The Dialectic Tetrad and the "Third Organization of Society"

I have just discovered a fourth phase of the dialectic beyond
synthesis. It seems to me that to fit communitarianism into the big
picture presented by British
Israel and the Pilgrims
Society, there
must be
something which follows it. We have thought of communitarianism as
the synthesis and therefore the final stage. But is it really, or is
it just the last stepping stone to the grand finally?
The book Social
Disorganization (1936) says:
The dialectical process consists of three stages:
(1) the thesis (any phenomenon at any stage of its development);
(2) the antithesis (its logical opposite or pragmatic contradiction);
(3) the synthesis (the new phenomenon which has emerged from the
preceding period of disorganization).
The book explains:
A given society may thus function in apparent calm and
tranquillity for
generations, only to suffer a sudden and apparently inexplicable
collapse. Certain forces were present in the society beneath the
surface which eventually led to its disorganization and the
establishment of a new order. This new order will be drastically
different from the society which it superseded, but it too will be a
transitory phase. Eventually a third organization of society will
appear which may continue for generations. Permanent social stability
will, however, never be reached in the modern world. Social change
never rests. The new synthesis becomes in its turn the basis for
further social change.
My question concerns the actual process as it develops in realtime.
- First there is the "sudden and apparently inexplicable
collapse" duringing a period of conflict, which we can
easily associate with social disorganization. This was clearly stated
as the purpose of the anti-establishment counter-culture which really
had its roots in the "anti-conformist youth" movement defined by Jack
Kerouac in 1948, as the Beat Generation
and popularized by the 1955 movie "Rebels Without A Cause". Rock and
Roll and Elvis Presley served to popularize and legitimize the
rebellious spirit of the Beatnik culture.
- Secondly, we have "the
establishment of a new order", a period of problem resolution.
This is a new social order built upon a new spirituality, a necessary
companion of the secular New World
Order of global government as announced by President George H.W.
Bush On
September 11, 1990 to a joint session of Congress, 11 years before the
attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on
September 11, 2001.
- Thirdly we are yet to realize the "third organization of society"
which "may continue for generations". Or NOT!
The beginning of the New Age can be located in the 1980 publication of
Marilyn Ferguson's book The Aquarian Conspiracy. This book redefined
the counter-culture and portrayed its adherents as the nucleus of the
New Age Movement. The
Third Way, defined
in this book as the consensus method of achieving a "higher truth",
very nearly coincided with Newt Gingrich's introduction of his
"Contract With America", and is consistent with Al Gore's "Reinventing
Government". So we can see that the Third Way consensus is the method
of problem resolution which has been functioning across the
entire social spectrum since the early 1980's in an "establishment
of a new order" which is "drastically
different from the society which it superseded".
Of
those things which are "drastically different" and which established
the "new order", we would have to place
the end of the Cold War and the collapse of Communism at the top of the
list. This was quickly followed by the Earth Summit
at Rio in 1992 and
the unanimous adoption of U.N. Agenda 21 sustainability. In the early
1990's sociologist Amitai Etzioni along with other American social
scientists popularized the term Communitarianism which is hostile to
the philosophies of liberalism and libertarianism, and in fact
formalizes the philosophies of the Third Way as a new system of
Law
which has indeed supplanted constitutional law in every UN member
nation, and by which Agenda 21 rules and regulations are implemented
and enforced locally. This is not the "third
organization of society", but rather the
established "new order", the "drastically
different" and "transitory phase" of the dialectic.
If the "establishment of a new order" were the synthesis as
most of us have previously thought, then what are we going to call the
"third
organization of society"? This has puzzled me for a long time,
but I
may have found a more satisfactory analysis of the dialectic process.
My recent research took me to a web page about "The
Hegelians", which turns out to be a chapter of an online book.
There I found "The Dialectical Spiral", which shows
that
"theses vs. antitheses" are not two distinct stages, but a process of
conflict, followed by a period of conflict resolution, or problem
solving, as the synthesis. It defines transendence as the final
outcome which we can clearly identify with the "third
organization of society":
The dialectic discourse can be visualized as an
ascending spiral, where its first convolution reflects the conflict
(theses vs. antitheses), the second convolution the conflict resolution
(synthesis), and the third convolution its transcendence. This model
assumes that by liberating ourselves from the irrational modes of
thinking and reasoning encapsulated in the paleocortex, we will be able
to learn how to ascend the dialectical staircase and build a better
society with the liberty, justice, and prosperity for all. However,
Hegel's principal contribution to philosophy is his concept of
alienation that was elaborated by Karl Marx.
After dealing with the Theory of Alienation, it presents The Dialectic
Tetrad which a Yahoo search doesn't find anywhere else:
The method of critical reasoning Marx preferred was the
dialectic (from the Greek dialektike techne, the art of discussion).
Dialectics is a philosophic form of debate. As described by Greek
philosophers of antiquity and ubiquitous in writings of secular
philosophers afterwards, the rational discourse aimed at conflict
resolution subsumes theses, antitheses, synthesis, and transcendence.
While most of the writings on the topics of preceding paragraphs is
strong on the theses - antitheses phases of this ongoing controversy,
it lacks on the synthesis and transcendence phases of the dialectic
tetrad. The tertiary and quadrennial phases of this conundrum were
formulated by the philosophers of the French Enlightenment and
incorporated into the Constitution of the United States by our founding
fathers, unequivocally affirming the freedom of expression and
separation of secular and ecclesiastic powers, a sine qua non of
rational discussion and rational conflict resolutions.
Of course, this is dealing with philosophical debate as we see going on
in academia, but Marx made the dialectic relevant to the social agenda
and
academia
appears to control that as well.
The book is Ages
of Enlightenment by David J. Krus, Ph.D. This book deals with
several of our favorite topics from a perspective which I have not seen
otherwise. I think you will find it very interesting and well worth the
time. I'm sure the following item from Wikipedia is from the same David
Krus, but with a different spelling.
The classic theory of conflict resolution rests on the dialectic
tetrad of thesis, antithesis, synthesis and transcendence. Within this
framework, conflicts can be resolved, if the parties involved are using
rational arguments. When one or both parties involved in a dispute do
not use rational arguments, the conflict cannot be resolved by
non-violent means. This was well known to our founding fathers when, to
assure the freedom of expression, also mandated the separation of
secular and ecclesiastic powers. I wrote this article with the intent
to be an experimentum crucis on this point. David Cruise 11:41,

Looks like Wikipedia doesn't like David Cruse!
So how can we understand the dialectical process as we see it
unfolding?
- We must view the thesis-antithesis as a period of
social conflict
associated with the Beat/counter-culture.
- The synthesis as a problem resolution period
associated with the New Age/Communitarian/Third Way consensus.
- And finally the "third organization of society", the transcendence
to where this is really
going, a place lying
beyond the limits of our experience where we have never
gone before, the Brave New World of the New Aquarian Age, the The
Great Transition to Technological Singularity, Humanism, Unitarianism,
and Utopian ascension to godhood. Transcendent: 1
a: exceeding usual limits
b: extending
or lying beyond the limits of ordinary experience.
I have documented the existence of the final transcendence, but lacked
an all encompassing name for it, and was never able to visualize it
within the context of thesis-antithesis-synthesis. I have always
understood the book Social Disorganization as a college text with the
real intent to teach the counter-culture how the dialect could be used
in a practical way to destroy the Establishment along with the social
order it depended on. The book was not concerned with the final
outcome, but presented the false conclusion that it would be the
synthesis. Thus, the "whole
habitable world" (Rev. 12:9) has been and
continues to be deceived to support it.
"But take
heed to
yourselves that your hearts not be loaded down with headaches, and
drinking, and anxieties of life, and that day come suddenly upon you as
a snare, for it will come in on all those sitting on the face
of all the earth. ( Isa. 24:17) Then be watchful at every
time, begging that you be counted worthy
to escape all these things, the things being about to happen, and to
stand before the Son of Man." - Luke 21:34-36,
GLT
As a side note, The Hegelians page makes this statement which is
relevant to our study of British Israel:
"Marx critique of Judaism was
summarized in his Zur Judenfrage, published in 1844 in the Deutsch-Franzosische
Jarbucher. His arguments are based on the thesis that the core of
Judaism is extreme partiality, instrumental in the accumulation of
wealth. Marx observes that in North America, Jews exercise immense
power and the domination of Judaism over the Christian world is fait
accompli."
Thus it appears that Marx perhaps wasn't fully aware of his own
participation in a greater dialectic going on within the British Empire
which involved the Bacon inspired* colonization of North America, and
later British
Israel wherein Communism vs. Christianity was a false debate to achieve
Unitarianism.

informed by his guiding spirits that the kingdom that would produce

be an English speaking nation but not Great Britain. Rather, it would
