Constitutional
Government: Part I: The man and woman of sovereign consciousness stand free on the central mountain of the world fierce with a strength that eschews the unconsciousness and false safety of the man of the herd, those who live in the shadows of life. The sovereign man and woman stand unafraid and impassible yet open before all that is, before even the forbidden and the hard, before all that the fearful evade or cower from, both within their own minds and in the external world. They do not ask if the truth is useful or if it is profitable which is the modus of the herd man who chooses security and consolation before choosing life and even at the price of life lived in its fullness, life lived not in shadows and in dungeons but in the full force of the noonday sun. It was one of those first great Americans [2] who said if a man gives up liberty for security he will end up loosing both. The "We the People" of the Constitution is not the voice of the mob, of the herd man, the greater betrayer of man, it is the voice of the sovereign individual, of all sovereign individuals. A democracy unhitched from the Constitution is tyranny, the tyranny of the mob or of an oligarchy for whom the mob is but an unknowing instrument for its private ambitions. The reign of an enlightened monarchism is vastly superior to the democracy of the unconscious mob and history furnishes several examples of this. The gospel of democracy so crassly preached by our opportunistic politicians as the panacea for the world and all its ills is just such a travesty. A democracy apart from the definition of man as free consciousness and the realization of the free individual in precisely human terms, a democracy held out as the salvation of the earth apart from a Constitution is the death of the earth, for it is the death of the individual who is the only hope of the earth. Let us give this concrete form and breath. The phenomenon of globalization hailed in our time as the herald of a new world, of a new world order, is not a utopia of universal love, of global community, it is a nightmare of global enslavement. Its paid politicians intone democracy as the instrument of its formation and realization and hold up the American model as the proof and the prefiguration of its glorious apotheosis, its ultimate possibility and denouement. But let us beware of the politician, let us always beware of all politicians, the professional soothsayers of the half-truth. Democracy in their sense, unhitched from a constitution, is the Trojan horse for an ambush on the world's resources and the transformation of its face into a termite world of rabid mass consumerism, into a herd of "workers". The vulgar democracy of the mob is the Trojan horse whose purpose is to create a global political and economic mechanism that opens all peoples to the access of the parasite businessman, the earth's new feudal lord. It is not economics at the service of life, it is life at the service of a tyrannical, all controlling economic ideology. The
mathematical impossibility of its claims has unveiled the face of a
rapacious leviathan: if the output (Gross National Product) of the American
economy, whose population represents approximately 4% of that of the
earth, requires the consumption of 32% of the world's available resources,
then the American model is by definition limited to only 12% of the
world's population, the remaining 88% become pack animals for this de
facto ruling oligarchy. If it be argued that much of the world's resources
have yet to be exploited, the state of the environment that results
from this form of technology indicates by an elementary regression analysis,
that cannibalization and decimation of the earth by its human termites
is inevitable not later but sooner. Far from being the model for the
earth to be exported to all, it is the death of the earth and of life,
it is a model that is antithetical to life in ultimate terms and therefore
it is false. The problem is not capitalism, which is a useful tool and
a necessary one for the free individual, it is capitalism perverted
and laced with a rootless all-consumptive greed in the hands of a globalist
oligarchy of master parasites with limitless ambitions. The final criterion
of truth is life itself and what increases life in all directions and
in every dimension. |
