All Forms of Selfish Government Will Come To An End

Today, we're all immersed in the quality of selfishness, seeking to benefit ourselves with no regard for others. This means that ALL systems of government that exist today have been built on the quality of selfishness.

Every government that's dictatorial, oppressive, power-oriented, and/or selfishly run by a small group of people or families, will fall. In front of God, we're all equal. We're different, we have different roles to play, but we're all equal. No one is greater than or more important than the other. The selfish governments of this world will soon come to an end.

People want to be free - free from their own selfish, oppressive and harmful ego, and free from other people's selfish, oppressive and harmful ego.

Freedom isn't about being free of government, it's about being free of the oppressive governments of this world. It's about finding freedom in the government of the next world, The kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is still a government, but it's governed by the qualities of love, bestowal and equality.

Some people think that separating from others is the answer, for example, what's happening in the Ukraine [1], what happened in The United Kingdom with the Scottish independence referendum [2] etc.

Separation isn't the answer. Our ego will continue to grow and we'll find new ways to hate each other. We'll hate each other so much that each person will want his/her own country. There are ~7 billion of us, they'll be 7 billion countries - and we'll all be miserable.

The only solution is connection. Connection makes us happy and it leads to efficiencies in economies of scale [3] and scope [4]. When resources are shared (police, hospitals, schools etc.), it's a lot cheaper and its better for the environment and all of Nature.

We have to change from personal selfishness (seeking to benefit ourselves) to mutual bestowal (seeking to benefit others). We have to rise above our egos, stop harming others and seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

When we connect in mutual bestowal, all forms of selfish government will end, and we'll reach harmony and balance with each other and with all of Nature.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

May The God of Israel, The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob guide us, may He lead us and may He show us the way.

Stay calm and do not be afraid.
God is with us.

A Selfish Chinese Government Censors Information

The Chinese government has censored information [1] about the Hong Kong Protests [2] from reaching people in mainland China. They've done this, not because it's in the best interest of the Chinese people, but because it's in the best interest of the Chinese government. The Chinese government is selfishly seeking to retain its own power.

When you see protesters in Hong Kong, you're looking at people who want to be free - free from the oppression of a selfish government.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Is Our Current Political System Archaic?

Why should we elect someone to represent us in government when we should be able to represent ourselves? Is our current political system of electing representatives archaic? 

Our current political systems were developed hundreds of years ago, at a time when there was no technology, so it made sense to elect someone to represent us in government because we couldn't all show up at the same time. However, with modern day technology, shouldn't we be able to represent ourselves?

Shouldn't we revisit the way we're represented in government? Shouldn't we incorporate modern day technology to give everyone a chance to represent themselves? With modern day technology, it's possible for the many to have their say, instead of using the voice of a few elected representatives.

We have the technical minds to build a foolproof, fraudproof, tamperproof, technically sound system that would allow each and every one of us to represent ourselves in society.

We'd have to make sure that the voting/system/process wasn't unduly dominated by a few - by the technically savvy, the politically inclined, those with a vested interest in the outcome, the most vocal, most passionate, most aggressive, most inspired etc. Perhaps incorporating quorums would ensure fair participation and representation.

Isn't it time to review the way we're represented in government? In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Altruistic Communism

Communism is simply sharing. Altruistic communism is divine connection.

Communism failed because it was implemented for the sake of man, to benefit man; whereas, it should have been implemented for the sake of The Creator, to bring contentment to The Creator. They tried to implement a spiritual system without God in the pivotal role. God has to be front and center, the focus of attention. Also, communism was forced upon people, whereas there's no coercion in spirituality. 

American propaganda against communism has left the world nervous about socialist programs that seek to benefit others. Capitalism has been touted as the answer to the world's problems. It's not. The answer won't come from politics or economics but only from connection.

We have to change from personal selfishness to mutual bestowal and we have to connect with each other in mutual concern and consideration, where everyone is seeking to benefit others instead of themselves.

We have to understand that we're all equal and we have to start treating each other as such. However, just because we're equal doesn't mean we're all the same. We're all equal, but we're different. We all have different skills and talents.

For example, today tycoons use jets to fly around the world to make selfish deals that benefit themselves and/or increase shareholder value for their selfish organizations.

When we connect in mutual bestowal, tycoons will still exist, but they'll fly around the world in jets to make deals that benefit all of humanity and the entire world.

Not everyone will use jets because not everyone will need to, but jets will be available to those who need them.

Everyone will have the necessary resources to live up to their true potential, so they can seek to benefit others instead of themselves to the maximum of their ability.

We Need To Connect For The Sake Of The Creator

We need to connect for the sake of The Creator and not for the sake of humanity. Connection will make us happy, but it's not the reason we should connect.

We should connect in order to bring contentment to The Creator. By connecting with each other, and by being good to one another and all of nature, we'll bring contentment to The Creator.  

The reason communism failed is because it was developed for the sake of humanity. The new inclusive society we develop will be built on love, love for The Creator.

Connection isn't just about humans connecting with each other, more importantly, it's about bringing contentment to The Creator.

It's About Governance, But It's Not About Politics

Our internal qualities are going to change from selfishness to bestowal. We're going to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

As such our governance is going to change. Instead of being governed by the kingdom of this world, we're going to be governed by the kingdom of heaven, The Kingdom of God.

Politics exists within the kingdom of this world. Since we're going to leave the kingdom of this world behind, politics will cease to exist.

Instead, we're going to live in The Kingdom of God and we'll become "a kingdom of priests and a holy nation" (Exodus 19:6, NKJV).

The Political System Has To Change

The political system at all levels (federal, provincial, state, county, municipal and city) have to change from selfishness to love of others. Politicians have to seek to benefit others instead of themselves.

The entire political system has to:

1. Use a round-table format for discussions, where all members are considered equal
2. Be 100% transparent, even using a reality show format for continuous video feed

3. Deliberate and discuss all issues to demonstrate that all issues have been considered

4. Prioritize actions based on emergencies and need

5. Find a way to include input from all citizens so everyone is given a chance to participate
6. Put an end to all lobby groups and forces that put pressure on the decision making process

 

Transparency will build trust and when citizens are allowed to participate in governance issues, they'll be more likely to cooperate with decisions even if their personal preferences are overlooked. This will reduce resentment because everyone will feel that they're a part of the process.

 

The political system has to change from selfishness to love of others, it has to be based on the principles of mutual guarantee, where everyone seeks to benefit others instead of themselves.
