The Tellurian Revolution

As a child, I decided I was an 'atheist', because I couldn't accept 'God' as 'He' was presented to me. A few years later I discovered the word 'agnostic' and decided that it was much better to admit that I just didn't know, so that I might be open to discovering whatever spiritual force may exist.

Recently, I declared myself to be an 'anarchist' because I couldn't accept any form of national government that I was aware of. More recently, I decided to keep my mind open in this area as well...


tel‧lu‧ri‧an

1. of or characteristic of the earth or its inhabitants; terrestrial.
2. an inhabitant of the earth.


The phrase, "Taxation without representation is tyranny," is attributed to James Otis, and was famously repeated by Patrick Henry. Those guys were involved in something known as the American Revolution, which was more than just another colonial uprising...

Some 230 years later, times have changed. Today's tyrannical empire isn't so easy to identify. Some call it a "cryptocratic oligarchy", but when we have a billionaire former CEO in high public office, and one of his colleagues recruiting for human sacrifices in tiny nations such as Montenegro and Albania, we might be able to figure out who some of the players are.

Governments are easily corrupted. This is nothing new, but the scale of government (and the scale of corruption) has reached monstrous proportions. American revolutionaries knew that government must be kept in check, but their work was undone. We continue to trade our liberty for a false sense of security, kind of like paying 'protection' money to local thugs.

Pretty soon there will be some key questions asked and answered, for the world to see. People will begin to recognize who is really running things, and begin to understand why. Don't expect them to be happy about it.

Yet, the cryptocracy has been quite thorough, reaching its tendrils into many influential organizations, staking claim to their position at the top of the food chain. We can't very well go to the United Nations and expect them to solve the problem -- Or can we?

Well, we could try. But then, many of the problems we currently face are caused by the US administration, which thumbs its nose at the UN -- and the UN itself is far from what it was originally intended to be.

One wonders if the European Union will ever get over its ideas about supranationalism and settle on intergovernmentalism, and whether the African Union will manage to show the EU a better way. Do we dare hope for a future network of such continental unions?

Could we one day enjoy a complete absence of large, overbearing governments, having replaced them with a global, cooperative union? Do we want that?


Many oppose the idea of a global government, and with good reason. However, some form of it is inevitable -- and quite possibly desirable. Perhaps our future holds global cooperation between smaller governments, as a form of global government.

While I certainly don't support what currently passes for government in this country (and many others), we do require a certain amount of organization. There will continue to be decisions that must be agreed upon. I DO support government that listens to its people while staying out of their business as much as possible (even if such a thing is purely theoretical at present).

So, what I am indeed advocating is a PROPERLY PLANNED AND CAREFULLY MANAGED Global Union.


A Global Union would, just like it sounds, be sort of like a larger version of the EU and AU. We can think of those smaller unions as being testbeds. We can look at what works and avoid what doesn't...

Large nations such as the United States and China present a problem. Citizens enjoy less and less real representation as they are lumped into larger and larger groups. I propose that large nations be broken down into existing states and provinces (and beyond that, as far as necessary) for the purposes of representation in the Global Union. Conversely, smaller states such as Baja California Norte and Baja California Sur may choose to join together (if Mexico is deemed too large) -- but of course that would be a regional issue.

The question of how well any particular regional government represents its people is still a problem, but it is ultimately a problem for the people of that particular region. However, with each region becoming part of a global family, they may be more open to governmental alternatives...

Breaking government down into smaller regions makes influence from corporate lobbyists more difficult.


Still, no matter what form of government we have to put up with, how will we make sure we are being properly represented?


Behind the scenes, the transcendental meditation movement has been at work, improving our situation here on Earth little by little, since its inception. This is very much the 'Thought Creates' sort of thing that the late Walt Bartoo (AKA Kortron) endorsed, but on a much larger, well-organized (some would say 'cultish') level.

In the course of composing this post, I Googled 'global union' and found the Global Union of Scientists for Peace. There is apparently scientific evidence that thought does indeed create. It seems that Unified Field research has led to the discovery that INTELLIGENCE is the one force that ties everything together.

To repeat: Intelligence is the Unified Field. http://www.gusp.org/foundation.html

This makes sense to me. It explains, well, almost everything. Maybe now I know what "God" is.

And, if people can achieve a state of consciousness that will allow them direct influence on things, perhaps that is the future of governance. While in such a state, I very much doubt that anyone could or would steer things wrong. I tell you, I'd rather trust things to monks in orange robes than to any elected official.

Do our thoughts and THINGS WE SAY OUT LOUD have an effect on the world around us? Maybe they do. And, maybe when you lend voice to your doubts and fears, they can become self-fulfilling. Further, maybe if you can achieve a higher state of conscienceness a couple of times a day, you can contribute to universal harmony...


Maybe the revolution will indeed be an extremely peaceful one, wherein many of us learn the art of transcendental meditation and/or find ourselves in a sort of waking dream state, finally in touch with the Multiverse and putting an end to ignorance through the power of the Human mind.

Maybe now the "New Age" movement makes more sense, and maybe it becomes more obvious why that most famous of the Maharishi's students, John Lennon, was assassinated.

Maybe we can indeed eventually forget about any formal form of governance. Perhaps all we need to do is to look within.

Disclaimer:

I have not actively pursued transcendental meditation in any ritualized form, and find it quite odd that "TM" is not something you can learn for free.

One would think that such a thing, if it is all it's said to be, would be broadcast freely instead of being sold.

However, I think there is indeed something to the general idea. That each of us is connected to everything, and that we may be able to influence the world around us through the power of thought, and that the power of those thoughts is multiplied when many of us are thinking the same thing, makes sense to me.

This is very analogous to "the power of prayer". One need not subscribe to any particular mindset of what "God" is to contribute.

If everything is indeed connected, if some cosmic intelligence is indeed at the root of all energy and matter, then everyone's individual intelligence must play a part. It then follows that we can, once we realize this, begin to control the influence of our will.

If the Maharishi, after discovering certain techniques, was compromised and left forever unable to truly share, perhaps it was meant to be. Perhaps we were not ready, and certain things on this Earth had to play out. Perhaps, without the horrors we have witnessed, we would not be able to fully appreciate the wonders that are to follow.

Still uncertain as to how it will come about, I have seen a beautiful future for the Earth and her people. In the interim, life may suck.

Namaste, and good luck.
