Nov 21, 2019, 8:54 AM We evolved technology(magic) and found ourselves with dominion over man (others) and nature (gods), so our natural religion is and always was philosophy(dominion over mind), with sacrifice and ritual (debt payment) to gods (archetypal forces) our ‘literature’. The problem we faced is that the church – like judaism and islam – closed down our stoic schools and epicurean communes (monasteries), and killed or outcast our philosophers, to DESTROY OUR NATURAL RELIGION of philosophy (vs theology), and archetypes (vs monotheism). There is no evil in this wold remaining other than abrahamism – I am not sure there ever has been

Our Three Biggest Errors
Nov 21, 2019, 11:57 AM Better to think of monarchies as intergenerational custodians. It is clearly better to have intergenerational families make profits or loss from rule (arts and limits) and a rotating middle class for governance (commons). Conflating rule and governance has been one of our three largest errors: 1) conflating rule and governance 2) not expanding houses for the classes. 3) repeating the roman error of the unearned franchise.

Foundations of Axial Age Religions:
Nov 24, 2019, 2:15 PM Read chapter 1 “The Axial Peoples” from The Great Transformation (2006) by Karen Armstrong. If you don’t know the foundations – you don’t know anything. Then you will understand the strong and material european gods and the weak and etherial eastern gods. Our Link: https://mega.nz/#!L34mmY7D!PTxst2uDEnAusH0zYWxicVOYiCFQBJGju2h7UdHc4U0

The Origins of Natural Religion
Dec 1, 2019, 8:55 AM What’s the difference between the hunt and resulting feast, throwing a piece of meat on the fire to thank nature for her bounty, dancing around a fire that night to tell the story with moral heroic or tragic framing, with everyone drumming, chanting, singing, or reciting along – and religion? Absolutely nothing. That’s the purpose religion fulfills: the pack is happy together, and we are happy, calm, safe, ‘belonging’, within it: mindfulness. Then there are people who use religion for evil: and those are the fundamentalists who have lost the point, either out of insecurity or need for sense of agency – when they have none.

Our Brain Works Sort of The Opposite of How You’d Think
Dec 2, 2019, 3:41 PM
—Our brain works sort of the opposite of how you’d think: it’s always running, always forecasts everything, in a vast competition for attention, what’s most coherent and rewarding gets attention. The brain never stops, ever. We disconnect from it to daydream, relax, rest, or sleep. It never, ever, ever, stops.—
