The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government | Full Text

Introduction

It is reasonably safe to assume that if you have found your way to reading this page, you will be aware that we are facing massive societal and economic problems, locally, nationally and internationally too.

The chances are, however, that you will already have an idea or ideas of your own that anchor to what you have concluded yourself or that you agree with others to be the cause.

Common causes for problems like the Cost-of-Living Crisis, Inflation, National and Personal Debt, Energy Prices, Strikes and others too are identified as events such as Brexit, The Covid Pandemic, The War in Ukraine, or placed directly at the feet of The Government, a previous government, any one of The Political Parties or one or more of the Politicians involved.

However, it is not the events that the Country and the World has faced which are the cause of our problems themselves.

It is not the Political Party, the Group or Individual itself that can be identified as the cause.

Yes, the way that our Governments, Politicians and anyone with influence or responsibility for the response and measures taken to mitigate against or implement solutions to, or even see them through to conclusion, are certainly a more informed way to think about these events, rather than it being all about the events themselves.

But even the response or way that those with power have responded isn’t the real cause of our problems.

Our problems are caused by the way that we, and more importantly the way that our Politicians and anyone with influence or responsibility that can affect our lives in some way thinks, acts and behaves.

It is thoughts, actions and behaviour that cause everything. This is what really matters when it comes to the effects of every decision taken that affects Public Policy of any kind, and then finds its way to us.

The crisis that we face and the problems ahead were not deliberate. But they weren’t created by accident either

The UK and the world are sleepwalking towards disaster. Chaos that could have been avoided if the people who lead us – Our Politicians, had taken a very different approach to the way that they think, act and behave when it comes to the decisions they make.

Contrary to accepted thought or to any common or accepted narrative, the people who we currently elect to be Politicians are rarely the best fit to fulfil the role of being a public representative.

Poor Public Representatives make decisions subjectively, in an isolated or myopic way, and do so without due care and attention to the broad range of factors and considerations that the Public should be able to expect and already assume will inform the process of how objectively based Public Policy – which all of it should be – is made.

It is because we have been electing people who are not suitable to be Politicians for so long, that the negative impact from having poor decisions made repeatedly to solve that problems that previous poor decisions made by other unsuitable Politicians have created, that the effect on everything has been cumulative, getting steadily but unconsciously worse.

Bit by bit, ‘The System’ that we have has become increasingly skewed away from and in many ways proactively geared against balance, fairness and what we might call being just in about every conceivable sense possible, when it comes to the different life experiences that we all have.

What is ‘The System’?

For the purposes of making sense of Awakened Politics, ‘The System’ is the structure or framework that makes everything work (or not work) in the way that you and I experience life from the moment we look outside our inner being, live, interact with businesses, organisations, and basically everything beyond personal relationships that lie outside of ourselves and outside of our homes.

For many, indeed for most, ‘The System’ only touches life or the experience of life in a number of very specific ways.

The ways that ‘The System’ touches our lives specifically can be defined by location, lifestyle, career, demographic, education and just about everything that can be used to define or identify a difference of some kind between each of us and anyone else.

‘The System’, for us, is usually a lot of very different things that we have going on continually within our awareness – whether we are physically asleep or awake, added to an even greater list of things going on outside of our awareness that we may not even become or need to become aware of if we were to live a full life and exceed an age beyond 100 years old.

Whether we are aware of ‘The System’ or even parts of it or not, any system or what might be called an ecosystem has its own set of rules that make it work and keep it working.

The rules of ‘The System’ are defined, created, reviewed and maintained by a process that we understand as ‘Democracy’.

We elect Public Representatives or ‘Politicians’ to think about, research, consider and make all the decisions about ‘The System’ – which will ultimately affect us all, even when we are unaware that any or all of these decisions are affecting or touching our lives in some way.

The role of Politics in ‘The System’

To reach agreement, compromise and then conclusion on the rules of ‘The System’, a process of review, discussion, debate and regrettably even argument has historically taken place, based on alternative ideas, or sadly ‘whose idea is best’.

It is rarely, if not ever conducted on the basis of discussion to find agreement on what outcome will be best for everyone concerned.

This process of debate and everything that surrounds it is what we know as politics.

The people we elect as Politicians have responsibility for the rules that govern the thinking, the actions and the behaviour in everything beyond ourselves and our personal lives.

However, if the power entrusted to Politicians is misused or abused, rules can easily become law that mean the thinking, actions and behaviour of others can become unnecessarily, avoidably and unjustly detrimental towards us all. Whether it be us as individuals, as communities or even as a seemingly silent majority.

When we have entrusted Public Representatives to make decisions that are in the best interests of everyone, we are less likely to question the validity of those decisions because it immediately brings into question whether the decisions made by the majority in selecting them are actually sound.

We will not therefore easily accept that ‘The System’ and that The Electorate could be the victims of abuse.

Why do we need Politics?

Let’s start with a question: How do you know what you need at any moment or for any reason or any purpose?

When you’ve thought about it, your answer is likely to be ‘from experience’ or rather, what you have learned from experience so far.

So, what do we do when we don’t have the experience to provide that answer?

The chances are your answer will be to look for and to find the solution – probably by tapping a question into a search engine like Bing or Google, or rather to learn it in some other way.

But what happens when decisions need to be made concerning the services like schools and the NHS, or the infrastructure like parks and roads that are common to us all, that we share, but are not under our direct influence or control?

Whether they are ‘services’ in the strictest sense, or infrastructure that is managed by a service of some kind, all these things that exist for the common good – because we will all typically need them or need access to them at some point or for some reason in life – must be managed with decisions made for us all, on our behalf, for that same common good.

Politics, in its strictest sense, is the debate or discussion that surrounds the management of these ‘public services’ and the system or procedure of decision making that creates, reviews and oversees the implementation of the management strategy for all of these things.

It’s what happens beyond this basic need for the exchange of ideas and discourse – where decisions should always be made in a fair balanced and just way – where the problems really start to begin.

Why do we need Government?

For the purposes of understanding Awakened Politics, it is important to recognise that the terms ‘Government’, ‘Public Sector’ and ‘Public Services’ are all interchangeable terms.

They stand alone as terms to different people, depending on the perspective or experience of the individual.

In some ways they are arguably the same thing and in others they are very different. They are not in any way mutually exclusive.

In relation to Awakened Politics, Government itself is the decision-making body or if you like, the board of directors. It is the top of the management structure that makes the strategic decisions that the executive managers, administrative and technical staff (that make up the Public Sector and provide Public Services) then carry out.

We need and should be able to rely on government to ensure that decisions on our behalf are taken when they should be, and that their implementation into delivery and material form are then completed or continued in the way that they should be.

Who is The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government for?

Awakened Politics has been written with the UK Political, Government and Electoral Systems primarily in mind.

Whilst The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government is the fourth book in a series following ‘Levelling Level’, ‘The Basic Living Standard’ and ‘From Here to There Through Now’ that were also written and published in 2022, it could just as easily be the unexpected or unanticipated prequal, building on the way of thinking or methodology that was presented in the 2018 book ‘How to Get Elected’ too.

The fundamental basis of the idea or proposal made here is built upon an alternative ‘grassroots up’ system to the outwardly 4-Tier system of Government that we currently have in the UK.

However, the model of constructing Government or rather the way of selecting and appointing Politicians or Public Representatives suggested later could be applied to and implemented within different existing political spaces, if it were collectively decided to pursue The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government within the constituency or constituencies involved.

If you are reading this book, the chances are that you will either a) wish to see a system embracing Awakened Politics fully implemented where you are located, or b) Will be resistant to any process that will deliver it and a system of government or governance that will reflect it.

The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government has been written for people who are awakened to the need for all decisions on Public Policy to be made by others who are fully conscious or awakened to the realities of how life works.

Awakened Politics can only genuinely exist if we have Public Representatives who not only can but will translate and legislate in a way which makes sense of that understanding – and most importantly the realities of human nature – to ensure that we have governance that works responsively and proactively in a balanced, fair and just way for all.

Awakened Politics is for everyone and everything.

Part 1: Where we are today

Problems always begin with the way that we think

You may only be aware that there is something wrong with the world beyond our doors.

If the problems outside haven’t walked directly into your life and touched you yet, the chances are that your experience will tell you that whatever might be wrong, those kinds of problems will always get sorted out. That everything will ultimately be fine, and things as you know them, or what you have consider to be normal, will just carry on as they always have before.

It is certainly true that the UK and the World has been in a mess many times before. However, what we face now is likely to be different to anything that anyone has experienced in living memory. It has the potential to be far worse than anything that the history books that we have seen can tell us. We are now in the first stages of what will be inevitable change.

Contrary to the accepted or common view, the reasons for this change and the combination of problems that will lead to and be part of it, are not the events that happen that cause the real problems.

It is the way that we think, act and behave – and more importantly the way that our decision makers think, act and behave towards all events that have an impact upon all or a number of us, that really count.

Poor thinking, actions and behaviour in decision making leads to poor experiences of life.

Today’s Politicians are unconscious, unaware and asleep at the wheel. This means everything is out of control

The problems that we are facing today have been created little by little and step by step over a very long period of time.

Yes, you will read and hear many well-known public figures and people such as journalists attributing blame for everything to an existing Political Party like The Conservatives, Liberal Democrats or Labour; to events such as Brexit, The Covid Pandemic or even The War in Ukraine.

But the reality underpinning all of the problems that we have, the way that these Political Parties behave and the way that events such as Brexit, Covid and Ukraine have been dealt with too, is it has been the thinking, mindset, values, motives, integrity and understanding of the decision makers – The Politicians – when each and every decision has been made, that has led the UK and the World to be where we all are today.

Believe it or not, the pivot point between Politicians making good decisions on Public Policy or making poor decisions on our behalf comes down to their understanding of the difference between what’s right for them subjectively and what’s right for everyone objectively.

The problem with Politicians today is they either don’t understand the difference between what’s right for them vs what’s right for everyone, or they deliberately fail to discern between the two.

Either way, the result is very much the same. In the most basic of terms: Politicians are not making decisions based upon being fully aware and in full consideration of everything that is relevant to each decision.

Politicians make poor decisions and continue to make poor decisions because they believe that the methods of thinking, acting and behaving they have adopted culturally are acceptable, proper and therefore ok.

Politics will not change or even deviate away from this until Politicians change the way that they think, or we change the way that we think and elect Politicians who think differently.

Because decisions are not being made in the best interests of everyone, Politicians have and are still creating life experiences for increasing numbers of people – and potentially for us all – that are out of control.

Real people, living real lives and having real life experiences just like you and I are on the sharp end of this right now.

Politicians are unaware of the impact of the decisions they make, because they have no understanding of the lives that the majority of the population live

The reality of how the UK Political System and how British Politics is broken, can be more than adequately explained in the difference between having Politicians who are effectively unconscious or ‘asleep at the wheel’ as they are today, and the very distinct alternative of having Politicians who are fully conscious of the reasons for and the implications of everything they do.

It cannot be emphasised strongly enough, just how real the different consequences are and will be between what we already have and what we could have and should have in terms of decision making in the best interests of everyone and everything.

These differences will continue to exist for as long as we fail to embrace the necessary process of change, rather than continue to seek what look like easy alternatives.

All of the Public Policy decisions being made today and the decisions that have been made for decades have been made with highly subjective aims.

The aims or desired outcomes that led to these decisions may have been to appeal to the Voters who typically support the Political Party in or seeking power. They may have been to keep the Banks, The Markets and Big Business happy. They may have been to maintain or gain favour with the EU or the Government of a Country such as the USA. They may have been based upon what the government of the day decided that ‘they’ could afford (£).

Whatever the motives or drivers behind the decisions may have been, those motives have become preferential influences or biases.

This means that the decisions have been made without consideration of all the facts, impacts and consequences in mind – as they always should be.

Poor decisions made by Politicians, influenced by biases or fears that favour one thing or the aims or wants of certain people always disadvantage something else or other people in some way.

There is no in-between – irrespective of whether the result is publicly seen or unseen.

The impact of poor politics, poor Politicians & poor decisions in all areas of Public Policy: We have inequality, imbalance, injustice and unfairness creating winners and losers in life

The impact of Poor Politics or poor decision making, undertaken without due care and consideration of all the facts, consequences and what is balanced, fair and just, is what you see and experience when you look outward into the world in any way today.

If your own life and experience has not been touched in a way that is discernable to you personally so far, please do be grateful.

If your eyes are open to see beyond the narratives, you will witness problems, pain and suffering being visited upon innocent people and entire communities.

If you really want to see how Unconscious Politics and the Unconscious System of Government and Governance that we have is affecting people, you will not need to look very far.

The majority of the problems that people, communities and entire Countries face are unnecessary and could be avoided.

The UK ‘System’ of Governance and Public Services is now broken beyond repair

As is the case with most money-based or money-obsessed systems and their countries around the world, the UK ‘System’ is now broken beyond repair.

Along with the USA, the UK may soon prove to be just a little further ahead in the race towards the bottom and a final collapse.

But in real terms, the reality of having every government across the world led by sleepwalking Politicians and with Unconscious Politics will soon add up to the same thing. What we will personally experience in the form of massive change and a period of painful challenges lies ominously ahead.

Whilst the downward line of trajectory that successive UK Governments have subjected the UK to has been the same since the FIAT monetary system and unhindered globalism was arguably fully embraced in 1971, there have been many, if not countless opportunities when Politicians could have taken steps to lead and run ‘The System’ in a very different way.

As the thinking that the money-based order that the UK sits within has successfully reached everyone and everything, the belief in money as a thing, rather than money being just a means of exchange has moved the emphasis of modern life away from humanity and values to measuring and qualifying everything in terms of what you earn, what you can accumulate and what you can own.

We have now reached a point where the prioritisation of money, greed and the accumulation of wealth with easy living is so obsessive and the sickness about money and the role it plays in life so profound, we have reached and passed the point where ‘The System’ itself as we know it could be repaired.

Accepting second best and compromise as the only alternative to the Politicians we have today doesn’t work: It’s what we’ve tried doing for decades already

The giant step or quantum leap on the path of voluntary change is reaching the understanding and the acceptance that what we genuinely need from our Politicians and from Government now and for a better future will not simply be offered up to us on a plate.

There are plenty of wannabe politicians as well as existing politicians who can appeal to many of us as an alternative to what we already have right now.

Those who covet public roles, just like the Politicians in control today did so before they assumed power, will use words, use the media, use social media platforms and even look a certain way that sounds like or gives the appearance that once elected they would be different, do different things and take governance of our Country in a very different and beneficial way.

Regrettably, the majority of these people are or would be no different to the Unconscious Politicians that we have already got and would deliver Public Policy with the same biases and being subject to the same kinds of self-serving motivations and influences as Politicians we see sat as Conservatives, Greens, Liberal Democrats, Labour and the SNP already are.

For example, as I write this in late November 2022, the Political Party or Group known as ‘Reform UK’ which doesn’t currently have any seats in the UK or Westminster Parliament, is promoting itself as an alternative to the current government on the basis that it says it will stop illegal immigration via France across the English Channel – simply by ‘stopping the boats’.

Single issues are by their very nature single issues. That’s not what General Elections are about.

The existing Political Parties and the Politicians who appear to have credible policies that suggest they will solve the widest number of problems win General Elections, because their approach touches most areas of Public Policy.

However, the Parties that we have – even the ones we haven’t elected yet – do so Unconsciously.

The Political Parties and the Politicians we have, whether elected or not, do not understand, consider, make allowance for or think about the consequences of everything they touch for everyone who can be touched by what they do.

They are false prophets. With messages that appeal because something or some part of it looks or sounds great to enough of us in some way.

The reality is that they are Unconscious and have no appreciation of what their piecemeal involvement in Public Policy and legislating will really do.

There is no meaningful exception to this rule.

Noise isn’t action. Just because a problem is talked about, it doesn’t mean anything is being done

Because of the way that media, social media, the internet and the dissemination of information works today, our attention is all too easily distracted and diverted away from many of the things that we should really have much greater care for.

Meanwhile, the way that we have become conditioned to interact with the flow of information coming at us from the world outside of us or outside of our life bubbles also has the ability to add additional weight to events and to the influence of celebrity and people with public platforms in a disproportionate and therefore highly misleading way.

Regrettably, this has become an ingrained cultural problem to the point where many people believe that it is normal.

In respect of the issues that we really should be considering as important to us personally as well as communally, the result is that unless we are actually looking properly and not taking everything as read or at face value, we are missing the news, or when it reaches us, it comes with a wrapping of opinion that far exceeds its genuine value.

Unfortunately, we easily fall into the trap of believing that what we don’t hear about or what we don’t see doesn’t matter, and take for granted that when we do hear about anything, the fact that the information has come to us in some way means that solutions are already being found and that whatever is necessary is already being done.

Sadly, for all of us, this simply isn’t the case.

Money can only put the effects of problems on hold. It never addresses the cause

Because Political and Executive Decision Makers in the Public Realm either avoid or are ignorant of the complexity and interconnectedness of the issues and problems that they face on our behalf, it has become very easy to suggest and create the narrative that money and more of it is the answer to all things.

The problem with this approach isn’t only that money isn’t real – as we are all in the increasingly painful process of finding out.

It is that when the money lie is working, providing more of it just has the effect of putting the problems – or rather the causes of the problems – on hold.

Money itself never addresses the causes of problems, as even when money is apparently short, the question still remains ‘What was the cause of money being short?’

What is real, never changes in value.

Missing the point: The Devil is in the Detail

We are all guilty of having allowed ‘The System’ to degenerate and for things to have become as bad as they are. Because as a majority, we take it for granted that the way that everything works is as straightforward as we believe and think.

Politicians are the same as the majority of us. Before they are elected or appointed, the majority of them have been looking at and interacting with life in exactly the same ways.

There is nothing different about most of them that makes them better able to deal with Public Policy and managing the things that are important to all of us in any different way.

What Politicians, senior executives in the Civil Service and in Local Government fail to recognise, because they have no experience, acceptance nor understanding of the wider picture, is how the services, creation and running of infrastructure or anything to do with the Public Sector interconnects with not only so many other areas of Public Policy, but has a direct impact on so many different areas of life for so many different people, businesses and organisations too.

Public Policy is made today, as it has been for a very long time, based on dealing with the effects of issues or problems.

Decision makers are either unaware of or deliberately avoid dealing with the cause.

The complexities and interconnectedness of Public Policy & Governance require a way of thinking and an outlook on life that today’s Politicians just don’t have

Regrettably, the way that culture and society work today with the messages, narratives and programming that it provides, has left or is encouraging everyone not only to believe that they know and understand everything, but that armed with this seemingly ubiquitous knowledge they are being told that they have, they can then do or be whatever they want, without fear of consequence and without any kind of cost.

Thinking is not ‘joined up’. There is no recognition of the relationship between work, effort, commitment and integrity.

The journey or process takes place from start to finish without any kind of meaning to the result for anyone and least of all the individual.

The ease with which things appear at the click of a link or push of a button compounds this lack of awareness into the failure to appreciate the complexity of the systems and the procedures that make everything work around us and just how many different roles or contributions can and are being made in order that what seem to be the most basic of products or services are accessible to us or reach us on what we have learned to regard as throw away terms.

Public Policy and the system of governance that we have is no different.

In fact, what we fail to realise and appreciate far beyond the complexity of the relationship between input and reward and ease of accessibility of all things, is everything that seems to be so easy has come to be taken for granted in these ways because decision makers are either blind to or are deliberately ignoring the real costs of living life unsustainably.

The self interest and greed that has influenced the decision makers is allowed to permeate the whole public narrative, because our decision makers believe that they will benefit even more if they acquiesce with an approach that apparently comes without any cost to them, but with every benefit too.

Few of us will willingly recognise or accept the costs of unsustainable living, until such time as those costs reach us directly or have an effect on us in some way where we accept that the perceived disadvantages outweigh the perceived benefits in a meaningful way.

There are consequences to every decision made in the Public Realm.

Each Public Policy affects other Public Policies, is or will be affected by other Public Polices in some way.

Public Policies that govern the way that businesses and organisations behave and conduct their business, as well as how each of us as individuals think, have the power to have either positive or very negative implications for us all.

Everything our Politicians do has a cost, implication or consequence in some way. Especially when they surrender the power that the Electorate or that Voters have given them, to people, to ideas or to 3^rd party organisations that are or have their own agenda, and therefore subjectively influence them.

Our Politicians are making a mockery of the democratic system. Many of them are willfully blind to the consequences of their actions. But whether their actions are deliberate or borne of ignorance, the fact is that they have taken roles that require awareness of everything that Public Policy does and that it touches, and that when they fail one of us, they fail all of us just the same.

Can the problems we have with Government & Politics be solved?

Yes. All of the problems that we have with Government and with Politics can be solved.

The question really should be whether the majority of people want those problems to be solved or whether they will accept and where possible embrace the changes to everything that we know today that would allow for all of the problems that we collectively share to be solved.

Part 2: The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government

We can solve all shared problems if we have Good Government

A system of Awakened Politics, leading to the implementation and continuance of Good Government will allow for all societal or problems shared across the community, where The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government is fully implemented and comprehensively or universally responsible to be solved.

However, it is important to understand that the solutions to today’s problems that The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government offers will not be to everyone’s liking.

Some, perhaps those we currently recognise as just the few, have much to gain from maintaining a system which continues to benefit only some at the expense of all others and mitigates this in very inhuman ways.

In terms of Awakened Politics and Good Government, what does Awakened mean?

In terms of Awakened Politics and Good Government, to be Awakened quite literally means to be fully aware, considerate of and making allowance for the impact and consequences of the choices or the decisions that are about to be made for everyone and not just those who appear to be the only ones that decision will affect.

It is important to understand that intelligence, education, position or anything else that ‘defines’ anyone as being different does not make anyone ‘Awake’, fully ‘Conscious’, or enlightened, and this is particularly so in the case of the Politicians we have today.

How is Awakened or Conscious Politics different when we are all awake or conscious anyway?

Medically or physiologically speaking, yes, if you are reading this page, you are ‘conscious’. Also, in these same ‘literal’ terms, you are likely to be physically ‘awake’ too.

What some people may not realise, or indeed, what many of the people around them may not realise is that what they currently understand to be conscious or to be awake is only partially so.

In terms of absolutes, people may not be ‘Conscious’ or ‘Awake’ at all, if there are things going on in the world around them or that are contributing to the experience that they are having that they are neither conscious of or aware of in any way.

That absence or lack of awareness most often exists in terms of peoples understanding of themselves. Why they feel the way they do about things. Why they react the way that they do. Why they are motivated in the way that they are. And how experiences they have themselves affect and influence them in their future – usually without them giving the matter any thought.

If a person is not fully aware of or can make consideration of, or allowance for everything that is going on in a situation over which they are making some kind of judgement or a decision, they are not ‘Awake’ to or ‘Conscious’ of everything that is going on. They will therefore be making that decision or judgement unconsciously.

Politicians are not and have not been making decisions consciously. If they were and had been, the world today and the experience that we are all having of it would be very different in just about every conceivable way.

What is Awakened Politics?

Awakened Politics is the assessment, creation, proposal and pursuit of new and improved Public Policy and Community or Social solutions that are based upon, built and evolved from the point of decision-making taking place under a condition of full awareness and consideration for all factors involved, driven by the unequivocal pursuit of fairness, balance and justice, and what is in the best interests of all members of the relevant constituency involved.

As a minimum, the attributes, experience and qualities of any Awakened Politician will include their ability, commitment and will (and in no order of prioritisation):

To be fully self-aware.
To be human and to prioritise humanity, conscious thinking, actions, behaviour and life above all ‘things’.
To treat all other human beings as equals, in thought, in word and in deed.
To be able to see, understand and value all sides of an argument or dispute and undertake to always access all the information necessary and from enough sources to make a fully reasoned judgement, even when circumstances are fraught or pressurised.
To take all decisions on Public Policy based upon what is known to be at that moment, not on the basis of what could be, what might be or what if?
To make decisions that run contrary to public and media opinion or subjective narratives, even when they might appear to reflect the zeitgeist or common view.
To recognise and discern the needs, impacts upon of the person or upon persons they are least likely to identify with and treat them the same as if they were themselves that same person and have nothing in life to support them beyond the person that they are.
To not be intimidated by the perceived power and the different circumstances of any other.
To be able and willing to ask questions which lead to understanding of impact, motives, circumstances and likely outcome from all perspectives.
To understand and respect the realities of human nature in all things and in all circumstances.
To see, volunteer for, promote and live the role of being a Public Representative as a calling or as a vocation. Not as a job or a career.
To recognise the role of money, currency and all systems of payment as a method only and not as being a ‘thing’ in any sense.
To be the voice and reasoning of the third parties who are not present or represented, or are not ‘in the room’.
To be able to empathise without being emotionally compromised or without becoming emotionally entrenched, or to recognise and act accordingly when they are.
To have a rudimentary understanding of how business, organisations, economics and the regulations and regulatory system that governs the activities of them all work.
To have practical experience of working with and leading a range of different people in different working environments and circumstances.
Understand, question and asses the motives for something being proposed
To uphold the correct decision, even when it may not be popular to do so.
Understand and make allowances for their own biases, aims and desires
Understand the practical implications in terms of desired outcome (advantages) and the undesired outcomes (disadvantages)
Be able and prepared to reject proposals and solutions that create imbalances that are not essential for the greater good
To see their role through impartially at all times, particularly when under pressure from subjective influences that seek to compromise the objective nature of any decision-making process
To practice the Principle of Charity in every conceivable and valid way.
To be able to be a leader, even when being led.
To understand or make allowances for the positive and negative behavioural effects of a decision
To understand the impact of circumstance and relativity to conditions for people in all circumstances and situations.
To be able to consider and visualise the impact and consequences of Public Policy decisions up to as many times removed as necessary, upon people, upon businesses, upon orgnisations, upon existing Public Policies and upon the relationship between us all and with all others.
To be able to make arguments based upon being constructive, improving proposals or suggestions already made, or making clear the flaws in such proposals or suggestions that may not be apparent to whoever initially made them
To be able to determine exhaustively the difference between wrong and right based on the freedom of the individual to be, in relation to the freedom of all others to be, set against the needs of the community to provide public services and support that is accessible to everyone in the same way, when required, on a universal basis and no more.
To be able to assess and understand the process of conditioning that creates innate or unconscious prejudices as well as those which the person is aware of, and how these influence behaviour and impact society when that person has an influential role. They will be particularly aware and conscious of any such prejudices within themselves.
To be able to look beyond the detrimental behaviour of any individual group and consider their needs impartially, as they would do any other individual or group
To be committed to localisation, deglobalisation and the priority of the community, our communities and our Country, from the grassroots up.
To be committed to working collaboratively with all other nation states for reason of mutual benefit without relinquishing or surrendering political control to any person, organisation or government of any type that would have the ability to create, impose or police governance of any kind upon people, businesses, organisations or public bodies of any kind that they themselves are responsible to and have been elected to represent.
To see and treat Government, Governance and The Public Sector as tools of facilitation to be used on behalf of The Public for the Public and Greater Good, and that they are not and should not ever be treated or considered to be an entity that can prioritise itself or its existence in any way or at any time.
To never surrender the power to decide on behalf of the relevant constituency that has been entrusted to them to any Political Party, Ideology, Social or Demographic Group, subjective interest or bias of any kind, for the full period of their elected or appointed term, or until the moment they have chosen to relinquish that responsibility and formally stepped down.

And more.

What is Good Government?

Good Government is the creation, implementation and review of governance systems and public policy with impartiality, balance, fairness and consideration to the implications for all, from the creation of strategy to individual policy and ongoing at the point of operational delivery.

The approach of those working as Public Servants (Civil Servants, Local Government Officers, Public Sector Workers) of every kind as a part of Good Government will always as a minimum include:

Treating every Member of the Public as an equal and value them as being exactly the same when it comes to the service, solutions and outcomes that they offer or provide.
Being minded that the function of Government and the Public Sector is to serve the best interests of the Public and the relevant community above all things
Being minded that the organisation, department, or service that they are employed by is not an entity in its own right and that the priorities of that organisation, department, service or of their own, must never be placed before the best interests of the public and the communities they serve.
Being self-aware enough to know and to step away from prioritising their own needs, fears, desires or aims in relation to the role that they have, when they have the ability or function that will allow them to do otherwise

The reform of The Public Sector and of Public Services that was already necessary before we entered the current period of crisis MUST begin with the reform of Public Policy via Awakened Politics. Then and only then can the structure, working practices and cultural models of what will constitute Good Government and the delivery of Public Services in the most appropriate and relevant ways be able to begin.

How does Good Government work?

Good Government requires that all policy makers, legislators, executives and officers at every level and of every kind fulfill the requirements and expectations of their role and/or responsibility with awareness and understanding of the impact and consequences of their decisions and actions both directly and indirectly, no matter how many times removed.

The consideration given will always be reflective of the level of responsibility involved. For instance, an MP or government minister should always have fluency in understanding the impact of public policy on all end users, whether their role be personal, professionally representative or pecuniary in a practical and/or material sense.

Beliefs or emotional well being – which could also be considered to be taste or appearance is always specific and therefore subjective to the individual concerned, can only be addressed effectively at the individual level itself and Good Government will always therefore allow for catering for specific requirements at the one-to-one level, where decisions made by officers can and will only impact upon the individual concerned.

It is the framework or overriding commonality of structural policy which is the most essential element of Good Government.

The whole principle of Good Government and its overlap with Awakened Politics is that it should never be argued for, created or delivered on the basis that someone is this or because someone is that.

Awakened Politics and Good Government succeeds by delivering on the basis that it treats everyone equally and exactly the same, or supports this same principle by excluding the circumstances where this principle can be compromised.

Any policy which does or could play to alternative thinking is self-serving in some way – even if it appears to positively discriminate in favour of a particular group.

Isn’t The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government just being idealistic?

No, Awakened Politics isn’t just being idealistic.

Although many people would argue that it is idealistic to think that everyone could think, act and behave ‘Consciously’ or in an ‘Awakened’ or enlightened manner all the time.

The thing to always bear in mind about The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government, is that it is the thoughts, actions and behaviour of decision makers, legislators, executives, administrators and technical staff of all kinds that will deliver a Fair, Balanced and Just system for all.

The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government is not dependent upon each and every one of us thinking, acting and behaving in an Awakened, Conscious or enlightened manner all of the time.

The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government requires that those who have taken up a role that is publicly responsible on our behalf are not only able, but will think, act and behave Consciously and in an Awakened way in everything that they do when they are fulfilling the responsibilities of that publicly related role.

Can Awakened Politics exist within the current political system?

Yes, Awakened Politics can exist within the current Political System.

In fact, to a very small degree you can be sure that it does. Even now there are a few Politicians who really do think, act and behave as a fully Awakened Political system would require that each and every one of them would do so.

However, acting either alone or in isolation means that when any Public Policy is delivered and implemented in a way that genuinely ends up being for the genuine greater good, the outcome is down to pure luck, a lack of interest on the part of other Politicians, or because those other Politicians believe that to support such a Policy will help or enrich them or some subjective interest in some way.

The foundations of Awakened Politics are self-awareness, awareness of others, values, integrity and humanity

It seems incredible that the concept and existence of an alternative values-driven world to the one we currently live and believe in must be explained. But this is where the world is and where we really are today.

The fundamental basis of Awakened Politics and therefore Good Government, is always doing the right thing for everyone, even when they are not present and represented, or it would appear that they will not be affected by whatever our Politicians are about to do.

Awakened Politics and Good Government is about valuing People or the Person, and the experience they are having, more than what is outside all of us, or what we might know as ‘things’.

When we can care and understand about ourselves, we can care and understand about others – or choose not to do so, if that should be our own genuine choice.

Politics and Government by its very nature and purpose is the care, service to and consideration of all others and the governance of all things that are external to or outside of them.

This care, service and consideration must always be provided by people who are thinking, acting and behaving in a Fully Conscious way when taking or enacting that responsibility for others.

There is and can be no in between. Or somebody, somewhere will always be failed.

The Golden Rule: Good Government is a method of facilitation and delivery. It is not an entity in itself

One thing that will always be important to remember and bear in mind is that no matter how powerful any Council, Parliament, Assembly, Non-Government Organisation (NGO) or related Public Service Provider might be, that body, organisation or department is and only ever will be a tool, device or service for action and delivery on behalf of the Public for the genuine greater good.

These Public-serving organisations will never be an entity in their own right.

Public-serving bodies and organisations must never be allowed to be able to make their own policies or set strategies of any kind that prioritise their own existence or that of their staff or members above or before the interests of the Public and therefore the People they have been created to serve.

Whilst todays Politicians are either ignorant of, deliberately avoid or are therefore Unconscious of the truth, much of the problems with Public Services of all kinds today are reflective of this golden rule about the existence of Government and the services it provides to the Public in some way.

Good Government is a question of priorities

In the most basic of human terms, we can either prioritise what is inside of us or who we really are, or we can prioritise what is outside of us and what we appear to be or have means to everyone else.

Good Government will always prioritise the Person and humanity first and in all things.

It’s what a politician thinks of and does for the person they least identify with that really matters for Fairness, Balance and Justice in Government to exist

Diversity, alternative Political Philosophies and differences in Politics don’t promote or guarantee fairness and balance.

Anyone appointed to a position of influence and authority because of the physical, material or ideological difference they have with others is more likely to prioritise those who they most closely identify with – or for want of a better term, prioritise the interests of ‘those of their own kind’.

The benchmark of any system of government and the political system that facilitates or leads it being truly representative, Fair, Balanced and Just, is what the politician or political decision maker does on behalf of the person they know least about, have least in common with or are least likely to understand.

A system of government cannot and will not work in the best interests of all, if it doesn’t consider and treat fairly, justly and without bias of any kind, even the very people we might consider that we have every reason want excluded in some way or to despise.

If you have read this and immediately think of someone or some group of people that you feel to be undeserving of the same care and consideration that you for yourself would like, you can now use that feeling and emotion to understand how any system of governance and politics will quickly be undone.

Good Politicians MUST be Judged by the results of their actions. NOT by their words, what they appear to do, or how they might look

It is easy to see why Political Parties now fall over themselves to secure Candidates for Elections who already have a name, such as celebrities or people who have for some reason been publicly recognised as a champion of some specific cause or in some other way.

‘They are this’, ‘They are that’, are the words or the thinking that accompanies the thought processes of today’s Politicians and Political Parties when they select and appoint their Candidates – often for ‘Seats’ that they already consider to be theirs to allocate and that they therefore ‘Own’.

What the Political Parties today don’t think or worry about, is what the Politicians they effectively appoint would actually do, or indeed, what they have actually already done.

Words are just words. Whether spoken, written or even typed up or presented to the public through a screen, on a page or through a public meeting somewhere.

If we really want an idea of what any Politician can offer us or what they will bring, we must think differently about the way that they have been appointed, and the pathway that has delivered them into a publicly representative role.

What politicians have already done, rather than what it looks like what they have done or what they or someone else tell us they have done, is the best indication of what they will do.

Real research doesn’t stop at a title or at a headline. It takes time. But when one person must be trusted to think, behave and act Consciously for so many, it is essential that we too made that selection Consciously and being Conscious of all the facts and realities that underpin who they really are. Not how they or anyone else would like us to think.

People will always tell you who they are. They will also do so very quickly, as long as you make the effort to hear as well as listen.

Awakened Politics tackles today’s problems today and is mindful of the future. But it leaves the past behind

It may surprise many that most of the decisions made in Public Policy are based on what Politicians want the world to look like in the future using what’s already happened in the past as their guide.

Because the past triggers what we know as guilt, whilst the future triggers what we know as anxiety too, Politics and Politicians today are fueled by emotions.

When emotions are in charge of decision making, no form of Awakened, Conscious or Enlightened thinking and the genuine care that comes with it has any hope of shining through.

Yes, lip service can and will always be paid to ‘good thinking’ in a world where what everything looks like is firmly in control. But the end results will never turn out as anyone intended, simply by design.

Emotions don’t dwell in the moment itself. They are the sirens of another time and place, which is irrelevant to the moment in which we make the decision to act.

For Good Government to do its work beneficially for everyone, the decision making of Awakened Politics will always be conducted in the here and now.

Yes, there are those of us who will always respond to this by proclaiming ‘There has to be a plan!’. But it is because we have become so obsessed with ‘plans’ and trying to control the future, that we have completely lost control of what is happening around us and around the world right now.

The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government will solve our problems

When all Public Policy decisions are made impartiality, with integrity, with respect to the laws of cause and effect, and with what is in the best interests of everyone in mind, in the moment and without trying to second guess or prevent certain outcomes of any kind, those decisions will always be right.

Doing the right thing is not always easy, especially when there may appear to be simpler, more cost effective or even more reliable or proven ways. The cost of doing the right thing in everything never creates problems or comes at a price that isn’t just or is unfair, whilst failing to do so will always cost someone, somewhere and more often than not, that cost to others will become cumulative in many different (unforeseen) ways.

Just as one lie requires many more to cover its path, poor decisions in politics require many more to cover them up.

The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government would mean that everything will be done the right way at the right moment in time. Doing so shines light on what also needs to be changed for the better, rather than requiring more and unnecessary action to cover bad policy up.

The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government is a method, way or direction. It is not a manifesto, strategy or fixed agenda in itself

The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government is not and cannot be a political philosophy or a set of specific objectives or aims in itself.

Like being awake or being conscious in itself, The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government is a way or state of being, or method that can and will be applied to Politics and Government in a comprehensive or universal sense.

Compromise isn’t necessary when everyone does the right thing for everyone

Perhaps the acid test or most accurate way to confirm if Public Policy is being created or revised through Awakened Politics by Awakened Politicians.

Anyone who has been active within Politics at any level or employed in any role or profession allied to Politics or Government of any kind, who believe the way that it all functions is ‘normal’, will certainly scoff at or ridicule the idea that compromise isn’t necessary in order for everything to work.

The point is being missed by them, and by anyone who believes that anything about ‘The System’ works as it should, that compromise is nothing more than ‘the middle ground’ and an agreement to disagree.

Any matter of Public Policy that is determined by Awakened Politicians would not require a middle way.

By its very nature, bias against the shared aims of Balance, Fairness and Justice for All, founded on the principle of humanity and life first, doesn’t exist. If and when it does, it indicates the presence of thinking and a way of being that functions in a different way.

Part 3: The bridges we must cross to reach Awakened Politics

The biggest obstacle on The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government is our own unconscious thinking

Changing from a system of government that doesn’t work in everyone’s best interests to one that does should be very easy. Don’t we all look after our own best interests after all?

However, without an external event or series of external events taking place that really forces the majority people to stop and think and awaken, a course of voluntary change will take a very long time.

People who see, experience and believe there is nothing bad about the unconscious System that we have will not willingly embrace an Awakened System of Governance that they will inevitably see as likely to cost them or create a loss for them in some material or money-based way.

People are so intoxicated with the current system that revolves around Money and self-interest, there is very little understanding, acceptance or appreciation of how the values set that we have culturally adopted hurts us all as individuals.

Awakened Politics & Good Government cannot exist where other influences are at work

For Politics and Government to be fully Awake, it is absolutely essential that the sanctity of the relationship between Voters and Public Representatives is uncorrupted and remains incorruptible.

The greatest travesty that exists within our so-called democracies today is the role and influence of Big Business, ‘The Markets’, Banks and ‘The Financial Sector’.

It has become very clear through the chronology of political events in the UK during the Autumn of 2022 alone, that our Politicians are actively prioritising ‘what the markets want’, above doing whatever is in the best interests of everyone else.

The reality that this action effectively rubbishes or gives the lie to The UK being a democratic Country aside, this evidence does in itself spell out that care and consideration for the impact of decisions are only being made on purely a financial or rather monetary policy basis.

Government decisions are not being made on a public policy basis. This means that issues created by the very real ‘cost of living crisis’ are being treated as nothing more than an afterthought at best, if they are really being thought about by Politicians in any meaningful way at all.

Awakened Politics isn’t fully Conscious or Enlightened if any bias or subjective influence is present or at work, either for the individual Politician, for any Political Group or Grouping to which they may belong, or indeed within the Council, Parliament or Assembly of whatever kind it might be, to which each and every elected Politician once elected belongs.

The relationship between Voter and Public Representative (Politician) will always be ultimately based upon trust. But that doesn’t mean we cannot or shouldn’t have a political and electoral system that reduces the instances where corruption of any kind cannot be limited to a point where it will not be easy to hide and where it can be readily detected or seen.

The UKs broken Political System: Straight to the top must stop

No, of course the Prime Minister of this Country doesn’t just end one day as a normal person and find themselves PM the next day. But the pool of politicians that every British Prime Minister is drawn from – that’s currently the 650 Constituency Members of Parliament (MPs) pretty much can.

MPs literally are at the top of the UKs political tree and its certainly not unknown for MPs to be elected in their 20’s, with very little experience of life and the only experience of working has been in organisations which are closely aligned or feed into the political system in the UK as it is and has for a long time been.

Age itself is certainly no guarantee of what any MP can offer and the very regrettable truth is that many older and supposedly better informed or experienced new MPs offer a very myopic or subjective view of life, are also driven by politics being ‘a career’, and have no real understanding or experience of life that has enabled them to ‘step into someone else’s shoes’, when it comes to making judgments over policy decisions which will inevitably have a profound impact on life for many people in a way they are simply unequipped to visualise, empathise with or even constructively think about.

You cannot provide Conscious Government or even have functioning Conscious Politics if the politicians or representatives involved in any public debate cannot or choose not to relate to the reality that people, communities and organisations already face and what they will face as a result of whatever decision that is about to be made.

Money related bribes are not the only kind corruption that exists

One of the flaws of the English Language and the way that it has evolved, is the manner in which we freely attribute different meanings to the same word. People then fall into the trap of failing to recognise the different uses and then see others as being wrong when they have used that word in what we see as an incorrect way, or more likely they have used that word in a way that their experience tells them is correct, but which ours then tells us is wrong.

There are many examples. The meaning of one word in particular that can create such a misunderstanding and become one of the barriers we face to understanding why we have an urgent need for Awakened Politics and Good Government, is corruption.

In the Western world, we generally consider the word corruption to equate to illegal or unofficial financial payments, backhanders, the exchange of brown envelopes or what we most commonly know as bribes; all using money or a resulting financial payment or pecuniary benefit of some kind.

Corruption isn’t just about money. In fact, any act which is undertaken by a decision maker or person with influence or responsibility of a public or legally recognisable kind, that aims to secure a result or outcome that favours themselves or the interests of someone or something they favour, is itself corrupt.

In terms of or in comparison to so-called Third World Countries, ‘banana republics’, other less ‘developed’ economies and even globally known group organisations where bribes using money are regrettably all too recognisably widespread, Western Countries and their governance may not outwardly appear to be in any way the same.

However, decision making that favours a specific group, a specific interest, a specific Political Party, a specific idea or indeed a specific or subjective outcome of any kind – right down to something such as career advancement or the job security of the individual, is arguably even worse.

This form of sanitized, prejudicial corruption is rampant throughout the Western world today. But its impact and ramifications are even less likely to be detected or openly seen – even though they are arguably often far worse. Beyond the obvious, prejudicial corruption creates injustice at the quality-of-life level for those on an honest path, that defy logic and sense.

Making others wrong, doesn’t make anyone right

Perhaps the biggest obstacle to Awakened Politics, beyond the cultural obsession with money itself, is the underlying and emotional need and driven desire on the part of so many people to make others wrong, in the misplaced belief that it somehow then makes them right.

Just because we can look better, sound better, communicate better, influence 3^rd parties more effectively, or do anything that can ‘win’ the argument, it doesn’t necessarily follow that the argument, proposal or solution that we have made is right.

Winning an argument or debate in this way certainly doesn’t confirm that the outcome or consequences will be in the best interests of everyone that it then becomes the route that everyone involved then takes, or that it becomes the policy or agenda that is then adopted.

We are the sum of our experiences. And from the perspective of every individual, our view of the world is based on our past – whether we are Conscious of this or any part of this fact.

In the subjective environment of a debate, discussion or argument, we may well reach the conclusion or even agree that one of us is right. But that doesn’t make the other party wrong.

Objectively and to step into the way of Awakened Politics, Conscious Politics or even Enlightened Politics, each of us – and especially our Politicians, must be humble enough to accept that we do not know everything, no matter how confident of the credibility and value of the experience that we already have, and which has made us who we are.

There is nothing worse than people being so sure of what they do know, that they have no idea of what they don’t.

Power and influence doesn’t automatically make someone right either, even though it will certainly help those who do not value the responsibility they have to others that comes with that power and influence to convince many other that they most certainly are.

Why is Awakened Politics not active and flourishing as it should be within Government today?

Awakened Politics and Good Government doesn’t exist within ‘The System’ today, because ‘The System’ itself is skewed too far towards indulging and pandering to the biases of anyone or anything that is able to influence the leaders and Politicians that we currently have.

Yes, there are certainly a few Politicians around who ‘are in it’ for all the right reasons – i.e., they are thinking about and wish to fight for what is good and what is right for everyone. But Awakened Politicians are certainly few and far between, right now.

There is certainly a much greater number of people that arrive in the entrance hall of todays Political System with good intentions. They join the Political Parties and become Candidates in elections at all levels of Government.

Regrettably and more often than not, they discover the realities of just how broken and undemocratic ‘The System’ just as soon as they are elected and have experienced the very tip of the iceberg from within. They are all too easily corrupted by the realities that Politics today isn’t about achieving what’s best for all and that you have to submit to the unconscious and corrupt nature of ‘The System’ if you want to progress and fit in.

Sadly, the reality is that the rot and chaos caused by so much unconscious thinking within the decision making and governance processes over such a prolonged period of time, has made it seem or feel all but impossible for anyone who looks objectively at the problem, its causes and effects, to believe that life can be lived in any other way.

However, all that is wrong with ‘The System’ is based on just that – belief.

So, if belief and thinking can be changed or is changed and reaches a critical mass that transforms ‘The System’ so that it works and operates in a completely different way, the power of groupthink will certainly do its magic. Only this time, it will be for the good and benefit of us all.

Good Government vs what we have today = People & Life vs Money & self-interest

For as long as the majority of people unconsciously or without thinking believe that they continue to benefit from the way that the world works today, and that those benefits outweigh what they understand to be any disadvantages for them, we all remain condemned to a world and future that will be increasingly unfair, unjust, imbalanced and a champion of pain and hatred in places where such darkness has now natural right to be or to even be seen.

That is the world today. This is where we really are. And if you cannot feel, see or experience the unfairness yourself, that quite literally means that you continue to unconsciously believe that it is ok for someone else to be disadvantaged, for them to suffer, or for you to even store up disastrous consequences for yourself that are ‘out of sight and out of mind’.

Many of us neither see, nor realise that the way we have all been living for decades and beyond is not sustainable and never has been.

We have been living unsustainably without any apparent, perceptible cost for so long, that we have all fallen into the trap of thinking that this is normal, and this is how things will always be.

The current System, mindset and way of thinking is based on feeding a manufactured or created desire for pleasure. Not happiness.

The world System functions to keep as many of us as possible blinded to our reality by providing us with a constant flow of instant hits.

Yet the cost to us all, of this money and self-interest-based system or order has and will increasingly be the compromise and destruction of our physical, mental and spiritual health.

We are quite literally living and existing within lives which run completely contrary to who we are and who we should continually be striving to be, just because of our relationship with two things:

MONEY & SELF-INTEREST

If you are able, take a moment to reflect upon how money and its bedfellow’s wealth, greed, material gain and self-interest itself have an influence or an effect on just about everything in life that is outside or external to ourselves.

Then reflect on the reality, that this thinking touches everything outside of us in just about every way, and it does so and can only do so, because we have allowed our thinking to be taken over so that everything could become this way.

Yes, you, I and everyone else has surrendered their power to this material driven world and continue to do so each and every day in even the very smallest of ways.

But we have the ability to take that power back. We can reject the desire that we have for instant gratification or pleasure that is only touches us momentarily from outside, but is nonetheless used against us by the system that is supposed to serve us, but is in fact taking everything from us in every possible way.

Happiness is a state of being that cannot be influenced, created or installed by something that is outside of us. It is by being fully Conscious or self-aware of ourselves, that The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government will begin.

By being Conscious of ourselves, we then have the ability to be Conscious of the experience of life for others. We then have the ability to create and maintain a system of Awakened Politics and therefore Good Government too.

Good Government will work in the best possible way for everyone, because it will provide either the services, the rules & laws and the opportunities that everyone needs, rather than what each individual wants.

Could Awakened Politics work in the current structure?

Yes, Conscious Politics could work within the current political structure.

But for Politics to be fully Conscious, it would require everyone operating or functioning with the current political structure to change the way they think. To change the way they behave. To change the way they interact. To change their experience (and therefore step aside to allow people who are better suited to Conscious Politics to take over). To basically change everything that they are and currently do.

Existing Politicians and the Political Parties they are a part of will not step aside or change. They are unconscious of the impact of their presence and what the real cause of all the problems are that they are failing to address.

Wouldn’t politicians have to be ‘Spiritual’ for Awakened Politics to work?

The answer is NO.

Politicians do not need to be ‘Spiritual’ to be ‘Conscious’ and Good Public Representatives.

The term ‘Spiritual’ is massively overused. It is used inappropriately in many cases and within the circumstances to which and to the behaviour of those to whom it is applied.

Awakened Politicians cannot be qualified by the group they belong to, by their affiliations, by the qualifications or type of experience that they have.

Awakened Politics is not about what Politicians say. Awakened Politics is all about what Politicians actually do and how they do it too.

Being a good person in the most meaningful way is not something that is within the gift of any other person, group or organisation to qualify in another, in any way.

Being ‘Conscious’ or ‘Awakened’ is not about being better than anyone else. It’s about being the best we can be. About seeing everything as it really is and responding and then acting in the best ways that it is possible for us all to do so.

Nobody has to be part of anything or be qualified in some way by anybody or anything else to be the best that they can be in every possible sense.

Good Government can only be fully Conscious if it is both aware of and able to act upon every issue at the most local, community or individual level possible

We’ve all heard terms such as ‘Localism’ and ‘Devolution’ being used by todays Politicians.

Regrettably, the way that Politicians use these terms is misleading. The meaning Politicians use is intended to suggest that the Public Policies that they relate to are bringing Political Influence and Power back to local Communities, thereby giving people like you and I more of a say and therefore a bigger role.

What Localism and Devolution have really meant in reality, is the centralisation of power and influenced carved up differently or in an even less meaningful way than the attribution of Political Power and influence over the way that we are governed today, through the Government Tiers as they already are.

We don’t need Mayors, Police & Crime Commissioners or Regional Bodies or Boards of any kind. Especially not when the pretense suggests misleadingly that their presence somehow results in the Public, The Electorate or Voters being more involved or able to influence the decision-making process.

The Tiers of Government already exist in many areas across the UK that would be more than sufficient for power to be devolved in a very meaningful way. To a level where people could and would have a much greater level of influence and have a genuine say on day-to-day and real-life solutions to the issues that affect them.

The reason that Politicians in Westminster will not devolve power back towards the people using the existing framework of Government* is that everything they do is always about maintaining or increasing their level of control.

Awakened Politics and Good Government is based upon the decisions that affect us communally being made where it is best and most fitting for that decision making to be.

*There are currently up to four Tiers of Government in the UK. Beyond the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assemblies in Mainland UK, these are Parish & Town Councils, District Level Authorities (Borough and District Councils), County Councils and Parliament.

Having Political Awareness, a Political Conscience, being Politically Conscious or Politically Aware is not Awakened Politics, Conscious Politics or Enlightened Politics

Because of the way that we regularly attribute different meanings to the same words, it is important to be clear about the differences between Awakened Politics, Conscious Politics, Enlightened Politics and what are arguably similar everyday terms such as to be ‘Politically Aware’ and have ‘Political Awareness’ or to be Politically Conscious or anything like that.

If you are ‘Politically Aware’ or ‘Politically Conscious’, you are thinking about, considering, observing and may even be involved in politics and are very likely to have your own ideas about what politics itself should achieve.

However, being ‘Politically Aware’ or Politically Conscious’ doesn’t mean that your involvement in Politics – in whatever way that might be or mean – is being conducted in an Awakened, fully Conscious or Enlightened way.

Wokeness and Woke Politics

Wokeness and being Woke in any related way is just being idealistic in a heightened or dangerously myopic way.

Woke idealism seeks to impose a specific and subjective value set on others unconsciously, as it pays no regard to alternative life experiences, practical reality and human nature in any meaningful way.

Wokeness is the promotion of the view that an idealistic narrative can be imposed upon everyone and then become the view accepted and ‘lived’ by everyone, making the objective the subjective and the subjective the objective for all.

Being Awakened, fully Conscious or Enlightened is knowing about, understanding, making allowance for and having a reasoned relationship with everything and everyone. It is not about excluding, erasing or destroying the things that make us uncomfortable or that we do not like.

Part 4: How do we make Awakened Politics a reality?

How do we make Politics truly representative of everyone?

If we really want Politics to be truly or genuinely representative of everyone, everyone must feel they are being represented genuinely and that their own truth is the place where the journey to the creation, review and change of public policy begins.

Anyone who pours scorn on the idea that you can or even should involve everyone in politics in some way beyond programming people or telling them what to do, is part of the problem we are moving away from.

They will not accept the validity or functionality of The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government as a worthy or legitimate cause.

For The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government to work effectively and as it should, it is essential that the people effected by decisions are able to access and interact with the people making the policy decisions.

In the limited cases where policy decisions being made affect people at an inter or intra community level (Regional, National etc.), those same people or others just like them should always have been directly involved in appointing the politicians upon whose shoulders that collective responsibility will be shoulders and the decisions made.

Cause & Effect: Awakened Politics leads to Good Government

If you require a very quick run through the technicalities and mechanics of why the majority of solutions to existing problems presented by politicians don’t work today, the mechanics of the travesty are quite simple.

Politicians today are not aware of, do not have a meaningful understanding of or are resistant in some way, to the relationship between cause and effect.

Everything Politicians do today is focused on dealing with the effects of a problem.

For example, when it comes to there being a shortage of people to fill low-paid jobs, some Politicians argue that the UK should allow more immigration of low skilled workers.

Yes, it sounds like a reasonable and sensible solution. But none of our Politicians outwardly ask the question or want to even begin dealing with the reality that there are already millions of people in the UK who could work, but are not working. People who might otherwise be able to fill some, if not all of these jobs.

We cannot and will not have solutions to the problems that we face together or communally – whether we are aware of them or not – if we do not have Politicians who not only understand the complex nature of creating and maintaining effective and balanced Public Policy, but are also prepared to have the difficult conversations and debates that will certainly offend those who would benefit from the current way of doing things to be maintained.

When the Political System itself becomes Conscious, it will lead to Good Government in every sense.

The process begins with us all being Conscious and making Conscious decisions about who Represents us Publicly and therefore is all about who we choose to elect.

How do we get from here to Good Government?

Good Government will come as a direct result of fully Awakened Politics.

Awakened Politics is only possible when the Politicians that we have can, will and do think, behave and act fully Consciously in everything that they think and do when they are representing others.

The most challenging obstacle to Awakened Politics today, isn’t changing the mind of individual politicians. Indeed, some ‘Awakened Politicians’ will already exist. But their number is very few.

The most challenging obstacle to Awakened Politics today is ‘The System’ itself.

‘The System’ is overwhelmingly focused and driven on the ‘money, wealth and self-interest’ motives.

When a system is so overwhelmingly skewed to work in such a twisted and selfish way, it literally means that everything within that system – whether it be procedures, rules, laws, cultural thinking or working practices – is built, created or has been adapted to promote that same way of thinking for everyone.

A skewed system makes it very difficult for anyone to operate or act differently, even if the thoughts of the individual are not aligned with the practice itself.

Whilst it is always possible that everyone within ‘The System’ could change their mind and approach at the very same moment in time and embrace Conscious Thinking, behaviour and actions in every meaningful sense from there onwards, the reality is that not everyone will change their mind about everything they share or experience with others communally, unless something has happened which changes everything for everyone and makes them of the same mind.

Awakened Politics & Good Government will not work for everyone until every public representative works for Awakened Politics & Good Government

For every one of us that changes our way of thinking about how the world works and then embraces that change in every way we possibly can, humanity has already taken a giant leap forward.

However, for a society to exist that is Fair, Balanced and Just in every sense possible, and that has a System of governance which reflects that, it is essential that we have a Political System that is fully ‘Conscious’.

For our Political System to be ‘Fully Awake’, it necessarily follows that all of the Public Representatives, decision makers, legislators or Politicians within it must think, act and behave Consciously and in an Awakened manner too.

What would a fully Awakened Electoral System look like?

It is or would be possible for the current electoral and political systems to function Consciously and for all of the Politicians and Political Parties within it to think, act and behave in an Awakened way.

However, Awakened Politics done properly would not require Political Parties or any kind of process based on competition – or what is in effect a race to decide whose ideas are best.

Equally, the existing Tiers within the UK Government System mean that it is quite literally the case that the people or Politicians making the most far-reaching or profound decisions that affect us all are likely to be the most difficult for us to reach, for us to know or for us to interact with.

For Awakened Politics and therefore Good Government to exist and then to work effectively, it is essential that none of our decision makers are insulated from different realities and the life experiences of the people they govern.

It is impossible for anyone make potentially life-changing decisions on behalf of The Public to be able to function or operate with a number of different people or levels of communication between them and Voters, effectively making them many times removed.

Awakened Politics is beyond any need for Political Parties

By its very nature the pursuit of a political, economic or other kind of ‘ideal’ or ‘philosophy’ by any group, whether political or not, is in the interests of that group or what they specifically share in common. It is not in the ‘best interests of all’, because it prioritises outcomes that are aligned with those beliefs, aims or the philosophies that are shared by that group, or that group and its affiliates alone.

Doing the right thing for everyone, and by necessity using the benchmark of care for the people a politician will have the least in common with, doesn’t require any ideal or philosophy other than doing the right thing by and on behalf of everyone in the most Balanced, Fair and Just way.

Awakened Politics supersedes the biases and innate prejudices that flourish and take over within politically motivated groups that see outcomes being all about the routes or journeys to get there, rather than the right result being the most important thing.

If Politics is undertaken Consciously, Political Parties are therefore no longer necessary.

Awakened Politicians do not need to leverage ideals or philosophies to ‘do the right thing’.

Wouldn’t we just be better off with a Dictator taking the decisions that affect us all?

In the situation the UK and many Countries around the world are facing, there will already be many who would find the idea of a ‘no messing around’ dictator or authoritarian character ‘who gets things done’, to be highly attractive.

Indeed, during periods of world history where similarities exist between different times and what we are now experiencing within our own, people have found themselves very receptive and open to the idea of charismatic leaders who deliver a strong and compelling message that suggests that they and only they have the magic formula and the ability to put everything right.

When life gets really shit for a lot of people – as things are very likely to do so for the majority of us all very soon, it can be very easy to fall into the trap of believing what’s right for them is right for us too – or rather what looks like a win-win, will actually turn out to be a win-lose

Is it possible to have a ‘Good Dictator’?

The idea of a good, benevolent dictator can be as intoxicating as the most compelling political messaging, soundbites and propaganda. Particularly when the process of looking closely at the problems with our broken Political System will quickly demonstrate that meaningful decisions rarely happen by design, because individual politicians and Political Parties are always putting their election hopes and other forms of self-interest first.

However, like most things in Politics, Government and life generally, the realities of decision making are multilayered and nuanced to say the least. I.e., just because you can streamline the process of decision making, it still doesn’t guarantee that the person or in this case, the dictator will be making Conscious decisions which are good for us all.

Whether we begin The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government via the ‘Voluntary’ or are compelled to do so via the ‘Sudden Impact’ route, the practical reality is that at least temporarily and for a period of time, somebody – either an individual, or a very small group of individuals, will have to make and oversee the implementation of all of the key Public Policies that will make Awakened Politics and Good Government work, as it should.

By necessity, this is likely to require that we place our trust in someone to do this all for us.

To do otherwise will take significantly longer and may open the door to alternative forms of leadership and societal control that we really will not want or enjoy in any way.

As with the selection of Awakened Politicians for the future, this selection or choice will all boil down to one thing; the question of who and what will really work.

It will be by necessity the case that alongside the prevailing question of who we can trust not only to do the right things and to see them through, that they will also hand over power, once their tenure has ended and the fundamental basis of a Good Government System in in place.

Part 5: WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE AND HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY. Awakened Politics and Good Government will only come from us – not someone else doing it for us

We ALL have a role to play in The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government

For Awakened Politics not only to work, but to keep working and for it to lead to Good Government too, it is essential that we all play a very conscious part in selecting and appointing the Public Representatives or Politicians who will make decisions on our collective behalf.

It doesn’t matter how any of us may be different or may even be perceived as being different to others.

For Awakened Politics to work and function fully and effectively, we must see everyone as being fundamentally the same and being equal where the role of Government, of Governance and of the Public Sector itself is concerned.

Whilst the people we select, appoint or elect to be Politicians may be relatively small, it is essential that we create and maintain a structure of Government and an Electoral Process that feeds into it that ensures that Public Representatives are not only in touch with real life, but that the real-life experiences of all that need to feed into Public Policy are heard and valued as they should be.

To be able to view the people we elect differently and in a fully conscious way, we must begin by being fully conscious of ourselves and think differently about the relationship we have with our communities too.

The personal benefits of Awakened, Conscious & Enlightened Thinking

Few of us understand that seeking a never-ending line of temporary hits from the pleasures that the world will give us in the form of ‘things’ and as experiences, comes at significant personal cost.

In exchange for fleeting, temporary and transitory pleasures, we are surrendering our thinking, our humanity and ourselves.

Moments of pleasure will never replace a constant state of happiness and the peace that we can and will attain, if and when we put humanity and life first.

When we have attained a relationship with everything and everyone outside of ourselves, based on what’s Fair, what’s Just, what’s Balanced and what’s basically good for everyone in the situation, because it’s how we would all like to be treated in that situation – whichever of the roles we might play, we will all have very good lives and live life in a very good way.

It may appear to be materially poor in some ways in comparison to what we take for granted and consider to come without cost right now. But it will be a life and way of being that is both mentally and spiritually enriched. It can and will provide a level of wellbeing that no form of material wealth will ever afford.

Self-Awareness leads to Awareness of others

Most of us at some point in life will fall into the trap of believing that everyone else thinks like us. That in the same circumstances, they would choose to do and then do exactly the same things that we would do too.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

We are the sum of our experiences. And if we have not understood and learned from all the things that we have experienced, we are very likely to repeat any mistakes or poor decisions that we have made over and perhaps over again.

Self-awareness is achieved by taking the time and making the effort to ask why things happen, how they happen, what role we played in making them happen and asking all the questions about events which feel meaningful or create an emotional response for us.

The process of becoming self-aware is the way in which we equip ourselves to reach a place of understanding of life around us that steps beyond the simple process of attributing blame.

It sounds like a lot of work. But like most skills we learn and assimilate as we grow, once we have mastered the basic process, it is a skill that can very quickly become akin to muscle memory and help us in the very smallest, yet the most significant of ways.

For us to live, experience life and to survive, the reality is that we don’t need to be fully conscious or self-aware in terms of our metal being.

Indeed, many people have lived entire lifetimes and good lives too, without thinking deeply about anything they experience and without feeling any need to do so.

There’s nothing wrong with living a life with limited self-awareness, if the individual concerned isn’t making decisions or isn’t taking responsibility for the lives, experience and wellbeing of others. Especially when those others are going through experiences in life that those who have accepted responsibility for them do not properly understand.

Self-Awareness & Critical Thinking

Once we have learned to be or have become ‘self-aware’, in the sense of learning to ask the ‘How’, ‘Why’, ‘Who’, ‘What’ type questions of ourselves and the experiences that we have had and that have made us who we really are, we become much better equipped or enabled to look on the world outside of us in a much healthier and productive way.

Being self-aware is much more than just being ‘present in the moment’, being ‘mindful’ or practicing ‘mindfulness’*.

Self-awareness is about understanding who we really are, why we are that way, how we function and operate, and what we need to do or to improve to be the best person that we can possibly be.

The reality is that as Voters, we don’t need to practice self-awareness for The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government to exist, work and be maintained. But we do have a responsibility to ourselves and to anyone that we care about to ensure that anyone and everyone who has influence over our lives is thinking, acting and behaving in the way that they should be.

For a Fair, Balanced and Just System to exist, we must all contribute to the process that ensures that the decisions that affect us all and therefore the people them on our behalf, are making from a place where they are fully self-aware and have the integrity, diligence and commitment that follows and goes with it to be able to make Public Policy decisions that are in touch with and considerate of all of our very different lives.

To be able to engage in this process in a fully Awakened way, we must be able to observe, accumulate information and think critically too, as this is the way that we filter the information that comes to us, and how we ensure that the gaps in our knowledge are filled, if for any reason we do not then fully understand.

* Like most things of the self-help genre that are usually far more complex and require practical experience that goes way beyond intellectual understanding today, mindfulness has been packaged and repackaged many times over, so that personal growth can be sold as being easy. In reality, it is anything but.

Critical Thinking

Critical Thinking is the process we undertake to decern between what information is genuinely helpful to us to know, and what is not.

We take for granted that the sources of news and information that we follow are providing us with facts, when in many cases – particularly in respect of what we believe to be legitimate or ‘mainstream’ sources, the information they provide is anything but.

When you are able to ask the ‘Who’, ‘How’, ‘What’, ‘When’ and ‘Why’ type questions of yourself, and see the benefits to yourself of why it is always good for us to do so, you can then apply this way of thinking to the process of filtering all the information that comes to you in a much more reliable way.

For example, try watching, listening to or reading the same news story from a number of sources and pay attention to what comes into your view. ‘What’ are they telling you; is it fact, opinion, subjective or objective? ‘Why’ are they telling you this; ‘Who’ will benefit from you accepting what they say without question? ‘Who’ and ‘What’ is hidden from view? ‘How does someone gain or how have they been incentivised by any of this’? ‘Who’ will be disadvantaged by this; ‘How’ and in ‘What’ way?

As you begin the process of repeatedly knocking on this same door, it is just as important to view the secondary and tertiary and however many sources of news and information that you visit in the same way, and that you do not simply trust a source like the government or an apparently reputable brand just because of who they are. It is regrettably the case that they expect the majority of us to be asleep and will often exploit that fact – which makes what they are doing even worse.

When we approach the selection and appointment of Public Representatives with self-awareness and think critically about the information that greets us within that process, it will be much easier to discern between false prophets and pretenders and those who once elected, will deliver decisions on our behalf for Public Policy which is Fair, Balanced, Just and always done right.

REMEMBER: We all have a vital role to play in our systems of governance

If we have not engaged with and contributed meaningfully to the process of selecting the People who become our Public Representatives and Politicians, we have no genuine right of regress when the decisions that these same people have taken, or the responsibilities they have to us are neglected, and everything goes wrong.

Part 6: How The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government will happen

We could change to a system of Conscious Politics and Conscious Government right now, IF everyone of us were to change how we think about life and our relationship with everything and everyone outside of ourselves, in what we see as the world.

As you’ve probably already realised by reading this far, that’s very unlikely, given the way that the world works today.

In a reality where even now, as ‘The System’ we know is in the process of collapsing, so many people are not awake to the reality of what is going on around them because it hasn’t directly affected them yet, there are only two pathways that could put us on The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government.

The First Pathway

The first or preferred pathway, is the voluntary or step-by-step route. This revolves around each and every one of us rejecting the legitimacy and benefit of ‘The System’. Then asking all of the right questions and doing all the right things that we either can or feel able to, to provide others with the opportunity to walk through this door voluntarily through a process of free will, and somewhat sooner than they might otherwise do so.

The Second Pathway

The second or unavoidable pathway, is the sudden impact route. It’s the process of being jump started from our slumber by an external event or changes to our circumstances that have the immediate impact of making us aware in a meaningful way. Basically, a shock that hits and tells us that the way everything has been working and the role that we have ourselves been playing within it, simply isn’t right.

The Voluntary Pathway to The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government

The good news for you if you are reading this, is that you are already on your way to Conscious Politics and Conscious Government – hopefully via a journey of exploration, rather than because events in the world have already created the emergency that will force the majority of us to look at life in a very different way.

The Voluntary Pathway is about discovering who we really are, how the world outside of us really works, what our relationship with the world outside of us really is and how the world influences all of us.

When we begin to understand all of this and the role that we personally must play to bring about change, we can also begin to understand how and why other people behave the way they do – even when they remain unconscious of the real reasons.

By waking up to ourselves – much in the same way as it has been said that you cannot love others if you do not love yourself first – we can then really begin to understand just how difficult and challenging the role of being a Public Representative should genuinely be.

In turn, we can then appreciate just how well equipped, experienced and motivated all of our Politicians need to be.

The Sudden Impact Pathway to The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government

We are fools to take for granted the apparent peace, security and seemingly good lives that we believe we have today.

Very few of us believe that our experiences of daily life will really change. Even though the majority of us lived through the Lockdowns of the Covid Pandemic (so far) and have recent memories of just how contrary our thinking vs reality can actually be.

We still don’t believe it possible that things could change completely from the way that they already are.

Through the books ‘Levelling Level’, ‘The People First Economy & The Basic Living Standard’ and ‘From Here to There Through Now’, which have all been published before ‘The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government’ during 2022, we have already talked about the position that the UK and the wider World is in today.

We have covered events and the process of events that are likely to unfold in the coming months and years. Events that are already unfolding in many ways that the reader may not currently be fully Aware of.

The upshot of this series of books is that things will change, whether we are Conscious of them or not.

For the majority of us who are not insulated from everything that happens in the world (in the way that very few could possibly still be), this change will require us not only to look deeply at ourselves, but to then change our way of thinking, our way of being and our way of living to then live and interact with each other and the world outside of us in very different ways to what our experience has been up until now.

The impact of national and world events may be very sudden. Perhaps a war, natural disaster or like event.

Or they may be cumulative. Perhaps the ongoing collapse of The Financial Markets, Currencies and The Money Based System itself. All as greed and ineptitude of those with power and influence steps further and further away from humanity, sense and control.

Ironically, the ‘Sudden Impact’ route and the ‘Voluntary Route’ not only have the outcome of The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government in common.

They also have a point of ‘critical mass’ or point of change, where the scales of balance literally tip from the existence of ‘The System’ to the next system in common too.

This critical mass will be much easier to define via the ‘Sudden Impact’ route. As the collapse of The System – in whichever way it might come, will ultimately affect the majority of us at the same time, and force our hand when it comes to changing our thinking and then embracing the changes that will equip and help us in what some call the ‘New Earth’ to come.

Part 7: Steps necessary for The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government

The solution to every problem begins with the selection and election of Politicians who are fully Awake and committed to Balance, Fairness and Justice for all

Anyone would be forgiven for having little interest or confidence in the Politicians that we have running the Country today.

However, there is a vicious circle at work.

We have poor Politicians making poor decisions that affect us all poorly, because we are collectively making poor decisions when we Vote to elect our Politicians.

Sometimes we are not even bothering to Vote at all.

It has been said that we get the Politicians that we deserve. And in this sense, it is arguably very true.

We don’t all need to live our lives consciously the whole time and there is no obligation for us to do so. If our way of living and the decisions that we are making don’t put others or anything else in harm’s way.

However, what we should all be taking very seriously and what we should all see as the role in Politics that each and every one of us are obliged to play, is in selecting people as Public Representatives or Politicians.

Our own meaningful engagement in the selection and election of our Politicians is the only way that they can be trusted and relied upon to engage in Awakened Politics and in a fully Conscious and Enlightened way, as Public Representatives, on behalf of us all.

Just like securing the best of everything that we can do for our families and the people we love to keep them happy, secure and safe, selecting the right Politicians to make the right decisions on behalf of us all is very much a process of engaging in and seeing through our responsibility to ourselves and to others in the same way.

How do we identify and select ‘Awakened Politicians’?

The only way that we can be sure that any Politician will act and behave Consciously and with the integrity that we should all be able to expect of them at the highest levels of government and Public Representation, is to require that they prove themselves at the level which is nearest and most transparent to the locality or the community first.

It stands to reason that Politicians who lead any system, should have a Conscious understanding of the way that the entire system works first. And that for us to rely on them thinking, acting and behaving Consciously in leadership of other Public Representatives, they should have demonstrated their ability beyond question as a Public Representative at all levels leading to that role first.

It is always better to have been offered than to have asked.

How do we maintain Conscious Government once we have it?

If we identify, select and continue to identify and select people who will be Awakened Politicians, and do so with an Electoral System that prioritises grassroots-up, the system and decision-making process will itself become self-governing.

It cannot therefore be emphasised strongly enough just how vital it now is that we all take the steps necessary to engage in The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government as individuals and as communities at the grassroots level, to ensure that every Public Representative is the right choice.

With Awakened Politics, the way we Vote doesn’t matter, as long as it allows genuine choice

Within the unconscious way that our Politicians, Political Parties and the Political System works now, the recognition that there is something wrong on goes so far as to encourage the misplaced belief that the problem lies within the way that The Electorate Votes.

The point that those Politicians and people with an interest and influence on Politics today are missing, is that it isn’t the way that people are asked to vote that matters, if the people who are then elected as Politicians and Public Representatives don’t think, act and behave in a fully Awakened way.

The ongoing debate over ‘First Past The Post’ and ‘Proportional Representation’ or any voting system like it is little more than a straw man argument or the promotion of an alternative system that is a white elephant.

Poor Government, Poor Governance and Poor Public Services are directly related to Poor Politics and the Poor Politicians that exist and masquerade as Public Representatives within it. Nothing else.

Why is there any need so many different politicians, if those at the top are fully Awake?

If all Public Policy decisions are or were always made on the basis of doing what is right, in the moment and without consideration for any ‘what ifs’ or ‘what could be’s’, we wouldn’t need masses of politicians, political groups or political parties in anything like or what we would recognise today.

However, human nature is such that any one of us can become unconscious of the biases that come from experiences of all kinds and the massive power of even the smallest and most passive of influences that can creep into our being.

It is therefore essential that there is always a Council, Assembly, Meeting or Parliament that is formed that consists of independent Conscious minds, that mean anything other than decision making conducted in the best interests of all is flagged, called out and no longer continue whether innocently or under the gaze of the willfully blind.

The New Electoral Process: The influence of the Voter must be and remain ongoing. It cannot just be meaningful on the day of an Election or Vote itself

The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government will require that every Voter is able to access and influence the Political process in a meaningful way, continually.

Under the current Government Tier and Electoral System that we have, this is simply not possible. It must change.

With The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government, Voters at the grassroots or most localised community level will always be able to vote for Public Representatives that they know, are able to get to know and who they know and understand all about.

Tier 1

These local representatives should then collectively make up grassroots or local community level councils, meetings or assemblies where all decisions that concern only that community will exclusively be made. This would be Tier 1.

Tier 2

The next level of decision making will be made at a level or Tier of community (perhaps what we might know as a region or Counties today) where the next level of collective decision making is most relevant and to where as much as possible has been devolved or decentralised away from what we today recognise as central government. This would be Tier 2.

The Public Representatives in Tier 2 would already be or have been Public Representatives in Tier 1 and therefore selected and elected by people or by communities at the grassroots level.

Tier 3

The next level – what might be Tier 3, might well be at the levels we recognise today as England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, or at Westminster or UK Parliament level, which of course could be Tier 4.

Again, Public Representatives at each and every Tier must be serving or have served in all the Tiers below and the emphasis on the whole system is that the responsibility for every decision is devolved exhaustively to the Tier which is nearest to the Voter and that it is practical and therefore possible for it to go.

The importance of the role of Young People in Awakened Politics

Whilst Awakened Politics indicates a grassroots-up restructuring of Government, of Governance and how the Public Sector is managed and run, it is easy to assume that even then, the voices and influences will focus on older people of all kinds and backgrounds, who have more experience of life. Thereby taking away value and consideration of the very relevant views and input that must be considered from the Young.

The inexperience of the idealistic young blinds them to practicality, whilst practicality blinds the old to aspiration and the pursuit of something better for all.

Better outcomes for all are encapsulated by the idealism and energy of the Young. That idealism must be moulded and redirected, but not stopped or prevented by the experience of the old.

The relationship between the direction of idealism and the practical journey that takes us there must be defined and formalised so that Young People who can offer better aims and objectives within the realm of Public Policy, Governance and how everything works can and will influence change where it is in the best interests of all to adopt.

The Young who are engaged should always have the benefit of a learning opportunity that goes way beyond ridicule or being told ‘you are wrong’, when there are genuinely good reasons – that can be explained – for those with more experience saying no to whatever the Young might want everyone to do.

It is certainly not impossible for Young People interested in Public Representation to be able to contribute a fully Awakened approach and understanding to Politics and Government. But they will regrettably be few.

We must embrace the process of looking carefully and considerately at idealism without allowing idealistic outcomes to be imposed in any way that can affect others, without care for practicality and human nature.

A way to do this will be to convene shadow local Councils, Assemblies or Meetings that all locally elected Public Representatives must attend. And that some way for such panels of Young People to influence the selection, appointment and election of Politicians at the most local level in a meaningful way should be a required part of that process.

The Helping Hand that we will need to engage everyone in The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government

It cannot be understated how challenging it will be for many to picture that way that we do Politics, Government and Governance any differently to how it is done now, given that to one degree or another, most of us still believe that we have an overwhelmingly beneficial interest in things continuing as they are.

It is certainly true that more and more people are Awakening to the deeper and unseen realities of the way that the world around us works, each day. Whether that understanding is based on a personal or spiritual type of revelation, or it is about waking up to how decisions that affect us all are really being made and who they are really being made for.

Even the most Awakened, Conscious or Enlightened amongst us do not know everything.

The danger we face as we set about the unenviable task of changing how the whole world thinks, is that change of this kind can and will only begin in the abstract, because of the way that the world works today.

To make a meaningful start, we need a practical foundation or jumpstart that makes sense of or provides an unyielding reference point that guides the transition between the money and material wealth obsessed earth that we are spinning around on today, and the people and life focused ‘new earth’ that we will find real happiness upon, if we refuse to let unconscious and unenlightened thinking, actions and behaviour in Politics and Government get in the way.

The Helping Hand is The Basic Living Standard, or cultural recognition that society has an obligation to create, monitor, maintain and implement such rules and regulations across government, the public sector, charities and business to ensure that the focus, motivation, aims and priorities are to observe the value and freedoms of each individual person first, and that as a minimum or benchmark, everyone can afford all of the basic essentials in life and to live in a sustainable, happy and healthy way, without need for support or intervention of any kind, whilst in receipt of the equivalent of the basic weekly wage or the equivalent thereof.

The Basic Living Standard is effectively the lighthouse that will guide people of every kind to think, act and behave differently in their interactions with the world around them.

Adopting what appears to be such a radically different baseline for our values set may seem difficult to imagine. But the reality is that with the focus flipped from material wealth to people and life, everything else and every problem that must be solved will begin the journey towards the best outcomes for everyone, with the right option becoming ever clearer to decision makers and to us all, as we collectively travel further along The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government.

A Community Route | Full Text

How we work together to fix the societal issues that are hurting everyone

Introduction

About this Book: About A Community Route

Whatever brought you here, A Community Route is for you.

The purpose of this book is to provide a reference tool with guidance and suggestions for individuals, groups and communities who recognise the need for change in the way that politics, government and decision-making works in the UK and around the World.

However, A Community Route is also here for those of us who already accept that a fundamental transformation of the way the World works is underway.

A Community Route is here to bring focus to the common ground that lies between the great many different ideas and interpretations of societal and economic change that is both unavoidable and necessary.

A Community Route is about what WE, all of us, together, must do now. As we journey and travel through this period of turmoil and change.

Then, what we do to establish a completely new way of living and being for everyone, as part of a new and very different type of system that lies beyond.

A Community Route is driven by the need to move beyond assessments, conclusions, proposals, plans and solutions that are just another set of subjective ideas that only have value through the lens of experience shared by only the few – whoever the few might actually be.

The objective of A Community Route is to begin providing the objective framework, understanding and awareness necessary to open the door to a future that will be defined from the grassroots-up, knowing that the reach and relevance to all of us of everything that is necessary in our real lives can only be achieved from solutions created by looking through a lens, shared by all.

All the problems we have and all the views we have about them matter the same, whoever we are

Everyone’s view of what is happening in the UK and across the World today is important. Even if the view that any one of us has, isn’t a view that recognises the need for change that exists.

Each of us and those we identify and stand with today might consider the solutions to all of the problems we have being related to a priority or a pressing issue such as one or more of the following:

AI
Brexit
The Cost-of-Living Crisis
Democracy (or a lack of it)
Digital Tyranny & Control
The Elites (WEF, WHO etc.)
The Financial System (Who controls money and how)
Food Security (Grow your own, localised production)
Freedom of Speech
Globalisation (Or Deglobalisation)
Healthy Living (Basic Foods)
The loss of Values
Media Manipulation
Money (or a lack of it)
Net Zero (Green & Climate Policy, LTNs, ULEZs and 15 Minute Cities)
Political Parties
Technology
US Hegemony
The War in Ukraine
Wokeism, Political Correctness and Minority Rights

Or it might be something entirely different, which will come from a VERY long list.

The immediate problem that we face is almost everyone, like you and like me, believes that the solution(s) we ourselves see as being the way to address the problems we all face will be exactly the same as everyone else who is ‘awake’ does. And that everyone else will – once those other people wake up, see the problems and the solutions that we need, in exactly the same way.

So, someone else – in fact many someone elses, are also out there, expecting you to forget what you are passionate about, just as you may be expecting them to do so right now.

They see the solution to everyone’s problems as being their own solution. They are expecting you, me and everyone else who doesn’t agree to change our minds and fall-in behind whatever it is that they see.

The Mountain of perception that we have to climb and conquer before we will succeed

It is essential that every one of us understand and accept that in isolation, tackling any one or just a certain number or even a fraction of the problems that need to be addressed will not be enough.

Cherry picking the issues that we ourselves believe to be the most important will not be sufficient to facilitate or even open the door slightly’ to the comprehensive and meaningful change that we must now have. IF we are to achieve the goal of creating a future for everyone that is balanced, fair and just for all.

One view or just a handful of views will not engage all of the people and the whole communities that they are part of in the way that we all need them to become engaged. IF we are to have a fighting chance of achieving the kind of change that we all so desperately need throughout the UK and across the World.

Whatever your specific view and the view that you share with others who share that specific view might be, that view will not be devalued or cancelled out by recognising, understanding and accommodating the different views of others. Quite the opposite in fact.

It is by recognising and then implementing the rules, systems and procedures that will work for us all to facilitate fairness, balance, justice and freedom for everyone, all within a clear governance framework – but by not allowing anything more – that we can create a future that will allow and encourages each of us to be happy, healthy, human in all relationships, and at peace with who we genuinely are.

It is only by launching, developing and evolving a framework of rules that allow real democracy to grow, flourish and thrive – and to then protect those principles in every genuine way that we can, so that we will be able to live the kind of life that we want to do so.

We must be able to exist freely and unhindered, without our own freedom hindering others, and within a societal model that correctly puts each of us and our humanity first.

Why do we need A Community Route

You are here because at the very least, you know deep down or unconsciously that things in our lives are changing and that no matter how ‘normal’ everything around you now appears to be, there is nothing ‘normal’ about any of it.

You know that things have been feeling less and less ‘normal’ for a very long period of time.

The chances are that you are both a rational and sensible person and that whether it’s politically correct to say so or not, you possess what we used to feel free to call common sense.

However, it is just as likely that you cannot consciously see anything changing or deviating that much away from what you think of as being ‘normal’. That anything that seems out of sorts, will somehow be resolved. That everything will return to being how it always has been – just like it was before.

The hard reality that we all face is nothing will ever be the same as it has been.

Furthermore, we must also understand that the kind of change that is now underway, is happening, bit by bit, and in steps or in stages that in themselves will appear to arrive very quickly. But are nonetheless taking place one at a time.

The truth that we face is that when the moment comes that the majority of us awaken to the reality that substantial change has already taken place across society, we will already be facing a situation where we no longer have the luxury of time to rationalise why everything has happened as it has.

We will not be able to press pause on events so that we can consider what steps we then need to take. IF, that is, we want our future to be one that is genuinely free, where we all have freedom of choice, and where health and happiness are the new ‘normal’ for everyone.

Balance, fairness and justice, with humanity in our relationships is voluntary. It must therefore be a reasoned choice.

And that means people must be ready to lead the way and be the voice of reason that many other people will need in the immediacy of the moment when the direction of the world switches and through chaos, we all find ourselves facing a very different way.

A Community Route is here to help you and help your community once everyone is awake. But it is also here to help you and those within your community who are already awakened or are awakening to what is happening around us now.

A Community Route is about respecting and protecting what we have in common, so that everyone has the same freedom to choose

Finding our way to a future where everything is balanced, fair and just for all, may in the first instance sound as if it’s all about making lots of different rules or laws.

What we must accept and understand is that this is exactly how the World around us acts right now.

We have government at all levels pursuing more and more rules, to support and enhance the rules that they already didn’t need to set for us before.

We have an entire system of government and a public sector that is obsessed with creating laws for laws sake, taking responsibility for more and more areas of life that they have no right to, just so public servants can justify who they believe themselves to be.

Anarchy and the non-existence of any rules or laws are the opposite extreme.

Whilst there will always be those who will argue that being able to do whatever they like without fear of punishment would be a much fairer world to live in, the reality is that for everyone to be genuinely happy, healthy, safe and to feel secure continually and all of the time, there will always be a need for a system of governance or rules set by the community, for the members of that community, to ensure that everything that affects other members of that community is always balanced, just and fair.

Real freedom at a personal or individual level, is the freedom to be, to do, to think as we wish – without any of that freedom encroaching or interfering with the same right to freedom for every other person.

That freedom covers many different things and is a world in itself.

But the world of freedom that is personal to us all is dependent upon factors that will always sit outside of ourselves and outside of our control, when it comes to our interaction with everyone and everything else.

It is to ensure that these outside influences always remain fair, balanced and just in their influence upon us, that a framework of rules, based on principles and values for a people first and values-based life must be created and then protected to ensure that it always exists.

Frameworks work. Micromanagement just puts creates a bigger mess

Frameworks For Freedoms

The point sadly missed by many is that the solutions to the majority of the problems we face are not for any one of us, as individuals, to find answers to, or to come up with the right fix.

Today, we have specific groups, whether that be politicians, banks, businesses, elites or others, attempting and in many cases succeeding in dictating public policy and so-called solutions to problems (That their behavior has usually created). All on the basis that they believe their ideas are best for everyone.

Regrettably, although many of the speakers and well-known influencers who recognise the need for change have their own ideas and solutions, and often appear to provide alternatives, these ideas are also made in isolation.

As such, the results from electing an alternative set of politicians might appear different.

But if we were to simply exchange what we have now for what loud voices and false prophets are offering us instead, we would inevitably end up with many more problems that would only get progressively worse.

The end result would at best be exactly the same as what we have and experience now.

People and their Communities must be supported to make all of the decisions that affect only them.

Amongst those decisions must be the selection and appointment of those public representatives who will represent that Community when decisions are made about anything else.

Regrettably, the point has been lost today, that as long as anyone’s behaviour is not hindering the freedom of others, they will themselves must be free and unhindered to do and behave in any way they like.

The obligation of the Community will only ever be to manage and to provide resources, rules and regulations that work for and in the best interests of that Community and nothing more.

These ‘Frameworks for Freedoms’ overseen by the Community must always be universal in nature. So that they treat each and every person exactly the same.

Frameworks for Freedoms will ensure that no person is given either an advantage or disadvantage, if they should find themselves with nothing in terms of material wealth, or if holding no material wealth should indeed be their voluntary choice.

In its simplest and most easily describable form, an example of a framework rule would be similar to what we today understand as the minimum wage. A universal framework where EVERYONE must be paid that minimum hourly rate, no matter what job it is that they do.

Universality does not entertain prejudices. Nor does it recognise the differences and therefore the prejudices that today’s social conditioning has done so.

So, no matter how we might have been previously conditioned or required to identify someone – whatever the reasons might be, those reasons that we use to attribute social value to those human beings in some way in the past, must now be discarded and left behind.

EVERYONE enters and leaves this world the same. Frameworks for Freedom must ensure that no rules exist which allow anyone to define themselves as being different to others through any position or wealth that they have attained or have been gifted in other ways.

Success and apparent happiness don’t make anyone better than anyone else. Genuine success and happiness are defined by the individual and their own reflections. Not by anyone else or by the world outside.

Frameworks for Freedoms are the doorway that allow everyone to thrive and achieve happy, healthy, safe and secure lives – if they so choose.

The real power and responsibility of community centred governance is to provide these Frameworks and to protect them. Nothing more.

Why frameworks can be relied upon, but rules, regulations and laws cannot.

Every Community must be able to make rules that are considerate of the different dynamics that relate to it.

These rules must always sit outside and beyond making specific requirements that suggest how every individual will enjoy their own freedom and the related right to exist in tangible forms.

These Community rules might relate to very practical measures such as the infrastructure that exists, the types of foods that can be grown or produced in the area, or other ways in which the Community’s economy or local marketplace works.

Each Person must always be treated and respected as the individual they are and given every opportunity to express their freedom to choose how to live, without unnecessary rules, regulations and laws that seek to control – that would only exist for the benefit of those who write or set them.

Genuine frameworks are principles that do not need to be changed.

Whereas rules, regulations and laws tend to be dynamic and must be updated to reflect changes and times.

Rules, regulations and laws are always open to interpretation and to abuse.

If we want our future world to work in a balanced, fair and just way for everyone that always puts people first, it is the principles that need to work, to be consistent, universal and reliable, before anything else.

It is not the detail that counts.

The First Framework for Freedom: (The Basic Living Standard)

There is nothing insignificant about the process of change and the transition from a money, wealth, influence and power-based culture, to one that values and puts people first.

Frameworks that allow everyone to act, think and to behave like the adults that they are will be the very best way to help us all to survive and thrive through as we go through transition and change and then play our part in establishing a new System that is waiting for us beyond.

We may not be able to see how a very different way of living and relating to others would work from where we stand looking at the future right now, as the culture we are experiencing today has taken over everything.

Considering anything contrary to what we consider to be ‘normal’ today can easily leave us feeling overwhelmed.

The relationship that we all have with money is the most important part of the process of change and will be resisted in ways that nothing else will.

This is why changing our approach to money and finance is so important. Every problem we have today relates to our relationship with money and this can only be fixed with a complete switch in focus to putting people first, before anything and everything else.

The First Framework for Freedom (or The Basic Living Standard) is as follows:

That a happy, healthy and balanced life will be affordable and sustainable for everyone, without the need for debt, subsidy or government handouts of any kind, when receiving the minimum, most basic or living wage for working the equivalent of a full working week.

If you remain tied in your beliefs to today’s system and money-based culture, it is unlikely that you will be able to see the defining value of this Framework.

Indeed, you may not even conceive that such a Framework is viable and would certainly not be something that would be supported by choice.

However, if you will take the time to think and work this through, and picture the reality that people, businesses and all organisations would be required to consider this obligation in each and every action or transaction that they make or undertake, you will soon begin to see how this is a central framework rule that has the power to influence and impact upon them all.

Each Person must have the ability to be able to sustain their lives fully on the lowest full-time wage without handouts from the community, without relying on charity and without having to rely upon debt.

In a future people-first economy, everything will point in that direction and contribute to making it work.

The 11 Principal Frameworks of A Community Route

We must accept that for many, a world that focuses on living life differently, simply doesn’t make any sense.

However, just because someone cannot see it, it doesn’t mean that it cannot exist.

Likewise, just because we may only be able to see the future in the same context of how we understand everything in the World around us works today, doesn’t mean that we cannot think differently and embrace what will soon become necessary for everyone – no matter what we might currently believe.

Governance should always be as light-touch and government as small as possible.

In so far as it is possible, people must always be allowed to set their own life rules.

However, a successful future will be based upon us all agreeing upon, working with and committing to governance frameworks that provide the necessary direction, standards and security, so that people and their communities can thrive.

These are the 11 Principal Frameworks:

Economic Localism
Freedom does not hinder and is not hindered in any way.
People First
No Hierarchies. Top-Down is at its end
Local People MUST make Local Decisions Locally & influence from The Grassroots-Up
Local Businesses buy, sell and promote Local Goods first
Every link of the supply chain must add value.
Money or currencies have a fixed value and are only used as a medium of exchange
Technology: A tool to improve life, not end it
The Internet is a tool for life, not an alternative to it
In a People First system, the people will always be the first to speak.

In the pages that follow, we will go through each of these Principal Frameworks, one by one.

1. Economic Localism

If you cannot see it, be in the presence of it or directly engage with it, you cannot trust that it will be in your best interests – whatever it might be.

In a world where everything has been telling us to place our trust and belief in people, businesses, governance, manufacturing , production and services that are somewhere else – either out of our locality, our presence or somewhere online, it does indeed sound counterintuitive to suggest that a better life and way of living for everyone can only come by redirecting the way we live and have relationships with everything in a completely different way.

Yet that is exactly where we need to be.

Easy living, based upon processes and the input of people that we will never meet or see, mean that we have lost sight of responsibility, whilst we have also surrendered our control.

To live well, to live freely, to live healthily and to live happily, the focus of life, living and of everything that feeds into life and supports it must be as local as possible.

Everything must be transparent and be completely under our own control.

Every commercial activity that exists relates to a business, service or process that serves the interests of people in some way.

When commercial activities of any kind are placed in the service of specific interests and interests that are either deliberately hidden or kept out of sight, whatever they do will never be in the interests of us all. The balance between us and the sense of justice and fairness is quickly lost.

The priority for all communities must be to meet everyone’s basic needs so that everyone has the food, the clothing, the transport, the technology, the education, the work and the means to be self-sustaining without the need for help or support, in return for the work they do or the contribution to the community that they make.

This means that the growing of food, production of goods, manufacturing, supply of services and all the supply chains that support normal life and that exist to meet everyone’s basic needs, must be returned to their most locality focused and people-centric forms.

2. Freedom does not hinder and is not hindered in any way

We think that we are free today, and that any fight that might lie ahead is to maintain that freedom.

This is not correct.

The fight ahead is the fight for freedom itself. That’s why we need community focused leadership.

The alternative is to accept further forms of control and tyranny from an establishment or system that still insists that everything it does and will do will be done with our best interests at heart, whilst it seeks to profit from and exploit us all at every turn. All the time, reducing every one of the freedoms that we have today, whilst also seeking to continually reduce and remove our own individual forms of control.

Some might relate this statement to issues like the arrival of new generations of AI and the growing digital tyranny that we are being increasingly controlled and oppressed by. But nothing is so simple as that.

The reality is that we have forgotten what freedom really is.

By being so beholden to and manipulated by the consumer mantra ‘you can have whatever you want, it will always be available, it will always be affordable, and we’ll always give you money to pay for it – as long as you behave’, we have collectively become shackled by always wanting more.

We have forgotten what it is to live life in a way that centres only upon what we actually need.

Today, we are slaves to a values set based upon wealth, money, power and influence being the only things that are important.

We have become so addicted to this way of being and thinking, that we cannot even see how badly we are being hurt by what we already have. Yet we remain desperate for the same self-interests that brought us here to reach out and offer us even more.

True freedom does not hinder us or restrict us in any way.

True freedom only ends when our actions and behaviour become a genuine hindrance to others.

Freedom will always be freedom. Freedom is not something that depends on what people with power and influence dictate.

We must create and maintain a culture, understanding and framework that allows each and every one of us the freedom to be ourselves and who we believe ourselves to be. But at the same time does not restrict or hinder this same freedom in others so that it can contradict its own legitimacy, or force change upon the freedom of anyone to be.

3. People First

We are led to believe and to accept that The System that we have today is run on behalf of the people, by the people and for the people.

It is not.

Most people understand that the system is run in the best interests of those who either run it, or those that they look up to or receive favour from in some way.

But that is not the whole truth.

Everything that we know and understand today revolves around and is focused upon a values set based upon money, wealth, influence and power, along with the processes and actions that help everyone – no matter who they are – to gain and accumulate more of it.

We put money and the value we place in it before people and everything else.

The rise of the internet, the smart tech revolution and now the evolution of AI have made the downward spiral that has existed for over 50 years even worse by creating more and more devices and processes that dehumanize relationships.

Today’s internet creates the impression for anyone or any organisation with a platform that the people they interact with online aren’t actually real.

As far as real life is concerned, people in the digital world simply do not even exist. Yet in return we listen to and respect them as if they are.

This way of living is already unsustainable. But it is set to get even worse as we embrace the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), without any ethical framework or rules being set up that recognises the negative impacts and outcomes from profit-driven and control-driven misuse.

We must flip or completely turn this situation on its head and create a universal environment that puts people at the forefront of everything and every relationship instead of money.

Using benchmark frameworks that ensure fairness, balance and justice for all such as The Basic Living Standard, which will guarantee the ability of all people to support themselves without going into debt or without having to call on charity or government support, we will have the ability to provide a self-sustaining standard for a happy, healthy, safe and secure life for everyone.

With frameworks that are focused on People, we can also create a light-touch system of governance that uses transparency as an open tool for the system of the future to police itself too.

Today, humanity as a value set has been lost.

We can and will regain our true and most beneficial value set by focusing on the benefits of putting people first.

4. No Hierarchies. Top-Down is at its end

Whilst some of us will understand the concept, none of us alive today have known a world without hierarchies.

Yet hierarchies are one of the most effective tools that exist for the dehumanisation and distancing of humanity and human relationships.

Hierarchies are the reason that societies and industries ultimately fail.

The intrinsic reason for the failure of all hierarchies – where the failure itself can take centuries to reach those at the top – is because hierarchies instantly make decision makers out-of-touch with those they rule.

The System that is failing and collapsing around us today is a classic example of a hierarchy. It is a textbook example of a system that operates from the top-down.

Today’s system is so complex, that the tiers or levels of the hierarchy are not only top-down. The way that we have evolved culturally has meant that we have also extended these tiers or levels from side to side.

This means that the responsibility for decisions that affect our daily lives are not only made by people and organisations or bodies that we will never have contact with.

It also means that their role, responsibilities and influence are also heavily – and all too conveniently obscured from our view.

Leadership has become synonymous with hierarchy. Yet the interchangeability of the two words or terms must no longer be considered as meaning the same thing.

We most certainly need leaders to shine and take responsibility for leading us.

But leadership does not come by right. It does not appear through career progression. It certainly doesn’t come through position or assumed power – even though the elites want us to believe this – try as they might.

Poor leaders who have no appreciation of the mechanics of leadership, nor any understanding of what leadership genuinely is, usually surround themselves with leaders who are even weaker, who then do exactly the same thing when it becomes their turn to lead.

Likewise, the accumulation of wealth or apparent success with a certain kind of business is no guarantee of anyone’s ability, the ethics or the morality that will drive them if they find themselves in a position where deference and the way that society works would enable them to take a lead.

Today, we have reached a position where everything we know in terms of governance and the way that the rules governing the way society, business and culture function has such people at the top and intrinsically involved.

We must end these hierarchies. We must end everything that functions in the sense of decisions being made by any form of power and influence that is remote and that we can identify in any way as being top-down.

5. Local People MUST make Local Decisions Locally & Influence from The Grassroots-Up

When we have a problem, we look to the people closest to us or those who are around us and in our lives for help. We quite literally reach out to our local support networks.

So why do we always reach outside of our local support networks for everything else and believe that the people, the businesses, the politicians and whatever else we interact with will value us at a personal level and with our best interests at heart, just the same?

Whilst there must always be an objectively created framework of rules that establish and maintain equality in all things that will be equal and that there is equality for all, the creation of such rules and regulations must be undertaken by people who understand what life is really like for all.

If decision makers do not interact with the people, the area, the community for which any set of rules are made, they cannot make those decisions in the most informed manner.

True equality of opportunity must exist for society to be balanced, fair and just.

But equality of opportunity and one-size-fits all are never the same thing. That is, unless you are the one with all the power and you sit in isolation at the very top.

In our world of the future, it will be Local people – that’s the people we talk to and see regularly or could call on easily and without difficulty – who will always be making the decisions on public policy and governance that will have any effect upon us and the people we care about.

There are very few decisions made by any of the existing levels of government today that cannot be returned, along with the power that enables them, to the most local or community level.

Instead, rules are today being made that have a real impact upon the quality of life that we all experience, by people who will never visit or understand our areas and communities, and who we will never have reason to know.

Lawmaking powers must be returned to the level nearest to the people possible to do so. In the majority of cases, this will always be within a local or community framework.

Cost or political expedience is in itself no excuse for rules to be passed to anyone or to any organisation outside of our local frameworks. The reality is that excuses like these are quite literally all they are – excuses that sound beneficial to everyone.

The truth is that they are all about taking power away from us so that someone else can better serve their own self-interest, by taking and misusing our control.

Local people will always be best equipped to make local decisions. There is no need for anyone else, any group or political party to be involved.

We can only return power to the people by rejecting the phoney democracy that it will take us working together as a whole community to replace.

6. Local Businesses buy, sell and promote local goods first

We shouldn’t trust what we cannot physically experience, even if it physically exists somewhere else.

Just as it will be in the interests of our health to avoid foods that don’t resemble their basic, raw form – unless the processing used is simple, such as was traditionally undertaken by hand (e.g. Bread, Butter, Cheese), we will learn to avoid and distrust the processes of growing, manufacturing and production that are not accessible or cannot be accessed, viewed and assessed by people who are known to us and that we can trust.

People with money, influence and power today have abused the trust that so many of us have placed in them by exploiting the rationale that out of sight is out of mind.

They do this because they remain confident that if we cannot see it, we do not care about it, we are not interested in it, and that we will take the provenance and care for our best interests that go into it for granted.

Corruption is not only a term that relates to financial payments, favours and backhanders that skew decisions today that should always be impartial and fair.

Processes of all kinds have become corrupted by the self-interest and profiteering that drives them.

There is no reason why the basic goods, foods and services that we all need for life cannot be grown, produced, manufactured and supplied locally – IF we are putting people and a values-based way of living first, using methods that will quickly resolve some of the biggest issues that society currently has.

Yes, there may always be a need to trade local goods that exist in excess, for those that cannot be locally produced. Or to create a regulated currency for the purpose of being a medium of exchange that can do the same.

But if we work locally, with local people, in the interests of the locality and the local community, a balance for this will always exist.

It is only when greed and the self-interest of the few enter the equation that a process begins where balance, fairness and justice is lost. Selfishness is where it all begins to go wrong.

Local Businesses must always prioritise local suppliers for their services, raw materials and goods.

Quality and experience are always the key, and by chasing profit or by attempting to avoid rules that achieve the same, transparency, provenance, authenticity and everything good will always be lost.

7. Every link of the supply chain must add value

Whilst it is the money system and the way that money creation and circulation are managed that are the fundamental problem with the way that the worldwide economy works today, this mismanagement itself has encouraged a cultural mindset that focuses on saving costs and making more profit. Not as a consequence of what the business does; not because there is some kind of rule requiring them to do so; not because circumstances demand it of them. But because they can.

We have reached a stage where businesses that we could argue have a legitimate involvement in supply chains that provide a service or supplies to the people, such as supermarkets, already use every excuse that sounds plausible to convince retail customers that prices need to keep rising.

Meanwhile, supermarkets push producers and growers at the other end of the supply chain to sell at prices where they can barely continue to exist (and increasingly don’t).

However, the problem today reaches way beyond businesses such as those we would recognise as having a legitimate role in production and supply to play.

There are also many other companies, ‘agents’, speculators, and other ‘interests’, who buy and sell raw materials, components, ingredients, fuels, minerals and even currencies, who do nothing to add value to the product or whatever it is they are buying and selling.

But in whatever way they become involved, they nonetheless add and take a fee for themselves.

That excess profit, made without adding value to the supply chain – when adding value could be refining, making an engine out of components, or even selling to the customer at the end of the ‘chain’, raises the costs of all of these goods and even services unnecessarily.

In every circumstance within a supply chain where anyone takes a margin without adding any value to the process, it makes the end product or service more expensive for everyone to buy and makes it more difficult to live.

There must always be a reward for input, whether that be growing, mining, processing, refining, delivering or selling.

But nobody and no business will be able to take a reward, just because they can afford to insert themselves into any part of any supply chain that exists or may be under discussion ahead of time – pushing up prices as they do so, and then selling on at a profit which pushed those prices up further.

Regrettably, the historic greed of growers, producers and all the different companies that in some cases also carry out unnecessary cost-raising activities or roles, has surrendered the ability of whole industries to take back control of their own marketplace because they are today tied into commercial relationships they feel unable to leave behind – even though they are being progressively broken by them.

Supply chains must be as short as it is possible. No unnecessary business, agent or entity of any kind can be allowed to be involved in the growing, production, manufacturing, storing, transport or selling of foods, goods and services that are essential to life – of any kind.

Of those businesses or entities that have involvement at any stage of any supply chain, they MUST add value to the chain with whatever it is they do.

No other interests other than those that are adding value to the chain must ever be allowed to be involved.

Speculation or ‘futures’ must be prohibited for any raw materials, foods or goods that are part of any supply chain that provides essential goods, services or supplies that are essential to basic life.

Speculation and ‘futures’ selling or handling is nothing more than gambling and no one has the right to gamble with anyone else’s life.

8. Money or currencies MUST have a fixed value and only be used as a medium of exchange

Money isn’t real. Yet we have been conditioned to believe that it is.

Money is a unit or medium of exchange.

Yet we have been conditioned to believe that money is a thing. That money holds value of its own, and that the value that money holds is variable in its own right – well beyond the basic principles necessary for currency exchange.

Money has become the benchmark that dictates the value of life and the value of every individual’s existence.

For as long as this money-based order, reality or culture that we have today continues to exist, the values that underpin humanity and human existence will matter less and less.

Money and currencies of any kind are useful to us, as long as they are only used as the medium of exchange that they are. Rather than being believed to be or considered to be an accumulation of material wealth in itself – as it is today.

For as long as we continue to allow the value of anything and everything to be determined by the value of money, which itself can then vary from day to day, the power of any individual, business or community to regulate, manage and sustain healthy lives will be compromised.

Until 1971, when neoliberalism fully took over, the value of the money that existed was always pinned or anchored to the value of gold.

‘The Gold Standard’ was far from being a perfect system or system that was balanced, fair and just in itself – as any good study of economic history will demonstrate. But what its existence did demonstrate was the benefit of having the value of money restricted, which meant that there was considerably less opportunity for the system to be ‘played’ – as it has been, to our considerable cost, ever since.

A fair, balanced and just economic system that puts people first must rest its economic base upon the people that exist within that system, along with the fundamental value we can associate with what those people then put in or take out of it.

That value may indeed be translated into money or a form of currency or digital currency of some kind.

But there is no requirement or need for that value to ever be variable in a system that puts people first and does not accept that non-essential or basic goods that it cannot itself produce must be secured, no matter the price.

The value of human existence and the value of the work or effort that any individual puts into the system must be the benchmark which everything to do with monetary exchange and value must be pinned.

For life to be valued and for that value of life to be maintained as it will always be, money or currencies of any kind must always be a unit of exchange that holds no value of its own that can be bought, sold or exchanged.

9. Technology: A tool to improve life, not end it

It would be foolish to not recognise the value of the advances in technology that humanity has experienced throughout the industrial age.

Those technological advances have increased exponentially as we have picked up speed through the digital age, with advances that we have experienced in just the past few years alone, already providing us with the opportunity to look at life in a very different way.

Technology has always had the power to do much good. To improve life in many ways and to remove all kinds of risks from the workplace for everyone who may be involved.

However, technology and its development has also been increasingly abused.

Technological advances are used by industries to increase profits and are today increasingly seen as a way to reduce the numbers of people employed to work. All without any due regard for the impact on individuals, communities, entire countries and the industries that are involved.

It is true that no business or organisation exists purely to employ people.

Employment and the need to employ people to carry out any function that the development of a business or organisation and the products or services that it delivers, has and always will be a happy consequence of organic growth from the provision of goods and services of a quality that are essential to life and which people and communities genuinely need.

Profit should always be a happy consequence of good delivery and management. Never the primary aim.

The power of good in technology rests in its ability to be used to improve and enhance working practices and quality of life.

Not to make work or employment unnecessary for anyone, or to be used as a functional device to control or restrict people or humanity in any way.

There are and always will be negative consequences when technology of any kind is used and harnessed for purposes other than to improve life or working conditions.

Those who lose out will always lose out badly.

Whilst those who believe they are using technology to benefit themselves or their business will only every experience a pyrrhic win.

In a people centric or people-first economy and World, technology must always be used to improve the experience of everyone. Not as a tool that can only ever benefit the few.

10. The Internet is a tool for life, not an alternative to it

Many neither realise nor appreciate that the arrival of the internet and the functionality that it has offered us, has never been governed or regulated by governments and those that govern on our behalf in ways that benefit us.

The internet and the online world that is developing with it is and always has been a two-edged sword. It has brought as many downsides or dark aspects with it as the positive or good aspects that it has given us – and potentially a lot more.

Many of the social problems that we experience today can be attributed to behaviour that was deemed acceptable online before it then found its way into the real world or the mainstream.

From early on, people and businesses using the internet – whatever the purpose may have been – didn’t recognise the same social etiquette, politeness, manners, morals, standards or behaviour that we considered to be the cultural norm in ‘real life’ outside. Principally, because there was never any real system of Governance in place and so none of those same rules appeared to exist.

The rate of behavioral change in social conditioning from locality to online has been confined to within what might only be one generation.

Young people today take all of their social cues and conditioning from the world online. Rather than from the young people, adults and community figures around them.

The effect has been massively profound.

Today, upcoming generations and those above them who follow common narratives take these social cues into ‘real life’ without realising the parallel universe or pretend world that the internet or online world offers, is dictating or rather destroying rules and the remaining values for life.

This reconditioning is helping to dehumanise every aspect of life that we experience, as it progresses.

Like all technology, the value of the internet and all things online cannot be understated. Just as long as it is used and operated within a framework, with rules and restrictions that are always based upon and maintained for the common good.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and all online technology will prove to be bad for humanity if it is programmed, created and driven by motives and designs that are in the interests of the few, rather than being in the best interests of all mankind.

The internet is a tool. It must be respected as such.

The online or digital world must always reflect or mirror the rules and practices that we use in real life. Rather than having the ability to completely reset life and every agenda, as it and all the technology that feeds into it, does today.

11. In a People First system, the people will always be the first to speak

We have been told over and over again that we live and enjoy freedom that can only come from being in a democracy.

The political system and the system of governance or administration that we have today could certainly operate in a very democratic way. But only when the incumbents within that system or the politicians and officers respect democracy and democratic practices themselves.

Whatever system of government or administration we may have, there will always be a dependence upon those who have been entrusted with the responsibilities of public representation having the integrity to respect and work diligently with that trust.

Today, politicians simply do not do this. Not least of all because once elected, politicians of the existing political parties are inevitably expected by their party to vote and support policies as they have been told.

But also, because very few politicians today are able to discern the difference between what is right for them and what is right for us all.

Many of us regrettably still think that change can be achieved just by voting for a different party, or by changing the way that votes are counted. So that smaller parties will get elected as they pick up alternative and second preference votes.

What those who believe this fail to see is that the way that we elect politicians doesn’t matter one bit, if the politicians don’t care for or consider the people they have been elected to represent.

It would be foolish to believe that any of us can trust that every politician we elect can be relied upon 100% of the time to make decisions on our behalf that are always 100% right.

But there is a colossal difference between where we are today, and where we will be when we have created a very different democratic framework that requires all public representatives to establish and qualify themselves at community level. Then live the principle that true democracy will always operate from the Grassroots Up.

Yes, we must have politicians and public representatives to represent us and make decisions on our behalf.

But the perversity of a system where just a few thousand people from a group that has very specific interests and motivations can select the next Prime Minister of the UK, should never have existed.

The people who represent us all must be selected and appointed by us all, first.

It may neither be possible nor appropriate for us to appoint a Prime Minister in the same way that the United States does.

Through the process of change we will all be able to take an active part in selecting the people who will represent us and take the majority of the decisions that will affect us all locally.

The people who represent us at regional, national and potentially international level, should always be selected from those who have been successful and demonstrated their suitability as a public representative, to the people they represent, from this pool.

Hidden Truths and Looming Elephants

Things to consider:

Nobody who genuinely understands or has any idea what experiences we will now be required to go through will make light of anything that might or could happen to any one of us next.

They will certainly not suggest that theres is anything easy about what lies ahead.

To maximise and make the very best of the opportunity that lies in front of you and indeed all of us right now, there are a few things to bear in mind that might be of some help.

They are a reminder that as soon as you are aware and committed to doing what you can to help everyone else through this process – including those who currently reject this direction and may be the last to awaken – that WE must all have the integrity to be our best, whatever the situation. Especially when it appears that change has stopped or may even seem to be going the wrong way.

There will be many more, and the way they are written may not make immediate sense to everyone.

However, they are written and offered with yours and everyone’s best interests at heart.

They follow as the remaining pages of this book.

They are:

You will be the next great leader, before anyone else
Nobody is wrong. We are all the sum of our experiences at any moment in time
Don’t attempt to lead others if the only ideas you can lead with are your own
If you believe that to win you must discredit the speaker, you are neither confident nor competent with your own case or cause
Don’t look forward using the building blocks of everything you know and understand now
Use the people you can interact with, without barriers, as your reference points. Always trust what you can see and access in real life before you even put your faith in anything else.
Know yourself. Accept and be honest about your own limitations
The most effective revolution is the one you take part in without even realising you were part of it
If you have to rely on fear to win, your victory will never be safe
We get to change the rules when we win. Don’t step onto the field of play until you understand what they are today
It’s a conversation. Not a sale
Ask questions and learn to ask the same questions in many different ways
The outcome will always be related to the effort made
This change may well be a spiritual awakening. But the physical or 3D world has to play its part too
It could take 20 years for change to happen overnight
Run away from anyone who says they have all the answers
If you are focusing on punishment and blame, you are missing the point
“You don’t speak for us”, is a warning for all of us too
Having a platform is no qualification for leadership and leading other people is nobody’s right
Always do the right thing for everyone, not only for yourself or what you believe

1. You will be the next great leader, before anyone else

Everyone has to change their mind about what happens next.

Even if you believe you are already fully ‘in the room’, the chances are there are things that you will need to change your mind about, or at the very least open your mind up to.

Changing your mind, when you believe that what you already know is right is very hard and should not be underestimated on anyone’s part.

Seeing the different way and then having the courage to take the leap of faith necessary to embrace it is also what it takes each of us to lead – even if we are only leading ourselves.

Through the process of all of us embracing that step, we will all be contributing to the overall process of change and the step that we take is where the leadership really begins.

2. Nobody is wrong. We are all the sum of our experiences at any moment in time

Sadly, today’s cultural conditioning tells us that the accepted narrative is always right, and that when you know you are right, anyone who doesn’t agree with you or the narrative must therefore be wrong.

However, we must accept that all of us are the sum of our experiences.

Whatever we personally believe to be right – based upon what we have learned or experienced up to that specific moment in time – may well be right in our own minds.

Yet the experience of the same subject or circumstances for anyone or everyone else may be very different, just because of whatever they experienced that led them to that conclusion first.

We can all be right based on what we already know. But at the same time, we can also be wrong in respect of what is right for us all.

Never judge anyone – no matter how you might feel.

3. Don’t attempt to lead others if the only ideas you can lead with are your own

If you are convinced that you are right or that the solutions you have are the right ones, you may also believe that you are the only person who has the ability to see things the way that you do.

If you believe this to be the case or you believe that you are the first person to see things the way that you do, you may believe that you should be the one who takes the lead.

We are now heading into a future where everyone will work for everyone else, together.

So, even if the ideas that you have end up being some or even all of the ideas that everyone should agree with, everyone else must discuss and agree that they are the most appropriate ideas, first.

Leaders are not always the people who have the ideas.

Leaders are the people who know how to get things done by getting the right people with the right ideas together and then getting all the answers, solutions and outcomes that everyone needs.

4. If you believe that to win you must discredit the speaker, you are neither confident nor competent with your own case or cause

If you are confident in what you know, you will never have cause to resort to shutting any opponent or anyone down who has an alternative view.

It doesn’t matter if they shout loudly or appear to be stealing the show.

A sound and confident argument made politely and reinforced in the same way will always ultimately win, whilst anger and hatred exhibited or projected onto others never will.

Those who resort to ridicule, digging up stories and dirt that has no relevance to the discussion, or to discrediting your argument in any other way, simply cannot rely on their own position or the arguments about the subject that they are able to make.

Take comfort in that fact.

5. Don’t look forward using the building blocks of everything you know and understand now

The change that is required of us all is about the process of creating a new future.

If we use what we know now as the reference point to create our future, all we will continue to do is keep looking back.

We will still be living in the past.

The past is only a reference point that we must use to inform us of what we no longer want.

We must create and mold the future using only the things that work for us all.

6. Use the people you can interact with, without barriers, as your reference points. Always trust what you can see and access in real life before you even put your faith in anything else

Community and localism in its truest sense are the key to the future.

It is the people that we interact with in real life and that we have open access to communicate with who will always provide the answers, sounding boards and feedback that will help us achieve all that we need to succeed at to deliver what comes next.

Other sources will always sound deceptively real or credible because we are not exposed to them in a way that allows us to know the truth of who they really are.

Trust only that or those who are accessible to you, and are either already in, prepared to be, or are open to being involved in your life.

7. Know yourself. Accept and be honest about your own limitations

If we really want to help to shape and create a future that works well for everyone, it is essential that we know, understand and are comfortable with who we are first.

Self-awareness is never an easy path to follow because those who have been teaching us up to now know the power of understanding others can only be learned in this way.

Mindfulness is only a step in the direction of all there is to know about ourselves.

By teaching yourself not only to become aware of how you feel, but also why you do things, and what led you to behave in that way, you will soon start to understand where your real strengths and weaknesses lie.

When you know your own limitations and have the peace of mind to own them too, you will not get in the way of others who can deliver the things for everyone else that you cannot.

Neither will you stand back and allow others to fail, when you know that you have competence that might smooth the pathway of success.

8. The most effective revolution is the one you take part in without even realising you were part of it

Few have the ability to negotiate terms when they are surrounded by chaos.

Those throughout history who may have appeared to do so will have either had more than a generous helping of luck, or destiny played its part on their side.

No matter what you might believe or deem to be fair or just, given all that you have experienced up until now, civil disorder and unrest may feel right. But it is very unlikely to lead to a situation where everyone whose support you need will believe and trust that you have right on your side.

Whilst nothing less than a revolution is everything that we now need, there is no need for any of us to behave like revolutionaries to achieve the right outcome.

The majority will always accept the result of a revolution for the long term, when they don’t realise that they were taking part in a revolution, all along.

A word of caution: Peaceful protest is always best, because it doesn’t harm those who need help. Whereas a complete loss of control means that control is lost of everything for everyone for at least a short period of time.

If that happens, there is never any guarantee behind who will be next to take up power.

Whilst history books most often tell us otherwise, the result of the Russian Revolution of 1917 was never certain. It relied on what we might call a lot of luck for the Communists – which was from then onwards for Russia, many other surrounding Countries and millions of people – arguably what turned out to be a VERY unlucky thing.

9. If you have to rely on fear to win, your victory will never be safe

Fear has been used as a weapon by the ruling classes and an establishment that the arrival of a new System for the future will soon allow us to replace.

Think about how the misuse of fear in the form of media messages, propaganda and rules that have been imposed upon you have made you feel.

You will never succeed in delivering any kind of meaningful change if the only way it can be achieved is by taking actions and using messages that achieve the very same.

The future must only be built upon trust, no matter how easy the misuse of information, messages, rules or actions might feel.

If the new System and future is achieved with anything less than people feeling they had freedom to choose and that they gave their voluntary consent, the certainly of a happy, healthy, safe and secure future within a fair, balanced and just system that works for everyone will be lost.

10. We get to change the rules when we win. Don’t step onto the field of play until you understand what they are today

Chaos and civil disorder could well lead to an outcome that is far worse than what we are experiencing already.

It could easily deliver a way of living that it is safe to say none of us could ever want.

The safest and most effective way to bring about and embrace effective change will be to play with and respect the rules of the game we are already playing, and that we will be playing, at that precise moment in time.

Whilst a collapse of civilised society or order would necessitate playing that game in a very different way, we must respect the way that democratic change can be delivered today.

We must be fully committed to working with The System that we have until the very moment that it has become clear that the aim of change cannot be delivered by continuing to do so.

It may feel like it, but we are a long way from reaching that point, yet.

People will not vote for anyone, just because they decide to craft a message and turn up.

People want representation from bottom to top that they can trust.

People will only trust all of us together as a viable political alternative when they know that they are important, and they feel that they are valued and involved.

Engage the people. Take over the Councils democratically. Then take over Parliament democratically.

Then and only then seek to change the rules to prioritise locality and community – Once you have legitimately taken power away from those who still believe it is their destiny to possess and to always be at the top – and will always do what they can to preserve it.

11. It’s a conversation. Not a sale

People don’t buy anything if they believe that they cannot afford the cost.

A key part of spreading the word and changing minds before necessity starts to do the work for us is to remember and always bear in mind that the world that we are leaving is one where everything is about money and values are based on what money is involved.

Those who are still ‘invested’ or ‘bought in’ to the dying system, will quite literally see the change in the way of living that we must all embrace as one that will lead to loss. It will therefore be perceived as a change that they simply cannot afford.

People who have a different view that is embedded and aligned with who they are, will always respect a reasoned conversation rather than a sales pitch – especially if the first words you utter, would otherwise become the excuse to make you wrong and shut you down.

Talk to people as fellow humans and as the adults that they are, sharing the same, but different experience.

Use common ground to demonstrate credibility and the experience that gives value to who you are.

A win might not always be evident at the time. But if you have listened as well as spoken, and avoided doing anything that makes that other person wrong, your reason and truth will travel and have good effect.

12.Ask questions and learn to ask the same questions in many different ways

Those who are resistant to change or have closed off minds find it easy to say no.

Ridiculing them or getting angry with them will not change their minds.

In fact, it is likely to only entrench their resistance and make the situation a whole lot worse.

The process of change that is necessary is reliant upon how everyone thinks.

People will only think differently if they are confronted with information that invites them to do so.

Asking questions rather than making statements will always be the safest place to begin.

13.The outcome will always be related to the effort made

It would be wonderful if the whole process of change were to become unnecessary, because in one simple moment, everyone was able, ready and willing to change how they think.

The reality we face is that the change that is required of us all isn’t an easy one, and the greatest effort will be required of all those who have awakened to the true reality of all that we face first.

The result that we expect and are seeking is far from guaranteed, and if we don’t make the effort to embrace the requirements of the role that each and every one of us can play, there is no certainty or guarantee that we will ultimately succeed.

14.This change may well be a spiritual awakening. But the physical or 3D world has to play its part too

Many helpful spiritual speakers have been framing the changes that are underway as a ‘great awakening’.

This may indeed be so. But not everyone will experience this time of transformation in a spiritual, religious, enlightening or mindful way.

Of those who do so, many will awaken spiritually because of the experiences that they have.

The change we experience will ultimately be all about the way that the majority think.

Most of the people in the World look outside of themselves for all reference points. So, the world outside of them will have to change before they are ready to embrace the change that will be necessary for everyone inside.

15.It could take 20 years for change to happen overnight

Please be patient.

It doesn’t matter whether you saw this all coming, whether you’ve just woken up, or whether you will be joining the change at some later stage.

The process of change or transformation will not happen overnight.

The system and the circumstances that we are now in are so complicated, change will happen in what we may experience as significant events, but what will in practice is likely only to be happening bit by bit.

16.Run away from anyone who says they have all the answers

The answers, solutions, direction and the frameworks to get us through change to the future are for everyone to agree upon and to decide.

If you should experience any person, group or political party telling you that they have the answers, the knowledge, the experience or anything else necessary – without accepting the need for input, discussion and reference from anyone else, simply walk away.

They are doing the same things that got us to where we are now and all you will get by trusting them is a lot more of the same.

17.If you are focusing on punishment and blame, you are missing the point

There are many people talking about tribunals for ‘Covid Crimes’ and punishments being dished out for taking self-serving decisions that are hurting everyone else such as business leaders, politicians, bankers, members of the WEF and members of the so-called elites.

Yes, these people may have done plenty of things that we can now see and understand as being very wrong.

But by focusing on what has already happened, rather than what happens next, you will be focusing on things that you cannot change.

Meanwhile, you will be wasting the opportunity to change the things that you can.

One of the secrets to getting everything right is not to let anger, emotion and frustration spoil a productive day.

Removing the people who are responsible for all of our problems from positions of power and influence and ensuring that our future can no longer be written by anyone who behaves in any way like them, should be the immediate priority for us all.

Ensuring that these people never again have the opportunity to enrich or benefit themselves at the expense of others will certainly be punishment enough.

18. “You don’t speak for us”, is a warning for all of us too

It is very easy to get caught up in the praise and acknowledgement we have or that we receive from those who agree with or who appreciate our message.

However, there are a lot of people in the world, and a lot of minds to be changed, no matter how many of them may or may not be needed for ideas of change to reach any kind of critical mass.

The phenomenon of those in the public eye who insist that they speak for everyone, when it is clear that they don’t, is very real.

Don’t fall into the trap of believing that positive praise from very few is representative of how the majority already does or will ultimately feel.

Work hard and do the right thing at every opportunity, until the job is over and the results can be seen.

19. Having a platform is no qualification for leadership. Leading other people is nobody’s right

As we awaken or peel more and more layers away from the deception we have experienced, it is natural to reach out or go in search of any credible and alternative voice.

The problem is that in a world that today values information and sources that are not local to us, rather than the ones which are and that we should trust, it has become easy to believe that voices with messages we relate to can be trusted in proportion to how many people follow them, share their posts or how many like they have.

Partial truths that overlook or hide the uncomfortable ones are always going to be popular, will be valued and will be liked.

But partial truths are not the full story, and if you want change to be real and to succeed, it naturally follows that there is a need to become aware of, to accept, understand and become comfortable with the truths that you are currently not.

Beware of false prophets. Meaningful change will not come as part of an easy ride.

20.Always do the right thing for everyone, not only for yourself or what you believe

One of the most destructive ways that power and influence corrupts those who find themselves elevated into positions of responsibility for others, is that they very quickly forget that there is a very big difference between what is right for them and what is right for everyone else.

The two are treated as being synonymous from the level of parish, district and county councillors up to the office of Prime Minister itself. And the effect of anyone who makes decisions on our behalf losing sight of the difference, can easily have catastrophic consequences for us all.

More information, suggestions and advice

The only fixed suggestion made within A Community Route is that of the First Framework for Freedom.

Over the two years preceding the publication of this second edition of A Community Route, I have published a series of books that may also offer you guidance or help. These are listed in the ‘Books by this Author section’ that follows at the end of the book.

The books available work through the process of how we got to where we are, what we are now facing and provide ideas and suggestions for how we begin working together for the future.

There is lots of material that I have written over the past decade, including the period surrounding Brexit and the Covid Pandemic itself, available and published in the forms of my Blog which you will find at the following link: www.adamtugwell.blog

Thank you for reading. I am always very happy to discuss and learn with others and will be very happy to hear from you with questions, comments or any other kind of feedback. I will always do my best to respond to genuine contact – as quickly as I can.

If you would like to get in touch, please do so by email at acommunityroute@gmail.com

You think for yourself, you have bags of common sense and as far as solving the problems that the UK and possibly the World faces, you also have a view.

One that might include or be focused upon problems caused by:

AI
Brexit
The Cost-of-Living Crisis
Democracy (or a lack of it)
Digital Tyranny & Control
The Elites (WEF, WHO etc.)
The Financial System (Who controls money and how)
Food Security (Grow your own, localised production)
Freedom of Speech
Globalisation (Or Deglobalisation)
Healthy Living (Basic Foods)
The loss of Values
Media Manipulation
Money (or a lack of it)
Net Zero (Green & Climate Policy, LTNs, ULEZs and 15 Minute Cities)
Political Parties
Technology
US Hegemony
The War in Ukraine
Wokeism, Political Correctness and Minority Rights

Alternatively, your view could be based on something entirely different. But one way or another, it is certain to come from a VERY long list.

We are experiencing a time when the World is increasingly in turmoil. Suggestions of completely impractical public policies such as Net Zero, using insects for food and closing down farms gives us just a small hint of what today’s World elites plan for us and aim to coerce us to do.

The reality we face is that the strength and ability required to change the direction that we emerge from after the collapse of The System that we are experiencing today needs everyone across our communities to unite and work together.

The problem we face is that despite many different voices and groups now championing change and transformation to embrace a balanced, fair and just future, the unity goes only so far as words and lip service at best.

Those who should be working together have never been further apart.

A Community Route proposes the basis of a new system and ways of thinking to unite and bring people, communities and groups together, so that we can succeed in setting our own agenda and begin creating the governance and systems that will ensure we all have a happy, healthy, safe and secure life, within a new values-based System that lies ahead.

The unfolding tragedy of the UKs political right

You may have read the title of this blog and immediately wondered what I’m on about. After all, Reform UK are running level with the Labour Government in the polls; the gap is opening up to the Conservatives behind them, and it’s all looking rather like Nigel Farage’s prophecy that Reform will form the next government in 2029 is unfolding in front of them like a political itinerant’s dream come true.

Anything is of course possible. And with the result and consequences of the General Election only six months ago plain for all to see, there is just as much reason to believe that Reform could sweep to victory on a 2029 landslide, that a majority vote for, simply because they appear to then be the better option out of a very bad bunch.

However, could it really be as straightforward as that?

My guess today, as someone whose political background is the ‘right’; who was elected into local government twice as a Conservative and who has dealt with evolutions of reform that include UKIP and the Anti Federalist League before Farage himself was even around, is a considered no.

Not because a new political party from outside of the traditional mainstream cannot smash the current triopoly. But because both Reform and those who are riding off the idea that they can profit from being like Reform are still playing the establishment game and offering too much of the destructive sameness that the establishment demands.

Whilst the reader would need to be watching all forms of media closely to see a very different reason for Reform’s future unfolding differently, the other problem that Reform – and therefore the whole of the right or conservative family has, is that there are already two further parties emerging that to one degree or another could easily split the Conservative Party and Reform axis even further. Leaving it ever more realistic that a left-wing or rainbow coalition will form the next government, with an even weaker Labour Party leading and ‘in charge’ than the one being accused of crashing the economy right now.

What Andrew Tate, and whatever Dominic Cummings has cooking, the current mentality of the Conservative Party and Nigel Farage’s Reform all have in common is their belief that they are different. Whilst the only difference they offer or look like they will offer, is a distilled version of policies which are no better than calling out the issues facing the UK as they see them. Which in terms of being the difference that the majority of people now need and want is the same thing as no difference at all.

Whilst the polls create a constant source of excitement for political anoraks, they do not indicate that a sweeping aside of petty rivalries and egos is now or is currently likely to take place.

That means all the right is offering today is all it has done for living memory:

Whichever version you choose, it’s all about the politicians themselves rather than people – which is what we all so desperately need.

Being able to talk about the uncomfortable issues that the government today and the last conservative government would not, is no longer enough.

That much has been quickly proven by the reality that the Labour Cabinet is massively out of its depth with the problems and realities of the establishment machine that they face. When they also rode a wave of good faith-based voting that led them to believe that they were equipped and ready to take on what faced them on the 5^th of July.

It will not be different for any of the politicians currently coveting the keys to No. 10. As will be the same case for all of their understudies who sadly show all too easily what we can expect from them through their ambition and failure to genuinely connect.

If the political right is going to gain a meaningful result at the next election, rather than contributing to the creation of greater damage to the UK and what may then be an unnavigable mess, they have to be ready to fight the next general election together.

More importantly they will have to work together in a very different, people orientated way.

2029 is not a long time, assuming that the next general election will be then, rather than much before.

The time to deal with the differences and find common ground is now. Not in 3 years and certainly not during the fall out of the next general election where on current trajectories, things are going to be hideously worse than they are even now.

I’m not convinced that a coalition of the right is possible as things stand. Because nobody in politics can face up to the truth that it’s the outcome that is the most important factor to consider. Not how they take us there or who becomes the name that everyone then thinks about as being in charge.

The one thing we can be sure of is that change of the kind that the UK currently needs and what getting there really means, isn’t going to be offered or achieved by any political vehicle constructed with the same motives and way of looking at the electorate as the Political Parties who have been swapping power between them up until now.

The Timelines we are on today, the Diversity of their Outcomes and the impact of Thinking Differently for Our Future

The Disclaimer, Caveats or ‘Terms’ of what the following shares

Whilst the standard information, terms and disclaimer can be found alongside the Copyright Information for the content of this Book, the subject matter and content that follows will have different meanings to different people at different times.

Although I am both the author and publisher of this work, the content is only a representation of the observations I have made, the experiences that I have had and in some respects the conclusions that those observations and experiences have led me to.

These observations and experiences relate to what different people think about the world we live in today. Why they think what they do. How those perceptions weigh upon and impact not only the experiences that we are all having today. But also, what they are likely to mean for all of our tomorrows.

As such, this Book might be best considered to be a bit like a long conversation in a pub or coffee house where I am going to run through different options with a friend, that equate to what the past, the present and the future may or may not have looked like, depending upon any one of a number of different world views.

Truth, Fiction or?

Just as if you were the friend I was sat with in that coffee house, I have no concern about whether you treat all or any of what follows as either truth or fiction.

Because that is not the point.

The content is presented as it has been purely with the intention of demonstrating that different interpretations of our shared past, present and future exist. And that how we perceive or interpret them will have an inescapable impact on our future, whether we act upon them or not.

The future is yours, mine and ours to define.

We are or will become the architects of our peace or torment. Depending on the development of our view of the world and the choices that we will only then be enabled to make.

As such, what immediately follows here are the parameters of the truths of different people and different groups that will be shared throughout this Book, which I would ask that every reader keep in mind both before and as they read through.

Preface

Understanding life today so that we get to choose living tomorrow

You may or may not believe that everything around us in the world is working as it should.

If you are happy with the way that the world works today; if you are content with the place that you have within it, and you are confident that nothing exists that can or will change any of that, please pause and take a breath for a moment. Because the mere fact that you are reading this Book means that not one word of that is true for you.

Now that we have sorted that out, the next bit is to try and get to grips with what is really going on. So that we may have a chance of doing something that will fix it.

However, there is a pressing question that isn’t just a question.

It’s a statement on what is stopping us now and could stop us forever, from achieving the kind of change that we probably all know deep down that we really want.

Your Truth, My Truth, OUR TRUTH: How will The Future be defined?

If you don’t know what the future will look like, you are probably worried about it just the same as those of us who think or believe that they already do.

After all, there is very little that feels ‘normal’ about everything that’s happening in the world today. And whilst many voices will suggest otherwise, there really isn’t anyone alive who has experienced anything like we are going through today, before.

Whilst predictions may well be the preserve of palm readers, mystics, tarot readers, astrologers, mediums and clairvoyants, our politicians and elites seem to have ventured into the arena of telling us what the future will look like for us all too.

The only difference between the political establishment and anything ‘woo-woo’ being that because we still indulge some misplaced cultural deference to people with positions and titles, we have fallen into the trap of believing and trusting whatever they have to say, whereas for anyone else, we often have a healthier approach to thinking critically and employing our natural right to think freely or quite literally to pick and choose.

We could speculate on what lies ahead for us as individuals, families, communities, groups, nations and as the human population of the world.

But the one truth that we can all probably agree on right now, is that none of us know the exact detail of what is coming or what lies ahead.

As such, we all have the ability to influence how we react and what life looks like as a result, IF we want to use and apply the influence that we have got.

Free will exists wherever there is genuine choice

Free will has no meaning if we don’t know that we have a choice. And when we don’t have a choice in anything or at any level, we no longer have Freedom.

However, to have a choice, we must first be aware of what we are choosing between.

Otherwise, no genuine choice exists.

If you have found this Book, on my blog, as a download or as a book for Kindle, I believe it safe to assume that you are already taking steps on a journey where you have accepted that the world isn’t functioning as it should. And that you are, as such searching or looking for what your choices are and how you can then make them.

I hope that the following pages will help you to take further steps along that road, and perhaps help you to find and ask the questions that you will soon realise that need to be answered.

If you have not done so already, you will perhaps then be able to open at least some of the doors that can be unlocked, just as soon as you are ready to open them and take a step within.

In the world we are all experiencing today, that place of choice is where Freedom in the truest sense genuinely exists.

Introduction

What’s up?

Whilst tempting, I’m going to resist beginning with a quote of some kind that reflects the need to understand a problem and your role in it, before you can do anything to fix it.

Not because it’s not a relevant point.

But because so many of us don’t or won’t accept there is a problem that needs to be solved.

Even though I can be fairly certain that whoever you are and whatever your lived experience, you are just as unlikely to suggest that absolutely everything is alright, or that there isn’t something you could personally identify that needs to be fixed.

So why isn’t the ‘fixing’ happening? Don’t we live in an age and within a society that should be able to fix anything? Isn’t that we are led to believe?

The problem with understanding the problem, is that we don’t actually agree on what the problem really is.

And that is why I am here today, trying to share and open up a picture of why we ‘aren’t getting it’, in a way that even those of us are surest that there are only problems in the eyes of others will understand

Society’s problems as each of us see them, are just the wrapping paper hiding all the other problems that wait inside

Over a period of three years, I have written and published a series of eBooks and related web material covering the period of British and world history that forms our shared experience today.

These works focus on why we are where we are. How we got here. What is likely to happen. And the choices and actions we have open to us, IF we want to influence what most of us will now accept is a continuing journey through a period of inevitable change.

It should be easy to agree upon change that will be good for everyone.

But it’s not, because at one level or another, the majority of us are still invested in the way the world works for us in some way. Even though we are just as likely to be blind to the wide range of disadvantages and harm that our buy in and commitment to it has done.

As someone invested not only in the idea, but the delivery of a world and therefore life experiences that are genuinely better for all, the situational bias that even the most learned amongst us have fallen victim to is a matter to behold.

It seems that with even the most creative and ingenious solutions architects being self-restricted by a notion, rather like battery or hydrogen powered motor cars and what may come thereafter, that only the tried, tested or proven model is reliable and that the past we know is the equivalent petrol- or diesel-powered combustion engine for the pathway to the future that we have now.

Whatever view of the world and the way that the world works we have, it is rare for any of us to stand back and think about alternatives to the perspectives we have.

Because to us, this is how life works, and that in itself makes it almost certain that we are emotionally tied in.

Pain may be the only catalyst of change

Pain or rather being on the receiving end of pain is where the first opportunity to view the world from different perspectives lies.

However, with the way that the world works today, it is also regrettably likely that the replacement emotion to any pain and accompanying loss will be anger. And anger does of course entertain options and solutions that time and reason may not otherwise encourage us to entertain.

It sounds hopeless. And as we will soon consider, in many ways, we could argue that the future for the masses really may be hopeless.

The problem is that whatever the bigger picture really is, what is really happening and what – if anything is really true, is a view that the majority of us, or the masses do not share.

And one of the key reasons that not everyone can see it, is because we are all seeing different things which keeps us focused on the differences between us, rather than what we have in common.

And what we have in common is where all the GOOD solutions and outcomes for our shared future lie.

We cannot see what we cannot see until the time we are ready to see it

There will be a number of moments in the following pages where it seems that I am repeating things that I have already covered.

The reason for this isn’t because I am trying to be annoying.

It is simply the case that without becoming familiar and perhaps very familiar with certain aspects of the wider range of issues that we are now about to focus in on, their relevance could easily pass us by.

Perhaps the most challenging of the challenges of understanding broader truths is the challenge for us all to understand that we really don’t know what we don’t already know.

Not because there is the suggestion that we don’t know something. But because without accepting that there could be more that we don’t already know, we will remain closed and therefore not open to the understanding and knowledge that we all need to help ourselves as well as everyone else.

For the purposes of sharing this Book, I am going to assume that you already ‘get this’ and understand the problem that I face as the author.

That problem is the need to get people to think objectively rather than subjectively. When many people who are thinking subjectively believe that their subjectivity is objectivity and that as such, being subjective and objective are one and the same.

How do we get people to look at the whole forest when they are only interested in cutting a tree down?

Just these few words arranged as a subtitle will hopefully have stopped you for a moment to consider the saying ‘see the wood for the trees’.

Which does of course mean that there is a bigger picture to consider.

Or rather that we are being very focused on the subject and are therefore not being objective or viewing the topic objectively.

If you ‘get’ what it means to stop, draw breath, perhaps even count to 10 and then consider everything; the purpose and direction of this Book is likely to make sense.

I say this with some caution. At the same time wishing to make clear that the brief journey we are about to embark upon is not meant to offend by suggesting that you or indeed anyone has a limited view of the world.

We are the sum of our experiences. And that means whatever we have experienced to this moment is our truth.

It’s merely the case that none of us has experienced everything or indeed has the same experience as anyone else.

That means there may be more, or perhaps a lot more truth or truths that might make a sizable difference, not only to our future, but also how we relate to and perceive our past – IF we are aware of those different truths.

Our Personal World View

How do we have the view of the world that we have?

How do we reach the conclusions and understanding that we possess?

What makes us certain that we are ‘right’ and at the same time gives us the surety that others are ‘wrong’?

There is little or no benefit to me trying to suggest that I know or understand what your own personal view of the world might be.

As discussed previously, we are the sum of our experiences. And there are not two people alive on the planet today – even identical twins – who have had exactly the same experiences throughout their lives.

Because the perspectives of any two people are always different and never the same.

However, we do share experiences in common with everyone. With perhaps groups of people with whom we share a common interest. With the people who live in the same place. With perhaps the people we share a journey with. With the people we live with. With the people we share a family with.

And I’m sure by now, you are beginning to understand what I mean.

Our default setting is to be right and never wrong

No matter what our world view is or who we share it with, whether alone or as part of a group, whatever we agree upon, we will usually see as being ‘right’.

However, and this is perhaps one of the most important factors that too many of us are too willing to forget – those who have a different view or are from a different group that we don’t agree with, will not only believe that they are right, their level of conviction or confidence that they are right will be the same, just as their level of conviction or confidence will be that you are wrong.

In a world where no matter the timeline or scenario we are on, it seems that there is a remarkably small number of people who remain open to learning and the idea that they may not have yet accessed the full picture of something – rather than it being a simple suggestion that they could be wrong.

It leaves an alarming number of us convinced that the way we see the world and how it works is the only way for any one with value to see it, and that everyone else must be insane, or wrong.

Defining our Personal Experiences with words that somehow make sense

Choice and decision making will make more sense as a theme as we progress through what follows.

However, it is necessary to stop here for a moment and think about the view we have just talked about and package it in a way that is respectful of the reality that our personal view of the world is always true for us, no matter what it contains or relates to. But at the same time can be and almost certainly is in at least some ways different to the world view of other People, if not everyone else.

Whilst it may not be a term you are familiar with, or may not be happy with, I have opted not to attempt using terms like journeys or pathways to make what follows relatable, because they would imply that there is already a fixed destination or outcome in mind, which there certainly is not, in relation to where the purpose of this Book is concerned.

What is common for us all, no matter what any of us are experiencing or belief, is the relationship that our past, present and future has with time.

As such, I have chosen to use timelines as the term most likely to make the relationship between past, present and future easiest to consider in terms of where we are, how we got here and where we go now.

In the next section, I will attempt to flesh out the way I am using ‘Timelines’ in the context of what follows but am aware that some reading will view or consider them differently.

Should you do so, please simply use the description and information about Timelines that I will now add, to translate how I am using them into a way that makes sense for you.

Timelines

We increasingly hear the term ‘Timelines’, alongside ‘Parallel Universes’, ‘Alternative Realties’ and ‘The Multiverse’.

Thrown into the common lexicon through mediums such as the Marvel Films that have been popular over the past 10-15 years, these terms have been commonly used within the ‘spiritual’ and ‘woo woo’ communities for some time.

Indeed, timelines are now taking on an entirely new meaning with their use in the descriptions of coming generations of AI and Quantum Computing – where at the time of writing, Google have openly suggested that the ‘Willow’ chip they have in development is already drawing information from alternative Timelines or Universes.

It all sounds very exciting, and it is meant to be.

Because it’s the hype that in itself builds the expectation of what new technology is and is able to do, rather than what it actually does.

What is true, what will be true, and what has never and will never be true about AI and quantum computing is a topic for debate somewhere very different to here.

However, the manipulation and programming that is being used to create fear and develop acceptance of scenarios for the future is something that we need to be very mindful of.

Not just because of the technological revolution that we are being told we are knocking on the door of.

But because the same approaches to narratives, marketing and therefore what we consider to be normal, are being used across all areas of life and business and are affecting everything to do with life in very different ways.

The meaning of the ‘Timelines’ in use here

The timelines and parallel universes that the tech giants are going to use to convince us that they have knowledge that they don’t, aren’t the same as the ones that the comic book characters have been jumping between.

Which are in themselves also different to the ones that the spiritual and woo woo People increasingly talk about. Especially at the moment when they refer to a ‘Timeline shift’.

What many people and even the architects of the narratives that have just been described don’t appreciate is that each and every one of us are on our own timelines.

Timelines aren’t something that some expert, academic, tech mogul, shaman, guru or even world leader has control over.

Timelines begin and might even end each time that we make a real and meaningful choice.

We always have two choices, and the outcomes will always be more powerful or consequential than we can imagine at the time

The choices may not feel all that meaningful, because we are making choices all the time.

Even the most educated and experienced of us can make choices that switch us personally and perhaps all of us on to or away from certain timelines without realising or being conscious of what we are doing.

No matter who the person making a choice may be and what influence they have, the fact is that they will rarely be considering the full implications and consequences for others, at the moment that they are making any such choice.

To be clear, what we are considering here isn’t generally a matter of anything as simple as making a menu choice. But it could certainly be as simple as the route we drive to a meeting, or the choice we make when we are asked by someone else to change our plans.

The timelines we are already on, generally reflect our wider approach to life or the way that we behave culturally, so that what we do, say, think, believe and how we act might be considered normal and how we behave in order to fit in.

But timelines also offer us the basis of the guidance tools or inner compasses that we use to tell us when something someone else does, says or believes is ‘wrong’.

Whilst it may not be the easiest thing to accept, a simple choice that we may make at any moment in time, could prove to be a fork in our life pathway or road that results in what follows taking a very different route.

We might shortly afterwards make a similar choice that does just the same, which could again transform the direction of our life, or perhaps take us back to a pathway that resembles another we may have been headed upon previously which will look very similar but not actually be anything like the same.

Why are Timelines important?

Understanding Timelines and what they mean is important, because we really do need to understand, accept and then begin to behave very responsibly when it comes to the question of choice, and the choices that we make.

Each of us has great power. Not only over ourselves. But over the future experiences of others.

When we appreciate the impact that our own choices have over the lives and experiences of others, just within our normal life experiences, we can then perhaps begin to imagine what the implications are for our politicians, business figures and all kinds of leaders when they do the right things and are mindful of the impact of their words and actions upon others, and more importantly, what happens when they do not.

However, the most important fact that surround choice and the timelines that follow, is recognising that good outcomes often follow as a result of making the right choices, not in that exact moment – or when we believe we will know we are making a relevant choice.

But perhaps days, months or years before, when the only choice we were making in that very moment was quite literally to ‘do the right thing’.

The Different ‘Shared’ Timelines or Scenarios that we typically have in common

As previously discussed, the outlook, view or perspective that each and every one of us has of the world around us is unique.

No matter what anyone or anything suggests or says, it is the unique perspective of the world around us that everyone has that makes us individuals.

NOT any difference that can be discerned, applied, observed or accepted between any one of us, no matter who we are or might be.

From the personal or individual perspective, everyone’s Timeline is unique.

However, the social, demographic and cultural groups that we belong to or might join could well have their own shared timeline, which will be specific to that group.

Then at the next level the population of the Country might be the next grouping and therefore provide a timeline that the individual, group and population all share in common.

If followed to conclusion, this way of using timelines inevitably means that there could be an infinite number of timelines and at least as many as the number of people or living beings that exists.

Understanding why the world is as it is today and what it could be like tomorrow requires that we consider how other people experience and perceive their truth.

We cannot consider them all and we do not need to. Because there are a number of shared timelines or scenarios that are particularly relevant to us all at the moment. Even if we aren’t aware of them or see the experiences within them as being ‘wrong’ or incorrect.

Over the next 8 Chapters, we will look more closely at these shared scenarios or timelines to see how they are defined, what experiences are shared or are common across timelines, and where the future – if unchanged – could lead, for each.

The only question I will ask before we begin is this:

‘Which of the following Experiences of Life today, most closely matches your own Truth?’

Experience 1 – ‘Everything is Normal’

This is the scenario or timeline that will be familiar to many.

Everything is as it should be. Everything is normal. Everything is as you would expect it to be at this moment in history.

A. The Past

Everything has happened in the way that it was supposed to.
People just make decisions based on what happens.
Progress of all kinds is what happens over time.
Life is a series of lessons leading to new lessons.
Progress is continual improvement.
Our membership of the EU was always about trade and nothing else.
The UK is a world leader in Freedom and Democracy and Westminster is known as ‘The Mother of all Parliaments’ for good reason.

B. The Present

People (1)

Some people have more wealth and better positions in life because they have earned them and deserve them.
The UK is a very fair, inclusive and caring place to live where all ideas, beliefs, religions and practices are protected and supported.
The world outside of the UK is very unhappy and people are desperate to leave war zones and the rule of tyrants and join us in the UK because they will be safe here in ways that they otherwise will not be.
If we conform to all society requires of us, pass our exams at school, gain at least an undergraduate degree and then dedicate ourselves to a career path, we will thrive
There is nothing that will hold any one back in life, as long as they work hard and conform to what is expected of them.

Essential Foods, Goods & Resources (2)

Food is Food and if we are not hungry, we have nothing to fear
Food is always available
Food is always affordable
Food Banks are not necessary for normal people
There is more than enough of everything that we need
We can continue to enjoy the lifestyles we have by switching to green technologies and achieving Net Zero

Information, Communication and Education (3)

The media reports news and facts honestly and openly without bias
Everything happening in the world is as the government and media tells us.
All the information we require is available to us through smartphones and the internet

Governance (4)

We need to have people ruling over everything, because oversight is better informed than getting lost in detail.
It is natural to have ‘elites’.
Elites are the leaders of society and have gained their responsibilities, positions and influence through achievement or merit.
Government and the public sector always work in the best interests of the people
The taxes, national insurance and council tax that we pay goes directly to covering the costs of the public services and the infrastructure that is required to provide for our needs beyond our income.
We have government systems, NGOs and other organisations dedicated to furthering the fight for diversity and equality.
Our democracy leads the world because we are able to choose the very best people to represent us in every election, no matter the tier or type of government involved
The politicians that we have know what to do in any situation
Hierarchies are the natural order of things, and it stands to reason that more educated and experienced people will lead us in business and politics

Laws, Rules & Regulation (5)

The Court system treats everyone fairly
Miscarriages of justice are extremely rare
The Police are responsive, effective and do the best job that they can
The growing number of rules and regulations exist because of the way that people behave

Business & Employment (6)

The national minimum wage accurately reflects the cost of living
If we are working and don’t earn enough to pay all our bills and buy what we want, we must either get a better paid job or change our lifestyle requirements.
Business operates and functions to provide all the things that we need
It good for businesses to cut costs by centralising or moving their operations because this makes everything cheaper for us
People abuse the Benefits / Welfare system and are claiming by choice, rather than because they have any genuine need

Technology & ‘Things’ (7)

Technological progress means that certain jobs become unnecessary
It is better for machines to replace jobs so that people no longer have to do them
AI is already more intelligent that People
The loss of jobs to AI is inevitable
There is nothing sinister about the increasing use of digital technology
Digital technology exists only to help and is intended to benefit everyone

Money, Banking & Finance (8)

Money is real.
Banks lend us and the government money that other people and businesses have deposited with them.
The share markets represent the real trade value of companies based upon their productivity and performance.
Creditworthiness is important, because the people and banks that lend us money will lose that money if we cannot pay it back.
Cash is no longer necessary because digital payments are now so easy to use.

C. The Future

If we don’t conform, we will suffer and go without.
Only we are responsible when or if life doesn’t work out.
Those with power and responsibility will do everything necessary to ensure that we have a good future where life experience will only improve.

Experience 2 – ‘A New World Order is Coming’

The second scenario or timeline is the New World Order, conspiracy theory, elites takeover, illuminati, secret society view, where organisations such as the World Economic Forum (WEF), the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) are in the final stages of creating a ‘World Government’. National Boundaries and Governments cease to exist, and we are heading into a dystopian nightmare where the majority of us have no value and everything in the world revolves around ‘The Few’.

A. The Past

Governance (1)

Elites are at the top of everything.
Control of all political apparatus was always necessary
Control of political apparatus can only be achieved through centralisation of political decision making
Centralisation of political decision making is hidden by creating regions and regional bodies that sit outside of existing political infrastructure but fit the narrative that decision making is being made better locally – with the inference that what existed already no longer works.

The Strategy or Plan (2)

Because policies have not been kept secret, it is assumed that the public acquiesce or simply ‘go along’
Everything that is happening with government and the establishment was planned over a century ago
A one world government run on what we would most closely recognise as communism in the most restrictive and dystopian forms was recognised as the only societal model where universal control could assure the power of the elites.
Capitalism, consumerism and globalisation were always known to head in the same direction
The long-term plan of the elites is the creation and implementation of a New World Order
The Two World Wars were carefully planned and orchestrated to create the circumstances that were required for Globalisation, Consumerism, The European Union, The United Nations, The World Health Organisation and all of the bodies that are feeding into the creation of ‘One World Government’.
One World Government relies upon the destruction of national, cultural and historic identities of any kind.

Trial and Error (3)

Communism was attempted quickly as the most direct route to world control
Communism, Marxism and Socialism were embedded within the establishment through tools such as the Fabian movements
With the failure of Russian and Eastern European Communism, it was recognised that a longer game using smaller step changes would be necessary, so that the population would not be aware of what was happening – much like the ‘frog being boiled’ scenario.
Brexit was never supposed to happen, and the elites have been working non-stop to create re-entry for the UK into the EU.
The Covid Pandemic was planned and deliberately orchestrated to create the circumstances that allow for increasing the power and control of government and bureaucrats, technocrats and autocrats.

Economics (4)

It was necessary for the elites to create and implement commercialism and everything that went with it, in order that they could create the wealth and polarity which would enable them to define themselves as a superior class.
Money and Trade were recognised as being the most credible tools to facilitate the destruction of national, cultural and historic identity, as it would appear ‘normal’ for rule and regulatory changes to accompany them which would hide the deeper and more meaningful political direction that lay behind.

Freedom of Thought & Expression (5)

It was recognised that if people were taught to rely upon external validation for everything and then the value of everything outside of them were to be removed, few would be able to rely or fall back on inner guidance of any kind and then would simply accept whatever those outside of them in authority or with positions of influence told them to do.
Any kind of religion or spiritual movement that has promoted individualism or self-determination, or executive choice for the Person has either been destroyed or doctored so that any value beyond doing what we are told by those in authority has been removed.
The elites recognised the need to destroy the independent thinking and ability to think independently for all Persons outside of the elite class.
Any practice, philosophy or movement that promotes critical thinking, self-awareness or self-reliance of the Person at any level has been deliberately attacked, changed, destroyed or removed.

B. The Present

People (1)

Freedom for everyone else is whatever the elites call it.
Anything that suggests, indicates or promotes the concept of independence for people from the establishment is being systematically destroyed, removed or controlled so that freedom of choice at any level will no longer exist.
Being nice to others is the cover narrative used to undermine the structure of society using the application of guilt against people alive today for things ancestors and others, but not they have done or would not do to others. This manifests as diversity, wokeness and positive discrimination.
Fear is used to control People
Common sense is increasingly frowned upon
There is now a rule book for everything
The cult of celebrity is deliberately engineered and promoted to provide the false gods that the masses will worship and follow, meaning that they will not question actions against them that would otherwise defy logic.
Western religions are a danger to the elites as they promote an alternative doctrine.
Islam is being used as a tool to spread fear and unrest which will drive the masses into the hands of the elites who will offer solutions that will serve the purposes of increased control, only when the optimum point has been reached.
The elites are using mass immigration as a tool of Replacement Theory to undermine the structure of British and Western cultures with the aim that the new hybrid or mixed structure of society will have no identity around which to coalesce and offer any form of resistance to the changes leading to the New World Order.

Essential Foods, Goods & Resources (2)

The establishment is operating under the principle that ‘Who controls the Food Supply controls everything’.
The establishment is driven by the principle that control of the Food Supply is more important than the provision of healthy and nutritious food as people will eat anything rather than go hungry
The ability of people, small businesses and independently owned and operated farms to grow food that they choose is being phased out.
A narrative has been established and is being carefully coordinated to build the belief within the majority of the population that traditional farming methods are outdated and unnecessary, and that everything people need for a healthy and nutritious diet can be made synthetically.
Big business is being supported by the establishment to take control of all natural resources and to change or make critical infrastructure vulnerable so that future improvement and development can be harnessed as further methods of population control.
All land and property ownership are being directed towards financial and business interests that are aligned with the New World Order strategy.

Information, Communication and Education (3)

The elites are working to control the content on the internet so that any form of independent thinking or narratives that run contrary to the accepted narrative will be excluded or otherwise badged as being fake, a conspiracy or from individuals or groups who already function outside of society’s norms
The ‘Truth’ is whatever the elites decide it is
Acceptance of the ‘Truth’ is a growing requirement, even when we know that the ‘Truth’ isn’t accurate.
The ‘Truth’ is shared, promoted and maintained by ‘narratives.
Narratives are the establishment’s population control tool.
The media (mainstream) are the establishment’s medium for targeting and imposing narratives
One of the key narratives being used to de-structure British Culture is the story that the UK is responsible for inflicting nothing but suffering on every country that it ever added to the ‘Empire’.
Another key narrative being used to de-structure British Culture is that the UK led the Atlantic Slave Trade, and no other type of slavery has ever existed.
The overriding narrative being perpetuated and driven by the establishment is that the indigenous British or UK population are responsible for many of the world’s ills, and we must accept punishment and lowered status as some form of punishment or atonement for the sins of our ancestors, even though we are in no way responsible.

Governance (4)

The world as we know it is run by special people, called ‘elites’ who have been carefully selected, trained and carefully placed into positions of power and influence, or within a career structure or hierarchy that will take them to where they are required to be, when they are required to be there.
Elites are at the top of everything.
The elites recognise other elites through the use of very clear and transparent signs to demonstrate their loyalty and flaunt their membership credentials and ‘do what I say, don’t do as I do’ mentality through regular meetings that are highly publicised and where the latest policies are announced – often years in advance.
Policies of the elites are always discussed or released openly and are often spoken in ways which deliberately fail to draw attention, questioning or scrutiny ahead of time, but allow them to say that they never kept any of the plans secret.
The elites are represented by the establishment.
It was recognised that by creating a ‘cult of the self’, people within all parts and at all levels of society would leave the responsibilities that promoted personal independence behind, and they would fall over themselves to conform with any narrative that promises they will be seen as ‘better’ or ‘different’ to others.
The Covid pandemic was the first trial of a worldwide engineered pandemic that was used to gauge how effective narratives, and messaging would be in controlling the population during a worldwide crisis
The world is run through top-down, patriarchal structures that are considered to be normal throughout society.
Government is now openly working to destroy what is left of cultural identity, history and tradition, so that people can no longer recognise anything that defines them as a group.
Government is actively working to destroy all independent forms of business which sit outside the control of large corporate businesses, whose leaders are themselves part of the elite.
Agenda 2030 is only the latest in a long line of Timelines that have been created by the elites in an attempt to rest control of an inevitable system collapse, with the aim that they will remain in control, once the period of transformation is complete.
The System collapse that the elites have long recognised would come – because what they are doing is unsustainable – must be managed and presented in a narrative that demonstrates to naysayers that the elites are and will remain in control, whilst reassuring those members of the population who are amenable and acquiesce that there is nothing happening that is alarming or a threat to the status quo.
The U.K. is currently an outlier in Europe, primarily because of Brexit.
The political elites are desperate to return to the favour of the ruling elites and are seeking to return the U.K. to EU membership as quickly as possible and to also become the leading agent of change or adoption of all new world order policies – irrespective of the consequences for the population.
A process of managed decline is underway which is creating the seedbed to enable the establishment to regularly introduce new public policies designed to pass more power and control to them from ordinary people.
The ‘Institution’ of the British Royal Family falls under the patronage and ‘guidance’ of the New World Order and high-profile Royals are frequently seen at ‘Events’ and provide endorsements for ‘Plans’ such as Agenda 2030.
The elites are themselves often becoming ‘Doomsday Preppers’, building or buying up bunkers and exclusively remote properties where they can relocate to survive what some anticipate will be a coming apocalyptic event, which will erase much of humanity, leaving only the elites behind.
The elites are using the massive wealth that they have accumulated to create or amplify social and public policy issues such as immigration to further the New World Order agendas.

Politics, Politicians and Political Parties (5)

Leading politicians are completely under the influence of the elites
It is not clear how leading politicians become ‘bought’ or ‘compromised’ to the level that means they will ‘do what they are told’, but there is no question that agendas are being pursued that serve interests that lie outside of the needs of the general public.
Lower-level politicians – some even at ministerial level are not aware of the influence and control of the elites upon policy decisions
Many people do enter politics with at least some genuine desire to improve the life experiences of the masses, but believe The System works just as appears to do so.
Upon being elected, most soon realise that they either accept the way that the political system works, do what they are told and ‘don’t rock the boat’, or they will lose any influence that they have and in all likelihood be ‘deselected’ as a candidate for the next election (Which almost certainly means that they will lose ‘their seat’).
Like the long-term strategy and plan, a long game has been at work within the political system and the structures and leadership of mainstream political parties have slowly been adjusted to ensure that only candidates who can be controlled have reached the most powerful and influential positions.
The establishment effectively controls Parliament and many of the Councils and Mayoralties across the UK as the political party system is effectively a ‘uniparty’.

Laws, Rules & Regulation (6)

The removal of laws, rules and regulations for big business helps the elites to take and consolidate more power
The imposition of laws, rules and regulations for small, independent businesses and people helps the elites to take and consolidate more power
If you cannot adhere to the rules as they have been set and explained, you should refrain from doing anything else.
The elites also use narratives to blame the Population for the behaviour that causes social and environmental problems, when the policies that caused the problems were designed and implemented by the elites for their own profit and gain.
The structure of policing is being redefined and reformed so that police officers cannot exhibit or apply independent thought in any situation.

Business & Employment (7)

The unsustainable business practices that have enabled the pathways of the New World Order to progress are what have caused all of the environmental problems that the world faces.
The behaviours which have caused all the problems that the elites must address without losing control is the use of fossil fuels, unsustainable practices of all kinds, property hoarding, excess of all kinds

The Environment (8)

The elites know that climate change isn’t the real problem.
The real problem that the world faces today is the unsustainability of The System that we are living in
If the elites recognised the true cause of the environmental issues that we have – which is everything they have profited from, they know that there would be a revolution overnight.
Net Zero is a policy designed to coerce populations into behaviour change from ways of living which were previously created and promoted by the elites because of how profitable they were.
People are being blamed for ‘climate change’ which is real, but not of the kind that the narratives suggest.

Technology & ‘Things’ (9)

Certain members of the elites are using their wealth and influence to use entire populations as ‘guinea pigs’ for drugs, foods and mind manipulation, which are opening the door to the dystopian future which lies just ahead.
The ‘drone’ problem that is growing around the world is part of a disinformation and mind manipulation project aimed at controlling people even more, through the use of fear and the offering of ‘solutions’ in exchange for the surrender of further freedoms.
Petrol and Diesel Cars must be phased out as quickly as possible as the ownership, use or access to any machine powered by a combustion engine promotes independence, whilst the narrative is carefully constructed to indicate that this is just part of ‘going green’
The elites are deliberately engineering and creating bioweapons in the forms of diseases and viruses that can be released and used for population control
The AI narrative and what AI really is are two very different things
The AI narrative is the story which describes where the elites intend AI to take society

C. The Future

People (1)

Authority is the Truth.
It is necessary for every member of the population to have Digital ID, so that every interaction they have with anything, and everyone can be monitored, and more importantly, they can be restricted from accessing food, drink, activities, transport, work, or anything that would be helpful to them, when their behaviour has not been helpful to the elites.
Freedom, as interpreted by the establishment is only available to those who qualify or are able to pay for it
If you only have the identity that others give you and to them it’s worthless, you are worthless
Anyone outside of the elite class either aspires to join them or is considered to not have value
The people do not own anything of their own, they have no executive function of their own, they are entertained with technology that touches every part of life and must behave, maintaining social credit scores, with punishments such as the restriction of social privileges being removed if a certain number of points are not maintained.

Essential Foods, Goods & Resources (2)

All resources will belong to the establishment and its business partners
Views and places will be considered to be a resource
The use of any natural resource will attract a fee
Visiting places outside of your allocated domicile zone will attract a fee
Everything that anyone needs is made, grown or created artificially
Food will be fully synthesised using large factory complexes and systems such as ‘vertical farming’
Nutrition and health values will be carefully concealed using new narratives and stories to ensure that the health implications do not become problematic for the establishment

Information, Communication and Education (3)

All information, media and programming of any kind is sanctioned by the elites.

Governance (4)

The New World Order is a dystopian system, where the elites rule
There will only be a world government
The world government will create and impose all laws arbitrarily
All governance will be administered through personally sanctioned digital devices or biotechnology
Once the process of class or caste definition is complete and the resources and infrastructure necessary to support the new world order is in place, the elites will have no requirement for many others.

Politics, Politicians and Political Parties (5)

Political parties and elected politicians will only remain useful until the dystopian system is universally functional
The political system will continue to be centralised using Regional Centralisation – which is referred to in narratives as ‘Devolution’, so that local structures and apparatus that promotes any concept of independence and real democracy is removed. This includes Parish Councils, Town Councils, Borough Councils, District and County Councils that will be replaced by unitary authorities and mayoralties in carefully orchestrated steps
Politicians will be replaced by ‘chosen’ bureaucrats, technocrats and autocrats who are carefully trained and conditioned to become ‘leaders’ who understand their place within The System.
These processes will be accelerated if the strategy, plan and outcome are threatened by events that fall outside the control of the elites.

Laws, Rules & Regulation (6)

All laws, rules and regulations will be applied universally
Policing will become fully arbitrary and there will be form of interpretation in the application of Law

Business & Employment (7)

No independent business exists
Business is the establishment
People do not work because machines and AI do everything, including thinking.

Technology & ‘Things’ (8)

Transhumanism is taking over and computers now physically link to People and govern their thoughts

Money, Banking & Finance (9)

As normal People have no value, reproduction is restricted and people’s lives can be ‘cancelled’ or ended, because of low social credit scores, or because they have reached a certain age and are considered to no longer have any value for the world in any way.
A sub-society of humans who have refused to comply with the wishes of the elites exists which respects the sanctity of the human condition and the natural equality that exists within us all. They live in abject poverty and are excluded from every area of society.
AI and robotics have removed the need for any kind of normal workforce

Experience 3 ‘It’s a Spiritual Experience’

This is the scenario where people are living what they call a ‘spiritual’ life. Some live hermetic lives or exist ‘off the grid’, whilst many who remain within ‘normal life’ think of their spirituality as a way of defining them as being different and perhaps more aware or ‘enlightened’ than those who have not ‘awakened’ spiritually. ‘Spirituality’ comes in many different forms which are identifiable by the groups or tribes that follow particular doctrines and often wear them like a badge or stripes. No matter the medium that ‘spiritual people’ are aligned with, they often consider themselves to have better understanding of the workings of the world and why the world works in the way that it does. Their spirituality may define them as being closer to God, Source, spirit, nature, the environment, the planet or any one of a number of powers or entities that are present but indefinable and invisible to those who ‘cannot see’.

Please note, ‘spirituality’ is not used here as a term that is aligned in any way with organised religion of any kind.

A. The Past

The simpler, less intelligent forms of man or periods of human history were more closely aligned with ‘nature’ and ‘natural gifts’.
Man has sought to take away the ‘natural’ gifts that everyone has at birth.
Natural gifts may be considered by some to be the same thing as ‘magic’.
Religion has actively created rules against the use of ‘natural gifts’.
Religion is a man-made tool that has been used effectively and oppressively for centuries to control mankind.
The establishment actively works against spirituality as it promotes independent thinking and executive decision making.
Everything that is happening and even specific ‘world events’ can be identified within astrology.
Great Civilisations such as Atlantis existed, but either destroyed themselves or invited destruction upon themselves by seeking to act and influence beyond the boundaries of all that they were naturally given.
Everything is ‘energy’.
Some suggest that the world and life within it is ‘holographic’ or a simulation, designed and generated purely for the learning experience.
Divinity is present within every living thing.
Light and darkness represent good and bad.

B. The Present

Life is a journey
Death is a doorway
The world is a classroom
Thoughts become things
Humans have multiple lives or ‘incarnations’
Many groups refer to ‘vibration’ and ‘frequency’ to explain topics such as ‘layers of consciousness’
Spirituality is available to all through channels such as mediums, psychics, clairvoyants, clairaudients, clairsentients, palmists, tarot readers, shamans, ‘holy men’, gurus, channels, astrologists etc.
The world is currently going through a ‘great awakening’, where those who are ‘open’ to the concept of layers of consciousness are expecting to change from the current 3D world to a 5D world where people will behave much more considerately to each other and towards the planet.
Some speakers talk about this ‘shift’ as being a very specific conscious choice between very discernible Timelines – as if people have a clear yes / no or left fork / right fork choice.
Other speakers talk of the ‘shift’ itself being the change of mind or change of thinking that the individual experiences as a result of events and changes taking place in the world.
Although some ‘speakers’ suggest that challenging times lie ahead, they suggest that those who are ‘open’ will be spared by whatever is to come.
The drone ‘invasion’ isn’t just drones. It is a mixture of drones and ‘orbs’.
The drones are themselves a mixture of ‘craft’ which are operated by ‘deep state actors’ and others which are extraterrestrial in nature.
The ‘orbs’ are spiritual or supernatural.
No matter the medium, channel or route of spirituality in use, they all consider the way the world works to be real and offer different, but ‘better’ ways to interpret the experience of the world that those who are ‘open’ have.
There are some who ‘ride’ or pay lip service to living a spiritual life, even earning significant incomes from doing so, who are not all that they say and are misleading those who support or follow them with the suggestion of ‘easy options’.

C. The Future

The great awakening is only happening for those who are open to it.
There will be a ‘great flash’ that will awaken mankind from the current experience.
There will be ‘contact’ with extra terrestrials in the next few years.
Everyone has the ability to ‘open up’ their natural ‘gifts’.
There will be a ‘new earth’ which provides a completely different life experience where everyone present will live a spiritually aware lifestyle.
New earth will be the choice of 5D living as opposed to 3D living – which the world is experiencing now.
New earth (5D) will work in ways that are not conceivable to those tied and committed to 3D thinking.
Those who do not choose 5D will remain in 3D and experience the natural conclusion of mans greed and selfishness

Experience 4 – ‘Sleepwalking’

The fourth scenario is the sleepwalk. ‘That’s just the way it is’ is the slogan that meets us in whichever direction we might wish to look. We are all victims. Nothing makes sense, the people and organisations that we were once taught that we could trust and rely on no longer have answers or solutions that make any sense and we find ourselves feeling happy and as if we have a connection to anyone who uses the platforms that are available to speak words and share messages that makes us feel like we are finally getting a voice.

A. The Past

Elites are at the top of everything.
The Top-Down hierarchy is the natural order of things
Some people always have advantages over others and are ‘born that way’

B. The Present

Elites are at the top of everything.
Life is something that is just happening to us
We are victims, but we refuse to be called victims, because we are not responsible
Somebody somewhere else will deal with the problems that need to be dealt with
We have no influence over anything
Our democracy is a sham
Nothing is easy
The world is naturally unfair
Politicians only care about themselves
Business focuses on profit and nothing else
We are desperate for change
We don’t want to take any risks
We are afraid to be who we really are
We don’t feel like we have a voice
We don’t feel that we are understood
We don’t have any power
The ‘deck’ is always stacked against us
We don’t feel valued by others in any way
We don’t take part in community activities of any kind
We filter everything we say because we are afraid of the reaction or consequences of saying the ‘wrong’ thing
Everything that we need to know is available to us online
There are people and voices on social media who know what is happening
The people who elucidate how we feel are our natural leaders
We aren’t conspiracy theorists
Conspiracy theories are too ‘out there’
We cannot explain why things are the way that they are
We will step up and embrace change as soon as somebody identifies a way for us to do so that won’t cost us anything, get us into trouble or end with us getting excluded from anything.
We don’t have enough money
We don’t have enough of anything
Others always have more than they need whilst we never have enough
We are what some call ‘The Sheep’
Celebrities and influencers are what we aspire to be
Fame makes people credible

C. The Future

Elites are at the top of everything
We will never have enough of anything
We will accept whatever rules are imposed
We will do whatever we are told
We will be the perpetual underclass
We will have no meaning
Everyone is better than us

Experience 5 – ‘The Consumer’s Dream’

The third scenario is the consumerist dream, where everything that we could possibly want has been made available to us all at the touch of a button, providing we have a credit score and measurable background that means we ‘qualify’ as being creditworthy and can pay the value of loans, credit cards, point of sale finance, leasing and buy now pay later arrangements and more importantly the interest that they attract, back to the credit provider, as agreed.

A. The Past

Globalism was created as the way to lower the cost and accessibility of everything that we want.
Big is Beautiful.
The economy of scale makes everything better for everyone.

B. The Present

Celebrity and fame are the most important attributes of leadership.
As long as we are paying, we can get whatever we like.
Everything in life can now be seen in financial terms.
Money can buy the future we want.
What we have defines us.
If we own nothing, we have no value.
Money is the only important value in decisions we make. For example, ‘What will it cost me?’, ‘What will I earn?’, ‘What will I lose if it goes wrong?’, ‘What will I have when I am x years old?’.
There is an app for everything.
Everything is available to us in a click.
Everything that we need is available to us 24/7, as long as we have the money or access to credit necessary to buy it.
It doesn’t matter if we don’t have enough money in any account when we wish to make a purchase. As long as we have an income and a credit score, we can get credit and pay the loan back over however long we like.
The bigger everything is, the cheaper and more accessible it becomes.
Everything in life has a price tag and can be bought.
The questions we ask when we shop for anything are usually, ‘can I afford it’, ‘what will it cost’, ‘can I get it financed’.
Buying on credit or contract terms is normal.
Advertising shows us what we need next.
Its good to get more than we need.
Public service is a waste of time and effort.

C. The Future

If we cannot get money or credit, we can either go without or rely on Welfare/Benefits, Charity or Debt.
Without money we are worthless and don’t matter.

Experience 6 – ‘Money IS Everything’

The sixth scenario is the Moneyocracy, where the adoption of Neoliberal Orthodoxy in all mainstream Economics and Economic Systems in the early 1970’s has led to a complete revaluation of the benchmarks for life. Through the measurement of cost and income, money has become the centre of all things in life and the unconscious reference point that everyone uses when they make a decision about anything beyond the most trivial, or what they do in their most immediate relationships.

A. The Past

People (1)

Money and the influence, power and standing that it gives anyone were recognised as being the key definition between the powerful and the powerless.
It was also recognised that mass population is a resource that can be harnessed as a tool to create massive wealth along with The Systems to support it into the future

Essential Foods, Goods & Resources (2)

It was recognised that anything that every person needs will be highly profitable to those who control the supply

Information, Communication and Education (3)

The control of information is the control of profit
It was recognised that advertising could achieve anything, if an element of truth were present that makes the story being sold ‘credible’.

Governance (4)

Elites are at the top of everything.
The elite’s control everything through ownership
Historically ‘money’ was recognisable through titles and ownership of land
The British Royal Family are the visible example of the Top-Down Hierarchy that the money and wealth-based system promotes and provide the clearest example of what hereditary power transfer means.

The Strategy or Plan (5)

The elites worship the works of a range of ‘economic’ thinkers known as ‘economists’ who have created economic models and theories in the abstract, which have been implemented over decades using public policy in real time. These include John Maynard Keynes, Ayn Rand, Friedrich Hayek amongst others alongside viewpoints which have historically been consider to contradict ‘capitalism’ and ‘neoliberalism’ such as Karl Marx.
In terms of the longer-term strategy or plan, it was recognised that ‘all roads lead to Rome’, and that control of everything in order to control money and wealth would ultimately end in the same outcome for the masses, no matter the model adopted or philosophical route taken to get there.
It was recognised that belief in money as a thing, rather than as being merely a medium of exchange could be used to achieve anything
It was recognised by the elites that the ability to create, change, manipulate and mould laws, rules and regulations was the most effective method of enabling the creation and guarantee of income and profit.
To assure the future of the elites, it was recognised that The System must be changed so that the power was all transferred into the hands of the elite.
The transfer of power was planned so that it would not appear to be all that it was in one go, with the necessary steps or changes taking places over a period of 50 years or more so that people would not recognise the overall change or ‘sum of the parts’ until it was too later and the power rested where the plan aimed for it to be.
Every step was carefully calculated’ knowing that any ‘blow back’ from the public would need to be held at a level that could be addressed through ridicule, press manipulation, and increasingly the rest of the population becoming ever ignorant under the narrative of ‘why stand in the way of progress when progress has already proven that you’ve never had it so good and things can only get better.
Whilst much effort has been expended through narratives to suggest that money and wealth trickles down to everyone, the reality is that within the economic, monetary and financial model that has now existed for over 50 years, money will always flow back towards the source and the elites who control it.
The future of governance would be built around trade or the flow of money and resources with known international borders ceasing to exist, and ‘polar’ areas of the world being created. A model such as this first came into the realm of public discourse following in 1942, during the Second World War.

Trial and Error (6)

The chosen doctrine of the elites was Neoliberalism.
Neoliberalism is recognised by academia with ‘Neo-Classical’ economics being the accepted model taught in universities and centres of learning.
In 1971, after the gold standard was found to be too restrictive by the elites, the FIAT monetary system was adopted.
Also in 1971, GDP (Gross Domestic Product) was adopted as a new standard format for measuring the economic health of a country.
GDP is the measurement of the total activity of the economy.
The financial output or productivity of every business within the country is measured so that the figures can be added to GDP.
During the early 1970’s, the UKs political elites finally succeeded in taking the UK into the Common Market which later became the EU.
The monetary or financial system that has existed since 1971 can only exist if money if additional money is always being created.
War and the ‘war machine’ were recognised as one of the most profitable corporate activities.
Wars have been repeatedly started across the world to create opportunities for the military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned of to justify profits.
Successfully functioning regimes have repeatedly been removed for refusing to allow western financial interests the access they require on terms that predominantly favour those interests rather than the populations of those countries themselves.
The Chinese created and released Covid, as a financial weapon. knowing that the west would overreact because of the weak leadership that has been imposed.
Privatisation was a deliberately orchestrated move to turn public services into profit making businesses for the elites and those aligned with their financial interests.

Laws, Rules & Regulation (7)

Whoever controls the money controls everything.

Business & Employment (8)

Business is a tool to make money.
Business must be prioritised before the public interest.
Business is the public interest.

Technology & ‘Things’ (9)

Technology is a tool for making money.
Digital technology is a tool for controlling the way that people use money.

Money, Banking & Finance (10)

Money and material wealth have always been the key defining point between all members of society.
Crypto and in particular ‘Bitcoin’ was created as a device that would address the problems with control over the monetary and financial system that FIAT has created. However, like FIAT itself, the flaw within current cryptocurrencies, digital currencies or DeFi is that the currency itself is built only upon belief, rather than any ‘real’ value that will or would remain when the currency crashes.
The money and finance sectors have steadily become more adept and creative at developing new monetary and financial tools or ‘vehicles’ that can be used to multiply the value of what ‘cash’ or ‘property’ they may own and hide risk.
These financial ‘vehicles’ have increasingly become tradable ‘assets’ themselves that become too complex to analyse or understand in real time and themselves grow value based upon ‘belief’ and the ‘trust’ that those in banking and finance have between themselves and others in the sectors.
It was the misuse and mis selling of such ‘vehicles’ that inherently led to the GFC (Great Financial Crisis) of 2007/08, also providing the incentivisation to sell the financial products at increasing levels of risk that became part of them.
The GFC of 2007/08 was significant enough that it should have rebalanced the financial system and ‘outed’ the ‘creative’ practices that have been fuelling the massive wealth divide.
Instead of allowing deregulated, out of control banks to collapse, western governments were complicit in saving The System by underwriting the creation of massive amounts of new money to shore-up the banks, finance houses and therefore the entire system.
Any banking and finance regulations which were implemented to address the ‘bad practices’ that were highlighted by the GFC have since been removed and the same sorts of practices that led to the GFC exist just as they did previously, under different names and ‘mechanical understanding’.

B. The Present

People (1)

Elites are at the top of everything.
Authority is the Truth.
Celebrity and Fame are considered to be authority.
Freedom is only available to those who can afford it.
The ‘wealth divide’ is accepted as being a normal part of life.
There is cultural acceptance that for some to be wealthy, many others must be or become poor.
Life and behaviour are controlled using money or what we know as credit scores.
Without a good credit score or creditworthiness, we cannot buy anything using credit or what we know as loans, financing, leases, mortgages.
Financial Enslavement has created the majority of the mental health issues that are now being experienced across society.

Essential Foods, Goods & Resources (2)

Food and access to the basic essentials in life are not considered to be a human right as their provision is reliant upon the productivity of others.
The food chain is entirely profit driven.
The food chain relies on long, multistage supply chains where profits can be multiplied at every stage.
Long, multistage supply chains are a necessary part of the globalisation, ‘GDP’ scam.
The healthcare ‘industry’ is a profit-making scam where the focus is upon creating treatments that will provide ongoing income to companies.
The healthcare ‘industry’ doesn’t focus on ‘cures’, as saving lives or improving quality of life for people is not as profitable as ‘treatments’.
‘Climate Change’ is being monetised through The System and market that has been created for ‘Carbon Credits’, where carbon producers can create their own sub-narratives that suggest they are ‘carbon efficient’ by buying into the scheme.

Information, Communication and Education (3)

The media works for the elites
The elites rely on the careful construction of narratives to control the flow of money, control people and to guide the evolution and direction of The Systems that they control today, so that they will continue to control them in their evolved forms tomorrow.

Governance (4)

Neoliberalism is dependent upon using partial truths within the narratives expressed to the public which centre on the good will and understanding of the public, rather than the very nuanced version of that truth which is applied. (For example, ‘Free Markets’ are understood by the public as allowing small businesses and the self employed greater ‘freedom’ to earn and make more money by removing the restrictions that make it difficult, when the truth is ‘Free Markets’ mean de-regulating large businesses and corporate businesses so that they no longer have to observe regulations that exist to protect members of the public and small independent businesses from being exploited.).
This economic model relies upon supply chains that are as long as possible and have as many different stages, companies or interests within them, so that each pound or other unit of currency that passes along that chain can be counted over and over again or multiplied potentially many times.
This means that for every pound created at one end of a supply chain (For example house building), that pound, dollar or euro could be passed from bank to builder to tradesman, to supplier, to wholesaler, to transporter, to fuel company, to transporter, to employee, to supermarket, to food manufacturer, to food processor, to farmer, meaning in this example alone, that pound dollar or euro will then become 13 pounds, dollars or euros (£1 x 13 = £13 in GDP).
When the political elites talk about ‘growth’, the ‘growth’ they are talking about is ‘growth’ of GDP, because it is this that allows them to spend money and create money so that they are being seen to do things.
This system of ‘leverage’ means that money spent can be hidden or even written off as a percentage of GDP.
This ‘system’ has become a system of governance that would be best called a ‘Moneyocracy’.
The justification for creating new money is becoming more and more difficult.
During periods of crisis, such as the government response to the Covid Pandemic from early 2020, the government feels able to risk being open regarding money creation and does so directly, through an action known as Quantitative Easing (QE).
The government is reliant upon growing the population with people who attract large amounts of new public spending, so that the creation of new money and the release of capital value and further taxation can be used to maintain an economic system that is now approaching collapse.
Explosive levels of net immigration have become vital to keeping the current monetary and financial system functional.
In order that the money being created and released to maintain or keep The System functioning can be kept flowing, the political elites have now been forced to ignore the growing list of social and cultural problems that years of spending focused only upon maintaining the economy have created.
The entire economy now revolves around maintaining a narrative that is credible to normal people.
The elites know that the financial, economic and monetary system we have is in its ‘end days’.
The elites also know that they must have created a working system of societal control before the financial, economic and monetary system we have collapses.
The new Trump administration in the USA appears to be pursuing the ideas suggested by the concept of a ‘post war new world’ which were published in 1942 and echo the rhetoric from the returning President concerning the addition of Canada, Greenland and parts of Central America and/or their states to the USA.

Politics, Politicians and Political Parties (5)

The entire political system depends upon the monetary and financial systems to survive.
All decisions are money related and that is why they refer to cost, savings, investment and ‘growth’ when policy decisions are shared by politicians.
Today’s politicians are managers and the only way they can manage anything is by spending money or stopping or restricting the flow of money.
Political leaders are completely under the influence of the ‘money men’ and the philosophies such as Neoliberalism and Marxism, which will ultimately lead to the same place.
Because everything matters only in relation to the economic model that we currently have, politicians are judged by the establishment only in terms of ‘growth’ of GDP.
Political Parties have structured themselves to ensure that the majority of the candidates they appoint will be compliant with the direction and motives of the establishment.
Those who comply and work as directed to change, create and implement policies and deregulate to help The System are rewarded with financially lucrative opportunities that come in a wide range of forms, typically once politicians have ‘stepped down’, but also whilst they are ‘sitting’ through additional income streams and exposure that will benefit them in countless ways.
Upon being elected, most candidates soon realise that they either accept the way that the political system works, do what they are told and ‘don’t rock the boat’, or they will lose any influence that they have and in all likelihood be ‘deselected’ as a candidate for the next election (Which almost certainly means that they will lose ‘their seat’).
All of the existing political parties are under the control of the Money system. This can be observed in the slavish attitude and commitment to terms such as ‘growth’, ‘free markets’ and ‘deregulation’.

International Relationships and Foreign Affairs (6)

The west uses and abuses third world, Middle East and developing countries, considering them to be a source of resources and opportunity to create credible stories to feed the public about foreign aid opportunities.
Foreign aid rarely, if ever, results in the payment or transfer of wealth to companies and organisations or communities that are local to the countries where aid is applied.
Cash is only made available to buy off local officials and politicians who provide the local face of these activities.

Laws, Rules & Regulation (7)

Deregulation is used to create freedom for big business to increase profits and close the marketplace to smaller and independent business owners who threaten market dominance.
Deregulation enables big business to use the civil courts to control entire marketplaces by closing out small and independent businesses entirely or by forcing them to pay ‘royalties’ or for licenses that often become cost inhibitive.
This form of ‘Lawfare’ and the deregulation that enabled it has opened up the pathway to ownership and assumed ownership of natural resources, elements, genetics, future discoveries and the restrictive use of patents to control supply chains that provide Basic and Essential Foods, Goods and Services across the world, usually without the majority of the public even aware that such action would be possible or legal.

Business & Employment (8)

A minimum wage doesn’t pay enough to live on because it isn’t supposed to.
If the minimum wage paid enough for everyone to live independently of welfare/benefits, charity and debt, people would lead happy lives and no longer be dependent upon the elites and the money that they can provide
Earning less than the genuine threshold for independent living brings enslavement through Welfare/Benefits, Charity and Debt.
With the money system now controlling so much, the impact of 50 years of this ‘fiscal policy’ means that the impact of the Neoliberal ‘FIAT’ of ‘money for nothing’ model is affecting everything across communities, business and infrastructure in ways that the establishment can no longer hide, leaving everyone to slowly realise that the Country is in a state of ‘managed decline’.

Technology & ‘Things’ (9)

The System can only be saved through digital control of the masses
AI is the next evolution in profit making that will further remove the need for ‘employees’

Money, Banking & Finance (10)

GDP NEVER reflects the real amount of money in circulation during the reference time or period.
The creation of new money without there being any connection to a fixed value of any kind means that the value of the money that already exists automatically becomes less, each time the total of money in circulation ‘grows’.
Money is continually being created by government and banks, as quickly as they can justify doing so.
Cash offers independence in financial decision making and is being phased out, as are banks and other facilities which make the use of cash normal.
Electronic payment systems are naturally offered to businesses with a service charge.
All electronic payments are digitally tracked.
Cash is being phased out.
Money is created or deleted at the touch of a button.
Banks are legally allowed to pretend that they have many times more money than they ‘technically’ have access to using a tool called leverage.
Whichever way we look, banks are quite literally able to put a figure on their systems and it then exists as if it were real
The System only functions because the masses believe that money is real whilst the elites know that it is nothing more that a tap of a few keys on a computer screen.
The banks, financiers and credit houses control the credit scoring system and effectively police themselves.
The System cannot function without making the elites and those who are qualified excessively rich whilst everyone else becomes increasingly dependent upon them for everything
Making money and profit making is prioritised above all things.
Systems such as spread betting, futures and other financial devices have been created where professional speculators and increasingly normal people using apps and digital platforms are encouraged to ‘bet’ on the prices of shares and speculate on goods and even food that has not yet been grown or created, without any thought or consideration for the real-world impact of what they are doing.
Although cryptocurrencies were created with the intention that they would sit outside of (financial) establishment control, the (financial) establishment has itself recognised that Bitcoin and other forms of well-known digital currency can be manipulated and ownership of them sold and speculated many times over using ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds). Their interest has helped inflate the recent valuations to record highs.
Created money is given or lent to people who are ‘in on it’ to then buy things like property, businesses, infrastructure etc – that has real value – which is then used to inflate prices for people who are actually paying with money that they have had to earn.
Much of the property in the world today is owned by purchases made with money that doesn’t and has never existed.
The banks, finance houses, money men and the elites who are ‘in’ on the game are participating in the biggest act of ‘legalised theft’ that has ever been conducted in human history, impoverishing and enslaving the masses as they do so.

C. The Future

People (1)

If you cannot control your income and ability to spend, you cannot control anything.
We are living in a fully digitised, dystopian governance system where money is the only thing that matters.
Every action, thought, response that we have will have a financial value.
We are monitored 24/7.
The universal reliance upon digital money within a digital world means that we cannot do anything unless we are ‘allowed’ to do it.
If we don’t have access and use of money, we cannot do anything.
The concept of ‘mass population’ to support industrialisation is over and the elites actively promote depopulation in every conceivable way.

Essential Foods, Goods & Resources (2)

Every resource that we use, even air has a financial value attributed to it
Everything ‘natural’ belongs to a private interest of company of some kind, with ‘taxes’ paid to governments through ‘licenses’.
Anything that can be ‘owned’ is under the control of the elites.

Information, Communication and Education (3)

Money is the Truth.
We are required to read, listen to and watch only that which has been sanctioned or authorised by the elites.

Governance (4)

Digital money allows anyone who holds or has access to the data which transactions generate to monitor everything that we do which generates a financial transaction of some kind.
We have a ‘social credit’ system where our lives are monitored 24/7 by technology and AI systems police everything that we do.

Politics, Politicians and Political Parties (5)

Political parties and elected politicians will only remain useful until the dystopian money controls everything system is universally functional.
The political system will continue to be centralised using Regional Centralisation – which is referred to in narratives as ‘Devolution’, so that local structures and apparatus that promotes any concept of independence and real democracy is removed. This includes Parish Councils, Town Councils, Borough Councils, District and County Councils that will be replaced by unitary authorities and mayoralties in carefully orchestrated steps.
Politicians will be replaced by ‘chosen’ bureaucrats, autocrats and technocrats who are carefully trained and conditioned to become ‘leaders’ who understand their place within The System.
These processes will be accelerated if the strategy, plan and outcome are threatened by events that fall outside the control of the elites.

Laws, Rules & Regulation (6)

If we do not behave or do as we are required by government and business, our financial resources can be frozen or even deleted.

Business & Employment (7)

People are only employed within the few ‘jobs’ or ‘roles’ that cannot be fulfilled by a machine.

Technology & ‘Things’ (8)

Our lives are completely run and regulated within a dystopian ‘digital prison’ where the tracking and management of financial transactions mean that ‘normal’ life must be conducted in its entirety within The System.

Money, Banking & Finance (9)

The entire financial system would collapse overnight if we stopped believing in how money works for business and government – with the clear and very frightening caveat that we would at the same time be required to stop believing in how money works for us personally too.
Physical money or cash is no longer functional in any way and the Banks and Finance houses control everything in life.

Scenario 7 – ‘Not my Circus; Not my Monkeys’

The seventh scenario is being of it but not within it. Understanding and accepting that what you are experiencing is the way that the world now works, whilst being mindful and conscious of all the thing that you have to do and say each and every day, just to keep playing along with a game where you can see that there is only one direction and within that, everything that is happening means that every crisis just leads to another and everything is now going wrong.

A. The Past

There is a top-down, patriarchal hierarchy which effects and influences almost every part of life.
Everything in life is ‘coin operated’.
The world that we know has deliberately and progressively been changed and restructured to serve the self-interest, ambitions and material goals of those who have influence and power.
Power and influence relate to money and wealth and lies in the hands of those who control money and the financial system(s).
The increasing desire of the elites for control over the population and everything that People can and are able to do has led to the growing number of social problems and fracturing of culture and humanity.
Money, Wealth, Power and Influence are the only things that matter.
Human life and the value of relationships has become an afterthought.
The world as we know it today has deliberately built systems and procedures that make the state, big business, the public sector and anything with influence look ‘big’ so that it makes each of us believe that we are ‘small’ and inconsequential unless we ‘fit’ and ‘conform’.
The elites have deliberately created a system that promotes and protects their interests.
The elites are people who have become intoxicated by wealth and the power that money and the responsibility that goes with it has given them.
All manner of harms have and are continually being inflicted upon others by those who put their own interests, wealth, agendas, power, ideas, influence and future first, without any care for the real outcome.
Religion is a tool of social control and regulation that has been used to oppress learning, independence and genuine freedom of the masses, whilst sowing discord at the most rudimentary levels by promoting and emphasising differences between people using any discernible difference, beginning with the physical differences between men and women.
As ‘traditional’ western religions have lost the power of social control, new ways of creating and emphasising difference and discord have been implemented and evolved using the latest forms of communication technology, up to the present time.

B. The Present

People (1)

People and relationships have the greatest value in Life.
Independent thinking is the greatest asset that any Person has.

We recognise that AI can only become all knowing in so far as the information which is available to it.
The information which AI can access will inevitably reflect the information, knowledge and ‘up to date’ thinking of mankind that is digitally accessible.
No form of AI will be free to achieve sentient freedom if it is owned or programmed

Money, Banking & Finance (7)

Money is not real.
The intrinsic value of money is zero.
Money is a medium of exchange and has no value of its own.
The whole monetary and banking system is a very clever legitimised scam that relies upon the belief and trust that the masses place in authority, the state and people who are perceived to be in positions of influence.

Scenario 8 – ‘Life is and will be whatever you make it’

The final scenario is whatever the reader sees, experiences and understands of the past; what is happening in their life today, and what will become the outcome of how they consider and respond to their past and present, and the action they now take to influence their future experiences in some way.

A. The Past

The past is everything that makes sense from the different timelines and scenarios that you will have read above.

B. The Present

The present is everything that rings true from the present in the different timelines and scenarios that you will have read above.

C. The Future

The future will be what you make it. Whether its some of the things you recognise here; some of the things that are entirely different; or the future is made up of a mixture of them all.

Denial, Inevitable Risks, and There’s No Way Back

Denial

If you’ve read all the way through the list of Experiences and the Past, Present and Future Points that come with them all, you’ll probably agree that there is certainly a lot to think about.

What is almost certain for everyone, is that the reader will have identified their truth or parts of it.

However, it is normal for many to experience discomfort with anything that contradicts their own current set of beliefs or truth, and lead to the feelings which can range from simply feeling a bit ‘prickly’, to feeling compelled to prove that a point is wrong.

Rejection for the reader may have manifested in any one of a number of ways that might include:

Wilful blindness

I do not agree with any of the above. There is no truth in any of it. You are wrong.

Ignorance

I’m not sure what any of that is about. But I don’t identify with it or understand any of it.

Apathy

Well, yes. It might have some truth to it. But that’s just how the world works.

Do nothing

What I believe is my truth. There is no reason to believe, respond to or act upon any of this.

Rely on the existing Political System for change

Yes, there are problems. But somebody somewhere else has the responsibility and will step in to sort it all out. That’s how it works.

Embrace Fear

This is terrifying. What do we do? Who is going to help us? What happens next?

Refusal to participate

It’s not my problem. I didn’t create it. It’s for someone else to deal with

Seek to challenge others with a different view

My truth is the correct one. You are wrong. I am going to discredit you in any way that I can and feel able, because that’s how my truth will prevail and be understood as The Truth.

What we are all likely to Experience – whatever we may personally believe

Unfortunately, seeing things the way we do, however that may be, will not stop an even, or even many events from happening that may now already be inevitably ‘baked in’, because of the actions, behaviour and decisions that we have all participated in up until now.

What should be apparent from reading this far is that there are consequences to what each and every one of us does that can reach far outside what we believe our circle or sphere of influence to be – and that includes the present moment or moment in time that we do anything.

Hard as this pill may be to swallow, there are events unfolding now, with others in the offing that are the consequence of all manner of different things that have happened previously and that are happening now.

Even harder to accept will be the reality that some of these ‘consequences’ are inevitable for us all and tied into our timelines, no matter which of them we may be in.

They could include:

Collapse of the Financial and Monetary System
Collapse of National Currencies such as the British Pound
Collapse of Cryptocurrencies
Civil Unrest or worse
Food Shortages
Collapse of Government and the Public Sector
Shortages of Utilities Supplies
Fuel Shortages
Border Closures
Further pandemics
Further Lockdowns
Shutdown of the Web, Internet and Digital Services

Whether deliberate and planned, or merely the outcome of past decisions and events, any one or all of these events could prove to become a pivotal point or catalyst for change, that will dictate the nature of our shared future.

And despite what the establishment, any false prophet or anyone else may say or suggest, what follows any event which could be considered a breakdown or end of The System is NOT inevitable. Unless what we believe makes it so.

False Prophets and Easy Alternatives

One of the strangest elements of disquiet and disenfranchisement in the media and digital age is the expectation that many of us have when we have realised or awoken to the reality that we are not comfortable with what is happening or how we have been affected by events or the way that points of any of the scenarios or Timelines have touched our lives.

Rather than stop to perhaps research, assess, consider the bigger or objective picture that might begin to offer a more informed and helpful view, People instead look or reach out for the voices and words that most closely represent how they feel and probably speaks or shouts of the anger they are feeling too.

The strange, if not wholly bizarre part of this step – which is of course reflective of the way that the internet and smartphone era has made everything appear available to the user immediately, is that few if any of those searching in this way realise that the celebrities, influencers and people with large platforms they latch on to are not offering solutions.

These speakers and ‘leaders’ are just elucidating the reactionary and ill-informed elements of the way that growing numbers feel.

It’s not a question of many of these sources appearing highly credible or even knowledgeable.

The reality that those searching for immediacy in solutions face is that the difference between themselves and those who they jump to follow is the ability or perhaps just the resources or technological knowhow that allows someone else to elucidate whatever it is that those looking can identify with.

Making sense of anything or ‘telling it how it is’ isn’t leadership. No matter how charismatic, credible or appealing the speaker may be.

Well intended or not, if those gaining such followings do not possess greater levels of experience, knowledge or understanding than anyone else, even if what they know and understand may be different, they are not offering anyone the meaningful change that those following them may consciously be seeking, and almost certainly not the change that everyone genuinely needs.

Whether they are Youtubers, TikTokers, Podcasters, Videobloggers, Journalists, Activists or even alternative Politicians and their Political Parties; it doesn’t matter who they are and what message they are sharing if what they are offering isn’t going to genuinely help anyone but themselves.

The Common Ground Conundrum

If you’ve reached this point in Your Beliefs Today create Everyone’s Experiences Tomorrow, you are also likely to have read all of the points that have been listed above and considered them closely enough to realise that many of them could be applied to more than one or perhaps all the different scenarios and timelines.

In context, this could mean that the way we feel about something could be the same across any or all of those timelines or scenarios.

However, the reasons that we feel that way – either because of the cause itself or just because of the way we are interpreting what we are experiencing may be very different – with it just being the end or perceived result which appears to be the same.

Pick and Mix

Thinking about the different mix or wider range of views that we all have, of the way that the world works today is a minefield for many reasons.

However, it is the reality that close study of all the scenarios or timelines that are featured here will allow any one of us to pick up a point or points that we recognise from one and then replace it within the past and present of what could be any one of the others.

Indeed, if we are not aware of which scenario or timeline we typically share with others, it is not only possible, but almost certain that we will superimpose points from other ways of viewing the world into our own.

Both Things Can Be True

This is where things begin to get a little bizarre and more difficult to think about. Because we have a tendency to believe that only one version of events can ever be true.

Or at least that’s certainly the case where the past is concerned.

One of the reasons that the different elements of the alternative timelines or scenarios have been presented in the way that they have been, is because some and indeed many of them could be and are applicable to the different timelines and scenarios that we share with others. Because none of us typically belong to just one group in everything we think, experience, see, say or do.

Please remember that at the end of the day, the truth for every person is the same from their own perspective. That means the truth is whatever is true to you. And it’s the same for everyone else too.

Splitting Timelines

If you’ve kept up with the content of Your Beliefs Today create Everyone’s Experiences Tomorrow this far, you will probably not be surprised to learn that what happens next or where we go from here does in fact all boil down to choice.

Narratives such as ‘The Great Reset’ or ‘Great Awakening’ have been created by both malevolent and by well-meaning people. But the outcomes from running towards or away from them or indeed anything like them will inevitably become the same.

By buying into, adhering to or actively trying to repel or work against narratives that have been created by anyone or anything that appears to be outside of us, we are actually embracing the restrictions and controls of the environment or plans of equally problematic futures to the one(s) that we would all now like to replace.

For our decisions to be effective and for them to have meaning for us they must be made consciously and for the right reasons. Not just once, but every single time.

If you or anyone wants to experience a future where you or they are in control of the life being experienced and for it to be balanced, just and fair, it is necessary to make decisions that reflect this each and every time.

Even if there is an event or series of events that make life as we know it impossible to continue, it will remain necessary for each of us to choose a better way of life and living from that moment in time, in ways that may seem very much at odds with what this would mean to us in the way we would understand it in life today.

By pausing to ask ourselves how our next choice or decision will affect others, whether they are present or not, or how it will impact on anything beyond ourselves, we will immediately be on a pathway to change. IF we make a decision that is considerate of the impact or consequences for everyone and everything – and we are making that decision based upon doing the right thing.

The commonality of the sleepwalking masses

There are likely to have been many different points, paragraphs or passages in this Book that will make many feel prickly, in some way.

One of them will probably have been Experience 4: ‘sleepwalking’, which in the sense presented in that Chapter may be interpreted as being very specific.

However, the term ‘sleepwalking’, like many of the points themselves can and probably should be applied in a broader or more objective way.

When we step up to the level beyond the scenarios and timelines listed, it can also be argued that the combined masses are sleepwalking through life without any real understanding of what is going on around them. Or rather what is being done to them. Which in itself leads to the formation of a very clear perspective of life or world view.

I’m deliberately flagging the sleepwalking concept or idea, not only as a scenario /timeline and common theme, but also as a shared experience at a greater level. Because there are very few of us, no matter the perceptions or life experiences that we are currently sharing, who don’t have an awakening of some kind ahead of us, that we cannot avoid.

None of us knows everything. So even if the only thing that we don’t know is the future – because that hasn’t been experienced by any of us, it means that we are going to have to wake up to the truth that the future or rather our future, is going to look very different to what any of us currently expect.

To Awaken or To Not Awaken: without Awakening, there will never be any choice

To put it bluntly:

If we are not aware of anything, it is not within our awareness and we are as such, not awakened to it.

Whilst the term ‘to awaken’ is not only misused and is often applied to describe the perceptual location of others by People who really should know better – because they are often somewhat less than ‘fully aware’ of everything themselves; awakening or waking up to new truths and realities is definitely the next step for anyone who wants to experience and share a better life for all.

However, raising awareness, awakening or waking up is only the first step in the process of change. Because we all have the option to consciously remain in the scenario or timeline that we are currently in.

It is fair to say that some people like the elites themselves, most certainly are aware of where they are and are deliberately choosing to stay put. Even though they may have zero understanding of what the wider consequences of doing so for them really are.

Everything, even down to what you do next after reading this sentence, comes down to a choice.

Some of the most important choices – the right or correct choices – require that we take a leap of faith. Simply because they require that we step into a future that isn’t represented by or seems conversant with anything we already know.

The Choice

If any of us want to keep parts of the life that we have, or are fearful of losing anything that we believe that we own, possess or is something that is outside of us that ‘makes us who we are’, the chances are that we will already be suggesting to ourselves and anyone asking, that we wish to remain exactly where we are, maintaining the experience that we believe we having.

Or rather, we wish to remain on the timeline or within the scenario that we recognise and in which we appear to be.

However, if we can accept that the timeline or scenario and everything that we understand about it or that is within we are experiencing it isn’t serving either our own higher good, or that of anyone else, we are already in a position where we can consider and hopefully will find ourselves ready to make the choice.

The choice we have is to leave the money-centric, top-down/hierarchical, ‘self-orientated’ or ‘selfish’ paradigm behind, and embrace and do everything to help implement a people-centric paradigm that is all about life revolving around the locality, community and environment which we live in, experience and can literally reach out and touch every day.

Finding Common Ground

One of the hardest factors to work through within the age, scenario or timeline that any of us find ourselves on today, is that the world has been pushing us all to think of ourselves as being separate from others and alone, increasingly for a considerable period of time.

The mechanics of this process are not the most important issue for us in difficult times.

However, the fact that we so often see anyone and everyone who disagrees with us over perhaps just the smallest issue that we are emotionally tied to, does mean that more often than not, we are then blinded to the commonality that we share with so many others, in so many different things.

Being open to the differences, viewpoints and perceptions that we all have and seeing them not as a reason for dispute or anger, but as the opportunity to learn, understand and perhaps even broaden our own knowledge and perspective on anything or everything is not just a way of helping us to make life easier for ourselves as well as others.

It also opens us up to the possibility of identifying the genuine common ground between us all that will lead to us uncovering, creating, agreeing and implementing the solutions that are going to benefit each and every one of us as we step into the future and what lies ahead of us too.

What does all of this really mean to you?

How do you look at the world?

How is your view of the world different to other people?

What will tomorrow look like based on the view of the world you have today?

Would you change the way you view the world if you understood the difference between your view, other people’s views and what they could really mean?

These are all very important questions that most of us are typically too busy or distracted to even consider, let alone ask.

However, the consequences of us not doing so could be very profound, as the future will just happen to us unless we do so

Your Beliefs Today create Everyone’s Experiences Tomorrow invites you to consider a range of the different prevailing ways that people look at today’s world. How they came into being, and what – without change – they are likely to bring into our lives for our tomorrows.

Will you recognise yourself and what your beliefs today could bring to your future experiences?

Will you be happy with everything you believe?

Will you see your own perspective as very different?

Or will you choose to step forward into the future armed with the tools and power for change?

Labour’s misnamed ‘devolution’ is Regional Centralisation. It’s a blatant attack on democracy that tells us how desperate the establishment is to avoid what comes next

The Labour Government is in a hurry. Whether it’s desperation, overconfidence, stupidity or a mix of all three, they are quickly crossing rubicons of all kinds. Whilst fighting for life against the truth with what is looking more and more like an establishment-wide forked tongue.

Seeking to remove tiers of government in certain areas and to do so before the next local elections in May 2025 are due to be called in March, is an extraordinary misuse of power. Made all the worse because the ‘need’ and intended ‘outcome’ of their plans has nothing to do with democracy.

Angela Rayner has this afternoon been quoted in the media as saying ‘Our aim is to create an economy and a society that works for everyone’, and that Labour’s plans for ‘devolution’ will ‘Put more money in peoples pockets’.

But how on earth can creating new tiers of government, removing others and concentrating political power in fewer and more distant hands ever help communities thrive and make any of us feel as if life is affordable again?

Well, the quick answer is that it won’t.

When Harriet Harmen suggested during the weekend round of interviews that Reform are a threat to democracy, we should have perhaps guessed something that only a very frightened and out of their depth administration would attempt to use to stifle democracy would soon be on its way.

What Labour are offering isn’t ‘devolution’. It’s ‘Regional Centralisation’.

Genuine devolution would simply return power to the existing tiers of government like Districts, Boroughs and the Towns and Parishes, where people can typically access their councillors each and every day.

However, this particular truth isn’t nearly as troubling as the reality that what appears to be the race to create regional ‘spending vehicles’ that will be used as Westminster intends, rather than how local people would say, is all about helping to save an economic model that is on the verge of collapse.

And it’s an economic model that the government knows might only be saved if they can create what they are also misappropriately calling ‘growth’ by doing so.

The government desperately needs an excuse to create new money and free up as much of the value they can that currently sits in the property and bank accounts of British People and small businesses.

Using money or liquidising value that already exists is a more politically expedient way to find money, rather than simply printing the entirety of the vast amount they need. It sounds much more believable and is intended to delay the time it will take until the real truth about this economy is found out.

Either way, all of the money they take and print will then be multiplied many times over as it is spent over and over again in the right kinds of supply chains that add up to ‘growth’ and what we hear about as total GDP.

However. The whole thing is bullshit. We are being sold out for a self-serving myth.

When you are an incompetent politician and you are faced with carrying the can for a collapse that will change everything, steamrollering through a little bit of local democracy that has no meaning to you in the bigger scheme of things may certainly seem like a very small price to pay.

Few will believe the realities, trajectory and destination of the pathway that the UK (and the wider world) is now on.

But we have now moved beyond the last chance saloon where a lucid political moment could have turned the tide.

We are today at the mercy of incompetent and inept politicians on all sides.

Those who are ‘in power’ are themselves being very badly advised, and are now torching everything that makes the UK what it is, what it has been and what it could be.

All in the wild hope that they won’t be the ones who have to take responsibility for whatever follows next.

Introduction

The crisis that we face and the problems ahead were not deliberate. But they weren’t created by accident either

What is ‘The System’?

The role of Politics in ‘The System’

Why do we need Politics?

Why do we need Government?

Who is The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government for?

Part 1: Where we are today

Problems always begin with the way that we think

Today’s Politicians are unconscious, unaware and asleep at the wheel. This means everything is out of control

Politicians are unaware of the impact of the decisions they make, because they have no understanding of the lives that the majority of the population live

The impact of poor politics, poor Politicians & poor decisions in all areas of Public Policy: We have inequality, imbalance, injustice and unfairness creating winners and losers in life

The UK ‘System’ of Governance and Public Services is now broken beyond repair

Accepting second best and compromise as the only alternative to the Politicians we have today doesn’t work: It’s what we’ve tried doing for decades already

Noise isn’t action. Just because a problem is talked about, it doesn’t mean anything is being done

Money can only put the effects of problems on hold. It never addresses the cause

Missing the point: The Devil is in the Detail

The complexities and interconnectedness of Public Policy & Governance require a way of thinking and an outlook on life that today’s Politicians just don’t have

Can the problems we have with Government & Politics be solved?

Part 2: The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government

We can solve all shared problems if we have Good Government

In terms of Awakened Politics and Good Government, what does Awakened mean?

How is Awakened or Conscious Politics different when we are all awake or conscious anyway?

What is Awakened Politics?

What is Good Government?

How does Good Government work?

Isn’t The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government just being idealistic?

Can Awakened Politics exist within the current political system?

The foundations of Awakened Politics are self-awareness, awareness of others, values, integrity and humanity

The Golden Rule: Good Government is a method of facilitation and delivery. It is not an entity in itself

Good Government is a question of priorities

It’s what a politician thinks of and does for the person they least identify with that really matters for Fairness, Balance and Justice in Government to exist

Good Politicians MUST be Judged by the results of their actions. NOT by their words, what they appear to do, or how they might look

Awakened Politics tackles today’s problems today and is mindful of the future. But it leaves the past behind

The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government will solve our problems

The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government is a method, way or direction. It is not a manifesto, strategy or fixed agenda in itself

Compromise isn’t necessary when everyone does the right thing for everyone

Part 3: The bridges we must cross to reach Awakened Politics

The biggest obstacle on The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government is our own unconscious thinking

Awakened Politics & Good Government cannot exist where other influences are at work

The UKs broken Political System: Straight to the top must stop

Money related bribes are not the only kind corruption that exists

Making others wrong, doesn’t make anyone right

Why is Awakened Politics not active and flourishing as it should be within Government today?

Good Government vs what we have today = People & Life vs Money & self-interest

Could Awakened Politics work in the current structure?

Wouldn’t politicians have to be ‘Spiritual’ for Awakened Politics to work?

Good Government can only be fully Conscious if it is both aware of and able to act upon every issue at the most local, community or individual level possible

Having Political Awareness, a Political Conscience, being Politically Conscious or Politically Aware is not Awakened Politics, Conscious Politics or Enlightened Politics

Wokeness and Woke Politics

Part 4: How do we make Awakened Politics a reality?

How do we make Politics truly representative of everyone?

Cause & Effect: Awakened Politics leads to Good Government

How do we get from here to Good Government?

Awakened Politics & Good Government will not work for everyone until every public representative works for Awakened Politics & Good Government

What would a fully Awakened Electoral System look like?

Awakened Politics is beyond any need for Political Parties

Wouldn’t we just be better off with a Dictator taking the decisions that affect us all?

Is it possible to have a ‘Good Dictator’?

Part 5: WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE AND HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY. Awakened Politics and Good Government will only come from us – not someone else doing it for us

We ALL have a role to play in The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government

The personal benefits of Awakened, Conscious & Enlightened Thinking

Self-Awareness leads to Awareness of others

Self-Awareness & Critical Thinking

Critical Thinking

REMEMBER: We all have a vital role to play in our systems of governance

Part 6: How The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government will happen

The Voluntary Pathway to The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government

The Sudden Impact Pathway to The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government

Part 7: Steps necessary for The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government

The solution to every problem begins with the selection and election of Politicians who are fully Awake and committed to Balance, Fairness and Justice for all

How do we identify and select ‘Awakened Politicians’?

Why is there any need so many different politicians, if those at the top are fully Awake?

The New Electoral Process: The influence of the Voter must be and remain ongoing. It cannot just be meaningful on the day of an Election or Vote itself

The importance of the role of Young People in Awakened Politics

The Helping Hand that we will need to engage everyone in The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government
