Multidimensional food for thought...
~We are living during a time of fundamental paradigm-shift from fragmentation to holism. The great question of our time is whether the shift to holism will happen in time to save humanity from self-extinction. Will the human project be terminated through some forms of climate collapse or nuclear holocaust? Or will we transform our relationships with one another to the point where we create a holistic, just, loving, and sustainable planetary civilization?…
Holism is the most fundamental discovery of 20th century science. It is a discovery of every science from astrophysics to quantum physics to environmental science to psychology to anthropology. It is the discovery that the entire universe is an integral whole, and that the basic organizational principle of the universe is the field principle: the universe consists of fields within fields, levels of wholeness and integration that mirror in fundamental ways, and integrate with, the ultimate, cosmic whole.
This discovery has overthrown the early-modern Newtonian paradigm in the sciences, which was predicated on atomism, causal determinism, mechanism, and a materialism that was discerned, it was thought, by a narrow empiricism. The holism of the ancient and medieval thinkers was superseded by this early-modern Newtonian paradigm in the 16th and 17th centuries. This development generated a host of assumptions about the world and human beings that became determinate for the basic world view that most people and institutions continue to hold today.
For many thinkers and religious teachers throughout this history, holism was the dominant thought, and the harmony that it implies has most often been understood to encompass cosmic, civilizational, and personal dimensions. Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Lord Krishna, Lao Tzu, and Confucius all give us visions of transformative harmony, a transformative harmony that derives from a deep relation to the holism of the cosmos. Human beings are microcosms of that holism and must seek ways to allow it to emerge within their lives and cultures. The early-modern paradigm reversed this holism and saw the world in atomistic and mechanistic terms. Human beings were not microcosms but rather the human mind, consciousness, and our needs for love and solidarity were seen as merely subjective epiphenomena not deeply related to the “cold, hard facts” supposedly discovered by science.
Today the holism of the ancients has been rediscovered on a higher level. We understand, very much more clearly than these ancient thinkers, that human beings are deeply historical beings, moving from a past, through a dynamic present, toward a future that we are deeply involved in creating. We create our future through a vision and comprehension of its possibilities. Revolutionary holism is just that: a holism that can transform everything from disharmony to harmony, from war to peace, from hate to love. Ethics, law, education, and government are all historically grounded aspects of human life. This means they are subject to holistic transformation, to “a new heaven and a new Earth,” that, indeed, has much in common with what the ancient teachers said about holism and harmony.
Holism is not simply an intellectual perception of harmony, for in holism we are included in the wholes, wholes that we discern at the deepest levels with our entire being. We both discern and embody the holism of humanity, of the earth, of the cosmos, and of the divine. Holism means not only reason but love, indeed, it involves the synthesis of reason, intuition, and love. If reason has discovered this pervasive holism through the sciences, the love taught by the ancient religious teachers complements and embodies that holism. Jesus taught the oneness of humanity within the embrace of divine love: “When you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren you have done it unto me.” In his teaching, recognition of our common humanity within the ontological love of God is the foundation for a transformed human community, the bringing of the kingdom of God to Earth.
The reality of ourselves as persons is not that of abstract, disconnected individuals possessing a priori rights against other people and society. This conception that human beings are a collection of individuals for whom civilization and the social order are second-order relationships is a product of the early-modern, Newtonian paradigm that forms the conceptual basis for both capitalism and the system of sovereign nation-states. Within capitalism, the fundamental nature of the social bond is ignored and denied. People and corporations are considered abstract atoms promoting their rational self-interest in competition with all other such entities. Under the nation-state system, the planet is divided into a multiplicity of militarized territorial units, each promoting its own national interests vis-à-vis the rest of humanity, again institutionally denying our common human reality and our holistic interdependence with all other persons and with nature.
The reality is that our individuality and our social-ontological bond with civilization and the rest of humanity arise simultaneously. We are connected to all others and the entire human project. From this connection comes about abilities for language, reason, love, compassion, social harmony, and transformative justice. Our fundamental reality is not that of abstract atoms within a fragmented world disorder in a Darwinian struggle for survival. Our reality is our common humanity, interdependent with one another, needing solidarity and mutual recognition, and living within a fragile planetary ecosystem in which all living creatures are also interdependent. The reasons why human beings continue to wallow in disharmony, violence, and chaos arise in large measure from our misunderstanding of who and what we are. We need to understand ever more clearly the tremendous significance of the emergent holism and our vital role within the new “universe story”.
A global consciousness has begun to emerge that was very rare in human beings prior to the mid-20th century. It is a consciousness that we now face global crises and global issues that threaten our existence on Earth. It began to dawn on thoughtful people everywhere that we are faced with impending climate collapse—the transformation of our planetary climate into forms that no longer sustain higher forms of life and that could, in the process of collapse, engender out of control patterns of devastation such as mass extinctions or pandemics that wipe out the human species and destroy civilization. “What we are experiencing today,” philosopher Hans Jonas writes, “is the paradox of excessive success that threatens to turn into a catastrophe by destroying its own foundation in the natural world”…
…The kind of institutions in which we live influence the kind of persons we become and the ways in which we relate to one another. Changing the conceptual foundations of our laws and institutions can allow the spirituality of love and compassionate justice to enter society. Peter Gabel, for example, describes the goals of the Integrating Spirituality, Law, and Politics project within the United States:
Our aim is to transform law into the building of a binding culture in public space—in public rooms like courthouses and courtrooms, in written discourses like law books and legislation—that attempts to foster empathy and compassion and human understanding, a force of healing and mutual recognition, rather than the mere parceling out of rights among solitary and adversarial individuals.
…The new holistic paradigm must serve as the presupposition for the meaning of the parts on every level, from the cosmos to the planetary biosphere to human life. We must make a paradigm-shift from starting with the parts and trying to build wholes (peace, justice, sustainability, etc.) to an orientation that starts from the whole on every level. We must think of our individuality, our culture, our economics, and our nation as deriving from the holism of humanity, not the reverse. The transformation of primary perspective, of starting point, is one of the keys to human liberation. The Constitution for the Federation of Earth, written by hundreds of world citizens over a period of some 23 years from 1968-1991, is predicated precisely on this holism of planetary unity in diversity. It starts from the whole, and then addresses the institutional means for governing the unity in diversity that constitutes human civilization…
The holistic paradigm of law and government identifies a planetary common good, transcending the localized common goods of territorial nation-states. The clear principles of our planetary common good include peace, disarmament, ecological sustainability, and the elimination of the scourge of global poverty. It recognizes that the fate of all people is linked together, both because we are all human beings and because a globalized world has forced awareness of these rights to peace and a protected environment upon us all. Engendering a new global democratic order will establish government and law directed toward making the world a decent place for all its citizens, not just the one percent, and not just those in North America, Europe, or Japan. The very nature of holistic law demands this: the purpose of government and law is intrinsically moral and intrinsically demands universal application through compassionate justice and ecological sustainability…
This new world-peace system will not abolish national administrative and governmental units but will substantially remove the conflict of national partisan interests. National governments under the Earth Constitution function more like states within the US or Pradesh within India. Holistic law recognizes that the cooperative governing of everyone together engenders “positive freedom,” a freedom for each that is so much greater than the so-called “freedom” of isolated units trying to serve egoistic interests while in conflict with others and while resisting governmental authority. The nations and peoples of Earth will begin working together in ways deemed unimaginable during most of modern history since the Renaissance. The redemption of humanity from war, chaos, and self-destruction requires that we unite together under a global social contract…
Legitimate sovereignty belongs to humankind, not to fragmented militarized state territories. Legitimate sovereignty is embodied in the Earth Constitution, resulting in the embrace of humanity and our planet in a governmental regime of compassionate justice, peace, and ecological sustainability. As philosopher Errol E. Harris expresses this: “If the implications of this scientific revolution and the new paradigm it produces are taken seriously, holism should be the dominating concept in all our thinking”. We must begin with the sovereignty and holism of humanity under the Constitution for the Federation of Earth. From that beginning alone, follows the preservation and redemption of humanity.

The Myth of Europa
by John Lamb Lash
According to The Penguin Concise English Dictionary, a pagan is “(1) a follower of polytheistic religion (2) an irreligious person.” If we now apply the word pagan to the indigenous peoples of Europe, and accept paganism as a generic term for the religious orientation of those people, this definition will have to go. One possible alternative: pagan, (1) a follower of animistic religion who recognizes many divinities in a living cosmos, hence, a devotee of the religion of nature; (2) more specifically, a member of the diverse indigenous cultured of pre-Christian Europe.
…From the “Golden Age” that dawned around 600 b.c.e., Greek philosophers and scientists took long years of apprenticeship in Egypt. In Black Athena, Martin Bernal argues that the entire Western European intellectual tradition derives from African origins. Hew says that for Plato and other Greek intellectuals, “if one wanted to return to the ancient Athenian institutions, one had to turn to Egypt.” Bernal cites many examples of famous Greeks who spent years if apprenticeship in the Egyptian Mystery Schools.
…Gnostics in Egypt, the Levant, and the Near East were instructors and guides to the Greeks who launched the Western intellectual tradition, and they were something more as well. They were for the indigenous people of Europe the first line of defense against the salvationist ideology originating from Palestine.
…There is not even a generic name for these people, but “Native Europeans” will perhaps do. Europeans today inhabit bordered nation-states, but this was not the case for the pre-Christian indigenous people who composed a vast mosaic of diverse cultures and ethnic-linguistic groups living in unbordered regions throughout Europe…
The origin of the word Europe occurs in a myth liked to ancient Crete. King Agenor of Tyre, an island off the coast of Lebanon, had a daughter called Eoropa who attracted the attention of the lusting Olympian deity Zeus. To seduce her, Zeusassumed the form of a magnificent white bull. Taking Europa on his back, he ran to the seacoast and swam to Crete. There she bore him sons, including Minos, who became the king of Crete and gave his name to the Minoan civilization that flourished on that island. Europe was named after a goddess from the Levant where the core of the Gnostic movement was located.
…The evangelism of the New Testament arose in the Near East, in Palestine, but it was spread throughout the Old World by Hellenistic Europeans. There is a historical twist hidden in the wordplay here, because the “good news” of the Gospels had nothing to do with the “natural goodness” of Pagan Europe and, in fact, was designed to deny and defeat the native orientation at every turn. When Europeans were evangelized, their sense of place was destroyed, their spirituality suppressed, their sacred sites coopted, and their tribal histories overwritten by a totalitarian script imported from a faraway land.
…the Cretan myth offers the word Europa for the continental expanse of pre-Christian Europe… The time span for for Europa would be from the close of the Ice Age, around 5900 b.c.e., until the post-feudal period when nation-states began to emerge— say, 1400 c.e. That Pagan values of Europa still survived into the Renaissance, even though put under enormous stress by the repressive measures of Roman Christianity. Assaults against the indigenous people included the campaigns against the Cathars and Albigensians in the twelfth century, the Inquisition launched in the fifteenth century, and the witch hunts that raged across Europe between 1450 and 1750, claiming untold numbers of lives…
European cultures present close parallels to those of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Europeans “knew that life was equated with the earth and it’s resources.”, that their habitat was a natural paradise… Anyone who travels in Europe sees the evidence of people who have lived for centuries in a sustained relation to their environment… Everywhere one goes outside outside the urban conglomerations in modern Europe, the land has been touched and shaped by human hands, skillfully, even lovingly managed. For centuries the Pagan inhabitants all across the wide, fertile continent exerted special effort to preserve and enhance the bounty of nature.
The Neolithic, Copper Age, and Bronze Age peoples of Europa were hardly different from Native Americans who survived into the nineteenth century, four hundred years after being invaded. Yet the invaders of the New World were so alienated from their own root that they saw all American tribes as savages to be slaughtered, converted and enslaved, rather than as counterparts of themselves from a distant time.
*The above chapter is taken from John Lash's groundbreaking book: Not in His Image- Gnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology, and the Future of Belief. I consider it essential reading for those wishing to deconstruct the shadows of duality, and the divisive Archontic implants that come with them. ~InLight
Well, I feel we are actually "all one", and that there is "no separation", Mikhail, not only in death but while we are here alive, and indeed, we are already "In Heaven" .. because Heaven (or whatever you wish to call it) .. is right here, right now when we choose to see it from that "higher vibration" perspective, and express ourselves from our hearts, with unconditional love and through the wisdom of being non judgemental. "Heaven" is a state of being, I feel. In fact, quantum physics neatly prooves the reality that there is "no separation" between anyone or anything, given the fact that there are an infinite number of sub atomic particals within all that exists, including the air around us, therefore, nothing physical actually touches anything, and that everything that has ever happened is still happening, indeed, its ALL happening now. Anyway, thats my opinion.
:-) Thank you for b e i n g You, dear Feather...
~You have a nice day as well, Sighhail... I mean, Mikhail. Thanks for stopping by, you always know just how to brighten up the place ;-)
~It goes without saying, Ashtar Massive, that Glen T. Martin & the additional data I’m adding to this thread from Charles Eisenstein, Sacha Stone, etc., simply represent components of a deeper conversation that is manifesting, in countless unpublicized ways, across the globe. From where I stand, these visionaries represent means & ways to address the growing crises that Humanity & our Planet are facing… in new ways… untethered by Archontic works & a shitstem that no longer serves. We find ourselves at a Spiritual tipping point… half measures will avail us nothing! Much respect to the voices who are willing to throw away the old rulebook by reshaping the possibilities, as we choose to walk through the remaining shadows of duality… not around, or away from them. ~InLak'echAlaK'in555
*excerpt from an interview with Sacha Stone regarding the 'Babylonian Priesthood':
Dan Miele: Just going on that a bit you speak of the Babylonian Priesthood, could you describe that a bit? Who is that, what does it entail, what is their purpose?
Sacha Stone: Sure, but I feel it’s rather disingenuous to speak about the Babylonian priesthood on it’s own. Because if I were in Southwest Africa, Central Africa, or Central America, or Southeast Asia I would need to address people of those parts of the world with a completely different aspect of their heritage. In Africa it would be the Leopard Cult, it would be all sorts of egregious and nefarious witch doctoring that has gone on and dream spelling and magic casting by rogue shamanic interests in different parts of the world. But so long as you and I are sitting in the Anglo-Saxon playing field let’s talk about that.
The why is known to us and has always been known to us. It is the sacrifice of innocence. It’s stuff that is now being so refined today that it’s become a soul science practically. So we are harvested pretty much from birth, from the moment the certificate of live birth is issued in the hospital and the placenta is placed into a kidney dish and the child or infant is then discharged from the hospital. The infant and its mother leave the hospital, whereupon we are declared missing at sea or lost at sea. Because we already entered a contract by being birthed through the mother’s canal and being received by the dock authority, which is the “doctor”. So the harvesting begins at our birth. And that certificate of live birth is then flipped into a birth registration certificate, that certificate is offered up to Cronus, the Crown, the king, or the state and we are indentured into a trust. We are presumed “missing at sea” because we left the hospital and never came back and claimed our DNA.
It gets a little complicated there and I could go into great detail for anyone who is interested. At that point we are indentured into a trust because we’ve gone missing and we’re clearly not able to look after our person. Our “person” is the corporate fiction, which at that point takes ownership of the percentage of the country that you are owed. Because when you are born into a country you are worth a percentage of the entire commonwealth of that country. And that amount, if you are the millionth person born, you are worth one millionth of the commonwealth of that country. That amount of money, or value, or asset is indentured into your trust. So your birth bond is the value of that percentage of the commonwealth. And from a few days after you are born you are invariably traded on the stock market in your corporate nation state and for the rest of your life you are generating tremendous revenues but you don’t get to see them. You are being harvested monetarily as a unit of currency. So that, at the monetary level, is how we are harvested.
At the soul level we are being suckered into temples, cathedrals, and churches and what have you. We are being invited not into the Christos principle of the true Christian perspective, but invariably we are being hoodwinked by various priesthoods, churches and various religious inculcations. We are being hoodwinked into false light worship invariably. So the sacrifice of innocence continues unabated through the temples, which are banks, judiciaries, legislatures, corporates nation states and churches working hand in 7 glove with those corporate fictions. Even the church is a corporate fiction, they’re all fictions. And then of course the schools, universities and colleges, which also purely indoctrinate us and segregate us from true creative learning. And so on, and so on, and so on.
Then we’re spat into life, which will only acknowledge us as a corporate fiction, as the identity paper. It doesn’t recognize us as the living man or the living woman. And then we have to do a job, we have to perpetuate a function, and that function is a function of time and money. What drives it is fear, that’s what’s in the engine. We have to do it in order to make the money and we have to regard time as money and money as time. Which again, is the sacrifice of our innocence. We are literally being harvested and we don’t reap the benefits of that time and that money unless we buy a plasma screen TV and six cans of beer and we get drunk. That is the best that we are allowed to enjoy of the illusion that we’ve been suckered into. So that is good old fashioned Canaanite ritualism, writ large in our day, in our time and we don’t even see it. Because we are under the thrall of the psychological media complex, of the education complex, which is indoctrination and propaganda, and invariably we don’t break out of that bubble. Right now we are breaking out of that bubble en masse and there are various reasons for this phenomenon. That’s probably something worth speaking to.

Well, technically you're correct, despite the labeling of human nature.
This systematic paradigm has caused damage on earth, on a psychological, and physical level, which goes beyond progress. Losing connectivity with our inner nature.
My former earthly family is a perfect example of this symptoms, widely spread among all of them. The chain of mental and health related issues links directly into the old paradigm, on a religious, stitutional, laboral and governmental level.
Now we're being born inside earth, replacing human beings. Yes, that might sound scary. We're becoming humankind.
Being fundamentally different in a way that we don't get along with restrictive regulations, rules and laws within this global corporation. Forming a global community instead, free from nuisances such as government.
We're sovereigns ourselves.
A reflection of our ancient civilizations, times of life, wisdom, creativity and connection with the entirety of creation. Yes, the missing element.
Personally, I've abandoned all governmental relation with society and this paradigm. The more of us are born on earth, the less sustenance this system will receive. It will be simply left behind, the same way many of us have done so already.
How does it take place?
Well, being ourselves, which is something quite different from the human model. Life is of most importance and we will not compromise it for anything.
For example, I haven't worked one single day in my entire life, because that's my nature. Free experience, as in my homeland. Every dysfunctional human element within my family has been dealt with already.
Now I remain between leftovers of the old world. Sincerely, I don't know what else to do now. I would like to find my beloved ones once again.
There's no inspiration within myself, and spiritual messages won't make up for a missing family. Sometimes our ships come by, but I need to go home.
My frequency is resonating everyday, a little bit further away from earth and myself. In other words, this means my conscience won't tune in anymore. Missing coherence.
I choose to, this is not the life I wanna live.
It's broken on a fundamental level. I don't go there too often, it hurts.
