The hierarchical pyramids
Machine at the top National governments at the top
National governments at the bottom Moral majority at the bottom
Some time in the future our present reality shall seem impossible, a reality in which Human Being is Defined as all people allowing themselves to be forced, instructed, ordered, persuaded, expected or bribed to be amoral or immoral when every one of them is and has always been, at bottom, truly moral.
At the beginning of the First World War there was a surge of flag-waving patriotism and enthusiasm for the fight. Later this turned to sickness and horror as the death-roll lengthened and the suffering mounted.
At the end of the war people were joyful and optimistic. For a time they were united by this momentous event and the euphoria it aroused, hoping that this would prove to be the war to end all wars. And it could have been, if this fervent wish had been translated into so strong a determination for world peace that governments could never again ignore and override it.
For a brief time the right-hand pyramid was inverted, and moral awareness reached towards the top in peoples' minds. But soon they returned to their separate competitive ways and the world reverted to its different Machine self-interests. Consequently, within a mere 21 years the world was again plunged into total war, followed by another never-ending series of smaller but equally violent wars. We have not yet realised that the human world community must primarily conduct itself according to the fundamental humantrue morality embedded in the postconscious mind of each and every individual. But we are learning, as the Iraq war demonstrates, and eventually, surely, we shall insist not only that there shall be no more war, but that all the Machine pressures and influences which are the underlying cause of war shall be removed.
When that time comes we shall have a new Definition of Human Being - that no individuals shall permit themselves under any circumstances to behave in any way contrary to their supraconscious humantrue morality. Immorality shall then be utterly repugnant. Not only that, but concepts, practices or institutions which had once put their interests before humantrue interests shall cease to exist through non-acceptance and complete lack of support.
The pyramid concept, with a few authoritative directors at the top giving orders and the great majority at the bottom doing what they were told, shall be remembered as ridiculous, kept in place by ignorance, not only contrary to humantrue morality and common sense but also unworkable. The ultimate aim is to have all people equal. As a first step to achieving equality we should invert the pyramid, with the moral majority at the top, leading the way.
