THE EVOLUTION, STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
8. A Neuro-muscular Politic: Defines the Eight Freedoms and the Eight Controls.

Towards the end of the sixteenth century, Giordano Bruno aroused the groggy world, asking it to fling its mind far beyond the planets. He Speculated that the cosmos extended to infinity - without an edge.

This is itself was not so shocking; but Bruno went considerably further - he postulated a multiplicity of worlds; suns and planets with life, unseen companions for the race of man. He toyed with man's conception of himself, for this, and for magical claims and political entanglements, he was burned in 1600.

Politics is the externalization of emotions; mammalian, musculotonic behavior mediated by the emergency (sympathetic) nervous system to seize or defend territory.

There are four levels of terrestrial freedom, four conditions of servitude, four levels of social fusion all related to the basic mammalian mesomorphic drive to get "on Top." There are also four neurological freedoms which characterize post-terrestrial existence.

  1. Biological, Viscerotonic Freedom to protect one's life and health and the Constraint of actions which threaten the cellular survival of others. Personal health. Public health. Access to vital supplies. Expression and control of violence.
  2. The Territorial Freedom to maintain one's living space and to move freely; the Constraint of intrusion on the living space of another or the control of the mobility of others.
  3. Technological Cerebrotonic Freedom to manufacture, possess and use artifacts and to transmit symbols. The Constraint of using force to take the artifacts of others or to censor their symbol systems.[1]
  4. The Cultural Freedom to select one's life style and socio-sexual role. The Constraint of interfering with the courtship styles, mating rites, impersonation styles, and domestic mores of others.

These basic larval Freedoms and Constraints define the muscular politics of material, Newtonian, terrestrial One-gravity existence.

Next we consider the politics of time.

The politics of extra-terrestrial, Einsteinian existence concern the Freedom and Control of energies within the human body, within the nervous system, within the DNA code, and within the structure of the atom.

  1. Somatic Freedom to control one's own body function and sensory input. The Constraint of interfering with another's bodily function or sensory intake. The Constraint of imposing involuntary stimuli on others. Specifically this implies the freedom to ingest any drug or food and use any erotic stimulation one wishes and the Constraint from drugging, torturing or erotically stimulating others without their consent.
  2. Neurophysical Freedom to expand, accelerate, control one's own nervous system and to broadcast and receive electronically. The Freedom to migrate from the planet. The Constraint of interfering with the brain-reward processes and the neuro-electrical transception of others. The Constraint of interfering with the extra-planetary plans of others.
  3. The Genetic Freedom of all life forms to live and evolve into symbiotic fusions. The Constraint of actions which threaten the evolution of other life forms. Specifically this implies the freedom to conduct genetic research; to facilitate one's own evolution and symbiosis. And the Constraint of genetic research which hurts, manipulates, enslaves or genocides other life-forms.
  4. The Nuclear Freedom of all life forms to attain fusion with metaphysiological intelligence; to conduct nuclear particle research. The Constraint of actions which use nuclear energy to threaten the lives and evolution of other life forms.

Exo-psychology defines eight levels of Revolution-revelation:[2]

 8. Nuclear Revelation (quantum time)
 7. Genetic Revelation (DNA time)
 6. Electronic Revelation (brain time)
 5. Hedonic Revelation (body time)
 4. Cultural-sexual Revolution (hive-domestication power)
 3. Technological Revolution (mechanical power)
 2. Political Revolution (musculotonic power)
1. Violence Revolution (viscerotonic power)

Exo-psychology also defines eight social groupings:

 8. Fusion with nuclear structure
 7. Symbiosis
 6. Telepathy; cyborg fusion
 5. Somatic fusion; tantra, nature communes, space colonies
 4. Cultural-ethical groupings (hive, tribe)
 3. Technical-professional-occupational groupings
 2. Political-territorial groupings
1. Bio-survival groupings; military-medical
[1]This book is being written in prison under the well-publicized threat of assassination by extremists of both left and right. This manuscript has, at best, an even chance of getting published. Exo-psychology is not an armchair philosophy of abstractions; it has been forged in the dangerous realities of larval existence on this planet.
[2]Revolution is change or mutation in material externals. Revelation is change or mutation in neurological-extra-terrestrial energies. Revolution without revelation is tyranny; revelation without revolution is slavery.
