Toward A New Civilizational Paradigm

Creating a freedom-building movement through restoring the social fabric of a just and prosperous society is necessary and quite possible outside the corpostate system of institutional top-down down control of culture. It is also possible and morally essential to do this unilaterally, within our lives, relationships, and associations, without trying to change or control anyone who doesn’t actively and willingly want the kind of life we do.

In short, we propose that we must have our own independent and self-sufficient economic, financial, health care, education, food, energy, entertainment, news organizations, and other entities. These will be created within the framework of our overall freedom structures which we create in our hearts, in the way we treat and interact with others and in how we organize ourselves to creagea strong sense of community from the personal and local levels to a global scale.

To accomplish this, we propose a way to pursue liberation and independency, bounded by civic and moral virtues rooted in Christ but inclusive of all, which both works for the individual and scales to organized distributed communities and entire mass movements.

What we want to make clear is that personal empowerment requires some form of shared responsibility for our vision of a free and prosperous society and, more directly, each other’s safety, wellness, success, and happiness without becoming collectivist, cultish, or in any way authoritarian or xenophobic.

This further requires becoming intimately familiar with a civilizational paradigm that is not a product of the corpostate system, that totally exists outside of it, and the internalizing these ideals, principles, and practices to such an extent we live them ourselves and together with whoever wants to do the same. Hence, the subject of this article.

While we propose and think that the new civilizational paradigm will be a broader Freedomism based on the UPDR Ideals, and therefore will be called The Upadarian Civilization, the important thing here is the ideas and their attendant blueprints and frameworks for living together, not necessarily the name. We will, however, assume that these names suffice and will use them.

We begin basically with the proposition that knowing and internalizing a new civilizational paradigm in our own hearts and brains, body and soul, led by our spirit man, is in and of itself transfigurative. This means that if you become intimately familiar with this new civilization paradigm and embrace it warmly in your heart, it will change your actions, habits, relationships, and the very way you build community with others almost automatically.

We want to distinguish between the Upadarian civilizational paradigm, which is the root of Freedomism, along with the Actiun Baza (base of action) philosophy for a true reading of the reality of power, on one hand, and the historic Christian faith from whence it is derived, on the other hand.

The Christian faith addresses our eternal souls and inner peace and happiness, and we think it is essential as a foundation. Our civilizational paradigm addresses more practical needs and is not itself something all Christians must embrace. It is also not limited to only Christians: anyone can use and apply it and thereby become sort of sociocultural “citizens” of our unofficial international Commonwealth.

(A BRIEF ASIDE: Though we are searching for a better word, for now we refer to people as “citizens” of our Commonwealth not in a legal, official sense, but more by common affection for an identification with the ideals and principles which our unofficial Commonwealth, as a distributed global community, is based upon.

Hence, all who embrace these ideals are “citizens of the Upadarian Commonwealth” without needing to join anything or make it official. We distinguish between The Upadarian Commonwealth as the unofficial global community of all who embrace the new paradigm, the Virtual Commonwealth of Upadaria as the name for our platform, and The Crown Commonwealth of Upadaria as the planned international non-territorial Commonwealth that will interface with governments and other entities.

People will become citizens with a small c of the Upadarian Commonwealth, though a better name is sought, eCitizens of the platform as paid subscribers who back our efforts, and, eventually, as God prospers us, actual dual Citizens with our non-territorial Commonwealth and their own countries.)

When you envision civilization itself from this new, albeit ancient and sacred, paradigm’s perspective, you begin to see changes in your life and relationships and you WILL over time see a real increase in your total level of freedom and abundance.

Our paradigm is delivered in a unique way, through fictional stories and a “future history” that entertains as it informs, educates, and empowers. All of this came to me initially through a series of what I believe are supernatural encounters in which I was entrusted with these stories almost as if I had lived in the days when this new civilization was established, namely the year 2147, and came back to this time.

I “remembered” this life in the new civilization and impart its “history” to both warn people of the dangers that will come and to offer hope for how to either prevent the bad things or at least keep you and your own circle of trust and care safe and prosperous regardless of what is happening around you.

On the night of February 6, 1982, into the morning of the 7th, the 6th also being the day I was re-baptized at age 13, I was awoken to voices from hell, if seemed to me, calling my name and threatening me. My twin brother actually saw and heard parts of this, independently of me. I was immersed into a new REALITY of war, fighting human forces, which I could see were demonically controlled, who wanted to seize me and end our existence outside of their control.

While these demonic voices were haunting and scary, my instinct was to go and confront them and defeat them. As I did so, the physical space around me was altered, and troops defending and led by myself were fighting bad guys in a pitched battle right on my grandmother’s property where I lived with my father.

This experience opened the door, as suddenly I had the gift of discernment and when I shared Christ with others, speaking into their lives about things only known to God, they were quite interested in what I had to say. I was fully operating in the gifts of discernment, prophecy, word of wisdom, and other gifts. This set a pattern of confirmation for me whereby every time I was given something of significance to this vision I would experience some form of personal breakthrough and have favor to preach to others. Very often, a critical need was met for me or a family member, and someone would become converted to Jesus Christ.

Ultimately, not to labor the reader with details yet, I “saw”, or “remembered” an entire history of how this new civilization emerged here and there around the world and how a new Commonwealth was created as the guardian of the new civilization. This BEGAN, however, with the new dawn of a Christian national people, the Upadarians, who became the vanguard of that new civilization as well the architects of what would become its genesis structures.

I want to make this clear: for me, there was a sense of remembering the lifeways and sense of community within this new civilization and feeling homesick for it. This came with a desire to somehow FIND or get back to that by urging others to embrace this way of life and create a sense of community among themselves.

In 1987, I believe the Lord bade me through godly counsel to lay this down, with an understanding that only if God directed me to pick it back up should I consider doing so. During this season, which I did not know would end, I barely if at all spoke about Upadaria as a national people group or as the name of a new Christian civilization. In 1994, I had an encounter that showed me I needed to pick this back up, but to explore it and solidify it within me, and not to share it yet.

In 1997 I had an encounter at a Christian men’s meeting wherein it was both supernaturally confirmed to me that I must use the names and terms God gave me and that I no longer needed to hide this vision from anyone else.

In 2004, thanks to advice from my twin brother, I began to research the names God gave me only to discover they come from many languages, some ancient. I also learned that the names had meanings which could impart wisdom and tactics for launching the nation first and building a whole new international non-territorial Commonwealth around it. The work of sorting and defining these things in digestible parts is ongoing

While it is true my encounters and experiences became and will remain essential to the overall vision, others are beginning to find the veracity of this vision and their God-given role within it in their own ways. Thus, my experiences are part of this history. They are not the sole experiences that will, in time, also be essential to it.

One thing that was impressed upon me was to keep the names , the initial blueprints and frameworks, and to impart this vision as I received it. I later confirmed this was through some sort of immersive experience based on the fictional stories, and which later I could see was possible through the web in ways I couldn’t have foreseen back then.

Our planned digital homeland is based on users experiencing life in the Crown Commonwealth of Upadaria in the future, though the name of the platform is “The Virtual Commonwealth of Upadaria”. It is being designed not merely to impart this vision but to help facilitate face-to-face local gatherings and community groups based on Upadaria. As they create local Round Table Groups, participants will even use their “Upo Identity” from the platform for real-world activities and collaboration toward actualizing the ideals, principles, practices, and goals imparted through the fictional future history.

Participants will create a Upo Identity (though this isn’t mandatory) within the platform that they use in any gatherings or activities with fellow Peers of our spiritual nation, citizens of our unofficial Commonwealth, or eCitizens of the virtual Commonwealth, keeping their outer identities in strict confidence. The idea of this Upo Identity is to discover, verbalize, and activate your true inner self, using that as the basis of your new identity, which works from within your outer identity and shows itself effortlessly, organically, and naturally ever more outwardly.

Some will still just prefer to learn by rote, and to retain their outer identity as their Upo Identity, but we suspect they will get more from this experience by letting their imagination and creativity flow. As you both learn the history and and the underlying concepts of this new civilization, and as you explore and create your Upo Identity to reflect who you see yourself as in God’s eyes, free from all limits, the changes occur without conscious effort.

A new civilizational paradigm is needed because the current one has become dead, uncreative, corrupt, and depraved and if you remain dependent upon systems based on this pradigm you will suffer loss and lack and make yourself easy prey to freedom takers and antichristian zealots, who will persecute you.

Consider how Hollywood’s “remakes” of classical and beloved stories or their treatment of beloved franchises has destroyed the original vision behind these things and replaced it with something that doesn’t even come close to the original and you will see how civilization itself is being re-made into something that is utterly useless and foul.

Just as Hollywood remade classics into pure garbage, the ruling class has remade society into pure garbage. They are feeding you poison that is killing your happiness and stealing your prosperity. Even if you are a Christian, if you unconsciously or consciously follow or are connected to the systems these people have designed, based on their warped altreality, you will short-circuit your own calling.

A new civilizational paradigm is needed. Though we provide our own ideas and vision, you can take whatever path you like, you can consciously choose your own way, so long as that way is founded upon the eternal and sacred precepts of the Kingdom of God.
