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!
