They are Luciferians they have an
object, they are heading towards it.
Talking about meta-system transitions and organic computers and whatever.
You've got all the lingo.
One group that is heavily involved in this is
Principia Cybernetica with these two creatures.
And there basic ideology is again to evolve and they call it
there work a evolving self adjusting self improving machine
but they also speak in, it might not sound it right away
but they are speaking in occult metaphysical terminology.
That's what always fascinates me.
They talk about what is called an ''Omega point.''
Well Omega in occult symbolism is Lucifer or Satan you can choose whichever
one because that's not me saying that that's official Christian theology.
Alpha is Christ, Omega is the antithesis.
And Omega is often used as the monicker as the tempter the Devil.
And these Jesuit backed Technocrats, techno-elites are
moving in there own words toward this Omega point,
using terms like ''Meta-system Transition towards the
global brain'' just Doctor Frankensteinian wet dreams.
If any of you has followed my Atlantis work they
know about the alien blood and I said we all
have it but some people are far more oriented
towards it, well they have to keep busy too.
That alien part of us needs to keep busy.
As long as they don't get busy with millions of dollars behind them.
That's why its dangerous.
I didn't mind if they played in there sand box and leave everybody alone.
Carry on...
And this is another one, Stephen Thaler, I just took one clip of this nonsense.
Go on to Google and Youtube and type this in, his name
Stephen Thaler and he does his whole routine and just
turn down the volume and watch the amount of occult
symbolism he uses with his hands and his body language,
then turn it up and listen to the same thing he is
doing with his dialogue right, its all pseudo mystical
rhetoric lased with subliminal references to collective
consciousness and to the global intelligence.
It sounds all highfalutin one of the quotes
he uses towards the end as he is building up
this Occult message, here's the language, ''There
is an alien consciousness all around us.''
Its embedded in there right and then he describes himself as a,
remember how I said the technocrats have taken over from religion?
He says it himself he says ''I place myself
between Darwin and Creationism'' weren't these
guys at logger heads weren't these guys in
pillow fights for the last hundreds of years?!
And now they re-invent themselves and now there saying yeah...
What there doing is taking the baton from where religion left off.
They are very religious, they are very esoteric,
they are very mystical, there full of occultism.
There body language alone of this character is repulsive,
its to attract your subconscious towards what he is doing.
Yeah its called ''In its image.''
Yeah in ''Its'' image.
Its in our face every day if you look at advertisements
like this of which I have many but we can look at one.
''Connecting People'' sounds marvelous half of the people who work
for NOKIA think that's great that's there meme, they have dreams
about that, they have that on there T-shirts and on there walls
and they have mugs and goblets, ties and pins, number plates.
Not one of them thinking what does the word ''connecting'' imply?
What are connected?
There are allot of stuff connected around here, what is it?
Its not relating people, its ''connecting'' people look at this.
Its double speak.
You connect gadgets, you connect machines and you connect a bunch
of self murdered automatons, pseudo selves, they get connected.
There are many fallacies of scientism I will be dealing with a handful.
I have dealt with them in the Disciples of the Mysterium
article but working on a larger Thesis there.
A few we can only mention.
Human and Nature are Distinct Entities that's the Cartesian fallacy.
I'm here in my arm chair and there's this thing (Res extensa)
called the world, its out there somewhere I don't...
and I'm gonna analyze it, I'm in my arm chair with my reason, right.
That and me.
The big one: Nature and Man are Imperfect.
So fix the imperfections.
A less known but a very important one is: In the Future, Man Will Know Perfection.
That's how they smuggle in the collectivism because obviously
every scientist either consciously or non-consciously imagines
himself as a test tube passing on the baton, even an Einstein would
agree or will admit I'm only one person I cant live forever.
So its a given that in science that one scientist is somewhat anonymous.
You have this pop star celebrity type.
But mostly its anonymous scientists working in a chain
of command, passing on the work to others, right?
What that means is that no one individual has the whole truth we need the whole group.
And under that idea that we are moving towards
progress towards perfection but its a chain reaction.
But you cannot individually know perfection inside, (a
preposterous mystical nonsense they will say) but we
will know it collectively and through a continuum of
scientists who all focus on that goal and that light.
A much more philosophical and ultimately disastrous one to their lie.
The whole of science can be brought down by the Philosopher we touched
on earlier David Hume, the Scottish philosopher never to be mentioned
because his critic back in the 10th century still stands by the way and
has only been strengthened by the discoveries of the quantum scientists.
And that is that: Cause and affect there's no
connection between them scientifically provable at all.
It more deep and elaborate then that but we cant go into it.
What is called the causality problem.
Showing that the connections between a cause and affect are purely hypothetical
and that even though legions of scientists from Humes time have worked
over night in mathematics and geometry, astrophysics and whatever else to
try and find especially in the mathematical world to find that certainty.
The four greatest mathematicians that set there minds to do it
went insane, some committed suicide and the rest where locked up.
That's what happens when you try to find a back door into reality, because
what they could never understand is that there is no certainty in that way.
The life the world that you look at, the natural
world that you look at changes as you look at it.
Its a constant dance its a constant ballet, you
look you change, it changes from your looking.
Its a constant eb and flow.
A constant spontaneous immutable thing that can never have an Archimedean point.
So the certainty that they thought they were going
to find obviously didn't come and that caused a
raucous a massive meltdown from which arose Gaia
theory and quantum theory and so many other theories.
More fascinating obviously.
But here they are talking about the promises of complete
understanding, Collectivism, in the future we will know perfection...
With record rates of depression and suicide all around the world.
Whats the reality?
Its ludicrous.
Anthony Stephens in the ''The Two Million Year Old Self''
says: As educated members of western society, we share a
number of common assumptions: one of these is that we are
potentially capable of knowing everything that is knowable.
(I talked about this in one of the talks I did its up on my Unslaved
Youtube channel it was done in California a year ago I think where
I said: One life to live, infinite things to know, obviously there's
something wrong with that picture and it needs a radical rethink.
Because either you have to say I am a single individual who is incapable
of knowing everything that's the easy way out or you say no, no, no
just like the Taoists and others have said everything that is knowable
can be known but obviously not through a scientific or rational process.
You can divide man kind into the two, which one do you believe.
But it is a certainty that with one lifetime to live and infinite things to
know we don't have the physical time, it cant be done in time.) Now: We are
shaken out of this illusion only when we begin to push knowledge to its limits
and ask questions such as what is ''knowledge and how can we 'know'' anything?
What is ''knowledge and how can we ''know'' anything?
What existed before the universe came into being?
(Unanswerable) What is the essence of all creation?
Why does anything exist at all?
When we pose questions like this, the possibility
begins to dawn on us that there may be
things that lie beyond our capacity to grasp,
know or even imagine, let alone understand.
What he is talking about there we will begin to
look at more deeply in the solutions section.
I want you to remember this one because he is implying a kind of humility a kind
of littleness now when you say the word littleness it doesn't sound very good
but it is a kind of a Clint Eastwood a man must know his limitations kind of
thing and there's something very beautiful about it we will explore latter on.
Its a humility and a littleness but a grand and
brilliant littleness we will look at that latter on.
This section is vitally important to introduce something we just
touched on in the past but is central to my whole entire thesis.
People who want to take notes might want to say that this is the Thesis, we
will summarize them at the end but this is one of the most important ones.
We have been talking about the ancestral trauma and we have been trying to talk
about the etiology of the kind of evil and dysfunction we see in the world today.
We jumped over something monumentally important
which helps psychologists also, in normal
psychology most neurosis or pathology is tracked back to obviously anxiety, in fact
a you read anxiety being as Freud said the center of all neurosis but there often more
specific about it in daily life and they link most neurosis back to shame and guilt.
I don't talk about it earlier because it wasn't the place.
Guilt is the emotion that we feel or the mood that we experience when we have done a
physical, perceivable, observable misdemeanor
against somebody or something we feel guilt.
Shame is not the same thing, shame is the emotion that you feel when you
and only you feel that you have not lived up to your highest potentials.
In other words that you have lived the inauthentic life.
They are colored different.
When you go back and take into consideration the prehistoric so many
of the people within the scientific and psychoanalytic movement
have no interest whatsoever, its the first paragraph of my Disciples
of the Mysterium article, I make this point: These people
have never factored in any of the stuff that we're talking about
when we are talking about the prehistoric disaster and they
bloody well should do because one thing it will do is that it will
show you what the true etiology of neurosis and pathology is.
Its not to say shame and guilt are not involved, a person living an
inauthentic life of course they are going to be in shame of that.
A person does a physical misdemeanors of course
they are going to be in guilt about that.
But the real origins, the real seed of the
inverted rotten tree of life, of all pathology
goes further back to what I call the antipathy
to all nature and its born out of the trauma.
When nature erupted around our fore-bearers, nature that
was relatively speaking its not that other cataclysms
hadn't happened in the past but for long tracks of time
people grew to respect nature as we know our ancestors did.
But when the titanic upheavals happened obviously one of the after
effects of that was a great and deep suspicion of nature itself.
A breech had taken place.
One can even read it in the fall from the endemic
plane, that mother nature now had a dark
side that was terribly threatening because of
the horror and the cataclysm that had happened.
Its the same thing that happens when, people like myself who grew up in Belfast
they will tell you all about it, with these bomb scares you see these all the time.
Well that kind of trauma magnified many times
entered in and became a primal instinct it became a
primal drive within us, at the seat of our ego
consciousness a deep antipathy to nature itself.
Over and above that we still have an aesthetic appreciation a fascination a
biological interest in animals that's all inter-laid on top of something.
In our mythologies the flood myth and all of these other myths, there's
allot of this other pathology involved right, of course its non conscious.
But it is now to be considered, now it should be
considered the root of all psychological derangement.
Why are we talking about this in this section on scientism and technology
because technology and science is one of the main symptoms of that pathology.
You couldn't have technology and science as we know it today being as we know it so
ecocidal and supe-rational and so anti-human if this antipathy to nature didn't exist.
That's why the two are so divided or as there have been many
scientists who have blended them together we know there names.
Also Globalism is a symptom of it.
Globalism, to live inside the hive, to live inside
an incarcerated Blake 7 hideous air-conditioned
dome, glass buildings, armor plated, glass to
keep you away from nature its all rooted in it.
And it was the calamity of the old world order that changed us we felt like we
where cast out of the garden and we where infected with a deep, I mean a deep, non
conscious suspicion towards nature, and for those who are already getting what I am
saying when you see that nature and the self are one, look what the implication is.
Infection with the suspicion towards nature is
infection with the suspicion towards oneself.
Another layer of pathology and we will talk about that in the solutions
section because we will know what to do how to unravel this knot because
unless this knot is unraveled, this pathology, solving the shame guilt
number, will help you but its not going to radically change civilization.
Its just moving the furniture around.
To fix the civilization we must go much deeper.
But this is the fall the mythology of the fall is connected to this.
The fall away from nature.
Remember when I said you can junk away the memory but
not the effects, the effects are large, hideous, big.
Even so many movies deal with this by the way all this Poseidon
adventure Charleston Heston stuff even movies like the
fountain you will see this image in the Conan the Barbarian every
movie you look at that's worth its salt you will see this.
Remember the movie the Lord of The Rings and the elves how they never lost the
connection, I'm saying the movie I mean the book of course, the man knew what he was
talking about, about how our societies are divided with those with a deep antipathy
to nature and those who are one with it still the very few, the last of the line.
Max Frish says Yeah: Technology...
the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it.
In a nutshell.
The divorce from nature is ultimately the divorce
from self, we are alienated from both of them.
And we become more mechanical in our thought as a result.
In a great article and I believe its in the reality
sandwich website Catlin McGrory says: A new
study funded by the NIH and the National Institute
of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, involved
subjects having their brains hooked up to a computer displaying two images, and through
thought-control, the subjects were able to make the
computer display one image and discard the other.
The technologizing of consciousness.
How to fuse the man and the machine together.
Constant research on that.
E.F Schumacher says: The system of nature, of which man is a part,
tends to be self-balancing, self-adjusting, self-cleansing.
Not so with technology.
The technical term for it is ''negetropia '' nature
isnt plugged in but there it is, there is the
energy, the sun is burning, the stars are burning,
the leaves are growing but there's no socket.
As well as our bodies, they grow and so on they call it negetropia, self sustaining.
What I am trying to emphasize is can you please try and go
into the mind, try to think like Sherlock Holmes said think
in the terms of the criminal can you imagine being offended
and deeply, deeply threatened by the negetropia around you?
Can you be threatened by the fact that you can't find the
source of the energy and the power and that you rival it.
And then in some Dr.
Frankensteinian way your seeking all the time for that plug
well that is what the scientism is all about: rivalry.
Born out of what we are talking about.
It's overwhelmingly obsessive.
Remember when we talked about the Umwelt you can only adjust to it?
Well the scientist is not merely trying to adjust to it is he?
He is desperately trying to control it.
But how does he control it destructively.
...our attitude to the world '' outside us is largely hostile.
We are forever ''conquering'' nature, space, mountains, deserts, bacteria, and
insects instead of learning to cooperate with them in a harm onious order.
In America the great symbols of this conquest are the
bulldozer and the rocket - the instrument that betters the
hills into flat tracts for little boxes made of ticky-tacky
and the great *** projectile that blasts the sky.
The big game hunter, big Tarzan.
He says: There is nothing more satisfactory than the
complete flop of a running elephant shot in the brain.
Its a pity the elephant doesn't have that gun,
remember Crocodile Dundee with the Kangaroo.
How does he feel when he is flopping around with a bullet in his brain.
But this *** antipathy is on the microscopic level and on a higher level as well.
Rudolf Bahro says Exactly a hundred years ago, the rate of dying
out of biological species began to increase exponentially, as a
result of which in the mid-1980's a species vanished every day, and
by the year 2000 this will have increased to a species every hour.
We have monopolized the earth for our species alone.
Talk about antipathy to nature.
Ken Wilber says: we are at present exterminating
approximately one hundred species a day...
we are destroying the world's tropical forests
at the rate of one football field per second.
The planet, indeed, is headed for disaster, and it is now possible, for the
first time in human history, that owing entirely to man-made circumstances, not
one of us will survive to tell the tale, if the Earth is indeed our body and
blood, then in destroying it we are committing a slow and gruesome suicide.
How can that be explained if you do not have antipathy to nature where
you are responding apparently to earths violence against us, do you see?
Now he is wrong on one point.
Nature isn't going anywhere no matter how destructive it
is that you do on this planet nature is barely affected.
It is man that is going to become instinct.
Now: Our present environmental crisis is due primarily to a fractured worldview, that
drastically separates mind and body, subject
and object, culture and nature, thoughts and
things, values and facts, spirit and matter, human and nonhuman; a worldview that is
dualistic, mechanistic, atomistic, anthropocentric, and pathologically hierarchical...
a broken worldview that alienates men and women from the intricate web of patterns
and relationships that constitute the very nature of life and Earth and cosmos.
The thing is people have described that in umpteen books but they never explain why.
Why do we do it?
Paul Shepard in the book A Kind of Madness said: The change
to a more hostile stance toward nature began between five
and ten thousand years ago and became more destructive and
less accountable with the progress of civilization...
In hindsight this change has been explained in terms
of necessity or as the decline of ancient gods.
But more likely it was irrational...
and unconscious, a kind of failure in some fundamental dimension of human existence...
a kind of madness.
So some people are, touching upon it, questioning what it is.
Theodor Roszak: The Atmospheric Sciences Research Center of Scotia, New York,
reported in December 1969 that there was no longer a breath of uncontaminated
air to be found anywhere in the North American hemisphere and predicted the
universal use of artificial respirators throughout America within two decades.
Thor Heyerdahl, sailing the Atlantic on the RA II expedition in 1970,
reported finding not one oil free stretch of water during the crossing.
James Bell reports: The World Conservation Union
(IUCN), the International Botanical Congress and a
majority of the world's biologists believe that a
global ''mass extinction'' already is underway.
As a direct result of human activity...
up to one-fifth of all living species - mostly in the
tropics are expected to disappear within 30 years.
''The speed at which the species are being lost is much faster
than any we've seen in the past - including those related
to meteor collisions'' university of Tennessee biodiversity
expert Daniel Simberloff told the Washington Post...
A 1998 Harris poll of the 5,000 members of the
American Institute of Biological Sciences
found 70 percent believed that what has been
termed 'The Sixth Extinction'' is now underway.
Right?
Inner violence, inner dysfunction and mutilation obviously will manifest externally.
So whats the alternative?
Martin Heidegger was one of the most extreme opponents of this scientism
and the technologizing along with Pontif $ His replacement
for it, the relationship we should be having with nature he referred
to it as Sorge $ just basically translated as care.
And its born out of the idea that of course you understand that there is no division
between you and nature Eigenwelt itself is a product of the Umwelt, nature.
And primarily as we will see in the solutions the
antipathy to nature absolutely must be healed
meaning that each individual must go out and do
something about it and hopefully we can go into that.
Out of this nonsense not just scientism but you've got this perversity of asceticism.
Its bloody infantile: oh nature, evil right got to transcend it.
Give me a technique and a guru.
Strangling in our efforts to be free.
Agents in our own annihilation.
Its almost comedic if it wasn't so bloody sad right.
But the point is that information isn't obviously knowledge or wisdom.
We talked about the fact that there is a massive difference between the need to gain
knowledge, and to have knowledge and the
relationship that you have to knowledge or wisdom.
First of all as we said a computer cannot function according to its own it doesn't turn
itself on and off and it cant change and do
different from it has been programmed to do.
Whereas a human being can do that all the time.
But the thing is the programmed human being
wont be able to do that, he will not be able
to choose whether or not he can turn himself off, on or be able to make those choices.
Its not about this rhetoric that they are making the
computer more like the human being that's double speak.
The only interest they have is making the human being more machine-like.
That's been going on from the time of John D.
onwards its part of a very serious pact.
An unhealthy society is one which creates mutual hostility,
distrust, which transforms man into an instrument of use and
exploitation for others, which deprives him of sense of self,
except inasmuch as he submits to others or becomes an automaton.
Lewis Mumford says that: By his very success in inventing
labor saving devices modern man has manufactured
an abyss of boredom that only the privileged classes
of earlier civilizations have ever fathomed.
Erich Fromm says that: Emile Durkheim (sociologist)
called this phenomenon 'anomie' and found
that it was the main cause of suicide which had
been increasing with growth of industrialization.
He referred by anomie to the destruction of all traditional
social bonds, due to the fact that all truly collective
organization had become secondary to the state and that
all genuine social social life had been annihilated.
He believed that people living in the modern political
state are 'a disorganized dust of individuals'.
That's the reality that Collectivism is all this Talismatic nonsense.
But those pieces of dust feel like a stone if they galvanize together don't they.
And all this guy Durkheim is saying is that the
dehumanizing process which is age old has been successful.
The one thing Susan Sontag said that I do agree with is that: Reality
has come to seem more and more like what we are shown by cameras.
Well its not reality anymore then is it?
Many people have asked me about that in my work on
symbolism and my answer partly has been the same.
We have been gutted and rapped of our archetypal
reservoir so they give it back all that
welter of ***, symbolic, the color, the
occult symbolism you know all that symbolism.
Its basically a feeding to us of what we have been *** from within.
That's why we are basically attracted to it.
Its just not a reality anymore its a virtual reality.
That media stuff is to offset total psychological meltdown because they
know better then anyone that you can only *** the consciousness of the
people to a certain degree you cant do it completely then you will have
a pathological creature on your hands hence the bread and circuses.
Part of technology isn't it?
Technology is doing this and that's why it has the power to
entrain us because we are seeing in it in these movies these
dramas in these scenarios and the symbolism that is being
used it is deeply enigmatic deeply attractive to us, right?
Now: ...the whole force of urban-industrialism upon our tastes is to
convince us that artificiality is not only inevitable, but better.
Says Theodore Roszak.
Researchers on behalf of the independent Television Commission in
the UK and in the United States and the Netherlands are developing
immersive television: a new generation television to give the
viewer a sense of actually 'being there' in the depicted scene.
Right the TV has become your reality.
Remember I have talked about the kids especially feel guilty about repressing the
inner aggression and anger that is nine times out of ten a perfectly healthy feeling.
Look what is happening with them trying to process it.
You are not allowed to speak it you are not allowed
to process it, not allowed to even think about it.
But you go out and exterminate as many enemies as
you want, *** as many women as you want virtually.
16 And many of these games the enemy and the
rival is a secret society the Illuminati are
even an adversary or some kind of secret society beings and the secret cabals right.
Look how bad it works.
There even telling the kids yeah we're your enemy.
Fight us virtually all you want.
Commit genocide twenty times a day if you feel like it, its hours of fun.
And this technology you see one of the other
attractive things to it is that it does permit you by
means of the gadgetry and so on, it permits you to
imagine yourself as the highest being in creation.
Everything is lesser than you.
In the Tarot cards we have the hermit, he is the
technician that stands at the top of his mountain.
He is actually in a very weak position he looks down and he has a litle
light, a little lamp that's the mental light that's why its held at
the top of a staff representing the spine and the lantern at the top
is the cerebral ego light and in the Aleister Crowley deck it barely
pierces the darkness its a very ineffectual light it doesn't shine
out natures mysteries it just shines it up a little bit but that's
sufficient to the technician who wishes to probe from his Archimedean
point the mysteries of reality with his reason but he is in the dark.
But you don't need to vent your aggression keep on repressing it, you will have this
big Cheshire grin, ascend to happiness and have this big Cheshire grin on your face.
Your a pseudo self so we can sell you a pseudo peace, a pseudo
satisfaction and the existentially dead person accepts it.
You can drink it in a bottle.
When we where coming through the airports in Australia there was this sign
on the wall which said: The world belongs to those who see its potential.
We had to hustle so we couldn't take a photograph
of it and so had to keep moving right.
The world belongs to those who see its potential, not
the world belongs to those who see there own potential.
That's scientism for you.
And the malls are like temples you know here's one
in Manchester, huge like the palace of Versailles or
whatever, Aztec temples over here and the pizza pots
are like some alter of sacrifice from the ah...
(laughing) I had to take a *** and I went into the toilet.
Its like a temple of Dendera $ your taking a ***
you have Isis looking down at you, very disconcerting.
Jerry Mander says: Our environment itself is a
manifestation of a mental process of other human.
Of all species of the planet, and all cultures of
the human species, we twentieth-century Americans
have become the first in history to live
predominately inside projections of our own minds.
And the technical term for that was coined by the French
philosopher Jean Baudrillard 'simulacra'' the man who
lives in a plastic world and ends up becoming just as
plastic and artificial as the world he designs for himself.
Its also known as hyperreality.
Simple things like talking to people through a gadget is known as a hyperreality.
You talking about a sitcom or a reality show as they're your
family or you are involved in the drama is a form of hyperreality
is a form of hyperreality, there's many versions of it
Disney land is a hyperreality, Casinos are a hyperreality.
These big extopias, these big ah incredible...
Well say your in Dubai in one of those yaut but they have a
screen showing the yaut that you are on, that is a hyperreality.
And when you go into it the trouble is when you
go into the hyperreality you cant remember what
is the real reality because the hyperreality
mimics the so called official reality or real
reality so precisely that in the end you are
befuddle, you are lost in the maze, you cant tell
what's the hyperreality and what's the real reality
and that's what's happening to the kids now.
In fact even the simple act of being a show on TV this is being done now.
So you poor suckers watching this now on camera in
five, ten fifteen years latter its a hyperreality!
It isn't now but you thought it was.
Every time you sit and watch a TV show and we think that
its in real time but its not if its not in real time.
So: Hyperreality is used in semiotics and post modern
philosophy to describe a hypothetical inability of
consciousness to distinguish reality from fantasy,
especially in technologically advanced post modern cultures.
Hyperreality is a means to characterize the way
consciousness defines what is actually ''real'' in a
world where a multitude of media can radically shape
and filter an original event or experience...
Jean Baudrillard in particular suggests that the world we live in has been
replaced by a copy world, where we seek simulated stimuli and nothing more.
Many movies, the Arnold Swatchnedger $ movie where he goes to Mars??
Total Recall.
That plays on this and many others as well, the Matrix yeah.
Connecting people, ''Friends'' I've got lots of friends.
There my friends now!
Some *** emails me he is a friend.
I thought friend meant something else I guess I was completely wrong.
From the dawn of civilisation onwards crowds
have always undergone the influence of illusion.
It is to the creators of illusions that they have raised more
temples, statues, and altars than to any other class of men.
Says Gustav Le Bon Erich Fromm says that: What has
happened in modern industrial society is that
traditions and common values, and genuine social
personal ties with others, have largely disappeared.
The modern mass man is isolated and lonely, even
though he is part of a crowd he has no convictions
which he could share with others, only slogans and
ideologies he gets from the communications media.
In other words the immersion has been successful.
Fromm says: In the cybernetic age, the individual
becomes increasingly subject to manipulation.
His work, his consumption, and his leisure are manipulated by advertising,
by ideologies, by what Skinner calls ''positive reinforcements.''
(You want to become a machine?
You will be treated as one) The individual loses his active, responsible role
in the social process, he becomes completely ''adjusted'' and learns that any
behaviour, act, thought, or feeling which does not fit into the general scheme
puts him at a severe disadvantage, in fact he is what he is supposed to be.
There's a couple more in this section here.
Fromm is saying that: Another feature of the cybernetic
man - his tendency to behave in a routinised, stereotyped
and unspontaneous manner - is to be found in a more drastic
form in many schizophrenic obsessional stereotypes.
So we are already starting off with a kind of schizophrenia they are making it worse.
I have even mentioned many times that a whole culture through
physical health these weight machines the gadgetry is so
mechanical for a purpose to give you this routinised idea
of your own body a very mechanical armoured idea of health.
So as I said before we're half way there, our domestic roles we're so immersed in them.
We are hurrying to our graves as if we are eager to get to them.
And then we get a break, with a life of servitude
to the clock, we all are like hail the masters.
For the recreation, we sacrifice vocation and
we have accepted a little bit of recreation.
We sell our soles for it to brake the monotony.
And that recreation is approved as well.
Jerry Mander says: It has been only two generations since artificial light
became so wide spread that we moved into artificially lighted environments.
Now most of the light we ingest through our skin and eyes is artificial.
We are starved for some natural light spectra and
we have overdosed on those spectra that come from
artificial light, incandescent, fluorescent,
mercury, vapour, sodium, television, and others...
Indeed, about 90% of the total emission of an incandescent lamp lies in the infra-red.
The Global village will be even worse.
You know?
I'm waiting for the day when they are going to patent the rain.
In Australia if it rains they say its got a stamp on it ''Ausie Rain''
''Hands off'' ...for an ecopsychology, nothing serves as a more telling
symptom of our collective state of our soul than this urban habitat,
which has balanced on the edge of psychopathology since its beginning...
The industrial city might be seen as the collective
''body armour'' of our culture, a pathological
effort to distance us from close contact with
the natural continuum from which we evolve.
And we want it because each person thats infected with that antipathy to nature,
albeit it non conscious, is in some sense leaning towards this and may have no choice.
Eric From brilliantly says that: Death is no longer
symbolically expressed by unpleasant-smelling faeces or
corpses, (you know the Necrophilia) its symbols (of
the Necrophilia) are now clean, shinning machines...
(We are in one) And the reality behind this
antiseptic façade becomes increasingly visible.
Man, in the name of progress, is transforming the
world into a sticking and poisonous place...
He pollutes the air, the water, the soil, the animals #NAME?
will still be liveable within a hundred years from now.
One of the other terms as we said is govern-mentality.
We will look at ''Paternalism'' that's another word to look up,
''Corporotocracy'' and in the solutions section we will look at another
classic one a very important word ''Adultism'' Another one of the
boss hogs and senior brain child's behind all of this nonsense Dr.
Hose Del Gado psychopath extrodenair.
We need a program of psycho-surgery for political control of our society.
The purpose is physical control of the mind.
Everyone who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated...
The individual may think that the most important reality is his
own existence, but this is only his personal point of view.
(So much for your personal individuality) This lacks historical perspective.
Man does not have the right to develop his own mind.
This kind of liberal orientation has great appeal.
We must electronically control the brain.
Someday armies and generals will be controlled by electric stimulation of the brain.
Eric From says: ...behaviourist theory does not interest itself in
the subjective forces which drive man to behave in a certain way;
it is not concerned with what he feels, but only in the way he
behaves and in the social conditioning that shapes his behaviour.
And why not?
We are all on strings, we remain infantile.
They are almost right!
Thomas Hobbs an important person to know, who
was an architect of some of this thinking.
Human beings are physical objects, (This is the Hobsian
point of view) according to sophisticated machines
all of whose functions and activities can be
described and explained in purely mechanistic terms.
Even thought itself, therefore, must be understood as an
instance of the physical operation of the human body.
(Right the physicalist) Sensation, for example, involves a series
of mechanical processes operating within the human nervous system,
by means of which the sensible features of material things produce
ideas in the brains of the human beings who perceive them.
I mean its beyond belief.
Describing a human being in terms of a machine.
The high priests of physicalism.
And then this great intellect goes on to say that: The state of peace among men
living side by side is not a natural state; the natural state is one of war.
Remember when we where talking about the pathology
of people in a total state of psychic deremption?
And as I said everything they touch turns to discords, well this priceless
piece of wisdom that this person has just given us is his consciousness.
How could a man who is at peace within make a statement like that?
Thomas Hobbes used the favoured technique of the time, pure reason, to try to deduce
the origins of the social and political structures that held the world together.
He made the case that in a state of nature man was
governed by nothing but his own appetites and
aversions and was free to do anything to get what
he wanted, including murdering his neighbour.
In short, humanity lived in a benighted state of war.
For humankind to escape from the homicidal pursuit of self-interest that was our
natural inclination, social regulation had to be imposed from on high by a sovereign.
You think that was written in the 70's we have the real thing walking around today.
Daniel C.
Dennett so called professor The individual cells that compose
you are alive, but we now understand life well enough to
appreciate that each cell is a mindless mechanism, a largely
autonomous micro-robot, no more conscious than a yeast cell...
Until fairly recently, this idea of a rather magical extra ingredient was the only
candidate for an explanation of consciousness that even seemed to make sense.
For many people, this idea (dualism) is still
the only vision of consciousness that makes any
sense to them, 17 but there is now widespread
agreement among scientists and philosophers
that dualism is - must be - simply false: we
are each made of mindless robots and nothing
else, (He is speaking about himself) no non-physical, non robotic ingredients at all.
These are the masters of deception, the paid high priests of the Global Village.
They will go to any lengths you see, to do this.
As I said, the machines.
Cybernetic Man is so alienated that he experiences
his body as an instrument for success.
(If you are against nature you are against the
self) His body now must look youthful and
healthy, it is expressed narcissisticaly as a
most precious asset on the personality market.
And the media is constantly selling this mechanistic ideology.
Remember ''Human rather than being'' and we fall for it.
And as I say give them a chance...
They are going to sell us the ageing idea.
Yeah well what comes with that?
Immortality?
Do you realise that that is completely unsustainable?
If an emotional being was to live maybe more than
a hundred years and was immortal they would die.
Because your emotions don't allow you to live very long.
Because a conscious is painful and an immortal
man like they show in the ''Day the Earth Stood
Still'' or whatever could not live that long
with the pain and suffering of really existing.
Because the pain of a conscious, you know the Highlander movies, seeing the deaths and
the world even the philosophical the angst
that you see is crushing to the human spirit.
You couldn't live much longer.
When there selling you an idea of immortality they're selling it to a non-human
as we said in the beginning a human that doesn't exist, purely human no being.
A conscienceless being is the only one that can be a god or an immortal.
PART FIVE Solutions continued We have been
examining the architecture tyranny, the anatomy
of tyranny and now we switch gears and start to look more at the anatomy of selfhood.
Because that is ultimately what we want to return to.
Everything else is a subset of that, other change is a subset of that.
When the psyche was split and the ego was born it was born
out of a necessity, the necessity to alleviate the trauma.
Its classic.
Split the mind, box it off lock it up put it in the attic and carry on.
That was the remedy at the time, but as any psychologist knows that
schizophrenia is not necessarily delusion to the problem is it?
You know we have made ourselves sicker.
We where sick we wanted to get away from it and we made
ourselves even sicker in the process to try and find healing.
But its not true healing.
Never to forget also that when I talk about trauma, we are all individually
suffering from it, it was yesterday it was such a short time ago.
And so the human psyche is still reeling from the shock.
But we start by shifting gears.
I want to introduce a word that to me, other than know thy self that I think
is the greatest words ever written and if you understand the depth of
what they mean you can dispense of most scriptures of the world and in fact
the scriptures are great because they contain that very sentiment in them.
But to me one of the greatest words in human language is imagination.
And perhaps we don't fully understand what is meant by that term.
Imagination basically describes the landscape,
which is the Eigenwelt so all the processes
in totality that go on within and we can look at them in more detail in a minute.
Imagination is basically that kaleidoscope
every bodies internal landscape is different.
Some have a wintery, some have a solar, you know its
all different, no two people have the same inner
landscape by any means, even thought we have talked
about the forces that come in and make it so.
Imagination is in everyone.
Even psychopaths have it.
Ted Bundy had it.
No matter how destructive you are, in fact one
could say they have got a bit too much of it too.
There imagination is a bit out of control in fact.
The point being that imagination is in everyone.
There is nothing you can do to stop it.
Everybody fantasizes, everybody has wish fulfilment and a lot of us have a creative
or spiritual drive as well so its there even in the most destructive of people.
Its a miraculous thing and its rarely marvelled and its rarely cherished.
But the thing is that just as an external landscape can be beautiful, as they are, or
ugly as the case may be, so can the inner landscape be either beautiful or very ugly.
Now the properties of imagination are of course very miraculous.
A stone doesn't sit thinking about what its like to be a human being, but
you, a man or a woman can contemplate or imagine what its like to be a stone.
You can imagine riding a horse even if you have never rode on one.
You can imagine what its like to go to the crusades
or to deep sea dive or to fly into the stars.
It allows you to project your consciousness into the future even.
Helping you to attain those goals we spoke of earlier on.
Neitche #&39; pointed out see we don't create
our own thoughts they come to us out of the abyss.
You know how God created the universe out of nothing?
Thoughts are created all day out of nothing.
That's all he said, its almost presumptuous to say I think.
You are sort of taking the credit for something that something
that happens spontaneously, there's another action going on.
And so in other words your imagination is when the universe is speaking to you.
People speak to you from the outside, the universe
communicates to you through the imagination body.
The body being the receiver.
The church father Origen said: You yourself are another little
world and have within you the sun and the moon and also the stars.
The English poet William Blake said: In your own ***
you bare your Heaven and Earth; and all you behold,
tho' it appears without, it is within, in your imagination
of which this world of mortality is but a shadow.
He is not like some eastern mystics saying than don't pay any
attention to this shadowy lower world he doesn't mean that at all.
He said that in contrast to that which you can create within.
The external world and what other people put together
and what other people create is of a lesser level.
He goes on to say that: The Eternal Body of Man is the Imagination.
(So that which is eternal within you is the imagination) ...the imagination rises from
the mind's abyss and seeks more expanded senses than the five making up that abyss.
If I had to say well I want to find out what its like to ride a horse.
If you physically have to go and find one and bring it in
here, I've got to get on it here learn abit and then ride it.
It takes time.
You have to bring the horse across a certain distance so time,
distance, space and speed are all involved in a physical act.
In here its out of time its happening instantaneously
I'm already doing it as soon as you think of it.
And the imagination says well I can think of riding pegasus a white
horse with wings across the sky a creature that doesn't even exist.
We have already transcended the limitations of time through the imagination.
But Blake was aware as others are aware that opening the
doors of perception well of people don't want to do that.
He understood also that there is a reason why people didn't want to do that.
Why would the toxic person open the doors to something
that's going to make him feel even more fowl and filthy.
They don't want to open the door or the portal
to the universal intelligence because they
might in fact suffer considerable mental derangement and breakdown from that activity.
D.W Winnicott the psychologist said: Can you see the one essential
way in which science and intuition contrast with each other?
True intuition can reach to a truth in a flash...
whereas in science the whole truth is never reached.
So the one quality is like what we spoke of, in one short
life with everything to know you either give up knowing
everything or you try something else a completely different
quantum spontaneous holographic holotropic download system.
Or even perhaps what Socrates said there is no learning there
is no learning its all remembrance, you already are it.
Sigmund Freud said: The decisive rules of logic don't apply in
the unconscious; we could call it the Empire of the illogical.
It doesn't run along the same lines that's why science cannot ever fathom it.
Robert Temple says: The beginning of the concept of dissociation are commonly
attributed to Pierre Janet in 1889 ...Janet's interpretation is that systems of ideas
are split off from the major personality and exist as a subordinate personality
unconscious but capable of becoming represented in consciousness through hypnosis.
Janet was the first to introduce the term subconscious to refer to a level of
cognitive functioning out of awareness that could on occasion become conscious.
This non conscious realm is the habitat, the abode
of the imperial self we where talking about.
Its partly a wasteland into which the emperial self has been thrown.
Or alternatively it is from that place that the imperial place speaks.
It speaks from that realm.
In 1890 the psychologist Dr Morton Prince remarked...
on the possibility of there being normally in all of us a lower stratum of
consciousness which is alive to everything about us, while our upper minds are busy.
Remember the ego is facing outwards into the world.
And by the way the vast majority of Sigmund Freuds theories
on the conscious and the unconscious and its dynamics, the
libido, the will to power and all these concepts are all
prefigured in several philosophers you know the name of.
But it was never recognised.
Freud's work was an enormous work was an enormous debt first of all to Arthur
Schopenheur $ where almost every major Freudian concept is in Schopenheur
$ and Freud read Schpenhower $ and secondly Friedrich Nietche
$ and I don't mean to a small degree I mean to a very very astounding degree.
That's a side note.
Now Heraclitus on the unconscious said: You could not reach the ends
of the psyche though you went the whole way; so deep is its nature.
So your compasses and pertractors and meters and psychotherapies...
All of this is merely surface.
Freud himself said: Nothing can be brought to an end
in the unconscious, nothing is past or forgotten.
He is talking about the ancestral wisdom reservoir which contains as I said the
scars and the wreckage and ruin but also something vastly infinite than that.
The whole reservoir of the worlds experience.
What kind of experience?
We will talk about in a minute.
The greatest psychologist of that era.
A man whose genius is hard to even put into words George Grodec
$ again largely unknown because of the work that he did.
He was a pioneer of psychoanalysis and you should look up his name and study
him because this man was absolutely incredible when it came to healing.
Grodec says from his own book the ''Book of the it'' which
just means the book of the subconscious the book of the Id...
:It must not be forgotten that the brain, and
therefore the ego, is itself created by the It...
Long before the brain comes into existence, the it of man
(right the it is the unconscious, the Id) of man is already
active and ''thinking'' without the brain, since it must first
construct the brain before it can use it to think with.
This is a fundamental point and one we are inclined to ignore or forget.
In the assumption that one thinks only with the
brain is to be found the origin also of many
valuable discoveries and inventions, much that
adorns life and much that makes it ugly...
(Positioning the brain as the center, the nucleus, a big
mistake) Over and against the It there stands the ego...
(that's the conscious mind) the I, which I take to be merely the tool of
the It but which we are forced by nature to regard as the Its master.
Just makes a lot of noise as we said, its waving saying over here I'm the boss.
- Actually your just the door keeper.
The German philosopher Leibniz said: It is a great source of error to believe
that there is no perception in the soul besides those of which it is conscious.
So the unconscious concept goes way back.
Theodore Roszak says that: The ID is that very proto-human psychic core that our
evolution has spent millions of years molding to fit the planetary environment.
Its seeming unruliness deserves a deeper understanding, if
only because it grows from a long evolutionary history.
In the course of that history its dominant characteristics
must have been selected for some good reason.
He is just saying that the thing is absolutely ancient.
The ego is new subjectivity is new, pathology is new, but we house an
ancestral intelligence that is unmined, untapped except by the few geniuses.
Roszak goes on to say ...the Id conserves from its log maturing process...
our treasury of ecological intelligence.
Its intractability stems from its deeply ingrained resistance to all social
forms that endanger the harmony of the human and natural; its untamed
''selfishness'' represents a bond between psyche and cosmos who's
distant origins reach back to the initial conditions of the Big ***...
So the resistance you know of the unconscious of being
changed or chained because it has its own agenda.
Yeah, you cant invite an angel into a bird box.
Just as there is a ''wisdom of the body'' which often has a better sense
of health than medical science, so too there may be a ''wisdom of the id''
that knows what sanity is better than any school of psychiatry whose standard
of normality is essentially a defense of misconceived social necessity.
Robert Temple says: Research has shown that even
under deep hypnosis, part of the mind remains aware.
(Deep hypnosis I don't know if most people even understand what that means.
They have a grade, and this grade is very
interesting because there's only some suggestible
types that can go into this deep form of hypnosis
but for years and years they studied them.)
Hypnotists have loosely referred to this deep,
subtle field of awareness as (guess what!?)
the ''Self'' Oh wait, wait, wait I thought that
there was no such thing as the self or an I.
You meet the average commoner gardener skeptic saying
'That's all a bunch of crap!'' Well too bad the evidence
has come in from here, do you know who these people are
SRI Stanford Research Institute and there related orgs.
Millions of dollars put into this and they all finally come up with
''Well, oh I don't really want to admit this but ah I guess we better...
The self exists and its not a social construct, in fact it resists all forms
of exterior control'' The term that they use for it is the hidden observer.
When these people are put back into these hypnotic
trances they know, they can sense, they can hear...
Its not physical of course its very remote its
very intuitive but they can hear the voice of the
therapist to a certain point and then they go
deeper until that reality completely cuts off.
And that's quite deep, that's very very deep, then they sense themselves.
Even under a state of hypnosis and then they sense the other.
After a long period of time, they came up with the term the hidden observer.
Its nothing more then the self.
As for the deep self, presumed to be identical with Hilgard's hidden observer standing
partialy outside of time, there is a great deal of evidence for this phenomenon.
Well ***, I guess they just forgot to tell us that in school huh.
A bit of an over site.
Its forgivable.
Bashing you over the head with the Bible and everything
else but they just forgot to tell you you are it!
The fullest account of it is in the remarkable book Divided
Consciousness by one of America's most noted psychologists.
Professor Ernest Hilgard...
In his book, Hilgard points out that the very word ''profound'' comes
from the Latin pro fundus, meaning ''near the bottom'' Near the bottom?
Well the bottom, what have the Christians done to up and down and bottom and up high.
Near the bottom is, ''Oh...''
That's all Dantes inferno, bella gosi ' and all that.
Yeah.
Now we find out the abode of the self is down
below as so many myths and legends had said.
Graig D Jacobs, another one of these insiders who is forced
by the way you can really see this when you read the book.
Good as it is in parts.
They have got no choice left it not like these people are saying these
things because they want to, its because they bloody well have to!
Because the other paradigm has run a ground badly.
Its been shot full of holes.
So Graig D Jacobs calls it the ancestral mind.
...the ancestral mind...
arose long before logic or language appeared, and
because it came online first, it has maintained
its ability to operate as a separate system, quite independent from the Thinking Mind.
The AM (ancestral mind) learned to communicate emotional information intuitively,
non verbally, and non consciously over the course of millions of years, (pity
his forebears and forefathers at university didn't admit this) and much of the
emotional communication between people today is still nonverbal and unconscious.
...it was the work of neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux...
that provided the physiological evidence for the key role
played by the unconscious processing in our emotional life...
his research not only confirmed the functioning of the
Ancestral Mind, quite apart from the Thinking Mind, but
also demonstrated that the brain itself gives priority
to unconscious messages from this older part of us.
Remember how we earlier said that a vast majority of the people
in the world for very clear reasons to them don't want any
contact with that realm, that's why we are all living out here
entangled in the domestic manusha, well Yung explains why.
Yung says: We know that the mask of the unconscious is
not rigid - it reflects the face we turn toward it.
Hostility lends it a threatening aspect, friendliness softens its features.
There you are.
Its specular, its specular, its purely magical.
If you approach it with false curiosity, fear, anxiety
anger, aggressiveness, evil intent you will meet demons.
And they do.
If you turn the other face towards it of confidence, love,
understanding and fearlessness you meet your angels.
But that is a wall.
That is Chopper Reed ' that is the place of the final frontier.
To cross over there you will stand on the ground
that will morph under your feet into what you are.
Right.
Say Bach ' met himself and wept that he had been duped and so it is with us.
The face we meet of God is our projection of ourselves.
So if you go in there with the wrong intent watch out.
And that is why that realm is closed off to the vast majority of people in this world.
Because this one statement is absolutely monumental.
Its one of the greatest statements ever that anybody could make because
it throws all these lies about the uncincious and the soul into the dirt.
That thing is mercurial in every sense of the word.
Jung says it: People will do anything, no matter
how absurd, to stop from facing their souls.
Then I have a question about those people.
And we will be exploring exactly that kind of person
in the Age of Manipulation 3 and Psychic Vampirism.
Nietche says look: Why does man not see things as they are?
- because he is himself standing in the way: he conceals things.
The surrealist artist Magrit ' said that everything we
want to look at conceals something else we want to look at.
Again talking about the unusualness of perception.
But what is Nietche talking about?
He is talking about the social persona, right, that's what stands in the way.
The pseudo self, the counterfeit self is standing
in the way with a direct relationship with things.
Back to the main theme because this is the key to freedom, how to unlock this antipathy
to nature which has caused so much pain, destruction and aggression in the world.
Again as we say it came from the prehistoric trauma.
Not only does this concept allow us to improve upon those psychological theories as we
said instead of shaman guilt we can track this whole thing back to antipathy to nature.
But as I alluded to before it goes much deeper than antipathy to nature
given that we finaly click we twig it that self and nature are one.
So its a Uroboris the antipathy to nature is ultimately as you just heard they all
just talked about the mind how the mind was fashioned over millions of years by what?
Nature.
It is nature.
The body is obviously nature.
We didn't create it.
So in this antipathy that yes ostensibly technically is externalized to nature itself.
It is ultimately reflected in our relationship to
ourselves it is reciprocal its a feed back loop.
And that is a certainty its not negotiable.
That antipathy towards nature is antipathy towards the self and this is the fall.
This is the true fall.
The fall from nature.
Rollo May says that: Self implies world and world self, there is neither
without the other, and each is understandable only in terms of the other.
The German rationalist philosopher Friedrich Schelling said
it in a fantastic way, he said: Nature is visible Spirit.
Spirit is invisible Nature.
- Friedrich Schelling.
One could say in New Age terminology: Nature around you is your Merkaba, your aura.
Everyone is talking about auras, well your aura is the
whole universe of which you are always at the center.
Every single human being occupies the center of the universe by the way.
The native American Indians understood this with
there medicine wheel and it happens to be a fact.
Obviously the trauma that started all of this, including all
the genetic interference, is many thousands of years ago.
Whether it was 13500 or 50000 it is really irrelevant isn't it.
So we cant physically in some sort of Dr.
Who scenario go back physically to that place and undo the knot.
That's fiction.
And as a matter of fact you don't even have to.
There is other ways to collapse time.
Remember that thing we started off with?
The imagination.
Now you are going to find out how important it is and why
its so absolutely superior to any form of technology.
Its because that imagination that can do things with time, right, allows
you not to go back in time but to bring the trauma to you here now.
You do the opposite.
Its like something out of martial arts.
We cant go back physically but we can bring the
trauma to consciousness here where we are now.
Bring it in front of us.
Call it in front of you to deal with it it.
Once you know that it is a problem right.
You don't regress that's deadly.
Some people would have tried that the Jim Morrison types.
Those who plunge in, those who try to swim around in the abyss.
I understand it.
I understand it.
But it doesn't work.
Because the waters are too powerful.
The river level is too powerful.
Thor had to hang on to the Rowan tree because the gails where blowing him away.
So the Rowan became sacred to the Arya.
Because the God clung to it for dear life, as
he negotiated the trials of the underworld.
Odin lost an eye.
Horus lost an eye.
Mortally wounded.
Mortally wounded.
You don't need to do that.
You don't regress, you invert.
You bring the trauma back.
And you do that by simply stepping out into nature and say hello.
Because nature is eternal, nature is timeless.
So even the trauma that existed that made the rend between
us, right, it was technically historically a long time ago.
It certainly wasn't in our personal lives.
So...
What, are we stuck with it then?
No, each individual has imagination.
This ability to constellate and concertina the time
of history and go out, not to surf, bungee jump and
sky dive or do whatever other preposterous ***
that people do when they walk out into nature.
So there dog can take a ***.
No, no, no.
This time is different.
This day you leave the fishing rod behind.
This day you go for the first time as if you where doing it millennia ago.
And you open dialogue ultimately with yourself but you
do it to nature, to her, you go and say hello I'm back.
And you will be, the moment you will do it you
will be because she is waiting to talk to you.
The conversation is long overdue.
But she is very very patient.
And has waited for each one of us to return.
And you sit down and you have a tet-a-tet under
the stars or under the sun its your choice.
Inside the sea, on a rock, under a mushroom whatever you want to do.
Its your garden its your place.
You pick the time and you go.
It is not the going, it is the way that you go.
Because that is the unconscious, that we spoke of just a few moments ago,
so how you walk into it, how you walk is of unimaginable importance.
The whole thing rests on how you walk that road.
If you want the right angels to come don't you have to signal the right call?
Don't you have to press the right button?
Don't you have to sing the right song?
Vladimir Soloviev the Russian writer said that:
It is time men realized their oneness with
Mother Earth and rescued her from lifelessness
so they also can save themselves from death.
But what oneness can we have with the earth, when we have no such oneness, no
such relationship with ourselves Now for the true investigation of the solutions.
When we spoke about imagination being a totality
of experience, now, that's a magical act.
A magical act is one that affects you physically,
mentally, emotionally, physically the lot in one.
Actually very few things do that.
Nature obviously.
Music is another.
It becomes hard to think of any other.
There are other ones of course.
The center of Nitches @#39; teachings it almost becomes a joke to how
this man was so utterly misinterpreted, its almost a subject in itself.
It would make you weep.
The center of consciousness in his theories of
the whole problem of existence, (now technically
he is an existentialist) is this concept of getting
out of the reason, getting out of the mind.
De-constructing all this non sense.
All the religion all the mysteria.
But what good are you if you don't replace it with something else, well if you read
a lot of Nietche people you would think they never replaced it with anything else.
You would think this man was running around with a sledge hammer, debunking and
destroying, breaking down, slandering, and histrionics and yet quite the reverse.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
He replaced it with what you might want to refer to as
the aesthetic experience, the aesthetic life in fact.
And that is because each individuals life you have a child but think
back to the primitive man, these two things never run along parallel.
You have the Hegelian historical process where we are going
to describe what happened to the first man somewhere
back when and it also happens patternlessly in the
individual life of an individual stereotypical person.
And that is this act of one day while you are
ploughing the field, milking the goat or even
watching your army proceed to war you know,
bringing water from the well something happens.
If you watch the movie fearless with Jeff Bridges @#39; he
goes through it on the aeroplane that's about to crash.
Suddenly, a man or a woman looks up, a child looks up
and is struck with something and its called awe of the
unimaginable beauty of a sunset or the unimaginable beauty
of the ocean, of flowers or something in the spring air.
And that awe response is not mental, its total, its of the
imagination and its what's known as aesthetic experience.
And in fact our very first link with the universe, the
first opening of the communication portal was that.
The universe spoke to us by pure beauty and
Nietche @#39; was incredibly conscious of this.
To such an extent that he became obsessed with it.
And to him anything but this experience was livid, morbid and vile.
And when one understands this you understand why
the man was a few shillings short of a pound note.
You understand it!
Why he wanted to throw the money lenders out.
And that he couldn't think of how to rip it down.
How do you tear this lie down?!
Now this awe, doesn't happen rationally your not
measuring the sun thinking how deep the ocean is or
let me analyse the colour of it, or this is the
Atlantic and Pacific let me tell you all about it.
Its none of that stuff.
Its something immediate.
Its something awesome, right.
We are working with people who are trying to
limit it down, package it or virtualise it.
And what is the tool that you use for all of this magic?
Simple perception.
Nothing rational required, simple perception.
As a matter of fact, the aesthetic experience was the origin of science.
First man had the awe, this is brought up by Haggel who
sees this, then man looked up and saw the beauty of
the mountains and the clouds or the animals, the due
on the dear right, and he saw it, or the of a tree.
That is the origin of the curiosity that latter lead to thanks.
So these bloody scientists don't realise that it is this totality
of experience that gave rise to there scientism because that is
how you got curious about what that thing is and went to look at
it, ***, understand it and in the end make it symbolic for you.
The horse, the lion, all of this.
The fascination that became science opened up
with an immediate, full brain, omnipotent,
plastic, omnidirectional response that Nietche @#39; was absolutely devoted to.
His philosophy was totally about this.
That's why when you hear about all this rhetoric about the Dionysian, the
Apollonian and all of this nonsense that people have misinterpreted.
This is what he is exploring and he was caught up in it.
Alvin Boyd Kuhn says: ...thinking which does not start from and continue in close
relation to its foundations in the physical universe must lead to falsity.
When that cord is severed, when man is not
using earth to instruct him, when he is being
guided by the misguided how could it possibly
be the disaster that we see around us today.
Nature is the instructor.
So as these people like Nietche understood we are not thinking.
Hiedeger says: The most thought-provoking thing in our
thought-provoking time is that we are still not thinking.
And boy is he right because thinking for him is not
some mechanical action of the brain that some computer
is going to do tomorrow and that my magical little 8
level chess set can do pretty much as good as I can.
No, no, no thinking is something vaster than that.
He too is speaking about this aesthetic response.
A spontaneous response to Nature's vastness and
beauty is fundamental to healthy authentic existence.
It is a direct and total experience involving mind, heart and body.
It is not contrived and is, in fact, the Self responding toward its own majesty.
(When you go out to her you are looking at a mirror by the way.) The Aesthetic
response is possible because of what we are, not what we have become.
Of course the designs of our cities, I've got to emphasize
this, and the designs of our towns, cities prevents this.
Nobody could sow on a button let alone dig a well, there's no artisans any more.
We are not truly productive, we no nothing about the earth.
In fact as I said, kind of jokingly about it.
Our relationship with nature is almost recreational to almost an incredible degree.
But that's not a relationship with nature.
Katherin Froese an expert on Nietche @#39; says: ...it is important that human beings
maintain a kind of awe with respect to the greater whole of which we are a part,
since this not only provides us with an important
fountain of meaning, but also prevents
us from trying to engage in destructive conquest of the world which is our home.
The sensibility and capacity, once awakened, is the main
characteristic that serves to separate one human being from another.
(This is my writing, so I'm saying you can divide people.
We have spoken about two or three ways of how to divide the human race.
This is another one a very important one) The sensibility and capacity, once awakened,
is the main characteristic that serves to separate one human being from another.
It is the manner by which authenticity and individuality are achieved.
This is because an aesthetic response (to the
landscape or piece of music or whatever it might be
just sitting there looking at the light coming
through the window) cannot be shared or quantified.
(It is an act to and for the self.) It can't be measured.
Each person's response is their own.
(We have all the collectivism we have explained, right, and it can be
toppled like a house of cards in one second by this Nietchian theory.
Because it is purely an individual thing.
Topically we like to say yeah yeah I felt moved by
that piece of music as you did, you know this is
just daily stuff, ultimately when you really go into
the experience it is not at all any way the same.
It is absolutely unique because it is something coming out of you own self.
What such an experience evokes within you is yours alone.
And that centre of privacy that alone-ship is the
first act of individuality and independence.
But all the other forms are pseudo versions.
Or largely as we say sharing between two or more people, that's the antithesis of this.
The Aesthetic Sensibility is activated by way of PERCEPTION.
We were born with the capacity for perception, and with the organs of perception.
We were born with eyes.
Moreover, we were born with the capacity of awe.
We did not create the organs or the capacity.
Furthermore we did not create the object of our awe.
We did not create the beauty that surrounds.
We merely perceive it.
And the ancient Arya and that type of people the druids where
aware of this that's why they have reverence towards it.
They damn right know they didn't create it or bring it into being.
That's why they protect it.
Look where we are today.
In one of the most ancient texts in India the Sri Bhagavata
an ancient ancient text almost un-dateable here's what you
read: Aryans do not kill even a small plant unnecessarily,
not to speak of cutting trees for sense gratification...
Aryans do not distinguish between lower and higher grades of life.
All life should be protected.
All living beings have a right to live, even the trees and plants.
This is the basic principle of an *** civilisation.
And they didn't mean *** in the way its being portrayed to us.
Arya is anyone who is of the truth in any culture in any race.
Back to Froms biophilia and necrophilia.
Biophilia is the passionate love of life and of all that is alive, it is the wish
to further growth, whether in a person, a plant, an idea, or a social group...
the biophilious person...
wants to be more rather than to have more.
Alan Watts speaking on the same subject says:
Lack of knowledge about the evolution of the
organic from the ''inorganic,'' coupled with
misleading myths about life coming ''into'' this
world from somewhere ''outside,'' has made it
difficult for us to see that the biosphere
arises, or goes with, a certain degree of geological
and astronomical evolution, as Douglas E.
Harding has pointed out, we tend to think of this planet as a life-infested
rock, which is as absurd as thinking that the body is a cell-infested skeleton.
Surely, all forms of life including man, must be
understood as ''symptoms'' of the earth, the solar
system, and the galaxy - in which case we cannot
escape the conclusion that the galaxy is intelligent.
Heidegger put it this way: You are sitting here or your writing
on a piece of paper, the paper sits upon the desk, the desk
sits upon the floor, the floor sits upon the foundations of the
house, the house sits upon the earth, the earth sits upon what?
Right.
The universe and on and on and on it goes.
Everything is nestled into everything else.
the apple on the tree cannot be considered distinct from anything around
it because its on the twig that's on the branch that's on the bow that's
on the trunk that's on the ground and then on the soil the soil is part
of the earth which is nestled into the universe and so on and so on.
So how could anything be separate from anything else.
These are these misleading points that Watts is talking about.
We do not ''come into'' this world, we come out of it, as leaves from a tree.
As the ocean 'waves,'' the universe ''peoples'' Why we don't
see this, is because of this narrow false way of seeing.
The alteration held by all the neurosis and whatever else.
The false narrow way of seeing.
A way of seeing, very important.
Alvin Boyd Kuhn puts it in the best language he could imagine.
The real Maya (right the Vedic word for the cage of the world and the
home of the spirit into which your locked and incarcerated, hehehe wrong!
And they are wrong, just go back before them to the original Tantric earlier
religions from where they have risen, so its completely the opposite.
Its all priest lip.
Mushroom heads Kuhn jumps in and says:) The real Maya or illusion
is not in the natural forms, but in the mind's propensity to
conceive or project forms created by its own inventiveness, but
which do not agree with the truth extant or potential in nature.
So the Maya which these priests think there
caught, and which whole cults of Sai Baba's and
God knows what Anandas have risen up are based
in an understanding which is completely false.
Aberrant thinking is the Maya, looking at Ishvara looking at Prakriti
looking at the Maya with the distorted eyes is the Maya not that itself.
That inverts a hell of a lot when you fully understand the depth of that.
The quantum scientist Werner Karl Heisenberg says it another way he says: What we
observe is not nature itself but nature exposed to our method of understanding.
Yeah our demented method of understanding, yeah but you in this life can change that.
Freud called for Oceanic Experience to get out of the pathology.
He called for what we are talking about right here.
He said its very very necessary, very necessary,
crucial to heal the antipathy, Oceanic experiences.
Go out and be there, go out and talk to nature develop a relationship like you have
done all your life with people who give you baffle and queues and affectations.
You think its only human beings that exist in this world
what about the ''inanimate'' things, so called inanimate.
Its a joke ''inanimate'' look at that.
What more hierarchical, territorial, Speciesism could we have, right.
Then again its not what you experience its the way that you do it.
The guy beside you, the girl beside you may not get it at all.
It doesn't matter about them and your not meant to impose it upon them or force them
because that's an act of violence on there
consciousness, they are where they need to be.
As you need to be where you are.
For them to talk to you and to turn you away from the way you are is an act of psychic
violence, you to take them out of there ignorance is an act of psychic violence.
Neither one is justified.
Anniella Jaffe says that: In Alchemy, the 'prime
material'' (right that's the basis of all
things) was often represented by such monstrous
and fabulous creatures - mixed forms of animals.
In psychological terms they would probably symbolize the original total consciousness,
out of which the individual ego can rise and begin to develop toward maturity.
So in other words the earliest forms of that which is
real is symbolised by animals as we see in the Egyptians.
That's because they had reverence towards nature.
But what do we get five minutes later?
Pope Pius the 9th did not permit a society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals to be
founded in Rome because, as he declared, theology
teaches that man owes no duty to any animal.
And in fact the word animal actually means purely literally bad spirit.
Anima.
With an a on the front, right.
The opposite, mal being evil.
How about that.
The Egyptians are telling you that the animal represents
your inner sense, the inner archetypes the inner template.
We know that even now animals heal people.
They actually heal the sick.
Bring people out of comas and all that.
Bad spirits.
We touched on it earlier on the difficulty of even
penetrating the mind the unconscious you know.
Along side that is the bizarre fallacy that its not a place to be looking in anyway.
You know most people even talk topically on the unconscious.
You get this idea that its this dark cellar.
Or some attic, Norman Bates (movie Psycho) some
dark little hang out for Dracula's coffin.
That's all nonsense.
Its not a place.
You cant open the mind and look at that.
Its a way of seeing.
Who brings this out who emphasises this over and over again.
The Freud's didn't listen, you know, they went off in another direction,
there was a great productivity in doing that but Groddeck had it all along.
There's no circuitry and super ego oh and its connected this and all...
Its an anatomy but its not like that.
Its not an anatomy in the head its an anatomy of perception.
A way of seeing.
Groddeck is most careful to insist that the ID is
not a thing in itself but merely a way of seeing.
Well then what do you need psychologists for what do you need these experts for?
You can change your way of seeing instantly.
You in fact are the only one who can.
The mechanical model is for all the guys in the
white coats to get in there and mess with it.
Monty Python you know giving birth to...
Graham Chapman and his contraptions that's what that's all about.
Saw your leg off.
They love that because there like we can now get in there and fix you.
How can you fix a way of seeing?!
In fact in Greek, the word for ''I know'' (είδα), also means ''I have seen.''
That on one level seems kind of obvious but to
see and to perceive is the same word as to know.
And also lets not forget that perception is also external
and internal the inner being the imagination body.
But even when the way of seeing is turned inside, even when perception
is turned inside its still a way of seeing the way of seeing your self.
Either sadistically or non sadistically.
And again back to Ponty's original point you by being in existence this thing
called an ''I'' this ability to perceive nucleates opposites that we began with.
Because you are an object as much as any object you look at.
But you are the subject, so to all intensive purposes the very act of perception,
how simple this is, concertinas opposites and dualities out of existence.
No paths, no gurus, no incense waving, no
mushroom concoctions, and dancing over coals and
swinging from God knows what, no evangelist tents
and baptisms and holly books you already are it.
Julian Jaynes says: ...there is nothing in consciousness (there's nothing
there) that is not an analogue of something that was in behaviour first.
Now on one level that sounds very negative, oh physicalist, oh materialist.
No, no, no.
We already talked about the physicalist that's not the same.
So your body transcends duality.
No man, not a single being that has ever lived has had a
clear and more perceptive and more accurate understanding of
the world of the body physical than Wilhelm Reich and
subsequently one would also mention Alexander Lowen his prodigy.
The fact that Wilhelm Reich died in a federal stockyard of course...
eh just incidental.
Tried to heal people you know.
It sucks.
But the keys to enlightenment lie in his work.
For one reason enlightenment has very little to do with light.
Which we will get to in a minute.
In his schemata again very stripped down, remember we touched on that
thing profundous that the self exists in the pits, the depths and
Hades as opposed to heaven so to speak well the same analogue we find
when we came across Wilhelm Reichs theory the boienergy of the body.
The light force the very thing that keeps us alive every second
of every minute and the bioenergy being the song of life.
Being the very gift that we've got from the Universe right.
In his schemata the surface or up is the surface skin of the body, the outer shell.
The core is downwards in there scheme towards the core.
Here is the realm master stroke: Did you know that,
he followed in Groddecks steps, to de-construct all
this whole model of the mind he really took off that
piece and believed that the ego, is in fact the body.
Particularly the skin the surface of the body.
This can be quite difficult for those that are not familiar with this.
And that the self instead of being up here as we
said in its dark cavern, the self is the core of the
bioenergy where it radiates from within from the
core, the centre or down as opposed to up right.
Do you see what this means on one level.
All that rhetoric about ''oh we have ascending energy
coming from the crown chakra'' and all this other...
Outside of you in other words is a lot of bunk.
Energy pulsates from within to the surface and back again, not from up to down.
Again this is this infection of this false, you've got a false religious clap trap.
The energy can go a lot of places but it actually
pulsates from the core to the surface of the body.
Same way as you fall asleep.
Look what's happening.
Its retracting.
Its not going up.
Your energy is flagging and its retracting from the core.
And the body becomes flaccid and you go to sleep.
And when you wake up its flushing to the surface again.
Where have we heard that before?
Right, the ancient Arya, the Vedics, its similar to the chakra system is it not?
The core at least.
Its an old *** teaching nothing is new.
They also call it the Mesla, Fohat, Sushumna thousands of terms, the serpent energy.
Julian Jaynes has pointed out that the subjective space is a recent phenomena.
Studies of primitive people shows that they have no words
for emotions or there explanations of subjective or
emotional states are restricted to explanations of the
external states and situation or there sensations at the time.
This implies that the body ego should be considered the same thing.
That's right, rings and rings of research show that there is
no recollection or verbalising of inner emotional experiences.
Its the space that there in.
Meaning the place the skin body registers.
Because the skin is registering what is happening,
right your outer surface is the antenna.
So all descriptions of experience where that.
Which goes a long way to proving what Reich's point was.
One miracle of the body is the simple spine.
They talk about the bumble bee and how it should be able to fly and a few of
these other ones, my God the spine, you shouldn't even be able to stand up.
If you think about it.
If you had a skeleton right here and you hang it
up by one of those hooks, that's why it has to be
hung up with a hook because you anything else than
being hung will make it crumble to the ground.
It doesn't matter that some fatty tissue or skin, flesh and muscle
is put there the skeleton as it is shouldn't be able to stand up.
With a big cavity here and the neck and the spine we should
be able to stand up we should be 90 degrees bent over.
How come we are not?
The Bioenergy of the body.
And the cellular intelligence, the concentration.
Think of the language of the body, think of it, if you are in a state of concentration
your body posture will show the second person that you are concentrated.
If you are sitting and playing an instrument of any kind your
posture and your focus and your body has altered its posture.
If your in an attitude of reverence or prayer there's a whole
different look about you face as we can see in the medieval art.
If your in fear they say your skin crawls or
your hands shake or your breath becomes shorter.
Your body is doing something.
The body is acting.
If you feel embarrassed your face reddens right, if you get angry your legs often
tremble if there danger you say that the hair stands up at the end of your neck.
When we have awe our eyes get wider.
When there's *** arousal we have
