The podcast can be found here, Trauma and Existence
Our existence is determined by relationships. These relationships include one’s relationship with their family, neighbours, employment, society as well as with our surroundings over and above human beings, relationship with the air one breathes is a relationship too.
Relationships determine a human’s basics needs food and shelter. For trauma to be effective it must target the basics, food, and shelter.
The relationship living things have with food is that without nourishment life will wither and die. This is the same with human beings, without enough calories one will weaken and die. One needs food to get food, food gives one the energy to get food, it is fuel. Therefore, most trauma will be directed around food, the relationship human beings have with food is that without it a human lacks energy to form other relationships, food provides the energy to have relationships. Without food eventually one’s relationships get less and less until they have the last relationship with their death bed.
Any creatures most personal possession is their body. That is the deepest relationship they will have in this material world. That is why human beings say my body, my hands, my eyes, my vagina, my toes, my buttocks, my knees, my heart, my head. Understanding this relationship, one has with one’s body, the ultimate trauma is to cause trauma to the body, to cause physical pain and ultimately death. All other relationships are secondary to the relationship one has with their body, no body no life.
What happens to a slave who gets out of line, they get a whipping, trauma to the body? The relationships in the mind of the slave is that they understand what will happen if they get out of line. There other ways to punish a slave who gets out of line, and this again is to attack their most personal relationship the one they have with the body. The slave is given the most back breaking work for getting out of line. This is an attack on the body, the most personal relationship. One sends those slaves to break rocks with a pick as a warning to others.
Everybody is going to die, though certain it remains a random event, traumatic death can be considered a premature death, all adults understand this, the relationships in their mind want to avoid a premature death.
Trauma is based around the reality that a human being wants to be alive. Not only to be alive, but they want the best possible life they can get. All human beings have a deep relationship with food, it along with water is literally life. The relationship with food is such that the promise of better-quality food can change the relationships in a human being’s mind.
That human beings will use their last reserves of effort to try to get food and water, to have another day, this is the reality in this three-dimensional reality, the reality of life. Humans want the better of the basic needs, be it food, shelter, or clothing.
All human beings have a deep relationship with food and water primarily as well as with shelter and clothing. As these are primary to human survival, the relationship in the human mind is such that humans understand that better quality food is associated with a materially better quality life, that is why better quality food, shelter and clothing is associated with a materially better quality life and that better food, shelter and clothing is for who society has given more culturally. If the culture is theft, of course the thieves will have the better-quality food, shelter and clothing. It is about how society is organized, the relationships within society determining what is valued.
Understanding
human relationships in the mind, there is a hierarchy of needs, ranking of
desires, what must be taken care of first in terms of human survival. Every
action one takes is a random event and it is influenced by what one believes
must be done at that moment. When one follows a bad law, it is not necessarily
that they agree with that law, but for survival, at that moment one feels that
obeying the bad law is good for their survival and continuation of life.
One’s relationships are around food, shelter and clothing. How much does a human for example rank a certain cultural practice compared to food, shelter and clothing? Depending on their toleration they will rank different principles they have in relation to food, shelter and clothing. This toleration will determine a human being view towards accepting that everything is in a relationship, all relationships take energy to maintain and all relationships are random. The reality is that the relationship between the basic needs and society is that often people will prefer food or better-quality food rather than accept that all relationships are random. If food, shelter, better quality food and shelter means they must ignore the reality that every relationship is random, it means that is how they get their food, shelter and clothing.
Trauma is about forcing people to accept their place. It plays with an individuals or a groups hierarchical needs, the dilemma of course is always what does society do with those who insist on the reality that all relationships take energy to maintain and are all random, they will go against societies norms unless that society respects reality, then reality that all relationships are random will be a major factor in the culture of the land.
Rejecting the principles around relationship means trauma must be applied to maintain that culture with its own unique ways of denying in practice that all relationships are random. Trauma is applied using the hierarchy of human needs and desires. Trauma of course is applied harsher and harsher according to what cultural norms have been broken.
One’s own principles are determined by one’s own philosophy, their outlook of the world. One’s philosophy depends on their past locations and relationships in those locations. This is to say, one’s philosophy, the relationships one has in their mind, is determined by past relationships. It is one’s relationships in their mind, one’s philosophy that will determine how much one will accept the reality that all relationships are random.
One does not normally associate those who leave in shacks with having ice cream and plum for dessert. Some human beings desiring this ice cream and kiwi fruit for desert above the reality that all relationships are random will use their energy to maintain relationships that deny that relationships are random, as if they where not born because of a random process, their very chances of having been born at all are miniscule but there they are.
To get this ice cream and kiwi fruit, if they have to deny the reality that all relationships are random for it, it means they are willing to cheat, rob, create illusions around themselves that suggest that somehow reality favors them by chance for some mystical reason, fix the system to serve them over and above others of society. To be able to rob, cheat, maintain illusions they created around themselves, they have to use trauma, or they might not get to have the caviar.
There of course those despite much get their steak because they understand no matter what relationships society has, no matter what they profess to be their truth, the reality that everything is in a relationship and all of these relationships need energy to maintain and are random. These people use their energy to build relationships that are not culturally accepted and thus prove that all relationships are random. Of course they will meet resistance if the culture of the location does not accept that all relationships are random, trauma.
The less a society accepts that all relationships are random it follows that culture will tolerate more trauma. More people will understand their place through trauma and the threats of trauma not ability or lack of ability. Those who give direction to society will be there through a process that denies that all relationships are random.
To deny the reality that all relationships are random is in essence in terms of understanding relationships is to determine that for one to get food, shelter, and clothing it has less to do with the human but other outside factors that can not be fully comprehended by the human mind.
Information is categorized according to certain properties, the reason why one can say this is an apple, that a star, this is water, this is a human being, that is a zebra. Though the zebra, cyanide, and human being are made up of the same stuff, that same stuff has different relationships with itself, different quantity and quality of energy used to maintain those relationships thus giving them form and structure. Humans have categorized certain relationships as a zebra, others as cyanide, others as human beings and the multitude of things that humans have named because they have categorized them.
To classify information as a human being means society has observed and deemed if information meets certain parameters it shall be categorized as a human being. Having categorized that information package as a human being, a human being is about relationships with the same stuff as copper, all relationships are random and need energy to maintain them and give them structure. As all relationships are random, relationship between similar information will be random limited by limits on either side. It follows that relationships that deal with human beings will not defy the reality that affects all other relationships. For one to then deny this reality as applicable to human beings can only enforce this with trauma certainly not reasoning.
Once refusing to accept that all relationships are random one opens relationships in their mind to things that are extremely far fetched and have nothing to do with the reality a human is just a human. They must justify their denial of randomness with mysticism. The reality is falsified that it is not about food on the table when it is, that is why they get the best food.
Once one goes into mysticism they will study themes like one must walk into the light, one must become the light, follow the light, they give the light, they are enlightened, somehow their specialness is always at one time or another related to light. They always invoke a relationship with light, a relationship takes energy to maintain. The good food they have first choice to supplies the energy for their minds to have such relationships.
It is normally on public display who is having good quality food and other members of the society can see that. As this first choice to food comes from a false premise that has to deny that all relationships are random, those aspiring to better quality food must also apply this false premise or the relationships that depend on that false premise will fall apart.
Fancying the 100-foot yacht one must deny reality that everything is in a relationship and all relationships are random. That 100-foot yacht represents better quality food, shelter and clothing. In societies, or planets that deny that reality to get that 100-foot yacht means most often one has gone with the cultural norms of whatever prejudices that culture has adopted to deny that all relationships are random. Having denied that everything is in a relationship they justify it with mysticism. That mysticism invoking light how close they are to the light, how they follow the path of the light, how they are enlightened and are prone by some mysticism to be easily enlightened.
But when one investigates this light it is the one that told us that everything is in a relationship and that all relationships lead to a loss of freedom because they need energy to be maintained and give them structure. All relationships are random. By refusing this reality that all relationships are random starting from the basic particle was a result of observing the behaviour of light. But people claim to be enlightened, following the path of enlightenment, the light, but the light tells us all relationships are random. This means the light they talk of is not the real light, but some false imagination that can never be investigated.
To defy reality as has been stated above, more traumatic relationships must be created to force the human mind to accept what is not real, this is because a human being will prefer in most instances to be alive, preferring to exist and showing submission, when can easily whisper red can be green. The question for those who cause trauma is how much does it take on average in the relationships in the mind of the opponent does it take for them to submit and say green is red as a sign of submission that reality is not random. Not realizing they are torturing a human who exists because of random events and themselves as the one torturing and breaking the opponent exist because of a random event.
To accept things are random it means one understands that another is a human and is not a gift for them from some mystical concepts for them to do with as they please. The light of their imagination by refusing that all relationships are random refuses to grasp the reality that the true light leads to. Thus in that society to openly support everything is random and what it implies, culturally, legally, economic organization, intellectual encouragement, simply put accepting that everything is in a relationship and relationships are random, the entire outlook of society would change and ask why do they have first choice to food, if the answer defies that all relationships are random, somebody is being taken for less of a human being at some level.
Accepting that all relationships are random is to accept there is no human being who is a sacred gift to another. A human being finally must work on themselves, as any other human being works on themselves in what ever they are seeking from this life. Accepting everything is random one needs not cheat because their mind was not up to the task, perhaps their grandchildren’s mind will be up to the task. But if they insist, they will cheat, it puts a risk on their grandchildren who might have better relationships than them in terms of understanding. People can see when they are being cheated, it means it must become culture of the society, trauma.
Rejecting that all relationships are random, is to deny that others are fully human, not as much as the one denying hat all relationships are random. Trauma must be induced, targeting the basics, food, the quality and quantity of food. Shelter, the quality and quantity of the shelter. Clothing, the quality and quantity of clothing and all that these qualities and quantities imply. It is to convince oneself and culture that somehow some are just not good enough by some mystical notions.
A society based on trauma finally ends up in terms of those culturally taken as the least are spoken of in terms of near animals, they don’t feel pain, they are suited for that, that means animals have no pain if they consider humans to have no pain. Anything can be traumatized unnecessarily because a human has no pain unlike them special humans who feel all the pain and all the emotional range of human beings.
Having traumatized human beings for some resources, what are the animals and plants worth if a human being can be sacrificed? That flora and fauna is worth nothing, no matter how much one tries to deny that another human being is just another human being, that act means it is about them, that is how they understand relationships, everything else is to serve them, if a human is so much less the kangaroo, bear, eagles, whales, leopards, giraffes, salmon are just nonsense. The confusion becomes even more clear when it comes to humans mimicking.
We have talked of Flora and Fauna, but apparently another had the same thought. A tweet from @seeker says a John Francis founder of Planet Walk apparently once said “we are the environment and how we treat each other is really how we treat the environment”
Humans looked at the birds and wished to fly. Humans looked at information, something made up of exactly the same stuff as humans, but because of different energy relationships it flew, humans desired so much to mimic the bird that today we fly. If birds did not exist what would have inspired humans to fly, what would have humans mimicked. To then go and destroy the bird is to refuse the reality that one was inspired by those birds. A human is looked down upon, what about the inspiration from the bird, you thought of flying, that is a clear lie, people saw birds.
All sorts of robots in 2020 are inspired by animals, from insects to snakes, what if they didn’t exist. If one believes you can work a human to death because they feel no pain, how can they ever believe that insect they are copying for their robots feels pain, it is obviously of less intellectual capacity and one can do as they please with it, how can it feel pain? Humans deny creatures that inspire them, all from a result of denying that all relationships are random.
Denying all relationships are random means one to maintain these relationships in society must deny that they have been inspired by what they consider lessor, an obvious lie, that’s why it was enforced that the knowledge of the slave belongs to the master. How then will one admit that the shape of some fish inspired the design of a plane, what if that thing didn’t exist.
Of course humans need resources to progress, resources implies applied knowledge. We need iron from the ground, question is can it not be mined more efficiently. We need more food, can we not utilize the land better. But before even attempting to answer these questions on a grand scale, is a human being just another human being, do we accept that everything is in a random relationship and is the result of random relationships that need energy to maintain thus giving them a structure.
