Introduction
It happened like this: Representatives of intellectual and real power
come together and reflect on the state of the planet. They think of the world
from the human point of view. With the critical discourse they overcome the
mostly well-kept contrast of spirit and reality, and thereby they
simultaneously leave the immanence of existing systems as the whole visualized picture reveals inevitably:
At present, the currently prevailing, mostly selfishly driven power
systems erode increasingly with unknown extent. Accelerating polarities,
existential fears, broad systemic failures driving the paralysis ahead;
inversely proportional to the effected systemic crises and conflicts the
dangerous regress of the so-called functional elites is ongoing: The
traditional as well as over-molded regimes are increasingly returning to their
original bearers, the society/societies, than degenerated and emptied.
Based on actual as well structural power monopolies without sufficient
social legitimacy and transparency, dominant regimes have decoupled from the
people and and established themselves in inhumane. Governments
mostly just react, reacting to changing terms of a crisis-driven reality. And
the majority of the governed has comfortably established itself in this state
paternalism, where effects and developments have been mostly ignored, and tolerate
the insidious loss of their maturity.
The failure of state, the loss of meaning, and the regression of
civilization prove the final and ultimate self-limitation of the previous
systems’ immanence: an ego-centered reality as the circularly repeating past
and a future as suggestively compensating faith of ego-maniacal projections.
Messianic doctrines and "world redemption" are essential causes of
the crisis and destructive developments. Alternative options and mostly outward
directed drafts for change of the world have proven highly useless.
Therewith, the responsibility for warranting an equivalent co-creative development
of mankind has been tainted and led to absurdity. The "empirical test
series" of the regressive ego is finished, and since a long time, the
reckless run "experiment" is threatening even the physical existence
of mankind and nature. Obviously, a long timeline of human development has been
reaching its end, the end of a great era as catalytic disillusioned upheaval,
which carries the incentive of a new beginning:
The age of ‚Ego’ is supposed to be finalized completely in order to start
a new one with the purpose of a quantum leap! This paradigm shift is to
appreciate as a fundamental metamorphosis, which is to shape actively and
creatively: from the full human
potentials for survival and life of mankind and nature. If humans want this and
are able to do so, it needs to be asked: What are the essence and path for the
basic transformation aligned to a humane, livable and also natural civility for
the new beginning of a human world?
I Spirit
and Word
In the beginning, there is not the word, in the
beginning - and especially with this new beginning - there is the spirit. The
word is outside, the spirit is inside. Mind includes spirituality and
cognition, generates knowledge and inner recognition, binds intelligence; the
word makes believe, which is an expression of projection and targets on
external effects. But spirit is always cause, never effect. And acting without
spirit is cause of new beginning.
Spirit is the source of determination and, supported
by awareness and reflection, will be implemented by word and deed. Spirit
refines the person and ennobles the human. Spirit is the ground of the human,
provides the meaning for his grounding. Spirit is timeless, eternally and all
time present. Spirit is universal,
dissolves opposites and connects, includes the individual phenomena of being
and emancipates at the same time.
The human mind is free, clarifies, structures, opens
up to all, the all-one, the unity of universal and self-awareness. Spirit
is the carrying substance of the human self, the only absolute, the decisive
reference and indispensable authority of the individual. So mind is supreme authority of the conscious human
being and therewith first prerequisite of his dignity, of his humanity.
II Inside
and Outside
What and as always the individual perceives, recognizes, discovers, either as cause or effect, it refers to interior or exterior, his inner and outer world. This may arise contrasts; and it needs substantially to differentiate: The inner world is the objective determination, the absolute, the autonomously generated cause; the outside world is that of subjective conditions, of the relative, of the correlating effects.
So spiritually
self-determined, thus free life is always conducted from the inside to the
outside, from the inner connectedness into the outer. At the same time, both
worlds form the respective living environment of people. Therefore, for the fulfillment of equivalent human
life a continuum of vibrant perception, communication and coordination
processes between "Forum Internum" and "Forum Externum" is
needed.
The spiritual human lives and creates from the synergy
of both worlds by inspiring balance and creative harmonization. Thus,
the connection between inside and outside is perpetuating the process as
equilibrium, which is comparable to a control circuit repeatingly striving for
balance, consecutively and dynamically. These dynamics - under proviso of the inner world – continuously
ensures the mutual complementary completion of both worlds: the spirituality of
life and enlivening of spirit.
The Equilibrium is a
central medium of transcendence and facilitates adequate cause and effect
towards an ever-unfolding ‚coincidentia oppositorum‘ . This kind of process, where opposites in vertical and
horizontal coincidence are being processed, connects and fuses the adequate
governance and functional elements required for the development to be human.
Coincidence is - internally and externally - preserved
and inspired by unifying, transcendent life-worlds, as there especially are:
human love, nature, joy, beauty, harmony, grace and goodness, contemplation and
peacefulness. Here, the human discovers what he naturally bears in himself -
and at the same time he gives in return; his life gets to be co-creative
process and essentially fulfilled.
III Self
and Ego
The self and the ego are both, the inner and outer worlds of the individual. The self recognizes and experiences itself universally through mind and consciousness; the ego identifies itself by being, therefore limited by space and time. The ego is existential, the self is sacred. For the self is effective in/out of the sphere of the absolute, the ego lives in the sphere of the relative. The ego is enlivening spirit, the self spiritualizes life.
The self assures determination, leadership,
clarification of the ego; the ego connects the self with the terms of the
reality. The self describes idea, source code, essence, and summarizes the
will, out of which the ego forms the outward identity. The self is the center,
the ego describes the periphery. The self constitutes the
human, the ego the person. The person is born, the human is initiated.
The human, then free of the person and for the person,
is so created by the consciousness of his self, from its determination and
spiritual/mind leadership. The individual is getting to be a human through
awareness and inner knowledge, through reflection and knowledge determining the
order and the conditions of his being. And by the transcendental (re-) connection
of self and ego, i. e. inner and outer worlds, the individual is emancipating,
is transpersonal and just as that really free.
The will generated out of the self is also free,
because the individual inner, transpersonal essence forms and controls the
existence of the personal ego. Its processes of human grounding and
materialization are guided by the spiritually determined self: from inner
center to the inner and outer periphery. Metaphysical and physical merge into
spiritually characterized unity, the worthy human is created - both internally
and externally. That is the power of the self.
IV Human and Society World
The internally (re-)
connected human is - according to his nature and free will - also related in
the exterior to other humans as well the nature. The ego guided and determined by the self communicates,
cooperates and maintains relationships. This can be created just aesthetically
and/or free of purpose, and it also can implement its targeting determination.
Out of this crosslinks, groups, societies can be constituted - at least
coexistently qualified according to inner/outer connectedness and equivalence.
What arises as absolute out of free will, is outwardly
being relativated/correlated to the free will of other inndividuals. The self
and the essence of other humans are inherently part of an individual reflecting
and perceiving, thinking and sentient consciousness. Herein lies the
prerequisite of truthful humanity that is not exhausted in (inter-) personal
equality/comparability of individuals as mere ego otherwise diverse and
varying, but fulfills itself through internal and external holistic as well
authentically lived humanness in/out of connection with other humans and
nature.
This way different free individual wills do not create
competing opinions, competition, polarity, but reasoned positions, which are
learned, weighed, optimized and inspired, complementary transitively merged and
socially/societlally united in the processes of substantial understanding and
conviction.
Spirit and inner knowledge, reflection and cognition,
communicated openly and calibrated, are than in principle leading to an
authentically created consensus and identification with the whole of a forming
human society itself. Also minorities are not longer dominated by the majority
of a collective or a collective superego: The respective fundamental will is
transpersonal-individually decided as well as holistically correlated, primarily
co-creating a societal dynamic for progressive development: by humans for humans!
Consequently, in the new beginning lies the highest
challenge and performance in the transpersonalizing social/societal
transformation, created by the spirit, for and from the humans’ individual
self. Therefore, the human being and its creation, its evolvement to transpersonal
individual in external societal processes reflects a kind of holistic
identifiable responsibility and adequate accountability. Then the alleged human
dignity is less a form and defensive right, but it is a proactive, substantive
assignment and socially/societally formative force of the human: with others,
with the You of the other self, so basically with all for all!
‚All‘ means to
identify humans as individuals, who transpersonally guided share the social decision-making
process and substantially legitimize societal decisions. The individual free
self shapes the real and truthful processes of social/societal emancipation and
transcendence, which can be - as long as it is deemed necessary - incorporated
in a state for the implementation of the will and can set up derived state power
functions for coordinating governance.
All bearers of this kind of mandate for coordinating
the implementation of social/societal will are challenged by special
requirements as they - beyond any kind of personal ego limitation - have to act
out of internal and external connectedness: guided by the spirit of the
‚categorical imperative‘, reflecting and inspiring transparently and openly,
persuading integreous and dynamically, and evolving reasonably referenced on
the existing human dignity.
Than, inner guidance is
reflected consistently in the outer one. This type of really principal’s guidance serves the
human society, their will and their further evolvement, at the same time also the parts of the
society, which are - in dependence on type, state and speed of development –
still in the self-determined step-building towards necessary transpersonal
individuality.
Transpersonally created and legitimized power is
service from humans for humans - according to the development potential of
their dignity – constituted, mediated, and lived in a humane way. This power as
coordinating governance function is based on spirit-led qualifying
participation and legitimization processes:
the individual and societal self-regime for the formation, decision, enforcing
of social will as a continual transformational process of societal development dynamics
and an absolute requirement for humane and competent governance.
Depending on the societal development within the
meaning of transpersonal individuality, this self-regime governance can be
classically institutionalized in monarchies, syncracies, direct/representative
democracies or in mixed forms. About this – in transition to the new
beginning - the respective civil society and/or the resulting associated societies’
systems, considering their own development, have to decide constitutively on
the extend of the self-regime as far as the states’ and governmental power as
coordinating/administrating monopoly are still required.
V Societies
Power and World Order
With the new start, transpersonally led societies are
evolving to decentralized key actors of a forming and constituting system of
in-between social, inter-regional and global relations of humans. The supremacy
is then with the forming societies and associating networks in accordance with
their legitimate creation of will and power dynamics, and therewith a bonding
is created, which is no longer based in the traditional world of states within
the international system. This relic of the ego-systems, being far from humans,
degenerated and globally paralyzing/paralyzed, dominated in particular by
religious, monetary and military-industrial interests, is then history.
For a transpersonal-individually guided and
interacting society world is striving less towards non-violence and
distributive justice, but inherently lives this as a consequence of its
consciousness, its thoughts and feelings. In particular, also here
applies the notion: from humans for humans, from inside to outside, outer
through inner peace!
Proactive peace formation, preventive conflict
containment and management, purely humanly constituted as well lived exchange
and equalization determine the essential basic conditions for peaceful
coexistence and free creative cooperative relations. Here, the human-cultural
plurality and diversity of development constitute the trans-personally related,
inherently as complementaryly connected, and qualifying learning and creation
processes.
Derived out of this, the shaping structural change in
the interaction of the substantially free as well peacefully evolving world
order is based on internalization, not anymore on internationalization of
egomaniac projections of interests and egocentric missionizing out of
ideological and/or theological messianisms of "world redemption". The
international system as ego-centered, traditionly states driven and still
anarchic power world is then taken over and directed by the societies world of
holistic connectedness of the individual self in mutual completion and thus universally
comprehending humans.
So this systemic paradigm shift is grounded in the
interweaving of transcendence (inside) and the internalization (outside) as
crucial coordinates of a new beginning. Especially for the phase of desolution
and transition, when the societal self-regimes take over the governance and
create a dynamically transforming societies world, the timeless cognition
(Napoleon, Memoirs) applies: "There are only two major powers in the
world: the sword and the spirit! But in the end the spirit always wins!"
VI Transcendence and Concordance
According to the universal law of cause and effect,
the following applies: A future is not without the presence and is therefore
conceived out of it. As the spirit: presence is cause. Presence decides about the future, it is the a-priori
of any development. And presence as consecutive development is transforming synchronicly.
As today's presence was still future, the ego took
over an absolutizing, at the same time degenerating dominance. Empirically
experienced causality and technical feasibility started without measure and
mean to dominate life - human and nature. Apparently irreversibly, decoupled
and thus overestimating itself, the ego fell towards its egomaniacal
compensating and also collective omnipotence power projections, at least being purely
fixed on the outside, and remained blindly trapped in the duality of the
matter.
The subordination to the regime of the material has
created technical-economic benefits and practical functional elites, but therewith
it only forstered the external conditions of existence. This systematic as well
as systemic externalization and technically rational illusion detached the
huans from their inside, their individual determination and inner connectedness,
stimulated their fixation on the exterior, usurped and absorbed their inherent humane
capacities – in analogy to prevailing theistic systems.
In order to use such ultimately nihilistic
"life" and therefrom derived emptiness especially symbiotically,
belief systems, promises of salvation and prophecies have projected a
"better future", a future that could never start and was not allowed
to “live”, because the presence was not shaped out of the determination and
meaningfulness of the human self, but was "dominated" by egocentric
power demanding ignorance, fiction and illusion. This
is revealed in the foreseeable, ultimate failure of ideologies, religions,
sects as well as analogously compensating welfare systems, ultimately in the
failure of a "Messiah" to appear, an apocalypse, and a return to
paradise to occur.
The failure of egomaniac power projections and the
outside centered binary immanence logic hypocritical as well as at one time
materially fixed and conditioned ego-systems leave a high degree of deformation
of humans and their development, emptied personalities, which is largely
mirrored by nature as a direct expression of universal law: While humans
believed to control the conditions of existence, they have ruined this and
about that they lost intoxicatingly the consciousness of self, the center. Such
a presence may not create a future, which will adequately create and save the
conditions of a humane determination of humans and their natural environment.
If the transcending human wants to shape the presence
adequate to the nature as well as himself, following his highest potentials and
human determination, he has individually to accept his full responsibility and to
draw appropriate consequences: Only out of the holistic essence of the
conscious human being and its creative substance the regulation and governance
of further development is to realize and still to implement in time.
So the key challenge here and now is to inspire, to balance,
to harmonize, and to unify humans and their societies regarding reality and spirit,
presence and eternity, life and nature. Such processes of concordance start
originally always inside and continue into outside to evolve.
To produce exterior concordance and to stabilize it,
systemic crises and conflicts provide the facilitatory opportunity to merge the
transitional desolution with the transformation processes and consciously
controlling to steer it. Creating this causality is an indispensable
requirement of further dynamic developments for/in the new beginning:
individual and societal concordance in process, function and substance through
coordination, cooperation, synergy.
This transformation process as well as the reorganization
of the constructive performance of the ego-world and its consequences reveal
exclusively the presence as a transition that begins decisively as well as
inevitably inside: the transcendence! If the human reinforces its most
important and significant capacity, the transcendence, than he recovers his
inner determination and leadership, and – then autonomeously ruling and freely being
reconnected with the functions of the ego – he innovatively regulates the
external conditions and adequte governace in accordance with humanity and
nature. Transcendence is the non-conditional requirement for a successful
transformation of appropriate living environments - for man and nature.
With the primacy of transcendence another necessity is
directly to be fulfilled: the a-priori! - When Napoleon left his realization
"at the end always wins the spirit" for the posterity, he wrote this
on his deathbed, so in the face of the afterlife. In
this way, he gave another, at least as well essential insight: Early before
acting in and for this world spirit and knowledge are to be set as the cause. The importance of the a-priori is historically verified
(f. e.): The learning and comprehension of Ashoka as truly great historical
personality two thousand years before Napoleon would have influenced the
development of Europe and other parts of the world much more constructive.
The future of society worlds can thus be only begotten
from clear as well as true mindfulness and self-control of the holistic human
being: a new beginning of the reconnected ego directed by the self, inner
transcendent, outside internalizing and transforming from the inside out, just
for and from the concordant human being as inherent creative and constructive
life fulfillment, - out of self-consciousness, out of spirit!
VII World Power Self
If at the end Spirit "wins", it is not the end of the world, but finally the beginning of the real human world. The silence at the time of the transition to a new beginning is the initiation point of transcendent reconnection inwards and upwards, the absolute of the individual self, the returning to the inner temple, the re-creation and justification of people in and out of the self, the source code of his existence, his consciousness and thus his being.
If at the end of Spirit
"wins", the dominance of the ego-world dissolves. The ego is freed from its restraints and fictions in
the exterior, especially "the saber" is then finally to sacrifice no
more lives. Even the "divine" projected apocalyptic "cleaning
processes" in the outside world no longer help and run out. This end is
transformed to the beginning, once the individual rules itself as a human being
out of his self, out of the spirit.
And if at the end the Spirit "wins" and a
new beginning is formed, the individual, the human being, the presence won its
sustainable future as crucial requirement. Because spirit cannot fight and win
ultimately: Spirit is the cause, timeless as well as universal omnipotence
and -presence, it’s the holistic reference for the determination of human life,
for the concordance of a human world.
The primacy of the spirit generated according to inner
guidance and self-government of individuals and society worlds is enlivening the
present being of a truthful human: Paradise is finally not to project outwardly
or any more to seek there, it is only to find in the human fulfilling himself
when he does finally wish it! Because for that his potentials are
unbroken and unlimited: for the quantum leap into the self!
As at the beginning is spirit - and spirit as the
highest power - the real world power self overtakes the new start! For the
human - probably less creator than mandatory preserver of the physical world – by
determination and potentials of himself is especially predestined and
privileged to be a sensitive and wise creator of a human world. Thus in order
to perform „being human“universally, in reality he has only one world and one
power: the world power self!
EPILOGUE
On the occasion of his state visit to Italy nearly thirty years ago, Mikhail Gorbachev said in a speech: "The way out lies in the spiritualization of life, the rethinking of attitude towards human, nature, fellow human beings, and even towards himself. A revolution of consciousness is necessary … “

I
The takeover of the governance by the world power Self does not describe an automatic process, even if the further evolution is in adequance with the natural human potentials. Because this quantum leap into the transpersonal individuality should have been initiated much earlier. Recently, around the time of the so-called enlightenment the most essential credentials have been provided to do so; this resulting pending change was obviously overlapped and eventually delayed by the industrial revolution. By this technical-economic development, the human evolvement lost itself, largely emptied and soleless in a material and thus outside world.
As a result therefore, in
analogy to systemic heteronomy instead of self-determination, democratic
formation of will and decision processes have been abandoned in favor of a
convenient screen of selfish power
surrogates and ego-maniacally degenerated compensation of real freedom and substantially
legitimized power; out of this, the mostly bureaucratically molded statehood
has been cancelling the virtual contract with the societies.
With this total utilization of
humans it’s been proven that transformation neither is triggered by governing/governance
systems with that kind of immanence, nor clearly decided with free will in
order to be implemented. On the contrary: degradation, fragmentation,
dissolution as a result of this inherent limitation of systems at presence additionally
give an urgent reason for building and forming scenarios finally and
permanently to ensure the evolvement of humans out of their individual self. The
time of entry in this transition – beyond the crisis management - is the
initiation point of a new beginning.
II
This initiation can only be performed by people, who have analyzed and understood the one-dimensionality of existing systems‘ immanence, who are developed as transpersonal individuals acting with full responsibility out of the human self: being free as humans, being a reference as principals – coordinating, inspiring, and creatively as protectively using the societal space for the further development of humans.
This initiation can only be performed by people, who have analyzed and understood the one-dimensionality of existing systems‘ immanence, who are developed as transpersonal individuals acting with full responsibility out of the human self: being free as humans, being a reference as principals – coordinating, inspiring, and creatively as protectively using the societal space for the further development of humans.
High probably, these “pioneers”
are legitimate by the self, a minority characterized by humanity, and as
such not to be confused with systemic functional elites. These humans should be
trusted to initiate the human evolvement. Because of above all, they do not act
against the systems immanence starting the transition - also to preserve
constructive achievements -, but also initiate, internalize, and include the
resolution of systems as far as necessary in order to turn the stagnation
of final self-limitation into transformation.
III
This internalization and inclusion can only be achieved from a meta-level, so "from the outside, from above” beyond the system's immanence, in order then to connect with individuals, regions, and societies being open for real humane development in order to establish a coordinating governance. Because of the new beginning, the introductory transition preliminary to the transformation anticipates - analogous to the process of the transpersonal developing individual self - a systemic transcendence: What starts first from the outside / from top in order to internalize and innovatively to reorganize the immanence of the ego-systems and to establish the transforming governance of the self, is then holistically fused as an inner societal systems’ self.
In analogy to the self-guidance
of the transpersonal individual, a holistic governance system as a transitional
meta-level encompassing and including the ego-systems is to establish. In order
to ensure an efficient function of this "cocoon” in the metamorphosis, especially
in the initiation phase the governance model of syncraty (German: Synkratie) is highly
appropriate. Because it is not dealt any longer with fragmented opinions, but
rather with substantial, homogeneous as well as realistic decision-making and
solution processes based on transpersonal-individual competence. Based on syncratic connectedness
and networking transpersonally shaped decisions are developed and implemented
with the legitimized societal representatives: from humans for humans!
IV
Though during the initiation phase also applied as a crisis transformation is applied, a long-term meta-systemic development is to initiate and to implement. Despite inclusion and integration of the existing constructive system functions associated destructive and failing elements can provoke a kind of resistance as a kind of “revanchism”.
The main reasons for this are
mainly based in the trailing dynamics of old modus operandi of the states world
- adaption or anarchy – as well as the impact of global effects of policy and
government failure. In addition, the carrier of the previous ego-systems have
neither sufficient insight nor disposition to accept the responsibility for the
consequences of their actions and consequences even out of lost development
opportunities.
Such resistance is foreseeable,
though at the same time in the long run meta-systemically irrelevant as
"at the end always the spirit wins". But still in single cases as
well as structurally it is necessary with every means to present a legitimate,
ultimate answer to full extent finally and sustainably to ensure the functions
and spaces of creative transpersonal and meta-systemic development: the
adequate forum externum as an expression of the forum internum.
V
In order to inspire and to
initiate a new beginning of mankind out of the world power self, in particular
Europe – here especially Western / Central Europe - due to its internal and
external historical development seems to be predestined and privileged. Europe was significant
"pacemaker" of world development - for the better as well for the
worse.
Above all, particularly there
are to see the worldwide effective trailing deformations of egomaniac,
eurocentric projections and interventions, which are to be used offensively for
the paradigmatic change as inversely proportional energy of initiation. With
high priority the crisis-driven and destructive developments and functions of
the European system - regress in society and civility, anarchic
distortions and fragmentations, final crisis progressions and over-formed, at
the same time failing statehood – are to change and to transform at first.
VI
Legitimized by the beginning of the self-concordance and in particular by the a-priori introduction and establishment of a "European Syncracy", even far more than just for the crisis management, the necessary conditions are offered, to develop and to institutionalize a peace and regulation power system and governance regime for establishing a sustainable, transcendent, and transformative societies world.
Once this implementation is
initiated, in the meaning of mutual completion of societal relations, it is the
target within the exterior of the connecteness with other societies to inspire
and co-create a meta-systemic human world on a global, universal scale. Here,
in the transition, the coordinating governance/governing for the
formal interaction of society worlds has - systemically depending on the
development level - still to distinguish between inside and outside. In the
self-perception of a then further evolving world of humans such mechanisms will
be omitted.
Because of these transpersonal/trans-systemic
connectedness of the societies and their associations, the substantial chances
and potentials for an evolvement of a real human world as a global society are
qualified and dynamized. The social contract, having started as a "contrat
social", is then universally to compose newly: as ‚contrat social human‘
or ‚contrat de l'humanité‘. A world order being constituted as a real free
concordance order, governed and coordinated by self-ruled regimes, is regarded
as the real-fulfilling universal world power self.
