Yoga, politics, and the blockchain

Yoga practice is basically community organizing.  The community is the body - the arms, the legs, the trunk, etc.  learning how to work together for maximum effect with minimum effort.  The community of parts working together for the benefit of the whole takes place in yoga practice as well as in political governance. The fractal nature of reality means that change in the microcosm is recapitulated in the macrocosm - you knew that already, right?

The ego is the deep state.  Yoga ruins the ego, because yoga takes us out of our head into our body.  We start breathing, and we start feeling, and we're no longer thinking about the stuff our ego wants us to keep thinking about.

Imagine a pyramid with an all-seeing eye on the top.  That's the deep ego - it's in charge of the body, and so the body does things that are good for the ego even if they aren't good for the body.  The deep ego rules the body, and the deep state rules the government.

Now imagine a torus - a tall donut, with energy moving up the inside and down the outside.  Instead of a pyramid with an ego at the top we now have a personality that is integrated as a whole - the feet, the arms, the gut, the heart, everything is felt.  The transition away from the pyramid towards the torus is the transition away from the ego into the body - the fruit of yoga practice.  Yoga can actually be defined as the journey from our heads to our hearts.

The ancients taught that as above, so below, and as within, so without.  As in the macrocosm, so in the microcosm.  Now that quantum physics has established that we live in a fractal universe, these laws are seen to be valid.  And so we see that the movement away from the ego towards the body taking place within us is replicated in the outside world by the movement away from the deep state towards cybernetic political representation - direct political representation through online media platforms.  Cybernetic political representation is the death knell of the deep state, which can only operate in an absence of transparency.

 Through social media, we will be voting not just our politics but our entire range of preferences, and these preferences will be stored on a public, decentralized ledger.   The blockchain is the public ledger which non locally and transparently stores and displays our preferences.  In the end the blockchain is how we will achieve voting transparency and a stable, peaceful, participatory, sustainable Republic, which is the prerequisite to a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable civilization.  Using the blockchain we will voluntarily invest in the commons, in cost-effectively optimal fashion, donating our attention and our resources to the causes which are worthy or them.  Preventative care is both cost-effective and compassionate, so we will use the blockchain to invest in the long-term health and welfare of our planet and our collective capacity to nurture and provide for future generations.  Government won't do it - government is in the business of creating war, conflict, scarcity... divide and consume. Government is doing the work of the uninitiated masculine, just like religion.  This is going to happen on the open market, because the general public is destined to invest heavily in any viable alternative to unsustainable civilization.  It's not communism, it's not capitalism, it's not exactly socialism, its more like socialnetworkism.  Yup.  Not even joking.

The robots are going to take all our jobs, so after the debt jubilee, you know what we're going to do?  We're going to collect our universal basic income while we sit around and vote our preferences for a few hours a day from the convenience of our smartphone, because civic participation is not just our duty but our job.  You may think I'm joking, but I assure you I come from the future and I'm living through time backwards, and the reality I'm describing is the reality that I remember from a long time ago - I'm just trying to get back home.

Anyway.  It's not a bad future, I must say-
