Post 18 of 20: Spiritual Aspects, Mega Co-op Movement
Q1: Why should YOU LEAD in redeeming the world's 6+ billion mostly 3rd World poor the mega co-op way? A1: The happy reason: Benefits brought by such liberation habit comprise what all humans want: multiple kinds of joys, friendships, wealth, new skills learned, fun adventures, respect, virtuous achievements, inner peace, bonding with friends, spiritual fulfillment, etc. These should all be yours, & more! Experience teaches us: whenever we help someone in need, we feel happy, just as the recipient of our good deed feels happy in knowing that someone cares. Now let's apply some logic here: If we make a lifetime habit out of making hordes of the needy happy (such as religious groups' endless practice of charity), spiritual joys will pile up one after another within our being, with hardly any miseries sneaking in. We will become permanently happy up to the end of our earthly journey. We will be so busy doing good together with masses of friends and allies that misery will rarely visit us. And such visits will be very short indeed, for in times of helplessness, our 'allies for good' will quickly come to our aid bearing emotional help, solutions, goodwill, productive activities and loving care to make us happy once again. Even chronic illnesses become bearable & ignored when one is engaged with numerous friends in appropriate activities to benefit others in even worse conditions. Furthermore, since death cannot change character, our helpful & fulfilled character built up thru habitual good works can only lead to happiness in the afterlife in the company of Divinity and innumerable fulfilled beings. In short, redeeming masses of bottom poor as lifetime habit as part of allied groups is a sure ticket to heaven on earth and thereafter.
A further prospect of earthly happiness is likewise ever-present for us to pluck: joining groups that make a habit of helping the needy thru job-creation. The consequent activities will multiply joys among helper & aided groups as everyone shares in business and social adventures and the resultant wealth they create. The larger the circles of mutual help activities (from farms, factories, offices to neighborhoods, towns and cities to countries and to all mankind largely thru the internet), the deeper the 'inner happiness created within all involved. Job-creation thru the MC Movt. is joys-creating mutual help because the beneficiaries return the favor by helping to create profit which are then shared among investor-job creators as cash or stock dividends. Furthermore, the consequent employed former poor will qualify for State 'free capital' schemes plus social aid (pensions, housing loans, health & educational plans, insurance, etc.) as well as loans for small group businesses that will enable them to become part of the employee-capitalist masses as well. Conversely, 'handout charity' can bring only short joys to recipient poor who consequently feel a sense of self-pity, inferiority & indignity especially when given by rich people with their cars & finery. Job creation however whereby entire communities, nations, governments & peoples participate in business joint ventures that convert recipients into employee-capitalists enhances recipients' dignity, since they return the favor by helping create appropriate profit dividends & spiritual fulfillment among all involved. Adopted by all humanity as a permanent program, the system should end 3rd World poverty in fast-track, geometric manner.
Q2: Why do humans of all races, religions and cultures by nature feel happy when engaged in mutual help? A2: Since humans are part of creation, and creation cannot exist without a Creator, only the Creator could have gifted all humanity with the power to be happy especially when engaged in mutual help. This fact-based logic reveals the Creator's true design for humanity: enable humans to create their own happiness both on earth and in heaven thru lifetime practice of mutual help. Earth therefore does not need to be a fated 'valley of tears' for masses of humans to endure over a lifetime, contrary to many cultural, religious & history-based beliefs. Misery rules humanity not because of 'God's test', or one's cruel fate, or by nature, or as punishment for sins, or the selfishness of elites, or the victories of evil spirits, or human weaknesses, or the long absence of a divine redeemer, or the vagaries of DNA lotteries. Misery is simply any person's inability to make use of his divinely-endowed ethic instincts as 'happiness tools'. World-scale misery is hence the inability of humans to apply their ethic instincts for the benefit of all humanity. Plans for good should not be just for family, clan, tribe, nation, race, political party or other common interest groups. One must measure the potential effects of a plan as beneficial for all mankind, otherwise another option that complies with the ideal should be imagined. World history from ancient to contemporary times report terrible human miseries consequent to groups large & small considering only their group interests as they interact with other groups. Billions of families have suffered wars, slavery, party dictatorships, feudal arrangements, religious & racial conflicts, wealth disparities, extreme poverty & other scourges not because of divine design, punishment or 'test' but due to leaderships advancing only what's good for their groups. Now we must know better.
Our MC Movt therefore targets redemption of the 3rd World's bottom poor out of their miseries, initially thru MC-style job-creation, starting with the Philippines. In the process, the 'redeemed poor' will reciprocate by helping their employer companies (mega co-op corporate groups) to create profits for their investors' shared benefits, in the spirit of mutual help. As the scheme gets implemented on world scale, all involved should automatically draw out and enhance their happiness-creating ethic instincts: tolerance, friendliness, mercy, justice by virtue of equality and merit, sharing of resources, benevolence, charity, sacrifice, heroism, altruism, bonding for good works, etc. Expectation of economic & social returns may partly draw out such virtues, but everyone knows that spiritual joys created by such instincts are more than enough for all humans to perpetuate such practice. Economic justice by virtue of equality and merit as part of ethic instincts is difficult to implement. However, Movement-level solutions should initially address them over time thru laws and political-economic systems that enable each Movt member to own capital shares in 20 or so mega co-op corporate groups. Such culture should enable worldwide justice practitioners to share in profits created by co-ops, joint ventures, and small friendship group businesses. Incredibly, such worldwide pursuit of wealth thru business-enabled mutual help if fulfilled can create what all humanity always wanted: peace, joys, happiness, spiritual fulfillment and wealth for all, exactly as the Creator designed. Indeed the pursuit of wealth when balanced by all ethic instincts brings comfort and happiness to all practitioners, as God wants for all humanity. Otherwise, He would not have gifted all humans with the power to seek & enjoy wealth. Religious philosophies that encourage believers to shun wealth, seek suffering & embrace poverty as a way to gain post-death heaven may create 'emotional peace' within the self but prevent practitioners from using wealth as tool for good towards creation of mutual joys together with their beneficiaries, a habit that brings deep spiritual fulfillment to all involved. Logically, practicing mutual help together with masses of skills for the benefit of masses of unfortunates on lifetime basis should please divinities much more than seeking & enduring sacrifices & punishing oneself supposedly to gain post-death heaven.
A further indicator of true divine design is the innumerable varied talents and capabilities that humans possess. One is good in numbers, another in art, or music, or sports, or invention, or business management, or organization, or marketing, or patient work, etc. A single talent is worthless without its interaction with hordes of other talents. Interactions can create wealth, joys, happiness, spiritual peace and fulfillment among all involved in degrees depending on intent and type of activities. The design's purpose is obvious: by endowing humans with varied talents, the Creator 'forces' them all to work together thru sharing of abilities to gain mutual benefits, a situation that create mutual joys. Applied to worldwide mega co-op business activities which are democratic in nature, world-scale sharing of talents should multiply the effects of good works to planet scale. Concurrently, the system creates innumerable products, services and wealth that become sources of comfort & joys for all involved to enjoy. This prospect should comply with the Creator's true design for humanity as the opposite of what world bottom masses suffer: lifetime poverty & drudgery, unemployment, inability to afford such basics as education, health care, hospitalization, decent housing, nutritious food, etc. What should break the sad cycles? The skilled masses converting all adult citizens into employee/capitalists thru schemes presented in this blog. Mass brains should create even more schemes that create even deeper joys!
Q3: Why did divinities allow terrible earthly suffering throughout human history? A3: Logic again provides the answer: Humans have been given ethic instincts as tools to create earthly happiness, but they have to use such tools. They have been given talents but they all have to use such abilities productively in accord with their ethic instincts. Concurrently, they have been given free will, because happiness cannot be forced but created within the self by the self. Even all-powerful divinities will be unable to force any human to 'be happy or else'. Nor will divinities be able to force humans to commit abuses, transgressions, or 'sins' against each other. Only persuasion by evil minds & spirits largely thru human conscience (success creates thrills within evil persuaders) will work to weaken or twist ethic instincts within human free will. Indeed, if the divine milieu (Creator, good spirits, evolved spirits, saints, fulfilled souls) will be successful in persuading all humans to conform with divine design of happiness on earth thru use of ethic instincts, happiness will further greatly multiply in the heavenly realms. Unfortunately, earthly humans' free will plus activities of the seekers of thrills thru corruption of human minds become powerful impediments.
Such truths should give us innumerable chances to help create universal peace & personal joys throughout our remaining lifetimes. The internet's worldwide reach (planet-scale thanks to its developers) should facilitate the joyous adventures. The internet's viral powers should enable divinities' conscience-awakening thought waves to spread out throughout humanity thru MC Movt operators. The general message is the Mega Co-op way towards business-enabled, mass-based universal mutual help in order to create and implement systems and cultures that conform with common ethic instincts.
Q4: Why is mutual help instinct so powerful as the masses' 'redeemer instinct'? A4: Mutual help instinct elicits mutual need, which draws out among participants scores of other God-given ethic instincts: friendliness, tolerance, benevolence, helpfulness, mercy, self-preservation, bonding with family and loved ones, justice by virtue of equality or merit, mutual respect, reciprocity for good deeds, respect for human rights, charity, dignity, sharing of blessings and resources, upkeep of good name, inventiveness, defense of self & loved ones against evil, sacrifice for good, endless studies to create useful technologies, heroism, team studies for good, joint action versus corrupt practices, etc. Mutual help is hence for practical purposes the 'mother of all virtues'. And universal mutual help can be all humanity's principal ticket to happiness both on earth and in the post-death divine dimensions.
Q5: How may we create 'happiness cycles' thru mutual help instinct? A5: As everyone's experience shows, any good act creates joys within both giver and recipient. Concurrently, the recipient instinctively vows to reciprocate thru an equivalent good act performed at once or at a later time. Most humans by instinct seek joys because the absence of joys bring terrible miseries. The Creator does not inflict miseries; He only offers joys (thru ethic instincts) which when unaccepted, ignored, 'buried', abused or misused results to miseries at scales that vary in degree from self-level to people-level. Unfortunately, most humans often forget to fully use not only their ethic instincts but their gift of ethic-guided logic as well, which dictates habitual, lifetime practice of ethic instincts to create permanent happiness of spirit within the self and great joys in others. The consequence: misery ruling the earth from past to present and hopefully not in the future.
Q6: How may humanity avoid more miseries thru universal practice of ethics? A6: History's 'hells on earth' have too often been caused by peoples engaging in mutual help only within and among their relatively small common interest groups. History's families, clans, tribes, kingdoms, empires, brotherhoods, political parties, democracies, party dictatorships & even gangs and criminal syndicates engaged in mutual help only to benefit their own groups and allies. Every group considered non-allies and everyone else as 'others' which should be used for personal and group gain or ignored as 'useless'. Plans hardly consider the expected results as 'acceptable for all humanity'. Only group interests matter. The consequence has been mass miseries created by innumerable self-seeking interests that continuously clash against each other. Concurrently, neither humanity's idealists in their millions nor the skilled masses in their billions dreamt up adequate business, economic, political and social systems that lead to universal mutual help which transcend races, religions, politics, cultures, etc., except maybe the dreams presented in this blog.
Yet some good (though limited) models have long existed: large-scale inter-racial business enterprises such as multinational corporations, and world-scale political organizations that have risen to higher levels towards universal mutual help. Giant multinational companies in leading technology industries enable hundreds of thousands of employees of various races, religions, cultural and social beliefs, prejudices, etc. to peacefully work together and even develop lasting friendships. The tactic is simple: everyone is required to drop everything in the mind when inside work sites except what many religions and cultures have preached against over centuries: the 'evils' of wealth-making. The 'injustice' of huge salary differences (logically based on varying skills and scarcity of job positions) are roundly ignored. There are other times and places for such complexities if one is interested in them. Spoken words are carefully picked to insure no one gets slighted. Everyone knows that ignoring the requirements for 'ideal employee' means one's job lost and his family getting hungry back home, so everyone behaves. Indeed 'money as root of all evil' as an old religious tenet is gradually being supplanted by the reality of 'money as tool for good' as (supposedly self-seeking) entrepreneurs create large middle and upper classes by organizing and running money-making businesses from micro to multinational. 'Economic' evil or good are accepted as aspects beyond social status, for both moneyed and poor can be either good or bad. Virtue should depend upon work for good intent.
Indeed if multinational companies (long-hated by many Filipino 'leftists' as exploiters of entire countries' bottom poor), can show how masses can work together in peace to gain wealth, it's now a matter of creating systems whereby multinational mega co-ops linked and spreading out worldwide can at last attain the divine design of universal mutual help for all humanity. The mega co-op schemes herein presented describe such an institutionalized system of mass wealth-creation whereby everybody wins: bottom poor, 'bare subsistence' poor, middle and upper classes, government, and even elites who pitch in bulk capital among scores of MC joint ventures. Once said system succeeds in the Philippines, clones and adaptations built in the rest of the 3rd World should in due time raise all the world's 5+ billion bottom and 'eternally needy' poor towards 1st World level middle class status. The elites and wealthy employee masses & corporations in the 1st World should hence resolutely help in the grand 3rd World redemption. Mutual help thru MC/1st World corporate joint ventures presents both spiritual & material returns for involved 1st World partners: it will yield them quadrillion-dollar markets, consequent ever-rising salaries for their involved employees, trillions in profit dividends & stock price rises for all their investors, & trillions in tax income for their governments. The spiritual effect? Great masses of souls 'graduating' towards Heaven largely thru their own efforts, in exact conformity with divine design!
