CHAPTER 7
We are now into the most difficult part of the deliberations. With humanity, especially the contemporary humanity, with its vast magnitude of around 7.5 billion people; spread over 195 countries, with varied socio-cultural, political and religious beliefs, the near impossible task is to put the simplest of ideas into grassroots practical practice. The big and hugely futuristic ideas of the type, which we are intending is surely a certain non-starter. It is even tough to say, from where to start as humanity is so much fragmented, so inaccessible and living in vastly different mental timeline. The biggest challenge is that in such a state of contemporary humanity, any idea or agenda we speak of, shall be susceptible to being labeled as philosophy only and not pragmatically possible. Moreover, the state, governments and politics, against which the agenda of change is proposed, are so powerful and brutally organized that there is a persistent and definitive threat that they shall kill not only the agenda against them, but also those who even present the agenda. They have successfully done it in the past and keep doing so. Still, the agenda to Give People The Crown Back is practically possible. It may however take time and some good luck! Any big change takes huge amount of sacrifice and lives too!
At the very outset, it must be taken into account as why we are saying that this contemporary age and time, when humanity has entered the third decade of 21st century, is the beginning of a propitious and catalytic phase for humanity, where there is optimal probability of effecting a major change in entire human affairs, including state, governments and politics. Why do we say this and what is the practical, objective basis of such an assertion?
There are essentially two broad planks of this positivity and optimism about optimality of effectiveness of a big time change in contemporary state, governments and politics. First is the criticality of technology, especially communication and connectivity. This has brought about a hell lot of integration in humanity. Moreover, now, everyone has a media-potential in his or her hands. With smart phones, internet, social media and personal media becoming available to more than half of the population of the world, almost every single individual has become a potentially powerful ‘media’ in itself and in such an age of connect, communication and dissemination of information, it is not easy to wrap up things in muffle of clandestine and beneath surface insinuations. The state, governments and politics thrived in secrecy, clandestine dealings and underground activities. This is becoming tougher by the day as everyone is a ‘media’, which is not easy to be either suppressed or aligned by the governments and politics. Moreover, technology makes it easy for information to spread quick and thick and create a mood or movement in short time. The most powerful catalyst of any change is the collective unconscious of a society and culture. It in turn creates facilitative and galvanized milieus for effective changes. The mass media, which is now growingly branching off to social and personal media, is the best and most effective element in shaping collective unconscious in favor or against some idea or action of change. Technology has facilitated the potential for any idea to gain and attain the required ‘Critical Mass’ to become a popular perception and a public movement of sorts.
Secondly, it may not be very perceptible to average people and even policy makers, yet the reality remains that despite collective human knowledge, especially objective science, not still being integrated, easily accessible and fully understood, a sizeable number of people, especially those in middle and higher echelons of socio-economic ladder, are beginning to lose faith in old world wisdom and contemporary systems of life-living. The well educated, settled and intelligently energetic youth in their late twenties and early thirties add mass and weight to this chunk of population, who are beginning to question the status quo and existing human order. There is a fast evolving discomfort with whatever they have in their lives in external milieus and they are also looking for something new and definitive, which fall in sync and symmetry with their emerging consciousness. This too is somehow a consequential causality of the first plank, which we have discussed above. Many things more have also contributed.
The good thing is that enough people are asking questions and they not being satisfied with traditional and contemporary answers, seek novel and ‘valid’ answers. The not so good thing is that most of these people are not asking the appropriate and valid questions. We probably cannot have novel answers if we continue to ask the old, obsolete and archaic questions. The questions can be valid and appropriate only when we accept Reality of Reality. That is why we are insisting on the creation of a knowledgeable society where valid and right questions could find their deep roots. The true, right and valid answers are also there in the constitution of Reality itself. The answers shall come tumbling down when we change our consciousness and cognition, and realize what valid questions we must ask to ourselves and to the external milieus.
It is difficult to say with any definitive conviction, because of lack of relevant and specific data, still, from a smart calculation of behavioral and psychological facts available, we can say that already, around 10 percent of global human population has understood and shown good interest in the modern and futuristic reality of Consciousness. This is encouraging sign for the emergence of objectivity and assimilation towards evolution of a singular ‘Identity’ of all humanity. Much of it however has come from the ‘rejection’ of archaic faith-system and not the much desired empowerment of consciousness and cognition. Still, it is a good sign. Thankfully, it has been made possible because science itself is focusing persistently on the hugely critical collective knowledge about the Reality of Consciousness.
Also, it may be said that around 20 percent of global human population may very well be looking for answers of life-living problems, outside the contemporary availability as their current evolved and empowered Consciousness find them not in sync and symmetry with ‘Reality’ as they perceive it. No doubt, 10-20 percent is not enough and for any big change to happen and get seeded in the soil of the collective unconscious, it requires a ‘Critical Mass’ of around 30-40 percent. But then, we have to feel encouraged that at least, the mass is building as scientifically objective knowledge is spreading, though not as fast as it should. That is why there is this huge need for collective human wisdom to integrate and assimilate to present a singularly holistic and objectively unified wisdom for all.
It has to be accepted that entire 100% humanity is not expected to change. If the 30-40 percent of those in leadership and ensconced position could see and accept Reality and mechanism of Human Consciousness, the rest of the people shall happily follow them. Change is always top-level orchestration. The bottom half is only the mass of populism. They follow what they feel everyone is doing. Aping is instinctive. This is what politics and religion ‘misuse’ for their personal profitability. The same instinct is available for any good change in human societies and cultures. Therefore, target of change is not 100%, but only 30-40%.
With all humility and sincerity, it is said for innocent and compassionate acceptance that human consciousness is not designed for goodness, righteousness and appropriates. Why? Because, these are not only humanly designed words or terms but also ‘contextual’ and ‘relativistic’ realities, amenable and evolved to have meaning-purpose-utility only in human milieus, personal or collective. It was therefore only natural that larger humanity could never come around to singular Reality of everything. It is only now that humanity has known beyond reasonable doubts that this very Reality about Reality being ‘contextual’ and ‘relativistic’ and thus given to diversities of meaning-purpose-utility for different persons and groups, is the singular and core trouble of humanity. It is only now that we all have the singular objective knowledge to accept that entire humanity and even all lives on Earth are ONE and have singular common mechanism and process of perceptional universe. It is therefore only very natural that all 7.5 billion humans on Earth have ONE Identity and ONE life-living purpose as all lives have ONE benchmark as well as agenda for goodness, righteousness and appropriates.
The purpose of this eBook is to bring this ‘ONE-Ness’ Reality as singular common agenda for all humans. The soil for the fruition of this enterprise is the most propitious now. The initiation has to be now and there are definitive Entropic Factors in contemporary human milieus, which present the causalities for probability of optimality of this enterprise to Give The Crown Back To The People. It is humbly informed that a detailed deliberation of these ‘Entropic Factors’, which call for this hugely big change in human world, has been chronicled in author’s previous eBook titled, ‘Sanity Is Impossibility’. Like all other 40 eBooks of the author, it is also available for unrestricted download in different eBook formats.
With positive hopes and entrenched confidence on the capabilities of human consciousness itself, we now proceed to list out how this enterprise to Give The Crown Back To People can be reached to its finality of fruition. It must be made clear that this alone is the domain and subject matter of another book as every little detail about the task at hand is going to acquire a bulk. Therefore, what we are going to do is outline the broad aspects of the essential measures and initiatives that require to be taken and make a hint at how they can be implemented.
We therefore talk about two broad and parallel initiatives and tasks, which shall be required as the first basic step towards realization of this goal –
This may sound too simple and insufficient to be true and effective. But the fact remains that humanity actually only needs two simple yet practically near impossible attainments – First, all humans need to understand and accept the Reality of Reality and the central role of Human Consciousness into the expression and perception of Reality. This shall make a single universal ‘Identity’ possible for all humanity. This itself shall solve and correct majority of human problems and ills. Secondly, statecraft, governance and politics need to be reformed extensively so that it falls in sync with new Reality of Reality and primacy of Human Consciousness. The reforms shall make them shed all their current ills as transparency, accountability and subservience to collective human dignity shall be installed by multi-layered checks and balances on their oligarchic and autocratic tendencies.
These two broad domains surely shall have many key aspects and related initiatives and that is not a big ask. The idea is – we are essentially attempting to install a single point agenda for all humanity and this agenda is Human Dignity. Nothing can be above Human Dignity and all things must be happily and effectively subservient to Human Dignity. And this agenda shall be gradually installed in the consciousness of all humanity as we all work towards this singular attainment of a Compassionate Universal Milieu for all humans (collective), through evolution of compassionate higher consciousness in all humans (personal), where Human Dignity has the Crown Position. This can be attained by integration and assimilation of collective knowledge of humanity and its universal dissemination.
The concurrent and parallel aspect is taking good care of the singular source of all culpabilities against Human Dignity. This brutally secretive and monstrously autocratic singular source is state-government-politics. Therefore, the equally important and simultaneous enterprise is to have deep, thick and uniformly universal Reforms of this singular tormentor of humanity in contemporary world. Naturally, this reform would mean reforms in police, security agencies, bureaucracy, judiciary and may include suitable changes in the Constitutions of the countries itself. These details can be taken care of as they are just like filling in the flesh, once the skeleton and central mechanisms are in place.
The more crucial and difficult aspect however is how to go about all these? How to have a start and how to put in place the basics for the initiation of the execution of the agenda of Human Dignity? These are primary practicality test for the change to take place. That is why, we have to invest most of innovative and intelligent efforts to first make an optimum headway for the changes to take shape and get going. It has to be accepted with all humility that the above-mentioned twin processes for installation of Human Dignity is tough ask and therefore shall take years. The reform processes are also not easy enough to happen very soon. What we therefore have to focus in contemporary times is the initiation and success of preparatory steps, which shall lead to the above-mentioned agenda. We shall discuss all these in the coming paragraphs.
At the very outset, there has to be the acceptance of a hypothesis that scientific evidences point out to the fact that as most people lead their lives as a subconscious reactionary self, simply reacting to elements in external as well as internal milieus, it is always crucial that for sanity of humanity, the external physical as well as psychological milieus have to be peaceful and poised. We have talked that politics and governance are always keen to have a conflicted and confused external milieus, and its consequential effect on internal milieus of masses, therefore, it is the most difficult goal to achieve. It is established fact that when the subconscious mind states of average people are not ruffled up by survival threats and resultant conflicts and competitiveness, then only the Conscious mind states can work towards a common high ideal or goal. Therefore, naturally, all sections of society and those who wish to bring about a change have to singularly focus on evolving peaceful, poised, settled and amicable external milieus in society. This requires that all of us have to unlearn the reactionary instincts and evolve receptive mind consciousness. We must vow that we shall never fall in trap of the reactionary and divisive insinuations of politics and governments. This itself shall ensure peace and poise in milieus.
It is for sure that structures and agencies of state, government and politics shall use all forms of violence to scuttle any attempt to bring about peace-order-poise in societies and cultures. That is why, all collective structures of people and even common men and women shall have to drop all other concerns and embrace this single common agenda of ONE-Ness – ONE Identity and ONE life-living purpose as all lives have ONE benchmark as well as agenda for goodness, righteousness and appropriates.
In contemporary human world, there is no dearth of people, groups, public institutions, activists, intellectuals, artists and many more rational and empowered men and women, who in different capacities and involvement work for a better world in uncountable areas. This probably is the best asset as well as biggest trouble in effecting any real change in the world we live. The asset is that we already have around 10 percent of human population very sensitive to the idea of good for humanity. They are the ready catalyst of any meaningful change. However, they also present the face of biggest trouble that there are thousands of themes, issues, problems, threats, deficiencies etc against which these sensitive millions of people are engaged in persevered battle. It is only natural that energies and mass is scattered and seldom reaches the ‘criticality’ level, which could impact changes. The state, governments and politics surely have ease in handling them and emaciating them.
The first change is therefore preventing the dispersion and emaciation of the combined energy and mass of the intellect, activism and engagement against ills and evils and for a better world. The ONE-Ness requirement must first come from those, who have already involved their consciousness and lives for the dream of a good, right and just human world where Human Dignity survives and thrives. The first initiative of change therefore has to come from what we may call the Cadre of Catalysts itself. The Cadre of Catalysts – the activists, academicians, intellectuals, rationalists, artists, litterateurs, liberals, pro-changers, optimists, et al have to accept that human world, the 7.5 billion humans have single common agenda and that is what we have discussed so far. If we install the singularity of reality and universal knowledge about how Reality is expressed and unraveled through the diverse ‘media’ of human consciousness, we shall be successful in having a world with single universal ‘Identity’ of humanity with Compassionate Higher Consciousness. The 21st century needs this primary accomplishment of all like-minded-ness coming to one platform to form a worldwide single Cadre of Catalysts with singular agenda for all humanity – the ONE-Ness agenda.
This unification, integration and assimilation of millions of Cadre of Catalysts shall lend the very vital ‘criticality’ to the energy and mass of the movement towards unification, integration and assimilation of all 7.5 billion people, spread across all 195 nations into one ‘Identity’ of humanity. This in turn shall ensure that even the collective and brutal power-authority of state, governments and politics shall have to bow down to the Cadre of Catalysts and desist from aggravating the external milieus. This has to happen and it has valid reason.
The trouble of contemporary humanity is that over the years, the state, governments and politics have smartly evolved the streamlined and institutionalized mechanism and process for attaining the mandate of legitimacy from people. However, the very people have no mechanism and process in their hands to institutionalize and express their own mandate of legitimacy. This has to be done fast and sure. The Cadre of Catalysts is the way to have it. For example, a political party gets around 25-35 percent of all votes and forms a government. However, if the rest of 65 percent people, who did not vote for the government, wish to disagree with any of the policy or measure of the government, it has no institutionalized way to assert their own more powerful and more legitimate mandate.
Therefore, why not a global institutional mechanism and process for people to assert their mandate and legitimacy claims? The Cadre of Catalysts surely is the way. If there can be a United Nations Organization (UNO) for legitimate nations, why not a United Non-Government Organization (UNGO) for the Cadre of Catalysts? The 21st century is the era of connectivity and communication. Modern era is a time-space for universal sovereignty of people, across and above national, political and ethnic boundaries. No idea and no practicality can survive and thrive if it does not have a unified critical energy and mass of people with single focus and agenda. No idealism and righteousness can survive and thrive if it does not have an institutionalized mechanism and process for legitimacy of mandate. Today is the Time for the Cadre of Catalysts to have them and march ahead with their own DIGNITY for the cherished agenda of universal Human Dignity.
Second important aspect of this integration and assimilation of like-minded-ness is the much required unification of collective knowledge of humanity. We have already talked in detail about how very critical it is for Getting The Crown Back. The ONE-Ness agenda has only one vehicle and carrier – the universal common education-knowledge-training of all humans, with singular focus on Reality and Human Consciousness. Naturally, all scientists of the world have this task at hand to unify and create a Singular Unified Command of science.
Like the activists-intellectuals, the scientific community is also big and hugely powerful but scattered, unaligned and engaged in diverse knowledge-innovation pursuits. Like the idea of Cadre of Catalysts, the scientists also have to accept the unification and assimilation of all diverse agenda and pursuits into singular universal agenda of education-knowledge. No doubt, different domains of Reality, which thousands of very resourceful and respected scientists are investing their time and energies into, are important and humanity owes a lot to them and their efforts. But, the primary issue is – humans and humanity always comes first. Every little or big enterprise the scientists do are essentially for we humans. Naturally, the humans have to survive and thrive in their personal life-living first, then only any knowledge or innovation can have any meaningful fruition for humanity.
There is a small perceptional issue, which all scientists, young or established, have to see, understand and accept. If power, authority, attainments and possessions are not aligned with concurrent, collective and complementing proprietorship of wider humanity – the common men and women, it has little utility and fruition. Also, it unleashes the major propensity of they landing in the hands of oligarchic and autocratic elements of society, which ultimately is used against masses. The scientific community may likely accept with deserved humility, this culpability. That is why the 21st century beckons them to unify, become more aligned and integrated to average people and their world and ensure that their knowledge is translated into empowerment of average person.
The scientists have probably also not understood their own power-authority, vis-à-vis the public. The contemporary world may not have good connect with actual science and scientific knowledge yet, everyone vows by science. Even the most powerful and resourceful leaders of faith-structures and worst of stupid politicians claim to have ‘scientific mandate’ of their hypocrisies. The scientists have to see and accept that they and their collective power-authority of knowledge have much more populist mandate and public legitimacy, compared to that of governments and politics. Also, their mandate and legitimacy are being hugely misused and misinterpreted among the masses. The pseudo-science is probably the largest chunk of ‘fake news’, which political and governmental people and agencies use to ‘buy’ populist mandate and legitimacy for their behaviors and actions. The scientists have to own this culpability as all this happens because of their ‘disconnect’ with masses and lack of integration and assimilation of their collective knowledge. They have to come forward.
There is a very simple and yet hugely potent proposition, which scientific community has to understand and accept. The mandate and legitimacy of state, government and politics should never be sole and exclusive in society. The whole world now knows and accepts that they have grossly misused and corrupted the mandate and legitimacy. They have used the mandate to unleash oligarchic and autocratic actions on masses, suppressing their liberties and compromising the Human dignity. Yet, there is almost no parallel and equally powerful alternative from people, who could use them to bridle the mandate of state, government and politics. As we have talked about earlier, the General Will of the masses is always the superior and ultimate mandate that must have the mechanism and process of restraining the mandate of politics. The scientists of the world therefore must be actively participating in the mainstream of societal and cultural exchanges. The General Will of the masses gets a huge boost and strength when scientists align themselves with common people and throw the weight of their knowledge and wisdom behind this General Will. As we said earlier, the hypocritical and stupid regime of autocratic and suppressive oligarchy fears nothing but the question of reason and logic. The world knows and accepts that scientists have the ultimate and final question of reason. They must lend this weapon to the mandate and legitimacy of the General Will of the people. They haven’t so far and this is the time to correct it.
Moreover, the scientific community has this most important task of scripting a universal and common education-knowledge regime for young and all. It is not only stupid but hugely calamitous that politicians and bureaucrats could decide what humanity needs for its education-knowledge. It is a domain of pure science objectivity and sensibility. Human consciousness, its evolution to a compassionate higher consciousness and logical-objective understanding of Reality is the singular knowledge and educational requirement of all humanity and only scientists can sit together and prepare the roadmap to it. The politicians and governments have already vitiated the educational and knowledge system of humanity. This needs to change.
Scientists must also build sufficient pressure on governments and politics to invest most of the resources of state and governments on education and knowledge. Currently, most nations spend less than 5-6 percent of their GDP on education. This spending is growingly diminishing in real terms every passing year. Humanity needs maximum spending on education and knowledge building-dissemination. It must be around 20 percent of the GDP. The scientists alone can ensure it. This can happen only when the big and hugely powerful and impacting scientific community could extend their weight to the General Will of the masses. It is irreparable tragedy of humanity that archaic and obsolete faith-structures as well as regressive customs and traditions are now the most dominant elements shaping contemporary General Will. The scientific community may kindly and compassionately admit the culpability of this contemporary situation and make proper enterprise to create a novel General Will, based on objective scientific Reality.
It is such a travesty and tragedy of humanity that top scientists of the world, who have benefitted the humanity so much by their persevered pursuit of critical knowledge, are not the celebrities of humanity. All sorts of stupid and hypocrites from the fields of politics, entertainment industry, artists and even YouTubers have become the top celebrities of contemporary humanity, whom millions of people follow as if they are Gods but there is not a single scientist whom average people know and celebrate as treasure of humanity. This reflects how scientific community has delinked themselves, mass memory, popular perceptions and contemporary cognitions. It is calamitous that they are not part of the General Will of the masses. This is tragic and catastrophic as humanity must never celebrate anything else if it cannot first celebrate knowledge and wisdom. Scientists shall have to reclaim their position as public intellectuals and be very much a potent part of the General Will.
The primary trouble with the question of reason, which we are saying is the most potent check on political and governmental hypocrisies, is that most of the contemporary world public intellectuals, who currently supply reason and logic to it, are primarily political itself. The contemporary composition of public intellectuals, especially those, who have access to and friendliness with contemporary electronic and print media, is majorly of those intellectuals, who have some sort of political affiliations or leanings. If not, they se
