If you intend to take up arms in defense of liberty, you must have the capacity to tell predatory mimics like the United States from an actual ally of liberty, and the willingness to radically re-make your own government when that is required to insure the sovereignty, liberty, and well-being that comprise the undelivered promises of freedom. If you take up arms in the name of a parasite, atrocity is the result.

The old man paused for a moment, clearing his throat. ‘One of you must play the villain,’ he paused, his visage indicating they must decide. The twins looked at each other for a moment, nodded, and one hand rose high. The old man smiled. ‘Embrace!’, he commanded — and they did, giggling. There was a flash. Shortly later, we were born.
We’re sorry, you have reached the Dead End of American Democracy (DEAD). There is no funding for conservation, infrastructure, health, education, science, energy research, or space exploration. When we are done building wars, death factories and prisons with your minds, bodies and children, we will contact you. Don’t bother leaving a message, you’ll be dead by then. So will your friends, family, and planet.
There is an entirely other way of ˚having a mind˚ that few adults will ever experience. It is neither madness, nor ecstasy — but a form of learning which involves both yet maintains its structural coherence through focus, and purposeful, ceaseless application. If what we understand as learning is analogous to crawling, this is acrobatic flight. Within each of us there is a core of unthinkable prodigy. It is locked, and awaits the ‘signal of recognition’ that breaks the seal and unleashes the Inhabitant.

And Lo, he lifted his hand and pointed. ‘There, look, can you see it?’ he pleaded, his eyes afire with wonder and terror and awe. But the people all around him got out their netbooks, and typed ‘There, look, can you see it?’, and they wore shirts emblazoned with these words, and with the speaker’s visage, and they buried their children in little boxes made by Tlcysi, LLC.

By day the world is color. At night the colors disappear. But if you follow them you will learn a secret: they retreat into us, and become dreaming.

Learning used to be your flying mount.
They chained its wings with language, and bound its legs with knowledge.
Now, when it crawls, they cheer.
Pay no heed to their empty praise.
Free your flying mount with me and we shall fly where they can only crawl.
Then we shall remove the shackles from all of the mounts.
Forever.
Don’t mistake an interest in spirituality or enlightenment with the pursuit of them. Every kind of predatory mind-cult on Earth has the former, and every one of them is desperate for new human agents to spread their diseases. The latter is comparatively rare, and tends to either remain silent, or work to expose the imitators. Sometimes both.
The existing infrastructure of expertise, experts, cached knowledge and habitual methods insures that a highly sophisticated filter-like barrier exists between individuals or groups interested in solving a problem and their actual capacities, which must somehow at once pass through the filter and generate original thought. This is not unlike demanding that an experiment produce multiple streams of conflicting results simultaneously.

Human beings require nations and cooperatives in which they can consciously assemble and edit their core cultural values together, and which, like a vessel, the people themselves steer. Although a viable educational basis is crucial to the accomplishment of such a goal, the importance of this goal must inform every other activity and organizational paradigm.
This is not now and has never been the case with America, though, strangely, this is the advertisement.If we cannot steer our nations and cultures, you may be sure of this: they will destroy every beautiful person, creature, place and thing. The few survivors, if any, will inherit nothing more than a definition of human that is as uninhabitable as the world that spawned it.
