FOR THE TRIUMPH OF LIBERTY

[As a prelude to his HFR tomorrow, Yasuhiko wrote this introductory note for your consideration —JW]

A war is being waged between the destructive forces of Tyranny and the creative forces of Liberty.

This war is as much political as psychological. A tyrannical program has been enrooted and infixed into the governance and the constitution of human consciousness, depriving it of its innate longing for liberty, for freedom, and for evolution.

For millennia, the powerful forces of tyranny have triumphed over the feeble forces of liberty, politically and psychologically.

An entire new way must be created in the human mind and consciousness that will bring about a victory of liberty over tyranny. Nothing that has been done in the past will accomplish this victory, for the forces of tyranny know the human nature so well that every possible way of which we can think from the past is known and hence forestalled.

We, the People of and for Liberty, must understand that there is a pathway to liberty for humanity, but it is a creative pathway, not any kind of “resistance”. As the adage goes, “What you resist, persists.” Carl G. Jung goes even further: “What you resist not only persists, but will grow in size.”

What is required, instead of resistance, is a conceptual leap, not in its entirety, but in its invocation and innovation of the novel framework that initiates the evolutionary vector of Liberty. It is a clarion call to the consciousness of those with the commitment to Liberty and the strength of character to stand up, alone, within their own consciousness, and decide, unequivocally, that the tyranny shall no longer be tolerated and ever allowed to continue.

Tyranny exists on the basis of a systemic lie. It survives because people are made to believe that lie to be true. The systemic lie of tyranny is that the power that controls and determines your life and your worth exists outside of you. This external power, the external authority, is a misguided belief in a false god psychologically, and the State politically.

Once you believe in this lie, you have only two existential choices: Either you be an agent of tyranny, i.e., of a false god or “State”, such as a politician or bureaucrat, under various designations and titles, on different levels of social status inside an artificial hierarchy; or you be a victim of tyranny, i.e., a psychologically enslaved member of the masses, suffering from the collective Stockholm Syndrome and serving the purpose of the powers-that-be as useful idiots or fools.

The truth is that you are cosmically responsible for your life, and that your true self-worth can never be authentically determined by the external authority or other people or society, but only by yourself. The truth is that the full recognition, conscious acceptance, and willful exercise of self-responsibility comprise the necessary investment that yields the ever-growing wealth of individuality, sovereignty, freedom, and liberty.

The polarity of liberty versus tyranny, with deep philosophical significance, corresponds to the polarities of truth (honesty and integrity) versus falsehood (mendacity and hypocrisy), morality versus immorality, and rationality versus irrationality. The pursuit for liberty is thus concomitant with the pursuit of truth, morality, and rationality.

The creative pathway to Liberty is developed by self-responsible sovereign individuals working alone in communication and partnership with other self-responsible sovereign individuals, in alignment beyond agreement, without forming any kind of herd with a herd mentality, hive mind, or groupthink.

The society consisting of sovereign individuals that synergetically emerges and develops is (what I call) the Omnicentric Sovereign Integral characterized by dynamically evolving individual responsibility and freedom, and politically constitutional rights and liberty.

The triumph of liberty over tyranny in politics will come when a critical mass of psychologically free sovereign individuals come together to responsibly express their internal freedom, demand external liberty, and act with courage, valor, and fortitude to construct an Omnicentric Sovereign Integral.
