Last week we looked at the numerology of the Moses model of leadership. This week we look at why it works, especially in contrast to the way the world of human resources has operated for the last century or so.

This is especially important today, like in the today literal sense, because of the protests that are happening in Egypt and the Islamic world generally, as well as the social democracies of Europe, and even the Tea Party Movement in the United States.

What we are seeing worldwide is human individual disgust with the way things are currently operating. For the most part, these have been quite docile in the United States and more violent in more repressive regimes, but the general theme in all of them can be summarized within the paradigm of “we are sick and tired of being sick and tired.”

Furthermore there is an expressed fear in the media that what was somewhat tepid human individual repression, will lead to even more repressive fascist and communist governments. To put this in context, we must look at the big picture of the twentieth century, which is basically material consumption based upon cheap energy (oil).

The United States has been the world’s shining example of this “success,” basing a full seventy percent of its GDP on this past century model. Because the Americans have been so successful with the passivity bought within the stuff model, it logically follows that we have a much larger stuff cushion than the rest of the world; hence thus far American protests have been mostly words, even in the context of the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

When we look behind the screen of the wizards in control of all countries, we see a widening gap between those who have access to wealth and those who do not. This disparity has been heightened by the reality that a world based upon the financing of economic bubbles has essentially burst completely. Even though the so-called leadership of the world has continued to express the hope that they know what they are doing, we the people no longer think they are the wizards they claim to be.

To break it down into the essential argument: it is one thing to claim to be a wizard, it is quite another to claim to be a god. That godlike leadership model was what led to the downfall of Egypt in the Moses era, and while the scale is much more global today, that faulty human god complex is what is behind everything that is happening in the economic world. Just like in ancient Egypt, human godlessness cannot see the hand of God behind it all. This will eventually lead to godlessness destruction.

Moses was a lawgiver. It is the rule of law that will eventually bring peace. Moses based the law he proclaimed on human natural law, not the law of Pharaoh. If we end there, we miss reality that the Mosaic Law was a human subset of the totality of God’s natural law. This is the true genius of the founding of the United States. The founders understood that reality, by the grace of God, and hence came up with a system by which humans could govern themselves and not rely on elite rulership to govern the ways of man. “We the people,” finds it direct link in “what Moses did.”

The difference in the effectiveness of the Moses model we discussed last week is that the community numerology he implemented allowed for individual expression while at the same time allowing for governance of millions. In language that we do not like to understand today, Moses’ model worked by design, it did not evolve out of nothing, or the works of wishful thinking elitists and intellectuals.

Glenn Beck was the source of the teachings of Cloward and Piven into contemporary modern thought. When we were all fat, rich and drugged on prosperity, most of us didn’t care. However in the aftermath of the Giffords shooting in Arizona, the remarks of Francis Fox Piven, finally became mainstream into what we could consider objective journalism.

Her remarks carried to the world, basically stated that she didn’t understand why all the oppressed masses in the United States didn’t riot, like they did in Greece, to bring about the fall the repressive government of this country.

There really are three alternatives here, to point out the fallacy of her thinking. First of all, the building blocks of elitist utopias, no longer have the ability to act as real people. Second that the building blocks still understand that the hardship that Ms. Piven sees; is really not deprivation, but rather and inconvenience. Third and most important, the intellectual snobbery of the whole activist progressive movement, is just incapable of seeing the reality, as progressively bad (like in not good) the American republican system of governance has become, the rule of law still prevails in the land.

How shocking it must have been to that worldview that someone in the judicial branch of the government would strike down the entirety of ObamaCare and base his rulings on “activist” provisions of the United States Constitution, not the activist desire to make the Constitution irrelevant in terms of evolving progressive society?

Personally I am getting tired of Mr. Beck’s continuing angst about collapsing the system into chaos. Order into chaos is a natural law of thermodynamics. It is called entropy. All we can do as human beings is hurry that reality along, but we cannot make chaos go away. We may attempt to change the world, through such things as global warming legislation. We may create and enforce totalitarian regimes. We may create enlightened forms of despotism, based in monarchies, formal religion and manifest destiny, economics, or even global material elitism, but they are really just literal kingdoms of this world.

Only God can create true order out of true chaos. This is especially true in a world in which prime reality is based upon sin and death. The two true causes behind entropy are sin and death. Only true natural law energetics, based upon those laws that the Mosaic law is but a small part, can reorder even this fallen world, into a true “new world order.”

We have stated many times, that Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall and broke, because both Humpty Dumpty and the wall were based upon human godless enlightenment. It logically follows that all the kings horses and all the kings men, working within the limitations of human godless enlightenment, can’t and won’t put Humpty Dumpty together again.

What we need to begin to see, that it is God that has allowed this chaos to occur for such a time as this. There is a true reality in the world that we are running out of stuff to make our stuff. There are those who tell you that that is not so, for the time being they make a good to a wealthy living promoting those worldviews.

There is also an element of truth in what they are saying, in the literal sense we will never run out of stuff to make more stuff. The reality is however, that the cost of the baseline stuff is rapidly becoming much more expensive, especially in twentieth century terms. Currently in the United States, we are doing that by just creating dollars ex nihilo. I just read yesterday, that China is no longer the largest holder of United States debt securities; the Federal Reserve has just gained that distinction.

The term Ponzi scheme comes to mind, but the reality and the complexity of this monetary game are beyond the scope of the best and the worst plans of human elitist schemes. The hastening of entropy is what is happening. Around the world stage everyone is playing their parts to perfection.

This brings us to Moses in the wilderness. We have defined wilderness, as a place where man visits but never stays. Wilderness in our common term has always referred to the natural world. But in the famous legacy of President Bill Clinton, it all depends upon what your wilderness definition is- -is; or something like that.

However if we use the Mosaic Law model as part of natural law, it truly is not that much of a stretch to conceptualize that the wilderness may quickly become New York City, Cairo, Madrid, Dublin, Athens, or any other city where mankind no longer wants to live, because the wilderness hardships are just too complicated.

So where are you going to run and hide?

The answer is the same in the Nowhere wilderness and the Urban Urbane wilderness. That answer is human communities based upon tens, fifties, hundreds, and thousands, that function from the bottom up and from the top down.

We will never willingly adopt these principles until we become desperate, because they do not fit our definitions of continually evolving human societies and cultures. What we thought would never happen is now happening around the world and it is coming at us from all sides, ranging from the political, to the weather, to our economics.

All the Humpty Dumpties are falling all over the world and all the kings’ horses — you get the picture.

Moses, a type of geopolitical leader, led the children of Israel out of literal Egypt into the desert wilderness east of the Red Sea. There they wandered for forty years while, those who had no faith but what they had learned in Egypt died. A gruesome reality of just how deadly the Biblical Egyptian typology really is.

That literal grand Egypt was destroyed; yet to be rebuilt by God. Could the turmoil of what is happening in that country today be the beginning of that restoration?

For those of us in the mystical Egypt, could that ancient wilderness destiny become ours?

As long as we look to ourselves to save us in a totally geopolitical universe, the writing has been on the wall of another ancient (Babylonian) capital also. But Moses standing, for we the people, is the true beginning of understanding of a way though and eventually out of the wilderness of this time in history.
