Reason Nr 1
Something must change
so everything can remain the same.
The Declaration of Independence. A people’s transformation of its political system and government from despotism to a democratic tool designed to secure individuals their rights to Life, Liberty and their pursuit of Happiness. The Declaration of Independence is perhaps history’s most beautiful and compelling revision of purpose for a nation’s government. It has inspired several countries to follow suit when it came time to write or revise their constitutions, among them Norway. But no one in North America in 1776 or Norway in 1814 noticed “another ring was made”. A ring that was made long, long ago.
Business – “The Ring of Power”
Despite the change, despotism remains intact. In Norway, too, we’ll soon be able to fly the flag at half-mast after 250 years of living under history’s most celebrated change of packaging enshrouding the world’s uninterrupted skewed course. We’ve come to Reason Nr. 1 for mutiny.
The surprise
Reason Nr. 1 starts off like a run-of-the-mill surprise on the same level as the surprises presented by The First Unified Theory.– The world isn’t made from matter, but from ideas created by consciousness and intelligence. – The level of joy we can experience is very much higher than anything we can imagine. – The methods to attain this newly-discovered level of joy are the very opposite to the methods we’ve built our lives on until now.
It changes from an ordinary to an uncommon surprise because of a newly-discovered law: The Law of spin-off ideas.
Law of spin-off ideas’ reflection of the master idea.
All ideas and feelings and all reasoning and logic we develop, whether related to religion, science, social context or our personal lives, are spin-off ideas and true reflections of the master idea we practice.
It lays there, doesn’t seem more astonishing than an idea-based world in general. But let’s imagine we take the old material theory, stuff it into this law to see what it can tell us – and wait.
Suddenly, it’s over. The second before, the Establishment sat with its coffee cups, arranging its daily arrangements with the usual press coverage and background hum of the little people’s hopes and angst. A second later they still had coffee in their cups, unaware that from this moment, the floor would no longer support them.
