In Vision, I explored the various planes of consciousness, including perceptual abilities relatively rare and hardly developed in persons cultivated in the culture of Philosophical Materialism. We can only live within the sphere of our vision, guided:
· by hindsight (the majority)
· by foresight (the chosen few), or
· by insight (everyone to some degree at some point in time). The human psyche grows on insight.
The possibilities of probing the depths of Cause (Past) and Purpose (future) are quite limitless, but dependent on developing these perceptual abilities, generally only cultivated in a religious atmosphere, since Philosophical Materialism is yet to even acknowledge the existence of these possibilities, still having no clear working definition of human consciousness, baffled by the fact of its existence, not having grappled with its implications. (See What is consciousness? cited in Unity in Diversity Also Sheldrake’s critique of Philosophical Materialism in the Science Delusion )
The above references are not just arbitrarily chosen because of shared philosophical opinion with the authors, but as I discuss in What do you know? , communities exist within the atmosphere of the experiences created from within the scope of their collective vision. That Philosophical Materialism is unable to see past its own blindspots, certainly does not confine the entire human family to its myopia. It may forget, but it, after all, is a just another philosophy, not the Demiurge, despite its arrogant pretensions.
Anyone following my other blogs, particularly Streams of Glory and Outpouring, will recognize that there are large swaths of human culture that never bought in to the axioms of Materialism, nor could they, as it would require the renunciation of their normative experiences, a thing inconceivable, apart only perhaps from a horrific attempt at forceable mass – lobotomization on a grand cultural scale. The best historical attempt in that direction, The Black Maafa or Transatlantic Slave Trade and the technologies of subjugation deployed to sustain it, failed miserably in its attempt at self – perpetuation.
As I infer in Incorruptible, Philosophical Materialism, although it apparently doesn’t know it yet, nor apparently can conceive, having ridden on the coat tails of the borrowed ethical and moral standards of its ideological adversaries in the Monotheistic Faiths, is actually in its final death throes and will soon pass as a forgotten dream from evolving human society, destined to advance beyond its institutions and gods just as surely as her predecessors did, but leaving no pyramids behind.
This series aims at exploring the changing idioms of power and conceptions of both God and Government that have already begun, and are destined to overturn, eradicate and replace the entire fabric of our global political configuration and the way in which humans choose to be and express in the world.
Before we attempt that, I recommend a review of the Prophecy Series, as well as each one of the above cited references. Adopt a dutiful anthropological approach and refuse the urge to be dismissive at first encounter of apparent dissonance from conflict with the language or logic of your own orientation. It took Griaule and Dieterlin decades to crack the code of the Dogon. Some discoveries are worth the wait. Moreover, what cant be seen certainly impacts experience as much as what can. Ask everyone that died in a car accident for confirmation. Even if it never comes, it is there.
