CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVEN. THE TECTONIC PARADIGM SHIFT






This essay is devoted to the unknown author of the Biblical text found in John: 32: Ye will know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.


Few truths are as self evident as this. The powerful who I refer to as the Masters of the Universe and their Puppets in the US Senate are tightening their grip on the people of the United States and those of other nations who seek advantage for their countries in the belief that life is an eternal competition for survival. They assume that they can maintain their grip on power over their own people and lead them to success at the same time. 

This is clearly fallacious, as the obvious result of buying into this illusory vision of the nature of things is destroying the planet we all ultimately depend on for or survival. Only by working together in the interest of humanity as a whole can we have assurance that the sins of the Father shall not be visited upon their sons and daughters.

The most important lies are those that conceal the evil acts of leaders of governments. Acceptance of these acts as the nature of things by the people in the nations so affected makes them complicit in these crimes against humanity. We can and must change the paradigm of consensus reality that accepts enslavement by governments run in the interests of international corporations. With the power of the Internet, we can become the Teachers who will Train us to Change the World. When consensus reality undergoes this Tectonic Shift, then we can all Become the Doctors who will Heal Our Selves.

We can begin in America by demanding a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate the details of not only the Constitutional violations by the Bush/Cheney administration that nearly led to fascism in the United States, but wars of choice to maintain the powerful oil interests that put them in office, resist addressing the global climate change threatening the planet and subjugate the world through fear and threat of perpetual war.

In the process, we must demand transparency and accountability of those in the shadow government who carry out the murderous preparations for these wars of choice on behalf of the Masters of the Universe. This will entail declassifying documents hidden from public view under the Orwellian logic of “state security.” The leaders who have treasonously betrayed us and engaged in foreign entanglements to further the interests of international corporations and those who benefit from crimes against humanity must face our collective judgment. 

The list of these crimes includes the Vietnam War, the Gulf and Iraq wars, the murder of democratic leaders throughout the world and the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions and occupations in designed to make the chosen among the US aristocracy the Emperor of a slave planet.

In the end, we must punish only those who lie to the Commission or there will never be peace and freedom on Earth. We have all fallen short of the expectations of a just God. No matter how heinous the crime, only by forgiveness can we hope to move on to a future where all participate in the salvation of an otherwise doomed planet. 

Let us End the Civil War so that we might Finish the American Revolution and establish true representative democracy. Only then will we have the moral authority that will enable us to spread democracy, justice and peace throughout the world by our own example, not at the barrel of a gun. We must have some Sympathy for the Devil of shortsighted, narrowly defined self interest who we have all at times let into our heart and our actions if we are to free ourselves from the grip of our self-imposed enslavement of our minds.






In the immortal words of John Lennon:






When I find myself in times of trouble,
Mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom.
Let it be, let it be.

And in my hour of darkness
she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom.
Let it be, let it be.


Whisper words of wisdom,
let it be, let it be.

When the broken hearted people
living in the world agree,
there will be an answer,
let it be, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
there is still a light that shines on me.
Shine on till tomorrow,
Let it be, let it be.


I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom,
Let it be, let it be.


Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

  1. I like the forgiveness instead of revenge. Did Lennon write these words? I associate them with Paul because he sang them. Again, as I pointed out in the Facebook dialogue, you misleadingly call these corporate carpetbaggers Masters of the Universe. No way. The Universe is a living entity in which cause and effect is strict and never violated. All the causes they make are at their own peril. Nobody, I repeat, nobody, owns the universe, let alone is its master. The only master there is is the person who is completely humbled and openminded, someone who unflinchingly seeks out truth, trains himself in the law of cause and effect that permeates all life, recognizes the inherent equality and balance that is in all things, and acts in accordance, even when personal feelings and the illusions of the mind fight one. Mastery, in the final analysis, is only mastery over one's own mind. Never over others. That is a conceit and an illusion that leads only to endless slavery in continuous realms of suffering. There is no freedom in such.

  2. In other essays I refer to the international corporate terrorists as the "self-appointed" Masters of the Universe. In no way do I agree with their inflated opinion of themselves. In fact, we are going to take them down. How's that for open minded?

    We owe it to those who have died in the name of freedom, our children and posterity to ensure that the fascist New World Order does not become a permanent one.

    The Universe may abide, but in this moment the fate of human civilization hangs in the balance.
