NEW AEON: Theoretical Analog for Fundamental Change

This is the event horizon of the New Aeon, a time when the barriers that constrict the flow of magical energy are broken and dissipated, thus allowing for a new age of spiritual freedom and evolution. Control of the multitudes of humanity will be wretched from the hands of our modern rulers and their governments. Dogma will become a relic of times soon to be left behind. It will be a time of spiritual anarchy. It will be a time in which all religions, all creeds, and all spiritual paths must reevaluate and redefine themselves in a world where all roads can lead to paradise or desolation.
Religion has for millennia been the differentiating and defining factor in the relationships amongst human groups. Be these relationships of commerce, marriage, warfare, or territory. Religion has been the way in which humans have identified “us” and “them”. If there is only one right faith, and one group is in possession of that faith, it becomes easier on a psychological level to enter into conflict with other “divine” groups.  Throughout human history religions begin with the well meaning and insightful ideas and experience of one or a few individuals who come into contact with the divine, and end up being used as vehicles for control by those whom inherit or seize leadership. Religion has been the justifying banner on many unjustified battlefields.
This basic truth is also fundamental in the history and future of Empires. They begin as provocatively bold movements full of enthusiasm and ideals, and end up being the oppressive systems they were created to replace.  So both Empire and Religion, birthed of creativity and passion, are destined to fail. There is however, a third element to this system of revolution/institution/decay, it is Commerce. Just as the varieties of religions and governments are many, so are the systems of commerce, and like the institutions of Religion and Empire, Commerce fails again and again as time churns on.
Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Wicca, Democracy, Communism, Monarchy, Capitalism, Socialism, Bartering; all of these systems and institutions fail because of one thing. They do not see that they are all subject to the entropy of time and the chaos of chance.  If they become too solid, too organized, too stable, the fundamental elements of Reality tear them down.
In the wake of the New Aeon we are at this point of meltdown. How can we as a species cope with this bleak time when all we build seems meant to collapse and fail? The answer is neither easy nor overly palpable for those who cannot take the long view of our continued survival and success as a species.
Feudalism is the most basic and natural way of life. Once feudalism is clearly defined its governing tenants can be seen throughout nature as well as human society. Feudalism is the eternal symbiotic relationship between Ruler, Protector, and Provider. In medieval times the Rulers were the monarchs, the Protectors were knights, and the serfs the Providers. In bee colonies the Queen is the Ruler, the warrior drones are the Protectors, and the worker bees are the Providers. This metaphor of Ruler, Protector, and Provider can be as grand as the interpretation of Earth as Ruler, humanity as Protector, and Earth’s other creatures as Providers.  While this view is somewhat romantically in favor of human kind as the Protectors of Earth, but it is certainly closer to the actual state of affairs, all illusions aside, than seeing humanity as the Rulers. Or this metaphor can be as minute as to apply it to the fundamentals of cellular existence. It is arguable that what shall be called feudalism is a universal and completely natural system of life. With feudalism seen as a natural system it can be easily identified in most relationships, from Earth to Organism.
In the New Aeon our eyes will be opened to the spiritual connections amongst ourselves, our religions, and Reality itself. As stated previously, in this state of spiritual anarchy our social climate will reflect this turmoil.  As the global ascension occurs the element of Religion in humanity will reach equilibrium with time and chance, becoming adapted to it. Ascension by its very nature is a condition which allows spirituality and belief to ebb and flow alongside time and chaos, solid enough to support the soul but flexible enough to allow it to grow and change. From this ascension the institutions of Religion will rise and fall, as is their nature, but it will be the growing pains of evolution, not the warfare of dogma. The other two elements, Commerce and Empire, will coalesce in this new world. While in much of human history Empire and Commerce have been very distinguishable entities, soon they will become One.
In our modern world, as well as much of the ancient, the institution of Empire changes its visage often. While Commerce does not. Kings and armies come and go, but trade routes tend to remain unchanged and ever flowing. In the present, the Information Age and Global Market has allowed for the radical proliferation of a vessel of Commerce known as the Corporation. These business conglomerates are entities in and of themselves. The human element exists within the confines of the corporation, yet no one person has complete control over a long enough timeline to affect its overall evolution. Corporations to not die with their founders, they lumber on, buoyed by those in lower ranks moving up the ever-present corporate ladder.
As the Global Ascension sets in, the power of governments and despots will dissolve.  The working public will no longer support social parasites, unjust control from corporate leaders, or the work-a-day lifestyle.  The general public will expect and demand the time, tranquility, and funding to exercise their spiritual freedom and newfound insight.  The corporations will see the need to comply with such demands, after all, they are made up of people with in the same spiritual condition. The institutions of Empire and Commerce will become one. The corporations will become Empires, with the upper leadership levels of the corporations serving as the Rulers.  The skilled employees such as lawyers, programmers, security officers, the military, and other such persons will become the Protectors.  The working public and unskilled laborers will become the Providers. Because of their newfound spiritual condition and health workers will be more productive. Working conditions and the salary to buying power ratios will improve as these corporate fiefdoms prosper and compete.
This competition, not only for currency and materials, but also for employee retention, will create and environment that fill foster growth.  This New Aeon of Corporate Feudalism will allow for the institutions of Empire and Commerce to rise and fall with the natural progression of time and chance.  By existing in a state of spiritually healthy corporate feudalism the human species will survive, prosper, and evolve amidst the tumult of Reality unfolding.
