Spirals Work in Concert & The Belief in Words Dis-ease
written sometime ago
by John Kendall Graham
It remains my Life Purpose to be in
educational relationship with my fellow human beings so that all of us can know
more of the ways that we are all connected with energy and that it is through a
knowing about its primary manifestation in the form of DNA, and an adaptation
of that knowledge to our attitude formation, that we can, as a species, put an
end to the chaos and strife with which we afflict ourselves in our everyday
life, especially in our conversations.
The Great Enemy to this educational relationship has been what I call
‘The Belief in Words Disease, called this to at once describe a major cause for
human division and the ways it manifests itself. The cause is the deliberate
and systematic instruction by Establishment systems to accept as true what only
exists because we believe it does. The manifestation is the words in phrases,
clauses, entire sentences which many of us speak everyday and will not have
crossed, contradicted or corrected without producing a feeling of dis-ease in our body/mind.
‘Spirals Work in Concert’ (SWiC) is the
antidote to ‘The Belief in Words Disease’. Developed from understandings of the
ways DNA/RNA function as a message or language system, and much rehearsed when encouraging
students in universities to be meaning-makers, promoting ecologically based
businesses, youth focused projects and personal transformative coaching in a
failed business of mine called ‘Living Advice for YOUR actions and reasons, SWiC provides us with a choice to model our
own communication in accord with Nature, and so free us from a necessary
dependence on those culturally produced concepts, ideas and opinions, many of which
are in themselves either false or obsolete, and either way can be clearly shown
to have been among the most potent sources for our ecologically ruinous
behaviors.
Perhaps the most blatant indicator of the ways
human culture has invaded human nature is the condition of Civil War, where
families divide against each other on account of the emotional and intellectual
attachments members have to contesting ideologies. The Civil War in England
during the 1640’s was the time/space chosen to investigate this phenomenon, to
which I gave the appellation ‘the Politics of Words’.
A history of ideas from the perspective of a
history of language events only heightened my awareness of the ways human
living, including human death and misery, occurred in the context of words and
the presuppositions imbuing their linguistic practice. Thought processes were
manipulated to create internecine conflict by those trained in language systems
who selected words which would produce the effect they desired in their readers
and hearers. A society where people were emotionally vulnerable to the content
and manner of speech could be easily aroused by words to atrocious actions,
such as the killing of babies, the raping of women and the murder of boys and
men. Torture, destruction of property, wholesale ruin of crops was part of the
wicked mix of this politics of words.
Of course, as you would know from your own
studies and professional work, this evil politics of words had been fashioned
before the Seventeenth Century and has functioned since, and so it will forever
if human life continues to be controlled by the Belief in Words Disease. It is
that contagion which spreads as truths such lies as that there is ‘a ladder of
success’, ‘a level playing field’, that ‘money makes the world go round’, that
‘biggest is best’, and that there are people who are born to rule and others
who are born to serve.
The widespread acceptance of such notions and
their adoption by people at the cellular
level of their being perpetuate the Rule by the Emperors of Language. It is the
predisposition of people to believe IN such words that disallows their
liberation from the system oppressing them. It is the ‘abyss’ from which Erich
Maria Remarque, author of All Quiet on the Western Front, recoiled in
fear with loathing:
I am often on guard over the Russians. In the darkness one sees their
forms move like sick storks…They close up to the wire fence and lean their
faces against it; their fingers hook around the mesh…. I see their dark forms ,
their beards move in the wind. I know nothing of them except that they are
prisoners; and that is exactly what troubles me. Their life is obscure and
guiltless; - if I could know more of them, what their names are, how they live,
what they are waiting for, what are their burdens then my emotion would have an
object and might become sympathy. But as it is I perceive behind them only the
suffering of the creature, the awful melancholy of life and the pitilessness of
men.
A
word of command has made these silent figures our enemies; a word of command
might transform them into our friends. At some table a document is signed by
some person whom none of us knows, and then for years together that very crime
on which formerly the world’s condemnation and
severest
penalty fall, becomes our highest aim. But who can draw such a distinction when
he looks at these quiet men with their childlike faces and apostle’s beards.
Any non-commissioned officer is more of an enemy to a recruit, any schoolmaster
to a pupil, than they are to us. And yet we would shoot at them again and they
at us if they were free.
I am
frightened; I dare think this way no more. This way lies the abyss.(128)
I consider SWiC to be one of those ¨greater spirits”, although, given
that it is based on microscopic DNA/RNA, “greater” does not refer to size,
rather to a closer approximation to a truth of nature.
The only limits to linguistic practice are
those we set upon it. Language is a tool, an instrument with which we make
meanings of the world. Language is ours to use and to guide us in the use of it
there is a ‘language’ in nature, a ‘message’ that we are, each of us, unique
and made so by the working of energy through the form of DNA/RNA. It’s the simple
truth of being alive, it’s being unafraid of our own formulation, accepting of
the natural beauty of it, saved from embarrassment and the charge of immodesty
through knowingly acknowledging the elegantly simple working of the DNA/RNA, which
made us as perfect as a rose.
Spirals Work in Concert offers a ’normal’
educational process by and through which this fear can be taken away through
self-correction in the light of information which has passed both the tests any
truth must pass to be accepted as true, that of feeling and that of thought,
the ‘pre-literate savages’ in their formulation of certain Creation Myths and
Objective Scientific Proof in the Control Cultivator that fills Fury in the
Faculty Farms. In both places evidence of the energetic principle of nature can
be gathered to be shown bearing traces of the spiral motion in their making.
That is why spiral shapes are prominent in much
of these representations in all continents of Earth. That is why the many
appearances of spiral shapes in so-called ‘Primitive Cultures’ are ‘coincidental’ (qv), that is, did happen in
the same time of illiteracy because the making of spiral shapes – lines with
openness – are the closest our Culture/arts/ artefactual life can come to the
motioning shape of Nature…and we were much closer to Nature in our
consciousness when The Great Serpent came into life to explain Creation than
when Watson and Crick published their paper in ‘Nature’ in 1953. For one thing
it was at Kings College where the custom was not to engage in semi-naked
‘dreaming’ as has been the practice of the researchers/teachers/elders of
anyone of the 250 language groups and 600 dialects spoken in the Australian continent
before its European invasion. At Cambridge, even Cambridge, they did their
version of this sort of ‘dreaming’ work… with clothes on.
The event of the ‘discovery’ of DNA got quickly
caught up in the cloak and gown world of Trans-Atlantic academic rivalry before
entering with the White Coats of laboratory bound geneticists to be made into
formulas, like Pythagoras’s Theorem, on the basis of replicable experiment, to
be patented so that they individually or their Corporate Funding Bodies, like
Monsanto, could lay ownership to the entire food chain. The thinking supporting
this appropriation seems to be that if you find out how the spiral works then
what it makes belongs to you. A scary proposal, especially when DNA research
has been given the legal cover of ‘intellectual property’.
In Pythagoras’ time it was different, which is
good for us who have come to rely on it in the construction of anything
requiring a reliable, as in true, measure of what is and what is not a right-
angled triangle. If Pythagoras behaved the way DNA science does, then he would
own every building with corners ever built. The ‘Pythagoras Patent’, had an
enterprising Greek thought to take one out, would surpass ‘Microsoft’ in acquisitive
amplitude, and have less justification than Bill Gate’s has for monopolizing
Information Technology.
After all, right-angled buildings had gone up
for centuries before Pythagoras gave the right -angle geometrical prescription.
He just put it down on paper. The workings Pythagoras described was done by
other men and women.
So how much more audacious is it to see claims
being made to own information about the ways spiral works by those ‘mapping the
genetic code of Life’? These are people with a known track record for
forgetting the Human Context (Nuclear Bomb/Einstein) when they are deeply
immersed in the parochial, self-centered absorption of their experimental work.
Having ’mastered’ the Force of Fission without any single or collective nation
or corporation securing sole ownership of it, successful attempts have been
made to take possession of information which, if only figuratively, can put the
world into a paper cup. We can actually map out what makes Life happen, this
being the Force of FUsion .
Guided by this map we involve ourselves in
experiments of making new life out of existing living things in a test tube. In
the Wrong Hands this could very well launch humans into the Entropy, held as
true in some Philosophy and certainly underlying a lot of New Age
Healing/Teaching, that the universe only exists because we think it does, that
the tree over there isn’t really there if I don’t see it. We believe entities
into existence (e.g. “In the Beginning was the Word, the Word was made Flesh
and dwelt amongst us”) and ignore to extinction what’s already here, and so the
Amazon disappears while books from the distribution publishing house also
called ‘Amazon’ supplies orders for books on Ecology ordered by people in front
of computer screens ‘inter-facing’ over the Internet, caring enough about the
environment to buy books by Sir David Attenborough or Professor Suzuki. Neither
of these good men have advanced on Gregory Bateson whose Mind and Nature,
especially its post-script challenge to Academe, has been left for
Insignificant Senior Lecturers in History to bring against those who’d straiten
the idea of ‘Education’ enough for its spiral implication to be hidden, perhaps
forever.
‘Education’ qv.educare ‘to lead forth’, educere
‘to lead out’, a spiral line, has now become a process to get a diploma for
jobs which exist or don’t exist in an increasingly close connection with
movements of money which doesn't exist on the Futures Market..
The Entropic principle to which I
return has now data to demonstrate its truth. Can’t we make
Tomatoes? Can’t we make Sheep? We only don’t publicize the making of Human
Beings because it has not yet passed enough Ethics Committees, although as they
do allow hot-branding of Sea Lions in Antarctica, it won’t be long before our
consumption based economic rationalism will accept the idea that the natural
procreative activity can be substituted for the artificial one. The outcome – now called ‘the product’- is
the same. A Human Being, human life itself getting assimilated by Rampant
Capitalism, with the fetus and born dead babies selling in shops for between
$70 and $80: bottled, they are, in screw top jars, bought for cooking with a
fried egg for breakfast.
Sea-lions, humans - God’s Creatures are these,
Humans Notably, made notably so by those who speak this way and in the speaking
make ‘God’ exist as the ’Creator’, a line of thought leading on to the entropic
principle that things only exist because we think so, and not otherwise.
Philosophers, New Age Mendicants of the Re-incarnation Order, who argue this
way often are in the forefront of the movement which deconstructed ‘God’ to be
an extension of human thought into a universe without a god.
So if ‘God’ can be shown not to exist, or to
exist only in our thought form and as shaped into languages, all of which are
context specific, all of which can be shown to be serving contemporary needs (many
of which were very other than ‘godly’ in the sense of ‘goodly’), like getting
the Corinthians to accept Christianity by asking them “to believe ALL things”
and then, when Christianity got Established as the Orthodoxy, changing that bit
of Scripture, taking it out so the infiltration
and subvert policy Paul was following when using it in Christianity’s Struggle
to join in what we might call today ’the Belief Making Industry’. Then the call
was ‘to believe all things”. Later on, as its Stocks improved and their Market
Share expanded, the Church made the shift from Greek Promiscuity to Roman
Monogamy – the one true and universal Church, worshipping the one
true almighty God. In this altered circumstance “Believe all things” had to go.
So it did. But the idea of God being the Creator of The Earth and all that
therein dwells did not and has not died.
Nor should it either – the idea of God, I mean,
the feeling that there is an order to all of the universe and that in
discovering what it is and how it works we can extend and expand our chances
for happiness; this idea does belong with us. It is a true idea. It is just
that by using ‘God’ as the descriptor of it leads to a confusion of tongues, a
hopelessly disparate array of fundamentalisms all asking the single favor from
us, to believe and so to never get to understand the God ‘who’ (never ‘what’)
made it all happen.
The personal pronoun indicates that we imagine
there’s a Person out there tucked away in all the appearances of ‘God’. If that
is so, and there actually be a God who is He and a Goddess who is She, then
whenever they do get discovered I bet they will be the collectivity of the
people who believe and their feelings, thoughts and actions. I’d just rather worship the real thing living
with me, giving praise to the principle of Life she unfolds as I unfold mine –
a consanguinity of purpose, a marriage, an Eternity Relationship and a
description of humanity as ‘a cellular family in molecular motion’. For this
I’m asking that ‘God’ be understood as Energy, and to agree that ‘energy’
describes something existing whether or not we believe it, and that this cannot
be said of ‘God’. For ‘God’ to exist we must believe.
In English there is a ‘lie’ in the middle of’
believe’. The same disclosure cannot happen in other languages, such as the
Spanish “creer”, yet “creo” is often put to the same deceiving purpose.
If a conclusion to this writing can be given,
then it would go something like this: Don’t Believe in Anything unless in Everything.
Why? Because we have put the world into words, some of them being words about
words, others being words about things. The first sort require belief in them
to give them an existence. The second sort don’t because the things to which
the words refer exist whatever word we choose to name them.
