Chaos text ii PREFACE The purpose of this book is to present current systems of thought and perception which enable the ordinary intelligent American cognitive appreciation of life, of current events and of biblical and other conundra but with enhanced cognitive efficacy. This partial collation of principled assertions consists of interlaced extracts of various cosmologies and rationales for the universe and man's place in it or man's requisite behavior for personal viability in it. Except for thin references to cosmologies generated by theoretical physicists, the cosmologies are, but one, those of some religion, including the psychologies. The remaining system is referred to and implied. If the reader is not of the same mind as the author or his referents, the possession of cognitive awareness of that system which is the cognitive array of the reader is presumed and taken for granted to be a subconscious or forgotten or latent realization of the system by the reader. I am discussing the quality of human being and awareness, what "everybody knows". This is, in essence, an effort to define and to present the secret of life: how to be as intelligent as one's brain. This essay also seeks to explain the Holy Bible and to lend insight into that thought system which is Buddhism. The "judgment of the nations" referred to in Christian texts and implied in Buddhist texts by reference to the judgment of mentality as formed by culture and language, will occur as the judgment of the national mentalities internalized to individuals. It behooves one to act in terms of the most noble. For Jews, the Rabbis phreneticly and futilely urge the practise of "Loving Kindness". For Vietnamese, nobility means being any sized cog in the wheel of the life of the people, but a fecund one, also brave and intelligent, these latter being the standards by which mates are selected by Vietnamese women. Asia seems to be along for the ride. For us, this means to act in terms of and to live in terms of the "ideal" America. How to go about this is obvious to the mature and pure in heart, but even so to the malignant and the stupid. Living in the ideal America does not have much at all to do with the approbation of the judgmental. Nor is it likely in each and every circumstance to have much to do with the institutions existing in the nation today. Classical guidelines for life in general are abundant. These guidelines appear to be consistent and their answers absolutely personal in direction. America as a national entity has its own organic life. As individuals we may still the swim of confusion in multifarious precepts. Precepts nearly always have apparent conflicts of situational sensibility. By grasping and adhering to the principles of life itself one may effectually aspire to "peace of mind", and more. There is no confirmation of a principle as convincing as the recognition of that principle in many and diverse corners and the gratifications of its internalization and its prognosticatory services. For most, the assimilation of a fully articulated principle or paradigm means years perhaps decades of study in at least one philosophical type of orientation, the seeking of and the immersion in a population of like-minded individuals, and some period spent in circumstances of regeneration. Deep understanding left uncultured withers and dies. With the general stabilities of a powerful and rich nation allowing many of us to enjoy having providential material wealth to reflect upon us the beautiful and to couch us in shelter and hoped for good company, such a loss and absence of the heart of understanding may not be missed. When, however, the going gets rough and planet, nation and community are thoroughly shaken, the slothfulness of not having woven what was "only" a spiritual thing into one's mind and one's deeds for the sake of one's poise proves a vice difficult to compensate. iii The personhood of the nation is full. The national personality will continue to transpire experiences on its own scale from which one may spiritually disengage oneself for one's own providence in confidence though perhaps not one's material securities in present day America. Understanding the mechanisms by which an authentic grouping, a people, behaves and can be assessed affords perception in devining international likelihoods in addition to the enhancement of one's freedom of mind. Here are presented without minute citations the perceived confluence of an array of philosophical approaches to cognitive certainties. Rather than to invite the compromise of concentration on what are often quite subtle ideas frequently held in array, examples of various events of current or recent American history both internal and international as well as presentations of our folkways or national ideosynchrasies simultaneously with abstractions rendered in nontechnical prose are used to evoke or to facilitate understanding. In the absence of specific references apart from a partial bibliography, the proofs of history unfolding as predicted are a principal corroboration. The assertion is that this approach serves the need for authentic knowledge, like-minded society, and time spent gestating in terms of these; because we as Americans happen to be devine and perfect in form if not in fact and detail of beauty. The system presented is not a construction. While parallels are drawn between the cosmological and the theological, no apologies nor lengthy presentations of either are made and the familiarity of the reader with the latest speculations of theoretical physics and the text itself of the Rabbis' or Christians' scriptures is presumed. The heart of the most salient features of this hermeneusis comes of Buddhism, specifically Tibetan Buddhism of the Kargyutpa Sect. In anticipation of global suicide and their own assault by China, the Tibetans decades earlier in this century began to present their knowledge in terms more accessible to heathens and aliens. We ought more fully to benefit from their sharing. Introduction of alien terms and of neologisms is minimized, but the former are inescapable since "birth", "death", "cathexis", "in" and "out" are limited and often inappropriate. The style of writing is intended to serve nothing other than the end of brevity and clarity both for the purpose of allowing the reader to grasp the whole of the intended communication in a minimal period of time for easier comprehension and assimilation. Also, the providing of the text as quickly as possible is served as the time predicted before the unfolding of the developments claimed to be in store for us is quite short. The license taken with the style of collation is ideosynchratic but the contents are presented as authentic and viable. It is often pointed out that the present state of technological development of the human race is the stunted consequence of the social and economic practises of the ancient Greek. These practises are embedded in western civilization. The Greek is lent the onus because he had been by far the most advanced in political and economic as well as intellectual orientation as far as he went in comparison with other peoples and cultures or orientations including India under Ashoka, and China. The triumph of the Pythagoreans over the Ionians is understood to be the point of interface defining the triumph of the social impediments of slavery and secretive mysticism over authentic democratic intelligence and science. It is hoped that clarity is hereby lent which will insinuate the species, at least the American, in the correct orientation to maturation and to wholesome productivity. iv Summary Einstein said: A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. First there is nothing. Afterwards there is dust. The dust gathers and forms bodies which eventually expire into new more complex dust. This second ordering of matter ejects or allows the accretion of yet more complex dust such are ourselves. Each stage, like the recently recognized geometry of the fractal, seems identical or very similar to its forerunner. Also within each grand formation the geometries repeat: the moon orbiting an orbiting body which orbits another central mass. Like the diminishing reproducibility of the greater fractal, the most subordinate orbiting body, the moon, the fractal cannot sustain indefinite imaging in microcosm. The nature of time, its quality, is the regimen of reality perceptible to the sentient. The expression of time is the prerogative of the superordinate, the noumenal. The function of time is as that veil or window obfuscating or permitting truth and realization. Except for the fulminations of the creation of the universe, its articulation as what we call the firmament, time finds form of expression in the totality of a life: the individual, the formal aggregates of his kind, the singularity which is the aggregate or the species. One's human past conveys oneself into the future through the agency of personality centered by its cognitive faculty or intellect, it defined by its immutible adherance to the time line and thereby to reality as intelligence. There is essential quality in each facet of being: being one of many, being one of a pair that reflects or interfaces or melds or complements, and being one who brings another into presence. The qualitative definitions obtain in the same principled manner in the lives of "organic" populations over spans of time appropriate to the scales of their developmental and life cycles. At each authentic division of relative scale defining a particular subject or entity, there is only one optimal embodiment of the particular quality in the next superordinate platonic stage of reality. This exclusivity is enforced by the parallelism of the successive orders of scale: The sun, the planets, the moons have their cyclical relationship on one scale called the firmament; the molecular or the atomic have their similar and proportionally identical range of interactive dynamics parallel with the subatomic and the cosmic including in infinitesimal perspective what we perceive in the firmament, the seconds, minutes, days, weeks seasons and years are between trillionths of trillionths seconds and several grander orders of eternity afforded by the several dozen zeroes of Planck's Constant. The self effacing and the grandiose span the nebulous qualities of reality with personality as would the nation and the fecund human couple. However, in the nethermost extrusion of reality, there is diminished out of present reality any potential for biospheres or sentient entities, though their attenuated functions are extent and negotiable through science. All formal human entities and their noumenal templates in the first station of each fractal have a shared paradigm of sentience nascently equivalent to that of the supreme. That which we understand to be noumenal is that which we are not matured to fully perceive nor to concertedly interact in the macrocosm or the microcosm, owing to intellectual befuddlement and preoccupation with personal (institutional) significance or power. The matrices of formal human entities interface and optimally express at either of the poles of scale: godhead and the individual also the correct confabulations of the intellect of the individual; these being generally quantifiable sciences forming aspects of the microcosmic in their eschelons of scale. Noumenally, this expression is creation. Phenomenally, such is the love of and resolution in the creator or the process of realization. Scale beneath that of the individual conforms physical and mental health. Elsewise in the cosmos, the paradigm expresses in qualities substituent to particular fractaled aspects or facets and thusly predicts or confirms locus and history. Like the Supreme Being, the collective Anglo Saxon descends out of stultified boredom to perceive the degree of coincidence with himself among those he perceives to be less because they are other. Unlike the Supreme Being Who promised to have written His law in the hearts of those traced out of Abraham through Israel to the Isles and to North America, the Anglos and their acculturated ilk transit their torment in a revealing condescension: "If we feed India, they will not work and will copulate around the clock", "The negroid among us have no cares but to eat, sleep and to copulate", "We must dominate the massive populations of the orient because, not having what we have, they have no choice but hard labor with respite only to copulate". Like the Supreme Being and in irresistible conformity with His principles, with reality, those of us of the Saxon persuasions serve what we do not perceive and effect the service construed for the great patriarch, Abraham. Everything appears to be beautiful and perfect and on schedule. There is to be catharses beyond the ken of our troublesome machinations. The development is precisely that of the invalidation and dissolution of the contrived egos of our sociocultural assertions and the resolution of the properties of ego with those of authentic being, a process which we sense and which we face with trepidation. Everything is going to be okay, but we may nevertheless allow the pithed mentality to operate the tools of its cautions and passions, those of material warfare. The break with reality simultaneous with the introduction of Neanderthal into both the genepool and mentation of Cro Magnon, simultaneous with the duplicity and manipulations of Eve and her human society presumably disseminated out of Cain, is healed with the break by Abraham from all else but his nephew, Lot, from the degeneracies of the human race construeing a psychoemotional universe of its own, one it would force upon "the heavens"; and so this is corrected with the first true nation he fathered. That nation produced the principal exemplar showing how man may return to principle or truth or to reality. The seed or type of Abraham show the world how to live as though born wild and tamed with infusion into and internalization of a workable declension of the master paradigm to the nation or country, particularly the USA, which offers all without measure to the naked individual able go rise up and to hustle for material and emotion and otherwise spiritual fulfillment of the authentic kind. This beauty is perceived by aliens who do not know too much about us as well as by the especially sensitive who understand the drama we are, by the Myrdals and the Tallyrands. The astonishing virility of the Anglo Saxon male when among women very unlike Jill and when in a foreign land he may understand, in USA, to be some form of ghetto, does displace the stereotype of the Frenchman philanderer; also, the Anglo Saxon stud demonstrates the potency of Reuben, the first born who has a rival in Joseph of the multicolored robe, the desired first born and the first born of he firstly desired bride. The similarity with Abel is there, so is the resemblance to Nimrod but also the Neanderthal. Neanderthal is the bogeyman of the human race who lost formal identity with the civilizing of the Viking. It is a safe quess that Neanderthal socialized with same sex friends with whom he hunted but did not husband; that he briefly visited the den of one or another female for sex, but did not participate in the economies of householding; that he plundered humans of their women and caused a long borne anxiety of some Europeans that they were subject to being "changed" by a kind of man they could not defeat one-on-one. The Vikings populated Iceland by carrying away to there the most beautiful woman of each village overrun, something their victims could not help but notice and resent keenly in the way males do. The qualities of interactions among and between humans or their entities of aggregation define and context or reflect and embody order in a principled and self iterating universe. In a given "first locale", location or species, there is only one seminal and unalloyed and mutual conduit between microcosm and macrocosm. The argument between and among entities of similar scale and between entities disparate in scale negotiates reality as circumstance along the timeline. Fluency of a life within and between locales defines that life, the quality or stature of a species or of its template or the persona and character of an exemplar of an order of life, or singular species, the formal aggregations of whatever sort within the species, and the psychoemotional tonus of the individual's life budding the tree of its kind's life. Between chakras and fractals as well as locales, one is constrained in function by transition among scales but also by "direction", including sequence. The "window", conforms the transition and does this along the time- line as a "life-function" particular in its quality to specific "realms" sandwiching the sentient being living out given fulminations of mind. The individual brings the weight of history, genes, cultural context, perception of a situation, mentality, through the atemporal nature of self to an ever receding future as consequence and effect sometimes conditioned by character. Our most succinct cultural awareness of the tautness of time is: "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust." From fertile earth to fertilized earth we go each, while rarely gaining the ken of the context we breach only with personal spiritual absentness and the perception of the order and intelligence of the biosphere. From ancient times, "heritage" had begun "in the beginning" but we Americans too often begin our qualitative presentation of self with the physical description by color, not even gender. The major religions and most others preserve the memory of roots in the cosmos. Socially and professionally, in our present "fallen" national status, orientation to the universal is generally unwise. Beginning in the sixties, the orientation to the extrapersonal and to the superhuman came again in direct relation to psychedelicization or "mind opening" with the use of drugs, but in the absence of any acceptable social, cultural or religious knowledge and lore. We cannot make the associations between Aphrodite and Kundalini and "the worm" in the pit of the belly; we do not associate the fulminations of the libido with having "wings on one's heels", as per a certain love song, nor fullsomely with Hermes or Mercury; we do not have a thoroughgoing integrated knowledge of the laws and order of personhood and self as they define the personal Christ or the id. As individuals or groups, we do not have a means of concording belligerance or warfare, which depend on various levels of interaction, with Mars or the titan. All of this is providential in a way because we do not easily confound what we do not perceive and do act more naturally and in accordance with what is "written" in our hearts. The tendency is to switch, in culturally schizoid fashion, between the stilted or emotion laden catch- phrases referencing societal postures and what is "only" intuitive perception of truth and nature. Such carry no weight, particularly because Anglo or Saxon or Western societies in general insist to the individual that he present himself in accomodation with the perversities of "common knowledge" or "science" tuned to the lowest common denominator of social double standards rooted in rage and psychoemotional impotence. The effect is not providential. We have no living legends. We have Simon Legree and Uncle Tom and the impetus therefore to hide in "whiteness" so as to be shielded from extreme cruelties formulated in Europe but diluted here by its concentration against the dark especially since the attempts of the sixties to legislate goodness and the mental health of sound patriotism. The coopting of the equation of parent to child in the interaction between the constable and the citizen or between the employer and the employee by one of the parties, aggregate or individual, coopting by personalization of roles of the relation to the end of serving a visceral sensing of power or pride. The permutations of the relation: group to group, person to group, plenipotentiary of a group to person; also the functional reversal of roles, the domination of the citizen by the constable instead of the opposite or corrupt lawkeepers among an otherwise crime free citizenry or perhaps the complete domination of an employer by hirelings; also the corruption of the paradigm for the law in the one example or of the economy in the other; as well the myriad degrees of parties to any equation failing to coincide with appropriate noumenal templates determining the given equation; these permutations determine a manifold set among innumerable sets of personas which comprise a "host" or devine population or constituents to a personality optimally at one with herself in her full dimensionality as hostess or integral mentality of individual or society. We see in the west that the ability to direct the conduct of the many through the centralized governance of the group intellect is always contrived, never natural as is often found among nomads, clans or authentic tribes. The higher orders of the divisions of psyche are the prominent among the dieties of theologies presenting the myths we peruse without focus in studying ancient and sometimes still current cosmologies defining reality. The dynamic effect of one such cosmology, now defunct, is said to recover its dominion over men after some time after a fixed number of transformations. Reality is properly understood to be the body politic of the human psychoemotional experience throughout a complete lifecycle, one beginning out of vacuum and returning out of abject terror and desolation. The madness of a man or a mob is its refusal of truth, the authentic configuration of mind. A viscerally charged mob is a fertile place for the planting of the individuals' long forgotten torments of their two-year-olds' lives enraged not to be able to wield with full godliness or efficacy the only just emerging and therefore pristine ego confronting the status quo. Truth does not superimpose extraneous spiritualities upon sentient spirits, actual persons, as does an American who comprises the vitality of the paradigm within his or her self by contexting the authentic values of situation with a lesser and perhaps spurious mentality contradicting with its own nature the proprieties of both actuality and reality. Equality, the essential quality of the human multiplicity, obviates the potential for error based on a trespass at this particular moment in quality with an assault on truth at truth's most vulnerable, its birth, which is out of the nature of godhead and out of which truth confronts man out of id. The perception of the non devine by the actual is irrelevent to the noumenal. Racism and malignant sexism, so stylized in America as to be supported and sustained by the noncaucasoid and the female who internalize them, shout in our faces every day the mockery of the Pledge of Allegiance and the Declaration of Independence. Neanderthal did not perceive the devine any more than most contemporaries with Jesus understood the relation between Himself and His Christness. Neanderthal, or his psyche or his way of thinking and living, continues to fail to recognize the devine. Authentic humans, the fully Cro Magnon, must come out from under the thrall of Neanderthal's club, his weapons, his clunky thinking, his big rock. Death is merely the test of the psyche of man that it recognize godhead. Godhead requires unattenuated creation and unmodulated replication ad infinitum, a function which obviates death. Neanderthal may not recognize anything superordinate to himself in the proportions of the devine, only the circumstantial; and so in failing to recognize The Supreme Being and to emulate emergence from the eleventh or the first dimension, Neanderthal or the invested mentality dies away from godhead and may not emerge from the consternations of oblivion before absolute coincidence with godhead in all its dynamicity, as may man or the wholesome human mentality understood to be the Christos or the Messiah, the anointed one, the holy one, the vital individual id: Human being. It is possible that Neanderthal learned burial from humans joining him in Europe. It is possible that he sought to preserve from predation the corpses of his fellows using methods similar to those he sometimes used to store the carcasses of prey. Believe that the Vietnamese are a high-strung and tightly focused people. The Vietnamese are, particularly among the males, high-strung and focused people. At a given point of closure, the Vietnamese perceive and respond crisply to the logical error. A logical error is by the Vietnamese perceived to be an offense to the viability of the Vietnamese or of humanity to survive the perpetuation of the error as it is permuted by the life of Vietnam. Ironicly, such irritants include communism, a kind of tiger held by the tail and grasped by persons who will suddenly be nobody when Vietnam suddenly snaps back to its original beautiful configuration. But communism served wonderfully to defend much of the world against the oversexed warlike excretia of the loins of Abraham through Israel. Communism allowed poise and armaments. The calipers of situation and circumstance are those defining for the Vietnamese the organicity of the sovereign soil of Vietnam erupted into the humanity thereof. No lesser concept of an event given form by the subjective attitude, from the personal and selfserving perspective, is allowed to compromise the integrity or the pride of the whole of Vietnamese life nor a lesser attitude allowed to persist through time. The egregious error is one which immediately brings (brought) inspection by death focused out of the global Vietnamese perception by any subset of their population or an individual. The Vietnamese are not perverse. The birth of a perverse action begins in the genesis of time where a secondary and subjective act of creativity is fostered by the willful individual bent on challenging reality with an inclusion in the otherwise noble godfunction of creation. The artifice of pride or stupidity invariably includes itself in transposed time frames or sequences or roles. Ancestor worshipers are inherently disinclined to tamper with the integrity of generating and self sustaining systems providentially including themselves. They would begin their thought out of the posture of the principal ancester and not, like Belshazzar, by looking back and beginning to "count" away from himself in making calculations which begin not with one's own godhead but with the godhead of the supreme parent toward his own situation, as in the counting of the years alloted for the captivity of Israel or "what is in it for me?" when confronted with the choice of accomodation or elimination of an incalculably superior adversary. Perversion swallowed the primordial parents of man, alledgedly, and simultaneously devoured every seminal moment however be they sequentially transpired as the principal foul-ups annotating the begats and the to have been begotten. The beauty of the use of the ploy of his name or nom de guerre, Ho Chi Minh, is that it brings full circle the identity of each person with Vietnam and of each person of himself as Vietnamese. The folkways and mores of the Vietnamese who detest to be called Annamites, their ethnos and culture are the seam uniting the interactive moments of a people with their greater relatively supernal identity. There is no diabolic perversion away from how one should act at any particular moment; there is no satanic perversion of the response of a group to an individual. The Vietnamese do not internalize gradation of humanity to their society and could not tolerate such an intrusion from a people bent on humiliating the men, demeaning the women, and teaching the children to beg. Rather than justice and decision, the American seeks the negotiations of ego out of the contexts he insists assign subjective orientation and social function in the attempt to define an adversarial interface between the self and the generalized other. The American's reality- testing and estimation of maturity requires the individual to identify himself in terms of his moral capitulations, which must display dynamic convolution of the fullest array of such concessions, that such degeneracy be highly impacted. Otherwise the person evaluated must be able to raise the dead and to bully out of existence the national peculiarity, the obfuscation of the authentic American persona. The American thought-voice extrudes itself out of the terminologies of error rather than any one of myriad other options to conform the quality of a fabulous nation with appropriate reality-testing based on other than the material and the ego centered. The majesty of this nation is to effect its function too much in that voidness of Buddhist denotation if it is not to fully potentiate and to actuate itself without the internalization of scales of magnitude and predominance over which we otherwise have dominion. But "too much" only if too soon; since the clarities of the void are the grist of American beauty and power requiring fullness of presence and completion of purpose, i.e., not writing off this or that lost lamb. The Republican Party has realized that it can heavily edit or rewrite the thought voice of the nation and is savagely working to reacquire the prerogative to do so "just one more time". Properly, each of the nation's states should have national prerogatives exercised as alloted to some qualitative division of the global hodgepodge of "other peoples" for its own independent social cadences and ideosynchratic approach to mercantilism. This approach would allow the attempt by our partners and competitors to seek to garner the optimal affinity of the American for themselves; thusly might we allow the very structure of the nation the service of the option toward which it has been so painfully, for ourselves, honed by The Almighty thusfar to begin to fulfill. That option is the rulership over and internalization of the global matrix of humanity (only). It is our option to be the sabbath of sabbaths of sabbaths. We are a nation of managers in a catalyptic slumber. We have turned in on ourselves and objectified the world itself as not American and therefore not really worth the candle. However, any number of flashbulbs: our cultural token for narcissism. America ought to dal the death blow to the degeneracy infused in man by "the beast" encountered in Europe.Were we to own the world, including and especially China who would love to unite with us as two discrete entities in synergistic and highly productive mutual beneficence, our structural and therefore inherently benign dominion would prove itself most beautiful to God as well as to man, all men. Human rights will be a moot topic when individual Americans' considerations must include with rigorous sensibility the quality of the life of other peoples our own state governments invest in, totally reconstruct, and point toward the twenty second century. So will we each be happier and more polite among ourselves besides becoming again wealthy in the proportions we deserve and once enjoyed from World War II until OPEC. However, an aggregate with great power and of whatever qualities of function or role cannot dominate individuals of pure heart aggregated in authentic principle and endeavoring toward a natural consequence, toward a result concording with the exigencies of time. This is so because time is itself responsible to eventual zeroness as well as to the fullness of the lives investing itself. Equality and freedom are reflexive concomitants under Old Glory but are personal and insular still, though they are about to be woven through the fabric of the nation, the development which terrorizes the anxious and personally ineffectual fascist among ourselves. The premise that there is a developmental psychology for the collective species identical to that we perceive for the individual except for the quality of its purchase allows that the species has a "thought voice" which must perchance assert itself to perception by the species: the Word of God. The leap in nomenclature to the devine is justified inasmuch as the paradigm of consciousness particular to the individual and his species pertains to or orginates in a yet superordinate psyche, one of a quality generally defying perception from this particular solid state, with our mechanical derivation of that which is spatial and chronologic. That a "still small voice" addresses an individual ever so much more frequently than the thundering voice a multitude, speaks to the paucity of authentic or wholesome personalities among our various aggregations. The mode of communication of a disembodied voice is understood by Christianity, Islam and particularly the faith of the contemporary Hebrews to be that of replication, an individual who totally embodies human potential condensed precisely along the timeline in appropriate dimensionality with respect to the anatomy of mind or The Supreme Being. A worth of the premise is that it breaches the blindering of the mind's eye by culturally inflicted orientations particular to ourselves and generally to our civilization. The author's patriotism is centered in the ability of mind to resolve brain death not with religious symbols and mind sets engineering poise upon entering the white light, but by being a fully experienced American. That experience is not available to ourselves just yet inasmuch as America is not yet matured to the point where she may be lived out or lived in terms of so that death is a resolution rather than the dissipation of will. The Buddhist would not take an objective attitude toward the "devine" communication as could not That Jesus Christ fellow; they would each perfect with compliance the dynamics of "infraimposition", the word a neologism for fulfilling the prerogative of the replicated to come into coincidence with the ultimate source personality. The completion of such a devine national life is devoid of ancillary content, i.e., history or memory. The range of such life is from the first of the dimensions here described into the eleventh of these; the dominion is the lateral investment in some scale of clocked chronology appropriate to any and all cathected fractals. Where the investment is zero, the dominion is all or nothing irrespective of whether or not investment had been made. Divesting and divestment inorder to relax into godhead is the lifestyle of the successful Buddhist. By the time the Christian theology effects the same statement, gibberish has overwhelmed the word sin, or the exhortations to renounce the world, or to be born again with nebulous anxieties of infinite and deadening mass. The three named religions of the west, including Judaism, are emasculated by their own micro judgmentalism concretized by violence rather than banishment, which spares the worthy and the correct among the offensive deviants and allows such to continue to contribute in the only way appropriate to truth: living the spiritual life or living life spiritually. Now this means that rather than living in terms of judgment, one lives in terms of life's own exigencies and form without deviation requiring rationalization. It means that one does fail to complete a concision of one's self awareness requisite to the transformation of one's existence into a social or communal function effecting self with the generalized awareness of at least one's conspecifics being of an awareness of oneself consistent with one's own. The meaning can be said to be the nature of a perfection optimally a personification identical with the qualities ascribed to or perceived to locate in the juncture of mind and body, heaven and earth, the fourth of the seven hidden dimensions or the heart of one. The quality of the finesse of true life is precisely that of the joining of that we call spirit and what we know to be the body into what is oneself, a living soul. The ultimate origen and the only correct direction of the living or of life is through the eighth dimension premising the specific or social integrity toward absolute godhead. This correct process of life of course requires action which never declines the positive decision to act toward every other as optimally required by oneself without the allowance of the lost or shunned lamb or duty or functional effulgences tokening the emmissive creativity of vacuum genesis uttering ever at first that naked and unfulfilled body which is love. To live life spiritually is to act out of love. Such obviation of the boundaries of personal ego is the substrate wherein envy and jealousy fulminate, where the contentions of within and between aggregates and individuals engender the histories of pride concretized by dominion and subservience or psychoemotional investment within the immature and the lost. Essentially, men without crisply formulating the perception, accuse women of acting within the pelvic girdle without regard to the otherly continuum permitted by "intelligent" negotiating of the juncture of body and mind already materially conditioned by someone outside herself as well as by those who are neither the particular man or woman nor their nuclear family nor necessarily their friends. Fortunately, for the entire history of this species, women have always reminded that god brings life and has historicly neglected the myriad stations of ego, the uninvested noumenal potentials of a once nascently omnipotent ego being the inertia stultifying man and requiring of him the companionship of woman. Without directed behavior, there is no context allowing the negotiating of justice accorded by obedience nor of judgment as required by the acting out of the orientation of an ego in the subjunctive. Woman reminds of vacuum genesis in the way that life, like light, like love, has no inertia out of godhead out of which one ought ever to act. And so mankind has not yet died out nor failed to act out the prerogatives that could prove him the god he was created to be. The thought- voice of the fallen is nothing more than the dithering of the echelons of being, of ego, no more than the negotiations of the relationships of egos. Buddhism deals with the vocabulary and the codices of life rather than the particulars of its sacrifice. The eleven dimensional universe is the algorithm of realization and the coherence which utters the thought voice of the overmind. It is curious that so many caucasoid schizophrenic Americans "hear" the voice of a malignant and low class American Negress. Among themselves, Islam, Judaism and Christianity as identified by Arabia in interaction with Persia, Jewry in interaction with Europeans (Edom) and their neighbors who include relatives, Christians interacting with all out of a posture endowed with numerous and particular natural resources and globally dominating with various forms of hegemony. These interact as body, soul and mind, respectively, and are equivalent in function with the first locale, the fourth hidden dimension and the second locale. The dynamic trio cathect the seminal persona of the species and together have a relationship with the remainder of the planet equivalent with that of the first to the second locale. The failure of behaviors to represent the perpetuation of equality among any type of equations among members of populations or societies generates a necrotic pall defying effulgent beauty. When an invalid basis for the assertion of ego out of order or by transposing dimensions occurs there is brought into effect the imperative to correction. The stress or injustice or lie is perpetuable until either love makes a resolution or the context of the true order resolves itself at eighth chakra in equality. At the eighth dimension, the fantastic or anomalous situation engendered by the perversion engendered by a striving ego simultaneously goes into oblivion or dies as the transitory or built up interactive construct vanishes at the "door", the eighth dimension. Until the eventuality of clarification, the interactions are those of war and permeate the "devine body" in every respect, though not within parallel dimensions or person nor in subordinate scales in those parallel dimensions or persons. Examples of the scope of the effect of transpositions of orders or time frames are: the Blood Libel, the witch hunts of early America, the bogey man, the perception of demons (demon means knower). The first of these depends on the mechanism founding the generation of the myth: large numbers of naive illiterate persons of one or another cultural kind are interacted by highly sophisticated and worldly others whose effects, because they are perpetrated one-on-one, accrete through anecdotes reflecting the symbological shorthand of impressions and dreams reflecting the predation of the innocent or unschooled mind by a ravenous and perhaps malignant intellect and is expressed as the devouring or the killing of a baby. The same for the witch, who manipulates the untrammeled psychodynamics, in America, of others who are young, naif or stupid and which witches are likely to be engaging in vicarious sexual activity, generally with a prepubescent male. The original or the prototype for the bogey man is Neanderthal himself. The "demon" is the perceptible, predictable and manipulable pattern of social or psychological reactivity of an individual or group such as we see manipulated by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and an array of demogogues exemplified in largest part by the political rightist of the United States. The most particular example of the transposition of the orders of power and dominion are those of the interdynamics of the genders. The riddle of the biblical depictions of the hierarchies of fleshly man and women defined in the Old and New Testaments would span the extent of creation with the principles therewith conditioned and formed in their devolution to existence. It is always true that the male includes both genders while the female is either half the brace or exclusive of the male prerogative. The prerogatives of the female with respect to dominion over the male are in terms of interaction but not of exclusive dominion. The roles of male and female or of the positive and the negative are articulated in the several sets of biblical definition, especially that one defining the discrete and seminal family out of Abraham through Jacob as Israel. More subtle but intuitively understood by every individual of the higher species are those confusions of order expending the circumstances of equality, of social justice. The quality of the transposition out of the optimal is registered in the individual's situation with emotion corresponding the dimensionalities confounded by the fulminations of pride actively denoting evil.In the natural sciences we find with the refined posture of conceptualization which is the "clock paradigm" that biochemistry, physics, mathematics and medicine are provided an attitude and algorithm affording realization and understanding of authentic and pertinent information; the principal benefit is available thereby in the investigation of the genome. The structure and function of the genome reflect and embody the paradigm fulsomely, however in the fourth fractal. The immune system functions out of the fourth fractal. The orderly relations obtaining among people and their groupings. The relations largely opaque to their scientists but are coherent in the third fractal out of which they extrude their form to which the individual and his matrices lend content and history. The personal contentments of the most private sort tend to recede from reflexive accessibility as the young inexorably invest in the mendacious world into which they mature. The clock paradigm is one which greets growth and the process of assimilation as it is understood with the special enhancements only a similarity with itself can provide. The enlightenment the denotation of which we best understand out of the East is nothing less than the conformation of psyche with its principle and is the reversal of intellectual entropism. CHAPTER 1 If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor. -Einstein "I tried to tell everybody, but I could not get it across." -Bob Dylan The qualitative and actual moment of death has already occurred in us each; and we do not all know this. We persist in "living" this Goddamned lie, guarenteeing in the process we call motion and eventuality that we are each not dead; that certain others are either dead or alive and able to cause events of scale to occur so as to be perceived by others, i.e., in the future. One who is able, they who are able, wield the firmament as a clock to effected will, because they willed, i.e., cause others to yield to a date inorder to behave as it is willed they behave, and forever. The ability to determine the detailed body language and range of experience of humans unborn for millennia is extremely easy. This is not solipsist delusion. (The "Dream Time" is a solipsist paradise.) Because of the ease and simplicity of relaxing into The Holy One, by the process we call The Christ of God, or some other equally correct denotation of reality in one of its aspects or facets affording it our perception, "liberation" is available to the individual. Understand the Christ to be the unformed, authentic, spontaneous and naked persona. The Christlike are the paradigmatic citizens of the world of the Dream Time characterized by a "telepathic" oneness or unity. "The Word" is the focus of creation and coalescence of the paradigmatic nature of the Dream Time. As often as Americans solicit the blessing of America the prayer is unnecessary. We have already been blessed. Indeed, the nation is itself a blessing to the race on a scale we do not appreciate with vision tunneled into the present. Our appreciation of whom we are and of what our range of options are is confounded by our cultural myopia conditioned as it is by brief spectacles of competition and status symbols representing compacted time and effort. As the nineties procede, we shall see the lifespan of the race laid out before us as a hellish shibboleth with no way out and with no "commercials" providing impending breaks by causing the tailoring of the story-line to miniconclusions as with half-times or the ends of rounds in prizefights. We are to live through the nineties with the disused skills of individual personhood obsolescent since the previous centuries of our national life. There is little room for the ascription of negative quality to Americans or to any individual or group. Man is evil in his ways, there is no doubt about it, but the overall pattern of human behavior is inexorable and constrained only by the tiered macrocosms of reality to a conformity. The convolution and perversity of thought and deed are the evil. Understanding of the moment and context require the evaluation of the points of decision available to the human will and to the route taken at each such point. Being as it is that one must start where one finds oneself situated and as who one is, recrimination has no value if it is not productive of modified behavior or if the analysis is an exercise in torment and not educational and remediating. The tendency to personalize the flexibilities of human conduct serves no constructive end in situations where collective compliance deliberate or passive has been supportive of the inclinations of the leader or the leaders. This is true even for groups tyrannized as well as republics of various degrees of true democracy. Naturally, as soon as it is clear that our geopolitical ineptness is bearing its hellish fruit, the "l told you soes" will reemerge from the closets of their doubt and the embarrassment crafted by their previous errors and false alarms of the apocalyptic conclusion of human existence. One cannot expect to hear from those nor to read here solutions to the predicament we enter dispassionately. It is too late for us deliberately to develop the dexterities of national personhood which would of themselves have wrought a different future available to us since the Second World War. As individuals, we may each benefit to understand the quality of life depicted by current events and predicted without chronological precision by those who correctly perceive the signs of the times: that the death of the Soviet Union is highly destabilizing and not otherwise. Bibles will have another spurt of popularity and the gist of their prophetic pronouncements will again be subjected to tortured ineffectual analyses. In their majority, these new exegeses are to be defeated by being highly contexted by a contemporary appreciation of the entire history of man since the time man and woman developed stylized relations with each other. A concordance of philosophical postures or thought forms is more likely to provide an acceptable and fluid adapting of operative but ineffectual modes of mentation to the valid than might the proposal of a singular and dogmatic posture providing no route of ingress to realization from an invalidated or limited universe of thought and mentation. This work more or less does that: it would provide an analysis of the current state of global human buffoonery and links it with an awkwardly growing and still foetal process of authentic mentation mainly tendered to the thoughts of astrophysicists or theoretical physicists and parapsychologists. The approach is fully operative in places such as Tibet, where formerly one sixth of all males had been in the priesthood from the age of seven. There are two groups of such thought forms, mysticism or magical thinking being an amalgam of the two principal modes which may be represented on the one hand by the scientist in his professional mode. On the other hand, everybody else including the scientist with this ordinary appreciation of "reality", the dictates of common sense and the exigencies of the time-line, the parameters for which the astrophysicist is selfconsciously defining for us with woefully slow progress in efficacy or lucidity. There is virtually no commerce between the information of the natural scientist and the humanist or the man in the street. Mysticism is the distortion of the experience of the subject unable to accomodate the parameters of personhood with the knowledge he has to justify and to align his intellect within the collective knowledge and wisdom of his functional social unit, his nation. The search for certitude usually conducted while staring off into space is, for all but the few, fruitless. "Right living" and certain disciplines along with luck and a sound constitution afford of themselves quiescence if not happiness. In early youth, most of us give up attempts at direct certitude and seamless cathexis of life. As we mature or get older, we look for systems or lifestyles to which we may refer for stillness and confidence of mind and heart. Unless one is auspiciously cloistered or at least immersed in a well-formed and limited population of likeminded souls, one is defeated in his or her efforts to cope with chaos and the malignancy which marbles human existence with omnipresent assertiveness. There is no philosophy nor way of life available nor known which explicitly and obligatorily accommodates the cosmological and the global or the social and the personal needs of integrated wholeness as well as the certainty of peace and contentment, not to mention indelible bliss. Even were there an explicit regimen of integrated being, one is in a dualistic relationship with it and not in coincident cathected harmony with such, as might one assume to be a contented infant in his unselfconscious and unpremised glee. None but the few among the adult and sober know true and pervasive happiness. Nearly all of us have given up on the quest. The expression, "human nature" comes of the posture of reluctant accommodation to personal frustration and befuddlement. The various escapisms are the avenues of the redirected impetus to happiness; and frustration and resignation otherwise underlie the feeling tone of the individual overwhelmed by the Goliath of the well-formed and highly articulated organic status quo one is credited as being foolish or insane to assault. Indeed, the one who strives for the idyllic or optimal is sought out and instantly recognized and "leaned on". There is the hope on the part of such assailants that the attitude of the realist called idealist has the answers they themselves nonetheless do desire but must see proven by the test they perpetrate against the visionary: the "Messiah Test". The test perpetrated, death or some form of ostracision or ridicule, characterizes the tormented fulminations of western society, it being the principal dynamic of New York City society. President Bill Clinton is an excellent example of one who has been much aggrandized in the perception of the masses by his unflappability in the face of such assault. Americans have the general benefit of the dissociation of personal financial well-being from the predations of the malignant, unwholesome government or vicious subsets within it, also from deficits of resources of the country. America is an excellent idea in a fair state of actualization. Selected defined segments of the population are excerpted from the graces of the nation while the whole is for that reason compromised in its permeation by beauty. As a whole, the single most devastating event we as Americans have experienced is our up-ending by the tiny, impoverished and undeveloped nation of Vietnam. The fact that such a resounding defeat of ourselves or our intentions could occur at the hands of that people is perplexing and has demoralized us even while we persist to see and to describe ourselves as the best and most blessed of all human history. There is a good deal of groaning and considerable displacement of frustration and rage but no analysis of the circumstances which brought about the engagement and the methods of its prosecution except perhaps by the stupid who think of the obliteration of the people of Vietnam itself as a victory easily attainable but for some reason deferred. Even though we are individual Davids confronting the Goliath of the defacto quality of life and being, we had until Vietnam been able to identify with The United States of America as a Goliath inert in the face of all challenges. We were each as Americans somewhat denied the refuge of our national identity in the face of impotence, failure and the oppressions of wickedness and hard work. We, in Vietnam, became the victims of overconfidence and the unattended to perversions which fed on our cockiness to the end of gratifying the exigencies of an array of hidden agendas, these still not confessed to the populace. Individually, we had put our psychoemotional eggs in a national basket with no bottom. American military prowess is the single most important item in the array of our assets of which we had been proud. We can or could whip anybody. We are safe from invasion. No one would attack us without committing suicide and, in the case of the Russian imperial entity, not without killing off life on the entire planet; although several "kills" launched against the United States would obliterate human life, even if the assault went unanswered. It is not clear that we have dealt ourselves a deferred slow death with the production of nuclear munitions. Wormwood in Russian is chernobyl. There are nearly thirty million veterans among us and war has thrice birthed us as a nation, in the instances of the Civil War and World War II as well as the Revolutionary War. War has at least escalated our stature in nationhood. The persistent depression of our national feeling tone in consequence of the refusal to heed the counsel of Dwight D. Eisenhower, that we avoid ground war in Asia, leaves us perennially dissected to the point where more than the dynamics of the political motivations for the war may be inspected. We ought to ask and to ascertain just "who are those guys": the Vietnamese. We continue to think of them as we do of "our Negroes", who can be and have been whipped, broken, and permanently put in their place, this to the end of excluding the ineffectual European-American from the unpleasant niche. The negroid American stupidly describes his plight and scars as AfroAmerican culture, yielding to the vitiating diffusions of the babble of sociology's nomenclature and declining the term "American". The seeming chaos of our military is attributable to the cognitive motive within which the individual service-person acts, and from which the civilian observer is estranged. Subjective chaos therein perceived is the ramification in the military person of the perception of continuity of personal effectuality construed for orderly demonstration only by the cognitive posture held within the Pentagon's functional oligarchy. This is a lordliness among those likeminded leaders resolved through a reality-testing transacted by the principal military clique who, among ourselves American, are obliged to have experienced raw combat. This subset is an inbred male-bonded psychoemotionally as well as socially and culturally configured group, by virtue of their typed interface. These individuals observe a carefully honed subjective "attitude" the which would be the escutchen on their armour in the eventual surrender by them each to death or to God or to the fear of either. This sense of chaos is the consequence of exclusion by the confounded by reason of the different and likely to be less well honed mentality of the civilian, except such as obtains in relationships among parents or biological kin reared in intimate familial or gender-based liaison, or the satyr among satyrs. Chaos is the definition of the perception without certitude by the confounded subject of the circumstances pertinent to his or her various situations and to his or her life. The martial lordliness with somewhat cathected vigor is in its quality equal to de facto dominion expressed among ourselves as well as between ourselves and foreigners. The quality of dominion goes as far as to afford power. Power would not be lost due to the absence of the fallen in battle. Place is made for the surviving progeny also those who otherwise might well have been and for whom place is nonetheless made by well- intentioned fascism. The fascism is no different than that of the male ape displacing another whose children he beastly kills out of a newly acquired harem. The soldier's lordliness is defined by its volitional determination of the concrete and perceptible effect of the United States of America among its peer nations, as well as the nature of the experience of aggregate America by any given citizen. The option to critically effect "others" by exclusion or decimation is among ourselves not held in abeyance. This intramural betrayal is of the context wherein fascism would justify itself in the nation. The prerogatives of the fascist, perjoratively defined by virtue of his negativity and spurious and clannish ideosynchrasy rooted in the ancient proclivities of certain familyways and bestiality, are limited by his corruption. The nation, not only shunned subsets, is attenuated. The national context of the option for fascist identity, also lordliness in its pristine form, permits the optimal but especially anything else than optimal. However, because of the plasticity of the noumenal aspect of how we define our national mentation, and the general circumstances in which this, again: only nascently and relatively wealthy nation allows us each to live and to live blindly in love of and in enjoyment of the dirt and the climate of which we are each a vivified assertion illuminated with breathed oxygen to be America, any good or noble person can live up to and become the heart of what makes an American one of us. This is understood by those who would be majesticly delinquent and unregenerate; it is their torment as ineffectuals. The benefit of fascism to the individual is the magnification of his ego to the dimensions and to the effect of his particular social subset, authentic or contrived. Also, fascism serves its own with insulation from the emotional assaults of a pervasively hostile and atomized nation. Fascism centered on race has the effect of not only buffering the bonded individual but of providing a vector for the displacement of ugly tendencies held somewhat in abeyance among the group. Fascism or the formation of subsocieties is one way of coping with the unprincipled masses who render the individual impotent. The uniformity of the nation is indexed by response patterns to artifacts or to honorifics or to job titles and to physical appearance. The conformity is seductive because there is greater regularity in the way a society fails than in its adherence to principles which are natural or profoundly altruistic. The perception and acceptance of the social cauldron is graded as maturity or wholesome "adjustment". There are fewer options open to the individual confronting not others but the vagaries of mind. Realizations, dreams, feelings and simple curiosity about life, the lust for indelible contentment to which the former seem to lend clues for its grasping, are the sort of objects manipulated in often hopelessly unschooled meditations. The sense of being overwhelmed mentally is both puzzling and tormenting since the individual is spiritually his own entire community even without the internalization of "significant others" or any others. Any type of distraction will do for a while. Any type of mental posture will do for a while, especially if it is coupled with some activity or intoxicant. Prolonged isolation is for many an excellent balsam since neither others nor the ideosynchrasies of the social matrix stimulate the unschooled mind to flail in impotence for want of a consciously grasped master paradigm that perfectly accommodates social being. Mind, a kind of nothing, is a formidable Goliath nearly none have the pebble or mote to fell. All American heroes are those who appear to be Davids who have defeated the Goliaths of poverty or anonymity or some Gordian Knot. Our national sense of grandeur and beauty (envy by others) strongly tempt us to identify with our collective self and to attune thereto our wills and esteem of self. It is easy for an American to identify with the nation and its attributes in episodic or perennial absolution of the personal ego. No American may compare with Marshall Tito or Chairman Mao. Those two did not seek to regulate unity but to craft it from great chaos. Certitude is a thoroughly personal and subjective quality of experience. The sense of the stolidities of certitude begin in the perineum or the base of the spine and fills the body from there. The sense of certitude is defined by the three omnis of potency, presence and awareness and is reminded to us by the orgasm. To dwell in certitude, one must seal the consequence in the brow where it anneals to personality and subsequent mentation. There is a crude expression once used by U. S. Marines: "Wire your balls to your forehead", which demonstrates the intuitive grasp by mean men of the nature and necessity of the poise granted by certitude required of one trained to charge unhesitatingly straight into the muzzle of a machinegun suddenly chattering close by. Certitude defies the temptation to quizzle during a span of time of any duration. Certitude requires no premises, premises such as those of the equipment and the firepower of the U. S. military and which were removed as bases for our confidence by the Iraqi air force to some extent: it withdrew itself to nonexistence, and grandly by the Viet Cong who also "wouldn't come out in the open and fight", except for the Tet Offensive which broke them militarily. Knowledge is said to be power only because to say it is certitude is awkwardly tautological. The diction put to the principle hints at the characteristic behavior of the predominant over those unapprised as much as it suggests the ability to perform work in the sense of work as defined by physics, measureable and quantifiable progress, which domination does not denote. The philosophically expressed frustration that man has not been exploring deep space for the past five hundred to fifteen hundred years is consciously derived from the perception of the use of knowledge for the purposes of construing social and economic relationships rather than to mature or to restore the relationship of the species with nature. Displacing the providential potentials of science is the rapid manoevering to place a large rock against the pate of one's fellow man while simultaneously avoiding the same fate from befalling oneself and one's "own". CHAPTER 2 A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the companion of your walks. -Thomas Jefferson As long as there are sovereign nations possessing great power, war is inevitable. -Einstein Probably the equation between David and Goliath is the most appropriate to a description of the violent and defining interaction between the United States of America and that tribe which is Vietnam. Probably too, the best terms to describe the society and culture of the United States are belialist or Babylonish. Explicit labeling of the Vietnamese requires terminology other than belialist; for their size, they are Davidian; for quality of their social assets, they are Goliaths. Immediately prior to departing for Vietnam, American military personnel were provided with a manual detailing certain qualities of the culture. The quirks and taboos of Vietnam were enumerated or synopsized. Unfortunately, the majority of that since upgraded army were functionally or totally illiterate. The serviceman was encouraged to refrain from economic and social activities which would over time be counterproductive to the fraction of the Vietnamese we professed to seek to deliver from Marxism-Leninism. In the degree that the US government was disengenuous in its declarations of political ideology, the American soldier was left totally ignorant of any guidelines to interface him auspiciously with the Vietnamese on a one to one basis. Vietnam never expressly forbade whoring and drinking as do the keepers of holy lands we have raided since. Concerning Vietnam, the ability of the United States' government to perceive the nature of the task to which it committed the flesh of its sons is genuine. It was always clear that there was no way to impose the will of the United States in a situation which allowed no purchase for any material resources brought to bear. This was the meaning of the expression, "The light at the end of the tunnel". When that expression was again used in a context that infused it into popular memory, it was a deception. The saying was first stated by J. F. Kennedy as a high improbability, given the amorphous nature of the Vietnamese in assessments of its national qualities; that is to say, we were unlikely ever to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Johnson's, "we can see the light at the end of the tunnel," was an unselfconscious equivocation afforded him by a contrived estimation extracted from overabbreviated army intelligence projections. Clearly the ability to define the practical potentials of our adventure based on sound psychological and sociological assessment had been operative. What the military really meant was that in the first two years of a required twenty we could kill so many males that we would make headway. After twenty years of bludgeoning and manipulation, the Vietnamese could be expected to have forgotten who they are. They would be more tractable and not produce fighters from the south, the Viet Cong. Vietnamese life expectancy was then thirty seven years. The Vietnamese are a tribe, to which cathexis is inherent, not a cathected nation nor a nation at all, except for the mechanics of international communications and the size of their population. The Vietnamese are a tribe of winners and do not perceive nor do they realize the world as would a nation, a term bandied about by the quasieducated ethnically AngloSaxonized Yankee who simply could not and cannot yet understand what was being said to him by Europeans, that we not project our prejudices on the Vietnamese. Europeans cautioned us that we had meddled in a domestic dispute. No discussion of the cultural anthropology of Vietnam would have served on the homefront to enhance the spirit of our intervention; the insights contraindicated intervention on bases excluding that of meddling. Naturally, we wanted to "blood" our troops who were otherwise sitting on their hands. Moreover, the principal antiwar forces in the US had had an agenda much longer than could have been guessed from overt expressions of intent and the confidences tendered to secondary groups and the population at large. The antiwar creatures thought in terms of the omnipotence of the US Denial of Vietnam as a "rice-bowl" to Communist China was high on the agenda of U.S. policy makers and atop that of the North Vietnamese politboro. The Vietnamese had a singular ambition. Sovereignty. The ordinary person and most of the remainder of the population of its south and all of the north had no thought of any goal other than the unification of the country apart from foreign presence. They are as old as Israel but have never been "broken" as a people, the thousand years of Chinese occupation during two especially long periods not withstanding. In fact, the retained adaptations to the Chinese occupations were those which contributed most to the viciousness which wrung the Yankee out of their country. At the core of the self preservative mechanisms defending culture and blood and ethnos from debilitation and mongrelization is the "Ho Chi Minh Syndrome". This terror inducing behavior is based on the vigorous response to any kind of trespass of Vietnamese mores and folkways, malignant alien intrusion. Ho chi Minh means, "he who loves only his country". The Viet Cong called themselves Viet Minh, nationalists. Torment producing trespasses are not suffered by Vietnamese, nor most other Asian cultures; this posture is indicated by the bowing and the placing of palms together we see so often. The behavior indicates respect for the pride and ego for the other. This quality of society is pointedly absent from Saxon or American society and from the Grecian society described by Thucydides and corrected by Pericles. This was a Davidian love and was absolute. A Vietnamese woman who took to western dress or hair styles could be shot in the head in the streets. Any rudeness or impoliteness was punished by death. Any injury to the emotions of a Vietnamese, especially a woman by a foreigner was punished by death or the death of one hundred of his comrades wearing his (American units') insignia if the individual offender could not be tracked and deleted. Any Vietnamese who hesitated to die for Vietnam or any other individual's human dignity was killed. It is asserted here that there is an absolute relationship between the devolution of the express personality of the individual citizen and the evolution or integration of the national persona, one that is apparently that of inversion. Further to be investigated is the global context of this development in terms of the species passing through developmental stages in its aggregate as an integrated persona. What the deliberations on the interaction with the Vietnamese seek are insights to the nature of the principal function in the global growth process which function is asserted to be epitomized in the United States of America, itself an interpolation and reexpression of human history on this planet, man and his society, as is an individual man in his society, with ourselves nested among commonwealers and their aggregate mentality. So engaging was the conflict in Southeast Asia that it depicts the detail of the two principal protagonists most succinctly. The affair was an interplay of light and darkness in which it was not to be our American role to shine. Needless to say, many GIs died for the reason of their habituation to behaviors based on the acceptable rudeness and cruelty of American society afforded and nurtured by its perversions oriented in the main to the excerption of the negroid from the national gene-pool and the sharing of the nation's wealth. Our national vulgarity and insensitivity to anything female is to have cost us in Vietnam one and one half trillion dollars, the ultimate cost of all expenses and benefits payable because of that war. The Vietnamese parallel the simple, chaste and sincere David chaffing under the insults of an arrogant and God-cursing Goliath. The so-called Jewish sciences feed on the carnage engendered in and by such a society as is this and others of low and inconsistent moral stature. For five years after the war there continued to be no mental disease in Vietnam. Shrinks are fond of saying mental problems are found everywhere in every society. The analogy between Vietnam and the USA, on the one hand, and David and Goliath or Israel and Philistia, on the other, would depict little more than a situational interaction between two seemingly distinct spiritual signatures out of an array of possible or extant tribal or national personas, whereas the contemporary facing off would seem to depict the efficiencies of resolve over the blusterings of the mighty but dissolute. What is brought to bear on the battlefield is to be more fruitful to the understanding of the dynamics of the human drama than an attempt to trace the ontological genesis of the respective protagonists for the sake of attributing historiographical judgment to either parties of the pairs or to the encounters themselves. What both David and the representative Vietnamese brought to expression in their actuations of the nature of their respective characters was selflessness aside from the internalization of the group persona to the libidinally vital individual, an archetypal hero who in turn acts out his quality in a circumstance given texture and context by ego defying impediments, by the impossible. What Goliath or Philistia and Joe Blow or the United States bring to the face of reality, in actuality to the faces of the victors, is the glory of rage expressed where its attenuation as deference seems moot in the light of confidence in dominance. This latter duo present to deny death, each, by personal submission to the malignant dominions of a type of society construed about the studious and gratuitous use of violence at every point of every human interface or situation. To one, this manmade form of omniscience and omnipotence is highly stylized and succinctly engendered by the contrivance of one man, Nimrod; to the other, the root is so obscure that it is said to be human nature by Joe Blow, who is blind to the "devil" he would claim "makes" him behave to the detriment of his presumed national persona. Joe Blow visits into the national repository of experiences physical and economic and psychological and emotional violences and negligences which stymie and capitulate his own ego in subordinancy. "It must be in the wind", Joe whines until such time as he has some sort of whipping boy who allows him to outer the rage of his injured pride without fear of personal domination from without himself nor from within his fascist numbers. The American male ever seeks to prove he has never been cowed. The Vietnamese under Ho did not whine with this sense of personal impotence. Nor did they act in ignorance of what they were undertaking by luring us thither. Ho Chi Minh said to his Politboro in nineteen forty six, "Do you want to eat five years of American shit or would you rather eat one thousand years of Chinese shit [again]." As a leader of Vietnam in Davidianship, Ho behaved oppositely to the sum of the twelve scouts taken one from each Israelite tribe in the wilderness and sent into Canaan to "spy out the land". When these returned, all but two were terrified to attack the titanic (ten to fifteen feet tall as well as populous) peoples there. David himself compensated the reputation of Israelite manhood with his singular act of courage and unselfconscious (godlike) purpose of pride which did not wilt through the time elapsed until he came onto the battlefield unarmoured because he did not know how to wear nor to use the garb of war. Goliath had nothing to defend. The Philistine (Palestinian) had, as always, carefully observed the Israelite. They knew that the degeneracy of Israel, with respect to the exigencies of its theological credentials and purpose, left it open to rectification after the usual fashion. pre-Revolutionary Israel was periodically prone to predation until God-fearing leadership asserted itself to Israel's amelioration and temporary redemption. It was the gratuitous God- bashing which did in Goliath. The delicious toying with Israel, the roaring, was excessive to the point of consuming the mandate to chastise Israel. That is to say, the Gaza Stripites undid the basis of their mandate with the bald- faced stupid majesty of their arrogant strutting. The mandate was available therefore closer to the root cause of the extant situation: the secondary expression, in this life-form, through Israel, of God's own nature by means of His slowly and awkwardly maturing image in the flesh. Thereby, David was able to rise to an occasion consistent with the purpose of all creation. The Vietnamese is strongly inclined to stand up for his personal dignity. He or she is not culturally nor ethnicly nor socially nor spiritually nor mentally nor linguistically permitted to defer resolution of egregious insult. Unlike ourselves, the Vietnamese know no thirteen stars, feathers, stripes, arrows, tribes, nor thirteen tenses of grammar, since their language is synchronic and uninflected. The Vietnamese is pretty much all of his or her self all of the time; the stylized groveling of the Anglo-Saxon conferred upon the negroid American is absent from the character of that people. The American knows no such liberty. Rather, we tend each to swell in culturally schizoid fashion to fill the situational repositories of power with our personal egos and to flaunt authority; albeit the authority of rarely supervised Joe Blow in Vietnam was his personal weapon. The American typically assesses the artifacts and the prerogatives of institutional or brute authority at his disposal as he calibrates his belialist posture. The authentic American personality is not a viable one beyond a sharply defined affinity group: but before God, inasmuch as an individual who is a natural leader but who is accoutered with skill and clear purpose appears to be walking on water, as it were, and is renounced in all but the small and sharply defined affinity group, his personal society or his fascist bonding. The small statue made of chintz is not one likely to cause the American knee to bend. No totem incapable of causing and enforcing all of the defeats and slights imbibed by ourselves each is to be perceived as a reliable respite from our social shibboleth we call, "the real world". Except our flag, it valued more than the Republic infested by the negroid. We the "hollow" American are so easily put to quake and to shudder by the one who appears to have no visible means of support nor defense and who is filled with the intangibles of love, vitality and justice. I.e., U.S. attributed to Ho Chi Minh intense Soviet guidance and counsel above weaponry and equipment and refused to allow that he could be a genius because such a one is "only" an individual and is "nobody" in U.S. as he had been perceived in France. While in France to petition Vietnamese independence, Ho was ignored while France militarily reasserted its prewar colonial prerogatives. A functional American "value" is that any given individual is "nobody" unless he has the option of unnecessarily trespassing the personhood of another with impunity, a buttress to the criminal of every kind and criminality itself. If none others, local police do act this out routinely. Americans refuse to recognize that the principal "role model" for too many negroid males is the sick cop! In Korea, some GIs would menace and shriek insults into the faces of our hosts who, often not understanding what was being said but only the attitude, would bow, palms together, and back away. At a certain distance the Korean would turn away and suddenly place his heels against the chin of the offender, usually killing him. Subsequently, the Pentagon instructed that one should never raise one's hand to a Korean nor come within six feet of one in hand-to- hand combat. The Pentagon says no GI has survived hand-to-hand combat with a Korean. The love of arrogant bullying inclines military veterans to police work. The mousepiss nomenclature of sociology serves only the livelihoods of its practitioners. It serves the ambition of its principal propagandist, Claude Levi-Strauss: to fend profane attitudinizing which conduces to and which serves Jewhatred. This ploy is shared with Dialectical Materialism and psychoanalysis as well, inasmuch as Marx and Freud also sought to create universes which precluded identification of and malignant orientation toward the Jew. Freud had an ulterior motive of vengeance against gentiles who collectively had repressed and personally humiliated his father. The motive of the former was to enhance his father's conversion to Christianity by creating an economic universe with no niche for the stereotypic Jew. None of the three professions concertedly addresses nor counsels the nation, a dead giveaway to conspiratorial or functional subterfuge and opportunistic feeding. What is called anti-Semitism is really only the identification of the Jew with the sick qualities of western societies as a focused example of them and an historical cause of them through moral failure compounded by a special instance of alledged regicide. Belialism, as mythologically or theologically or figuratively depicted is an inherent quality in this global example of our species and is the paradigm displacing the optimal American social contract. Belialism seems to be associated with a tendency to utter a peculiar form of disclaimer, "what's in it for me?", "the woman did it", "the serpent is to blame", "Am l my brother's keeper?", "What have we to do with David, he is your kin" (the House of Israel to the House of Judah in a confrontation defining the sides prior to the tax revolt that followed the death of Solomon), etc. Until the genius of Nimrod was applied to the institutionalization of the right of the hordemaster postulated then rejected by Freud, the world was simply a vexatious charnel-house of backbiting individuals, families and clans. Nimrod initiated and institutionalized the ritual murder of firstborn humans. In doing so, he made the first successful go at an indelible civilization. His work underpins what we disparagingly call "human nature" and is the brick and mortar of western civilization, the codices of Greek and Roman governance notwithstanding. It is fitting that a pocket of relatively pristine humanity should be the foil depicting by contrast the actual belialist nature of the American persona; and that that people should be so small and seemingly unendowed. The Vietnamese had God in their then pure hearts and, in that conflict, on their side as well. If the United States has overcome the blues engendered by that war, it may have done so by having set up a "straw man". Nevertheless, we trounced the physical plant of our own primordial societal mother, the present day denizens and guardians of the land of the seemingly defunct Babylonian Empire. Like certain abused children who come to realize in their perennial suffering that they were deliberately endowed with the compromised mentality which keeps them struggling ineffectually for peace of mind, we have taken our vengeance to its source. We have closed a kind of loop. Still, peace is not ours, nor shall it be in the near future. Peace is not the bed we have made. Furthermore, we continue to hesitate around the world because we are in fact emasculated by Vietnam, a matrilineal society. While in truth and in fact we were not defeated in Vietnam, we were undone emotionally and economically; though not strategically where we found our rationale for meddling. We were spared strategic dishevelment because there is and had been no strategic significance to Vietnam aside from tactical and propagandistic oneupsmanship. The Vietnamese knew us from our films. Typically, we were perceived as gun-toters who "draw" and shoot on the occasion of petty slights and wicked impulses. Knowing this, they had a tendency to do the "bushwhacking" and "backshooting" first. The Vietnamese stereotype of Americans is that all American women are whores with large breasts and that all American men carry guns and ride jeeps or carry guns and ride horses. In violent nonmilitary social encounters with isolated GIs, they tended to win every time; although no fewer than four would attempt to mug a lifetime of McDonald's or Burger King wrapped in olive green. In the macrocosm, we seem to have closed a kind loop with our experience in Vietnam, a loop that has brought our nature closer to fruition and to ripeness. It does not occur to us that our national degeneracies have already brought us some judgment and punishment. The European also voices impressions and they are more valuable for the reason that the European has not only drunk from the same cup of western civilization, but is as well a cup from which we have drunk. Thirty years ago, Europeans were disgusted to see that they would be frequently counseled not to have sex with the negroid; that so as not to diminish the imagined psychological force of American racism upon the despised, by behaving in a normal wholesome fashion with all members of this species while in the United States of America. Many more negroid Africans went to Europe than came to U.S. Where are they now? Nowadays, the European and especially the British respond in grander more highly articulated fashion to our peculiar persona. We are, they say, a nation blessed with artifacts delivered of God Almighty but are ourselves trash. That is the proof that the way we live must come from above, for we are not a people who could have generated the stuff of this nation. Even we are astounded by the intellectual beauty of the common soldiers of the Civil War as presented in Burns' film on the subject; we are impressed by their articulateness and the scope of their spiritual sensibilities. In the seventeen hundreds, some Europeans and Jews saw us as the biblically promised birthright to Manasses. Babylon deleted from its numbers all who would contest the absolute dominion of its spiritual founder, Nimrod. It was he himself who would fill the arms of the prototypical madonna originating in Africa. His Big Lie was that the embraced infant was the one the obedient mother would eventually be able to keep. He caused all who came under the sway of the priestly cadre of enforcers to suffer and to rage in the same way. These people, whose behavior defines belialist (worthlessness), were naturals for dominating prey peoples since they tended each to be emperious, obnoxious, as had been the British and most other "ish" peoples. Prey peoples were obligatory to Babylon inasmuch as the women of Babylon twice planted their feet in such a way as to incite their own murder by the males who then ravaged other societies for replacements. The social rigors of the British educational system had internalized to each a dual mentality of subjugator and subject. Such conditioning allows a small number to interface domineeringly with the manipulability of the less keenly honed many. Psychological regularity provided by glaziers and foundrymen and other implementors of technology on the isle were just as important for their contribution to the sameness of the individual's internalized Limey experience.The honing of the individual Babylonian was complete for its permeation of every aspect of individual and group life. A population of disarmingly harsh and pointedly domineering and prepossessing individuals can easily displace those qualities of a culture not rooted in intergenerational attributions such as those communicated in the domiciliated nuclear and extended family. Like the emasculating and pride breaking police of the American social catastrophe, Nimrod's priests, called Chaldeans after Babylon's domination by Assyria, soon tired of fishing in barrels of victim peoples. They took to capturing the remnants of their warfare and relocating them solely for the sake of weaning them of their deeply rooted cultural and spiritual qualities with enforced alienation typified by the removal of the House of Israel (by Assyria) and subsequently the House of Judah, (by Babylon). However effective this ploy may have proved to be over the course of many such transpositions, the effects on the two sets of "the promise of Abraham" are conditioned by the seminal nature of human identity as reinvested in Israel crippled as the two houses under separate regencies. The one, Israel, was stripped of all but the essential familial qualities of the wholesome authentic national persona. The other, the House of Judah, was imbued with the belialist's array of psychoemotional torments while left equipped with those codices framing the essential qualities of the wholesome authentic national persona, but only in writing. It is noteworthy that the latter of these two is devoid of the delirium of union with the devine on the personal level. As with the U.S. in Vietnam, more so however, the encounter with the Babylonians had touched the Judean so deeply as to depict the dynamics of not only the affected group but of any thusly constructed population in similar eventuality. Judah depicts Babylon as mentality as well as historical entity. Like Lucifer, Judah fiercely worships God. Like Satan, Judah refuses (refused) to serve man. To the extent that the extrusion of the United States' ego into the dynamic interplay with the Vietnamese was able to foster the introjection of the affect about which we each have so much to say and with so much passion, the nature of the event depicts the makeup of the collective psyche American. In our typical analyses which are our highly edited and corrupt histories of our western selves, the nations born of or expressing what we call western civilization, the "First World", we imply definitions of ourselves which never approach the personal unless the circumstance or event under focus is a military engagement or spates of creativity or mechanical invention. We do not account for alien conditioning of our overmind if that effect was presented by untoward military performance or a distinct gene-pool such as the Magyars. We speak of western civilization without the context of the global domain in civilizations have their interplay and fulsome array of orderly qualitative relationships which in turn demand acceptance of a unified principle rooted in the identity of the species. We interpolate such ignored function as "other" in a nethermost context of national expression and discuss the specific in generalities termed "worlds". The transpositions align the belittled noumenal qualities of our species on this planet with the nationally and personally idiosyncratic rather than with the authentic cathexis of the wholesome mentality of this species, or the natural. Thereby miscreant Saxon thought subsidizes delusion subscribed to by many and the group entire. Apart from the fulminations in Eden, the natural posture of this species is not actualizable. This is due to certain moments in our development prior to and as Israel thousands of years ago having been "missed". We did not focus on the authentic to cathect lessons to have been derived from a personhood we had not then acted out, nor lived in terms of with sufficient diligence in numerous enough instances. We did not obey enough to turn the tide for the entire species or interactive segment bound to dominate and to pervade and to subsidize the id of the species as we depict it from the full range of human potential in narrow singular quality of life we bestow upon ourselves just here on planet earth. Nor are we likely to redeem ourselves through any conscious volitional undertaking in these the latter days of biblical reference. The natural life is not permitted the individual because not only is the principal mentality in terms of which he acts invalid for reason of having been depreciated, aside from its declension out of supercontextual noumenality, but divisions and perversions have been all along adopted to practise and have confounded vitality with the challenge that it cathect this lie or cause death to be life. Death is very much a function of quality. One may go to bed hungry, dream of eating and in the dream be satisfied. Upon waking, one is hungry. To avoid awakening hungry, one may die in sleep. Alternatively, one may awaken and breakfast. Awakening inorder to gratify the drive is useful only if one has the skills and provisions of the kitchen or the larder. One may awaken destitute in a doorway or under a bush. One may awaken only to drive into a telephone pole; or awaken only to realize one has missed part of a lecture. One may awaken to the context of a predicament, situation, status or reality itself. To the degree one accepts functional concordance with the particular context into which one awakens, one avoids a paired aspect of death. Complete interface in awakening is complete immortality. Self realization is total consciousness, however self be citizen, parent, a nation, a gender, or the animator of a process or duty in one plane or another. Death is the quality of the ignorance of the categorically supernal. The process of death is philosophically and subjectively the process of regression from the failed concidence with an ascendant category of personhood. Ultimately, these categories are dimensional in nature which is to be beyond the order of the scales depicting individuality and layers of aggregates of aggregates or groups of populations. The death men fear with all their hearts and all their minds is not the death of social ego but the death of competence to place the firmament; lack of competence to fathom the orders of the heavens from out of the timeline while it is in its vanishing extent beyond order, beyond item, beyond multiplicity, beyond interaction, beyond fluidity of union, beyond the density of the singular and material personhood we gaze upon in our infinitesimal smallness and see as firmament, the "heavens". We would not quit our scale of sentience so that our own atomic parts become our world and our molecules our own heavens but first seed and womb all over again in the cyclical restoration of scale mystically reported to be unnecessary to the competent creatures living above the common perspicacities of our human scale. The natural life is relegated to being the dream of the aspiring individual in his quiet moments of introspection and wonder. The natural thinker is required by "law" to be an infant or a nubile woman in heat (Heinlein's "pithed slut"). The natural thinker must verbalize that his attitude is subjunctive to some negative category among the ephemeral and that he is trying otherwise to entrap other individuals into acting in terms of an impossibility and a foolishness. The natural man, detected, is forced to defend himself by willing the corrections of the mind of historical man and thusly to prove the preeminence and beauty of his thinking and then to disappear. Otherwise he must grovel or demonstrate defense mechanisms or somehow justify "legal" excoriation before assaultive attention may be dissipated. This is an interpersonal algorithm initially declined from the state by the finaglings of that Jesus fellow. Ihknaton, a Pharoah, is said to have beaten Jesus to the punch on that score, but Ihknaton's doings died with him while Jesus, The Christ, over time has generated tens of billions of subversives undermining the Babylonian establishment, and the way of the beast, Neanderthal. This preconscious awareness of the intimidating "other" among the spawn of western civilization is repressed to allow a curious consciousness that we are each godlike embodiments of the producers of the best qualities and artifacts the human race is evolved enough and willing to produce, that we ourselves each are at the cutting edge of evolution if not the edge of intelligence. The subconscious mind keeps the preconscious mind alert to the fact that the conscious mind is lying and will cause them all three to die: i.e., "malaise" as opposed to "let's hear what's right with America", a snarled invocation by people too hostile to be able to think clearly enough to speak articulately enough to say themselves exactly what that grand rightness is. In America, this cultural hubris is appropriated to "whiteness". The divisions and perversions are the circumstantial and situational recapitulations of the de facto psychoemotional decision tree of Homo Sapiens as we mature in disarray for want of the pristine into which to unleash the DNA and the cerebral cortex, i.e., to be resolved in sourceless light. We are ushered by the corrupted conformities of family, society, nation, language and culture into an infradimensional cul-de-sac of emasculate capitulation furnished with presumption and supposition. We are indeed fallen. The so called "worlds" do not correctly designate the authentic triad. The three principal civilizations are perceived as races or regions or collections of or lack of artifacts. The Buddhist names the cathected triad a fourth entity. The Jewish Kabbalah details four such niches. Authentic knowledge of this most pertinent sort has a way of "slipping the mind" of all but the generally ascetic few. The nature of man is descended or regressed to clannish or somewhat larger scales of idiosynchrasy. The interactions of the global components of human approaches to order are the individuals' struggles for emotional integrity in the context of each civilization. The temptation to further oneself along the cul-de-sac and to ingratiate oneself to others policing conformity is rewarded with stasis, not stability nor harmony. We are ambient reflections, not effulgent plenipotentiaries of life's majesty, obviously. Nevertheless, we face the clock and bludgeon our way forward a heartbeat at a time and sigh about every three minutes. The flower of human being, the intellect, is, with the social mechanisms, crushed in the negotiations of pride and shame. Effective vitality has been coopted by the state as authority, by its principal clans, its oligarchy or leader (who must perforce be quintessentially vulnerable on every account but her or his physical health and therefore tend to afford excessive discretion to his armed protectors). The state would act in terms of the dominions of civilization. The multiplicity of states or nations is such that for any one nation to operate the prerogatives of a context within which it actually lies, the nation must be configured in terms of the offended principles transposed in our ancient ineptitude, our wickedness. The corruptions of the species or the subsets are the mnemonics to recover the principles therein conserved. For each of the global aspects of man's personality, the civilizations, there are individual structural quality and characteristics befitting its interactive role with the others. The principal and principle nation cogitating on behalf of the principle or dominant civilization must have the formatted qualities of the entire human race on this planet, past and present and unconceived, interpolated to itself among its cohorts as its structure and its internal relationships. That nation must also actually dynamate all the functions of human history, though this not in the least as that hypothetical nation has the prerogative of acting perfectly and thereby catharsing the species on this planet. That nation, this nation, displays its democratic prerogatives only in the vortex of the myriad interpersonal encounters defining the emotional matrix out of which the individual must rise in maturity to contribute to the national accretion of poise. Americans itch to experience the great reawakening of the national genius internally, in general prosperity and community. Our geopolitical clique spurns the notion that America has such potential. Our mythological selfassessment points us to World War II for testimony and reassurance. All we really find there is the skill of the leadership and the quality of our institutions and laws. We see the fatal flaws of our enemies. We do not find the fire of the nation of champions we deem ourselves to be. The testament and reassurance are available from study of the Civil War, but we associate that event with the manumission of the negroid chattels almost exclusively. We have a national catch-22 of wishing each to live in a society which requires nothing but the cessation of footdragging, of interpersonal sabotage and gratuitous hostility, particularly on the part of the authoritative or otherwise empowered in various local situations. We see how easy this would be, to approach the idyllic, but are confronted by the belialist who must know what is in it for him. We find the lout who perceives the suggestion of even bonded altruism as an invitation to hand over his own testicularity or adulthood. This perceived invitation the belialist will not accept to exchange it for the working option of generalized vengeance directed to sets or individuals confronted out of the generalized other, behavior professionally condemned as mental disease. However it be that woman has limited experience in social direction other than such examples as are the Vietnamese, or the women of Tehuana, Mexico (they led the charge onto the beach upon which Napoleon's marines had landed and killed every single one of them), or the Cimerian women who killed all their men returning in flight from defeat by Romans in hot pursuit and then hanged themselves from trees with their children hung by their necks from their legs, she concerns herself with other subjects of immediate practical importance rather than how to control the attitude of others so that one may generate self esteem when looked at from another's point of view. This inertia or depression contrasts with the Vietnamese willingness to brain a child to test a potential perverter of their own ethos and their own personhoods. A father will walk up to a group of GIs, lift up his son with one hand by the hair and while carefully studying the faces of the Americans he will pass a bullet through his son's cranium. Any sign of intervention by the Americans means their immediate death, if possible. The son in this demonstration died a free man and for his country, not because of his country as might the GI. Were we to return to Vietnam today, they would whip us again. The proof is in the continuing cowing of the American population by its own collectively filthy police; and the inability of a nubile American, sober, to walk up to a likely man and to look him in the eye and to say exactly what she wants in crisp language. The Puritan fathers provided for such a woman, remember Priscilla and John Smith, and for authentic justice too. We stand polluted, defiled, distracted, in every way diminished. Our schooling function is thwarted. Nevertheless, we flounder in harmony. We seek authentic personality in leadership. We tend to forget Priscilla. The time of our testing for this quality of becoming beautiful is upon us. The test must be of womanhood, personhood, not nationhood. The test of the principal nation of the principal civilization on the planet is to be in the terms of the fundamentals of the sublime into which we as individual citizens must birth ourselves. We must be able to recognize and to conform with that singularity in which are hierarchically nested the laws governing the existence of the mind of man. The human race is about to be judged for the quality of its metaintelligence as defined by the eversion in each of the beauty of every health it must itemize in the reality-check with the seemingly nebulous but quintessentially perfect context that is mind. It is mind out of which this human event is itself extruded from the potential into the actual. It is mind that must be completely and absolutely brought through time, lived out, consciously lived in terms of and deliberately. Can America save mankind? Or, can America redeem what was lost to Nimrod? Can America extirpate the folkway of Cain? Can America assert itself a Garden of Eden multiplying social grace among the nations, pervading a fully civilized world, accommodating each and every who are or were and those who are yet to be? Is America to wick out the onus of the selfperpetuating heart of the physically defunct Babylon, designed by a man to feed on humanity, incinerating hundreds of millions of babies by its own hand, with its mind causing to be incinerated ever so many millions more by proselytes. Can America resolve the debt of having caused so many to be crushed so completely and so many to suffer in the same way identically inorder thereby to acquire the authority to audience and to address what is here called the nested contexts out of which the species on this planet is designated to exist? Can America say, "This is not my voice": to be heard in the bedrooms, highways and byways of the nation and beyond? Can America say, "Babylon, you are not my mother, and l am not your child"? Can America deny itself to be a surgically correct Babylon with respect to its nascent, hesitant, pregnant madonnas ever voluptuous in attitude? Whether or not, woman has been functionally superordinate to the male for the last two thousand years. This latter being an explicit realization of the Vietnamese and a biblical declaration in the person of a scarlet clad whore inebriated with human blood and directing the society of western civilization, the "beast". The number of Americans who may complain of lumumbaesque "negritude" is much less than the number of us who may complain of having been "sexed" by an uncle a brother or the father and who therefore suffer most keenly, thirty millions. Poised for assessment in clarity and light ("Urim and Thummim") for clarity and light, America has made the de facto choice operative: to recapitulate the misspending of opportunities for declension of willful mentation to the actuation of environments, in now the individual is beholden to the tuned and predatory mob at the institutional behest of the hordemaster. Does America want to save anything other than its own oligarchy? We don't have to. We are only a buttress to focus at the imminent nexus of evolution of the race. Well, yes. America can be no better than its paradigm. The function of the model nation America would be is absolutely to be effected by our collective volition. Were it required that America number fifty or fifty thousand god-honest and beautifully endeavorous souls so as to be spared incineration, we would make it with a landslide of tens of millions of adults to spare. Still the question is whether net American persona is to be judged by its expressed volition rather than impotent voices and subsets within our population. We must act out the content of our intergenerationally transmitted character, we must eat the entire lamb, we must drag the sacrificial bull's stripped and eviscerated carcass entirely up onto the alter, we must hang on a cross we have wrought with our nigglings until the intercostal muscles and the diaphragm are exhausted. Then only might we begin to awaken reborn into that great day. Then Ivan would nuke Joe Blow while he prances under his laurels. So might we just begin to pay the piper what we would not pay the muse. The scapegoat is led to a fate unknown to the remaining but not to total oblivion. This other America, this ideal America does have its sway. We somewhat coincide with the ideal in actual and historical functioning and are correctly structured in a kind of parallel to the master paradigm. There is some national satisfaction of our role in resolving the assorted faux pas of our global human history. However minimal the difference between the requirement of the particular ideal and the deeds done in gratuitous beauty, between the optimal and the dribbling shell of the characteristic chastity insinuated by our most noble colonial forebears, the Puritans, the difference leaves us subject to a judgmental echo in this consciousness out of which we now despise the foresight of our national forebears. We can find, however, a tipping of the hat if we identify ourselves with the British soldiers of WWI who were described by German generals as "lions led by jackasses". We shall pass through the clear light of justice uncathecting and not remain. Justice is to be paid as justice had been due. Not to remain essential under the weight of uneverted authentic behavior is the nature of ethereal justice; to remain to die as one had lived is the province of the world in which we live by the sword, between ourselves and others and among ourselves, the United States of America, is our selfassigned fate by negligence. The world is not going to end as if it is to be sucked back into the mind of God anytime soon. Jesus Christ nor any thing else expected by whomever is not going to do more than to frighten us and set us upon the path of industry in a manner which will allow neither detour nor digression. Thanatologist's (Asian) reports of the loss of intellectual faculties in death refer to the voiding of memory and the mentalities contriving them. The sense of loss comes by reason of there being the vanishing digression of invalid mind face to face with the timeless. The attendant fear is the loss of confidence in mentalities we shall not then be able to recollect. The experience is due to the expression of godhead in the spirit of the individual otherwise seeking to observe or to dominate godhead. That messianic path is as long as our ancestral and national neglect is boundless, but is bounded by the extent of our bounty of goodness above our God-given perfection in serving required functions alloted by nature and the optimal. We don't fit into a heaven any more than a heaven could fit into us through all our "firepower" and excellent surveillance, our Psychosocial defenses and our psychoemotional assaultiveness. America had not been required to fall on its face to have been able lucidly to guide the world aright by example and providential dominion. We volunteered because no one of us anticipated nor anticipates still that the path is to include personally dashing one's face upon it. We consciously and unconsciously anticipate each to escape Armageddon from a graveyard. We expect to appear in heaven without having to get there, without having to undergo the ego dissolving transformation. Personally and preconsciously, we expect to escape judgment by remaining in the middle of the horde. Death itself is not traumatic. We take comfort among the still camouflaged hellions who subjugate us when and inasmuch as our minds have and betray their unfamiliar natural configuration. We are with the world's nations as we are with each other and because of each other. We are what we are to mankind in all his stages and functioning because we are construed and structured to that end which is life and not death. A nation of Cotton Mathers would not need the dunkings we deserve. We are not, as a species, lost nor a kind of lost cause but have taken a longer and more arduous route to the actualization of our nature. A point long ago, passed on a clock of which we are apprised but are unaware, had allowed for "rest" from the shibboleth, the group affected, Israel, having then, but only in potential, come to the basis upon which the Jesus fellow would have been recognizable and welcome inspite of the past immoral prosperity of contiguous and already destroyed Babylon. Babylon had expected and recognized Him even though it helped to seal the confounding of Judean percipience simply by being there to be sought out and imitated. As a nation, the American would not owe the debt incurred by the ancient peoples who have sown the chaos we find implanted in our own core, we simply owe the exercise of the attributes we have put in writing and force our children to repeat over and over again in primary schools without the benefit of detailed instruction in the mechanics of good manners and cultured or stylized "presence" in the Republic: the Pledge of Allegiance. The global debt had been owed by Adam reincarnated as Jesus Himself. He paid in full, or so the Christian and his books do assert. The debt is the responsibility for all error which occurs in time. Our debt to authenticity or to justice is sharply contexted by the temporal bounds of our existence. Our potential is absolute and apart from our existence in a world with a debt to wholesomeness subsequent to the artifices of the progenitors of western civilization. The first black pebble of the three categories dispensed in judgment, two black and one white, is for not doing the good, for negligence. The nature of judgment is the knowledge of the quality of life lived in full coincidence with its transpired opportunities to beauty, the continuum of effulgent love. Babylon reopened and widened a life-deep wound in the global feeling tone. In doing so, that Empire ramified the chosen domain of human orientation and will. In embodying the nature and efficacies of civilization as we have chosen to replicate it, a function declined out of the ether, we are nationally paired against the diffuse extant affect of Babylon and may weigh against its evil with the advantages of great numbers and the intensity and frequency of the actions of contemporaneous technological man. The second black pebble is merited for evil deeds. The one white is due to doers of good. America is not a reassertion of the Babylonian identity but of the Babylonian's transient set of choices: and these concisely formed as the theoretical society we are generally able actually to enjoy. The first pebble is earned by not having done the good with all due deliberation and commitment. We may cancel three thousand years of Babylonish aggression and hell continuing of its own focused momentum for another three thousand years through the present. * * * * * * Reports to the author by hundreds of Americans and a good number of lesser creatures indicate that most have gazed into their own foreheads to see life without digression into inanity. The male has brought little to bear to ratchet himself to coincide with the perceived qualities of godhead. The female sees more deeply and seeks or wishes for a social environment in which to unfold angelic quality. Females do not seem to seek a partner to this end in marriage, only to context themselves or their parental endeavors. Men seek to be able to disburden themselves of networks of cautions and standards protecting against nakedness and castration both social and intellectual. Most of the human social problems come about from perversion in one-to- one interface. There has proven to be no particular subset among Americans which can escape dishevelment by not allowing that stylized interpersonal degeneracy affecting individuals of any other real or artificially contrived subset is the affair of the particular subset as well. It is the mechanics of wickedness themselves which demand to be addressed. It is the rationalizations of inaction which also demand to be addressed. Aware as we are that there are stylized approaches to personality, we pinion the variously differentiated to observe nothing less than squirming and to enjoy a vacuous and transient relief from the goads of transpersonal degeneracy pervading the authentic as well as the confabulated social sets of this nation, all of us. Stylized variance in personality bespeaks corruption in the defined aggregate. All true national variance ("diversity") is accomodated by the fifty states of this union, period.The most highly articulated of the globally distributed social personas is that of the Anglo-Saxon. All of the dynamics of this national entity are stylized in actuation so as to conform with the psychoemotional ruses of the unspontaneous other-oriented Anglo-Saxon. There is no dither, nor slap, nor any play in the society; and the fuel for the temptation to misbehave is addressed in America by Calvinism as the essential folkway of this nation. Guilt is institutionalized in an unwritten codices excepting the confounding and seemingly opaque Holy Bible. These moral standards are resented by the individual self-conscious Jew and puzzled over by the otherwise alien who if he is fully apprised of them cannot but despise the perfidy of Joe Blow and be awed at the global, national, local and personal disasters such perfidy engenders out of and within this, the crown jewel of human endeavor, the United States of America. Further, there are the beautiful who must resent the isolation they must live among the cautious and the armored. Remember David approaching Goliath without armour nor defense of any kind and being described by God as being "a man after my own heart", also because of his fervor for Israel as well as for God Himself. Such is the roadway which must be continued upon however clumsily. America cannot but act out its principal and obligatory role consciously or otherwise. It is this determinism which underlies the modicum of forgiveness or release constituent to sentient existence. Not only must the country have a nature which is a replica of the lifestream of the entire race, but the replica must dovetail with the consequence of human eventuality and do so orderly in the terms of the intervening contexts of language; civilization; the arena of civilizations and their exemplary nations of which for its own context of civilization the ancester worshipping Vietnamese are one; the nature of the integrated species' nexi of maturations or evolutionary stages; the nature of this creature, man; the role for this entire species in the noumenal context of multiple actual exemplars among whom it no doubt does number. Appropriate to conceptualization of actions and effects and relationships of the macrocosmic intergenerationally perpetuating devices pervading humankind is the use of analogies with actual or imagined sentient creatures. The human being, does not anthromorphize God but images God in all His dimensionality. The human individual is by steps to evolve from the image to the fact, as is the species. The use of intelligent beings to describe subtle functions and qualities of principal aspects and facets of a population's history and psyche are ridiculed by a civilization which prides itself, wrongly, as being mentally born of the ancient Greeks. That people said more than most grasp with what we simultaneously cherish and denigrate, the myth. The use of life forms to depict the functions of another life form is retained nowadays toward and by children and among vituperative or lyrical adults. Much impetus is voided by the thinker turning to some form of intellectual opportunism which distracts a philosopher from aspiring the complete impression one must have to benefit the effect of realizing comprehension of life's opaque conundra. As with the physiology and electromagnetic signature of the individual, so too with the global population and its intelligible nature. The use of the device of such analogies also much magnifies the utility of language beyond that of mousepiss to fathom personhood and its epidemiological displays. The injunctions against using images among Jews, Christians and Moslems is valid since the retention of a parental posture toward the created tool defeats respect for the role of the Almighty as creator and true father. CHAPTER 3 He is a liar. -God Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. -Jesus War is good clean fun. On the active grounds of a good-sized arena of military combat, each in its midst is a sphincter thinking of humanity. One is truncated top and bottom. The beauty of the pertinent is the only light. Psyche is focused at the tactile and the viable. Fun, cleansing, and providential is war. War concretizes and renders efficient the service of its own propitiation. It may seem that were it not for the sword, there would be absent from our present historiographies the delineations of our characters as peoples and cultures. Nations would form without being able to inform themselves of the sway of their prerogatives or to define their characters. Nations would not perceive their realized choices. The nations would be altogether discrete in identity and would make local interpolations of civilization. There would be no global voice of man. There is no assertion any which states that man was of a single mind at any time in past, the biblical premises and laws of population genetics and the notion of archetypes notwithstanding. Each nation would perhaps evolve its own "City of God". Without war, Abel (herdsman, nomad) would have chirped ineffectually into silence and would have extended himself into the remote future Cain (agriculturist, city-dweller) knew he could forbid for him. Of course, the period before the "fall" of man defies the axiom that man has been forever scatterbrained. That period, the Dream-Time, out of which man fell with bone- chilling terror, seems to have been characterized by a telepathic but sterile or static harmony. God in the Old Testament says he leaves heathens ("ragheads" or Arabs, belialists, Philistines) in Canaan to "test" Israel, how its manhood will perform in war. Understanding the quality of Israel's conduct of war as it came out of the wilderness is most useful for understanding the nature of the evolution with which this work is principally concerned. The Vietnamese astounded us with their ability to move around the battlefields with seemingly telepathic efficiency of coordination, like a school of fish, each man knowing exactly what to do without speech or radios. By default, there is this Jesus Christ business. This fellow Jesus, said to be Adam reincarnate to be chastened for his sin with the justifying experiences of His (standard social) frustrations and torment and slow murder, which he [sic] deserved, is the contrivance of nature impelled by reality to effect an authentic voice. However, the voice of this person, Jesus, fits only the heart and soul of a species which lives in terms of its ultimate quality, not a species which has been subverted to the end of the personal wishes of any one individual by either effort or neglect. Jesus had been required to live in the world as though nothing had gone awry and as though the tree of life had not been ignored by our stupidly negligent primordial forebears: Adam, for Christ's sake; and Eve, for the sake of the birth and quality of interactive "society";
