On this mid-summer s day I m realizing that I ve previously nition of conservatives as people who like things the way h to keep things just as they are to conserve things as ng conservatives pick and choose what they want to conserve don t want to conserve.

accepted the standard defi they are, at least enoug they are. Actually existi and reject what they

Liberals, socialists & progressives also choose what they want to change and con ceal those things they want to conserve (like their right to change things). Th e difference between these various political factions is not either/or to conser ve or to change but the particular items on their particular agendas for change and conversely for conservation. The original philosophers were the people who practiced philosophy after Pythago ras came up with the name ??????????to describe the particular people of his phi losophers community. They were definitely not socialists in any literal sense. Socrates and Plato make it very clear to us that their type of philosophers were best described as autonomous and independent seekers of self-knowledge and not people living in servitude or self-imposed tutelage and subject to dogmatic doct rines accepted on faith from human authority figures claiming to have knowledge su perior to theirs. The authentic philosopher, Parmenides wrote his poem outlining what makes philos ophers who and what they are and it was definitely not about accepting majority opinion (dogma) but about solitary searching for the truth about existence about being for answers to the Apollonian Delphic Oracle s question - who am I? Indepe ndently exploring possibilities of being is what philosophers do. Their autonom y makes them more like the Bakunin anarchists than like the authoritarian Marxis t socialists on the late 19th century. In his literary masterpiece Politeia (usually translated as Republic ) Plato using th e dramatic character of Socrates details what motivates authentic philosophers a nd how their devotion to their autonomous search for self-knowledge makes it nec essary for peoples to use collective compulsion to persuade them (philosophers) to abandon their lives as philosophers and instead to serve their people as ruler s a role for which they are the most eminently suited, being as they are speciali sts in acquiring knowledge of all kinds including knowledge of the social and po litical sciences in which rulers must be highly skilled if they are to lead the people well to become a society in which the good is achieved. It can be frustrating for people who ve reached the ultimate goal philosophers str ive for the supreme knowledge as Plato calls it. It can be frustrating trying t o explain why philosophers choose self-knowledge as a lifetime project and in so d oing must choose to avoid becoming involved in political actions or making money and the other more common pursuits that cognitively-larval-embryonic humans eng age in. It can be frustrating trying to explain to people who ve no experience of their own to confirm the reality of the mutation of being that authentic philos ophers know from their own experience of psycho-spiritual metamorphosis. Hold on a minute. What is going on here? All I really wanna do is to intend an d experience transformation from my defiled self to my enlightened self. Hay th ere wait a minute. Defiled ? That seems pejorative. Perhaps fragmented is less val ue laden. Today I wanna experience transformation. I wanna be transformed or t

o transform myself. From the one to the other. From the dismembered diminished state of being to the integral awakened state. It is frustrating trying to communicate this to people who have very little awar eness of any other alternative mode of being than the physical mode of being. I t is necessary to first experience knowledge of the physical mode of being as a mere fragment of a vast field of fragments that are all particular modes of bein g that together comprise the whole complete being I am a psycho-spiritual being who can exist as a physical being and also as a being composed of perceptions an d not only matter. Once we know our perceptual being then we know from experien ce that our physical being is also composed of perception and that matter is also made of perception. I am beginning to realize that there are few literati who can really compare to Alisa Rosenbaum ( the secret agent code named: Ayn Rand ) when it comes to systemat ic explication of the materialist conception of history in the cold-war era. Ac tually, agent Rosenbaum steers clear of mentioning the materialist conception of history but she does offer in writing her version of a materialist conception o f reality a category I take to include history so that the materialist conception of reality does include within it, the materialist conception of history since h istory is also a particular category of reality since reality like being is of t he most universal nature in reality. Agent Rosenbaum s propagandizing for the small micro-minority of persons who have participated in their project to use the government and military forces of the n ation of Americans (the people of the USA) during the post-1941 era (after the i nitiation of the continuation of the revolutionary war in 1941) is one of the fe w attempts to systematically offer a system of ideas built on the positivist mec hanistic materialist mentality that the vast majority of human beings belong to. That micro-minority the richest and best armed have not really needed to get too involved in writing or speaking not until after the nation of the USA finally b ecame the most powerful and influential among nations after 1941. The process o f succession from British to American pre-eminence among nations was already evi dent in 1918 after world war one. There are valid arguments for doubting that t he American nation was really pre-eminent among nations during the interwar peri od from 1918 to 1939. After 1945 however the pre-eminence of the American natio n is more unequivocal than the level of pre-eminence of the British nation in th e early and mid 19th century when the wealth of the early industrial revolution created unprecedented pre-eminence. In order for the new micro-minority to exert their power to influence the Americ an multitude after 1945, it became quite essential to shift the emphasis from th e use of raw force to a much greater reliance on manufacturing consent by recruitm ent of propagandists secondhand dealers in ideas to collect together and publish systems of ideas designed specifically to satisfy the new micro-minority that t hey are safely in control of the behaviour and mental experiences of the America n multitudes. This is not only one of the consequences of the character of Amer ican culture but also to an even greater extent a consequence of the new power d emonstrated by the revolutionary vanguard of physicists, scientists and philosop hers from JJ Thomson, Max Planck, Albery Einstein and Niels Bohr to J Robert Op penheimer, Leo Szilard, Max Born, Frederic Joliot-Curie, Linus Pauling, Joseph R otblat, Enrico Fermi, Walter Lippman and Bertrand Russell. The singularity of seven sixteen (July 16th, 1945) was unprecedented in human hi story. The harmless but portentous demonstration of the peerless power of the s upranational revolutionary vanguard of intellectuals and the intelligentsia was a event which elevated the supranational community of the revolutionary vanguard who built the first bomb to a position of pre-eminence among the various rival social classes competing for influence in 1945. Among the rivals for power and

influence were the Anglo-American heirs to the savage and brutal Axis fascists w ho set out to subjugate the world and were defeated by the united nations formed in 1941 to combine their forces to defeat the barbarian project of planetary en slavement. Agent Rosenbaum became a primary spokesperson for the Anglo-American heirs to th e defeated fascists goal of Prison Planet Earth under their rule by force of arm s. The supranational community of scientists engineers philosophers and intelle ctuals who combined to demonstrate the power of the energy contained in uranium atoms proved once and for all time their pre-eminent position among social class es and especially their power vis a vis their traditional self appointed nemesis social class the authoritarian plutocrat classes of whom the Nazis were only on e particular example of the same mental configuration of Bolsheviks, fascists, J acobins and the ancien regime especially the Bourbons, the Vatican and the Borgi as. The general mental attitude of these social class is the one FA Hayek calle d constructivistic people who suffer from the mental illness called hubris because t hey are deluded by pretentions of knowledge when in fact knowledge is not their primary instrument at all physical force is and it was this choice between physi cal force and communicative force that the constructivistic plutocratic classes had to make after seven sixteen woke them up enough to see that the social class who had always made knowledge their primary instrument for persuasion had concl usively demonstrated their superior power to the megalomanic plutocrat classes. The nineteen fifties spanned the first and second decades of the nuclear era whi ch has come to be known as cold-war . The cold war is now usually portrayed as a b attle between Communists and Anti-Communists for control of the whole planetary polity when in fact it was really a continuation of the conflict between the sam e two social groups who were opposed in 1774 in Worcester Massachussetts and the American Revolutionary war that followed and continues today. Agent Rosenbaum performed her duties on behalf of the same cognitively defined s ocial grouping of very wealthy investors who profited most from the opium business of the British East India Company the same corporation responsible for the tea tax imposed on American colonists who retaliated with their Boston Tea Party 1 o f December 16th 1773. Here we go again. I just wanna experience transform-ation from one mode of bein g to another. Not just any other mode of being. I wanna experience being trans formed from my ordinary mundane mode of being to my divine enlightened integral whole and complete mode of being. The enlightened mode of being is very much li ke a mutant the experience of transformation is therefore like mutation in the s ense that the word mutation is used to describe the evolutionary transformations that have the effect of a species being modified and because of the modificatio n becoming a new species. The concept of mutation and mutants is critical to th e evolutionary theory of descent with modification 2 with which Charles Darwin is famously assosciated. The radical nature of the transformation from my ordinary mundane diminished fragmental mode of being to my integrated whole complete div ine enlightened mode of being is so great that the differences between species a nd their mutants in the Darwinian theory of descent with modification seems quit e modest. I have often used the word magical to describe the transformation but only in the sense that the difference between the two categories of modes of being is so rad ical that they are nowhere near as related as are Darwinian species and their muta nts. The overwhelming consensus of actually existing humans on Planet Earth tod ay, is that human beings like I, are physical beings who also experience mental phenomena. To give some indication of the radicality of the transformation I experience in

my own spiritual awakening/rebirth experiences I think that a physical metaphor might be of help. The type of mutation I experience is more like a transformati on in a brief instant of time from a single cell organism to a human society of seven billion people. The mutations that taken place in Darwinian evolution are much more modest like for example the modification required for the common ance stors of all primates to become a chimpanzee, gorilla or an oranutan. There is much greater relatedness between the common ancestor and a chimp than between my finite mortal physical mode of being and my integral spiritual enlightened divi ne mode of being. A mathematical metaphor was how I first understood the transf ormation between the two categories of modes of being. That mathematical metaph or originates in the calculus of Leibniz and Newton. The relation between a dif ferential fragment and an integral whole is like a metaphor that gives some idea of the radical nature of the transformation from the differentiated mode of bei ng to the integral mode of being. There is much more to the experience of being whole and complete divine and nonmortal than can be communicated by the relationship between an infinitesimally s mall fragment and a vast cosmic integral whole. Any description, no matter how elaborate and detailed, can never approach completeness simply because what is b eing described is so vast that it is not only incomprehensibly mysterious but al so of a character that can only be described as like eternity and infinity. There was a time when I began to see eternity and infinity as words that really originate in human experiences of true being the supreme self-knowledge of authe ntic philosophers. Why are these words in use at all?

1 The History Place - American Revolution Prelude to Revolution 1763 to 1775 file:///E:/Noughties/2008DIR6/02Feb08/00LibrFeb08/rev-prel.htm 2 On the theory of descent with modification, the great law of the long enduring, but not immutable, succession of the same types within the same areas, is at onc e explained; for the inhabitants of each quarter of the world will obviously ten d to leave in that quarter, during the next succeeding period of time, closely a llied though in some degree modified descendants. If the inhabitants of one cont inent formerly differed greatly from those of another continent, so will their m odified descendants still differ in nearly the same manner and degree. But after very long intervals of time and after great geographical changes, permitting mu ch inter-migration, the feebler will yield to the more dominant forms, and there will be nothing immutable in the laws of past and present distribution.
