The Abundance Paradigm Foundational Writings

Entropy… That measure of disorder that increases as energy is dissipated into unusable forms effects many aspects of our present human condition. It is easy to grasp the principle as it pertains directly to heat. We see the energy of a fire heat our food, but we also can see a great deal of heat going out unused and unusable. This extra heat can be seen as increasing the disorder, as the molecules affected move more rapidly and more disorderedly. A more difficult aspect to see is the entropy inherent in our social structure.

In Jeremy Rifkin’s seminal work Entropy, published in 1980, he does an excellent job of demonstrating that, because energy is at the base of life, itself, entropy can ripple through society, creating disorder even as we try to clamp down and control the order of things. In fact, he paints a very grim picture of what we can expect as we consume more and more energy, explaining that fascist tendencies are most likely to crop up in the efforts to overcome entropy in our society. Today we see more and more signs of encroaching fascism.

The reason why energy and its entropy are tied in to our social structures is made clear by Rifkin in his work (p. 89):



If money is merely the accounting of the available energy, it becomes clear that should an energy source come along that has the properties of being effectively infinite, available from anywhere, and negentropic (from “negative entropy”), the need for money dissipates. “Infinite money” has no social application.

In fact, because of our limited available energy and the money system developed to account for it, it is clear why we have a “power” elite, as well as poverty and exploitation. Rifkin explains (p. 57):



Given this, it becomes clear that if such an infinite, available, negentropic source of energy were to be introduced, power over others would give way to individual autonomous power over self but no others. This can be seen as a major shift in Consciousness on this planet.

This all sounds hypothetical, a waste of time to contemplate even, to the average individual who has been told that we are stuck with the many entropic sources of energy we presently use (which also are sources we have to pay for). “Where is this miracle source?” they might ask.

And here is where I bring up the “Dark” Energy that is now heralded all over science shows about physics and cosmology. This energy, which has been called “radiant energy” and “cosmic rays” (Tesla), “orgone” (Wilhelm Reich), “Zero Point Energy,” and many others, is pervading space. It is within you and within me, around all of us, and is present anywhere we go. Interestingly, though we are told of this energy (usually as “Dark” Energy), no mainstream media (MSM) outlet has asked the most logical question: Can we extract this energy in usable form?

In fact, back in the 1950’s, the science of electrogravitics was being discussed openly in the aerospace literature, an industry that was studying electrogravitics at all the major players: Lockheed, Convair, Lear, and many others. The discussion vanished, it just wasn’t discussed anymore, despite the fact that so many companies had been drawn into the electrogravitics arena. Reports were that, “They want it secret for now.” Electrogravitics could draw on this energy and create overunity – free energy, in other words. So why was this a threat?

The reasons for these occurrences – that the media never ask if we can draw on the Dark Energy, that electrogravitics became highly classified – become clear when we look at the fact that those presently in power would have to give up their power over others (having already power over themselves). From the perspective of those few, they would “lose.”

Such an energy source would represent, at least, a virtually infinite source that is available to all. Any attribution of a negentropic aspect comes from reports from a number of sources suggesting that cold, not heat, is the defining characteristic of drawing on this source. These reports and the surrounding research and data have surely been suppressed – at least to the extent of not reporting on it and never, ever asking whether we can get something usable from “Dark” Energy. It would be a naïve position at best to expect the present power elite to ignore and NOT suppress and disparage any efforts to develop this source in usable form.

And so, it would appear that we have had methods of extracting usable forms of energy from the “Dark” Energy pool, called the plenum (opposite of “vacuum,” from a root which means “empty” – “plenum” means “full”) for at least 100 years (Tesla seems to have developed such methods). And we might conclude that the power elite wish to remain in their place of power over others, else they would have released the means to extract usable energy to the public. (There is strong evidence of suppression of many “free” energy devices, from hydrogen-from-water devices through magnetic devices, as well as the Plenum Energy methods.)

The question now becomes, what would happen if we had this energy available to all of us? The answer depends on how we, as a planetary society, approach the matter.

Since we’re examining society, it helps to understand that it moves and emerges in fractal expressions from a relatively small seed set of parameters. Up until now, the fractal seeds of all societies in history have included scarcity of energy (which is reflected in the scarcity of goods and money), and thus we see emerging greed, conspiracy, poverty, power elite, wage slavery and many other ills. If we look for a seed that gives an overarching structure for a society’s development in the advent of having such a source of energy available, and take advantage of what media we can to raise awareness to the tipping point of the goals and precepts we define, the society that fractalizes out of that seed will be strong, healthy, and unrestrictive – provided the seed is geared to that end.

The key things that must be addressed are:

1. A code of conduct
2. Our approach to the Earth and how we bring forth the abundance she has to give
3. How open we will be on code and programs for our machines
4. How necessary work gets done
5. How we communicate and identify the primary issues
6. What focus in life should be stressed

If we seed our society with a code of conduct, calling to the fore the three Laws of Ethics – which are:

1. Do not willfully and without fully informed consent hurt or kill the flesh of anOther

2. Do not willfully and without fully informed consent take or damage anything that does not belong to You alone

3. Do not willfully defraud anOther (which can only happen without fully informed consent)

this sets one parameter of the seed to ethics.

If we insist that all farming be organic – in its true sense, and not some trumped up legal definition – our food will grow ever better. If we insist that mining is done with a conscious awareness for retaining beauty and structure, our impact will be small and repairable. If we insist that manufacturing be done such that it is free of pollutants, our planet will remain healthy and abundant. If we are using the Plenum Energy, the energy we use will be clean (and fracture drilling, oil pumping, coal mining, rain forest clearing and other nasty behaviors and consequences associated with petrofuels will be eliminated). If we set this parameter of the seed with the drive to be thoughtful of our planet, our planet will thrive.

If we demand open-source in all technology, we remove fears of machines “taking over.” Code can be looked at, published on the web – and better code will be worked out by those whose bliss it is to program things. A distrust of proprietary code (or any other hidden thing) should be promoted. Such a setting in this parameter of the seed will bring forth the best we can create.

By creating robots to do all the necessary work no one (or not enough people) wants to, we release ourselves to do what we enjoy – we are released from slavery, having cast it off onto our machines. This seed parameter is one only now available to humanity. Never before in our history have we had the option to create mechanical slaves for every “dirty job.” Therefore, it, along with the addition of a negentropic energy source, will provide a frame for unique emergence, a new societal framework, a new consciousness.

With a central website, in forum style, to address major issues – divided into local sections, regional sections and global sections, with “votes” at a certain level elevating the problems and solutions to the next level to be voted on by a greater number – we can collectively and stigmergically coordinate to solve the issues of this planet. Social responsibility will be seen as spending 15 minutes a day (or more) reviewing the issues on this site. This seed parameter will see an emergence of human unity as a race and as a planet. (For a definition of stigmergy, please see journal.media-culture.org.au/0605/03-elliott.php )

Setting a focus of fulfilling one’s own bliss, exchanging the “work ethic” for a Betterment Ethic, will see very much happier people, and far better results of efforts made – a job is done far better by someone who loves to do it than by one who feels compelled against their main desire. No job will be required to live well, but any job one wants to do is open to be done. I quote again from Rifkin’s Entropy (p. 210) to illustrate the differences between the scarcity paradigm and the new abundance paradigm, as it relates to work:



Thus we can see how a seed parameter of encouraging one to follow one’s bliss – since in this new paradigm one can – uplifts each one of us and increases the value of consciousness in society.

Having described the seed, how might it be expected to manifest? One of the first products that is likely to be seen are “power boxes,” which will be sold, initially. These would be units that had a mechanism to draw on the Plenum Energy and outlets to plug in our air conditioners, stoves, heaters, refrigerators, freezers, and so forth. This would allow us to move anywhere and bring our comfort items with us. We could “go camping” and still have our amenities, and many will. Eventually these items will each have their own units within.

As the cost of energy is removed from the production line at every stage, things will become less and less expensive, and at some point, will be given freely.

Other observables will include:

• Money falling into disuse
• Motivation from the heart as opposed to profit
• “Greed” becomes meaningless
• Peace
• Abundance for everyone
• Elimination of corruption
• Power over others supplanted by power over self
• Elimination of GMO’s
• Great reduction in violence
• Creative pursuits increased greatly
• A healed planet
• Reduced or eliminated hoarding
• Value placed on human-created art, textiles and products
• Focus on cures, not patentable chemicals that sicken for profit motive
• Human interaction with only those whose company is enjoyable (reduced social friction)
• Robotic stewardship of the planet
• Increased love and compassion
• Greatly reduced stress
• Wondrous works
• “Live and let live” behavior
• Most “laws” become unnecessary
• Corporate power eliminated
• Products made to last – no “planned obsolescence”
• Waste reduced to virtually nil
• Food nutrition increased for all
• One’s reputation becomes the “coin” one uses
• Personal responsibility for one’s own behavior
• Spiritual growth
• Slavery (outright or wage-slavery) abolished
• Human dignity encouraged
• Increase in charitable behavior
• Self autonomy
• Things are done because someone cares – from raising children to caring for others

From this list, it is clear that many issues we now face will be solved. Wealth will be measured in richness of character, rather than in deposits to a bank account. And we will spend our time doing what we like to do, being with the people we like and share interests with. Inventions, rather than being suppressed, will burgeon, and the “Star Trek universe” may be within our grasp, with things like transporters and replicators emerging.

And spiritual growth and communication will be encouraged as we find a greater amount of our time available to pursue the exploration of our inner dimension.

And though this is not a solution to every issue arising from human interaction – we will always have our personal disagreements – the overall health of society will skyrocket. Yes, we may still argue with others over the smaller issues in our lives, and some may choose to behave violently, but the numbers of occurrences will drop to a level we would consider statistically insignificant. Definitely a vast improvement over what we see today.

When you consider what I present here, ask yourself these questions:

Does this threaten a pet vision – passing laws, say, to solve a problem you see, or a view of striking it rich – that you have of your future? Does this scare you? Do you look for reasons that it won’t work? (All you envision as barrier issues – are scarcity paradigm views…)

Then ask yourself why working towards what I present here won’t solve the issue you want to solve, why you wouldn’t be rich in what I show to you, why it wouldn’t fulfill your idea of heaven, why you are afraid, and/or why you look for reasons it won’t work – rather than apply the proactive will to make this happen.

If we each choose to create this, since we have all it would take, consciously co-creating towards this goal, what I present would happen. It would take enough of us reaching a tipping point before it would all be downhill, and you may choose your future behavior. Speak for abundance, or reduce the chances that this will ever happen by keeping silent.

In closing, I recommend any who work for someone else and also are privy to information (such as methods of extracting usable energy from the plenum) give strong consideration to coming forth with what is known. In the end, you and all of us will be better off – and even today’s power elite, the useless eliters, will retain their life style, if not their power over us.

In My piece, The End of Entropy (above), I propose the following:



What is there proposed is a stigmergic governance - a way to govern society without a governMENT (controlMIND). In a system with no money or need for exchange, stigmergic governance will work - as long as there are money interests, it is unlikely to, with votes bought, up or down, and other disruptive aspects. This is what I propose in a free energy/robot system where no money is needed (read The End of Entropy for a picture of how this works). If You are unfamiliar with the term, stigmergy, a good place to get a handle on the term is journal.media-culture.org.au/0605/03-elliott.php

A very good illustration of stigmergy is Linux. In this case, one Individual created a basic program and offered it freely in open source. Others came along and began to improve upon it, create software to run on it, and so on. There was no "leader" in this group - those who wanted to get involved did so - and from the initial basic program, a whole creative "empire" came to be...all entirely free and freely.

And so, from this aspect of Our nature to do work on things We care about, whether We are paid or not, I developed a system of governance. The basic idea is a central website divided into local, regional, continental and global sections. Much like a forum, People could post problems They see to Their local section (or any other local section where the problem may exhibit itself). Others, reviewing the site, may "vote" to say They think the subject is a problem too, with "stars" or "thumbs up" or whatever. Votes down are also allowed. Apathy can be demonstrated by not voting at all.

Solutions can be posted and be "cheered" or "booed." In the event a solution is seen to be a good one, leaders of the moment will act to implement the solution. It can be the original poster or any Other concerned individual - the leaders will emerge to solve the problem.

When enough votes up occur without a solution that is seen as particularly good, the issue is elevated to the next level, the regional level, where more minds can work on the problem, offering help and/or solutions. More People can vote the problem up or down.

And so on up to the global level. If a problem is so severe and/or important that it reaches the global level and STILL no solution is found, I guess the Human race is SOL. But few problems will reach that level, and virtually never will they go unsolved.

The difference between a forum and the site will be that problems will be listed not in terms of date added but in terms of the net number of votes up (votes up minus votes down). Also, there will be a section of issues unread.

The original poster will have the ability to remove a problem once it is solved or is no longer a problem, at which point it will be archived. Problems with no activity for three months (or six, or some number as deemed reasonable) will drop off and be archived.

There will be a special section for emergencies - and Those whose bliss it is to help in any given emergency will be able to monitor this section and take action. Those who care will be enabled to help.

Here is a breakdown of how it will work:

Sue has a problem - any problem at all. She goes to the website and posts it. Her neighbors (and anyOne else) can vote relative to Her problem. They can offer solutions. Discussion of the problem and its solutions can take place in the problem thread, just as in a forum, and from that, Her problem will likely be solved or will not be seen as a problem by Others. If no One else sees a problem, no votes up will be received - and Sue will have to make do with what She sees as a problem, finding Her own solution. This will be rare. If no One else sees a problem...chances are it really isn't a problem to begin with.

As an example, Let's say Sue has a problem with noisy neighbors. She posts the problem. Others ask if She has talked to the neighbors. Yes, Sure replies, She has. SomeOne suggests that She move. Another suggests ordering and installing soundproofing. Sue considers Her options and decides the move is better than the soundproofing. She thanks the People for the suggestion and indicates the problem has been solved.

Instead, Let's say the problem is more difficult. A dam above Her house is showing signs of giving way and She reports this. Many others see that They are threatened too. They vote the problem up. Some also start making suggestions: get robots out there to shore the dam up. Drain the water behind the dam. So on and so forth. Discussion ensues, and meanwhile more People, though not immediately affected, see that it IS a problem and vote it up.

Soon, it reaches the regional level, and someOne who has experience dealing with such problems chimes in with His solution. Many cheer it and that One begins the process of solving the problem. Those who care join to help. He directs them and the problem is solved.

Maybe it's an asteroid heading for the earth - this will likely reach the global level swiftly, and those who have the know-how and wherewithal to go into space and plant charges to blow it up or divert it come to the fore as the leaders...

In this way, We Humans can be directly involved in running Our planet, allowing the BEST solutions to be implemented (and not the most profitable or cheapest).

As I mentioned, this is not a system for use where moneyed interests are involved. In fact... No governing system works well as long as money is involved. This is one more reason to eliminate money as a necessity.

If there are issues You see, please let Me know. Or any other comments.

NOTE: In 2019, I reread this... It was originally written in a bit of ignorance. I did not realize that We are not the Ones who can spend taxes. Get free energy flowing, and the cost of things will drop to zero (100% of the cost of EVERYTHING is energy). From there, We can build the infrastructure.





How do We implement the abundance paradigm (TAP)?

1. Spread awareness to the tipping point that free energy=no need for money

2. Allow either toadies who see that They will live as richly - or more so - to release free energy tech, or private inventors to have breakthroughs as more and more work on it.

3. Spend taxes to replace or retrofit with free energy, using BEST design, not planned obsolescence, in business, industry, agriculture, transportation and homes.

4. Spend taxes to replace workers who don't WANT to do the job They have with either Those who would LOVE it or robots.

5. Put together a central site for reporting and solving problems as described above under Stigmergic Governance Via the Web.

6. Spend taxes supporting Those who need it from losing jobs in the transition

7. Promote the Betterment Ethic (and who of caring heart would eschew the Betterment Ethic?)

8. Teach Our children to find Their gifts and develop Them.

Let Us suppose You live on a planet where You (and everyOne else) had set things up such that action took place via communication of needs (and desires) - because the planet had so much to give that accounting for it seemed pointless. Rather than making each Individual contribute, "earning" a living (as if being born demands an obligation of any kind), as if the planet could not give vastly more than the whole population could spend the time consuming (should anyOne choose to try and do so), problems are addressed directly, from needs to emergencies.

To the People, the Conscious Beings on the planet, it isn't so much a matter of sharing but that of communicating needs which are readily fulfilled by Others who care. The People who care to see that all are fed communicate what is needed and Those who can help the process do so. The communications webwork is available from anywhere. Earning status in Their field, it is maintained by Those who love to program, applying Their skills to improve the open-source code that is used to operate the distribution of requested materials. All is run on energy drawn from the aether (with tech presently hidden on Earth).

You see that Some get most of many single specialty items, being the Ones REALLY into that item, though with a "first come, first served" policy for web orders, and a "the Creator can give what (S)He wants away to Those (S)He personally wants to give them to" attitude,"specialty items" as a category is overflowing.

Neither You nor anyOne around You has to worry about how food will arrive on the table, for on Your planet the People are motivated to solve for need (not profit). You see that all People can post on the open, stigmergically regulated (did I lose You with that? See links below) rather than top-down, webwork of communication.

All needs are fulfilled richly - food, good water, clothing, shelter, tools - as the basics are provided organically, purely, durably ("fashion" is meaningless and Self expression is "in"), innovatively, solidly (shoddy product only earns the Creator a bad reputation). Any desire is acceptable as long as it does not include the breaking of three Laws of Ethics:

Do not willfully and without fully informed consent hurt or kill the flesh of anOther
Do not willfully and without fully informed consent take or damage anOther's property
Do not willfully defraud anOther (which can only happen without fully informed consent)

With only these three Ethical Laws, Those who care can judge whether crime has been committed. You may be surprised to see no concept of "retribution." Instead, You see confinement and treatment of Those who pose danger to Others, and shunning of Those who break Laws who don't. Any heinous crime will draw a plethora of caring. All evidence may be presented at trials (which are convened publicly when 12 or more People care enough to call for one).

You see communities with agreed-upon perspectives in morals, religions, flocking together, with no persecution. With no One seeing threat from another group, and with the People of the planet as a whole seeing danger only in Those who would choose to break the Laws, what is there to gain by creating a problem?

In fact, the third Law is virtually moot. There is no motive to defraud, really, and little to work with. Perhaps One covets a specialty belonging of anOther and contrives to lie to get the Other to give it to One...like a painting, say. But as a problem in society, it does not register.

Rare is there an issue with the breaking of the second Law. Why take what You may have for free, as far as needs (no One steals food), and why become a social pariah by choosing to take or damage the specialty items of anOther for mere desire?

In fact, the first Law is rarely broken. With no profit in war, no One finds that to be a solution, and besides, it breaks the first Law. (Self defense is reactionary, despite the ability to apply will to the reaction, but rarely do Any find They need to defend Themselves, being secure in Person.)

One thing You see is a system of "personal witness," Individuals may record Their perspective. There is no organized surveillance, but that All may record in public (it is an inalienable Right) and also in private, where failing to have permission from those One is with is seen as distasteful - to even a breaking of the third Law. Courtesy runs deeply, for the power is not through control of a money supply, but in how much support for YOUR work You have.

You notice that Some carry arms openly, and Many more do not, but that One who does not look armed could be.

What You don't see is stress. Not in a survival sense. You see encouragement in each child to find what They are good at, what They love, what fascinates Them. Children are all wanted, loved and cared for, watched and taught.

With a Betterment Ethic (where We here on Earth have an idea of "virtue" placed on "work" enriching the few, and placed by Those few who would profit from Us working to Our death for Them (wage/debt slaves)) You see People striving to make things good, and better where They see the possibility - to deliberately worsen things is to create a problem that will be solved for by Those who care. One rarely chooses to make it worse.

All around You, People are learning about what interests Them. There are open guilds where crafts and skills are taught by Those who know and love to teach, earning status as teachers. In fact, teaching is viewed as one of the high status choices One can make. Many are collaborating on projects to solve problems the BEST way - not the cheapest, or most profitable for someOne on the "inside." Or worse, as often happens here on Earth, leaving a problem unattended because there is no money.

No artist lacks tools, no musician lacks an instrument, no acting troupe lacks a stage, no scientist lacks a lab and collaborators, no mountain climber lacks the gear, no camper lacks a tent, no traveler lacks transportation, no One lacks amenities of highest quality.

There is no motive for planned obsolescence. All goods and services are offered at the highest quality, and the rampant waste produced by the profit-motivated making of inferior products that We see here on this planet does not exists.

There is no controlMIND (governMENT) with a central body that dictates to the masses what They can and cannot do. No statutes, acts, bills, rules, regulations, mandates, ordinances, constitutions, declarations, or other "laws" except as any community agrees to, and if One chooses not to abide by any such "laws," One is free to move elsewhere, and can easily do so.

The technology is very high, as there are no efforts to suppress technologies that threaten profit or power over Others. There is no such thing as profit (in any money-making sense) or power over Others. The only profit is in the social currencies: prestige, status, lauds, thanks, bragging rights, love, gratitude, fame, and other social earnings.

You are there on that planet. Take a moment and think of what it would be that YOU would choose to do...

And now that You see the happy and glorious life You would lead there, consider: Our planet is just as abundant as this planet I describe. If ALL of Us were to try to consume everything We could create with advanced farming methods such as vertical farming, if ALL of Us had a place that We were comfortable living in, if ALL Our products were made to last, there would be vastly more than We could eat, vastly more space than We could take up, vastly more in products than We could use.

This begs the question of why, when Earth has what Our imagined planet has, We see what We see today: poverty and privilege, oppression, wage/debt slavery, and profiteering (war profiteering, prison profiteering, pharma profiteering, medical profiteering, chemical profiteering, food, water, air profiteering)? It also leads to another question: can We create the Earth in the image of this dream planet?

The answers are simple - though You may think they're not. The articles above outline a path to creation of such a planet out of the mess the useless eliters are making of Earth now.

Do share widely. Only if We have widespread dialog on these ideas will We take the actions necessary to turn Our planet from this useless eliter wasteland into a place where Humanity truly can thrive.

Let us forgive the Down Trodden, who are reviled because they “take advantage of the system.”

Let us forgive the Power Elite who choose to create the Down Trodden by hiding technology and news.

Let us forgive the Toadies, who know they behave unethically, but the money and status lure them astray.

Let us forgive the Slaves, who have but a piece of the total picture and dutifully fulfill their Work ethic tasks in return for some time they think is free.

Let us forgive the Stars, the ones who show us what others want us to see.

Let us forgive the Influences who see Beings of human construction as cattle or sheep.

Let us forgive the Influences who have held so little faith in Beings of human construction.

Let us forgive the Defrauders, whether Down Trodden, Power Elite, Toadie, Slave, Star or Influence.

Let us forgive the Incurious, who reject much data and do not investigate.

Let us forgive those amongst us who do not believe as we do in matters of the Spirit.

Let us forgive Beings born of a different nature than ourselves, be the difference in preferences, physical configuration, capacity, ideology, coloration, or status – within the three Laws of Ethics.

Let us, instead, stand both tall and humble – tall in the knowledge that we are true Beings who are capable of Love, and humble in the awareness that we are equal to all others.

Let us show we are worthy of forgiveness and want our place as equals by forgiving our equals.
