Integrating East and West

Referring back to “Chapter 17 – The Unauthorised History of Human-kind”, we are now in the last phase in forming humanity as Gaia Social Memory Complex, by blending Social Memory Complexes (SMC). For easier reference, we may use the terms “Human Collective Mind” (Planetary scale) comprises of many “Racial or Genetic Mind” (from different SMCs), which in turn also comprises of millions/billions “Individual mind”.

The Harmonic Convergence celebrated on 17^th August 1987, is our last effort to converge the harmonic frequencies of all Social Memory Complexes or Genetic / Racial mind into one harmonious planetary mind – Gaia Noosphere[1], as part of Gaia Biosphere.

From “The Sirian Revelations Series” by Patricia Cori we learn about the blending of four Master Races;

“The Black – Engena (earth), masters of the physical realm, gave you your strength and physical endurance, your procreative force, your survival instinct.
The Red – Atl (water) enhanced your ability to love and feel a kinship with the living beings around you.
The Yellow – Asians (air) provided your enormous ability to reason and communicate their superior intellect, and
The White – Arien consciousness (fire) brought to the seeding the overriding will and the drive to achieve and rise above adversity[2].”

From the last Chapter 18 – The Urantian Experiment story, we learn that our first effort to blend the Urantian SMC with the rest seemed to fail. There are many stories about the global deluge and the reasoning of it, but as we all know, both our advanced civilisations of Atlantis and Lemuria are wiped off the planet and humanity has to restart from scratch.

We have learned that the three main factors leading to human extinction at the time of Atlantis were; Commercialism, Militarism and Mentalism, which has been developed to an unrestrainable and menacing viewpoint and used for the annihilation of life. And we seem to repeat that tragedy unless we change our way of behaving.

There were two distinct characteristics between Caligastia in Western Hemisphere – from Atlantic to Persia and Vanu in Eastern Hemisphere from India to Lemuria, is that The West is on “The Path of Separation”, while the East is on “The Path of Unity”. With a certain generalisation, this East and West polarisation seems to last throughout human history until today.

This last stage of blending/harmonising seems to be the most difficult one. However, looking at it with a different light, we might see the pattern of the Human Evolutionary Phases, whereas right now we have reached our turning point at the bottom in the drawing below.

On our descending arc – The Involution Phase, we are on The Path of Separation. Extremely speaking, each of us is for our self, separated from and against everyone and everything else – individualism. To survive, we need to first ‘serve our self’ – “Service-to-Self” out of necessity. The Law of The Jungle – “The Survival of the fittest” apply, where we need to compete against each other to survive. Keyword: We need to control everything and everyone else.

Hence, we need the power to overpower others in our competitive games. If we don’t feel strong enough, we need to band together with like-minded others and form a gang, a tribe, a nation or even Alliances of Nations (i.e. NATO) with the most powerful at the top. This resulted in a continuous battle for power and war until the ‘pecking order’ is established in a Hierarchical power structure. It can be seen from tribal groups to little European Kingdoms including The Roman Empire in the Western Hemisphere to the current Anglo-American Empire trying to achieve or maintain its Global Hegemony.

This time around we seem to be more successful than our Atlantean predecessor. Since the explosions of nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, we have slowly turned ourselves around from our descending arc towards total annihilation onto the evolutionary Phase, as result of our last Experiment described in Chapter 16 – The Experiment.

Virtue for Harmony instead of Power for Hegemony.

Meanwhile, on the Eastern Hemisphere, the remnant of the Lemurian SMC is trying to seed a different kind of civilisation. About 1000 BC, King Wen of Zhou (1152–1056 B.C.), a Count from the Shang Dynasty, was known as the Civilising King for ruling by means of moral virtue and kindness. He taught the people to be honest, virtuous, and respectful to God/Heaven. He often said: “The king shall rule the people with benevolence, officials shall manage the people with care, children shall respect their parents with filial piety, parents shall raise their children with love, and the people shall associate with one another in good faith.”

His son, King Wu, defeated the last King of Shang and founded the Zhou Dynasty. He then honoured his father as the first King of Zhou posthumously.

The Zhou created the Mandate of Heaven: the idea that there could be only one legitimate ruler of China at a time, and that this ruler had the blessing of the gods/heaven. The Mandate of Heaven did not require a ruler to be of noble birth and had no time limitations. Instead, rulers were expected to be good and just in order to keep the Mandate. Further down the track, the understanding of this Mandate of Heaven is to maintain harmony between Earth, Humanity and Heaven.

The Zhou Dynasty ruled China for 800 years, the longest-lasting of ancient Chinese dynasties (1046-256 BCE)[3].

During the 800 year Zhou Dynasty, the most influential minds in the Chinese intellectual tradition flourished. Many of the ideas developed by figures like Lao Tsu, Confucius, Mencius and Mozi, who all lived during the Zhou period, would shape the character of Chinese civilisation up to the present day.

About a thousand years later, during the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907) China reached her Golden Age. It is regularly cited as the greatest imperial dynasty in ancient Chinese history. It was a golden age of reform and cultural advancement, especially in poetry and painting.

The second emperor, Taizong (626-649 CE) is held up as an exemplary ruler who reformed the government, social structure, military, education, and religious practices. Under Taizong’s successor, Gaozong (649-683 AD), the country experienced further reforms when Gaozong’s wife, Wu Zetian (624-705 AD) took control of the government. Wu Zetian is China’s only female ruler, and even though she is still seen as a very controversial figure today, her reforms laid the foundation for the later success of the great emperor Xuanzong (712-756 AD). Under the reign of Xuanzong, China became the most prosperous country in the world.

Under Xuanzong’s reign, the Tang Dynasty began its golden age. Under Taizong and Wu Zetian, Buddhism was elevated as the most popular religion in the country, but Xuanzong saw Buddhist teachings as lacking in spirituality and so promoted Taoism and even decreed that “a copy of the Tao Te Ching be kept in every household”. Buddhism had given rise to many different schools of thought, but Xuanzong felt Taoism was a unifying belief which would promote greater harmony.

Xuanzong abolished the death penalty, improved the economy through security on the Silk Road, maritime trading, and financial reforms, constructed temples and administrative complexes, built roads, and increased industry. He reorganised the military so that farmers were no longer conscripted against their will and he built a professional army of veterans, who were more effective in guarding the borders and reclaiming land from nomadic tribes.

Xuanzong was a cultured man, a poet, who patronised the arts and encouraged creative expression. Over 50,000 poems, plays, short stories, and other literary works were produced during the Tang Dynasty, mainly under Xuanzong’s reign, and an encyclopedia was completed. Woodblock printing, which began on a large scale under Taizong, was improved, and more books became available which led to greater literacy and better jobs for the lower classes since they were now eligible to take civil service exams for government jobs. Public libraries were built to collect all the books in print, and calendars were able to be printed for wide distribution. Advances in medicine, such as recognised symptoms of a disease and how to treat them, were available now outside the medical profession through books which also suggested preventative habits and promoted diet as contributing to a person’s health.

The Tang Dynasty also invented gunpowder, waterproofing, fireproofing, gas stoves, and air conditioning. They developed agricultural machines to speed up the processes of planting, irrigating, and harvesting crops. The poor, who used to wear mainly animal skins, could now afford the linen worn by the middle class; though the material the poor could buy was coarser. The quality of life for the people of China improved radically, and the increase in trade brought new ideas, inventions, and products in greater numbers than ever before.

The Tang Dynasty was at its height when Xuanzong began his personal decline which led to the fall of the entire dynasty and plunged the country into chaos. Through some rebellions, The Tang Dynasty finally ended in 907 AD, and China plunged into Chaos known as the period of The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms for about 50 years until the rise of the Song Dynasty in 960 AD[4].

The Song (aka Sung) dynasty ruled China from 960 to 1279 CE with the reign split into two periods: the Northern Song (960-1125 CE) and Southern Song (1125-1279 CE). The Northern Song ruled a largely united China from their capital at Kaifeng, but when the northern part of the state was invaded by the Jin state in the first quarter of the 12th century CE, the Song moved their capital south to Hangzhou. Despite the relative modernisation of China and its great economic wealth during the period, the Song court was so plagued with political factions and conservatism that the state could not withstand the challenge of the Mongol invasion and collapsed in 1279 CE[5].

Amongst the academics studying the history of China, there is an intriguing question known as “Needham Puzzle”, namely “Why the Industrial Revolution Did Not Originate in China?” During the Tang and Song Dynasty, almost every element that economists and historians usually considered to be major contributing factors to the Industrial Revolution in late eighteen-century England also existed in China.

On the Exoteric (outside/surface) view, we may say that they have not invented the steam engine to replace manpower because there was enough manpower in China. Beneath the surface, we could also say that the Chinese motivations in those days were different from the Westerners/British. The same background may also be applied for the development of Chinese New-Science (known to the West as “Neo-Confucianism”) as opposed to Western Science.

Instead of approaching the material world with the detached objectivity of the modern scientific method, the Neo-Confucians understood themselves to be part of the “li”[6] they were investigating, and as such their motivation is not the motivation of modern science.

On the Esoteric side, they produced “The Eight Immortals”, who had transcended the human state to become endowed with divine and supernatural attributes or powers.  Each immortal is endowed with a power that can give life or help their fight against evil.  Most of the Eight Immortals were born during either the Tang or Song Dynasties and venerated by Taoists and became popular in Chinese culture.

The Eight Immortals are He Xiangu, Cao Guojiu, Li Tieguai, Lan Caihe, Lü Dongbin, Han Xiangzi, Zhang Guolao and Zhongli Quan. However, besides those eight who were captured in history, many others have also reached their level of spirituality – as True Men (Zhen Ren), known in the West as Ascended Masters including Master Liu – my guide, and Master Tan – my ancestor.
