World Without Empire! Amen, Amen.
The last words in the Christian doxology are "world without end, amen, amen." But to create a world without end, we need to create a world without empire. As a first step in creating world peace, the United States needs to dismantle its empire. It must close down its 800 military bases around the world, bring all the troops back home, and just defend its borders. What is also needed is a new worldview, a spiritual renaissance, or a paradigm shift that transcends scientific, reductionist materialism and lifestyle materialism.
On an international level, a more powerful and more democratic United Nations is needed. Or we could adopt the Earth Constitution, which is an excellent model for a democratic world government. On a national level--in order to maximize democracy--we can promote the equal empowerment of the 7 largest political parties in every nation.
On an individual level--even if world conditions keep getting worse--we can find liberation, enlightenment, and our true purpose through advaita vedanta, yoga philosophy, Christian mysticism, and other expressions of the perennial philosophy. Our highest Self, which is infinite love, is beyond time, space, and causation. It is beyond anything the mind can conceive or the senses perceive. As more individuals attain Self-realization, we will live in a much better world.
