Dissemination of Power

John UK, a mid-causal being, once said that we are in a historical moment that is witnessing the dissemination of more power to the populous. He went on to say that every few thousand year’s humanity will go through a major push that disseminates more power outward to more individuals.

Many thousands of years ago the concentration of power was only with a few people, such as the tribal leaders, governors, or kings. This is where the power of the community resided. And then there was a push to disseminate and share power outward. There was a shift of energy that occurred and helped facilitate this change within humanity. We then saw power being disseminated by religious leaders. Power then was shared between those who were in charge of tribal order (kings) and those in charge of the religious order (Priests). Eventually the energy expanded and changed again and there was another dissemination of power but this time the power was shifted toward the creation of rules to help disseminate guidelines and judgments to more people.

Eventually another change of energy built and there was rise of power by those who had money. This was the rise of power by merchants. This power was based on money and economic power.

We are now in the process of experiencing another energy shift within the world and once again we are witnessing a shift of power outward. This time the energy and power is disseminated to even more of the masses. This power shift is being witnessed by the dissemination and access to information. We see the results of this energy shift and empowerment of the individual with the use of the Internet and the interconnection of the world.

In this new era we will see even more individual empowerment. We will also see that as people become more empowered, the institutions around us must change. People will demand that government listen to its people, and we are witnessing such a change in the USA. The general population is demanding change within government, such as accountability, listening to the needs of the people rather than to lobbyists, more openness is decisions.

Empowered people will expect and demand their religious leaders to have integrity, treat people with fairness, respect, and love. We are seeing these changes occur in the Catholic Church where Priests who abused children are now being held accountable. We are seeing that evangelical Christians are also no longer accepting leaders with sexual or money laundering scandals to continue in positions of leadership. Churches will need to pay attention to their congregations expectations. Churches that continue to use the top-down approach and expect total compliance will find their pews empty and no one interested in their dogma. Churches will required to listen from their empowered people to survive in this new era.

News and information is already shifting from network TV stations, then to cable, and now to the Internet. More information options will provide people with more awareness and more options and different expectations. Communities are no longer based on physical geography or the family gene pool. Communities are now shifting outward and this will continue in this new era.

Power is already being shifted more to the individual and this shift will continue and will grow. This era of individual empowerment will continue for several thousand years and with it, changes in government, in the economy, in health care, in education will all shift and change. This is really a great time to not only witness this shift, but also to experience it, and in some cases, even assist it.
