From our homes, across America we are sharing “thoughts and prayers” in our empathy with the suffering of huge numbers of people here and around the world now impacted daily by COVID-19. This crisis is related to a general humanitarian crisis with a failing and toxic food system producing pervasive illness, infertility, early development and end of life dysfunction and general malaise, especially in consumer economies now dominated by processed and industrial food. This pandemic brings added stress on the medical and social welfare System that responds with coping strategies that are largely amplifying problems rather than providing solutions. As a result our health care systems are breaking down and we fear the situation can become even more extreme due to the fact that we are also in the midst of a Climate Emergency. Concurrently our struggling economy is impacted with multiple large-scale traumatic events – hurricanes, wildfires, floods, tornadoes – that concurrently stress the System. Taken together with the many other political, social and environmental stresses, there is a sense of deepening depression that is tearing at the fabric of life, a sense of loss of hope – there’s no unifying collective vision for a way out.
Somehow, perhaps only a higher level of consciousness and love will be effective, to
bring change to what we know is “structurally” wrong with the System (our man-made
reality, or “Paradigm”). But fear and a sense of hopelessness sets in when we realize
that the defective System is that way by design. It takes courage to face the fact that
our helplessness and oppression is a necessary condition to sustain the Dark
Paradigm that is operating to concentrate nearly all wealth and power in the hands of
the very few who profit greatly from the exploitation of people and the planet.
The driving force behind the ancient Dark Paradigm is the “power-over” addiction that
plays out as a violent competition for domination of People and Nature by a very few,
demented individuals. The evolution of this struggle for power, over the millennia, has
brought the human “struggle for existence” to the current brink of disaster. Now we
face the very real probability of not only a human die-off, but of global Ecosystems
Collapse. We may not understand these forces and how, or why we have arrived at this
dark place, but we instinctively feel the threat as we observe the symptoms of the
impending “end of the world as we know it”.
If we could get clarity about how we got into this death spiral, then I see real hope to
find a safe way out; to find a pathway from the Dark into the light of the Sun Paradigm;
to birth a new reality in which our lives begin to flourish and all of humanity may thrive
in harmony with the whole of LIFE. But, to find the root cause of the darkness around
us we must be ready to go deep and overturn the fundamental assumptions on which
our lives are grounded. There is shared responsibility for the flawed, interconnected
Systems that continue to empower the Dark Paradigm’s operation; together, all of
humanity have built lives based on fundamental errors common to all of the Cultures of
the world. One and all they chose a path of warfare and male hierarchy (Patriarchy) that
results in a social order of domination by the few and servitude and exploitation of the
many, which trends towards ever greater violence and widens the wealth/poverty gap,
leaving the vast majority of people living in deep and despairing poverty
Down through the ages, Kings and Lords of the land enlisted loyal subjects to serve in
command and control structures (today it’s the military/industrial complex), appointed
licensed commodity and money traders, instituted authorized education and religion
(as indoctrination systems) and established property law and civil authority on which
they built the success and established the legacy of Colonialism. These complex
multifaceted structures of “civilization” enforced an era, like none before, of
enslavement and genocide as the bedrock of a global Plantation Economy that
generated unprecedented upper-class wealth able to ultimately challenge the powers
of Kings. Pirates in the Americas, operating outside of Royal authority became the
captains of powerful naval fleets and the invention of modern money, international
commodity trade and global currency arbitrage amplified the new “private wealth” of
“free traders” to rival the power of the Crown – especially in the revolutionary USA
where the most wealthy Plantation and Industrial privateers could thrive free from
domination of Colonial Powers.
The spirit of this new liberty born in America, (contrary to the propaganda) was
unfortunately designed to work for the benefit of the privileged few who owned most of
the property, resources and wealth of the new nation, creating a government that
structurally didn’t reflect the aspirations of the ordinary people to be freed from the
constraints and limitations of the Dark Paradigm of power-over. The new government
put the reigns of power into the hands of a wealth & property based (male) Ruling Class
who fashioned a constitutional, legal and economic framework that boxed the ordinary
people into lives and livelihoods controlled by a System rigged for their subjugation
and exploitation in ways not very different than that practiced by Kings of old. All
components of this System act in concert to maintain the concentration of power in the
hands of the few – and so, the Dark Paradigm was propagated to the present day when
the Corporate and Capitalistic nightmare scenario of global conflict and climate
ecocide has locked-in.
The means for control of the land, of regulation of travel and navigation and
monopolization of global resource exploitation are, now in the digital era, ever more
manipulated by the capitalist and corporate elite. The people are more urban and more
dependent as “consumers” – and with a younger generation now enmeshed in
extremely vulnerable virtual-reality digital identity – it means that people are easily
panicked and manipulated. Recognizing these weaknesses there is concern for the
further corruption of the American experiment in self-governance (democracy), since
there is evidence that the concentration of ownership of digital technology (including
Artificial Intelligence) in the hands of the 1% is being used to reinforce the lies and
untruths that underlie the Dark Paradigm’s power-over the collective consciousness.
The self-governance that we seek to create, “of the people and by the people” is the
opposite of the cult of personality that surrounds a Ruler or today, a celebrity, a
politician or billionaire. Therefore, it is instinctive for the ordinary people to connect with
each other and resist fears that might separate us. In emergencies, now at our
doorsteps, the barriers that divide are coming down as people of every status have
become vulnerable – the fact is that everyone appreciates unity in the face of our
common crisis. Our shared “thoughts and prayers” become the healing life-force that
builds up our “heart connection and coherence” that can and will establish the
necessary conditions for a paradigm shift that we are poised to accomplish, which
relates to our emerging consciousness of a new “power-with” force for action in global
unison. Only a paradigm shift can overturn the deep conditioning causing us, as
victims, to give our consent to the ever increasing abuse; but until that shift takes hold,
the Dark Paradigm of power-over continues to operate to divide and conquer the
people, even those living in the so-called democracies.
Therefore, what is needed for resolution of our multiple urgent problems is not further
problem analysis that simply restates the structural problems of hierarchy and our
conditioning to accept the world, as it is. Rather, we want the answers that would
come from exploring what lies beyond the untruths of the Dark Paradigm ruling over
our lives; we want a way out of a life of separation – divided as we are, one from
another, and all isolated from Nature and any possibility of achieving our food
sovereignty and security. We don’t need more words, we need solutions that are
practical and accessible now.
Let’s illuminate the way forward using these images: What we see in the world
(hierarchy) is not modelled after what we would imagine in a Heavenly world, where
love rules, as for example in the Gospel Story where we see a divine Jesus living his life
of teaching and healing as a “servant God”. Christ willingly submitted himself, as a
sacrifice, to the violence and ultimate judgement by worldly authority; disproving that
he held to any claim of power-over the world. Consider that, therefore, the world uses
an untruth about God to justify authoritarian claims, asserting that their worldly power
stems from a God-like divine right to subjugate, not to serve. This untruth further
isolates us from knowledge of the true God and our true “Place” in Creation. Christ’s
mission was and still is to break the chains of indoctrination and “education for
oppression” – to “let the captives go free”, knowing that: God is not over us, but is with
us, and whom the spirit sets free (from worldly oppression), is free indeed – meaning
we shall no longer live in the grip of the Dark Paradigm.
There is an increasing awareness, among a critical number of human beings, of a new
consciousness emerging out of the Pandemic Emergency that is preparing the way for
paradigm shift. If you are one of these people, let’s explore how the Lord’s Prayer
presents an inspired plan for activation of paradigm shift – with critical guidance in this
historic moment of crisis. May we awaken, with our sight no longer clouded by the
untruths of the world, and see, not an imaginary heaven, but the true and sacred reality
of our Place and the purpose of our Being. We know that the man-made world is not
reflective of that reality, and we know Jesus’s words “thy Kingdom come” promise that
our world is about to be transformed – to be born anew “on earth as it is in heaven”.
To see more clearly the coming paradigm shift, I ask you to consider the importance of
“give us this day our daily bread” meaning that our necessities are to be provided as a
gift from Nature (Creation) that can be, will be, (once we are in alignment) totally
sufficient to our needs. The promise is that, our everyday experience, sure as the
sunrise, will confirm that “life-supports-life” abundantly in the coming heavenly
kingdom, because the “battle with Nature” ends and is replaced with humanity in a
non-violent harmony with the whole of life – Creation will start giving when we stop our
(greedy) taking!
Working together, as we learn and adopt the power-with strategies of the Sun
Paradigm, then Nature will enable every family to dwell within an environment of their
own making that reflects a new relationship with our food and with nature. Virally,
around the world, people will share and teach one another to make a small space to
make the world a better place; a first step towards our massively transformative
purpose of building the world anew “on earth as it is in heaven”. But how can we take
even this first step; how can the poor be the kingdom builders? Answer – each must be
forgiven their debts and trespasses, as they also forgive others – and each become as
a child to enter the kingdom of God – but, what is the meaning and how is it possible?
Yes, this is the hard part – to be reborn – but what is man-made can be unmade and we
can free ourselves from our conditioned ways of belief and action under the Dark
Paradigm. Can we remake ourselves, our world and restore what is damaged and heal
what has been broken, including the broken hearts and spirits of people everywhere?
How?
The Lord’s Prayer tells us that the key to open the door and enter the “new earth and
new heaven” is forgiveness and reconciliation of relationships previously based on the
world’s concept of trespass and debt. This requires the removal of the constraints of a
man-made system of property and money relationships, which rule in the world but are
not structured in alignment with the rising Sun Paradigm. The trauma, which is
generational, may be removed as we share and validate to everyone’s experience
everywhere in the world – that abundance is the proven truth and scarcity is the lie –
then scarcity and poverty will no longer be part of the human condition. As predicted
by Nelson Mandela, our massively transformative purpose is to “make poverty history”
and it is this present generation that shall make it so, crossing into our new reality
under the Sun Paradigm.
The Dark Paradigm is falling and we are going down with it if we don’t let go of our
poverty consciousness – let go of our hierarchical structure of domination, which at the
top has a King claiming the divine right of ownership of all property, thereby making all
subjects liable for rent. This system of rent is a key tenant of the Dark Paradigm: Rent is
paid in the token system – what we now call money – including the principal token of
subjugation, which is taxation. Tax was historically paid in strategic commodities,
especially grain, and the farmer was principally responsible. The people’s lives were
enslaved to serve the King and the Lords who required the people they ruled and the
people they conquered to pay tax in form of grain and other commodities and in
service rendered to the King. Kings built Empires by warfare on other nations, who
when defeated were then required, on threat of genocide, to slave in production of
grain wealth, the harvest being transported to the Emperor and stockpiled for the
purpose of powering the standing armies of the Empire.
As we know from the Robin Hood legend, it was made illegal for the subjects to have
liberty in the land and to live from the abundance of the forest. Subjects, without
exception were compelled to shelter in proximity to Lord’s castle, with a few selected
servants (slaves) living within the Castle Walls while most are obliged to live in the
deforested, agricultural land and toil to produce grain crops, which was the biofuel of
the ancient world. We, the people, were separated from Nature for the purpose of our
enslavement and exploitation by rulers. Property Law, which governs all human
relationships, worldwide, removes the natural right of the peoples’ place and true home
in the world. It is an “original violence” that is now enforced universally. Lords, who
were granted land-use for their loyalty to the King, created the system of Property Law,
which evolved into what we know now as the Rule of Law.
For the people, it means that we have the status of a “trespasser” on the land of the
Lord, or the King. The trespassing gives rise to the forgiveness by payment of labour or
rent, which evolved into the token system of money that sets up the pattern of life as a
“struggle for existence”. Tokens are only given in exchange for the valued “cash crops”
and commodities or selected service to the Crown, thus devaluing all other abundant
resources and livelihoods. Further, the money value of commodities that the people
struggle to produce for the King, or in modern times, for the Capitalist – this is set by
the agents licensed by the King (now the government) for such commerce and trade.
Rates of exchange, and rent were and still are manipulated to maintain the gap
between the ruling class and the people. In the midst of plenty, the people lived in
abject poverty because of the token money system that focuses value on the resources
that benefit the wealthy and diminish the value of resources that are widely accessible
to the people. In such a manner, the economy operates under the Dark Paradigm, so
as to deepen the general poverty and increase the people’s helplessness and exposure
to debt and more exploitation. Principal among the marginalized resources is natural
sunlight, because it’s unlimited value and because it’s universally accessible to all.
Rulers who became Emperors learned that the key to maintaining the
“centre-of-power” was to impoverish the conquered people, with a purpose that the
potential adversary would never arise to challenge the rule of the Emperor, and at the
root of this inability to recover was the gradual devastation of the ecology of the lands
of the conquered people. This was, and still is, the purpose of agriculture – a very
successful strategy to weaponize food – requiring first the deforestation and clearing of
land for production of annual grain mono crops, and requiring tillage that is a great
labor (in modern times consuming vast petrochemical resources).
Before the era of mechanization, grain production (wheat, corn & rice) required the
conscripted labour of the entire population of the conquered nations, who were
allowed only a very small portion of the harvest for their own subsistence. Cropping
annual grain (the only varieties that produce large heads of seed) that have shallow
roots and add back no nutrition to the soils also effectively destroyed the capacity of
the soil to produce future harvests, and depleted soils result in drought and barrens
only suitable for goat herding that further degrades the ecosystem. Over decades and
even centuries, the ongoing deforestation and extreme exploitation of the soils of the
subjugated people, resulted in desertification of vast regions of North Africa and the
ancient Fertile Crescent – irreversible ecological collapse – the extreme but intentional
outcome of the Agriculture practices enforced upon the conquered peoples by Empire
after Empire.
Humanity’s relationship with food and with nature has been broken for many millennia
and we have lost ancestral wisdom about the natural abundance of undamaged,
thriving ecosystems – so that we now cannot conceive what was the life of Indigenous
Peoples before the destruction of their habitat (as we put to the axe and plough 5
billion hectares). The weaponization of food and the money/commodity valuation of
agricultural products strategic for warfare produces unhealthy “processed-food” for
people and unnatural feed for animals. In modern times we are all consumers of
industrial foods based on processed GMO grain crops cultivated on 2 to 3 billion
hectares, worldwide.
Rising of the Sun Paradigm – no family left behind!
How can we, while embedded in the matrix of the Dark Paradigm, break out of the
hierarchical power structure, if we cannot reclaim our food sovereignty and improve our
general health and wellbeing?
First, understand that the failing, falling Dark Paradigm requires our rapid adaptation
because the environmental crisis and climate emergency are dangerous realities that
will cause food, energy and water supply chains to be broken, resulting in economic
collapse and conflicts in the streets and globally. Adaptation is of immediate concern –
we need to fight the Dark Paradigm – we need to protect ourselves, our families and
communities from the fall, from the great crash and the multiple perils, especially of the
scorching heat, of the End Days.
We can build resilient communities when people at home and in their neighborhoods
establish local, even hyper-local (backyard) food production using never before seen
innovations that are vital for rebuilding our broken relationship with Nature. This
widespread adoption of regenerative growing enables Communities to achieve food
sovereignty and security in any climate – within a “Closed Controlled Ecological
Environment” – this POD CCEE Gardening know-how can be replicated far and wide
to secure abundant food, clean energy and pure water-from-air resources for
everyone, everywhere.
To achieve this result, I have dedicated the SolaRoof technology, integral with the POD,
to development in a global process of OpenSource collaboration. As the inventor, I am
deeply aware of the necessity that we mobilize a widespread, grassroots movement
that is empowered by sharing experience to assure the success of each one who
decides to take action as a POD Pioneer. Individually this paradigm shift is very
difficult, but when we engage our collective skills and intelligence in an international,
interdisciplinary collaboration, then there is a massive capacity to overcome the deep
set resistance to change that is designed into the food system we know as consumers.
We cannot save the food system that we know, because it has been long embedded in
the Dark Paradigm – only the POD fresh food revolution has the potential to rescue
humanity from global famine and a human die-off.
Since the Dark Paradigm is falling, then you can expect to see all of its principal
components fail one by one, or depending on the scenario, there may be a chaotic
collapse of multiple systems at one time, in the near future. But among these dangers,
the danger of illness and global famine due to the toxic and failing food system is the
greatest threat to the security of your family and community. This is exactly why, as we
anticipate the coming kingdom “on earth as it is in heaven”, we must each take action
on the promise of “give us this day our daily bread”. With your children, with your
neighbours and community, learn by doing, as we individually and collectively build a
new relationship with Nature. This relationship is called regenerative and you will learn
to operate in this synergy with natural life support systems within the POD structures.
The universal adoption of and practice of POD CCEE Gardening is the first and most
critical among the many tipping points in the worldwide shift to the Sun Paradigm. Our
success with the POD livingry will lead to a widespread capacity to build a new
Ecological Architecture that is human habitat capable of converting sunlight to food,
feed, fibre and fuel. A built environment creating a new paradigm for constructing our
homes and communities that is fully aligned with the Sun Paradigm.
This transformation is within reach now due to the advanced knowledge that is
accessible by at least one billion people who are online, and who consciously and
passionately seek to build a better world for their children. The POD fresh food
breakthrough can take place with astounding rapidity; it will be the catalyst for the
great shift – abandoning the Dark Paradigm and coming over to the Sun Paradigm. At
the same time, not waiting for the government, academics or big business to take
action, millions of families can take effective action on Climate Change adaptation &
mitigation responses capable of averting or at least managing the crisis that we all
face. We, the people, can mobilize a movement for paradigm shift because, with
internet sharing platforms, local to global communities can establish viral products
offered by interconnected cooperative networks empowering everyone, everywhere to
make the change – and we leave no family behind.
Focus on the rising Sun Paradigm while striving for alignment as we:
-
Build a movement for local, natural food – in the backyard, schoolyard and in our community.
