CTMU MOVEMENT—Intentional Communities and Silent Revolution; the Battle for Hearts and Minds
In Our first ‘Braintrust’ Meeting of the CTMU Compatriots featuring Mr. Brown, Mr. Swofford, Mr. Tommy and Myself, there was mention of ‘Intentional Communities’ for the CTMU. Where Mr. Swofford told Us that He has Close Friends Who know the CTMU and Who would be able to potentially form a localized social unit which could in theory act to stabilize Their lives through any future Turbulent Times.
And Mr. Tommy intuits that We should be “building high schools.”
Nothing Of what I say below will disqualify these statements of intent nor the Spirit for Which they are intended.
It’s simply that I have an intuition or a gut feeling that the Way Culture is Reformed and Revolutions take place is a little more Surreal [in a strange-peculiar Yet Beautiful Way] than the ‘brick and mortar’ or ‘ground zero’ of Intentional Communities. That is, the way that History moves with the living breathing souls inside of it and inside of an actual Country such as the United States or Canada is different from the communes which were tested by case in the 19th century. Real change is different, ‘other’ than funding new building or going off to live in a commune. Or even the ‘neighbourhood of friendlies’ approach.
Now none of this is What Mr. Swofford or Tommy were saying, it is just My thinking through of a Metaphysical and Real Life scenarios for the Future.
And What I will say is that while Intentional Communities are usually a Young Man’s fantasy, communes never materialize or sustain, and local projects most of the time die on the vine. What is Real, and this should be encouraging…is that Silent Revolutions for the Hearts and Minds of the People really can and do take place in History, this is real and not fiction of fantasy.
Whereas focusing on What We can build by ‘brick and mortar,’ or live with or Friends in Close proximity. What happens rather is a Silent Shift in Beliefs. And from across the country or the English speaking world, far flung Persons are thrust into close knit circles of associations. With the Internet this becomes so very easy as well. Facebook, YouTube, and Zoom make collecting minds from disparate regions of an Empire so very easy. Instantaneous communication and idea sharing and even face to face conversations over the Phone or Laptop—and these Circles, Groups and Association will Grow as I Hope the ‘Compatriots of the CTMU’ does, in Strength.
With intellectual leadership comes rapid diffusion and dissemination into the People. And certain Zealots will come out of the Woods to perform the function of Fighting for Ideals and LifeWorlds.
Just like Patriots rally behind the MAGA Movement and before this the American Flag. In like manner the Metaphysical Truths of the Langanites will Catch Fire and cascade through the English Speaking World.
First come the Intellectuals, then come the Bright and Hopeful Minded, Who go on to become Metaphysical Meaning Warriors and then in this way an immovable core is Manifest.
It will take Time—And Yet We in the Compatriots and those of You Who Follow Langan will be surprised How rapidly change comes On.
3 Years Ago I hadn’t even done a dedicated Read of the CTMU. Now I am witnessing a Dedicated and Faithful Circle of Intellectuals Lead and Teach a Movement to anyone Who will Hear Them.
God pulls the Strings, and If You have Love and Devotion in Your Heart You Know that God Smiles Upon Your Destiny, Your Teleology.
None of this is to disparage Intentional Communities. Rather I am painting portrait of What Culture Revolutions Look Like. It starts with Metaphysical Truth, then Downstream is Culture, living breathing, then downstream from Here is Politics.
When the Founding Fathers of the American Republic knew the Way to a New Country and a New Beginning, they Knew that they had to capture Hearts and Minds of the People. Which had to be By Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness as well as Government Of, By, and For the People.
I ask My fellows in the CTMU in earnest does the CTMU resonate with the same Force of Conviction. If You Do Not Believe that it does then the spark is already Gone.
However, If You Believe that Your Task and Purpose is to Deliver the World to a New Meta-Truth with the same Love, Care, and Affection in the Belief. Combining Faith with Reason. With the Same ‘Animating Spirit’ as the Founding Fathers, Only Found in the Present Moment. And the CTMU is a Living Worship of Our Creator God and Jesus Christ with all of Our Heart, Body, Soul and Mind.
With All of this Being True for Me, I hope it is True for You.
And as the Saying Goes, if You posses a ‘Why’ You can Bear Any ‘How.’
And Our ‘Why’ I will Restate Here, to become Second Nature to Us…
that We are to establish a Pillar of Truth in the Heart of All Science, the CTMU as an Institute of All Science. Reclaim the Telic Economy [Our Livelihood], Reclaim the University [Our Future], Re-enliven the Culture [Our LifeBlood], and Alight a Moral [God-Centred] Compass Over the Whole of Western Civilization in a New Enlightenment coupling Faith with Reason.
There Will Be More on Logistics in the Future and the Baby Steps taken towards this Silent Revolution will become clear once the day develops them. In Toto lend Your Breath and Your Spirit to the CTMU and to God Our Father, then Your Path will be set before You. In Jesus’ Name Amen, - Greg W.
Greg - Just so you know ... Ethan Swofford and a couple of his friends (most notably John Rice) are among a very small handful of people who are currently banned from our fora. Not because they are bad people (at least not in Ethan's case), but because they are dangerously naive, insatiably needy, and cannot control their behavior. Their behavior was so egregious (the fallout cost us Patreon and led to the disappearance and presumed death of a vulnerable CTMU supporter) that they are not only banned (on the advice of our lawyer) but we avoid associating with anyone who is even friendly with them.
The real "CTMU movement" is the CTMU Teleologic Living plan (www.teleologic.org). It's not about forming a cult; rather, it's about teaching people to be healthy and whole and lifting those around them. If you want to spread the CTMU, the most beneficial way to to that would be to introduce them to teleologic living through the CTMU. Chris and I are working on a book about the plan that won't be ready until next year but the outline of the plan and much of the material that is going into the course is already available at the teleologic substack linked above.
