Beware of God

-On the same vein as of before, there is the need to bolster up our defenses against the mass violation by the establishment. May be Establishment is not the right word, may be some thing more meaningful is needed. It is hard to find the real in the realm of the virtually real. I believe that is the one big problem facing the world at present. We are so used to value our experience supplied through the media that we do not bother to investigate it any further. Yes I know, our capacities are limited, we do not have fancy technology with us, we do not have the financial backing for the effort, and we do not have the spare time to invest in the effort. That is where raising the level of awareness matters. This is not easy. Those in power would do everything to subvert it. Any one moving against the established order has to be prepared for a grim battle, for it is like an octopus with billion tentacles. We just can not cut all its tentacles at one go. But we can sever one two or more tentacles if we put our effort into it. You might think, what the hell is the use of fighting against such immense odds, but again that is what the establishment wants. They are pretty sure we would turn back and fall a prey to our own despair.

Yes the things have changed; we would never see a situation where the renaissance was enacted. We may not see the fall of the present establishment. It is far too secure for that. Its technological superiority would guarantee its survival. But we are not talking about physical battle here. That is impossible, what we have in mind is an emotional and intellectual battle which is of more importance at present. No, the old methods would not be any use for this struggle. It has to be waged inside ourselves. We need to cling to the ideas of freedom and the right to live like human beings. On the superficial level no one would like to be the slaves of those in power. We may even have mistaken notions that the structure of power is man made and is supported by us. We might even be made to think that it would not survive unless we exercise our franchise in the periodic elections. Nothing could be more farther than the truth. Take any election in the modern era. Those who come into power follow the established order as if pre-programmed to do it. Do not doubt it in the least, they are carefully chosen to carry on the effort of their predecessors, what ever may be the color of their professed beliefs.

The right wing and the left wing compete with each other in promoting the same style of government. This is glaringly obvious to all who take a cursory glance at the functioning of these structures. The poor politicians have as little choice as we have in the matter. They are as controlled as we are. But then who is the controlling entity. That is the big question really. And it is the most difficult of all questions in the present context. It can not be answered by pointing to a single entity standing alone and supervising everything like god. What we have is the mass consciousness acting against its own free existence. What we have is a phenomena which kills itself to supersede it self. It is a situation where the mind has turned against it self and destroying everything it stood for.

It can be a bit unclear to those who are not familiar with the functions of the human consciousness. It is a historical phenomenon. It grew with us and it is trying to supersede us, in the sense that it would strive to replace the puny man with the superman of Nietzsche, it has obtained our individual sanctions by the constant exhibition of human weakness. It says we are weak, we cry and blabber. We cringe and draw back. We are no good. We are emotional; we need medicines to calm ourselves. We can not look after ourselves, we need assistance, we need directions, and we need some shoulders to lean to. We are hopeless. The future of the world is not safe in our hands. The world requires supermen, those who can rule and those who can dictate, those who would not be troubled by a few drops of tears.

This is the mass consciousness working through us; it is the greatest enemy to the human kind. We need to be aware of it in its essence. It is no mean enemy, it has a strangle hold on us from the time immemorial, it has always wanted to substitute us with something more dependable. I firmly believe that it is the human weaknesses which fostered this destructive force. We all would like to become more ruthless more effective and more lethal. It is as great a desire within as that of submitting ourselves to something. In the struggle of these two opposing forces the super slave lost out and the superman won. It would remain so if we are not careful. This is the era of the gestation of the superman. Once it grows to its full potential we would be relegated to the status of guinea pigs living in reservations.

The first step in the counter move, in the move to arm ourselves against the superman syndrome is to prepare ourselves to do battle within and without unceasingly to cling to the idea of man and reject the crown of superman that is being offered to us. Every effort to divorce us from our human element is to be defeated. Let us cling to what would make us human, not what would make us God.
