Computised Utopia and the Land of Lost Souls
{Before the end, the humans had become removed from nature and became dependent on the fabrication of material objects. One mechanical creation in particular played a major part in their Armageddon. An object called a computer. In its infancy, this tool appeared to be a major asset to the human race. The transfer of information between people was able to occur very quickly, leaving no borders or boundaries to separate people. It also allowed many options for entertainment. But with time, the humans’ dissatisfaction with the real world gradually gave way to a merging of fact with fiction, where eventually fiction became the reality for many people.}
This paragraph from the book, ‘I Maya’, becomes an introduction to a description of what Maya communicates while in hiding from Evil, that evil that finally was able to manipulate the world into it’s own self destruction.
She will learn that the evolution for humans allowed for both parallel positive and negative paths. In Maya’s world evolution utilised intuitive instincts along with the the development of organic, and more passive technologies rather than those of the industrialised, mechanical world that we live in today. We have evolved through our technological and monolithic religous history to believe we are on a higher lever than the natural world and her laws and that she was something that could be controlled.
Maya learns that humans grew to be over reliant on material objects, and continued to be constantly manipulated by the media and corperations who were successful in moulding them into the type of consumers that these corporations allied with the govenments wanted them to be.
We have developed to become hybrid manifestations of fads and kitch, where the ‘use by dates’ on material objects becomes ever shorter compelling us to buy the latest gadgets which we are led to believe will somehow bring about a personal Utopia that each individual seeks.
Maya uses the word ‘dissatisfaction’ brought about by the over reliance on material culture which leaves the soul starved. The need for we humans to be entertained is something that she will learn to understand as the story develops. Entertainment became the subsitute which distracted humans from the basic realities and simplicities of life where once upon a time ancient wisdom allowed them insight into the richness of meaning and a sense of purpose. It also allows for governments to have breathing space from addressing real concerns of the people that would end up being extremely costly.
What was left in late earths history were hungry souls, where personal cultural identity, a personal sense of ones own history, and the sense of spirutuality in whatever form that may have taken were eroded away and replaced with the hunger for immediate sense gratification.
Maya writes for a possible listener that the computer has its positive functions, the fast global transfer of knowledge became crucial in feeding information in real time of global events that effected them all. This now becomes especially relevent at this time of because of the global discontent where the people in many countries are saying enough to the companies and bankers who have been moulding and manipulating their lives for so long.
The negative consequence of computers and networking has resulted in the death of privacy. The next stage on the minds of the controllers after knowing all about you will be how to re-shape your reality, to gradually take you away from where you are now, to take you to a place that the new corperations create where they can continue to develop ways to gain complete control of you. Once they have taken you to that point you wont mind anymore because you will be conditioned to believe that this is what you have always been searching for. You may be already there now!
Our current form of capitalism can’t be connected with that sweeping word called ‘freedom’, Capitalism in the current form has always enslaved the Western World and the worlds they dominated through making them hungry for more and more material objects.
Protesting is one thing but bringing about positive change for creating a positive future will be another. Once you have the taste for many material objects, it can be difficult to reduce them. One persons idea of having enough to be happy is another persons idea of excess.
To find balance in a more equal world for all would require the end of private ownership of large companies and a mild and user friendly form of International Socialism along with a growing sense and re-connecting with a personal spirituality that can encompass all the ingredients for mutual co-existance which has alluded us so far in our history.
I can imagine a future with more localised Co-operatives, a growth in Vegitarianism resulting from environmental and economic concerns manisfesting itself in the creation of a more passive society; a world where one’s local village will be of more importance than a global economy that dictates that one system can work for all; where trade occurs in local currencies rather than a global mono monetry system that once again enslave the masses to support a wealthy few.
Without this revolutionary/evolutionary outlook, the current protests only become fads themselves. In this scenario, the great orators that sustain control through rhetoric with no substance, the leaders who align themselves with the 1% that supply the finances to keep them in those position of power, these people will then have written the future as described by Maya in the book and as the Roman leaders knew themselves, if the mob can be continuely entertained, they can be distracted from the real issues effecting them, issues for which we would need to finance heavily.
