Chapter 4: The Curse of History

 

The Curse of History

 

*

* * *

*

 

To see or not to see

the light at the end of the tunnel.

 

As the lunatic cannot know how lunatic he or she is,

the ignorant cannot know how ignorant he or she is.

 

How could we get to know

what we do not know we do not know?

 

Not knowing something

inevitably is not knowing

that we do not know it.

 

The peculiarity of unconsciousness or ignorance

is not knowing what we do not know or do not know yet.

 

We are unconscious

because we cannot know what we do not know.

 

If we cannot know what we do not know,

how can we continue to believe that we know everything,

how can we continue to believe that we know so much,

how can we continue to be so proud, arrogant and yet ignorant?

 

Against all odds,

what this implies and means

is huge, multiple and beautiful.

 

To realize that we cannot know what we do not know

is the beginning of a journey.

 

A voyage in which beauties are revealed all along,

endlessly reborn, always new and renewed.

 

The beauty of it all

is that wisdom is not only at the end of the journey.

 

Accessible to all, anywhere, anytime,

in all at once a timeless and endless way,

wisdom is the journey.

 

Wisdom is the beginning and the end,

at the very same time.

 

Wisdom reaches far beyond.

 

Far beyond the beginning and the end.

 

Timelessness is Eternity.

 

If Eternity is time and the beyond of time all at once,

then Eternity, never to vanish,

exists.

 

Right now,

at this very moment,

while you’re reading these lines,

eternity is within your reach.

 

If we assume that wisdom is infinite,

then the journey is as endless as wisdom is.

 

Not only is it our last chance.

 

The great Journey to Earthian Wisdom

is also the most beautiful voyage

we have ever set sails on

as a species, as the one human race.

 

It is a Noah’s Ark.

The one and only one.

 

*

 

Knowledge, Wisdom and Harmony.

 

Harmony, well-being, fulfilment, greatness, knowledge, wisdom, and satisfaction

are one and the same.

Inseparable by nature.

 

Look, and you shall see.

 

You shall see all

that cannot be written:

 

From the intimate to the universal, from being to species, from uniqueness to the universe,

subjectivity and infinite diversity, the rational and the irrational, calculations and emotions,

the unspeakable reality of this superior, magical space,

can only reveal itself to oneself.

 

The beauty of it is that reality can take on all forms,

even the ones we cannot imagine.

 

Even the ones we will never be able to imagine.

 

The Earth is a whole

which none, no society, no civilization, no one can or ever will

escape from.

 

Even though many are under the illusion

to believe that they’re so special

they can escape humanity’s destiny.

 

No one runs away from the fate of the earth and the world.

 

There’s nowhere else

in the accessible universe for us to leave for and live on.

 

None of us will ever escape the fate of the earth.

 

Not in the foreseeable future anyways.

Certainly not before hundreds of years,

if not thousands or even hundred-thousands of years.

 

If knowing limits is the only way of knowing what lies beyond limits,

therefore knowing our limitations

is knowing what lies beyond.

 

Knowing what lies beyond is our only chance to infinity, eternity,

life and salvation.

 

It is not a guess, it is not a supposition.

It is a revelation.

 

As scientific as it can get.

 

If you still can’t see, then open your eyes even wider

and see what the world dimension has to offer.

 

It’s unimaginable.

 

However great and worthy,

every word, every work

will always look pale,

compared to the existential, metaphysical, unspeakable vision

of our one and only Earth.

 

Earth,

our one and only universe.

 

Mother Earth,

You are universal.

 

May your thoughts and opinions

always be inspired by our world ship, by our one and only Earth.

 

See her,

put the Earth in your mind.

 

Put some earth in your heart and in your head,

and you shall be fertile.

 

Look at her, the way she looks from space.

The way she shines back out the light of the sun

That’s it, that’s all.

 

The moment we have the wisdom to work in harmony with our one planet,

she will reveal herself,

she will guide us, she will feed us, she will enrich us,

she will comfort us.

 

Not to do so would be sentencing ourselves to natural setbacks and dreadful punishments.

 

There’s still time.

 

The time is now.

 

*

 

Awareness of the possible

 

Not only are we unaware of what is possible or not,

but unaware as we all are of what is possible and possibly beneficial,

we do not measure the potential of all that is possible.

 

Ultimately, by not being aware of what is possible, by not believing in it,

we make the possible impossible…

 

Unawareness.

The unawareness of the possible.

 

How can we be aware of what we are not aware of?

 

To see or not to see.

That is the question.

 

To see how universal our own Earthian dimension and nature makes us

is seeing what presides over the universe.

 

While reading this,

if you have the curiosity, patience, courage, kindness and tolerance,

keep in mind

that the reality I am somehow trying to present here,

humankind has never experienced it,

we have never experienced it…

 

Thus,

may all whose eyes, minds and hearts

are touched by this humble writing

know and share it:

 

The development model made possible

by a united, democratic, ecological, solidarity-based and monetarily sovereign humanity,

will be far more effective and efficient than all the reforms combined

proposed by a financial capitalism

which keeps putting all of humankind and all of life at great risk.

 

No more doubt is allowed.

Or we shall pay the price.

 

It’s clear as day in the sunlight.

 

*

 

To see or not to see.

To progress or not to progress.

 

Unconsciousness

is everything we don’t know about ourselves and the world.

 

Because we are unaware of what we do not know,

our unconsciousness is directing us at our own expense.

 

When this ‘unconsciousness’ has been passed on to us by our parents

which had been passed on to them by their parents,

which had been passed on to them by their parents, and so on, endlessly, from time immemorial,

therefore our unconsciousness is a legacy from the dawn of consciousness.

 

This form of primitive ignorance

is at the root of our collective unconsciousness,

and at the origin of our common failings,

greed, tyranny, violence, hatred, resentment

that divide us and drive us further and further apart

when our only possible future

is to unite as fast as we can.

 

It is therefore relevant to present here

the major remedies for a macrocosmic transformation of the world-system,

in both physical and metaphysical, material and spiritual dimensions,

from the intimate to the universal.

 

*

 

Collective and individual unconsciousness

 

Our neurotic unconscious conditioning

has its origin in realities and behaviors that,

– through ancestral automatisms

dating back to the prehistoric, animal and immemorial times of our own human species -,

out of self-interest, fear, ignorance, recklessness,

we cannot understand, we cannot, we do not want to question.

 

It is precisely because of our ignorance, our conditionings and misrepresented beliefs

at the root of our individual and collective behaviour

that we are taken away our ability to question them,

and question ourselves.

 

Robbed of our ability to see,

robbed of our ability to reflect,

we cannot see the bright side, the positive inverse of our proneness to self-destruction…

 

Whether on an individual or a collective level,

it is precisely because these realities and behaviors from the origins

go back longer than anyone can remember

that we are not aware of them, or only in a foggy way,

and that we can hardly imagine anything else

than the state of the world as it’s been handed down to us.

 

That’s because we come from primitive ages,

because we come from the primeval night of consciousness and intelligence

that we are still blind and ignorant,

and therefore unable to make the right choices.

 

Humanity is only at the dawn of the era of consciousness.

 

In the dark,

light is the only guide.

 

It’s not because we cannot see it,

or only weakly,

that it doesn’t exist.

 

The fact that we have never experienced it before

does not mean that it is unlikely or impossible.

 

We do not know what we do not know.

It is tragic and terrible, it is touching and promising.

 

*

 

Humankind’s Karma.

 

As we refuse to see them,

as we refuse to find out and unveil their real natures,

their origin, their fate, their end,

the real causes to the real effects,

these multiple, individual and collective, unconscious behaviors

are all the more powerful

are all the more intertwined and interlocked

in exponential dynamics of cause-and-effect relationships,

sources of increasingly uncontrolled and unintended effects.

 

Blind to an increasingly complex world, ‘surreal’ with inhumanity,

our actions, our responses, our reactions

to the countless manifestations of this universal state of mind

multiplied by more than 7 billion every second,

– of our 7 billion intertwined destinies –

seem ‘off the mark’ and inappropriate.

 

Conditioned to defeatism since the dawn of time

through centuries of enslavement, violence, suffering and subjugation,

we are convinced that we have but little influence on the course of events.

 

Lost and unknowing,

ignorance drives you insane, unbalanced.

 

And yet,

the moment you understand that you do not understand,

the moment you know you do not know,

you start knowing, the journey begins.

 

For our ignorance itself opens the doors to the beyond.

Ignorance itself opens the doors to the invisible and the unknown.

 

Ignorance itself holds the key to infinity.

 

This belief, this feeling of powerlessness is an obstacle that thus must be faced and overcome.

 

If you only knew, however, how great your power is,

and how immense our collective power is.

 

We are all part of the whole.

 

Think of the world as one.

Think of the Earth as one.

And we will find our common mind, our common future, our common mission.

 

We all share the power to see it, to envision it, and make it possible.

 

Humanity reborn in harmony.

Humanity reborn in humanity.

Humanity reborn in unity.

 

The revelation of humanity’s power over itself

is the keystone to a new horizon, a new way, a new destination.

 

While division always pushes us down

in the most bloody and terrible aberrations,

together, we are always strong.

 

There is always strength in numbers.

 

Governing

is the art of orchestrating

our collective power into harmony

as much as humanly possible.

 

At the local, regional, national, continental and planetary levels,

the benefits of such guidance would be unimaginable.

 

*

Psycho-affective Hurricanes

 

Even though we may think at first glance,

that none of our behavior is that important,

that none of our life, none of our decisions, actions or reactions

really weigh on the whole,

even though we may think that we are trapped in insignificance,

when added together, constantly impacting each other,

all of our lives, all of our decisions, actions or reactions

obviously self-amplify exponentially to infinity.

 

Right now, the sum-total of our decisions and actions

is leading us to chaos, suffering, fright and loss of meaning.

 

Caught up in a negative and destructive dynamic,

we can no longer see or consider the benefits of positive dynamics.

 

No matter how small,

the consequences of our actions seem uncontrollable

and the general and inexorable march of the world seems to be leading us

towards ever more ignorance, injustice, suffering, division and inequality,

hatred and resentment.

 

Like an inevitable fate, we resign ourselves to brutality.

Humanity gives up on Humanity.

Humanity resigns itself to inhumanity…

 

Born into an already wandering humanity,

having always known our upside down world,

wandering is all we seem to know.

 

We cannot imagine anything different.

 

Our paranoid and neurotic civilization

leaves us, along with its biased perceptions of reality,

its pathologies, imbalances, neuroses, addictions, sufferings and disorders.

 

Despite all our good will,

our mistakes reinforce our misunderstanding,

 

All we do wrong

worsen

our wandering, our emotionality, our irrationality, our overreaction,

and perdition.

 

Prisoners of the psychosocial vicious circle of History.

Humankind’s History.

 

Self-sustained chain reaction

whose causes and consequences mutually and exponentially reinforce each other

and reproduce one another,

thus creating a double downward spiral:

 

A time downward spiral,

passed down over time,

from parent to child,

from generation to generation

like a genetic disease,

of gigantic proportions.

 

A space spiral,

spreading to the four horizons,

that, from contemporary to contemporary,

like a pandemic of global proportions,

we pass each other on and on,

as if by contagion.

 

Interwoven double downward spiral

which mutually, exponentially and indefinitely

reinforces itself,

as in a cascade of domino effects,

for the greatest misfortune of all

all over the planet.

 

That curse,

the vicious circle of history

is a typhoon, a cyclone, a hurricane of epic proportions.

 

Our only choice,

our only hope to salvation

lies in the reversal of the cycle.

 

The pit

into which Humanity is falling

is none other than the sum of all our mistakes, all our ignorance, all our violence,

of all our inhumanities, and their many and many consequences…

 

Hyper spiral of multiple turbulences

which, by mixing everything up in our heads and in the world,

entraps society and interhuman relations

into even greater disorder, conflict, death, hatred and suffering.

 

Like a pack of distorted mirrors,

it is collectively that we reinforce hatred,

violence, selfishness, fear, suffering, neurosis, egocentricity,

discrimination and violence,

closure to others as well as to oneself,

wandering, and general unconsciousness.

 

*

Mirroring

 

Imagine looking into a mirror

that makes you look disfigured,

constantly, every day,

whenever you check yourself into the mirror.

 

Who would like to look in this mirror?

 

Humans are mirrors.

 

Mirrors have a power.


The power to reflect.

 

Humans are mirrors.

 

Mirrors to each other.

 

Imagine

looking at yourself every day

in a mirror that makes you look slightly better

than the way you see yourself,

then your life would inevitably change for the better.

 

Humans are mirrors.

 

How can you not see it?

 

If only we gave others

a better reflection of themselves,

their own reflection

would reflect back on ourself,

in a much better way.

 

Each of us is a mirror.

 

We are all mirrors of one another.

 

If only we could get it.

 

If only we could understand

that we are all mirrors of each other,

then we would understand that

reflecting out a better, a prettier light and giving others a better, a higher reflection of themselves,

would necessarily shine out back on yourself,

whoever you are.

 

How can you not see it?

 

You are a mirror.

 

How can a mirror see itself?

 

By looking into another mirror.

 

Like a mirror, we can isolate ourself

and still reflect on anything.

 

However,

when we reflect another mirror

a dynamic, a magic sets out.

 

A reverberation occurs,

reflections of reflections,

as in a set of mirrors ad infinitum.

 

Then come to life amazing and unpredictable, magical things,

with a life, a movement of their own.


The repercussions are at the same time awe-inspiring and magnificent.

 

Like a mirror,

you can only see yourself in others.

 

Reflect them in a more beautiful light,

and they will reflect back to you in a more beautiful light.

 

Make them better,

they’ll make you better.

 

Make them happier,

you’ll be happier.

 

*

Ignorance of ignorance.

 

In days of old,

humankind did not know that electricity existed.

 

We were all the likelier not to discover it

as we were unaware of it.

 

As soon as we opened our eyes to it,

electricity revolutionized our lives.

 

Likewise,

a society reduced to servitude or despair ignores the possibility of freedom and happiness.

 

All we have to do

is realize, wake up, open our eyes, become aware of a few fundamental things.

 

In the age of slavery,

it was not just for fear of reprisals that slaves did not rebel,

but also because, having never known freedom,

they couldn’t imagine what it could be like,

what meaning freedom could give

to everybody’s life.

 

What does it all mean?

 

We have no alternative but to see.

We must see or get lost.

 

In the dark, with no light,

everyone gets lost.

 

First of all,

becoming aware of the infinite extent

of our chronic ignorance

is key.

 

As nothingness is by nature infinite

our infinite ignorance is probably the best proof

that the sources of knowledge and discovery are as infinite

as our ignorance is.

 

Ignorance of our own ignorance,

you give us humility as well as infinity.


For ignorance is infinite.

 

It’s a simple as that.

 

Is it not wonderful?

 

Is it not wonderful to know that

even though we are all ignorant and clueless,

infinity is within our reach, our grasp, our understanding?

 

Can’t you just see?

Can’t you just see it?

 

All we have to do is see the Earth in our minds.

 

It’s the essential first step.

 

If you want to live.

 

Whoever He or She is,

if God exists,

that is what God wants

that is God’s will.

 

Make the Earth and the Universe your reference point

to any genuine reflection

and you will see the Earth and the Universe

open up to you.

 

You will see the Earth and the Universe

open up in yourself.

 

This vision of a world in unity and balance

is like a divine inspiration.

 

May the mission inspire,

as in a divine breath of passion,

your words and positions.

 

As much as humans are, apart from a few rare exceptions, gifted with speech,

humans are endowed with conscience, feelings and compassion.

 

The only space-time dimension

within which humanity can be part of, and transformed,

within which history can be reinvented,

is inside you,

here and now, always and everywhere.

 

The only space-time dimension

within which we can free ourselves

from the chains of our past and the limitations imposed on us by our unconsciousness,

is in you, here and now

as much as it’s everywhere else.

 

The truth may be humble, but it is sublime.

 

More fertile and powerful

than all lies, all manipulation, all forms of domination,

Utopia will save humankind from capitalist self-destruction.

 

The raison d’être of humanity is Humanity itself.

 

*

The Earth

 

She’s the one who gives life,

she’s the one who takes it back.

Without her we are nothing.

Nothing is more powerful than her.

And she reigns over the human race.

 

Everything on Earth, Earth Herself, forces us to universal harmony

or total destruction.

 

From human invisibility to earthian invincibility,

are we not like her?

 

We all want those we love to live on.

 

Does she not want life to resist and persist?

Does she not want life to thrive and multiply?

 

Her message is more than a prayer for life and harmony.

 

It is a mission,

it is a calling.

 

Whoever you are, wherever you are,

your survival is at stake.

 

Our survival as a living species

hangs in the balance.

 

*

Seeker of Truth

Seeker of Justice

 

Which one do you trust?

 

The one who seeks truth and justice from the depths of their heart

or the one who doesn’t care at all?

 

Who is fairer? Who is closer to the truth?

 

Who wants to lead you away, as far as you can be led,

away from truth and justice?

 

How to trust the one who never seeks the truth?

 

The answer is not just an answer.


Light is the answer.

 

It’s as simple as that.

 

To find the truth,

you have to want it.

 

To serve the truth, you have to see it.

 

Beyond all words, all dogmas, all religions,

all the conditioning, all the manipulation, all lies,

all our ignorance and inconsequence,

seeking the truth

is a liberation.

It is a revelation in and of itself.

 

To seek the truth is necessarily to find it.

You just have to want it.

 

See.

Open your mind’s eye,

look and see.

 

See how everything gets so much easier,

when there’s light to see.

 

To see the light,

you have first to open your eyes.

 

Would a mirror be useful in the dark?

 

*

See and hear her universal message.

 

On this one and magical planet,

we are all connected.

 

How can you not see?

 

All of us, interconnected,

unique and similar at the same time,

on this one Earth.

 

The future is universal

or the future may never arise, never take place in any human consciousness.

 

Can you not see it at all?

 

The future will be universal,

or the future will vanish at the same time as humankind.

 

*

Defeatism is the opposite of success

 

Defeatism always means defeat.

 

Isn’t the contemporaneous pervasive defeatism a form of renouncement?

Isn’t the contemporaneous pervasive defeatism a form of surrender?

 

Isn’t the contemporaneous pervasive defeatism a form of propaganda

commanding us to think

that the truth of this world and this Earth

should eternally correspond to the contemporary reality of this derailing ultra-capitalist civilization?

 

Are you not tired of hearing in all shapes and forms

Margaret Thatcher’s most famous defeatist leitmotiv:

“There is no alternative,”

“There is no alternative to super greedy capitalism.”

 

The world as it is

is the sum of consequences whose causes are obscure to most of us.

 

Never will the world, its peoples and nations

reach an optimal state

without ever tackling the true causes of global failure.

 

Taking the world as it is as a standpoint,

with its injustices and slavery, its sadisms and absurdities,

as a reference point will never solve anything.

Because that would be mistaking effects for causes.

 

I can run as many tests as possible,

I can see as many doctors as I can afford,

I can have as many chemos as I can endure,

if I don’t give up smoking,

I’ll never heal.

 

Mistaking the symptoms for the disease, or the effect for the cause,

is a gross deviation significant of a blind humankind.

 

But it is not just about seeing the causes,

because they are just the starting point.

 

It is also about seeing where we need to go.

 

If there is one thing without which we are nothing,

it’s Her.

 

The Earth.

 

She’s calling us

to return, to come back to life.

 

This destination,

is the universal Earth and its message of life.

 

Our promised land in no way is a utopia

or anything unrealistic.

 

If saving our planet is the solution, the only cure to the curse,

then the utopia is the only remedy,

the only way out of the mess

the curse has brought upon us.

 

If continuing on our cursed path

means the almost certain death of the human race,

then the utopia is an absolute and vital need,

the only cure for the deadly poison of ultra-capitalism.

 

The utopia is the antidote,

and the ultra-capitalist world a dangerous illusion.

 

The utopia is the cure,

ultra-capitalism the poison.

 

In no way whatsoever does today’s world

reflect

the potential of our world, of our own world whose potential is so unimaginably great.

 

Who today could predict

what the world could turn out to be

should we be doing what it takes

to save it?

 

Under the guise of pragmatism and rationality,

their defeatism, and yours,

is at worst psychological totalitarianism whose aim is to nip in the bud

any form of hope for a more just and humane world,

at best an admission of weakness, evidence of cognitive limitation

and therefore a self-declared form of discredit.

 

*

Conscience and evolution

 

The bedrock of being, of consciousness, is life.

 

Life affects us all.

Life is universal.

 

Like life, consciousness is infinite, and its scope is universal.

Like life and conscience, freedom is offered to us all.

 

Thus, freedom of conscience is everywhere and is embodied in each of us.

 

Accessible to all those who decide to take it,

because it is human, this vision of a humane, fair and caring world

is simple and universal.

 

Sincerity alone is a remedy for ignorance.

 

Intimate and emotional sincerity alone is a remedy for barbarism.

 

To save humanity, we must be human.

 

It is only a matter of opening ourselves to it

so that we in turn can share it with whoever wants to take it.

 

This philosophy is eminently solidarity-based, humanistic and universal,

democratic, human, intelligent, sensitive and emotional, terrestrial, earthian.

 

Seeing and knowing are free and gratuitous acts,

and yet they make all the difference,

because before any action or decision making

there is an idea, a feeling, an emotion, a vision.

 

In this sense, this freedom to see and offer is an inherently political decision.

 

If knowledge is power,

so learning how to see is the first r-evolutionary act.

Globalization :

Achievement of History?

 

In that it is one and universal,

the world carries within itself the solution(s) we have all been waiting for so long,

that we so desperately need today.

 

Solutions are out there and all we have to do is reach out for them.

 

Sadly, endured more than fulfilled,

globalization today has far more destructive than salutary effects.

 

Since globalization is but a recent thing on this scale and degree of immediacy,

humanity has not yet had time to think of itself on a planetary scale.

 

Mired in conflicts of all kinds and natures,

whose origins go all the way back in history, beyond memory,

conflicts exacerbated by the global rule of lawlessness,

humankind has not yet found the means to represent itself

as an interdependent and interconnected whole.

 

Since predatory and carnivorous management of the Earth’s resources makes today’s law,

it necessarily results in chaos.

 

Thus,

the disasters and carnage that injustice brings about

inevitably sound the emergency sirens

in an ever more tragic, absurd and deafening way all around the Earth.

 

So blinded and swept away

by the systemic, runaway, uncontrollable, uncontrolled, paranoid, irrational

and totally neurotic whirlwind of globalized financial capitalism,

since they do not know who they are, where they are or where they are from,

humans cannot know where they are going.

 

Humanity cannot be aware

that only the Earth can reveal who humanity is.

 

If the Earth and Humanity are inextricably linked,

a united humanity is necessarily a humanity in harmony.

 

From a broad geopolitical point of view

as well as from a sociopyschological, economic and emotional point of view,

so as not to get carried away by the events arisen from the sum of the histories,

and make some deathly mistakes,

so as to break free from the karmic chain of cause and effect, from the self-perpetuating vicious circles

in which each nation-state is mired,

every culture, every religion, every people, every human being,

humanity must be able to think of itself as a whole.

 

This is the leap, the ideological leap of the century,

if not the millennium.

 

We have no other choice

than the choice of simple, clear, fair and authentically human wisdom.

 

Humanity alone can save itself.

Humanism shall save humanity.

 

*

Living is not a sacrifice.

 

Since salvation is necessarily the best option,

then salvation requires the least effort and sacrifice

compared to all possible alternatives.

 

To choose the planetary universal and solidarity,

is to choose the greatest possible relative freedom on Earth.

 

Living is not a sacrifice.

The ultimate sacrifice is to die.

 

The intent is to disable the disastrous and destructive dynamics

that lead us directly and with increasing speed to the edge of the cliff.

 

The aim is to map out

not only possible but also highly realistic ways to salvation.

 

More than urgent and vital,

an ideological alternative is highly desirable.

 

Earth calls us to happiness.

The Earth calls humanity and all human beings to be happy and to flourish.

 

This calling is wonderful news.

Enemy

 

Do you have any enemies?

Whose enemies would you be?

Your own?

 

Animal, proto-anthropological, prehistoric and historical heritage,

to this day, from the beginning of time,

man has built societies with a greater or lesser fear and/or hatred

of a possible, potential, real or imaginary enemy,

that might if not invade or kill him, at least threaten him,

physically, strategically, psychologically, militarily or economically.

 

Who alas, on the vast battlefield we call Earth today

would deny that truth, that veraciousness?

 

Our habit of having an enemy or enemies is so ancient,

so profoundly ingrained in our psyche that it controls us,

that it controls us with all the more power since it’s unconscious

and many of us prefer fighting rather than helping each other.

 

We are so trapped that we neither see the trap nor the way out.

 

We forget that even when it’s dark,

the sun is shining somewhere in the sky.

 

Thus,

the effects on individuals and society

of nearly permanent declared or latent states of conflict

which today weigh more than ever in the history of all humankind,

are mostly unknown to us.

 

How can we know the effects when we don’t know the causes?

 

The root causes of events are not always visible

but discovering them is like discovering diamonds or talismans

that enlighten and liberate souls.

 

Forever or almost forever ingrained in the collective memory,

the omnipresence of the Threat permeates our entire civilization, our entire culture

and conditions each and every one of us, personally.

 

It conditions our behavior and our ways of thinking,

to the extent that the presence, the reality and even the notion of the Enemy in the collective imagination

seems to us just as banal and natural,

as insurmountable and indestructible.

 

Today, for the benefit of rich minorities,

the threat is fabricated, the fear exploited by society and leaders of all stripes and sides

in order to better turn us against each other

and thus better control us.

 

The powerful, the despots, the tyrants, of all kinds,

advocate division and violence, crime, terror and lies to rule.

 

And yet,

unlike any other time in its history,

humanity now has the technological, scientific and communication means

to provide for all its basic needs,

if not more, a lot more.

 

Even now,

it’s not too late to get started, far from it.

 

When there is a will, there is a way.

 

Conversely,

when there is a way to see, there can be a will.

 

How can we not see

that what is presented to us as the only possible way is a dead end, a cosmic impossibility,

and that everything we’re told is impossible

is actually the only possible future,

the ultimate condition for human survival on Earth?

 

*

The curse

 

Believing and making believe that aggression is beneficial

is a cursed illusion that leads the world to its doom.

 

To advocate gratuitous aggression is always illegitimate, inhuman, unjust.

 

Sadly, despots and tyrants thrive on fear and division.

 

The tyrants’ game of making enemies in order to reign

is a curse on mankind.

 

Tyranny

is the factory of terror,

it’s the hate factory,

like a horror movie, but in real life.

 

Have we ever seen a tyrant who is a liberator?

 

A liberator may turn into a tyrant,

but it is never the other way around.

 

The only possible liberation is the universal vision.

Only it can free us from fear, ignorance and submission.

 

*

Restoring Serenity:

freedom from fear.

 

Fear has two well-defined causes:

Survival instinct,

and psychological, metaphysical, emotional, spiritual fear.

 

In the first case,

it’s a sign from the body to itself that there’s danger.

and be prepared to spring into action if necessary.

 

The second one is metaphysical, psychological:

fear most often takes shape in our minds,

either in recalling a past threat,

by being embodied either in a persistent memory,

often distorted, fantasized,

or in a future that is by nature unpredictable, imagined.

 

An unknown future, which by nature has no limits.

 

In the unknown and ignorance,

the threat of what we do not know can take any form, put on any appearance.

 

The enemy seems to us all the more invincible and terrible

that it is fantasized, conditioned, illusory, unconscious, even fabricated.

 

For it is not so much the enemy that we fear as the idea we have of him.

 

Indeed,

have you ever tried to defeat a ghost?

 

Everywhere and nowhere all at once,

he is nobody and everybody at the same time.

 

That is exactly how the despot feels.

 

The Enemy can be anyone,

like the terrorist, but in your head, he could be anywhere,

he could strike anytime, anywhere…

 

Fantasy becomes reality,

fear breeds threat and gives it ever more strength,

substance and weight to its own reality,

ever more reason to believe in him, the accursed offspring of fear and ignorance:

the Enemy.

 

In truth, it’s our fear itself that,

because it’ s unreasonable,

gives rise to danger.

 

Obsessed with the threat,

voluntarily imprisoned in a climate of fear,

we respond defensively

to situations that we do not know and/or misunderstand.

 

And the more we fear the enemy, the less we seek to know the enemy,

the more misguided we are about the enemy, the more mistaken we are about the enemy.

 

And the less we seek to know the deeper nature

of our fear and ‘hate’

the worse we make things,

for not facing reality,

we don’t know it anymore,

for not facing our so-called enemy honestly,

then we don’t understand him anymore.

 

Since we can’t get a clear idea

of the dimension, scope and consequences of a person or a reality

if we don’t know it,

therefore it eludes us and scares us.

Thus, fear gets all the more powerful

that the unknown has no boundaries by nature.

 

And we are all the more uncomfortable with our sense of threat and insecurity

that it is above all in ourselves.

 

When we neither understand ourselves nor each other anymore,

we lose control.

 

Fear has taken hold and control.

 

Like animals fleeing or attacking,

believing you to be their predator, their potential enemy,

even when you want to do them the greatest good,

does the enemy you think you see really exist?

 

Then you make mistakes that will only serve to heighten the tension,

confirm the existence of the enemy and increase the chances of conflicts.

 

Especially since the other side probably feels the same way,

that they are probably the plaything of the same fundamental mechanisms,

mechanisms all the more difficult to control

that the number of individuals sharing a common enmity is high.

 

Sadly,

the enemy sows fear and reaps enmity.

 

Once we become enemies of someone,

successively,

this latent state of siege becomes permanent.

 

Thus,

the enemy gives birth to the enemy.

 

As time passes and generations unfold,

it permeates, transforms and controls the entire society.

 

Hate and fear spread like poison in our minds as well as society.

 

Not only do conflicts intensify, grow stronger and multiply,

but on top of that they change our behavior,

our state of mind and our identity.

 

The question then arises as to whether it’s me or the enemy

that creates the greatest threat…

 

Indeed,

by dint of living in hatred, then one becomes dependent on the enemy.

 

Just as the master is dependent on his slave,

if the object of our hatred were to disappear,

then humans devoured by hatred would need to find another one

because, having always lived in hatred,

then they would have almost lost their reason for living,

and would thus have no choice but

either to condemn themselves to continue to hate

to hate the universe and all mankind, God himself,

until the end of time

and make other enemies, make enemies of other people,

until the end, ad vitam aeternam, to the grave;

 

Or find another way of appeasement and serenity,

of justice and truth, of universal understanding and wisdom.

 

*

Fear signals an error

 

It is precisely our fear, and our hatred,

– the threat that the Other represents in our fantasy world,

hyper-rooted in our personal and collective subconscious mind -,

that the authorities are using to control us, to divide us,

and keep us in a state of slavery,

us, the people of Earth.

 

Of course,

this perverse, negative, violent, desperate logic

worsens as economic, political and social situations deteriorate.

 

This psycho-socio-historical reality based on threat and fear

makes global economic, political and social institutions

even more fragile and unbalanced.

 

Thus,

it is society as a whole, with its elites in the lead,

that works towards its own degeneration, its own destruction.

 

It is a curse.

 

And with chaos comes the enemy and the scapegoat.

 

The enemy gives birth to the enemy.

 

The Threat becomes omnipresent.

 

And conflict becomes reality.

 

Until things get so absurd and terrible

that men will again decide, if given the chance,

to do everything possible to end their war and reconcile.

 

For it is the only way to hope to continue living.

 

Because of the far-reaching repercussions of this collective state of mind

based on a reality that reflects our fantasies,

we drag each other into unreality,

a kind of parallel world where each of us wanders in his or her own way,

and makes mistakes that, however small, have an impact on others,

thus closing the loop and reinforcing widespread paranoia,

indefinitely…

 

A dynamic is then set in motion that is all the more powerfully retroactive

as the number of individuals it affects is substantial.

 

The more fear and resentment is shared by a large number of people,

the stronger the impact of that paranoid fantasy on reality.

 

*

Peace is incompatible with fear.

 

Terrible and destructive, absurd fear of the Other.

Barbaric and diabolical, absurd hatred of the Other.

 

Fear and hatred of our own reflection in the Other’s eyes?

 

Since peace is incompatible with fear,

then fear is one of the primary, recurring, underlying causes,

the first step that leads us to conflict, to war.

 

To be so afraid that we cannot see anything anymore.

makes us make decisions against reason,

against wisdom, against collective, personal and interrelational interests.

 

Because fear makes us imagine problems that don’t exist,

it makes us imagine enemies where no enemies exist.

 

We make mountains out of molehills.

 

Fear dictates decisions and actions that,

by reinforcing the enmity of those we believe to be our enemies,

reinforce feelings of fear and enmity on both sides.

and thus create a chain reaction

which escalates to increasingly systemic and catastrophic proportions.

 

Wars are primarily born out of fear, justified or not,

that we have of each other.

 

The powers that be, in order to retain their power and privilege,

use fear to manipulate us, to manipulate and enslave us, the people, all peoples.

 

Why is that?

Because they themselves are prey to fear.

 

So fear takes possession of the world and its souls.

 

It is when fear takes possession of the world

that nightmares and horrors can begin.

 

Not to be afraid,

means coping with neurotic diseases

of a fragile humanity prey to the fear of ceasing to live.

 

Is it precisely because we are afraid of not surviving

that we’re causing our own demise?

That would be absurd.

And yet…

 

Because being afraid

means losing so many reasons and chances to hope, smile and rejoice,

so let us not be afraid anymore.

 

Since we can find neither harmony nor happiness if we are afraid,

so let us not be afraid anymore.

 

Luckily, if we can always assume the worst of a situation,

we can also choose to hope for the best.

 

For every problem there is a solution.

 

If fear is the negative opposite of hope, then hope is the positive opposite of fear.

 

Hope.

 

It is above all in our minds and hearts that the solution is to be found.

 

If only we could understand that all of our solutions

lie in cooperation, not competition,

if only we would learn,

with simplicity, wisdom, bravery and humanity

not to be afraid of each other anymore,

then we could conquer fear,

which is the source of rejection, hatred, conflict and war.

 

So could we regain trust and hope.

 

Only then will we be able to correct

all of our collective mistakes

which, if left unchecked, are going to have absolutely catastrophic effects.

 

Because if fear begets nightmares,

hope gives birth to dreams.

 

If fear begets conflict and war,

trust is the source of harmony;

trust and harmony give birth to themselves.

 

So peace, trust, serenity, prosperity and harmony

will finally be able to reign on Earth,

at the heart of humanity, amid all humans.

 

*

The only way to overcome fear

is to stand together.

 

The only cure for fear

is universal fellowship.

 

The only way to wisdom

is the union of the world and humanity.

 

*

Being the enemy

 

History has clearly shown us how easy it was

to manipulate the masses plagued by fear and therefore hatred

and fanaticize them with the simplistic dogmatism of the scapegoat,

which makes the executioner believe he’s superior,

while the victims are by definition in a position of inferiority or vulnerability.

 

O how easy it is to blame the other

especially when they are in a position of inferiority or vulnerability.

 

Problems are no longer complex.

There’s no need to think or search for the truth.

 

All problems are linked to an enemy

considered intrinsically inferior and evil,

which gives the one who surrenders to it a rationale:

to blame, victimize and even exterminate the scapegoat.

 

Dogmatic fanatics of all stripes have understood this.

 

But let there be no mistake,

ignorance and barbarism do not and never will reach anything divine.

 

To make oneself the enemy of the human,

is to make oneself an enemy of the Divine.

 

There is no truth more absolute than this one.

 

Almost 8 billion human beings all competing with each other…

8 billion human beings all at war with each other…

 

Is that what a perfect God would want?

 

*

Defeating the Enemy

 

The breeding ground for our enemy

is our fear of no longer being able to provide for ourselves,

our fear of not surviving,

our fear of dying.

 

It is common to all human beings, everywhere on Earth.

 

To recognize the universality of this process,

to recognize that we are all victims

of the same unconscious and collective mechanisms would be a blessing.

 

For us to recognize each other

such as we are:

human.

 

Or will the Earth once again go up in flames?

 

Turned into hell one more time

by psychotic, ignorant, childish, unconscious tyrants…

 

War is always synonymous with suffering and death for all belligerents.

 

The other is the one I can live through,

without whom I cannot survive,

without whom no one can survive,

not even man or the most powerful oligarchy

because without others, civilization would simply collapse, obviously.

 

Without others, we’re reduced to a Robinson Crusoe who’s lost everything,

 

No technology can be useful for long

without a source of energy, supplies, maintenance, means, time.

 

Without others, there is no evolution.

Without others, I do not exist.

Without others, no one can come into the world.

 

The Other is not an enemy.

 

The enemy is first and foremost the fruit of our mutual misunderstanding,

not only of the other and of the world, but also and above all of ourselves and the purposes of our existence.

 

We all want for ourselves what others want for themselves:

 

Who can’t wish for him or herself and those he and she loves

the satisfaction of one’s own basic needs, well-being, understanding, peace,

harmony, personal and relational development, dialogue, exchange,

sharing, friendship, love, happiness, gratitude,

life and a form of transcendence?

 

We have not only scientific and technological,

but also sociological, psychological, monetary, economic, political and agro-ecological knowledge

to do this.

 

The Earth has the natural resources

to feed the nine to eleven billion people that humanity will have by 2050,

to sustain us all

if we could just get the wisdom and insight

to face the obvious.

 

All it would take is a willingness to stop being manipulated

either by ourselves,

or by those who impose this tyrannical system

in an unfair, brutal, absurd and stupid way

by sacrificing us, exploiting us,

so as to sacrifice us and exploit us for evermore

by dividing us through propaganda, envy, fear, hatred and ignorance.

 

*

Grace

 

This situation is all the more absurd, unjust and revolting

that we’re depriving ourselves,

poor fools that we are,

of unimaginable grace

of simple and therefore quite accessible delight,

of well-being and good living simultaneously unique and multiple, quasi-ecstatic.

 

That is so true. That is so possible.

And yet how many will doubt it?

 

Not knowing what we do not know,

such is the curse of unconsciousness.

 

If death is the impossible,

then the path of the possible is self-evident.

 

The meaning of life, in the first place, is life itself.

 

By its very nature beyond nobody’s reach,

this meaning is a fundamental,

universal, inalienable, absolute and free right.

 

All you have to do is believe in it,

believe in yourself, believe in humanity.

 

Not to believe blindly,

but to see that it’s possible.

 

To believe in yourself is to believe in humanity

and vice versa,

to believe in humanity is to believe in yourself.

 

This faith is necessary to see.

It is the antidote to blindness and despair.

 

Indeed, what enemy would remain

in the midst of a humanity finally united?

 

To open its petals to the sun,

a flower needs nothing more than being itself,

and it all happens effortlessly, in the most natural way in the world.

 

Humanity exists.

It only needs to realize it

for it to realize itself and flourish.

 

*

Divide to Rule.

 

The enemy is a shield for power.

 

Never has a free people ever wanted to dominate another people on its own initiative

without its leaders making him want to

by instilling division, fear, hatred, ignorance, resentment

by blaming the Other, to maintain their power and privilege,

in a propitious climate of crisis, misery and poverty which they themselves helped to create.

 

Or without the leaders of a foreign power looking for the same thing,

for exactly the same reasons as the first ones,

to extend their powers over the resources and territories of a neighboring nation;

or both at the same time.

 

The truth is, in times of crisis, leaders always do the same things:

In order to tame the people and prevent insurrections against their increasingly illegitimate authority,

in order to divert the people’s attention to a false enemy, internal or external,

it is either to divide their own people and push them into conflict with themselves,

or find a foreign enemy for an all-out war with another country.

 

In all cases, leaders make enemies, foreign or domestic,

and create conflicts of all kinds to protect themselves,

so that they can present themselves as the people’s defenders,

even as they shed the blood and tears of their own people for their own self-interest,

taking advantage of the confusion and chaos

so as to turn the spotlight away from their own plots and injustices, corruption, poverty and inequality,

because the ruling castes know that the will of their people may very well turn out to be,

as soon as it is set,

relentless.

 

When they no longer work for the good of their people,

the leaders are afraid and defiant of their own people,

because Democracy is incompatible with injustice.

 

Then tyrants get paranoid

and are afraid of critical and dissenting voices,

before they even speak out.

 

Then tyrants who are afraid of losing power and privilege

muzzle the press, freedom of expression, control the media, stifle thought and creativity,

and thus prevent mutation, evolution, progress and salvation.

 

*

 

A new heart

 

To live, humanity must want more than just to survive.

 

Survival is no longer enough.

 

Thus,

the law of the strongest must no longer apply to humankind.

 

This is the new level of evolution

that mankind must strive to climb at all costs:

No longer advocate actively or passively

the universal competition of all against all…

Stop sowing misery, injustice and inequality everywhere

to the point of risking self-annihilation.

 

Our challenge is to rise

above these cruel and primitive, intolerant and punitive laws

in order to accomplish the unimaginable,

and make possible what today still seems impossible.

 

Who would want their children to be unable to aspire to peace, to hope,

and know happiness, greatness and grace?

 

Who would want their children

to be subjected to increasingly alienating, alienating and enslaving competition,

to growing spiritual turmoil and emotional isolation

in a world that’s slipping further and further into over-exploitation, predatory greed,

climatic, ecological, scientific, technological and health risks,

absurdity, barbarism, murderous abomination, suffering and misery?

 

We must no longer, we can no longer be contented

with just surviving.

 

Look at Europe, France and Germany after World War II:

if the efforts of a people or peoples for justice, clemency and forgiveness are sincere,

it does not take many generations for past, present and even future wrongs

to be forgiven.

 

Children have a new heart and can appreciate, love, attach themselves to human beings

belonging to groups formerly enemies of their ancestors.

 

So whoever we are, we can rest assured:

clemency exists.

 

No matter how many obstacles there may be to clemency,

the more I study and contemplate the likelihood of a united, solid and harmonious world,

the more I see of its feasibility, its likelihood, its realism, its inevitability.

 

*

With simplicity, clarity but also power and generosity,

it is in the trinitarian union of the Earth, the Other and the Self

that this path is unveiled:

 

The Universal.

 

*

The end of the enemy.

A united world.

 

We episodically, regularly see

protests against the money-dominated world order

to demand more justice and humanity.

 

But these commonsense protests

are only sectoral or national

and therefore carry no weight

in the face of the globalization of economic and financial exchanges

and the globalization of the hyper wealthy elites.

 

In this day and age,

for us to have the power to make a difference

and save humanity from the greatest disaster of all times,

it is essential that we, the people of the Earth,

all together and all at the same time, all over the world,

in the name of the survival of mankind,

decide to be the voice of humanism and make it heard,

so as to force all of our economic, political and military leaders

to cooperate, to be fair and united.

 

For a few hours or until the end of time,

all peoples just have to rise up, the whole Earth has to rise up.

 

It would be enough for all the humble and the just, all the lovers of life

to make the voice of wisdom, justice, life and humanism heard.

 

In these apocalyptic times,

in order to defeat the forces of death,

all beings of life and goodness,

all human beings worthy of the name,

must stand up and unite to demand respect, humanism, wisdom and justice.

 

No matter how strong or powerful,

once humanity realizes the power of that which unites it,

the power of its effective union,

no force or power will ever again be able to subdue or dominate it,

nor exploit it, nor corrupt it, nor torture it, nor mutilate it.

 

All together,

we could give birth

to a nation of nations, a supra-nation,

to a nation that transcends and elevates all other nations,

to a people that transcends and uplifts all other peoples,

to a nation that neither oppresses nor oppresses,

but a nation that reveals and liberates.

 

A supra nation that guarantees justice and peace among nations

is indeed necessarily a guarantee of the sovereignty of all nations.

 

Peoples will unite as soon as they have understood

that it is when they are united that they will be free.

 

Intrinsically democratic and universal,

all the more just because it’s legitimate,

all the more legitimate as it is just,

it will not be until humanity realizes

the power and justice that emanates from itself

that humanity will find the strength to overcome

all abuses of power, whatever they may be.

 

Driven by the universal humanist word,

united in the hope of a new civilization,

transcendent in that it is universal,

the peoples of the Earth could give birth to a new global harmony

based on cooperation of all with all rather than war of all against all.

 

Because the convergence of all

climatic, ecological, energy, economic, financial, political, social or military crises

sooner or later will force us to urgently find a truly effective solution,

rich or poor, famous or anonymous,

humble or powerful, oppressor or oppressed, underling or ruler,

man, woman or child,

we are all called to decide or decline.

 

This is the only force, the only phenomenon that is powerful enough

to overthrow the tyranny of money and globalized elites.

 

By its universal contesting power,

humanity could find a balance

and initiate a truly democratic and sovereign form of universal governance,

made by the peoples and for the peoples,

both federal and transnational,

founded by sovereign nations eager to remain so.

 

It only takes one thing from which all the others will flow:

the union of the world.

 

Collective faith in oneself

is the primary condition for the survival of humanity and the human person.

 

It is a proven fact:

we could relatively easily

provide for the basic needs of all the inhabitants of the Earth.

 

*

Goodness outshines, outweighs and out-performs evil.

 

Because the vast majority of human beings, most of their lifetime

have benevolent and positive human thoughts,

the value and quantity of good is always greater than evil.

 

Tyrants,

those who thirst for tyranny over others

will always be few and far between.

 

Even when an evil minority has seized power,

all it would take is for good souls to unite and stand up

to triumph over absurd, ignorant and evil tyranny.

 

For we are always superior in absolute terms.

 

However unfair and evil he may be,

what can a tyrant do when all the people rise up against him?

 

*

Seeing is empowering.

 

Because at the origin of all human action, there is perception,

then we need to see.

 

That is all we’re being asked to do.

 

See

that humanity is the raison d’être, the finality,

of all humankind.

 

We shall live or die

together.

 

*

Harmony, Peace, Love, Wisdom and Justice.

 

Nothing is more precious.

Nothing is more legitimate.

 

*

* * *

*

 

Global harmonization

 

The Union of the Peoples and Nations of the Earth

could quite easily be achieved by establishing a foundation of common

monetary, social, wage-related, financial, fiscal, economic and ecological laws

and by reforming and democratizing the UN and transforming finance and major international bodies.

 

Representing all nationalities at the same time,

such a harmonization would represent none of them at the expense of any other.

 

Because it would govern for everyone, it would belong to no one,

because it would belong to no one, it would work for everyone.

 

Only global harmonization can accomplish this feat of politics,

in the most inexorable and inexorably noble sense of the word.

 

Because having life on Earth and the continuation of humanity as its absolute purpose,

it would be the voice of all by virtue of its universal multitude.

 

Indeed,

it is in the multitude as well as in the national and local particularities,

in the candid as well as the expert,

that the universal is revealed.

 

The universal is everywhere, the universal is in everything.

 

It is embodied in the human as much as in humanity.

 

Like God,

the universal concerns and transcends everything and everyone.

 

If humans succeeded in uniting,

in sharing on a global level, in finding a balance,

they might then discover that there would be no assets or resources left to covet,

there would be no more countries or space to conquer,

no more nations or people to exploit or slaughter.

 

If the peoples of the world were to unite,

they might then discover there would be no more enemies

to be feared, fought, invaded, annihilated or redeemed.

 

With union, the feeling of threat gradually fades away,

the notion of the enemy itself loses its destructive power.

 

The great ecological and climatic crisis forces us to do so.

It leaves us no choice.

Its power is ultimate.

 

A united and self-aware humanity is a humanity at peace.

Peace is thus the condition for peace and unity.

 

Today, more than ever, the best guarantor

of my own well-being, self-esteem and prosperity,

those of my loved ones, those of my own country

is the well-being, respect, prosperity of all and of all countries.

 

To decline, obscurantism, violence and decadence

must be counterposed freedom, conscience, fulfilment, light, justice and truth.

 

Wisdom is necessarily happy.

 

It calls for well-being, and sometimes, I dare say often,

for the glorious and wonderful.

 

*

Unique Earth,

you’re our only Promised Land.

 

You are our one and only destination.

 

*

The Universal:

Dream or reality?

 

Have you ever found yourself dreaming

about the new living conditions,

new forms of society, new styles of governance,

that could come true in a united and harmonized world?

 

Have you never imagined the power,

have you ever tried to imagine or measure the potential

of the union of all the peoples of the Earth

of the vast majority of Earthians

rallied to a common cause,

united in a common and universal purpose,

on the scale of the Earth and of humankind?

 

If not, do it, close your eyes.

See how our biggest problems would vanish, as if by magic.

 

Victorious unions,

history offers us thousands and thousands of examples…

 

No one can therefore reject the possibility of world unity

under the guise that it would be absolutely unrealistic,

under no circumstances possible.

 

Together we are stronger.

 

To become a reality on Earth,

universal harmony must first become a dream,

shared by all.

 

All across the world, from micro to macro, from local to global,

detailed solutions are flourishing.

 

Even if we didn’t know how,

it would be of little consequence.

Going in the direction of the universal is the only way.

 

The universal is both the end and the means.

 

In all possible circumstances, at all scales, at all levels,

as far as humanly possible,

let us choose to move towards planetary union, democratic and inclusive,

and how to do it will impose itself.

 

The future is and always will be

a journey into the unknown.

 

And when you know a little bit about biological diversity

as well as the variety of different climatic and even geological conditions

that the Earth has known on its surface

all throughout its 4.5 billion year history

– its different types of climates, the evolution of its atmosphere, its dinosaurs,

its giant insects and sea creatures -,

one wonders what unknowns she shall lead us to,

what fantastic delirium life shall sooner or later bring us

if we continue to mistreat all forms of life, nature and the environment in this way,

if we continue, for whatever reason,

to produce, possess, consume,

selfish and extreme, absurd, shallow and artificial to excess,

without any consideration for the consequences of our actions,

unaware of our decisions and positions,

to the point of foolishness, to the point of aberration,

at the expense of everything else, everything alive,

including ourselves…

 

When you know even just a little bit of history

you know what men and civilizations are capable of,

you know that anything is possible,

the good as well as the worst, the bad as well as the best.

 

From the most terrifying nightmare to the most unbelievable bliss on Earth,

you realize we have to make a choice:

to go in the direction of wisdom, truth and harmony,

or of meaninglessness, nonsense and agony.

 

To go on living in a state of perpetual competition and conflict,

or to learn how to live in harmony with my fellow-humans,

with my loved ones, with the rest of the world, and myself.

 

We believe that the solution to our troubles

could take the form of a technological miracle?

 

Not only.

 

Scientific, climatic, geological, metaphysical,

psychological, civilizational, relational and emotional

humanity has reached a new level of evolution.

 

For the first time in its history,

humanity interacts with itself,

on the scale of the Earth, on a universal scale

at such speed and to such a degree, of immediacy and efficiency

that we are truly beginning to break free

from certain terrestrial space-time limitations…

 

It is precisely at this stage of evolution

where techno-science can help us to self-annihilate ourselves

that we have the techno-scientific knowledge and means

to solve the major problems of mankind,

if we use them wisely and peacefully.

 

This is a tremendous opportunity.

 

Fertile and fruitful,

our Mother Earth offers us, in addition to Consciousness,

a Renewed Inspiration:

The Universal.

 

Lost in a universe still almost totally incomprehensible to this day,

an unfathomable, immeasurable universe,

life on Earth

contains endless possibilities…

 

The Earth is one

but life is infinite.

 

For Life,

diversity is a source of richness and fruitfulness.

 

Life is born from the potentially infinite diversity

of the different forms of life on Earth,

and all their interactions.

 

Nothing and no one is beyond her,

Nothing and no one is above her.

All human beings are mortal.

 

There is no real progress for the human race

except in its harmony, its unity, its union

through the evolution of consciousness,

and the awakening of a universal consciousness

by nature accessible to all.

 

Since the dawn of time,

the history of humanity has been profoundly marked

by the struggle for survival and the law of the strongest.

 

Is that why?

 

Is it because we are afraid, afraid of what we name enemy

that we are so eager to dominate,

to subdue the Other, to tame nature and the living?

 

Haunted since the beginning of time,

by this ancestral, genetic reminiscence,

by this memory of the living, of our own species,

heavy with so much suffering, tears and screams

of the times when man, woman and child, still in the animal state,

could not, at the dawn of any consciousness,

view their natural environment and the Earth

otherwise than as leaving them no choice but to fight,

fight the elements, fight predators, including their own brethren,

we can’t help but join our voice to this primal cry of pain

that still resonates within each of us

and thus often perpetuate the curse of history.

 

Let us no longer seek revenge

for those far-off and unknown times of the origins

on Earth, on the living and on ourselves.

 

This revenge against ourselves,

the Earth and the elements is childish and counterproductive;

it’ s uncontrolled, unconscious and therefore doomed to failure.

 

Earth,

you offer us life and yet,

we treat you with such contempt, arrogance, relentlessness and indecency.

 

Paradox at the height of absurdity and ignorance,

in the name of our own right to exist,

in defense against enemies, manufactured or imagined,

we all together risk self-destructing

in a pretty hellish fireworks display,

sentence of agony and death for the human race

and leaving for posterity only our inability to adapt,

our feeble intelligence, our mediocrity, our dread and malfeasance.

Harmony

 

In no order,

in no political, social, physical, biological, planetary or cosmic organism,

no part can be more decisive than the whole,

without the imbalance disrupting and destroying it.

 

Since no part of it can be more decisive than the whole,

no man, no coalition, no country, no nation, no private interests or interest groups

can be greater than the general good and the universal rights of mankind

without endangering humanity.

 

Something that no one has ever experienced,

the union of the world could have effects as unexpected and surprising as beneficial.

 

Indeed,

through the union of all nations and human beings on a planetary level,

the balance of power and conflict of interest would be transcended.

 

When the notion of the enemy loses its anxiety-provoking power,

its immeasurably harmful influences on the world

– on peoples, on nations, on men, on women and on children,

on their psyche, their actions and interactions –

vanish as well.

 

Conflicts diminish as resentments wear off,

as the sources of division fade away…

 

No longer contradicting each other

the notions of common good and private interest

would then be profoundly reshaped.

 

Reconciled by the discovery of the new power of the oneness of the world,

democratic weapon par excellence,

by the very virtue of the oneness of the Earth,

of the power of that which is real, human, diverse and universal,

men and women and children of all the peoples of the Earth

must acknowledge their invincibility

in order to act on rulers

and, in an unyielding will to unite so that they may continue to live,

force them to make

wise, humanistic, democratic and universal decisions.

 

Only the awakening of people’s consciences all over the world

can reverse the balance of power and lead to political, social, legal and economic actions

which, despite all the possible errors inherent in the human condition,

have thus the power to be more and more meaningful, fruitful and successful.

 

This must be said and repeated,

the uprising of consciences around the world

is a call to life, courage, freedom, dignity.

 

Because in this globalized world,

violating the rights of a people sooner or later means violating the rights of all peoples,

Humanity,

one and multiple, diverse and indivisible,

must comprehend

that solidarity is the very and only best way

for all peoples, all nations, all men, women and children

to be happy and prosperous on the entire planet.

 

Humanity,

one and multiple, diverse and indivisible,

must comprehend

that we have no choice but to follow the path of wisdom,

and that we can do it.

 

To convince you of that,

experiment at home if you feel you need to:

 

Be unfair and absolutely unequal with your loved ones and colleagues,

see enemies all around you, even if they do not exist,

and sow enmity and discord around wherever you go.

 

Or be wise and just with those around you,

Sow the seeds of understanding and cooperation, harmony and beauty,

and see what kind of world you create for yourself…

 

See the one you want to live in.

 

To see that we share a common destiny is to bring it to life,

participate in what is beyond us,

be a part of that which makes us better and greater.

 

Not to see it is to condemn it never to be, never to exist.

 

*

Harmony and Unity

 

Such is the One and Only Way,

Our One and Only Destiny

 

*

An invincible humanity.

 

They will use every means to convince you that this is a utopia.

 

It’s so much more than a utopia.

This is an absolute necessity.

 

No matter what they tell you,

how to believe them when they keep on saying over and over again

that cooperation and harmony, wisdom and unity

are not a source of wealth and success,

a spring of life and humanity.

 

It is obvious today

that the world is heading for its doom and humans for their graves.

 

The birth and emergence of universal consciousness

is the precondition for any genuine form of democracy,

 

We, the people of the world,

vested with the powerful and sovereign legitimacy of our union

in favor of the survival of our own race

can reverse the balance of power, take action, decide on laws,

and reverse the course of History itself.

 

It’s the only chance

we, humans, can get.

 

Everyone is called upon to participate.

 

The awakening of consciences is humanity’s second birth.

 

The awakening of consciences

is Humanity’s Renaissance.

 

*

Competition and poverty

Solidarity and prosperity

 

No woman, no man,

evolving in a balanced and humane relational environment,

interacts with family or friends

by naturally, spontaneously obeying the law of the strongest.

 

No healthy and balanced human being

naturally seeks to dominate, to oppress.

 

Quite the contrary,

people, families, villages, towns, cities, regions get and stand together.

 

Members of the same nation or continent are federalizing.

(even though in the context of the current global economic war,

their attempts sometimes fail.)

 

These facts are self-evident.

 

In these modern times

when this movement of solidarity between human beings

seems to be jamming up,

the question is not so much whether solidarity union on a planetary scale is possible or not,

the question is whether we will do it soon enough.

 

E=mc².

The value given to Energy by Einstein is exponential:

The greater the energy, the greater the increase.

 

In the same way that we are rushing ever faster towards our own downfall,

if we could, if we ever could, initiate progress between humans, between nations,

we would quickly realize that not only is it in our power to create a fairer world,

but also that this revolution could feed on itself and be self-sustaining

in an as rapid and efficient a manner

as it will be synergistic and exponential.

 

As in a cyclone, a tornado, a star or a black hole,

energy feeds on itself, self-reproduces and self-reinforces

sometimes to unendurable extremes.

 

All it takes is a fresh impetus

to give life to a movement of understanding between human beings

to create a new systemic virtuous circle.

 

That impulse,

only the mobilization of a world aware of what to expect,

of a humanity facing its destiny, united for its own survival

can aspire to inspire it

and make way to make the one and only possible way,

our one and only destiny:

 

Worldwide Harmonization.

 

The union of all peoples,

in the interest of all the nations of the world

needs no explaining.

 

Everyone wins.

 

Confronted with his most terrible and wonderful choice at the same time,

– continue to fight and die

or unite and survive -,

humankind is offered Life.

 

More than survive,

maybe humankind will finally get to live.

 

If negative dynamics exist,

positive loops also exist.

 

If on the one hand competition and poverty generate negative spirals,

undeniably,

wisdom and humanity can impulse and set fruitful and positive dynamics in motion,

all the more magnified as their synergetic power is universal.

 

Earth offers us the choice to smile at life,

the choice to believe in the future,

to believe in the positive impacts on everyday life

of the union in solidarity of all the peoples and nations of the world,

the choice to believe that this union is possible,

that it is all the more so as we are now benefitting

from technology, means of communication and, above all, knowledge

that can help us achieve it without too many clashes

but with immense efficiency, unimaginable efficacy.

 

Since not only ecological and climatic, but also economic and political dangers are worldwide,

these extraordinary challenges are common to all humanity.

 

Therefore,

it all boils down to one simple choice:

 

Competition or solidarity;

Nationalism, racism and discrimination;

or humanism, Earth, the universal;

 

To strive for the happiness of all

and be as happy as any human being can be on this Earth,

or not try to stop fighting each other, not to stop spreading suffering

and condemn ourselves to perpetual unhappiness and ruin,

condemn ourselves to destructive, suicidal behavior

with irreversible, dire consequences.

 

An apocalypse is coming.

 

The earth does not have any great theories

which are not accessible to the common person.

 

It offers only light,

clear, simple and unequivocal evidence.

 

This choice leaves no one unconcerned.

This choice leaves no one alone,

no one behind.

 

What the Earth gives us to see is grace,

which we all share,

free and accessible to all, simple, clear and universal,

all the more valuable, wonderful and luminous

as humans interact on a planetary scale.


This human power is a singularity, a historical exception

that will not necessarily last forever.

 

This is the Earth’s command:

Live or die

 

To be or not to be.

 

Each and every one of us has it written in flames

in our hearts and minds.

 

Live or die.

To be or not to be.

 

*

Life is a gift

not a sacrifice.

 

Contrary to what many would have us believe,

the choice of universal solidarity does not imply anything sacrificial,

quite the reverse.

 

Judge for yourselves:

 

Because we are destroying our environment,

because we are destroying each other,

then Earth retroacts

to all our self-destructive senseless, hopeless excessive insanity,

only to hasten our downfall with even greater inevitability.

 

Ultra-capitalism, ultra-materialism, ultra-consumerism,

this money system is driving us to the edge at 200 miles per hour.

 

Radical reform of the current ultra-capitalist system

won’t send us back to the stone age,

quite the reverse.

 

When the conditions for healthy innovation,

for the freedom to live and to create are right,

instead of being muzzled and paralysed by the money-debt system

monopolized by the banks and handicapped by gigantic inequalities,

entrepreneurial creativity can thrive.

 

Living conditions for ordinary people

would be all the better

as humans never give up their techno-scientific advances:

 

Since the discovery of the wheel, we have never given up on the wheel.

Since the discovery of writing, we have never given up writing.

Since the discovery of electricity, we have never given up electricity.

 

If we changed the system,

progress, science, knowledge and technology would not disappear,

as if by magic.

 

And if they did,

then it would take a truly apocalyptic cataclysm to eradicate knowledge,

which, unfortunately, could very well be our destiny,

if we were to continue along the path set out by our leaders,

so quick to condemn any form of alternative to their system.

 

Therefore,

it’s by continuing on the path they’ve set for us,

that the few representatives of the human race, lucky enough to survive,

would have to go back to some kind of Stone Age.

Not the reverse.

 

We lose nothing by changing.

We lose nothing by getting better.

 

Universal is the one and only path of progress and evolution.

 

Only when humanity is born again

will Humanity’s destiny be fulfilled.

 

Or humans will all go extinct.

 

*

Earth is one.

 

Everything it carries and gives birth to

is inextricably interlinked with her.

 

We have the choice to open our eyes to the unspeakable beauty

of this great wholeness that is the Earth and live,

in harmony with ourselves and our universe,

or deny our immense good fortune,

remain blind and deaf to her calls for wisdom, solidarity and dignity,

and die.

 

It doesn’t take much to spread that knowledge,

this recognition of the obvious:

 

The Earth is one.

 

If beyond the borders of every country in the world

there might be multiple enemies,

beyond Earth, humanity has no enemies to fear,

to intimidate, to fight or to defeat.

 

Imagining the positive consequences of a world in harmony

is a revolutionary vision.

 

The best guarantee of my personal well-being and the well-being of my loved ones

is the well-being of all, and vice versa.

 

Seeing and embodying, sharing earthly, humanistic and universal wisdom,

is indispensable for the building of a new, ‘transfigured’ world.

 

More than a vision,

it is a mission.

 

And since it is a vision,

then this mission is as revolutionary as it is spiritual.

 

Since it is spiritual,

it is necessarily oriented towards peace and harmony

between nations, peoples and beings.

 

To think that

is to already engage in resistance.

 

It is to unite, to unite one’s spirit with the spirit of all those

who live and have lived for justice and harmony among beings,

among all beings, all nations, all peoples.

 

It is already resistance

to the reign of brute force, of violence, of the thirst for power, of the drive for power.

 

The transformation of humanity

can only take place first and foremost in the people’ s minds.

 

Vision always precedes action.

 

In this sense, seeing is an act of active regeneration.

To think that way is to be part of humanity.

 

And if your thinking or your vision of the Earth and humanity

is unique, singular, as such subjective,

as long as the universal brings out the brightest from it,

the most true, effective and wholesome, the most beautiful and the most valuable

it is a reciprocal offering from you to the world and from the world to you.

 

In the name of the earth and humanity,

in the name of all that is, all that ever was and all that ever will be or will not be,

it’s a right, it’s a mission, it’s a duty:

 

Resist,

lift your soul to Earth,

to Life and the Universal,

and rise up

to save the world and humanity!

The flow of history

 

Originally united in tribes and families,

and then uniting into larger and larger communities,

in regions and in countries or states,

today despite sometimes the contingencies of a very imperfect system,

humankind is gathering across entire continents.

 

Whether or not you subscribe to it,

globalization is a fact.

 

Unless the foretold Apocalypse

sweeps everything away,

or stops every ship, every plane,

every means of communication

and thus returns us to the Stone Age,

we’re not going to double back.

 

Undeniably,

if history has any sense,

it’s this:

 

Humanity is destined to unite.

 

Here is what Mr. Yuval Noah Hariri says in his wonderful book,

“Sapiens, a Brief History of Humankind” *:

 

“Perceiving the direction of history is really a question of vantage point.

When we adopt the proverbial bird’s-eye view of history,

which examines developments in terms of decades or centuries,

it’s hard to say whether history moves in the direction of unity or of diversity.

However, to understand long-term processes the bird’s-eye view is too myopic.

We would do better to adopt instead the viewpoint of a cosmic spy satellite,

which scans millennia rather than centuries.

From such a vantage point it becomes crystal clear

that history is moving relentlessly towards unity.

The sectioning of Christianity and the collapse of the Mongol empire

are just speed bumps on history’s highway.”

 

Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (Harvill Secker, 2014)

Chapter 9, The Arrow of History, The Spy Satellite p.185

 

And so are the ‘Brexit’ and the possible implosion of the European Union.

 

It is true that a process of withdrawal into oneself,

into one’s ‘identity’, is at work in the world today,

and in a much more sensitive way since the financial crisis of 2007-08.

 

In the face of a lack of real sovereignty,

in the face of competitive abuses between states, tax havens,

the materialistic standardization and consumerist acculturation

of national, regional and local societies,

who could be surprised?

 

Indeed,

this unbridled financial globalization

is the source of this withdrawal into one’s ‘identity’.

 

First of all,

it is wild capitalism that is eco and humanicidal,

then the financial crisis,

the cause of which is intrinsically structural to the system,

then the inability of the powerful and governments to solve these structural problems

which are to blame for the perpetuation of alienating and destructive systemic drifts.

 

The truth is,

it has to be said,

not only is another world possible,

but another globalization is possible.

 

The truth is,

only this harmonization of the world

which we are calling for

can save us from ourselves

and give back to all peoples and nations

the sovereignty to which all aspire and which is naturally theirs by right.

 

It is amid division, corruption and competition

that peoples and nations are losing or risk losing their sovereignty

because then too many powers seek to dominate and enslave them,

whether these are domestic or foreign.

 

Conversely,

in a world of harmony,

the sovereignty not only of nations,

but also humanity are assured

and vice versa.

 

The sole guarantor of the sovereignty of nations

is a world in harmony.

 

It cannot be otherwise.

 

It is thanks of harmony

that humankind will finally be free.

 

When humankind is free,

then and only then will the peoples and nations be free.

 

*

The power of a united and solidarity-based world

can only be huge

because automatically,

even though they may never completely disappear,

the notions of competition and necessity will be largely contained.

 

*

The New Frontier:

Earth.

 

Unhappily,

in the most absurd and compulsive way, and with great ignorance,

the combined power of all the financial and economic forces

that today dominate the world

are working together (while waging war on each other!)

to convince us that the law of the strongest is beneficial to the greatest number,

to persuade us that universal competition

is what’s best for mankind,

that precariousness and the danger of poverty are factors of progress,

that greed is a value to be exalted and encouraged,

and that apart from profit and self-gratification, ignorance and mediocrity, even stupidity,

everything else can go to hell.

 

Private economic interests

have taken control of virtually every state in the world,

to establish a state of economic and financial lawlessness,

where the richest man rules

and the poorest has no rights, or so few.

 

Above all,

they’ve taken control of a world that by definition belongs to no one,

a world still to be built,

a world still to be realized,

a world that, not having yet achieved unity,

can achieve no harmony and fulfill no destiny.

 

The last territory on Earth to be discovered

is the Earth itself.

 

As under the most absolutist, arbitrary and cruel monarchies or dictatorships,

where people could not have imagined what freedom would bring them,

we can’t imagine all the fruits

which an Earth made nation or super nation

governed by the rule of law based on wisdom and justice

would be fertile of.

 

As the differences between the lives of a person living under a medieval feudal regime

and that of a contemporary democracy are immense, incomparable in fact,

the differences between today’s world and tomorrow’s world

will be at least just as gigantic, if not immeasurably and unimaginably so.

 

Sadly,

the world today has been invaded, and is occupied by the forces of money,

the oligarchy of the super-rich

who have all the power and leisure to destroy it,

while not taking any responsibility for anything at all,

preventing any resolution of the problems,

because they know that at the root of the problems

lies their illegitimacy to force us to play their shitty game, according to their shitty rules,

and lead us right into the wall without doing anything to change direction, quite the contrary,

simply because this destructive system serves them…

and they have no interest in changing anything.

 

Just like the slaveholders of centuries past

who had no interest in abolishing slavery

because they profited from it with wealth and privilege,

despite the cruel and inhuman injustice

of such a market in human beings.

 

The forces of money, the masters of the market have all the power,

the near-absolute power to harm and destroy everything,

laws, nations, nature, species,

women, men, children, animals,

the Earth, the oceans, the atmosphere, the living,

but absolutely no duty…

 

They carefully keep to the shadows and dilute their responsibilities,

which includes the naming of scapegoats,

opacifying the whole system to exploit it more and more

to the marrow, until there’s nothing left.

Nothing at all.

 

Their logic is both felonious and illegitimate

but they impose it on the whole world,

on everyone, on everything, on every being,

human, animal, vegetal,

everywhere, for everything and for as long as possible,

for all eternity if they could.

 

The world has been invaded by banks and multinational corporations,

by the rich and powerful, all the forces of money

as a testing ground for unbridled neoliberal capitalism,

a kind of global economic anarchy without rules and without laws

except that of the strongest, the wealthiest, the greediest,

everywhere, all the time and as much as possible.

 

The world is possessed by madness

because it’s controlled by people

that greed, the will to power and the law of money

has driven crazy.

 

Who could oppose bringing into line the market madmen

that lead us and condemn us to a very, very difficult future?

 

Carried away in their mad race

to an ever more exacerbated and delirious productivity and growth,

blinded in a context of ruthless and total competition,

with terrible economic, political, ecological and human consequences,

chained to their primitive social struggle,

engaged in an absurd, losing battle with the planet,

men and women are trying to compensate for the instability of the world

by riches that are too often illusory and ephemeral.

 

In fact,

the rich only have a heightened sense of urgency to concentrate enough wealth

so that they and their descendants may hope to find security and safety

from the worst things that can happen to them, the worst kind of disgrace:

ruin or poverty.

 

Thus,

they lose themselves in the illusion

that conflict, competition, chaos and universal warfare

could be of any use to them in the long term.

 

We understand the logic of the systemic trap,

socio-psycho behavioural prison

that affects us all to a greater or lesser extent.

 

All the economic and political forces in the world

Are leading a predominantly innocent humanity

ever more inexorably towards its downfall

by plundering, ruining, looting, polluting the world…

 

Thus,

to give birth to and implement a macro-monetary, economic model

based on sovereignty, wisdom, respect, balance, justice and law,

is to take up the systemic weapons

for freedom and the peoples of the world to prevail

over international finance, market fools and the tyrannical forces of money.

 

A new paradigm must be found

and this paradigm must be global.

 

Harmony must be global,

because today, it can only be global.

 

The task is immense but impossible not to accomplish.

 

And for at least two reasons:

 

The first is that if we don’t get on with it, we’re going to disappear,

the second is that it’ s too magnificent to resist.

 

Just like turning on the light

to allay a child’s fears,

who, before falling asleep,

is afraid of the ghost hiding under his or her bed in the dark,

we are not going to lie to you:

 

See

and the miracle has already happened.

 

*

Universal justice

 

Despite even cultural differences,

because humans are basically the same all over the world,

justice is necessarily universal.

 

Technically,

it is easy to be just and united;

it’s even easier to be prosperous by being fair and just

than by not being fair and just.

 

The solutions already exist.

It is the humanist will that we lack.

 

*

Salvation is universal.

 

Saving the world

necessarily implies harmonizing up key areas

indispensable to any nation

whose people would like to be sovereign and free

and whose Constitution is intended to guarantee the general interest

and not the interests of a minority:

 

Harmonization of economic and labor law;

Fiscal harmonization;

Social harmonization;

Environmental harmonization;

Monetary, banking and financial harmonization;

Political harmonization.

Sharing, Harmony, Well-being

 

If only humankind

could become wise and enlightened enough

to banish all excessive concentrations of power and wealth,

to stem poverty,

to regain the power to create money,

to harmonize up the world,

to encourage the sharing of useful knowledge and technology,

then everyone could achieve a certain level of well-being

with a minimum of comfort,

without excess but sufficient for the personal, social and spiritual development of all.

 

For if everyone ensured that the levels of well-being

in all other parts of the world were pretty much the same,

then everyone’s sense of well-being would increase tremendously.

 

Having nothing to envy me,

my neighbor,

if not insane,

shall not seek to deprive me of my wealth…

 

He and I will be fully aware

of the fact that the well-being of those around us,

and by extension humanity, is the best guarantor,

in the short and long term,

of our own well-being.

 

1. I would feel no pain or guilt in enjoying my own existence.

 

2. I would know that in an interconnected and open world, listening to itself,

a chance of conflict in the foreseeable future would be extremely slim.

 

3. Having learned sobriety in my consumption acts,

sharing resources would ensure that the well-being of others

remains more or less the same as mine.

 

4. My future would, as far as possible, be safe and secure

because global society has chosen to do everything in its power

to defend life and preserve the environment,

I would curb the worst effects of climate change and the destruction of life.

 

If instead of living in extreme inequality

where a small minority has billions of times more than they need

and the vast majority have considerably less than they need,

we chose to live in moderate prosperity

where everyone has what it takes to live decently,

then we wouldn’t have to worry about our fellow human beings or the future.

 

Don’t get me wrong,

whether or not you agree with this as a policy proposal

is not the point.

 

The point is this:

 

When the minority owns everything and the majority owns nothing,

is the world a safer place?

 

Are you safer?

 

Humanity must become aware of the beneficial force

that we could get her if we were to unite

for the sake of each and every one of us.

 

Anything is possible,

as long as human beings remain capable of exchanging on a global level.

 

As long as our civilization doesn’t totally collapse,

as long as we have the means to communicate freely,

there’s time.

 

*

Revival or Perdition?

 

How, in such a world of widespread injustice,

where suffering reigns, where evil and crime are legitimized and trivialized,

the minds and hearts of the people’ s children

cannot drift into madness,

dementia, suffering and violence?

 

At no level in this universe, quantum or cosmic,

there is no such thing as perfect, perpetual motionlessness.

 

Since nowhere in this world does neutrality exist,

we have to make a choice:

 

Either take part in the social systemic ‘perdition’,

and reinforce imbalances, inequalities and injustice,

sooner or later condemn those you love, condemn yourself to hell,

increase the chances of conflict

and intensify the movement of the systemic self-destructive vicious circle;

 

Or, conversely,

 act with justice, courage, dignity, humanism, creativity,

reveal the most unjust and counterproductive absurdity of this unworthy system,

with all our might,

instill a noble, wise and positive impulse,

give yourself over to those you love,

give yourself over to what you really love to do,

be what you are, touch beauty, share a little piece of heaven on Earth,

humbly set the great wheel of human destiny turning

in the right direction.

 

Although as soon as it imposes itself on our mind,

we already have no choice but to be wise,

we have no idea what an opportunity and a luxury that choice is

while we still can.

 

*

Changing the world is inevitable.

 

We are often told that the world needs to change.

 

But how could the world change

when the world does not exist as such in the consciousness of mankind?

Not enough anyway.

 

In that sense, the world is not yet created.

Or rather, it has not yet been created.

 

Because action proceeds from the will and the will proceeds from consciousness,

then all it would take would be

for a majority of individuals to just lay their eyes on the world

to understand that on one Earth, humankind is one,

 and finally change the world.

 

Because the interdependence of everything on Earth is so obvious,

it’s only by thinking globally and acting on our own scale

with the focal point of the multidimensional uniqueness of reality on Earth

and for the purpose of unity in solidarity of all the peoples of the Earth

that the notion of competition between nations and the division of the world

can come to an end.

 

For humanity as a species,

there is no other salvation.

 

There’s only one way to go,

the way of Earth.

 

If we listen to her,

if we open up to her

and pay a little attention to the many signs she’s offering us,

then perhaps we shall be able to learn from the consequences of our collective follies,

to draw lessons from it wisely and responsibly;

then we shall finally be able to act with respect for all that is,

everything around us, the Earth, living things, including ourselves,

then we shall be able to reach a new level in the history of humankind,

then maybe we shall be able to achieve harmony with our environment, with ourselves.

 

It’s obvious and it’s our only chance.

 

No amount of action is going to be enough to change the situation and avert disaster

if we do not work for the union of the world and of the peoples.

 

The good news is that it is possible.

In fact, in the long run, it’s the only possible thing…

 

So let us rejoice,

rejoice,

the happiness of the human race is not only possible on Earth…

 

…Eventually,

it is simply inevitable.

 

If in a real effort to manage money and resources,

if in a real effort of justice and solidarity,

all peoples, all nations joined together,

then eventually there would be no more enemies or major competitors,

eventually, there would be no more misery or major necessity.

 

This would be an automatic consequence

because the movement would be universal.

 

As Muhammud Yunus said,

inventor of micro-credit and banking for the poor,

it is not utopian to think that poverty and misery could one day be shown in museums

to be revealed to future generations in all their truths, in all their sorrows,

as errors, horrors, self-centered and childish, senseless and futile,

absurd and terrible, immature and useless, never to be committed again,

as traps undoubtedly linked to the youthfulness of an ethnocentric and divided humanity

into which future generations should never again have to fall so far down.

 

Today,

no nation or even federation of nations, no geopolitical entity

can neither establish real and effective solidarity on its own territory,

or even restore a healthy and somewhat fair economy,

simply because they’re in competition with the rest of the world.

 

Because the world is subjected to the laws of the market, of power and money,

no government can achieve the primary objective for which it exists,

to which it owes its raison d’être:

 

To guide the people

towards as much happiness, harmony, non-poverty, better living, better well-being as possible.

 

Tyranny feeds on the increasingly vital need to earn a living, to make money

to enslave us, to reduce us to a constant form of financial slavery

and dominate us.

 

Unfortunately,

tyranny clings to its privileges, the delusions of grandeur and power

all the stronger

because they know their system is inherently unstable

and prone to cycles of booms and busts, swells and collapses,

they know they’re illegitimate and afraid of losing everything

and even of paying for all the injustices committed

by sowing competition and division, discord, hatred, misunderstanding, intolerance,

doubt, ignorance, madness, suffering, barbarism, death, war and violence.

 

Divide and conquer,

rule to dominate

is tantamount to abdicating the duty

to watch over the destiny of the nation.

 

The money/debt/poverty/slavery/injustice group on one side

and economic competition/(im)balance of power/tyranny on the other

are inseparable and reinforce each other.

 

It is therefore illusory to think

that we could ever get rid of either one of those two groups

without getting rid of the other

or that we could even lessen the perverse effects of one

without doing the same for the other.

 

The two systems are constantly interacting

and create a snowball effect:

 

The more widespread poverty gets,

the more predatory the system gets,

the more tyranny is reinforced and amplified.

 

Fortunately,

the effect can also be reversed:

 

By reducing poverty,

then we will reduce the systematic predatory mentality.

 

By reducing the predatory mentality,

we will propagate and strengthen the will to do good,

then we will create a synergistic social movement

that will strengthen itself.

 

This cannot be accomplished

without nations taking back the power to create money

from the hands of the private banks.

 

The deep crisis in the global economy clearly shows us the following:

 

It is the capitalist and financial world that dictates its law,

the law of the strongest!

and no people in any part of the world can do anything about it.

All of us must submit!

 

Yet this world has no law…

The existing ones are too technical, and rarely applied.

 

For or against everything that is said here,

let’s face it:

 

Globalization exists,

and except for the strongest, the most brutal, the greediest, the most predatory,

it knows neither law nor faith.

 

Do you want the world to be

a universal, absolute, total, global state of authoritarian and destructive lawlessness ?

 

The verdict is final.

 

To put an end to a system,

we have to offer an alternative.

 

Neither as a person, nor as a company, association or country

can we end the wild competition and systemic poverty.

 

And yet we already know which laws and measures are needed

to turn the great ship around.

 

They must be part of a new global governance

by virtue of the spirit, the very foundation of democracy:

 

The universal right of peoples to self-determination.

 

The whole world’s peoples shall unite once they have understood

that it is when they are united that they shall be free.

 

In that sense,

globalization may also prove to be an opportunity without precedent

in the history of humanity.

 

Of course,

I can already hear voices going wild,

too keen to become indignant when their personal interests are threatened

to profess that if one were to respect humans, peoples and the living

then it would be an inevitable return to the stone age,

and – perhaps even worse according to them -,

that could mean replacing the tyranny of money with the tyranny of life.

 

Let us not be mistaken,

doing nothing shall alter our lives drastically,

I’m afraid, in a very pleasant way for no one.

 

And when those who oppose change, the environment or productive sobriety

repeat over and over again that not to continue on the road

to the dead end, the wall, the precipice,

– feel free to choose your own metaphor -,

would be like returning to the stone age,

rest assured that this is a very gross absurdity,

if not a complete lie motivated by the loss of privileges

of whoever’s uttering it.

 

For it is the one percenters’ lifestyle that would change the most.

Their wealth and privileges would probably diminish,

although I wouldn’t be worried about them at all.

 

For the 99%,

the change will only be positive.

 

Do you think we’ll have no more computers, no more work, no more cultures,

no more loves, no more passions, recreation, movies, food, electricity, trains, cars,

if humankind were to choose to be united and generous

instead of being unequal, greedy, predatory and destructive?

 

Nature offers us its resources

with all the more generosity and abundance as they are constantly being renewed.

 

It goes without saying that human beings are free to use them and to take them for their own sustenance.

 

As Gandhi said:

“The world has enough for everyone’s need,

but not enough for everyone’s greed.”

 

Destructive rapaciousness takes over

when we harm natural resources

to the point where they can no longer renew themselves,

which by definition includes the destruction of unique and vital ecosystems, and the extinction of species

for things that are not only often disposable and with programmed obsolescence

but also useless and of poor quality

with which to feed a financial-economic machine whose materialistic appetite is endless

and has thus lost all sense of objective reality.

 

Life is not the enemy of humanity.

Without the biosphere and life,

no life on Earth.

 

Doesn’t it seem clear that ultra-capitalism is the enemy of life?

 

The environment and all living things are life,

and human beings are alive, it’s extremely simple.

 

*

Respect for Life

 

If there’s one and only one law that needs to be enforced in the world,

such is this law:

 

No one is above life and the living.

 

The Earth dictates few laws as global and universal as this one:

 

Everywhere and in all things, life must be respected,

at all times and all over the Earth…

 

Because we’re alive,

Life is us.

 

This universal and sacred Law

must be the soul, the pillar and the keystone of the new global union,

set in stone in the Constitution of the World, Ethnic Groups and Nations.

 

*

Union,

a divine law

 

We are stronger together.

 

A united humanity is necessarily a powerful humanity.

 

Tending towards union is necessarily tending towards better living and harmony.

 

Tending towards union and harmony

is striving towards a fertile destiny,

full of beautiful coincidences and happy surprises;

it’s giving birth to hope

and fair, rational and virtuous consequences and positive dynamics.

 

Tending towards union and harmony,

is striving for the invincibility of humanity.

 

Inasmuch as union is necessarily universal,

the Union is the ultimate goal of all prophets and all religions,

of all utopias, of all popular and democratic ideologies.

 

Without any real union,

there can be no hope, no knowledge, no vision, no genuine deep feeling.

 

Without anybody else,

I’m nothing.

 

Indeed,

how much of what I am, how much of what you are

comes from all the beings that have come before us?

 

Every word that comes out of my mouth,

all the things I use every day,

all the beliefs that I embrace,

every thought that moves through my mind,

how much of that comes from myself and only myself?

 

To what extent do they proceed from all human beings

who have walked this earth before me?

 

The oxygen you’re breathing right now,

how many human lungs did it penetrate?

 

The water you’re drinking,

the one that makes up more than 60% of your body,

how many bodies has it sustained?

 

Unity is the soul of humankind.

 

It is the essence of life and humanity,

it is the way and the destination,

the end and the means.

 

The feeling of who I am, who you are, who we are

is all the closer to well-being, to the eternal, the absolute, to satisfaction, serenity and harmony

as humanism and justice lie at the heart of humanity, at the heart of human beings.

 

In this respect,

is humanity’s spirit different, dissociable from a divine spirit,

whether there is a God or not?

 

Communion with God, or the Divine,

is it not a symbol and/or teaching, reminder or commemoration

through prayer or invocation,

a ritualized and solemn call to universal solidarity?

 

Reaching for the happiness of as many people as possible,

of oneself as well as everybody else

necessarily means striving for greater happiness and a better future.

 

In these chaotic times of repeated crises,

universal union is increasingly emerging

as the efficient, accessible and realistic solution

that we so badly need.

 

Harmony, fulfillment, greatness

are impossible in disunity, in division, in conflict, in bedlam.

 

We shall only be powerful and serene when humanity is unified,

whenever our greatest nation becomes first and foremost

the Earth.

 

A unified Earth will not only strengthen the ties between peoples,

of beings with and among themselves,

it will also strengthen the bond and legitimacy of a people or a nation,

all the more proud and solid as it works with wisdom and relevance

not only for itself, but also for all nations and peoples

all over the world.

 

The often blind fanatical and conditioned nationalist sense

of belonging and self-identifying to a nation

is forged from the need we all share to feel part of the group.

 

What group or entity could, on our cosmic scale,

to be more powerful than a united humanity?

 

Because we are all alike,

because fundamentally, everything connects us, everything unites us,

we can transcend borders and differences,

and be stronger than ever.

 

If in division and in competition, we can still achieve prowess,

technological or whatever,

then what could it be like in a context of justice and harmony

through cooperation and the liberation of all human potential?

 

Seeking universal harmony.

This is what all prophets and messiahs profess and reveal.

It is an absolute certainty.

 

In the awareness that the quality of my existence

is linked first and foremost to the quality of life of every other being on Earth,

in a will for democratic justice, wisdom, intelligence and harmony,

to make this collective vision,

this shared dream, this indispensable utopia come true

is both necessary and possible.

 

We all have a role to play,

a mission to accomplish.

 

However humble,

it will be useful and beautiful, like the legend of the hummingbird.

 

The more we united get,

the stronger, the more prepared and serene we will be for the future.

 

Achieve union,

and everything will become possible.

 

Realize that our egocentricity, our conflicts and our antagonisms

are illusions, distorted and irrational versions of reality

to the point of radically transforming it,

we have no idea,

and we shall realize that we are similar to the child in the dark

who’s afraid of the ghost hiding under his bed.

 

Realize that our fears and our demons are illusions,

illusions that turn reality into a nightmare

by giving substance to the enemy and division.

 

If we can shape the outside world to the image of what we are inside,

even if what we see is an illusion

then we can shape the world the way we want it to be.

It’s a no-brainer.

 

Because before any action,

there’s a vision,

you just have to see it and want it.

 

If you want it, if we want it,

we have the power.

 

The truth is,

if we wish to live,

this is our one and only power.

 

Anything that does not tend to unite tends to divide,

anything that tends to divide tends to war,

suffering, anger, frustration, and discontent.

 

Our quality of life is inseparable

from our fellow human beings’ quality of life

and of our environment.

 

In all this irrational, ruthless and greedy mess of a capitalist system

that is dying in agony,

that’s some damn good news!

 

The vision of a unified Earth is naturally the universal vision.

 

It is a supreme, even divine vision,

so easy to understand.

 

There is nothing more comparable

to the divine dimension than the universal dimension.

 

What transcends unites and what unites transcends.

 

Thus,

the Divine is part of the vision of the Universal Union.

 

Whether God exists or not,

if we admit that the divinity is the world,

and if we’re all and everyone living in the world

then we all share something divine.

 

Since only you can see it or glimpse it,

only you can see it your way.

 

If God is the world

in its totality and in its diversity, in its multitude and in its singularity,

and if you can see the world

then the divine is as much in us as it is outside of us,

in others and in ourselves.

 

Wherever you are, wherever we are,

we all have a mission that is tailor-made, humble and magnificent at the same time,

in the fulfillment of the universal.

 

You just have to see.

 

To see that the first and ultimate message

of all progress, of all struggles, of all wisdom and of all religions,

is the Union.

 

The universal, pacifist, democratic and solidarist union.

 

Union with humanity, union with the world.

 

Everything else is manipulation, demagogy, the drive for power and domination.

 

Justice is as much a daughter of union as union is a daughter of justice.

 

The Union is ‘sacred’.

 

The planetary, democratic and solidaristic union

is the best, the only solution.

To break free from destructive materialistic dependency

 

One way or another,

even though some still deny it

and thus proclaim their ignorance loud and clear,

it all comes down to reducing the impacts of our activities and needs on the biosphere.

 

The accumulation of goods and wealth,

money, self-glorification, easy and disposable pleasures

are the paradigms of today’s model of happiness and success

which must therefore imperatively be questioned,

and de-institutionalized.

 

Exaggerated egocentrism and rampant consumerism

must stop being favored by the system and its dominant ideology:

growth, whatever the product, harmful or not, whatever the price,

is the true dystopia.

 

For the greed of the system knows no bounds.

 

The fear of ruin and the desire to be even richer

in an unstable and uncertain world has no limits.

 

In a monetaro-financial-economic system

whose mechanisms are misunderstood by the majority and biased by the minority,

the race for profit has no limits.

 

And yet,

human beings

are entrusted with this gift of rapture, of ecstatic enjoyment

enhanced by the gift of consciousness.

 

To enjoy all things is a gift

which can only be appreciated with the depth and hindsight

of consciousness, sensibility and sensitivity.

 

Life itself is a miracle.

How many remember it?

 

Joy, pleasure and happiness,

like all the other wonders of consciousness

such as knowledge and science, exploration, technology, creation,

feeling, compassion, consciousness itself, love, the other, experience, emotion

are a magical, beautiful and sometimes terrible gift of life

that we have to get to know and tame

with sensitivity, courage, humanity, inspiration, daring, humility, wisdom, greatness and intelligence

in order to be as in harmony with ourselves and the world as possible.

 

There can be neither joy nor greatness nor enjoyment

without humility, without wisdom, without awareness.

 

Thus,

when wisdom, awareness and sensitivity are lacking,

then you are forever unsatisfied and nothing can fill you up,

not even consumerism or the most unbridled and uninhibited orgy of easy pleasures

because an essential, even primordial part of who you are

is neglected:

 

a conscious human being,

gifted with the power to feel, see and know.

 

It’s like trying to fill up the fuel tank of your car

by putting gasoline in the oil tank.

 

You can put some until it gets all over your engine,

spills over and contaminates your entire vehicle and even the floor,

never will you be able to run your car

by putting gas in the wrong compartment.

 

Thus,

and even though nothing and no dimension should be neglected,

we keep trying to fill the ‘have’ tank.

whereas to operate in a way that ensures the best way to operate

as a person and a species,

we should fill up the ‘be’ tank.

 

A new balance must be found between the materialistic needs inherent to human beings

and spiritual, emotional, aesthetic, artistic and humanistic aspirations.

 

A new balance must be found

between self-centered, selfish, closed and neurotic aspects

and the creative, altruistic, contemplative, open and healthy dimensions of the human being.

 

Only in this way will we be able to reduce our superficial materialistic needs

and thus save the environment, the planet and humanity.

 

Ultimately,

at an individual and species level,

everything lies in that balance.

 

This isn’t even about saving someone else,

it is all about saving ourselves!

 

” Each one of us embodies the singularity of the human condition “,

Montaigne.

 

We are all concerned.

 

We have no choice.

 

If we do not succeed in signing the truce

of economic hostilities on a global level

there will soon be no hope left.

 

By taking back the power of money creation from the private banks

we will be able to neutralize the problem of debt and financial crises

as well as reallocating to priority areas such as green and real estate conversion,

democracy and the human.

 

We will see that by regaining the power to create money,

we will be able to harness market forces

and reinvest in people, life and democracy.

 

Thus, and only thus,

can we reduce our ecological debt:

 

By reducing inequality, we shall reduce poverty,

by reducing poverty, we shall reduce precariousness and fear,

by reducing the fear of poverty, we shall reduce our need to consume,

to accumulate and therefore pollute.

 

We shall reduce our so-called superficial and needs,

too often useless or even worse,

since they are harmful and destructive,

damaging to both our physical and mental health,

even to the point of jeopardizing not only the social order,

but the very survival of the species.

 

No matter how sophisticated, no matter how complicated the counter-arguments,

by reducing our artificial needs, we shall reduce need.

We shall reduce the need to sell at all costs.

We shall reduce the exploitation of man by man.

We shall reduce the domination of man over man.

 

Only then will we be able to put an end to necessity, dependency and poverty,

a sense of poverty increased by the phenomenon of dependency

which often, too often, pitifully results in the following:

 

We can be rich, super-rich and feel poor.

 

That’s by the way, one of the reasons,

if not the reason why the rich are so keenly engaged in endless competition

as to who looks richer.

 

Finding the balance between wealth and sharing, between the spiritual and the material,

between individualism and altruism, between freedom and solidarity,

is our challenge, our tipping point.

 

To find that mid-way point

is to close the loop,

to trigger a positive dynamic, a virtuous circle.

 

There’s nothing sacrificial about it.

 

It’s simple, it’s compelling,

and it’s up to each and every one of us to want it.

 

The only state of grace is one of global solidarity.

 

It resides in the reappropriation of the power of monetary creation by sovereign peoples

and the harmonization of the world.

 

A majority of scientists, researchers and experts have been telling us over and over again:

It’s possible!

 

We have the knowledge,

technical and technological mastery

and still sufficient land resources

so that the 9 billion people on our planet by 2050

live in decency and trust, in dignity, sobriety and consciousness,

in harmony, fulfilment and why not grace…

 

A global democratic system of governance

based on harmony, wisdom, justice, solidarity and sharing

all over the world can pull off this feat of strength.

 

Our production, communication and international exchange capacities

far surpass

what justice and humanity would demand

to meet the basic needs of every human being on this planet.

 

Not only could we greatly reduce

greenhouse gas emissions from transport,

but, fast and on a vast scale, in some 10, 20 years at the most,

we could stem, if not eradicate poverty and necessity on planet Earth.

 

At all levels, in all spheres,

personal and collective, local, global, psychological, intimate, relational, affective,

political, monetary, economic, commercial, legal, social,

municipal, regional, national, international,

we must all regain faith in a better world, faith in ourselves,

and to work on its behalf.

 

Only a strong enough symbol can make us aware that another future is possible…

thereby making the possible probable, realistic, achievable

and probably even then inexorable:

 

A worldwide mobilization for a new world.

 

A global mobilization for a new humanity

who has finally come to an awareness of itself.

 

*

Oneness and Diversity: Universal

 

Harmony and strength of the whole

makes harmony and strength of the parts possible,

and vice versa.

 

The sovereignty of peoples and individuals can only achieve a real equilibrium

under the aegis of a universal power,

if possible global, guided by all of humanity.

 

The strength of a genuine sovereign regime

made by the people and for the people

comes from seeking to listen to and answer the diversity of the people’s voices

with sincerity and the greatest possible wisdom

by embodying them in the same spirit, authentically human,

not by erasing their differences but by making them meet

and finally transcending them through balance, concord and harmony

of the whole social body,

one and indivisible as they say,

and thus fulfill its higher mission:

to serve the interest of all.

 

We shall come back in the section dedicated to politics

what forms the regime must take in order to make this possible.

 

One truth cannot wait, though:

 

The more people experience progress, happiness and fulfillment,

the greater the chance of one person to experience progress, happiness and fulfilment.

 

And vice versa,

the fewer people experience progress, happiness and fulfilment,

the smaller the chances are for any one of us to experience progress, happiness and fulfilment.

 

This is what must guide governance.

That is what must guide us all.

 

No notion of real sovereignty is compatible

with the notion of excessive economic and political competition

between states, individuals and groups of individuals.

 

Whether economic, institutional or military,

it is indeed war that always, everywhere and at all times,

threatens the sovereignty of nations, peoples and humans.

 

In this era of globalization, information and hyper-modernization,

the sovereignty of the multitude will be born out of world unity.

 

By its very nature,

no one can be excluded.

 

No one seeing the miracle of a unified world

could be excluded from it.

 

See that beyond the Earth,

there’s no additional enemy.

 

See that the union of all the peoples of the world

heralds the victory of humankind over itself.

 

Essential precondition for any possible new and better era,

to imagine and see it

is already to have given birth to it

in the consciousness of humanity.

 

For humankind’s consciousness is mine

as much as my consciousness is humankind’s.

 

Though perfection may not be of this world,

utopia isn’t just a dream,

it is a necessity.

 

Today,

its pursuit is essential to the survival of humanity.

 

There is only one possible path:

it is planetary, universal, democratic, sovereign and supportive.

 

The truth is,

it is our last chance.

 

*

Is the Earth our Promised Land?

 

Whether in 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, 500 years from now,

I don’t know when what we’re modestly trying to describe here will happen,

but one thing’s for sure, if that doesn’t happen,

you won’t have long to read it.

 

Whether in 10 or 1,000 or 10,000 years,

this is the only way.

 

The way of humanity.

 

Better than the only possible way,

it’s the best possible way.

 

I’m begging you,

commit yourself to the path of humanity, of humanism,

of the tolerant, human, earthly, fundamentally, ‘miraculously’ benevolent will.

 

Who wouldn’t want to achieve a miracle?

 

No word, no injunction, no invitation,

is strong enough to tell you this:

it’s the only viable way.

 

Whether we choose her or not,

more than just our destiny,

she is our raison d’être, our purpose.

 

Humanity is called to be born,

or, I’m afraid, to die without ever having lived.

 

Every argument presented is a possible one,

probable enough to make all the others all the more likely.

 

We won’t take precautions,

the language will sometimes be felt as violent.

 

But know this,

dear friends,

that, like the sunlight,

the power of the universal is directed against no one;

it affects everyone, but it’s not aimed at anyone.

 

No one really sees anything the same way.

 

Its shape will reveal itself as it appears to you.

 

There’s no need for everyone to agree

but let our eyes open to its Spirit.

 

No one can deny that the underlying problem facing us

imposes itself as a wall or a way out.

 

All our biggest problems will be solved at once,

or we won’t get out of divisions, confusion, delusion,

war and destruction.

 

The threat of extinction brings to light

both our immaturity as a species and our raison d’être,

the meaning of our existence and the purpose of our powers.

 

It illuminates a meaning,

a meaning whose immense potential no one can measure or refute.

 

As soon as we are convinced that something is right,

our lives are transformed, instantly.

 

In spite of, by the very fact of all our human, too human contingencies,

going in the right direction

is already getting there.

 

For the destination is everywhere at once.

It’s in our heads and all around the globe.

 

Wherever we are, children, women and men,

being willing to go

is already being there.

 

The path is a liberation.

 

There is no promised land.

This is the Earth that is promised to us,

all of it.

 

The concern here is that:

 we all have to want to go together.

 

In order to do this, we all need to see

that the way is the Earth’s humble truth.

 

Both infinitesimal and universal,

the Earth is one and universal.

Earthians.

We are all children of the Earth.

 

Earthians.

 

Her children,

All of us.

Earth’s children.

 

*

** **

**   *   **

* * *

*

 

In the name of all the world’s children.

 

To all movements, to all organizations,

to all nations, to all religions,

to all normal people, to all of us

who want to live, live in peace and harmony,

 

To the whole world,

to the countryside and the cities

all over the world,

 

We are sending out a call

to stand up, to assert ourselves, to reveal ourselves,

all of us, at the same time.

 

Because despite all their fine promises,

the enormously wealthy oligarchies will never turn the great ship of humanity around

to avoid the icebergs that face us,

we call the 99%, we call you humans,

to finally take your destiny into your own hands!

 

Fundamentalist, dogmatic, financial, ecological, health, economic, climatic,

against all threats,

the only solution,

it’s the uprising, it’s the revelation of the 99%

all over the world at the same time.

 

Everywhere.

At the same time!

 

In every countryside,

in every city in the world.

 

You don’t have to be perfect

to wish to live and live in harmony.

 

Whatever our present and past lives may be or may have been,

we’re all invited.

 

Humanity

a positive humanity, a new humanity of light,

has to rise up

against barbarism, slavery, totalitarianism, misery, inequality and domination

against the nightmare and horror that’s coming.

 

The time has come.

 

The time of revelation has come.

The time of revolution has come.

 

The revolution is a metamorphosis,

the revolution is a revelation.

Revolution is a birth.

 

The rebirth of the human species

is a new stage in history and evolution.

 

There is now an urgent need

that a world of wisdom and justice

gets organized to regain power,

political power, economic power, monetary power.

 

Too much power, too much greed drives people crazy.

 

Either madness continues to reign,

or wisdom takes over.

 

Either we shall be lost.

Or we shall be saved.

 

Not to wish for harmony for oneself and the world

is to be crazy.

 

Isn’t it?

 

Maybe we’re all just a little too crazy?

 

But in no way,

we cannot let greed

drag us into the most appalling cataclysm ever imagined.

 

The time has come:

 

Humanity must come into the world.

Humanity must conquer its sovereignty.

 

In this era of neo-liberal globalization,

the most accomplished form of sovereignty on this Earth is universal.

 

The sovereignty of nations over themselves,

the sovereignty of humanity over itself

is the only way to bring wisdom, harmony and justice to Earth.

 

To aim for harmony, to restore balance,

is to be able to meet any challenge.

 

To cope with the fury of the elements,

whether they are climatic, ecological, economic or geopolitical

is everybody’s goal,

whether we know it or not.

 

To bring wisdom and harmony to the whole earth,

that is the only solution.

 

The repossession of power,

and in particular the power of money creation,

by the people and the world

is not a choice.

 

It has become, in this new era,

an absolute need.

 

Let’s get it on!

Let’s take back the power of money creation

and everything will be possible again.

 

We have to do it.

Humanity has no choice.

 

What choice is given to you then?

Apart from working for the money god?

 

We therefore invite all those who have a heart,

all earthians,

from every continent, from every nation,

of all classes, of all castes,

of all colours, of all parties, of all religions,

of all political parties, humanists, sovereignists,

all over the world,

to get in sync.

 

We invite all forces of light,

all over the world,

to mobilize against the plundering of the planet and of humanity’s most beautiful resources,

to stand up against the barbarism of all tyrannical and monstrous

financial, political, monetary, dogmatic or religious extremisms.

 

A fight is being waged nowadays, the ultimate fight,

the fight for this species’ life against its death.

 

Greed for money, greed for power and ignorance

lead us straight to the grave.

 

Even though much of what’s going on

in the brains of those who lost their way is unknown to them,

too much power or too much money

always renders pretentious and narcissistic.

 

Power and money drive both people and society blind and crazy.

 

Are we going crazy just for the fun of it?

Is that what you want? To go crazy?

 

Wisdom is the only cure for madness.

 

It’s not about revenge or punishment.

It’s about ringing the end of the game

by prescribing wisdom’s rules.

 

States, peoples, nations, all over the world,

kept under the control of banks and finance,

cannot free themselves from the power of banking and finance,

that corrupt them, that dry them out,

that corrupt the system, pollute the planet and rot humanity

before she was even born.

 

The banks must therefore give back to humankind

that which is its natural right,

for those who believe in a God,

what is humankind’s by divine right:

 

The power to create money.

 

Either the banks abdicate that power to humanity,

or there’s no hope left.

 

Take away the monopoly on money creation, usurped by the banks,

destroy the privileges of tax havens and tax evasion,

democratize money,

optimize space-time scales,

are simple solutions

which alone can give a new chance

to freedom, justice, wisdom and life.

 

If systemic insanity and injustice dictate their law

to the point of endangering the nation or the species,

even life on Earth,

then wisdom and justice are sacred duties.

 

We must agree on a date.

 

A date on which all humans, all humanists,

all the people who want harmony as a solution to chaos,

make themselves available.

 

To make yourself free for a day to set humanity free.

Is that so impossible to do?

 

For the common good of us all.

 

To make ourselves free for a day to set humanity free from the financial markets,

from the oil market, terrorism and the worst effects of climate change;

is it so impossible to achieve?

 

To those who are afraid or worried,

we won’t be alone.

You and I will never be alone again.

 

We will all be together.

 

United by what keeps us alive:

Life itself.

 

To those who may have been tempted

by the plundering of the world or terrorist radicalism,

we say it loud and clear:

 

Join us!

 

Join the cause of wisdom, justice and harmony.

 

The time of revolution has come.

The day of revelation has come.

 

What is harmony is good, what is chaos is evil.

It is very simple.

 

If God exists, God is harmony.

 

If God exists,

God cannot want chaos, insanity, evil or barbarism.

It is impossible.

 

Life is more mystical, profound, ecstatic and powerful than evil.

 

That which is wise is great and intense.

Evil is small, frustrating and ignorant.

 

That which is good knows evil

while evil knows nothing

and especially not wisdom.

 

Evil can know nothing

and especially not what’s good for its own sake.

 

Whenever you can,

choose the fairest, most harmonious and brightest way.

 

Above all, hearken to Earth’s calling,

and become, at your level, the echo of the world,

by participating in a major world event of historic proportions:

 

A peace movement of the 99% everywhere, everywhere in the world.

 

This day will change the face of the world.

 

At least it’s the only one that has the power to change the world.

 

There is no doubt about it.

It is an absolute certainty.

 

If only because the world is globalized,

only a movement of global resonance has the power to change the world.

 

Because they, the mega-fortunate globalized elites don’t want to hear anything,

despite the appeals to reason from the lessons of history,

pacifists and the peoples’ outcries,

we can’t expect things to change by themselves.

 

We’ve waited too long.

 

The solutions are there.

 

They are harmonious, simple and bright.

 

At best, we will change the world.

 

At worst, we’ll simply realize how powerful we are

if we, the peoples of the Earth, the 99%, men, women and children of good will,

we were synchronizing in order for light to prevail over gloom and thus avoid doom.

 

Why not agree on a date right now,

on the occasion of a major global event such as a World Climate Conference

or any other occasion?

 

No matter where they are or what they’re doing,

when all humans, all Earthians,

synchronize to take control of their destiny,

the ‘masters’ of this world will have no choice but to follow us.

 

If every man and every woman,

of all countries, of all nations, of all ages, of all occupations,

of every color, every culture, every religion,

who simply want to live

stood up and walked to unite and assert their right to continue living,

so in an instant,

everything would be possible again.

 

Whether God exists or not,

no God,

no consortium of well-established leaders

is not going to make a difference.

 

We have to save ourselves.

 

Humanity alone shall save itself.

 

Since you’ve been inspired enough to read so far,

so let me add, and throw to the winds of your soul

this last word:

 

Unity in peace, wisdom, insight and harmony

is not only our goal.

 

It’s also the only way to our common salvation.

 

*

To see or not to see

 

In order for a new dynamic to spread around the world,

it has to be envisioned, you and I have to be able to see it.

 

Whoever you are,

Whoever I am.

 

We can’t stop repeating it,

just see it, and the world will be conquered.

 

The Earth offers us a new dimension.

 

In spite of her pain and all that we inflict on her,

the Earth still offers herself to us and to life.

 

Think of her when you’re deep and meditative.

 

See her in her entirety, in her creative magic

and she shall guide you

somewhere better, so much better than where human history is likely to end,

in an unprecedented blood and tear bath.

 

If you make a decision with her,

just know that she’ll never make you choose the wrong side.

 

Perfection is certainly not of our world.

 

Yet the closer we come to it,

the more we become aware of its endlessness

and that in comparison, we are close to nothingness.

 

And yet, if endless,

it also means we are never going to stop growing

in a kind of cosmic matrix of perfection forever unattainable.

 

The most extreme greatness and humility

are required to touch this kind of grace,

of constant and rapid self-improvement.

The bigger we are, the more we discover how tiny we are.

 

The more humble we are,

the more we can see that what surrounds us is immense.

 

The more humble we are,

the more we can realize that greatness is that which we see,

that which we feel.

 

It is who we are and who she is at the same time,

She’s in us and out of us.

She’s us and everything at once.

 

Nothing divides us in this new dimension,

in this new stage in the evolution of the species.

 

May wisdom and generosity

be our choice of civilization,

and a real grace will be with us.

 

Or we shall all die together

in an orgy of barbarism, pain and blood, screaming and yelling.

 

For one brings forth the other.

 

Seeing is knowing.

Seeing is empowering.

 

For us to be able to see,

we all need to open our eyes together.

 

Any time will be right.

 

Let’s stand up, all of us,

Now!

 

In the name of ourselves,

in the name of all that created us.

 

What is legitimate is necessarily fair.

What is fair is necessarily legitimate.

 

If you believe in any Divinity,

in the name of God himself,

the human right to live,

humanity’s right to survive

is not a negotiable right.

 

It is an absolute right.

That is very clear.

 

It’s a matter that affects all of our lives,

The survival of our human species is at stake.

 

Right now.

 

No God, no Divinity is responsible for these nightmares

that we create for ourselves.

 

When humanity sinks into the nightmare of barbarism and all against all,

Humanity can only blame itself.

 

The time has come to take responsibility.

 

The point of no return must never be reached.

 

Humanity’s right to live

is an absolute right.

 

There is nothing more legitimate, in the eyes of the Human,

in our own eyes, in the eyes of all of us:

To be alive.

 

*

To live free is priceless

 

A sovereign people is a free people who makes its voice heard,

A free people is a sovereign people who can make and unmake laws.

 

This is an evidence of mathematical logic.

 

Because to be able to exercise its sovereignty, a people must be free,

because only a free people can make and unmake laws,

there is no democracy without freedom,

there is no justice without freedom.

 

Whether we know it or not, the freedom to be ourselves,

within the limits imposed by the same inspiration by all other human beings

is what we all want.

 

Because freedom is the condition for self-fulfillment,

freedom is perhaps the most priceless thing of all.

 

To be convinced of that,

it suffices to consider the evidence in reverse

by representing the quality and value of our lives.

if we were to be deprived of all freedom.

 

Because it is no longer time to choose

between wisdom or folly, between humanism or greed,

between freedom or servitude, between death or life,

because with climate change and all the cataclysms that go with it,

the time for action has come,

the union of peoples is not only our unique solution,

it is also wonderful news:

 

The Earth,

through the great ecological crisis is calling humanity

to be and to be free,

in short, to be born, and to live.

 

Because no one who can continue to own or exercise power

when those who serve them no longer wish to serve them,

because the owning oligarchy is now global

and that those who serve them is all of humanity,

then the power of planetary insurrection

is greater than the sum of all the powers of the owning tyrants.

 

This immense power therefore raises the following question:

 

Is it possible to make the oligarchy lose billions of dollars

without creating more poverty and misery?

 

Unfortunately,

they have so closely knit and shackled the world-system to the economic and monetary thing

to the point where, for their sole benefit,

money dominates everything and is the ultimate argument in any negotiation,

that they’ve managed to make us believe that if the economy collapsed,

there would be no hope left.

 

Whereas it’s exactly the opposite:

 

There will be hope again

only when we know how to bring an end to the dictatorship of money.

 

Not only can we survive bankruptcy

embedded within the contemporary ultra-capitalist system itself,

but we will also survive it in an even happier and more life-saving way

if we chose to be free of it as soon as possible and as quickly as possible.

 

We are not the only ones, neither the first nor the last to demonstrate

that since this monetary-financial system, which is now global, is man-made,

it can be unmade by men, with the all-inclusive and integral help of women, of course.

 

So, the answer is clearly yes.

 

How many billions of dollars will the rich capitalists lose

if all the people in the world who care for their children to live,

and for themselves to be able to go on living,

decided to go on strike for even two, three, four days?

 

Whereas in just a few days,

an anonymous person loses a few dollars or euros, a few hundred for the better off among us,

a financier or a CEO sometimes loses a few hundred thousand!

Imagine if a thousand of them lost some $50,000.

 

1 000 x 50 000 = 50 000 000

$50 million would be lost to the global economy.

 

Now, imagine if the movement were to be better adhered to

and 100,000 capitalists lost $50,000:

100 000 x 50 000 = 5 000 000 000.

Five billion…

 

What would happen if the movement was followed even further?

What would happen if these figures were well below economic and financial day to day realities

around the world?

 

Do you think it possible that they would not accede

to our demands for justice and international solidarity

if we had the power to bring down the system

while knowing what to replace it with?

 

Once we know what to replace it with,

does it really matter if the current system falls apart?

 

In any case,

because financial crises are embedded in the monetary and banking system,

if nothing is done, the world-system will collapse and it will be terrible

because it will be endured and we won’t be prepared.

 

The causes are multiple and interrelated,

convergent, inextricable from each other:

 

The imbalance in the distribution of wealth

associated with all the excesses of financial capitalism

which, having caused the 2008 earthquake,

continues to grow even more spectacularly all over the world.

 

The systemic poverty associated with this inherently unequal global system.

 

The debt problem inherent in financial imperialism

and money creation by private banks.

 

Political crises, crises of popular representation

and national sovereignty.

 

Wars.

 

The already tangible effects of climate change.

Pollution of all kinds.

The extinction of species.

The end of fossil fuels.

And so on, and so forth…

 

Today,

the only way to ensure that civilization doesn’t collapse

is to show those who pull the strings, those who rule us,

all the rich and powerful of this world,

that we have the power to bankrupt them

if they do not listen to the voice of all the peoples of the Earth:

the only voice of wisdom and justice.

 

Knowledge of the remedies for the system’s aberrations,

more than the aberrations themselves,

is the assurance of being able to control events, and the system itself.

 

In the age of globalization,

it is urgent that the great people of Earth become aware of itself.

 

A free and sovereign Humanity is a self-aware humanity.

 

It is time to act.

 

We do not need the financiers or their system to be prosperous,

quite the contrary.

 

The goal is to get rid of their evil powers.

 

Whether they are aware of it or not, whether we are aware of it or not,

whether they are responsible for it or not, it does not matter,

their power is destructive.

 

Because the law must serve the people,

the people must be able to make and unmake the law.

This is the foundation of a Sovereign Democracy.

 

No society is a Sovereign Democracy that does not respect this law.

To date, there is no real and sovereign democracy on Earth.

 

No matter what the situations or institutions,

those who govern do work for the common good

only when they are under the watchful gaze of the sovereign people.

 

They can say whatever they want.

The profiteers and the fearful may use every

deceitful, false, deceptive and narrow-minded argument as they will,

there will always be hope as long as there is knowledge.

 

Because knowledge is power.

 

In that sense,

knowledge is more powerful than weapons, more powerful than money.

 

Knowledge is wealth supreme.

 

For without knowledge,

nothing is possible.

 

Not even the wheel, not even fire, nothing.

 

When knowledge becomes wisdom,

the wealth of knowledge is unstoppable, invincible

and, in the sense that knowledge will only die with mankind,

it is also everlasting.

 

It is knowledge, wisdom,

that keeps us alive and sets us free.

 

People of Earth, wake up!

It’s time, it’s time.

 

The ecological and climatic crises are calls to the obvious.

We are all interdependent with each other.

This has never been more true and more imminent than now.

 

Inscribe justice, humanism, clemency and solidarity

in your birth certificate, in your universal constitution,

take back the power of money creation from private banks,

sanitize the economy, banish greed,

promote freedom of thought, action and expression

encourage mutual aid, cooperation, tolerance and generosity,

and everything becomes possible.

 

Even if we’ll be presenting it in a variety of ways,

even if we are going to talk about economics, money,

about meaning, philosophy, education, mysticism, science, and democracy

and sometimes even go into detail, to describe plagues and remedies,

there are hardly any other words to say it.

 

Everything has already been said.

 

Whether we hasten its fall or not,

financial capitalism shall collapse.

 

The loss of financial gain caused by a small strike,

even worldwide,

will be nothing compared to the price that will have to be paid

when the next stock market crash hits,

or when climate change reaches an apocalyptic climax.

 

Especially when the solution to a problem is known,

you can no longer decently call a problem a problem.

 

When you get a flat tire on the road,

the solution is clearly to change your wheel.

Everyone knows that.

 

Would you rather lose a few minutes, half an hour to change your wheel,

and show up late for your appointment but alive and kicking

or not apply the solution

so as not to waste a single minute

at the very real risk of never arriving at all?

 

Likewise,

when you drown, lost in the middle of the ocean,

won’t you take the hand that’s held out to you,

because you would fear that this one wants to hurt you

and shove your head underwater instead of getting out of danger?

 

What are the odds the outstretched hand is ill-intentioned?

What are your chances of survival if you don’t take it?

 

Universal wisdom is the hand that reaches out to us.

 

*

Fearless power

 

The people of the world

must become aware of the unlimited power of its unity

when it is comprehensive, fair and legitimate…

 

Legitimate because fair and comprehensive.

 

No one should be afraid of this power,

because only legitimate reason(s) will be able to mobilize

and unite all humanity…

 

*

Convergences

 

Many of our words are calls for mobilization

against injustice and unprecedented risks

that humankind is running at the moment.

 

However,

they are by no means calls for chaos, hatred and global civil war.

 

Our words are certainly sometimes vehement,

even vindictive and accusatory.

 

However,

we have written enough about forgiveness, mercy and redemption

so that these words can never be interpreted as calls for blood and hatred.

 

This needs to be crystal clear.

 

The convergence of struggles is a unification of wills.

 

It is the opposite of a call for widespread chaos.

 

Better,

it is the cure for generalized chaos.

 

Harmony is both the means and the end.

Harmony is both the goal and the path.

Harmony is both the destination and the journey.

 

*

Revolution from above,

Revolution from below,

Revolution from the middle.

 

Many actors of evolutionary change,

with admirable and superb words and deeds,

which I share both the analysis and the will to do better,

say that change will come from below,

in a bottom-up kind of revolution.

 

We cannot contradict that.

 

However, I am afraid that the systems of control and domination

by the monopoly of money creation, the power of money and technology,

competition between countries, between all peoples and nations,

are so destructive right now

that not only a change from the bottom or the top is required

but also a change from all angles and levels.

 

Or how much longer will it take?

30, 50, 100, 200 years?

 

That will be too late.

 

We don’t have that much time left.

We no longer have that luxury.

 

We need all three:

 

A change from above,

a change from the middle

and a change from below.

 

In the light of all the totalitarian and warlike excesses

as well as the climate emergency,

it would indeed be far more effective

that laws at the most comprehensive levels possible

be written and enforced

so that democracy prevails over tyranny,

justice prevails over injustice,

generosity prevails over greed,

equality prevails over inequality,

right prevails over wrong,

harmony prevails over chaos.

 

It is also for this reason that we insist so much on the need for everyone to see.

 

To see that the humanity-Earth scale itself contains all the solutions,

all the harmony we need

not only to get us through, and suffer as little as possible

but also and above all, to blossom and fulfill ourselves

by learning how to harvest everything this world has to offer.

 

There’s nothing easier in reality.

 

No concrete or technical obstacles

would indeed stand in the way of achieving

what wisdom dictates.

 

Sadly,

there is nothing more difficult to see for the majority of us,

let alone want it.

 

To the one who wants to see, the vision will be revealed.

Nothing is more certain.

 

All the wise men, all the prophets have said this:

 

To the most abominable criminal,

to the most speculative, blind, individualistic greedy person,

knowledge is accessible, and so is the power to see.

 

Without knowledge or wisdom

there is no freedom, no salvation, no fulfillment.

 

This spark, this ‘enlightenment’

that Buddhists and other prophets reveal is accessible to all.

 

Just close your eyes and see the earth appear,

detach yourself from yourself,

see the Earth,

the humanity that lives on it and yourself with it.

 

See, and it shall be revealed to you.

See, and the world shall be transformed.

 

The power of knowledge is invincible.

No weapon can destroy it without destroying all humankind.

 

There are no other words to describe it.

 

See

and free your word to say it

even better than stated here.

 

To see is not a revolution through violence.

 

It is a revolution of consciousness.

 

Given individualism, selfishness, narcissism,

blindness, generalized conditioning,

and the current balance of power,

there will be, I fear, confrontation nonetheless

between those who support the system and those who will have seen.

 

If we all put our minds to it,

then there’s nothing they can do but see in their turn:

 

All of us together,

to change or to perish.

 

To be or not to be.

 

There is absolutely nothing partisan or dogmatic about this.

 

Whatever the outcome,

our destiny, in this evolutionary age, is universal.

 

No one can escape the common destiny of all humanity.

 

Only fools think they can get away with injustice and survive all alone.

 

Justice alone can save humankind.

 

That is clear. It’s 100% certain.

Nothing could be more obvious.

How a revolution through violence

always engenders a reign of terror and violence.

 

For a pacifist revolution.

For a successful revolution.

 

In the name of the Revolution and of all revolutionaries,

in the name of Evolution.

 

Anywhere, anytime,

a revolution conquered by violence,

is doomed to repeat the same fundamental errors

of the power it seeks to overthrow.

 

In all times,

a revolution won by violence is a betrayed revolution,

a revolution that is not a revolution.

 

Look at history.

 

All Communist revolutions have turned into dictatorships.

 

Look at the Terror and Guillotine Regime in France after the Revolution.

 

We may or may not regret it.

 

Or we can learn from it.

 

The only revolution that will revolutionize the world forever will be a pacifist one.

 

A revolution conquered by violence is always condemned

to turn into a regime of blind, criminal terror

for at least two reasons:

 

First of all,

whether we like it or not,

to seize power through violence,

is to seize power in division.

 

It’s to condemn ourselves to create an enemy within.

 

With the methods and technology of the 21st century world,

if we’re not careful, sooner or later,

the violence of all forms of power from all sides and all ideologies

will give rise to a new form of institutionalized guillotine.

 

Second of all,

since those who will have led it

will have defeated the old regime by violence

then they will believe that violence is the way.

 

Born out of violence and division,

the new power will have to divide to rule,

suspicion and repression will become the norm.

 

This way of governing has a name:

The dictatorship of terror.

 

Always violence begets violence.

Revolutionaries become radicalized,

the power in position becomes radicalized,

the disruptive elements become radicalized.

 

There are two ways out of a violent insurgency:

1 an unjust and violent, blind and inhuman dictatorship,

2 chaos and civil war.

 

On the other hand,

only a peaceful revolution can revolutionize the world.

and save us from self-destruction.

 

Its power lies not in senseless, criminal violence,

in terror and division,

but in union and numbers.

 

What unites us is always stronger than what divides us.

 

The people is the people,

the people is civilization.

We are civilization.

 

They, the rich and powerful,

make up barely 1% of the world’s population.

 

Without us,

what would their wealth and privileges be?

Have you ever thought about that?

Have you ever asked yourself that question?

Without us, how would they operate?

 

99% of the population versus 1%.

 

Already,

when more than 50, 60% of the population expresses its dissatisfaction

at the same time, for a while,

its voice is inevitably heard.

 

The People’ s power becomes literally invincible,

unsustainable for the government

which must then make way.

 

When the united people is on the streets,

it doesn’t take violence to regain power,

its unity and unanimity are more than enough.

 

On the contrary,

violence divides and discourages people from joining the movement

and therefore hinders the movement.

 

A people united in wisdom and non-violence

need not use force or violence.

 

Its strength is what it is.

Like God, it is self-sufficient.

It is almighty.

 

In that sense,

and in that sense only

will we manage to save ourselves

from nonsense and the abyss.

 

Listen to these words of wisdom.

 

There is still time to free ourselves from the perils of evolution.

 

From political, geopolitical, economic,

ecological, climatic, sociological, psychological and emotional points of view,

if we are to survive beyond this day,

wisdom alone should be our guide.

 

It’s highly feasible

if we allow ourselves to be guided by wisdom

and wisdom only.

 

Whoever we are, whoever you are,

whatever your name, your culture, your religion,

what unites us is always stronger than what divides us.

 

The time has come to unite.

 

Always and now, everywhere and all the time,

what unites us is stronger than what divides us.

 

*

The destination

 

A realistic, possible, effective, wise and fair plan

would be as follows:

 

Take back the power of money creation from the big private banks.

 

Create a new, strengthened and redesigned system of political representation,

a new form of governance

that includes the people in the nation’s decision making.

 

Realize that only wisdom

can save us from our suicidal dementia.

 

For a terrorist to commit suicide by committing horrible crimes

or for humanity to commit suicide through division, violence, injustice and ignorance,

when suicide is a crime,

suicide is always a curse.

 

It is written in the Heavens in letters of flames.

 

Don’t they dazzle you

with their divine radiance?

 

See them.

Please.

See them.

 

To follow her, you must see her.

Then look at her.

Admire her.

Love her.

And follow her.

 

She’s the only salvation we have.

 

Wisdom is our only Guide.

She is an oracle.

The oracle of renewal.

The oracle of rebirth.

 

See, see, see…

And you will be saved,

and we shall be saved.

Outlines of a new democratic and supranational governance

 

For humanity to reach some “state of grace”,

a top priority,

the common welfare of the majority of humankind

with no preference for any one state or group whatsoever

must be written, set in stone on the frontispiece of this new governance.

 

Like the Earth,

whose different strata interact in balance and harmony with each other,

everything on Earth enjoys a certain amount of freedom,

according to scales, velocities, powers and interactions,

influences and directions all different but complementary at the same time,

very strangely divergent and convergent at the same time,

with their own identity,

whose value and wealth can neither be denied nor denigrated,

both one and united in the whole,

this new global governance must be designed

according to a system of interlocking governance from local to global,

bound together, in superimposed layers in terms of circumference, nature, and legitimacy,

so as to secure the sovereignty of both the parts and the whole.

 

It must be the seal of humanity upon itself.

It’s hard to put it any other way.

 

Its primary inalienable and incorruptible mission

is to give humanity the means to its humanity.

 

As well as to bring natural counterweights to its own power,

to international power

thus reinforcing its democratic, natural, sacred legitimacy,

its exemplary strength and its natural authority.

 

We shall return to this point several times,

particularly in the chapter on politics

on how to implement this new path

both sovereigntist and universal,

democratic and humanist.

 

It can already be said that we will be relying heavily on the works

of Etienne Chouard* and Edgar Morin** among others,

whose reading and studying have been so beneficial,

and hopefully will remain so until the end of the world.

 

* https://chouard.org/blog/

**https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Morin

 

It goes without saying that their reading and studying are just magic, so fair are they.

 

There are so many others.

 

In truth, it is the whole of humanity that will be the parent, the creator of its own destiny.

 

All of us,

as many as we are, owe everything we are

to humanity.

 

Founding a system of networked governance,

from local to global, from global to local

relative to each other,

in harmony with supranational governance,

whose mission would be that of a conductor,

in charge of harmonizing the ensemble,

but leaving each of his musicians free to create whatever they want,

as long as the harmony of the whole is preserved,

is to make sure we create the conditions to move in a new direction.

 

Like in a musical improvisation, where the whole is in harmony,

harmony is the work of the musicians as much as it is of itself.

 

It is theirs, but it can always escape them.

 

The state of grace is possible because the artists,

one and united at the same time,

leave it to harmony and creativity

the freedom to depart, to transform, to come back

in a subtle game of points and counterpoints,

one taking precedence over the others

only to embellish the whole thing,

and all of it taking over in a constant game of back and forth

that makes all the richness and wonder of musical works.

 

A state of grace is possible in all circumstances, at all scales.

 

However

such a kind of magic

which seems to come out of nowhere and everywhere all at once

has to get initiated:

 

The realization of what is…

 

…which pre-exists realization.

 

Realization of the power of union is not a hollow expression,

it is the ultimate solution.

 

The universal perceived as an immanent, eternal, omniscient reality,

and transmitted as such,

from the highest levels of the world’s institutions to the most intimate ones,

is a powerful deal-changer.

 

This may sound utopian to you.

I’m telling you it’s our only chance

and that the solutions already exist.

 

Always, solutions pre-exist awareness.

Always.

In every situation.

 

What you read here will never be perfect,

but it shows you that solutions exist.

 

They are applicable everywhere and can come from everywhere.

 

Ideally,

they should be applied everywhere at once,

in a wise, highly respectful and even reciprocal management,

from the global to the local, from the intimate to the universal.

 

Whether in the field of politics, finance, money, economics

or at the psychological and emotional level,

the universal must resonate as an interdependence

which leaves us, at this time, no choice.

 

We are left with no choice but the choice of life,

respect for cultures,

the environment, nature, agro-ecology, local industries and economies

integrated into the economy and dynamics of the world.

 

The harmony of the whole is necessary.

The harmony of the whole necessarily calls for harmony of the parts.

 

Reciprocally,

the harmony of the parts necessarily calls for the harmony of the whole.

That is all we have ever sought, to be truthful.

 

We now have no choice but to limit irrelevance, waste and pollution,

especially, most importantly, to take care of ourselves,

take care of the human, take care of life and the living,

before it gets too late.

 

The survival of humankind, the stability of the world,

the responsible management of the basic needs of humanity

are universal and legitimate, inalienable and sacred rights.

 

We will not be able to cope with the major ecological and climate crises

if we do not start now on the path of Wisdom and Union.

 

The emergence and recognition of a new way of thinking,

the re-humanisation of orders of speed, magnitudes, scales and values,

a new way of thinking about money, economics and human interactions,

the transformation of the monetary, banking and financial system,

the overhaul of the industrial-military system,

the energy transition,

a fairer and more democratic use and distribution of wealth and resources,

are not only legitimate, job-creating,

especially and above all, the source of invaluable freedom and well-being,

they are also absolutely necessary.

 

*

The final conquest.

The final frontier.

 

When humanity becomes aware

that nothing can resist its invincible and universal legitimacy,

then a new body for international solidarity cooperation may emerge

to transcend the local, the national and the global,

and give birth to a new era.

 

This is technically very easily and very quickly achievable.

 

There are two complementary ways of doing this:

Organizing major planetary events.

Claiming the salvation of humanity in the harmonization of the world.

 

The world is the last territory to be conquered.

 

Humanity must conquer itself.

 

How to achieve this?

By becoming aware.

 

If you can see,

then you see that a lasting state of grace is possible.

 

In any situation,

there is the possibility of a happy or unhappy outcome

which is dictated by how we perceive events,

and how we influence the course of events.

 

Even though extreme cases may be sacrificial,

a problem always has a solution

when we give ourselves the means

to confront it, analyze it, face it and fix it.

 

In any state of grace,

virtuous dynamics support and nourish the interrelational edifice:

the parts nourish the whole and the whole nourishes the parts.

 

Everything falls into place by itself.

 

Then gradually an improved, transfigured world will emerge.

 

It may have seemed impossible before,

but today the new age of instantaneous and global communication

makes the universal possible.

 

As Jeremy Rifkin* points out,

we don’t realize the magnitude of the potential of such a revolution.

It’s comparable to the invention of writing.

It’s immense.

Not to free up speech and thought,

it’s freezing history, it’s destroying hope.

 

Perhaps the best part of the internet has yet to be revealed.

Still, it’s essential that the internet allows for the expression

of the most urgent and worthy things in all the countries of the world:

 

To save the world.

 

Who knows what the consequences will be?

 

The universality of the world and peoples

is something that human beings have never, ever experienced.

 

On every level,

may it be social, political, economic, spiritual, emotional, social, political, economic,

I see them as positive at worst,

radiant at best…

 

Considering the disasters, each one more cataclysmic than the last

that threaten us with imminence,

the universal and the union of the entire planet is an opportunity,

a golden moment to be seized…

 

Unique, it is also, inevitably, the ultimate.

 

When human men, women and children all over the world

will have once experienced the immense power that they can,

over and beyond their cultural, ideological, religious, spiritual, professional, political and economic differences,

demonstrate in a union,

then they will have realized

that no longer will a vested interest be able to stand in the way

of the greater good

and undermine the confidence and sovereignty

of a humanity that’s finally become aware of itself

and who has come to realize that its only enemy,

it was itself.

 

Only the voice of a united people of the Earth,

aware of the ecological and climatic dangers that await us,

aware of its intrinsically sovereign and democratic power and authority

inherent in its unity, better yet, its universality,

can tilt back the balance of power

and give us hope in the midst of gloom and nightmares

that lurk all around us.

 

Major world events must therefore be organized

so that the world celebrates the world,

and humanity honors humanity.

 

Then only will we find hope and faith again,

and come to our senses.

 

It is the very principle of freedom and sovereign democracy

to call the people, more than the people, humanity, to celebrate themselves,

to celebrate timeless humanity.

 

Set consistent dates,

use one-off events such as world climate conferences,

or the G20 or whatever,

all that matters is to do it regularly.

 

It’s an inescapable fact:

if it wishes to continue to progress,

humanity must unite in harmony and solidarity

or sink.

 

It’s History,

the sense or nonsense of History.

 

Indeed,

the more we fight with violence and resentment

rather than leniency and cooperation,

the further we retreat into death and nothingness.

 

We have all the more power to change

without fighting each other

since fighting is always ultimately counterproductive

for everyone who is at war with each other,

victim or criminal, guilty or innocent, righteous or torturer.

 

Harmony and life,

or chaos and death.

 

To embrace the inevitable harmonization of the world,

in consistency, acknowledgement and gratitude,

in the search for stability and balance,

in peace and faith

is our only chance.

 

A democratic rule of law in a nation

is conquered by the unity, solidarity, strength

and determination of the people of the nation,

not by his vengeful, murderous madness.

 

A democratic rule of law in the world shall be conquered

thanks to the unity, solidarity, strength, wisdom, greatness and determination of the world’s people.

 

Through the active planetary union of humanity,

the march to freedom,

if there is one,

will be done gradually or with lightning speed…

 

…or will not be.

 

As a result,

all local, regional, national, international, continental, global

networks, all NGOs, associations, trade unions, companies,

all alternative political formations,

all works of charity, all men and women of good will, all children

must communicate and work together

to defend and promote sovereign and universal democracy

and the awakening of humanity to itself,

through its unity, by calling for day(s) of general mobilization around the world

from the smallest villages to the largest urban centres, all over the world,

to finally demand justice and wisdom.

 

They will never give us back control.

We must, and we can take it back from them.

 

Without servants,

there are no masters.

 

Without us,

humans, People of the Earth,

those who lead us to madness, suffering and annihilation,

no longer control anything, no longer own anything, no longer are anything.

 

Only the union of solidarity on a planetary scale

can help humanity to find satisfactory and truly effective solutions

to both current economic, monetary, social, political, energetic, health, ecological and climate challenges

as well as those yet to come.

 

Not only because it’s possible

but also because it is the only possible solution,

the union of humankind will be invincible.

 

Planetary union,

it is both the end and the means.

 

*

The path is the destination:

Humankind’s Destiny.

 

The union of all the opposing forces

 to this absolute domination of money over the entire world

is the means.

 

It is the solution.

 

If the means merge with the end,

then the union is no illusion.

 

The union has no other purpose than itself.

 

Power comes from union,

not division.

 

If necessarily the union generates, increases and spreads the power and legitimacy of the union,

the union has no other rationale but itself.

 

We must put an end to the fragmentation

of the humanist and environmental protest forces.

 

Union is the state we choose not only because we want it,

but also because we can.

 

Whenever we really want to, we can.

Because the means is also the end.

 

As an interdependent and interconnected whole,

it’s what’s best for all of us.

 

The union is not a crazy utopia.

 

On the contrary,

it is the ultimate reality, the last alternative

to the annihilation and even extinction of all humanity.

 

The union will be

or there will be no future for anyone,

no life left for any human being.

Fragments of thoughts

 

*

The best way to give one’s life, to transfigure it,

is to break the cursed circle of violence, hatred, enmity and revenge.

 

To give one’s life

for the perpetuation and even reinforcement of the vicious circle of reprisals ad aeternam,

is to give your life for nothing,

worse, it’s giving it to evil, it’s giving it to the devil.

 

*

Censorship and tyranny,

networks and communication, freedom and democracy.

 

The right to expression, communication and information is an inalienable right.

 

Each at his or her own level,

every citizen,

NGOs, associations, but not only,

must mobilize to promote

the right to education and the exchange of information,

the right to justice and truth.

 

Without these multiple networks, without these citizens,

fuelled by humanism, aspiring to general well-being and democracy,

that are already abounding all over the world,

there could be no Democracy, either local, national or transnational

because they are the first links across differences, rifts and borders,

of the union of humanity.

 

One way or another,

as described by Michael W. Doyle in the Call for Global Governance in Solidarity and Responsibility,

“The world has no more time to waste”*,

submitted to the Secretary General of the United Nations by Collegium International in 2012,

must be encouraged within a new global architecture.

Appel pour une gouvernance mondiale solidaire et responsable.

M.W. Doyle talks about ‘network governance’:

 

“Legitimacy and capacity

are no longer defined and controlled by superiors [agents of power, presidents, ministers, MPs, civil servants, etc.] through delegation of authority, but distributed and decentralized.

The legitimacy of governance results from the values shared in an “international community”.

committed to peace, human rights, environmental sustainability and poverty eradication.

 

The agents are multiple actors in networks composed of small public officials, parliamentarians,

judges and specialists working for NGOs or the private sector.

They approach problems with a focus on practical solutions. Problems that these “coalitions of the willing” take on their own initiative through the implementation of shared values. »

[…]

“Each brings to the network autonomous and distinct capacities for dialogue and action. »

 

It is up to these networks to make themselves

a place in the decision-making bodies,

and rise to their rightful position.

 

Being motivated not by self-interest,

but by their conscience and their knowledge,

 out of respect for life and the living,

they are entitled to that right.

 

The harmonization, synchronization and mobilization of humanist action

is a common necessity of major importance.

 

It also belongs to each and every citizen,

regardless of their sphere of influence, their network or their responsibility

to carry out this noble task:

 

To each and every citizen is granted the gift of this mission.

 

In the sense that it is intimate, existential, simple and profound,

your mission is sacred and holy:

 

To defend the right to life and dignity.

The virtuous and fruitful circle is the remedy

for the vicious and rotting circle.

 

Hope for the best and for utopia

is the antidote to our worst frenzied delusions.
