Ever wonder why a larger percentage of us aren't about figuring out our collective problems and solving them, thereby ensuring the continuity of civilization and ecological integrity? Well, here's my list of top five reasons and their explanations. Take these as a springboard for further discussion and argument.

Agriculture is central to human civilization.

From Wikipedia: "A civilization is a society or culture group normally defined as a complex society characterized by the practice of agriculture and settlement in towns and cities. Compared with other cultures, members of a civilization are commonly organized into a diverse division of labor and an intricate social hierarchy."

And: "All human civilizations have depended on agriculture for subsistence."

Civilization as we know it does not exist separately from agriculture. And yet most of us, as individuals in civilization, are far removed from agriculture. Why? Why is it that most of us agree that fresh-off-the-vine tomatoes and fresh eggs taste better, and yet so very few of us plant our own gardens or raise a couple of hens? We'll spend hundreds of dollars per year to beat down our lawns into poison-perfect turf, but we can't be bothered to spend a few dozen dollars and a little time cultivating our own food.

And They Shall Have No Masters: The Natural World Order PDF Print E-mail

Dying is the Old Order of fear, mystery and centripetal control. The New World Order conceived by a few elites for the rest of the world must evolve and become the Natural World Order, a more distributed and natural affair of decentralization and renaturalization. If the elites do not make room at the drawing board, then they imagine less than they should and hold Nature in poor esteem, even disregard. A natural world order is timeless. A new world order is merely ... new. And thus far, the control of the many by the few has proved poisonous to the Earth. Given our situation, it would seem that we no longer have time or cause for incrementalism.

Control and power dramas cannot describe human civilization forever.  These stories are old, repetitive and uninspired. How is a code written in stone a living code? How is ink on paper divine? For too long, we have accepted arbitrary limits in the guises of such memes as "one true religion" and "chosen people", and hierarchical spiritual control. These are forms of outsourcing that let other people think for us as we sleep our lives away, and they are counterproductive and unsustainable.

Why Jedi? PDF Print E-mail

Recently a friend engaged in a philosophical discussion with me asked why I would affiliate this site with Jediism, in name and in spirit. He suggested that the term "Jedi" evokes Star Wars, George Lucas, and a complex and possibly distracting set of science fiction and pop culture baggage—rightfully so. This led to some soul-searching and reflection upon the initial reasoning process that went into choosing a site domain. Perhaps it will be useful to share this perspective so that anyone who happens across this site and wonders why they are reading (hopefully) thought-provoking articles and forum discussions attached to a term that they previously saw only in Star Wars movies and fiction books will be able to review the reasoning that went into this choice of affiliation with Jediism.

Yggdrasil Foretelling Four PDF Print E-mail

A word from Yggdrasil, diviner of Earthmind:

 

What must we do with ourselves now, as the humans of Earth, in these circumstances?

 

Social Mechanism


Heaven reflects the flame of clarity:
The Wise Person analyzes the various levels and working parts of the social structure, and uses them to advantage for all.

Success if you keep to your course.
You may cross to the far shore.

This is a matter of Positioning—not only yourself, but others as well.
There are niches to be filled, potentials to be realized, right livelihoods to be found.
You are not building a new organization, but altering an existing infrastructure.
It's worth the effort, because it will provide union, community, and an ironclad alliance.
