The Universe and Society

Those who work for the ascent of the Organism learned from Communism what decisions we should not make. Those who work for the Organist rebirth shall be completely immersed in the cause to avoid the dissemination of lies. Aiming to avoid an epidemy of corruption over the government the rebirth must begin from the inside out, individually. The organists shall, before trying to change others, learn how to change her/himself, and, with that, keeping distance of what keep us away from our true potential and lead us to a way to emotional elitism, that restricts love and distributes hate. 

 The organist pioneers shall know how to love every single human, for doing so leads to prevention of social demolishing that would come if the individual cells of the organism started to hate each other. The organist shall produce all he consumes* for her/him to become independent and having a complete life. After all, food is one of the Essential services, thus, restrictly having to be free of any charges, do not accept to pay for being allowed to live. The organist shall avoid buying what he can do himself. It is recoomended the common practice of woodwork in organist societies to disseminate the autonomy and cultural and techonolgical diversity.

 Many criticize, idly, societies that are based on work without monetary wage, claiming that without money there would be no motivation to work. This argument is ill-founded, wage isn’t an outcome of labour, it is only a toast to reward the worker for his obedience, just like you feed your dog a cracker once he obeys you. In the organist society work would be done in order to obtain the direct product of said work, if one is working to produce a hammer, his “wage” would be this hammer, for he is working because he needs the hammer. Another factor that would prevent the birth of idleness (theorically produced by the absence of motivation to work) would be another psychological strategy based on morality; idleness would be condemned by society through personal criticizing the one that refuses to work, but without hurting his self-steem, instead, offering him something to do in order to help the people; he would be criticized because his (absence of) action would be detrimental towards society (that, without work, would perish), thus, afecting his own life; those who refuses to work would be seen as an obstruction towards the well-being of the population, they would be influenced by society to act as well. Labour would be something extremelly common in basically all phases of the human life, and if everyone does what they can, whenever they can, there would be no overload of work to anyone, because there would be no one absent of working, this way, all work would be well distributed through all population. Also, individually, through the organist ideology, living inactivly in your society would be unconfortable in the organist citizen’s heart.

 I believe we face a crisis in our options in resisting the strong and unfair society we live in. Many of those who claim to be “libertarians” are based on communist ideals. Communism is a way to destroy the industrial capitalism, but we live in a more advanced kind of capitalism, the informational capitalism, that being said, the communist “weapons” have little power in his work to destroy this kind of society. So, the young left generation is (in its majority) based on a ideology that do not apply to our society anymore, many of those libertarians have lost their faces. Sadly, facing such ideological crisis I do not see many new ideals rising. Of course we still have anarchism, besides this one having lost many of it’s original ideals, followed by many diversions that detaches from the origin of anarchism. What do we have left? 

 These two ideologies (mutualism and love) are indispensable; for the action of all is an action for all, this way, for example, all the food that is collected or produced is collected/produced in order to feed the whole society, for feeding is one of the basic needs for the survival of the human body, that being said, this may never be commercialized, for doing so means charging a fee for your stay on this planet.

 In the current society, however, we do not just commercialize food, but all the gastronomic service behind it (that justifies the price on the food in a money-based society), but that subject will be explored later. Essential services for the permanence of life in the human physical body, as mediocre as said life may be, never, under any circumstances, should be monetarized or commercialized in any way, after all, being the human the main piece of society, his life has to be priority. That makes free, acessible and qualified services (along with feeding) such as distribution of potable water, that have to be always clean, for poluting water that, one day, we may drink, is working towards human extinction. Water, essential for the existence of the human physical body has to be distributed according to need, trying to make scarcity impossible and always avoiding excess, for no excess is healthy. The access to health (translated in prevention and cure of diseases, epidemies or any physical or psycological flaw whatever it may be) obviously in the organist patterns will also be free, acessible and qualified, for it is one of the Essential Services, health being what keeps the human body functional in his needed capacity, what is essential for living (instead only surviving), and working for the proper functioning of society. P.S.: I'll get in more details on the distribution of those Essential Services when I talk about the infrastructure of the organist cities.

 The body of the human individual, even though it seems to be something singular, it only is for it is composed by many other unities that work for themselves, unconsciously acting for the proper functioning of the human body. In the idea of mutualism in the many parts of the animal organism, the malfunction of one organ may lead to the ruin of the whole greater being: the organism. Equally, as an organism is composed of naive individualist organs, those organs are composed by naive individualist tissues, and those, by naive individualist cells. Following this line of formation and systems, an aglomeration of human beings create society, and this, without the human “individualist union”, falls apart. The organist society emphasizes the human mutualism and the fact that this must be obligatory.

 In Brazil we are going through a deep and serious crisis, and I know we are not the only ones. The whole world is falling into crisis once again, 1929, 2008, and here we are, what are we going to do to “solve” it this time? Ressurect Keynes? We, the people, see the crisis as a problem that must be solved, but we usually can’t notice that this isn’t a particular problem, it is a state that come and go, and we still accept to live with it. You say you hate the crisis, but love capitalism, how does that make any sense? The system you love so much is faded to fall into crisis again and again, how can you hate the crisis and love the system that creates it? Capitalism is the epitome of successful failure, it is a broken window that made people believe that this is how a window should look like. How can we be so foolish?

 In order to solve economic problems, many rulers found it wise to feed a dictatorship, and guess what? It worked. Before Hitler, german children used deutschmarks to produce kites; one piece of bread was worth a million marks, so Hitler enslaved his population (german homossexuals, jews, black people and other minorities) in order to force them into hard work to make Germany great again (does it sound familiar?), and it worked! One of the worst economies at the time was miraculously solved. Something similar happened here in Brazil, during our Ditadura Militar (Military Dictatorship), one of the worst (probably the worst) times for those who like to be “free” (in the capitalist logic of freedom); though it was horrible for the society, it was beautiful for the economy.

Answering again my friend (if I can call you so) @imcryinghere, who asked: 

“So we’re bound to never understand natures true meaning. A follow-up question: what do we do with that information? How should we change our behaviour? Or should we change it at all?”

 As I stated before, I have a year long experience with ayahuasca in religious settlements, but recently I felt the need of using ayahuasca by myself, and so I did (even though, I do not recommend it). This week I brewed MHRB (Mimosa tenuiflora) with Banisteriopsis caapi, forming an “anahuasca” known in Brazil as “Jurema’s wine”, and so I drank it (a total of 200ml) and it worked very well. I’m not going to detail too much the whole experience, but I would like to focus on one portion of the trance.

 I was on the floor with my black cat, Bastet, and the surroundings were really dark, so I dove head-on on a journey about death, secrets and misteries. And in that trance I felt I was going to die later in that day (but as you see, I’m still alive). I wasn’t really scared, I was amazed, but still, I didn’t want to die, I got a little bit mad, but I questioned myself about being mad, why am I mad with my approaching death? What do I do with my life that is so much worth living, so good that I refuse to die on that day? I felt like I didn’t want to die, but didn’t understood why, what am I doing here? Why am I alive? I didn’t receive the answer, so I decided to keep hanging on my life untill I discovered it.

 I started to guess why do we fear death, and I found two possible answers: 

1 - The Fear of the Unknown: Quoting H.P. Lovecraft: “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown”. Humans are (presumably) the only species on earth that is conscient about his own incoming death, being the only species or not, the fact is: We do. And so we’ve been since the begining of times trying to discover what happens when we die, and since we don’t have any actual proof of where we go when we die, this is probably the greatest mistery of mankind, we fear death because we don’t know what is going to happen, eternal void? Hell fire? Another life? So many options most of us don’t want to experience it to discover, fearing the worst.

 Let’s turn a little bit into the beauty of psychology dipped in entheogenic substances. As I dated a girl that loved psychology, and I myself had some taste for it, I learned some things and had the chance of experiencing it during entheogenic trips and meditation. In this post I will focus on the concept of Ego while trying to explain some things I learned during ayahuasca trips and how it changed me, as requested. Well, I am not a psycology professional, but as I learned, Ego works like a guardian that forbids your ID (your conscious self) from reaching your subconscious (the side of your consciousness you usually don’t explore), why? Because in your subconscious you hide the deepest fears and shames that, if exposed, can (and will) hurt your pride and can damage your social, emotional and mental life.

Answering @imcryinghere: “[...]  I would love to know what exactly you learned about yourself while taking this? How is it life-changing? Please be specific.”

 Well, as I mentioned in the original post, it is impossible to explain what happen during ayahuasca, and I mean it. Why? I tried to describe it in this post. “Speaked” language is really weak. Many people believe that we think through words, but we don’t, we speak through energy, feelings, chemical connections, whatever you may call, but not words, that’s how we sometimes forget words, but don’t forget the thing we are trying to describe. What did I learned exactly? I’ve been doing ayahuasca for a good long time now and I’ve learned a lot, not only during the trance, but after ir as well, but I can’t describe what I learned exactly (because of the chains of language), the teachings works through metaphors and pure energy, I learned a lot about the concept of “Everything”, and I once saw that Everything is a small portion of a thread of a concept art of the whole Everything.

 As I stated many and many times before, money is the main fuel of the human life in our society (while in reality, it isn’t, but we are forced to accept it), but I already chattered a lot about that. Let’s pretend it is a good idea to manage human lives through some green paper notes, thinking this way, it is a logical thing that we should have a minimum wage, right? Of course, at least we should have the least to buy food, basic needs and trains our sons and daughters to the world we are unable to leave.

 We have a minimum wage because we accept our insignificance over money in such a apollonian way Nietzsche would beat us with a whip, if we know that money is used to give us the basic of life, we clearly know that (at least that’s very clear to the poor) money means nothing more than survival in this cruelty we live. So what does some people do with 4.5 billion dollars? Is their lives so expensive? How many sons and daughters they have to raise? Do they eat that much? 

We (myself and a friend from school) are gathering personal stories about sexual harassment (be it a strange look in the street, cat-calling or even rape), and I would like to ask you women followers to contribute with your own personal stories.

Of course it will be anonymous, even if you say who you are, we won’t give any names to the stories. Our main goal in this presentation is to show everyone that sexual harassment is common in our society, and that’s ridiculous! We are showing that the majority of the women we know have been through sexual harassment in their lives, be it you sister, your friend, your girlfriend or even your mother. And we are also doing this work to show the victims of those crimes that they shouldn’t be ashamed of telling their stories, because it is a crime and it has to be exposed, sexual abusers benefit from the fact that the majority of the girls don’t talk about their abuse to abuse them safely! 

 So, if you are a student in Brazil, (or if you want a job) you will have to take the ENEM test at least once in your life. What is ENEM? It is the Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (something like National High School Test), it is a long test with a composition that score points that you use to join a university. Well, what do I have to say about it? This year’s composition was about the persistence in the violence against women, all together with lots os questions about Simone du Beauvoir, so what? So what that many misogynists were forced to write the most important composition in their lives about protecting something they hate: Women’s rights.

 Of course many people raged about it, they said ENEM is “doctrinizing” woman, and criticized Simone du Beauvoir herself. Well, this was a great shock to our society because at least once brazilian people were forced to face equal rights, and were forced to support it. But sadly, we still have people that, for some reason, raged against it, like two politicians: Bolsonaro (who I always talk about for his persistence in doing shit, and also the one that told a woman that he wouldn’t rape her because she didn’t deserve it) and Marco Feliciano (an evangelic pastor that somehow became the president of Human Rights and Minorities, NO JOKE), how in the world can someone who abolish gay marriage and criticize women’s right be the president of Human Rights and Minorities??

Real comments taken from the page Direita Carioca on facebook, those people are commenting about a video taken from a party going on inside a prision cell. Translation:

“It would be a shame if a fire on purpouse, then there would be no one left alive, even a bomb or poisoning, it never hurts to dream”

“I would shoot them all”

“A truck full of fuel and a match box.”

“Oh, a bomb. Boom. It’s solved”

“Throw a grenade”

“A vision from hell”

“Imagine a curto circuito (explosion)”

“Forgetting a bomb there...”

Here I come again to talk about the extreme right-wing on Brazil. And I come without a smile on my face, for it isn’t a difficult thing to see these kind of atrocities around here. I am not protecting the left-wing or anything, but I think it is something anormal and special that brazilian right-wing activists are moved by hate and this fascist feeling of killing others, mostly influenced by a fascist called Jair Bolsonaro.

Well, I didn’t came here to speak about what is “right” and what isn’t, for I believe you, reader, can do it for yourself. I’ve addressed a similar theme a while ago, but in this post I would like to analyse how would be the world if all those “wishes” we see in those comments came to be true. In Brazil it is common to see the rich hating the poor. Well, in order to make this post easier to understand, let’s see “the poor” and “the rich” as a whole class, a unity. What does the poor do in our society?

Well, if all the poor were dead, everyone would be rich? Right? There would be no crime and no violence, right? Of course not. Our society is based on work, there is employment behind every section of society, and if the poor (as a unity) were all dead, what would change? Our society have a special place for the poor: the dangerous almost slave-ish works, for I don’t see the rich stacking blocks of clay with cement to build a house, I don’t see the rich cleaning and sweeping the floor of my school, I don’t see the rich working as an attendent on McDonalds.

 As I said in this post, I will explain my experience with ayahuasca. Well, ayahuasca (or santo daime) is a beverage produced by amazonic/andean natives with the liana Jagube, the leaf of a bush called Chacrona, water and fire. This beverage is a cup full of DMT (dimetiltriptamine, I believe), a strongly hallucinogenic (actually, entheogenic) substance that we produce through our pineal gland naturally, in very small proportions, that is responsible for dreams, trances, etc.

 I met ayahuasca last year, 2014, in a place called Porta do Sol that manages rituals (called trabalhos, works) with ayahuasca, accompanied by musics that guides the trance (also explained by the post linked in the first line), sang by ourselves during the work, and well, it is really something that changes your life, wherever you believe in it or not, wherever you are religious or not. It is something so impossible to explain that when I say it is too impossible to explain, I am already corrupting the original idea behind it all.

( http://www.robinskey.com/ayahuasca-and-don-pablo-amaringos-paintings/ )

 It is something out of this world, in my first ritual, it was a hard work, it was “horrible” for me, I suffered, but after that I saw it was really wonderful, as I learned a lot with myself. The next rituals I just blacked out and had lots and lots of endless visions that look like those paintings of ayahuasca you find on the internet, and after a while, I was able to control my trances and work as I decide to.

 I learned what really is a religion. In my framing, religion is used by humanity since it’s birth to connect our physical understanding of the world with some kind of metaphysical understanding of the world. And humans have been using this human tool since forever, translated into trances, incorporations, hallucinations, what I call religious experience.

 It is really a religion something that induces a religious experience, be it through meditation, intake of external substances, random trances, incorporations or praying-induced trances. These experiences are what connect us with our gods, our creator, nature, etc. But for some reason, there are some “religions” that have no connection with higher consciencess, or even neglect these activities. “Religions” that have no conscience expansion/alteration are not religions, these are philosophies at best. Because religions are made to connect our world (physical) with other worlds (metaphysical), and if your religion mantain itself only in the physical world, it isn’t a religion.
