3-21-14, Fri.: Pyramid Schemes & the Cults Who Use Them. Much of our Human history has been dominated by Pyramid Schemes, so named because their framework follows the shapes of the Pyramids of Egypt: a tiny, totalitarian slot for those adorning themselves with power over others to the demise of the lower levels of this social hierarchy followed by descending layers of importance and authority, which are encouraged to recruit and indoctrinate later imports into their system, who also have descending allowances for autonomy and ability to voice their opinions which is represented by even fewer options to exercise choice within the structure which confines them. Slaves are always traditionally at the bottom of every culture of despotic, or authoritarian-by-placement (often assuming power through bloodlines and family ties rather than character, or ability) ranking, and are allowed freedom only where it serves to generate further accolades for the imprisoning culture which has stolen their rightful liberties and the originating, or the desired society of their own choice. The reference to the Pyramids of Egypt in such a disagreeable manner by relating it to a reprehensible use in todays times is regrettable, and is cited ONLY because the stately grandeur of the remarkable shape, along with the Sphinx (which has stood beyond the reach of recorded history), also fostered one of the great cultures among the many who have shaped our planet, and were also a Pyramid hierarchy society of success and greatness! We, in the United States, have the inheritance of separation from our Mother Country- England- to regain a familial relationship, later history in our history, to both of our benefits. As Americans, we were united in our desire to claim Freedom in many areas, which had never before been claimed upon this land by the colonizers empowered by a unique opportunity to gain homes and futures, rather than continue in a land already overcrowded and overwhelmed by the needs upon their Crown and kinsmen. We are all in the deepest debts to our founding leadership who were visionaries in their tasks to unite the fledgling nation under a Constitution and Bill of Rights which laid the foundation for sovereignty under which we gratefully guard the continuation of Our Republic. Is our government a Pyramid Scheme? It might be characterized by some as such, but we recognize our government as a stable and flexible framework designed to house the greatest, egalitarian contingency to nurture growth and encourage advancements for the Greater Good of Humanity. So in regard to its shape as a government and the society it supports, its design is created from within by the people who inhabit it, so we know it is a circle in which all is connected with room to move equally and according to individual desires within our wholeness, and it always completes itself and returns to its source- from and by We the People. Our ancestors spent ages serving hierarchies which wavered in the design of their goals to govern those who served them. Humanity was compelled to exert pressure to gain Freedom to hold land, to create a marketplace for the honest works of their hands, to receive recompense for the labors performed, and many other endeavors which were previously considered owned and owed to a ruling person/group who maintained sole ownership of all things, including the humans upon their lands residing in utter and permanent slavery. These times of totalitarianism were often the expedient manner to maintain a military to defend them all from invaders, both transient, as the threat of invading hordes, and those by local and neighboring powers, but ultimately it is by the development of the middle class and the need for personal liberties to execute business practices day-to-day, upon which the efficacy of Civil Liberties were formed, who finally reformed the power base still maintaining these same miltary defenses with the same allegiance to country, simply different heads of the governments they responded to. This unfortunately, just as with the previous hierarchies, also became subject to the ideals of the reformed governments succeeding them, except these later groups had won their voices through commercial guilds, to seek greater response to their changing needs and desires. Eventually, this move to achieve Freedoms in the marketplace evolved into the move for individual Freedoms which characterize the American Republic of the United States still struggling to insist our Rights to continue our Civil Liberties in light of global issues and domestic terrorism which has sought to instill fear and subjugate our Rights in favor of unilateral infringements upon us all, instead of seeking the tormentors and punishing them for their wrongs. Got to go! Out-of-time at the fantastic library! thank you!
