Just when you thought things couldn’t get more polarized, they have. The line between light and dark, between low and high consciousness, is growing sharper. This line of demarcation is seemingly based on which “side” you are on (left-right, liberal/progressive-conservative, Democrat-Republican). But the true origin of the conflict is how you feel about your fellow man.

Progressives think, “Our ideas for an end to war, healthcare for all, and climate change are clearly superior. Those who can’t see this are troglodytes. Their consciousness is too low to understand. Therefore, such people must be taken out of the public debate before they infect the thinking of others.” Conservatives think, “The radical ideas of progressives never work, and always result in failed economies. Our ideas for equality under the rule of law, the importance of religion, and conservative ideas of integrity and honesty are clearly superior. Those who can’t see this are useful idiots. These people should be removed from the public debate before they infect society with their failed ideas.”

Both sides object to the perceived failure of the other side’s stale and unworkable ideas. Progressives see Trump’s increased funding of the military as the continuance of endless war, and the potential rise of fascism in the country; and Trump’s refusal to provide Medicare for all as a continuance of the status quo where some get benefits and the rest get screwed. Conservatives see the rioting in the streets, and the “politically correct” squashing of the diversity of ideas, as the precursor to communism and a CCP-style totalitarian dictatorship.

Both sides have ample historical precedent to back up their view of the present situation and where it is heading. Both sides are intolerant, and think of the human beings on the other side as hopelessly flawed.

The current sharp divide cannot be solved by policy papers, by the other side “waking up” to the “truth,” by a revolution in the streets, or by electing or defeating Donald Trump.

TRUMP is a symbol of the breakdown of the old consciousness of conflict and “me first.” He is the human avatar around which the old meme structure is breaking down in preparation for a new consciousness. We are working through the old memes that are the backbone of the old paradigm. These have been on full display for the past four years as the light penetrates the darkness and the darkness responds in the only way it knows: with hatred, intolerance, and contempt. TRUMP is the catalyst, the change agent, around which this is happening. TRUMP is having, literally, an influence on every person on the planet. This is a sign of a historic turning of events.

A New Consciousness is Required

Paradoxically, although society is fragmented into two camps, there is great unity within each camp. Society is being organized around the idea of unity even though the two camps are violently opposed to each other. The situation is ripe for a seminal event that will expose the darkness within each camp. When this happens it will break apart the old meme structure. The two united but opposing factions will eventually find common ground. In this way the sharp contrast and the fighting will, like a balloon that has a leak, slowly collapse and sanity will return, but at a higher level. This is how chaotic systems evolve: there is more and more chaos until the system finally settles down at a new level.

Fighting Negatives

Albert Einstein said, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

Human societal problems are caused by a consciousness of fighting what isn’t wanted, instead of promoting that which is wanted. Many people recognize this, but nothing ever seems to change. I wrote a blog post about the difference between “ending racism” and “promoting harmony.” By embracing the latter, we subsume and dissolve the “problem” of racism. We recognize that with harmony and tolerance, racism simply can’t and doesn’t exist. By trying to “end racism” we focus on racism and make racial tensions worse.

What is needed is higher consciousness.

This sounds good, but there is a huge problem:  You can’t “re-educate” people to higher consciousness. You can’t force people to stop fighting negatives and embrace positives. “Re-education” is a low-consciousness solution that perpetuates low consciousness. It’s mired in the old paradigm. But that’s precisely what each camp is trying to do: “re-educate” the other side, marshalling arguments and factoids against the others. This is pointless, for it continues the old consciousness of conflict.

Throughout history, fascists, communists, and dictators have used concentration camps, gulags, and coercion to change thinking. After 5,000 years of this, why don’t we just admit it doesn’t work?  (“The more things change, the more they remain the same” is a pithy statement that has reflected the unchanging nature of human consciousness.)

A permanent solution to the ills of human societies and the establishment of peace on earth must involve a change in consciousness.

How is this supposed to happen? Consciousness is ephemeral and can’t even be described. Materialists (low consciousness) say it’s a bunch of neurons firing in the brain. But not even advanced spiritual thinkers can define consciousness so that it resonates with everyone. I’ve listened to Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra and Sadhguru and others for a long time, but all I know is that a human being probably has a soul, and that a person might have a merkaba, which is supposed to be the soul’s presence in the physical body. That sounds good to me, but it is unreal for the vast majority of the population.

So we’re stuck, right?

Not really.

As the contrast and the duality sharpens, and people get tired of the conflict and contention, people begin to look “out of the box” for a different solution – I’ll call it a “soul-ution” – to ingrained human problems. The fighting and conflict causes a “forcing function” to a higher consciousness.

Forcing Function

A forcing function is usually defined as any task, activity, or event that forces you to take action and produce a result. In society today, the very sharp polarity and division is acting as a sort of forcing function for a change in consciousness. After four years of Trump – anti-Trump hatred, more and more people are seeing the only elements the old paradigm has to offer: fighting, contention, hatred, and intolerance. People are weary of it.

Eventually, enough people will look for solutions that revolve around harmony, cooperation, and tolerance. Doesn’t seem that way now because the dark army is organizing, and showing what is really is. The hate is in our faces! This process will have to continue until enough people can see that fighting negatives simply cannot result in a positive outcome.

During times of great change, a seminal event occurs that sends the system to a different level. The invention of the transistor, the discovery of DNA by Crick and Watson, the invention of the internet (not by Al Gore!); these are all events that sent the world on a different course. Now, humanity is ready for the biggest one of all: the recognition of the power of consciousness to change its own thinking, and to re-define what human nature is.

The result of the forcing function will be a seminal event that changes human consciousness. If I knew what that was I’d tell you, but I know it’s coming. I know it involves an event that will cause people to recognize the human connection to a higher power, and the redefinition of “human nature.”

We’ve Tried all of the Old Solutions

Humanity is ready now (or will soon be ready) for a higher solution.

The old thinking has resulted in no permanent solutions to the intractable problems of human society, even after 5,000 years of human civilization. We’re still fighting and killing and hating each other as we have done for millennia, even though we know that love dissolves hate.

Science can provide no answers, for science investigates the material world and necessarily avoids metaphysics and consciousness. It is fascinating to see how science and metaphysics may have common ground, but these ideas unite at the far boundaries or edges. The Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics, for example, accounts for the decisions of consciousness, but these scientific explanations aren’t real for the vast majority of people. They will never penetrate the collective consciousness enough to affect human day-to-day behavior.

The solutions we have now don’t work. We are asking the wrong questions and working on the problem with the wrong approaches. A metaphysical solution that involves human spirituality is the next evolution in human thought and will take us out of the old paradigm and into the new. Paradoxically, it will take a forcing function like rioting in the streets, and violence and hatred, to shock people out of the current mode of thinking. The dark side has its uses.

Cheer up folks! Human society is not headed for another downward spiral. The  chaos we see today is the light penetrating the darkness, paving the way for a better future.

A New Consciousness

A new consciousness on earth would dissolve the problems of injustice, conflict, and war, just as promoting harmony automatically dissolves the intractable problem of ending racism.

“So how is this to be done?” you ask.

That’s the wrong question.

As soon as you ask “How?” you open the box of old solutions that haven’t worked for millennia.

A new consciousness is simply an agreement by enough human beings that fighting and conflict in no longer supportable in human relations. This results in broad agreement throughout society in the promotion of harmony rather than the ending of injustice. It is simply a focus on creating what is wanted instead of fighting what isn’t wanted. It’s coming, and it’s coming soon.

Of course we’ve known this for millennia, so why should it work now?

Because a new, worldwide messaging network connects every human being on earth. (The worldwide internet may be the most important factor behind the forcing function.) Because people are tired of conflict and war. Because it’s almost impossible to hide anything now. In the past, before a global connection, humans were isolated into separate nations and locales that solved problems by fighting about them. Now, a beheading in Paris or the corruption of a political candidate in one country becomes headline news throughout the world.

The darkness just can’t hide anymore.

We’re already seeing a push toward harmony by the social justice movement, which asks for an environmentally supportable economy, healthcare for all, and an end to war. In true dualistic fashion, these sentiments have been hijacked by authoritarian personalities and organizations that want to establish yet another top-down, hierarchical and global control state, monitored by AI and ubiquitous surveillance, and the institution of social credit systems that treat human beings like apps. The people out on the streets rioting and looting and burning are unconsciously fighting an old definition of human nature that has been in place for 5,000 years (but they are using the toolbox of old consciousness). They see no hope of working through “the system” and are sick to death of it. Their idea is that the system must be completely torn down before a new society can be built. These activities are all part of the forcing function that will result in a higher consciousness.

The energy behind the forcing function is the fervent desire by 8 billion human beings for peace, tolerance, and cooperation. This is the energy of consciousness, which is becoming stronger and stronger and will make itself felt more and more as time goes on.

“Sounds like a miracle,” you say. “Good luck with that.”

Fortunately, luck plays no part in the new path to higher consciousness. My movie, “The Evolution of Consciousness,” shows how human thought and the desire for a better world influence the collective consciousness and the meme structure of humanity. Action follows thought.

It’s coming!

The darkness serves only to unite the vast majority of humanity toward the light.

The New Human Nature

Human beings have been trapped in a box of beliefs of our own making. In this box is something called “human nature.” Human nature is supposed to be the idea that people will always look out for themselves and reject harmonious approaches “because some jerk (or jerks) will always exploit the situation.” This idea is that the wolf will always attack, scatter, and kill the sheep. That the strong will always exploit the weak. Look out for number one.

Intellectually we know that love dissolves hate, but our intellectual understanding has not been sufficient, it is said, to overcome our baser “human nature.”

A new human nature is coming, brought to you by the forcing function of the sharp contrast and the “line of demarcation.” The new human nature will come from the understanding by people across the planet that the old ways of coercion and intimidation and violence and “re-education” don’t work anymore. People will naturally gravitate to a new paradigm based on greater tolerance, simply because all human beings are connected to God, and God (the Creative Source) is the love source.

The forcing function will propel the human race to reach past the old, outdated box of beliefs that has been driving human nature for 5,000 years.

We’re going to be ready for it sooner than anyone thinks, because too many people are ready to believe in something better!

(Updated 10/29/2020)

During World War 2, all strata of British society were infiltrated by the National Socialist German Workers Party (the Nazis). The British foreign minister, Lord Halifax, and the Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, tried to appease Hitler, hoping that peace could be maintained in Europe. But of course, Hitler and the Nazis were not interested in peace. To understand how British society was infiltrated during the last world war, see the fantastic ITV program called “Foyle’s War,” which shows this through the eyes of a British detective in a small town on the southern coast of England.

During the run-up to World War 2, the National Socialist German Workers Party competed with Antifascistische Aktion, the German Communist Party. Antifascistische Action, now ANTIFA, was founded in 1920. (The flag of both groups are almost identical.) Its goal was to overthrow the Weimar Republic in Germany. The Nazis are identified as far-right fascists, but they were actually communists. Historians will disagree, but in fact there is no difference whatsoever between fascists and communists. “Far-left” and “far-right” is a false dichotomy. Both are totalitarian and atheistic and use gulags, concentration camps, secret police,  intimidation, and violence to maintain control of the population.

As I remarked in an earlier post, the Nazis instituted a Defund the Police movement. Hermann Goring replaced trained police officers in German cities with Nazi thugs known as brownshirts, who harassed and intimidated the population during Hitler’s rise to power. Street assaults during this time in Germany were common. In the USSR, communist thugs in Stalin’s People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs, or NKVD, used the same tactics of violence and intimidation to cow the populace. Modernly, the CCP’s Ministry Of State Security – the CCP’s intelligence, security and secret police agency in China – does the same.

The three most influential movements of the Dark Army on earth – in Germany, Russia, and China – have all been totalitarian dictatorships ruled by criminal gangsters who deny basic human rights and spirituality and religion of any kind. Call these thugs whatever you want – fascists or communists – it’s UTTERLY IRRELEVANT and is a sterile academic debate.

The true dichotomy is tyranny vs freedom, atheism and materialism vs spirituality and the recognition of the human connection to God, the rule of law vs anarchy.

Communists cannot survive without gulags and concentration camps, and “straw men” to hate. The National Socialist German Workers Party chose the Jews to scapegoat, and committed genocide on the Jewish people. Solzhenitsyn estimated that the communists killed between 30 and 40 million Russians. In China, the CCP routinely sends Uighurs, Falun Gong, and other political and religious dissidents into “reeducation camps” (concentration camps). Here in the US, under the name of “anti-fascism,” the tools of fascism are applied to “fascists” and “racists” who don’t adhere to the party line. “Fascists,” apparently, are people who disagree with the goals of ANTIFA and their political supporters (type antifa.com into your browser).

On October 9, an emotionally disturbed Keith Olbermann called for the prosecution and removal from society of those he disagrees with. This is eerily (and frighteningly) similar to the language Adolf Hitler used against the Jews, just before he made them wear yellow armbands and placed them in concentration camps.

History repeats itself.

We know that many of the rioters in our cities are groups who don’t live in those cities.

Some people don’t believe that riots have even occurred, because the raw footage isn’t seen on the mainstream news networks. However, you can see raw footage of the riots in Wauwatosa (just one of many cities that have experienced riots) here:

https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/mayhem-in-wauwatosa-antifa-blm-storms-the-suburbs/

These are tame compared to what has happened in Portland, Seattle, and Minneapolis. (Raw footage is taken by people with their phones who go out on the streets and film live.)

If many of the rioters are not residents, who is organizing and paying them to loot and burn?

Most of the riots that racked the United States within the last few months were organized by two socialist organizations which have close ties with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), said Trevor Loudon, author, and filmmaker, who has been researching radical and terrorist groups and their covert influence on mainstream politics for more than 30 years.

The Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) based out of Minneapolis, an openly pro-CCP organization, and Bay Area-based Liberation Road, with very close ties to the Chinese consulate there and the Chinese Progressive Association (CPA), are behind the recent riots, Loudon said in a recent interview on Epoch Times’ Crossroads program.”

https://www.theepochtimes.com/china-ties-to-us-riots-exposed-by-trevor-loudon-2_3531626.html

The Epoch Times is a newspaper run by mainland Chinese expatriates who have contacts on the mainland within the CCP and the Chinese government. Their focus is on exposing the activities of the communist party in China. The greatest victims of communism – as in Germany and in the old USSR – are the people. The CCP is an existential threat to freedom loving people everywhere.

Let’s take a very limited look at how the CCP has infiltrated American society.

1) The Thousand Talents program. 

The Thousand Talents Plan is a Chinese government program to attract scientists and engineers from overseas. Since the plan began in 2008, it has recruited thousands of researchers from countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, Canada, Japan, France and Australia. While many countries try to lure top international research talent, the US, Canada and others have raised concerns that the Thousand Talents Plan may facilitate espionage and theft of intellectual property.

Dozens of Australian and US employees of universities and government are believed to have participated in the plan without having declared their involvement. In May, ASIO issued all Australian universities a warning about Chinese government recruitment activities.

On top of intellectual property issues, there are serious human rights concerns. Technologies transferred to China under the program have been used in the oppression of Uyghurs in Xinjiang and in society-wide facial recognition and other forms of surveillance.

The Chinese government has established more than 600 recruitment stations globally. This includes 146 in the US, 57 each in Germany and Australia, and more than 40 each in the UK, Canada, Japan and France.”

2) The Confucius Institutes, the CCP’s effort to propagandize education.

Since 2004, around 550 Confucius Institutes have opened worldwide, with close to 100 in the United States and 29 in the United Kingdom. In recent years, however, the enthusiasm with which university leaders around the world have embraced the institutes has soured. Increasing numbers of them have been shut. That’s partially thanks to the geopolitical shift against an increasingly autocratic Chinese Communist Party (CCP) under Xi Jinping’s leadership and partially due to the institutes themselves being no more immune to the CCP’s waves of political repression than any other Chinese state institute—even abroad.”

Andreas Fulda, “Chinese Propaganda Has No Place on Campus,” Foreign Policy, Oct 15, 2019

(3) The K-12 institutes, where the CCP, in cooperation with the College Board (which issues the SAT and Advanced Placement tests), gave the Chinese Communist Party unprecedented access to America’s K-12 education programs in exchange for funding.

The not-for-profit College Board gave the Chinese Communist Party unprecedented access to America’s K-12 education programs in exchange for funding, according to a new report from the National Association of Scholars. The report, titled ‘Corrupting the College Board: Confucius Institutes and K-12 Education,’ found that since at least 2003, ‘the College Board has sponsored Confucius Institutes at K-12 schools, served as a recruiter for Chinese government programs, and helped the Chinese Communist Party design and gain control over American teacher training programs.’”

Ashe Schow, “Century Old College Board Gave Chinese Government Access To U.S. Education In Exchange For Funding, Report Finds,” Daily Wire, Sep 12, 2020, at https://www.dailywire.com/news/century-old-college-board-gave-chinese-government-access-to-u-s-education-in-exchange-for-funding-report-finds

It goes on.

The gravest security threat the free world faces is ongoing efforts by the Chinese regime and other non-state actors to influence elites and take over control of democratic institutions for their own purposes, says Canadian MP Garnett Genuis. ‘It is a real and pressing and urgent threat to our way of life when our municipalities, our universities, private companies, community organizations, and political parties can be co-opted and pushed and pulled to serve the interests of a foreign power—interests and values that are hostile to our own,’ Genuis told Jan Jekielek on Epoch Times’ American Thought Leaders.

As the Conservative Party’s shadow minister for international development and human rights and a member of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, Genuis says there’s a need for more awareness about the Chinese regime’s covert influence operations ‘in every country, at every level.  There’s a need for a broader recognition of the risk… a recognition of the fact that elites at every level are subject to efforts at this kind of co-opting, whether it’s school boards, small town mayors, university presidents, individual members of parliament—there’s a lot of attempt at this kind of influence,’ he said.”

Justina Wheale and Jan Jekeilek, “Chinese Regime Presents ‘Urgent Threat’ to Institutions and Freedoms in the West: Canadian MP Garnett Genuis,” Epoch Times, October 10, 2020

“Crap,” you say. “More right-wing racist propaganda against the Chinese.”

Well, the Democrats are well aware of CCP influence in the US. But the West has no access to China. Western journalists have been kicked out of the country by the CCP, which does not tolerate openness and transparency. Amazingly, the CCP has STILL not allowed the WHO to examine the P4 biolab in Wuhan, to determine how best to deal with the coronavirus!

Despite rampant political hatred, there is now bi-partisan support to protect our institutions from CCP influence. In May, for example, Congress overwhelmingly passed a bill condemning China for human rights abuses against their Uighur minority. See the New York Times, https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/27/us/politics/house-uighurs-china-sanctions.html

Eighty years ago, the Nazis sent operatives to every sector of British society, including the military, government, education, and industry. The Foyle’s War program series illustrates this in an educational but gripping way. Today, the US is in the same position as England back then, with a similar, but much more powerful opponent. The CCP has operatives in every sector of U.S. society, just as the Nazis did.

History repeats itself over and over again.

The battle of dark and light continues on planet earth. But the stakes are much higher now, for humanity is connected in a global economy where much of the world’s manufacturing is centered in China, and run by the CCP. The globalist/corporatist business model, built up over the past 30 years, keeps wages very low in China in order to boost corporate profits. Trans-national groups like NAFTA and the TPP were negotiated on this business model, which exports low wages all over the world. Under the globalist business model, thousands of high-wage American factory jobs were sent overseas (for profit), turning the once robust American manufacturing economy into a service economy. The vast majority of Americans now live paycheck to paycheck, courtesy of American politicians who are in bed with the CCP. Research this for yourself. The middle class in this country is disappearing.

The CCP is the 21st century equivalent of the Nazis in the 20th.

A science fiction writer once said, “The first step in handling anything is gaining the ability to face it.”  The question is, will America wake up in time to save itself from an existential threat posed by the CCP? The answer is up to us.

For those who want to delve deeply into the globalist/corporatist/elites and how they use their public offices for private gain, read this meticulously researched and sourced report from Christopher Balding, Fulbright University, Vietnam. Prof. Balding says about this report:

First, I did not write the report and I am not responsible for the report. I have gone over the report with a fine tooth comb and can find nothing factually wrong with the report. Everything is cited and documented. Arguably the only weakness is that we do not have internal emails between Chinese players or the Chinese and Bidens that would make explicit what the links clearly imply.

Second, I will not be disclosing the individual who did write this report. They have very valid reasons to fear for both their personal safety and professional risks. Throughout the years that I have known this individual we never discussed politics. I have never heard them criticize any political party other than the CCP. They are not a Republican.

Third, it was my very real wish that the press would have reported on the documented evidence in this report and left me and the author entirely out of this situation. I did not vote for Trump in 2016 and will not vote for him in 2020. This information however is entirely valid public interest information that the press has simply refused to cover due to their own partisan wishes. I have serious policy differences with President Trump. I am pro-immigration. I would like to see more free trade efforts to shift trade away from China and into partner countries from Mexico to Vietnam and India. I believe that institution building in Asia is vital and America needs to take that lead. However, I cannot in good conscience allow documented evidence of the variety presented here go unreported by partisans who are simply choosing to hide information.

Update 10/28

Newsweek has come out with an in-depth study of how the Chinese Communist Party influences all sectors of U.S. society, as it has done with many countries via its Belt and Road initiative. I want to emphasize that the Chinese people are the biggest victims of the Communist Party in China. When writers or politicians say "China" they are talking about the CCP, a group of gangsters that have held China hostage since 1949.

Here is a small excerpt from the Newsweek article:

Experts say the election-related activity is just a small part of a much larger and deeper campaign of influence and interference by China that's been taking place over many years—and is a far more worrisome threat long-term. Interviews with some two dozen analysts, government officials and other U.S.-China specialists, as part of a four-month investigation by Newsweek, suggest there are myriad other ways in which the Communist Party of China (CPC) and other government-linked entities have been working, through multiple channels in the U.S. at the federal, state and local level, to foster conditions and connections that will further Beijing's political and economic interests and ambitions.

Those channels include businesses, universities and think tanks, social and cultural groups, Chinese diaspora organizations, Chinese-language media and WeChat, the Chinese social media and messaging app, says John Garnaut, an Australian political analyst and expert on global CPC interference. Separately, Newsweek has identified about 600 such groups in the U.S., all in regular touch with and guided by China's Communist Party—a larger-scale version of a pattern found in other countries around the world.

Update 10/29/2020

The State Department has designated the  National Association for China’s Peaceful Unification (NACPU) as a foreign mission, part of the CCP's United Front Work Organization. Text follows:

The United Front Work Department (UFWD) is the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organ tasked with co-opting and neutralizing threats to the party’s rule and spreading its influence and propaganda overseas.  The CCP regards this party apparatus as a “magic weapon” to advance Beijing’s policies.

Today, the Department of State designated a UFWD-controlled organization – the National Association for China’s Peaceful Unification (NACPU) – as a foreign mission of the PRC under the U.S. Foreign Missions Act.  The goal of this action is to shine a light on this organization and make clear that their messages come from Beijing, as we did when we designated the Confucius Institute U.S. Center (CIUS) as a foreign mission in August.

In addition to the NACPU, the UFWD has other affiliates seeking to spread Beijing’s malign influence in the United States.  We are discontinuing participation in the Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the People’s Republic of China Concerning the Establishment of the U.S-China Governors Forum to Promote Sub-National Cooperation (MOU), signed on January 19, 2011.  The MOU supported the creation of a U.S.-China National Governors Forum.  Following the signing of the MOU, however, Chinese Peoples’ Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC) a Beijing-based organization tasked with co-opting subnational governments, has sought to directly and malignly influence state and local leaders to promote the PRC’s global agenda.  CPAFFC’s actions have undermined the Governors Forum’s original well-intentioned purpose.

Authentic people-to-people exchanges are crucial for establishing understanding between cultures, but the UFWD is not a vehicle for people-to-people exchange.  Instead, it uses front organizations like the NACPU to advance the PRC’s propaganda and malign influence.  Our actions today move us a step closer toward a relationship with the PRC based on transparency and reciprocity.
