Miracle of Self-Conscious Being
Paradox harbors deep truth.
The pure growths of home-fire identity,
brilliant flamings of consciousness, cracklings of spirit,
songs of language, and dances of human being.
Miracle breaching the primate tree-line,
naturally selecting the kindlings of human family,
eonically striding into sub-miracles of this human being.
Only to stumble, out of miracle stride
into de-cultured and de-natured regimentations,
pollutions, mechanical oppressions of fields of being.
This miracle-being of life,
blueprinted with original human being
naturally selecting variations of humanness,
carries on the intimacies and bondings
with Nature and her human nature;
carries on the rejections
of artifice-prison walls of historicity;
carries on recurring human Springtimes,
revelations, imaginings and visions,
restoring lost essences of pre-fallen humanity.
Crucibles and mediums of rebellion and liberation,
in turn, in paradox, bear the limitations,
under-developments, inherent within the invasive.
Un-Nature? An alien battleground of Nature against history,
against obstructions to freely regathered restorations
to any posterities of human family's humanity.
*******************
The truth hidden in paradox is evidenced in extreme passionate love for a mate: it has to be instructed, guided, blueprinted and united with family, community, lifeway and ecosystem-habitat; lest it become madness or human physical, mental, ontological, ecological debilitation. Such imbalance, when in the mind, is witnessed in the West's (in any) extreme obsession with reason, matter and dominational power (mechanical, microscopic, electronic, digital, cybernetic, military, industrial, corporate, political, economic, the arts, and media, et. al.).
Historically, richly diverse ethnocentricity has fueled surges of commerce, trade, arts, oligarchy and human oppressions in ports and trading centers. Unfortunately, such festivals and triumphs of rainbow culture are deleterious, rather than beneficial to the masses of humanity. This rainbow materialism is not a characteristic of natural, human development, well-being and sustainability. It dispels cohesion, unity, organic community-autonomy, egalitarianism and shared consciousness, values, mythology and ethos-- it dispels urban, sociocultural organismicity-- in the same manner as the explosion in complex growth of information, technology and culture itself and many other human vitals. In fact, this diminishment, and adulteration of humanity's organismic well-being is effected by any new object, tool, system or construct oblivious to, and un-united with the authentic patterns and blueprints for humanity's development and sustainability. Not to mention many other vitals of natural, human society.
We have created, in our Time, an accelerating menu of ingredients and meals for family, communal and social disintegration, ethnic, national and trans-national aggression, personal and collective sociopathology, scoiocultural pathology, ecospheric and human decimation!
Part B
Why should this progressive dehumanization not be obvious? Simply because, when it comes to our original, human well-being, development and sustainability, we are oblivious, even blinded and deafened by, even rendered clueless, perceptionless and conceptionless by, the bright flashing lights and siren calls of the commercialized, religionized Human Genomic Sciences and high-science-technologies of escapist, indulgent art, industry, commerce and entertainment! More precisely, human self-consciousness, is transmuted by civilization, leaving it dysfunctional, diminished and artificialized. It is rendered conceptually, consciously oblivious to the whole naturality of human self, and its natural, self-consciousness of evolved, behavioral, social and cultural blueprints, its human nurturome.
Our nurturome inherently receives each generation of new-born human organisms and genomes into natural, human socioculture. Our human material characteristics are received, planted and cradled into inextricable union with our naturally selected (by and from evolved living nature and human nature) non-biological human characteristics and essences.
We are addicted to artificial society; while in rejection and denial of natural human society, which is entailed as existent and vital to humanity through the accepted ideas, tenets and mechanisms of human evolutionary theory!" Incredibly, this entailed , evolved, natural human society, the acknowledgment and awareness of it, is absent, is surgically removed, is conceptually-ontologically blocked, by Modern science and civilization consciousness!
On the one hand, in caustic irony, we accept, either through natural observation or evolutionary theory that every other living thing has a innate path of growth, a blueprinted development, provided for its life-span, its reproduction, sustainabilty and evolutionary life-span, from the sprouting of plant seed and and animal egg-fertilization and birth of baby, to their respective deaths. Yet, incredibly, we reject this for over a million years of the various human species, including our own 250,000 year-old Homo sapiens!
It is with humans only, without any epistemological-ontological-ecological foundation, that science holds that only the material brain-body organism has an innate path of blueprinted development guiding its path from conception and birth thru death! Everything else about our human species, despite its being defined as a social and cultural species, is held to be developmental and non-evolutionary-- held as outside prevailing, human, evolutionary theory! The nonmaterial, nonorganic, nonbiological -- the mental-social-spiritual-ontological-ecosystemic nature, (the relationships and inexricable interactions composing this phenomenal, supra-material human nature and being) -- is held as fundamentally, primarily, learned and constructed by each generation of humans from whatever behavioral, social and cultural objects and phenomena are present at birth! This position is preposterous, within the context of the last 30 years of discoveries about the original, sociocultural nature of our human evolution! Yet it must be held at any cost to defend the empires of contemporary science, education, industry, commerce, arts, media, et.al.
The obvious question we are programmed to be oblivious to, and to never ask! Why and how has our human species and only our human species of the 3-4 million year old human family, in our Time and Age, arrived to such a sociocultural environment, state, condition, medium, complex, construct and lifeway that is sustaining humanity's and Earth-life's ecophere-habitat's debilitation and destruction? Why is science, technology and their diverse offspring still in the throne of human destiny on Earth? Why, even in the face of fifty years of ecological and humanitarian awareness, amidst our Environmental Movement's best educational, scientific and technological efforts?
