F.C. 2015 , January , the 15th (Corrected & modified 2015 May the 6th)

( Please forgive my broken English )

What is going on in the country of all illusions ? Namely : France .

To understand how things go in France today , the best seems to me to go back in time to the end of World War II . Then began a period called “FR.: Les 30 glorieuses” , which means : +/- 30 years of prosperity , peace and easiness . The religions , mostly Christians , had lost any last piece of authority left to them . But more important was that the legendary idea “money for everybody” started to become rational , maybe possible , even maybe true . And for part it was ! But this euphoria had side effects . Until then most people only knew misery and fear , so when they started to discover what a decent life could bring , and mean , in terms of psychology , they also slowly started to think that … money , in the end , is everything you need . James Redfield in his book “The Celestine Prophecy” (FR.: La Prophétie des Andes) makes quite a good description of this . The problem is that : until then and for hundreds of generations , the same people with power had been dominating the same people without power , but from then people without power started to think that this could maybe change , that maybe they could get more of this money they were just discovering , that maybe they could find a way to … switch places . To be honest this reaction is quite humane . Also naive , of course , but humane .

And they did it ! They started to reconsider the “natural order of society” , as they called it . But to do that something had to change : Until then , everyone on the two sides , to make it short : the rich and the poor , considered the others as being on the wrong side , when themselves were on the right side . Switching places would have meant turning on to the wrong side . So , slowly a new concept emerged : there was no right side and wrong side (Except for the Nazis) , but only … winners and losers . You know the result of this radical evolution because you all have heard , or even said : “Anyone can make money” . Here we are !.. As the result : power didn't disappear , it changed form . But the most important is that the populations , who were until then subjected to their (social) condition , started to … admit the way the society “had to” work , so that “anyone can make money” . They were victims , they became accomplices . "For (at least) the greater good of their children" , of course .

In fact the Oil Crisis of 1973 (FR.: 1er choc pétrolier) was the first major event who made people think about reconsidering this “new untold but generally accepted order” . And that is probably why it was instantly called a shock . The main result , despite some profound economical changes that followed , was never officially said , or written . But it spread like an unstoppable rumor of an idea that nobody could ever accept , even by a long shot , and it said : “Whatever we do , there won't be enough for everybody” . There is no need to describe the reactions that followed .

But the events we are living at the moment , or see , were born during the 80's when the idea that “ there won't be enough for everybody” engendered a new (untold) strategy which can be summarized like this : if you're not sure of what you can get , get the maximum you can in the minimum of time (duration) . And the only way to do this is to change the rules .

People with power only want one thing : more power . This is a fact . So when they want to get each year more than more-than-the-last-one , they change the rules , replacing bigger amounts by bigger percentage . I know , this looks ridiculously obvious and without any meaning or importance . It is not . Rising amounts cannot get out of reasonable proportions . Everybody does the same , and the result is called inflation . Nothing to worry about in the 80's . But when you start to rise percentages , you start to bend the system , to your personal advantage , but meanwhile you also begin to destroy the whole system you have been using until then . A system that needs to be protected by those who have the benefit of it . And this becomes acceptable in a time when no-one knows what tomorrow will be made of . All the more reason when the ship might be sinking …

Think about it . Come back in time +/- 230 years before now . Precisely : the context that made it happen . The time is called “FR.: La révolution Française” . Please tell me I don't have to translate this ! What was the problem , then ? Exactly the same . The religious powers had become too uncertain and no-one could stop anyone , with power , to do whatever they want . Meaning : rising percentages . Doesn't this remind you of something ? The general equilibrium started to crack , no-one changed anything , then it broke . Because in the end taxes and “contributions” came to represent more than 100 % of what people could ever make .

This is not happening again now , is it ? Yes it is ! But you just don't see it , because of something called : the loans . Paper has replaced gold , then numbers on a screen have replaced (most of) the paper . Right after World War II money started to progressively become virtual . A simple speculation now replaces guaranties . The Banks have found a way to centralize all the resources of the world in their safe . Sorry : on their screens . But anyone can still make money ! Which still is the only thing that matters . Doesn't it ?

Many years ago the French Government admitted that France's debt was equal to 10 years of the “Gross Domestic Product” (FR.: P.I.B. = Produit Intérieur Brut) . Then the numbers were replaced by adjectives : huge , then colossal , then abyssal . This is only the last one I heard … Obviously no-one controls anything anymore . And of course no-one can , or can want to , change anything . It's racing time . Time to make more than more-than-possible , as long as it is , or in fact : seems , possible . Don't worry about morality : the thieves will be thieved . Their money is nothing but virtual and , despite the general beliefs , there is still nothing easier to deny or even erase than something that does not have any physical existence . And all the economy of this world is based on only one rule : “respect the rules or you will loose the system” . So everyone has to “work on the assumption” that the whole system can indeed be entirely virtual . It doesn't make any difference since everyone respects the rules . And this fact is more reliable than material reference . I'm serious : they mean it ! They put their trust in a system , because they believe that no-one will dare to destroy it , knowing that they are destroying it .

I might now talk , or maybe I should talk about the huge importance of the anonymity principle that made this situation possible , among other things , or the spiritual and metaphysical causes , consequences and ideas that may counterbalance all this but … This is not what I do . Because according to me these notions are to be lived , practiced , not theorized . So I will go straight to the point :

In 2013 , march , I had already decided to write an open letter (It's just a text written like a letter) to the French President . (*1) And in this text I also compared the present situation with the French situation of 1789 . But instead of an explosion , called : revolution , I predicted to him an implosion , called … Well there is no name for that because this never happened in the whole human history . Human societies have always grown until they exploded . They have always accumulated everything they could , until their envelope cracked , then broke , under the pressure of hysterical expansion  . But for the first time : a human society , furthermore a worldwide society , is based on emptiness . So it cannot explode . The emptiness that comes out of control does not throw up fragments of uncontrolled desires that turned into violence because of frustrations . It sucks up everything , mainly the wishes and hopes , until there is nothing left but itself . People whose lives are based on nothing concrete do not explode . Their whole lives are bases only on illusions , lies and pretends , which are not real , so if their system stops working , they just … fall into themselves , like a huge house of cards that you can hold in one hand , once it collapsed . But they don't explode . They just can't . And human societies are nothing else and nothing more than piles of human beings . So if what binds the people together is artificial , that means there is nothing concrete in it , that is what defines emptiness , and if this bond comes to … break … people will do what you can do when a house of cards collapses : nothing . Except possibly to panic . And that will be all . Because nobody can't hang on to what does not exist . And nothing exists anymore , in terms of global human organization , but what screens show .

I guess that a lot of people have already begun to hang on to theirs !

I am quite certain that the President did not read my letter , although I sent it to him by e-mail . But I can give you one (very) good reason for him to not read it : Because he already knows everything I say in it . Well I wrote it anyway because it is a public letter ! I wrote it so that anyone can read it , and think about what it says . But of course most people mostly think about how they can make more money than more-than-last-year , so they read magazines , and popular websites , inject into themselves television and radios shows , and they religiously believe that what is said on them is true , like what you can read on on Tweeter or Facebook . I guess that tickets for heaven's entrance must be more expensive than I thought .

But none of this will stop me from being myself .

Seriously : He knows . And every person with any political or administration powers , no matter how small , knows what I am talking about . And they have begun panicking . (I will come back to that) So they need , no , they desperately need something , anything , to … hide this reality as long as humanly possible .

As a matter of fact he has just proven me right : In January the 7th , 2015 , 12 persons were killed in a savage attack against the people who work for/with the French magazine >Charlie Hebdo< . What this magazine looks like does not matter for what I have to say . What matters is what the President said on TV (*2) : 1/ “Dans ces cas-là il faut faire également bloc” 2/ “nous sommes dans un moment extrêmement difficile” 3/ "Nous savions que nous étions menacés" 4/ "Nous sommes menacés parce que nous somme un pays de liberté" . Etc. Let me explain this to you :

1/ “Now is the kind of time when everyone must unite” = This is a reminder of rule N° 1 : “If you don't protect the system you will loose the system” . To put it differently : “You must stop immediately to think only about yourselves” . Of course he knows that this will never happen : the systems “that made him what he is” is already collapsing because nobody does that anymore . But it may always come to be useful to make people feel guilty . And much more important : he says that French people are going to have to do something . And this means , of course : let them be taken more money . In percentage terms , yes , of course !

2/ “Our situation is extremely difficult” . In case some people would not have understood the sentence before , if it would not have been clear enough , this means : “This is a complex situation . Managing it requires highly qualified experts gathered in highly trained teams and a countrywide coordination .” To put it differently : “Don't do anything (As usual) , (As usual too) we will just send you the bill .” Nothing new in all of this , however .

3/ “We new we were not safe” . This requires a minimum of political comprehension , so here it is how it goes : No french institution has been attacked , or even threatened . But a magazine is (supposed to be) about culture , and culture means identity , of the nation . So this “we” only represents the people who work for this magazine . You need to understand this ! And as a matter of fact a policeman was there to protect (24/7) the Director who had really been threatened with death . (The policeman was killed , too , like the Director.) But it's a tradition , in France : when a President talks about a symbol or anything that is supposed to concern everyone , he says “we” , because he is to represent all french people . Like “Marianne” or the national hymn that represent the Republic . Like I said : it's a tradition .

But don't let us forget what we are talking about ; At one moment some people were attacked , and some of them were killed . But the next moment it is the whole country that turned to have officially been attacked . Officially , yes , because the President said so .This is an opportunity as great as 9-11 (World Trade Center) for the USA . We all have heard about the “patriot act” and tax raises that came next to it . In percentage , yes , of course !

4/ “We are threatened because we are a free country” . Here we are : a magazine has been attacked (People who work in it) , so the whole nation is victim of oppressors that want to … to ??? Change the rules , of course ! The rules that must not be changed or “you loose the system” . So everyone must defend the rules , whatever they are , whatever it means , whatever the consequences will be .

In the end , using a tragedy , a real one , this President has got the opportunity to justify everything he needs to justify . Free of charge . But not free of taxes , of course . He has got what “they” all need : a good reason to keep the whole system going on whatever the result might be , and still be supported by the very ones who will be annihilated with it , But … They will get what they need , won't they ? They will still be able to make money , won't they ?

This … has a name . It is called : Democracy .

Now we can talk about “what is happening” . Not about “is this really happening ?” , because it is !.. But about how may we have come to this ? Does this situation have any sense ? Where does it lead ? If it has a sense . And most of all : what can we do , in a time when no-one controls anything anymore ?

What comes next is only a point of view , my point of view . So take it or leave it but don't ask me to demonstrate , prove or “sell” anything . I just propose , you just take what you like . Maybe nothing !

One of the most important elements that can help us to understand the present situation is the Mayan Calender , which is a fact. Of course I am not referring to some king of “end of the world” in 2012 that I never read about nor saw anywhere in a Mayan (Real) reference , I am talking about a particular vision of the evolution of the living , quite similar , in fact , to the Darwinism . It's a kind of a map of the evolution of the living that shows obvious stages , moments when the whole living radically changes , after a period without any significant evolution . And the more the time passed  , the more these stages , that last hundreds of millions of years at the beginning , became closer and closer . In this vision the living evolves faster and faster , by stages . Exactly like the known species evolved . From the official scientific point of view .

A few persons gave a name to this : “Fr.: L'accélération du temps” . The time's acceleration . It is a nonsense because if time itself accelerates , we won't see any difference , because we measure time through events , so if time goes faster events will go faster too and we won't see any difference . But … We need to name things , don't we ? So “time's acceleration” means “The acceleration of the evolution's stages” . I , for one , consider that it concerns the whole Universe , and not only the living (Except if one defines everything as part of the living) .

Anyway , everyone knows what evolution means and that the human way of living evolved more during the last century than during a millennium before , or even a million years before Neanderthal . But a huge confusion generated (No matter why how and when) a huge problem : everybody actually believe that humans rapidly increased their capabilities because of … the technology . Yes , we all “know” it : it is the technology , and nothing else , that considerably increased the evolution . This is not incorrect . Not entirely .But there still is a problem about what really caused these changes :

||| Did man evolve because he was able to develop his technology ? (Only by himself)

||| Or was he able to develop his technology because he had evolved ? (Not only by himself)

Most people will consider that it absolutely does not matter , because what only really matters is the fact that technology exists (so that everyone can make money) , no matter why or how it happened .

But I persist : This is the very heart of the problem , the human worldwide problem . People have always believed , because man has always wanted to be the center and the origin of everything , that they always made things happen , but they never thought about the idea that the fact that they could make these things happen was only … a consequence , that is of course much less gratifying than being a demigod . This way they could go on doing … anything , because the common idea was “we made it by ourselves , so we will control it by ourselves , because we are causes , not consequences” . (Don't worry I am not about to create a new cult that will answer to the question : consequences of what (Or : whom) ?) But I stand with the idea that the human kind evolved because the Universe evolved , not only because of themselves , regardless of anything … out of them , beyond their limits , or out of their control , even if such a denial of their partially divine nature is unacceptable to them .

You've got it : I , among hundred of thousands of other people around the world , consider that each important evolution is only a consequence of a new stage in the evolution of the Universe . But what can we do with that ? If you don't mind , let's go back to the Mayan calender , and this is important because … it has an end . (Some say at the end of 2011 , some : a few months later) . So ?.. So … the Mayans had this concept of evolution , but at a certain point it turns to a nonsense . The last stages of evolution in their calender happen every … 20 days . How could they even imagine a faster evolution than that ? Well , they couldn’t . So they stopped their calender , sending a message to us , now : “We cannot understand what might come next , so , when the time will come , it will be up to you to complete the work , using the new data that you will have collected , that we cannot apprehend from our time” . (I guess that the priests added a “good luck with that” when they thought about it .) By the way : did any official scientist collect any data to prepare this moment ? Not that I know of ! How could this have helped to make more money anyway ?

It's up to us now ! And this is … a big problem because : in the whole history of human kind , men have always got ideas by … first taking those that were conceived before them . To put it differently : men always used what had been done before , then improved what they could . But they never created “starting from nothing” . They are not used to think , about anything , without first consulting what has been done before . And this puts an end to their capabilities when it is time to … face an evolution that never happened before , an evolution which description , with the usual mental tools , is a pure nonsense . And when I say men I mean : everybody .

We are living a time when no-one could ever (officially) explain anything , because what is happening never happened before ! We have been used to properly face only what had already happened and had already been studied , and we have to face an entire Universe that … improvises . From our point of view .

We , and our politicians , and our scientists , even our religions , are totally powerless .

This is not correct ! Most people are , at the moment , yes . But some are very well prepared .

But to explain how it may be possible , I need to use one of my favorite allegories (Copyright : Me) . I had to use it more and more frequently these last two years , because it seems (to me) to be the best way (I know) to summarize what is happening at the moment , and how we (all) can deal with it :

Since the dawn of human kind , men always apprehended Life (+/-) this way : “Life is like a river , and people are swimming in the river as long as they are living . And there is no other possibility than : swim , all the time , or drown and die . There are no edges to climb on and have a rest , no escape , because life is how it is , and nothing and no-one will change anything to that .” I must agree to this principle , it has always been true . But I must disagree with the last part : the time's acceleration has already begun to change that .

What we are talking about , here , is the only way people ever managed to survive , and this essentially implies the collective organization of human mutual collaboration , spontaneously or by mean force , called : society . Yes , this is … how human kind survived : creating societies that gathered strengths and capabilities . And the only known and imposed way to do that was : swim or die .

In 2009 I wrote an open letter named “De vision Unique en noir et rouge” = “About a black an red Standardized vision” . (*3) In this letter I am talking about the time's acceleration and how we might apprehend it , and I ask this very simple question : “What will happen if the current (of the river) goes stronger , what will you do ? And if it goes even stronger ? And even more than that ? And always more and more ?”

Believe it or not , this is exactly what is happening at the moment ! The current of the “river of live” is going stronger and stronger . And it will go on this way . So what do people do ? What kind of a question is that ? They swim faster ! Of course they do ! This is exactly what humans do , since millenniums(nia) . They don't know any other way . Most of them can't even imagine there could be another way . Everyone always said : there is no other way .

So what is going to happen ? I am sorry I have to say that but … it is so obvious that I have to say it , as rude as it is : they are going to drown . All of them ? If nothing changes : nearly all of them . There is nothing to do when an entire population of an entire planet refuses to accept the evidence , because all the people put their entire trust in a few who are supposed to possess the entire knowledge and make the right decisions , tell people what to do and most of all : what to think . I 'd love to hear someone proving me wrong , but this will not happen , because … “If you don't respect the rules you'll lose the system” . And no-one wants this to happen . Everyone is already getting used to swim faster and faster , “because there is no other way” . I can see it everywhere , everyday .

So we are doomed ? Absolutely not . But if we want to survive the time's acceleration there is one thing we must do : we must make a choice . And this is one of the most difficult decision a human being can have to make . We have to decide … to get out of the river . To slowly , progressively but surely , get out of the river . There is no future in the past , and the past is supposed to prepare for the future , but no-one did that . The Mayans warned us , building pyramids without any top to remind us that “the end of the story still has to be written” . But the absolute priority of production sent their message in some museums , among other relics of some primitive useless cultures , or so-called . And that was all . So we are on our own . And by “we” I mean : each one of us , individually .The only way left is to … improvise , each person his or her own way . You have to understand this : There are no books , no sciences , no laws , no rules , no authorities to define the time we are living , and there is no time left to create something to help us to decide , from a global point of view . But each and every person can make a choice . Everyone of us can decide to NOT put any more his or her trust in … in these so-called perfect systems that just have an "infinitesimal" flaw : neglecting (Rejecting , in fact) 90 % of what makes the Universe what it is . Everyone can make the choice to think and act accordingly to his or her own intuition , instinct , or whatever else that is capable to lead him , or her . I for one made this choice when I was 4 years old . So who cannot ?

But there is something you have to know , because it is important : Getting out of the river also means to be prepared to … I'm sorry but it is unavoidable … get used to see a lot of those you know , like or even : love , staying inside the river and slowly but surely keep on drowning , despite their always bigger efforts . And those people will accuse you to abandon them , they will tell you that : if you don't come back they might drown , because of you . They will still believe that  . And your only hope will be that , at some point , when these people will see you on the bank , they might , at last , at least understand that … it IS … possible . And maybe then to decide to join you . But until then you will be seen as a traitor . Let me help you to get the picture with these few sentences : “If you don't respect the rules everything will be lost” “Remember your teaching” “You are doing the wrong thing” “Didn't you learn anything from us ?” “You know that only together can we make it” “Can't you see that there is no reason is what you are doing ?” and so on ...

One cannot fight thousands of generations of conditionning . You just can't . The only thing you can do is evolve for and by yourself , and hope to become an example that some will follow . But if you try to “pull out” some people , like I already happened to see by myself some people do , you will just drown with them . This can be an acceptable choice , but only if you are aware of what it implies .

Finally it is time for me to link all these concepts I wrote about before , in this text . Because it is very important to understand what is happening around us , in our town , our country , on our planet , and I have to admit that what we can observe around us at the moment is really … confusing . When in fact it is very simple ! But I had to draw some elements of the picture , so that YOU can make it simple , for and by yourselves .

So … What do we have here ? Thousands of years of melted populations calmly obeying nearly without any reserves to various traditions , mostly based on fears , most people expecting to be told what to do and think , most of the others looking for some ideas of what to tell , until everybody ended up to face an unpredictable situation , in a society that may and might ever only manage predictable situations . The result has a name : panic . But for now this only concerns those who really know what is happening , (More or less 5 % of the population) who also have a name : Decision-makers . (Until now the other 95% only “feel something fishy” .) I will not bother or upset you with what “making decisions” really means , but I will remind you this : “makers” means that , whatever happens , they have to do it . They have to make decisions , in any circumstances . Even if they can't , they have to . And guess what ? There are each month more and more situations with no solutions , at all . But decisions still have to be made .

But why should this be a problem ? Decision always had to be made and it never was such a big problem !?! It is … a problem , because the only decision that should have been made , and accepted by the entire population , decades ago , was never and will never be made . Remember : “If you change the system you'll loose the system ; there is no other way .” . So when times are changing so much and so fast that you have to quickly “find something else” , when it is time to “get out of the river” , and this means : abandoning (at least an important part of) the system that everything and everybody have always been depending on , for millenniums , when you can observe that your system is more and more fragile and its integrity threatened , the only decision you should make in the first place should be to … change this system … that must not be changed . By nature and constitution . And the purpose of a decision-maker is to defend this , first of all and at any cost . Any cost .

Everyone can evolve , but the present political , economical , social , moral and even partially religions-based system can NOT do that , because it only works if it does not change . This is the only way it works . It really is ! So whatever happens nobody will change anything . The structures will not adapt to a new situation because they must not adapt . Rome felt without any changes , and so did all the civilizations that disappeared . The substantial difference with the present situation is that : because of what is called Internationalism , there is at the moment no “other place” left to build a new civilization , a new society . There is no more “somewhere else” . There is no place left for anything “even somehow different” . The entire populations of the planet have to deal with what they have , because fundamental changes will not be accepted . This will not happen .

So let us come back to “our” decision makers . What can they do ? I already answered to that question : Nothing . What do they do , then ? Well , nothing is not a response in option for them so , like I said , they have to hide the reality . And they call this “avoiding panic” . No smiley ! They have to justify their functions , so that everybody may think : ”We still have our decision-makers so everything is going to be alright” , and being serious , saying that . They have to find situations that still make it possible for them to make acceptable public decision . And if they don't find these situations they just create them , using provocations to generates attacks , finding new enemies who require complicated and expensive punitive reactions , like people who smoke , or young people who drink energizing drinks , or young people … or whatever that may be generally accepted . They justify the system . And to be honest : this is going to (really) be the last thing left to do . Without changing anything .

So if you have a problem trying to understand what is going on around you , it might be because you are observing the whole thing "the wrong way" . So let me propose to you my point of view : It is useless by now to search for a logical explanation to people's behavior . By logical explanation I mean : something that will show you that the result of the actions you are observing will be a good , a positive thing , defining what is called : a good reason (to do something) . You might take advantage to get used to it as soon as you can : this is about to be completely obsolete ! People will less and less act according to a result they are supposed to get ; they will act more and more exclusively to … be in accord with their function(s) , their status , in a word : their character . That's right : just like in a movie . They too think they have less and less choices left .

Think about a robot , for example : programmed to cover a certain distance turn around and come back to it's starting point . If you take off a part of the floor , what will the robot do ? Obviously it will fall when it will arrive a the missing part of the floor . Because covering a certain distance and come back is what it does . When people must evolve but cannot do it , they are in the same situation as this robot . They will do what they are supposed to do , when the robot has no choice , and they will fall because they will not find out how to manage the situation without breaking the rules . They will say they have no choice . Remember this : even when rules lead to a disaster , even a total disaster , people will continue to apply them . Not because they are stupid , not because they cannot find a solution , but only because they have been told to defend the system , under penalty of loosing everything . So , as one says , they “don't ask” . They don't betray the tradition . They keep on swimming . And , unfortunately , they will keep on swimming , I guarantee it !

So society is doomed ? Yes it is , as it is ! ( ' sorry ! ' couldn't resist !..)

You certainly noticed , the “as it is” . So the last thing I am going to do , in this text , is … giving you some leads , or clues , to help you to understand what this means , and implies :

(Please) Think about this : What is the FIRST thing that people who have a decision to make do , no matter how small or how big this decision is ? Of course , you know the answer ! They look to the left , to the right , upside , downside , forward , backward , almost backward because most of these kind of checks have already been done in their past , and might be used again . And they observe very carefully each attitude they can observe , specially : reactions . Yes ! This is how they do : They look around them , 360° in 3D , to find … what the others do , in this kind of situation they are . Face it : we are sheep , we act like sheep , we think like sheep . In fact there is not one decision in our entire lives that has been made … without … consulting “what the others do” . Except for some very few rare people whose inspiration usually do not come from human beings .

Well … it's a system . And it work , at least for the species . Human species included . The shepherds lead , sometimes they make mistakes but they know their job , anyway they are supposed to . So everyone think : “If there was something different to do , the shepherd would have showed another path to a few sheep , and all the sheep beside those sheep would have done the same , and soon the whole herd would have followed . So by imitating the ones next to me I , in a way , follow the shepherd’s directives . And I put my entire trust in him .“

And … That is the problem , actually . First : Sometimes a man named Panurge finds a way to kill the all herd , for revenge . But much more important and certain is , and I'm telling you , you are not … going to like it , not at all , because this is something so obvious and scary that you will probably reject it , maybe you already have ... anyway here it is : WAKE UP ! And forget it ! The all of it ! The whole >Herd concept< . The shepherds are dead ! All of them ! They died decades ago ! (What ??? They were old , they died … what is wrong saying that ?) No-one leads anymore the herd(s) , now . The data are far too complex , the automatic systems used by the “fake shepherds” are far too heavy , and they have gathered so much speed that nothing can make them change course . (By the way : this is the reason why no real shepherd is needed any longer .) Think of a train at maximum speed , but no-one can drive it anymore . ' just the same . The only possible thing to do should be to find a way to stop the train but … “If you stop the system you'll loose the system” . See ? You've got it , now . Congratulations ! Seriously the idea of anyone controlling , I mean : really … controlling anything , is pure illusion . No-one can do that anymore .

So each sheep keeps following the one rule he/she knows : acting like the others , and the so-called shepherds keep claiming that they well do their job . And I guess they do !.. Whatever it is . (Buying flowers , paying people to write speeches , having plastic surgery …)

OK . I confess . This is not true . This is what a sociologist would probably tell . If well informed . (Good luck to find one of this kind !) But this is not how things are , and go . This is just how things look like . Explanation : Anyone who might have a global view of the entire human kind would see that , and you know it because of what you felt , reading the long paragraph before this one . But it is too simple to be true . And , in fact : if this was entirely true , the human kind would have long ago ended in a bloodbath . When a blind man leads a blind herd …

What is true is that there are no more real shepherds . What is not is that : sheep are stupid . Ab-so-lu-tly wrong ! Sheep have a kind of intelligence , differnet from ours , called instinct , that they use to … feel … if everything is alright , or not . And the reason why they trust their shepherd is because they have seen … the results of his “leadership” . Doesn't this remind you of something ? So if the shepherd goes missing , they do NOT stupidly keep following each other . Each one listens to his/her instinct . And most of all : each one listens each instinct of each other . So at a certain point , a general idea emerges . And that is what they will do . More or less .

You are not stupid . This is not your nature , even if you sometimes act stupid . For example : you have learned , that means : you have been told and you had to "sware" that you agreed , that … Leaders lead . I know you had no choice but to comply but , honestly , don't you think that it might be time to have … an opinion ? I mean : a real , individual , properly and individually conceived opinion . Well ; Now is a very good time to do that , because you are going to like what I am about to say : No matter how true it might have been , your teaching is at the moment wrong : your leaders don't lead you anymore . They just keep the lifestyle , that's all .

So who leads you ?

Yourselves !

I mean it ! This is not a joke . Humans have forgotten that they have an instinct , but they still have one . They now define themselves as rational , scientific beings who do not need any more things as much … imprecise and non demonstrated as … instinct , but they use it more than ever . (Much more than the last decades , anyway .) Like I said : without everybody's instincts I could not be writing this , because the bloodbath would have ended long ago .

The more the “society machine” has gone mad , the more you , everyone , have started to compensate the lacks of intelligent instructions , felt as such by your instinct , by ideas of your own , that you rejected , at a conscious level , of course , because they were instinctive so they were bad (as you were told) , but that stayed , in your mind , at a very unconscious level . Then these ideas matured . And everyone did the same . And someday you all woke up having the same kind of idea in the same time , but without knowing it , because “we don't talk about these things” (It's useless and most of all : dangerous) . Then leaders , who have very good informants , have heard about it , and made a decision that looked like this very idea that came from everyone's instinct listening to everyone's instinct . So when you heard what decision had been made , you (probably) said something like “Oh ! That looks like what I was thinking about . What a good leadership this is , matching with my ideas !” . (Seriously : sometimes , you have issues !) Most time you added something like “But I shouldn’t have done it this way” . (I confirm : Serious !) But you really , seriously could not imagine having anything to do , at any point , with it . Like I said (Again) : You need to wake up : your leaders do - not - lead - you ; You - lead - them .

Look at that ! Here comes Mr Sceptic (Or Skeptic) who says : “And here it is another so-called brilliant theory to explain everything . Please ! Be decent and go and bore some academic assembly that needs to digest quietly .”

All wrong , Mr Sceptic . I do not theorize . I only show people something that some of them will … recognize as … theirs . And that the others will not , of course ! I am not trying to explain anything , I am just talking about what is wrong . And may I remind you that if we , everybody , do not right the wrongs , this is going to end up very bad ? Well I do ! So go and find yourself an other victim ! I’m teasing you : Instead of being stubborn , stay with me , and listen :

Because our “as it is” should become clear , now .

All human beings are at the moment mistaken , thinking that there still are real shepherds . But since decades everybody have naturally counterbalanced this grave lack of organization . So the situation stayed viable . But there is still one problem , that comes from the time's acceleration : “thinking as a herd” is not enough anymore , because new situations require new ideas , ideas that no-one ever had , ideas that would not come to most sheep . It is time to : think differently . And this ... a herd cannot do , acting the usual way . This requires audacity from everybody , from each sheep . The audacity to dare thinking differently than the way sheep usually do , since ages . Humanity has survived , until now , because of the transfer of authority from leaders to masses , even though they are not aware of that . But when it comes to “getting out of the river” , that means : acting a way that has never been done before … Well … Authorities are non-efficient , because they're unable to innovate .

Furthermore , following is not enough anymore . Each and everyone has to go his/her own way . First : new paths have to be discovered and the more individuals will search each one in his/her own direction , the more paths will be explored . But much more important : the present (succession of) evolution(s) is (are) not about improving minds or intellects , but about spirituality . And spirituality requires from each one to follow his/her own path . Spirituality is about what is beyond our lives and even our species . It is a higher point of view (Like when you are in a plane) . What has to be seen is the same for everybody , but each reaction is different . And differences are what makes a group strong , specially when it is time to replace the self-common-leadership by … the no-leadership .

But please let myself be clear : What I am talking about is not Anarchy . I am not talking about breaking social rules laws and organization . Spirituality is a mater of minds , way of thinking , not of acts , physical acts .

Anyway : In a spiritual world , there is no leadership , what bounds everybody is called harmony , that is natural , spontaneous , and does not work with rules , dogmas , or common point of view . And a herd NEEDS a common point of view . A herd needs a minimum of uniformity .

Time's acceleration implies to transform … the herd … into a self generated and regenerated community , each one having his/her own way , everyone listening to everyone , everyone sharing .

But I don't see much people about to do that . And this is … the real problem .

So the really , really big question is : Are you going to authorize yourself to do that ?

You can stop waiting for the herd to start moving by itself . You can help the … group … to get a new start , by doing it yourself . (All) The others will know about what you are doing . Maybe they will not accept it , maybe they will … But you will not go anywhere as long as you will keep waiting for the herd to start up . This is a “herd thinking” . Look around you : it works less and less every day . More and more people have begun to desperate , because they (desperately) wait for … a signal (from the herd) . A signal they still think they need . But there is no signal . At least : nothing significant . And that is their problem . (Oh ! By the way : when the whole herd cannot wait any longer for signals it … begins to slow down until it stops , and this is what I call : an implosion .)

Time is to individual thinking . And many individual thoughts can make the group change (Evolve , in this case) , when the herd is stuck and sends no signal . But a decision has to be made . By each one of us . And for that we are on our own . We can start up our own evolution , for our own good , and hope that our example will help , and that others will do the same , building their own different example . Or we can keep watching the others expecting to detect some kind of a signal ; even if no signal is going to come (Except some panic signals , of course !) .

I'm gonna try to make it as clear as I can : when a global system doesn't work any more , or less and less , the first idea that comes to everyone is to replace it by another global system . But if the current system stops this from happening , the only way left is to switch to the "individual thinking mode" (When there is no way to build something else elsewhere .) But , in a situation when everyone must individually adapt , because any global solution will necessarily fail , people will quite easily accept to adapt , because they will see it as just : changing their haple of individuality : because this selection est absolutely different than all the ones bbits , maybe their general behavior , which is acceptable when the goal is to survive … But if this is about an evolution of the entire living , or Universe , it will be quite a bigger challenge . The name of this kind of situation is even not accepted , because it comes with fear . You … most probably even didn't think about it , reading what I wrote before , if you read it , because you (really) don't like it . It's too creepy . Although , when it turn to be vital , for a species , to evolve , isn't that what they call : A natural selection ? Yes it is ! And this is how I , for one , define the time being ! And this is why I really insist about the princiefore . Because before … species survived by adapting with their strength and minds or both . A herd can do that . But the natural selection of the time being will not select the strongest or the smartest but … the more spiritual . When everything goes faster , and we all have seen this all around us , by now , at some point the muscles and the brain can not go faster . They reach their limits . And when this happens , it's time for "something else" to take charge . So , like I said , spirituality , which is quite capable of doing that , is individual . Not : collective . Never . Until now species adapted as a group , but a spiritual evolution cannot happen that way . Everyone is on his own . (And if a lot of individuals can adapt , so the species will have adapted . Good !) . But a spiritual evolution can only start from the individual , to end with the group , when the physical evolutions , until now , started with the group (The herd) and ended with the individual .

How about that ??? For an evolution …

Well , I say , among millions of other people around the world : it's an evolution of the evolution itself . And this is what some people call : The Time's Acceleration . As it is , now .

Clearly : times of herds lead by fake shepherds are over . Obsolete .

So ? ! ?

What's up in your lives , that may be called : new , then ?

F.C.
