Dreams On European Cosmonomic Culture Of Enlightenment

 


Has „Europe“ already gone,

once again?

I am standing there rather empty and bare as an unswerving believer in liberty, emancipation and peaceful democracy which I am regarding as the essential goals of European spirit. Perhaps they were true in the beginning but have faded away in growing decadence and turned into pure fake.

Instead of creating a concrete European identity, the member states turned back into stupid nationalism, into turbo capitalism and war philosophies – all these ideologies based on disastrous deceit by extraordinarily expanding institutions of incompetence and self-satisfaction.

Instead of bringing order into the own house, new member states without democratic qualifications have been invited generating increasing troubles which logically lead into chaos, into “Brexit” and to even more and more war entanglements.

Instead of strengthening and improving the originally proclaimed democratic principles, laws and independence, bureaucrats and technocrats gave the power of ruling the Unit into the hands of bankers, companies, lobbyists and speculators – all of them far away from any democratic mandates.

Instead of developing modern and effective systems of education, health-systems and reasonable economic infrastructures, the European administrations bowed before nonsense infiltration from US-America, Russia and China and proved just to be a play ball between the real giants in world affairs.


Europe” obviously is fading, but I still have dreams … that one day more and more people will have the same ideas of liberty and will bring them together into reality – after the doomsday scenarios of pandemic, of climate hysteria, of infinite growths of economy and population with all the ideological dangers of war outbreaks.


One day … when I'll have gone far, belonging to the past, a lonely and lost historian might remember my present disappointments, wishes and hopes for a coming brighter time in Old Europe for the benefit of even the whole world.

Dreams! I know.

Just to stand upright before myself and mankind to value Cosmonomic culture of enlightenment.

The Here And Now Of „Our“ World

 


There has never been a true and real democracy, they all are and were deceitful. Thus the actual terrifically fast but nearly soundlessly happening disintegration of the so-called democracies can be explained.

They fall victim to their own incompetence, but in no way being clearly aware of these processes.

Similar dust was in concern at that time when the establishing of the actual semi-democracies took place which, at the end, has been a dictation act of the military victor powers performing themselves as democrats but – in the sense of the word – have never been ones and have not become ones to this very day.


Of course, not even a bogus morality can prevail on self-deception and mendacity. And this is the Here And Now of “0ur” world as it has always been alike in learning inability and in spitefulness of even academic heads and of nerds anyway. There is no recipe against. Cosmonomic approaches could indicate perspectives at least, but the question arises: Are new perspectives wanted at all? Or is their necessity denied even?


Mankind has been waiting for enlightenment since centuries whereas it doesn't count neither the epochs of devastation, the localities nor the sacrifices, it is counting instead consistently on Gods, on their proconsuls, on their (medial) propagandists, on their exploiters and torturers. The Interim Human, as only a precursor of a developed humanity, is getting permanently lost in warmongering, arming and slaughtering each other using hypocritical arguments of excessive stupidity sounded in blatant lack of education, in lack of empathy and social awareness, in lack of objective cosmopolitan humanity.


Dawn of a new way? – No land in sight!

End of the world? – All kinds of ideologies and religions are “praying” for it, I don't “pray”, as a Cosmonomer, but I am looking for causal knowledge and do declare all “world saviors” mad. The world is much more than the Interim Human only.

Come together, Europe, stand upright!

 


Europe!


Do take and understand the opportunity to your purification which is laid down in front of your feet unintentionally by the war criminal, Wladimir Putin.

Prove yourself, Europe, liberal democratic, enlightened philanthropic and united!

Intellectual Revolution

 


The world goes mad

not for the first time

it has always been sad

so full of sorrows and crime

not only for the lower classes

as well for the giants and mightiest in chief,

for the lonely ones and the crowded masses

and so among the dirtiest like the tidiest in believe.

It's a strange thing living like slaves

not knowing, not feeling it, not asking: Why?

Instead always keeping on digging countless own graves

seeing the worldwide poverty, but being too shy to cry.

Even more, playing the cards of this tragedy

not really looking behind the curtains where the reasons are

so clear as definite, it is just banality

as we all are pretenders not going as far

to recognize that our lifestyle is the exploiter of the others.

We follow the priests, the preachers, the propagandists of state,

betraying us, our present and future, but no one bothers:

´Don't worry, be happy!´ We're on the sunny side,

love our dependence on money, defending “freedom” with arsenals of weapons

which we use and sell everywhere.

No enlightenment of mankind ever happens

until there once will be no echo on the question: Are you still there?

Conclusion?

It is evolution, because we've missed in it an intellectual but peaceful revolution.

The Actual Pest (CG30)

 



Cosmonomic Glimpse (30)

from a Viewpoint of Liberty



The actual pest of our present is the coincidence of climate-mania and incidence-pandemic, both as mental illnesses, which are pretending to take care of mankind, just for spreading radically inhumane over the world, taking away from the liberal human any basis of development, to destroy it: The excessive desecration of mankind and nature!

The intelligent minorities are facing enormous challenges of persistency and of correction of this undesirable development that is disintegrating mankind.




Die eigentliche Pest unserer Gegenwart ist die Koinzidenz von Klimawahn und Inzidenz-Pandemie, beide als Geisteskrankheiten, welche die Sorge um die Menschheit vortäuschen, um sich radikal inhuman weltweit auszubreiten, dem freiheitlichen Menschen jegliche Basis der Fortentwicklung zu rauben, zu zerstören: Die exzessive Schändung von Mensch und Natur!

Die intelligenten Minderheiten stehen vor immensen Herausforderungen des Durchhaltens und der Korrektur dieser die Menschheit zersetzenden Fehlentwicklung.

A Beacon of Enlightenment (CG29)

 


Cosmonomic Glimpse (29)

from a Viewpoint of Liberty



This world is my world,

this world is your world,

this world is ours, it belongs to all of us.

To all of us with same rights for living and dying,

with obligations, as well, of respect and tolerance

which are rooted in intelligence, education and humanity.


But isn't it just the singing and preaching on Sundays? Just a nightmare against reality? Closing our eyes and ears – our brains just to follow the oppressing instructions of very different rulers with opposite intentions coming out of ideologies and religions which all are claiming “higher values” than human life and which are demanding our lives as sacrifices for their inhumane purposes?

No dreams, no prayers ever will free us from these rotten systems of everlasting historical returns and repetitions.


It is us only to become reality, leaving the mentality of the bravely following underdog and not to exaggerate by turning into immoral fighting dogs.

Cosmonomers exemplarily have to cope with the real world as their own beacons of enlightenment which may be seen – by chance – by others, too and give them orientation.

Repressive Democracy (CG26)

 


Cosmonomic Glimpse (26)

from a Viewpoint of Liberty



By mightiest massive media manipulation the state form of Representative Democracy has mutated into a Repressive Democracy, unable to keep up and defend the ideals of humane enlightenment.

Very clearly we are facing the preliminary stages of dictatorship in the so-called “Free World” which is ruined by its own double standards and a giant lack of education, boosted by fatal misunderstanding of humanity and by abuses of sciences as well.

Inner Emigration

 



Cosmonomic Glimpse (18)

from a Viewpoint of Liberty



Ever since in mankind history

enlightenment has survived by inner emigration only.

The common “Interim Humans” have no idea of it,

they do not understand

because they want to believe

they want to be governed and lead by their adequate

Presidents, Chancellors, Kings and Popes

and their adjutants

who know in all

what is right

what has to be right

how to preach and insist

and how to punish any doubts

or exterminate any dissidents.

So

every Cosmonomer,

Pacifist, Cosmopolitan and Freethinker

is symbolizing an Island

within a tremendously roaring crowd

of inhumanity.


Take good care of yourself, my friend.

It is ours to live exemplarily in peace

and dignity

whenever and wherever we have the opportunity.

Part of the Universe


Cosmonomic Glimpse (16)
from a Viewpoint of Liberty


Cosmonomic philosophy is not an academic one but is considering the thinking, feeling and acting in practical life concerning culture, politics, religion, economy, social structures, science and nature, freedom, peace, humanity and democracy – just to mention only some aspects.

Cosmonomy does not depend on any nationalism, racism or any thinking of superiority, it is just determined by the thoughts of enlightened people practicing emancipation by the consciousness of the cosmopolitan destination of mankind instead of narrow-minded regional views and dogmas or religious variations of doomsday prophecies and “holy wars”.

Cosmonomy does not deny the love of home and family, the love of home countries and humane social societies but Cosmonomy is embedding them all into the facts of cosmic dependence: because our unique home planet The Earth, is situated in its own overwhelming home which is the fabulous Universe.
So we are part of the Universe, we, too, belong to the great Cosmos with its valid natural laws.
And we should behave according to these generous rules which enable us to ease daily life by intelligent responsibility for the benefit of human dignity which is one condition to alleviate so many problems that cause lots of our quarrels and sufferings.

Being Independent For Advocating Liberty

One may reflect on “liberty” endlessly, up to now it has not been enough to reach a global or regional breakthrough.
Whether it will happen ever, one may negate in light of present times, but human intelligence has been good for surprises again and again.

We must know that freedom is not to be defined by subjective feelings, but there is a need of objective criteria to establish commonly binding recognition and acceptance. Requirements for such a cooperation, however, are exceeding most of the sociopolitical options as well as those of possibly intended concepts of the future.
Advocating freedom realistically can only be an individual effort of solving the well-known dilemma.

It is not about to abrade oneself or others in “freedom wars” but, remaining true to oneself, to practice non-violence and love of peace. Imprisoned or assassinated advocates of liberty are missing consequently afterwards when convincing and liberal thinking and acting is needed.

Calling reasonably for liberty demands for own personal independence and qualification not to fall victim to possible destroying reprisals by employers and chiefs. Maintaining a livelihood should be certain, time and informality should be given as true humanity, of course, information sources and learning ability are essential. The convincing own example but not own contradictions are serving as a basis for discussing questions.
Are those criteria missing, one should act cautiously in public, in one's own interest and that of the near social surroundings, one should not expose oneself to the versatile bullet storm of ideological enemies of freedom and their opportunistic accomplices.

No war ever has been reasonable, every war means pressure culminating in the effacement of life!
This, certainly, is realized by the spirit only that is marked by independent freedom!

Systems of unfreedom can be curbed by true transparent, forward-thinking and consequent politics only and not at all by military upgrading and encirclements or even by preceding armament supplies that invite directly to unscrupulous escalations of violence.
War always and solely is unfreedom on all sides due to ideological dictatorship and ideologized stupidity.

True transparent, forward-thinking and consequent politics”?
A fata morgana, you may reply sarcastically.
But fact is: Powers that call themselves liberal ever and ever built up first their war opponents because of profit-greedy trading. And this principle is continued today in unchanged manner.
Thus voices of freedom are not welcome. They are hushed, are excluded in some other ways or are removed.

Liberty is living in many humans but is proclaimed euphorically even by the unfree, is perverted by brainwash of massive scale.
This is the sharpened barbarism in the world.

Liberal enlightenment like, for example, the cosmonomic philosophy has to reflect this in realistic caution to survive with dignity at least in its beginnings.
The target is the life and not the death, all the efforts are dedicated to humane living and its ongoing development and not to the always unilateral claim of “morally relevant sacrifices” of torturing and killing individual persons and entire nations.

The apparent calling for freedom on the basis of downright unrestrained armament and warmongering characterizes so far the endless captivity of mankind in its tragic unenlightenment.

Let us start: Right now!

Cosmonomic world-consciousness does not resign before the most dazzling figures on the political stage.
Really independent consciousness does not sprout by party membership and by religion affiliation, not in ideological relation to the worldwide inhumanity.

Free-spirited Awakening: Now!
Recommendation:

  1. Internalization of the Cosmonomic Manifesto
  2. Studies of the complete Blog Raymond Walden
  3. Discussions (if possible) in the social environment
  4. Usage of many quotations from the Blog
  5. Frequent visits to the Blog
  6. Sharing and recommending

The goal of this free-spirited awakening is not a political organization but the possibly worldwide establishment of cross-party cosmonomic philosophy of consequently humane thinking of individual persons.

Orientation, encouragement, vital energy and self-confidence in the minds of belonging to a worldwide enlightenment, to a liberal initiative and to a spiritual offensive!

The intelligent world gives us all a welcome and stands open to incentive thinkers.

The Refugees' Tragedy


Refugee Crisis


 

The Interim Human doesn’t Escape from his Causality Circle


Analysing, planning, acting, reviewing the result, confirming and covering it.
Believing doesn’t mean analysing but, at best, well-meaning attempts of speculative ignorance.

Once again Europe is presenting itself disunited upon its supposed values and its fixed values within global mankind. The reason of this is, for long, a smouldering and now exploding refugee problem which obviously is overcharging all the parties concerned. No solution is in sight because wisely ignoring politics created the prior conditions of the refugee masses and are clinging to their lunatic principles inspite of the acute situation.

Analysing the Countries of Origin

Most of the countries the refugees are coming from are characterized by Islamic persuasions, are covered by violence and terror caused by different contrary interpretations of the Koran. There is no Islamic country having even an approaching free and democratic order because such a social system is contradictory to the Islam in all its conceived shades.
To the same extent the religious orientation is preventing technological progress and economic prosperity, except in those states which, from a western perspective, indeed are violating human rights but are staying in a “strategic” partnership with the capitalism. The excesses of violence and civil wars in the refugees’ home countries are fueled by extensive supplies with arms from abroad, among others, member states of the EU, Germany to a large degree.
The so-called “Arabian Spring” was supported by manyfold western activities and led to the overthrowing of Islamic dictatorships, leaving the countries just in chaos as the western officials didn’t think of any alternative concept and, at last, had to recognize that Islamic citizens cannot agree with the western canon of values at all.
It seems comprehensible that more and more people are trying to flee from the endless suffering and the barbaric mutual slaughter and that they leave their countries at the highest risk of their lives making desparate use of all opportunities to find refuge in functioning European states, particularly, as the refugees, in practice, are insufficiently and wrongly informed about Europe and the world at all.

Analysis of the European Union

The world public and in particular the European Union for a long time have known what is going on in Islamic states and just as long the eyes have been closed to the misery of refugees which is now escalating and is waking up Europe from its complacent partitioning and is leading it into unhibited nationalist disagreement.
This federation of states that refers hypocratically to “Christian values” practices, by its own protection, an impoverishment of the “Third World”, exploits discretely the so-called developing countries keeping them dump and poor by flimsy and miserable development aid.
The situation is getting worse by the significantly capitalist cooperation with unjust regimes like Russia, China and others which nevertheless are acting worldwide in sharp opposition to the EU and, just like them and America, persue flourishing arms trade and supply rogue states as well as terrorist organisations with war material.
Peaceful solutions in crisis countries are prevented by veto votings in the UN Security Council, are ruled out by the honourable “business partners” of a global capitalism that is liquidating uneffectedly human lives for money but is giving itself the appearance of being religious, emancipated and philantropic.
This has nothing in common with “enlightened” order of society. Though, for example, many people are turning away from the curches these institutions of faith still have a traditionally deep-rooted power and are in close connections to all kinds of secular institutions. Leaving the churches hardly means a turning away from religious attitude but rather a turning to quirky pseudoreligion, esoterics and lack of contact with reality.
However, certain secularizations led to Europe’s enlightened progresses over all fundamentalistic and orthodox stagnations in the crisis states.
The fear for Islamic immigrants, in cosmonomic view, is justified because of their religion which is causing conflicts and delays.

The refugees have no idea how long since undemocratically the might has changed from the EU to the capital, to banks and big firms, instead they hear and see of prosperity, welfare and freedom particularly in Germany which meanwhile is the leading economic power of the EU. As other EU states, especially Great Britain, also a powerful economic EU member, are refusing the refugees the wish to come to Germany seems quite logical. Germany still may have the most liberal order in form of a “Grundgesetz” which, de facto, is not even a constitution voted for by the people.
So the refugee misery is also caused extensively by those countries which now are the goal and hope of the maltreated ones – a causality circle that can’t be solved because the EU is not able to analyse itself and the world.

Planning?

Thus there will be no forward-looking planning and not at all a humane and liberal-democratic solution.
Refering to my aphorism at the beginning there will follow no reformed acting. Any ad hoc decisions will not change the underlying cause.
The general growth illusions are not impressed by the concrete human suffering.
We are facing a world situation – for the refugee tragedy isn’t only European – which the decision-makers of these world states, in their interim human limitations, do not understand or do accept approvingly.
Helpful groups of the population on-site definitely feel more responsibly the duty to humanity. But their praisworthy and admirable operational readiness doesn’t change anything of the disaster’s cause which represents a result that politicians, elected by the helpers, share the responsibility for.
This, of course, is disputed vehemently and ideologically!

French Assences


No, France,
this was not love at first glance.
We met at the time in 1959,
your tricolour flew over the garrison in Donaueschingen, southern Germany
and I lived opposite in a refugee home.
Till then I had been acquainted with Russians only as occupying power.

Ten years later, France,
a study-trip took me to you,
to your richness of culture and nature.
In Paris a word of anti-German contempt came over,
it was the one and only time, then never again.
And, France,
it took but quite a few years,
then we met again and again.
You were friendly, charming, open-minded,
perhaps a little careless, yet full of civilization,
so skillfully living, although ever prepared for strikes
and full of social burdens.

I am ashamed, France,
having not learned your language.
You made it quite easy for me
to succeed in English, recently in German, too.
And when serious difficulties came along,
at the doctor’s, for example, or at the police-station,
after some experiences of trickery,
helpful people were present.
But I feel easier, France,
not to understand the endless advertisings in the media
and the many schmaltzy songs.
By the way, in Germany I am in the same situation
when mainly English popsongs
don’t reach the brain so intensely as the
newly increasing German “pseudo-philosophies”.

Your politicians, France, from Paris
evade  my detailed interests as the German ones from Berlin.
But I appreciate the seal on the friendship between
Germany and France as the greatest issue
that politics achieved ever.
Let us, France, never doubt on that.

Your historical heritage, France,
Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité,
was drenched in blood after the revolution,
it also is not convenient with your national anthem
and not at all with your Foreign Legion.
But the realisation of the Enlightenment, France,
is our joint project
for a humanity
which could take the Franco-German reconciliation
as an example to follow.
Verdun is a reminder.
Your big cathedrals, France,
like the small mouldy and poor churches prove,
as the German minsters and the state-funded churches of this country,
the unsuitability for preventing wars.
They are museums with partially fascinating architecture.

What is significant about the different names of the Alsation “Sauerkraut” or “choucroute”?
The River Rhine is connecting and is passing by as a frontier of yesterday.
Your way-laying, France, on your motorways can be forgiven
as you offer clear infrastructures and free relaxing quality of travelling.

I cannot claim, France,
that I am really knowing you.
Again and again I felt drawn to your coasts,
I climbed up your huge dune of Le Pilat,
the beaches of St. Tropéz are familiar to me.
From Mont Ventoux I peered into the Provence,
many places there I have visited not only once.
I walked in Vincent van Gogh’s tracks in Saint-Remy,
Paul Cesanne’s in Aix-en-Provence,
Pierre-August Renoir’s in Cagnes sur Mer.
On Nietzsche’s Path I ascended to Èze,
and often on long journeys, my stopover destination
is Denis Diderot’s morbid rock town of Langres.

The Roussillon with its Cathare castles, the Pre-Pyrenees and the 
coasts around Argeles sur Mer with their famous tourist magnets
seem to me like a second home.
I am enjoying here southern lifestyle and I relax
at the thundering sea surf or at quiet water surface
when I swim towards the rising sun.

I paid a visit to the ancient “human” of Tautavel,
once again I met Pablo Picasso in Ceret,
I was inspired by Carcasson and, totally up to date,
I had a picnic at the solar furnace in Font-Romeu.
I bathed in the River Tarn under steep canyon walls,
was impressed by Pont d’Arc in the Ardeche-Gorges,
and I went sightseeing along the terrific Verdon Canyon.

Your markets, France, your brocantes everywhere
as well as the international audiences
are offering a permanent flair à la perfume from Grasse
or better: an aroma of the mediteranian ocean of fruit.
There is one bitter pill: The bloody bullfight in Arles
touched me intensely and made me doubt reason of mankind.
But even your contradictions, France, don’t reduce your attractiveness.

You should be lenient because
I have appropriated you simply by thought.
When I come along inconsistencies in Germany,
I look at you, but in no way I am finding suitable answers
as I don’t only verify “living it out” with you
but I recognize much of conflict,
thinking of your suburbs, of your nationalism, militarism
and some esoteric aberration or of the exemplary
decadence at the Cote d’Azur.

To me you are important as a European root,
different from Germany in her American vassal relations
which are not perceived by most of the Germans
and also of the other Europeans.
Your way through history to the present seems to me
somewhat straighter than the German odysseys.
But concerning your petty burgeois identity,
there might be many international similarities and,
in cosmonomic sense, also insufficiencies.

Your advantage for me:
I am not living there every day, I am always a traveller,
a straying caravan vagabond
who values the uncomplicated contacts with all sorts of people,
but also, with some exceptions, appreciates the certain
non-binding nature of a maintaining distance at any time.

At all times I like to come back to Germany,
just for engaging myself with you, France, again,
and be it only via the German-French TV channel “arte”.

No, France,
I am not addicted to you,
therefor I’ve visited many other countries also.

I am concerned for a true identity of values.
This doesn’t exist in dictatorships, oligarchies,
monarchies and theocraties,
it consists of a republican individual authenticity
of which previously modest but serious easiness
is wearing particularly your colours, France.
