 Dear fellow
humans, dear fellow humanists yesterday I
was told , that St. Petersburg once was meant to be
the door to Europe - after my first exchange of
ideas with members of the Coalition Oxana Bourkina,
Irina Tschernysheva, Vladimir Bogomolov, Sergej
Semenov, Konstantin Kondratjev, Dimitry Ivanov, I
have the impression St. Petersburg might become the
door to a new world, to a humanist, peaceful and
just world I am honored
to be invited to this conference. My contribution
is intended to support its noble goal which in my
opinion is vital for global survival of
humanity. We are here
to share ideas about how to transform the current
global social decline into a humanist social and
ecological balance of societies in
peace. As the roots
of current degeneration of hope are most complex we
also need complex answers on how to stop man made
progress towards an apocalyptic disaster and on how
to re-route our human potentials.The system of
   capitalist patriarchate will terminate itself naturally by
   burning life into money, thus generating destructive power.
   The resulting necessary death toll always gets higher in the
   run of history. Today it reaches a global dimension. The
   suffering caused by our history of passion is being
   presented to the public to be without alternative,
   Christianity even glorifies it. Compassionate
   conservatism" is the theme of George W. Bush and his
   neo-feudal-conservative international gang of gravediggers.
   Compassionately they all create suffering. Nothing they have
   in common with Life. For thousands of years
   we live within a bloody and lethal revolution of the demon
   against Life. We have to terminate this situation if we
   really want to survive. A single new Ché Guevara will
   not be enough or sufficient - what we need is a world-wide
   network of really conservatives of Life", of empathic
   incorruptibles whose brains and hearts beat for eco-social
   justice, for peace inside of us and in the world. We have to re-shape
   our world-views according to natural reality. Violation of
   nature and environment because of mental fantasies has to be
   terminated for ever. Common sense and sound sympathy are the
   central clues to peace - purpose and destination of human
   life.  My vision I call
   Secular Spirituality", meaning sustainable
   mentality, authenticity, the goal of human emancipation, a
   way of thinking - which is aware of everything looking
   historically backwards and at the same time into the future,
   a mental and spiritual flexibility, the potentiality towards
   a transcendent world view, which motivates to act for the
   benefit of global life. I clarify this vision in detail and
   I need your help if you agree to spread the message as broad
   as possible. I am going to talk to
   you about:  TRANSPARENCY &
   TRANSCENDENCE, GOLDEN KEYS TO PEACE:  - my lecture is
   divided in 3 parts - I will start with the  Cosmic Dimensions
   and Relations as they determine the order of Nature and
   Life.  In the second part I
   will talk about the  Relation between
   Natural Order and Cultural Order - as Culture is meant to be
   the Guarantor for Creative Thought and Action.
    In the third part we
   will deal with the question:  What are the mental
   prerequisites to maintain a Creative Culture? How to
   preserve the fundaments of Life which are nothing but a Loan
   free of charge provided by GAIA - the dynamical Order of
   Nature We shall find out
   about the  Original Path of
   Life and the historically produced Wrong Track,
    we shall understand
   that we always have a  Choice between
   Orientation and Misdirection, between Original and
   Substitutes. It is a tiny switch
   only, an idea at the decisive place that decides about
   heaven or hell. To become aware of it, may change the
   world. I will begin with a
   description of the Cosmic Dimension of GAIA'S Relations
   because they determine the order of Nature. (By GAIA I refer
   to the theory of James Lovelock)   I - Periodic
   and lawful dynamics and interaction of cosmic radiation on
   our precious little planet describe a floating fundamental
   vibration. In its temporal and spatial expansion the energy
   of this creative oscillation" (see also:
   Morpho-Genetical Field, Sheldrake; Orgone Field, Reich;
   Gravitation, Global Scaling) contains information of cosmic
   order [0]. Spirit and character of this information
   is of energetic, material and also organizing nature, which
   is infinite; its source is the unfathomable, beyond
   imagination: chaos, the chance for coincidence. We investigate the
   energetic and material characteristics of all available
   (in-)formation of our habitat in their scientific chemical,
   physical and philosophical dimensions. We discover their
   family relations. So far, however, we ignore their
   connection to the origin of life on earth, because we
   consider ourselves to be outside of what happens, beyond any
   responsibility. Anthropocentrically arrogant we put
   ourselves at risk to get lost in never ending ramifications
   of causalities. Only the consequences of this confusion will
   force us to realize life as a specific manifestation of
   cosmic information". As long as we manipulate
   information of our habitat, we inevitably run the risk to be
   caught by the effects of such wrongdoing. It seems that just
   before the consequence of planetary death we will begin to
   recognize us as authors of what happens. Only then we
   understand ourselves in the microcosm of life as an answer
   to the creative and vitalizing" call from the
   macrocosmic order of universe and from then on we resonantly
   and responsibly will safeguard a healthy and creative future
   by open and unadulterated communication. Body and structure of
   life will appear to us as the biological manifestation of an
   organizing principle, which radiates informatively from
   cybernetic interaction of cosmos and which in the genetic
   matter awakes to life.  We experience spirit
   and consciousness as the psychological manifestation of the
   same organizing principle. We recognize consciousness and
   structure, body and spirit as mutually complementing
   manifestations of the same generating pattern of
   organization. This boundless matrix by religions is being
   called Love, its source and reason is being called God.
    We can imagine the
   (bio)-generating organizing pattern to be a morpho- or
   psychogenetic space, field or area, the creative power of
   which arises out of interaction of cosmic oscillations
   jointly together with all vibrations of terrestrial life.
    Structure and matter
   in this area appear to be of slow dynamics of long-term
   periodical processes, whereas function of structure as well
   as life itself can be seen as a faster and rapid dynamics of
   shorter processes. Existence nowhere is static, it is
   boundlessly" dynamic. Nature and life co-develop and
   in spreading diversity create potentialities and
   abilities. Potentiality
   towards Growing Diversity Cosmic modulations
   ensure an organizing activity in the entire universe. While
   in physics the organizing activity of resonance is well
   known in its fundamental quality concerning the relationship
   of mass and energy, also philosophically we can realize now
   life to be the manifestation of resonance phenomena.
   Resonant communication organizes atoms to molecules and
   further on to the DNA. From matter (mater i.e.!) originates
   life. DNA evolves the body and influences further
   organization of the genome by bodily feedback effects. Life
   is not dependent on genetic accidents only, it regulates
   itself and by evolution of sexual reproduction it creates
   another steep increase of further possibilities.  Life represents
   function and organization of physical, emotional, mental and
   spiritual dimensions. Recognizing and understanding of this
   function and organization is consciousness. Many people
   hastily confound exclusively seized rational functions and
   ideas with a general consciousness. They confound prejudice
   and their subjectively compiled reality" with a
   comprehensive objective reality. Also they believe to be
   separated individuals, isolated Egos or Selves". To
   the extent we consider body and spirit to be separate and
   thus separate ourselves from life around us by imagination
   only, we restrict our consciousness by constructing mental
   barriers and virtual filters and consequently obstruct
   experience of unity. Imprisoned in the illusion of being
   separated from life, we start activities to search for
   reconciliation and satisfaction, by ways which harm us and
   others. We get involved in evaluations, ideologies and
   religious beliefs, the contradictory forces of which oppose
   resonance to the basic creative oscillation. They do not
   only obstruct any fruitful development but even produce
   unhealthy effects.  By means of wise
   disciplines such as meditation or by the experience of life
   crises the restricting mental walls of prison occasionally
   dissolve. Like dreaming a universal consciousness can
   develop out of individual consciousness. Spiritual
   consciousness is characterised by understanding of
   borderline experiences and dissolutions of mental barriers.
   Dream- and trance-experiences are the foundations of
   religious mysticism. Via newly paved cerebral paths they
   lead life to a transpersonal reality, to the identity of
   individual life and nature, to harmony of life with the
   cosmic creative vibration, to undisturbed interconnectedness
   of being. Experience of the
   supporting transpersonal reality of life in dream, trance or
   meditation has soothing and satisfying effects on emotion as
   well as on intellect and liberates logic to the
   coincidental, unpredictable and new: Psyche develops a
   healing spirit, which by personal finding of rightful
   orientation also leads to a social stabilization of
   humankind within nature.   II - The second
   part of this lecture deals with the relation between Natural
   Order and Cultural Order - Culture should be perceived and
   lived as a Guarantor for Creative Thought and
   Action If culture is meant to
   be conservative and creative it has to foster conscious
   understanding, perception and feeling of natural laws and
   has to train society to respect them. Development goal of
   learning by joy and pain, by success and error is the
   development of individual maturity which voluntarily and
   because of understanding limits the wide range of initially
   random objectives of intention to those which are creative
   only. Effects of life have to support the community of life.
   All over the globe human potentials should serve for life.
    Within the realm of
   plants this is assured, without deviation, directly by the
   genome via reflex-alike reactions of the individual plant in
   relation to plant community. Within the animal kingdom we
   find additional help by the instinct. Instinct already is
   dependent on learning a behaviour, and is dependent on
   continuity and compatibility not only of genes, the engines
   of physical development and reproduction, but also of
   traditions, the guarantors and expressions of spiritual
   reproduction, of mental and cultural passing on of life and
   its laws. Amazingly individual ontogenesis of life rapidly
   repeats entire phylogenesis from the very beginning of life
   till present, human ontogenesis in the motherly womb is no
   exception. After being born individual mental development is
   completely dependent on a cultural environment which might
   either be open-minded and mentally productive, curious and
   loving, encouraging findings beyond current understanding
   and for the benefit of the respective social body in toto.
   Or, in a contrasting cultural environment individual mental
   development might be dogmatically limited and
   narrow-mindedly focussed on certain interests to intimidate
   and violently protect a given situation for the sake of
   elites only. Because of our freedom
   of intentions, the freedom to think and act whatever we
   want, we are dependent on authentic tradition of the law of
   life which is known since times immemorial. Disturbances of
   this tradition which normally is maintained by culture, or
   even obsessive orientations towards any other direction run
   the risk of complex threats - dangers which we are being
   confronted with. The reasons we want to discuss
   here. How did the threats of
   industrially induced changes and deterioration of climate,
   food, social relations arise? How, apart from maintaining
   common good with the result of a fruitful future, could the
   symptoms of aberration develop like greed for profit, thirst
   for power and all-over relationships which appear to be
   nothing but autistic (MCS, Mental Confusion Syndrome
   [1])? How could violence against life develop a
   dimension which threatens future? In contrast to human
   society, nature does not calculate murder for the sake of
   secondary interests like wealth or power. Cynicism is a
   human invention too. Behind an alleged cruelty of nature is
   hidden an order for the well-being of the global whole.
   Entire nature would be condemned to death, if the
   participants would not follow the inherent and fundamental
   laws which feed natural balances. Culture looses its
   Creative quality by The Patriarchal Counter-Strategy of
   Replacement  To reach a satisfying
   answer for all just mentioned questions we can rely on
   results and findings of scientific research of patriarchy
   and matriarchy which transcend conventional categories of
   religion, philosophy, biology, ethnology, economy, politics
   an other sciences" and therefore have a deeper"
   focus. To avoid any misunderstanding from the very beginning
   we have to understand, that initially matriarchy or
   patriarchy have nothing in common with domination, neither
   by men nor by women. The stem arché links to in
   the beginning" or stemming from" (from Greek archaios
   >originally, initially<). The term matriarchy
   therefore refers to in the beginning the mother", life
   stems from the mother, from the uterus. At this point it is
   quite helpful to stop, to remember basics of lessons in
   biology and to realize how close the female is to the
   asexual original cell and what a tiny but all the same
   necessary part the evolutionary newly split off male
   represents. Female and male germ cell are on a scale of
   200,000 to 1! Going back to our etymological line of thought
   we likewise can link the term patriarchy to the assertion
   in the beginning the father", life stems from the
   father, as to say from a male uterus. Beyond smiling this
   idea in connection with the related world view asks for a
   more serious reaction. The analysis of
   patriarchy reveals that it changed the tradition of laws of
   life known since times immemorial with the intention to
   abolish matriarchy violently. Natural being became being
   dominated. Natural matriarchal order within the original
   cosmic order of life became an order of domination, of
   subordination of life to secondary goals. The starting point
   of patriarchal degeneration" and of the attack of
   patriarchy against natural order goes back 5,000 years and
   is being related to migrations which had been forced by
   geological catastrophes or climate changes and which
   resulted in alterations of habits in matriarchal societies
   [2]. We understand that stressful apocalyptic
   periods might lead to neglect life-maintaining traditions,
   customs and relations such as to carry new-borns generally
   close to the body, and that over generations they even might
   be forgotten. New rites, social manners and cultures replace
   the old ones - not all of them, fortunately, otherwise there
   would no longer be life. Forgetting and
   interruption of essential rites of matriarchal culture due
   to those exceptional situations prepared people to open
   their minds for orientations different from the First
   Guiding Spirit and replace it and which independently from
   long-term effects are implemented and maintained by force.
   Proven recipes of life regarding agriculture and soil
   management, health and sexuality, essential basics of life
   for daily use, habits and inter-relational customs,
   save-guarding exercises of meditation, trance,
   concentration, connecting to the essential, the inner- and
   simultaneously outer-most, unifying rites which have been
   part of the ever living matriarchal liturgy since times
   immemorial and which are still being practiced all over the
   world, extensively have been forced into the back- and
   underground by a patriarchal outline of life and world view.
   Matriarchal liturgies enabled holistic experience of
   transcendent truth in harmony with natural law. Complying
   with the necessities of natural community they ensure
   satisfaction of all needs; until today they serve life
   deeply satisfying and pacifying - although they are not at
   all honoured any more by the ruling systems.  The new ideas are
   rooted in metaphysics and demand from people to believe
   dogmatically in matters which are beyond physical law and
   natural possibility. Even today fundamentalist religion asks
   from people to believe in things which are beyond physical
   reality and therefore perverted. The decisive and most
   effective alteration of the world view was the one which
   gave name to patriarchy": people were made to believe
   that life really would stem as a matter of fact from the
   male principle and no longer from the female as it had been
   natural knowledge since times immemorial. The result of this
   perversion into the contrary is a fundamental disregard of
   nature. Obsessed by the idea, to replace nature by a
   technically constructed system of higher order, nature and
   life from now on only serve as commodities, as objects and
   elements which have to be altered, improved, defeated,
   replaced, consumed and which have to serve any nonsense of
   an imagined better world". Metaphysics and the
   liturgies of patriarchy which are rooted in it served and
   still serve as a replacement for the safe-guarding and
   unifying transcendental truth of nature, the
   interconnectedness of being, the spiritual heart of
   matriarchy, the source and loving vitality which we long
   for, on which we depend inevitably and naturally, on which
   we live. Without exception we stem from this truth which
   henceforth patriarchy strives to deny, to demonize, to
   persecute, to destroy and to replace it by its technology.
   According to this misleading tradition Pharaoh Echnaton
   already more than 3,000 years ago made himself painted as a
   pregnant" man, an illusion which bears the idea of a
   male god. The hoax to replace
   natural transcendental truth of mysticism by an imagined
   metaphysics beyond natural law and truth [2a] - so
   to speak by delusion - fatally results in exaggerated
   motivation and artificial dependencies which are typical for
   the patriarchal system and which are used and maintained by
   it. Greed for profit and craving for power are being fuelled
   by lack of deep satisfaction which is immanent to
   patriarchal conditions. Frustration and emotional deficits
   become the ever lasting drives for diverse addictions and
   result in the omnipresent and ever growing violence, the
   trademark" and identity of patriarchy. Looting war
   lords become heroes of history, cold-blooded extermination
   of native populations turns to be the basement for mission
   and civilization, merciless slavery, resolute degradation of
   women and ruthless exploitation of natural resources become
   the engine of industrialization and progress". The
   bludgeon of biblical Cain mutates into the iron fist of
   humanitarian" strategists of mmafiacs - of media,
   military, administrative financial, fundamentalist,
   industrial and academic complexes. Cynicism which shows up
   in the attempt to cover the traces of destruction of
   physical as well as of cultural fundaments of life by a
   superstructure of believe in supposed progress of history
   and technology is to fail - although many people still would
   tend to protest here because they became accustomed to the
   omnipresent violence, threats and dangers of supposed
   progress by hundreds of years [3]. If we do not want to
   lock out an authentic view on the conditions we have to face
   reality. As an appropriate and logical consequence to
   freedom of intentions nature has provided for an extensive
   responsibility which in its safe-guarding dimension still is
   alien to patriarchal way of understanding. It is the tragedy
   of the maturing psyche under patriarchal conditions, that it
   is ready to defend a standard, the quality of which it has
   not yet learned to question. The pending step of maturing
   towards consciously accepting and adopting responsibility is
   the decisive step towards autonomy. Any way of living we are
   held responsible for, be it individually or socially - also
   in the dimension of history. This is the true meaning of
   karma. The lawful regularity of natural counter-balance to
   the effects of interference with the order of life and
   nature is based on the fact, that any alteration of this
   order results in reciprocal proportional and complementary
   reactions. Due to this law and regularity there is a common
   thought between quantum-physics, psycho-neurology and
   philosophy concerning the topic freedom". Freedom
   contains the natural destination to contribute to the
   freedom of all partners. Any disturbance of this destination
   results in lawful counter-balancing. At any time we at least
   have two options to learn from history: On the one hand we
   can consider the real relations and needs by means of the
   remaining matriarchal virtues like genuineness, frankness
   and inclination towards the social, or on the other hand, we
   may wait for diseases, catastrophes and other
   social-ecological regulations which are meant to reduce or
   even eliminate us in case we do not learn our lesson from
   history in time. We are free to decide. Urgently necessary
   in order to regain real creative power therefore is a
   decision based on freedom of options - it is part of human
   autonomy to decide between peace and war. If we really want to
   overcome violence and other effects of current world order
   we just need to become receptive again for the ancient and
   safe-guarding traditions of personal experienced and
   socially proven realities and knowledge of basic needs by
   letting go unreal metaphysics like for example believing in
   boundless economic growth and stop fuelling destructive
   growth with the energy of our lives. A new consciousness is
   going to be the ancient ever living consciousness of wisdom
   which in natural maintenance and jointly use differs from
   the metaphysically shaped consciousness of market and
   consumerism in modern age and which is responsible for
   artificial death, artificial wealth (money) und the
   destruction of environment.  Revival of archaic
   matriarchal traditions of the First Guiding Spirit, which,
   although having been nearly exterminated, even under
   patriarchal conditions of nihilism, modern technology and
   ambience still enables human life, is the chance at present
   and for all future. We have to hurry up and take the chance
   because seducing profit expectations concerning genetic and
   nuclear engineering and nano-technology a.o. will finally
   cost our life, if we tolerate to let them alter the elements
   of life irrevocably. Patriarchal
   philistinism and culture of war cannot be changed, it only
   can be terminated. Patriarchal world view is an illusion, a
   delusion which might cost the life on earth. This delusion
   comes like a conspiracy, it appears to be a planned project
   because there are people linked to it who since ages
   dogmatically try to solidify it by religion and science. If,
   however, people promote this delusion against global good
   and their better judgement for the sake of exclusive
   interests, then we face nothing but a conspiracy of death,
   the replacement project for life. As long as people do not
   take notice of the inner-most setting of the course between
   life and its replacement the patriarchal project just keeps
   on running. Still, it is doomed to failure, ending up in
   murder and suicide, no future. There are enough specific
   symptoms and we experience how war on terror", by the
   US-administration supposed to continue for years and
   directed against any threats to US supremacy, in association
   with the world economic order threatens humanity already by
   destruction of nature, by consumption of resources, by
   ignoring basic rights and dignity of the peoples in the
   global south" and onwards to the centre by cutting
   back civil rights and by cuts of social standards and
   international law as well. Patriarchal way of thinking does
   not know any alternative to the infernal trip of the
   «Golden Horde» (the neocons) into the hereafter
   (Carl Amery, [4]). Whenever possible
   cultural creative people address these destructive
   relations. As far they can, they terminate to fuel
   patriarchal structures and institutions with their energy of
   life but look for and vitalize new matriarchal ways of
   organizing. «Many alternative
   movements in the whole world are already in this process,
   for historical reasons most of them in the global south and
   most of them guided by women. This is the case because the
   south and women have and had to bear the responsibility and
   most of the negative consequences of patriarchy and
   especially capitalist patriarchy. This is why they are on
   the front of the new movements. Additionally, for women it
   is still much easier to remember matriarchal society,
   culture and gift-giving, because the matriarchal rests have
   mostly been maintained by them. The way into a
   post-patriarchal society, therefore, is much more logical
   and visible for women than for men. The thinking, acting and
   feeling of women, especially of poor women in the south,
   often shows a high level of dissidence with western
   globalization and culture. They are decided to defend life
   on the "two fronts" of the conflict: against the war system
   of capitalist patriarchy and in favour of a new society
   (Bennholdt-Thomsen et. al 2001, Werlhof 1985, 1991, 1996. At
   the University of Innsbruck a new international research
   project is planned, the title of which is "On the way to a
   new civilization?" In this research project current
   alternative movements worldwide will be
   compared). Movements that are
   either active on only one of the "two fronts" we are facing
   today, or that do not address to each of the most important
   aspects and dimensions of life under patriarchal attack, are
   stepping into crisis, sooner or later. This is still the
   case with many movements in the north and of those
   traditionally guided by man. It seems as if a
   larger and deeper movement in the north will only be
   possible when the illusions to move upward within the system
   have been lost and the daily conditions of life have
   worsened further. But in the meantime extremists of the far
   right and "religious" fundamentalists everywhere are
   preparing their field of action, too.» (Quotation:
   Claudia von Werlhof, Capitalist Patriarchy and the Struggle
   for a Deep' Alternative, unpublished
   [5])   III - The third
   and final part is intended to serve as kind of recipe to
   maintain culture by orientation towards reality - and by
   jointly fostering and celebrating the global orientation
   towards interconnectedness of being, the fundaments of life
   and their relations, which are given to all of us as a loan
   by GAIA free of charge - Our ideas might be
   keys to hell or - to paradise Let us have a closer
   look at illusions and their destructive suggestive
   potential: Illusions associated
   with political-religious" fundamentalisms are the very
   opponents which block the gates to paradise. Alternative
   movements have to face these opponents if they want to
   prevail. A prerequisite therefore is to understand and
   accept the opponents. This again is a challenge for
   everybody, the crunch has come": We are to face our
   personal beliefs, what do we really want? We have to reverse
   the hoax of patriarchy, this dirty trick and obvious
   mistake. We have to reveal the mystery of faith in the
   metaphysical guidelines of patriarchy" to be nothing but a
   trap! We have to switch our brains from belief in progress,
   from the delusions of feasibility and other illusions back
   to the First Guiding Spirit towards interdependent
   development, responsible and considerate behaviour and to
   visions of universal fortune. Experience and studies of the
   Hungarian neurologist Franz Andreas Völgyesi from the
   schooling of Iwan Petrowitsch Pawlow will give specific
   hints how mental switches might be handled
   [6]. May I quote from your
   compatriot Pawlow: «Considering the
   large and comprehensive area and the rich, internal content
   of words it is only natural that by help of suggestion the
   possibility exists with hypnotized people to cause any of
   those reactions which potentially exist in connection with
   their entire outside and interior world». Völgyesi writes:
   «Spoken or written word contains suggestive power and
   constitutes a conditioned stimulus just like all other
   conditioned stimuli (warmth, cold, light, gravitation). What
   is more: its effect is particularly diverse. In terms of
   quality as well as quantity the potential of language to
   influence people far exceeds that of any other conditioned
   stimulus. This is because words are connected with any and
   all stimuli (both inner and outer) which have ever been able
   to enter the various stations of the cerebral cortex in the
   course of a life-time. Words are able to signalise and
   represent any other active stimulus without exception; and
   from this it follows that words can evoke any reactions of
   the organism which any other stimulus could ever produce.
   There is not a single bodily function, nor any ever so much
   hidden reaction of our organism - and be it a hormonal or
   psycho-energetic process - which could escape the influence
   of verbal information.» From this
   understanding which is extensively being made use of by
   advertising industry and other manipulators of human
   intentions" (like todays Public Awareness Management)
   compellingly results to raise the question: Which
   suggestions do support life and which serve very different
   interests? The general question arises about compatibility
   of information with natural conditions and guidelines for
   health of an organism, individually as well as socially. The
   extent to which mental information is compatible with the
   creative potential of nature will determine its
   physiological effect on the basis of education and cultural
   conditioning; if it is incompatible, the effect will be
   pathological, (i.e. will cause sickness). Hence the decisive
   switch" has shown up: If we have faith in illusions -
   no matter of which kind and origin -, we are being led
   astray even by good" motivation - and the result
   inevitably will be the real loss of reality", which
   fatally is going to be counter-balanced by a substitute. The
   psycho-analyst C.G. Jung spoke about make" when
   considering fate" to say: we sow the wind and reap the
   whirlwind [7]. Patriarchal temptation to expel
   paradise from the heads of mankind lawfully results in
   devastation of earth, in hell. Demonizing, persecution and
   termination of the First Guiding Spirit" dismiss the
   entire creative power of the people affected from service to
   life and subordinate it to the service to any interests of
   patriarchy. Or as US philosopher
   John McMurtry says: «What goes against the grain of
   conditioning is experienced as not credible, or as a hostile
   act.»  That is why we need
   to give up and let go many habitual dear" ideas
   because they are unable to cope with Life, that is why we
   need a re-confirmation and preservation of the First
   Guiding Spirit" - that is why we need a REFORMATION of our
   mental states, of our world views, - what we need is a new
   religious reformation, a new phase of enlightenment! We need
   a radical re-version of a perverted parasitic society and
   mankind!" The two fronts"
   of our quarrel, the one against the war-system of patriarchy
   and the other for a new society have a common source of
   inspiration, they have common ground. This is most important
   to acknowledge, to consider and to be aware of in order to
   avoid frictional losses in the struggle of the diverse
   alternative movements. People who subjectively consider
   themselves to be alternatives", however, meet the
   objective standard only when they have reached the above
   mentioned common ground. Only then they scoop from a common
   source of inspiration. Only if they make their own limiting
   shaping by religious or political traditions transparent and
   only if they really transcend them they are able to dedicate
   freedom of intentions consciously to goals which are really
   chosen by themselves and not by others. The normative power
   of reality unfortunately still is not fuelled sufficiently
   by factual conditions, otherwise we already would have
   changed those conditions since long, but is determined by
   limitation and restriction of thought and perception given
   by the respective mental superstructure. The system-immanent
   mistake correction postulated by Karl Popper only works if
   the ruling" system generally allows such corrections
   from inside [8]. We are to feel the effects of our
   mistakes and errors all the time, but we do not take them
   seriously enough. Frequently we do not perceive them at all
   if the detectors of perception are manipulated by further
   interests. This shows why patriarchy despite of all its self
   made and obvious disadvantages was able to prevail against
   natural advantages of matriarchy. The media - books,
   newspapers, radio and television are our sensitive organs to
   the global world. As long as our tele-perception, our
   perception from far away is not served by authentic
   information we can wait for ages for collective reactions of
   behaviour which approach global threats by appropriate
   means. Although the increasing threats are openly seen, we
   stare at them in a transfixed way or react mindlessly in
   blatant stupidity not at all or not appropriately. This
   shows why globalisation deteriorates conditions for life as
   well as the perspective for the future while most people
   keep on daydreaming and do not stop this degenerating
   development by growing and continuous protests of increasing
   numbers of dissidents. Although the majority of global
   threats is self-made, they are being transmitted to be
   natural", fatal", god's punishment" - or
   plainly without alternative. Since long we should
   have realized that we are deprived of our potentials for
   self-healing and our abilities to solve problems from two
   sides: on the one hand systematic miss- and
   wrong-information from global outskirts and insufficient
   world-views inside of our heads lead us astray and blind our
   spirit on the other. This explains why even within the
   alternative movements some wings who still are dogmatic and
   infected by patrism rather tend to be taken apart and
   brought up against each other than being bound to ensure
   their chances for success by creating synergies. Let us
   bring to public mind the adulteration of our senses by
   politically and religiously falsified information. Let us
   boycott religious and secular information-services which
   push forward miss- or false-information on behalf of
   secondary interests to produce all those reactions and
   perceptions within global public which are designed for
   powerful and financially rich clients by strategists who are
   nothing but hostile to life. Let us create synergies by
   cleaning up and re-organizing our mental foundations! Let us
   foster attempts to a new spirituality, which does not get
   lost in exclusive esotericism but influences public
   politics. Let us foster fresh attempts of a new
   religiousness: not to satisfy mental or clerical elites by
   seduction of masses but to safeguard peace on earth. Exactly
   into the same direction aim the attempts of Rabbi Michael
   Lerner or of Starhawk and other kindred spirits [9].
   Task of a secular spirituality is the reformation of our
   mental foundations. It is to facilitate transparency and to
   encourage people to transcend limits within their heads
   which only have been brought up for the tempting purposes of
   secondary interests. Comprehensively understood secular
   spirituality and religiousness in resonance with holistic
   and authentic perception of reality create a healthy common
   sense and help to change and adjust those mindsets which
   still keep us from reacting rightfully to the local effects
   of globally organized injustice and misery. Especially
   addressed are people with decisive functional positions in
   society: politicians, clergy, lawyers, economists,
   journalists, the military and the police. Perception of
   urgency and overwhelming dimension of the global state of
   distress confronts everybody without any exception
   automatically with the moral imperative to naturally break
   any laws and customs which are hostile to life. The courage
   of convictions which are based on love for life (biophelia,
   Erich Fromm [10]) motivates to set a new course and
   definitely leave behind patriarchal and insane cravings
   (necrophelia, Erich Fromm). Global economy no longer will be
   based on the stupid and destructive destination of
   profit that counts in numbers". A destination which
   inevitably results in coercion to consume and to ruin
   ecological foundations and resources. We, the cultural
   creative peoples of the world will make global economy to
   secure necessary needs of life, to maintain its basic
   foundations and to facilitate an overall communication and
   exchange for the common benefit of global life. The profit
   out of such an approach will be doublefold: firstly there
   will be meaningful labour for everybody, and secondly we
   will gain real satisfaction of individual and local needs
   which in return will automatically result in emotional
   balance of people which is the foundation for global
   peace. A clear sight on
   the relations of reality discloses for everybody low cost
   solutions like: - Natural diversity is
   maintained and even growing, if we do not artificially
   produce scarcity and want - Liberal and
   supportive economic life develops, if we neither implement
   protective duties", nor create protectorates"
   and, if we generally respect the
   polluter-pays-principle. - Solidarity works by
   itself, if we do not fuel xenophobia, racism, egoism and
   other crimes against common good - Peace is, if we do
   not make war - Common sense
   develops, as soon as we respect the common principles of
   life. - Experience of love
   by spreading of sympathy results in global banning of misery
   and desperation, if we only let it happen Visions of GAIA in all
   her glory, warmth, love, caring and safety result in a
   profound perception of deep peace and security and dissolve
   the well known fears which had been abused by patriarchy.
   From emotional resonance" with the creative
   oscillation we described at the beginning, grow strength and
   authority. Fearless mental setting of the course towards the
   First Orientation and Original Sense of Life terminates
   «madness of normality» (Arno Gruen [11]).
   Responsible thought, acting and behaviour spread into the
   world and join for the liturgy of human religion, for the
   service for the common good. The First Guiding Spirit
   settles in the common sense. It heals from the madness of
   patriarchal aberration and immunizes against its seductions.
   It leads to global height of humanity, free - bound only to
   natural needs of life. http://uuhome.de/global/english/human/humanism.html
