Blog to continue in a stream of consciousness fashion.. i.e. words jump tamely over the inner stone wall of the mind.
A process which works well in the orderly minds we are all supposed to have in order to co-exist in the rational hyper-interactive world.
However this Joycean ‘loner’ process contains hidden dangers..
A loner is a loser and the latter is a potential criminal or in global terms a terrorist. (This ‘four-step’ process is definitely worth studying and we can do that later..
This blog started off symbolically with the execution of Wu Ying. Consciousness is thrown into turmoil by the ‘disappearance’ of the perfect ‘other’ and must now re-found itself in a cataclysmic world. This is the process which starts empires as in ‘The rape of Lucretia’:
Lucrece draws on the story described in both Ovid‘s Fasti and Livy‘s history of Rome. In 509 BC, Sextus Tarquinius, son of Tarquin, the king of Rome, raped Lucretia(Lucrece), wife of Collatinus, one of the king’s aristocratic retainers. As a result, Lucrece committed suicide. Her body was paraded in the Roman Forum by the king’s nephew. This incited a full-scale revolt against the Tarquins led by Lucius Junius Brutus, the banishment of the royal family, and the founding of the Roman republic.
This proto-event breaks the tameness and causes a counter-reaction and then eventually the mind finds equilibrium.
The event which causes the most trauma in the modern mind is the twentieth century period the rise of the self-destructive ideological entities Bolshevism/fascism and their accompanying dictators in the countries then and again now known as Germany/Russia.
I believe this period is the ‘home of fraud’, there were so many executions/rapes/deaths/disappearances that the period seems unable to create the tame S.of.C as mentioned before.
Neither of the accepted methods statistical or case study can solve this period. It continues to resonate as though this period is alive today as a recurring potential.
Yesterday I received a Medvedev tweet and he mentions seeing the current head of the U.N. – at the terrorism conference in Sth Korea i think, and he hopes he is looking forward to ‘special handling’! Now of course this term refers to ‘Sonderbehandlung’ which was the most famous euphemism the Germans used for captive populations most notably the Jewish population.
A dichotomy is ‘always’ the root cause of pain.
This Christian-Jew dichotomy seems to be at the root here, where self-reflective thought crosses and recrosses a rational/irrational boundary. And it was the Nazi attempt to solve this alleged ‘problem’ which created the concept of final solution which became a term synonymous with that period.
There is a novel way of viewing this period.
There was no ‘victory’ in this period asininely termed World War Two merely the re-imposed ‘counter-solution’ of democracy on the one hand by the Allied powers and the delaying of this process in Eastern Europe. So if democracy is X + Y = Z, fascism is X + Y = X, then Bolshevism was X + Y = Y eventually stagnating into Y + Y = Y. Where the bold term is an intensification or re-intensification of the original term as a mental construct rather than a true variable.
Democracy gives equal weighting to all three triadic elements, fascism weights the original or static element, Bolshevism weights the added element.
A statistical approach to the World war 2 period yields army strengths, battle casualties, executions, civilian casualties, pogroms, round-ups and extermination figures but the individual becomes subsumed. Any attempt to impose a case study becomes of course a psychological profiling of one of the famed leaders or the typical soldier/N.C.O./ officer of the various armies.
Then there are the myriad ‘wotifs’..
Yet there is a ‘solution’ to this period if the mind adjusts itself to viewing these events in the same way physicists view anti-matter. This period involved self-destructive energy or more precisely this energy centred upon the male. So this period lasted for as long as this self-destructiveness was capable of continuing. This continuation protracted due to continued ignorance about exactly how the Nazi leadership of Germany functioned.
The difficulties among the key Allied nations is better known but there is of course more..
Viewed in absolutely negative terms, where the war was triggered due to the negation of the negation approach by both totalitarian societies, this war was not won but rather retarded or arrested by the various counter-destructive or in the case of the U.S.S.R. counter-counter-destructive powers with the various entities list-able in terms of their self-destructiveness:
1. Nazi Germany.
2. U.S.S.R.
3. Expansionist Japan.
4. U.S.A.
So this list is definitely NOT a list of victors!!
It is a list of prime negators.
It enumerates the extent to which the country embodied a dimension of male-self-destructiveness.
So Nazi Germany was pushed into the plane of non-existence, the Soviets in the sensual plane, the Japanese were concretized and the U.S.A. at the level of overseeing this destruction at the level of enlightened consciousness.
The U.S.A. had difficulties countering the totalitarian surge as it followed what I term an approach of logical optimism, an 18th/19th century approach to existence permitted by its massive living spaces.
Today, a different story..
More synthesis to follow…
