I Have a Secret |
I have a secret.
Those that would listen to my secret are not those most in need of my
counsel. Those, like myself, that are searching for that final concept to
unlock the secret, will find it here. It was once common knowledge born of
lives lived amidst hardship death and misery. The past held tragedy at
every step for humans engaged in survival; yet we seldom heard complaints by
those considering themselves victims. Those unable to recover from life's
traumas, would normally perish through the behavior associated with irrational
fear and hate. Where death is near and commonplace, life is held in great
esteem. People of character and good will are admired and valued. In
the past, human nature and purpose was as clear and as compelling as the summer
sun. The majority of people living upon the planet named Earth, lived
primitive lives of disease and starvation. "We the People" no
longer face the overwhelming threat of death by disease or starvation. We
live in a time of great plenty and are sheltered from the sight and constant
presence of death. The mind of Mankind has delivered us into a world
shaped by human hands at the direction of human minds. We share a standard
of living never dreamed possible by those living even a hundred years before
us. As a people, we have removed the reality of death from our
lives. In doing so, we have removed the reality of life, and the appreciation for our
ancestor's sacrifices to the freedom that has delivered such lives of
ease upon us. It has been said, "Virtue is its own
reward." Most consider this a trite expression which lacks
meaning. The virtuous man understands the veracity of this marvelously
elegant statement. All joy, happiness, and contentment in life springs
from virtue. Behavior in accordance with human nature and purpose results
in the virtue that brings peace to the mind and a deep inner sense of joy or
bliss. The one uniquely human instinct, the conscience, rewards the human
mind for such behavior. Conversely, the conscience will punish the human
mind for behavior which is contrary to human nature and purpose. Whether
it is amoral behavior, or moral behavior in accordance with an arbitrary
standard of value, which causes the contrary behavior; all misery is created by
such behavior. There is a special birth defect of the human mind which
creates human beings devoid of conscience. They are neither recipients of
joy nor misery. They strive for only one thing in life. They strive
for power over others. Whether it is the serial killer that has gained the
pleasure of power over his victims, or the attorney defending him, that gains
pleasure at his deceitful power over society and the minds of the jurors.
Human existence
has been a tortured affair, with these evil mutants destroying one society after
another. I only have a secret because of these evil creatures. They
are the ones keeping the secret unknown to you. There is nothing which
threatens their power more than the knowledge of human nature and purpose.
A human being which behaves in accordance with human nature is beyond their
control or influence. They will never know or appreciate the mind of the
virtuous man, fearing him more than anything upon the Earth. It will amaze me if these words are ever published
or allowed to be read by others. We live in a time of "political
correctness" with "thought police" judging that which can be said
and that which cannot. We live in a time where behavior is less important
to the law than thought. "Hate" crimes are defined to punish
people for thought more than behavior. It is not just poor behavior that
is illegal, but most importantly it is what was being thought that precipitated
the behavior. "Dangerous ideas" cannot be allowed. Just as a "conman" cannot
"con" an honest man, these demagogues cannot sway the minds of men
that understand human nature and purpose. Once called
"psychopaths", later called "sociopaths", and most recently
called "malignant narcissists"; I will use the term
"sociopath" to refer to these destructive people. Once an
individual understands human nature, the sociopath becomes apparent.
Instead of seeing a likable pleasant man with words of generosity and empathy,
an individual of virtue will see the evil disfigured power hungry mind of a
sociopath eliciting victims to his control and compliance in his quest for more
power over others. My secret is the secret of virtue. The most
valuable item in the world to any human is virtue. It cannot be given to
the famous, purchased by the rich, nor stolen by the powerful. To be
obtained, virtue must simply be recognized and grasped. It is seemingly
simple.
Once again I have gotten ahead of myself. I
have used the term "evil" without any discussion.
"Evil" is the key to the secret. To behave with an absence of
evil is the virtue. There have been many
definitions of evil throughout the history of Mankind; just as there have been
many standards by which to judge evil. For centuries, philosophers have
pondered the existence of evil. For evil to exist, Mankind must have the
ability to know. Many philosophies have denied Mankind's ability to know,
therefore removing the possibility of evil. These philosophies are
"tailor made" for the sociopaths that want to gain and exercise power
over the population. The once great institutions of knowledge and learning
have fallen to the philosophies of mindlessness that deny knowledge. The
contradiction is obvious and blaring, but none wish to announce that "the
king has no clothes." How often do you hear the phrase, "that
thinking is too black and white," used by today's
pseudo-intellectuals? There would be massive revolts in the
streets if government were to seize control of the media and use it for
propaganda purposes; yet in this same nation the
people think nothing of giving the unformed minds of their children to the
government for indoctrination. Public education is an illusion. When
the government controls the schools, the schools will eventually adopt the
"Progressive" education system that is used throughout the United
States today. The "Progressive" education system is no more than
a system of indoctrination and mind destruction. Our institutions of higher learning, once very different in the content of their curricula, are now of one homogenous
curriculum. A curriculum that has been approved by the government.
Student loans and grants will not be allowed to students that choose an
institution using a curriculum that has not been approved by the
government. Once again, public education does not exist. Public education is
simply indoctrination of the young, to be pliable and accepting of manipulation
by those that are truly evil and wish a compliant mass of citizens. Our
Forefathers intended that the government was to create no institution of
religion. Philosophy is in every sense a religion. It is an
individual's philosophy which dictates the individual's ideology, controlling the
individual's behavior. Philosophy dictates the standard of
value by which an individual behaves. Our government has seen to it that
education is accomplished which is in direct opposition to the morality of human
purpose and freedom. Christian morality is completely compatible with the morality of human
purpose and freedom. Christian virtue rewards the mind with bliss. Our schools not only wage war against the moral basis of
Christianity; they wage war against morality itself. They wage war against
the human mind and its purpose. There is an "evil" among humans. The evil
is winning and about to plunge the world into another "Dark
Age." Our schools have become institutions of a dark religion, and our
universities are nothing more than altars of evil. When I write of
philosophy, I am met with the phrase, "you have much to learn regarding
philosophy!" What is being said is that I have not learned the rules
of philosophy, which do not allow knowledge. For some reason philosophers,
from our esteemed institutions, know that I cannot know. How they can know
that they cannot know is a contradiction which only an idle mind can accept
after years of viewing only itself. It is a philosophy which was developed
in the Eighteenth Century, about the time our Forefathers were creating the
first association of Mankind based upon the ethics of individual freedom.
The mindless philosophy, often called nihilism, creates a society of victims
that think of Mankind as evil by nature. A society of people filled with
fear and the unnatural human emotion of hate. A society that hates haters
and is intolerant of intolerance. A society of contradiction and
confusion. An amoral society that sees nothing as evil except Mankind and
any form of morality. Nihilism was created to help the Lutheran Church in Germany. The
knowledge of science was causing individuals to question their
faith. The mindless nihilism was a philosophy created to negate the knowledge
of science, returning people
to their faith and the Church. Ironically, it is now the philosophy which is destroying
the ethics of churchgoers throughout the world. It is the philosophy which
gave rise to Hitler and Stalin. Marx was born and raised in Germany.
It is the philosophy embraced
by all sociopaths seeking power. It is the philosophy which portrays
itself as natural and a benefit to the weak and poor victims of society. It came to the United States with the
immigrants from Germany that settled areas of Wisconsin and Minnesota. I always find our
presidential elections fascinating. The good, kind, and generous, people
of the United States all tend to vote for one candidate, while the mindless
people that feed off of each other and live in cities, always vote for the other candidate. The exception is
always the state of Wisconsin and parts of Minnesota, where even the rural areas vote in compliance
with the same candidate followed by the city dwellers. Wisconsin is also the
first state to accept and apply "Progressive" education. There
have been no philosophical breakthroughs in thought for over two
centuries. Even Marx was a reiteration, applying nihilism to an ideology
of supreme power. Our education system implies that our Forefathers are outdated and the nihilism
of their time is novel and proper thinking. The ideas of Sir Francis Bacon
and John Locke have been completely refuted by the philosophies of
mindlessness. Perhaps Bacon and Locke did not know enough about "proper
philosophical
thought" and had a lot to learn about philosophy. Given today's knowledge,
I doubt that Bacon or Locke would have any problem dispelling the contradictory
foolishness that is taught so thoroughly in our universities. The ideas
that lead me to the knowledge which is my secret, are contained in the
appendices. The appendices were written prior to awareness and knowledge
which lead to my catharsis. They are the foundation of my
secret. For a discussion of philosophy and the
human mind, now would be a good time to read Appendix A if you care to do
so. The important concepts are summarized below:
— Existence Exists — There is a reality about us that is responsible for our
creation. We are part of this reality, and our minds have been structured to understand
it.
Having various mental contexts, people may perceive reality differently, but the
same reality is sensed by all people. Existence is the only axiom; one
cannot ask, "what is is?", nor can one explain what is is. Not
only is the existence of matter axiomatic, but so is the existence of
energy. Energy is Time.
Imagination is key to conceptualization and also key to ignorance. It
requires volition to focus the mind to perception and acquisition of
knowledge. There are procedures to validate perception and remove
arbitrary affects of differing perception driven by differing mental contexts and
imagination. Imagination is used to create the concepts which result in
knowledge. Imagination can also be used to create the concepts which
pervert knowledge to the ignorance used to insulate the mind from the
truth. To some, the truth can be traumatic. The human instinct
called "conscience" rewards a mind building knowledge and punishes a
mind engaged in the perversion of knowledge to ignorance.
Human beings are carnivores lacking the physical attributes to capture and
devour prey. Human beings are carnivores without the weapons of teeth or
claw, but equipped with the human mind. A mind which is aware of
time. A mind that can recognize causality. The purpose of the human mind
is to direct human behavior for future accomplishments. The mind must belay
atavistic instincts (emotional reactions) and focus upon behavior which manipulates the environment to achieve
future goals.
The structure and function of the human mind requires standards of value by
which to judge the reality about it. We are familiar with many of the
standards used by the mind, such as standards of measure and weight. These standards are used to
conceptualize the reality outside of the mind. Human behavior is
controlled by the human mind and not atavistic instincts, which are manifest as
emotion. Ethical
standards apply only to human behavior, which implies that only certain human behavior
can be judged evil.
There is a uniquely human instinct. The human mind requires honest
unfiltered information to properly conceptualize the realty about it. The
human conscience is the instinct which reacts to human behavior and the
imagination of the human mind. All happiness, joy, and contentment is
created by the human conscience. All misery, agony, and self-loathing is
created by the human conscience as well. The key to happiness is the
development of a standard of value by which to guide behavior. This
standard (ethic or moral standard) must be in accordance with human nature and
purpose, to bring happiness and fulfillment. Lack of such a standard, or a
standard which directs behavior contrary to human nature and purpose, will
result in misery, agony, and self-loathing. This misery is most often
known as guilt. Both the joy and the misery, created in the mind by the
conscience, are cumulative.
That said, it is time to examine human nature and purpose. Human beings are a living organism and share a common purpose with all life. We only exist today because the chemical reaction of life has survived and grown. Each life form shares the same purpose of all life, survival. They differ only in the manner by which they have been formed structurally and the functions they perform in order to accomplish the purpose. Structure implies function, and function implies purpose. Each life form has unique properties and tools available to it. The unique tool of the human being is the intelligence of the human mind. Our minds were built as tools to seek a goal. That goal is our purpose. Our tools allow us to fulfill that purpose. Activities which use the human tool, the mind, in accordance with human purpose, therefore comprise what can be considered human nature. Our minds will create joy as we behave towards our purpose and punish with agony any behavior or imagination which denies that purpose. Thus all happiness and misery in human existence will be the product of each human's choice of behavior. The goal of human life, defines its nature and purpose. All behavior contrary to human nature and purpose is EVIL. All behavior not contrary with human nature and purpose is by default good.
