About
the oppositions and the
cramp.
The
difference between the esthetic and the
moral intellect is an important
distinction. It makes the difference
between war and peace. Out of balance the
two will oppose and wage war. In balance
it is difficult to separate the one from
the other. But still the distinction is
necessary. It is necessary to see this
because it is the reality. For lust and
love we must not arrive at repression
making false preferences for the one or
the other. Only a conscious regard of this
distinction can lead the way to a balanced
(individual and world-)culture of mutual
respect. It is not to make an opposition
of international cultures with one taking
the esthetic argument and the other taking
to the moral. It is not only within one
culture, but also within the same person
that this must be seen. Man has this dual
nature of saving himself from the moral
outcry with the esthetic practice and from
the esthetic infatuation with moral
directives. One has to understand the
physical underpinnings of this dual nature
of cultural, mutual social and collective
respect next to individual selfrespect.
To the
differentiation of our brainfunctions we
know to be emotional, esthetic at the one
side and moral, rational, and regulative
on the sequential of time at the other
hand. This duality of serial and parallel
brain function is essential to human
integrity. It compares time to the place
and makes up the identity of the person.
Loosing balance in this will have grave
consequences for not just the individual,
but also for the collective. History gives
ample evidence of how disasterous the
unbalanced schizoid nature of one
individual can work out to ruin the
complete of societal selfrespect of the
collective. This distinction cannot be
separated from the true nature of human
sanity in general. Being sane implies a
balanced functioning according to time and
circumstances. In psychology this is
popularly known as the here and now-theme
and in psychiatry it is the basic test to
check for the correct knowledge of time
and place to determine the quality of
individual reality-testing.
There
are further ramifications to this theme.
Politically one is forced to accept
pragmatic agreements of time, but loosing
the link with the locality of timing
culture goes off-balance: will the
European Union manage to respect the local
cultures or will it be a false excuse to
exploit all for the sake of a cheap common
gray suit of culture to which no one will
feel happy or will manage to realize who
one really is. Centralization and
alienation are things to fear. To
depersonalize loosing ones local culture
will necessitate compensations that might
not work out as just and righteous as one
would like. One's soul is easily sold when
even at the top people have to fight to
keep some public image, some personal
sense of identity and self, going on
outside of the office. That image will
tend towards a false elite and secured
areas for ingroup member only. This is a
social perversion, and it will surely
enrage the comon man who quickly
recognizes this historic fall-down of the
people in power.
The same
problem can also be observed to the
cultures of the media, knowing books,
television and the cinema. This
compensatory cramp of identity found in
all realms of society is classically known
as the symtom of alienation and
compensation making ego instead of soul
and war in stead of peace. It makes
opposition in stead of recognition of our
true common nature and interests. It
obscures the distinctions (as e.g. between
the esthetic and moral intellect, the two
legs the soul is walking with) and breeds
false oneness which practically results in
individual and collective
depersonalization or simply
madness.
I can
also expand this to the religious
oppositions: catholics and the protestant
did not recognize themselves as the same
christians making opposition of plain ego
blaming oneother ones own weakness of
making false authority and deviant
practices. It is like two people wearing
oneothers shoes, not knowing it and
feeling uncomfortable in it. One blames
the other of being the cause of the
necessary penance. The protestant may not
enjoy and the Pope may not mary. This is
not how christianity started. This is how
the ego has cramped up being alienated to
the here and now of a balanced lifestyle.
Also in between religions this can be
observed: moslims fight against christans
accusing them of the esthetic
falsification of the intellect while
christians blame them to be merely another
lusty predator moralist trying to kill for
more territory. Hindu's fight against
christians and muslims for being demoniac
and impersonalist acting impersonal and
demoniac themselves with it, while nobody
realizes anymore how this all historically
came about and is maintaned.
This
internet-site called The Order has the
perfect lead in the solution to all these
historic problems. It simply proclaims
natural order as the solvent for all
cultural cramps and madness. And indeed it
works like that. It is simply no theory
but the practice of of the same historic
outcome that people of all times realized
after any war was over: face the chaos,
clear out the rubble and restore the
authentic order. Thus the new
enlightenment of the New Order. I wish you
all the best of this realization.
yours,
P. Chaste.
