War On Money manuscript 8th revision complete 7/25/2015



Comic Book Shaman’s War on Money
Peace and Justice Equation          8th revision (7/13/2015) 

If not for people there would be no money; no thought of money or need of money: if not for people. Is money the secret strength of human beings; or perhaps its prophylactic to peace and justice, keeping our common planet on its course of degrading and suffering? If this observation appears banal or even puerile on its face, it does beg the question is money essential to the growth of human prosperity in this century, us having learned all of the lessons and achieved all of the technological advances of every past time? I suggest that money has morphed from a 14th century boon to bankers and merchants to become at last the great glass barrier ceiling to everyone fully utilizing their great human potential, to us each husbanding and best using all natural resources, and distributing what all in more fair, economical and fuel efficient manners. This way, and never by money trickling down on us from on high is the cure for poverty, war, terrorism and perhaps in time even xenophobia.
At our worst we human beings are addicted to money as a palliative drug taken beyond its prescribed use. In further advancing this propositional equation, it is imperative to be clear that its primary constituent constant provides that there be no involuntary loss of capital or of property, required for its considered implementation. Since all enterprises evolve as they have done, whether government sanctioned or otherwise, and even those now outlawed as criminal, to any degree: even so must all even out the same as corporations and churches in this system. This proposition is not immoral, because contemplation leads to recognizing that sin and virtue do not live separately from one another, and overlooking the past means we are no longer bound by the random disjunctions that led us there previously. Is not even the worst sort of sinner the product of her fate; and who of us might not have been more fortunate if things had been different?
The great and transformative ideas and acts of human beings are rarely intensional at the start, rather they are mostly defined and redefined as time passes. It is just the same compared with the actions of men and women. Our War On Money’s second constant may be stated don’t believe anything; but be open to accept everything.  Because nothing in the universe is good or bad, right or wrong, or true or false in all cases, the only excluding factor to be considered is if or not that aspect leads to error.  
Next and the third constant is that persons always add value. In all economic equations this constant is similarly thought to be true, but that truth is largely shortchanged when participation stops flat at a paycheck; the future and mutually earned residual profit is usurped, and claimed to be dispersed to middlemen, retailers, suppliers, taxes, etc. as is commonly accounted by the present system devoted solely to monetary gain.
The final constant universal in this system is simple fair play. It may at first seem implicit, yet it proves always at last to be the hardest proposition to achieve in dominant culture. Once a appropriate provision ensures that every person has some minimum home and food security, each person will then be free and able to gain education or training to the full extent of her capacity; and by this flourish personally and thus the world incrementally will be improved, one life at a time.  So these four constant propositions underlying this propositional equation system suggest the calculus at last begins to connect the subsequent 33 variables describing unique aspects of having peace and justice.
Henry David Thoreau opined that there is little virtue in the actions of masses of men. We each will find means to solve our own problems as we are able peacefully, the chief being to share our planet Earth together. As the pollution and the degradation of earth, sky and waters abate, and are cured by all us human beings healed by strong prospects to achieve each one our own life’s purpose. The simplicity of that assertion is clearly supported by the infinite complexity and the instinctive feeling of truth given in every fact that you gentle reader, have collected in your life; facts of any sort, in any way connected by actual concern for yourself, your loved ones and for any life on Earth. Integrating the description of variables is demonstrated below,  presented in two problems examined as practical application of this system to real world problems.
The first is a unique political object concept called quite descriptively Variable Universal Happiness, that this systems’ results alone make fully feasible. The second propositional equation purports to examine and describe the nature of a pressing Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (P T S D). By these four named constants, factored with the 33 indicated variables, one may derive infinite combinations of solutions suitable for application not just to our own problems, but to each person’s unique dilemma with any conceivable problem or combination of such so preventing each our own peace and happiness. The efficacy though is not just in making useful equations, but truly it is in interesting you dear readers, and luring you to learn that you are capable of understanding and using this system yourself. It is exactly this realization, and the learning that it gives is substance to be the stuff of our world’s salvation. The trick of achieving this yourself is to see the things that the nagual shows back to one (as you?) as new ways to know what had been inconceivable in the past.
Finally this work concludes expression of a metaphysical system to demonstrate new ways to think about seemingly intractable problems. It suggests that each person in our world may discover a viable path herself to have her own peace on earth and good will among all people with the assumption of power and intent earned by and with each person’s own self-worth. This work expressing infinite solutions to all, and every problem is offered as comprehensive, and asserted to be a definitive system, all-encompassing and without error. The system, while simple in itself, must be stated in this complex/simplicity in order to invite your investigation by its noble brevity.






i.) Voting is for Suckers 5/14/2014  (709) revised 3/8/2015
          “All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right         and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not         staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority. Its obligation, therefore, never exceeds that of expediency.
          Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it. It is only expressing to men feebly your desire that it should       prevail. A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men.
          When the majority shall at length vote for the abolition of slavery, it will be because they are indifferent to slavery, or because there is but little slavery left to be abolished by their vote. They will then be the only slaves. Only his vote can hasten the abolition of slavery who asserts his own freedom by his vote.”
           
  -Henry David Thoreau    On Civil Disobedience  
These words cut deeply into me as a boy,
and as it has come about in this present century
that many of us perceive this as a clear path
to political transition
from our corrupt and inert political leadership
to a new, undefined path
to a new way of governance for free people
NOT of free people
by an unresponsive bureaucratic 'government.'
Consider this simple example of a typical election
here in the United States and its results:
I am offered a choice of 'Candidate
representing cell group A'
and 'Candidate representing cell group B' on a ballot,
me, thus in common with all other participating voters.
I choose to cast my vote for 'Candidate A'
With this 'choice' I implicitly support
any vote, speech or action
that candidate chooses to take
on my proxy, in any action.
Implicitly thus in fairness,
my disaffection for any of these actions
may only be redressed in the next election.
Too by that same 'choice'
I also, by extension
equally endorse the similar
votes, speech or actions
of the 'Candidate B'
in the event that that other candidate
prevails in the election.
Clearly my endorsement of any
candidate as a voter is
in all events
impotent and worthless,
but yet it is regarded by office holders
as free justification to do
just as they like in all cases.
This system lays all true political power
at the door of the two principle 
political cell groups,
where it is catered out piecemeal
to the moneyed interests of individuals
and corporations who can
afford to buy their agenda
no matter how contrary to
those other individual's interests.
Red and Blue etc.
are termed political cell groups for
their polar exclusive functions are secretive
and unresponsive to outside input
as was said of Communist bugaboos in the past
and present day terrorist cells
that serve to justify abuse by
government overreach
and institutionalized fear mongering.
Our elected political officeholders
resemble pigs at a trough
with no regard for our own interests.
Even the Supreme Court of the present
Chief Justice John Roberts' regime
rules as if it has been bought and paid for
and its decisions appear now
to serve only dishonest ends;
clearly they serve the people gouging
for every advantage their wealth can
purchase for themselves,
not for those others silent in terms of
political influence
in that same ‘real’ (money) sense,
whose interests they were
ostensibly appointed to protect.
Even judicial appointments
result from the actions and arrangements
of the primary political cell groups;
as chips in their power game
that they hold to be two opposing sides,
but this is not at all clear to be true.
This is merely the analysis this
system makes of this present
American government,
the prescription of its change
and improvement
is the result described in the
subsequent descriptions
of variables in this work.
The result of this mass public
withdrawal from participating
in voting for national candidates:
at last the Emperor will be shown
to wear no clothes!  





ii.) Profit (Micro) Requires Consideration  5/17/2014  (187)  revised 6/24/2015
"If you are describing any occurrence... make two or more distinct reports at different times... We discriminate at first only a few features, and we need to reconsider our experience from many points of             view and in various moods in order to perceive the whole."  
              Henry David Thoreau 
As a business owner, tradesperson,
creator, marketer or any sort of vendor,
the decisions and actions you choose
to employ; so to operate day to day,
and long term;
may be referred to as micro economic aspects.
This micro-economic designation in effect
is because your decisions and actions
largely affect only your own business
for the most part.
Also with owning the responsibility
personally for one’s own business,
that includes the liability for
the consequences
of our decisions and actions.
On a micro level our business
is restrained from encroaching
onto others properties, or
legal prerogatives
by the threat of those others
taking recourse under the law.
Thus business operators at a micro level
must take every outside interaction
under careful consideration
because it can eat away scarce profit,
if not risk fiscal disaster.






iii.)Profit (Macro) Defeats Consideration         5/21/2014        (558)    revised             3/8/2015
                "My books I'd fain cast off, I cannot read
                'Twixt every page (for) my thoughts go stray (to) at large
                Down in the meadow, where is (found) richer feed,
                 The Summer Rain, st. 1 (1842)   Henry David Thoreau 
When men and women together
decide it is profitable to take a longer,
macro view, of economic activity
and consider economic activity
as they aggregate their guesses
of the profit and loss within a given economy,
or of many distinct economies;
they must relinquish the necessary requirements
of our good existent micro operation
of all persons, businesses, industries,
established contracts, and networks,
and essential processes of operation
that presently support the profitability of each
not merely monetarily,
but as it maintains the whole eco-economics of security
and prosperity that they discount entirely,
or account it as only another line item
paid out and closed.
The abstract goal of that goofy macro study
is that it shifts the variable positions
of all from parity, to favoritism of moneyed interests,
and then the affecting of existing economies
by taking a macro approach within and across an economy;
ostensibly to improve conditions for everyone
by increasing the efficiencies
and also by this, the total activity
and profitability, generally, within the economies.
This is said to float all boats alike
by increasing efficiency,
reducing or eliminating redundancy,
and eliminating those non-productive aspects
wherever they are targeted.
This is supposed and represented as
being beneficial to everyone, also termed
‘trickle down,’ and that is solely an
intentionally deceptive macro-economic concept.
Objective analysis of the actual results
of macro-economic planning,
and its demonstrated results in any economy concerned,
only proves that its product is merely
statistical justification for robbery
of all workers, businesses, supply networks
 and investors of their present employment,
their customers, and their profits.
Thus making all these aspects abstract,
and thus separated away from unwary interests
(i.e. voters)
in order to redistribute this wealth and property
to increasingly narrow and wealthy interests.
In fact this macro view
towards increasing efficiencies
and max profitability within an economy
proves at last, to require us to disregard
all useful established micro-economic practices,
especially including honest care,
pride of workmanship,
and attention to the best interest of
customers, employees, and planning
for the future growth and viability
of individual entities and employment
within the economy.
It would be a mistake to believe that
the wealthy ‘interests and persons,’ who profit by this
macro-economic redistribution of wealth,
and by the influence over politicians they have
bought with their wealth,
are entirely nefarious in their intent or their actions.
Instead they seem affected more likely
by a short sighted perception of the place of profit (money)
and just who should benefit by that profit.
What good intentions are believed by,
or expressed by well-meaning office holders
and their media talkers,
to be the benefits that
Americans stand to derive from macro-economic
actions actual institution
in fact fails to include provision for the mitigation
of the unintended, but yet undeniable difficulties
that those actions create
for everyone less influential
but who are  still negatively affected.
This with no regard for the persons
who suppose that they themself granted
that political power by voting,
and whose own labor created the wealth
held now by others, whom
now only disregard them entirely.        

 
 
iv.) Compromise = Governance            5/23/2014  (766)  revised 6/24/2015
 “If… injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of government, let it go, let it go; perchance it (the friction) will wear (it)   smooth — certainly the machine will wear out. If the injustice has a spring, or a pulley, or a rope, or a crank, exclusively for itself, then perhaps you may consider whether the remedy (your trouble & effort to change it) will not be worse than the evil (the injustice), but if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn.”
               Henry David Thoreau     from On Civil Disobedience (1849)
Our present political system of operating our
government is completely broken.
Thus so irrationally, but intentionally polarized
are much of the population,
who are forever induced to support
prominent political cell groups controlling
our government, distinct from,
but in cahoots with the elected office holders
and then again from the correspondingly,
distinctly polarized news media
so that compromise cannot even be allowed
Any such function, of proposed or supposed agreement
by office holders of either stripe with
their opposite number is immediately broadcast by
both respective lap dog media platforms,
these claiming ‘betrayal of principle’ and
‘unworthiness to hold office.’
For compromise serves neither those in power
on their media in their goal of maintaining
the monetary conditions of the status quo
so favorable to them now.
Naturally they only support that proposition
believing themself that if things do not change,
then it follows that things will not change (for themself).
The caliber in the pool of candidates for higher office
 today in the United States is so poor,
and too so self-aware of that fact,
that these creatures are virtually interchangeable
once elected, so they do not dare attempt any action
except to bend to the winds that may blow from polls
of their donors, and as bid to them by media reportage.
This state of events can hardly be termed government
at all; from its undeniable results plainly observable
in the acts of our elected office holders at present
and rooted directly back to the Ronald Reagan
administration.
Rather than a functional government, we are
experiencing a systematic redistribution of the savings,
 labor and even homes and possessions of all
American citizens and others world wide of
only moderate income levels, to an increasingly
narrow group if wealthy persons, their minions,
and various corporate, government and media
interests. This is being perpetrated brazenly
by the open purchasing of power by the proverbial ‘1%,’
acting thus as if they are buying elections on eBay,
and also buying up personal control
of entire media platforms as if
they are bush league sports franchises.
So, news cycle to news cycle, election cycle,
to primaries, to election cycle,
we have gone about our lives knowing
something is badly wrong, but not quite able to see it,
or actually believe what is happening to us at all.
International treaties send jobs
and even the capital equipment
that workers here once operated, to overseas.
So called ‘good jobs’ are now
almost completely gone from manufacturing,
leaving at best the pursuit of medical, government,
data services and the arts for most persons
as the only ways to earn a decent level of income.
So thus institutional higher education,
health insurance, a home mortgage and a family
are largely unattainable for anyone
who cannot get financial help
 from their family or elsewhere.
Even military combat veterans
 get snot tissue treatment by a corrupt Congress
that cares only for the money
that gives them power and advantage.
Present governance = swindle,
this analysis follows from  this equational system
relating great complexity here,
even when broken down to bite sized chunks.
I want to emphasize strongly that the state we are in
is mainly perpetuated by a long life
packed with known and acknowledged errors
in living it, oblivious to certain of the political
and economic factors considered in this system.
These allow others to annually mow hay
from out of our unguarded distraction.
This equation is offered only as a tool
to put all the things you already know
onto a framework that will give you a perspective
not only of how we got to this sad
economic and political state;
but how we can win back our nation
by peaceful means.




v.) Service of Random Kindness                     5/26/2014        (657)                revised 3/8/2015
            "The fate of the country does not depend on how you vote at the polls — the worst man is as strong as        the best at that game; it does not depend on what kind of paper you drop into the ballot-box once a year,           but on what kind of man (person) you drop from your chamber into the street every morning."
                 Henry David Thoreau  -from 'Slavery in Massachusetts' (1854)
The most important thing in my life has
proven to be giving my service to other people.
All of my ideas and intentions have
self-serving aspects I admit,
but this does not diminish the good
that incorporating service and kindness to others
has done for me, as much as for those
I mean to serve.
I became a Buddhist monk ‘in fact,’
that is that I took my 6 vows
and have faithfully kept them for 25 years.
I took this path as a means of learning,
concentrating, observing, listening to find out,
and at the time I had no idea what.
That unknown became so attractive to me
that an ordinary life, a job, a wife,
or a family became completely out of the question.
Further, what other comfort or rewards these offered
had not been defeated for me by the responsibilities
I forswore along with them
in the times that have followed
in my own solitary life.
Making a barrier for my decision to
accept the responsibility of a family,
employment and every aspect these bring,
chiefly is the loss of valuable private decisions
about the use of invaluable time.
Pinched for that time, it is thus so often true
that kindness is the first thing that we abandon.
Giving our time to another is often
the kindest thing that we can possibly do for them,
only we feel that money becomes the same thing astime
because we sell so much of our precious time for money,
but then fail to realize later
that we would gladly give much more money
to have a fraction of our time back.
It is now impossible for me to separate
responsibility from service to others.
I can’t believe that all of the help and the love
others have given me throughout my life
was quid pro quo due to me from my
 actions or my own personality,
 or could be thus accounted fully deserved at all.
In fact it is clear that I am selfish and self-serving in the bulk of my decisions and actions. That said, still I can say that each kindness
I have received,
eventually I have recognized as such,
even when it didn’t always seem as such
in the moment. So in time I became able
to recognize the suffering in other persons
who I meet;
and come to recognize it as my own.
In this light it becomes natural to spare a moment
to be with a person who wants comfort,
as so many have done for me in my own life.
In our united way culture of ‘no time to spare’
we have come to view helping others
as a deduction from our paycheck,
or a dollar handed out the window to a proud veteran ,
or other unhappy person standing roadside. 
Don’t mistake kindness for a hurried handout;
that is welcome do doubt,
but beyond a bite to eat many persons
really need a kind ear to pour out their suffering,
for that is truly different from talking it out alone,
into the air.
And remember most, that in listening
to the suffering of others, that you cannot
solve their problems for them, really,
but in listening to them it is possible for her
to work it through for herself.
Eventually a solution of their own will present itself to them.
We can never really know the result
of the kindness we do for others,
and maybe it is best that way.










vi.) Rolling Wheel: Out of Control? or Going the Right Way? 5/27/2014   (742)  revised  6/25/2015
 "Is a democracy, such as we know it, the last improvement possible in government? Is it not possible to take a step further towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man? There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly. I please myself with imagining a State at least which can afford to be just to all men, and to treat the individual with respect as a neighbor; which even would not think it inconsistent with its own repose if a few were to live aloof from it, not meddling with it, nor embraced by it, who fulfilled all the duties of neighbors and fellow-men. A State which bore this kind of fruit, and suffered it to drop off as fast as it ripened, would prepare the way for a still more perfect and glorious State,    which also I have imagined, but (have) not yet anywhere seen."
                Henry David Thoreau   from On Civil Disobedience (1849)
One important aspect of any equation
is your own decision about whether it is useful,
and if the problem it purports to address
is important to you at all.
The aim of the equation expressed in this system
is essentially to encourage  readers to perhaps,
fill in any gaps that may exist in their thought process,
that her own real life may have prevented
connecting numerous problems around the world,
nationally, and even in your own life
to a common source of all of these problems.
All of these problems are rooted in deficits
of objects; including money, government,
education and responsibility.
Archaic structures of government are based on
errors concerning the benefits of collective actions
based on traditional democratic principles.
Democracy has plainly proven itself to be a clumsy,
wolf in sheep’s clothing, perhaps once it was
the very best human beings could manage
to govern themself, even while always
acknowledging its shortcomings.
Today democracy has become toxic
and even so in fact, to wealthy persons
who themselves attempt to purchase political power
and  judicial decisions. In this analysis
the decisions handed down so far
by the present Chief Justice John Roberts
led Supreme Court of the United States
have so aggravated the disparity between rich and poor,
hat these may be termed as criminal by their apparent
brazen redistribution of wealth and thus political influence
to an increasingly narrow cohort of corporate interests
and wealthy individuals: whose interests are
plainly regarded as taking precedence over
those of less privileged persons.
The legislature is not less culpable in this drastic transfer
of wealth over the past decades. The polarization of interest
by the two dominant political cell groups,
aggravated by the advent of the 24 hour news cycle
that leads persons with little time to attempt to
even imperfectly understand all of the important issues
that affect them. Most consume one sided newscasts
as if it were a brand of beer;
always reinforcing static perceptions,
because no opposing perspectives
never even come in to their notice.
Again these interactions of legislators, and news media,
corporate and wealthy interests act to divide and conquer
the population who are oppressed by deficits
both of money and of time, and have little ability
to know or research the ‘information’ they consumed,
reported to them by media sources.  
As for the executive function of government,
there is little of substance that it can accomplish effectively
in light of the stubborn gridlock
that has ground governance into a mere giveaway to
the privileged persons who are contributors to public office holders.
This system’ conclusions are arrived at
by aggregating a lifetimes observation of and analysis of
world and national events. No assertion is being made here
that any ultimate ‘truth’ is established in these observations;
however there is a flat assertion that they cannot be shown
to be in error. We seem to be today at the cusp of real change
in our society, by technological advances in communications,
and present availability of access to data at affordable costs
make change not just possible, but certain.
However it is not our phones or better computers
that make it inevitable, it is only the intent and self-education
of individual persons that in the end will prevail.


 
vii) Decisions Are Made One and One …and One Each Her Own   (6/25/2014)  (470)   Revised 3/8/2015
            "I am a parcel of vain striving tied
            by a chance bond together.”
              Henry David Thoreau   -from poem Sic Vita, st. 1 (1841)
 As democratic career House Speaker Tip O’Neil
famously observed  “all politics are local.”
This from a far past era yet in this authors brief lifetime
when politicians felt some responsibility to their constituents;
and even often still worked to reach reasonable compromise,
in service of course, to the interests of home districts primarily
and then after that only tangentially to the moneyed interests.
I observe today that such ‘honest graft’
is largely of the far past decades, and that elected
principal office holders now serve only their political cell groups,
who endorse them heartily to hapless fellow travelers
participating in voting.
The many and very interested financiers of their campaigns,
that they buy for them from branded media vendors with cash money,
and who are barking only for one of the two respective
political cells in control.
Using the control of access as the de facto source
of most news content,
government spokespeople; media vendors
are made their lapdogs, and so too,
of the political cell groups and by extension
their campaign contributors’ who aim to buy both at once.
Sweeping national legislation is sold remarkably cheaply
to them, and commonly the minions of these
indicated money dispensers, are even allowed to
write it themselves for their master’s profit;
in time resulting directly the spiraling downfall
of our national economy, debasing all employment
and so the security of all other persons.
We are fed confusion by a 24 hour news-cycle
composed chiefly of one to three minute bites
of the apple representing the knowledge of good and evil
done to us in our governance, by our corrupt
and deliberately ineffectual government.
Clearly the result is this: all politics are now individual.
Activism is personal, and solutions are nowhere to be found
in collective actions or decisions taken within the status quo.
Linguistic tactics used including such terms as
‘race,’ ‘injustice,’ ‘environment,’ ‘freedom fries,’ 'Benghazi' etc.
are cynical distortions used to divide and prevent us
from understanding the misdirection, and into distraction,
emotionalism and fear where the very opposites of true perception
and thus courage is called for. Our elected officials
are serving the ends of ignorance and bound to the crazy calculus
of mutually assured crappiness that is a remnant
of all past archaic government. We are controlled,
and pacified by the difficulty and confusion
built into our lives, and that saps what energy we have
to labor to dispel it ourself with all of the responsibilities
we bear of earning our own living in order to pay
our own bills.
Quoting the bard: “war is over if you want it.”




viii) War With Distraction//Peace With Diffusion part 1   5/29/20       (350)    revised 3/4/2014
             "The Indian...stands free and unconstrained in Nature, is her inhabitant and not her guest, and wears her             easily and gracefully. But the civilized man has the habits of the house. His house is a prison." 
                Henry David Thoreau  -April 26, 1841
Tonight I hit a common snag, that of tackling a variable that is plainly simple, in my own perception, but linguistically it offers to balloon so that is takes on itself a greater number of component variables contained in it, than this system equation it is a part of contains as a whole. Metaphysically this tends to defeat the main purpose, because to express this in spoken or written language requires too much exposition to be useful in this propositional equation system.
So here is an outline to work from, which in my hour evolved thus far:


Fortunately for this case
virtually everyone is familiar with the subject
of each part detailed in the memes above;
enough to forgo defining each of these
component parts of this propositional variable
under examination.
As the aim of this system is to demonstrate
the distraction that has evolved in dividing the relations,
responsibilities and clear intentions of each
of the players in our political system,
from their clear relation to government,
and thus so to us persons bearing its yoke.
The simple memes in the above equation
diagnosis’s of many of the aspects of distraction,
clearly fleshing out the total count
of these causes to be somewhere
just south of infinity;
if one were fool enough to go on listing them that way.
Every single reader may easily double the complexity
diagramed above just accounting their own life,
in well below an hour and without real effort.
So I say to you: why bother with this distraction?
How far does it pay, in a metaphysical pursuit,
detailing the inadequacies of a system
of archaic governance,
and accounting its nefarious and systematic robbery thereby?
For myself I have better use of my attention
than to detail those dismal paragraphs any further.


 

ix) War With Distraction/Peace With Diffusion Part 2 5/29/2014        (383)    revised 3/4/2015
"I came into this world, not chiefly to make this a good place to live in, but to live in it, be it good or bad.  They who know of no purer sources of truth, who have traced up its stream no higher, stand, and wisely stand, by the Bible and the Constitution, and drink at it there with reverence and humility; but they who behold where it comes trickling into this lake or that pool, gird up their loins once more, and continue their pilgrimage toward its fountain-head. "
                Henry David Thoreau  from On Civil Disobedience (1849)
It left behind a pile of bits of paper on the table in making the two memes below, contrasting common elements of distraction with those of diffusion, as they are useful to consider in this case. If you can decipher my hand there I think my point is made clearly, both in the labels and the form I present them in these variable memes. Only the two terms and the labels floating around them express the dharma aspect in this part of the equation, everyone who reads this will instantly understand many things about each component label, and each person will have her own interpretation of how these connect within her own world view and present reality. 





This is ultimately why this brand of distraction is so deep in our culture, and exists in each of our own lives. The variations of these numerous subjective aspect values in all of these noted examples and countless others are constantly in flux. For this reason I don't believe in villains or in heroes as the cause of the vast majority of the suffering that each person experiences. At worst, or perhaps at best, the things we do to correct are mainly our best guess at going forward without error. Subjectively any combination of these aspects that we determine as true or false is easy enough to decide on with consideration for our own intent or our own desire. Objectively all equations reveal their errors plainly. The amount of exposition we tell ourself or tell others to justify our equational deviation, that aspect will show painfully no matter how we may wish to ignore our error.

 

 
x.) Every One Has Their Thoughts and Desires          
6/2/2014 (702) revised 6/26/2015
            "It is a great art to saunter"
               Henry David Thoreau - April 26, 1841"
This above is an obvious truth, and its practical amplification,
by the advent of technology and affordable world-wide
communications, goes far to support my contention
that democracy has become undesirable and inadequate
to serve our needs in this century, and now going forward,
its sole function has become to redistribute the money,
possessions and precious time of the mass of citizens
and residents for the profit of those with wealth
and the intent to buy even more power
and influence with that wealth.
In continuing to cling fast to the beloved illusion
of an American democracy, that in now archaic;
we cannot help but see that it is a myth,
and that now it is in fact, the chief agent
of our national economic decline.
With cold examination free of prejudice,
it may be seen clearly that parental government
is the chief systemic cause of much suffering
to all Americans as well as everyone around
the world alike. Advocates for our present
political decision makers and in explanation
of their decisions, merely defend their own
inability to imagine, let alone believe that
anything may be superior to the status quo;
and let me immediately admit: that my only contrary
claim is now expressed by this system.
Simply put, I advocate that we shall all aim
to become better educated in every day that passes,
and that everyone should immediately, be okay
with every aspect of it, and each one free
to determine the path of  her own life.
In one recent, terrible misogynistic murder spree
(find date and link) by a deranged boy who
believed the crap that he learned all his life
of consuming sterile media content,
but it did not at last comport to a
very desirable life for himself.  At his end,
even though he felt that he had done all that
the media had told him to do, so that chicks would
 go for him reliably; regrettably all of that nonsense
was just a wash for him.
It is only aggravating the broad issue
to feel punitive towards a deranged child
badly misbehaving, simply because that one,
who legally got hold of a loaded gun,
just as any criminal may do, and will do
to suit her purpose.
I can’t think of a thing to justify this behavior,
certainly nothing to excuse this person’s crime.
And so now this one is dead too, as I reckon
they all end up so lately.
Why not realize such as these hopeless killers
are spawned in desperation, not in a vacuum.
They are born into the clutches of unfiltered media,
and if without even the rudder of parental care,
and form without receiving such aid of
loving mentoring, as is the responsibility
we each bear towards one another.
The news item at reference here proves that money
is not a total cure for, nor yet to me at least,
is mere poverty the logical cause of suffering;
what do you think?
Hey look! [[[ This is a great spot to add
punitive judicial sentencing and penal service
as revenue for the government to the list
of sad benefits we have won by
cutting tax rates of those persons most blessed
with dough.]]] 
Even after all the past decades waiting,
believing the necessity that those tax giveaways
to the wealthy, and the tricky
too surely at last one day can trickle down?
Down at last onto the families swimming, swimming
around under their mortgaged homes.
Persons who are 'informed' by media sources
that they are themself poor poor victims of naughty bankers,
and as such who may think that they must drown dead,
if they were to pay more to keep the house,
keep it by struggling and suffering poverty (not consuming),
because it is said to cost (here commonly termed as 'debt')
more than it is worth; the same home that the same family
had lately loved and wanted so much to live themselves.
Here money clearly supersedes, and distorts actual
human considerations by reducing them all to follow
convenient determined avenues to maintain the status quo. 







xi.) We Can No Longer Pretend to Know What Is in Play  6/4/2014   (517) 
revised 6/28/2015
"I saw that the State was half-witted, that it was timid as a lone woman with her silver spoons, and that it did not know its friends from its foes, and I lost all my remaining respect for it, and pitied it."
              Henry David Thoreau   from On Civil Disobedience (1849)
At some point in our history government bureaucrats
confidently issued collected facts and figures
to define most aspects of national production
and trade in commodities and manufactured products,
and could seem to account a reliable census,
and even to a degree, control immigration into this country. 
Thus making the figures broadly collected aggregate
and so thus attempted to make some forward predictions,
to be used in central planning to benefit industry,
and forecast the required infrastructure
to benefit business and employment. 
Yes there was a time in history where this was attempted,
if of course, it always accompanied shameless profiteering
by the wealthy, and so too grafting public office holders.
No one pretends to really believe that such
is remotely useful today or are not of the
drain trade treaties past have made middle class prosperity
to become a grim joke; to persons working away
with little prospect for prosperity
coming out of government planning.
The concept of maximum profitability
(macro-economic systems)
has undermined many; or perhaps most of the
countless intangible assets of all companies,
professions and commodities
and the traditional markets they have inhabited
or always until now have been supported.
This makes us merely minnows
swimming, working, waiting to be swallowed up
by the next big fish that buys and sells
our livelihood for a fast buck in their own pocket.
Resulting thus in effect, that
no one can say with certainty; anything collectively
about anything, beyond the narrow sphere of aspects
directly related to her own personal life.
Consider only the auto part your mechanic needs
to repair your trusty old car.
It lies now far away in a central distribution warehouse,
waiting to ship, and then to come overnight,
if the right part can be determined and
located at all. If it does come, it is as likely as not
to be, not quite right, or else some other repair
may also be needed. So that
at last you can get on the road again.
This expansion of the chronological aspect
of an automobile repair is reflected by the decline
of the auto industry and the auto parts industry
indicative mainly, of the steep decline in the income
of former customers to purchase fleets of new cars
each year among those formerly called collectively
‘workers’ but who are increasingly now accounted
only as consumers. 
The middle class is now rapidly shifting its savings
out of bank accounts and right into its arsenal gun collections.
This has caused chaos in many social aspects of our society.
Money, patriotism, family, self-preservation, mass murder,
politicized health care delivery, taxation without real
representation, anger, sorrow;
and at last, the end of our own functional self-governance,
and the murder of old ideas of American democracy. 
And just try to find most indie comic books offered
for sale currently in a typical American local comic shop (lcs).
 


 
xii.) There Is No Legislating Out of the Status Quo  6/5/2014(415) revised 3/8/2015
"All men recognize the right of revolution; that is, the right to refuse allegiance to, and to resist, the government, when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable. But almost all say that such is not the case now. But such was the case, they think, in the Revolution of '75.
If one were to tell me that this was a bad government because it taxed certain foreign commodities brought to its ports, it is most probable that I should not make an ado about it, for I can do without them.
All machines have their friction; and possibly this does enough good to counterbalance the evil. At and rate, it is a great evil to make a stir about it. But when the friction comes to have its machine, and  oppression and robbery are organized, I say, let us not have such a machine any longer. "
                Henry David Thoreau   from On Civil Disobedience (1849)

 
We are here together in the present moment,
so now we are suffering to be ruled over
by a degenerate group, posing as
adversarial patriots who are sworn to be
mainly concerned with the public good;
and yet every action they take publicly,
brands them as criminals in intent and in action.
Like pigs at the trough gobbling up
our ever diminishing prosperity,
and only even looking up briefly
at times of re-election just to urge reform
by which; you vote their own opponents
out of power.
By diligently voting voting voting voting;
"we will change,
the 'our party’ has only your interests in our hearts," etc.
In fact you may notice that the only aspect of governance
universally agreed by every participant in
each political cell group:
is that you should register and always vote
is a telling key to unlock the truth of their crooked game.
It is a cynical sleight-of-hand shell game,
we grab for the 'pea' of reform under the shells
of false promises: that are never collected, or
have any prayer of derailing the gravy train
of our own elected public office holders.
Many such aspects are named in the diagram below
and sadly, every variable is understood too well
by each one reading into this system.
This illustration is just a handy tool
collecting many into one meme;
but I betchaeach of you can surely
add a few tentacles I have neglected here.







xiii.) Static Perception Arrested Thought/ Impediments to Progress (415) revised 6/28/2015
"My work consists of two parts: the one presented here plus all that I have not written. And it is precisely this second part that is the important one."    
Ludwig Wittgenstein
An individual aspect such as this is difficult to
describe sensibly, so I will just rely on the title
of this equation to express the major part of my meaning.
I think the best that I can describe my thesis of this phrase
is this: everything is in a constant state of change,
but often we just cannot notice it.
This is human and only natural in light of the complexity
of every person’s day to day life concerns.
We go on in a comfortable routine most of our lives,
pausing in confusion when our old habits
no longer serve us as they once did.
We don’t see ourselves this way of course,
but can see the confusion plainly enough in others around us.
A parent seems not to realize that we are now adults,
and insist upon patronizing us.
Friends may go on attached to old ways
that we now have lost interest in doing;
those wedding bells are breaking up this old gang of mine.
These changes are rooted in each, our individual
chronological needs and desires.
In the world this makes a rich tapestry
of lives lived well.
But many choose to ignore change,
in favor of clinging to a comfortable simplicity,
one that, with enough money accrued on account,
they hope to weave into a cocoon to shield us
from ambiguous uncertainty,
brought on chiefly by our continuous
regular interactions with others.
This aspect of human nature is, to some degree
itself the root of suffering in most.
We may cling to favorite T.V. programs,
sports teams, unhappy employment,
and/ or assign the definition
of our own permitted amount of liberty
to some ineffective political cell-group;
and its office holders,
just because we have always hoped that these
are capable of providing us a seeming security
in this uncertain world,
and in the point of present crisis causes
that we suppose we have no time to do this for ourself.
The expression of this single title,
this metaphysical observation, aims to transcend
the function of language;
the description I have written here above
would have little weight of meaning,
except for the fact that you the reader
may feel the truth of these assertions
as a fact of your own life.


xiv.) Actual May be (only) Perception 6/7/2014 (473) revised 6/28/2015
 "It takes an extraordinary intelligence to contemplate the obvious."
Alfred North Whitehead
In the early 1980s I realized
that I was only really able to observe
and begin to understand that the world
is a contiguous proposition,
and then I began to make meaningful artworks
by seeing my subjects thus
with multiple perspectives and connections.
Otherwise the result of my work
is to show only a partial aspect,
and unless this is my intention in making a work,
or else if it is made instead
for a commercial purpose,
such work has little satisfaction for me.
If we could read one another’s minds,
perhaps we could completely convey our ideas
and our meanings crystal clearly to another person,
and without misunderstandings.
But for the most part we have only
language to communicate,
and even to think with by ourselves;
so in some ways every thought,
and every expression deviates in some way
from our intension.
So in attempting to embroider with details,
in an attempt to be specific requires exposition,
whether speaking or in written language;
and exposition requires an increased
chronological element to express it,
and this factor demands attention,
concentration, and often great energy
even to guess the result of any given
extended, complex use of language.
As I began studying Principia Mathematica the following proposition immediately leapt out at me as applicable to all human interactions.
. (x) . x = x
or  I assert “x is true of all values of x = equals x.” or “everything equals itself.” as a definite proposition. This led me to devise my very first propositional equation as follows
given:
φ = the class of all persons as individuals
x^ = the expression denoting each individual’s intelligence
φx^ = expresses the set (x^1, x^2, …x^n) containing the aggregate representing each human being’s intelligence
x^ = . ~∞= each person’s intelligence is less than infinite since each person’s intelligence is ~∞ it follows
. (x) . φx^ = . ~∞
or my definite assertion that no person can rightly be seen more intelligent than another person. I call this Comic Book Shaman’s Infinite Intelligence theorem. This is a fine tool to demonstrate the essential function of our system. You may agree or disagree with my theorem’s conclusion, you may have made a thousand observations that seem to prove without question that in your experience its opposite must be true. But this assertion, and all assertions that follow are not determined by truth or falsehood; only that they will never be proven in error.

 xv.) Money Went ‘Round the Bend 6/10/2014           (770) revised 3/8/2015
"Never give a sucker an even break" 
William Claude Fields (film title)
     
Money can be simply useful to anyone.
Money too has a price
like nearly everything in this world has;
generally all working people pay that price
with their own precious time.
The time we work for a paycheck,
the effort we give,
forgoing other desired activities or repose.
Also we may pay for our money with
objects we create or have acquired
to later exchange for cash money.
These innocuous aspects of money
that we can see that seem to us
to be the root factor in every
problematic equation constituting all
of the parameters of our life here on earth,
but they are not finally the core of our worthiness
or even our chief defense against all adversity.
Money transcends being only a simple tool
supporting basic purposes of commerce
because always as it masses into the control
of any individual or group;
its aspect changes in certain fundamental ways,
This is because money’s uses change
both in purpose and in velocity,
according to infinite perspectives of those who control it.
A bank, a large business interest, a corporation,
a university, a hospital, a church, a philanthropist,
a money market manager, any criminal enterprise,
a stock or commodities trader;
each of these has different perspectives
on raising and using huge amounts of money,
and the results of each constitutes a separate
and distinct nature of the affect that money has
and also even more importantly
what that nature will display in the future.
As a particular example, the oligarchic acquisition
of so many brand name companies
in the food, retail, entertainment industries,
and as well of oil, commodities, and transportation
into the hands of a few big corporations
that are controlled by fewer and fewer
very wealthy individuals,
and avoiding thus the past practices that were
more equitable in that redistribution by way of taxation.
Disappointing is that we everyone have lost sight
of the origin of these huge fortunes;
and so too have most of the ones
who now control its title,
and by this control, so conceive that they alone
have earned the fruits of a million others’ labor.
And consumption seen as the natural order
rewarding their virtue and acumen;
and we do that too commonly.
Rest reassured then that by our own dedication
to static concepts regarding property rights,
personal prerogatives, and democratic values.
Thus because money has gone ‘round the bend'
and out of our sight, it is natural to forget it,
since we no longer see it or think about it
as an object of all of our common creation,
but which it most certainly is.
Still as the level of its velocity
that money is moving away from us
is because in past times when this nation
was truly prosperous, the functioning governance
taxed those gains as much as 90%,
and to the howls then of the extremely wealthy,
but to a huge benefit to all persons
who had such a growth in their standard of living
that many, and constantly expanding new sources
of fortunes so derived were to be discovered.
In past times those hated and reviled taxes
built roads, bridges, dams’, culverts,
all types of flood prevention projects,
national parks and capital projects in 50 states,
bought fleets of vehicles and equipment;
and also education and employment
for millions of ourselves and our neighbors.
I’m not suggesting that the asshole
Ronald Reagan and his ideological progeny
were not patriotic, or even completely in error
for the way they serve by dogmatic hyperbole
a disinterested population..
I do state flatly now that
judged by the specific policies
that resulted in devastation to our national economy
it is clear that whole crowd had, and still exhibits
little understanding of the trouble they cause
in putting their own ideology and bigotry
at the very front of their theoretical political
equation of governance,
where that should not have been at all.
To inject some more present day partisan
balance into this systems’ analysis,
I will flatly state ‘that Clinton guy’
was equally destructive
with his trade agreement treaties
and arrogant hail-fellow-well-met distractions;
but I like ‘the Obama,’ he at least has proven
to be Presidential and reasonable,
this is the way an executive honestly
and effectively functions.
Do not take these analytical assessments
as partisan endorsements, for I maintain
that all political cell affiliations are to be despised,
and thus here advocate seeing only the actions,
and the results of men and woman in elected office
without a narrow partisan filter.

 
xvi.) Weeping and Gnashing of teeth 6/13/2014          (570) revised 6/29/2015
“1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those             murderers, and burned up their city.
8 Then saith he to his servants, the wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Jesus of Nazareth - Matthew 22; 1-14

That great New Testament economist/philosopher Jesus
points out in this parable that life is good for everyone,
but too, whether you are a king
or just a guy off the street invited to a wedding party,
shit happens, so we have to just deal with it
and keep going.
We are alive only in the present moment
and in a very real sense each moment is an eternity
that we cannot escape.
How we chose to regard the moment we find ourselves in,
is largely indicative of how we are likely to feel
about each moment of our life.
Our mere determination that the present moment
is “good” or ‘bad,’ is a perspective that affects
every aspect of our fears, our unhappiness,
even our satisfaction with the kind aspects/things
life brings us all.
By attempting to always assure
that our desired outcomes prevail,
or in one delivering on depraved promises;
purchased to achieve ideological outcomes;
that we strive to defeat, only grow in resistance
and gains ever more power over us.
For example it is to be observed
that in present governance
the conservative faction seeks every device
to dictate the parameters of future legislation;
thus hoping to exclude arbitrary issues
that they are paid off to despise.
Believing in, and instigating such legislation
certainly assures the worst possible outcome,
and we would each find the results much better
if they would honestly negotiate
those outcomes only when they arise. 
Instead these cowardly acts,
continually done to each of us
by our legislators,
find us collectively
weeping and gnashing
our own teeth.








xvii.) A distortion of every nature; is at the base of every equation   6/26/2014 (379)   revised 3/8/2015
            "Every poet has trembled on the verge of Science.
            If you are describing any occurrence... make two or more distinct reports at different times... We discriminate at first only a few features, and we need to reconsider our experience from many points of view and in various moods in order to perceive the whole."
  Henry David Thoreau Quotes from Journals (1838-1859)
Here again I think the title is really the whole essence
of this variable proposition. If it suggests a certainty to you;
then it’s all good. If you have read very far in this system,
but still are not comfortable with how the above title
serves this function, don’t worry,
this bit effectively just boosts all of the other,
sister variables.
dichotomies of distortions
In conventional thought we depend heavily
upon dual-concepts as true and false,
good and bad, wrong and right;
and applying them as labels onto people,
ideas, objects, and all sorts of aspects of our lives.
We want these to simplify our life,
reducing all to one choice or another.
But we see that: persons, and also any other
collective interests that we are fond of,
have ever changing natures to them;
some that may even thus give us pleasure.
We each have a capacity to accept,
our own sphere containing
our comfortable ambiguity
and of course this may vary from person to person.
These distortions free up our intent momentarily
to do things that normally we would not do.
don’t let the sound of your own wheels
It is only in disregarding these distortions,
that we make serious errors that divert us,
and change our actions so thus preventing us
from having our intended result.
When we become convinced of the permanence
of this or of that about anything on Gods good earth,
it is yet another sign of inevitable error coming, sure.
Understand that errors
are frequent in everyone’s lives,
and for the most part they have little effect,
and in fact sometimes even turn out for the best;
nothing is ever true or false in all cases,
and when one attempts to assert a truth to be
‘eternal,’ or ‘natural;’ she arrives at last
only at nonsense. 







xviii.) All Problems integrated, reduced, and reconstructed   8/29/2014          (630)    revised 7/11/2015
"Unjust laws exist; shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once? Men generally, under such a government as this, think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them. They think that, if they should resist, the remedy would be worse than the evil. But it is the fault of the government itself that the remedy is worse than the evil. It makes it worse. Why is it not more apt to anticipate and provide for reform? Why does it not cherish its wise minority? Why does it cry and resist before it is hurt? Why does it not encourage its citizens to be on the alert to point out its faults, and do better than it would have them?  Why does it always crucify Christ, and excommunicate Copernicus and Luther, and pronounce Washington and Franklin rebels?"
 -Henry David Thoreau    On Civil Disobedience (1849)
Metamorphosis
I very often find that the system aspect
 I am applying does not quite fit the nature
that I want to prevail in it.
Usually it needs to be worn in a bit,
rethought, and other aspects in proximity
may even have to change as well
for it to be a good fit.
Remember that it is never just one thing
that defeats you, or just one thing
that drives you forward. You always have a choice;
to pursue the single narrow,
dedicated course is not really better
than another more broad series of interests,
and we will only know in looking back,
what actually was the result of our intent.
The problem is the bigness
When our plans are born of a budget,
and a goal to profit as a main consideration;
then I say that the result is as likely to be
an albatross as a attainment.
This is an inherent drawback,
inevitable in any sort of collaboration,
even with oneself. The real problem is the
bigness of the project’s aspect nature
cuts off and stilts all of its surrounding natures.
By this I mean any people, businesses,
contracts, time etc. affected by this bigness.
This may be good for some
and less good for others.
So, life goes on.
Monkey see
Like the sand in a stream
we are each the accumulation of aspects
layered chronologically; shaped by effects
of force and inertia upon us.
We drift along accumulating
scraps of identity,
and then shedding them like lizard skins. 
Start to finish, that is a constant
for all persons alike, and so many are
trapped solidly by not reaching
beyond their own expectations.
By integrating changes in this manner,
and always with kindness,
we accrue to us certain power
whose nature cannot be harnessed,
but is certainly to be used.
Used by anyone.
Catch Your Own Perception
Reduce, integrate, reconstruct, there is
an infinite choice of ways to see
a given problem and we are free
to explore them all, but we only limit ourself.
You are totally in charge of
what is big or small in nearly all situations.
Please tax your own perception.
If you can allow yourself to change
your perception of variables
when the need is apparent,
the plan comes closer to integration.
You may well control changes
in your own money, your own time,
your own education, your beautiful appearance
and self-worth by decisions made
as you move through life,
in a way that makes sense to you.
It is no good having our life dictated
only by finance, by fate or by luck.
Better to strive to make those things
suit yourself better by living
the life you want to.






xix.) Care For Distraction        7/1/2014          (426)                                        revised 7/11/2015
“I found in myself, and still find, an instinct toward a higher, or, as it is named, spiritual life, as do most men, and (also) another (''instinct') toward a primitive rank and savage one, and I reverence them both.
I love the wild not less than the good. The wildness, and adventure that are in fishing still, recommended it to me. I  like sometimes to take rank hold on life; and spend my day more as the animals do.”
           
The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready, and it may be a long time before they get off.
           
There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not philosophers. Yet it is admirable to profess; because it was once admirable to live.
           
To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust.”
                Henry David Thoreau – Walden
Having recognized that every word,
thought and action we take, ends up
a distortion of our own perfect intention;
perhaps we would become immobile
and unable to move forward at all,
except for our own tendencies to be easily distracted.
One would not be wrong to dismiss that
as making too fine a distinction;
but on the other hand a shaman reckons
that this is 'key' in seeing aspect translation
into determined chronological factor.
By this I mean to say that every aspect of life,
an object , an idea, perhaps a person,
each of these we interpret as a translation
of the information we have perceived,
and as it integrates with all that you
already know regarding that aspect.
Separately but instantly, there attaches’
a chronological reckoning
as each of these variable factors
enter into a given equation. For example
the trigonometric sequence calculated
in every driving experience,
or just a delay, spending unplanned hours
getting ready to go, it is natural to
fall into a groove of each our own
individual perception.
It is not very important to
consciously gauge these
chronological factors precisely,
only it can be surprisingly useful
to be aware that this small aspect
of distraction exists;
exists in everything there is.
But the more your life is clearly defined,
and comfortable, these considerations
hold for mere exasperations sake.
However artists, outdoorspeople,
athletes, gamers, and anyone who
enjoys creativity can play this little
distraction up into infinite perspectives.




xx.) Commerce and industry must be viable without subsidy   7/5/2014         (267)    revised 3/4/2015
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately(;) to confront only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach (me)(;) and (so) not when I came to die(;) discover that I  had not lived.
I (do) did  not wish to live(;) what (is) was not life, living is so dear; nor (do)did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep, and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so; sturdily and Spartan-like(;) as to put to rout all that was not life(;)  to cut a broad swath, and shave close, to drive life into a corner(;) and reduce it to its lowest terms.” 
               -Henry David Thoreau  Walden: Life In the Woods (1854)
Below is a demo of metaphysical process
of expressing innovation in radical ideas
both written and in spoken language as here in this system.
To first expand this exercise into extraordinary syntax,
or even formal institutional language
remains as simple labor for anyone conversant in the English language
and able to perform and document everything; nice like.  
I often pose similar problems to apprentices,
usually involving their own interests and experiences.
One easily understands all the aspects of the calculus
depicted below, but each will interpret them
by their personal tastes and beliefs, understandings, hopes etc. 
Get out your post-its, and expand or redo.
And think about everything, and imagine how even
the small things matter
and may affect the whole in surprising ways.


the first part is my analysis of the variable, very macro

 



 This is one suggestion of possible threads of remedy

xxii.) Love thy planet/god as thyself    7/18/2014   (425)         revised 3/8/2015


“How can a man be satisfied to entertain an opinion merely, and enjoy it?
Is there any enjoyment in it, if his opinion is that he is aggrieved?

Action from principle — the perception and the performance of right — changes things and relations; it is essentially revolutionary, and does not consist wholly with anything which was. 

It not only divides states and churches, it divides families; ay, it divides the individual, separating    the diabolical in him from the divine." 

                Henry David Thoreau   -On Civil Disobedience 1849


It is okay for each one to be kind to ourself.
The events in every person’s life accumulate
value as it goes on, and as these experiences
accrue she changes daily. And just as an
elbow in a creek bed catches stratified micro-layers,
similarly too the metaphysical applications that one
has available in a given space of time may enable us
to see persons as luminous, as they each are. 
Depending upon the point we start to notice it,
we soon are juggling aspects of our life,
our responsibilities, and as a result of our desires,
the ‘likes’ and ‘dislikes’ tend to
interchange their places fluidly,
as do our own perspectives.

  we are ‘unruly-Borg’ praise Bob
I can recognize a good case myself
that the planet earth that we live on is god.
Thus because I can see new aspects
of the planet every day, after many years
I see them all for the luminous beauty
that they each have, and also that they
have all been put here to be considered
and to be loved.  Our own god/planet,
our own minds, each our own will,
and we exist chronologically,
we exist on a spectrum,
but we can act only now. Now is the exact time
of extraordinary flux in our
individual human perception and ability.
As more persons themself awake to this,
and thus assert that they have,
we must each then be mindful that many others,
even right around us, are fighting still
against their own oppression, their own poverty,
and from war and hunger every day
on this our only god/planet.


Be mindful also that many advantages
we enjoy also have us profit by others
who are suffering her own injustices.
Because we each have only this one planet,
and our own one mind; our own single will;
the way to change things is by
your own individual decisions,
one person at a time.
Technology now makes this conceivable,
maybe even practical,
and participation seems worth believing in,
and so I do.





xxiii.) Do unto others as you want back too.   7/22/2014        (738)    revised

            "It is never too late to give up our prejudices."

                Henry David Thoreau


Many things are different, one from another.
That helps us in this system to find out the infinity
in our perceptions, and in all of the things that come to
each ones’ life. Each of us having our own individually
n fact, makes for many commonalities shared
and that on the surface maybe we would not expect.
I am not certain how much to try to expound
on the importance that this variable carries
in making this system viable. 
I have no intention to give further exposition here about this
in abstract form.

Instead please take a breath, follow along with the
following clarification of the important aspects of the fine distinctions
underlining all of the notational aspects of our system.

HANblogLAKA  *5   Definitions


definiendum: that which is defined (noted to the left).

definiens: that which it is defined as meaning (to the right with =)

“p É q . = . ~p v q  Df.”


Three primitive ideas have been introduced above which are not “defined” but only described. Their primitiveness is only relative to our expansion of logical connection and is not absolute; though of course such an exposition gains in importance according to the simplicity of its primitive ideas.


 These ideas are symbolized by “~p” and “p v q” and by “├” prefixed to a proposition.


Three definitions have been introduced:

p . q . = . ~(~p v ~ q)  Df,


p . É q .= . ~ p v q  Df,


p ≡ q . = . p É q . q ) p  Df.


Primitive propositions: some propositions must be taken without proof, since all inference proceeds from propositions previously asserted. These, like the primitive ideas are to some extent a matter

of arbitrary choice. Though, as in the previous case, a logical system grows in importance according as the primitive propositions are few and simple.


It will be found that owing to the weakness of the imagination in dealing with simple abstract ideas no very great stress can be laid upon their obviousness. They are obvious to the instructed mind, but then so are many propositions which cannot be quite true, as being disproved by their contradictory consequences.


The following are the primitive propositions employed in the calculus of propositions. The letters “Pp: stand for “primitive proposition.”


(1)     Anything implied by a true premise is true  Pp. This is the rule which justifies inference.


(2)     ├ : p v p . É . p  Pp. i.e. if p or p is true, then p is true.


 (3)  ├ : q  . É . q v p  Pp. i.e. if q is true then p or q is true.


(4)   ├ : p v q . É . q v p  Pp. i.e. if p or q is true, then q or p is true.


(5)   ├ : p v É q v r) . É . q v (p v r)  Pp i.e. if either p is true or “q or r” is true then either q is           true or “p or r” is true.


 (6)   ├ :. q É r . É : p v q . É . p É r  Pp’ i.e. if q implies r, then “p or q” implies “p or r.”


 (7)   “The axiom of identification of real variables.” When we have separately asserted two different functions of x where x is undetermined it is often important to know whether we can identify the x in one assertion with the x in the other. i.e. if   Ï†(x,y,z…) is a constituent in one assertion, and  Ï†(x,u,v…) is a constituent in another.


*3·03, *1·7, and *1·72 (which is the statement of this axiom).


Some simple propositions:


The law of the excluded middle: ├ . p v ~p.  (*2·11)


The law of contradiction: ├ . ~(p . ~p).  (*3·24)


The law of double negation: ├ . p ≡ ~(~p).   (*4·13)


The principle of transposition: this principle has various forms, namely:


       (*4·1)   ├ : p É q .≡ . ~q É ~p,


       (*4·11) ├ : p ≡ q . ≡ . ~p ≡ ~q,

       (*4·14) ├ :. p . q . É . r : ≡ : p . ~r . ) . ~q.  as well as other variations of these.




xxiv.) False Structures of Power are Untenable   7/28/2014  (923)  revised 7/23/2015


            "If there were one who lived wholly without the use of money, the State itself would hesitate   demand it of him. But the rich man — not to make any invidious comparison — is always sold to        the institution which makes him rich.
            Absolutely speaking, the more money, the less virtue; for money comes between a man and his  objects, and obtains them for him; and it was certainly no great virtue to obtain it. It puts to rest    many questions which he would otherwise be taxed to answer; while the only new question which      it puts is the hard but superfluous one, how to spend it.
            Thus his moral ground is taken from under his feet. The opportunities of living are diminished in  proportion as what are called the "means" are increased. The best thing a man can do for his      culture when he is rich is to endeavor to carry out those schemes which he entertained when he   was poor.
            Christ answered the Herodians according to their condition. "Show me the tribute-money," said       he; — and one took a penny out of his pocket; — if you use money which has the image of Cæson it, and which he has made current and valuable, that is, if you are men of the State, and gladly     enjoy the advantages of Cæsar's government, then pay him back some of his own when he     demands it; "Render therefore to Cæsar that which is Cæsar's, and to God those things which are     God's"— leaving them no wiser than before as to which was which; for they did not wish to     know."
                Henry David Thoreau  On Civil Disobedience 1849



When wealth accumulates into narrow or personal control by individuals;
its origin is thus dismissed , finished by a deposit into an account.
This ledger sheet spell works for the wealthy;
a time machine, Punch and Judy show
it gives amusement along with bitter uneasiness.
This finders-keepers ethos maintained by privilege
and blindly swallowed by the authors of this booty
bought shrewdly by the hour
with the wealth acquired by their own labor.
The work she is paid for on Friday still goes on,
on off to grow and multiply through other hands,
and sold in other places and in other forms
all created for a paycheck,
and after which we hold no further or conditional claim.
To clarify this, that aspect is a potential calculus in all cases,
but in fact is applicable only in specific cases.
Each case must be determined in real time;
however an aspect consideration of this nature is commonly
taken as an offense by the news media
and political cell group spokespeople.
It is the prerogative of discrimination of data examination practices
to see all sides of every issue,
but that is the very opposite narrow focus that has
always reliably sold products on t.v. news.
These false structures of power,
held randomly in the incapable hands of persons who have
either built up or inherited tremendous wealth are surely inequitable,
but perhaps tolerable; until hubris leads these persons to
attempt to inflict their screwy ideas and social philosophy
by grasping onto all that they can see before them,
by the widespread purchase of political influence.
That influence is in turn mainly exerted to further exploit their workers
and minimize the tax liability for their own wealth gained in that way.
Thus excluding the past manner that wealth has reentered society,
and our common economy, by taxation in the past; but never now.



The whole money trick is to maintain the assumption
that everything is as it should be in terms of the overall local,
national and international distribution of wealth and privilege among people,
based on maintaining intact the centuries of inequity,
and accounting as nothing
the brutal force that created all wealth and even now
keeps so many toiling without a chance to live a better life. 
We are held back by the lame assumption that
the past binds us and prevents a future of
improved prospects for all.

It is difficult to approach this dilemma without attributing such attitudes,
and their results to the work of bad guys,
or to some deranged political scheme to manipulate the system,
to appear to change the faces of the current wealthy politicians
or media speakers that be, into another crop of the same creatures.
I want to be clear now in observing that there is little evidence
that this is a conspiracy as such, but something more like
natural opportunism, it would be assigning much more ability
and intelligence to these persons to specifically plan the disasters,
or even less so the windfalls that result from,
as much as their in poor capacity to understand
the calculus of their own machinations;
I believe they can then possibly possess.

Rather it seems the work of a group of persons
each one in beyond their own capacity to understand
the actual consequences of the actions they take in office
and service to those in office,
but instead they merely consider the perverse
political costs to themself of making a change.
We are living now with an uneasy remnant of our history
of exploitation of one another.
So without attempting to assert a quid pro quo,
but instead asserting that there may come
an acceptance of that past, as distinct
from the time ahead.
Going forward shall be considered as each one
a unique point of departure.
We see in our culture that long standing inequities
are slowly falling away, at least in the United States. T
his has happened not by legislation, or law enforcement,
but only by the essential efforts
and dedication of ordinary people like me and you.





xxv.) Time Does Not Exist. Only Clocks  7/31/2014   (513)   revised 7/24/2015

             "Have no mean hours, but be grateful for every hour, and accept what it brings. The reality will      make any sincere record respectable. No day will have been wholly misspent, if one sincere,
            thoughtful page has been written. Let the daily tide leave some deposit on these pages, as it leaves   sand and shells on the shore. So much increase of terra firma. this may be a calendar of the ebbs        and flows of the soul; and on these sheets as a beach, the waves may cast up pearls and seaweed.”

                  Henry David Thoreau  July 6, 1840

Time is slippery.
As anyone who has spent a wonderful afternoon
socializing with loved ones,
in contrast with when one has endured
 travel on a loud and crowded commercial airline flight.
Dig, that all time is not equal.
This is always measured only by each individuals’ own perceptions.
Two people strolling in the park together may each have
very different experiences that are affected by time,
related to their differing perceptions;
feeling different emotions,
 perhaps caused by changes in differing physical symptoms
and by each our own intellectual interpretations of events.
If examined carefully, these will be found to represent individual,
and specific differences of perception.
All of these aspects and many others may be seen
to manifest as what I describe as stretching and contracting time.

Time may be thought of as a natural, human sense.
Analogous of having a nose to experience smells;
our whole being, in each our physiology
from birth to our demise we each deploy time
and are each effected by time,
so in effect we are each ‘time organs.’
I reckon it is true to suppose that every person
spends her time in the best way she is able to,
but generally in our culture time is fractured, refracted,
clicked off in a tally by clocks of all description,
but the true utility of time is that it is part of,
and available to all, if we only knew it.

Because we mainly sell off the bulk of our time
to a boss, for money, and because that
money earned thus must then acquire all things for us in turn,
and accomplish all we are with a paychecks’ blessing alone.
We then naturally feel obliged to battle for both our money
and at last, our own time,
because we ‘need’ to make some equation work,
so that it can be supposed to support us, and all our responsibilities.

This bit of bitter insight, as each of my described variables,
make this system equation medicinal in practice.
I must stress plainly that I do not offer this work to the reader as fact,
discovery, true assertions, or yet bogus hoax.
My intent is to present in this system an
accessible metaphysic equation; exploring diverse ways
to understand, think about, and discuss with one another
the troubling aspects prevailing, and perhaps even caused
by our dominant culture existing here in North America.

You must be able to hold onto 37 ideas
in a single consideration; to ride this ride





xxvi.) Entering a new economic cognizance is transformative             8/9/2014    (417)                                                                                                                                   revised 7/24/2015

            "Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks                        of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.

             As if you could kill time without injuring eternity."
  
                       Henry David Thoreau  Walden (1854)

In this variable, by transformative, I mean to indicate
economic diffusion that equals out without prescribed taking;
or the politically, or economically dictated decrease
of the anyone’s time, money, or property assets.
We each have our own piece-worked conception,
puzzling how we may think or hope the nations’ money
supply is managed today.
The object of this system is simply describe
a few critical connections so we may begin to think
of changing the world view of money, capital
and our separation by it (money) from infinite aspects of objects,
commodities and human beings, presently thought of
as the sole provider of human redemption.
I reckon that the whole continent may be transformed
and only with human, neighborly adjustment of ambiguous reality.
And change cannot mean ‘take.’ Persons must be each on the balance, so that sharing does not mean losing, and the taking now is only prelude to sharing forward.

Money is the lynchpin of our system of rewarding labor,
production, and risk. Consider that all of the money
circulating in cash, bills and coins, is only
a narrow slice of economic activity.
Most ‘money’ remains data stored away;
money put out at interest, compounding.
This ambiguous state of existence that money takes on,
is affected by, and is even controlled by pre-determined
chronological aspects in the Nth individual's accounts,
all with plotted activities’ outcomes. There is no way possible
to change peacefully anything of injustice
by taking money away from people who have it.
However it is certainly in each ones power
to change her perception, and just so
peacefully enables changing many things around us.

Something new and transformative is coming down the road
and I reckon not too far off. Today we insist on looking straight
at the faces of atrocity in more close and immediate fashion
than in times past, and although the world is
putting on its typical side shows, arresting the usual suspects,
you are indeed the fountainhead of change yourself;
your own potential to rearrange the ideas
you have of life’s living into a better place,
and by a way that suits you better,
and that balances things for you.
Then everyone can float together
out of the status quo by imagining a sweeping change.





xxvii.) Bound by misunderstanding money and time   8/11/2014   (497)     revised 7/24/2015

            "The night in prison was novel and interesting enough... It was like traveling into a far country,        such as I had never expected to behold, to lie there for one night. It seemed to me that I never had      heard the town-clock strike before, nor the evening sounds of the village; for we slept with the    windows open, which were inside the grating. It was to see my native village in the light of the             Middle Ages, and our Concord was turned into a Rhine stream, and visions of knights and castles        passed before me. They were the voices of old burghers that I heard in the streets. I was an           involuntary spectator and auditor of whatever was done and said in the kitchen of the adjacent             village-inn — a wholly new and rare experience to me. It was a closer view of my native town. I      was fairly inside of it. I never had seen its institutions before. This is one of its peculiar            institutions; for it is a shire town. I began to comprehend what its inhabitants were about. " 

                Henry David Thoreau   On Civil Disobedience (1849)

I have known friends throughout my life
who are juggling a world of job and school,
and all the time trying their best to stretch themselves
in pursuing their artwork, music, relationships,
faith, family and profession. 
The complexities inherent in these simple aspects
of a life are worth at least acknowledging.
By taking life for granted we have abandoned
our own time, never to have it back.
We model ourselves after our family,
or teachers, or movie actors and rock stars;
but unless we manage to eventually shed these false idioms
that serve us as props, we are obstructed by them
because only in gaining our own experiences
can each person eventually achieve the feat of being human.

It is so interesting that we are each born fully human,
then by the acts and attentions of everyone we meet
and everything we learn, our nagual is squeezed practically
out of existence by the labels, rules and principles
constituting our tonal; this contain merely
everything we have learned so far in our lifetime,
and just so, our humanity desperately longs to escape from it.
By each one’s own constant, continual constraint
that each of us is wrapped into, layer by layer by our tonal,
we can no longer see the world,
but live life only by its descriptions.
Find your own path, and use money to bring you time;
that is a happy transaction.
Don’t imagine I am advising you to quit your job
and chase a dream. The change I am prescribing is
completely inside your own mind.
I don’t suggest that you ‘do’ something;
rather I am telling you that you may see
and perceive and think for yourself.
Understanding will come along naturally with these,
provided that you have not previously nailed it down somewhere else.


xxviii.) Person Migration, Shipment of Goods
                        and Educational Propagation   8/14/2014   (645)   revised 7/25/2015

             "In the long run men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately,      they had better aim at something high." 
                  Henry David Thoreau    Waldon   (1854)

To fix festering long standing problems without apparent cure that,
it is useful to broaden the scope of our perception
of what the problem really is; and so thus where it came from in the first place.
Villainous equations of ‘max profit,’ individual greed, deceit, ancestral hatred,
bogus ideologues and other deadly sins are perfectly clear and well documented,
but the gigantic overlap of interests that exist,
are chiefly only legacies of past hatreds and injustices,
begotten by the worship of money.
Even at that these too are all chiefly the result of
well-meant but ill-considered legislation
by politicians unfit for their office
simply because of their tiny capacity
to understand the consequences resulting
from the votes they have sold themself
to their masters ($$$) for to cast for those  narrow interests.

Working out solutions to these, and all other societal sufferings,
is a task that will never be legislated or accomplished by committee,
much less by armed force, border walls, concentration camps,
terror, or weapons of mass destruction.
When one sets out to unravel the knotty tapestry
of greed, fear and injustice this world has come too,
the very things that seem to make our lives possible;
money, jobs, school, state, prisons, segregation from ‘the others’, etc.
are only attached to us by our tonal and thus we never
even think to question them in any serious way.
Professors in universities and pundits in the media
suggest endless schemes to rearrange the existing pieces
on the board, all while pointedly never claiming
they will solve anything; but only shuffling around who gets rich,
and who are left in the dust.

The roots of all these problems appear to me to be very much linguistic,
and so metaphysical. Politicians who try to address any societal problem using,
for instance plural pronouns; they are thus defeated from the start.
We lose sight in the confusion that all problems at last are personal,
no matter how many other ones are seemingly affected,
in similar or even identical fashion.
The simple change from thinking of ‘people’ to
thinking of ‘persons,’ in our calculus, cannot help
but alter the course of all stemming thought.

If immigration of ‘undocumented’ persons causes fear and anxiety,
it is fear of the same sort of person that have always been your neighbors,
your employees, even your friends and relations; and then odds are
that you are a dupe member of a political cell-group. One that whips up your fear by rhetoric coming from that cell-group's attached media delivery apparatus' announcer
sheading crocodile tears for the ‘injustice’ of their jumping ahead
of persons who are patiently waiting their turn
(as my Uncle did for three years in the 1950s),
I reckon those newcomers typically are also despise
because they rarely join that political cell-group.
Those motherless children from Central America
and Mexico now attempting to come here in unprecedented numbers
are not seen by politicians or their lapdog media as human beings at all;
but mainly as a political threat to their sinecure
from a more diabolical candidate
n the next cell-group primary election.
No consideration is ever given to the advantages of welcoming
those children to the United States, and helping them become
solid, healthy, well-educated adults who love us for our attentions.
Nor do those pious hypocrites have any moral compunction 
against treating persons in need as they would not be allowed to treat animals.
This political bullshit denies the bald fact that these
persons are now, and will in future be the bonanza needed to heal
our dysfunctional economy (i.e. a fully funded Social Security trust fund).



xxix.) Distortion = good/bad over useful   8/19/2014   (320)   revised 7/5/2015
This point is so important to my own understanding of the world
that it comes up in relation to everything.
Distortion caused by our own past perceptions color
the new things that we encounter every day.
It is natural for intentions to skew our perception towards our fond intent.
Those distortions are necessary in fact to actually attain our intentions.
Because we take language for granted and so speak, and listen both
in a sloppy way, we become ever distant from new people me meet,
and so become ever further from our own ability to express ourselves
and our ideas to them, or likewise understand them in return.

Too much top end, and the recording begins distorting.
A wah-wah petal worked by a tasty player just as she likes is wonderful to hear. 
We make allowance for distortion; in conversation we always do our best,
but always what we say deviates to some extent from our exact thought. 
Talk is slippery, just so you notice.
If we try to make allowance for this distortion in language,
by listening closely to the speech of others
we are better able to discover their meanings.
Understanding this helps us to quiet mental formations
that prevent hearing past objectionable words or phrasings,
thus just that, allows us to hear out what we miss-perceived at first,
the thing we think that another seemed to be saying.


The little bit of grace that we grant to one another,
is the building block to resolving misunderstandings, even conflicts.
It must always be individual and intentional.
That seems like a very small thing;
but I assert that fleeting pauses allowing grace can ripple around the world.
We all suffer in our own fashion.
Conflict, hatred, fear, thirst for revenge for past suffering;
each of these, if not defused safely,
may fester and cause great injustice and devastating heartbreak to all.




xxx.) Resources are the moving parts of the economy   8/25/2014 (738)
                                                                                                                        revised 7/5/2015

 "Most men, even in this comparatively free country, through mere ignorance and mistake, are so
  occupied with the factitious cares and superfluously coarse labors of life that its finer fruits             cannot be plucked by them. Their fingers, from excessive toil, are too clumsy and tremble too much for that. Actually, the laboring man has not leisure for a true integrity day by day; he cannot           afford to sustain the manliest relations to men; his labor would be [thus]depreciated in the market.        He has no time to be anything but a machine. How can he remember well his ignorance- which   his growth requires- who  has so often to use his knowledge? We should feed and clothe him            gratuitously sometimes, and recruit him with our cordials, before we judge of him. The finest               qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one  another thus tenderly."
                  Henry David Thoreau

The origins and the nature of our own national economy are not recognized,
and is even denied to be inseparably tied to global fortunes in every region,
encompassing every person everywhere equally.
Clearly then, perception of, or any thought about isolated national economy
or economic union is a recipe for disastrous miscalculation.
We grind up all economic activity into mere dollar signs
in musty ledgers and media programed stock market crawls.
We feel imprisoned each one of us because our own tonal is bound in these,
so at last we are defeated, as all the labels we have attached to everything contain us.
Peeking wistfully out at a freedom, that stays seeming just out of reach,
we tell ourselves that we must accept that this is all there can possibly be.
But inside of every one of us, our nagual claws with a nagging,
incomplete feeling of loneliness that we all have;
a feeling to some extent, that something is terribly wrong with our culture
or maybe ourself or just the whole world,
and that the deck is stacked to convince us,
as Voltaire’s young protagonist Candide repeats,
that this is indeed the best of all possible worlds.
Now what is needed is for each one of us to be the best possible individual person
that we are able to be, and absolutely recognize that persons are at last
the most valuable parts of every economy.

Commodities, raw materials, manufactured products,
information, books, artwork, and everything that holds a value in itself,
are at once private and also public objects.
Add to that transportation services, food preparation work,
medical, tonsorial, auctions, insurance
 and everything persons make and trade away that is real in life;
these are all then reduced to money figures in columns on countless ledgers.
To our sorrow we seem to forget that in fact a carrot is not a number,
and a haircut is not a tally of figures,
even though they are generally accounted to be just that.

Such miss-perceptions have evolved over centuries and for good enough reasons;
political, diplomatic, logistical, technical, military, and criminal.
All of these have blurred distinctions of reality,
they seem to offer us alternatives to our present win/ lose dichotomy
of living together here now on the planet we share.
When we individual persons decide to shake off historic oppressions,
the grudge hatreds, and inflicted sufferings; and stand
straight and tall together without fear of want;
the trick will be turned, but only as persons change
one by one can a new balance of perception be considered.

Our planet yet contains abundant resources;
but political expedience has brought us now to a tangled web
of past errors in judgment; perpetuated by those whose interests
are richly served by those same old errors.
Are you conditioned by our culture to want?
To want riches, want security, want an education, want peace and want love???
Clearly we need all of these, and they can be had by every person in the world
in an economical fashion, but that can never be quite possible, monetarily,
this last in fact, is quite impossible.
Only when you seek that equality in your own equation,
by calling out your own nagual,
even if it is reduced in you now,
to only the soles of your feet,
each one adds your weight to the balance for peace and justice.


xxxi.) The deadweight of government can just fall away           8/27/2014      (237)   
                                                                                                                        revised 7/25/2015

The reason world societal problems seem unchangeable
is chiefly because we think that there are no agreeable,
or workable alternatives.
We take an odd comfort in looking to government officials
and their irrational laws to make the hard decisions to protect us
by keeping those other, less reliably law abiding citizens in line.
It is strange that we do not own those problems ourself,
so then to work to actually solve them ourselves.
Why not begin to dismantle the crooked structures that defeat our freedoms,
and that we have earned by voting carelessly
for their Congressional malfeasance?
Congress has demonstrated definitively in this century
that they are of no value to us whatever,
and completely superfluous to our well-being. 
Additionally the economic benefit of Congressional demise,
felt nationally is surprisingly great in every respect,
not a single person would not benefit greatly by this event.
The bond of co-existence is well understood by all persons in the United States;
and that bond is generally only disregarded
for specific, personal desires and reasons,
chiefly caused by a past, and the present clumsy,
inefficient and dishonest juggernaut of injustice attached to it,
raging constantly out from our archaic form of paternalistic government. \
All of this can truly disappear, and practically overnight,
if we each one of us declare our intent that this shall be the case.

            "One cannot too soon forget his errors and misdemeanors. To dwell long upon them is to add to       the offense. Repentance and sorrow can only be displaced by something better, which is as free and original as if they had not been." 
              Henry David Thoreau  January 9, 1842
Each one of us has a mind, a free will and a brain in common,
and so everyone has options that we may choose among
to make each of our life as well as may be, for us and our own loved ones.
It is not useful to predict how any persons' path may turn and change
as time passes them, only that the intentions bolstered
within each person by learning, and life experience
may determine that for each individual.
At last the talents and abilities we attain
combined with the desires and actions we undertake in that attainment,
sprout in each ones wonderful new perception of each one our own nagual.
We each one must labor,
this and each find our own way to survive and be happy as best we may.
Each variable included in this metaphysic equation
relates a step many others before this author have taken on their own path,
and just as this is my own expression, I know that each reader has her own too.
The solution to all the worlds' challenges is a little bit in each of us,
and so much more in the young ones who will come after,
but also do not give up on the elders who have longed for it
but have had no way to even think about it,
only because a life’s injustices have pressed them down so hard for so long.



P T S Dharma  (12/8/2014)      (948)    revised 3/8/2015           (total 3029 words)     

A warrior who serves in the military is trained to function and to endure to the maximum extent of her training, I suppose. The process of assimilating the various components of training is in fact medicinal; to ones’ mind, and shall we say your ‘spirit.’  This goes far to account for the countless service men and women and veterans who daily demonstrate excellent and honorable military service, and then enter back into our much changed communities at home to sink or swim as they are able.

In combat we are rapacious in our drive to survive it, and our comrades in arms are our womb of safety to make our passage, and to allow a discharge of each one’s own duty and return then back home as a unit, return to a now perhaps distantly recalled life that each decided to leave behind to honorably serve it, each one with all her heart devoted to defend it. Post trauma stress disorder is a sweet, crazy description of a need that others have to describe us as we seem in common; but it is up to us, only up to each one at last to disarm, one by one, the traps her right defenses have left in her, after these are no longer needed. Because these defenses are completely individual, but yet had served each warrior well enough, the same desired goal of moment to moment, day to day survival. For as long as these defense mechanisms are needed. It is natural that individual differences lead those we return to, to recognize that the sufferings many warriors experience appear so similar that a label P T S D has palliative effect and meaning for them, but in fact many of the ones who have served and who are labeled thus are deprived by that label of the device to learn at last that the problem is truly only individual, and personal to each one. And can only be overcome by this perspective and in time.

This is distinct from the class issues in terms of the disjunction of considered risks VS benefits any parent and child will encounter ‘viz a viz’ all decisions going forward. Micro family health issues are granted the widest prerogative in every one but in a few key aspects. In exchange under the law we accept controversial propositions for the greater good as may prevail or especially how we may promote or detract from a given consideration of any type or any class. I refer for example to social disputes such as fluoride in water supplies or of relative risks to a child from vaccination as a ratio compared to risk suffered by exposure to a society experiencing reduced vaccination or fluoridation results concurrently in retrospect.

When we are young and are powerful; and wanting to defend our country, protect our heritage, or just to get out of Dodge, it is an age old impulse to step up to duty as we see it. But war, politics and carnage today is at last so immediate, and so visibly ghastly, not just suffering our own private hell in silence, as so many have in past wars and conflicts. Today our warriors are suffering a peril and danger that is laid out graphically to be viewed everywhere, and knowing that loved ones at home are affected in that way adds weight to the pack each warrior carries in and then home from battle. When we reach out beyond our past limitations the results can have a great and sometimes a horrible, unintended effect by the consequences that may be triggered inside her head at the whim of fate, or a moments’ inattention to duty. We focus on our nation’s interests, our company’s interests, and our own in turns, as human beings do. In general we are reaching out to the unknown, trusting it holds fortune, but demanding in return all that we feel we are due.

In harms ‘way we build up our own individual and constant defensive equations. We believe that it will best protect us; and so it must shift to fit each need, or each occasion of danger. Maintaining this crisis condition, even over only weeks or months can cause us actual physical changes in our human brain. Of course I am not, nor do I claim to be completely current in all technical neurological research, but by observation with an artist’s continuous diverse perspective, and confirmed perhaps by your own life’s experience. If this is indicated by changes remarked in loved ones behavior and complaints in tandem upon return, and reflected largely  sadly in the passage of time, sometimes it is very evident in the difficulty the warrior feels adjusting to the obvious and also uncertain aspects they typically see, forward movement changed family and friends as it has ourselves; can these be reconciled?

In fact P T S D strongly resembles the non-physical, non-medical indications arrived at similarly to a similar diagnosis of any mental condition; that indicates both the P T S D and bipolar disorder diagnoses only describe broad spectrums of symptoms that have been observed in people who may share similar descriptions of behaviors that were diagnosed from differing individual but on each one labeled called P T S D alike. Each one of us who have develop important capacities and processes that, under threat were, or seemed to be vital to our survival, but as circumstances changed, became more static, and perhaps safer, so no longer serve us usefully. Alas, now that a warrior is ‘safe’ at home these defenses that have been hardwired into us do not just fade away.

P T S D: Lost in the bi-cognizance       12/14/2014      (439)    revised 3/8/2015
In dominant society where I exist day to day; me and it operate in a bi-cognitive parallel that, for this discussion I will term ‘polite.’   In contrast however; my own cognitive system is unique and the object of a lifetimes crafting.  My aim in every action and word is impeccability; that means simply that I take responsibility for my own words and actions, even the smallest thing.

It flows from this that I consider my world closely and from infinite perspectives; and the words I speak or write are the result of this process, and those are always only the thing that I feel must be said, and that thing be stated plainly. This is of course the very opposite of being polite; but has the two-fold advantage of saying my point clearly but in fact the other may not be so clear on my intention, and also doing it in the smallest possible part of time, but so often the time I meant to be saved is lost by that anyway.

As a result nearly everyone I have encountered in dominant culture gladly trades the time they spend in polite fashion in hopes of a little civility for themselves and some peace, but in my own experience with that polite process is that the communication soon shifts at last into old and worn channels of capitulation and hurt feelings anyway. I saw that my returned G.I. father make his own path in going along with my mother’s wishes, and that he perceived of that as his sole refuge, and really his best hope to maximize his chances of having some peace and quiet.

This perception I developed growing up is always the first pin prick of my own p t s d that  equates a loving family as taking on my own ball and chain; and that is always a given every time I look into a woman’s eyes. But now, looking back I’m not sure this should have been so important to my decision to exclude certain women from my consideration, especially when they had signaled an interest. As another layered defense I despise signals and signs in this context, although I understand they are polite. But perversely It is of the backwards nature of me that I do not allow myself to see these honest signs, leading me over and over, always to social disaster. Thus today I remain unencumbered by a wife, and close friends, but free to remain without their charms, comforting attention or human touch.

There and Back, to and from P T S D    12/15/2014    (812)                  revised 3/8/2015

The only way I can live my life as I have done is with the supposition that I am invisible, and thus I reckon that, when I leave her presence, she forgets that I was ever there, and practically immediately too. Also I simply accept anything she tells me at face value, shrugging off any ambiguity. Of course this one system aspect started out as wishful thinking and evolved into what, in dominant culture is seen as a sort of psychosis, and with reason. Looking back I can now understand that I will certainly never ever hook up with anyone believing, just so, the things she tells me, only that she tells me with words. Because myself as such, give out largely only love, and thus direct communicative language in my own words, I hope so in all conversations in which love appended may immediately indicate itself clearly to a child of my own delay by  focus of intent, ‘this so that’ prevents immediate focus in too many sad cases of love lost or misconstrued in chicks past.. 
My perception of polite rejoinders is that they always constitute a clear disjunction, that feels deeply ill advised to consider at all, or that at least not without a real understanding of the speaker. This because whether they prove to be right or else prove in error, a decision in either case can be, at best uncertain. Keeping with this view of all disjunctions is vital in logical, philosophical and artistic fields of study, because one cannot build reliable equations on untested hypotheses, for down the line these may collapse due to having been built on an unstable foundation. So when a warrior does not trouble to distinguish her own mental obsession for keeping clean data she and it may soon become corrupted, made useless as a stable basis for building a romantic, or any other human relationship. So with this one may remain suspicious of all persons in dominant culture and for that mere fact. See always instead that those other persons too have each their own fractured and conflicting intentions from infinite sufferings. This is reason enough to always speak plainly, and to wish that others could grant their own temerity, in turn, if only for the sake of brevity. I do not overlook the seeming dumbass contradictions of this paragraph, because of course we are each at our core, all suffering very similarly rooted in in a warrior’s life lived without recapitulation. Still some persons are going one way on the money path, while others choose the warpath backward to that former time when money was unknown on the North American continent.

There are numerous pin-prick stress sticks that I feel in me frequently, to change my attention each time I catch a woman’s eye and she returns my tiny smile. They make me turn and walk away so to prevent a relationship from flaring with any woman that I have met thus in my monastic role. In two decades of Buddhist practice and service I have heard so many young women each recapitulate to me all the sufferings of her life, and  in turn heard each one of them say why she came to the terrible unhappy place that I met them, out on the night streets. They spoke to me when they saw I would hear them, and I heard each one say that she was suffering from a painful and undeserved betrayal. So often numbingly, the abuse they received was from their own Father, or from another man who should have loved her instead, and listened to her, and treated her better. I don’t know whether or not I was in error with this thought; but for the hell of it, that felt right to me then. Rightly or foolishly I decided way back to gather power in becoming  just one man in each apprentices’ life that loved and respected her; and that too, without fucking her in the bargain, because I saw that if a girl cannot ever trust a man, she is defeated by that, all through her future adult life. 

It is these gestures of helping others just so, that accumulated power within me, and with that power I reached for intellectual goals of spirit that may come to a man who steps on the path that I have chosen, and surely that has come to define me. By this the unknown aspects of life are plain to see reveled. From childhood I have understood that the things that I could feel only viscerally, were against the flow of the intentions and purposes of everyone around me.  Still the more I fell into conventional channels to gain acceptance in social situations and financial success, the more disoriented and unhappy I became.

Neither Either if you please okay?  part four of four  12/15/2014  (818)        revised 3/8/2015

The form I have chosen to couch this dharma on has struck me as odd, and perhaps that is true. The most telling symptom that so many share in common suffering post trauma, is the inability to give and to receive love or to trust ourself and/or trust our lover. It is valuable to see infinite connections to our own suffering, by seeing another person’s at first seemingly disconnected complaints; and learning to recognize solutions useful to heal ourself in them. There is so much more to learn and express about this subject, and few are more important for healing of us than our own capacity to find our own healing path.

Those who served us in military adventures overseas, suffer neither more or less debilitating symptoms, as those who have suffered traumatic violence or sexual assault at home, or away at school too, and from infinite other causes, oblique suffering and debilitating ennui from countless internal, individual symptoms we suffer in common. Thus too  equally so in every nation, from the after effects of the traumas each one has also endured. These mental formations do not dissipate without time, effort and continued personal consideration and attention to each one our own healing.

So the more I come to care for a woman the greater becomes the terror that wells up in me. Not fear of love, or of commitment, or losing my perceived freedom; nothing of that nature, for I am now beyond being hurt in that way by any other person as every warrior must be. Still this is not the end, but it shall be an accepted (even if not kindly accepted) new beginning for every warrior and all loved ones.

Rejection burns me instantly, I admit that is true, but that is over in a moment, and my life of practice has given me tools to process and release negative feeling quickly so that they do not linger. I am fifty something years old and never married, and though there is nothing stopping me from asking any woman for a ‘date,’ as we called them in the day, still I feel a reluctance to be absurd and that to me is more difficult than rejection. I am concerned about how my own nature will effect and distress her too; for as Motley Crue sings it: I’m a ‘live wire.’ I am liable to go off in infinite directions at the slighted incentive as my artwork leads me.

This aspect is important and distinct from obsession; for trauma brings one to an altered state that may change, and perhaps redirect a person’s focus away from the world of dominant cultural social norms, out infinitely into any direction. The distinction between the two is just this, obsession is intentionally pursued for a purpose like money or power or control or sexual, or any other desires; while infinity is directed by spirit and carried outside of the norm at last only for the hell of it.


Don’t think that only military warriors suffer from their personal p t s d. Each person’s own recurring points that have ever in life been affected by trauma, and those defenses persist in her own day to day life. Just so, as my own monastic vows cannot be swept away by a simple decision that they do not well serve me any longer; so much worse and more difficult it may become to face the defenses inside each service man and woman in harm’s way, when the time comes to go back home after a long continued service in perilous duty . Remember that those described traumatic aspects were very likely instrumental in each person’s survival in combat. Understanding this point alone is a key to each person finding her own way back to a ‘normal’ life at last. I have struggled with my own problems, twisting, testing whatever I can think of changing myself; for a full year now as I have blogged about them and my struggle, painfully, honestly, and maybe even numbingly, for my work has no value otherwise. The solutions are never cut and dried, no two persons suffering are exactly alike and so even knowing what hurts does not effect a cure right away. Please believe that if you can isolate what the heck they are, I am confident any one’s own symptomology now thought adequately described as p t s d, may be overcome at last if we do not give up on ourself or forsake our loved ones by removing our own self from them. Isolation seems to relieve the worst immediate causes we suffer from those clear sore spots that one feels; but we step into an array of worse problems that will never recede from us until we take a stand, and battle now for our own life.

I. Our Human Capacity May Be Better When Delighted          (393)    revised 3/8/2015
             “The flaw with words is that they always make us feel enlightened, but when we turn around and   to face the world they always fail us and we end up facing the world as we always have, without           enlightenment. For this reason a warrior seeks to act rather than to talk, and to this effect he gets a    new description where talking is not that important, and where new acts have new reflections. “
               -don Juan Matus
            If set free of the financial demands of survival all persons are likely to seek the education    and advancement that fills up their capacity for desires that come to all persons who see           them clearly. The key to having one's desire is to care to know what to want. Many unhealthy desires are born of deprivation or as post-traumatic mechanisms medicating           our suffering from other causes, other sources of misplaced negative emotions that keep             arising inside.
               -don Juan Matus

            “Our fellow men are black magicians. And whoever is with them is a black magician on       the       spot. Think for a moment. Can you deviate from the path that your fellow man has lined up for you? And if you remain with them, your thoughts and your actions are fixed forever in their          terms. That is slavery. The warrior on the other hand, is free from all that. Freedom is expensive,       but the price is not impossible to pay. So, fear your captors, your             masters. Don't waste your time            and your power fearing freedom.”
              -don Juan Matus


I reckon that all negative and persistent bad feelings that we accumulate cause us sometimes to face a long walk back down to that disjunctive split that happened, and only then back to the sidetracked path that was to be left behind. Recapitulation reveals for us to know clearly all of the missing parts that we could not reconcile; between what has been and what we desired, feared, hated and forgot about in turns. The disparity between those and present desires is what make up our compromises, and recapitulation can bring reconciliation, that helps one to forget those sufferings from doubts and remorse and uncertainty about past persons and events that may have left lingering shame as a bitter result.

Variable Universal Happiness  second variable of four          
II. Continuous Education Entitles Greater Expectations 12/14/2014  (686)  revised 3/8/2015

            A warrior chooses a path with heart, any path with heart, and follows it; and then he             rejoices and laughs. He knows because he sees that his life will be over altogether too      soon. He sees that nothing is more important than anything else.
                -don Juan Matus
It is past high time that we should agree to abandon the educational practices of the past century. The concept of segregating young students by age groups, and expecting them all to learn the same curriculum at the same time has proven a failure at best; and a disaster for those who fall behind, and even for those who have mastered the work and are bored into a disdain for her fellow students. Resentment is similar for of teachers who are caught by imposed burdens that exhaust their joy and energy, so that some who do not, or cannot go the extra mile to meet their students' needs.

             Intent is not a thought; or an object, or a wish. Intent is what can make a man succeed         when his thoughts tell him he is defeated. It operates in spite of the warrior's      indulgence.     
                -don Juan Matus
Teaching and learning are synonymous in practice. If a teacher does not experience stimulation in working with students, she will become frustrated and bored; and that brings out resentment, too often in their teacher mind rigid categories are formed separating good students who are not a bother from bad students who are then given little credit for what work they do manage.  These are the time worn paths that students are herded down not because they deserve that, but because budget restraints have lead to larger class size, that divides the time the teacher has to share with students. Pressure from above to then have students perform measurably better year to year further aggravates that good student/bad student dichotomy, so that learning has become completely problematic. The sad part of all this is that with all of these distractions from the goal of education, it is not possible to predict which students in this mix of tonal and expectation/abandonment will emerge from a given class educated in its subject. Success in teaching/learning in schooling in the new century may easily be achieved by following this simple equation below:
            Learning = Fun
            Expression = Lesson
            Listening = Hearing the Other

And so in adopting these simple changes the present dilemma of children not wanting to learn, will go far to reduce and even eliminate altogether misbehavior in most students. This simple trilogy of altered perception of educational intention may spell the death knell for the present system, and that has been ringing for decades. Now that every student has a personal device with which to chat away; in lieu of paying attention to the teacher, the profession has degenerated from teaching into babysitting. While the students may yet gain an education for themselves, in fact the status quo is a huge waste of time and money all around, and the result is we still play with the fire inherent in the inertia now built into in the system.    

            When a man embarks on the warriors' path he becomes aware, in a gradual manner that        ordinary life has been left behind. The means of the ordinary world are no longer a buffer      for him; and he must adopt a new way of life if he is going to survive.
                -don Juan Matus

The good news is that with our present resources, education is freely available to be had elsewhere with free or inexpensive tools, and many persons world wide are availing themselves of these, to great effect. Perversely there is a growing pool of highly credentialed persons entering into the work force, but employers are now incapable of evaluating these person's merits without some credential to do this for them. So even with so many students graduating with expensive degrees, those are in fact only credentials; and are promises too many graduates prove unable to live up to.

No borders that cannot be crossed       12/16/2014      (790)                revised 3/8/2015

            “The world is unfathomable. And so are we, and so is every being that exists in the world.
                   -don Juan Matus

            A (shaman) as a teacher, must first of all teach about the possibility of acting            without believing, without expecting rewards – acting just for the hell of it. His success as a teacher depends on how well and how harmoniously he guides his wards in this       specific respect.
                    -don Juan Matus                                                                

            To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather, an endless     struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a   warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves         into one or another.
                   -don Juan Matus

 As many different senses of meaning as that title No borders that cannot be crossed may convey are a totality that, considered dispassionately, only small progress here seems to, at last relieve a majority of the intractable problems thought to be beyond helping all.
                 

            Whenever the internal dialogue stops, the world collapses, and extraordinary facets of          ourselves surface, as though they had been heavily guarded by our         words
                    -don Juan Matus

We close ourself off from the others with the fears we each have. But these fears have root in resentment at always placing financial obligations above all other desires to enjoy or precious time as we would otherwise prefer, these resentments only keep growing, because of our own refusal to face our fears caused by specific personal p t s d –like things inside ourself and these fears and suffering are identical in those of every other oppressed or post stressed person. Indeed both sides, for and against more open borders have similar fears and false perceptions each of the other group. Our leaders do not step up to their responsibility because in their view, reform must come only by consensus not by leadership; and this statescraft is one that has been engineered to be impossible to achieve in fact.

            The average man is either victorious or defeated and, depending on that he   becomes a persecutor or a victim. These two conditions are prevalent as long as one does          not see. Seeing dispels the illusion, of defeat, or victory, or         suffering.
                -don Juan Matus

Any and all substantial progress to having Variable Universal Happiness must assume that the debilitating hatred, fear and suspicion of all perspectives can, eventually be evenly reduced, and set aside, such as has been happening in baby steps around the world for decades. In seeing right decisions and right actions as improving free ability for all persons to cross borders, that will benefit us all more than only a privileged group that up to now have unduly influenced our leaders who so because they have sold themselves for wealth and power, to narrow moneyed interests. Too often the status quo just carries forward, at any cost, as if change were not rolling downhill and upon us, and because such change is clearly in the interests of all persons.

            Denying oneself is an indulgence. The indulgence of denying is by far the worst: it forces    us to believe that we are doing great things, when in effect we are only fixed within     ourselves.
                -don Juan

The object we intend in closing border access completely is apparently to allay our own fears for ourselves and for our own concerns. A useful result of liberating persons oppressed by our fear and misgiving is that object promises to cost us much more in the future than allowing each one now to have their own freedom of movement will, even only as allowed by regulation, and with practical and described limitations.

            The hardest thing in the world is to assume the mood of a warrior. It is of no use to be sad and         complain and feel justified in in doing so, believing that someone is always doing something to           us. Nobody is doing anything to anybody, much less to a warrior.
                -don Juan Matus

Without being limited by old set misgivings now currently sold politically among cell group proponents, and broadcast to spread fear and xenophobia by interests who fear it or profit by it. Easily we may see that cooperation and good will are more profitable than barriers of intransigence born of fear, greed and hatred as rule our leaders and those who are frankly buying their infamous support in heartlessly maintaining the tragic inhumanity of excluding persons who have become absolutely unable to freely cross borders, and not only in the United States, but so too all around the world.

3.     Barriers to perception from unrealized distortion indicated. Each following variable may be considered to contain four separate and distinct aspects that I arbitrarily term BOB and CAROL and TED and ALICE; as titles of these bipolar factors that affect the nature of all human experience in polar positive/negative and male/female aspects, depending on the case, each may/can have great or slight affect.
        §  BOB        = male/positive      (+)  Id
        §  CAROL  = Female/ positive (+)  Id
        §  Ted          = male/negative     (-)   Ego
        §  Alice       =female/ negative  (-)    Ego
4. Language/Metaphysics create barriers of communications breakdown
     §  Idioms/roles
     §  Syntax/Sentence Structure - simple/complex
     §  Elocution/Persuasion
5.     Barriers of fear, insecurity and mistrust are the P T S D in any individual; and is            actually only a custom collection of each persons’ own particular aspects including:
            §  Personal Priorities
            §  National Governmental Decisions
            §  Inequality and Injustice World Wide
            §  Racial Differentials
            §  Cultural Traits
            §  Fear
6. Barriers from inescapable errors in ideological vehicles that maintain the status  quo:
            §  Authority Apart from Persons
            §  Accepting Surface Appearances
            §  Created Desires/Wants
                ¨     physical/sexual
                ¨     mental/educational
                ¨     emotional/emotionless
                ¨     religion/you must               
                ¨     spirit/I must
            §  Underlying    Cause/Remedy
                 ¨     Poverty
                 ¨     hunger
                 ¨     lack of access to health care
                 ¨     ignorance
                 ¨     crime
                 ¨     war
            §  Connections  Obvious/Obscure
                 ¨     nationalism
              ¨     economic doctrine
              "     religious dogma
              ¨     imperialism
              ¨     Freedom
               ¨     “Free Trade”

7. See money in new aspects and thought  evolves new perceptions that  they show:
            §  money is occasional
            §  money is chronology ¨ I’m late for a very  important date
            § ¨ DON’T YOU DARE PLAY WITH THE    BANKERS KITE
            §  GIVE DEPOSITS A SECOND "JOB"

8.  Our chief barrier is of our bitter fear forged by Statistics that cause busy persons to conclude,     unfairly, oppression to be justified, reasonable and economical.
            §  Name results rather than dollar amounts/percentages
            § Crime reports and statistics are worthless in preventing future crimes, and in fact the          opposite implications have been indicated true in accounts of trends.
            §  Statistics allocate funding.
            §  Statistics create fear create poor choices.


Maybe it is simplistic to say this Variable Universal Happiness is a reasonable goal to aim for, but at least most of us have some concept of what this may minimally be in an ideal world, but many will say that it is impossible to imagine that it can really happen. I present here my most current analysis of this subject in outline above. To me it indicates that the peace path John and Yoko expressed is the most useful to adopt, and I offer my work as a metaphysical expression gleaned of my own life, in trying to see to express how this aim can at last be achieved.
