ESSAY I. INCLUSION-EXCLUSION-BALANCING OF TRIBES IN SUPERTRIBAL NETWORKS The
current revival of tribal socialization modes is often critizised for
itīs ethnocentricity. "Tribal" has even become a pseudonym for any
kind of selforientated, intolerant incrowd. Often itīs believed, that this
exclusive behaviour would be generally typical for the tribal stage of human
evolution (like in Integralism) and can be observed in the majority of
nowadays still existing tribal cultures. But that hypothesis is
directly
contradicted by the archeology of tribal societies. Already since the
late paleolithic hunter-gatherer-tribes of Europe formed obviously
supertribal federations, that met regularly at common meeting points
like the site of Dolni Vestonice, where mammooth hunters of the whole
region met to hunt, to trade, to procreate, to perform common religious
rituals &
assumably to discuss political decisions. This tradition reaches down
all
the paleolithic history of occident & orient via Göbekli Tepe
to
the neolithic Stonehenge. Even some of the early civilizations like the
Indus-valley-culture seem to have selforganized as supertribal
networks. And still the ancient Greeks with their tribal oligarchies
formed a network of city states, that was working as a supertribal
alliance. That means, that more sophisticated supertribal cultures
already overcame ethnocentricity long ago. The high ethnocentricity of
the nowadays last indigenous people often seem to be more connected to
the extreme environments of their hostile retreats (like deep jungle)
in combination with a high density of tribal population in severe
competition for territory (like
in New-Guinea). But even those ethnocentric tribes have an elaborated
culture of appeasement rituals to meet their neibourghs for trade,
political alliances, gen-exchange and so on. The Konrad Lorenz student
Irenäus
Eibl-Eibesfeld wrote excellent behaviouristic books about this topic.
So we could assume, that overcoming ethnocentricity is since long a
cultural challenge for tribal life styles of all kind. An
interesting question now would be: How did and do tribes solve this
challenge? Can we oberserve some cultural metaprogramming techniques,
that we could use for our nowadays challenges to overcome tribal
ethnocentricity towards tribal cosmopolitanity? Surely there are a lot
of techniques of creating trust between strangers. Maybe to much to
list them all here, but enough to write an own essay about it.
Impatient ones may find satisfaction in the lecture of Eibl-Eibesfeld.
But for
now itīs more important to understand the underlying deep motivations
of tribes to behave exclusively or inclusively. One can see here the
much older biological and physical principle of contraction and
expansion at work on the socio-cultural level. The exclusive
ethnocentric tribe state is a circle with faces inward and backs to the
world. This state is required to sustain a protected high quality
social life with ones most beloved. Also to protect and provide the
upgrowing children with a nourishing and secure social space. And for
political decisions the tribe is building an exclusive basic democratic discussion
circle. The
inclusive cosmopolitan tribe state is a circle with
faces outward and backs inward. The tribal members are backing each
other to face the world and to include it into their tribal life. This
state makes sense to connect the tribe
with the bigger society - for trade, democratic politics, new
friendships and social interactions of all kind. A healthy tribe
changes itīs behaviour patterns dependent on itīs current necessities
and behaves sometimes more exclusively, sometimes more inclusively.
And tribe members or subgroups can behave contrarily to the maintribe,
when that makes sense. For example some community members can create a
social security zone for the children, while others are out to work in
society. Nowadays neotribal communities seem to tend much more to the
ethnocentric stage, because this is important for their initial
internal selforganization process. They are still not real tribes with
millenia of tribal culture in their backs, but a bunch of family
educated, school indoctrinated and system alienated people, who like to
gather in a tribe-like social structure. Neotribes, which went
successfully through their initiation periode and became socially
stabile and selfconfident, normally donīt need a mainly ethnocentristic
orientation any more, but can afford to open themselves much more
to the world. So if one observes a consciously growing neotribe over
years, one can see it concentrating first on the internal
organization of a tribal space and group commucation and then
presenting itself to the world by externally orientated projects. Typical
is the friends circle of artist who leave the city to build a
permaculture farm on the country side - and when itīs running, they
begin to invite guests for vernissages, concerts and other creative
happenings. So a selfconsciously ripening neotribe should be aware of
the principle of inclusivity and exclusivity and how to bring this
contrary states into a coherently free flowing balance of the inside
and the outside world of tribal community life. In an integral
worldview this would mean to integrate tribal ethnocentricity through
the cultivation of tribal cosmopolitanity synergistically into the
higher organisation level of the bigger global society. ESSAY II. SELFEMPOWERMENT THROUGH ANAL POSTMATURATION INITIATION TO OVERCOME EDUCATIONAL ORAL FIXATION Tribal children leave their mothers as ablactants to join the agemixed tribal children group. They dontīt have parents or get educated by adults, but learn to socialize selforganized with other children, informed by their curiousity and playfullness and inspired by their social instincts and the social culture of the tribe around. This transition from a dependend sibling to an independend child is known in psychology as transition from the oral to the anal stage. The anal stage is called as such, because it reffers to a very old biological pattern of mammal behaviour, who mark their territory by excrementing openly on it. The beginning of the human anal stage therefore is often quite obviously connected with a periode, where the child gets faszinated by itīs own excrements. Basically the childīs own free will is awakening in this stage and it claimes itīs own territory and social sovereignty. In a sane tribal culture this fully awakening free will is the base of the following completely voluntary and instinctively joyfull socialization of the child. But in family based societies the child in this age is submissed under the beginning education by parents or other adult educators. Many children rebel openly against their suppression - thatīs why this transition stage in family societies is known as "defiance stage". But sooner or later the children normally learn, that their rebellion has no chance against the organized will of the adultsī world, so that they "willingly" submiss under their education - which means, that they give up great parts of their own free will, to obey the will of the authorities and the artificial laws of their culture. Letīs make it even more clear, what happens here: The childīs ownwilling nature (IT) is psychologically raped and submissed systematically by itīs own culture (SUPER-EGO), enslaved by itīs own people. And the child has not only to learn to accept this and live with it, but to love itīs rapers (parents/educators). This deeply traumatized "anal disturbance" is the source of nearly all sado-masocistic disorders, which are the sublimated and projected hate against the beloved parental rapers as well as self-hatred for being submissive. As a result of the supression of the childīs own free will it normally has no chance to unfold instinctively itīs full emotional and social maturity, but stays more or less inmature, partly fixed in the siblings oral stage. Exactly that is wanted, because family societies are the products of empires, who rule by dividing the people and keep them as dependend subjects. The nowadays socalled "democracies" are all heirs of former empires, that still maintain the family as the social cradle of subjects. Because of this fact so many civilized adults still today behave like little children, even like dependend siblings, because they were never allowed to fully mature to real adults. One can recognize their anal disturbance by analysing their favourite jokes: A lot of anal jokes around shit, poo, farts and so on, especially amongst men, is a secure sign for a high grade of social and emotional inmaturity of the individuum or group, who makes such jokes. The oral fixation is recognizable through social cults around mainly oral behaviour patterns, like socializing aroung drinking alkohol, smoking tabacco or pot, or even to discuss all day long (thatīs the typical oral fixation of intellectuals). To get out of the individual "subject state" and to overcome emotional and social inmaturity, itīs possible for adults to understand, overcome and heal their oral fixation and anal disturbance in a postmaturation process, that can be consciously and willingly initiated. Best a mature group of healers invites the initiate to a postmaturation initiation ritual, where the initiate is recommended to shit (literally or symbolically) on everything, thatīs not based on his or her free will - and to swear to him/herself to start a postmaturation process with the purpose of sorting out step by step, which learned behaviour patterns are own willed and which artificially enforced. At the end just ownwilling old patterns should be allowed to continue and new ownwilling patterns to thrive. After the initiation the postmaturation process itself needs normally at least some monthīs and should be performed in a mature social group situation, where the initiate can learn as adult, what he/she should have learned already as a child in a selforganized children group: How to socialize not by societies artificial moralty and group pressure, but by free will based longing for instinctive social empathy. The postmaturation initiations can be an essential tool to overcome many of the problems, that so many postmodern neotribes currently are facing with the emotional and social inmaturity of their members. So many alternative projects are failing after some while, because their members can not handle complicated social situations and dynamics in a mature way. Unnecessary conflicts, unreflected projections and the kindergarten wars of traumatized childish egos, playing sado-masochistic games with each other, are often much more dangerous for the success of a community project then external hindrances. Who is interested now in deepening this topic, may feel heartly welcome to contact me for exchange of ideas and inspirations. Also I offer 1.) postmaturation initiations for interested initiates and 2.) Initiations for initiators, who want to learn, how to perform postmaturation initiations ... ESSAY III. UNDERSTANDING AND OVERCOMING THE DOMESTICATION TRAP Humans
trapped themselves long ago in a cultural system of selfdomestication,
that serves them very badly and in the long run threatens mankind
with selfextinction. Itīs important to understand for everybody, who
wants to try to found a new kind of community or society, that all
nowadays civilized cultures are no friends of humanity, but
designed to raise and keep humans as lifestock of their own society and
their elites. The main enemy of this kind of culture is our free human
nature, that tends to selforganize, selfsocialize and selfcultivate in
voluntary groups. So civilizations spend a vast amount of cultural
energy to keep our true potential down. In school for example we learn
mainly things, that weīre gonna forget soon, but this kind of learning
trains us, to obey rules and conditions, that are obviously
senseless, but given by authority and therefore have to be accepted at
all cost. Our culture is full of this kind of bullshit, that we learned
to accept. We ourselves are so full of voices in our heads, that keep
us in inner conflict and fear of social sanctions, that the most of us
donīt even see any more, that we have long ago interiolized a complete
set of techniques to keep us down by ourselves. Once educated, most
people donīt need an external master any more, to play their own tyrant
and exploiter on behalf of their society. Such societies can even call
themselves democracies, what means realistically to give the slaves
just some more free range, to motivate them for more voluntary
selfexploitation. When people, who are raised in this way, try to
develop a new culture, they normally will start from what they know.
And one can bet, that the result will be as senseless as every
domesticative culture before. Just the typical enslavement of people by
their own believe system. Thatīs why itīs never working to replace one
ideology with another one. If you cut the old authorities head, a new
authority will pop up. The only real alternative is to clearly observe
and reject domestication in all itīs forms. Thatīs human slavery -
nothing less - and worth to overcome it consciously. That means
basically to reconnect to our more or less forlorn inner nature, to
revive our sane instincts, to follow our intuition and to ground our
lives and sociallity on the millions of years of collected and
concentrated evolutionary wisdom of our biology and brain structure.
Our nature, like all nature, is much wiser than our childish
civilization and itīs inmature culture. The best way to naturalize us
is to start a conscious group healing over a longer course of time in a
natural environment, for example on a selforganized organical farm,
where people can learn to feed each other nutritionally and socially
with the most natural stomach- and soul-food available. If the
community members inner nature is healing increasingly during this
process, the community can beginn to cultivate itself on itīs
newfound instinctive base. Artificial morality can be replaced by
natural empathy. Cultural power hierarchies on the base of
authoritarian dominance can be replaced by competence hierarchies based
on free willing orientation towards mastership, wisdom and social
competence. Ideological exclusive head politics can be replaced by
inclusive heart politics from and for the people. A culture, that is based on a sane inner nature, will thrive from itself and serve human interests. Thatīs
our atractor, we first beginn to work hard to reach for against our old
cultural traits, but increasingly becoming pulled by instinctive
feelings of personal and collective fullfillment, that appears out of
the new highly energetical coherence between our inner nature and
outer culture. If this process works successfully, at the end there
will be a group of naturally free, dedomesticated people, who create
their own culture. No more sheeples, but real humans, with
whome you can start a new society. ESSAY IV. INNER TRINITY HEALING - bringing IT, EGO & SUPEREGO in coherence - The
basement of every sane community and society are sane human
individuals. Because our current civilization is quite insane in many
perspectives, the vast majority of people are quite disturbed as well.
Their inside is as conflictive as the competitive society outside and
needs to be healed for any further successfull socialization. In a psychologically sane human being the inner psychic trinity of IT (instinctive psychic nature), EGO (individual body consciousness and persona) and SUPEREGO (integrated cultural programms) are working synergistically together as a coherently embodied psyche. Our psychic nature is made to provide us in all possible terrestrial environments with basic survival skills plus higher socialization instincts plus playfull curiosity and creativity. Our internalized culture is meant to be the linguistic and mental crown of our instinctive nature, capable of complex communication, flexible understanding and conscious evolving in a certain environment. The EGO in their midst is meant to manage successfully our individual body, provide us with a social personallity and focus consciousness now and here on a concentrated point in time and space. All three nourish and support each other. This type of sane psyche is most often found in hunter-gatherer-hordes and primitive tribes. In higher cultivated tribes and early civilizations this sanity becomes increasingly rare with increasing enforcement of cultural domestication. All higher civilizations developed this tendency further on towards inner and outer nature hostility, so that the SUPEREGO imposes itself with educational enforcement upon our natural instincts to supress and deny or tame and exploit them. The christian lust hostillity is a typical example, that turned nowadays in itīs opposite as capitalistic porn industry. The EGO is in most civilized people not the connection and concentration of the greater realms of nature and culture in a human individual, but an isolated, selfish, narcizistic entity, that is kept illusionary and dependend by itīs culture, to be ruled and exploited. The suppressed IT produces demon armies of psychic shadows, that mostly dwell in the subconscious, where our inner nature is kept and tormented in the dungeons of our culture. On the individual and collective level those demons raise inner conflict and outer war to attack and destroy itīs oppressing culture like an underground guerrilla army against the empires systemic forces. Who wants to heal from the inner chaos of conflicting psychic entieties, can recalibrate oneself with an INNER TRINITY HEALING. First step is to spend some time in wild nature and learn to reconnect with ones instincts. Best in a group situation with a conscious healing programm, to include the awakening of our social instincts, too. Second step is to widen ones EGO-perspective from the isolation illusion through INNER SELF MEDITATION and spiritual all-unity-experiences, to understand our EGO as a tiny individual tip of the greater mountain ridges of civilization and cosmos. Third step would be a conscious cultural value recalibration. Everything learned, that does not serve one, has to be recognized and banished. Everything learned, that nourishes ones inner nature and ones self-connected EGO, may flourish. Any new cultural content one learns, shall empower and embalance ones inner sanity. The more one heals, the more one can feel, how the inner coherence is producing an ever greater psychic energy to provide our thriving. Inner peace is growing and outer conflicts are vanishing. Individual and collective can come more easily in coherent flow with each other. ESSAY V.
ROOTS OF PATRIARCHY
A patriarchy is a culturally invented form of society, where males are
dominating the societies politics. It has not only one single, but a
few quite different roots, that are often misunderstood in nowadays
discussions about this topic. The first and most important root is to
be seen in the male gender role in indigenous horde and tribal
communities. Those men are building teams to stripe and secure the
tribal territory. They organize the tribal politics towards outsiders,
protect the tribe from hostile intruders and make treaties with their
neighbours. Thus the male gender role is much more externalised than
the female role, which is much more orientated towards the internal
organization of tribal life, including caring for the children group.
When population density was rising during the ages, the external
politics became more and more important - and so the male role as
outside politician became more dominant in internal tribal decisions,
which had to match increasingly the necessities of outside diplomacy.
So this root of male domination was indeed not anything violently
imposed on the tribal life, but a consequence of population growth.
The second root of patriarchy is to be seen in the Eurasian steppe herders mentallity as human lifestock keepers. They were male dominated cultures due to the economics of lifestock keepers, where the herding of animals and the providing of the tribe with food, clothes, building material etc. was exclusively done by males. The mentallity of lifestock keepers is that of slave keepers, who break the will of animals to tame and use them. Itīs just one step further to impose this mentallity also on humans. Especially if those are outlandish and therefor not considered to be fully human. So the steppe herders learned to raid their agraric and urban neighbouring cultures, to take their land and to make human slaves. They transformed whole conquered societies into herds of human lifestock. To do so, they used black magic to dehumanize their enemies and submiss them under the conquerors culture. This root of patriarchy is profoundly sick and still one of the main sources of human suffering today. The third important root of patriachy is to be seen in the internal tribal competition between male teams for ressouces and access to the womens group for procreation. Especially bigger tribes form not only one, but a whole bunch of male teams, who compete with each other. The more teams, the more competition. Especially for procreation around the monthly fullmoon festivities male teams compete with each other for the favour of the fertile women in mostly ritualized mannors like dancing or wrestling competitions. In quite a few higher developed tribal cultures like the ancient greeks Indo-european elite the dominating male teams often forced the looser teams to stay away completely from the womens group. This seemed to be mixed up with the Indo-european steppe herders slave keeping mentallity, because the dominant male teams of the greek society were exclusively Indo-european conquerors, meanwhile the male teams of the submissed indigenous people where more and more excluded from the central tribal life - including procreation - and lastly split up into single males, who where coupled with an indigenous woman to breed and educate slave children for their tribal masters. Here again is found a lot of black magic around creating a deep fear of women in the submissed males, who learned to hate and undervalue women in general. This is the main cause of the long and sad tradition of lesser social valuing of women in patriarchal societies. And there is a fourth, more indirect root of patriarchy as a result of the agelong war between the genders. Suppressed women often take sublime revenges, especially in their home realms of internal community organization, emotions and sociallity, where they can prepare the hell on earth to men. Nowadays one can still see the huge amount of agelong gathered female hatred against their suppression in the current leftist "woke" movement, which likes to see a rapist and male supremacist in every man. The men, who are suffering such female hatred, often react also in hatred, so that the gender war continues to go on, even if the genders now live officially in emanzipated societies, where men and women have the same human rights. All together the patriarchy is nowadays officially over - at least in most western societies -, but still surviving in the mass psychology and personal lifes of the vast majority of former patriarchally submissed people. To heal mankind from this profound suffering it would be a good idea to differenciate the black magic parts of violant and submissive patriarchy from the biologically traditional male role as more externally orientated. Itīs not about keeping men down and telling them, that their very nature is aggressive and evil, itīs about making them selfconfident and socially capable enough to understand, that they donīt need to submiss nobody to function well in society. Men tend to be more competitive and aggressive then women, but that must not be a thread to society, but can be itīs best natural protection against all possible harms. We need fully grown and mature men, who are able and willing to overcome the dark ages of violant patriarchy. And we need women, who value such men and raise such sons. This will be at last the historical end of an age of male dominated and cultivated violance. *** |
