The Individual vs. The Goo

The Individual vs. The Goo

(To read about Jon's mega-collection, Exit From The Matrix, click here.)
"The people" is a convenient term for "every INDIVIDUAL."

This has been lost in translation.  It has been garbled, distorted, just as the proprietor of an old-fashioned carnival shell game distorts the audience's perception with sleight of hand.

Are "the people" one group?  Well, that's the ultimate Globalist formulation.

However, from the point of view of the free individual, things are upside down.  It is HIS power that is primary, not the monolithic corporate State's.

From his point of view, what does the social landscape look like?

It looks like: THE OBSESSION TO ORGANIZE.

I'm not talking about organizations that are actually streamlined to produce something of value.  I'm talking about organizations that PLAN MORE ORGANIZATION OF LIFE.

If you want to spend a disturbing afternoon, read through (and try to fathom) the bewildering blizzard of sub-organizations that make up the European Union.  I did.  And I emerged with a new definition of insanity.  OTO.  The Obsession to Organize.

OTO speaks of a bottomless fear that somewhere, someone might be living free.

THE JOURNEY TO GREATER INDIVIDUAL POWER IS ABOUT: ERASING THE SEPARATE INTERNAL COMPARTMENTS OF ENERGY THE PERSON HIMSELF HAS OVER-ORGANIZED.

Current technological civilization depends on fixed structures and forms and methods and systems.  In certain respects, it succeeds brilliantly.  But the effect is a very strong tendency to view reality through compartmentalized lenses.

People tend to think their own power is either a delusion or some sort of abstraction that's never really EXPERIENCED.  So when the subject is broached, it goes nowhere.  It fizzles out.  It garners shrugs and looks of confusion.  Power?  Are you talking about the ability to lift weights?

And therefore, the whole notion of freedom makes a very small impression, because without power, what's the message of freedom?  A person can choose vanilla or chocolate?  He can watch Law&Order or CSI?  He can buy a Buick or a Honda?  He can take a trip to Yosemite or Disney World?  He can pack a lunch or eat out at a restaurant?  He can ask for a raise or apply for a better job with another company?  That's it?  He can swim in his pool or work out at the gym?

He can take Prozac, or Paxil, or Zoloft?

Mostly, as the years roll by, he opts for more cynicism and tries to become a "smarter realist."  And that is how he closes the book on his life.

Or, if he is attracted to self-improvement, it's a matter of choosing between cliches.  Which cliché sounds better?  Which cliché seems to offer more hope for less effort?  Which cliché will connect him to people who accept the same cliché?

Every which way power can be discredited or misunderstood...people will discredit it and misunderstand it.

And then all psychological and physiological and mental and physical and emotional and perceptual and hormonal processes undergo a major shift, in order to accommodate to a reality, a space in which the individual has virtually no power at all.

I'd be remiss if I didn't include this one: "power=greed."  Mountains of propaganda are heaped on people to convince them that having individual power to make something happen is the same as committing crimes against humanity.

Globalism=collectivism=Glob-consciousness.  We're all one Glob.  We exist in that great Cheese Melt.

Even the radical Left of the 1960s, who rioted at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, because they believed the nominee, Hubert Humphrey, and his allies wouldn't stop the war in Vietnam...even that radical force on the Left eventually gave in and morphed into romantic sentimentalists who came to love the State under Obama.

Sooner or later, it comes down to the question: does the individual conceive of himself as an individual, or as part of The Group?

Shall the individual discover how much power and freedom and imagination he actually has, or shall he cut off that process of discovery at the knees, in order to join a group whose aims are diluted and foreshortened versions of consciousness and freedom?

The individual answers these questions overtly, with great consideration, or the questions answer and diminish him through wretched default.

There are people who want their own minds to look exactly like the world.  They want their minds to look like photographs of the world.  This is what they strive for.  The idea that they could invent something is so terrifying they opt instead for the world as it is.

This is what amused the surrealists.  They started turning things upside down and inside out.  They were reacting to humans who had made themselves into robots.  Into robot cameras.

The Surveillance State is a robot camera.  It captures everything, based on the premise that what isn't Normal is dangerous.

The cartels of the world become the cartels of the mind.

At the outbreak of World War 2, the Council on Foreign Relations began making plans for the post-war world.

The question it posed was this: could America exist as a self-sufficient nation, or would it have to go outside its borders for vital resources?

Predictably, the answer was: imperial empire.

The US would not only need to obtain natural resources abroad, it would have to embark on endless conquest to assure continued access.

The CFR, of course, wasn't just some think tank.  It was connected to the highest levels of US government, through the State Department.  A front for Rockefeller interests, it actually stood above the government.

Behind all its machinations was the presumption that planned societies were the future of the planet.  Not open societies.

Through wars, clandestine operations, legislation, treaties, manipulation of nations' debt, control of banks and money supplies, countries could be turned into "managed units."

Increasingly, the populations of countries would be regulated and directed and held in thrall to the State.

And the individual?  He would go the way of other extinct species.
