Then screw the absolute standard of goodness. Let people decide for themselves what is wrong and what is right. That's what I generally call individuality.
The degree of personal responsibility implied by individuality
and the penalties for mistake are so great
any premature assumption of that right
is disgraceful,
A child freshly weaned at three years
needs a standard of goodness to focus on
and since they are naturally superstitious
to the invisible forces of Nature that surround them
it is wise of the parent to tune in to these currents of energy
and encourage the child to tread carefully
and not think or act destructively
and thereby not evoke adverse reactions from Nature
Nature out of self-preservation
imposes an absolute standard of good behavior
DO NOT TRESPASS
I have tested that superstition out on all eight of my children
and it has worked like a charm
Every scratch, bump, bruise, bite,
occurred after they have made a trespass
sometimes the reaction came within seconds!
The net positive psychological gain was
THEY NEVER SAW THEMSELVES AS VICTIMS
ALWAYS AS ACTORS
and never came crying for sympathy
By age seven every one of them was entirely self-policed
and tried their best to obey an absolute standard of good behavior
by puberty they were already adults
and never needed another day of parental supervision
They are full adults now
and not one of them believes in coincidence
or accident

God, Devil & Freewill
Quote
The believer and the skeptic are even. Now, can you deal with that?
I you were a betting man you would know
they are not even
the odds are with the believer
If the skeptic is wrong about God, he loses his bet
If he is right he has no way of collecting his winnings.
Quote:
MM, if you are really a thinker, a philosopher, then you ought to consider all the possibilities involved in such speculations. God might exist, very well. But he can also be just a projection of our own natures, a product of our imaginative inquiries.
No man can call himself a philosopher
until he has passed through both gates of Heaven and Hell.
He must experience the ecstatic height of eternal life
and horrible abyss of total annihilation
and from that pilgrimage into the self
determine his world view
I take my hat off to the satanist
who would face the putrid puss of the abyss unflinching
but I will not embrace him
The believer and the skeptic are even. Now, can you deal with that?
I you were a betting man you would know

If he is right he has no way of collecting his winnings.

Dogma
I have two female friends
I like them both
for they are sincere in their beliefs
One is deeply religious
a devout believer in God
and life hereafter
She believes in the Holy Scriptures
to the letter.
The other is firmly scientific
a complete atheist
who will argue relentlessly
that there is no such thing as God
or any life after death
and lives a life devoted to empiricism
If I was to marry
seeking someone
only to be a mother and housewife
I would marry the religious
knowing that she would be a loyal wife
and loving mother.
If I was to marry someone
only seeking a practical partner in the business of life
I would marry the scientist
knowing that she would be a reasonable wife
and encouraging mother
But in free choice
I would marry neither
for both are fixed in dogma
and have no mind of their own

Global Economy
Environmental imperatives
have always dictated our social contracts.
There are natural laws of non-trespass that all living organisms (other than parasites)
are subject to.
During the Stone Age
family groups of hunter/gatherers each established their own territorial boundaries.
Those boundaries were determined via a symbiotic arrangement with Nature. (Their annual circuit around their territory had to allow time for plant and animal recovery.) This determined the size of each territory -larger in arid regions and smaller in clement regions.
Population increases resulted in a gradual migration up Africa, into Europe Asia and the rest of the world.
Over-crowding in more fertile regions led to the invention of on Agri-based economy
Clan boundaries were established
Clan Agriculture led eventually to national boundaries, craftsmanship, and an industrial-based economy.
National over-crowding led to imperialism and international colonies and high-tec economies.
We are now faced with globalization and the end of man-made boundaries
The global economy of the future will be based on independently managed eco-boundaries,
Each eco-system will be determined by its own water tables with its economy based on the optimum uses of sustainable resources. Trade will be based on surplus production.

The Evolution of Human Consciousness
Africa is the common homeland of all mankind.
Africa also remains the last living repository of precisely what went on in our prehistoric periods.
The San Bushmen of the Kalahari are among the last remnants of our Stone Age culture.
Rural tribal Bantu groups are among the last remnants of our Bronze Age culture.
I spend half my life studying both the San and the Bantu tribes and have constructed our entire forgotten past from those researches.
One can argue that I am making suppositions.
That is true.
But I have reason for faith in my interpretations
Decades of direct experience on the ground among those surviving cultures, clearly reveal the social organizational imperatives that forced both family group hunter/gatherers and clan group agriculture's to remain within prescribed survival parameters.
Comparisons with existing shamanist practices as far apart as Siberia and North America with those practiced in Africa, tend to confirm basic Bronze Age cultural similarities.
From these researches I have defined the following.
The Stone Age is defined by Hunter/gatherer family groups who survive via a social ethic of meticulous sharing, and an intuitive spiritual sense that Nature is a conscious organism, jealously guarding against destructive trespass. They are all Animists
The Bronze Age is defined by an agricultural existence, extended family cooperation, oral-based communication and clan totemism.
Ancestral worship is practiced via the medium of psychically gifted shamans.
These fundamental social and spiritual realities are the the common prehistoric denominators that guided the development of all human cultures.
It is from that common foundation that all Iron Age nations were formed and developed individual script-based industrial organizations.
All of that prehistoric development is lost in all but the remotest regions of the world.
Three early English pioneer colonists were witness to the federation of the Nguni clans under the despotic rule of the warlord, Shaka Zulu, in the late 18th and early 19th Century. Their surviving diaries describing that momentous event provided me with a clear window into the exact moment a Bronze Age culture came to an end, and how an Iron Age of national organization began.
The on-going survival of a ruling dynasty also reveals why the need for and introduction of orthodox scriptures were a national imperative It made me realize that by learning the mechanics of grammar via scriptural missionaries, the precise spiritual stimulus was created to sustain conscientious craftsmanship as well as engage the human intellect in abstract reasoning, necessary for a further Age of scientific determinism and religious protest to arise out of the Iron Age.
Thus the Iron Age is defined by national industrialization with conscientious craftsmanship religiously sustained by orthodox Scriptural observances
The Steel Age is defined by international colonization, scientific intellectual self-determinism and religious protestation
This logical evolutionary progression of human development through four distinct Ages of mass changes of consciousness is common to all developed cultures.
With the introduction of the nuclear theory, which explains the relationship between orthodox religion and the reasons for protestation, all indications are the we now face a 5th mass shift of human consciousness into the formation of a Nuclear Age Global Cooperative, with us all involved in sustainable planet management and practicing an ontological form of spirituality.
If you are interested, the exact circumstances of my research can be found in
Psyche-Genetics - The Metaphysical Implications of Human Evolution.
If you PM me I will give you the link.

It is Time to bring Incest out of the Family Closet
The taboo against incest began
as a clan custom during the Bronze Age
Virgins received a high bride price
This assured paternity
and helped to cement clan alliances
The hold-over into modern times
makes no sense
keeping incest in the closet
is causing untold harm
Thousands
if not millions of families
are forced by law
to live lives of fear and shame
because some damn fool geneticists
a century ago,
interested only in laboratory statistics,
stated that a small percentage of incestuous offspring,
might suffer some form of genetic disorder.
And what I am saying
loud and clear
so that deaf ears might hear
Firstly:
The whole of species evolution
is founded on incest
it is therefore
not even remotely unnatural,
Secondly
healthy parents
no matter what their relationship
will beget perfectly healthy off spring
and unhealthy parents
not matter what their relationship
will beget unhealthy offspring
Thirdly
the law against incest
is unjustly and cruelly punishing the innocent
for no sound reason.
It should be put aside
and allow families
to come out of the closet
and live normal lives
I would like to know what anybody with some balls
has to say about all that.
