The Awesome Power Of The Mystery Meme

memeOwen K Waters – In The Future of the Human Race Revealed, we listed the memes of social progression which have been identified so far in the book, Spiral Dynamics. The characteristics of the first tier of six memes (patterns of thought) are:

1. Basic, personal survival.
2. Clan survival.
3. Courage, survival of the fittest.
4. Finding order and purpose in life.
5. Achievement, striving to succeed.
6. Community and caring.

Then, a momentous leap into the second, spiritual tier of six memes began with leading-edge thinkers in the 1950s, then mushroomed into popularity in the mid-1960s. Since then, enough people have made the shift into the second tier to enable two of its memes to be identified and analyzed:

7. Responsible freedom.
8. Holistic, global village view.

As of the 1990s, the authors of Spiral Dynamics have also identified the existence of the next meme in the progression. This ninth meme has not yet been observed in large quantities of people, so they have been unable to summarize its characteristics at this point.

Using basic metaphysical principles, however, you can predict exactly what it will become. Also, second tier memes are reminiscent of their first tier cousins. Meme number nine, being the third meme within the second tier of six, will become an enlightened version of the original meme number three, which is courage. Continue reading →

As a collective we have been sold a meme so pervasive that most have accepted it as their own idea. We buy into the ideologies set forth to us by the media, the political rhetoric, the education system, the cultural and social influences to such a degree, that we have built a fictional shared consensus. This consensus mandates that personal success is gauged in our ability to climb the economic ladder, to collect more bits of paper called money than our neighbors, so we can buy more goods that we simply do not need. We have been taught that consumption for the sake of consumption is a worthy attribute, because it contributes to the financial growth of the economy. While the truth is you cannot maintain infinite economic growth when it is dependent on the finite resources of our world. Why should we have to pay others to live on the land we were born on?

The meme locks us into servitude through the use of false scarcity. Nature gives freely, but the ruling classes have cast their net of restriction, which severs the natural abundance the world offers as our birth right. They have done this through turning the monetary supply into a privately owned, debt based instrument of control. In today’s society, money is born out of debt, the sum total of which can never be paid back as the debt never gets issued, only the principle. This creates a never ending vacuum that syphons off wealth from the masses to those that own the banks. We have become financial slaves through forced dependence on this system. Although most believe they are free through the unwritten rules that they unknowingly follow.

Through a consistent barrage of propaganda, Mr Average has come to accept that he is the lowest rung on the societal ladder. He never questions those he believes are of higher authority than him. If only he knew that sovereignty comes from the people, not from any institution, regardless of their grandiose claims. You are the highest authority in your life. And so it is up to you to author your own life story.
