RE: The IPCC Exposed
damantanor -
You've made the description of the "Problem-Reaction-Solution" process perfectly clear. However I am unsure what you consider is adequate catalyst to motivate the herd to reject the pyramid above it supplying the entitlement cash flow? I can see no motivator less than complete collapse of the state and all corresponding activities primarily funded through theft by taxation.
Only the most severe pain and suffering can induce any mass movement from their comfort zone of suffering. The eldest generations were conquered long ago by simply writing them a check and they grew up in a world without a welfare state. So much said for self esteem as they traded everything for socialism security checks and the opportunity to worship the state.
I don't see how your paradigm of "Unity Of Souls" has any collective utility unless it refers to the afterlife as the eldest sector intends nothing but to run out the clock defending "their" socialism security checks stolen from the paychecks of the presently working poor. Thus there can be no unity of souls honestly postured between eldest and youngest generations because the former is busy eating the latter.
In reality I'd say 99.99% of the human race is pure scum by choice. They don't have to remain scum but they aren't likely to grow a conscience as long as they are paid by the state to stay willfully indoctrinated into a perpetual environment characterized by the frustration aggression principle.
What am I missing from your Unity Of Souls paradigm that can reconcile these elements I present to you?

Don't know if I'm going to be able to explain myself succinctly but I'll try.
There are 2 things here I think we "need".
First - Anarchism relating to man-made law. As long as we live in a system of rule that is based upon hierarchy to man (meaning, that there is some man/woman who rules over me, or I rule over them) then we have no chance for freedom and peace. Anarchy between mankind is an absolute must.
Second - After anarchy towards man has been estabilished, mankind can unite in the same desire which is to bring contentment to our Maker (call it Creator, God, Nature, Consciousness, it's all the same).
This is my path. Now, to be clear, Anarchy towards man-made law is inevitable. However, there's a 99,9% chance that Anarchy will come alongside destruction because mankind is not going to accept Anarchy in any way, shape or form. What I see as being most likely to happen is a "final revolution" where the Establishment/Government/System of Rule can no longer be sustained (because of the inherent corruption) and mankind will "lose their minds" and it will be a "free-for-all". In this "free-for-all" there will be a moment of pure and complete Anarchy, and this is where mankind will make it's choice of repeating the cycle (another 13000 years or whatever of more Government) or to break the cycle and "evolve"/"develop".
But, this is my opinion, which is born out of my mind and reason, which is nothing more than Materialistic/Corporeal/Psychological conclusions.
I can't live my life this way. So I live my life on the path of Faith above Reason. And on this path, I live my life with the idea/hope/goal/purpose that it doesn't have to be this way (you can call me naive for this). I live my life knowing that there's a 99,9% chance that things are going to get "fucked up", but my actions and intentions are only towards the 0,1% chance that it will not get "fucked up".
When I speak of Unity of Souls, I speak of an idea where there is the possibility of uniting mankind not because we all agree that this is the best mode of government, or because we all agree we are polluting the planet or whatever but because we are in fact all the same, we are in fact all at the same stage of development, and that we are in fact all the same Soul and there is no "Other", there is only an illusion created by our minds and senses that tells us "look, there's another person" instead of the Truth which is "look, there's another myself".
I know that on this planet we must be "rational" and look at our problems in a "rational" way. But the Truth is that this is what we have been doing all along and it has brought us nothing but pain/misery/suffering/etc
What I do see is that there have been (and still are) some people which have followed the path of Faith above Reason and those people are responsible for every drop of Good that mankind has enjoyed.
To conclude, you asked me what sort of catalyst I think would be necessary for "change". My response is there is no such catalyst. This is an ongoing process and the time for "abrupt" social changes has come to an end. We will be slowly swallowed up by the new system of rule based on technology (with the consent of the overwhelming majority of the population) and only the inevitable "saturation" and "breakdown" of the system itself will cause the so called "change". But even then, it's very likely the cycle will just repeat itself and we will go back to the "stone age" to try and get it right this time around.
I just try to get people to look behond Corporeality into Spirituality where you are indeed Imortal and Eternal so that at least some people may get some peace of mind (which leads to them living more "conscious" lives overall I think).
Sorry for the wall of text btw =) and I know this is kind of a "silly" talk and I went off-track a bit. But these things can't be separated and I can no longer live in a world that only exists in the interpretations that my brain makes of my five senses.

Thank you for affording me insight to your Unity Of Souls paradigm. I apologize for the length of time between my replies but I am homesteading and I can't manage enough time away from my farm to engage on steemit as much as I need.
I did speed read your reply but will copy it and take it back to my farm to study closely tomorrow. I wanted to briefly state that nothing you wrote is silly and one should always feel entitled to write extensively when sharing meaningful ideas. Even at sharp glance I found your post to be of great value to consider and I have immediate synergistic thoughts arising from it as it entwines with my perceptions and closely held beliefs.
Enjoy your evening.

Thank you for the opportunity to share identification of common ground. Discussions of "consciousness" have been crucial in my personal development for many years. And yes I embrace "consciousness" rather than deity. I rarely need to make any formal statement of the interchangeability when responding to religious paradigms offered to me in sincerity.
I have never written anything that wasn't foremost a conversation with myself. It seems reasonable that art enacted in purpose of truth will always reward those engaged. In kind those engaged in sophistry despise the flow and conviction of truth in art as their deception requires far more labor to maintain a static facade. That is why statism is the realm of psychopathy and incompetence where initiation of aggression is traded like currency.
I embrace anarcho-capitalism and have worn an ancap flag t-shirt 24/7 for many years now. I don't embrace collective action period. Many people have been awakening to the Hopi Elder saying: "We are the ones we have been waiting for." However I recognize that the wisdom in that statement when channeled toward progression reveals "I am the one I have been waiting for." It is my vision that the answers mankind need are only found and accepted at the individual level. Anarchy is as anarchy does.
Regarding your expression "look there goes another me", I know the interconnection you are experiencing and that realization did not come to me through faith. I sense that your definition of faith isn't exactly textbook as "belief in something despite no evidence to support that belief". I suspect that what you enjoy calling faith is in my best practices called "conscious intuition".
Consciousness in my case affords synchronicity which makes things happen when they need to happen. Where some folks give thanks to a creator for blessings received through faithful practice I instead recognize confirmation of the path in pursuit of infinite truth. I can't and won't steer from this path. Once enlightened I suspect there's just no way to go back to the darkness. Furthermore I can't imagine any force that can drag me back.
I'd like to say that I share your perspective of immortal and eternal, as I have never seen any evidence that ever-lasting life is avoidable. Therefore the common ground you've identified confirms you've constructed not a "wall" of text but rather a bridge of dialogue which hopefully others are sharing even in silence.
All individuals are unique however nobody is special. There is no separateness no matter how much that scares those that are consumed in their ego-misidentification. If you have read the work of Eckhart Tolle you may share the insight of suffering as unnecessary. Mankind demands collective suffering. I'm through with mankind's hell and those who demand everyone must attend.
The closest thing I have to a religion is music, and this track arises in my mind per our discussion so I'm sharing it with you now. The lyrics have always resonated with me.
Thank you for being here on steemit.
