Vibration Isn't Charge

Vibration is of frequency, higher or lower by degrees; " Negative " and " Positive " are properly descriptors of Charge.

The New Age Movement

When New Age gurus speak of " positive vibration " and " negative vibration ", that is like saying " salty cold " - gibberish! They also teach that you can switch your " vibration " from negative to positive just by thinking positive thoughts. In practice, this often becomes just putting on a Happy Mask - that's not how it works.

How It Works

Charge can be strong or weak, positive or negative; vibration is simply high or low. They are related ( see below ), but they are not the same thing.

If you have a negative charge, that's holding your vibration down; you need to switch the charge from negative to positive. Once you become aware that you have a negative charge, you first need to wean yourself off it; when you achieve weak positive charge ( positive charge is your natural state - negative energy beings are literally addicted ), nurture it for a time, and see if you can fan those embers into strong positive charge. Then it becomes possible to raise your vibration significantly, and keep it there.

You can rise to high vibration with negative charge, but it requires a strong negative charge, and you have to be really Evil to achieve that ( e.g., raping/killing ). Most people in this world at this point in time have weak negative charge, because they

> have been under attack their entire lives
> don't want to be Evil, but
> don't understand How It Works

A Few Examples will illustrate the point:

1.) Enron mo'fo's = high vibration + strong negative charge; their material needs are way taken care of, which Standard Fluffy Mysticism would equate with " positive vibration ", but their charge is so strongly negative that they feel they have a right to benefit from harming others ( so that, if their victims fail to effectively defend themselves, then " they brought it on themselves ." )

2.) Musician Jimmy Buffet, and Hollywood actor Jeff Bridges = high vibration + strong positive charge; both are very financially/materially successful, without having to do anything they don't want to, and without harming others.

3.) A person who is homeless and starving = low vibration + negative charge ( could be strong or weak ); blame, anger, fear/anxiety.

4.) Most people in the U.S.A. = low vibration + weak negative charge; so they have to struggle, expending a ton of time and physical & mental energy to try to overcome low vibration, with varying levels of " success ."

Reality

The word " negative " is from the Latin verb " negare ", which means " to deny "; in this ( metaphysical ) context, it means " to deny Reality ", or even " to reject The Truth " ( The Logos says, " I am The Truth, and The Way " ).

Telling the truth is always positive.
Lying is always negative.

The Natural Order

In my article " The 1 True Religion "
( www.jeffreybrauer.blogspot.com - January 2005 archive ) I referred to The Natural Order, and the need to live according to, or in harmony with, it.

Well, what does that mean? Here is an example to get you started.

Time

Facts of Nature

The Day is a Fact of Nature; it is 1 complete revolution of the Earth on its axis.

The Year is also a Fact of Nature; it is 1 complete orbit of the Earth around the Sun.

The seasons are facts of nature, and they matter to the subject of The Natural Order, but in our society, we do not use them in time-keeping.

The Month is based on Nature, but the months we use in our current calendrical system are not the same as the months in Nature.

Day and Night are Facts of Nature, of course, as is Noon; Noon is when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky. Therefore, the Morning ( from dawn to noon ) and the Afternoon ( from noon to sunset ) are also facts of Nature.

Midnight, being exactly halfway between 2 Noons, is legitimate, even though it is a concept and not a Fact of Nature.

( For more on the difference between Facts of Nature and Man-made Facts, see Ayn Rand's " Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology ". )

Lies

The Second, the Minute ( 60 seconds ), the Hour ( 60 minutes ), and the Week ( of 7 Days ) are fiction; they are lies. In Reality, they do not exist.

Why, then, do you behave as though they exist?

Conspiracy Fact

The totality of the evidence strongly indicates that the Human Race is under attack ( see my article " Alchemy 4 Dummies " - January 2005 archive, for what to do about it ) by a group of beings/entities ( demons/aliens/whatever ) that have been described ( www.cassiopaea.org ) as " para-physical ".

Why do I mention this? Well, " they " seem to find it very important to get you to accept lies; there's some sort of energy relationship to that which is essential in keeping you "plugged into the Matrix ", as it were.

So here we have a good example of 1 of the more massive & dominating techniques to do this; if they can get you to accept that Seconds, Minutes, Hours, and Weeks - as presently defined - are real, and to behave according to that lie, then they have you literally lying all day, every day. ( If some different definition, 1 based on Nature, could be offered, that would be a different story. ) Seconds, Minutes, Hours, and Weeks are something that most people take for granted and do not question ( " We accept the reality with which we're presented " - The Truman Show ).

And so you begin to see why I equated The Logos with both " The Truth " and " The Natural Order ".

Metanoia

It is not enough to recognize the concept - you must actually change your behavior. Your ability to change your behavior is limited by the need to interact with society to some degree, but you can bring your own behavior into harmony with The Natural Order by some amount, and we can lead a revolution in society when the opportunity presents itself ( it will, and soon ).

What would we, as a society, do if we rejected this particular lie? Perhaps instead of " February 3, 2005 ", we would say " Day 34, the Year 2005, in the Month of Aquarius ". With that system, instead of the 7 day week, how would the " work week " work? Obviously, there would not be a work week; perhaps everyone could work every other day, with half the people working the even-numbered days, and the other half working on the odd-numbered days. Everyone would get off the holidays, except for essential personnel ( police, fire, military ). It's not the only system that could be Good, but it would be true to Nature, unlike the present system.

What " time " is your alarm set for? It's a lie.

The energy is waiting for you ( see " The Pillar of Celestial Fire " by Robert Cox ). You have to actually do it.

Did Someone Say Revolution?

I mentioned the word revolution in the above section; it's a word that gets used a lot, but not always in its correct meaning ( is the new product from Chevrolet really a " revolution "? ).

Revolution means " a radical change compared to the way things were done before " ( hey, that's not a bad definition for metanoia ... ).

Well, if we're gonna have a revolution, we may as well have a new Constitution:

Proposal for a New Constitution of the United States of America

Update June 9, 2012

My thinking on this has evolved.

Preamble

We, the people of the United States of America, hereby state the following to be true:

That all humans have, by factor of being human, certain rights, and that these include, but by no means are limited to, the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;

That any legitimate Government must have the protection of the people as its highest priority;

That Government is necessary, and can be Good;

That corporations are property, and that property does not have rights;

That the current Government has given corporations rights equal to, and in some cases exceeding, those of humans; and that, therefore, the current Government of the United States is illegitimate, and should be replaced with a legitimate 1.

The Government

There are currently 50 State governments + 1 National government, each as sovereign from each other as the National government is from the national governments of other nations ( that system is called " Federal " ). That is ridiculous and unacceptable; 51 Governments is 50 too many. 1 Nation must have 1 Government; It should be Unitarian and Unicameral.

That Government should have 3 levels: city, state, and national. The national level & the state level both should have 3 branches: Leglislative, Executive, and Judicial. At the city level, the voters should elect an uneven number of heads of departments ( e.g., Mayor, police, fire, commerce, & health) who would meet regularly to vote on issues facing the city, as a city council. The Judiciary at all 3 levels is separate.

The National Level

The Legislature

The Leglislature at the National level should consist of 1 body, to be called The Senate; 1 Senator shall be elected by all the legal adult citizens of each State to represent the interests of all the people of that State ( 50 States = 50 Senators ). Bills in the senate shall pass only with half the votes of the Senate + 1 ( that would mean 26 votes in favor ); Amendments to the Constitution shall require a 2/3 majority of the Senate and the signature of the President of the United States of America. There shall be no such person as " President of the Senate ".

Senators are elected for 4 year terms, with a maximum of 12 years.

The Executive

The Executive Branch is headed by the President of the United States of America, who enforces the laws and administers the programs of the national government. The President shall be elected thusly: the 2 Political Parties ( Democrat and Republican ) shall each nominate a candidate for President of the United States and a candidate for Vice-President ( known as " the Ticket " ); then whichever Party gets a majority in the Senate, the other Party's candidate becomes President. This will ensure that the National Government is both democratic and republican at all times.

The President therefore also serves a 4 year term, but with a maximum of 8 years.

The Judiciary

The Court system should stand separate from the Leglislative and Executive branches ( called " the Independent Judiciary " ) all the way from the lowest level of government ( City ) to the highest ( National ). All judges will be appointed, none elected; Judges should not have to pander to any constituency. The Rational temperament ( see my article " The 3 Types of People " in January 2005 archive at www.jeffreybrauer.blogspot.com ) is strongly preferred for all judges.

Cases can be appealed on the facts, not only on points of Law, all the way to the Supreme Court.

Judges should be promoted from lower levels of the judiciary, with an age limit of 70 years.

The Justice System

The Rule of Law is, by itself, insane; the question, " Was justice done? ", must always be asked, and answered. A perfect system, that automatically produces a Good result, does not, and cannot, exist; Good people are always necessary. Laws are a safeguard against injustice, but become themselves a source of injustice if not tempered by human wisdom.

Some would like a Law they could apply to all situations, to free them from having to think; the only question then becomes, " Was the Law violated? ". Such a system has been proven to violate actual humans, and cannot legitimately be called " Justice ".

The State Governments

The State Governments will operate much as now, with 3 exceptions:

1.) The Governor, though gaining office in the usual manner, will be removable from office between elections by the President of the United States, not for political reasons, but to ensure enforcement of the Laws, and Justice.

2.) The State Leglislature shall, in every State, consist of only 1 body ( Unicameral ).

3.) The Judiciary stands separate, as described above.

The National Defense

The problems with the Military ( the Military-Industrial Complex ) almost always, and in the case of wars with other Nations, always, stem from the vaunted " Civilian Oversight " of the Military. The elected officials, and/or officials appointed by them, use the Military for nefarious purposes, to advance political and/or economic agendas. This is a criminal mis-use of the Military.

The people of the Military are highly honorable, their strength at the group level deriving from their commitment to each other, and to Duty, at the individual level. Therefore, I hereby propose what all will think radical, and some will think terrible:

Let the Military stand alone. No civilian oversight. The vast majority of the men and women in the Military are good people, wanting to do Good, desirous of protecting the people of this nation, and their freedoms, and willing to risk life and limb to protect not only our people, but all people, if so called upon. Let them do it. Let the Military run itself, according to Duty and Honor.

So long as there is civilian oversight of the Military, there will be no such thing as a non-Criminal President.

Funding

How will the Government be funded? Well, I'm glad you asked:

We Must Eliminate Money

It's Inefficient
As the Open Source (software) Movement has shown us, money causes unnecessary duplication of effort. Sure, you say, I can see that with software, because of how easy it is to copy information - but you can't do that with cars or houses.

Well, let's look at the scientific community in the modern era, which has given us all the neat stuff - from cars to computers, from refrigerators to airplanes - that we enjoy today. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Source_Culture

"The principle of sharing predates the open source movement; for example, the free sharing of information has been institutionalized in the scientific enterprise since at least the 19th century. Open source principles have always been part of the scientific community. The sociologist Robert K. Merton described the four basic elements of the community - universalism (an international perspective), communism (sharing information), disinterestedness (removing one's personal views from the scientific inquiry) and organized skepticism (requirements of proof and review) that accurately describe the scientific community today. These principles are, in part, complemented by US law's focus on protecting expression and method but not the ideas themselves. There is also a tradition of publishing research results to the scientific community instead of keeping all such knowledge proprietary. "

Did you notice the second to last line ? " These principles are ... complemented by US law's focus on protecting expression and method but not the ideas themselves." So, business/government allows this " communism " at the creation stage, because they know it's more efficient and effective, but then makes the results of that communistic creation ( the tech we have today ) " proprietary ", so they can charge us kazillions ( see " It's A Scam ", below ).

Without this unnecessary duplication of effort to make money, how much productive capacity could be freed to create a high standard of living for all? And what about the billions of people worldwide who never had the chance to find out what greatness they could create, that might benefit us all, simply because they had to make money to survive?

But wait, there's more. As Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation has labored to point out for many years, the "open source" movement itself was created to make the free software movement more palatable to Business; of course something valuable ( essential? ) was lost in the translation ( see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html ).

Money is inefficient, impractical, and immoral.
It's A Scam
1.) The Federal Reserve orders some money printed.
2.) The U.S. Treasury prints the money.
3.) The Federal Reserve buys the money ( it doesn't cost much to print the money ).
4.) The Federal Reserve then lends the money to business and government at interest.
5.) The Shareholders of the Federal Reserve then buy real goods ( gold, minerals, land, productive businesses ) with the fake money ( the interest paid ).

So, the whole U.S. economy is built on a scam.

For a glimpse of how deep the rabbit hole goes, see " The Myth of the Rule of Law " at http://www.solari.com/gideon/q301.pdf .

Oh, I can hear you now: " that's because of paper money ", or " we need to go back to the gold standard ", or " blah blah blah ". Really? Were these problems non-existent then? They existed, and have only gotten worse. The best you can hope for with those solutions is to make massive problems slightly less bad. And in Reality, so long as there is money, it will always only be a matter of time 'til we reach the present state again.

Not good enough.

It's Evil
Money was created so that some ( very few ) would have a lot of it, and the rest ( the vast majority ) would have little to none; that is Evil. Money literally causes poverty. At the level of the individual, obviously having money is the opposite of poverty; at the level of the human race, though, the fact that money exists consigns the majority to poverty - that is why it is done.

From David Chandler's http://www.lcurve.org/ :

" Quoting from After Capitalism by political philosopher David Schweickart,

If we divided the income of the US into thirds, we find that the top ten percent of the population gets a third, the next thirty percent gets another third, and the bottom sixty percent get the last third. If we divide the wealth of the US into thirds, we find that the top one percent own a third, the next nine percent own another third, and the bottom ninety percent claim the rest. (Actually, these percentages, true a decade ago, are now out of date. The top one percent are now estimated to own between forty and fifty percent of the nation's wealth, more than the combined wealth of the bottom 95%.) " [ emphases added ]

( George W. Bush, John F. Kerry, and Osama B. Laden are all members of the richest 1%, BTW - but I digress ... )

As Thom Hartmann put it, " For example, every year, millions of Americans revisit Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" about Ebenezer Scrooge and Bob (and Tiny Tim) Cratchit. Yet somehow Americans fail to realize the subtext of the story (and so many of Dickens' other works). That subtext is that the middle class is not a normal thing: exploited workers are the norm. In fact, in the six-thousand-year history of the "civilized" world, a middle class emerging in any nation has been such a rarity as to be historically invisible. " [emphasis added]  http://www.thomhartmann.com/articles/2004/06/scrooge-marley-inc-true-conservative-agenda

We are taught, almost from birth, that civilization began @ 5,000 years ago; we are also taught that money began @ 5,000 years ago. They want us to believe that we have to accept money if we want the benefits of civilization.

What if it's a lie?

It's Unnecessary
What if there was a technology that was pollution-free and so efficient, it obviated the " need " for money?

Richard Hoagland, in trying to figure out why some planets " radiate more energy out into space than they receive directly from the Sun ", created what he calls " The Hyperdimensional Model" ( http://www.enterprisemission.com/hyper1.html ). In it, he explains how 4D energy is " pulled down " into 3D by spinning bodies ( whirling dervishes, Neo spinning and hovering while fighting the Agents Smith in Matrix Reloaded ) - it's like " free " energy ( there's that word again ... ).

For those not versed in physics, an excellent intro to 4D is at http://tetraspace.alkaline.org/introduction.htm.

Some " conspiracy theorists " would say that the Secret Government already has this tech. However, because of The Culture Of Obedience, most of the " leaders " in business and government are quite stupid; so, it's entirely possible that they can't figure it out. Their modus operandi is to get us to figure it out for them, then declare that it's their property and charge us to use it just a little bit.

I have an even better idea ...

We must eliminate money now; not " eventually " - this year, 2005.
