These ideas came from an outline that was created in January 1995. What can I say. I was compelled by spirit to express. There was no specific forethought or planning for the briefing. It came through essentially as stream of consciousness in about a 3-4 hour unbroken period of time.

FOR SOCIETY TO WORK, THE MEMBERS OF SOCIETY MUST HAVE A COMMON AGREEMENT BETWEEN THEM.

• Each is entitled to what that individual needs: physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.

• In return, each is responsible to serve society to the best of that individual's talents and abilities.

SOME MAY CALL THIS COMMUNISM. SUCH, INDEED IT IS, FOR A SOCIETY IS NONE OTHER THAN A COMMUNITY.

• Perhaps that is the key. Throughout the world we have societies in the midst of turmoil.

• What they lack is the common unity that lies at the root of the word community.

• Note that nothing about community require living in communes.

SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS MUST SERVE SOCIETY OR THEY SHOULD BE ABOLISHED OR TRANSFORMED.

• Government is one of the key social organizations.

• Institutionalized religion is a major social organization.

• Companies are major social organizations that are often overlooked.

• All three of these are currently doing a very poor job.

SOCIETY HAS A RIGHT TO DEMAND THAT SERVICES BE PROVIDED FAIRLY, EQUITABLY, AND EFFECTIVELY.

• The present economy clearly does not live up to this.

• Government bureaucracy is notorious for its ineptness.

DISTRIBUTION OF GOODS AND SERVICES IS A SOCIETAL DECISION NOT AN ECONOMIC ONE.

• Free enterprise usurps the societal responsibility for this, allowing the captains of industry to set the fate of many.

• There is more than enough for all if only we collectively agree to make it so.

THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH WORK TO KEEP ALL EMPLOYED.

• Here too, it's only a matter of deciding that we will not waste the resources, skills, and talents of any individual.

• An economic system that keeps unemployment at 4-8% imposes a high burden on government welfare programs and on private charities and results in higher crime rates as well. The sad part is why -- simply to foster competition in wages (to keep them low).

MEN HAVE BEEN FIGHTING OVER THIS FOR 1000s OF YEARS.

• Yet, the power of the Empress is far more subtle than that of the Emperor.

FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, POWER HAS BEEN PRIMARILY THE PRIVILEGE OF THOSE WITH GREAT WEALTH.

• The Carnegies, Mellons, Rothschilds, Vanderbilts, Fords, Morgans, and Rockefellers are cases in point.

• Modern day examples might be Bill Gates, Ross Perot, Tony Robbins, and a host of others -- many presently at the heads of large corporations, or in important posts or elected offices in government.

AS THE PISCEAN AGE DRAWS TO A CLOSE, THE EMPEROR TYPE OF POWER WILL NO LONGER HAVE RELEVANCE.

• Power will come from who you are spiritually and what you know.

THE AQUARIAN AGE WILL BRING A RENEWED FOCUS ON INTUITIVE SKILLS.

• Power comes not from us, but flows through us from a source far greater than us.

• In addition, Wisdom is linked with power in a way that has not been known for over 2,000 years since the golden ages of Egypt and Greece and the nature/ goddess cultures of Europe.

THE CURRENT POWER STRUCTURE MUST FALL.

• The seeds for its destruction lie in its very nature.
  • The economic giants control everything in the current system.

  • This will change when people become aware of how enslaved they are.

• It does not provide the key service of making society better.
  • The very essence of power wants to be of service. At one extreme, it serves individual greed; at the other, it selflessly serves society.

  • The nature of current problems makes it obvious that greed is king.

THE HIEROPHANT IS THE RIGHT LEADER IN THE NEW AGE

• That individual most qualified to lead the nation is the one who should be given the job.
  • Is concerned solely about creating an infrastructure that serves society.

  • Cannot be bought by special interests. Bows to a higher authority than man's.

  • Has an ability to understand the big picture and solve problems at that level.

• There is only one individual that came with the mission of leading the United States into the Age of Aquarius.
  • The spiritual awareness of the individual will be obvious.

  • The spiritual destiny of the United States will be made known.

EMERSON SAID:

• Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world.

SUCH SIMPLE WORDS, YET WE HAVE ALLOWED OUR SOCIETY AND ITS INSTITUTIONS TO SWAY SO FAR AWAY FROM THEM.

• Without a spiritual foundation, a moral basis, society cannot exist.

  • Everyone received this foundation during the early decades of this country.

  • Today, many people don't receive any moral or spiritual training.

• There is a major difference between freedom of religion and separation of church and state.
  • The first says that one is free to practice any religion, provided of course that no laws are broken in such practice.

  • The second say that the church shall not interfere in the activities of the state and vice-versa. However, groups such as the Moral Majority stretch this.

THERE IS A HUMILITY THAT COMES FROM PLACING OUR TRUST IN GOD. THERE IS ALSO A SENSE OF THE NEED FOR MORALITY OR HUMANENESS FROM ONE INDIVIDUAL TO ANOTHER.

IT'S INTERESTING THAT WE PUT THIS ON ALL OF OUR MONEY.

• In Caesar's time, such was not the case.
  • Jesus example of looking at the face of Caesar on the coin and saying to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's would be much more difficult when looking at a $1 bill.

  • Does this mean that our money, our economic system, has a spiritual component to it that didn't exist in Caesar's time?

• Why is this on our money, especially given the righteousness with which we tend to separate church and state?
  • Clearly, atheists and agnostics must have a rough time with this.

  • The majority opinion, however, probably would not allow such a change.

  • Yet, our mints don't get mass approval for their designs.

• In whose God and why?
  • There is only one God, though it be called by many names.

  • We trust because we know that spirit guides our destiny, not only as individuals, but as a country as well.

FROM MANY, ONE.

• Common unity is the way that the ONE is expressed.
  • Unfortunately, individualism gets in the way.

• We are a people that take pride in rugged individualism.
  • It's an integral and important part of our heritage.

  • It's also an integral part of many of our present problems.

• Sacrificing the individual for the group is not the answer.
  • First, it simply would not work. Too many people would fight it and rightly so.

  • Second, much of our greatness comes from our individual creativity. This is something we cannot afford to lose at any cost.

• The solution requires creating an infrastructure and environment that fosters individuals to be all they can be while creating goods and services that are of the greatest value to society.
  • Dual focus is the key. What's good for the society is placing each individual where that individual wants to be and can be most productive.

THIS REQUIRES GETTING PEOPLE TO THINK IN TERMS THAT EXTEND BEYOND THEMSELVES, THEIR FRIENDS, AND THEIR FAMILIES.

• For the United States, ONE is all 250 million or so of us spread across 50 states an a couple territories.

• We might start by thinking of each state as One and then combining the 50 Ones to get the ONE. However, the state boundaries put somewhat arbitrary restrictions on the nature of the problems faced, and subsequently the solutions needed from state to state.

• If we're all ONE, we're entitled to the same things, not necessarily in the physical sense -- but overall.
  • food, clothing, shelter, education, work, health care, transportation, and recreation.

• Every individual must have these basic things, not just those who can "afford them".

• We can't allow advertisers to use "mind control" techniques that cause us to consume things that are bad for us or that we don't really need.

INFRASTRUCTURE CONSIDERATIONS

• Government continues to have legislative, executive, and judicial branches to handle foreign affairs + services not provided by the economic sector such as defense and some educational services.

• Economic sector employs people to produce goods and services. Within society this sector must provide for 100% employment.
  • Self-policing agency within this sector ensures that things are done efficiently and that they don't cause undue detrimental effect to the environment.

  • Self-policing agency within this sector should also ensure that products and services are created in appropriate quantities to meet needs + whatever export requirements there are. The media and advertising must not put undue pressure on individuals to consume.

• Spiritual sector provides basic moral and spiritual training. May be denominational or non-denomination, but is mandatory. Further, all such training will as a minimum cover a basic core curriculum that provides the moral foundation for society. The core curriculum is to be defined by the Hierophant.

GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE CONSIDERATIONS

• Government should be driven by an overall spiritual VISION.
  • Spiritual Lead should establish this VISION.

  • Key members from each branch should form planning team to determine how best to carry out the VISION.

  • Legislative branch should pass required laws.

  • Executive branch should carry out required implementation.

• A Constitutional Convention should be called to Re-Constitute the Government.
  • The best and brightest thinkers from across the land should attend.

  • Current members of the government should be excluded since they have too much exposure to PACs. They could serve as advisors to the representatives from their states, but should not be allowed to speak before the convention.

  • The goal for the convention is to generate a new Constitution that can carry the United States well into the new millennium.

  • A secondary goal for the convention is to identify the Spiritual Lead or the Hierophant that is to guide the country into its destiny in the New Age.

• Peace, Harmony, Cooperation, Understanding, Sympathy, Equality

• Helpfulness, Kindness, Joy, Trust, Safety, Abundance, Prosperity

• Fulfillment, Happiness, Challenge, Opportunity, Growth

• Maximum Productivity, Virtually Unlimited Supply of Goods and Services that Truly Meet People's Needs

• Society, not individuals, owns all the production and all of the natural resources of the country.

• Individuals provided with what they need to "be all that they can be", including all necessary education or training throughout their life, and the appropriate environment for employing their skills/talents to serve society.

OF COURSE, THIS VISION IS NOT REALITY IN THE US TODAY.

• Crime is a major problem that is antithetical to the characteristics expressed in the VISION.

• Education is in a very sad state of affairs, which seems to be getting worse and worse though more and more money is expended.

• Society expresses no responsibility to assist them in being all that they can be, and further to find and appropriate position where their skills/talents can be used to benefit society.

• People across the board are not as productive on average as they could be. This is especially true in middle management and in bureaucratic positions but applies in other areas as well.

• The Economy does not ensure that each individual gets a job that is sufficient to meet that individuals needs. In fact, between 1 out of 12 and 1 out of 16 people on average who want jobs can't get them.

SO, WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

• Realize that societal problems are not "government" problems under the current Constitution.
  • The government is empowered to perform specific functions that are for the most part "for the common good".

  • There is no contract between the government and its citizenry, other than that individuals obey the laws of the land; and that the government cannot take away certain guaranteed rights.

• What's missing is a contract or obligation between and among the members of the society. The basic terms were stated earlier:

  From each in accord with their abilities, to each in accord with their needs (physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual).

• Are we willing to trust one another to abide by such a contract? Are we ready to take such a major step forward in the history of the race?
  • After all. the USSR attempted such a step and failed miserably. What makes us sure that we could do any better?

• We have several things going for us that the USSR lacked.
  • We know how to produce goods and services competitively, and have the infrastructure in place to produce all the goods we need. The USSR never had this since they had to divert so much of their resources to defense.

  • We were founded with a spiritual destiny that is prominently displayed on the back of our Great Seal. This, the USSR never had. In fact, the communists essentially eliminated all religion in the country.

  • Our understanding of equality is far more enlightened, realizing that it applies to the soul and to opportunity, not to talents and abilities.

  • We are in a position to be able to provide the environment necessary to allow the social contract to be fulfilled. The USSR was never able to do this.

ONE OF THE FIRST KEY STEP IS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SOCIAL CONTRACT WITHIN THE UNITED STATES.

• This will not be easy, but without one, the US may indeed perish.
  • Our spiritual destiny must be fulfilled.

  • This is indeed a key step toward that fulfillment. There is no other choice.

NEW ORDER OF THE AGES.

• This is a major part of the back of the Great Seal of the US.

• Pretty audacious, isn't it? Yet, whoever wrote that was clearly guided by spirit.

• Well, the time has arrived. We're now at the brink of a new age. The dawn is rapidly approaching.
  • Looking around, however, it does not appear that we are ready to assume a leadership role in this area.

  • The Republican Contract with/for America doesn't begin to address the true reform required to build an infrastructure that provides a sound basis for the future.

  • Neither do the Democrats offer any viable alternatives.

  • Perhaps it's time to say "a pox on both your houses", and start fresh with a set of people free from the influence of special interests.

• Society is a system. Let's start thinking about it as such.
  • Within that context, society's problems are system problems caused either by poor system design, or poor system operation. Both can be fixed!

UNTIL NOW, THE DESTINY OF THE US HAS REMAINED VEILED.

• If anyone presently in government knows of this destiny, it is at the very least guarded as a state secret.
  • This alone is a major sore spot; that a government that considers itself to be the epitome of a free nation and to some degree the leader of the "free" world should have to resort to classifying so much information is alarming.

  • Many of our founding fathers were freemasons and members of other metaphysical orders. I would assume that their tradition has been passed down, but it is not so clear that it was passed to current government leaders.

• If any group (metaphysical of otherwise) is presently aware of this destiny, they too seem to be keeping it in secret.
  • Why this is so is most likely a matter of need to know. In this area, spirit can operate in much the same way as the government does.

• One only has to take one hard look at the back of a $1 bill to know that there is clearly a deep symbolic meaning being expressed.
  • It may be that the meaning is meant to be clear to the subconscious, though pieces like the unfinished pyramid, 13=Death, and the all-seeing eye of God are obvious.

SOCIETY'S GREATEST PROBLEM IS THE LACK OF A SOCIAL CONTRACT BETWEEN AND AMONG ITS MEMBERS.

• From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs (physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual).

ONCE A SOCIAL CONTRACT IS ESTABLISHED, WORK ON A NEW INFRASTRUCTURE CAN BEGIN.

• Will require a Constitutional Convention to redefine government.

• Will require massive changes in the economic system and the way both goods & services and wealth are distributed.

ONLY WITH SUCH CHANGES CAN THE UNITED STATES POISE ITSELF TO FULFILL ITS SPIRITUAL DESTINY OF ESTABLISHING A NEW ORDER FOR THE AGES.
