What is the definition and meaning of a meritocracy?
A meritocracy is a political system in which economic goods or political power are vested in individual people based on ability and talent, rather than wealth, social class, or race. Advancement in such a system is based on performance, as measured through examination or demonstrated achievement.
If you live in a meritocracy you can achieve upward social mobility through your own merits regardless of your social position. While that may not always seem to apply, it is an ideal, and it is good to strive to achieve ideals.
The problem of upward mobility in any country is not so much a factor of outside conditions as it is your own thoughts.
Little consideration is given to the inherent power of thought. Your own thoughts hold the answer to upward mobility regardless of what country or type of government it has, although it may be easier to achieve upward mobility in a true democracy and free enterprise system.
I am introducing a concept that may be new to you by saying your belief system is the key to upward mobility in all geographic locations and regardless of your circumstances.
“The only methods that work are taught here.”
— William Eastwood.
“If you want to advance yourself it is necessary to base your actions on the principles of accurate science rather than accept physicalism.
EINSTEIN
Had Albert Einstein been successful defending Bohm in 1949, this scientific paradigm may have replaced physicalism as our world’s accepted science.

EASTWOOD
William Eastwood applied Bohm’s science to test its ability to solve world problems and help people achieve their goals before Bohm even introduced “Wholeness and the Implicate Order” in 1980.
EASTWOOD: “The problem with our meritocracy and in general is that our many fields of science operate independently of each other. The various fields of science are not basing their research on recent discoveries at the top. This is why the entire world remains stuck and divided. When you understand and apply the correct science paradigm (from top physicists) you can have anything you want.”
— William Eastwood.
A TOP PHYSICISTS
“The doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of human consciousness turns out to be in conflict with quantum mechanics and with facts established by experiment.”
— Bernard d’Espagnat, a top theoretical physicist.
What does that statement mean?
It means that your consciousness is connected to physical objects. You can attract wealth, money, love, health or anything you want with the simple principles given in my books. I created these books to provide simple and easy to understand principles anyone and everyone can use to improve their life. These books all make your goals easy to achieve.
By seeing reality as it is—as an interactive web of energy—you increase your ability to influence matter and events.

“I worked for a Yale Professor at age 13 and owned three large homes on the coast of Maine by age 23 because International Philosophy works like magic.”
— William Eastwood.
You are NOT meant to suffer!
Reality is not the dark and gloomy picture that is taught in the classroom and depicted on the news. There is no reason whatsoever to suffer in life. You do not have to work at a job you do not like in a grueling 9 to 5 life of pain and suffering followed by death and extermination of your existence. It isn’t that way at all!
This way of thinking is a symptom of a flawed model rather than flawed people.
“By definition, the meaning of a meritocracy is a system that advances people according to merit, but those who determine merit reflect the values of the general population.” — William Eastwood.
Our meritocracy creates overload stress
In today’s globalized competitive world there is an enormous amount of pressure for outward achievement, from parents, peers and society in general. This is only one area where our cultural and social directives go wrong.
These demands are far too much, and we have people snapping. School shootings, homelessness, incarceration and division are a product of our meritocracy.
Excessive work and struggle unaided by thought management and learning is tragic. When we do not understand that our thoughts create our reality, we become stuck in the meritocracy.
Without application of conscious creation, there is little chance of effortless flow and achievement. This is a problem for people who are experiencing the hardships of the world’s myths that have us creating war, a climate emergency and food shortages that are on a dangerous trajectory.
No one is stopping people from learning but themselves.
“By definition, the meaning of a meritocracy is a system that advances people according to merit. The problem with that is mainstream values are based on a false premise.” — William Eastwood.
Who are you going to listen to, those who were swayed by POLITICS, or 5 Nobel Prize winners?
An outward focused meritocracy
American values in particular, stress the need to focus outward. This leads us to a situation in which we lose our connection with spirituality or our inner roots of sustenance. Our objective science is mechanistic because it does not realize an inner source dimension even exists. This is a dangerous lack of understanding that is causing our public and private problems worldwide.

From the perspective of physicalism, you may think it is impossible for nations and faiths to be united, and for peace to prevail. But Eastwood says our problems are a result of physicalism myths and that such a world is indeed possible.
He is two steps ahead of everyone with a complete plan of implementation.
This is your exit ramp from a failed physicalist world.

What are the problems with our meritocracy?
Nothing is wrong with our meritocracy except for the values upon which we have settled. Those values have cut us off from our source to the point where we do not even realize what and who we are, or that an inner reality even exists.
Either we wake up or we will be stuck in a nightmare that will continue to grow worse. If you want to escape the problems that are typical of a meritocracy, understanding will help. It is what we do with our mind that makes a difference.

You are creating your own fantastic hologram — your own physical reality and time and space. Your consciousness exists in the field, not the brain, which is a transmitter. The moment is a range of perception. Your consciousness is infinite, indestructible and multidimensional.
You create your reality
- There is no singular, one-world timeline.
- You do not progress in a linear manner within time from birth to death.
- You are not a three-dimensional self that is moving through a three-dimensional world from birth to death.
- You and the world do not exist that way.
The Uncharted Territory In Physics
Quantum mechanics says that reality is a simulation.
Clarification: You are not a puppet, but you are in a matrix.

How you are creating a three-dimensional movie—your life
Imagine that in your living room you put on a holographic headset. At the click of a switch, you seem to no longer be in your living room.
Your senses are now telling you that you are actually on a tropical beach. As you reach down to touch the imaginary sand, sensor pads in gloves you are wearing give the sensation of pressure on your fingers.
This is an analogy to explain the purpose of your body and brain. Your body and brain are like a holographic headset that allows you to perceive a 3D movie you call your life.

You are not moving through time and space from birth to death―THAT IS THE PROJECTION YOU ARE CREATING.
If you do not see the objects behind you, they do not exist physically. There is a field of infinite probabilities behind you. When you turn to see what is there, you collapse one specific probability from an infinite range of probable events.
- There is no singular, one-world timeline.
- You do not progress in a linear manner within time from birth to death.
- You are not a three-dimensional self moving through a three-dimensional world from birth to death.
- You and the world do not exist that way.
When you become aware of how you are creating your reality, you can awaken from the trance. It is then that you can create a-dream-come-true, in which you are surrounded by your every wish.
By applying the principles of conscious creation carefully, I will tell you exactly how you can bring the production in line with what you want.
I have simplified the science into its most important practical insights that you can use to create what you want in life. "International Philosophy" gives you simple terms and guidance that is easy to understand in any language.

Can thoughts create matter? The question is answered
If we are believed to be products of survival of the fittest and accidents of evolution, we have no real intrinsic value. We do not even get out the gate and we are already devalued. Our official belief system is based on physicalism, Darwinism and an underlying distrust of human nature. The meritocracy values a kind of “anything goes” competition. This paradigm leads to chaos.
Within this context nothing of real value tends to be advanced. You could be an inept moron with no belief system or values, and you could get advanced. President Donald Trump embodies the values of our meritocracy and in doing so illustrates what will happen if we do not change our official mainstream beliefs. Disasters by morons will follow.
Those who are not cherished according to the values of the meritocracy could be brilliant people who are in the worst jobs or even homeless or in prison.

What is the definition of a meritocracy?
A meritocracy is a socio-political system based on the belief that leaders should be chosen for their abilities and not because of their wealth or birth. In a meritocracy those who achieve according to current social values get promoted and ultimately serve to guide others into the same system of values.
In a meritocracy, merit and hence upward mobility is based on talent, effort, and achievement, rather than factors such as heredity or wealth, sexuality, race, gender or age.
If there is to be a hierarchy, this is ideal. But who decides what deserves merit and why?
In any society, the long-standing consensus as to what determines merit comes from past generations. Values from the past are transferred to children and when they grow up, their values determine who deserves merit.
Our values, however, are based on the myths of physicalism. Internal science leads us in a more accurate direction.

When it comes to civilization’s values, obviously, the underlying problem has not been solved. The religious-scientific paradigm is not working very well. We would not have a renewed nuclear arms race if our values and beliefs were correct. We would not have a world-wide proliferation of cruelty if our institutions were based on solid and accurate principles.

How does the meritocracy affect me?
As long as you operate within the mainstream myths you can advance yourself, but if you are an intelligent person operating outside of collective superstition you will get nowhere in the eyes of the meritocracy.
Trying to convince a friend that their thoughts create their reality, or that work has limited value, is a bit like throwing jewels to hogs. The hogs will not understand the value of your goals and so upward movement may be difficult for you. Our civilization is outward oriented to the degree that we do not realize who we are or that we create our reality.
Examining our deepest beliefs or values
Our values are a product of previous generations and established paradigms of religion, materialism and Darwinism.
Materialism is a set of values that emphasizes everything physical. How many people understand that their thoughts create their reality.

Why was "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium," so important in world history?
"The Solution..." has the intrigue of Nicolaus Copernicus's "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium," a book that was important because from it we learned that the earth was not the center of the universe.
Now another paradigm-shift is taking place, and "The Solution..." has many similarities to Copernicus's book.
"The human race is in the most important transition since the birth of self-consciousness." — William Eastwood.
"When you become aware of how you are creating your reality, you can learn how easy it is to change it." — William Eastwood.
This unique book has the potential to stop violence, division, unhappiness, destructive institutions and even illness, and will instead create peace and prosperity for humanity.
More importantly, Eastwood's book tells you exactly how to create wealth, money, love, health and everything desirable based on his formula derived largely from the science of theoretical physicist, David Bohm, a former colleague and friend of Albert Einstein.
The intrigue, the mystery... what is so important about this book?
"The Solution..." has the intrigue of Nicolaus Copernicus's "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium," a book that changed the universe.
— "We can literally change the course of civilization by lifting the race to a higher path through implementing the solution." — Mario Fusco, TH.D., RS.D, B.S.C.
The Rosenthal effect explains why scientists can prove their theories even if they are incorrect! This is the reason for dangerous fake news and division in America.
Eastwood does not use scientific terminology that is difficult to understand. Every book he writes tells you how to create what you want in life in a plain and simple language that anyone in any country can understand.
Why is Eastwood someone we should listen to?
Is it because he worked for a Yale professor in a research and development facility on a mysterious invention at age 13 — a modern version of an astrolabe accurate enough to be used by surveyors?
Not necessarily. But it does make you wonder what this kind of person wants to tell you after 45 years of research into the real cause of humanity's problems and the science of someone Albert Einstein worked with and defended at Princeton.
Do not neglect the solution to all of humanity's problems and the secret to creating the life you want! Everything you need to know to create anything and solve any problem, public or private. Get “The Solution...” now, and add it to your best book collection!
"People who go around learning on their own often turn out to be pretty interesting themselves." — Carolyn Battista, 1979 interview of Eastwood at age 16.
“My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.”

The world has firmly accepted the views of Isaac Newton for endless seasons into antiquity. Classic physics and our five senses seem to agree that specific points in time and space are fixed and unchanging. Then along came Einstein. In 1905, Einstein published his theory of special relativity, which asserted that everything was relative, and nothing was fixed. In a series of groundbreaking lectures in Berlin, he rocked the world with almost unimaginable disclosures. Reality was not what anyone had thought it was!
We had put the pieces of the world together the wrong way and Einstein was informing us of that, yet no one knew what to do with that information. It didn’t really go anywhere, and the world’s thinking hasn’t changed.
All that is necessary for the individual and humanity to thrive is to accept a more accurate science.
The Early Experiments
This is where Internal Science has its roots.
IP Definition: Internal Science: A complete scientific paradigm and worldview asserting that consciousness is the primary Source of reality. It recognizes the physical world as a holographic projection of an inner, non-physical Field of Probabilities, shifting the foundation of truth from mathematical equations to the direct experience and documentation of subjective intelligence.
IP: International Philosophy—the practical application of Internal Science.
When I was conducting my first independent research experiments beyond that barrier at age 12, I was operating entirely outside the boundaries of what 1975 orthodoxy could name or comprehend. I was accessing the generative, non-physical framework that the rest of the scientific world was only just beginning to build a vocabulary for.
Stochastic Electrodynamics (SED): Physicists like Timothy Boyer in the 1970s, and later Harold Puthoff, Bernhard Haisch, and Alfonso Rueda, began publishing papers specifically using the phrase Zero Point Field.
I was so incredibly impressed by what I was learning in the 1970s that I decided to conduct an experiment. That initial experiment was such a massive paradigm shift in my life that it led to over 50 years of additional experiments that explored what existed beyond The Zero Point Field (ZPF).
In the Internal Science paradigm, the Zero Point Field is the energetic border town where the non-physical universe transforms into the physical world.
A Glimpse Beyond the Horizon
To detail exactly what occurred next would require a Christopher Nolan-level cinematic canvas—a mind-bending, visually spectacular experience that you will be able to see in breathtaking detail once a final commitment is secured with a producer to bring The Dragon Slayer Prophecy film to the global screen. The film will serve as the real-world landing strip for these discoveries, featuring retrocausality experiments and the actual navigation beyond the Zero Point Field and through time.

Our values originate from the Middle East, and they are derogatory and incorrect. Freedom, joy and pleasure is good. Work is good, but too much work is not good. Struggle and suffering is unnatural. You can have whatever you want in life and you can live in joy if you are willing to embrace the hidden truths about reality and who you really are. You create your reality by what you think and feel.
The concepts conveyed in this website are within these books.
