The Abundance Paradigm
by Amaterasu Solar
Foreword 2024
I wrote this novella in 2008, and have versions of it posted around the web. I will post each chapter in a separate post, and link to previous chapters as I go. There are 12 chapters to the book, and I may not post every day, so I don’t know how long it will be before We get to the end.
The first two chapters provide the setting for what things will look like in the future, and in the third, the diary of Amelia Ringer arrives to give offset.
I was much more naive back then, so do forgive the naiveté. I also changed a few things from the original, but mostly left it alone. See You at the end.
Chapter 7
The next morning Lee and I took our breakfast on the terrace, gazing at the bridge, gilt in actual gold now and glowing in the early sun, and at the bay, and the skyline to our right, also now a mostly golden sight, with the hills of Sausalito to our left. Others were gathering in the skies around the bay, and though no one was nearby, I would guess that already three hundred thousand houses had found their viewpoint for tonight’s display. The whole shoreline of the bay was dotted with houses, parked at many levels above the surface, none close to one another except as it might appear so in the distance, and except for groups that were connected to share the experience together.
We had a team of ’botties place a sofa facing the view of the bay over the edge of the terrace. As they brought a table laden with finest caviar, fresh coconut, and other organic delights, we sat and tasted the spiral of anticipation sensed around the bay, seeing a house here and there settling into place, sometimes close enough to distinguish it was a house, but most often as a dot off towards the city or Sausalito, with the field filling in across the bay throughout the day.
Our repose led to expressions of our love, and in repose we languished for a while, nibbling on the delights from the table and each other.
Finally, I said, “I really want to read more of the diary.”
Lee knew well my particular gratitude and interest in Amelia, and we both implicitly understood the synchronistic aspect of his discovery, and so he understood my shift of focus. Besides, he, too, enjoyed the bits of history he discovered on his phototreks, and this was as exciting to him as it was to me. We both relished the fact that we could share this find.
Lee nodded eagerly, and at my thought, the diary was retrieved from its last location and brought forth by a ’bottie. It still sat on top of the brown plastic bag which sat atop the zipper bag, and the ’bottie laid the stack beside me. We settled in to read with a final kiss.

To the Lizard Hearted I have been pointing out the advantages of letting the Human Hearted free. Sure, they would no longer have us as slaves – and if you believe some, as food, ritual objects, and sexual toys – but they also would not have to spend time worrying about how to keep us from the truth. They, too, would benefit from the chance to direct their creativity, being served by the robots, rather than us, to the standard of living they now have.We, in turn, in granting them their luxury, expect ours to be allowed as well. Individuals of Sapience will build their lives to the quality picture they hold. We will commingle because we like one another’s company, and not because we are toadies for money.
In fact, I implore people to look at what they toadie themselves for, and ask if it would not be better to have all you want when you want it and never have to deal with that person who gives you orders again? Isn’t that worth letting the dam on the truth loose? And that goes for both the Human Hearted and the Lizard Hearted alike.
I’m not going to go into the Lizard Hearted with Stephen on his show. The point will be that we have the tech and the resources to do this for ourselves, as a race, now, and there are strongly ethical reasons for taking the reigns and making it happen.
I live in an area with a lot of Amish, and I think of what choices they might make when offered the advantages of abundance. Many, I suspect, will choose to keep their community as it is. The things, that now they sell produce at stands to acquire, they can have for the asking if they want, and when they want, but the cycle of life will continue as it has for them. In as little as a generation or two, though, I see the community integrating much that is out there with their spiritual pursuits. There will be people leaving them…but there will be people asking to join, as well.
Other groups who might shun technology will be welcome to do so. No one will be forced to choose tech in their lives. That’s really what it’s all about. Individual Autonomy within the informed willingness of all involved, once adulthood is reached. Though I see a degree of “wild and crazy” behavior initially, as an unfamiliar level of freedom opens up, once the freedom is familiar, and creative bliss is the focus, Love will abide.
Life will be extended, health will improve, aging may be halted entirely, space travel may become free for all who might choose to see what goes on out there in the Universe at large. Products will be built to optimums, rather than lowest tolerance. The quality of all things will improve.
Life will improve for all.
But trying to move people past the scarcity paradigm is so difficult. Even still, I have people bring up greed. And conscious robots. And materials. And energy. Out of hand they proclaim it won’t work.
Some do see, though, and that is what gives me heart. Some grasp well what it means, and the ethics involved. And soon, I hope, enough will see to make it happen.
Lee and I smiled at one another.

Someone asked me, what rules should we live by?I point out that Individuals of Sentience have rights. They have 100% right to what happens in their domicile, except as another person records (their perspective). They have a right to do what they wish, provided it does not involve others unwillingly, provided it is within the three Laws. They have the right to record their perspective, and may choose to release any of their perspective they feel others either need to know or would enjoy. But they cannot be forced to “testify against themselves,” nor are they required to record their perspective. No one can use another’s perspective without willing donation.
Children must be recorded until they can understand Personal Witness, and be taught as early as possible the advantage and advocacy that recording what happens to them offers. They, too, cannot be forced to testify against themselves, but should they die their data is opened publicly. Adults may pass their data to others in a will, and those others may make public what they choose, except in cases where foul play is suspected, and then the last 24 hours of recording can be opened to public scrutiny. All data becomes historical record 150 years after death.
What the right to one’s perspective, along with complete control of the data, results in is that people will be conscious of their behavior and choose better behavior lest they be recorded behaving poorly. Peers – any who are shown a recording (all recordings offered to substantiate poor behavior must be publicly available) – can determine whether an individual has behaved so poorly that something needs to be done. Amongst the peers a decision on disposition can be made. An ethical solution can be formulated.
But, of course, with money gone as a motive for behaving poorly, as well as need, and combined with the fact that people will move in circles of those they like, poor behavior will be rare.
Beyond the foundational right of Personal Witness, we have these rights: the right to ethically solve for any problem, the right to self-defense with any arms we see fit – it is wise to presume all are armed, the right to arrest anyone choosing to break the three Laws, the right to free speech – it is the listener’s responsibility to choose how they feel about what they hear another say, the right to congregate with others in any number, the right to keep what we have acquired ethically, the right to believe as we choose – religiously or without religion, the right to publish our thoughts and opinions, the right to be left alone unless evidence suggests we have chosen our behavior unethically, the right to choose how we spend our time, and the right to travel freely on our planet and beyond.
I am sure that if enough people can move past the scarcity paradigm, we Humans will free ourselves. With Stephen’s help, maybe I can jumpstart this! I am very excited by the chance to bring the concepts to others.
“Hey, I wonder if Cara and the gang are free,” I commented as I stretched. “I wouldn’t mind inviting them over for the show. What do you think?”
Lee stretched along side me and nodded. “Sure, if they’re available. Sounds like a plan.”
Cara, Tim and The Kid – who was not a child, actually; that was just his name – were friends with an interesting arrangement. The three of them were married, and all three had their bliss in social reporting. They attended soirees, parties and events and then reported on them on the Web – on their blog, TiCK.net. Their site on the Web is highly trafficked, and they have a reputation for good suggestions as to public events to attend. Often they were busy, but now and then they had nothing to do.
“I’ll call and see if any or all of them are available.” I got up and, with another stretch, called to have myself connected with their house.
Tim’s hologram appeared on the terrace nearby, sitting in an ornately carved wooden chair. “Izzy! Long time no talk! What’s up?”
“Hey, Tim. You and the gang busy tonight?”
Tim reached and pulled a holographic bowl of cereal from the air nearby, stirring it with a spoon, and said, “Well, we are in San Francisco for the fireworks. You know about the show?”
I grinned widely. “Sure do! In fact… That’s where WE are!” I laughed.
Tim took a bite of cereal, chewing quickly and swallowing before responding. “That’s great! Wanna get together?”
“In fact,” I offered, “that’s why I called. I thought it would be great to have the gang over. Interested?”
Tim finished another bite and replied, “Let me check with Cara and The Kid. I’m thinking it doesn’t matter whether we report the perspective from here or there, so they’re not likely to mind. They’re out at the moment, but I’ll call them and get back with you.”
I nodded. “I’ll await your call with bated breath,” I said with a wink and a smile, and Tim blinked out.
I looked over to Lee, and he grinned at me, then beckoned me to his side. We cuddled and stroked each other, building desire but holding back in anticipation of Tim’s return call.
Shortly, I received notice that Tim was calling, and I instructed the house to put him through.
“Hey, Izzy. Does 6:30 sound good? Cara and The Kid said it sounded splendid, and we can be there.” Tim’s smile spoke of his pleasure at the coming evening.
“Oh, that’s great! 6:30 is perfect. I’ll have a meal waiting, so come with empty stomachs. We’ll see you then!” I returned Tim’s smile.
Tim nodded. “Thanks for the invite.”
“Most welcome, Tim.” I waved and then Tim vanished.
I turned to Lee and gently bit his ear. He cupped my breast, and as I instructed the house to welcome the gang anywhere from 6:00 on for a while – remind me later if they don’t show up by 8:00 – I crested on his shores.

My father taught Me never to believe anything. He told Me to place probabilities and adjust them as new data come along, asking the question, "Does that explain what I see?," when evaluating data. He was an aerospace engineer, and worked with T Townsend Brown (see My featured vid on Odysee or YouToilet). From a very early age I was concerned that the way I was told things worked, in terms of government and social affairs, did not explain what I saw. So the first few decades I worked to determine WHY this was.
I wound up in banking, seeing the flow of things in the headquarters of a major bank in Los Angeles. I became intimately familiar with the flow of money, and economics. I asked the question, "Why do We use money?"
When the web arrived, My research capabilities flourished, and I learned much that explained what I saw, but the only explanations I found for why We use money started with trade and barter, which are still money in a direct form, and did not answer the WHY. Then, I came upon the explanation that these were used because, with a finite amount of stuff, it was to ensure that We got Our "fair share" in a scarcity environment, in exchange for the work We added.
From this I realized the WHY. We were accounting for Our energy input into things. And that We needed to do this because the Human energy was scarce compared to what We needed to be produced (back then).
I also discovered that over half Our planet's wealth was "owned" by fewer than 100 Humans...
I was very interested in psychology, too. And studied it deeply, being fascinated by psychopathy, focusing on that aberration, learning that They had discovered a gene that manifested Individuals who were incapable of love, compassion, caring, and empathy for Others – primary psychopaths. Seeing that the wealth was so disproportionate, and that the families who "owned" it inbred, what would explain what I saw would be that They wanted to retain that psychopathic gene. Given that the wealth could feed, clothe, house ALL of Us (and give Us freedom) abundantly and many times over, and yet None set forth to care for Humanity, I had to give probability approaching 100% that They are psychopaths, as that explains perfectly what I see, and answers My quest for why the way I was told things worked did not explain what I saw.
And I asked... If I was a psychopath, with enough wealth to buy anything and anyOne I wanted to, and given that money = power (power over Others is something psychopaths seek), would I be motivated to create a false "reality" for the masses and thereby manipulate Them? I think You can figure out what answer I came up with. And would that explain what I see? Absolutely.
Now, given that money is merely the accounting token used to account for Our Human energy, it would follow that free energy would threaten fully the accounting for Our energy. If I was a psychopath, with enough money to buy sites like Wikipedia, the media, the education system, etc., would I do all I could to suppress and hide free energy?
And given I personally know that electrogravitics offers both gravity control and energy from the aether (the electromagnetic field that pervades the universe), and that it went into black projects, such efforts to hide and suppress would explain what I see completely.
So I am neither a "conspiracy theorist," nor am I a "conspiritard," but rather... I am a conspiracy analyst. And given this analysis, knowing that conspiracies are the NORM in history and that they didn't just stop some years back, I conclude that conspiracies abound. That explains perfectly what I see.
Love always.
