yes and maybe it's the time of the year
yes and maybe it's the time of man (Woodstock)
I was listening to Cathy Richardson's warmups on Jefferson Starship's Roswell CD and disc 4 is virtually a cornucopia of American folk. Guthrie, Mitchell and including a gorgeous rendition of 'Oh Darling'.
If that to some extent IS the America of myth, what exactly is lacking in the America of 2020 Biden (and possiblly 2024 Trump)?
It's almost too simple. Spirit. In the warmups there is a group coordination that is almost unthinking. Once a level of technical facility is achieved, it comes natural ('yeah, F#').
That's what is lacking in a world of pure technique and ego. The ego transmits itself by words, and words can very easily recite numbers.
It's an Einsteinian universe of logic (sun, electromagnetism) as opposed to a psychic universe that exists in cyclical time.
The symmetries of time and space harmonise the stars with the earth. The rotations of earth expose us to these symmetries.
This is the ancient way of perceiving things, and is echoed by such disparate voices as Vincent of UVS and Yukio Mishima (The Sea of Fertility on the moon).
Basically, if symmetry is a "thing" - a state of physical existence such as we have in the proportions of the human body - then it exists as a thing in itself.
That is to say, it's a priori as opposed to being capable of technical explanation. Only from the physical universe can psyche emanate - since psyche is also a "thing" (see Madame Blavatsky's Theosophy, prev.)
So what is lacking is 'thingness'. The ego is always attracted by numbers and equations, to such an extent that the material system.is now dominated by an Amazon shop.
What's the point of shopping if psyche is weakened in a degraded physical reality? The material world and the Einsteinian universe are two sides of one coin: the coin of the numerical-ego.
A physical universe is one of dirt and revival. The physical strength is agricultural and chthonic and comes from the symmetries of time and space (the rotating earth).
It's not rocket science. The fact the Earth rotates - as is contained in both Vincent's and Mishima's philosophies - is only detectable by science. But our perception is founded on that fact.
We live in a spinning universe and that's just an a priori fact. Science is continually asking deeper and deeper questions so that it becomes like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The answer to the ultimate question is 42 - but what is the question?
Scientific information is like the news in that it has no story and no negative - it's neutral and so comes across as positive. It gives a mouthpiece to numerous acolytes of reason (words, numbers).
The 'negative' is the entire chthonic universe of deities of the earth and agriculture (prev.) Modern Man is afraid of germs (prev) that are simply living things that process material.
Germs exist in living things and make us strong. There is a risk attached (prev), but the alternative is to live in fear and under the tyranny of numbers.
Musk is heading into space - again it's a case of numerical-ego. Well, I don't want to be 100% Luddite as there's always been space for technology, but it can't replace natural strength. That comes from the Earth and the symmetries of time and space. It's both negative and positive; it has a story.
In view of the present system, I was wondering if it could be possible to vote for an alternative future; to seize power by legitimate means.
The only way I can think of is by voting for someone who is coming from agrarian, folksy roots. There is no one who wants to lead apart from the aforementioned Kanye West!
Therefore I reiterate my support of West as a leader who is much more psychic and physical than the numerical-egos of the establishment.
To be alternative is to be first of all neither right nor left. After all, both these aspects can exist on planet Earth, as well as the agricultural deities like Dionysus. Diversity is good and it's a big place.
