Self-esteem develops gradually through productive effort and life experience. The more effort we put into life, the greater our self-esteem becomes in the end. We learn from our mistakes and we learn from our successes. We develop our self-esteem by reaching out and trying to grasp our dream and make it come real. When we help others achieve their dreams that helps our self-esteem grow stronger as well. This creates a win-win environment with tremendous creative potential to benefit all of society! This cannot be stressed strongly enough. When we support the efforts of others our own efforts are enhanced as well.

It is much easier to destroy or ridicule the creative efforts of someone else then it is to create something of our own! This creates fake self-esteem! It’s not real and it not only hurts us, it hurts society as well because it is destructive! Destruction leads to destruction and supports destruction. Creative acts lead to more creative acts and support even greater creative acts by others.

This is what life boils down to! Creation or destruction! How do you get your self-esteem?

Within the human collective only the lowest common denominator things are recognized. Anything that makes a person different or special is ignored, not only ignored, but suppressed. That is why it is so ironic that identity politics are so closely tied to the liberalist agenda. They are actually working against each other! What seems to be happening is that special interest groups are trying to enforce their views and their agenda on the public at large. That will never work!

To be a part of humanity requires nothing special from us. We all belong as equals. There is no recognition of individualism or separateness. Identity politics on the other hand are defined by how they separate and alienate one special interest group from the rest of humanity. The goal of identity politics is to enforce that separateness, think about it!

So the human collective has a natural bias against identity politics and special interest groups. In fact, identity politics and special interest groups are not simply struggling to exist against other special interest groups that oppose them, but they are struggling to exist against the will of the human collective as well!

The human collective says let’s pass a law to make things more equal! Identity politics and special interest groups say let’s pass a law that benefits us! The human collective says let’s be more tolerant of everyone. Identity politics and special interest groups say everyone needs to be more accepting of us! But we don’t need to be more accepting of them!

The only thing these two forces agree upon is that spirituality is an individual thing that must be ignored at all costs and that material possessions and wealth are not spread around equally enough. How interesting that wealth, material possessions and spirituality belong only to individuals! And with this we find the key. The human collective and identity politics with its special interest groups both radically deny individual rights in favor of collective or group rights. They all work to supress the individual!

The individual’s personal self will is a threat so they pass laws that take away free will, laws that are backed up with force or threat of force. The individual’s personal property is a threat as well so they use taxation to take the wealth and material possessions of one group and spread it more evenly among the general population. In the end the individual is left with only their own thoughts, ideas and beliefs.

So every individual opinion must be abolished or made into a politically correct collective opinion. An individuals faith, religion, thoughts and ideals cannot be tolerated and must be replaced with politically correct logical and rational humanitarian ones. All must be subordinate to the human collective!

But that doesn’t work for identity politics and special interest groups! They are using the banner of global collectivism to move their own separate agenda forward. They are trying to control the human collective by controlling politically correct thoughts and ideas. They are trying to make their own group the human collective group. It will never happen.

While this is a small snapshot of how things are, it is not complete. Identity politics and special interest groups are caught in the middle between the power of the human collective and the power of the individual. Individuals have always exerted more influence on the eventual outcome of events than identity politics, special interest groups and the human collective combined! This is the time of individuals! This is the time when the human collective realizes that it’s physical body has been taken over by individuals! There are interesting times ahead! Interesting times for true individuals!

In one of my last posts I spoke about educational Freedom and how the holy Catholic Church was the sole authorized distributor of knowledge and literacy from the dark ages into the beginning of the modern scientific age. This was true for Western Europe.

The church no longer holds that absolute position thanks to the Protestant rebellion and movements like Rosicrucian-ism and Freemasonry. These organizations taught higher philosophical concepts and universal truths to the common person through a series of dramas or initiations and a type of oral learning. The candidate did not need to be literate to learn.

At its height Freemasonry could claim a lodge in almost every community in the Western world. This held true even when the holy Catholic Church persecuted it as heresy. It offered an alternative voice that offered freedom and personal expression in a restrictive world of orthodoxy. What they created became known as the scientific method and led to our public educational system. These organizations were always strong advocates of public education.

Times have changed and today’s universities and publishing empires hold the power the church once had. In a burst of irony what once brought freedom now strangles freedom and independent thought. Anyone that has tried to succeed in life without a college education or get a book published knows what I mean. Being successful in today’s world has become more about who you know than how good you are or what you have to offer.

Still, throughout history, even as power was accumulated in the hands of the few and became abused, there has always been a frontier of unregulated freedom where the average person could go to seek their fortune.

When Europe became too oppressive America became the place of personal freedom and opportunity for many of those seeking religious and philosophical freedom.

Now big brother tightens his unrelenting technological fist around our personal lives and the Internet has become the alternative. College degrees are becoming increasingly worthless and people are searching for alternatives.

Instead of spending thousands of dollars on college classes and a lifetime of debt people are learning for free on the Internet. Instead of spending $8.50 for a paperback book, people are finding alternative literature for free on the Internet. This is still in a transitional phase but its effects are being felt around the world.

Advocates of a free Internet have become the Rosicrucians and Freemasons of today’s world. They are still largely unorganized but in the process of drawing together under the umbrella of something called “Organic Gnosticism”. Organic Gnosticism offers hard-core reality in a technological world in combination with spiritual values and global ideals.

It’s initiations include surfing the Internet and learning how to create blogs and personal webpages. It’s social element include chat rooms with people of like interests from around the world. This is truly an international community and a political power in the making.
