In preparing my first collection,
The Matrix Revealed, I made the following side-note:
"In the dialectical view of history, you have a force that gives rise to
its opposite. The two forces then compete, thus creating a third new
force---which gives rise to its opposite and competes with it, giving
birth to yet a new force, and so forth, on and on, as the process
continues. You could visualize it as a series of triangles piled on top
of each other. This dialectical analysis has merit, either as a
picture of how history operates, or as a portrait of how history is
intentionally manipulated by elites. However, it is incomplete. It
doesn't tell the whole story. It's a kind of shorthand. What it leaves
out is the most important thing of all."
Globalism fully intends to create one integrated planet under a
top-down, locked-down political and economic management system, backed
up by coercion.
In order to achieve this goal, as I've written before, the notion of separate nations must be eradicated.
The primary goal of the provoked chaos in the Middle East and parts of Africa is: redraw that whole territory
and push waves of immigrants into the West, primarily Europe.
Re-work the population-demographics of Europe so no nation looks as it
once did. Flood the continent with immigrants. Drown traditional
cultures and ethnic identities. Eventually, make it easy to have a
nationless Europe, broken from its past.
Consider this Globalist operation a dialectical force. What it gives
rise to---its opposite---is a reborn resistance of groups formed around
national and ethnic identities, traditional and even ancient cultures.
You can see this happening in Europe now.
Whether you like it or don't like it, it's taking place. This is the
coming struggle of two forces. What they will give rise to---the new
force---is open to analysis and speculation.
But for many centuries,
something else has been happening in
Europe. Something vitally important. Its progress has not been even.
There have been severe setbacks. The "upward trend" has been anything
but smooth. You can trace part of it by studying the declining power of
kings and the rise of "rights of the people." This movement has not
been a church. It hasn't been a single unified group at all. It flared
up in England, France, Germany, and other countries, died down, and was
resuscitated again, in stronger forms.
It eventually took on clearer features.
Its substance and goal was the emancipation of the individual.
Freedom, liberty, choice, power---at the level of the single human being, not the group.
And along with that freedom was the tacit and necessary conclusion that
the individual could create his own future and existence, apart not only
from a ruling force, but also apart from any tradition he did not
choose to adhere to.
This was heady material, to say the least. It was revolutionary on
every level. And it wasn't popular with any government, or any group
that looked to the past for its identity.
Nevertheless, the "movement" advanced. In many cases, artists paved the way. So did certain philosophers.
---The free and independent and creative individual---
By the dawn of the 20th century, that idea was firmly entrenched.
The problem was, most people couldn't handle it. Particularly the
creative aspect. The implication was rather staggering on a
metaphysical level: the individual invents reality.
This concept wasn't backed by any establishment. It didn't rely on
ancient myths of cultures. It didn't merge with religions. In fact, it
stood against the unthinking Group.
The concept continued, and continues, to exist on the margins of society. It is not part of the ongoing dialectic.
Its power is considerable, however, since it derives from the fact that the individual is,
at his invisible core, all these things: free, independent, creative, and powerful. Come hell or high water.
Understood in this light, he does not enter into the dialectical
process. He does not automatically give rise to his opposite. He
doesn't dive into the machine-like production of history.
The individual endures.
He can and does form relationships, of course, but not at the expense of
his own mind, spirit, psyche, intelligence, imagination, and creative
power. These are not auctioned away.
So it stands to reason that his dreams and solutions and answers and
enterprises and battles are not bound by predictable patterns. He is
the ultimate wild card.
Time is very long. As the dialectic plays out, struggles, and
transforms, the individual will, as always, stand at the center.
After all, the machinations of opposition are, unconsciously, about
him. He, in his free state, is the goal. He is where history goes, and
departs from, with its waves of avoidance and embrace.
Each time the wave breaks on the shore and sweeps away, it leaves a few
more free individuals, who have awakened from the trance.
The social creature called Man concocts more and more reasons to forget
his essential nature, but the individual, stripped of amnesia and fear,
returns to himself.
Taking stock of his capacity, he embarks on a voyage of creation.
Reality and history, such as they are, provide a mere perspective, out
of which he emerges.
If there are great myths, they are of his own invention. He is the poet of his own consciousness.
This is the signal of an authentic new dawn.
There are some people who hear the word CREATE and wake up, as if a new flashing music has begun.
This lone word makes them see something majestic and untamed and astonishing.
They feel the sound of a Niagara approaching.
They suddenly know why they are alive.
99% of the world has been trained like rats to adore systems. Give them a
system and they're ready to cuddle up and take it all in.
Maybe you once saw something truly free that didn't care about
consequences, and it blew you away and turned on your soul's electricity
for an hour.
CREATE is a word that should be oceanic. It should shake and blow apart the pillars of the smug boredom of the soul.
CREATE is about what the individual does when he is on fire and doesn't
care about concealing it. It's about what the individual invents when
he has thrown off the false front that is slowly strangling him.
CREATE is about the end of mindless postponement. It's about what
happens when you burn up the pretty and petty little obsessions. It's
about emerging from the empty suit and empty machine of society that
goes around and around and sucks away the vital bloodstream.
People come to the brink, and then say, "I'm waiting for orders. I'm
looking for a sign. I want the signal that it's okay to proceed."
