The only way we’re going to save the world is if we all participate.
Finally: as written in the stars and foretold for millennia, the human species is thriving in a cooperative society; not in an unachievable utopia but in a protopia through pronoia and spiritual proactivity.
How did it get there? How in the world did it survive the brink of destruction in the 2020s, indicated by the ticking Doomsday Clock and massive civil upheaval, due to spiritually-devoid megalomaniac tyrants destroying life and aiming weapons of total annihilation in a Biblical Armageddon?
Somehow, the gods returned. Heroes rose, alternative systems were developed, collectives ended generational karmic curses, and societies transformed from a predomination of fear & hate to trust & love. Humanity prayed and the divine delivered. World leaders emerged who powerfully embodied both the divine masculine & feminine; who synthesized, curated and effectively conveyed true information in the age of thought-chaos; and who masterfully navigated the world in business, politics and spirituality.
Humanity’s artistic expression has given us hopeful optimism and insightful clues into how we might avoid man-made & natural disaster, and how we may create systems and technology to distribute power & resources and save us from our lower nature. Perhaps Klaatu’s Speech in “The Day the Earth Stood Still” (1951) gives us one such clue: somehow wisely creating a system such as their AI to quell any aggression to hold a global container for harmonious freedom⁰. Charles Hoskinson of IOHK has remarked many times about how creating decentralized systems can “save us from ourselves” in the realms of economy and governance, by both preventing exploitation and incentivizing cooperation.
All technology is double-edged, having potential for either positive or negative impact, and always requiring wise oversight & implementation. From the splitting of the atom came the best yet-developed energy source but also the most terrible weapon. With that frame of reference and others, humanity is now challenged to implement emerging technologies at break-neck speed and in the largest scale yet. Hoskinson articulated the technologies of the 21st century: artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, quantum computing, nanotechnology, synthetic biology, 3D printing, and virtual reality – so much all at once, all with potential for good or evil. ¹
So humanity desperately needs proper leadership from individuals who are heart-centered & spiritually enlightened, and are somehow incredibly able to understand & synthesize a vision for implementing these technologies. Maybe not just individuals, but those supported by decentralized entities comprised of & representing whole communities, in harmony. As Thich Nhat Hanh indicated, that the next Buddha may be a sangha, “it is possible the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community, a community practicing understanding and lovingkindness, a community practicing mindful living. And the practice can be carried out as a group, as a city, as a nation.” ²
Leaders, however, may be necessary in this transition to the so-called Age of Aquarius, or Age of Helpfulness coined by my friend Stanley Pokras of OtherNetworks.org. Much of humanity is operating through deeply embedded myths and traditions perceiving a necessity for a savior, for a lone individual to represent all and royally decree the path forward. Ancient prophecies even foretell of such an individual or small group to be what transitions us from top-down hierarchy to decentralized autonomy.
Agreeing with Henry Miller saying “I am not against leaders per se. On the contrary, I know how necessary they are. They will be necessary so long as men are insufficient unto themselves,“ I think this may be the case.³ I wrote a reflection on a live discussion about Nietzche’s prophesied Übermensch, who is as described above, and my vision for how such a man would exist today in our dire time of need. ⁴
Back to Thich Nhat Hanh’s notion of a sangha, I wrote about how the rise of online sanghas like organizations which meet regularly on live video platforms, such as The Scientific & Medical Network and Humanity Rising via Zoom, and younger self-organizing groups in cryptocurrency circles are becoming this very thing! ⁵ In the physical world, pop-up cities such as Burning Man and Zuzalu are where semi-nomads gather to proliferate soulful living and co-create better realities. ⁶
As for how I, Bruce Dean Robinson (Starlove), helped to usher in this beautiful Golden Age of humanity: through being the very leader I have hinted at in this essay. I have birthed a sort of cathedral, called Starscape, inspiring a model for decentralized communities through Starscape Sangha⁷, inspiring a model for Aquarian-style businesses⁸, and proving my business leadership at scale in multiple domains⁹. By the end of 2024, I will help mobilize at least Americans to massive action to improve their lives, their families, their communities and their natural environments, through technology and thought-leadership.
Embodying my vision for a spiritual, heart-led information curator in this age of misinformation, as of April 2024 I will be in full swing in social media content creation – of podcasts, interviews and various video, through my own independent initiatives and through the New Paradigm Navigators subgroup of The Scientific & Medical Network. Rap music albums are also in production – my soulful way to musically express and connect with some of those in the far reaches of society: American inner-city youth and the like. But wait, there’s more – I had a Moses moment in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado on a spontaneous Spirit-led trip in February 2022, to eventually publish a treatise on humanity & civilization, and propose a charter to replace the UN Charter and outline a multi-decade gamification plan: a voluntary game in which nations would be naturally & significantly incentivized to participate. The greatest game Humanity has ever played.
These seeds were planted by inexplicable divine intervention, from perhaps before my incarnation and throughout my life, and have been blooming since the Aquarius stellium in February 2021. I was just some guy with big dreams and insatiable curiosity but crushed under the weight of substance & video game addition to cope with depression, anxiety, imposter syndrome, aimlessness and lack of guidance. It is only through complete surrender to the numinous and submission as a cosmic vessel through the Universe’s Tao that I am on this destiny. And it is with the crucial support of individuals, organizations and charities – like Suzanne Taylor and her essay contest – that I am able to co-create this better world for all of us. The money from this essay competition would be a divine gift in this massive transition to invest in myself and these projects, which will return a vast wealth of material treasure – but toward the eventual end of wealth inequality.
As my most intense dreams indicated and meditative insights revealed: my awakened purpose is to inspire, connect and coordinate humanity to unite & harmonize on & with Earth before going interstellar; to resurrect the spirit and society of Atlantis through the intersection of high consciousness and high technology. Again, I cannot do this alone. I need friends. I need support.
The only way we’re going to save the world is if we all participate.
