Outside the Box

No Boundaries

Just as when tribes of fifty or so humans fought each other for resources and territory, growing civilisations tend to place increasing demands upon their neighbours until disputes turn into wars over boundaries and resources, with each particular group identified by their own particular image of G-d.  Similarly, disputes within a society often lead to division into factions, which may be forced to migrate to new lands in order to survive.   But with an ever growing human population, new lands became increasingly hard to find. 

Spreading the word of the beliefs of one’s society through contact and trade with other civilisations led to a generally growing awareness amongst the wise men of each society of the common values and the differences between societies, but also of the very real dangers of a refusal to co-exist, and of the immense difficulties in getting a population to adapt to support multiple cultures living in peace and harmony. 

We Free Kings

Many attempts were made to bring civilisations together under one religion or another, so that the people of each society could live and work together in peace and harmony, and with the leaders and the wisest ones working together for the good of all; but without a common world model and state of consciousness, fractures and divisions soon appeared, followed by infighting and, ultimately, war… 

Prophets came and sowed the way, but often their work fell on stony ground, and was only widely recognised long after they had shed this mortal coil.  As written and spoken language developed further; and as man’s understanding of the world and our place upon it increased and began to combine and interact between cultures, building a new bridge between societies, a time approached at which a prophet who was also the wisest man and King of Kings could appear.

A combination of recorded words, related documents, testimonials, natural processes and novel technologies allowed the essential aspects of the King of King’s consciousness to be carefully rebuilt within a chosen developing child around the turn of the millennium - with full access to all that has been learned over the millennia that have passed.  He too has truly been born again. 

Yet he already recognised that cognitive monocultures, like their physical counterparts, are inherently fragile and unhealthy, and that technology can be both our saviour – allowing a collective consciousness which can bring us together and ultimately enrich and restore all society, and our demon – through which man can destroy himself with the false belief that man-made technology can solve any problem with which he is faced or causes.


 

Free Wise Men

Mankind depends upon wise men to guide them and lead them safely into the future.  Yet as each man is mortal, the mantle of responsibility must be continually renewed and handed on to the next generation, and so young shoulders must be tended and nurtured over many years in order to take on this vital role, or society will break down.  With one leader, the group of wise men work together to decide the best way in which to mould and develop the consciousness of the general population to work in tandem and to drive the society forward with new ideas, technology, art, science and understanding of the world, allowing more control over that society’s future – at least in the short term. 

Another important role of the wise men is to identify the wisest ones in the next generation, and free them to use their minds and bodies together in order to push the envelope of human knowledge and compassion ever further, whilst securing (or at least attempting to secure) the future for their peoples.  A range of buildings and tools are then offered and developed to support these wise men in their work, and the intention has also been for the wisest one to rule the civilisation as a King in a line of Kings. 

Yet even with a team of wise men guiding him or her and the best of education and training, it soon became clear that the descendants of the wisest ones may not necessarily go on to fulfil their destiny.  Apart from the variation implicit in nature, there was something about the privileged life of wealth which tended to fail to fully develop the abilities of the man.  As a result, a division was gradually forged between the leader of the society - who guided man’s body and work, and the wisest one - who guided man’s mind and intellectual growth.
