The Age of Aquarius 2.


What improvements could come with the Age of Aquarius?

(a) 1. Liberty:   an end to dictatorships and control machinery (fear and guilt).
                          reduction of fear (of socialism, immigrants, homosexuals etc.).
                          less authoritarianism (more circular power structures).

    2. Equality:  an evening out of the class system (more middle class).
                          equal opportunity (women, gays, aboriginals).
                          an evening out of world wealth (China, India, Africa).

    3. Fraternity: if God is our Father then all men and women are our family.
                          altruism.
                          philanthropy.
                          humanitarianism.

(b)  People in the west may lose some of their privileges as the world becomes fairer, more even.

The aim, however, is to bring the second and third worlds up to first world standard, not the lowest common denominator.

Fear of socialism is the main obstacle:
     - counter revolutionary movement is counter productive.
     - conservatives and plutocrats must lose their fear of equality and justice.      Otherwise the world will remain ruled by money and profit.
     - the purpose of business must change from profit to providing (employment, livelihood, food).
