Now for a hail mary... What does any of this have to do with the word "Omnity"? The original purpose of this site was to forum the work that I've done over the last 20 years trying to understand the dynamic's of human civilization. In the course of that sojourn (as differentiatied from a "journey" by the characteristic of being more than just going from A to B by finding out why) I have developed certain broad idea's regarding the governing dynamics (thank you Dr. Nash) of US. We are a group mind. For most of human history this fact was rather hidden (occult) as little existed in the external world that was sophisticated enought or complex enought to reflect the inner nature. Not that the evidence was lacking, only that the refinement and vision needed to comprehend it was rare indeed. Jung was one. He percieved the footprints of the one stalking in the dreams, fears and images that formed the content of what he saw within US. The greats of western hermetic occultism plumbed the depths of its nature through the study of deamonology, a realm that even psychologists fear to tread. Modern civilization now begins to show clearly the evidence of it and we are beginning to live in a collective mind space that is the product of our individual subconscious and unconscious ideation. (yes, I believe that there is a difference) That which appeareth upon the holy box is because we voteth upon it with the great power of our remotes. Now comes the internet, only 10 years old and already recognized as the future of thought, business, politics, personal relationships and social interaction. Frankly, anyone who thinks that the idea of the "group mind" is bullshit is either a liar, and asshole, or scared shitless of the prospect of confronting the image of themselves as it appears in the very air before them. Why is there so much porno on the internet? not just nudie pictures but hardcore venality that would make the Marquis De Sade blush and wax moral? Because it existeth within you/us/me/we. Like it or not. So, why a pyramid? You are a pyramid. You sit in a glass room at the very apex of you. Below you are hundreds of levels of you that, for the most part continue in thier course without your intervention. Your past. Your fears. Your greatness. Your perversity. Your potential. Every once in a while a dream, memory, thought or (if your very lucky) a realization come upon you and in that moment, a personal assistant from one of the sub-levels of your pyramid enters the throne room just at the moment that you, the unconscious king, snorts awake and wonders who that was and what was he doing? Whats wrong with human civilization? Thats easy, no ones driving.

Ok, time to drop back and punt... Why a pyramid? The fundamental point behind this line of reasoning is that our civilization IS a pyramid. Has always been and will continue to be for many moons to come. That being the case, it would seem logical that the only way to visualize and understand our society and its dynamics is through the pyramid model. This, for me, is the true significance of the pyramid's themselves. Outside of the constant bickering about how they were built and when, and who, they are just piles of stone. Its the shape that obsesses us to no end. We respond to it on a fundamental level. I think that this is why. Consciousness is not the provence of barefooted, vegan bliss-ninnies totally divorced from reality. Consciousness is what the ninjas learned. Its the magic behind NOT being killed at the next intersection by the idiot who believes that stop lights are a conspiracy to ruin HIS life. If we, as a race, where to become conscious we would be suddenly aware of the circumstances of our existence. Perhaps then "we" would be able to effect change. It might be that we have encoded within us direct knowledge of the universe and its operations. Perhaps years of scientific investigation could be avoided and "we" would simply "know" how to do what is needed to create not a utopia (more bliss-ninny bullshit) but a society that works. One that allows us to pursue our lives in relative peace, and without undue interruption. Seems so simple, huh?

In my estimation, based upon personal experience and general knowledge, it would cost about $35,000 to $50,000 per year for 1.5 to 2 years to take a family at or near the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid and raise them up to the status of middle class. It would only work through a program of concentrated education, counseling and training. The family would only be benefited through the application of this program to the primary income earner coordinated by a dedicated "manager". At the end of the program, followup counseling would be needed to insure the permanence of the results. Money management, savings, investment, tax management, bill paying and new social and community skills would be required. A separation from the negative influences of the past, perhaps in the form of a move to a "new life" might be needed as well. In the aftermath, that family would go from being a net negative economic producer to a net positive one. Assuming that prior to the program the family was living on a per capita income of $5,000 per year ($25,000 for a family of 4) and that after the program the family was living on $50,000, it would represent a net immediate gain of $125,000 over a period of 10 years. ($25,000 per year of additional spending per family for 10 years = $250,000 minus $100,000 program cost plus interest on the invested capital). There would be a number of collateral benefits such as the increase in the available domestic workforce of trained, semi-skilled workers to business and industry and the quality and productivity of those workers, the reduction of potential future crime resulting from the socio-economic dislocation associated with poverty, a reduction is drug use, domestic violence and the drain that these factors have upon the public sector. If just 1 million qualified families where put through such a program annually, the cost would be $35 to 50 billion dollars per year for a period of 10 years over which time, for a public investment of $250 to $500 billion dollars poverty would be virtually eliminated and a long period of economic growth would be initiated as a result of the effect upon the consumer-based economy. 5 to 10 million families representing the bottom 15 to 20% of the current socio-economic pyramid would be made a productive and growth oriented base of support for the future of america. Social injustice would be drastically reduced. Interesting thought, no?
