The Administration of Nature

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who announced that we are at the “Dawn of the New Age of Enlightenment” is famous for writing about the “Absolute Government of Nature.” To make a long story short, in his writings he basically cites that Transcendental Meditation is the core of everything, that by simply practicing this type of meditation in various Governments or Businesses, they can operate in alignment with the Absolute Government of Nature.

While this is true, it doesn’t change the fact that the currently existing systems themselves are not based on the structure of Nature, which may be why so many are averse to practicing TM. Practicing Transcendental Meditation may help to bring individuals and organizations into alignment with Natural Law, but how much better would it be for an organization to also use the structure of Nature as their structure?

Transcendental Meditation brings one into alignment with Natural Law by focusing ones attention towards the Source within. The MetaMinistration brings UFO’s into alignment with Natural Law by making Source central to every layer.

Processes of the MetaMinistration

Now, let’s talk about how the debating and voting system works in a MetaMinistration.  There are various things that require debating and voting upon.  Each UFO has its own processes and policies that may need to be updated from time and time.

First, we must recognize there are two types of decisions.  Type 1 decisions are those that are like one way doors.  Once you walk through, you can’t go back.  The consequences are permanent.  Type 2 decisions are those that are like two way doors.  If you don’t like the consequences, you can easily reverse the decision.

These types of decisions require different considerations.  While Type 2 decisions should be made by the fewest number of people necessary, involving only those that are directly affected by it, Type 1 decisions should be made very carefully.  Some Type 1 decisions should involve everyone, while others should only involve key players.  Some Type 2 decisions also may require the involvement of everyone, but most will only require a small handful of people.

For example, a Type 2 decision that only impacts people within a single Mastermind or Holosphere in a UFO should be decided by that Holosphere, and no one else.  A Type 2 decision that impacts an entire department of a UFO should be decided by the people within that department, and no one else.  And a Type 2 decision that impacts an entire UFO should be decided by all the people within that UFO.

This helps to keep all the decision-making processes simpler and shorter, so that decisions can be made and implemented in a timely manner.  Type 2 decisions should be made faster because if they fail, they are easily reversible.  In todays rapidly evolving world, any business not practicing innovative experimentation regularly is doomed to be forgotten. 

In his book, “The Diary of a CEO” where Steve Bartlett details the 33 Laws of Business and Life, he says, “Business that experiment faster, fail faster, and then continue to experiment, nearly always outpace the competition.”

Because Type 1 decisions have permanent irreversible consequences, they need to be given much more time and consideration, and regardless of who is involved in the process, the final decision needs to rest in the hands of Key Managers.  This is the opposite of Type 2 decisions

With this in mind, let’s take a look at the basic formula for the administrative process in a MetaMinistration:

First, a Proposal is made to make some sort of improvement.  A Proposal can be made by anyone and can be anything from updating a process, or a policy or even reorganizing materials for better efficiency.  The process for submitting a Proposal is the same for everyone and follows the process of Kaizen first implemented by the Toyota company.

First, the Proposal must be submitted to your Advisor Holon, who will then help you refine that Proposal into something that may actually pass the debate and voting process successfully.  Once you both agree that the Proposal has been refined sufficiently, the Proposal will be submitted to the Operator Holon at the outermost layer in which it directly impacts.

If the Proposal only effects your Holosphere, then you submit it to your Operator Holon.  If it impacts a whole UFO, then you submit it to the Operator Holon in the Central Holosphere of the UFO.  Once the Proposal has been submitted, the Operator Holon then passes that Proposal to everyone in all the affected Holosphere’s. Thus begins the debate process.

To keep the debate process simple and effective, rather than it being a free for all debate between everyone, the debate only happens within each individual Holosphere, or Mastermind.  Each Mastermind holds meetings, whether in person or online, to discuss and debate the Proposal.  The debate phase will be given a particular time limit.  The more people it directly affects, the more time should be given to this phase, and Type 1 decisions should be given even more time.  Once the time limit has been reached, then comes the voting process.

The voting process will also be unique.  Ideally, each individual Mastermind should reach a unanimous consensus.  Some very large Masterminds may not be able to, however.  So, it will be up to each Mastermind to decide whether they will go for a unanimous decision or a majority decision.

Either way, once a Mastermind reaches a decision on which way to vote on the proposal, the Representative Holons then carry that decision outward until it reaches the layer upon which the decision can be made. A Representative Holon is the Holon in a Mastermind who also exists in their Outer Holosphere and represents them in that Holosphere.

In other words, the Moons are the only ones participating in the decision-making process.  Everyone else is simply fulfilling their responsibility of carrying that vote outwards through representation.

So, for example, let’s look at a proposal to change a policy that affects an entire UFO.  The Moons in every innermost Mastermind (the Planetary Holosphere’s) come to their consensus of either ‘yay’ or ‘nay.’  Their Representative Holon then carries their decision outward to their Solar System Holosphere. The votes here are already cast.  There is no more debating.  The votes of all the Planets within the Solar System Holospheres are tallied up and once again determined by a majority vote.  This process then continues all the way through all the layers of the UFO.

However, for Type 1 decisions, the debating process involves management, as well.  They must have the opportunity to be the first to evaluate a Proposal and decide whether it needs further refinement or whether it should even be considered.  Once management decides to allow a Type 1 Proposal to go through, they must accept the decision that is made by their employees.  So, the highest regard must be given to the refinement process of a Type 1 Proposal, which may even take longer than the actual debate and voting process.

This process remains the same for all Proposals, whether it be something as simple as reorganizing tools in a Mastermind (Type 2), something as important as electing a new Representative Holon for an entire department (Type 2), or something as dramatic as taking the company in an entirely new direction (Type 1).

In all cases where unanimous decisions are not possible, it is highly suggested that we do not use a simple majority, but rather what I call an “Overwhelming Majority.”  A simple majority means anything over 50%.  But that is not enough of a majority to determine coherence and stability of the decision.  If only 51% of the majority agree today, new information presented may turn the tide tomorrow.

Rather, an Overwhelming Majority is set to be the proportion PHI, or 61.8% at a minimum.  This can be simplified to a 2/3 majority.  At a 2/3 majority, enough of the population is in agreement with a decision that we can safely say the decision has reached collective coherence and stability.  The opinion will not be so easily swayed by new information.

As such, all decisions will thus need a 2/3 majority decision in order to be implemented.  Likewise, therefore, if it seems a decision that previously reached a 2/3 majority decision was a mistake, a Proposal to reverse it or update it must also reach a 2/3 majority decision.

Finally, then, if a Proposal does not reach a 2/3 majority approval the first time, before it can be submitted again, it must be refined based on the feedback from the debating process.  This is one important reason that meeting minutes of the debating process should be well kept.  This allows a Proposer to review these meeting minutes to further refine their Proposal in ways and means that may garner more approval.

However, if a Proposal has been submitted and rejected 3 times, it must be considered that the Proposal is not feasible and must therefore not be allowed to be submitted again in order to make room for all the other Proposals that require time to debate and vote upon.
