Personal Alsters

Sunday, June 18, 2006

Through the course of our daily lives we often stumble over incidents and happenings that to us seem totally random.
But is there really anything that can be labelled "random"?

Does not everything that happen happen for a reason?

Does not all effect have cause?
And is not all cause an effect itself caused by something else?

These and many other questions ultimately leads to the question: Does fate exist?

For me there is no doubt, everything happens for a reason, everything has meaning and fate is a power to be reckoned with.

Believing in fate is kind of like believing in God, it is to believe that everything serves a higher purpose even if it is not visible to us.

And it is a mathematical issue as well, as long as you have the right amount of knowledge. To explain this I refer to what is known as the reduction theory:


All psychology is based on biology.
All biology is chemistry.
All chemistry follows the laws of physics.
All physics can be explained through the field of mathematics.
And finally, the field of mathematics is logical.
Hence, according to the reduction theory, all psychology is logical.

This may seem frightening to believe for some people but as long as you do not derive moral judgement out of this theory, which I see as impossible, I do not see the problem. Others refrain to the unnecessary chain of thought which for them leads to feelings of futility in living life if it is just pure logic and numbers. But I see it as an asset, a mean of seeing the world for what it really is, a miracle.

Through these omnipresent mathematical equations Cosmos sustains its Balance, Form and Development.

Take 1.618 for example, this number forms the way galaxies move as well as how seashells are shaped. If you take a normal proportioned human body and measure it from head to toe, divide that figure with the length from the pelvis to the toes you get the same figure. This extraordinary figure together with other magical numbers show one thing: Cosmos is symmetrical and coherent. Personally I would like to think that it also gives us a glimpse of a Creator that has conured a master plan, but that's just me.

Do not take me wrong on this one though, I am not religious since I do not confess myself to any Church, Saviour or similar beings of "divinity". I am just being logical and trying to be spiritual.

Neither do I believe that God can be prayed to with effect since It has already formed the Grand Plan. We humans are just a small aspect of Its majestic thought. But we as a species has the potential of reaching and revealing Its Grand Plan through logic and the field of mathematics.

Cosmos is like a picture. We just do not, yet, have large enough frames to see it all, that is what holds us back. We can only see that picture in four dimensions but in the end it is all the same, it does not matter which way time goes because we have already done what we are supposed to do, our only excuse for being here is to find out more, to widen our frame.

Our goal, together with other intelligent Life that Cosmos has brought about through its inevitable existence, is to become God. To transcend space and time, reach out of Cosmos and make our frames unlimited. We will be able to do this by the means of technology and/or spirituality that takes us to new levels of awareness. Cosmos itself is a paradox, it exists to create Life because Life itself will recreate Cosmos. Existence is an eternal cycle, a circle.

P.S. The above was written before I came to truly believe in divinity, healing light and other spiritual matters. Even though the above could be true there are things unsolved and unseen by us humans.

Technology is great, when in use for the right purpose. The right purpose being generally sustaining human existence of course.
But technology can be a bitch when it just exists to either make someone rich or to make people unemployed, which is a result from making other people rich.
Of course it is good when a stage in production where people previously had to waste a lot of energy and wear out their bodies is now replaced by machines but not if it is on expense of people's jobs. If this automatisation continues and there finally won't be any working humans, who will consume what is produced? Market based economy is in this aspect flawed because it will bring about a new depression when all workers are machines and robots.
Once again I say that it is Balance that is required, Balance between Man and Machine, between market based and planned economy.
I'm talking about doing what is right for us and this planet so that noone is left out.

What if we used the advances on the technological areas to decrease workers labouring hours instead of sacking some of them while the rest must work harder?
I do not know but my guess is that it is once again to uphold the fear.
Workers who know that their boss is keen on unemploying those of his employees that are "sloppy", "cocky" and questioning their way of life, often devouts their time at work to do their boss' biding so that they do not lose their work.
If, at the same time, there are thousands of unemployed people keen on wanting to replace these sacked workers the workers often feel that there is no use in resisting what is "to be done".
Therefore a high unemployment rate in society aids the owners of the means of productions and enables them to increase the workload on their employees at the same time as they decrease their wage becuase their employees know that if they resist they will immediately be replaced.
The owning class refers to this as "supply and demand".
If supply of labour is plenty and the demand is low wages will decrease and vice versa.

And what controls supply and demand?
The market. Through our collective strive for happiness the owning class makes money.
They say: It is a free transaction and you can deny it if you want.
But since nearly all employments work like this and we need employment to "purchase" happiness we let ourself get paid less than we really deserve. And this difference between our "real" wage and their wage is the money that pays them. It is called by the owners as "gain", it is that gain that makes enterprising lucrative.

How does this gain arise?
When you and your collegues work you are paid a wage, this is a investment for your company's owner/owners as well as paying for resources and tools.
Let us say you produce chairs. The partial wage of every chair you make is 1 dollar, and the resources needed for that chair also cost 1 dollar together with the slight damage on the tools that costs 1 dollar.
These figures are of course hypothetical but they are sufficient in explaining how the WAGE SYSTEM work.
Combining your labour with resources and tools the gathered investment per chair comes to 3 dollars. But when the chair is sold the owners take 4 dollars for it, or more.
That difference is what creates the gain.

And who buys those chairs?
If not you directly then it is in the majority of the cases some other person that shares the same social status as you, another worker.
And considering that all enterprising with private and non-labouring management work after the same principals there can only be one conclusion;
The wealthy grows wealthier while the poor grows poorer.

However, when workers come to this insight, this consciousness, the pyramide of production always starts to sway.
And no wonder, the pyramide of production is flawed and unfair.
This is where classtruggle comes into the picture, classtruggle, no matter of the leading of it, is always spontaneous.
When the conditions of production deteriorate to the workers disadvantage workers always protest, no matter what kind of regime their company or country has.
Why? I say it is because they are defending their dignity as humans.
The strike is a way to say: No! We won't budge!

Sadly, strikes has never led to any majour reorganization of the pyramide.
Instead they have just led to ways of prolonging its role in human civilization.
Strikes today are never about wanting to reorganize it either, they are just shortsighted solutions to enhance the workers current conditions in the pyramide.
Strikes are still thinking inside of the pyramide when their true source lies outside of it in the hope of a fundamentally different and better tomorrow.
And that tomorrow will never be achieved by simply striking as a small minority of the gathered working class.
The only possible strike is the GENERAL STRIKE, the global strike that includes all workers, or at least a majority.
Only then will our voices be heard because the loss for the owners will be astronomical.
Until then there are much better ways to show your antipathy for this system.

Resistance, just resisting to work on worktime.
Organize all your collegues so that noone gets blamed or noone does more than anyone else.
If you all are on time, pretend to do as you are told and work when you are in sight of the boss but does not do shit until he gets back or you go home you will still be paid a salary but your employers won't make any gain and the boss will go insane.
This is much more effective than a strike and can go on for much longer.

If you are working within distribution you can either add to your salary as an individual by stealing from the cash register. Or organize you comrades and stop taking charge all together or just take charge and put it in your own pockets.
This seems as unjust, but what about not working for money, how unjust is that?

We as workers has all these rights simply because we do all the work around here.
The power is already ours, we just got to learn how to deal with it.

Finally we as a collective have to start speculating: What is the true goal of every strike and every other conflict between classes in history? Why do people challenge the power?

My guess?
They want influence, it has always been about influence.
Workers strike because they want their voices to be heard.
People protest for the same reason.
I.e. all strife continues until all voices are heard and respected, until we all have the potential of deciding for ourself, until the world truly practices democracy.

The need for a more humane and ecological approach to problems in our world is of no greater neccessity than now. The world is standing on the brink of destroying itself with us in it and still we have not come up with a solution.
Either we let our emotions get out of hand and wage war based on hatred for our enemies, excused with love for our homeland.
Or we coldly calculate and let logic guide us into "modern" warfare where we wage war for pure benefits.
We need to find the Balance, the perfect coexistence of logic and emotion so that we all, brothers and sisters of Earth, can thrive in peace with ourself and Nature.
The violence and indifference that tears down this society also tears down ourself, it makes us feel that we are born into a world that we are not a part of.
We need to find out exactly where it went wrong and the priorities went haywire, when did wealth become our God and God a figmented imagination?
Since we cant go back in time to readjust our mistakes we just have to use the insight to our present advantage, i.e. to learn from our mistakes.

And time is of the essence since we do not know how long humanity or Earth has left in this wonderful Creation we have been truly blessed with.
How could we ever think that all of this, this magnitude of magnificence, was ever ours to sell?
It is not ours, only what we make of it through the work of our hands and minds is ours to dispose of, but when we have disposed of it is once again property of the Earth, the property of all the unique entities that inhibit this beautiful sphere in the vast darkness of Cosmos.

Cosmos is all about Balance, everywhere nature itself has come up with a way to create equilibrity so that the scale does not tip over to any side. We who indeed are a product of Cosmos are however breaking the Balance and every day we tip yet another scale resulting in extinction of other species, ecological disasters and human suffering, all in vain.
We will have no use of our ability to create (or destroy) or of this planet's assets if we keep up this way of life, change is a neccessity as I've already said.
We have got to relearn alot about the Earth that through generations has gone lost to be able to live of it like humanity of the old days did.
Im not talking about reinstating feudalism or a preindustrial way of production but a more natural way to treat Nature.
To be able to feed our whole population we will need a repatriation of the Earth so that more people can live of the seeds of the land and make us less dependant of technology.
In case of a global disaster the knowledge of how to start over will be crucial to the future survival of Mankind.

The industry and technology we possess is also an issue that has got to be dealt with.
Today it is wealth, technical and economic proggress that is the goal of development, humans are just means.
This pyramid of production must be toppled and reversed.
The Human must be on top of things so that all our means of reproducing our species and living our lives serves us, social, ecological and antropophilical proggress must be of higher priority than our means of existence which is just to preserve something that does not develop.
Or else it all becomes a big meaningless circle leading to, once again, an alienation for our world and isolation from our fellow human beings.

Below I have some poems that I have written in this particular issue and which I now gladly share with you, my brethren.

We have got to learn how to love each other
so that we can give more to one an other.
Not tempt to poison or destroy our brother
becuse we are all descendants from the same mother,
treat your sister fair
and you too will receive care
from those who speak instead of fighting.
The day of this happening
will come from the sky like lightning.

So look to the sky,
from there One sees all
but dont be shy
if you from your brethren receive call
for help since the world needs you to act
there is a reason; no one is exact.
The only way forward in relative safety
is through processes that celebrates diversity
where people help each other out of mental poverty
and make everything everyone's property.
See now, through the holy Trinity,
that this is our kind's destiny.

And when all this, this long struggle is over?
Do not be afraid, all will in real sense be sober
in their being of spirituality
about what is important or not
so that the everlasting unity
the world achieved will not be forgot.
It wont be the end of the world of our receiving,
not reality's stop in our ways to define
but a new way of percieving
waiting down the line.

It began when the universe was young
but wont stop until the sound of conflicts has sung.
Until all strife is brought to a halt
by this gathered will, these creators,
if the system is the soil we are the salt
and our wills are formed by our dictators.
Those who are worthy has the clearence
which opens the door
that leads to control of providence
and an infinity more.

Where are those that defend these rights I defined?
You can see them mistreated and confined.
If society is a stairwell
they are on the floor
looking at you from a living hell
but still trying do more
to improve their situation than we,
some of them even sings the Internationale.
Instead of just watching
help your brethren to a better tomorrow,
start an organizing
instead of being shallow.
Open your eyes and discover the world for what it is
a place where the righteous is punished and the wicked receives bliss.
The neccessity is a change, almost a revolution
that can clear all this spiritual pollution
which twists our mind and heart
and makes angry Swedes yell: Snart!

But the worst possible result
of our way of life is yet to come,
war and annihilation is a cult
that can be ended as easy like chewing gum.
It needs insight and unity
all other attempts will be a futility.
Peace can not be brought by war,
neither can unity or insight.
Peace flows naturally from the inside of our material avatar
and can overcome by you standing up for what's right.
Just listen to the voices that complain
to know what shouldn't be done in vain.
Help those who are said not to belong
in a society where the priorities has gone wrong.
Our solution is spelled respect,
learn it and help us to protect
our independence
against those who profit
so that our governments
gives us their forfeit.
This cause is our task because when in practice
the world would have found the only way to justice.

When my brethren ask how
I ask why the system works and what should be done.
I say to my brethren let us act now
and get those who rule on the run
from the power of the people cause
the power of the people wont stop,
for the people is us
and we must the bubble of ignorance pop.

Since this is the first posting im doing on this blogg I would like to introduce myself.
Im kind of a regular guy who enjoys life, profound discussions, cold beer, people, music, a spliff and democracy.
And since I like democracy that much I have written a manifesto for more influence from democracy on society as a whole.

The more elaborate part of this manifesto will be in Swedish, my native language, but I will go into more detailed description of certain methods and functions in English later to widen my aduience.

Folkmakt:
Folket är högsta beslutande instans, genom voteringar över bästa möjliga medium utövar folket all makt över samhällsbesluten.
Majoritetsval och rätt till anonymitet.
Rösträtt åt alla.
Alla har rätt till utlysning av nya beslut.

Förslag på kommunikation:
Poströstning
Telefonkontakt med delegat eller röstövervakare.
Privat Internetuppkoppling*
Offentlig Internetuppkoppling*

*Utdelning av säkra e-legitimationer sker vid uppvisning av fysisk legitimation hos tillförordnade instanser.

Yrkesriksdag:
För att hålla sig själva informerade om viktiga beslut väljer folket ut representanter från sina arbetsplatser till en proportionerlig samling med halvtidsarbetande rådgivare som kan återkallas när som helst.
Yrkesriksdagen kontrollerar även att voteringen går rätt till och verkställs, genom att ha lika många protagonister som antagonister i kontrollen kan fusk förhindras.
Medlemmar i yrkesriksdagen får endast lön som kompensation för förlorad arbetstid.
Liknande instanser finns även på lokal och regional nivå.

Förslag på snabb organisering av yrkesriksdagen är att ersätta den nuvarande riksdagen med de fackliga organisationerna.

Öppen systemkritik:
En annan samling där vilka som helst kan delta och diskutera brister som de anser sig utsatta för i samhället, de diskuterar med yrkesriksdagen och folket fattar utifrån dialogen ett eller flera beslut.
Underlättad informationsfrihet och tryckfrihet för medborgarna via större tillgång till media och ett upphävande av rådande upphovs- och patenträttslagar.

Beslutsdelegation:
Vem som helst får delegera beslut i vilket beslut eller beslutsområde som helst till vem som helst, den delegerade får då lägga en röst extra i utpekat beslut eller beslutsområde för varje delegation.
Delegationen får återkallas när som helst.
Eventuella stoppmekanismer mot delegationer till enskilda röstare från fler än en majoritet av de röstberättigade inom beslut eller beslutsområden, att värna om demokratin.

Konfederation:
Alla demokratiskt avgjorda geografiska avgränsningar skall inom konfederationen ha autonom demokrati.
De samarbetar endast frivilligt genom den konfederala kapitalreserven.
Den konfederala kassan ägs gemensamt av medlemmarna i konfederationen och bidrag från den måste godkännas av ett flertal, betalningen för medlemskapet bestäms även den av medlemmarna.
Vidare nedåt är det likadant med landsting och kommun där kommunerna bestämmer gemensamt över landstingets kassa.
Medborgarna styr gemensamt över kommunen som består i kommunens alla medlemsföreningar inom fritidsintressen samt produktionsenheter och koordinerar tillsammans deras insatser och budget.
All privat egendom av produktions-, transport-, vålds-, distributions- och informationsmedel upphävs och kommuniseras.
Praktiserande av demokratisk marknadsekonomi och penningsväsende tills samtliga klasser och stater har upplösts och ersatts av konfederationen då en eventuell gåvoekonomi kan uppstå.

Globalism:
Ekonomiskt, politiskt, fackligt, socialt och militärt bistånd samt handel till och med liknande avgränsade system.
Försök till att skapa gemensamma beslutsområden för att skapa mänsklig gemenskap, utökande av konfederationen i förlängningen.

Utveckling:
Konfederativ upphandling av privat ägda produktionsmedel.
Demokratiserande av politiskt självständiga geografiska zoner och utökning av självständigheten genom initierandet av folkomröstningar samt andra opinionsundersökningar.
Vid demokratisk kontroll över hälften av en nations produktions- och distributionsmedel kan generalstrejk och massbojkott vara tänkbara strategier för att demokratisera statsapparaten.
Om nödgat, väpnat försvar av demokratiserad egendom samt massmöten, strejker och demonstrationer.
Vid demokratiserande av persondiktaturer över stater och andra våldsmakter bör kuppande användas för minimal blodspillan, i värsta fall fysisk elimination eller forcerad kontroll av eller över de drivande krafterna, då helst kapital och egendom för att förhindra överdrivna hämndaktioner och framtida motstånd.
Eventuella väpnade motstånd inom diktatoriska stater, mot invasionsmakter samt mot andra maktutövande minoriteter bör stödjas, enas och utbildas tills en fredligare men dock konsekvent, målmedveten och fungerande metod för folkmakt presenterats.

Basically, this whole idea of mine is to break down the power structures of the state and the corporations who rule this world. To take the power back to people where it truly belongs.
It came to me, when I was trying to legitimate different kinds of governments and systems that called themselves liberators of the people, that no elite can ever liberate a people, only people can liberate people. I realized eventually after years of dogmatic thinking and ideological superstition that a minority can never be trusted with the power over a majority without them abusing it. It also came to me that this had been implied all along from all over the world and the movement I were a part of, I had just not seen it.
Today I would like to think that this Utopia, this Ultimate vision of society is somewhat of a fraud when it is used as a reason to singlehandedly decide over people what should or should not be done about things which are noones business to decide but the involved people.

Im talking of what some call Communism.
Yes, it can be seen as an abomination, a disgrace of human kind that can know no limits.
But as a historical movement it is an asset for us who still dreams of a society more equal than the one we live in. If we still are aware of the fact that we are all unique human beings that each has talents of our own but that we are just a PART of a bigger perspective, a collective that includes millions of people around the globe we can in theory be able to make a society without hunger, war and despair work. A world where there are no boundaries for your or my way of life is a place where we are lords of our own destinies, it must consequently be a place where decisions that affects you are taken by you and decisions affecting others are taken by others.

In this sense im also talking more about what some like to call Anarchism.
Anarchy has falsely been accused for wanting to start a world wide war with no teams where the stronger survives and benefits on the weaker.
I say this is false because the meaning of the word anarchy is absence of power.
Since there can be no absence of power as long as we have possessions there are only two logical facts that can derive from this.
Either noone has any possessions or that everyone possess everything together.
Im not the kind of person that would like to abandon the technological landmarks we have won today, neither would I be prepared to abandon the relative welfare the world has achieved for a relative majority, instead I would like to preserve common interest by making it common property.
Im tired of seeing newflashes of people dying in other countries and hear that there is nothing that can be done about it, im tired of seeing wealthy people growing wealthier and poor people not being able to find food or shelter, im tired of seeing chief executives getting a retirement offer that will last longer than the rest of their natural lives while the common guy in that very same company gets half a paycheck and a "good luck" after working there for twenty years of his lifetime.
Im tired of a society that is solemny bent on producing, distributing and consuming for the sake of accumulating wealth for a minority.

I ask why. Why do we let ourselves get fooled and corrupted by these people that only does it to abuse and exploit us?
Media? Do they play a part in this great scheme, this great play for the masses?
I believe they certainly do, and that they do as deliberately and as systematically as the Church did to defend the Nobles and Kings in old days.
What is their instrument of making us obedient then?
Fear, nothing else but fear can make people react the way they do when they are in war, when they deny a hungry soul food, when they say to a man who is about to lose everything he has got due to hugh interest that there is abolutely nothing they can do.
They say: It is just the way things work.
And the way things works in this society is by money and violence, carrot and whip.
Because if all these people did not do all these things they would lose their jobs and have no money or violate the law and become punished.
But one has to ask oneself: Why do these things work? Who runs them?
I say they are runned by us, the only thing that makes us doing them is fear.
It is a common social behaviour among humans still to this day to always follow authorities and that is what makes us less human than the authorities themselves.
The real society of today is not between me and you, its between those who has the cash and the power, that is where our fates are being decided. The struggle for democracy is the struggle for reinstating the humanity in all humans, to make us worthy our title.

Because, if relations between people is what makes up society then society cant just be a way for things to work without any changes since all humans and consequently all relations between all humans developes.
It has been said by many others, Buddha, Einstein, Wittgenstein and Marx being some of them;
Nothing is ever for certain and never stays the same forever, not even society.

But I would like to believe we have the potency of extending this development endlessly, that we can live forever, however that is a completely different story which I wont go into right now.

What needs to be done about the inrighteousness of today is to replace the dominating feeling of fear and absence of power which results in apathy and indifference of human suffering with love and understanding for one another and to make everyone capable and entitled to making their own decision together with those who are affected by the decision.
