Allow me, if you would, to meander through some observations as they arise. Loosely connected, I hope. But just allowing.

Returning to the point I’ve been making about spectrums (or spectra, if you like), (1) I’ve been locating behavior on a spectrum between two extremes – one positive, the other negative – or in the center. And I’ve been playing with the notion ever since.

There are different kinds of spectrums. There are those that measure more and less, yes and no, composition, etc.

I now see that spectrums themselves appear on spectrums.

For instance the spectrum of actions that might be called “polite or decent behavior” in the 1720s would probably be far different than the one that prevails in the 1920s or 2020s. We need to know about the spectrum itself as well as what it measures, its results, etc.

What can a metaphor of spectrums say about human behavior?

I happen to be looking this moment at a flock of geese flying from Stanley Park to the southern shore, Kitsilano.  (Thank you, Michael.) Sometimes they flap their wings; sometimes they coast. Sometimes a few birds begin to leave the flock but the flock ignores them and flies on. Usually the departing birds return.

But occasionally a very strong and determined few break off and head in a different direction and the flock wheels and follows them.

Any flock, I’m saying, will have a spectrum of behavior deemed admirable, acceptable, worthy of imitation, and not. In my view, most of us, much of the time, are calibrating and adjusting our behavior so that we remain in the “safe” zone in the spectrum – we follow the flock – sometimes whether doing so is positive or negative for us.

We may, as lightworkers, locate ourselves on the leading edge, in the center, or in the rear of the flock. In lightworker parlance, these three roles might be wayshower (front), gatekeeper (middle), and pillar (rear).

I’m carried back to the mid-Seventies now, when I first started to look at patterns of human behavior.

When I was just starting out in the study of behavior, back with Eric Berne and Games People Play in the mid-Seventies, human growth and “tell me who you are” (rather than breaking free and “letting it all hang out,” as in the Sixties) became our new “safe zone” or accepted trend.

It represented our complete change of direction, where we hoped to take the flock by what we were doing.  At that time, workshops and encounter groups sprang up. No more dropping out and turning on. We now wanted self-actualization, Self-Realization (2) and we’d travel to India or Japan to find it.

Of course the mainstream media mocked us as “the Me Generation,” as if we were self-indulgent rather than seeking to fulfill the purpose of life, which I submit is to know who we are. (3)

All that was swept away in the jobless recovery to the early 1980s automation-induced recession.

Our conversation again became highly patterned, almost compulsive: two kinds predominated, “I like/I don’t like” and “howdido” [How did I do?].

“I like/I don’t like” seems important in creating or strengthening the social bonds between us. Do we like and dislike the same things? If so, we may get along.

But let me restrict myself here to the second, howdido conversation. We seemed often to have such a chat with our officemates, friends, and family.

It seemed vital in fashioning the permanent story of our behavior – who we’d represent ourselves as being, to others. And who, in our own imagination, we would or had become.

“I said this to Jack and Jack said that. And I replied this. Well, what would you say, eh? How did I do?”

“Oh, dear, you did fine. How could he ever think he could get away with saying something like that to you?”

On and on, day in and day out, we’d get our story to just where we want it to be.

Then once it passed muster and left us in just the right position within the group, we’d lock our story down and from that moment on, “That’s the way it happened.”

Back in those days, I wrote pages of notes on the self-serving bias. (4) Instead of experiencing a flow of love coming up from our hearts which we direct to ourselves, which is what I mean by “loving ourselves,” we settle for being right (power) or looking good (pride) through the use of self-servingness.

We’re the hero in our own write. If things worked out, our input was important if not crucial. If things failed, hey, it wasn’t me.

A person who departs from this way of being risks being deemed “difficult” or “impulsive,” etc., and ultimately ostracized and forgotten.

If you think of our societies as like the flock of geese I’ve been looking at, what turns the flock? Well, watch Donald Trump (5) because he’s turning the flock.

And watch his entire cabinet because they’re all similar leaders. I don’t agree with all they do or say, but I’m content to follow their lead at such a decisive and (r)evolutionary time.

And that extends to their lead with the media, entertainment, the reshaping of our culture, as well as with our politics and economics.

We’re building Nova Earth. Donald Trump’s team is building Nova Earth. BRICS are building Nova Earth. We’re all on the same team, part of the same flock, and on the same path.

Now we’re turning to the Emergency Broadcasts as part of our boot camp. It may be miserable for many people. After it, we hope for a Ring of Fire and relief. (6)

After that, the flock goes off on a brand-new journey. G/NESARA, QFS, QVS, free energy, anti-grav, med beds, all new governance… (7) For us, it’ll be a complete change of direction.

The recession of the early 1980s, with its automation of large swathes of work and resulting jobless recovery, in my estimation, killed the growth movement, as it was designed to do, I believe.

(5) In my view, we can afford to stop thinking of Donald Trump as a conservative. If you’ll allow me to say it, I see him as a reformer (among other things) who’s succeeded in winning over to his vision of change, by one means or another, and with a cast of thousands backing him up, large portions of the world, including their militaries. I don’t agree with him on everything (and I don’t need to) but I’m 100 percent behind him nonetheless.
