THE SOCIAL INVENTION CALLED

A S C E N S I O N D A Y


THIS IS AN EFFORT TO WRITE A PROTO-MYTHOLOGY
THAT
WOULD ALLOW FOR THE PLANET OCEANIA (NOW EARTH) TO SMOOTHLY
TRANSITION TO GLOBAL PEACE
AND TRIUMPHANTLY
EXPERIENCE THE CHANCE TO BE A MEMBER OF THE GALACTIC FEDERATION
THAT THEN TO
FOLLOW WITH A PROGRAM OF GALACTIC ASSISTANCE THAT WOULD
DEFANG THE
POWER STRUCTURES PRESENTLY STUCK IN INDUSTRIAL MODE HERE AND
MOVE THE PLANET
TO A NEW UNIFIED INTERNET CONFEDERATION
WITH EFFICIENT BIOREGIONAL ZONES
THAT CO-CREATE
BEAUTIFUL, LOVING, PLAYFUL CULTURES PLANETWIDE, SO THE LIFEFORCE
OF THE
PLANET AND ALL ITS SENTIENT CREATURES CAN ARISE TO SUPER HEALTHY
AND SUSTAINABLE LEVELS EVERYWHERE.
WE CHOSE TO BE GRATEFUL FOR THE INDUSTRIAL AGE THAT CONNECTED
US ALL
BUT ARE CLEAR THAT IT WAS A BOOSTER ROCKET TO GLOBAL UNITY
AND A LIFE FOR ALL THAT APPROXIMATES PARADISE
WE SHALL REJOIN NATURE WHERE SHE THRIVES
IN CONGRUENT GEOLOGICAL BIOREGIONS
LAUNCH THE CALL WENT OUT TO CHOOSE THE WORD ALOHA FOR OUR
PLANETARY SALUTATION
​
It was the call of respect and love from the kingdom of Hawaii… it wasn't
clear which of the four Hawaiian indigenous factions may have begun the
event . It didn't matter. But a video appeared one day on YOUTUBE that
invited the world citizenry to accept the gift of "Aloha" from the island
cultures now deeply imbedded in the Central Pacific Islands. Maybe the
demand for "peace" had finally given the world a nudge ….now with the
term "Pacific".
The call was an offer to use specifically the word "Aloha" with it's
attending meanings and peaceful tone as the new planetary salutation for
hello and goodbye and all the nice places in between. They also offered
the title "Oceania" as the name we should accept for our planet. "Terra
Nova" would suffice for the remaining land mass, This was since it was
obvious a water planet that we had all inherited. Certainly the Galaxy
would see us as a sphere of mostly water.
A carved wooden crest had been fashioned at ARTESIA a botanical oasis
designed to collect and grow Planetary social architects, they helped
single out the planet's oceanic and primal iconic identity. It was loaded
with symbolic oceanic themes. One clearly important idea transmitted
along with this invocation was that people from all over the world had
already chosen to make a pilgrimages to this the center of the Pacific and
now Hilo, the small capital of the Big Island called Hawaii, itself was a
bioregion that was arguably the most poly-ethnic place on the planet now
called Earth. The Island, Hawaii, also represented most of the climactic
regions and stood distinctly upon the largest mountain mass on this planet
Oceania. It was from the bottom of the sea a three sided pyramid
(tetrahedron) over five miles high. King Kamehameha I (the first) had
unified the polynesian voyagers who followed the ancient myth of Hawa
iki to the big island. The EuroNesians starting two continents and two
oceans away took longer but finally assembled here as well. The fine mix
was now complete. The cultural mix really did most ideally represent the
whole world. A an image of paradise it was a good place to create the
mythology and new center of Oceania.
The islands were protected from undue influence by nearly 3,000 miles of
raging ocean all around. No contiguous neighbors were . Historically
speaking, King Kalakaua, the merry monarch, was the second global
monarch to sail around the planet earth. The setting, the people, the
climate, the foundation, the culture, and the fact that fresh earth was also
pouring up from the core of the earth to continue to build this place was
also extremely auspicious. The Hawaiian culture with it's heart in dance
and song was a favorite of the planet. It was a culture known for it's
singular focus on caring for the Earth. As Long ago LONO, the GOD of the
Harvest, had offered PEACE, PLENTY<,AND PLAY as the hallmarks of living
inside the natural world. How many industrial age cultures could dare
come close to that almost paradisiacal trio of values. The state motto
that the land should be forever held in righteousness was so right for a
planet that was environmentally coming apart at the seams. The
hawaiian consummate focus on the holy value of the land and its future
are both sentimental and righteous reasons to model a world culture on
such values whether they be mostly metaphorical or not.
Now it is clear the Hawaiians who have persisted as a nation and whose
rights were illegally plundered have received the recognition from that the
take-over was illegal. Culturally they are on sound ground and have asked
to make it possible for them to independently peruse their cultural destiny
and that has been so granted.
Slowly but steadily the Aloha idea reached the people of Earth. Then one
day a flotilla of international ships arrived at the shoreline off Kona Kailua.
The ocean going ships from around the planet very carefully created a
circle and made no communication with the world. Who were these
people in ships? What was their intension? Then on cue each ship would
in turn execute a 21 gun salute at sunset. The images were sent to the
global press without comment. People everywhere were puzzled by the
event. Interest grew, rumors flew, but the vibe remained serene and
slightly royal.
A Hawaiian processional was observed and also videos coming down the
slopes of Mauna Kea. Hundreds of Lei drenched men and women, children
and animals reverently defended the slopes with a general direction aimed
at the now growing array of interest whirring around the valley below
both tall volcano's. People were arriving with picnics and tents to get a
closer look at this unfolding mystery …for that is what it was designed to
be.
When the last ship to fire was about to start their volley, a flight of
international Jet fighters came streaking through the valley between
Mauna Kea an Mauna Loa. After 13 passes a wing shaped formation of
flying saucers they took the opportunity to hover over the ships at sea.
The flight patterns were the same. Graceful and unassuming. Were they
ours??? The interest grew and journalists with cameras arrived on the big
island. When out of nowhere ….
A long continuous sound was heard and finally coming into view was a five
mile long triangular spaceship with loud speakers playing harmonious
anthems announced in five languages that the galactic federation had
arrived.
The ship stayed airborne on the ridge line above the Kona-Wiamea
highway. Broadcasts of this event then popped on to screens all over the
world. Television cameras watched a smaller escort ship come from the
large craft, it flew into the large crater on Mauna Loa, the crest created
for "Oceania" was carefully laid into the crater. Galactic anthems mixed
with our own best and most majestic symphonies. Beings from over a
dozen other star systems each brought a crest from their world.
Somehow camera crews strategically placed pumped all the world a clear
feed of this series of events to the planetary news feed. Then back to the
Hawaiians coming into view.
Finally after world interest had peaked on the auspicious day of
__________ the feed opened with a view of an exquisite_______ temple.
It seemingly came from the bowels of the great galactic ship. A council
of elders of the six galactic star systems assembled quietly in the council
space. For those who knew they were described as those who had come
back to earth for this final moment. They had been friends with earth for
millennia including the very tall Agarthans who flew the saucers up from
the middle of the earth.
Then a global representation of all the four branches of service appeared
around the temple . Soldiers, sailor, airmen, and marines.. They stood on
cue and two members a royally dressed man and a woman from the
Galactic Federation of Stars entered the council center with their entire
family of children and pets and took the two remaining booths.
A large scroll began to roll behind the circle of allies…. the proclamation of
unity for the earth as now qualified to be a newly accepted member of the
galaxy. All attending stood and clapped. smiled and joyously greeted each
other. As the scroll continued scenes from each star system and central
sun were then paraded by. An inset map then aggregated each set of stars
and planets on a larger map. The last set of images were from our other
earth based players Agartha those who are roughly 14,000 years older and
more settled than we surface dwellers. They were announced as our new
partners in the recovery of the Earth's biosphere. The various star systems
each pledged special assistance to the global military forces on the day
they became a Unified Global Bioregion Recovery Force. Each branch of
service would recover a corresponding part of the planet that they were
accustomed to occupying. Nations were advised to relax their territorial
borders and henceforth all earth people would consult the worldwide web
for the resource sharing they needed support with. There was not to be a
single government but rather a unified open network for the self-
management of planetary affairs on Oceania.
The occasion became a bonded statement of intent between the military
Forces of the planet and the Galactic Federation.. so that …as the
recovery of the biosphere was underway ….the needed tools, power and
seeds management was delivered with precision from our new neighbors.
All seed bearing efforts would shift to the college campuses where the
global seed network was anchored.
It was clear that if the new bioregions were not created, then the galactic
supply effort would be concluded. Key coordinators would convene on
Hawaii Island to collaborate on operating both independently and
together.
The Armed Forces Environmental Command Team revealed it’s planning
intentions and methods. Illustrations aired a film showing high school kids
working with soldiers planting trees and recovering noxious plants. Other
solutions based videos were released to youtube and other service
providers.
In the accompanying days the other service providing communities
including primary schools, middle schools, college students and veterans,
elders and other elements like homeland security were introduced with
roles to play in the recovery. The current economy was to be protected
for 5 years until the new regional based economies were intended to kick
in. A new global Crop Intelligence Agency was created for global best
practices to be exchanged.
Soon it was announced that the young wildcrafter generations would begin
the activation stage where young people were empowered to report on
the wild crafting experiences they were having resettling the natural
frontiers that remained untouched. National lands are granted for settling
and the adventurous cohort has the blessing to so act. Many of them
were to re- settle on small farms and start new communities. The elder
small farmers would hand off their fields to support these new
encampments.
The grander events would continue to be televised by funded teams and
homeland security forces of each nation who would then supervise the
exchange of great ideas. They would also help the elders work to beautify
their global villages.
The cities would convene experts on growing up green! Buildings will be
removed to open paths for agro forests. Special projects will be funded to
grow urban forests. There was to be a grand event to celebrate the first
100 millionth tree planted. All large manufacturers will shift to create
small scale farm vehicles and a new breed of tough hand tools. Fashion
houses would bring on the WILDCRAFTER line of farm and work clothes.
Sneakers will be made tougher, adding work soles to the look. Musicians
will be commissioned to create call and response work music for all kinds
of planting and harvest needs. And so the days went on till…………….. the
transition to the galactic family was complete …the remnants of national
governments were transitioned to bioregions where laws would then be
rewritten fresh to serve the particulars of each bioregional character. and
the young people were busy on the frontiers designing an entirely new
kind of local trade economy with food independence and seed controls. If
it happens right …the transitions will be accepted like a spring rain ….
peace, plenty, and play will then drive the world of Oceania. This is
social architecture at its finest!
