The truth of my terming the categories of this blog ‘politics, philosophy and science’ is that one wishes to delineate ones blog on WordPress from those preoccupied by different considerations and as a consequence one needs to let people know what considerations there are in the simple and direct terms of being understood. But ultimately there is complexity and with regard to ‘science’, I’m fascinated by theories and experiment revealing connectivities of experience -what might also be known as entanglement consciousness on an accurate lingual level- and so in that sense I am no less cultural and sentient than I am ‘philosophically’ concerned with what knowing or epistemology actually means. And because I am an iconoclastic and anti-elitist human being and there are elitist establishment dictates imposed upon knowledge classified, knowledge kept secret, knowledge shared and knowledge protected from common usage, it stands to reason that I am engaged intellectually and certainly in a ‘political’ struggle against the rule of obfuscation.

I’ve previously broached human sentience -where ‘sentience’ is nothing more or less than ones ability to absorb sensory information- in the terms of holistic and direct experience by which means any one of us can glean any amount of information and only be limited by memory capacity, the extent to which one can absorb information consciously, subconsciously and unconsciously and by the degree to which one can utilise sensory means innate, independent of ones projection of personality type, behaviour or character. What is implied are the subtle energies characteristic of the organism you are in the cellular and molecular and chromosomal universe  rather than the organism that the applied pseudosciences and ideologies such as psychiatry and psychology make their moneys from. Because the human is an electromagnetic reality first and indivisibly and a personality secondarily, the only means by which he or she may be accessed is the turning off on a consistent basis of the received cultural personality variant and the accession of the unconscious and subconscious state allowing for the subtle energies to take information directly from the entangled reality surrounding and from within ones material form without subjective or half-mind interpretation.

You’re not just you though you be loved or celebrated or lauded, because you are not the half-minded extrapolation of cultural identity foisted or dictated to by the autocracies of civilization and establishment institutional, cultural, quasi-spiritual, anti-intellectual. You are rather a sensory being, a beacon in search of radio frequency, yielding and projecting miniscule amounts of psi information and gleaning information by means of psi modalities and its all there waiting to be accessed once the realisation dawns that to know is the apex of the human consciousness experience. The human brain is three pounds in weight and disproportionately out sized for the relative weight of the human body, so its quite unaccidental that we are sonically imbued with the Hz frequency of this planet and that we are magnetically imbued with North – South direction finding characteristics. So when we think to delineate our interests as I’ve done for the blog in the terms of projecting a general consensus view of my interests, its as well to recollect that we are in fact the most searching and most self damning kind by definition of elitist establishment philosophy. For politics, philosophy and science we may as well begin to consider entanglement, gnosis and empathy.

One news provider, Russia Today -though no less corporate if truth be told- flies in the face of the more press release oriented and typically western news media, which moronic populist messaging system coincidentally refuses to broach any longer the way the NATO air force has been intentionally engrossed in ballistic war crimes over and upon Libya and that the CIA are backing the insurgency having been engaged in the weapons training of rebellion participants with FN rifles prior to the commencement of the “Libyan Spring”. The Canadian journalist Mahdi Nazamroya -a contributor to the renowned and I may say ethically and humanistically concerned www.globalresearch.com globalization site- and his colleague the Frenchman Thierry Meysan are both in desperate straits if not already dead just for doing their reporting job.

It may sound like the wild west for me to put it this way but both journalists have had their lives  threatened by NATO-Rebel “journalists” bearing sniper rifles as if the truth about NATO and the insecure and no longer centrally governed Libyan capitol were in themselves reasons to silence reporters who are not “on-message”, not with the programme stipulated and urged by France, Great Britain and the US whose vested interests are strategic, economic and in no way democratic it appears. But it is not to the detriment of a WordPress blog such as this one that the theory and philosophising attendant to the typical consideration of its thrust should be exposed to the oxygen of its place in the world wide occurence of actual event and thats why we are presently considering ‘Nation and State’ and exposing these to the ‘new enlightenment’ consideration raised in previous posts.

Obviously the individual -unless he is singing the popular song of Qaddafi gone- is at risk in the reality of the Libyan moment whereon the so named Transitional National Council had already, one evening toward the end of March and back down the coast at Benghazi, created a Central Bank to administrate the oil revenues of the captured-surrendered-captured-surrendered and captured oil port of Brega, so where does this anti-individualism leave the Nation and the State? Patently -if there is no patent for manipulating an insurgency for non-Libyan corporate and national and strategic interests perhaps there should be one- the Central Bank of Libya is an act of co-operation between the emergent bureaucracy at the Libyan Transitional National Council, the new State of Libya in effect, and those whose federalism appears to suggest an interest in fossil plenty, regional bulwark and the manipulation of the common desire for liberty of decision making, legislation and self-determination, the actual Libyan nation.

If this essay was a polemic rather than an attempt to resolve the philosophical contradictions inherent between the needs of State and the needs of Nation then I suppose I might well be advocating at this point a prompt response on the part of the real power in Libya, the Nation of ordinary extraordinary people seeking an end to the bureaucratization, coercion, suppression and manipulation of their lives. But I think that there is no prospect of this occurring until such point as the new autocracy, bound up with the federal glue of NATO and the rapine materialism of France, Great Britain and the US, makes itself apparent and gluttonous with respect to the Libyan Nation. Rather then, what epistemological, ethical and metaphysical, not to mention logical and aesthetic, considerations can we make if we wish to broach wisely the future of State and Nation of Libya or anywhere for that matter?

Well, we can take what information is abundant in the instance of transformational and vivid Libya (but any country, nation or state applies really) and we can determine that for Nation but also State to succeed in wisdom requires that the individual as the truly indivisible and sentient part of society, must be elevated to his and her correct position of respect, for we are best of all advanced, individually, nationally and governmentally, where respect is offered, cherished and accepted especially by those whose politicking is too often a practically pornographic pursuit of power -whether legislative, demagogic or elitist- to the abject neglect of representation and of service to the Nation which grants the political individual his or her status or opportunity for the wise conducting of State.

These are the kinder and quite general considerations of Libya. It need hardly be added that Society has to be reckoned into a deeper contemplation of what’s good between peoples and their functionaries, cultural institutions and emphases arising from such civilization as exists anywhere and everywhere. I am fascinated to know what readers consider about Libya and about these contentions and I welcome contact of these considerations. A final thought; rebellion essentially represents a direct and affirmative response to autocracy, a saying “no” to oppression that’s residual to the humanity of our evolutionary state. Given this, I’m going to continue to look at rebellion for its innate human properties so that we can conduct rebellion to good effect and, I’m sure, to the good of that intrinsic human; the egalitarian individual. I would greatly appreciate any co-operation in that contemplation.

Any or all of the above realities constitute or reconstitute physical evidence of ways in which the philosophy of scientific methodology is demonstrably inadequate to comprehend or to provide an explanation as to what’s been happening on Earth for the greater part of human existence. Because of the residual inadequacy of scientific method therefore, is there a way in which the study of knowledge or epistemology can be approached in ways that will not interfere with that most desirable thing; a philosophical programme of encouraging divine humanity toward his or her preferred perfection?

This great question, perhaps the greatest question in the history of humanity, is not in the gift of the determinist to answer although he may, in the instance of this post’s author, speculate somewhat definitively as to the oracular possibility of the human, even though ultimately the determinist is inherently subjective on the points of his or her particular expertise or obsession.

What is preferable to the consensus notion of knowing is a holistic revaluation of what knowledge can be gleaned by the evolving, perhaps mutating, human on behalf of the beneficiaries who will know to appreciate that human divinity is the desirable state in which the community sees an end to the modalities of conformism as these are manifested in the worst elitist establishments spawned by religion, politics and commercialism.

Far and away the greatest disadvantage to the emerging divine human -residual in each human being- is being tied to the ancient establishment consensus into which the human being is projected and compelled by the coercion of his or her fellow to adapt to. Of itself this misfortunate state of affairs is tantamount to a zero mobility concerning the interpretation of sense data whereon epistemology and truth can be rendered known by direct comprehension of perception.

What’s perception? Sense is hearing, seeing, tasting, smelling and touching but it does not presume the non-existence of extra sensory perceptions as these are revealed across a history in which, for example, a certain Polynesian people imbued with additional magnetite can island hop without difficulty, read currents and wave patterns without having to use mechanical navigation devices.

But lets return to determinism. Is oracular knowledge divinity? Well, at the risk of behaving like a sophist kind of determinist, yes it is and no it isn’t. If physicality is materialism and knowledge is light then mind is what serves to exact truth from all the phenomena we sense at the molecular level and which DNA level resonates throughout all the vitality there exists. Because mind and compassion are innate to the principle of any enduring human divinity -there is no allowance for hate or elitism with expansive knowing and sought emotional perfection- a good mind is one device with which to access ones perfection as a knowing and loving organism in search of its perfect development.

What’s good for love and light? Take alone time and quiet time seriously because being void of the elitist instruction we render ourselves independent. Being quiet and silent eventually allows us to meditate effectively to the purpose of sensing more and more. The more we sense the wiser we become. After that, we’re better and kinder to those around us and compassion is the perfect partner of knowing.

The theoretical scientific method is at present and in accordance with my personal perspective the basis of scientism’s philosophical approach to knowledge, epistemology, truth and reality and it may, with some intelligent latitude, be dispassionately described as;

‘the theoretical or modal consideration of field and laboratory data by way of hypotheses determined through the generation of experimental or anecdotal reporting and the subsequent gathering of data where such gathering leads to the revision of theories based on the previously available data.’

This description amounts to, in the author’s admittedly non-methodological opinion, a largely non-definitive guesswork promulgated by ‘specialist’ discipline groupings, whose interest lies in the promotion of a narrow and elitist approach to what may be understood void of truly holistic comprehension as to the great many phenomena and conditions of being we seek to comprehend as humans. According to this discerned perspective, there must at the present point of anti-knowledge amongst humanity be considered the possibility that an especial comprehension of a great many phenomena is made possible by the observer’s ability to absorb information or data by non-methodological means.

So far hardly anything accepted as fact from 2000 years ago is taken for truth at this point in linear and mechanical time while even now Einstein’s light being constant is in the fact of there being in theoretical physics a theory relevant to h and relativity that’s being questioned despite the presumed elegance of the German’s genius. This being true what other immutable laws are erroneous as per scientism’s categorical tendency to theorize in a vacuum? When -if not perhaps by means of noetics- do we get to appreciating the informational entanglement that may more accurately be described in the terms of ‘intuition’, by means of assorted ‘extra-sensory perceptions’, or even through the altered states facilitated by the ingestion of eboga and ayahuasca as referred to in Graham Hancock’s fascinating ‘Supernatural’, which tome to my own line of thinking calls in to question the presumption of Darwin’s theory of evolution as an immutable truth?

Well, in a great number of shamanistic science-art-magic philosophies that may be studied by means of access to the hugely democratizing and usefully informative world wide web, one may eclipse the conventional informational determinism of establishment consensus to the extent that one begins to clear for example, without resorting to corporate palliatives and conventional medicine, the body and mind of ill health and anti-intellectual conditioning, at a minimum. Carcinogens laid to waste and exuded as dank, black vomit in innumerate purges of the physical body? What’s going on?

Well, what I’m inclined to term technological primitivism and anti-knowledge as the corollaries of scientism are not intrinsic knowledge but the intellectually disabled ghosts of directly accessed knowledge, accessed that is by you and I. What the human possesses in his and her selflessness and knowledge mystic is a material, non-material and holistic apparatus with which to divine truth regardless of whether the directly approached truth be categorical and narrow or holistic and gnostic. It may be conveniently reductionist to put it conventionally in light of my original proposition but our human truth of things experienced is that you and I are not borne of scientism or creationism but of sensing and direct engrossment with all aspects of the environment in which we physically, intellectually and compassionately become one with that environment, all of it.

Nothing is where currency, in the form of what were once promissory notes exchangeable for gold, becomes a convenience backed by the shared confidence of debt. Still being reductionist, if as an anti-elitist I feel myself to be especial, I am less valuable than if I accept that nothing is an excellent comprehension from which to perceive everything that can be sensed by a person with the skills and senses to perceive things directly. Is this the same thing as nothing?

Nothing is not ’scientism’, creationism or conservative conformity but may well be the gift of not being a determinist trapped by the intention of anybody else. That stated, intention is nothing if not the modus operandi employed by which elitists and non-elitists or anti-elitists stand against their enemies. If you accept this, one’s intention is not the first or last quality of ones being to be surrendered to ones adversaries, for that self-sabotage leads only to madness and self deception. You have to stand up for everything you imagine to be ‘you’ as your potential but madness and self-deception are well within the mentality of people presently looking at the impoverished nature of , for example, democratic accountability in the Republic of Ireland.

Picture it, here is a majority government made up of independently elected ‘messengers of the people’, Fianna Fail TD’s beneath the party’s discipline and the five or so members of the Green Party elected to the last Dáil, the legislative Irish parliament. Standing alongside the “representative” cadre is a left-hand-doesn’t-know-what-the-right-hand-is-doing civil “service”, labyrinthine, Kafkaesque, materially ’permanent’ and entirely ineffectual for the system of looking after people’s aspiration.

Now, the current absence of three elected messengers of the people in constituencies of the Republic of Ireland; which fact the senior political party deems unnecessary to the smooth running of the “democratic accountability” wherein Fianna Fail remains the senior party in collaboration with, certainly, the senior civil service but also with the tacit approval of the less powerful but in any case dysfunctional civil service, is not the greatest abuse of democracy currently extant.

No, at the risk of sounding too hectoring or demagogic, the greatest abuse of Irish democracy is that the Irish voter was asked to cast his and her vote a second time -having initially rejected, as a majority, the principle of giving control to an unelected EU cadre of establishment elitists- this time in favour of the Lisbon Treaty on the notional but redundant proviso that job creation would be threatened by voting ‘no’. Where are we in that darkness? What I’m describing is an example of the anti-democracy that exists at the core of existing globalization mechanics and you can either choose to accept that manifestation of nothing or you can do something about it while remembering to deal with the consequence of either philosophical position.

What if you want to deal with such nothing directly? As I  prepare to post today a talk item on Newstalk lunchtime news is reflecting the fact that rote learning -which primarily creates secondary level Leaving Certificate students who’ll lose sleep tonight and be just as uncreative tomorrow as they were today- is to the detriment of a thinking society. This is an intelligent perspective owing something I think to Steiner. So heres a thing of value to consider alongside of the independence of mind that I take to be part of an intrinsic human divinity that owes nothing whatever to ‘received wisdom’, a knowledge of nothing and an inquiry into where nothing comes from will be for all those students fractious and awry ahead of elitist or disempowered roles, the deliberations of an inquiring mind or the rock on which intelligent independence perishes.

Get used to nothing in your mind -perhaps through the accession of meditative altered states of consciousness- because your environment, your selflessness and your wisdom as to the nature of nothing are the only protections against those whose job it is to reinforce existing but increasingly redundant autocracies that systematically produce nothing of value at all. Today, a consciousness of nothing is the best protection against the projective influence-seeking elitist, the bombast of coercion and the din of persuasion.

The stone-scored, smashed and marrow-denuded animal bones uncovered by Dr Shannon support, apparently to the satisfaction of all the engrossed anthropologists and archaeologists working at Dikika in Ethiopia as of January this year, the idea of tool use amongst ancestors of a much older vintage than considered previously viable. It’s clearly rather exciting news and a syndicated piece by Ian Sample of the Guardian goes alongside one by the redoubtable Irish Times Science Editor Dick Ahlstrom and a photograph showing a museum visitor regarding the stuffed corpse of Lucy, aged 2.3 million years but looking marvelous.

As imaginative, self aware, molecular and coded beings of personality we are almost effortlessly fascinated with the consideration of our genus’ formative origins and so a humanistic science story free of pharmaceutical, viral and belligerently technological dread that somehow reflects our wonder, is always most welcome. Yet despite the IT and the Guardian and the news and the pause before publication -perhaps a necessary adjunct to securing for the academics involved the next years budget for their deliberate, slow and financially demanding deliberation- I find myself beginning to wonder in connection with this story about the extent to which scientific methodology and the philosophical determinism inherent to it are tenable means of uncovering actual truths that offer certainty.

Whether approached etymologically or ontologically the words that attest to the great discipline that are the notional hallmarks of science -wherein of course science is considered, discipline by isolated discipline, system by system, methodologically irrefutable, to be the study of truth as well as a philosophical construct based on a deliberate approach to registering and classifying inspected phenomena- are in themselves no longer sufficient to carry the considerable payload of meaning necessary to certainty.

Certainty it seems to me is not simply the recording and dissemination of wide knowledge grasped through science philosophy’s logical or reductionist determination and so, when we turn around we find the author Dan Brown in his latest potboiler flagging the meeting place between science and spirituality, mysticism and academic eclat, most commonly referred to as the noetic sciences after the Greek word nous for an approximation in the English;  ‘insight’.

However, words are infrequently the deed and so I will contend with anybody at all, as determinist atheist and anti-elitist believer in the concept of human divinity or knowing, that anything understood with less than a whole mindedness will remain intrinsically flawed because the human minus the holistic possession of his or her entire faculty for reason, objectivity and information retrieval is insufficiently entangled with the environment to sense information, capture information and understand the essence of his or her relationship to the experience of knowing.

In the end it’s hard to look at methodological “scientism” as being anything other than a pecking order within the gift of the political, religious and commercial but always technologically primitivistic elites with the wherewithal to encourage the conformity of view that methodologically stifled science most frequently characterizes.  It’s time to start getting imaginative and creative about the means with which scientific rationalism approaches truth by means of meditation.

Why some Polynesian peoples know how to read the sea’s currents and to navigate innately across vast oceans, comes to mind as one application of human ability less technological and more intrinsic. Some of the more esoteric features of human form are to a great extent questionable -its up to you to decide if ‘design’ as per evolutionary or religious models applies because I’m personally doubtful of the ‘design’ paradigm whether human ‘design’ is expressed technologically, scientifically or religiously- to the ‘received’ array of deterministic human philosophies so far designed to classify knowledge and thereby produce functional summations attesting to the narrow and always malleable theories of everything posited by establishment.

That stated, I think that some general observations by means of truth seeking are possible -I’m obliged by reason to disdain the commercial new age vacuity for its unhelpful avoidance of any meaningful epistemology less because epistemology is a pejorative anti-intellectualism in the hands of typically overbearing intellectual elites than because new age commercialism is most often a projection of the egotistical personality- so that’s what I thought might be usefully broached around or within this particular forum.

Some questions arise plainly from a personal examination and discourse; what is the Earth’s radio frequency; its signature in the solar system, and does that relate to the human and the quiet functioning of the electromagnetic brainpan and consciousness? Is the mind and perhaps the pineal gland itself the ‘soul’ of the brain, and if that’s accurate once you’ve meditated to dialogue with its functioning, what then are the intelligences of empathy and compassion?

What is human intuition, what is imagination composed of, why is it possible for the human to be telekinetic, electromagnetic, empathic and psychic, to be able to ‘know’ beyond or even without the accepted five senses? These are the kinds of questions that people increasingly come to consider in the light of the ancient regimes being revealed or falling apart before their eyes and such thinking work (or ‘metaphysics’ to paraphrase Aristotle in the English) and divining or knowing of truth emerges in their wake as surely the consideration of the sensing individual rather than the abstract structures and institutions of bureaucratic hierarchy and consensus ideologies’. Such structures inevitably rely in the present epoch upon an elitist technological manipulation of ‘spheres of influence’.

Given these reasoned positions we can ask of truth, i.e. of reality made evident, and with innate confidence, whether we are only personality in thrall to ego and id projection as per the most typical personality cults? We can ask if we are instead mobile electromagnetic beacons in constant search of signal, trying to find our place in the material and the non-material ‘landscapes’ of individually and directly sensed insight and begin moving toward that more constant paradigm, can’t we?

This means that I want to advance here a better comprehension of the depth of humanity’s collective sublimation beneath institutions politically legislative, creedally bigoted, judicially pinioned, resource moribund and philosophically stunted. Housekeeping first. I see from regarding the beautiful and handsome wordpress site that I’m in the right place to explore and conjecture as to what the things are that might address the presently quite miserable condition of life, truth and self realisation.

It may be of interest or it may not but I’m maintaining a facebook page in my given name which is Frank Hanover and engaged within that forum in an ongoing dialogue with my cousin whose name is also Frank Hanover; a Catholic New Yorker and an American patriot, and his friend Doug Long who is no less votive about God and the US. As a committed, actually determinist, atheist -as well as a man who questions the distinction between state, nation and cultural emphases- I’m determined upon having as direct an experience of truth as possible for nothing seems more redundant than ‘received’ wisdom.

It may seem that if one is averse to ‘received’ wisdom that one shouldn’t be a determinist atheist but instead allow for what may be perceived as the distance between philosophy and action. However, I’m taking what seems to me to be a rational and somewhat holistic position between rendering ones mind, ethic and intelligence to the instruction of bureaucratic cadres and instead advancing the conscionable possibility that a personality is intended for composing itself through comprehension and conscience, love and consciousness.

To whit, I’ve recently watched a conversation on camera in a show entitled ‘Question Everything’ which can be viewed at the ‘Question Everything’ website, between a former CNN journalist/broadcaster, Regina Meredith, and an extraordinary thinker, James Barrett, whose book ‘The Silent Gospel’ quite brilliantly draws a line between what might be termed compassionate intelligence and the sensing consciousness of humanity. I mention the show and the book in the consideration that people might look at or read either communication as information but also glean their own interpretation rather than come around to a critically disseminated view.

As a personal consideration it seems to me that the notion of an especial ‘human divinity’ void of guy-in-the-sky fundamentalism is a demonstrable and practical possibility. If we have compassion and a large questioning brain filled with electromagnetic intuition and creative imagination as seems entirely evident, and because those realities are in us because they’re innate, then we should access them with a will. No creed that I’ve studied in any great detail has adequately celebrated -much less advanced- these gifts of especially humanistic character even though this is a time when such creativity of vision and application is greatly needed. We have to get to the non-scientism and non-creationism of a more holistic examination -I’m unsure if this is an implicit reference to the so named Noetic sciences beloved of Dan Brown or an advancement in the awareness of the so named study of political and psychopathic evil, Ponerology, but lets examine this as we go- and come to understanding, for example, what ’junk DNA’ is actually doing.

If we are ‘for’ anything then perhaps the contention that a move toward accessing the entirety of our composition is the least thing we owe to the future wellbeing of our progeny and I’m in favour of that as a principal means of being in the consciousness of now, the vital moment. I’m fascinated to know what you think.
