1-Modern Survivalism
Survivalism is an interesting word that is gaining acceptance and popularity today in response to its anti-thesis “corporate conformity”. As the world moves toward big brother and corporate conformity we find this equal and opposite movement within society as well.
In the computer industry and the internet community we can find examples in the contrast between open source software and material like Linux and corporate giants like Microsoft. The web browser Firefox uses open source material that is freely shared and Internet explorer uses closed source material that is highly protected.
The debate about keeping the internet free and the need to regulate it rages in political debates around the world. Both sides have their reasoning and valid concerns.
The real issue is about internal authority vs external authority. Do we need external authority with laws and regulations to restrict and control our lives? Can we be trusted to act upon our own internal authority being guided soley by the voice of our conscience?
These are hard questions and the real answer is that some people need to follow internal authority and others need external authority to feel safe. Humanity is divided along these lines and it always has been. There is no easy solution.
The Modern Survivalism movement is created out of a need for personal freedom, independence and self competence in living. Free individuals are uniting as a political force in expressing and making room for these values. These are largely the values the United States of America was founded upon.
Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry were the principle vehicles expressing these survivalist values. In colonial America Benjamin Franklin founded a Rosicrucian Settlement as a utopian community. The Boston Tea Party was a Masonic Lodge activity.
In Germany Martin Luther was the head of the Rosicrucian movement and the leader of the entire protestant movement away from the Catholic Church. This led to the Jacobite rebellion and the creation of many variants of Christianity.
In England Sir Francis Bacon was the head of the Rosicrucian movement and created the daring social experiment known as Freemasonry.
Today Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry are largely forgotten and devalued. They no longer apply to our modern world. Membership has faltered and they are not attracting the new blood of younger generations.
Their time is over but the values and ethics of personal freedom live on within the survivalism movement and within the internet itself.
Every generation has its own frontier and the internet is the frontier for our generation. The spirit of freedom is alive and well even if the names and terms have been changed.
At one time is was the Catholic church that needed to be challenged. In todays world the universities and corporations need to be challenged. The need for a college education and corporate conformity are buzz words that threaten personal freedom for generations to come.
Like the free internet and open source material there needs to be alternatives for the portion of society that can not flourish in a restrictive environment. There needs to be a vehicle for the expression of morals, values and self empowerment techniques that is available to everyone regardless of social position. All it takes is access to the internet.
That is what the OAK material is. It is an expression of timeless values and concepts placed within the framework of modern societiy and its needs. I am a Rosicrucian and a Freemason. Both vehicles are dying. They no longer appeal to the younger generation.
Modern Survivalism is taking their place. Modern Survivalism is where we need to be going to ensure personal freedom and independence for future generations. This will happen through a free internet.
