Recovering the lost intention and goal of humanity


Recovering the lost intention and goal of humanity

Survival of the “fittest” can maintain survival in mediocrity but it can never achieve long-term vitality

By the executor with power of attorney for the living man, known as Mike, aka Alex Michael Cechanowicz

The idea that humanity as a whole, or in part can enjoy extraordinary long-term vitality has been with me all of my life. The vision has led me to an in-depth, systemic study of the present social architectures and human psychology to understand why and how this has become understood as a utopia.

Systemic thinking processes always involve looking at the chains of cause and effect realizing that every cause is the effect of something else. We can move forward or backward on these chains when they are mapped. When correctly completed, “everything falls into place” and radical solutions can be discovered. These chains of cause and effect can be followed to their root causes. When they form positive or negative feedback loops, we can identify the weakest link in the chain and intervene there. We seek to replace any root cause with a solution that will create a release from the majority of symptoms these causes create.

This approach does demand a comprehensive knowledge of many different social structures and human psychic norms and potentials. Maybe that is why the issues are rarely talked about, much less approached with any hope of success. It is a daunting task.

My first approach to the problem was a systemic approach to the question, “Does society support the ability of humanity to thrive”. I asked this question because I realize it is a basic assumption many take with them in their lives – that the purpose of all things is to help, make life better, easier, solve problems etc. Social infrastructures include economic, governmental, legal, educational, medical, religious, military, commercial and personal social structures. I was looking for patterns and included those prerequisites for personal or social thriving and challenged their existence.

The result of this study was the PDF-Book “Hidden Agenda” and my conclusions were basically that every necessary prerequisite for human thriving is missing from the current social architecture – globally. The pattern was obviously such that very few human individuals would ever reach the stage in their development known as Self-actualization. I refer to A. Maslow’s model of human developmental potential.

This led me to considering the prerequisites for true Self-actualization with much more attention. Human Self Actualization is an expression of Vitality close to or at any present potential. This is always expanding because we are always moving in new directions to discover new boundaries as old ones are transcended.

Many thousands of client experiences in psychotherapy, coaching and consulting have led me to see patterns of human behavior that create or hinder progress to those higher potentials of human expression. My study of these prerequisites is a natural way to become solution orientated in any change process. I have discovered that the same processes that stop us from developing as individuals - stop us from developing socially, politically, economically etc.

To my knowledge, the first scientific research applied to answer the question, “How much competition is the optimal amount for a system to perform at its best” – was from the 1970’s. Since that time, the question has been asked and answered in thousands of different ways. The answer to that question is always the same: Zero, 0, Nada, Null – No competition is desired or helpful to self-actualize any potential.

You might want to look at Gregg Braden’s book – Deep Truth to discover some of the research that has been carried out concerning competition.

You would expect that to be a political and economic bombshell – but the fact of the matter is that that knowledge is buried by the forces in our social structures that profit by proclaiming that competition is a natural, necessary, unavoidable and good way to promote progress. We are told that competition helps us do our best. The fact of the matter is that competition forces us to expend energy against the competition and sacrifice that energy we would otherwise spend on our intentions and goals.

This idea that competition is a “good” and necessary element in our lives and our social structures is a thought-virus, a paradigm that has created enormous amounts of serious personal and social problems that cannot be resolved without resolving the cause of them all and that is our relationship with the idea of competition. People associate fun, excitement, drama, rewards and status with competition. As such it is actually worshiped by many. Humanity must be brought to the realization that competition can only provide short-term pleasure and long-term pain.

The following is a “short-list” of effects from the “spirit of competition” – which I call the idea that competition is something we have no choice about in our lives, or that it is desirable.
            Resistance, friction, rules, regulations, laws, lawyers, enforcement, judges, authorities, confusion, secrecy, fragmentation, compartmentalization, fear, anxiety, dis-ease, trash, predictable break-downs, fraud, misinformation, defense systems, security systems, criminal systems, spies, violence, oppression, war, waste, pollution, self-destruction and death.

Imagine all of these social and personal ills that are vanquished in the blink of an eye simply by changing one single thing. There is more to this than one simple change. It creates a cascade of different changes that affect EVERYTHING!

It changes our focus from having a common enemy to align us, toward having a common goal. That goal can be stated as, “Long-term vitality for self, others and the environment”.

When we study nature from the single cell perspective – up to the macro-environment with a filter for vitality, even using the human body as an example, we find intelligent organization of diversity, autonomy, truthful and relevant information transference, distribution of adequate energy, respect for free will and synergetic relationships all for the purpose of attaining, maintaining, expanding or defending the ability to achieve vitality.

We discover a natural law of nature that applies equally to you and I as it does to a blossoming rose. We seek to eliminate all competition from our inner life and our outer life – in relationship with others and the environment as a whole.

Some of the arguments for competition

Arguments can be made for the fact that we observe competition in nature and it is therefore, “natural”. This is true. It is also a choice. Lets look at how competition appears in nature and what is really going on. In nature we have predatory plants and animals, insects and organisms. These natural predatory elements are taking the weak and defenseless living organisms and taking them out of circulation – actually improving their species survival chances. When nature has too little diversity, competition becomes a lot different. It can become self-destructive. We must realize that nature prefers diversity as a part of its self-sustainability. Humanity, believing in uniformity, standardization, norms, and “normal” does its best to create monocultures for itself and for nature – taking everything out of balance, increasing destructive competition.

The plant and animal kingdom also has a behavioral evolution – as do humans. This evolution is thought of as collective learning. As such there is a higher purpose to solving challenges also in this kingdom – as can be observed as any species develops the skills necessary to overcome any predatory threat – through inter and inner species cooperation.

Predatory humans are not the same as predatory animals. They do not kill simply to survive and have enough to eat. They also target those individuals in society that are socially, mentally, emotionally more advanced than the norm. They take out the best of humanity and cause a form of backward evolution.

Extended perspectives into human behavioral evolution shows that human evolution involves mastery of many different skills and attitudes over time. As such each individual has a unique progression for self along with the general population as a whole. The existence of social predators or parasites does serve its own purpose and that is the freedom of choice – albeit under fully misled information. As such humanity learns to progress through trial and error in a various states or levels of confusion – some more than others.

Human social parasites serve a collective purpose and that is for humanity as a whole to learn how to deal with the problem. There is a race of Japanese Honey Bee that has learned to protect itself and the hive from predatory wasps. When a scout wasp comes to inspect the hive, before it can return with information and start an invasion – the bees swarm the wasp and vibrate in such a way that the wasp dies of the heat exchange. In nature, this is called “swarming”. It is a local self-defense system against predators. The wasps, in order to survive, will have to find a way to harvest their own food if they do not find another source they can “feed off of”.

Competition is not a trait that has been genetically determined. It has been proven that our genetic blueprints are for structures now and in the future. They do not regulate or determine behavior. The environment is the greatest formative determinant to behavior. Biologist Bruce Lipton does an excellent job at showing how important the environment is for cells and humans and how symbiotic relationships are the rule and not the exception in nature.

What about authorities?

The source for Earthly authority is said to be given to those that represent the creator. In this case the Catholic Pope – and the Vatican have in our time had the monopoly in the West on who was appointed King, Queen and even Elections where possible. The Authorities in our western culture are all legal fictions created by man. They are inventions created out of the idea that external leadership is necessary for the good of the whole. This is enforced by the rule of force.

The same authorities have created the system of economy we have that is based on the presumption that money is always a limited resource, issued as debt, and usually with interest over time and under fiat principles that devaluate the value of money over time.

The Legal authorities on in our western civilization have spun a spell of human free-range slavery to an economic system that is created only in part for development. What it does is support the development of the elite at the expense of the whole. It creates so many problems that humanity is in “lock-down” between survival and mediocrity.

Those that have studied and/or developed their awareness to a sufficient degree that they have become “higher-self-aware” have a level of guidance and leadership that can never be replaced by any external authority. This human ability – to live from the inside out from ones inner authority is held back by the social and political “sciences” which are really no more than materialistic dogmas. And we are living through a period of their inquisition powers until this authority collapses onto itself – just like the church did during the reformation.

Humanity has a period of evolution based on emotional faith alone. There has also been a period of evolution where there is evolution based on rationality alone. Both have thrown out the baby with the bath-water. The human psyche is rational and emotional, just as the human brain is specialized between fragmentation (rational) and defragmentation (sensory/emotional) processes. These together bring the wonders of simultaneous and sequential logic in such a way as to promote the extraordinary – especially when awareness is focused over time.

Max Planch discovered the power of focus over time and the fact that human awareness can penetrate deeper into matter than even high-energy gamma rays. Its not a secret – but it is not taught either. If it was – everybody would be using their minds at a much higher level of performance than they do today. We are taught that it is our brains and our genes that make us what we are. This too is only propaganda.

Thoughts, emotions dreams and intuitions are the essence of your internal life. These are all sensory based and non-physical. You cannot nail a thought to the wall. As such they qualify for being called “spiritual” without getting mystical.

Research in the field of the Near-Death-Experience gives a well-founded epistemological reason to say that human awareness survives the death of the body. Research with hypnosis and spontaneous memories of past lives confirm and greatly expand on our knowledge of the structure of our “spiritual” life after we leave our bodies. All the evidence is there for you to examine and ask yourself the question, “Why am I living such a limited life in such a limited sense of self-awareness?”

Why this is important now?

At present, all of humanity and its infrastructures and the environment are suffering to the point of close self-extinction and environmental collapse. The single and most obvious cause for this is humanity’s collective belief in the idea that competition is unavoidable, natural, necessary and good.

Today, we have the technology to create a wonderful future on this planet, in abundance, harmony and vitality. This technology is today used for the opposite kind of purpose and that is to dominate, control, monitor and regulate every single human on the planet. The development of humanity is at the cross-roads today. It cannot be more of the same, or both; only either / or. Humanity must make that choice today or be led by the nose to self-destruction.

Where to start?

Most people will perhaps expect me to advise radical changes in society as a first priority for activation. I do not suggest such an approach. I suggest that you start by examining the degree of competition you will discover within your psyche, your inner self and between your self and your body. Deal with the internal competition before you deal with the external. Do this from the inside – out.

I suggest you also deal from the top down when it comes to discovering what is important. You will want to harmonize your self in such a way that all of your resources support your informed conscious choices. This means that you need to learn how your unconscious mind really works as your autopilot. You will discover that instead of being the “boss of the show” you will prefer to take a side seat and be the co-pilot because the unconscious mind has so much more to offer than you do. Your unconscious mind is the only one with real access to higher self so it pays to be friends with your “inner – child” as some call it. Realize that your “inner-child” can also grow up to be the higher-self. It is simply a matter of wanting it to be at an emotional level.

You will want to be aware of the structure and quality of your internal maps of reality. They are most likely not truly up to date because you did not know they existed. This means you will want to examine your reason for living, your identity, your values, your strategies, your behavior and its exchange with the environment. It sounds like a lot of work and it is – but by taking the time to up-grade your maps, get your compass right, turn on your radar and get contact with “mission-control” before take off, you will be flying much more exciting missions and doing so with much more self-confidence.

When you are harmonized within yourself, have released most of your fear, anxiety, anger and confusion, and you see the bigger picture – then you are ready to start harmonizing your external world be that your house, garden, infrastructures, family, community or nation. By this time, you will know what to do.

Why this is happening now?

You are being provided with a choice, the gist of which is to become more self-aware in service to self and humanity in vitality, or to continue to live in limited self awareness and confusion, or to live in higher self awareness serving self at the expense of others. Each of those three choices will determine your long term future as a spiritual awareness having a human experience. You see… there is a cyclical evolutionary stage that humanity is experiencing. In this case, you are exposed to a multiple cyclic evolutionary stage just like lots of different waves are joining to make a big tsunami of change in energy.

This period of time you are living in has experienced increasing levels of “polarization” – which means the good is really good and the bad is a lot worse than it was before. This makes it a lot easier for people to make up their minds as to which level of evolution they are going to go. No choice is a permanent choice in this universe. There are however choices that do have extremely long-term consequences. This is one of those times and one of those choices.

Stars, planets, humans, plants, animals, insects, reptiles and microbes evolve through time. There is a physiological evolution to better match the environment and there is an evolution of awareness – for all living beings. As such, we are exposed to two choices, to evolve through pain, or to do so the easy way, through pleasure. The universe demands development, expansion of awareness to higher levels of be-ing.

At this time, there are many different “way-showers” or “path-finders” for you to listen to, read about, look at, to follow their example, to walk the path normally seldom traveled. This path – the pleasurable path – is not as you might expect. It is the path of “Love” that is activated toward self and others in balance. It is defined by the will and the act of stretching self out to self and or others to promote long-term development. It means discovering the pleasure of boundless curiosity and “life-long” learning processes that lead to mastery of a growing number of skills and abilities. It means developing, body, emotions, mind and spirit to higher levels of performance – which is vitality at its best.

Many people have experienced that their willingness to learn new things has turned into a subject of fear because we have been taught to be ashamed of our “mistakes”. In reality, mistakes are the necessary prerequisites for you to master anything at all. As such you should always prize your mistakes as your most valuable learning experiences. With that you can dare to extend your curiosity and give legitimacy to your dreams. Its all within you. All you have to do is find it, keep it, and use it.

What will this paradigm look like on a social level?

Our systems of economy, governance, education, health, welfare, religion, science, trading and international relations, are ALL seriously infected with the spirit of competition. Their structures, fundaments and content are all created within the context of competition as a way of life. As such many of these systems are collapsing due to the effects of competition within and without.

While this may seem like the “end of the world” it is only the end of the world of competition being replaced by the spirit of vitality. Those that would oppose these energies will, in the future, not be able to maintain their lives on the planet. The magnetic polarization will only support life that is “positively polarized” – of any kind.

The planet itself is also expected to undergo a make-over. This will be survivable in cooperation with your inner self telling you where to go and what to do. Listen to your intuitions and ask them to inform you of important needs for change of anything.

This transition, being a paradigm shift, will have a phase where it goes “viral” in such a way that it becomes widely enough accepted that it is openly talked about, dealt with, explored and used. We have not yet reached that point in time. As the energy between the forces of polarization become more intense, the drama will most likely encourage more and more to seek and find the only solution to the problem. There is truly only one solution and that is to eliminate as much competition out of your life as soon as you can.

The present economic collapse enables us to look for different ways to use money as long as we might need it for motivational purposes. It may take several generations for all to learn that money is not necessary in a world seeking abundance of long-term vitality. People are motivated to make their lives and the lives of others better, when that motivation is extended to personal curiosity about something or the desire to master something – you have found yourself a “job” where you can contribute your energy to develop the capacity to enjoy and experience vitality. Enjoy your uniqueness and find a way to contribute to humanity and self without having to suck on the energy of others.

I expect a period where re-education will be very important for many people. I suggest that mass media be re-organized to enable this media used, where it is useful to reach as many as possible. Further facilities can be created to facilitate the learning process as the needed. The end result is self-led and self-directed learning.

The structure of corporations today will have to experience a serious transition with full responsibility for their products and their effects on the ability to support vitality. This is not the case today. Profit for money is legally valued more than value for humans. Corporations have limited responsibility and are treated as though they have human rights bound to them. They have the right to serve the spirit of collective vitality or disappear.

Many places of work are not contributing vitality to anything but the spirit of competition. As these become replaced with more useful ways to contribute, many will be preoccupied with cleaning up the messes they have left behind, re-harmonizing the planet’s environment and their own personal lives and health. Many relationships have developed into business relationships. When humans grow from each other, they need to take responsibility for their future happiness. You are allowed to follow those higher emotions that tell you that you can enjoy life more in any way as long as it does not create suffering for others.

There is no script for the transition I am trying to support. There is no knowing exactly how everything will fall into place. It will be something we never have witnessed before and it will happen. It’s a lot closer than you might think.
