writers of the universe

I would disagree that man is primarily an economic creature

It is my belief that there are yet two factors beneath the economical one
that are more influential on the behaviour of a human being

The first of these,
the one second to closest to the core of human existence
and the focus area of this essay,
is the ideological factor

In other words, the human being
is a creature whose existence is dictated by its ideas

Of which follows,
what dictates the behaviour of mankind
is the ideas present
in mankind

The most powerful people on earth are not the ones
with twelve digit bank account numbers,
nor the ones in presidential positions,
nor the ones controlling weapons of mass destruction
but the ones with weapons of mass confusion
or weapons of mass illumination

The written word
is the most powerful tool we have
for expression, communication and conservation of ideas

Language is the foundation of the cognitive entity entitled perception
whose purpose is to interpret the environment surrounding the organism
in order to improve the probabilities of a succesful life
for all organisms of the universe,
one of whom is
the human being
whose mechanism of interpretation
which is a sub-entity to perception
is telling her what is believed to be going on out there
and what is not going on out there

Perception is the entity retrieving information
and interpretation the entity communicating the ideas that arise from this information
to the organism
through language -
a process of reconstructing the material universe
in both the individual and collective consciousness
constructing an immaterial universe,
a universe of ideas

The universe of ideas has two constituents,
words and images

The fusion of words and images
is what we mean when we us the word “idea“

The individual consciousness is physical,
located not inside the organism,
but materialized in the shape of the organism,
the body,
the manifestation of energy in the universe of matter,
the universe of e = mc²

The collective consciousness is located in the universe of ideas, unmaterialized,
not physical, but ideological
untouchable by the hands of man
touchable only
by the mind
of man
which is one of the reasons why the idea of the material universe being reality
is the absurdity
of the century
since nothing in the ideological universe
is like the physical universe

Both these universes exercise an effect on the human being
and yet most of us take only the latter into consideration
when attempting to explain the constituency of life and the universe

The individual consciousness is the organism
whose masters, creators and maintenants are our cells
and not the intellectual entity
in which we usually place our idea of identity

Our intellect
though made up of cells and though organized
is not a self-nourishing organization
and only self-nourishing organizations have a consciousness
and have to have a consciousness

Nothing that has been reconstructed by the consciousness
has at this point of the evolution ever had the same characterstics as its material counterpart
which, however, is no argument that even touches the discussion
of whether there actually exists such a thing as a material universe or not

The idea mentioned above is a rational mistake
since the difference between the physical universe and the ideological universe
between matter and consciousness,
between existence and perception of existence,
is only a difference in construction material

The purpose of the ideological universe
is to enable the human organism
to release itself from matter
to extinguish all distinctions
to make us independent of the material universe,
make us independent of space and time

The point in time will occur
when the physical universe will no longer exist
but the ideological universe
will

Our march is not towards the eternal
Our march is the eternal

Existence
is
and the next evolutionary step
for the reconstruction of our perception
to be as accurate as possible
is to fuse all interpretations
of information
into one

The next evolutionary step
is to weave the instinctive, emotional, mathematical, aesthetical and intellectual interpretations into a coherent and harmonious system of ideas
giving birth to the impulsive unhierarchical oneified consciousness and thus annihiliating
both the individualistic hierarchical materialistic tradition-upholding consciousness,
the individualistic isolationistic reductionistic knowledge-searching consciousness
as well as the sacrifitial two-step-hierarchical materialistic industrial consciousness
and all other rationally askew societal systems

Nothing is
and nothing ever will be
here to stay

Everything is
everything always was
everything always will be

The notion of time
is an illusion of time

For this reason, it will not be long before both the
individualistic hierarchical materialistic tradition-upholding consciousness,
the individualistic isolationistic reductionistic knowledge-searching consciousness
as well as the sacrifitial twostep-hierarchical materialistic industrial consciousness
and all other combinations of confusion
will be replaced
by the impulsive unhierarchical oneified knowledge-finding energetical consciousness
and this ideological revolution
unlike the ones from one of the above to another one of the above
will be bloodless

Everything is always headed
in the right direction

It is never a question of good and bad
but of more good
or less

It is a question of time
of energy
of suffering
and of putting an end to the suffering

It is a question of,
to the highest extent possble,
getting rid of the interpretation of life
and the universe
as something shaky
unreliable
something empty
cold
and, to the highest extent possible, replace it with an interpretation of life
and the universe
that is in better coherence
with the one which is right now telling us
that the rain raining comes from the clouds and not the sun

The day this interpretation is planted into the collective consciousness
is the day the circle will transform into a sphere
and it can only come to life
when the ideological system upon which our societal system rests
is the impulsive unhierarchical onefied knowledge-finding energetical consciousness,
which recognizes the one love
everywhere
always
forever
that can always be relied on
something whole
full

One love everywhere
always and forever
in everything happening
everything happened and
everything going
to happen
fusing love, energy, rationality
into one

Change will come
inevitably
because no one can ever take away the most powerful tool ever existed -
the thinking
the writing
the right ink
giving birth to the words
to the ideas
to yourself
to ourselves
to the universe

You are the writer
I am the writer
We are the writers
of the universe

Let’s do it well.

Let’s make it good.
