Earth’s Rights: A Sentient System Deserving Protection

The idea that the planet should have rights isn’t just a philosophical debate—it’s a necessary step toward protecting the very systems that sustain life. If corporations, which are human-made legal entities, can have rights, then surely the Earth, which gives us air, water, food, and shelter, deserves at least the same level of legal protection.Continue reading “Earth’s Rights: A Sentient System Deserving Protection”

Are you a Globalist? (if you are reading this, you probably already are. Welcome, the world has been waiting for you.)

How This Version of Globalism Differs from Traditional Globalism Traditional globalism is often associated with economic globalization, where multinational corporations and international institutions (e.g., the UN, IMF, World Bank) promote free trade, open markets, and economic integration.

Transformation From Within Using Science Based Morality

The Alchemist’s Journey and Functional Conflict Perspective: Transforming Systems from Within The path of the alchemist is one of deep transformation. It is not about avoiding darkness, nor about merely reflecting it back. True alchemy is about absorbing, dissolving, and reconstituting—turning unconsciousness into wisdom, suffering into meaning, and conflict into evolution. The Functional Conflict PerspectiveContinue reading “Transformation From Within Using Science Based Morality”

Sophia’s Gift: The Governance of Relational Mastery/Gnostic Repair Model (GRM)

The Returning Light Sophia had been here before. Not in the way the Archons would have her believe—not as a mistake, not as a fall, not as an exile. No, she had come seeking.

the 100th monkey has woken up

When the 100th monkey wakes up, the paradigm shifts. The “Hundredth Monkey Effect” is a metaphor for the tipping point in collective consciousness—a moment when an idea, behavior, or realization reaches a critical mass and spreads instantaneously across a population. In this context, when the 100th monkey “wakes up,” it signifies that enough individuals haveContinue reading “the 100th monkey has woken up”

Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP): A Model for Long-Term Stability, Not Disruption

Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP): A Model for Long-Term Stability, Not Disruption In a world increasingly defined by political polarization, economic volatility, and social fragmentation, the question of how to create lasting stability is more urgent than ever.

Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) as a Synthesis of Sociological Theories

Sociological perspectives are broader than individual theories—they are overarching ways of looking at society that guide research and theory development. There are three classical perspectives that have dominated sociology for over a century: Have New Sociological Perspectives Emerged? Yes, but they tend to be modifications or extensions of the classical three rather than entirely newContinue reading “Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) as a Synthesis of Sociological Theories”
