It is obvious that our global financial system, our global political system, and our global philosophical system is seriously broken and dysfunctional. Our current system can not work for everyone...going forward. It favors the few who rule over us and those with WEALTH and money power. We need a NEW MODEL for our planet which is inclusive for everyone...and this implies that we also need core ASSUMPTIONS which model reality in the NOW.
Many of our current assumptions about reality are no longer valid for our new age which is emerging. Our man ruled system has produced assumptions which favor those in POWER and those with WEALTH. This means that we now need to think in terms of NEW ASSUMPTIONS which are valid for everyone in real-time. Assumptions which provide each individual with autonomy. What might be some of these assumptions? Let's list the core assumptions (as I envision them):
1. Reality (today) is subjective and everyone has a unique point-of-view. So called 'objective' reality is no longer valid. We have been living with the idea that reality can be determined objectively (say by religion, philosophy, or science) and this is no longer valid thinking. There is NO objective reality that can be imposed upon everyone by a select few. Religion (each/every religion) is subjective. Science is subjective. Theology is subjective. Philosophy is subjective. Subjective means that no-one can discover an absolute set of assumptions which are valid for everyone (in real-time). God is the only objective person and this person is not ruling (on planet Earth) with one objective set of assumptions. Witness all the unique points-of-view on this planet. Each person has a unique POINT-OF-VIEW (this is our current situation). There are zero objective/absolute viewpoints.
2. Reality is lived (always) in the NOW. This seems obvious to anyone who thinks seriously about events as they happen. There is no PAST or FUTURE (except within my/your memory). And memories are accessed in the NOW (always). I live in the NOW and act in the NOW. I assume you do likewise. Consciousness is a NOW experience. Life continues from birth to death as a NOW experience. We need this ASSUMPTION for our new age. All the PAST and FUTURE scenarios are only expressions (imaginations) derived from memories and thinking in the NOW. Visualize our global society (right now). We have some 8.5 billion points-of-view and each point-of-view experiences reality as a NOW event (within their subjective consciousness). NOW is our reality (assumption) for this new age.
3. Reality reveals that each person is an agent (not a principal). Who can play God for everyone? I say none! No-one can play God and rule this planet with objectivity (for everyone). This means that each person is an AGENT of a Higher Intelligence (Authority)...not a Principal. Our new MODEL needs to assume that each person lives as an AGENT of a Higher Authority (Intelligence). This means that we all are EQUALS (under this Higher Authority). Equality (of personhood) is our core ASSUMPTION for this coming new age. Think on this! Everyone is an EQUAL!
4. Reality needs to function with a DECENTRALIZED model (it takes a village) for ruling and administering this new system (now emerging). Our current attempt to CENTRALIZE the entire global society under a system where the FEW rule is not valid or workable. This centralized mindset of our elites can not bring freedom and/or happiness to the world society. A ONE WORLD CENTRALIZED SYSTEM is what our elites desire but this type of system only brings enslavement for the many. We need to ASSUME that a DECENTRALIZED world will function so that everyone can participate in its governance. Each village will function independently and also with assistance from everyone (via our internet world). Think of decentralizing the planet for this new age which is emerging.
5. Reality needs to ASSUME that individual FREEDOM is a core principal (need) for this coming new age. Each person must view himself as EQUAL (in personhood) with everyone else (not better or worse). This is a mindset which is core for this coming new age (model). Individual freedom (and equality) can not emerge given our current global system of enslavement. The few prosper (under our current system) and function with some freedom but the many are enslaved to the ruling regime/system. Political democracy produces a form of mob rule where the minority imposes their will on the whole. This is our current system in America and the West. Our new age ASSUMPTION must be based upon FREEDOM for each individual. The INDIVIDUAL must be supreme not the STATE.
6. Reality needs to ASSUME that money is an invented idea which is no longer valid for a new age of freedom and happiness for the individual. In reality, money, is no-where within our current material universe. This idea (money) was invented (by man) to serve mankind in an age of scarcity. Scarcity meant that this tool (called money) could help with increasing production, distribution, and valuation of all assets. We are now entering an age of abundance and this means that everyone can live without money and still have extreme WEALTH and ABUNDANCE for all needs and desires. There is no need for MONEY in our new age which is emerging. A key ASSUMPTION for this new age is the elimination of money for planet Earth.
7. Reality (in our new age) must assume that our Higher Source (Intelligence) is the real OWNER of planet Earth. All resources are OWNED by our Higher Source (Creator) and each individual (on planet Earth) is an agent of this Source. This means that sharing of all RESOURCES is a core ASSUMPTION. With money being eliminated this reality (of sharing God's resources) will be desired by everyone. All debts will be eliminated. All value will be shared so that everyone can prosper and grow their wealth. Think of our invisible KING (within our consciousness) as the real OWNER of planet Earth and our entire material universe. You and I are servants/agents of this Higher Authority. This ASSUMPTION must be CORE!
The above principals seem valid for our NEW MODEL that is emerging (after the current model/system collapses). There may be other ASSUMPTIONS which will need to be added to this list of core assumptions. But we now need to start thinking about a NEW MODEL (set of assumptions) for planet Earth. The OLD is perishing and the NEW is emerging. Give these principals some reflection at your leisure. They seem valid to me. Have a great day!
