A large number of religious pilgrims entered the town, not knowing that the British military commander had declared martial law. When the pilgrims were within the city walls, British soldiers shot the entire crowd, killing more than 1000.

perfection became reified as free market enterprise, and plentitude as the unlimited accumulation of wealth. A far cry from when Jesus said, “it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Cyberspace is new territory. Computer technology is the predicate. Social media is the new wild west. Those who arrived first made off like bandits: Amazon, Yahoo, Twitter, PayPal, Google, and Facebook. It was like hitting the Comstock Lode and staking a claim. Cyber-territoriality.

resolve in the realm of meaningful value, where truth and untruth engage in a delicate balancing act. Passive resistance is the predicate of ethical territoriality. The Second Transformation of Human Consciousness is contiguous with the predication of ethical territoriality.

It has been fought out in the political arena, and among financial empires. Aggression has not always won over passivity. Humankind would have never emerged from the jungle of necessity where physical might makes right. Aggression and passivity, like all metaphysical absolutes,

The first transformation of human consciousness is contiguous with a condition of contingent relations.
