Financial Collapse

Saturday, April 18th, 2009 by Dickey Eason

The reason things like the recent financial collapse occur is because the economic system gets away from IMPACTS principles of doing business. These principles are based on integrity, fairness, and transparency. After the fall, the IMPACTS should be consulted about how to put it all on sounder footing, but they rarely are.

The economy will start rising from the ashes when the IMPACTS start feeling that things are going in the right direction. IMPACTS are the canary in the coal mine—they start withdrawing from the economy when they sense trouble. The current recession started in December, 2007 so the IMPACTS have been uneasy for quite some time.

One of the main laws of the universe is the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics which basically states that energy disperses. Life and molecules are victories against the 2nd Law. Our economic system, though it has obvious benefits, also divides people. The IMPACTS try to keep it all together but they can only do so much when excesses get out of control. In a recession, things get even more dispersed—the divide among people grows wider. Now is the time to violate the 2nd Law more than ever and start reaching out to each other and devising ways to help one another.

Ruse

Saturday, April 18th, 2009 by Dickey Eason

When we look at a car engine, most of us think or assume that there is no way we could understand what is going on in there. It just looks too complicated. But that is only because we don’t know how it works.

Who benefits from us not knowing how it works? The auto repair shop that has to fix it when it ceases working correctly.

It is the same in the human world. We look at it and see nothing but complexity. But that complexity is a ruse that results from the way the two major forces in the universe deal with one another. In actuality, the template is quite simple to comprehend. Then all we have to do is fill in the blanks.

What we are being taught and have been taught about how the world works is, to put it impolitely, a scam and a lie. It is nothing like what we have been taught. Actually, it is almost the opposite of what we have been taught.

The haze we see serves one of the two major forces, which is the power-control and status-quo force. The other force is change energy. But as we learn more about how all of it works, the fog can start to lift and the change force in human society can become more ascendant.

Does Anyone Know?

Saturday, April 18th, 2009 by Dickey Eason

Do you ever ask yourself, “Does anyone know what they are talking about?” I certainly do, and often. That is the main reason I got started on my research—I could not find anyone who knew the answers to my questions.

We have to understand—people are formulating their answers to everyday questions in relationship to the paradigm in which they live. It would make no sense from a conservation-of-energy perspective to look elsewhere—unless you were getting results that were not satisfactory. The IMPACTS are the ones who become dissatisfied with the results, look to the periphery, invent the NEW, and then bring it inside—usually. Some IMPACTS just keep their inventions to themselves as we will see with my recently-deceased uncle.

What I have discovered is potentially paradigm-shifting. But it has to be extremely powerful for that to happen. Opportunities to change the paradigm come along very infrequently. This information is powerful enough to possibly make it happen.

On another note, my uncle, Archie Davis, died a couple of days ago. He was 88. Archie was a mechanical genius but the world will never know about it. Archie was a regular “country boy” who was very suspect of “city ways” so he would never have tried to make any of his inventions into commercial applications or seek patents for any of them. He just did it for his family and friends.

I remember as a kid that our family and relatives always had a lot of butterbeans to shell since we all had fairly large backyard gardens. Archie grew tired of all the unnecessary work and invented a butterbean-shelling machine. It was beautiful and worked perfectly. If he had had the inclination, it would have been a roaring commercial success. But he just used it around the house.

Archie built his own house, mostly by himself after work and on weekends. He was always crafting something. He was the troubleshooter for the local natural gas company for 40 years or so—he could always figure out the problem and fix it. Archie left a wife of 59 years, Adna, and four beautiful daughters along with several grandchildren.

Archie was one of the IMPACTS people that I write about. Very inquisitive and innovative, he would be the last person to characterize himself as such. He would not take credit for being a creative genius though the proof is there for all to see.

This is the story of human civilization–IMPACTS working away from the limelight, toiling quietly, making sure that everything is precisely taken care of. Without them, there would be no human civilization—not worth living in anyway.

IMPACTS people like Archie keep everything going. Oh, and by the way, Archie came from a family of love and goodness and solid caring for each other. And guess what? Those are the families that produce the innovative IMPACTS–real–honest-to-God-nurturing-and-loving people.

Puzzle

Saturday, April 18th, 2009 by Dickey Eason

Humans can do a much better job of defining what is really going on in the world. Most of us walk around like we are part of a vast puzzle that we have no chance of putting together. In actuality, it is quite simple. We have been led to believe it is out of reach (solving the puzzle). It is not. This website helps bring it all together.

There are 2 main forces in the universe. One of them is against dynamic change—the other is change. The one that is against change is in charge in the human world. That force does not want us to see and understand what is really going on because that would provoke change. It wants to maintain the status quo.

The human world and the physical world are behaving exactly the same. But then – how could they not be?

Agriculture and Consciousness

Saturday, April 18th, 2009 by Dickey Eason

With the advent of agriculture about 10,000 years ago, everything changed in the human environment. Up until that time, a different form of consciousness had existed as opposed to what we have today. Before agriculture a prokaryotic-type of mind and human community structure prevailed. Prokaryotes are one-celled and mostly bacteria. They can share DNA easily with one another so change can come quickly. Such was the case with early humans—there were few walls inhibiting communication and the feeling of togetherness or oneness.

After agriculture, a new kind of human consciousness gradually emerged, one that was more nucleated—like eukaryotic cells which have a nucleus. Information did not flow as easily among people as before and the circular structure of pre-agrarian groups was replaced by hierarchal structures, usually controlled by a ‘strong man’ at the top.

The IMPACTS personality was formed before agriculture and retains many of those characteristics from thousands of years ago. For this and other reasons, IMPACTS often find it difficult to fit in well in today’s hierarchal world.

Second Law of Thermodynamics

Saturday, April 18th, 2009 by Dickey Eason

The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is at the base of reality as we know it. The 2nd Law says that energy disperses. If it is concentrated, it will diffuse if not hindered from doing so.

Chemical bonds hold just about everything on earth together and chemical bonds are formed through the actions of valence electrons.

The IMPACTS are the chemical bonds of human society and civilization. They try to violate the 2nd Law and keep human beings connected. Were it not for the IMPACTS, human society would rapidly diffuse into disconnected oblivion and dissolution.

Politics

Saturday, April 18th, 2009 by Dickey Eason

This is a serious attempt to try to figure out, as much as is possible at this point, why the world works the way it does. Therefore I try to be supremely objective. I have no agenda other than the desire to untangle untruths and discover new ones.

Most authors avoid politics like the plague, seeing it as the kiss of death to their success. But in my opinion I don’t know how you can explain much of anything without including politics. It would be like trying to explain what is happening on earth without mentioning the sun. If everyone was doing the same, a weird kind of coherence would eventually develop. But it would not be accurate—it would only ‘make sense’ within the accepted paradigm—similar to how pre-Copernicus Europe ‘made sense’.

As you read the text you will see that the human world is composed of two major forces just as the atom is made up of two major forces. And not surprisingly, they are the exact same forces. One of those forces—I call it the structural-nucleus or SN—is the controlling energy. The other is the producing energy, the IMPACTS force. You cannot possibly understand the atom without a basic knowledge of protons and electrons. It is the same with human civilization—nothing makes sense without the recognition of the two forces operating among human beings.

One of the problems is that the SN, being the power-control force, would prefer that the other force not figure this out. The SN prefers homogeneity and lack of inquisitiveness. It hopes that people are intimidated into not expressing their anger at obvious injustices. It wants you to be ‘civilized’ while it may not be.

All of this is part of the unspoken contract that we live by every day. We are not supposed to probe too much—we are supposed to defer to those above us.

But I don’t live by that contract. I live by the one that says you should make justice your creed in life. Therefore, much of what I say will not fit into the ‘correct’ political template—which is good. I actually hope that it fits into no political template.

One thing that is imperative in today’s world is that the IMPACTS force must become more assertive, but first we have to understand what is at work. That is what I am attempting to do–help all of us see more clearly what is actually going on. It is not what we have been told or taught. Frankly, it is almost the opposite of what we have been told.

If you want to read something that goes with the flow, this is not for you. But if you like to entertain all options with science as the foundation and are not afraid to encounter another version of the story of civilization and more, I think you might enjoy it. It is not for the status-quo thinker.

As an example–What do you see when you see the photo of a galaxy? You would probably say billions of stars. When I see a galaxy, I see a dynamic at work between two forces—one at the black-hole-center and the other manifested by the stars. I see captured matter and energy. As you read the text, you will see the exact same dynamic operating in human civilization–presently and in the past.

Why the Web?

Saturday, April 18th, 2009 by Dickey Eason

I had planned for the past 3 years to put the results of my research in a book but then I asked myself the question–”What are you really trying to accomplish?”

My answer showed me the path to take. My goal is proliferation and discussion of the ideas–around the world. The web is the most efficient way beyond a doubt. And FREE removes all impediments.

You can read the material online, print it, copy it, share it–whatever you wish. But it is copyrighted and its usage must be attributed to me and The IMPACTS, Smart Choices, Inc.

This is a work in progress and will remain so for a long time because it is the story of human civilization past, present, and future. The IMPACTS Concept is as integral to understanding humanity as electrons are to understanding the atom.

I hope you enjoy the material. It is like studying the atom—it is simple but it is not simplistic. And it is thorough. If you are hoping to find simple answers without doing some background learning or re-learning, you will be disappointed. There is a lot here to digest in order to get a well-rounded picture of what is really going on with human beings, their groupings, interactions, and structures. If you find yourself plodding too much uphill, just look ahead and see if something looks more interesting. There is plenty to choose from.

The IMPACTS Concept will go up first with the Introduction and 5 chapters. Probably in May 2009, I will publish it in book form for those who want to purchase a book. The material will remain on the web for FREE.

Then I will put the Business and Marketing section on the web, then History, and finally Today’s World. All will also be presented in book form.

I will try to answer all questions that are not redundant. My email address is deason@theimpacts.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Thank you for reading about a totally different view of everything. I am confident that it is much closer to the truth than what we now have but of course it will not be long before it too is antiquated.

Ultimately, ideas are judged by their strength to deliver results for humankind–can they be applied in positive ways? Yes, these ideas can change many things about human beings and our organizations but it won’t happen without effort. The ideas have to inspire–they have to move us to action. I think these are powerful enough to do just that.

Question

Saturday, April 18th, 2009 by Dickey Eason

What is the IMPACTS profile based upon?

It is based upon a question: What specifically needs to be done at this critical moment to restore balance and optimize the situation for the well-being of all?

The profile was developed over 100,000 years ago and is the fuel and engine for the human race.

Spin

Saturday, April 18th, 2009 by Dickey Eason

We humans have a habit of putting our spin on just about everything, often with little or no research. But even if we try to investigate the issues, usually we only encounter another person’s spin. We live in a world with millions of self-proclaimed experts and millions of anointed experts, usually anointed by those who are also self-proclaimed or anointed.

Human beings take a top-down approach when viewing the world when everything happens from the bottom-up. That approach is a direct result of the hierarchal structure of the world we have had since shortly after the development of agriculture. Top-down took over from bottom-up, the approach that had existed before agriculture.

Bottom-up is curious and inquisitive–top-down is directive.

The most important element in research or anything else in life is WHY—Why did it happen or why is it happening? Our daily world is almost devoid of WHY as human beings have settled into the DIRECTIVES from above. Even our God is up there in the sky somewhere rather than here on the earth which provides us with much of our sustenance. Before the advent of agriculture, most of the gods were in and on the earth, and many were female.

There is a logical reason for this gods and goddesses paradigm and it goes back many tens of thousands of years to the San tribe of Africa and their shamans.

Most of us just want to be part of the structure that exists in society today. We want to be part of the directive crowd—we want to tell others what is happening, to put our spin on things, usually without ever asking WHY. WHY goes against the dominant energy field which just spins, constantly reinforcing its position of power and control.

WHY is an impediment to the directive-oriented structure. Those who avoid it are rewarded by the existing paradigm. Those who ‘partake’ of it do not fit in and will generally find rough sledding.

I am a WHY person. Therefore I do not fit in too well. If you are not a WHY person, this book will not mean much to you. If you are a WHY person, you should find it very interesting because I asked WHY about everything. I take nothing for granted, including whether God is in the sky or not. Frankly, I think SHE is in the electron.
