These are the early days, the infancy of (real) Democracy, (real) equality wherein we the people are learning how to cooperate in directing our words and deeds to create solutions that are best for all.

The participation of each human being in forming this world has always been real-time. What has been lagging behind is a comprehensive understanding of how we participate in what we are all creating.

This is now changing, trending towards real-time feed-back (via information/communications technology of the Internet) providing us with an increasingly detailed map of the relationship lines of the cause and effect of our direct and indirect participation within and as the world system.

In essence, what we are now being presented with is one Hell of an opportunity to in seeing the design/schematics (the interconnectedness of the current world system), understand how it functions and then redesign it to one that is supportive for all, the goal being equality within what is best for all.

The path to understanding and living (real) Democracy, (real) Equality will be as easy or as difficult as we individually and collectively make it. We are the world within and as the relationships we accept and allow; therefore, to change the world is to change ourselves, stand up and participate so as to become the change that we are becoming.

In other words, each one of us is an equal-life component as a determinate of the manifested collective/whole of humanity. Therefore, if we disagree with the way the world-system currently works (which I for one do), all we require to-do to change the way it works is to change ourselves as the system. Specifically, in changing the way we ourselves relate to all parts of the system, we as the system change the system to our new collective specifications.

As a principled standing, I vote we create a system based on the principles of oneness and equality within what is best for all. However, one vote does not a collective decision make, and this is one of the really cool functions of what we are becoming aware of and so co-creating, our collective destiny. Be it an eternal living hell for all or an equal opportunity for all to live dignified lives, we are all equally responsible for determining and so creating the new world.

Democracy as the collective expression of Equality requires participation, and this is exactly what I have been seeing in its infancy on the world stage, people collectively standing and participating in directing world events. Our degree of progress is reflected in the changes taking place throughout the world that are clearly aligned to the directive participation or collective will of the people.

For example, recall the events leading up to the United States’ impending attack on Syria, and the buildup of the collective directive of millions of Netizens united in the stand of “do not attack Syria.” Some would say that the US backed off due to Vladimir Putin and his military standing, alone. To this, I say that one man is not responsible nor able to determine the outcome of all of mankind; however he or she is able to lead and/or direct the power of the people, either through mass participation or mass abdication of people power. In that instance, the people-power or participatory stand of the masses of “Do not attack Syria!” was a collective directive, an example of the democratic “people power,” participatory Democracy in its infancy, channeled to and through Vladimir Putin for him to carry out that directive, which he did.

How do I figure all this? Of course it's just guesses, theories of dots and their relationships to outcomes. In the future, perhaps soon on the path to Direct Democracy, we will no longer need to guess, because we'll all have equal access to all information.

To change the system of hierarchical power and control of Money to a system of Democracy/Equality, we the people require we stand up and do it, become what we are becoming, self directed, caring for all.

What's the Correlation between Real Democracy and the Distribution of Money?

Debating what constitutes ‘real’ democracy is like debating what constitutes real air or real water. Like the air that we breathe and the water that we drink what really matters is the "natural" quality of each and every one of the components of life that together equate to the quality of the nature of all life of planet earth.  

Likewise, when it comes to a system of democracy of the people, what really matters is the quality of the democracy which I would define as the degree by which it provides each member with an equal opportunity to expressly participate in determining the quality of the collective. 

Just as the quality of water is determined by its components in relation to one another, the optimal state being relationships of equality, water from an ecosystem, so too is the quality of democracy determined by its constituents in relation to one another, the optimal state being relationships of equality or democracy within an equality system. As such, the degree of democracy we achieve in designing new systems for humanity is dependent upon and defined by the degree of equality designed into and provided for in the workings of the  system, the optimal democracy being one wherein all I’s are standing in equality in relation to one another.  

Accordingly, in consideration the current world system of money, I suggest that in designing a new system of democracy, we base it on a system of quantifiable equality so that we’re all on the same page when it comes to assessing the degree of real democracy that we are currently participating in and/or striving to create. 

Real democracy is a collective expression of real equality, the ‘equality’ being each member’s equal opportunity to expressly participate in the decision making processes that determine the collective expression. Consequently, within the current world system, the degree or quality of any democracy that we participate in or care to create is equivalent to the degree at which the resources are equally distributed as represented in the distribution of money – that which govern one’s preoccupation with survival, the quantifiable factor that limits one’s ability to fully participate.  

In short, as real democracy is one and the same as real equality, each step we walk in the direction of equalizing the distribution resources – as represented in the distribution of money – will also be a ‘quantifiable’ step in the direction of attaining real democracy. 

Real Authority within the World System of Humanity

The problem of false authority figures being promoted as having power and control over the world system of humanity is really just a misunderstanding (by the people) as to the source of power and the nature of real authority. 

The power that we the people perceive to be overly vested in an elite minority is no more real than their authority over the majority. In reality, the power and authority that the money masters supposedly hold over us is  but an illusion rooted in our fear for survival, that hinders us from establishing commonsensical relations with one another and all else that is physically here.  

The reason the power and authority of the minority looks so massive to the masses is because of the massive power void left by the failure of the majority to collectively stand as the real authority. 

Competition for resources (such as food and water) that we require to survive)  is an outflow of human's fear of not surviving.  From this fear of not having enough resources comes the desire to have more than a fair share of that which earth unconditionally gives to  us all. The winners and losers of the game of competition to survive are represented in the hierarchy of money as economic divisions within society. Herein the question arises: as earth unconditionally provides all the resources necessary to survive, how is it that so much of the world's population is still locked into slavery, forced to pay their masters for the right to survive? 

The problem as well as the solution is within our system of money. A paper bill with six zeros on it releases no more energy when burned than does a one-dollar bill. Yet, in exchange for that piece of paper with six zeros printed on it, a farmer will walk away from the land his family has tilled for generations. His illusion lies in the hope that we'll all continue buy into the same illusion of the power of money, just long enough for him to pass his paper on to someone else as trade something of real value.  Money has no real power over anyone; yet as long as we collectively give money the power over us, we will continue to live in fear as slaves to the money masters. In the game of Capitalism, which player would you rather be, one who labors for the money, or one who prints the money, a money master?

Democracy of the people by the people for the people within the current world system is also but an illusion of real authority, a void without common sense, wherein we the people perceive ourselves to be responsible citizens when we cast our votes for new authorities and then expect them to take all the responsibility for us. These elected officials at which we point our fingers are false authority figures of false democracies of a world system based not on equality, but on the hierarchy of money. 

Wherein democracies do not accept the authority of all the people to participate in all the decision making processes, the obvious solution is for the people to stand together to create a new system based on the real democratic authority of the majority standing in equality - each one with equal opportunity to participate in any of the decision making processes. 

Imagine what would happen to the illusion of elite power and control if the majority were to (from the starting point of the principle of equality) stand together and use the Internet as a network of real democracy. Open Source Information is not a problem, it's part of the solution.

Whether it is written in awareness or written by mistake, each one of us equally as one, writes in the book of life, inscribed by the choices we make in relation to one another. When we accept and allow inequality in any part of the world system, we essentially give up our ability to become the authority and change the story. However, in seeing, realizing and understanding our individual and collective responsibilities as equal-and-one participating components of humanity, we gift to ourselves the opportunity to once again become authors in awareness to collectively write humanity's new course. 

Real authority arises within and as the starting point of one standing in the principle of oneness and equality in self-honest consideration what is best for all. In other words, when one self-honestly directs self in relation to all from the starting point goal of achieving outcomes that are best for all, he or she creates self as a point of real authority. This starting point is one that we are all able to stand as, so to take our proper roles as real authorities in determining (for ourselves and for all) the best course for all of humanity. 

Understanding the current form of Democracy for the purpose of Redefining and Redesigning it

Ever wonder why we the people of societies have not been able to eliminate government corruption, and why politicians have been unable to stop unscrupulous無良 activities of business men and women eager急于 to profit even if it means importing meat laced with Ractopamine or poisoning a nation's food and water supplies? 

To put It simply, it is because our various systems of government, especially those of modern-day democracies have all been designed to be subordinate下屬 to and thus defined by the hierarchy等级制度 of money. Accordingly, all systems such as the educational system, judicial system and so on within the world system are there to serve the people's money, but not the people. Why? Because this is the way the system is designed. All systems within (and as) the world system of humanity are based on the hierarchy of money wherein the value of everything can be defined in money, thus putting a price on of life and allowing anyone with enough money to get away with cutting down the rain forests, poisoning the oceans and even mass murder. 

Take for example representative democracy. What is this centuries old design of public administration still doing in the age of information communications technology? Certainly, in the days of horse travel and communications by printed-news and word of mouth, this form of limited people's participation (wherein a minority make the decisions for the majority) probably made some sense simply because it wasn't technology feasible可行的 to include all the people's voices in the decision making processes. 

Nowadays however, we have the communications technology and the infrastructure in the form of the Internet wherein we are able to instantaneously瞬間 communicate with one another while openly sharing all information so as to enable all of the people to expressly participate in a form of real democracy, open source and direct.

The reason democracies have never functioned the way people always hoped for is because our democracies have never been but in name, democracies of, by and for the people. They have always been democracies of the money by the money for the money. By accepting and allowing Money to become the dominant統治 system within humanity, we as humanity ended up also accepting and allowing money to override and therefore redefine the design of all other systems within the world-system of money; hence the inability to eliminate corruption in any society without concurrently同時 addressing and correcting wealth inequality within the system.

Why hasn't a new form of democracy yet materialized物化? 
Establishing a foundation of real (participatory) democracy of the people by the people for the people is a process of people taking responsibility by investigating how the world functions, realizing where the problems lie, designing solutions, and then standing as those solutions so to change the system of democracy by stepping up and becoming it. This is what (real) democracy of the people by the people for the people is all about, all the people taking responsibility for all the things.

Unfortunately, this process of people taking responsibility is being hindered by massive amounts of programming/brainwashing of the masses in efforts to keep the people from realizing our potential, that which we begin to accomplish when we stand united in the principle of equality rather than divided along the lines of liberal豁达 and conservative保守 ruling parties. 

Who is behind the brainwashing of society, bankrolling負責籌集 the efforts to keep people dumbed-down believing that our current forms of democracy are representative of the majority when in reality they are not? Ask yourself who benefits the most by keeping elitist-traditions精英主义传统 alive. The elite of course, those with most of the world's money, those who are currently in power and control. Eighty-five (85) of the richest people in the world now have more money than 3.5 billion of the poorest people in the world; where's the democracy/equality in that?

A minority (called government) in the service of those with the most money write the laws, tell us what we can eat, drink, think, buy, sell, plant, smoke, the places we may go and not go, and finally the penalties刑罰 should we disobey their laws and get caught. That we of so-called democratic代議制民主 societies do not even have a say in our national budgets國家預算, how much money goes to education, the education curriculum課程, minimum wadges, taxation, war, etc., is testament遺書 to the reality that today's so-called democracy is little more than an elaborate-hoax精心設計的騙局 wherein we the people have come to believe that in voting every now and then, we are making the decisions, when in reality the only votes being counted are those of the currencies貨幣 of money. It's called democracy of the people, but really it's just another form of mass manipulation操作, governmental systems in the service of money designed to keep a very small minority in positions of power control.

Although, we have excelled rapidly in information technology, we seem to have stumbled when it comes to using common-sense reasoning abilities to determine the difference between democracy of the people and autocracy專制 of the money. Why else would societies still be allowing our most important decisions to be decided upon by small groups of individuals who (other than the fact that they are also human) do not represent the majority of society? 

Somewhere along the lines of education-indoctrination灌輸 and mass-media大眾媒體 brainwashing, we as children to adulthood came to believe that government representatives represented the majority of the people when in reality, political representation (call it "a favor" if you will) goes to those who have the money and are willing to pay for the favors.

Look beyond the illusion幻觉 (beyond the veils幕 of government institutions機構 of corporate interests公司權益) to see the reality of the hierarchy等級 of the world system, the hierarchy of money that currently defines humanity. All systems within and as the world system of money: politics, education, judicial司法 and so on are currently within and subordinate下屬 to the world system of money, the almighty Dollar, Euro, Yuan, and so on, leaving us with the reality that democracy in coexistence共存 with the current world system of inequality has never been but an illusion of people's equal ability to participate in the political process. 

We as humanity have accepted and allowed the power of money to prevail战胜 over the equality of life; thereby, limiting each one's ability to expressly participate (within humanity) to the sum of money-power that he or she currently possesses or controls. This is why it's called the politics of money, and why nothing in this world gets done without sufficient sums of money. 

Consequently, even if a president or legislative representative does attempt to represent the majority of the people's interests ahead of the interests of those with the most money, he or she is likely to find it very difficult to get re-elected due to the fact that such politicians require large sums of money to finance their election-campaigns競選 in order to get into power and stay there. Keep this in mind the next time you decide to point a finger and blame politicians.

In understanding what is currently here as democracy of the money by the money for the money, we the people are able to unite in the principle of equality to design a new form of democracy, one that supports all. The opportunity is for us to utilize information communications technology of the Internet to equally enable all members of society to participate in the process of making all of society's decisions. How do we do this? As always, the journey for each one begins with the first step.

The Battle Cry of World War III

As more people begin to stand up in the realization that real change is a doing that comes not from the external world-system but from within through a process of self change standing as the principle of equality in relationship to all, we who are in the process of standing as the principle of equality are making a difference, changing the world for the betterment of all.

Through the Internet, we the people in networks of relationships are uniting in words and deeds to take responsibility for ourselves and for all of this world. One by one, each of us that stand united in the principle of equality effectively turn-off a percentage of the flow of power to the elite; thus deconstructing the hierarchical pyramid of elitism one pillar at a time simply by standing as the  directive principle and taking our power back. This is the power that we the people have historically sacrificed within the design of elitism, allowing a few to harness and drain the power of our mind/physical bodies as well by following the way of competition in fear of one another, thus leaving us divided and powerless.

What was deemed by many to be the elites' most advanced weapon of mass enslavement is now turning out to be one of our most useful tools for unveiling the secrets that have birthed the fear. 

Humanity is entering into extreme times, and how we direct ourselves in mind and body will determine and or define not only our futures but the course of mankind. The choice as has always been is continue our race to the end or to simply stop the competition, stand up and live the principle of equality defined as it has been for thousands of years. Give unto others as you would have them give unto you, and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Here are the keys to ending all wars; here are the keys to equality.

Although the battle has just begun and the war with ourselves is far from over, we who have stood and directed our words in common-sense consideration of what is best for all have shown the world but a glimpse of what we all-together are able to accomplish when we let go of our self-defeating weapons of blame so to cooperate in directing our will to the cause of equality, a world of stability wherein no man, woman or child need fear anymore for their survival because they were not born into the privileged bloodlines of the hierarchy of money.

In looking at the world at large, it may seem as though World War III is inevitable, but I say it is not. Nothing that was ever-written, physically manifested until the words became deeds lived and done; thus as we still breathe so too is there opportunity to change the course of humanity, stop and reverse the cause of war, the race to have more that has led to the experience of inequality. It's not economy stupid; it's inequality.

World War III need not be, but if there be a battle cry, let it be the sound of unity, one wherein we who would fight instead unite standing hand in hand to end all strife simply by living the principle of equality to thus reverse a world in reverse.

Changing Self Changes the World

Life (in all forms) is defined and/or determined by and through one's relationships. These relationships from the small of each of us to the big of the world-system (of humanity) define and/or determine the nature of each of us as ones of humanity. Therefore, to change the nature of humanity so to stop and reverse the decline and degradation of earth and human kind, each one/person requires to change the nature of self – as the small that make up the big – to thus change the nature of humanity.

Although this may seem an impossibly massive project, when we take it down to the smallest point of each one's responsibility – the point wherein one is able to change, it becomes simply a matter of enough people uniting in the commitment to change for the betterment of all, and then doing so step-by-step until the united mass of change overrides the current flow of deterioration and transforms it to improvement.

Self-change for the betterment of all occurs when one realizes that relationship points in which he or she is currently participating within are not beneficial or best for all, and therefore changes his or her relationship participation within these points to reflect the consideration of what is best for all.

By determining and living self-change, one determines the nature of self, who one is in relation to all while also re-defining all's relations in relation to self, thus changing all from the point of self as all in relation to self. 

The opportunity here is for each one to walk the perfect journey, the path of self-perfection, being and becoming that which is best for all, that which is best for self, changing the nature of self to change the nature of humanity to live the principles of oneness and equality within what is best for all.

Changing the Nature of our Nations

We, the I's of communities, cities, states and nations are the I's that define and / or determine through our relationships the nature of ourselves, the nature of our nations, the nature of humankind.

Be we the people of apathy and ignorance or we the people integrity standing as pillars of equality within and as what is best for all, we as the I's of societies, the ones of humanity weave the web of relationship lines, the designs that define and/or determine the nature of ourselves, the nature of our nations, the nature of humanity.

In understanding how each one of us participates through our actions or inaction (notice the two words are basically identical), we enable ourselves to take charge of not only the directions of our individual lives but also the directions of our nations and the direction of humankind.

Historically, there have always been movements in our world but they have not always considered the rest of the world in the sense that, not all relationships outflows were taken into account; therefore, some might have benefited while others suffered. For example, the quest for ever cheaper products, has resulted in lost jobs and lower wages.

Key to understanding how to change the workings of our nations is to understand that: 1) Everything is interconnected; 2) As we are the people of our nations, the only way we're going to change the workings of these nations is to change the workings of their constituent components, ourselves.

Calling on the 1% to change their behavior to make the world a better place is like calling on guns and grenades to stop the wars without considering wherein "I as one in relation to all" have accepted the existence of war and through my actions or inactions am allowing it to continue.

When looking at the roles one's actions or inactions cause, it's necessary to be self-honest and not participate in the game of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Investigate all things, especially where your money is going. You may be surprised to find that the same corporations that produce your favorite brands of food substitute also profit from the miseries of war - wherein similar products are also used to poison the water supplies or defoliate the trees. From these investigations, consider “who I am” in relation to where my money is going/supporting. Be self-honest and simply change these relationships. Or don't change them; you decide, just please do not deny/our your abilities to make a difference.

When we point our fingers in blame, demanding that others take action and reform, we deny our roles as the living integrals that make up the interconnected relationships of cause and effect; thereby abdicating – to the extent that we deny – our ability to stand as authorities and take responsibility for determining and implementing change to effect solutions.

• Who makes the bombs? We the people do!
• Who fight the wars? We the people do!
• Who comprise and compromise our nations? We the people do!
• Who enforce the laws? We the people do!
• Who collect the Taxes? We the people do!
• Who collect the debts? We the people do!
• Who is humanity? We the people are, 100%!
• How do we change the world? 
• We change what we will accept and allow in our relationships!

The small percentage of the population that we call the elite do not enforce upon the masses the income gap, the distribution of wealth, the distribution of resources,  minimum wages, taxes, laws, etc. We ourselves do! We the people are the only ones able to change the state of inequality or our nations, the nations of humanity.

Solutions such as Living Income Guarantee are ready to be implemented. The catch is that, the one percent is not going to do it; not because they agree or disagree with equality but because they are not able to do for the masses that which each one requires to do for one's self, change the nature of one's relationships to the nature of equality within what is best for all.

To become an integral part of the big solution, look inside of self; for it is here within and as the small of each-one's relationships that we define and/or determine the nature of ourselves which in turn defines and/or determines the nature of the bigger relationships – all the way on up to the nature of humanity.

Our Votes as living/breathing constituents of nations of peoples of humanity are not yes, no, for and against pieces of paper that we slip into boxes. Our 'living votes' as the determinants of the workings of our communities, cities, states and nations are the who we are (in thought, word and deed) as components of the relationships in and as the small of ourselves in connection to one-another/all, that form the relationship components of the world system, the nature of humanity, the collective reflection of the natures of ourselves.

Each One-I of humanity has a responsibility as the ability to determine who each is in relation to all. Walk to live and become a pillar of responsibility/integrity and participate in determining the nature of self, the nature of humanity and the future of humankind. Abdicate this responsibility, and . . .

Life is defined by and in relationships. As such, the best that one is able to be really is of (relationship) equality within and as what is best for all. Our responsibilities to ourselves, one-another and all, are to become the best that we are able to be and become - that which is in all ways best for all. Giving and doing unto one another as one would in-turn be given and have done unto is the gift that we give ourselves by giving it to one another.
