PSYCHOLOGICAL FASCISM: I SEE WE ALL WORE PANTS TODAY

"A theory does not totalize; it is an instrument for multiplication and it also multiplies itself...It is in the nature of power to totalize and...theory is by nature opposed to power." Deleuze

It does not require a long walk around the sphere for an individual to come to realize the pervasive implementation of authoritative elements—both “externally” and “internally.” Externally the forces are observable and well known, indeed capitalism and the so-called Western worldview is inherently fascist. All corporations and governments are composed of human beings committing their life’s energy, time, and experience to a governing and disciplinary body. Our genuflection to this state of affairs has been naturalized through what Foucault referred to as the Family cell, as well as the conflicting and contradictory psychological abstractions humanity has concocted over the generations. The implementation of debt, servitude, mechanical time, representation via a singular individual or system (government, pope, father, race, etc.) all of these have become assumed necessities of which we pour into the very essence of our identity and wholeness. [1]

Authority and fascism are inseparable—though, the basis of this paper is not an examination of the well-known figureheads (the corporation, the religion, the family, and so on) but rather the psychological, the “internal,” and in many ways the most dangerous. It is our “internal” assimilation of fascist elements that allows for the “external” manifestation of behaviors and attitudes. It is
the conditioned mind that is the root of our problems.

The human animal has a propensity to assume the validity of a given system or philosophy based solely on the physical existence represented through a form of hyperdata (human generated physical signifiers—a bit of hyperreality, like the McDonald’s Golden Arches). In other words if you see an American flag you assume the existence and the validity of an entire web of Americana. You assume you’re in American because of all the “American” hyperdata you encounter. The same would be the case if you were born and grew up in an aboriginal environment. You would also assume it’s valid or legitimate just because—well there’s an American flag over there. I’ve referred to this previously and continue to find the term “hypnotism by infrastructure” to be a most appropriate characterization of this behavior.

Another example of hypnotism by infrastructure would be psychiatry. The average person assumes psychiatry is a totally legitimate science. Yet practicing psychiatrists admit that psychiatry has no biopsy. In other words I can’t tell you what “mental illness” you have based on a sample of your body, unlike say I can test for a variety of real diseases just by a simple examination of the blood. Also, many psychiatrists admit that they’d never cured a patient—in deed one can’t. However despite that “mental illnesses” can not be accounted for physically nor do psychiatrists “cure” their patients, psychiatry is considered to the average person to be legitimate—why? Well, there are so many psychiatric offices in the world. [2]

There is no more obvious example of human animals assimilating improvable, indeed dangerous notions, than through culture. A particular language ensnares us immediately along with its philosophies, beliefs, and dogma—the very essence of fascism. Control complete with dogma. However the subtleties of this infection are often not brought into discourse, perhaps most significantly due to the fact that most folks are not conscious of them or they support a manufactured self-image.

Culture is a cult. It is a system of controlling, dogmatic, totalitarian, fear-inspiring, chaotic, pointless, ignorance-rewarding death trap for the soul. It is separatist and exclusive. All these are derivatives of belief and inexperience. As long as we consider culture to be legitimate, in that we allow it to rule our individual subjective experience, we will forever be at the whim of its command, its catalog, its fad, and control. Identification with a system that is a human abstraction is the result of hypnotism by infrastructure—it is guaranteed, lifelong dissatisfaction. This is what encourages us “to seek” and “to become.”

How do we then become aware of these hidden horrors within ourselves? Unfortunately this requires one to “be here now” as the maxim goes. We have to start from square one—the present. Existence. It is from this rich platform that one is able to inspect the vista of experience. A vista that is, from the perspective of the conditioned experience, unknown--and yet familiar. One then must individually accept the possibility that we might know what’s going on. Really. We might not know what we are deeply, or why we are, outside of some purely material reductionist perspective.

I’m putting forth meditation as the only means to do this—indeed it is the only real examination. It is becoming more conscious. It is also not difficult. One assumes or believes it is. It also does not require some fancy positions or techniques. All it really requires is relaxation, however internal fascist machinations have made relaxation to be the greatest of human sins, thus it is mentally stigmatized. We aren’t used to going easy on ourselves, but as long as we have our mind in a constraining belief system or some other kind of filter, we will not make any progress on this front. As long as we identify with belief, fear, egoic-mindedness we will not see anything new. From the position of identification we will not encounter what All That Is actually is and by consequence who and what we are.

When one relaxes they allow the universe to be rather than to tell it what it is. In other words one isn’t caught up in the assumed legitimacy of the psychological habit known as “ascription” or naming, compartmentalizing, cataloging, judging, etc.

Thomas Campbell, NASA physicist, frontiersman of consciousness, and author of “My Big TOE: A Trilogy Unifying Philosophy, Physics, and Metaphysics” mentioned this on his website’s discussion board my-big-toe.com:

"One typically starts this journey to explore beyond PMR [physical matter reality] attachments with meditation. With enough practice one learns to let go of local operative thoughts and PMR sensory inputs and experience pure consciousness, pure awareness with no thoughts and no sensory input from PMR -- this is the void -- perfect sensory deprivation and a perfectly still mind aware of nothing but its own existence. The void is a good place to just float around and feel totally integrated and connected with All That Is at a visceral level -- to experience your own consciousness as a point of aware existence within The One. Because in this state you are aware of your existence but have no direct awareness of PMR, you are no longer body centered -- you are out of your body. Some take 20 years to get to this point because their beliefs and expectations put this experience outside of their reality. Some get there in a few weeks. At this point you can use your intent to focus or drive your consciousness to do what you want it to do -- heal someone, remote view, walk around on Mars, explore the available data bases, or communicate with some other consciousness in either PMR or NPMR [nonphysical matter reality]. You can think rationally, make decisions and express your will coherently – your mind is clear, easily focused, and at your command rather than being submerged within your randomly chattering ego. Your intent is what you will. Your intent/will is normally obfuscated beneath a pile of self-referential high entropy jabber and ego junk but because you have learned to reduce that to zero -- now it is just you “the consciousness” and the void that is The One. You are now in control of, the captain of, your mind." [3]

Certain audio technologies utilizing binaural beats have accelerated this, in deed ancient human activity of deep meditation. What once took many decades can now be learned in a few months or less in some cases. (see The Monroe Institute)

As one famous teacher put it, “We’re actually wired to awaken.” All you have to do is allow it to happen.

It is Belief that acts as a glass ceiling for the soul.
