The Three Pillars of Society
“The School of the Cosmos”
Introduction
Inspired by Marx’s Base & Superstructure Visualization, there was something missing, the Individual, the measure of Well Being. The individual is a vital facet of the society. It is the individual that enacts great change to culture and economics as well as enact it. Now, this doesn’t mean that we hold the individual higher because this breeds egotism and hubris. We must view each uniquely and their relationship with each other. They all affect each other.
We must look at society through a trinary lens rather than a binary lens. There is something more than Karl Marx observed. There is more to the Base that Production. There is more to the Superstructure that just Ideologies. There is also a missing segment, Well Being. It also must be clarified and dig deep into each segment.
Well-Being
Symbolized as the Pentagram, it represents the Individual. It is imperative to understand that each segment has its dangers that must be acknowledged. The individual controls the course of the culture. It can abide by it or change it. Individuals also have the power to create a culture. Culture is founded by individuals. So, we must dig into what does the individual need? This is where Humanism and the Cycle of Compassion come in handy. It must also be a imperative to care for the individual because it is the individual that becomes the Tyrant or the Christ.
Individuals need Freedom to be and follow their Love and Passion. Should culture indoctrinate and enslave the individual? Should culture have to demand the sacrifice of the individual’s life to live for the culture? What is the nature of responsibility? Responsibility always begins with the individual. Responsibility is within our nature to be of service. Individuals make up and give power to the Culture. If individuals are responsible, the culture will be responsible. Responsibility is not black and white. Responsibility rests on context. The individual is the microcosm of Culture and the Cosmos (Life).
Culture
Symbolized as the Hexagram, it represents the Collective. It is the intersection of the one and the many. It is the essence of sharing and the tribe. If every individual is of the highest well-being, the collective will be of high well-being. If the collective caters to the well-being of the individual, the individual will in turn cater to the collective. The Hexagram is the unity of two triangle, a reciprocation. From Politics to Education to Philosophy, Culture are shared values. Religion is a philosophical culture of spirituality. Spirituality is an individual facet. No one can give you enlightenment. No one can give you the keys to Heaven. We already have the key. We already possess the Way. The Truth is already within us. We just have to remember what to do with the key and use our lives to align with the Way. We have to surrender to the Truth. What we seek, seeks us. Listen and expand our consciousness within and outside ourselves.
So what can culture do? Pass on wisdom & knowledge to help you on your journey. Should culture force individual to practice and follow it’s customs & rules? Culture should reason and teach individual, but the individual should also reason and teach the culture of short-comings and opportunities of growth. Culture must listen and consider the individual if Culture wants individuals to listen and consider it. The culture must be protopic; it continually evolves & develops to be better. Change is hard but without change there is self-destruction, Death.
Economics
Symbolized as the Spiral, it represents Nature & Life. It may be news but there is pattern to nature and the cosmos. This pattern is known as the Fibonacci Sequence, The Golden Spiral/Ratio. This phenomena is also found in the pentagram. Remember the symbol of the Individual? What if the Fibonacci Sequence is the visual & mathematical code of reality? What if the Fibonacci Sequence has the key to the beginning, the end and divine order of nature? Understanding everything starts at 1 (Big Bang), we can deduce and induce that we are are One. We all come from the same source. Furthermore, there is a balance to abide by. If you do not abide by the balance, aren’t there consequences?
Economics involves math, science & technology as activities to be in sync with Life & Nature. Science may seem like an ideology but science is an inherent practice. We are born curious and studious of Life and Nature. It is why we ask so many “Why?” questions. We are inquisitive yet playful to figure things out since we are young. Science is a natural attitude. It is through science we study ecology and uranology (astronomy). It is science that allows us to build our structures & tools, and even understand physics.
The culture and individual are in the mercy of Life and Nature. We have all witnessed and some have experienced natural catastrophes. The individual and culture exist because of the magic of Life and Nature. Because of this fact, we are indebted to the Nature and Life. This is where our economics becomes our service to Life. In being economical, we must embody the moderate steward and cultivator. If fall into exploitation and gluttony, we will face dire consequence. We reap what we sow. What comes around goes around. Every cause has an effect. It is an economic model that is a hybrid of Communism & Capitalism. It is a hybrid of liberalism & conservatism. We can just call it a protopic compassionate economics.

Conclusion
So, now is your chance to question and head into the rabbit hole. Do not be afraid. The Truth is within you. The Truth will set you free.. you must set yourself free for you are the Truth. Tread carefully, what you think is never the Truth. Truth is revealed not thought. Truth is witnessed not conceived.
Are you allowing Culture to dictate your life? Are you out of sync with Life & Nature? Are you allow your Truth & Love to express itself? Are you getting in your own way? What will chose? Do you seek comfort (illusion) or do seek Truth?
