The Rainbow Tribe jeered and howled. Big words, Bastante, they said, just a bunch of big words.
What on earth do we do? You want us to spend money?
What?
Keep your big words, Bastante, they said. Tell us something useful.
Teach children to garden, he said.
The Rainbow Tribe pushed and pulled, and seethed like the ocean, and kicked like a tied up horse. The Tribe kicked and seethed and fell into line. Silence settled in. They listened. He'd hooked them. He was right.
Teach children to garden, he said, and they cheered their assent.
Teach children to garden, he said, and they roared their approval, and the gods sighed with relief.
It was working.
This is what happened next.
The Rainbow Tribe started a nonprofit.
This nonprofit enlisted members.
Membership involved paying a fee.
Benefits of membership involved receiving a free ounce of silver bullion.
The cost of membership was the spot price of silver, plus shipping, plus a premium.
One percent of the premium went to the nonprofit for operating expenses. The rest was distributed to other nonprofits who were leveraged to do the best work in their relevant field.
They were nonprofit hunting. Hunting for a good nonprofit that would teach children to garden.
It kept working.
Their global multimedia audience was so thoroughly entertained and relieved that they donated to the nonprofit to keep their entertainment coming, and consequently bullion sales skyrocketed, putting enormous upward pressure on manipulated commodities prices. Silver was still selling for a fraction of its value, so the nonprofit's members were exchanging worthless fiat paper for real silver at an incredible exchange rate, contributing to the Federal Reserve's collapse, investing in cost-effective commons enhancement, pulling their resources out of the war machine, and stacking silver all at the same time.
And no laws were being broken. Business boomed. Silver shipped. Children gardened. More and more viewers became members, and invested in sustainable culture.
The Deep State shook its head with a sigh. All the prophecies had been a little off. At the end of the Kali Yuga the maha avatara had been prophecied to return, bringing destruction of the Age with him, and the birth of the Sat Yuga. He'd been expected to be an alien, or a billionaire, or Putin, or the Pope or a terrorist. No one had foreseen that a legal, law-abiding nonprofit could successfully outperform government in the field of public service while financing itself by keeping an audience entertained.
Within the elite Illuminati circles it was understood that the maha avatara would not be a conventional good person/bad person persona but rather a tantrik - he would be fully human, manifesting both the good and evil inherent in our nature, and would overthrow the machine not with direct confrontation but with political intrigue, a good campaign strategy, subtlety and finesse. There would be no collapse. There would only be transition, an acceleration of learning and growth. The mahan tantric had been expected, but no one had foreseen he would start an online business based on peddling fiction...

Commons enhancement
Bastante rallied the Rainbow Tribe. The woods, and the mountains, and the island, and the ocean all contained beings who loved, and these beings rallied around the banner of healing the divide in the world through love.
The divide between yin and yang. Damn it hurt. The great chasm between opposites, the break in reality which separated light from dark and masculine from feminine yawned before the World like Kali with her jagged fuckin mouth open.
According to tantra, boundaries may be healed and it is here, at the boundaries, that the greatest diversity and creativity takes place. This is also a permaculture principle - yes the two are related. The boundary between yin and yang, when nourished, leads to fruitful prosperity and creative abundance.
When neglected, feared, and shunned, this boundary leads to war.
The world needed to honor differences. Patriarchy doesn't allow for differences of opinion, because Authority is absolute. This is the nature of the Absolute - it bodes no sustainable relationship with the relative, for the relative is not sustainable in relationship with the Absolute. The relative is transient, impermanent, and constantly being replaced by itself.
Matriarchy, or the Tao, requires balance between yin and yang, which arises as we learn to honor differences. When diversities of opinion, lifestyle, and ecology are nourished and appreciated without being judged for their absolute value, we learn to appreciate the light and the dark without losing the balance of our mind by clinging to either. This does not mean that we equanimously tolerate both the light and the dark but rather that we equanimously tolerate beings from both the light and the dark, even as we work to spread the Dharma.
Babylon was a dragon. The Illuminati was a bloodline, a blue blood reptilian lineage with mooladhara kundalini shakti, shaktipat through genetic breeding. Babylon was the DNA of survival, woven into the very fabric of every human's reptilian ancestors.
Some of those ancestors were yogis and yoginis, and they cultivated tremendous shakti through great tapas, and awakened their kundalini, and some lived to serve and lived as long as elves, while others served their own desires and became great demons, and the descendants of these demons now owned the world.
And the descendants of those elves were leading the rebellion, and at long last they were starting to win. The elves were defeating the demons not by chasing away the darkness, but by bringing light to the darkness. The darkness wasn't going away at all; the darkness was being healed, and in doing so the darkness was embracing and softening the light.
The elves were winning by circumventing government confrontation entirely, and investing economically in commons enhancement.
Commons enhancement?
By crowdfunding private nonprofit initiatives which outperformed government in the field of cost-effective social services, the Dharma Warriors were not merely investing in Government's open-source, private-sector replacement. They were investing in the ecological rehabilitation of Spaceship Earth.
Because the private market was performance based, it could reliably outperform government in the field of commons enhancement - the one basic social service that all other social services evolve out of.
Commons enhancement - the enhancement of the commons. Healthy air and water, an abundance of healthy food and locally grown building materials, common education on basic living, willing labor pools, vibrant arts and culture, diverse and abundant ecosystems, landscape engineering for maximum rainwater retention and catchment... enhancing the commons is something that needs to be done and Government can't do it because diversity abhors authority and authority abhors diversity. Enhancing the commons requires investing in diversity, be it ecological, psychological, or anything else.
Ecological sustainability requires a successful rebellion against Authority. And yet, any rebellion against Authority will only be successful if it lawfully competes in the free market for attention and investment. In other words, if Authority is failing on its own, a rebellion may succeed.
The Revolution will be market-based. The public will heavily invest in a viable alternative to unsustainable culture.
The Rainbow Warriors gathered to defeat Babylon at her own game. They were going into business, selling a cost-effective commons enhancement strategy that earns a much higher yield than war ever could. They would market the product effectively through multimedia entertainment.
Bastante told the story, and the tribes gathered, and the world moved.
