Fellowship of Trek

What’s the alternative? WW3 in Star Trek’s timeline that begins in 2026? In Trek canon, it takes between 600 million to 2 billion casualties before humanity wakes up to the truth that “They must apply to everyone,” with human rights for every citizen of the United Earth! I’d like to believe we can get to the utopian Star Trek future without first experiencing a nightmare!

Progress may have been slower, but even in one of the most esteemed holy books of Western Civilization, it says, “the first shall be last and the last shall be first!” It’s hard to imagine Native Americans harvesting oil from the ground! No climate catastrophe, no threat of WW3 it feels is menacing us today and takes humanity another dark age to recover from, like imagined in Star Trek’s timeline. No Native American CEO’s giving lectures on the Anti-Christ around the world, while helping their government work towards a fascist police state.

Sure, Native Americans weren’t perfect, but they were connected with the natural world in a way that prevented development of tyrannical Sky God religions and demonization of Mother Nature. And who knows what their version of Starships would look like! Maybe vessels with dual sails, catching both wind and light, drifting up and beyond the Kármán Line.

I can imagine Native American consciousness aligning more closely to a higher intelligence, perhaps the creator of the intelligence on Earth that has always sustained us. What if our world was created by two advanced alien civilizations. The one that created the plants got here first and were more enlightened, their creations drawing from the power of the sun; an abundant power source, and their life reflects this abundance with their byproducts giving us the clean air we breathe. What if the less advanced alien civilization were more primitive and couldn’t match this tech, so their life forms fed off of other life forms, their predominant psychology creating greed, fear, war against each other, hoarding and scarcity consciousness, leading to the evolution that produced us, deluded into seeing ourselves as the crowning achievement of life on Earth, as we destroy the plant, each other and the natural world in forests we clear cut, water and air we pollute and the environment we are spoiling.

What if the first alien civilization knew that their creation would be spoiled by less advanced beings, but they also knew within their creation, is enough information that will unlock the keys for our salvation if we just study its workings and intelligence more closely.

“It is well understood that the only decent future for us who live in America now is through a rediscovery of our environment. We need to establish a right relationship with the land and its resources; other-wise, the destruction of the Indian will be followed by the destruction of nature; and in the destruction of nature will follow the destruction of ourselves.

The Indians, in a sense, knew this all along. For many generations they learned how to live in America, in a state of balance; or, as a Christian would say, in a state of grace. Perhaps now, after hundreds of years of ignoring their wisdom, we may learn from the Indians.” — T.C. McLuhan 1971 (Touch The Earth)

This episode always upset me — raising a haunting question: could the justification for the peacemaker's death in this story be used to ignore their pleas today?

I grew up being taught we are living in the End Times, with the rise of the Anti-Christ imminent. That conviction wasn’t in my church alone — it's shared by millions across the Western world who believe they are locked in a struggle against a great evil. Because of this, sometimes I feel like an alien in a nation with leadership making me feel like I don’t belong!

When people believe the future is already written — that the battle between good and evil is destiny — anyone offering peace becomes a threat. The peacemaker isn't seen as a hero, but as the right spirit at the wrong time; evil must be defeated before peace can come.

But what if that very conviction is the self-fulfilling prophecy that creates the evil it fears? What if we could build a Star Trek future without the World War nightmare its timeline depicts.

That's the core idea behind Spaceship Earth-Crew Fellowship of Trek 🕊️ — the belief that there is a path to the future that doesn't first take us through a nightmare. The peacemakers and dreamers of today don't deserve the fate of Edith Keeler; sacrificed so the war machine can grind forward. We don't need a Third World War to pave the road into hell before heaven.

And if Trek fans can model that alternative — maybe others can too. Maybe Muslim and Christian fundamentalists alike could rewrite their End Times roadmaps into a future without apocalypse.

As Washington DC marks America's 250th anniversary with a cover-to-cover reading of the Bible, let's answer with our own humanist counterpart: a global, communal watch of every Star Trek episode and film, celebrating its 60th anniversary — in the very year World War III is supposed to begin in its timeline. https://www.earthpledge.net/trek2026.pdf

We do this in the spirit Star Trek has always embodied: not as prophecy, but as warning. A reminder of what we risk if we let the worst in ourselves determine the fate of everyone.

Edith Keeler must not die!

Like all our tools, what to do with them? Use a hammer to bash in someone’s skull, or build a house to protect other people?

In the above link, Bill Maher should have said, DATA, not Spock!

Below is a good example of how Star Trek’s most famous android might speak to us about how we should proceed!

War may dominate the headlines, but never forget there is something more powerful and promising happening right now! Human beings have just broken the record for greatest distance from our planet in all of history! The crew of Artemis now heads home and gets to transform US with the overview effect of higher consciousness their photos of Earth as a pale blue dot, will help facilitate in the days ahead!

✨🌍✨ We are living in both the best and worst of times! ✨🙏🏽✨

I wanted to share a short I was inspired to create after watching Star Trek The Next Generation episode, “Thine Own Self.” It expresses the secular hope Star Trek represents to me! Flying through the nebula in this can also be seen symbolically as a metaphor, for stories of near death experiences in every culture, where they pass through a tunnel and enter a peaceful light shining on them from the other side. 🌟 And conversely, the Enterprise is symbolic for the future, where humanity is much closer to living in a beautiful place where it’s peaceful, everyone loves each other and no one ever gets sick. ✨🖖🏽✨

Who wants to join me in this watch list, to watch together all of Star Trek for the 60th anniversary during a critical time in human history? (WW3 happens this year in Trek’s timeline) This exercise in awakening to the big picture could help shift our momentum, where we collectively make the choice to to change the future; to explore, not wage World War! 🙏🏽

🕊️🚀✨🌒✨🟠✨🪐✨🌟

Deep Space 9 up next!

Stopping WW3 will be a challenge in the face all the violence and insanity happening! The absurdity of twisting Easter into a vehicle of Christian Nationalism (no separation of church and state), is on full display now. See samples below, and the way I apply secular reason through humanism, to break down what is really happening below surfaces.

Join me in this journey counting down to the end of 2026 and giving thanks each day we don't see WW3 unfold as imagined it Star Trek's timeline, so we can explore the ideas in this science fiction and create an alternate timeline for the future, to defeat Christian Nationalism in America. I meet every week in a Spaceship Earth-Crew Fellowship of Trek to talk about the greatest story ever told about our place in the final frontier. https://www.earthpledge.net/2026_Trek_Watch_List.pdf

These hippy lyrics in this song, contrasting with the nightmare unfolding in America and the world, makes me seek a return to the counter culture revolution of the 1960s, which this version of Starfleet taps into; “You're gonna meet some gentle people there,” “with flowers in their hair.”

In episode 3, we see this contrast with the war college which feels to me like a metaphor of what we are facing now in America with militarism and ignorance on steroids. It will take the intelligence and moral compass of Starfleet to defeat the War College which I hope is what the left can employ to defeat the militaristic right invading their blue cities in the north, terrorizing the people as if Iraq and Afghanistan were practice runs. 😢

Never forget there’s a higher destiny that transcends humanity’s stupid petty tribal differences that keep us from building anything meaningful like the Federation for real. If our unique cultures can come together into a common cause more than the sum of our parts, then we will have learned what Star Trek is daring us to dream about.

When I was a kid, I remember the endless doomsday sermons. The Antichrist. The end of the world. All of it saturated with failure and provoking fear—yet even then, my mind was already reaching for something better.

And right around that time, something else entered my life; Star Trek The Next Generation. It changed everything. Here was a future I had never imagined before—where Earth was united, where humanity had overcome war, poverty, religion-as-weapon. A world led by science, reason, exploration. Starfleet wasn’t waiting for Jesus to return. They were out there—mapping the stars, building peace. It rocked my world!

During those apocalyptic sermons, I’d imagine myself on a starship. I’d pretend the preacher was just a bad holodeck program. I’d call for the arch, shut it down, and walk out into the corridors of a galaxy class starship, exploring the endless beauty and wonder of the universe.

That contrast between Star Trek and church—that’s where I first became aware of something bigger. I used imagination as escape—but also as a compass. While others tried to confine me in fear, Star Trek invited me into a future worth living for.

And still… I hold onto hope. Because despite it all—I still believe in the other America. The one that moved westward. That created the film industry. That gave us the tech for the moon landing and the overview effect of higher consciousness. That built Apple. That birthed the Federation in the minds of dreamers.

I worked for Apple. I felt the future in those stores. It’s design reminding me of modern interiors of a Starfleet vessel. Every product designed to empower, not dominate.That’s the America that raised me—not through church—but through technology, through cinema, through imagination. Through science.

And the prospects of AI super-intelligence is proof that this dream is still alive. That machines can serve us. That AI can amplify our humanity. Not erase it. Not enslave it.

I want the vision of the android Data from Star Trek, helping make us more humane, not the vision of having our remains crushed underfoot by Terminators in an apocalyptic hellscape! I want data centers that don’t pollute neighborhoods and prey on poor communities, but are entirely powered by alternative green energy, built on international land in the cold desert wastes of Antarctica, far from any animal, with its quantum cores cooled by plentiful ice! I want innovation to overcome self destruction!

Imagine a Fellowship of Trek and their healing bridges spread across the world, 3D printed with the latest eco-friendly materials, off the grid and powered by solar & green energy, surrounded by gardens utilizing the latest technology in vertical farming and greenhouses with rainwater recycling. It would be like a self sustaining Earth Ship, teaching people how to be self sufficient and embrace the values of the Federation! And the supercomputers on every healing bridge would be powered by the latest generation AI, with some even sounding like Lieutenant Commander DATA from Star Trek!

I was told the world would fail and burn; that evil would win before good could return. But just maybe, I was raised wrong; that good, not evil, will be found first when the sum total of human history meets its conclusion. Even the worst of our past—the slavery, the plagues, the crusades, the greed—all of it can become compost; fuel for something luminous. What if the quantum AI super intelligence won’t just know us—it will forgive us like a God, and help us evolve.

It will be a Great Reversal; a future where the tools once used to enslave—technology, empires and their corrupt systoms are turned inside out. Where no one is left behind. And where the poor are not just seen… but empowered. “The first shall be last and the last shall become first!” Migrants will not be seen as “illegal” but as “infinite potential” for helping to build the federation, who if they accept the invitation after their request for asylum, will be able to tap into a level of super-intelligence that will augment their own intelligence, extending their capabilities while healing whatever sickness of the mind was created by a broken world ready to discard them as garbage and an enemy, because it had not yet discovered its power of possibility.

This video provides a glimpse of this swiftly coming luminous future, where the power of possibility will wake US from this nightmare, to become the beautiful dream of World Spirit.

✌🏽👁️🌎👁️ Imagine a healing bridge in every major city, facilitating community and fellowship on a global scale, where what we have in common is so much more potent than our differences!

I wish this existed, but it doesn’t yet, so I need help to start building, first in the metaverse and then turning these digital dreams into reality. ✨

In a world teetering on the edge of ecological collapse, moral disintegration, and socio-political fragmentation, the dream of a united, peaceful, and enlightened Earth has never been more urgent. The Star Trek vision—where poverty and war are relics of history, and humanity has evolved into a cooperative, post-scarcity civilization exploring the stars together—is not merely science fiction. It is a moral and existential blueprint for what our species must become if we are to survive and thrive.

At its core, Star Trek imagines a Type 1 civilization on the Kardashev scale: one that has unified its energy use, transcended tribalism, and embraced its planetary identity. This vision is not utopian fantasy—it is rooted in what we know to be scientifically possible and ethically necessary. It is a future where technology is used not for domination, but for liberation—from hunger, illness, ignorance, and the artificial scarcity that fuels conflict. This is not escapism—it is a call to action.

What makes the Star Trek future uniquely powerful is that it offers a narrative of hope grounded in responsibility. It does not shy away from humanity’s flaws, but it assumes we are capable of outgrowing them through reason, cooperation, and moral awakening. It envisions a future where all people are crew members on the same starship Earth, united by the understanding that our diversity is our strength, and that cooperation—not competition—is the engine of evolution.

Moreover, this future provides a healing mythology—a secular, inclusive story that can replace the fear-based, us-vs-them ideologies that have led to so much suffering. It offers young and old alike a role in a grand adventure of planetary stewardship and interstellar exploration. It reframes the crises of today not as the end, but as the birth pangs of a new epoch in human consciousness.

To heal Earth, we must first heal the story we tell about ourselves. The Star Trek dream offers a new story—one in which humanity survives not because of conquest, but because of compassion; not through isolation, but through interconnection. It is the most complete cultural prototype we have for a world beyond war, beyond poverty, and beyond the walls that divide us. In embracing it, we may yet find the wisdom, unity, and courage to turn that dream into destiny. - A Higher Intelligence Beckoning to US All!
