Horizontal Philosophy (HP) - Final Evolution Of Life

Omnipotent Love Flows Horizontally

The power of love!

Update: 1.2 on 2022-05-04

This is a compilation of points as felt in the hearts of people present and past. It is an attempt to understand the world in a simple manner with least number of concepts. We welcome healthy point-wise discussion as it helps our collective understanding. As such this always remains an open ended evolving work in progress.

  1. Core of HP: Omnipotent love flows horizontally.
  2. Based on natural equality of importance of all beings. No hierarchy.
  3. Based on Love and acceptance. No hate and discrimination.
  4. Is like wisdom and light which has beginning but no end.
  5. Runs by the voice and ideas of all people collectively.
  6. Has infinite bandwidth. It concerns everything.
  7. Self driven. No soft coercion and/or brutal subjugation.
  8. Eternal synergy of heart and mind, ensuring bliss for all.
  9. Divine light created by sparks of love in all hearts.
  10. All people are their own masters, no slavery of any kind.
  11. Nothing but true welfare.
  12. Based on contentment, wisdom, healthy inclinations, satisfaction, love, altruism and so on.
  13. Promotes the free flow of information. It is the generalization of computer based Internet to Global Human Network (GHN).
  14. Enlightens the minds with true knowledge. Like scriptures of the world telling people to live in harmony with all living beings not just humans!
  15. Based on sharing principle.
  16. Based on bliss principle.
  17. Based on people living as per the scriptures in deed and spirit!
  18. Based on free volition rather than compulsions.
  19. Sets people in co-operation with each other in small or big explicit or spontaneous cooperation, be it:
    • Bargain-less Public Distribution System replacing the market.
    • Knowledge for wisdom's sake, not only as means to make money!
    • Fighting our own real enemies desire and anger inside our hearts to purify our selves.
  20. Unites any two persons how so ever far they are. Causes faith, fearlessness, joy and constructive competition with one's own self which creates bridges of love between hearts. Even unknown people become friends. Let us be friends!
  21. It is being sensitive, based on tested wisdom, so it saves and preserves life from threatening degradation of biosphere/environment.
  22. Omnipotent love can succeed and dissolve all the weapons, from stone to nuclear bombs and even the more dangerous money!
  23. People blissfully live with love, and die also in greatest bliss with acceptance and gratitude.
  24. Wisdom and environmental flourish go hand in hand.
  25. Complete dissolution of all weapons and the impossibility to make them ever again, ensures real permanent peace.
  26. Scriptures of the world, the repositories of timeless tested wisdom, describe horizontal philosophy in totality with each detail. See for example chapter 18 (shloka 45 to 78) of Bhagavad-Gita. We welcome contributions with references of other scriptures of the world.
  27. Based on complete resonance with wisdom of scriptures of the world.
  28. Based on bliss as the ONLY concern.
  29. Based on needs alone, not based on demand or mindless pursuit of pleasures. Every body has plenty as the Earth has resources to satisfy all needs of all people.
  30. Based on Voluntary Free Services (VFS) which are full of sentiments! Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is one example waiting to be generalized in this direction.
  31. VFS directly by the people for the people.
  32. Rescues humanity from clutches of consumerism.
  33. True civilization can be there when every one is full of bliss.
  34. Necessary, desirable, natural and spontaneous.
  35. Synergy of love and technology for self sufficiency, peace and eternal bliss.
  36. Horizontal is spiritual.
  37. Spiritual is horizontal.
  38. Each being is sacred — meaning that each one has inherent value that cannot be ranked in a hierarchy or compared to the value of another being. (The Fifth Sacred Thing (1994), p. i, -`Starhawk http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Starhawk`_.
  39. We not only accept, rather we welcome inevitable death! So long as we live in natural manner, we are healthy in a complete sense. How you leave is more important than how you live.
  40. We are in love with the universe (an infinite ocean of love) as we play on its surface waves.
  41. The list is endless. Horizontal system will be achieved as ideal system by humans through positive feedback cycle of expansion and union of individual sparks of love!

Horizontal precepts we follow

All interactions with the verticals will be as per clear explicitly mutually agreed upon protocols/understanding, not based on some vague/assumed/incorrect interpretation of horizontal by the verticals.

We follow all laws/rules

  1. We never break any explicitly agreed upon rules/laws, whether horizontal or vertical.
  2. The 40 Year Vision (40yv) follows all vertical/horizontal rules/laws.
  3. Horizontal power comes not from breaking the man made rules/laws, it comes from immortal spirit of love/creativity/life, and spirit is always higher than any man made rules/laws!
  4. By replacing vertical through success in small steps, we can enact mini versions of 40yv as small steps as per our capacities as individuals and small groups. LiGNUx replaces proprietary OS for example. This will also clear/consolidate our understanding of 40yv. What 40yv is on a grand global scale must first be attempted on various small everyday local scales as prototype.

Horizontal rules/laws

  1. This is our heart, all zero budget methodology is horizontal.
  2. All our plans/conduct/actions are as per horizontal rules/laws.
  3. All natural laws are horizontal in the sense that they do not discriminate in any manner. Even verticals are forced to follow horizontal natural laws in that sense! It is not therefore surprising that verticals are always busy in 'conquering' nature as per man made financial/industrial system, whereas horizontals always respect mother nature and adjust according to her as per natural zero budget technologies.
  4. Horizontal system is hidden from verticals because their consciousness has not yet evolved fully.

Horizontal sanctity for survival

  1. Vertical and horizontal systems are mutually exclusive and mutually annihilatory.
  2. We need to operate in 100% pure horizontal domain for our survival and growth, at individual and collective levels.
  3. If we find that it is not possible at this time to live entirely in horizontal domain, then we must diligently work to prepare ourselves and our capacities to achieve this as first goal for self liberation from trappings of vertical.
  4. Few months seemingly saved by undue hurry will waste years of our life! Or few years seemingly saved by undue hurry will waste our entire life!

Deprecated dependence on vertical claimed resources

  1. Till any material resource is explicitly allocated to horizontal domain we must deprecate its use. For example we must not prefer using any body's house as venue for our meetings, we can use public places such as parks instead. Let us understand that people are too much in the grip of vertical mentality and as such unless we work in horizontal domain with surgical precision, we are bound to create/complicate problems instead of solving them.
  2. Actually no resource is vertical, but people think so, and that is the problem. Therefore it is essential for those people to move out of their imaginary narrow vertical islands/jails/comfort-zones.

Horizontal can not support vertical

  1. If we support vertical it will be suicidal!
  2. We need to work as per our definitions, our understanding and our system. If we try to 'help' verticals as per their definitions/understanding/system, we will find that we are getting drained/exploited and working against ourselves.

No support for vertical claimed resources

  1. The very concept of vertical ownership of resource is against the horizontal spirit!
  2. We should be careful that our precious time/energy/effort does not ultimately translate into generating vertical resource for some. If we do so, we will be wasting our efforts and at the same time strengthening their false notion of vertical resources! In the end verticals will think either we are fools or we have some hidden agenda. And they will very conveniently and politely (read cunningly) say thanks and shut their door. This is the sum total of experience in life surrounded by the verticals so far.
