The only TRUE minority in the world is an idea...the idea of Humanity.

Actually, it's Truth.

Truth Is Greater Than Man
by Gabriel Chiron

The average man or woman on the planet Earth does not seek greater truth beyond conditioned contemporary dogma of belief and disbelief. Truth is cosmic, but religion cannot handle it. Truth is metaphysical, but science cannot accept it. Truth is revelation, but government is constantly covering up its wrong doing, its corruption and incompetence, its bad decision-making. All throughout normal society is this collusion against greater truth, this mutually reinforcing idle chatter without serious inquiry, this anti-ontological conspiracy. The self-enclosed social self keeps itself oblivious to the great cosmic and metaphysical issues. When the social self, the member of society, is not talking to other social selves about various superficial nothings, it is just blanking out and staring stupidly into space or rushing about with that pressured, unhappy look on the face.



The spirit of inquiry, the search for greater truth beyond religion and science, the profound seriousness of doing real thinking, philosophy and ontology – these are almost totally lacking in humanity. Humanity is therefore subhuman from lack of genuine intelligence. The vast majority are not evolving; they do not have a viable learning process; they are stuck in first paradigm; they automatically reject any emergent facts or realities that do not fit their brain dead cognitive pattern of belief and disbelief. They watch too much television.



This very article, this particular website, is unpopular for all the wrong reasons. Greater truth is a problem in the sociology of knowledge. Any rare individual who is doing real thinking, metaphysical exploration and cosmic learning has experienced the peculiar isolation that comes with having to get along in daily life without meaningful dialogue or shared real inquiry. The people in one’s life are pre-philosophical, pre-inquiry, pre-evolutionary, pre-learning. They just haven’t got it in them. They are helpless victims of collective hypnosis. Yet most of them imagine they “think for themselves” because they avoid questioning a real thinker when they encounter one. Scientists and professional people, for instance, imagine they are quite brilliantly intelligent, though in actual fact they are rather arrogant and limited in their so-called “thinking”. The same thing is true of management consultants with their self-selected positions as experts on human learning in both individuals and groups. Business leaders in particular are often the most pseudo-philosophical representatives of learning disabilities on the planet. We cannot give to them what they believe they have already got. They, along with the political leaders, are wrecking the planet with their proud stupidities, but they refuse to see obvious things. This refusal has all the earmarks of cognitive dissonance. Most of them do not even know what that term means. It is all part of the anti-ontological conspiracy that pervades humanity as an unconscious collusion, a zombie jamboree.



Truth is greater than man. Truth is beyond social acceptance. Truth is maladjusted and cannot fit into the massively dumb patterns of ordinary relationships and activities. Greater truth is an unheeded voice in the desert, a superhuman entity of the Unknown who no one on Earth wants to meet. Greater truth cannot come to those who never bring up the possibility of it to one another. How can there be learning when learning is itself an undiscussible surrounded by self-protective defensive routines?



A lack of self-starting initiative in both philosophy and something beyond philosophy like Zen, is the other side of a self-inhibiting willful ignorance, a refusal to learn. Those who find the energy or spirit of inquiry mysterious, perplexing or inaccessible, secretly want it mysterious, perplexing or inaccessible. Cultivating confusion about all this is the easy method of remaining confused. There is no better way to avoid learning than through maintaining a posture of confusion, of playing dumb. People do not inquire beyond their knowledge because they do not want to have any disturbing shift in their knowledge pattern. The cognitive system is calm and stable through avoiding any disturbing new truth. When the juice of information is running in the same old grooves and ruts, the boring member of society can feel confident, sociable and witty. The protective shield of confusion requires being too busy to think beyond the current pattern of consensus reality. The slight learning that will take place will come only from shock, but humanity drifts into catastrophe more easily than it learns from the shocking aftermath. Lack of ontological initiative is deadly, invariably fatal, but most people do not want to ask advice from their inevitable death. It is always easier to be “interested” in philosophy and metaphysics than to develop originary ontological initiative. Many books on philosophy, Zen and far-out subjects can be read at one’s convenience as a noble avoidance of real thinking and meditation. Adding to one’s existing knowledge pattern is not shifting it, not learning, not full cycles of deconstruction and reconstruction, not genuine exploration of the Unknown, not merging with the Unknowable.



The lack of initiative in consciousness, the deliberate suppression of energetic awakening, is the fundamental tragedy of ordinary human existence. Without the spirit of inquiry (which means daily drifting in an unmagical life) the average human being is committing spiritual suicide. Any real thinker who is awake to all this will have to directly witness this ugly problem in his or her personal relationships. The stupid stare of heedlessness becomes a heavily familiar sight, an ever-present heaviness of the psychic atmosphere. It becomes tempting to deny one’s human needs if it would liberate oneself from the company of self-enclosed, thoughtless and deliberately confused idiots who cannot understand why one is so seriously provocative about philosophical and evolutionary issues. This is why one of the principles of the Sufi Way is solitude-in-company. It is because the companions are not going to be inquiring, thinking and learning. They are going to remain stuck in their self-enclosed head trips and their shallow talk when one is not around. They are going to stonewall any real thinker/explorer in their company, even if they are emotionally attached to the physical body and personality of such a real human being. The common anti-ontological conspiracy becomes the unconscious psychological torturing of anyone who has begun to awaken and exercise genuine intelligence. Therefore, it requires an immense psychological strength to exercise personal philosophical and spiritual initiative on the-planet-of-the-apes we call Earth. One becomes a local alien like The Man Who Fell To Earth.



Truth is greater than man, so it becomes a long, lonely and difficult road for an authentic human being who is in the world but not of the world. The sociology of knowledge is a misnomer. The sociology of ignorance is a more clear perspective. The psychological pressures that come with the awakening of genuine inquiry into greater truth are indeed daunting. The loss of normalcy can become a prolonged personal devastation requiring extraordinary strategies for personal survival. Many of the teachings of the New Seer, Juan Matus, as given to Carlos Castaneda, were in and around this problem. The warrior-traveler, the explorer of the extraordinary unknown, will have to deal with terrible tensions in all the necessary ordinary relationships with the mentally blind and dull, the neurotic and shallow, the silly and proud. People can be emotional or nasty, but they are incapable of learning.



In a world where a university education is false and for the most part useless, it is difficult to find an alternative route up Mount Analogue. The university student needs an inquiry into greater realities that his or her professors cannot handle. To keep alive real learning while simultaneously having to accumulate false learning is no easy task. One lives the life of a cognitive double agent. One has to be convincingly post-modern and skeptical to avoid being socially martyred over real metaphysics. This is because Truth is going to remain greater than man, which will inevitably cause pain in your personal relationships.

COPING WITH AVERAGE HUMAN MINDS IN THE PRESENT DESTRUCTIVE WORLD

by GARY CHICOINE


A deluded mind caught up in gullibilty toward the surrounding world will usually insist, even quite angrily, that it knows exactly what it is doing. No matter how many real facts we present to such a mind, it will refuse to see the truth of either itself or the world it is living in. This is why modern society will never tolerate the calling of collective human madness by its right name.

If you are a person of intelligent good will, you will have to notice that when current associates or daily contacts seem outwardly nice to you, this niceness is in no way matched by inner good thoughts or real respect for you. They believe you are not fitting in because of your unusual ideas, questions and perspectives. You will have to learn to be very careful with these government hypnotized robots who call themselves your fellow human beings.

In the contemporary world of increasing police state and societal demands for dull conformity, you must guide your lifestyle as your inner integrity tells you to do, regardless of the consequences. You must consent to nothing that compromises what you know is right for you. That inner voice is always speaking if you are listening.

If you are a real human being, you find yourself personally, literally and persistently breaking the rules of mechanical religious morality, wherever it is the morality of moronic patriotism, bible-thumping Christianity, hypocritical Judaism, fundamentalist Islam, ritualistic Hinduism or just plain technological materialism. You find yourself offending ascetic Yoga, exclusive Islamic sufism, asshole imitative Gurdjieff work, or the Krishnamurti schoolteachers' blank-out cult. You are breaking out of the television lobotomized mass cult of colorless consumerism and the Hewlett-Packard X-Files New World Order. In fact, if you are indeed a truly real and aware individual, you have very real reasons to take care of your disguise. So get better at all this and stop being so fucking naive. The average minds of lobotomized normalcy around you are not to be trusted with your real personal details and you must never never never accept a computer chip in your body.

That you are seeking the truth of the present world and its manipulative governments, that you are seeking the truth of mass hypnosis, conditioning and collective stupidity is all very well, but the most important truth is the truth about yourself and the way you try to operate on this fucked-up planet. Not until the last invisible cop in your brain is gunned down by your most personally important unfulfilled desire, then and only then will you know what it means to truly live in a new world, a new society. Until then you are just another typically repressed member of the dying neoconservative old Judeo-Christian world of technological atheism and brain-dead conformity to some patriotic belief that fanatical Muslims want to kill you.

A real life is a forbidden path that would upset your relatives. You will need to perform personal experiments on your consciousness and explore other dimensions. You cannot justify these to your relatives or your everyday associates, nor should you try to. You need to go out of your ordinary mind into your magical mind, and this is exactly what the government and society are scared shitless that too many unknow individuals are doing, for that means that there is a big crack in their over-inflated grey balloon of totalitarian control.

Wherever two or more liberated people are able to share these perspectives of the truly free spirit, such a situaltion is what Hakim Bey calls a Temporary Autonomous Zone. He describes such a situation as a kind of private sociological uprising that is not seeking confrontation with the state or to overthrow the government. It simply watches the entire lying futility of state and government as something like a gigantic dinosaur thrashing about and lashing out in its death-throes. The government is worried about Peak Oil, but autonomous individuals are cultivating Maslowian Peak Experience.

Robert Anton Wilson once wrote the following: "In the magazine Flying Saucer Review, November 1978, p.17, one finds a report of a UFO which stole all the rabbits from a farmer's hutch. In another UFO magazine there is a report of a close encounter in which the UFO "pilot" looked like a giant rabbit."

I am mentioning this because some of my readers are unaware that their very skepticism is induced by government cover-up of humorous alien behavior. The real truth is that any skeptical person looking into a mirror must eventually see a brainwashed rabbit staring into approaching headlights.

Why am I suddenly mentioning these things? It is to get rid of average minds trying to take a sneaky read of this article. All decisions and activities of average minds are incredibly neurotic. The average mind is an anxious, tense, stressed out and anguished biological robot sitting on an unconscious volcano. It can erupt at any moment with a raging anger or hysterical fit of fear and panic when it begins to glimpse that it lives in an uncertain universe that it wants to believe is certain. There is an explosive neuro-cognitive tension in the unconscious physicality of any average subhuman skeptical conformist, for one never knows what unusual information may set it off.

You can now know why your life has been happening to you all too much in the way it has. It is the natural consequence of your hypnotized and conditioned habitual nature. But when you free your body and mind with more intense and mind-blowing experiences and learning journeys, all the black and threatening events of the world begin to fade away.

If you really want to unlock a deeper escape from your present residual normalcy and conformity, ponder this verse from the Spanish poet, Juan Ramon Jiminez:

"I wish that all my poems could be like the sky at night,

the truth of the moment,

without history."

Spiritual ecstacy is a natural necessity of the real human soul. Whatever mystical practice, drug, sexual experiment or inspiring book or music is agreeable to a man or woman's soul and an activity of the true Will is automatically one with the power of the universe. So you need have no fear of the surrounding world of blind, stupid and boring humanity. You will be increasingly invisible to the darkness of their blind staring eyes, but we will see you with our eyes of light and freedom. Those who do not see you truly will not see you at all. They will not even know you are gone.

In deepest truth you have a duty to prove to yourself (if no one else) that you have the free intelligence and spiritual power to overcome the rules of the common herd. You must discover your swardharma, your own inner law, and you must do this without giving into hatred and resentment towards the helpless and inferior people who uphold law and custom in any society. A Jewish Zaddik of the Hassadim has put this perfectly: "A man may enjoy all good things and still mortify himself blissfully. He may look wherever he will and still remain within his magic circle. For in all things he preserves the secret Name of God. He may stand unmoving in prayer so that none can notice his service, but secretly his spirit burns, and he shouts in silence."

The average, everday being-here cannot cannot comprehend these things at all, but you can, if you will. The free thinker is like a shaman who flies up and out the smoke-hole at a fory-five degree angle to the normal universe. This leap beyond the black-hearted New World Order of time and collective karma is what all this is really about for those who are truly alive in the spirit. The world is not at all what it seems to be and reality isn't what it used to be.

The nagual shaman sorcerer, Juan Matus, once said, "Man's possibilities are so vast and mysterious that warriors, rather than thinking about them, have chosen to explore them, with no hope of ever understanding them...Sometime you need to let yourself go so your personal power can merge with the power of the night, of the dark unknown or void."

Now, I cannot really do much more for you until I have put you in touch with something very interesting about yourself. Would you be willing to do a strange little mental experiment?

OK, good. Now visualize that you have become very, very, old - more extremely old than you would normally think of it. Picture that you are 120 years old and totally emaciated. You are sitting in an easy chair in some very tattered but favorite old clothes. There is a book open on your lap, but your eyes are extremely weak, even through your thick spectacles. You feel extremely exhausted and have been taking longer than usual naps in your chair lately. Mostly you just sleep and dream and occasionally there is a great deal of painful ache in your old body. Also, you cannot hear very well and your memory fails too much all the time, which has become increasingly embarrassing these past twenty years, if not earlier.

Suddenly you find yourself startled awake and alert. You are desperately trying to remember the title of the book you have been reading. Finally you manage to close the book and turn it to read the cover. And there it is in bold letters:

"Mindfucking: An Autobiography

By I.M. Mindfucker"

Having registered this, you begin to realize that you are at last actually dying. You begin to wish that you were back here on the web, reading this article the way you first did so very long ago when you knew deep down inside that you were all too normal and believing of the world, but were unsure what to do about it.
