Die Biologen Timothy J. Roper und Larissa Conradt von der Universität Sussex in Cornwall, England, führten eine Studie über die Entscheidungsfindung in Tierherden durch.

Alphahirsche haben lediglich die Wahl hinsichtlich ihrer sexuellen Vorliebe.
Die Herde trifft eine demokratische Mehrheitsentscheidung (51%), wo sie jeweils grasen geht.
Das demokratische Bewusstsein ist im Gehirn der Geschöpfe eingebaut.
Sind Raubtiere in der Nähe, muss die Gruppenentscheidung überragend mehrheitlich ausfallen, ehe die Herde entsprechend handelt.

Erst wenn zwei Drittel (66%) der Herdetiere auf ein bestimmtes Wasserloch hinweisen, zieht die Herde dorthin.

Dieses Wahlmuster ist im gesamten biologischen Spektrum anzutreffen, von den Insekten bis zu den Orangutans. Alle Herdenmitglieder entscheiden mit anhand ihres äußerlich sichtbaren Verhaltens.

Was unterscheidet den Kapitalismus vom Kommunismus?
Im Kommunismus werden die Betriebe zuerst verstaatlicht und dann ruiniert.
Im Kapitalismus werden sie erst ruiniert und dann verstaatlicht.

Zitate (engl.) allgemein

The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart. Mohandas Karamchand Mahatma Gandhi [LoC 760] (1869-1948) Indian Hindu sage, spiritual activist leader, humanitarian, lawyer, nonviolent freedom fighter

We, the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow men who pervert the Constitution. Abraham Lincoln [LoC 565] (1809-1865) assassinated 16th US President (1861-1865), abolisher of slavery

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. Winston Churchill [LoC 510, influence LoC 500] (1874-1965) British prime minister of the United Kingdom during the 2nd World War (1940-1945) and (1951-1955)

Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart;
and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.
Winston Churchill [LoC 510, influence LoC 500] (1874-1965) British prime minister of the United Kingdom during the 2nd World War (1940-1945) and (1951-1955)

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver.
1. Hit the point once.
2. Then come back and hit it again.
3. Then hit it a third time – a tremendous whack.

Winston Churchill [LoC 510, influence LoC 500] (1874-1965) British prime minister of the United Kingdom during the 2nd World War (1940-1945) and (1951-1955)

Not only were many of the founders of the United States government Masons, but they received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe which helped them to establish this country for a peculiar and particular purpose known only to the initiated few. Manly Palmer Hall [LoC 485] (1901-1990) Canadian-born author, mystic, occultist, 33rd degree Freemason, The Secret Teachings of All Ages.

XC-XCI, free Internet version, Philosophical Research Society, revised edition, June 1978

The real political struggle is not between left and right, but between people power vs. money power. Right now the U.S. Congress shows every sign of having been bought by those Big Business Conservatives and so is this presidency. [G.W. Bush, 2002] The U.S. looks actually more like a plutocracy rather than a democracy. It is run by, for, and with big money. Interview with Paul H. Ray, Ph.D. paul-ray, US American professor of anthropology and sociology, University of Michigan, founding partner of Integral Partnerships, consultant of Cultural Creatives, How 50 Million People Are Changing U.S. Business, Society, and Politics, US magazine Paraview, Alexander M. Dake, 2002

I like to refer to Laszlo’s General Evolution Theory. Initially stable systems will experience increasingly stronger up-and-down fluctuations, until the whole system falls in a hole. Will the system then go into a dead spiral or will it rebound to a new higher level? Just like with personal crises, the old identity needs to be stripped away before moving to the next stage. In our [US] political system that means that the old-line politicians need to be thrown out of office and that many old institutions need to fall apart. I am not very optimistic that in the short run we will be able to handle the crises very well. Still, crises are part of the process of stripping away the elements of our dysfunctional modernist culture. In the long run, I am optimistic that humanity will find its way to the higher level of a wisdom culture. Interview with Paul H. Ray, Ph.D. paul-ray, US American professor of anthropology and sociology, University of Michigan, founding partner of Integral Partnerships, consultant of Cultural Creatives, How 50 Million People Are Changing U.S. Business, Society, and Politics, US magazine Paraview, Alexander M. Dake, 2002

For his criticism of the "malefactors of great wealth" T. Roosevelt was deemed "insane".

Roosevelt mused on "the right kind of a civilization".

It [American civilization] must not be, it shall not be, the civilization of a mere plutocracy, a banking-house, Wall-Street-syndicate civilization; nor yet can there be submission to class hatred, to rancor, brutality, and mob violence, for that would mean the end of all civilization. Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) 26th US president (1901-1909), Dedication Ceremonies of the New State Capitol Building, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 4.

Note of caution:

Burke immediately opposed the French Revolution, warning his countrymen against the dangerous abstractions of the French.

The restraints on men, as well as their liberties, are to be reckoned among their rights. But as the liberties and the restrictions vary with times and circumstances and admit to infinite modifications, they cannot be settled upon any abstract rule; and nothing is so foolish as to discuss them upon that principle. Edmund Burke [LoC 410] (1729-1797) Irish British statesman, political theorist, philosopher, orator, author, Reflections on the Revolution in France, 1790

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Thomas Paine (1737-1809) British and US American Enlightenment philosopher, author, pamphleteer, inventor, intellectual, radical, revolutionary, Founding Father of the United States, 19. December 1776

Example of:

Dignitarian politics: Rankism defeated, exemplified on Don Imus' fall

A dignitarian society which actually sees to it that everyone experiences equal dignity is a different society than a democratic society. But it's within reach. And I think it is democracy's next natural evolutionary step to build a dignitarian society that goes beyond a democratic society and actually disallows rankism in all of society.

No wonder corporations became legal persons in the 1800s with the right to make contracts while living breathing female human beings couldn't make contracts without their husband's written permission.

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

Regardless what branch of inquiry one starts from – philosophy, political theory, theology – all avenues of investigation eventually converge at a common meeting point: the quest for an organized understanding of the nature of pure consciousness. […] If we can understand even one simple thing in depth, we will have greatly expanded our capacity for comprehending the nature of the universe and life itself. David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. (1927-2012) US American physician, psychiatrist, consciousness researcher, teacher of the path of enlightenment, author, Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, Foreword, S. 25, Veritas Publishing, 1st edition, 1995

Politics is based on rhetoric. [...] It [Politics] has got nothing to do with truth. [...] You don't get elected by telling the truth. You get elected by swaying the audience. That worked in ancient Rome, it works in Washington DC right now. [...] The basic rule of politics has been to persuade. Politics is based on the persuasiveness of the speaker, the persuasiveness of the message and the vulnerability of the audience. Audio interview with David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. (1927-2012) US American physician, psychiatrist, consciousness researcher, teacher of the path of enlightenment, author, What IS Consciousness Anyway?, teleseminar 148, part 2 of 2 (Q&A), presented by Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), Shiftinaction.com, host James O'Dea, minute 27:34+, 56:18 minutes duration, 11.

Zitate (engl.) von Father Charlie Moore

Two opposed dreams: exemplified by America
Right-brained Equality dream	*Left-brained Empire[] dream**
Unified dream of America	Mercantile dream of the United States
Introduced by Jean Jacques Rousseau, FF Thomas Jefferson, FF Benjamin Franklin, Quakers[**], Iroquois Indians	FF, monarchist, and agent of European banks Alexander Hamilton prepared for Wall Street:¹ Greed is a virtue. Murder in pursuit of greed is not a crime. The end justifies the means. FF and monarchist John Adams figured that the democratic republic will devolve in an aristocracy.
The architect of the US Constitution James Madison balanced the possible tyranny by monarchy or the masses. Madison helped create a political system that favored neither liberals nor conservatives.²
Matriotism sings America the Beautiful. (American matriotic song on freedom, equality, and brother-/sisterhood)	Patriotism sings The Star-Spangled Banner. (National anthem of the United States)
Buddhism: Greed is vice. Buddha said: "Greed is the mother and father of all vices."	Christianity: Sex is vice. Christian religion considers sex as original sin. Sex introduces to ecstasy, the mother of all virtue.
Democracy (government by the people) is basically heterarchical.	Christianity is hierarchical. (God→Jesus→Pope→Cardinal→Bishop→priest→congregation)
Allegiance is a bond between equals.	Obedience is a bond between a master and a slave.
Democracy is based on allegiance.	Christianity is based on obedience.
America is based on allegiance.	United States i.e fear-centered empires/dictatorships are based on obedience.
Matriotism is about allegiance.	Patriotism is about obedience.
Masters consider people as their equals even when they don't see it that way.	Dictators consider people as their underlings.

The Pope hates democracy with an absolute passion. There has only one Pope in the history of the Catholic Church who liked democracy – and that was Pope John XXIII. All the other Popes have vigorously fought against every democratic movement in Europe. Why? Because democracy is contrary to the structure of the Roman Empire which is based on conformity and greed. Christianity was found to defend the emperor of Rome. It's all a subtle job of defending greed at the way to be. Audio presentation by Father Charles L.

Unanimous government decisions provided by grandmother councils

Women [daughters of the moons] are powerful […] because of the moons. The evidence is a direct track between the menstrua and right-brain function. […]
The Goddess has three faces, three stages: maiden ☯ matron and ☯ crone. And the dividing lines are all about the menstrua. Maiden to puberty, matron to the end of menstruation, crone afterwards.
The holiest women are the crones. Having a croning ceremony is very important to the safety of this world. A ceremony in which women are introduced to the power that has matured in them through a lifetime and asked to join together to make decisions for the nation.
Get rid of all these men arguing, and majority rules, and tyranny of majority. Forget that. The only way true government can make a decision is unanimously. And unaniminity is the function of right brain joining at which postmenstrual women are particularly adept.
The other thing about postpostmentstrual women is that they become androhermaphrogenous in which they balance the male and female functions in themselves, almost automatically. When the ladies get past the menstruation time it gets to be normative. And it is in that androhermaphrogenous state of right-brain activity that the truth of a good government forever rests. Governments are there to make decisions that effect the world. I believe that only a grandmother council should be trusted with that, only a grandmother council.

Social justice represented and advanced by a few

Social justice [and any true impulse in society] is never advanced initially by the majority. It is advanced by a few people, usually considered outrageous radicals by the status quo of their time, who simply have a better idea, a more sustainable idea. And that is how evolution works even anthropologically. When a system, when a species, is moving in a direction that is not sustainable for its own survival a mutation occurs. The mutation never represents the majority, it represents a few members of the group whose behavior is more adapted to the survival of the species. And then things go that way. And there is social evolution as well. And that is how world civilization moves forward.

[It] isn't about ignoring politics; it's about creating a new political conversation, one where conscience takes precedence over profit and humanitarian values trump economic ones. I know a lot of people think that's extremely naïve, but what I think is naïve is thinking we can continue to treat our fellow human beings and the planet on which we live in such a violent way as we do now, and expect the species to survive for another hundred years. Interview with Marianne Williamson marianne.com (*1952) US American spiritual activist, visionary, lecturer, author, Consciousness and Politics, presented by Huffington Post, Marianne Schnall, 9. November 2012

People and children over money and economy

We need to replace economic values as our ordering principle, with humanitarian values as our ordering principle. What we're doing now is unsustainable, and certainly undemocratic. If you have, as we have in the United States today, a situation where financial leverage determines political leverage, then only those with money get to wield political power. That automatically pushes aside the needs of children, because children have no financial leverage. That's why the women of the world must be their voice. Interview with Marianne Williamson marianne.com (*1952) US American spiritual activist, visionary, lecturer, author, Consciousness and Politics, presented by Huffington Post, Marianne Schnall, 9.

Women initiating a politics of consience

We [women] are 51% of the population of America. We are not a special interest group. […] The trajectory for American women is from success to significance. […] We need more than the audacity of hope. We need the audacity to wield power. I think that's the next step. Video presentation by Marianne Williamson marianne.com (*1952) US American spiritual activist, visionary, lecturer, author, Politics from the Inside Out: New Consciousness. New Politics, sponsored by All Saints Church, pastor and host Ed Bacon, Pasadena, California, Sunday, 14. October 2012, YouTube film, minute 26:59, 44:05 minutes duration, posted 15. October 2012

Women in politics:

Claiming the audacity of hope, activism and wielding power

When it comes to politics, we [women] have an internal glass ceiling. We stand as good a chance as a man to win a political race, but women don't want to run at the same rate as men do. [...] [W]e [highly educated women] want passionately to lobby and persuade those in power, but for whatever reason, we're not so comfortable with the idea of becoming those in power. And at a certain point, it's not enough to have the audacity of hope, or even the audacity of activism. We need the audacity to wield power. […]
We need a sustained movement in the direction of a fundamental awakening of the heart – in politics as well as in everything else. […]
Women's voices should be front and center in protecting both our young and our habitat. That's the way it is in any species that survives. Interview with Marianne Williamson marianne.com (*1952) US American spiritual activist, visionary, lecturer, author, Consciousness and Politics, presented by Huffington Post, Marianne Schnall, 9.

Return of the sacred feminine (Goddess)

[T]he rising feminine doesn't mean much unless she's rising up through actual people. The goddess is asking for more than crystals and cut velvet scarves. She's asking for some fierceness and courage, too. Interview with Marianne Williamson marianne.com (*1952) US American spiritual activist, visionary, lecturer, author, Consciousness and Politics, presented by Huffington Post, Marianne Schnall, 9. November 2012

Gandhi said that politics should be sacred. He wasn't saying it should be religious, but that we should engage it with the fullness of our humanity. Martin Luther King said that ... the ultimate goal was the establishment of the beloved community. Look at these two men, both of whom were undeniably the brightest political lights of the 20th century, and you see that they spoke in a context much more philosophical than what we now define as politics. […] And they were not called fuzzy or lightweight thinkers, or New Age nutcases. None of us should apologize for saying, just as Gandhi did, that humanity is not in its right mind. Interview with Marianne Williamson marianne.com (*1952) US American spiritual activist, visionary, lecturer, author, Consciousness and Politics, presented by Huffington Post, Marianne Schnall, 9. November 2012

Timothy Speed, Gründer der Human Rights School, Neue Demokratie, Neue Politik, Der Moderationsstaat. Ein neues politisches System der integralen Politik
"Die vier Herrschertypen und die Nachteile des Herrschafts-Prinzips"
1. Der Weise Alte – Macht aus natürlicher Ordnung von Stämmen (stabile Macht)
2. Der Rebell – Macht aus der Revolution (zweckgebundene Macht)
3. Der Diktator – Macht aus Gewaltmonopol heraus (willkürliche Macht)
4. Der Demokrat – Macht durch Wahl (fragmentierte Macht)
Alle vier erzeugen Gemeinschaften, die auf den fünf Phasen der Dissoziation beruhen:
Spaltung → Abhängigkeit → Wertung → Distanz → Gleichschaltung.
Abhilfe schafft der vom Autor erläuterte Moderationsstaat.
