About
fruitive labor, unemployment and The
Order
One of
the fundamental problems of cultivated man
is the fruitive act: from the apple of
Adam and Eve to the stockmarket and the
creative modern artist: taking profit be
it materially or intellectually might lead
to hell. Changing our ways leads to
conservative forces: we must maintain and
stop the creative act. We are too much of
a 'shit'culture (the 'creative' ego) and
not enough of a culture of respect
(remembrance and soul).
The
Order is not that simplistic though. It is
important to restrict the creative by
offering the fruits of labor to The Order
as The Order would settle against the lust
of fruitive action by means of
timeschedules and a discipline according
to the eternal values
(../../images/theorder/images/values.jpg):
on chakra days and regular sundays and
saturdays we do not work or develop
fruitive activities, but instead socialize
and preferably deny secondary media of
keeping distance. It is true that this
policy necessitates a redefinition of the
concept of work (read fruitive labor). The
Indan concept of karma might apply better.
One should not forget that the word
unemployment is a political invention:
there is no mention of it in the holy
criptures. In vedic literature there is an
alied term 'akarma' that could be
translated with unemployment, but the
guru's assure us that this is wrong:
akarma means to serve the spirit of
goodness, God and the eternal values of
human civilization. Fruitive labor they
indeed defy as something that has to be
given up. The thing is that these same
guru's are not so explicit as to when this
fruitive activity of making it should be
given up (thus creating their pupils): is
it for once and for all or is it just for
the holy days of resting with the
calendar? Isn't religion after all nothing
but a demand for spreading our holidays
and daily hours for work in such a fashion
that it is impossible to get overstressed
and thus unholy? It might just be so (on
the premisse of our goodness).
