What is authoritarianism?

Love is not authoritarian. Consciousness is not authoritarian. This website is not authoritarian. I do not advocate for hierarchical power structures because all consciousness is good and all consciousness is powerful and in control of its own experience. There is no evil enemy, everyone is with you. Any behavior that seems to suggest otherwise is due to the beliefs of the person doing harm. False justification of harm comes from authoritarianism and anti-intellectualism.

Internal Science and International Philosophy return power to the individual and give everyone control over their reality. Cults do the opposite, seeking to control their members because they are seen as being inferior to the leader and thus in need of control (for their own good).

Authoritarian beliefs are coming into power in the United States at the time of this writing. An authoritarian believes people are basically wicked, but not the group to which they belong. The authoritarian punishes people for their badness. Ultimately, the authoritarian says that the solution to world problems is to get rid of what is bad.

When paranoid beliefs are in power, as they were with Hitler, the first to go is the group that is blamed for everything wrong in the nation or world. Then the targets move closer and closer to the center of power, removing, punishing and executing.

Only authoritarianism justifies cruelty. If you do any kind of research at all, (or just open your eyes and look around you), it becomes pretty obvious who is falsely justifying harm. The people in prisons and those who guard them all tend to be authoritarian. Those that are authoritarian will justify a war on everything that they blame for the problems in their own life, and war is no good, especially considering that the universe and human nature is altruistic.

The main article continues after these informative and relevant book excerpts.

“How Do We Save Democracy? — What Happens After the Far Right Fails?”

Tribal, male dominated religion

Authoritarianism is a mix of tribal religion and anti-intellectualism. Civilizations have disappeared off the face of the earth because of it.

Religions with a single male god are authoritarian.  Political leaders like Hitler are authoritarian.

We still live in an authoritarian world. Even most democrats are authoritarian, but perhaps to a lesser degree than the far-right.

—From the new 2025 book “How Do We Save Democracy? — What Happens After the Far Right Fails?”  by William Eastwood for Earth Network. (It is my civil duty to offer this book for what I pay for distribution, $1.99.)

“Authoritarianism demonizes humans and then seeks to control them. Conspiracy theorists that look for an evil enemy are authoritarian. Authoritarians do not demonize themselves, but those they feel are unlike themselves. Authoritarians feel that people and human nature is basically bad. This is their whole reason and seeming justification for their stance in which they seek to control the situation and everyone in it.”

“You Are a Beautiful Person – Key to Freedom“

“As you are beautiful, people are beautiful, even if they don’t believe they are. When we believe we are anything but beautiful people we create what is less than beautiful. Anything that is incorrect in this way is like fake news. We start believing it because everyone is shouting the same rubbish. But who wants to be surrounded by trash? What good is it to watch the news when we are only going to take in the energy of deplorable creation unbecoming of us and contrary to our true beautiful nature?”

—from the Dynamic book, “You Are a Beautiful Person – Key to Freedom“ 2025 edition, by William Eastwood for Earth Network.

“In our history we had no way of knowing what we now know. We received our education from whatever culture we were a part of. To be good was to acknowledge that God is good, and often to also think of our own being as being sinful or in some way unworthy. Being good in the eyes of the church and society was to own our unworthiness and to reject the sin of pride. We certainly were not told to grant ourselves the same value that we assigned to our God. This is why we have so many problems in the world today.

“Our values are a carryover from days of tribal religion that told us we were not beautiful beings, but sinful and inclined to do wrong.”

—from the Dynamic book, “You Are a Beautiful Person – Key to Freedom“ 2025 edition, by William Eastwood for Earth Network.

“Science is schizophrenic: The arms and legs of the body of science [the various fields of science] don’t listen to the head (the physicists who reveal the nature of reality, [i.e. quantum mechanics].”

“To change a projection by an old-fashioned movie projector, we must change the film. Attacking the screen on which the projection is viewed does not solve the problem depicted. When we understand that our reality is a projection, we begin to realize that attacking the movie screen does not work. It is then that we learn how to change our thoughts and beliefs in the correct way.”

—From the new 2025 book “How Do We Save Democracy? — What Happens After the Far Right Fails?”  by William Eastwood for Earth Network. (It is my civil duty to offer this book for what I pay for distribution, $1.99.)

Impending disaster can be averted

“The New United States President Donald Trump is attempting to shift the country to an autocracy too quickly for his actions to succeed. He is creating a backlash. He is doing damage out in the open and as a result, the country is fighting back. For this reason, he will fail. However, with the democracy weakened by his actions, it is conceivable that someone worse will be able to replace him in the 2024 election.

“If the far-right is failing worldwide. We thus have an opportunity to save democracy and reverse the damage already done. The alternative would lead to the destruction of civil society. It is not in your best interest to focus on the destruction of civilization itself. The possibilities are so negative that most reporters, journalists and writers don’t want to describe what may happen.

“If we shout that the sky is falling then we are doing what the far-right does.

“A nation’s healing-crisis can mobilize people to do something about their plight. Disaster or near disaster can consolidate an entire country. Something good can come out of something bad that leads us all to the next level. It is possible the entire country will pull together against Trump, the Republican party and this particular type of abuse of power. The result could be a profound quantum leap!

“There are probabilities brewing that will introduce new thinking to the masses. A revival, an inspirational leader, books, film and other unexpected developments that occur due to the positive thinking of a few can trigger a shift in thinking for the majority. Beliefs can be changed.”

The core issue generating authoritarianism

The traditional science paradigm is based on authoritarianism. An accidental universe is assumed to be inferior to the God-like male intellect that attempts to control anything inferior to itself—which is basically everything.

For this reason, authoritarians cannot be reasoned with. They think everyone and everything is broken, and this predominates in the United States as well as in countries like North Korea.

Authoritarianism demonizes humans and then seeks to control them. Conspiracy theorists that look for an evil enemy are authoritarian. Authoritarians do not demonize themselves, but those they feel are unlike themselves, but authoritarians feel that people and human nature is basically bad. This is their whole reason and seeming justification for their stance in which they seek to control the situation and everyone in it.

Authoritarianism is tribal. Cults are based on authoritarianism. Consciousness itself is democratic. All are equal. The worldview that says some things are lesser than others is basically authoritarian in essence. Authoritarianism seeks to control nature, manipulate environments and people because it is based on the idea of a broken and bad reality as coming from Darwinism, male religion and physicalism.

There is nothing authoritarian on this website.

 

What is an authoritarian and authoritarianism?

Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by a controlling government and the rejection of democratic values and human rights. Authoritarianism is the advocacy of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom. Authoritarianism is characterized by the lack of concern for the wishes or opinions of others.

Authoritarian behavior is controlling.  A strict authoritarian demands obedience. Authoritarian governments are based on strict enforcement of laws with little tolerance for dissent.

Authoritarianism is based on a belief system. The beliefs of an authoritarian originate from physicalism, tribal religion and Darwinism.

.

Families who believe in original sin or “might is right” give rise to authoritarian children, especially when there is a strong distrust of human nature, which there typically is. Authoritarians tend to “report on” others who do not follow strict rules of conduct, belief and behavior that are unreasonably imposed on them.

.

• The authoritarian is taught that certain groups or categories of people cannot be trusted.
• Authoritarianism is antagonistic to self-trust or a belief in the goodness of human nature.

.

Often authoritarians distrust themselves, but this disdain for self is suppressed. As a result, an authoritarian may unconsciously punish themselves in various ways. They may also subconsciously project this emotionally held distrust of other people. Outwardly they may attack or prosecute others with vigilant righteousness.

 

 

 

Why does Albert Einstein say this?

---

“The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.“

― Albert Einstein

 

 

It’s because by believing Internal Science and International Philosophy—that you are a good person, that you create your reality & that the universe is friendly rather than hostile —creates that as your reality.

 

“Political, scientific, religious, educational, medical and economic forces in our society are telling you that there is something wrong with you. I am here to tell you that there is nothing wrong with you — that’s contemporary superstition being projected.”

— William Eastwood

NEW BOOK Published May, 2025! By: William Eastwood for Earth Network

 

Be prepared to meet the future

---

Based on a 50-year study, Eastwood — founder of Internal Science, International Philosophy, the Altruistic Movement, the Inner UN, & Mission Great Civilization at earth-network.org — warns you about what is going to happen in this 2025 publication. The far-right will fail & you need to know what to expect & how it may or may not impact you.

We are in rapid decline as a civilization. Things could go bad very quickly. What does that mean & what kind of damage will they leave in the aftermath? Eastwood explains what you can expect.

The worldwide authoritarian takeover is being led by American billionaires who have deceived the public. Elon Musk, the wealthiest man in America is worth $406 billion which is more than 52% of the lower tier of Americans. Yet, that's not enough. President Trump, who is dismantling America like a chop shop & selling its parts to foreign governments & the highest bidders, is joining Musk in a plan that will leave you in shock.

Legislation to provide massive tax breaks for the billionaire's club will be paid for by cuts in health care, and other essential programs for the poor, elderly & children. At the same time, they are attempting to silence the free press in their efforts to defraud the world.

The impact will be global. We need to prepare now for what is coming.

The United States & the world could be headed for disaster. But we may be able to avoid a dark chapter in the human journey. Eastwood has a complete blueprint and action plan for new institutions, a new world constitution and guidelines for the individual, groups and nations in a 2025 5-book-set.

William Eastwood, originator of Internal Science and International Philosophy, began developing his philosophy at 12 years of age. The outcome of his first test of the philosophy was spectacular. It resulted in him working for a Yale University professor in a research and development facility on a secret invention when he was only 13.

Now you can enjoy the insights of his research & save yourself & democracy from the threat. Get this amazing book today & add it to your "on-of-a-kind" book collection! Doing so supports Mission Great Civilization at earth-network.org.

Authoritarianism is a psychological condition that varies. It is a form of criminal thinking in that it results in a false justification of harmful acts committed against others whether laws are enforced or broken in order to incarcerate or violate others. You will find authoritarians on both sides of the law.

.

Hybrid belief systems that combine religion and Darwinian concepts give rise to an authoritarian set of values and beliefs that are deeply damaging and destructive.

 

 

 

 

Reemerging 40 years after working 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 — and creating Internal Science, International Philosophy, publishing 30 BOOKS, and 500+ articles in five years — because he has a PLAN.

Reality is a projection.  Events are a hologram.  Consciousness creates matter.  Scientific facts  Proof your thoughts create reality & form matter.  Your mind creates your reality.  Einstein.  Consciousness is altruistic. You create your reality. You are a genius  You have unlimited power  Intelligent love creates the universe.

.

.

An authoritarian’s controlling behavior is driven by the belief that there is something deeply wrong or disturbing with human nature. Authoritarians will find something wrong with others to condemn and control. One who feels this way will often be militaristic or in some way will set themselves up to control or police people. Authoritarians will often take on roles of enforcement, working for courts, police, or military. On the other hand, they may be lawbreakers, tramping on the rights of those who they believe deserve no mercy. They may be hellfire ministers or backwoods Americans that just rage against homosexuals, Democrats or other groups they have used as a lightning rod for their anger and frustration. Young authoritarians will often pick on weaker children or boys who show what they think of as being feminine or passive characteristics.

.

Authoritarians hide behind strict rules and codes of conduct. They are thriving because of physicalism, which gives rise to authoritarianism because of its highly negative aspects. Darwinism and traditional religions come from physicalism.

.

 

 

 

 

The solution to the world’s problems and authoritarianism

In contrast to the authoritarian belief system and condition is the humanitarian who sees good in people and therefore wants to help others. Those who are humanitarian believe people are good and therefore give people the right to self-govern as in a democracy.

To be autonomous is to self-govern. Humanitarians believe in autonomy or the good in human nature and this drives their desire to help people. The American experiment and constitution is based on the virtue and rights of the individual.

“Reset” yourself. Get rid of destructive beliefs and begin to live.

Don’t be pulled into negativity: Don’t degrade people & don’t ever believe those who do

Authoritarianism is like a plague or pandemic that is causing the downfall of our civilization as it has done with other civilizations. My work and mission are based on the science of human altruism. Earth Network of Altruistic, Autonomous Individuals is based on my idea that people are good and capable of self-governing.

My first book, “The Solution…” is about the distrust of human nature threatening our civilization.

Selecting identity

"The ideal self you aspire to be already exists. I am not speaking symbolically. That authentic self is not just an idea, it exists within you now. There are many variations of the self you are within you. I call them probable selves.

"The fact that you have many probable selves that are components of your overall identity and whole self is supported Einstein’s relativity, David Bohm (former protégé of Einstein) and by the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics which is hugely popular among physicists."

The remainder of the article contains portions of the previous article:

What are the core beliefs of authoritarians and bullies?

Authoritarian and bully psychology are based on a core set of beliefs in human unworthiness. It is an internal paradigm or set of values usually adopted early in life. Usually, the authoritarian isolates a specific group of people and projects all the negative ideas she or he holds about human nature on that group.

An authoritarian thinks the better people should control the inferior people. An authoritarian will degrade the people that he or she feels are inferior.

As an example, a prison guard or correctional officer often has an authoritarian view and feels society must be protected from inferior and unworthy people. Prisoners often feel the same way, that many inmates are just bad and must be held down to protect others. 

Authoritarianism provides a rational or false justification for degrading others because it is based on negative theories about human nature that come from religion and materialism. Most bullies, those who abuse others, commit crimes, impose fines or prosecute are authoritarians.

People who intend to do good in the world yet think others are evil often begin to do “evil” themselves. They didn’t originally intend to be bad, but their behavior follows their beliefs, and this is what unfortunately happens. Putin, for example, wants to kill all the bad people.

An authoritarian does not like going easy on people, but wants strict punishments enforced by courts. Those that are punished often have a similar underlying belief in human unworthiness. They see society as the enemy and when they are punished, they are enraged. Punishment leads to or intensifies their hatred that drives them further into authoritarianism.

A humanitarian will always help and forgive whereas an authoritarian thinks some or all people are just broken or evil and cannot be fixed.

Authoritarians order humans around because of a deep and damaging distrust of human nature. A fanatical distrust of humans defines authoritarian thinking.

America is an authoritarian nation. The U.S. incarcerates a higher percentage of its population than any other country. Rather than help people for being good, the idea is to harm the bad people. This way of thinking is authoritarianism.

An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

Punishment spreads and drives an anti-social virus of contempt for human nature. The Earth Network plan to solve world problems is a powerful movement away from authoritarianism and toward life as opposed to death and destruction.

An authoritarian may try to be a good person because he is running from the belief that he is not good. People who are authoritarian will usually try to be good people while projecting contempt onto others. Authoritarianism is very much in line with mainstream beliefs in America and in the world.

Authoritarians tend to have a preference for strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom, desires, values, beliefs and opinions. Authoritarians tend to see some people as being inferior in some way. A person who is believed to be unable to make good decisions may be the “victim” of an authoritarian who insists on making life decisions for them.

An example would be Jim Jones, who orchestrated the Jonestown murder-suicide believed in the sinfulness of the world. In the end, all Jim Jones could see was the evil he felt was everywhere and in all people unlike himself. Jones preached the wickedness of others to the point of controlling his followers to commit the murder of  their own children. Vladimir Putin is another example.

Your own evolution

---

One of the most important requirements of effective manifesting is to be able to see the world differently. You can’t just keep thinking in conventional terms yet operate by a non-conventional paradigm. To control what you create in life you must control your thinking. The first thing to control is your perception of the nature of reality. Your worldview and your methods must be in agreement.

—from "The Solution..." A Dynamic book by William Eastwood for Earth Network.

 

You must change your worldview to change your life

---

Your immediate reality is a composite of your own life force projected onto a platform that is like an invisible stage we share with others. We telepathically agree on where and when we are. These are the rules of the game we agree to when we enter the physical system (a specific range of electromagnetic frequencies).

—from "The Solution..." A Dynamic book by William Eastwood for Earth Network.

 

You have full freedom to create whatever you want within the boundaries given. The intellect creates beliefs, thoughts and feelings and the inner self uses these as a yardstick to create events. There is a time lag between subjective activity and its materialization. Emotions, however, manifest quickly. The time-lag protects you from having fearful and negative thoughts of your own manifest instantly. The momentum of other thoughts and emotions modify your fears so that they do not blow up in your face.

The inner self is using the physical system to teach itself the responsibility of directing energy. It has created the intellect through which it channels its energy to allow it to exist in the physical system. The universe itself is of good intent, and positive thoughts are therefore easier to manifest.

The intellect is part of the inner self which is multidimensional and exists in simultaneous time, or what I call the spacious present. The physical world is the dream your inner self is having.

Your whole being has three levels while in material existence. You have a 1) inner consciousness or inner ego, 2) an intellect or outer ego, and 3) a body consciousness or cellular consciousness. Without the body's consciousness you would have to tell every cell what to do, and that wouldn't work of course, which is why it was created. The body consciousness and the intellect/ego are offshoots of the inner self that allows us to exist within the physical system.

The intellect is incredibly powerful and intelligent, and its beliefs, thoughts and emotions determine what the inner self creates in the physical world on inner levels of consciousness. The inner self creates the intellect out of its own energy, and so it creates a creator in this system of reality. You are an extension of your inner self, but there really are no boundaries within the self and so you are the whole self also. Divisions are illusions that create a sense of separation from the rest of reality.

—from "The Solution..." A Dynamic book by William Eastwood for Earth Network.

 

Events are thoughts and emotions projected out from you into what appears to be a physical environment detached from you. Scientists know that the senses perceive reality. What most scientists have not yet figured out is that before your senses perceive your reality, they create it in the same basic way a virtual reality headset creates a virtual reality.

Your physical environment is actually an extension of the self, like a finger or arm is. You create it, although the work done to create events happens below the subconscious and so you are not consciously aware of how this work is performed. Your own environment is you; your collective reality is a joint creation (what is on the news is a collective creation).

—from "The Solution..." A Dynamic book by William Eastwood for Earth Network.

Are you using your greatest resource to create your wish?

"Most of us think that we achieve our goals through our actions in physical reality. As a result, we struggle with limited means at our disposal to create what we want. We may make phone calls, build physical structures or do what we think we need to do to create our objective. Everything we do on the physical level of reality, however, is far inferior to what we can achieve when we are aware of the communication system and creative power of the inner system of reality through which we create this physical reality from within.

—from the "Manifesting Power Book..." A Dynamic book by William Eastwood for Earth Network. A 2025 edition.

"Your consciousness is imbued with the ability to create anything. What is not well understood in our times is that we literally create everything we experience. We are hypnotized by the illusion we see even while physicists tell us that nothing is solid. We just can’t seem to accept the facts because of generations of programming. The reality in which we exist, however, attests to the incredible magic ability of consciousness—our own consciousness.

"Your inner self can be thought of as being your future, fully developed self and it is devoted to you. It is the God of you.

—from the "Manifesting Power Book..." A Dynamic book by William Eastwood for Earth Network. A 2025 edition.

"Thoughts create inner nonphysical events. When conditions are right and if beliefs permit, they manifest when the conscious mind makes a specific decision that activates a new line of probability. Intuitively you know what you are doing. You know far more than you think you do about what you are likely to experience in the future."

Authoritarianism: What is an Authoritarian? Bully Psychology & Degrading Human Nature

• What is an authoritarian and authoritarianism?
• What is authoritarian and bully psychology?
• Does an authoritarian and a bully degrade human nature?

An authoritarian believes that those who are consider bad people must be controlled by the good or superior people.

Whether secular or religious, a philosophy that suggests human nature is unworthy or untrustworthy requires or looks to authoritarian rulers to be told what to do. Like a child’s parent dictating the child’s behavior, a strict authoritarian will attempt to dictate his constituent’s behavior, beliefs and liberties.

Patriarchal means “rule of the father.” Those who see males as natural rulers create gods that reflect their values. They belong to religions that demand obedience to a male god and a male ruler.

In the Middle Ages, strict patriarchal values kept humanity in bonds to an authoritarian church that dictated thinking, behavior and actions. Martin Luther broke the hold the authoritarian church had on the Western world. Martin Luther brought about the enlightenment movement which led to the creation of the United States of America, our democratic system, and constitution. The Enlightenment also brought about the industrial revolution. You can thank Martin Luther for your smart phone and liberties. To learn more, click below.

The values introduced in the American experiment with democracy see all people as being equal and therefore worthy of autonomy and self-governance. However, it is the people within the United States of America that choose their leaders, and if the people distrust their fellow humans, they may be inclined to elect authoritarian leaders. Democracy in the U.S. is in decline because of distrust of human nature built into the underlying philosophies of the people.

Those who elected former U.S. President Donald Trump tend to be in this category. They distrust people and are angry.

Be the person you want to be

Reality is psychological. Einstein’s friend and colleague, David Bohm calls all of reality one unbroken energy movement. He calls the inner reality of energy that forms the multiverse the “Implicate Order.” The Implicated Order manifests as the “Explicate Order.”

In other words, your life and environment are a hologram of psychological energy, and the energy is a projection of whatever is going on in your mind. The composite of your beliefs, thoughts, feelings, expectations, level of confidence, what you visualize, moods and assumptions determine what is projected. You must take control of your inner subjective world and direct it into the events you want to experience with confidence. You must also act on the intuitive directives that come about in response to applying this principle correctly.

You must acquire your goals in the same way an archer acquires the bullseye, with the proper footing or whatever you require to achieve the goal, and then fire the arrow when confidence is high. You must acquire the goal internally, and when confidence is high, act.

It’s all about emotions

Because I know that my emotions generate my windfall, I pay close attention to them at all times. Besides, what I want most is to feel great, that’s why I want money in the first place. It’s the emotions that you put out that determine what you manifest. This is because physical reality itself is an emotional manifestation of energy. Internal Science says so.

Without maintaining the right feelings, wealth will not happen and if you do acquire a windful it will be unsupportable, and you will lose it. If you are paranoid, moody, often complain or fail to feel the kind of emotions that allow you to manifest money and keep it, you will lose the money you are after even if you are able to materialize it.

Why has the world been thrown into chaos?

As we live our lives things often just get worse despite all our best efforts! Why is this? It is because the basic way most of us were taught to use our minds is incorrect! We learned wrong-thinking because old science and psychology are all wrong!

Events are guided by information coming from within. Our brain and five senses project our reality. This is Internal Science. Yet when we try to solve our problems and achieve our goals, the vast majority of people in the world today do not take this basic fact into account! Then they wonder why they are getting nowhere and why there is so much chaos in the world!

The world is only a shadow cast by your thoughts. There is no power outside of yourself greater than your own thoughts. Change your convictions and the universe has no choice but to rearrange the world to deliver your dreams. You must be in a place of certainty that your desires are already fulfilled. Affirm it is so, live in the certainty that it Is and the feeling of the wish fulfilled, and watch in amazement as reality delivers your dream on a silver platter.

What is authoritarian and bully psychology?

Authoritarian and bully psychology arise from having been mistreated, and the shame and guilt that is internalized as a result. If, for example, someone is arrested for something and is put into prison, that person may feel  misunderstood. Instead of accepting the degradation from police or inmates, he or she may complain that other inmate’s crimes are far worse. Eventually a pattern of thinking develops in which the other person is always seen as being the bad guy. Authoritarianism spreads from person to person in this way.

Authoritarianism tends to arise out of distrust of human nature or similar negative beliefs about people. If you are loved and have positive views of all people it is much more difficult to become authoritarian, but it is still possible.

Authoritarianism cane arise from the idea that “might is right,” or “survival of the fittest,” but it can also be generated from religions that hold any aspect of the human experience in low regard. A bigot or prejudiced person may like some types of people but not others. Authoritarianism takes the idea that some people are evil or flawed to heart. They feel that these people must be forcibly controlled.

Humans who are seen as being of bad intent need to be treated more harshly. The bully and authoritarian tend to falsely justify harmful words, degrading and treatment of those they see as inferior for whatever reason. However, very few people are evil for the sake of being evil. We have made a great mistake as a civilization. We have learned to read human nature incorrectly. Our nature is actually good.  It is beliefs that generate poor behavior, but not the innermost soul.

Why people see what they want to see, and create negative experiences

“Each person reads and experiences reality according to what they believe exists. If they hold a view of reality within themselves that is inherently limiting and/or negative, then this inner subjective reality and nothing else is projected outward into events and experiences so that everything conforms with their beliefs. They then cannot see anything outside of their own worldview. In effect, they become blind to any information that would free them from their inner and outer restricted reality.

“The negative focus on perceived enemies or opposition combined with the overlooked and unchecked power of consciousness and focus has been causing the world severe problems for a very long time only because we do not see the obvious.

“The solution is to understand that consciousness is altruistic.

“The people that seem evil don’t believe that the human spirit is basically good, and that’s the problem.

“My work is to explain that this is a scientifically validated fact in order to bring an end to global conflict and assist humanity in advancing into a new stage of incredible fulfillment, both private and public. That work begins with you.

“You can become a good or bad person in this life of yours — it is your choice.

“Yet, regardless of what you make of yourself in this life, your innermost soul is good. What you are at the deepest level IS good.”

— William Eastwood

Anyone can be an authoritarian. such as a police officer, prosecutor or lawbreaker.

Does an authoritarian and a bully degrade human nature? 

Yes, an authoritarian degrades human nature. An authoritarian tends to see all people as flawed or sinful. This is how they falsely justify cruelty, violence and things like punishing people. An authoritarian or bully will not usually believe themselves to be bad and so they will project their innermost belief that human nature is evil on other people.

Authoritarians need a victim, a twisted person or an enemy to put themselves above. They will often create such an enemy by how they interpret people’s nature or behavior. They are almost always wrong about people. People are good inside, but many, many people feel otherwise.

It is people’s beliefs and behavior that can be bad, not the inner person, and this is what authoritarians and bullies do not understand.

Authoritarianism is an internal personal condition responsible for bipolar and other disorders

As we come to believe human nature is unworthy and accept some degree of authoritarianism, we split ourselves in two. The part of us that complies with the official beliefs (values and rules of society and hence authority) is considered good, and the spontaneous and nonconforming aspect of self is rejected.

The conflict between the authentic self and the forced self, as defined by psychology as being normal, underlies most of the social and personal problems and undesirable conditions in the world today.

The belief that humans are basically bad generates authoritarianism, the belief that authority is necessary in order to control and punish those who are out of line. In this view authority is good and many or all people are bad and therefore must submit to authority, even if that means accepting oppression.

According to authoritarianism, the path to becoming a good person involves domestication and taming, even having one’s spirit broken.

“Our belief systems are so toxic that some children decide it is too dangerous to communicate with the world and so they are born with what we call “autism.”

“It would be one thing if the world was intrinsically as we believe it is, but it is not. The negativity and chaos we experience is a projection of a failed negative belief system. Children that are born with autism are reacting to their parent’s and society’s core beliefs.

“Everything from bullying to excessive demands on individuals—the source of all our problems—is born of distrust of human nature around which our civilization is built.

“Einstein’s friend, David Bohm, gives us a scientific paradigm that explains how this is possible. Our reality is a holographic projection of our beliefs, thoughts and emotions.

“To create a new and successful civilization we must discard the highly negative myths that caused current failure and in their place project beliefs that will produce success.

“The global altruistic, autonomous movement is a rapidly expanding circle of people who are recognizing the non-competitive, cooperative and non-selfish workings of the universe. These beliefs will generate different behaviors, institutions that are more friendly and an overall transformed reality.

When all hope seems lost, when everything seems to go wrong, with democracy itself collapsing, is there anything that can be done?

Authoritarians can be hard on themselves also

We eventually become victims of our own authoritarian rules and self-regulate by punishing ourselves. We maintain our own domestication through harsh words and actions aimed at keeping ourselves in line.

A divided self is no better than schizophrenia however, and such a one usually spirals downward into despair. Attempting to escape the despair, we tend to enter into roles that allow us to bully others or complain about everything that is perceived to be wrong with others.

Bullying is a symptom of the belief that people are bad and authoritarianism as a way of dealing with it. It is an attempt to enforce the hierarchy of authoritarianism, punishing those who we falsely think must be punished, and submitting to authority. Bullies demand obedience. They also must always be right and the inferior victim wrong.

“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”

— Albert Einstein

“If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.”

— Albert Einstein

“Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.”

— Albert Einstein

“The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education. “

— Albert Einstein

“A new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move toward higher levels.”

— Albert Einstein
