FIRST FIRST THINGS

FIRST FIRST THINGS (time and tokens)

FIRST (communicating text) (1965-2005)


1. The Collapse as fact. (11.16.2005)
Symptoms. Declining poll numbers. False leads: “just another second presidential term episode. Saw it in Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, not this Bush.”

This particular case: “Scootergate” (“part of a wider culture of lying” F. Rich.), The ramifications.

Rising tide of hate: its quality as well as quantity (”human trash” Bush was called by Brazil soccer star)

(Q. Should feelings of hate be curbed? When and when not?
See my “I Defense of Hate”)


Into what? The times call for morphing through consciousdness.

Tinfoil propositions, prionized DNA

2. EXPOSING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL DRIVING FORCES: to be born; to get laid.

3. DETAILING WHAT INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS OF THE HUMAN SPECIES ARE




AKASHIC TOKENS

Tokens of America’s Akashic Record, ’65 – ‘05

The psychodynamic forces driving the historical group process are exposed in certain hyper-cathectic “Nodes*” – cohering units of communication located astride a processing loop from “input” (to cortical brain region) to “output”(recognizing a thought, or responding to a question, for instance), along a causally differentiated, repetitious route. This hypothetical construct of “sign-use loops” extends the assumption of “same causes, same effects”, basic to all science, into, and through, the anatomical “black box”. Since the “input” of the system/apparatus is objectively quantifiable (neuron stimuli, peripheral and internal), and the “output” (measurable actions) as well; the “book-ended” processed having been assumed to transit from the lowest levels of ‘instinctual’, organ arousal (dreams, as first conscious content), to co-ordination of conscious content in the highest, furth’rest, most complete cosmic reality -- whatever we can use signs to communicate about – it follows that the perennially contended “mind-body” has been solved, en passant. It took the discovery of consciousness to resolve it.



Pertinent examples (of Akashic S*)

Ronald Reagan declaring: “Back to the Future!” Followed by popular move about two dudes’ excellent time travel adventure. Large-scale evocation of everything WWII, especially the feelings of sons toward their fathers (Tom Brokaw). As text: these words from the president are a time-spinner, looping memory into the preconscious. As token, it prompts “a trip down memory lane”, i.e., through the unconscious. “Why, I can remember when….” Signals were sent out during the Reagan era that personal memory would be stripped from all tokens of group communication, even while each person remains obliged to go through the ritual of using them (“vote”, “democracy”, etc.) collectively. (This is a manifestation of the Great Splitting.)

“Back to the future” activates readiness to remember; the subsequent textual remarks will be ‘bound’ to likenesses and opposites while the affect-effect is in place. Whatever attractive-repellant impulses are housed by association alongside the recollections, will merge in a group through identity of content of individual’s consciousness. “Back to the future” goes directly to the highest loop linking signs to the generic being category, “the formal condition of all succession” (Kant), namely time. As a sign-use, this cuts across all differences between people, both on the internal as well as external side. All who allow themselves to come under the rhetorical sway of “past, future” place themselves under control of these common inner forces. Their details will trace to childhood histories.

The invocation of time, by words, according to grammatical rules, completes the processing loops that, externally, traverse the universe. It goes directly to the common processes of those communicating. It is now known, since recent times, that cell division and DNA replication proceeds simultaneously with consciousness of connections of word-meaning content. The same anatomical unit that processes feelings and impulses processes peripheral sensations into perceptions of objects, and these into weltanshauung, with feedbacks (“How’m I doin’?”). All that is brought together into a unity through consciousness proceedes into it, through it, and, in a meager few cases, by means of it (in mind-altering ‘realizations’) belongs to an order, and level of unity not given by nature “from below”. “From above” it is constructed; from The One.



Let “consciousness” be used herein for the common feature of awareness a person has of themselves using sign (words, pictures, acts) to communicate. It can be said, then that what is set in motion in the human organism as a machine by the words “Back to the Future!” by the famous Hollywood president, obviously acting out the idea of restoring a strong Father figure, in contrast with Jimmy Carter’s perceived effeteness. The Republicans, who know what to do, taking over control of America from Democrats. G.W. Bush’s take-over from Clinton, by action of Justice Scalia who thought the recount vote in Florida in ’00 was damaging the nation, repeated the same theme. The Men are back in town. Lordly they were. And men (nevermind Guckert). They came to execute what Reagan prophesied.

Well, his second term wound up in the Iran-Contra hearings. He was allowed to pass, never having contributing anything but nod and wink to the process anyway. But the seeds of deception, illegality, death squads, and manipulation of world terrorist events abroad, if indeed, the Iranian hostage situation was part of some black-ops plan, as some charge, were welded into the name-plate of American history by the name. Iran-Contra. This was double-double reverse negative sign-use formation already taking shape, far in advance of it’s being visible as such. “Back to the Future” goes with “One man’s Freedom Fighter is another man’s Terrorist.” Goes with G.W. Bush saying “We do not torture.”


In Thoth’s dictum, this is the end product of The One having been captured by the dark side of the Two, and LED BY THE NOSE down into the halls of Amenti.


THE METAPHYSICAL CRISIS

Americans, as a group, stand on the brink of “false 4th ing” the cosmos.

This means subsuming references to it, as a totality, from a wrongly completed position of consciousness. Wrongly completed, in that it cannot relate to reality directly, through the consonant completing tesseract, but only through a projected morphic field, which it has copied in its star/sky/God lore, then re-internalized – what was learned from the documents overlaying what was projected and re-inforced throughout many millennia. This is the psychological construct that would reach out to match “Intelligent Design” with “God”, if the phrase became official descriptive use.


EMERGENCE OF THE CONTENTION

If children are given by their teachers, classmates, churches, god-fearing parents to understand that what they experience for the first time, themselves, as the unity of the planetary and cosmic vastness – the reality of all that – is readily trundled under one term, synonymous with the universal Logos, which learned Being-experts bandy about in conversationg, citing each other’s contentions … that is a Form, or template in the history of childraising that is not logically necessary, therefore cannot be declared the final word. That is would be the 4th step in the progression from: 1. projection (through the token), 2. introjection and elaboration), 3. re-projection (through text), then 4. “belief in” the re-projected text to bond totality-cathexis (intellect with commitment) to reality. This is the formula for life condemned to live under an illusion, deprived of the means of correcting the malformation, and of knowing what life would be like “on other side of the mirror.”

On the other hand, the teaching of The One as The Monad in All, of All, with the objective unity of consciousness as an instance, cannot be stripped from the assumptions of group discourse, either. There is a “we” of the “I’s” that pledge allegiance to the flag of our country. It is a bond of unity through the token whose meaning, or text, is spelled out by the U.S. Constitution. If all references to a bond of unity were knocked out of discourse, no inner bond toward any one thing defining all being tokened.

This sets up a resistance to the project of eliminating all references to “God”. Perhaps the public token is necessary to command and focus consciousness on what is always and ever beyond The Two.

This is the metaphysics of The Contention. Both sides may be necessary, but both are not equal. One is closer to the good than other, which leads downward.
