The Republic Of The Social Soul Of Mankind

“The object is not the gratification of fellow-slaves, but the gratification of masters who are supremely good.”

This is a quote from an ancient text whose name need not be a concern of ours here and now.

The meaning of it however, does concern us here.

The meaning is that in the usual course of things, humans are more or less slaves to material existence, with its obvious and simple 'cause-and-effect' style of persuasion onto uncritical minds. Our fellow men and women are also very good at being insistent for the gratifications that come from having those demands fulfilled, that pertain to immediate material causes and their putative effects.

Roman 'Hall of the Philosophers'

This piece cannot speak to a very large percentage of ordinary people because such individual's consciousness is too strongly positioned already within its existing and pre-committed belief systems concerning material causes-and-effects.

“A particular sort of speech inevitably produces conviction in a particular sort of person, and fails to do so in another...” (A quote from the same ancient text).

The ultimate in personal gratification and pleasure comes therefore from a self-indulgence not of purely one-sided feelings in and of themselves alone, but in mutual indulgence of shared pleasures equivalently invested with value among people of equivalent conceptual and emotional standing.

The human social nature is not organised along the lines of a Democracy, nor is it even a Constitutional organisation - it is purely a Republic; there are only a very few elite members who act in harmony with each other, fundamentally because they are all cut from the same silk.

Everyone else flounders along, wondering what 'rule' to obey to make themselves happy within the circle of other individuals they find themselves, largely accidentally in, and with whom they assume happiness and satisfaction is in fact to be found.

Because these assumptions are not correct, humans have invented 'money' as a solvent between all of their conflicting purposes and mechanisms and practical material frictions and inertia. But money itself is simply the fraudulent theft of real satisfaction away from someone else, and from some future or past smooth process of 'Cosmic' or Universal Nature, in order that those who are themselves not in the Universal ruling elite, can have what they are not entitled nor properly used, to having.

And this is of course not an idea which will find root in the minds of idiots. In fact it's not an idea that you will encounter a lot, in the broader world of men and their ideas.

But the practicality of what I am saying is this - you know perfectly well, that in the world today, where any good idea can suddenly be spread like a wildfire around the globe very quickly, it is impossible for anyone who knows where money is or how to get it, to 'tell' too many people, even if they are 'sworn to secrecy(!)' about it. One will tell their best friend, another will try to do some poor unfortunate a favour and yet another will simply hold the secret like a hot potato.

And the next thing you know, in almost no time at all, the whole thing is altered by the fact of too many people knowing about it.

The media resorts to phrases like 'sharp data...' But they don't have anything. Not anything worth knowing.

Please follow in the car of your mind, or else come with me
in mine...

There is no data at all that means anything to someone who wants to make money, or to find quick and easy money, or to even leverage that which they have in order to create more value.

There is only me.

And I am the grey seal. I will teach, but you have to be able to follow.
