The End of Politics

The universe is not a hierarchy. It is a jungle-wild fractal swirliarchy. - Omni

 

(From the Book of Unitics, From Politics to Unitics, The End of Politics:)

Tired of politics? Play the Unitics Game!

When I love you, and myself, and all of us, when I take all of us into consideration when I do something, and when you do this as well, and enough others do too, we can decide about community things in cooperation, without disputation, because we all care about each one of us. Politics withers away.

The process is personal as well as political, from the task at hand, the success of the feminist revolution, all the way on into the cocreation of a new collaborative love based society. This will be the stage in which society has managed to transcend politics, and has graduated to deciding public policy together, by means of Unitics.

 

Sounds good in theory, but how does unitics work in real life? How does it look? 

Perhaps it starts with one's own outlook. 

Appreciating all of the gifts we have received from others. 

Perhaps a realization that we absolutely need each other. 

Maybe an assumption that the other person means well and what they are doing makes sense to them.

 Just walking around intending general goodwill.

 Noticing when we are "othering" someone.

It is simply a matter of loving intention, leading to good faith communication, leading to trusting one another to have the other person's highest good paramount, and everyone really taking this to heart.

 

We can do this well already in small groups, such as the couple, or in some family relationships, in true friendships, perhaps some creative or monastic groups, but the larger the group, the trickier it can be. Fortunately, the information revolution makes communication easy, so we can know more about, and connect with, people who seem different from us. 

When we get to know others, we will feel more able to widen that kinship and love relationship circle to all people, all beings, and all life. This is the common ground of unitics. As we disarm our psychic barriers we will remember this is also the most natural and ancient way to live together.

 

When a critical mass of people routinely make each and every decision, from the ordinary everyday ones, to the most profound life changing ones, based on their most sincere awareness of what is in the highest good of all life everywhere forever, we can awaken to a society that is ready to govern itself with Unitics.

 

Until then, we shall be saddled with politics, the contending for power between perceived separate interests, and thus the need to win the feminist revolution. Politics is hectic, painful and pathetic, but it will be with us until the end of the age. Even now, though, unitics consciousness is emerging and eventually will replace politics. So why not start now, because as soon as you want to, you can join in our evolution.

And remember this is a fun game. Everyone is already a winner, and all must have prizes! Because until everyone is self actualized, we are still in process toward even a really good glimpse of our collective or synergistic potential. I wonder what a world of considerate, happy, harmonious, creative, self actualized people would be like.

 

"I often say jokingly that a truly selfish person must be altruistic!

 You have to take care of others, of their well-being, by helping them and serving them, to have even more friends and make more smiles blossom. The result? When you yourself need help, you will find all you need! On the other hand, if you neglect others’ happiness, you will be the loser in the long run."
