Promoting a Prime Directive for the Human Family

When I think about the adventure we've undertaken it certainly occurs to me that some people will consider the idea of a universally accepted Prime Directive an unattainable ideal, and perhaps it is. But my instincts and best thinking tells me that the rewards of pursuing that ideal are far better than the consequences of not striving for its achievement at all. Besides, it is not like some other very smart people don't have the same idea, that is promoting a global prime directive. Billions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives have been sacrificed to achieve their version of a prime directive for the human family.

Where PSPinc's Prime Directive states that we (humans) should seek pleasure and avoid pain for ourselves and others, their prime directive states that they should seek pleasure and avoid pain for themselves and let others take care of themselves. And in their world, the greatest pleasures are to be derived from the accumulation of profit, prestige, and power. The pains to be avoided at any cost are poverty, lack of enviable status, and powerlessness. Those who are not successful under their prime directive are viewed as resources and materials to be used in the attainment of their goals and the reconstruction of our world. You know I don't like getting into this kind of in-group versus out-group discussion (us vs them), but I didn't create this reality. I was born into it and like you, I chose to come at this time. So if my Ori speaks truth to me, I feel that I should speak truth to you. That's the example that Dr. M. set for us in the Handbook.

PSPinc's Prime Directive states that we should convert negative energy into positive energy through our conduct in the world. Their prime directive states that both negative energy and positive energy (good conduct and bad conduct) should be used to keep the masses in confusion, desperation, and competition with each other so that they can not see a way to be anything but negative, hostile, and alienated from each other. It is sad to see how far we (humans) have fallen backwards as our technologies and sciences have advanced so far forward. This divergence makes for a very problematic future.

PSPinc's Prime Directive states that we should nurture life and struggle against death for the welfare of the planet and the coexistence of all living things. Again, their prime directive takes us in a completely different direction. Their prime directive states that they should nurture profit and power for the short-term benefit of themselves, their families, and their associates regardless of the negative impact on other humans, animals, or the planet itself.

My hope is that (with each new event, personal observation, or news story) each of you will come to truly understand that we are already engaged in a struggle to establish a prime directive for the human family. Their prime directive is articulated in the reassuring language of Capitalistic Democracy, Rugged Individualism, Market Freedom, Individual Rights, and the like, but these ideas veil hidden agendas. Our Prime Directive is articulated in the simple message to Create Peaceful Space. 10 Selfish & Unselfish Reasons For You To Create Peaceful Space.

Again, let me remind you that I am not talking politics in my comments. I'm talking about the choices that people make because of the weaknesses in our nature and because of the ideologies and philosophies to which we attach ourselves. Advocates of these competing prime directives know that ultimately, if the future is to be theirs, they must get the children (all of the world's children) to internalize their ideal. As I think more and more about the Peaceful Space Project and its mission, I realize more clearly how important it is that someone invite you to choose one prime directive over the other. I have to ask you openly and honestly to consider the seriousness of the situation and to choose to act. Don't expect to be a spectator during the greatest drama to be acted out in all of human history. Do something! Say something to someone! You alone may not be able to change the world but you can certainly change something about the world. Start by changing something about yourself - negative to positive, passive to active, observer to participant and then, be ready (always ready) to help someone else in their process.

Living in alignment with the Prime Directive

is a choice to which everyone should be invited!
