Convert, or DIE!

The given—gift of the God of Being + Becoming?---truth is that change is constant.

So, depending on the informed or misinformed state of any of us, at any given point of time, the most vital kind of change required for the most social good for the most members of society is---conversion.

Every belief system, if even a little bit coherent and consistent, wants to grow, and to do this the extant members of that system MUST gain NEW adherents, and that necessarily demands that non-members somehow become convinced of the truth of that system.

Hence, the dominant Christian admonition, usually mocked, like in cartoons with a guy in a sandwich-like “suit” with the words, “Repent, sinner!” on it. This is simply a form of the same need.

Just so---right NOW, on the changing margin, as always, there exists a swinging set of malleable humans ripe for the change of our time: CONVERT to freedom!

We must never forget that, despite the best efforts of too many American citizens with closed minds, this country STILL converts” many non-Americans in the form of legal and illegal immigrants, who desperately yearn to leave the mostly unfree places they come from in exchange for the freedom HERE.

Thus, is the tree of freedom watered, every day.

Likewise, those current Americans, who finally realize they have been mugged by liberal reality, reach the unavoidable tipping point of personal desperation and---CONVERT.

Exactly as hardly anyone LEAVES America---except, those who are already rich, and want to escape taxes---the same thing is true about politics. Very few people convert FROM the right to the left!

Another useful truth---experienced people rarely make mistakes. How do you become experienced? By making mistakes!

So, there is a huge pool of inexperienced people, in America. The up-and-coming younger cohorts have indeed been programmed by the pubic schools and the rotten culture that rules the entertainment and academic realms AND, they are sure to sooner or later notice how mistaken their brainwashing has made them.

Mass conversion is coming, and is absolutely happening as we live and breathe.

Let’s go underneath the “skin” of our fruit of taught belief system.

There is always a form. And, this form is always changing.

So, at any moment, one is to some extent informed, misinformed, deformed, reformed, and most especially, CONFORMED---to the prevailing CW.

Also, others are in the same mixed state of “form”, so their very existence in a wordless or wordy fashion ineluctably is informing those who see or hear or read them.

Well, these days, those on the left are actively MIS-informing us all, with the elites in this devilish camp fully aware of what they are doing---they KNOW they are lying, and take those who buy their dung to be the fools they certainly ARE. And, then there is the vast wrong majority on the left who are THEMSELVES fools and fooled by the bangles offered by these elites, who also do their plebian best to fool others---unwitting nitwits!

Therefore, while we all eschew the “horrible” change that bodily aging is, given the loss in vigor and the growing “edge” that an ever approaching death surely represents, the older mind MUST welcome, indeed embrace, the freeing change that experience offers.

Change is GOOD!

Lastly, “sin” comes from the Greek, “to miss the mark”. And, so, too many people do have SINFUL opinions, having been misformed into the deformed creatures they are, as they conform to so much that is NOT true. We are all like a shot arrow, at once hitting the target, usually NOT in the bull’s eye, and thus sinning, AND simultaneously in flight toward the next target.

Best is to CONFORM to the bull’s eye!

Note---the book, “Laws of Form”, by G. Spencer Brown, from 1969, was recommended to me by Alan Watts, right around 1971. It will blow minds, if read.

Here’s a money quote, that extends to the current political war---

“In mathematics, it becomes apparent, at some stage, that we have for some time been following a rule without being consciously aware of the fact. This might be described as the use of a COVERT convention. A recognizable aspect of the advancement of mathematics consists in the advancement of the consciousness of what we are doing, whereby the covert becomes overt. Mathematics is in this respect psychedelic.” Page 85

Since mathematics is just the most ordered “dance” of human minds, I posit that this above quote applies in CONVERTING spades to the ongoing human “war” of political ideas.

Just substitute the word “Politics” for “mathematics”, and I think we can see what is NOW going on, especially wrt the Tea Party and its opponents.

Remember the Domino Theory?

Also, it is essential to constantly repeat “basic training”, or even complete it for the first time, and then repeat it. What is BT?

Change is constant! And, probably the MOST basic defining characteristic of being humanly alive is to “never give up!”, which expresses itself in always trying to maintain---the CONSTANT. I am, that I am, and a man’s a man, for all that.

However, process = change ALWAYS trumps stasis = constant.

Thus, picture a physical plane with many dominoes lined up so as to (over time, once ONE has been pushed into the one next to it) use gravity to begin the process of the logical chain reaction. Well, while this image stays constant in your mind’s eye, over time more change is ALWAYS inevitable.

The reliance on this theory that led to America’s Viet-Nam adventure played itself out. Behind it was the USSR, and, indeed, the other bad boy, China was also right in the neighborhood, ready to possibly copy what they did in Korea.

However, the changing Domino Theory processed future actions by ALL players, depending on rising and falling clout---and, all the changing time, the USA kept on getting smarter and stronger, despite fools like Carter, et al, from the fellow-traveling left, doing their worst to bring her down.

So, America left Nam in shame, to the eternal damnation of the poor people left in that hot country AND the leftists in America, the enemy within, who chickened out.

Even so, 35 years later, in the meantime---the very MEAN time!---the Soviet “Union” fell, freeing up millions of people, and China was forced to open up its economic system.

And that left a vacuum for the growing-rich-from-oil leaders of the Muslim cult to make their newly processed attempt to take over the world.

Enter today’s new Domino Theory.

The Middle East has always been an ammo dump, basically, filled with too many resentful human “bombs”, and change has brought modernity to that sorry acreage, at last! Now, they can process everything that’s new, and they’re seemingly doing it all at once---the NEW Domino Theory still exhibits many of the same characteristics of the old one.

The Axis of Evil would be fatally crippled, if, and only if, Iran went the way of Iraq. That country, taken over by fanatics, is truly the Arsenal of Terrorism!

History will not be kind to GWB or slick Willie, and especially BHO---they will be seen as the weak and indecisive non-leaders they were and are: caretakers of government, ALL. Not wise men, in the least, except for GWB, who at least was forced to react to the attacks of 9-11 and to take out Saddam.

What about “Nation Building”?

The whole concept reeks of stasis! That is, living, and processing-it-all humans, inherently remain attached to lessons learned from history, and the very mention of the words, “Nation Building”, Pavlov-dog-like, elicit CW notions of logical ideas of what it means.

Well, OBVIOUSLY, there has to be something called a “nation” (constant), and, for better or worse, somebody has to “build” (process) it.

However, what if the human race is reaching a tipping point, wrt what a nation is? Take Afghanistan, for example. Before it became a battleground “state” or “process”, that land with random boundaries was known to “contain” many tribes, which basically controlled their own fraction of the land. What “nation” existed?

So, in the same sense that it was wrong to force boundaries on peoples living in the Middle East that “created” an Iraq and a Jordan, let alone the conundrum known as “Palestine”, it SEEMS like the same thing is problematic, today.

My guess is that, over the unavoidable processing of time, probably the most vital expression of the “Tea Party” dynamic is happening in all those places that are damned by the name “nation building”.

Thus, the natural human desire for personal freedom is HAPPY to be free of overweening BIG GOVERNMENT! Why does anyone ever need such a monstrosity? FEAR!!!

It’s back to the mob verses the individual. Gangs in LA, or in Beijing.

What was the raison d’etre of the Roman Empire? To bring ORDER! And, without adequate force to protect it, what did we get---DISORDER!

Hence, there really isn’t any option to an impregnable USA, that keeps Absolute world order, as long as various malicious centers of power remain, eager to stick it to the “nation” that has “built” and maintains ORDER.

It turns out that the “Law and Order” party is the only one we should all want, and fight for, unless we are nihilistic fools or devils.
