CIVILIZATION >>> The Creative Orientation
|
There are three basic models for promoting social change;
Let's look at each one briefly. Conflict Manipulation Conflict Manipulation is a powerful way of driving people to destroy something or someone the political or cultural movement is against. Conflict manipulation is powerful because it appeals to people's primal fears, hates and anxieties. It's expressed through endless propaganda, manufactured outrage, denunciation and the suppression of opposing views.. Violence, name calling, double speak and language policing are the tools used most widely in manipulating conflict. (see Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell.) The people and institutions destroyed by Conflict Manipulation are replaced with even worst people and institution because the means by which this change is accomplished are in reality the ends in themselves. This is the most important thing to understand about this model, the energy behind the change, is the creation itself. The psychological essence of Conflict Manipulation is sadism. That's why in the long run, Conflict Manipulation 'revolutions' ultimately eat their young and old alike. Dr. King beautifully noted, Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. The Infantilization Model or, Bread & Circus for the Brave New World "Culture is not your friend" Terrence McKenna The Infantilization model of social control gives the masses lots of low thought entertainment, cheap neuro-toxic foods, endless games and gadgets to play with and lots of mood altering substances to get addicted to. Millions of adults around the world now live cradle to grave binging on these distractions, disconnected from themselves, from deep relationships and from their own creative power. In this culture spirituality consists mostly of simple clichés and shallow self help platitudes. While it's possible to escape this, it takes a lot of courage and the will to discipline yourself into a new way of being, both for yourself and the world. The Creative Orientation
Unlike the previous models, the Creative Orientation lets you create what matters by developing your highest creative faculties - mind, imagination, intuition, perseverance, resilience and discernment. The Creative Orientation has three steps:
Step one - Conception of the ideal outcome Conceiving a powerful Vision of what is desired is the very first step of the Creative Orientation. This first step takes serious work because what is wanted does not yet exist in reality so it must be first imagined, clarified and articulated in consciousness. People often think that what they truly want is impossible. Yet what seems impossible today, may become possible tomorrow. For example: In regard to our mission, we now have all the scientific knowledge and expertise to feed, house and transform our world for good. We clearly imagine a world of plenty, of peace of spiritual self realization, a world of 100% for 100% of Humanity and Beyond. Step two - Choosing to Create Choosing to bring the conceived idea into existence is the crucial second step. While this may seem simple, many people have great ideas and inspiration which they do not bring into the world. So the second step is made by saying with intention and commitment, "I choose to bring this idea into existence." Spoken with integrity, your Word is the creative act that takes you to the third of the Creative process. Step three - Doing the Work After Conceiving the vision and Choosing to bring it into the world, step three is to start doing the next steps that come to mind. In the beginning it doesn't matter if these steps are big or seemingly insignificant because starting builds its own momentum, brings new ideas to mind, attracts others and bit by bit makes the Vision increasingly real in the world. This three step creative orientation is how we accomplish our Starkid mission and build an enlightened global civilization for all the generations to come. |
