Why hasn’t the government done anything, and what can we do about gun violence and assault weapons?
The reason why the government hasn’t done anything about gun violence and assault weapons is due to republican politics. The government is part of the problem, but it can be part of the solution. The government does help us in a lot of areas, and it can in this area.
In a democracy, people elect their leaders to represent them. Therefore, those representatives who do nothing represent a certain segment of the population. Those they represent are evangelical or they are people who are filled with fear. That fear is a result of traditional beliefs that say human nature is tainted or flawed. That fear comes from a belief in evil and the mistaken assumption that certain people are evil.
A new core premise on which to base a new civilization
International philosophy is based on the idea that we are fundamentally good rather than naturally inclined to do wrong, with the knowledge that what we believe is physically manifest. Flawed beliefs generate flawed behavior in the same way a faulty operating program in a good computer will cause it to run improperly.

EN CLIENT: Why did you offer a new book this year at no cost?
EASTWOOD: There are conflicts and violence worldwide that tell me the majority are creating by default, are divisive or both.
CLIENT: But why an all-ages book?
EASTWOOD: Someone told me that mental health expenditures in Singapore are estimated at nearly $16 billion (about $49 per person in the US) a year, a nation of only 5.5 million people, and the problem is not exclusive to adults.
EASTWOOD: When you have solutions, you can’t sit back and do nothing.

To find the real reason why the government hasn’t done anything about gun violence and assault weapons we must look specifically at the beliefs of the people represented by obstructionists.
The beliefs of obstructionists are fear-based. The belief that people are murderous and bloodthirsty creates a perceived need to carry weapons for self-defense. The people who hold these beliefs are also obstructionists. They are like the inquisitors of the Middle Ages who pull back human rights and condemn other humans.
The most extreme beliefs are non-logical because fear is non-logical. Hate and a belief in evil is not based on logic. Hate is based on an emotionally charged belief in human evil. This is why it is stubborn and seemingly immovable.
However, American democracy is based on the idea that people are born equal, or in other words that they are good and deserving.
People who think human nature is evil think other people and the government must be stopped. Distrust of human nature and the belief in evil is therefore at the root of the problem.
Most obstructionists on the right believe that America is moving in the wrong direction. Progress triggered a worldwide backlash, and this is simply a lot of myth and superstition objecting to all the progress civilization and democracies in particular have made since the civil rights movement began in the 1960’s, and to some degree since Martin Luther and the founding of America.

“The core belief of our civilization is a miscalculation that is driving humanity’s problems.”
— William Eastwood
The underlying problem has to do with worldviews
One segment of the population is highly distrustful of the other and wants to carry guns to protect themselves. The other segment of the population is not more trusting, but believes that the government, social controls and programs can best solve the problem. Neither group is entirely correct. Both groups share an underlying distrust of human nature and an underlying understanding of reality that is basically faulty. If we change this underlying conception of reality, we can solve the problem.

Simplistic black and white thinking
Physicalism has had its glory, and its days are numbered. It is a myth to say that reality is a physical construct. Reality is a projection of the worldviews, beliefs and thoughts of its occupants. This is now leading physics.
The world’s most respected physicists attribute the collapse of physicalism to a concept known as entanglement, a concept that says everything is connected. Entanglement reveals that the universe is not a physical construction but is something far different.
Our five senses experience objects as being solid, but we know that they are not solid, but mostly if not completely, empty space consisting of only waves of energy containing information.
If you are open to changing reality, take a good look at what I am trying to say here. Reality is a projection. Reality is not a finished product. Our reality is a manifestation of what we believe.
A philosophy of personal power
Thoughts are fields of energy that form matter. We have built a civilization on the division between mind and matter, yet both are the same — consciousness and matter are both composed of electromagnetic fields.
Thoughts combine with similar thoughts and transform themselves into probable events which contain the impetus and pattern necessary to evolve into the complexity of matter.
- You project your own psychological energy out to form the physical world.
- Ideas and emotions are energy that coalesce as events and objects.
- Your life is a learning experience you chose in order to learn how to project energy.
- Your life situation gives you clarity as to what you are projecting psychologically.
- You are in your own hologram.
The problem of acceptance is prejudice, not lack of evidence
There is more evidence that consciousness creates reality than there is evidence that black holes exist. There is more evidence supporting Internal Science theory than physicalism.

Why hasn’t the government done anything about assault weapons?
The government hasn’t done anything about assault weapons because congress is divided. Democrats want action, but Republicans want to preserve the right to carry a gun. The division and problems in the government are a symptom of a deeper problem. That deeper, underlying problem is creating division and gun violence. In fact, the government has done something and is passing legislation despite the political division, but it’s not enough because it is not addressing the core of the problem.
If the people around you are harassing or bullying you, or if you are mistreated, you are going to be angry and you’re going to strike out. Basically, it’s that simple. People will hit us where it hurts most as a form of payback for perceived wrongs. If we don’t express our anger in an acceptable way, we bottle it up and we risk an explosion of anger and frustration.
The problem is therefore in whatever it is that is aggravating people in those areas that have a problem with gun violence.
We may think we do, but don’t live in a country where there is a lot of kindness to go around. Being polite and civil is not necessarily being warm and openly kind. The kind of compassion we need to solve gun violence requires a deep trust of human nature, something that American’s lack because of what they have been taught about reality and humans.
Americans in general tend to think everything is a scam, a threat, a danger and trust no one. They may even make an effort to be nice to people precisely because they believe most people are not nice. They make the point that if other people are not good, they are.
