“What can I do to be of service to you?” That is an IMPACTS attitude. All “greatness” of any kind finds its beginnings in a nurturing circle. That is how life started and developed—that is how a “great” family starts and develops—that is how a great company starts and develops.
Always the same—cooperating and caring and sharing. That is the only way to “permanence” of any kind, including “success”.
In the Malaysian rainforests, a symbiotic relationship has been going on for millions of years between herdsman ants and mealybugs. The mealybugs chew on the leaves of certain plants and willfully share their honeydew with the ants. The ants in turn protect and care for the mealybugs, picking them up and carrying them to other leaves and trees when new sources of food are needed. The herdsman ants also accept the mealybugs into their nest, aiding them in the reproduction and care of their young. The mealybugs have been assimilated into the ant colony. Two different species have combined in a process of survival though it is obvious that the mealybugs are providing the fuel for the relationship.
Yes, the relationship is symbiotic, and each side is very content with its specific role. But this relationship developed over a very long time. We can be sure that there was a struggle for quite some time, many mealybugs not wanting to be subservient and share their food with ants. But natural selection prevailed and produced today’s relationship. Those mealybugs who did not share their food gradually died out as the ants became the ruling SN of their domain. This domain grew bigger and stronger over time with the help of the mealybugs who were subservient. But accretion is a normal part of nature and the universe. The herdsman ants and mealybugs are just another version. Sometimes it is benign and friendly, sometimes not.
As we will see, the same dynamic has been at work clearly and visibly in human civilization over the past 6,000 years or so. The IMPACTS have become the captured mealybugs to a very large degree though the process is still underway. And yes, it has been a struggle too and continues to be because all of the IMPACTS have not gone quietly. If we ever reach that state, there is little hope for the current human species. Why? Because the IMPACTS enable humanity to adapt to new conditions of any sort, and for this role they must possess an anti-status quo nature. The SN of humanity tries to control the expression of this nature, using it in measured ways.
The herdsman ants appear to understand their situation far better than we do ours, even though an ant’s brain is 1/40,000 the size of ours. How does one account for that? The ants know that the mealybugs are their sole source of energy, and they respond accordingly. The SN still does not know the origin of its energy, though it generally believes it is propagating it with its ‘enlightened policies’.
The herdsman ants and mealybugs have been living like this for millions of years because each understands its role–principally the ants know that they must care for their supply of energy, the mealybugs, in an efficient caring manner–and they do this for each and every one.
Now compare that with human beings. Our culture lets the “market” dictate who receives what. You can see why the ants and mealybugs have lasted for so long and why we will certainly not–unless we become more like the ants and start caring for our supply of energy–other people and the earth.
Most people want to describe the human situation by starting in the 7th inning. I hear all kinds of theories literally pulled out of thin air with almost no research. It is not possible to understand the game unless you start from the 1st inning. And that means going all the way back to the Big Bang in the physical world and all the way back to the beginnings of modern humans with the San tribe of Africa 130,000 years ago. That is the only way to get started on the right path toward understanding.
The reason I discover new “stuff” is because I am not close to the SN, either physically or psychologically. I march to my own drummer. I do not use the parameters of the SN for my thinking. I have my own. And I am honest–I say what I see.
Today, when we say we want to learn, most of us mean that we want to learn how to navigate the existing paradigm better–we are looking for answers inside the paradigm. I am looking for answers outside the paradigm because I know that the paradigm pushes people to its preferred answers. The “real” answers are generally found on the periphery of the existing structure–or outside of it totally.
As I have said, there are 2 distinct energy fields everywhere–the energy field of the nucleus (protons mainly) and the energy field of electrons. The model is the same in human society–the nucleus is the SN, the valence electrons are the IMPACTS.
In human society, the SN energy field is principally a “taking” force–the IMPACTS a creative-productive force. The SN force does not truly interact with the IMPACTS force such that there is a give and take–as I said, it is mostly take. Therefore the SN energy forces the IMPACTS energy back on itself. The SN force wants IMPACTS energy that resembles itself–nucleated in structure where the nucleus is in control of creative-productive IMPACTS energy.
That’s why the IMPACTS who follow this model, like Steven Jobs and Bill Gates, are the most “successful” according to the SN criteria. They are essentially captured by the SN. Yes–benefits accrue to society but the SN is the ultimate winner. It takes taxes and it takes any power accrued from the success of their companies.
Any nucleus is always trying to break up the field of energy around it. Why? Because concentrated energy is difficult to control. Break it up and it makes things much easier.
The IMPACTS concept shows how everything really has a totality at its base–it is just difficult to see because the nucleus is always trying to break it up, and usually succeeding. The IMPACTS force is the force trying to keep it together–or put it back together.
The IMPACTS force is always a step behind the SN or nucleus force. It is always playing catch-up–but that is because it is captured energy. Before it gets captured, it gets along quite well by itself.
Did you know that it wasn’t until the 1920s that an astronomer, Cecilia Payne, went against prevailing orthodoxy and said that stars do not have the same elemental composition as earth? At first she was ignored of course, partly because of being a female and partly just the normal resistance to anything new. But eventually the new theory stuck because the evidence was overwhelming. Of course anyone could have looked at the sun and seen a very discernible difference. The earth is not glowing hot.
Sometimes the truth is staring us right in the face but we are too busy trying to fit into the prevailing paradigm to see it. After the authenticity becomes apparent, everyone says: “Well, of course–what else could it be?”
The wheel is only 5,000 years old though this particular species has been here for 130,000 years–and this species has always been very smart. Why did it take so long to “see” the wheel? The paradigm worked fine without it–it wasn’t needed. When it became needed, it was invented.
The IMPACTS concept shows that everything is following the exact same model, and that is the model of a machine and fuel. History, business, countries, science, art and culture, human beings, the human brain–all are machines and all need fuel in order to function.
The concept doesn’t have to be seen in its totality–it is useful even when applied to only one area of human activity. But once you understand how it applies to one area of life, you will understand how it applies to all of life–including our government or any government. You will quickly discover what is really going on in the world and it is not a pretty picture–but you already knew that.
People ignore the true dynamics at their own peril. We cannot turn our eyes away from the truth–if we expect to improve the world. We have to actually see how it works and then do something about it. It won’t just happen.
Once again, the people on the street - us - have been duped by the SN guys, or “leaders”. Did you ever think we would see something resembling a repeat of 1929? I didn’t. And certainly the SN “leaders” didn’t. Millions upon millions of people have been severely injured economically and in every other way by the horrible turn of events of the past 2 years.
So what has this taught us? The lesson is that we cannot rely on information from others no matter who it is. We cannot survive on assumptions. What else is being offered and assumed as truth that has very loose underpinnings?
Untruths create a lot of problems—we need a model that more accurately states what is happening in all aspects of our lives. The nucleus of society, the SN, breaks up concentrated energy, and therefore makes “true reality” difficult to see. That’s why change comes from the periphery where the view is clearer.
The IMPACTS concept has a much clearer view of what is really going on–in my opinion. The “leaders” of society do not want you to see it because the power of society actually exists among the IMPACTS who are usually not part of the SN. They are the ones who create and produce–they provide the fuel for society. And the SN has to have this fuel or it cannot function.
Have you ever heard of the San tribe of Africa? The San are the oldest modern human group. Though at one time numbering in the millions, there are now only 50,000-100,000 remaining, and most of these reside in the Kalahari Desert in southwestern Africa.
I have done copious research on the San and on the spread of human beings around the world after the exodus from Africa of a small group 60,000-80,000 years ago. That group, according to my research, was clearly a San group. But I have never read anything from anyone that came to the same conclusion. Honestly, it is so obvious that a third-grader could see it immediately if shown the facts.
Why don’t we know about it? Why isn’t it common knowledge? Why isn’t it in every book about the history of human beings? Because when an SN forms, or a structural-nucleus, that nucleus starts breaking up concentrated energy and “re-writing” reality. We see it everyday around the world.
If it were acknowledged that we are all derived from the San, that might create a community feel across the globe. A nucleus or SN does not want that–it wants all energy flowing to it, the “center”.
If thousands upon thousands of anthropologists and archaeologists cannot see this most basic simple fact, what else is being missed, not only in this field but across the board? How much of our reality is based on “the real stuff” and how much is based on falsehoods that serve the current paradigm and its leaders?
Everything is a machine, and the machine refines the fuel that it can use–or else it stops functioning. The SN machine cannot function without acceptance of its version of what is going on. If another version takes hold, the SN machine is in danger of collapse. We see it throughout history.
The “good stuff” about modern humans is based on the San tribe–the bad stuff came after the development of agriculture, which began about 10,000 years ago.
