The Three Spheres: East, West And Digital
How Digital Technology Turned The West-Centric Global Order Into A “3-Body Problem” And How The Asian Sphere Is Winning.
Preparing For What’s Next….
With John Alton
Dear Maverick,
We are kicking off our Knowledge Series Webinars with John Alton on October 11, 2023, at 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Mark it in your calendars and we’ll send a reminder with a link before the event.
John is a member of the geostrategic advisory organization Exogenous, Inc (EXO), a private, for-profit version of the Pentagon’s ONA – providing “Net Assessment” of the Three Spheres and the global confusion caused by the “3-body problem.”
But it’s his connections to the highest levels of government in China that I (Tain) asked him to share with us on the Webinar. John knows many of these people personally and has an important understanding of how the Chinese brass see the “Grand Chessboard” at this moment in history.
Here’s John:
“The East Sphere is powered by China’s grand strategy to build a digitally enabled, Daoist civilization offering a global alternative to the West. The East wants new alliances between nations and cultures that reclaim historical roots – rather than playing the Western, kleptocratic “democracy” game, which is failing before our eyes. Nylons and cigarettes won’t cut it anymore. History and meaning now have value.”
John’s going to cover:
- How and why the deterioration of the West-dominant “modern world” is an indication of the growing presence of a “Digital civilization.”
- Why Eastern civilizations (China and India) were never “modern” in a Western sense – and how digital tech is driving those cultures to “remember” their historic identities.
- The difficult birthing of a new world order will be based on new sciences – and must reconcile the spiritual/energetic with the secular/material.
From 1987-1989, John was a professor at Beijing University and trained in martial arts and Qigong, the ancient traditional health exercise reputedly 4,000+ years old, which underwent a revival in China during the 1980s. He left Beijing in the aftermath of the Tiananmen Uprising, which he saw develop and explode firsthand.
His first book (Living Qigong), attracted the attention of the US Office of Net Assessment (ONA) and its liaisons in the Chinese government. In 1999, John, a high-ranking ONA operative, and China’s top health NGO formed a private venture for facilitating Chinese-US medical institutional exchanges. A second book (Unified Fitness) outlining a Western medical explanation for Qigong resulted in a research appointment at the University of Virginia’s complementary medicine center.
In 2016, a third, research-based book (Autonomic Intelligence) followed that drills down to the mechanisms Chinese traditional health practices use to promote healing from infection and serious injury.
John’s talk will run about 30-40 minutes with a moderated discussion at the end and time for Q&A.
Once again, mark your calendar now, note the timezone is set to US Eastern (NY) and watch for the webinar link to come out closer to the date.
This will be fascinating!
