Ever since I started studying alchemy and hermeticism I’ve been a phenomenologist. As everyone should be.
What is a phenomenologist? Someone who studies phenomena in an attempts to understand the true nature of reality. All other philosophical endeavors are small children in its shadow. There is only one truth, which is unspeakable at its core; only able to be observed for what it is and what it does. It is nameless. For it requires no name.
It’s name is the blowing wind and the running stream. It’s name is the visceral feelings of love and fear. It’s name is strange lights in the sky, and a dream so real it rocks you to the core upon waking, and never goes away completely. There is only one true thing.
As the alchemists and hermeticist explain; to know God, you must study his creation. For millennia we have attempted and failed miserably to create a perennial ontology. We have failed to understand what this place is.
What is an ontology? It is a framework for understanding the world. You may have heard me discuss the “map versus the territory.” The ontology is the map. The phenomenology is the territory. That is, the territory is what IS while the map is what we think it is (or how we try to understand it).
An ontology is a ruler for which we measure. But an inch is not an inch, and a tree is not a tree. For if a tree was truly a tree, that is, if the ontological tree was the phenomenological tree, then we would have to incorporate the soil, and the worms and the mycelium and the ether of light which shines upon it and beckons the tree forth through the vectors of it’s emanations. Which would mean that the tree is also the sun, and the moon, and the rising and falling of them.
A phenomenologist knows that the tree never begins or ends. It knows that all phenomenon are fundamentally intertwined and always have been. As an alchemist, they can see the invisible tension between all things which urge and emerge into every moment, catapulted from the cosmic momentum uncoiling outward through “The Great Process.” Which we mistakenly call time. And we, at the edges of this miracle are the finger tips of God outstretched and pressing against the fabric of this place. Like a child in womb ready to be born. We are, nature look back at itself. We are the all seeing eye of providence.
Where do your petty philosophies fit into that?
Your Trump.
Your Jesus Christ?
Your liberal?
Your conservative?
Your atheism?
Your churches?
Your politics?
It’s all bullshit.
Your Krivdic rituals, and ruminations, and mythologies and group think, and hopes and dreams and fears and hates and suspicions and calculations are all scattered to the wind of reason and truth.
These houses built on sand only withstand the mighty torrent of the real for the levees you have placed in your mind in an attempts to resist the flood that is coming. Always coming. Always coming. Always crashing. Crashing into you. You feel it at the edges, always. But you refuse to let it take you away, for fear of losing yourself, a false self tied up with false ontologies and epistemologies.
What is an epistemology? A theory of knowledge. Those philosophies which are derived from ontological theorizing. The conclusions to your frail work of understanding through the eyes of some convex lens or spinning fluid in a beaker or old dusty book mistranslated and sterilized for easy reading.
Who are you? Where are you?
Why do we bury the strange?
Why do governments cover up the stories of 9 foot hairy giants in flying saucers, or swamp men who repeatedly attacked cars in the 1960s? Or the amoeba people? Or the fairies, or gnomes or Magonians?
Because it would break the world. It would break your mind. And you might find out what this place really is.
You might find out it’s all bullshit.
You might find out your dreaming.
You might find the ALL mind.
You might find out your whole life was a lie.
You might need to sit down and breath
and scream and cry
and feel like you might die
in that harrowing moment
where you realize;
it’s all bullshit,
and yet survive,
and rise.

-The Cosmic Man
For the past fifty years it appears as if most of the sincere political activists have attempted to educate the population about certain egregious matters in the hopes that the properly enlightened citizen will either support a particular candidate for public office, purchase educational materials to enlighten others, or accomplish something that will prevent the destruction of our sacred posterity.
This line of hopeful reasoning has failed, and it must be abandoned because it does not work.
The study of human nature and psychology demonstrates that every person has a story and situation that exceeds everyone else’s. And every person considers themselves to be just, honorable and virtuous.
And this aspect of human nature must be leveraged towards the common good.
Fortunately, the technology is available to do this.
By using the technology, we declare ourselves sovereign.
The time to use the technology is now.
It is a known fact that the members of the US Congress and the State Legislatures do not read, evaluate or debate any of the particulars of the Legislation they vote on. They cannot read or debate the issues because the Bills approach 2000 pages each. And there are one hundred new bills / acts of Congress for them to vote on every day they are in session. They vote the way the party bosses tell them to vote. The news media my comment on one or two pieces of Congressional business per month, and the commentary will be adding to the confusion.
During the 1992 Presidential campaign, Ross Perot called attention to this insanity with a diplomatic observation that "a general lack of accountability among elected officials and those in the bureaucracy was the one specific reason that the people in America suffered".
Mr. Perot then suggested that the best and perhaps only way to make government officials accountable was to include the citizens in the decision-making process - every hour, every day.
He went on to note that this can easily be done with computers and called the proposed mechanism
THE ELECTRONIC TOWNHALL.
With this computer program every interested citizen can indicate whether or not they agree or disagree with every line item of every law, policy and program on the books or that was being advanced. It can be used at every level of government and in every jurisdiction.
To prevent chaos the basic law, our Constitution and Bill of Rights would be exempt from review.
Mr. Perot speculated that the Founding Fathers would probably have done the same had the technology been available. He referred to it as the Fourth Branch of government; The Citizens Branch / The Electronic Townhall.
If the government is truly of the people, by the people and for the people then what better way is there to perfect every section of the various laws and policies that do effect each and every one of us every single day?
It would not be difficult to expect at least 500 thousand qualified citizens, per congressional district, to read four pages of law or proposed law and get their Ratify or Annual input every day the congress is in session. The results could be aggregated, made known and we would all be better off.
The program would even allow a citizen to go back and change their vote as they matured. And when a super majority is reached the law/proposed law is either ratified or annulled by immediate recognition of the enforcement mechanisms.
With tens of millions of laws and tens of thousands of taxes there is plenty of work to be done.
According to Mr. Perot, this, the harnessed experience and the combined intelligence of hundreds of thousands or even millions of citizens focused like a laser light on the real issues, will, as surely as night follows the day, perfect every law in our country and eventually it will right every wrong.
Mr. Perot publicly announced his intention to give the fourth branch of government to the people in America if he was elected President.
But this attempt to empower our humanity was so far removed from the business-as-usual-two-party-system that the talking heads and trolls yelled out that Mr. Perot was trying to destroy our Constitution, our government and our way of life.
The ELECTONIC TOWNHALL was denounced as unworkable.
How would the poor participate?
How would fraud be prevented?
What about those who do not know how to use a computer?
In a final act of desperation, the control freaks claimed that letting the average citizen to pass judgment on the individual pieces of public law would lead to chaos and pandemonium.
The media was so intensely negative towards the ELECTRONIC TOWNHALL that Mr. Perot was forced to stop talking about it, but he never withdrew it from his platform.
But we all know the truth: only the concerned will bother to participate.
It’s now been thirty-two years since the proposal.
No other person of national reputation or significant influence has picked up the idea. BUT the big two political parties regularly stage "townhall meetings" where they talk of "reform" and "returning power to the people". They do this to link themselves to the empowering part of the idea without adding to its manifestation.
And still we suffer in the hopeless loop of: "candidates with a sense of morality and respect for the Constitution who understand true brotherhood, justice and democracy and who will do the right thing for us each and every time, trust me".
While we cannot make light of sincere individuals who get into public office, we must acknowledge the fact that regardless of who has been elected to public office the problems in our government get more complicated and our people continue to suffer.
Could we possibly admit that our national situation, now being made global, is far too complicated for the President and the 535 elected members of the legislature to manage in our best interests?
You, the person reading this know some of the things we need.
Your friends, our fellow countrymen have their solutions too.
The only way to organize the workable ideas is to create a device that will enable all of us to simultaneously contribute our best thinking and most benevolent experience towards solving our most complicated problems.
That device is THE ELECTRONIC TOWNHALL and the place to begin is with our existing laws.
According to Ross Perot, this is the only way forward.
Recently, Elon Musk announced that his artificial intelligence program will run on X Premium.
Everyone should get on board that train too.
