DEFINITIONS<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The ultimate goal is to create a common understanding, <\/em><\/h2>\n

to intelligently reach consensus on the foundational aspects of <\/em><\/h2>\n

living and managing our lives in a civilized way.<\/em><\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

IF Words matter… then how we define and use them is of utmost importance.\u00a0 In order to provide clarity to our discussions, we must have a common understanding of the words we use.\u00a0 Below is my contribution to creating a common terms collection of contrasting words that define our most basic interactions and communications.\u00a0 Hopefully, such contrast will help create clarity.<\/p>\n

I have broken these down into two categories… General and Governmental.\u00a0 To my mind, it is essential to understand how we personally function before we try and understand how we socially function.<\/p>\n

GENERAL DEFINITIONS<\/h1>\n

Hope vs Fear<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is the age old state of mind that drives us at our foundational core\u2026 mostly subconsciously. We humans are energetic beings that direct energy in one of two ways\u2026 either toward Hope\/Advancement (as in learning and healing) or Fear\/Protection. Unless a dire situation is occurring – in which case we default to Fear\/Protection\u2026 we are prone to Hope\/Advancement.\u00a0 The human brain is \u201cwired\u201d this way.<\/p>\n

Human interaction has an effect on this process.\u00a0 A consequence of such experiences is interactive emotional patterning.\u00a0 The human brain is constantly processing scenarios and comparing filed ones with the one it\u2019s currently encountering.\u00a0 Any \u201ctriggers\u201d divert our attention and may cause a shift to Fear\/Protection.\u00a0 Triggers can be anything tied to a past threatening situation, whether perceived or actual\u2026 this is critical to understand.<\/p>\n

Why is this important?\u00a0 Because our current social situation is an increasing population density which translates into a vast increase of information.\u00a0 This increasing information further translates into a vast increase in experiential triggers -which again, can be either perceived or actual-\u00a0 which can trigger a constant state of low grade fear\u2026 not enough to paralyze or run\u2026 but just enough to keep the \u201cfight or flight\u201d response center engaged\u2026 which keeps the learning and healing response (Hope\/Advancement) idle.<\/p>\n

When in this energetic state, we are not building positive experiences or healing our body, which become the precursors to unbalance and dis-ease.\u00a0 Thankfully, conscious awareness can help us realize and change this pattern, which will dramatically change our outlook and state of health\u2026 choices\u2026 and consequences\u2026 Change Your View, Change Your Life…\u00a0 just like the logo says. \u00a0(See\u00a0 Faith or Fear<\/a><\/span>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inspiration vs Motivation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Understanding this difference will help identify our energetic sourcing\u2026 and is simply done by being aware of where you derive your energy\u2026. From inside \u2013 Inspiration, or outside \u2013 Motivation.\u00a0 Inspiration is typically more reliable, with the caveat that it is not driven by your fight or flight responses.\u00a0 Inspiration can be ongoing\u2026 if we choose that, while motivation being external and environment specific, needs stimulation, which is generally not ongoing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Internal vs External<\/strong><\/h2>\n

An embellishment on the above.\u00a0 Understanding this is vital to understanding your autonomy and ability to function in harmony with your spiritual energy.\u00a0 Another way of identifying these traits is by looking at peoples\u2019 actions\u2026 the adage \u201cactions speaks louder than words\u201d applies here\u2026 and it typically looks like Givers and Takers. Internally driven people get their energy from their soul\/spirit\u2026 the ultimate or universal energy, what many religions refer to as the God energy.\u00a0 This energy is always clean and reliable, and is generally only available in learning or Hope\/Advancement mode.\u00a0 Internally driven people look like Givers.<\/p>\n

Conversely, externally driven people get their energy from others\u2026 the term ‘energy vampires’ comes to mind.\u00a0 Externally driven people look like Takers.\u00a0 Takers are agitators\u2026 they love conflict, because conflict creates unbalance\u2026 and unbalance creates a defensive response in you.\u00a0 Takers feed on that unbalance and defensive energetic shift\u2026 it\u2019s a way of deriving a sense of control, and potential dominance over you.<\/p>\n

This, however, is different from Givers and Receivers… that is the healthy version of this essential interactive relationship… because both are sourcing and responding from their internal or spiritual energy source.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Manage vs Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another subtle but important nuance of Inspiration vs Motivation.\u00a0 This nuance defines how we use our derived energy.\u00a0 Typically management flows from Inspiration (internal), and control from Motivation (external).\u00a0 There is no hard and fast rule about this, as these are basically emotionally stimulated actions or reactions… another way of distinguishing the root of the energy source.\u00a0 Humans portray energy through emotional responses… and what we are defining here is the force of that response.<\/p>\n

To Manage ourselves denotes a more gentle approach, one emanating from our internal Spiritual energetic source.\u00a0 Conversely, to Control ourselves has a more overt and direct energetic tone… a more egoic sourced energy, which has externally motivated overtones.\u00a0 Generally, the Manage energy, being internally driven, is more wholly sourced and creates more lasting results.\u00a0 Conversely, the Control energy, being externally driven, is subject to emotion vacillation… which generally does not produce lasting results.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Consensus<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Definition:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A general agreement about something : an idea or opinion that is shared by all the people in a group.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

1 \u00a0 \u00a0a\u00a0:\u00a0 general agreement\u00a0:\u00a0\u00a0unanimity\u00a0<the\u00a0consensus\u00a0of their opinion, based on reports \u2026
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0b\u00a0:\u00a0 the judgment arrived at by most of those concerned\u00a0<the\u00a0consensus\u00a0was to go ahead><\/em><\/p>\n

2: \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0group\u00a0solidarity\u00a0in sentiment and belief<\/em><\/p>\n

Consensus is another version of management.\u00a0 Consensus building is much harder than control… which is the alternative. \u00a0To build consensus an atmosphere of trust is required.\u00a0 Also a desire to find common ground and build on it is essential. \u00a0Consensus building creates a sense of community and ownership.<\/p>\n

Control is essentially intellectual force… bending people’s viewpoints to fit. Control causes alienation and animosity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Generational Perspective<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A generation is a class of people born in the same time proximity, and in recent history, is considered to be a 30 year time span. \u00a0Each generation has unique experiences, as a group, and develop certain likes, dislikes and defining characteristics. There are currently three predominant generations… Babyboomers, Generation X, and Generation Y or Millennial’s.\u00a0 One of my primary perspectives is this generational lens. \u00a0By looking at each of the 11 generations (Strauss & Howe)<\/em> that have \u00a0inhabited (are inhabiting) this country since 1787, we can gain a very different point of view… by seeing what happens to each group… and what is passed on. This right of passage is the experiential basis that molded them and ultimately molds us today.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Define Environment<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Definition from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary\u2026
\nENVIRONMENT
\nThe circumstances, objects, or conditions by which one is surrounded.
\nThe complex of physical, chemical, and biotic factors (as climate, soil, and living things) that act upon an organism or an ecological community and ultimately determine its form and survival.
\nThe aggregate of social and cultural conditions that influence the life of an individual or community.<\/em><\/p>\n

This definition shows that our environment is everything around us\u2026 past or present… real or imagined. \u00a0Another way I describe that is\u2026 it is our Story.\u00a0 Our Story is a way to describe the accumulation of our experiences, both imagined and real. That Story is the basis of our intellectual processes and responses.<\/p>\n

I take this a step further, and look at each generation’s story;\u00a0the accumulation of what was most important and what was passed down to their progeny. \u00a0By looking at America’s evolution this way, it becomes clear how and when major deviations and incursions occurred that caused damage to our republican form of government and structure that was originally formed… and ultimately, how it became unworkable, and how it devolved into this present unrecognizable and struggling bureaucratic quagmire.\u200b<\/p>\n

What’s important to connect here, is The Story and the Environment… \u00a0we are so immersed in the current story that it now looks like our environment… in\u00a0other words;\u00a0all encompassing, unchangeable… which is NOT true.<\/p>\n

The Story and our Environment are separate… our Story can certainly help create our environment, or we can choose to create a different environment… it is our choice… constantly.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

GOVERNMENTAL DEFINITIONS<\/h1>\n

Defining Sovereign Rights<\/h2>\n

Sovereign Rights and how they\u00a0apply\u00a0to the united States of America<\/strong>
\nDefinition from the Webster 1828 Dictionary\u2026
\nSOVEREIGN,\u00a0noun\u00a0suv’eran.
\n1.\u00a0A supreme lord or ruler; one who possesses the highest authority without control. Some earthly princes, kings and emperors are sovereigns in their dominions.
\n2.\u00a0A supreme magistrate; a king.
\n3. A gold coin of England, value 20s or $4.44<\/em><\/p>\n

This term is critical to understand, both in meaning and context. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The context as applied to US history begins with the Treaty of Paris 1783. \u00a0That treaty clearly defines the legal status of the people of the United States of America as the owners of, and supreme authority of the country. \u00a0From this position of supreme authority, the people first delegated some of their authority to State governments, then subordinate to that, delegated more general authority to a Federal government. The original intention of the Federal government was to promote security and a unified national visibility, provide for the common good, and insure peace among the several States.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 See Products Page<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Treaty of Paris, 1783<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Republic vs Democracy<\/b><\/h2>\n

A democracy is direct rule with the power invested in the group, with majority rights. A democracy is exclusive and eventually alienates a large portion of the society.<\/p>\n

A republic is indirect rule, with the power invested in the individual and actualized through representatives, where the rights of everyone are considered through the process of consensus. \u00a0A republic in inclusive and considers everyone\u2019s point of view.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

America’s Identity Crisis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

America has had an identity crisis for several decades, due mostly to the unspoken desires of the political parties… they are in a quandary, and can’t really solve their problem. \u00a0You see, they want you to believe that you live in a democracy, because that neatly divides up the country and keeps people at odds with each other; and since they cannot actually take away the founding documents, they have to go along with the republic stuff… all while giving the executive – whom the parties groom for the position – the ability to run the country essentially as a monarch. (see below).<\/p>\n

It looks to me like\u00a0America is a non-functioning Constitutional Republic… masquerading as a Democracy… while actually operating as an oligarchy.<\/strong> \u00a0(Oligarchy Definition:\u00a0A form of government in which the supreme power is placed in a few hands; a species of aristocracy.)<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Republic as a Co-op \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 \"\"
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A Republic emulates a Co-op.\u00a0 A Co-op is a member owned organization, where members participate in various benefits, such as better selection, pricing, and if the Co-op is profitable the profits.<\/p>\n

Imagine….\u00a0<\/strong>that you found out about a really great food Co-op, that would give you all of these benefits. \u00a0You eagerly research it and join, excited that you found a way to save money and get really good quality food. \u00a0After you join, you are told that you have to choose between two major groups or parties that essentially control the Co-op… the vegans and the carnivores… and they are very hostile to each other.\u00a0 You become confused…. you researched the Co-op and\u00a0the by-laws… and they said nothing about these groups… and the last thing\u00a0you want is to take sides in rival factions.\u00a0 But if you want to get the benefits of this Co-op, you have to choose a party… even though they are not in an official capacity of ownership or management of the Co-op. \u00a0If you had any sense, you would find another Co-op… or start your own.<\/p>\n

That analogy realistically describes the current version of the political party controlled United States… the only problem is that there is no other choice… and good luck creating another United States of America. \u00a0And the good news is that you don’t have to… you just have to follow the founders advice and take it back from the political parties, who have no legal claim on the country.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Checks & Balances<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In creating the federal management structure, the founders dealt with many criticisms during the Constitutional convention about power; how much… placed where. \u00a0They were leery because of their current experience of King George’s iron handed ruling policies. The system they settled on, through consensus, divided the power between three completely separate branches, each with their own unique responsibilities…. and they warned about allowing changes that would encroach on another’s power. \u00a0(See Washington’s Farewell Address<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Sadly their warnings were not heeded.\u00a0 Over several generations, a slow and steady rise in political party power and influence occurred.\u00a0 This was the driving force that created radical changes in our original constitutional structure and completely undid the founders intent and protections.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Federal vs National Government<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By definition, the founders version of federal was an association of states acting in consort. \u00a0They conceived a Congress made up of ‘We the People’s’ representatives (House of Representatives) and States representatives (Senate)… giving the people of various states with different populations the most representative voice in their affairs. \u00a0Many acting as one…. bottom up.<\/p>\n

National is when the power is consolidated in essentially one… top down. Because of the encroachment noted above (in Checks & Balances), through military war power and amendment, the entire landscape of the original government changed…\u00a0 so that today we essentially have a National Government with vast and over-reaching UN-Constitutional powers.\u00a0 (See Stop Calling It A Federal Government<\/span>.<\/a>)<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Statesman vs Politician\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

“A\u00a0statesman\u00a0is a\u00a0politician\u00a0who\u00a0places himself\u00a0at the\u00a0service\u00a0of the\u00a0nation.
\nA\u00a0politician\u00a0is a\u00a0statesman\u00a0who\u00a0places\u00a0the\u00a0nation\u00a0at his\u00a0service.”<\/p>\n

A quote from French Prime Minister Georges Pompidou<\/em><\/p>\n

A close look at many of the currently entrenched national officeholders demonstrates this quote. Many are their to ‘curry favor’\u00a0 and personally benefit and profit from their tenure.\u00a0 There is little service to ‘We the People” or our country… instead mostly service to themselves.\u00a0 Many leave their government positions very wealthy, accruing vast amounts of money and power during their tenures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

President vs Commander-in-Chief<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This distinction only became important during the second Civil War (1861-1865) when President Lincoln, in an act of desperation, enhanced the breadth and scope of the existing practice of Executive Orders, thereby giving himself the ability to instantly create binding edicts… essentially becoming a monarch.<\/p>\n

After the war, a legal means of maintaining the Executive Order was necessary, since the political parties saw this as the ultimate means to control the country. \u00a0They designated the Commander-in-Chief title as their authority and\u00a0 ultimately ensconced it in Emergency Powers legislation.\u00a0 Their newly created position gave this Republic destroying device “legal” standing… essentially setting up an unconstitutional government, that by definition does not legally follow the original Constitutional authority.<\/p>\n

Executive Orders are numerical, so each one written is cataloged.\u00a0 This numbering started with the new version.\u00a0 Commander-in-Chief Lincoln issued Executive Order #1 sending 175,000 troops to invade the South\u2026 Commander-in-Chief Trump is starting his Monarchy with Executive Order #13,765\u2026 ponder that for a moment\u2026 13,765 executive orders since 1862.\u00a0 Executive Orders can be arbitrary, and they are always in direct defiance of the very Constitution that these elected officers swore an oath to uphold!\u00a0 (See Executive Orders<\/span>)<\/a><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/p>\n

Perhaps now, the light will come on as to why seemingly unconstitutional laws exist…
\nthey are in another “legal” system… all courtesy of the two major political parties. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

So…. what do you think of President Washington’s warnings about political parties now?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
