What if you where working to build the proverbial tower of Babel?  Maybe you lived nearby and wanted to be a part of the “greatest show on Earth”.  Maybe you were a slave?  Or it was the only way to feed yourself or your family.  Maybe it really was a spiritual exercise to try and assault the gates of heaven.

Decentralization is not an optimizing process.  Things can be atomized beyond their optimum strength and functionality. Whereas cItadelization is a process of optimization because its goal is not to be small or independent but to best contain and fulfill a function required by mission versus outside forces.  The sphere is the natural citadel forced upon groups of similar matter from soap bubbles to planets and stars.

When I was a young naval officer we were just getting the first satellite navigation and Hewlett-Packard calculators that could do trigonometry.  I was lucky to have been already trained on and practiced the centuries old techniques of celestial astronomy and pencil mathematics.  Many people have asked me how I have discovered these previously uncharted concepts of bioadministration, cosmonomics and citadelization.  My training in celestial navigation was a key.

We humans have collected enough of our history to know there are regular periods of group insanity that infect the human mind.  From the bible story of the Tower of Babel to the recent examples of the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the Cambodian Killing Fields, we humans regularly become the tool of our own destruction.  First, we will theorize why this happens and then apply the principles of citadelization as a defense.

Part of the difference between decentralization and citadelization lies in the layering of collective self-interest.  To be completely self-sufficient is nearly impossible and an unwise use of time and resources when compared with the camaraderie and security of gathering into a small tribe.  The Phalanx of ancient warfare was so successful because of its network effect of group attack and defensive shielding.  There is an ideal size for any organization based upon its purpose and it is only rarely a solo operation.

Our mind is a force that requires serious strategies of counterbalance and limitation.  Sleep is the most obvious and routine bodily process we use to break harmful patterns of excess and abuse.  Today we are going to discuss how our bodies create what is commonly known as our ego as a defensive perimeter around our heart to prevent the mind’s easy access to our stores of emotional and physical energy.  The heart citadel.

The power of the mind depends on its ability to gather and coalesce sensation from the body into attention.  With adequate attention the mind can assimilate the input from the senses, search its memory banks for similarities and determine a course of action.  Our mind is our tactical leader, no matter its I.Q.

I am writing this on election day in the US. Democracy is defined as majority rule whereas citadelization is the atomization of rule into many autonomous layers closest to purpose and action. Even though the US is not a true democracy (it is a representative democracy), exploring the relationship and opposition between the two is helpful to reveal how the two strategies of majority rule and citadelization co-existing is healthier than one alone.

A cult is an alternative belief system which requires isolation from the greater organism within which the cult exists because its internal logic, practices and rules cannot be defended in the light of day and by consensus reality. Whereas citadelization is the practice of creating separation from the consensus reality because of the danger of being the next lemming walking off a cliff led by a culture in terminal decline.

Within a complex society and its protective system of justice, there is a new form of disease which presents significant challenge to the organization. In an individual human, this new challenge is called a viral infection.  The first viral infection is thought to be yellow fever isolated in 1881. So, in the evolutionary time scale, humanity is in the middle of a war against a brand new type of disease.

When people think about magic, it is usually images from the television that arise. Witches or wizards speaking powerful words and doing terrible things. That fantasy overlay in our mind blocks us from seeing the real magic being word and image smithed by politicians, intelligence agencies and advertisers all around us. Citadelization is white magic, the defensive kind, that shields our personal space. Inside and outside.

Immune cells and blood cells are unique in that they arise from the marrow of our hollow bones.  They are cells apart from all other cells which arise from the parentage within the organ structure in which they will serve their entire lifespan.  Immune cells and blood cells are gifted with the ability to travel whereas all others are born in station, unable to migrate to a new home, a new job, a new set of friends. Being stationary makes a citadel the natural structural response and method of definition.

Every human is familiar with their brain’s ability for rational thought and decision.  Nearly all organized schooling is focused on training the brain how to remember and to think.  This system of internal communication within the body, heart, mind system is relatively well understood within science and medicine as electrical signals traveling through synapses at the speed of light.  And our minds are well equipped with five sense organs to help direct our thinking and our control over our life.

I recently made the case for bioadministration as the most human and fair way to organize humanity to bring harmony to our fundamentally unstable system.  Today we will look at the three body problem from a cost-benefit analysis to the individual cell and concentrations of similar cells called organs.  After all, a human is a collection of trillions of individual cells who have assembled into a single organization.  Was that an evolutionary mistake?

For our next civilization to evolve, or even form, will require empowering the people as sovereign nodes fully sharing their unique expression of life within a win-win ecosystem.  That is a tall order, especially in the face of the emerging technocracy.

Here at BCC Institute, a patriarchy is not defined as a group of men running the world.  The masculine power of knowing and wielding light can emanate from a biological male or female.

The patriarchy is the mind of any organization of humanity with its masculine, feminine and unified compartments.

In an ideal world, a system of patriarchy would renew itself and train its next leaders by the structure and design of the system itself.  Fraternities and secret societies attempt this with hazings and ritualized suffering to weed out the uncommitted and make more valuable the secrets at the core of that belief system and patriarchy.  On the downside, succession becomes self-referential and the original focus of the system becomes staying alive, instead of its original purpose and service. 

I have been studying the idea of a planned reboot of our civilization for over 25 years.  In 1997 I formulated a Presidential campaign with the platform of a one-year controlled reboot of the United States to celebrate a new millennium.  I worked out the operational plan and justification based on cost-benefit to the soul of our nation versus the machine of the modern economy.  What happened was, I decided that shutting down the whole economy at once was too authoritarian and should be voluntary.  I went first.

It’s all the rage to claim a civil war is about to break out in the United States between the left and right.  We also have predictions and experiences across Western Civilization of revolts against medical tyranny. Before we panic, remember the ancient model of our Republic and subsequent Empire, the Western Roman Empire, experienced 150 named revolts and civil wars. And the Eastern successor of Byzantium had another 125.

I have stated the fundamental force creating citadels is the desire to know thyself.  That is half the ideal. Often times among humans this is really just being lazy.  We might lock ourselves into our room and watch television. And as dysfunctional as this type of retreat from life can become, it is still based on the desire to create physical and energetic boundaries to be at rest and at peace even if we use it to give our attention to something that has none of our soul attached.

The core tenet of citadelization is to “know thyself” so as to ensure each interaction with other humans is a well-negotiated win-win relationship.  Civil war can only come about by the systemic and sustained collection of poor choices in relationships that should have never been agreed to in the first place.  Over time, the win-win relationship that founded the human organization becomes compromised by pockets of self-interest no longer connected to the original agreement.  Then, a civil war must be fought or cancer and death set in.
