All of us assess everything in terms of how it will affect our quality of life. We commit everything to the elevation of our quality of life. Our reason and instincts are tools to help us identify those things that will help us do this.

The role of government is to establish a legal and social environment to help you raise your quality of life.

We assess leaders based on how well they will raise our quality of life.

Corruption happens when some of us, or we ourselves, act in ways to “help” our quality of life in ways that are easier because they permit us to work less hard, to sacrifice less, to not live up to our inborn responsibilities by us taking something that is rightfully anothers. We harm them. We cost them.

Worst of all, we think we can get away with it.

But wasn’t the cheating of minorities and women and the environment the crime that launched your Leftism? . . . It was. This stealing, this cheat, against the Divine Template made you pursue a higher Justice. In pursuing Justice, don’t believe that you are entitled to a Double Standard in stealing and cheating. That would mean that two wrongs make a right. And make sure the stealing and cheating happened the way you think it did, and that you have the right guilty party, because, if you are wrong about your history and your facts, or you are holding the grandson or granddaughter who never perpetrated a crime—then you are just another angry thug striking a blow for angry thuggery. You won’t wind up on the side of the Divine Template.

You will miss the mark of Justice and make all of us pay the cost of your mistake.

We want to turn the mess of our lazy obese McDonald’s lifestyle into the gold of a Jack Lalanne physique. Counterfeits of enlightenment inevitably lure us and seduce us with the prospect of our getting something for nothing.

Again, we think the account is held only with one another. This is an illusion. Our account is actually held at the Bank of Heaven.

This does not mean that we cannot invent new breakthroughs and technology that help us with efficiency and to move more in concert with the way the world works and shifts. Think of how much more in the dark we would be had we not discovered anti-oxidants, anti-aging enzymes, chiropractic and the role in our lives of nerve interference. And who knows what we will uncover about the power of our own consciousness to alter the “material” of the world we live in?

But, no matter how much you can alter with your consciousness the fabric of our world, does that give you the right to change your relationship with your brother and sister and turn them into your serf or your slave? When you are not doing your share of the work so that they have to pick up the slack—aren’t you making them your serf or your slave?

They are still entitled to their liberty and independence. Because the white man saw his ability to transform his world superior to the minority (and indeed it was)—did it give him the right to subjugate those whom he did?

Even if we improve our relationship with the secrets of Nature—how much do we get to change our relationship with, and responsibility to, one another?

And yet it does with the Left. They see themselves (and the politically correct) as superior beings entitled to you being their serf or their slave. Your property, the proceeds of your labor and accomplishments, are all their political playthings to do with as they see fit. There is nothing sovereign about you.

Everything about you is subject to their discretion. Because they are morally superior to you.

Is this how the enlightened see their relationship with you? That you are their plaything? That they can steal from you and push you around?

Political Correctness Is a Counterfeit of Enlightenment

Political Correctness is the Left’s offering (political template on enlightenment) to seduce our emotions and hatreds and lure us away from the more sober model of our Holistic template for identifying what is Good, what is Innocent, what will raise our quality of life, and who are our friends, allies and best leaders.

In the many respects that this model is out of phase with the Divine Template, we shoot ourselves in the foot when we follow it.

In the ways that it is in phase, we are blessed when we follow it.

“Political Correctness” was a term coined by Mao Tse-tung. It referred to a template of ideals and verbiage that the Leftists would punish you for if you did not subscribe to. The heart of the term implies the same thing—it is a template that does not Holistically improve you and your life experience, it improves the Left’s power over all things.

If the Left’s power is not Holistically improving you, then what Good is it? If the Left’s power is actually subtracting from your quality of life, then it is nothing but another Form of corruption.

How in or out of phase with Holism is Socialism? . . . We need to understand what our enlightenment is all about in order to find out. We need to understand what it comes from and why it comes from it.

Corruption, Evil and Innocence

Every model of enlightenment at some point directly or indirectly defines its Innocent, i.e. the people it says are to be emulated and protected. The Left has theirs and the Right has theirs. Muslims have theirs.

Political correctness defines the Left’s innocent.

The intrinsic elements of your Holistic biological, psychological and spiritual quality of life defines yours.

The model that is more consonant with the model of Innocence extending out of the Ordered Whole will always win the prize for prosperity, peaceful coexistence and species evolution.

This is because what extends out of the Ordered Whole, the Good of All, are eternal principles that behave like structural forces that we cannot change because they govern All Things.

We always want to change this eternal structure because it insists that we must Work. Not only work, but work in the right way.

Often, we don’t want to do this. We human beings have this duality toward our work. Often, we hate work. We want to be on vacation all the time. But we forget that the valley and the mountain define each other. We want to kick the cosmic coke machine and get a free coke. We want to turn shit into gold.

Our Holistic Higher Quality of Life has a Unique Magic to Advance Us

The Divine Template advances our mental, physical and spiritual quality of life like nothing else. There simply is no substitute. It improves these things at any dose and it is unique in that there is no point where the dose is too high and we experience diminishing returns.

We didn’t create it. It was here before we were and it is of the same essence that makes sense of all things. It invests and under-frames everything, including human reason and our assessment of everything that comes to affect our quality of life.

And so, any counterfeit of enlightenment, any set of strategies or policies that is out of phase with the Divine Template, proves itself to be a fraud of philanthropy and logic because these strategies and policies will erode our quality of life. And it makes no sense for us (unless we’ve gone crazy) to diminish our quality of life. Anything that does so erodes our trust and confidence. The fraud, the counterfeit, cannot be hidden because the negative effect on our biological, psychological and spiritual quality of life cannot be hidden.

That which we extend from, which is Good, arranges things this way so that we at least have a passing chance to be rational about what we are doing to ourselves. It gives us this chance to realize that we are violating the fundamental principles of life and existence, and that this is insane, and to realize that we are destroying ourselves when we embrace anything that is out of phase with this inborn model under-framed by the structural forces of life and existence.

Our Higher Quality of Life

All of us assess everything in terms of how it will affect our quality of life. We commit everything to the elevation of our quality of life. Our reason and instincts are tools to help us identify those things that will help us do this.

The role of government is to establish a legal and social environment to help you raise your quality of life.

We assess leaders based on how well they will raise our quality of life.

Corruption happens when some of us, or we ourselves, act in ways to “help” our quality of life in ways that are easier because they permit us to work less hard, to sacrifice less, to not live up to our inborn responsibilities by us taking something that is rightfully another’s. We harm them. We cost them.

Worst of all, we think we can get away with it.

But wasn’t the cheating of minorities and women and the environment the crime that launched your Leftism? . . . It was. This stealing, this cheat, against the Divine Template made you pursue a higher Justice. In pursuing Justice, don’t believe that you are entitled to a Double Standard in stealing and cheating. That would mean that two wrongs make a right. And make sure the stealing and cheating happened the way you think it did, and that you have the right guilty party, because, if you are wrong about your history and your facts, or you are holding the grandson or granddaughter who never perpetrated a crime—then you are just another angry thug striking a blow for angry thuggery. You won’t wind up on the side of the Divine Template.

You will miss the mark of Justice and make all of us pay the cost of your mistake.

You and I have a responsibility to one another to be rational and Just because the Divine Template backs up the contract. In other words, when we think we can cheat one another by working less hard and not carrying our weight, we may be able to fool one another—but we cannot fool the Divine Template. We are required to live up to our responsibilities not only for our mutual quality of life, but also by the nature of our being.

Our enlightenment is predicated on rational work and the quality of our work. Counterfeits of the Divine Template always appeal to us in part because they lure our laziness, our wanting the most return for the least investment. They are easy, short-term solutions.

This means that, really, any counterfeit of enlightenment is not a solution at all, but only an illusion of a solution.

Hence, it will always invite us to harm our brother and sister. The most popular target today, in the era of Socialism, is our rich or corporate brother and sister.

This does not mean that there are no criminals among the rich and corporate, but that “criminality” is defined by the Holistic template of enlightenment, not by the Socialist’s politically correct template of enlightenment.

We Are Not One Another’s Enemy

Of course we aren’t. . . . Do you really think it could be any other way?

The research in physics that proves co-locality demonstrates that everything in the universe is thoroughly interconnected. We are all part of one huge bolt of magical fabric that pops up into the “separate” individuals, cultures, races that we think we are. But the fact that we are completely interconnected beings in this cosmic carpet insists that you and I must rethink any idea that says “You are my enemy,” or “I can improve myself by harming you.”

The implicit Holistic lesson is that there is a better way. And Socialism has not learned this lesson, is not teaching you this lesson—and I am suggesting this ugly fact is more than you bargained for when you signed on to become a Lefty.

I am part of your body. We are both organs growing out of the same body (existence). Co-locality proves it. You may dispute the fact because it is inconvenient or disadvantageous to you, but it is a fact nonetheless.

And the relationship exactly reflects what happens in your own body whenever you ignore the inborn requirements for your health and thriving. You get exactly what you put in and your ignorance of the inborn law is no excuse or protection from the consequences.

Into the New Dark Age

The more overpopulation stress invades our mind and makes us want to kill each other and steal one another’s property and diminish one another’s humanity and accomplishments, the more we become susceptible to the lure, the seduction, of counterfeits of enlightenment.

Obviously, Good and Evil are not an illusion. In fact, I think we get brownie points for taking out the Hitlers, the Stalins, the Maos, and others who reduce our quality of life because you and I extend out of something that is Good. But our model for Good and Evil is innate and lies within the structural forces that frame our enlightenment and all of existence.

Counterfeits of enlightenment propose structures for judging Good and Evil that are out of phase with our inborn Holistic template. This means that counterfeits of enlightenment will always be exposed in time by reducing our quality of life.

It is a Divine Template. It exists for the reason that life simply can’t exist any other way, and for the purpose of helping us find the best way to make us, and our life experience, better. The more of us that see the simple common sense truths of our enlightenment, and who advocate them, and live them, then the more the power of the human race becomes like a musical instrument that is more and more perfectly in tune.

The music becomes more and more perfect.

Counterfeits of Enlightenment

In other words, we cannot kick the cosmic coke machine and get a free coke. In other words, the enlightened are not thugs. In other words, overpopulation stress lures us into thinking and acting like thugs.

The lesson our world wants us to realize is that there is absolutely nothing to be gained by harming one another in any way. The lesson is that the best solution to any problem we will ever face will not force us to harm one another.

Any violation, by the hard Left assaulting that which in America is more enlightened than they are, by the Right siding more with drug companies than citizens, or radical Islam attacking the non-Muslim world, is exactly and proportionately as self destructive as a wild man attacking his left knee with the hatchet in his right hand.

Again, the resulting dysfunction may be so diffuse as to be difficult to measure without sophisticated instrumentation—but it must be there.

How do we know? Because Balance is an absolutely absolute structural force of our world. It is ever-present and never fails.

I’m At My Best When I Relax

This is the great lesson of tai chi. I call tai chi the Calisthenics of Enlightenment because of all the curious, direct tie-ins with profundity.

For example, you cultivate your chi in order to become a force of nature, so that the structural force of Yin and Yang is in your spine and your waist and your limbs. You swing your waist like a force of nature, connected with all things, just as the law should be, and our social contract.

Are the hard Socialists relaxed when they crow at you for not being as perfect as they are? Are they relaxed when they enjoin you to hate their political opponents and belittle their political opponents as subhuman?

Are they relaxed when the same ones who pass 50,000 tax hikes on you don’t bother to pay those same taxes themselves?

Are they relaxed when none of this hypocrisy bothers them?

I believe relaxation is a part of enlightenment because it logically and instinctually makes sense to me. But look at all the scientific evidence that now corroborates the idea. You cannot find scientific evidence to the contrary.

We never will. . . . Not until the world changes.

Is it relaxed that the Socialists seem to live by no standard except the Double Standard?

In my sociology class prior to entering chiropractic school, I read of two fascinating experiments in what, for lack of a better term, I call overpopulation stress. I don’t remember the authors. Their work changed my thinking about the human condition as much as tai chi and chiropractic.

In the first experiment, the overpopulated lab animals were deprived of sufficient food and the animals warred over the resources. In what I thought was the much more interesting experiment, in the second experiment the animals were given all the food they needed as their numbers grew.

Four behavioral patterns emerged—homicide, infanticide, suicide and homosexuality.

I would suggest the following:

1. The creature that has no predator becomes predator to itself, and the reflex is hardwired into us as a feedback loop.

2. The greater the overpopulation stress, the more our brain is designed to make us imagine differences between us sufficient to warrant cheating, stealing, disenfranchising, even killing.

3. In animals, the tools are tooth and claw, in humans, the weapon is irrationality and emotion swamping reason so that we become more vulnerable to being swept away by counterfeits of enlightenment and the common Good.

4. The invisible testosterone of overpopulation stress is designed to be in us. It represents the greatest test of the human race by whatever put us here. We must defeat this illusion of separateness and the need to harm one another before we are allowed to evolve to better places of existence.

Two things are essential for defeating this defeat of ourselves: (a) we need to understand that our own brain is rigged against us when we fail to realize how good we are, and the wonderful tools we have for solving all of our problems; (b) the structural forces of our world, and the Good that we come from, and our inborn enlightenment, create a measurable material fact that each time we harm one another we inject dysfunction into our lives and coexistence so that we lower our collective quality of life and create new social problems.

Isn’t this objectification of people exactly what the “Right” was said to have done to minorities and women in the past? Isn’t this behavior supposed to make us so angry at the Right now that we can’t take them seriously?

So, why is this dehumanization Good now? Because the Left does it? Because it is done now under the “politically correct” template?

If something is Wrong, it is wrong. There should be no Double Standard.

I would propose that this kind of dehumanization is the enemy of the common Good at all times and therefore is never enlightened. I would propose that, if people do it, we should question whether they are actually enlightened.

Why can’t we pick and choose the best from the Right and Left? Why does the hard Left, in particular, fail to see any value in the positions on the Right?

Does the Right truly have nothing of value to offer America any longer? Is it truly composed of nothing but greedy, stupid racists who are no longer entitled to a say in the American direction?

I wish all of life were so simple!

Frankly, I would like to see us mix the social justice and environmental awareness of the Left with the economic freedom and vibrancy of the Right.

Why Am I Assuming to Know Anything about Enlightenment?

I decided to launch into the subject of what enlightenment might be as I have watched the emotion and motivation wound up in Obama’s overhaul of America. There is an assumption on the Left that they are more enlightened than the rest of us, and so they are saving this nation and the world by forcing the rest of us to do what they want to do.

I like a lot of what the Left wants to do, and I like a lot of what the Right wants to do. In plenty of respects, the Left misses enlightenment so badly that it is scary to see how reluctant they are to self criticize, and how they frame the language of our discussion on identifying the common Good.

For example, is it intellectually honest the way the Left objectifies personalities on the Right so that they are diminished and caricaturized to the point that the Left simply laughs at the Right rather than deal seriously with their points, apprehensions and objections?

Is this how the enlightened teach us? Is this how they deal with people who just can’t quite see things their way yet?
