HUMAN BEING XXVIII

(Acting, Thinking, Believing, in the Patria)
My dearest Khalid,
The Four Pillars of Earthly Life
We will now continue to illustrate the scientific parameters
a n d philosophic paradigms of Nature a n d
Society, of Intellect a n d Reason, of Thinking a n d
Thought, within the framework of the Patria, giving our usual "concrete"
examples.
As stated elsewhere, and being extended here, the four major pillars on which "human life" is edified in the Patria are: Acting (Body), Thinking (Spirit or Brains), Believing (Soul) and Hoping ("Heart" or "Love"). For the time being, the first three, the Body, Brains and Soul, which nearly everybody who considers her/himself to be a "human being" supposedly claims to possess, concern our topic today. Here, the above terms are to be understood in a patrian sense; our connotations were elaborated in previous lectures.
Holy Soul, Holy "Ghost"
According to patriarchal, patrian logics, only "human beings" (i.e., if nanobots are not yet implanted into their physical brains) have a personal "body" which "thinks"; religious, theological metaphysics takes a step further - it even claims that every "human being" is essentially a "soul". The body is, in the sense of Plato, just the tomb of this precious soul. In this case, thinking, theory, especially philosophy, are irrelevant for eternal, divine soul-bliss. Some "atheists" even deny the very existence of this soul, or even of the "human spirit", and furthermore, they do not even want to hear anything about the Holy Spirit, for them it is a Holy "Ghost".
Vulture Melodies Mixed With The 5th Symphony Of Beethoven
For the mechanical materialists who give Matter absolute sovereignty and hegemony, there is no difference between the rattling of a train and the prattling lecture of a philosophy professor, or between the 5th Symphony of Beethoven and the melodic noise made by starving vultures, devouring a dead donkey. In a strict sense, for them, all these fall in the ambit of spiritless, thoughtless doing, acting, pulling and pushing.
Different Nuances, The Old Potpourri
As we can note there are variations of the central pillars of the patrian edifice; there are different nuances, mosaic formations, potpourris, but all of them stem from the basic assumptions elaborated above; also in previous lectures. Without them, there would be no Holy Bible, no Hollywood, no Ten Commandments, no Encyclopaedia Britannica, no Disneyland, no Slave Trade, no Seven World Wonders, no World Bank, no CNN, no Pope, no Global Village, no factory, no dustbin, no computer, no nanobot, no quagmire.
All the above are based on Acting, Thinking, Believing, are the labour products of this Patrian Trinity; they sustain and reproduce this "essence" of "Man". How Hope and the Pope, Love and the Dove, Charity and Popularity are still added cum grano salis to this formal-logical ideological labour concoction, we will illustrate in later lectures.
Exemplified
I act like a man.
I act like Rambo.
I am a man of action.
I think like Einstein.
I think like a man.
I believe in a bright future.
I believe in my successful career.
I believe that Father Christmas will
bring me precious gifts.
I hope that Jesus will
come soon.
I hope that I will get
a job.
I hope that one day I
also would receive some cute nanobots in my brain.
All these are expressions of the pipe-dreams, nowadays the bodybuilding dreams, produced en masse by Father Commercial and Big Brother Globalization.
Not Everything That Stinks Is Skunky !
This does not mean that everything in the Patria, including ourselves, is rubbish; this does not even suggest, no matter what the ulterior motives really were, that the roads and bridges which colonialism had built, that the Pentium, Netscape, Yahoo Messenger, and wbs chat, which Bill Gates or Bill Clinton have financed or praised, that they are all "666" products, and that they do not serve for our own Praxis a n d Theory AND Emancipy. Not even the imperialist world languages can be thrown to the cats and the dogs; but we have to be giga-immunized and ultra-protected to resist their lethal, mortal and fatal radio-activeness.
Shoe-Polishing, Brain-Washing
Of course, we are infiltrated, indoctrinated and manipulated by all these patrian elements; by action, in the service of economic exploitation; by thought, which suffocates our own "I" and "We"; by belief, which reduces us to emasculated corks tossed around on the Capitalist Ocean, just hoping for a bright future, for love and happiness in the Hereafter, starting from today, continuing tomorrow in the Patria, and ending at the feet of God the Father; how we love, we adore, Our Father, Paternoster, Padre Nuestro! Of course, this shoe does not fit everybody, but we are not immune to the daily shoe-polishing, shoe-brushing, brain-washing.
What Is To Be Done? So Much To Do, So Little Done !
Furthermore, as stated elsewhere, we do not hate the Patria, we do not launch "diatribes" against "human beings", we are part and parcel of this misery, we acknowledge it, we identify ourselves with it, within it, without it. We have no condemning or moral approach, we simply want to investigate, to know the flowing truth of our "earthly existence". Whether we like it or not, the Patria is an intrinsic element of History, of Emancipation. Like History, the Patria is not a gift or creation of God, or of the Devil; both simply are a n d exist AND excel within/without Cosmos a n d Einai AND Nothing. To identify them, to understand them, to know them, to be part of them, to participate in them, to transcend them, that is what we are attempting to do, across all our Web Sites.
Transcending the "bicameral mind" and "consciousness"
Our intellectual capacity is not developed to perform
such a miserable formal-logical (or even dialectical)
ideological "thinking" to which billions are subjugated for millennia;
also our activities and actions are maimed by exclusive surplus-production
for the wealthy "We's" and "I's". Physically our alpha and omega
is not to labour, to work, to act for patrian production. Furthermore,
it is a "disgrace" "sacrilege" and "blasphemy" to reduce the Bezug:
Nature a n d Society
to an egoistic individual, to a "human being", to a genuflecting, praying,
adoring nincompoop, when it has the potential to superceed, to transcend,
to surpass itself in a zillion ways.
On another occasion, we will deal with Belief, Hope and Love, the Special Gifts of the "Holy Ghost".
Love,
Franz.
