Throughout our summary of recorded history, we can see recurrent
themes play out in assorted venues. The themes are hierarchy and
competition, leading to a consolidation of power and its resulting
excesses. This in turn leads to a different way of relating to
reality (a new consciousness), and a drastic shift in the power structure.
After which the process repeats.
Our Present
When we first started exploring the problems in our world, we noticed that
the U.S. government wasn't really working for "the people" ...
that our justice system wasn't really just ... that our press wasn't
really free ... and that our foundations weren't really a positive influence in our future.
Of course, all of these suspicions were contrary to the conventional
wisdom.
As we explored these one by one, however, we found that we were not
alone in our suspicions. In fact, there was a significant number of
similar communities who were coming to exactly the same conclusions --
that our government and our media had been captured by large,
multinational corporations. Further, that our judicial system and
our foundations supported this situation, and were not interested in
changing it.
But if all of these were true, then the world as we know it must be an
illusion, something presented to the masses to keep them divided and
subservient.
Yes, this is unbelievable. And yes, this is true ...
Just like the printing press and paper helped
us to break
through the illusion as presented by the Church, the Internet and computers are helping
us to break through this illusion being presented by the
corporate media. (If you still doubt any of this, please
read our archives,
or join our discussion list and ask any questions
you might have.)
And that bring us up-to-date. With our historical summary to guide
us, and elite control as a premise, we will now attempt to provide some
perspectives on Our Future.
