UM DIÁLOG PODEROSO

 

Traduction en portugais:

Francisco da Cunha e Silva Filho, Rio de Janeiro

“Um novo ser humano!”

“Quem?”

“Seria necessário um novo ser humano?”

“ Não já existe número suficiente de humanos?”

“Não outro: o novo humano.”

“Quem seria ele? E o que seria?”

“De qualquer forma, um ser humano diferente de todos os que surgiram até hoje.”

”Quem foi o que o precedeu... ou o que foi ele?”

”Seguramente humano não foi. Ou ou o que foi?”

“Até que limite você é suficientemente humano?”

”Talvez, só um pouquinho quando reconheça a deficiência.”

“Como Você o reconhece?”

“Pelas ações de violência, de sangue e guerra, de espoliação e escravidão.”

”Então, assim, não se pode asseverar que ele seja humano.”

“De forma alguma!” Sempre haverá algumas espécimes que vontade têm de o serem.”

“Em que lugar?”

”Vão demorar a surgir."

“Será que conseguirão atingir seu destino?”

“Desde que concordem com esse destino .”

“O seu destino, assim, tornar-se-ia um traço distintivo ?

“Sem dúvida. Um rótulo de qualidade.”

“Todos quase em uníssono?”

“Nada disso!” Cada qual com a sua identidade individual.”

“Será essa característica identificada como um destino ?”

“As massas não se identificam. Não são o humano.”

“Em face disso, pois, não haverá paz?”

“ Só existirá paz com o novo humano... e, mesmo assim, unicamente após uma longa caminhada a um destino comum para a humanidade.”

“E esta humanidade não cometerá fraquezas desculpáveis, mas se manterá na não violência honrosa?”

“O seu poder é a não-violência. O novo humano será poderoso, mais poderoso do que todos os que vivem no nosso tempo.”

“Até mesmo todo-poderoso?”

“Nunca, visto que a onipotência é uma fantasia desumana da violência. A humanidade não pode considerar-se onipotente em si, mesmo a interpretação de tais embustes.”

“Poderia, algum dia, realmente, surgir este novo humano?”

“Sou cético. Mas, o que restará ainda para a gente? – Talvez somente seu destino sem igual.”

Getting Older (CG34)

 

Cosmonomic Glimpse (34)

from a Viewpoint of Liberty

Getting older means to see through omnipresent stupidity more easily and not to despair by doing so. (Sentenzen von Freiheit, Nr. 107, Raymond Walden)

Cosmonomically thinking people will not fall into a gap of emptiness. They cannot change the world indeed, but they value their worldview by more intense and intuitive understanding of their private existence (if possible in their political surroundings!) in dignity, liberty and humanity.

This, of course, may be a poor consolation considering the global underdevelopment of societies in the various cultures, but we have to face the truth that mankind is much more primitive than we have the time to realize during our daily struggles for life, or what religious and ideological prophets are propagating.

Being borne into these present times, we have to be strong and - in some kind - happy not to stand on the shores of boneheads.

War Devours People

Humans, under pressure and/or voluntarily, are showing their most unnatural behaviors and their immoral self-consciousness by planning and performing wars.

War devours intelligence first and then the whole person at all.

War always is broken from the fence for nationalist purposes. Sentences like “America first”, “Rule Britannia”, “The world should adopt the German approach” are even traditional and stand exemplarily for many more such slogans everywhere in the world.

It is not uncommon to construct, for the public, “much needed defense measures”, although more honest and more respectable concepts of avoiding wars are possible, but they don't go conform to the strategies of weaponry and war profiteers and , of course, are not in agreement with fundamentally ideological fantasies of superiority and claims of domination.

Cosmonomic philosophy, independent from all common world views, recognizes, above all, the right and the duty to protect life and no right to kill and to enslave humans, both latter evils particular as results of military blind obedience.

No right-minded person in the “civilized” world would advocate cannibalism. But war means ideological cannibalism, mostly justified by hunger for power and racist losses of mind.

Not until nobody will indulge in war any longer, a civilization will be reached that can stand firm, in the original meaning of the word.

The road to that point is leading via consequent rejection of war at all levels of sociopolitical life: in politics, in economy, in science, in education, in arts and literature, in the media, in short: in liberal emancipation.

By fulfillment only of this magnificent commission a resilient peace can be striven for and can be kept.

There is nothing more worthwhile for the intelligent human than this condition for also personal happiness, a happiness that no ideology and no religion can deny.

This happiness is a human right.

It is to be defended intellectually and wittily during every-day life against the main opponent of peace which is stupidity.

The superiority is consisting of proactive avoid of war by support of creating confidence and by no means military build-ups which embody nothing else but a permanent causal circle of murder, a sustained discard of humans to cannon fodder.

Pseudo-democrats who want to prove themselves but fail, and their cheating the people lead to repeated reorientation to the old nationalism of exclusion and enemy images.

The spirit of the Cosmonomic Manifesto disagrees with this decidedly and universally.

But the support for this freedom can be imparted through convincing own example only.

Therefore:

Responsible Citizen! Become an adult.

You aren't a “child” any longer. Earn and grant respect by cosmonomically liberal thinking and acting!

The human may overcome the immature interim stadiums of his development.

Consciousness is Thinking and Feeling …

… pursuant to the awareness which is subject to inner deceptions as well as to external manipulations.

Being aware of this, you may aim for objectivity and may certainly reach a remarkable approach to reality. In doing so, time is generating a valuable resource of experience which is offering the necessary distance for keeping track. Sovereign distance is the result of specialist and common knowledge and of rested composure, enabling to a directed and unexcited engagement.

A prerequisite for this is honesty and truthfulness towards oneself and towards the fellow men.

Consciousness without such a moral reduces itself to a stressful vegetating and, not seldom, also to a hollow sense of self-esteem, even to rigorous obsession with power.

When we look closely at the behaviors of certain politicians, regardless of their doubtful contents of speech, their tortured mental states virtually become clear, ever hunted by an evil opposition, even within their own ranks.

What kind of consciousness is grafted onto entire nations by dictatorial systems under such circumstances?

Which consciousness enables political judges to pass their arbitrary judgments? Which consciousness is driving army drill instructors, which the torturers, and which the executioners?

Do the soldiers' cheerful songs, when sent into World War I, have anything to do with consciousness or do they just prove the significant fact of epidemic errors?

Aren't nationalism and racism ineradicable plagues of a brain deformation, far away from consciousness?

Normally the healthy human is in awareness, of course, but in the case of indoctrination and ignorance, it is just reduced to the “being alive”: No backgrounds, no dissenting individuality, no development nor perspectives. The human consciousness does not represent a basic value, not even a typical unique human characteristic, rather a parameter of different intelligence and education, of cultural maturity and humanity. The life, being in accord with the actual reality, using the natural options for a cultivated optimization of life, is forming the basis of a dignified consciousness contradicting all the practiced orders of faith and forces of opinion.

Consciousness requires vital care, permanent comparison, updates under full reserve to historical reference.

The so-called liberal democratic society, in particular, is to be valued by this, and above all, it has to recognize its own deficits, which is evident for a humane consciousness and an adequate planning and acting possibly worldwide.

In other words: Cosmonomic life understanding.

As a Muslim, I Think Canada Should Ban the Niqab and Burka in Public

By   Raheel Raza

President of The Council for Muslims Facing Tomorrow, Author, Professional Speaker, Featured in "Honor Diaries", a film about women's rights

As a Muslim mother who never saw a niqab when I was growing up in Karachi, Pakistan, I am astonished to see Canada's judiciary caving in to Islamists who have nothing but contempt for Canada's values of gender equality.

I write this as a Muslim Canadian who does not have any specific political leanings.

But in the 25 years I have called Canada home, I have seen a steady rise of Muslim women being strangled in the pernicious black tent that is passed off to naïve and guilt-ridden white, mainstream Canadians as an essential Islamic practice.

The niqab and burka have nothing to do with Islam.

They're the political flags of the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, the Taliban, al-Qaida and Saudi Arabia.

Now I learn I have not only to fight the medieval, theocratic adherents of my faith for a safe space for myself, I have to battle the Federal Court of Canada as well, which has come out on the side of these face masks.

The ruling concerns the case of Zunera Ishaq, a 29-year-old woman who emigrated to Canada from Pakistan in 2008.

After previously showing her face to an immigration official in 2013 when taking her citizenship test, she refused to take part in the citizenship ceremony because she would have to show her face while taking the oath of citizenship.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government rightly banned face masks at such ceremonies, but this was found to be unlawful by the Federal Court.

With all due respect, let me introduce our Canadian judges to their Pakistani colleagues in the jihadi badlands of Peshawar.

In November 2004, the Chief Justice of the Peshawar High Court (PHC), Tariq Pervaiz Khan, ordered female lawyers not to wear face veils in courtrooms, saying they couldn't be identified, nor assist the court properly while wearing veils.

He scolded the niqabi women saying,"You are professionals."

Covering the face is not a religious requirement for Muslim women.

The injunction in the Qur'an is for modesty (for men and women).

Some Muslim women interpret this as covering their head with a scarf or chador.

A scholar of Islamic history, Prof. Mohammad Qadeer of Queen's University, Kingston, wrote in the Globe and Mail in March 2006:

"The argument about concealing one's face as a religious obligation, is contentious and is not backed by the evidence."

He added, "in Western societies, the niqab also is a symbol of distrust for fellow citizens and a statement of self-segregation. The wearer of a face veil is conveying: 'I am violated if you look at me.'"

It is a barrier in civic discourse. It also subverts public trust."

The federal Liberals and NDP are treating Canada's niqabis as latter-day Rosa Parks, fighting for justice.

This is vote-bank politics that is, as my friend and secular activist Tarek Fatah calls it, "sharia Bolshevism."

There is just one way forward: The next government must legislate the complete ban on wearing face masks in public, not just to expose the hypocrisy of the Islamists but for the sake of our security as well.

Freedom Defines Humanity

Man’s picture of himself and of the others is of shadowy appearance only. There are concepts of all styles and techniques, even complete paintings which are representing, at best, a respectively regional search but in no way the human in freedom.

Undoubtedly the human being – and not the subject – will find to himself only, if he lives in liberal circumstances.

The meaning of freedom may depend on superficial feelings but is categorically a question of intelligence and education, both to be understood as antipodes of egoism and self-assertion. At this level of self-consciousness only debates on freedom make sense.

Man is bound to historical facts, to conditions and inherent necessities which are excluding an absolute freedom in a manner that offers a “freedom of voting” between different options on precondition that the search for options is intelligent and responsible. This, then, is about developing individual choices and not imaginations of freedom, for example, under religious influence that is – similar to systems of totalitarianism – talking into believing in freedom by brainwash and enforcing it even violently.

Humane cosmonomic freedom requires higher quality than the current democratic implementations which, although pleasingly libertarian in comparison with the omnipresent systems of compulsion and the indoctrinated societies, do not withstand a sound analysis because they are hollowed by double moral standards and are cheated by interests of power and capital.

The contexts of such intrigues are becoming clear only by adequate background knowledge, by having wide and alert interests which are the bases of critical faculties and contributing capabilities.

Exactly those criteria are still concealed by the usual democracies at the beginning of the 21^st century by an unequaled misleading of the masses.

To sum up: Human freedom in such circumstances is impossible.

All the celebrations of “Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité” as victory of humane values got wild and are used as fuel for globally uncounted and even secret wars. Warmongers and war profiteers are determining unalteredly the fate of the globe by improving equipment.

Wherever this happens in the name of liberal self-adulation the methods are even more perfidious for the individual fate that doesn’t count.

However, presidents, chancellors, monarchs and popes may appear embarrassing but they play the keyboards of stupidity in a virtuous manner: Desperados of Egomania. Dictators, at least, roar out their hate of human freedom truly and unambiguously.

Freedom, in particular, is a brainpower creating nonviolence, freedom from military pressure, is preventing wars and stabilizing pacifism.

But pacifism doesn’t mean indecision on destructiveness, quite the contrary: Lived pacifism is fighting with logic, perspective and consequence against its opponents. For example, pacifism doesn’t practice apparently peaceful money-deals with unfree regimes, doesn’t exercise any diplomatic low trade, avoids weapon-deals and, inter alia, is creating distance to the less peaceful capitalism and to not peaceable religions.

Building up freedom and stabilizing it by force of arms is drawing a fatal phantom because weapons actually mean captivity of mankind characterizing the evolutionary interim phase which is marked essentially by stupidity, a typical state of mind that could be stopped long since by humane reasons were it not for mightiest powers against.

Most people objectively live in miserable living conditions as the world population is growing and a few privileged people only store their profits. This is applicable to several groups as well as to the United Nations. As long as the industrial and progressive societies which are systematically made dump deliberately conceal that status freedom will be an option just for dreamers to escape. The mob is resistant to peace and is kept specially powerless proven even by activism and idiotic diligence.

In Germany, for example, they drove methodologically the education system “on the wall”, they bungled the healthcare system, formed the media landscape into a sump of mockery of intelligence, they lost orientation in financial spheres, they juggle with dressed-up unemployment figure, they are even fighting war which is circumscribed in belittling manner, they propagate maniac environment scenarios that even the weather report is characterizing the whole situation: “Potential of thunderstorm or, simply, climate without competence!”

The only system apparently functioning without complication is spying and observing the citizens.

How is this possible in one of the most liberal states at all on earth?

Firstly, Germany is queuing up in the obviously international decadence of capitalism, secondly, the former “land of poets and thinkers” holds a special status as a direct result of the unconditioned capitulation of the Nazi dictatorship.

As is well known, Germany was divided into two states because of the controversies among the allied victors and to this very day there is no peace treaty. The West, at that time, hurried up and founded the “provisional” Federal Republic of Germany and the East answered with the “for ever” established GDR. It is historical irony that the “provisional” solution from the beginning played the better cards, and, after all, the communist state surrendered and was integrated into the “provisional” on basis of the Two plus Four Treaty.

This particular contract does not substitute a peace treaty and doesn’t guarantee the German sovereignty whereas the Anglo-American troops didn’t retreat from their occupation zones.

Furthermore the reunited Germany has no constitution because the valid Grundgesetz (Basic Law) is exemplarily and conditionally liberal but there is no legitimization by the people. The former parliamentary council (Parlamentarischer Rat), as creator of the Basic Law, was installed on command from the Western Allies and consisted of 65 identities (plus 5 not voting members of Berlin) and not of elected representatives of the people. (The federal parliaments were allowed to agree to the act.)

The Basic Law is conditionally liberal only because it includes Article 79 (3) which states that the division of the state into different states (Bundesländer) never ever can be changed. In addition, the Basic Law is demanding the establishment of a constitution as soon as Germany is reunited. Up to now there are no indications that the task will be fulfilled.

At the latest, since 1945 Germany is not a sovereign and free state even though it is comparably influential as economic power. This seeming potential follows from a strict dependence from the USA which grant to Germany the roll of a vassal.

Let’s return to the beginning of our thoughts: “Freedom is voting”.

The German citizens, like the most worldwide, have no options of free elected alternatives but are just allowed to vote on nuances within the failing capitalist society draft.

Most of the people don’t take any notice, they are not to realize. Whatever the global US-subjects are voting for, Obama and his actual wire-pullers will not be effected in their strategies of world determination.

For long terms such stultified meaning of freedom is converting the being of men globally into a dump twilight which, at any time, may violently escalate without any improvements of earlier epochs, and which is swearing solemnly mankind to live as underdogs for the arbitrary sacrifice on the battlefield.

Conclusion: Freedom exists within tactically ordered limits which hardly allow the founding dimension of human life.

It is firstly evident that cosmonomic philosophy today must be sensed mostly as futuristic and even as an ivory tower.

Nevertheless, the Cosmonomic Manifesto is indicating a clarification on the horizon, a mark of hope even for present times of usual crap, of anxious uncertainty, and of more and more unnaturally appearing loss of orientation.

The Pitfalls Of The Interim Human

Pitfalls traverse mazily and manifoldly the being of the interim human, they disturb it on various levels in also different intensities which, in the end, are responsible for the respective moods. Even the pronounced individualist is depending on such sentiments which he, in contrary to the mass human, can derive approximately and explain, if he is of sufficient intelligence and critical curiosity.

As social beings we are bound necessarily to the community which itself is needing really a form of government. This problem is as old as mankind and represents a stage of development the higher the farther the ruling structures are contrasting against the right of the strong and are turning to co-determination.

Today we rightly claim democracy to be the best possible form of state!

But behind this elegant and noble statement a fatal hypocrisy is hiding for present mankind because those societies which are calling themselves “democracy” are in fact just presteps, interim solutions with immanent cartels and string-pullers, with rigorous assupmtion of power in the interests of single persons and dogmas of faith. Those systems keep upright by massively influencing the public opinion, by definite lying, by targeted concealment, by lack of education in general, even by intentions of keeping the population stupid which, of course, is denied emphatically by “education experts” within such structures because they may not even notice it (or they aren’t allowed to recognize).

The less humans are understanding the more easily can they be made unsure, they can be directed, as one can observe by thematic undulations: waldsterben, mad cow disease, bird and swine flue, tick bites, climate, allergies, diets and so on are marking only some of the regularly recurring epidemics of mental sensitivities which, due to the severity, generate almost pseudo-religious convictions to be propagated as unimpeachable by even militant manners. The medially best proven concepts are the only criteria deserving this term whereas, apart from this, the deplored lack of clear planning is significant with broad sections of policy.

The pitfalls of the interim human are tightened within superordinated systems but “epilepsy” is also reflected in everyday issues. It’s going back and forth in endless serious debates: Value-Added Tax down but then up, public finances to be put in order but then gigantic debths, less bureaucracy then tremendous administrative regulation, decisive denying any competences of political opponents afterwards coalition with exactly the same persons. And as an almost compulsive must the incantation of peace to ensure it by armament, weapon deals and wars!

The stupefied people is occupied with getting bargains around the clock, with taking advantage of them and is cheated either. Or is anybody telling the customer honestly what one-hundred percent really is before the price reduction? Or are the shopaholics even interested in knowing which people are exploited for the production of the cheap goods?

On the contrary, the actually fleeced ones are adoring the Rich and the Beautiful, I frame it crassly, they have a tongue hanging out for their ill omissions and comments.

The interim human is both victim and offender, the offence can be described regularly as undue advantage, as an egoism that is practising unrestricted ruthless outside of any fair competition and rivalry. The methods also are following the same principles:

1        Complication of intrinsically easy procedures

2        Targeted and cunning misleading

3        Protection by cooperation with cliques combined with

4        Inability to think in terms of complex effects

5        Inhumane indifference and at the same time

6        Readiness to use violence

My following remarks should not be understood as denigration and looking at the black side but as stocktaking of an at any time extendable kaleidoscope of negative habits and behaviours of the interim human.

Are you, dear reader, readily able to “read” and understand your electricity or gas bill? What about your insurance policy or even your tax declaration and the following tax assessment? Your payships of income, deductions, bonuses – everything internalised? Your bankings – firmly in grasp? Or are you sure that almost every small print should actually appear in bold print?

These are only some complications of impertinent attempts to take advantage of you. For what else such wild outgrowths?

Do you still believe in tax equity as multinationals often don’t pay any taxes?

What are you to think of a confusing healthcare reform that is causing higher expenses – to the pleasure of pharmaceutical companies but to the disadvantage of the patients and even some doctors? Whereas truckers reasonably have to take pauses hospital doctors have to work 24 hours and more. Not to mention the other clinical staff that is exploited by low wages and, not least, by the resulting shortage of manpower. Can you seriously endorse a two-class-medicine (statutory health insurance verses private patients) that is expressing equal rights for all people but doesn’t put them into practice? How dump does the advertising of medical products take the citizens by repeating everytime at the end of the spot the same monotonous sentence: “For information on risks and side-effects please read the pack insert and ask your doctor or pharmacist.” Can you trust at all the “pharmacist”, if you remember his arsenal of esoteric remedies and all the quacks?

Is it necessary, from a legal point of view, to drum the much-quoted phrase?

How stupid, the responsible persons think, is the consumer and patient?

Obviously the contempt of man is playing a roll. The same applies to broad sectors of advertising because of its blatant penetrance and swindel, but this would be an issue on its own merrits.

We permanently witness the enforced conformity of the public by TV programmes. Instead of presenting ambitious contributions you can watch on various channels simultane cooking performances, then animals in zoos, after that magazines of amazing similarity, finally talkshows on all frequencies.  

Why is nobody protesting and taking the responsible ones to the task? – The people behind are puppet masters as they are dominating our complete media system by operating overpowering groups. Of course, this is nothing special, we are facing the same problems everywhere on the economic scene.

Can we really accept, for example, the “free competition” at the gas-stations? Or the “alternative offers” of big energy suppliers? The more concentrated the market dominance the more uninhibitedly appears the publicly approved or, at least, tolerated bullshit.

The often criticized German Railways hardly attract attention in this scenery. Apart from “technical” problems en masse their own employees don’t understand the jungle of travelling expenses, traffic network connections are cut. Punctuality is a word of yesterday, but they set their sights on the stock exchange, on the place of maximising their profits without effort!

At the stage of such self-assertion it happens that the complete workforce of the company is spied out from the fair motive of fighting corruption. This practice is used in all sorts of firms and nothing really effective happens against it. Apparently the interim human has ever had a spying tendency, if you think of the executive persons (executors) behind each espionage, from whatever society they originate: NAZI regimes, communist or capitalist communities. Those noble characters in any required numbers aren’t affected in any way by the situations of their victims, those are the useful columns of bastards which every injustice can rely on.

However, comparatively few common citizens only grasp the situation as the majority is occupied with their performances as communicating culture – the mobile phone is so important at any place, at any time and even more serious is the endless babbling.

A welcomed occasion for spies of secretly monitoring and localisation. Position finding and registration is also familiar on highways, on railway stations, in supermarkets and actually everywhere. How sleepy must be a mass that is bearing such harassments without resistance in a free democracy? One may suppose that the harassments aren’t experienced at all, at best people have some vague notion only.

Nevertheless, a definitive loss of democracy is announced thereby. We are on a disastrous way.

Dear reader, I suspect you have had enough. As so much convulsion is difficult to bear. You are right!

Although these were only some German examples we save us the glance at modalities in other countries because there, too,  mainly the interim human is settling.

But some important aspects have to be mentioned.

The responsible citizen doesn’t come into being or he is degenerating to a picture of misery within an ever since “God blessed” capitalism. A capitalism that is praising to the globe unscrupulously the US American presidential elections as an exemplarily democratic procedure, just there where the responsible citizen is prevented by money, where even the last remaining sharp mind surrenders – drone by the media, blinded or mobbed – and pleases himself about the grandiose beauty and immense vastness of the country in order to ignore the problems.

God may bless America and her vasalls, to the world the USA and her system mean a catastrophy – all the more physically because the “One-Nation-Under-God” lives in a great manner by exploiting the rest of the world. Regarding mental developments we are facing an unworthy infantilism to a “God”, if he was reality, he would undoubtedly be sentenced to death by the common American justice. 

But this is not going to be an unilateral scolding against the USA, naturally she is shaping many processes as the leading economic and military power, but other states surely don’t embody anything better. The Chinese system of society as well as the Indian or Japanese ones are by far much more underdeveloped and unenlightened and there is hardly to announce a success in consequent peaceableness, in respecting the human rights and true humanity in Russia and Europe with its small-state mentality. And no better conditions can be found in the Arabic sphere or on the Latin-American subcontinent.

There is no compatibility of the interim relations with cosmonomic standards but there will be no changes during our epoch which is ruled by excessive egoism that initially corresponds with evolutionary development criteria: The dominant will of self-assertion is prevailing but only to a degree of overpopulation with egoists who already now  are destructing more and more the foundations of themselves and of future life.

Cosmonomic philosophy is not compatible with actual conceptions of statehood, not with all practiced politics and confessions of faith because the interim systems surpress violently every in-depth knowledge and clarification, they don’t tolerate them.

We are missing a truly democratic culture of debate, so no official call for alternations or even system changes is recommended – for the sake of non-violence.

Non-violence stands for the cosmonomic minimum consensus of the humane. If cosmonomy is not willing to betray itself, it will just practice self-contemplation for the time being, it will watch out for perhaps like-minded people, it will keep away from common political dealings and intrigues to live an own conscious life.

Three main goals are fundamental:

Respect of human dignity,

assumption of self-responsibility and

wise management of fauna, flora and environment.

The base of such a human attitude is education which is lifelong learning, keen interest and carefully considered engagement for the enlightened picture of a post-interim-mankind.

Depending on personal circumstances one may create happiness-in-life although in most of the present social systems a cosmonomic lifestyle seems to be rather impossible. 

Very much suffering will occur in future.

German version

Consciousness Is Creating The World

Consciousness comes into existence by biological life, it can be proved in gradings with animals and it characterizes the human being very unambiguously depending on age and intelligence. Human life is consciousness.

Man is reflecting his being, is regarding himself – and this is the only point – in relation to his fellow citizens, to the nearer and farther surroundings, lifeless or animate.

Everything that man is undertaking for the sake of “positioning” himself into the common frame is describing culture in the widest sense, even the deliberate falling out of the frame.

Culture exists as historical ideas, as present wishes, as hopes for the future, in each case by concrete small and great works.

What then is it that is creating the world?

Consciousness only!

Imagine, at a single blow there wouldn’t be any single man on earth, hence not any consciousness.

What would be the “value” of the universe of dead material? – Not even Nil because the Nothing, too, exists in awareness only.

For instance, if you are walking along the deserted strands and wooden shacks of Rimini at the end of season, or if you come too early to the Cote d’Azur at spring time – with also boarded up facades, it will become clear: People are the creators of these worlds of flair, of life at all.

They procreate Gods and Devils.

And these apparently are there because consciousness is only billowing as there is  but far no guarantee of “knowing”.

It is grotesque and the fact remains: Consciousness is creating the world even without knowing  or with significant gaps in knowledge.

Or: Without human beings in their complexity there is no world.

But at what level is human consciousness ranking?

It is similar to the animal development, namely limited and unfinished.

Dogs, for example, can be pleased, can be depressed, loving, purposeful and loyal as well as neglected or dreadfully aggressive. Maybe they are accepting their “masters” as their “Gods” and do not suspect with which needy being they familiarise themselves.

The insanity of the world, as lamented again and again, is the work of man as a result of an indeed developable but still very insufficient consciousness.

In other words:

Consciousness is urgently demanding education – like the world. 
The world is shapeable for the benefit of mankind only in accordance to its natural laws and not by pretenses.

Pacifist Awakening

As a convinced pacifist I have been criticized several times, I could afford such a conviction only because others would pay the price for me in the case of emergency. Actually I was a slacker who could take the view of nonviolence only until he would become the victim of violence. A victim, because he wouldn’t be prepared in any way against a violent attack, he wouldn’t be able to defend himself, perhaps, in a tragic manner, wouldn’t be willing to.

Admittedly, the logic of such a rebuke is obvious within the conventional thought patterns but is not relevant for clear thinking.

History of peoples and nations so far, the history of mankind is an endless orgy of violence, of mutual humiliation and destruction. No social order and no state  have ever succeeded in stopping this circulus vitiosus that is escalating further by technical progress.

On the contrary, greed, ridiculous notions of honour, revengeful stupidities and unrestrained desire for power describe the motivations for all the cruel and contemptuous scenarios of extermination. The combat-ready contemporaries of all epochs are just canon fodder, not one bit more, their commanders serve as poor fools of the glorification of violence.

All combats are acting as losers as they kill the humane.

So, whatever can pacifists loose?

Nothing!

It is a question what they can win and how.

It is concerned with de facto peace and not with regularly mendacious letters of intent and breaches of contracts, not with euphoric conferences which don’t have fundamental conditions because structures of power characterize the negotiations and debates, and by no means the human individual.

“Power is arising from emancipation” is the demand of a cosmonomic thesis, just to break several taboos: nationalism, racism, religions of divine election, militarism and the mentality of exploitation. Military is taking the key function as a mean and, at the same time, pathetic executing authority of any policy. It is based on enforced blind obedience which is undermining all praises of civilisation and humanity, which remains, as a permanent scandal, to be glorified as virtuous.

Nevertheless, there is a clear beginning of softening the military anachronism, as a method of manslaughter, by increasing efficiency of material battles, because the real decisions of global meaning will progressively take place on the terrain of electronics and informatics.

But science and technology do not depend on military strategies as they develop as per the principle of causality – much more calculating and calculable than “hurray-patriotism” – even more impersonal and more destructive. The ordered killer is just pushing a stick, pressing a button and hardly perceives anything of the caused disaster, perhaps he will read later a selected press-report. Or he himself will get sick, because his own military had consciously sent him with toxic substances against the enemy.

Man is enabled to barbarity, if bogeymen and objects of hatred will block the psyche, they are proverbial “the root of the evil”. Once sown, the kraut grows rampantly and doesn’t tolerate pacifism beside, choking it easily, because pacifism on such a field is defenceless, is lost.

The only possibility for pacifism to come into reality is the prevention of constructing bogeymen and hatred. This may seem utopian in view of unbroken religious and ideological indoctrinations. They are forming a person who, because of his well-intended believing, is defending “faith, custom, homeland” against “wrong belief”, against bad habits which are strange customs, against pluralism which means different countries, cultures and homes.

Thus pacifism doesn’t claim any “multy-culty”, not any starry-eyed idealistic mixture of historic cultures that cannot peacefully coexist because of their fundamentalistic beliefs.

In the distance to daydreams, pacifism means awakening from old provincial convictions, it faces the need of a not yet reached new definition of a cosmopolitanism which does not deny its history (histories) but analyses it (them) for the benefit of a cosmonomic orientation.

Pacifism characterizes cosmonomic philosophy.

The human is not his enemy. His old-fashioned world views are outdated and irrelevant.

His peace is of this world, each reference to “kingdom-come” describes silly empty promises.

Thus pacifism is trying to gain ground by this clear commitment to the humane, not on the battlefield and not at all in the God’s acre, but, to take the metaphor further, in fields and farmlands, in parks and gardens, in cultural countryside.

Cultivating life and its space takes place as brainpower of undoubtedly higher value than martial capacities of destruction.

Nevertheless, the global situation suffers more frequently from destructive provincialism and is just showing to what extent only we are standing at the beginning of a humane evolution.

It is in the nature of developing processes that the still weaker and being fewer but higher differentiated organisms are threatened manifoldly and have to overcome teething problems.

Sincere and consequent pacifism is at such a stage by excluding war as a means of politics. The options therefor are lying in more honest and more intelligent politics, strengthening the efforts for human dignity and for less pretending diplomacy.

In democratic understanding pacifism is cross-party, notwithstanding that the majority of political parties not only agrees with war as always but is even creating it and stirring it up, being led by programmatic and naïve compulsiveness.

What we hastily call “enlightenment” is symbolizing some little plants, dominated by thistles, on a heap of debris of war and ruins.

We are still living in the pre-humane time of the “interim human”. 
But this insight is bearing already the character of awakening.

Europe's Pretended Democracy

Apart from the geografically determined terminology I call Europe into question.

What is Europe, does it really exist and if, which will the prospects be?

Or is Europe just billowing like an idealistic dream on the one hand and like an unwelcome despotic and exploitative Goddess of the cheating of liberty on the other hand?

European values?

Who bravely dares when and why to define a community of values?

After this European world-history?

The world is hurt by a crushing occidental adventurism that has been performed especially in the name of a religious mission which represents a mentality of conquest and subjection that is encouriging modern but outdated madmen to follow suit.

Culture is put in the shade, if one might speak of culture at all under those disgraceful aspects.

European powers mauled each other, destroyed other peoples and landscapes, made people slaves by an unscrupulousness that is, at present, escalating worldwide as method of ruling and hegemony.

European keys to success are converted naturally into any cultural traditions whereas they address the satisfaction of greed and the stabilisation of violence and  systems of command.

European superiority arose in particular from the so-called age of rationalism which meant remarkable relaxation of religious rigidity, caused by brave intelligences that brought science and technology also in the daily life. But just this material use of the spiritual relaxation enabled the European rulers to more and more destructive military campaigns. They abused systematically the progress which they never could establish by themselves as they were bound to their dogmatic mental limitations.

Being rather upset about the disastrous impacts of the two worldwars several enlightened people developed the idea of a unified and peaceful Europe, but did they have success in really convincing the politicians and the population? Is Europe on a way of growing humanization or do we only watch a new orientation of old power structures, a further deviding between technological progress and traditional spiritual pedantic growth?

First of all there has been an exceptional long and relatively peaceful coexistence of the European states after the last worldwar. Except some compareably local armed engagements there has been silence because of the primary threat by the splitting into East and West with absolute destructive potentials on both sides. After the dissolution of the Eastern block the European Union grew stronger not only by new members but, above all, as the leading economic power on the continent.

The fascinating European idea became impressive reality by the freedom of travelling and movement of persons and goods and by commonplace collaborations that take place meanwhile as routine operations. War between Eu members seems to be absolutely impossible, one might think who isn’t watching so directly.

Europe’s philosophy, however, is marked by an unbearable lethargy of thought which should be named as what it actually is: unprincipled expediency and inability.

Opinion-making in the media and their best networks is accepted as a matter of course, media working frankly against freedom of the press, generating bogeymen, creating desinformation and concealing essential processes and events.

The European Union is neither a confederation nor a state union of equal members but is following the dictatorship of the capital which is concentrated in a few member states. Without a common constitution the EU is implementing rediculous dicisions of the European Commission like the meanwhile revised standard of the curvature of cucumbers or the valid regulation on light bulbs. A giant parliament is serving as a pseudo-democratic administrative bureaucracy designing and approving laws in favour of banks and the lobbies of oil companies and arms producers.

Traditional exploitation of the Third or Second World is part of the secret but intended procedure camouflaged by inandequate development aid or poor commercial privileges. Weapons and war are profitable business and set the course even in company  of undemocratic ruling systems, integration of rotten religious world views and the keeping on “Christian Values” that have approved as murderous state doctrines since 2000 years support with an antiquated raison of the society which lags more and more desperately behind technological progress.

Democracy and transparency are stopped ideologically by a directed religion of climate-fear-production and by a particularly German so-called “Energiewende” an absurd turnaround in energy policy. Both startegies are targeting of fat-cat payouts of every single citizen – a senseless doing of business that doesn’t appreciate and protect nature but burdens it.

Concerning rigour and unscrupulousness in enforcing capitalistic profit and growth the USA is at first position worldwide. Second is the EU which delivers the explanation for her success that is regarded by people especially in poorer countries with fictious glorification.

Of course, life will be quite comfortable in the USA or in the EU, if one has an income to dispose of, and if the person is an opportinistic or naïve fellow traveller and dogooder. If a person isn’t  in harmony with the “standard”, the exclusion will vary according to the divergence of the critical thinking by covered conceiling up to public condemnation and denunciation or even criminal prosecution.

By no means the European Union is indicating an open-minded (cosmopolitan) society but caused the establishing of numerous smaller states just in younger history, she brings nationalistic and separatist small-mindednesses into the arena and creates home-made Europhobia. The reason is in fundamental diversities concerning economic and currency affairs as well as social and foreign policy.

Some member states belong to NATO, others stay officially neutral – a mixture that culminates in Germany – which let us not forget – as there has been no peace treaty since 1945, as there is no constitution approved by the people and as there is still the enemy state clause of the UN Charta.

The unjustified war against Iraque was fought by the USA essentially from military bases in Germany where the occupators also store American nuclear weapons. (Of course, the occupation will not be called that officially towards the USA because of Germany’s vassalage.)

The enevitable question arises as to wether there is a democratic legitimation of the EU: Can the existence of this alliance of states be justified by a dictation of the capital and by the arbitrariness of administration in Brussels?

As a grandiose idea of humanity Europe, at present, is suffering from an enormous treason – and there are nowhere brave opinion leaders and philosophers bringing this to an end.

Secret services, large companies, economic strategists and war ideologists are preventing the boldest approaches on human dignity and freedom.

Some parts of Europe are performing in complacent satisfation, growth oriented and saturated. At the same time it is ignored how Africa, Latin America, large parts of Asia and even own EU members are left behind.

Up to now Europe is not able literally to jump over her antiquated shadows and to take up really humane changes such as, for example, they are drafted up in the Cosmonomic Manifesto.

Instead of this a secret and so-called Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is negotiated with the USA. Undemocratic the methods and undemocratic the substance!

We know similar contemptuous proceedings at the Bilderberg Conferences. 
European parliament elections appear as farces against such backgrounds, as higher national dulling and camouflage of an actual decline in democracy.
