Intro
Questioner: Well, is there then, from the point of view of an individual who wishes to follow the service-to-others path from our present position in third density, is there anything of importance other than disciplines of personality, knowledge of self, and strengthening of will?
Ra: I am Ra. This is technique. This is not the heart. Let us examine the heart of evolution.
Let us remember that we are all one. This is the great learning/teaching. In this unity lies love. This is a great learn/teaching. In this unity lies light. This is the fundamental teaching of all planes of existence in materialization. Unity, love, light, and joy; this is the heart of evolution of the spirit.
-Ra, The Law of One Material [52.11]
An existential crisis haunts all conscious beings who call Earth home. Humanities’ cynical commitment to capitalism and the profit motive as the measure of prosperity has created this crisis, guaranteeing a dire and disaster filled future for all life on Earth. Continuing along the present path paved by civilization, reality deeper into the 21st century will involve facing the consequences of being at war with the world. Large looms the continuation and expansion of the constant threats we already live under due to human action; war, extreme climates, pollution, poverty, starvation, drought, land loss from sea level rise, mass displacement, genocide, murder, rape, torture, drug addiction, overdose, militarized police squashing protest, nuclear war, desperation-motivated petty crime and all the other regularly occurring tragedy witnessed daily on the world stage. Every trespassed boundary and traumatic experience in the world are all effects caused by human action motivated by arbitrary thoughts and belief systems. We are experiencing the consequence of living lives out of balance with the Great Way.
Fortunately, every day is a new opportunity. Within each and every individual, a spark exists awaiting its proper kindling to unleash its full expression, gifts awaiting to be shared with the world so we may all be richer. Hope and faith recognize the chaos created by crisis as a tremendous catalytic opportunity for great change. The time is now to willingly transform ourselves to meet the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced. In doing so, the task of navigating our obstacles will necessitate and bear the profound personal and collective growth to reclaim the power of our individual Will and collectively direct our actions to create a peaceful and prosperous world for life to thrive on Earth.
Absent a significant change in action, the world speeds down sturdy tracks past war torn remnants of life and culture to a point of no return. This destructive path is unconsciously followed by conforming masses, for it has already been witnessed on silver and black screens and reinforced psychically and behaviorally through our present cultural norms; the symbolic order conditions us to pursue the Big Other’s desire. The world produces desires, and desires produce the world. Businesses invasively advertise for a reason, after all, as the unconscious programming can not be ignored as long as we provide it our attention. We are experiencing the conclusions of fear-charged actions, ignoring the lessons they teach and instead making them into modern movie-myth we then unconsciously make our experience. So we think, so we feel, so we act. The familiar, continuous effects caused by our mistake-filled history repressed in hubris, ignored, and thus repeated; tragedy after tragedy becoming farce. An already stressed and stretched Empire turning its teeth inward will also need to grapple with increased extremes in temperatures, rising sea level, more frequent and intense natural disasters, mass extinctions, destruction and displacement, toxic air and water due to pollution, droughts, disease and a myriad other symptoms of an entire planet’s ecosystem pushed towards extremes with atmospheric carbon at concentrations the Earth has not experienced in 400 million years. To place one’s faith in the same systems and ideologies which created the problems we face is nothing less than insanity. To change an effect, one must identify the cause, replacing those actions with one’s aimed towards a better outcome.
Acknowledging the reality we face is not intended to stoke fear. To confront these challenges, we must recognize the manner in which fear is the fundamental emotion influencing the actions generating the scarcity, greed, war, and all forms of violence humans bring into the world causing the many crises we face. Notice the manner in which the threat of the world’s largest and most technically advanced military is the most significant justification for the Dollar being the global reserve currency. The state has a monopoly on violence so it can coerce the continuation of its existence, even in its panopticon, self-disciplining manner through the belief systems conditioned within us. As it is only through confronting our fear that we truly discover who we are on an individual level, the same is true on a global level. With grace and forgiveness, we may let go of the heavy attachments and debts of our past, embracing out of necessity the always present opportunity to make all things new through the will of our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Knowing that acting in resonance with the truth that all is one, tempering always towards the great way, we become part of a process which bears a better world.
The state of insecurity is created by acting in fear. Cause and effect is the simplest definition of the universal law known as karma, a fundamental relationship governing the physical world which can not be denied without also dismissing entirely the Art of Science as a means of understanding. Every force has it’s equal, opposite counterforce, every effect has it’s cause. Actions aligned with the belief in scarcity, measuring one’s self-worth by material accumulation, and holding up vices as virtues are a few of the many toxic aspects of the modern secular belief system motivating behavior performed in reaction while seeing the world and its inhabitants as an alien other competing for limited resources. Acknowledging this attempt at approximating truth (as it is doubtful truth can ever be achieved through the distortions of language and subjective perception) it is clear that in order to escape this fate and create a livable future, our individual and collective actions must change. In recognizing the driving force of thoughts and feelings behind our actions, it is imperative that we must change our ideology and tune into our emotions in order to ensure right action. Doing so is extremely simple in principle, though often challenging in practice; we must align our thoughts and emotions with the one undeniable Truth–that all is one–and act in resonance with Love, allowing our heart to guide our minds and hands. Measuring every action against this truth absolves all fear and makes the love-resonant action clear. Only the mind, not the heart, can lie.
Experiencing the karmic consequences of our entire species’ actions, we exist in a world destined to become more difficult to live in unless significant action is taken to change in response to the catalyst of these mounting crises. The challenges we face represent karmic Justice working to restore balance to a deranged world, the state of equilibrium the universe always Tempers towards. Paralyzed by Damocles’ swords everywhere we look, we must recognize the ways our conscious and unconscious choices have led us to the present predicament, learn the lesson that only altering our actions may change our fate. The time has come to apply the great lesson of Love to all experience.
The Earth and all its denizens’ cry for action must be answered. The insanity of ignorance and inaction with regard to the existential issue of the climate crisis–the most cataclysmic issue among the unspeakable amounts of human rights crises and ongoing genocides conveniently ignored for the sake of guilt-free greed–can no longer be tolerated as acceptable . Action motivated by our intuitive wisdom and guided by clear ideas must be taken. The only way out is through confronting these challenges, the catalysts urging on our transformation. Acting in alignment with positive outcomes will necessarily be acting differently than we have done so in the past and continue to do so in the present to contribute to our current circumstances.
A new ideology, Chillinism, is offered here and henceforth to counter hegemonic Liberalism and its inevitably catastrophic conclusion. Chillinism is an invitation to slow down and take time to enjoy this precious experience we are currently set to destroy. To reconnect with nature and our highest selves, separating the finer substances of life from the dross this deceptive world has in abundance. To recognize that all our doing, all our production–how the economy is measured according to Liberalism–requires carbon-emitting actions contributing to the crisis we face, we must recognize the dire call to slow down and address the challenges ahead with the respect it deserves. Moreover, a higher perspective on human experience is required to understand our predicament and clarify the solutions dialectically intrinsic within every problem. Chillinism holds in its heart the singular Truth at the center of all existence–that all is One, and all is imbued with eternal spirit having a material experience, Creator experiencing itself. Through this Truth, in witnessing the highest aspects at the core of all beings and things, the world shall be made anew in the light of love.
Recognizing the potential of our will, we can reclaim our sovereignty. Our inherent power, the source of all ideas and inspiration, is our ability to create via the trivium of Thought-Emotion-Action as individuated aspects of the One Infinite Creator. Every crisis we face, the so-called evils of the world, must be acknowledged as being of human origin. War, poverty, abuse, addiction, and mass violence are not natural aspects of life, they are atrocities motivated by the fear-driven choice to commit actions of greed, succumbing to the temptations of power in service-to-self. Our actions, motivated by distorted ideas of the world, created the consequences we face. To change the world, we must change ourselves, and that begins with our thoughts, our agreed upon knowledge of what Truly is.
As such, in our present civilization, human beings have been tricked into being human doings. Our life force is sacrificed in service to the maintenance of this hierarchical system designed to keep us ignorant and too busy to engage in the inner work necessary to explore and encounter the true nature of self as an aspect of the One Infinite Creator. Paradoxically, always a sign of encountering something significant, while daunting to imagine implementing, Chillinism will be the easy way out. Our present lives are full of stress, scarcity, uncertainty, danger, poverty, crime, pollution, and many other negative effects of our past and present actions. Fearful greed has made us into wanting creatures, despite desire being intrinsically unsatisfiable due to the distinct and irreconcilable difference between the imagined and real. Prioritizing our rebirth individually and collectively, our lives will be shaped around leisure and self-exploration.
Our world is already abundant with all we need. There already exists enough shelter and food for all humans. Only our unwillingness to share in adherence to present Liberal hegemony stands in the way. Similarly, the knowledge of what needs to be done and tools to accomplish significant reduction in emissions already exist and simply need to be applied and implemented. An important initial collective intention must be to drastically reduce our carbon emissions. This can be achieved faster than we currently think possible by abandoning the ideas and beliefs which have created the problem we face. Eliminating all excess production and the profit motive, we shall seek to produce goods and services of the highest quality, sharing tools and resources within our communities to most efficiently use our abundant yet inherently limited resources on Earth. Improving our democracy worldwide through re-organizing society from the grassroots out, all shall have the opportunity to partake, share, and enact our dreams and visions for a better world.
Every solution exists within the problem. Confronting the challenges we face rquires identifying the one thing split in dialectic contradiction and how it must be tempered by shifting our perspective and therefore responding actions. Every crisis presenting an opportunity to re-evaluate past actions to learn from mistakes and make the heart-headed choice to act to bring about the desired outcome. Bringing the next golden age into the world simply awaits our choosing, a choice already made by our highest selves. Exercising our Will, a new world can be made real, just as every work of art, invention, and arbitrary set of rules affecting the organization of society has previously been transmuted from the imaginary realm of ideas to the material reality we experience.
From now to eternity, the beings of Earth have the choice of freedom from the bondage of fate; the choice of Chillinism. Addressing the climate crisis requires nothing short of a transcendent transformation every individual has the freedom to choose in any given moment: to recognize their true selves as an aspect of the One, the source of all that is, and witness the entirety of existence as kindred companion. In dedicating ourselves to serving the other-recognized-as-self, we shall remake the world as a place of shared abundance capable of nurturing every soul to attain the highest learning from their Earth experience. Slowing down our lives with a renewed priority of self-actualization, the Chillinist world will be one of patient progress, ample rest to enable efficient work, labor that bears fruit as we eliminate all bullshit jobs, the rehabilitation of dilapidated homes and the restoration of nature, emphasis of quality over quantity in manufacturing and consumption, witnessing and encouraging the expression of the unique gifts every individual has to share, everyone playing the roles they were born to play, a renewed expectation of human rights guaranteeing the basic needs for survival for all, a transformation of the state into an institution organizing the building and maintenance of the infrastructure supporting our modern needs of healthcare, energy, information, transportation, and education rather than a co-opted apparatus of Capital’s servants; all of which will be organized to carry out a metamorphic project to confront the climate crisis by remaking the world to bring our human economy in balance with the ecology our lives depend on. The world shall know peace in shared abundance.
For too long, the spiritual truth of our existence has been suppressed, neglected, rejected or considered separate from mental and bodily affairs. The climate crisis requires nothing short of a holistic understanding of the World and our existential purpose. Answering the call ringing in my own heart that I have absolute faith resonates within yours, I anticipate nothing short of ecstatic inspiration as we awaken to the dormant power within and choose to lovingly confront rather than fear enemies, problems, and the climate crisis. Solutions are presented only to those who seek them out, ask the proper questions, and begin to take action in investigating or experimenting with solutions. Our actions are driven by our conscious and unconscious beliefs and ideas. Considering our old ideas– rooted in the split-subjectivity of denying God or believing ourselves separate from It–led us to this present moment of constant war and pervasive worry, it is imperative your heart remains open to a new ideology and new way of living. Following the current path and expecting different results implies an inability to learn, a willing ignorance. You must first free yourself from the bondage of arbitrary laws that are likely presently causing you significant stress and certainly contributing to the cynical inaction and absence of any positive vision of the future from our leaders.
Faith is all the wise fool needs to take that seemingly dangerous leap.
Unwaveringly committed to ushering in the next golden age upon Earth, a new ideology, dream and project intended to transcend the hellish Empire maintaining our karmic bondage is forever planted in the head and hearts of humanity. Chillinism presents an exit from this dystopic fate towards a future of more rest and less work, caring and being cared for, of community and sharing, festival and celebration, creative expression, life-long lower-stakes learning, loving and never worrying, all as we turn our collective energy to ensuring all living beings basic needs are met as we work to make a carbon-neutral economy. Herein the S.E.E.D.S. (Spiritual Engagement Evolving Democratic Society) collection, is my attempt to begin to describe and outline the foundation for how this will be achieved through the Declaration of a Sovereign Public, which shall guarantee our Inalienable Rights, which outline the intended goals and ideals against which our Ecological Economy among Equals shall aim for and be measured by, achieved democratically and equitably according to the Organizing Principals, so we may face the challenges of our age recognizing the Catalytic Opportunities they represent, empowered by acting with True Faith in Unity Consciousness to ensure an increasingly beautiful world.
Here I present to the world the philosophy, vision, and justification for a Chillinist world; an alternative path away from the hell we are creating and towards a peaceful, prosperous, abundant, loving, nurturing, and caring World supporting the conscious evolution of all life. A choice available to all conscious co-creators from here on out. To commit to nothing less than the project of restoring balance to the Earth’s systems while establishing the foundation for the next Golden Age.
