"To follow knowledge, like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.
--- Come my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world."
(Tennyson, in "Ulysses")

Context

Members of the meek brotherhood, including those of us who are new-age gnostics, are intent on establishing a better type of society, on earth.

In this good society, which has sometimes been called the realm of Heaven, the law defends every adult citizen's right to be a self-sovereign individual and parents are responsible for their children being taught, by spoken word, living example and actual experience, the virtue of self-sovereign helpfulness. In this way, legislation and education are integrated to ensure a society of helpful individualism, or universal loving. This type of social order makes possible a sustainable state of dynamic peace, for both the mind and body of the individual and the interactions within, and of, the collectivity. Otherwise, we face nothing but more and worse of what we've endured historically; including hypocrisy, injustice, inequality, violence, corruption, disease and involuntary death.
In any social order of the non-heavenly type, as on earth today, laws are unjust, parents are failures, education is unsuccessful and inhabitants are confined, from birth to death, to the antithetical state of hell,. This means that, although there may be many rewarding times for some, especially in the boss-devil role(s) of illegitimate authority, there must also be a lot of bullying, suffering, inequality, injury, theft, fear, pain, deceit, waste, disease, distress, corruption, violence, warfare, greed, grief and undignified death, that hurts all inmates but especially the poor devils who are being bossed by the bullies. The time has come, at last, for this to end.

All else that needs to be known as common-sense wisdom, as distinct from special-occupation knowledge, is implicit in this, as principal proposition.

Abstract
This unconventional research report summarises the conclusion(s) to a long-term enquiry into the nature of human learning.
It is proposed that the practice of helpful individualism, among persons who class one another as self-sovereign kinfolk, is the end of successful education, or the getting of Wisdom. The associated end of species evolution is the sustainable society of uniquely imperfect individuals, that this equal-status lifestyle makes possible.

Today, one species of generic man is at the threshold of this relatively new type of society, wherein the constituents will have ended our millennia of hypocritical, or fallacious, reasoning and so empowered ourselves to interact, enjoyably, as affectionate, interdependent, equals. This evolutionary transformation, which ends the cerebral evolution of the human genus, in association with a bifurcation into its two constituent species, will be both rapid and traumatic, will begin in Australia, and will end with graduation, for the survivors, to a new-earth society of consensual democracy, characterised by an attitude, to Life, of self-sovereign meekness.

Members of the graduation class will -
1) use reasons that make sense in terms of the principle of adult self-sovereignty,
2) recognise that the metaphysical, or spiritual, reality, of subjective story, is more important than the physical reality, of objective science, some understanding of which is nevertheless essential as a practical means to the sustainable end,

3) focus attention, primarily, on the enjoyably-helpful quality of our interactions rather than on the production, distribution, acquisition and/or consumption of scientific techniques, factual information, artistic fiction and quantifiable things or the learning, enacting and/or enforcing of arbitrary rules, rituals, norms, mores, plans, policies and procedures,

4) reason holistically, in terms of manifesting a role in the dramatic presentation of a superhuman Story, or Spirit, rather than otherwise, in terms of enacting roles for man-made corporations and/or a supernatural Father God, and

5) enjoy our resurrection to the delights of eternal life, here on planet earth.
These consequences follow from the fact that we are organic parts of a living universe that, as us and our scenery, is also the body of the cyclical-and-progressive Mother Spirit, knowable by us as the Universal Story. As participating parts of the evolving phase of her latest life-cycle, we are free to invent and enact roles. The role(s) we each decide to enact, as personally appropriate, reveal(s) our innate nature, including past origin and future destiny. This destiny can either be the unprecedented bliss that follows spiritual resurrection, on earth, as an enlightened child-of-She, or the damnation that ends with physical death, as a lump of dead shit. This personally-appropriate ending must be revealed for each and every one of us, as our earth-based version of the Cosmic Story comes, inevitably, to her major change-of-life crisis, or climactic turning-point, in the foreseeable future.

The report confirms that a state of war has existed, for millennia, between the meek brotherhood of the Mother God, as knight defenders of her natural-sacred temple, which is the corporeal earth, and the social engineers who, in the role(s) of self-righteous hypocrite, represent some part of the corporate world that has been established by representatives of the usurper; whom we occasionally refer to as Satan, or villainous old Rex Mundi. Unless repentant, members of that unmeek brotherhood, and their camp followers, must continue to oppose this revolutionary change, and we revolutionary change-agents, in one violent way or another, with all the enormous resources at their disposal, to their bitter end; by the end of the coming decade.

Comment
This report, which is being compiled as a trilogy, is composed in the eclectic language of universal Wisdom. Accordingly, the text includes some long words, as well as a few four-letter vulgarities, referring to some bloody big ideas. Some of the word symbols and the relevant ideas are very old while others are relatively new. It is assumed that those readers who don't have access to a good dictionary, or some wise friends, will otherwise be able to make whatever translations are needed to make the text personally meaningful, even though, for many, the contextual message will still be unbelievable, and for some will even be blasphemous, libelous, evil or idiotic. In any case, potential readers are warned that the understanding requires, as the composing did, a sense of deep dissatisfaction (with self and society), an open, enquiring, mind, a creative, disciplined, imagination and a lot of hard mental yakka, as distinct from the speed-reading skills of closed-minded, small-minded dilettantes.

Book One: The End Of Education

Book Two: The End Of Capitalism

Book Three: The Sons Of She

The author claims no copyright. Not being a Rex Mundi man, he knows that all sacred, or natural, gifts, including the living earth, with her land, sea, sky, embodied genes and embodied ideas, are meant to be appreciated and shared, as common wealth, as distinct from being divided, acquired, bought, owned and sold as private, or corporate, possessions.

Much of the relevant research took place in association with professional colleagues at The University of Queensland's fine Faculty of Education. A number of the research findings have been published previously, in books and journals, and public access columns, by helpful individuals. Research associate, since 2/3/1996, has been the researcher's best friend, Di Clarke, of Bond University Library. This is the 1/7/1997 draft; revised on 26/10/2000. Feedback, from critical friends, and foes, is welcome.

Foreword
by Billy Soo-Lee (The Great Aussie Oracle) of Wobutoft Books, Kingscliff, 2487. 1/7/1997
I accept the challenge of writing this foreword, because countless people have asked me, "What is this Ogilvie bloke on about? Is he the full quid?"

Doug Ogilvie is "a gnostic-christian, socio-economic, ego-fantacist character". I will review his work by explaining the phrase.

Gnosticism is the pursuit of knowing the Spirit (or God) through knowledge, especially of self, as opposed to faith alone. Jesus was a gnostic, as were most early Christians.

After the Council of Nicea, however, when Catholicism was created, the christian gnostics were almost exterminated in a vicious pogrom that went on for centuries, because, as Jesus had done, they lived a heresy that posed a threat to the Establishment, of church, commerce and state.
Basically, gnostics believe that you can only find God in your own heart, and not in churches and other institutions. Christian gnostics follow the words of the radical revolutionary, Jesus, as opposed to the fantasy figure of Catholic creation.

This means that Truth must be paramount and personal. It means that you promote a socio-economic system that is based on the self-sovereignty of helpful individuals, which means that people are entitled to live and die as they choose, according to their own self-responsible beliefs. This means that representatives of the State, or the People, have an obligation to protect this right, and so have clearly delineated lines of demarcation that cannot, legitimately, be crossed.

An egoist is a person who believes in himself/herself, as opposed to the dogmas and creeds of others. A fantacist is a person who believes that he/she has the intellect to contribute towards the introduction of a better type of human society, by a personal input into collective consciousness. In other words, they accept that they can be, as part of the cutting edge of the evolutionary knife, an instrument for genuine human progress.

They feel that they belong to a developing spiritual, or superhuman, organism that is trying to know itself, through them. In reality, fantasy becomes truth.

Everyone knows what a character is but in Doug's case, the "h" should not be silent, because he is a man of charity. He puts his time, effort, honesty and money where his mouth and his pen are. He helps, gives, creates, and distributes against all odds. In striving for a better world, people like this are usually labelled "ratbags" and "eccentrics" for their trouble.

This is common in Doug's case because when people are invited to his place, they could be delighted, or shocked, by naked nymphs, frolicking shamelessly in Bilambil Creek, and could meet all sorts of other interesting people, such as poets, painters, dancers, pagans, farmers, potheads, political activists, holy men and ex-policemen.

Finally, if the crucifixion scene was played out for real, in Australia today, the bankers, solicitors, accountants, parsons and priests would be the ones considering with the secular authorities, whether they should have "Jesus Ogilvie of Urliup Valley" nailed upon the cross, but history will be kind to him, and his spiritual kin, in the end... which is what really matters.
