[ some thoughts on the nature of persecution ]

GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE

For quite some time I’ve been thinking about putting together a solid rationale about my ‘spreading the word’ activities in public, about my endeavours to establish a professional loophole that cuts through the complex and tight spiderweb that’s been established – with almost everyone farcically contributing – as our notions, angles and vantage point of ‘human reality’. Such an undertaking raises such enormous issues as counteracting the removal of organs, of lives, ideas, even of gods … or the suppression and persecution of universes, worlds, countries, philosophies, careers, individuals, etc. While on the merely mundane, it involves the shedding of light into our ridiculous struggle of ‘who’s right and who’s wrong’ that has turned out to be a kind of pivot of all human pettiness and its brainwashed, instigated arena called ‘survival of the fittest’ – probably since the beginning of time. Or at least since Keen opted to terminate his brother Able, only to satisfy his jealousy-fueled desire to keep-up appearances, by wiping away that which is Pure and True from the surface of the earth. Or to be more precise, to remove someone else’s above-the-line Visibility for the sake of upholding a wicked, below-the-line Lie.

Those who I’ve managed to reach know that I’m talking about Eric Berne’s Group Canons a lot (in the earlier book Systemics and privately to people around me) and what an inescapable entrapment they entail for anyone feeling they belong to a particular group (or ‘party’) wholeheartedly. For any force of destruction, this particular flaw of ‘longing for belonging’ makes it perfectly convenient to stir the direction of such neatly coherent group anywhere they want to. Macchiavelli, as most of you know, teaches its manipulative top-level skill via the introduction of a secret force that is giving the unsuspecting (be)longers both a Left and a Right faction to contend with. Not only is this keeping the sheeple purposeful and busy while in the end they’d kiss the feet of the covert puppet masters all the same (regardless of which faction those forces have decided to let win for the time being). These Group Canons, it turns out, are also the primary cause boxing mankind in during our present ‘final hours’.

Who’d dare taking the role as ‘agitator / saviour’ who challenges those canons in such a hopeless endgame play-out? For it’s the nature of a group (like it is for any individual) to ensure its continued ‘survival’ – i.e. carrying itself forth into the future and thus fighting off, expelling, annihilating anyone or anything threatening such a course. Who’d re-question the originally set-down Canon when almost everyone goes along with it towards its final destination? Even if such an agitator did come along, sacrificing himself for a higher cause (like suicide terrorists have been brainwashed to do) – how could they stand any chance to counter the all-encompassing socially-engineered notional wave that’s based on undermined values of money, evolution, commerce, art, culture, welfare, relationships, intimacy, cultivation, the divine, etc? Each individual’s life-thread is literally and totally attached to those? No wonder they nailed Jesus the Christ on a cross even though his version of the Buddha Law would save them from facing disintegration.

Any real change then, rather than being caused by a different political climate or some other superficial changes of an existing framework, could only be achieved from within each individual’s heart (each particle of the collective / cosmic wave) – no? Was there anything wrong with the system as such in the first place, anyway? Systems come and go, don’t they, and are subject to the developmental phases of formation, stasis, degeneration just like the (old) Universe itself.

This then means, that within our being lost in delusion (trapped within the dimensional confines of particles called Planets and Molecules), each individual is required to take their own stance and position. Would your spouse, your parent or your boss be able to ‘save you’ or absolve you when ‘closure’ (truth arriving at the surface) eventually arrives? Would you be able to forgive them your having been ‘ruined’ while they say “sorry” and refer, in the futile attempt of a rational apology, to only having ‘followed orders’ or just didn’t know any better? If a machine that you feel is vital to be part of causes you to do things that harm others (maybe even harm exactly those who’ve got the courage to not play an active part in the machine) – would any The Hague court simply shrug-off your ‘sins’ because of the ludicrous reasoning that ‘a machine is simply a machine’? Who’d be able to take the blame for your not having known better, your having been ‘unfortunately’ deceived? Your basically going against your very own conscience? Could there be any graver sin than going against one’s own Conscience?

If every Individual is required to take their stance within this grinding Machine, break free of any collective chains to choose their own colour, shade and position – according to their most fundamental conscience, and according to values that prove right throughout time-frames and space-frames that are universal … if they manage to do that, then the areas of Grey that lie between the extremes of blackness and whiteness are the only room left for any real freedom-of-choice. They’re the no-where-land from which to go into any available future directions. Or the only reliable ground offering an infinite variety of individual future choices. Or – maybe even going this far – the only available zone left for us to stand on for the survival of narrative warfare .

SEDUCTION AND ADVERTISING

What I can see now is that corruption to the integrity of a given system begins with the exchange of money or other favours for mere visibility – and from there invariably ends with the distorted systemic expressions like rape, theft and murder. It’s literally as easy as that. I’ll give two trails of thought as an example.
