The World in my Image

I am man. I have created my world according to my image of it, which was created in images given me by other creators. You are in my world without my approval and I must deal with you. So I re-create you to fit my world. If you are not comfortable in my world, too bad for you. All I need is a little determination to send you packing to another world of someone else's creation. Watch your step!

When this attitude reached a critical mass, which might have been as little as ten percent of the world's population, the world was swept up in the "great" power of man. Ten percent quickly became twenty and man saw great power in numbers, so he organized to increase his power. The first one to add others to his world of power, ruled the earth. Those he ruled noticed his power was in his numbers. They organized to gain power and diminish that of the ruler. The ruler was no fool and he had the power to increase his numbers to compete with the opposition and dominate. The race for dominion was born. In a few generations, the race was tradition. Everyone knew it had always been this way and always would be. Man looked at all he had created and said, this is very good.

Fast forward a few thousand years and man still knows the world has always been this way and always will be, but it is not so very good any more. There is injustice, mass murder, incalculable suffering and torture. The land, air, water and life itself has become stale and poisonous. Man asks his first question. Who shall we blame? The other is to blame. The other has forced us to make a mess of our home. Let us be rid of all others. But the others have power. We must have more. They create more and begin ridding the world of the other. Soon the others are vanquished. The world is put right and man begins to clean up the mess. Another other appears, as if from nowhere.

And who do we blame for this? man asks. This can only be the work of God. But the wise say God is dead. His work lives on. Let us rid ourselves of His work then. That, is more work than any of us can do. Then let us increase our numbers and gain the power to do this work. Here we are. We are many. We have all power. The mess is worse than before. What will we do now? It is beginning to seem pointless to make the effort. Weariness penetrates deep in our bones. Let us write a song then. Mistakes, we've made a few, but then again, too few to mention. But more, much more than this, we've done it our way.

Man began to consider his way - and his end. One said, what if there is another way? Would it kill us to try it? Probably. You know it has always been this way and always will be. Another chimed in, what if this belief was one of our few mistakes and always has been? Hmmm, interesting question. The meaningful question has been asked. What is your answer?

New Age scholars have reasoned there is a point of critical mass in accepted thought. Perhaps as little as 10% of any population. At the point of critical mass, an idea gains inertia. It spreads to a wider audience. A rapid transformation occurs in mind and spirit, that encircles the earth. At the apparent points of origin this new idea takes root and produces a new paradigm for all who focus upon it. Life is so improved for those who embrace it, others want and pursue it. The mechanism that brought us here is the one that will take us there. We have broken the stranglehold of what has always been. We have new hope that all doesn't have to be the same tomorrow. This discovery is so powerful we must live with it for a few years, just to get comfortable with it and see some of the new possibilities it offers. We are excited in the way we were with childhood discoveries, we had nearly forgotten. We want to share our excitement. If we follow that urge, we speed the process and observe our work bearing fruit. Soon the others, we once tried to rid ourselves of, have joined the New World Order and feel driven to share with more and more others. Others who now appear to be us, before we knew.

We are living in a fast moving world. Where is it heading? The Old World Order will tell you it is headed to its ultimate destruction, any day now. The old order has learned to change what is, means to end what is. The New World Order knows we must end what is, to have what could be. The end to one is a beginning for another. The old turns to its numbers and weapons of power and destruction, in order to hang on to what has always been. They will not give up without a fight. But the new order finds new and better weapons, weapons of mass construction. Words and deeds that point to a better way. The old has a cup half full. The new has an empty cup and are glad of it.

The New World Order does not reject every idea from the past, or every effective weapon. The same mastermind alliance that galvanized external power in the beginning of man's troubled journey, will concentrate real power, the power of creation and love, and do it very quickly. A stitch in time sort of thing. Multiple mastermind alliances are forming around the world. It was a 20th Century New Ager named Napoleon Hill, who explained the concept of mastermind alliance in a best selling book called Think and Grow Rich. Though this title sounds like one for the Old World Order, it was chosen for that very reason. To reach the New Agers living under the Old World Order. It was a great life handbook when I first read it, 30 years ago. It was even better when I read it again, year before last. Napoleon explains that people united in common cause have exponentially greater power than the same people working for the same cause, independently. His point was human unity in the service of good, incorporates the power of the universe, the power of unity. This same power can be used for evil, as with Jim Jones, Saddam Hussein or George Bush. When used for good, it easily overpowers any evil or ignorant use in opposition. This is a weapon man did not create and has unconsciously used to the detriment of the universe. When used consciously, nuclear weapons cannot prevail against it, once established. Which is why we hurry to establish the new Mastermind alliance.

This alliance was created in the last century. It was a baby. It was Jazz musicians. It was Beatniks. It was Rock and Roll. It was the flower children. It was a new scholarship, all of which have grown to adolescence and some to maturity. It now has the qualities of adolescent energy and enthusiasm, no longer available to the old order. But it also has the wisdom of maturity, that all this energy should not be misdirected. Whether you wish to join this Mastermind alliance, simply observe its progress, or prevent it, your best bet is to visit the new Web site of Deepak Chopra and friends. It is the Alliance for the New Humanity. I thought you'd want to know.
