Love's Decline: the One Percent's "Philanthropy"

The greatest Freudian slip of 'civil' human tongue: philanthropy's "giving back"

*    *    *    *    *

Philanthropy flows from the buyout of the human heart;
Its pools are treasons to humanity, our conquest by materialism and civilization


*    *    *    *    *

I. Civilization's Cohersed Social Contract

Giving and taking is different, in the nature of life, from giving and receiving!
Did the material wealthy receive their wealth from the fruits of the land?
Did they receive wealth from the free fruits of the free people's freely given labor?
No; for the land is deceitfully taken; the people deceifully relieved of innate freedoms.

This is accomplished thru a deceitful myth and bargain, werein,
the people are made to confess a social contract with some sort of royalty--
that they need the royalty's skills in order for their lifeway to exist.

The royalty confesses no need, no dependence upon the people.
For, peoples are diverse and many; competition creates division, shortege and violence.
Their rulers are few and generally agreed on their stolen lootings, on their happy lots.
Upon divisions midst rulers; the people must die defending their particular royalty's
enslavements of natural lands, seas, ecosystems and peoples.

II. Philanthropy: Human Compassion in Decline

We, particularly, in our oligarchic Time and Age, have come to glorify an 
odd, disconnected, fabricated form of compassion called philanthropy.
We need desperately to rethink long and hard, this utterance coming through
the mouth, and coming from the rationalized,  buy-out of the human heart as
payment to civilization's materiakism: as treason to humanity, committed by the wealthy.

Arriving on the site of our Earthly human, species' soul, we need to excavate
deeply into our collective, human psyche, reaching the depths that uncover
and expose the deep, hidden, mostly subconscious, meaning in the expression
used by the wealthy to describe philanthropy: "giving back."

Freud largely turned away from the collective psyche, in fear of becoming 
a prophet. We need no prophets now; the evidence is at hand for all who
excavate the lost courage of our species' human heart to see innate, human
egalitarinism, revealed in our 200,000 year-old villages and seasonal camps.

Contemporarily, about one percent of humans, through privileged class,
institutions, and laws designed for and by this elite, have created and legalized
snobbish, greed, arrogance and unfairness; they have successfully portrayed,
disguised and officialized themselves as superior, majestic, and as an
all-deserving, secular royality.

These aberrational, transmuted humans, having uprooted their social
conscious through the above feature of civilization, connive to take peoples'
lands, home-utensils, innate freedoms, and birthrights --innately held, as
innate attributes of precivilization community-- by the peoples of Earth
through folk, common law, and through our human species' laws of
human nature, being, spirit, identity, and reality.

They seize all Earthly and naturally-human treasures, originally
bequeathed to humankind, generation to generation through centuries
and eons, by indigenous, folk (noncivilized, noncaptive, non-citified),
Earth-rooted, folk humanity-- by acivilization socioculture.

These conquerors, having satiated their anti-natural indulgence
and desire for art(ificial) power over fellow humans, having abandoned
kind and kin, i.,e.,Earth's human species; and leaving little left
to destroy, but Earth's air, waters, mountains and manifold species
of Life; they return, thereafter, ten to fifteen percent of what they have
deceitfully stolen, proclaiming and recording this as a newer, higher
form of charity and benevolence, termed, philanthropy.

Readers, bear in mind, that, if unsanctioned, common thieves and burglars
should start returning a portion of the peoples' rightful belongings, earlier
stolen; would we, then, call this philanthropy or, rather, criminality!
Such is the nature of civilization's wizard-elites: the people are made blind
by a curtain of gold and jewels, a curtain hiding their naked, fallen,
grotesque and dehumanized rulers.

In civilization, might is, deceitfully, portrayed as right!
Then, it partially returns stolen, human rights,
in form of condescending love, sham royalty and righteousness.

Might is scripted by modern civilization, in the role of sham love!
Little loot of "progress" is returned; and, this cloak and dagger act
is performed on a fortressed stage of celebritic limelights!

Truth, False Language, and Joy

I.
One true, bright poem
Calms the false, dark language,
Pops chatting's bubble-foam.

II.
History's word and art are sending
Word of artful human ending.

Tech-speech and arts: these dark holes,
Maroon us in false sensation,
Birth our natural, human soul's
Electron-transmutation.

Atomistic egoism excitedly creates!
This, and more, for the artificial, human states!
For the triumph of unrooted, fleeting fun!
To Human-Earth conflagration, happily we run.

No meteors strike; no volcanoes darken Sun,
Alien images pierce imagination,
Storm mind and home, sack our creation;
Slay human nature's culture: technics are the gun.

Tech-speech and arts have won
Our natural, human soul, for fun.

Yet, soul's revelations ever deploy
To culture's darkness: light of eternal, human joy.

Life, Love, Being, Thought and Language

I
Unentailed, our speakings of love:
Earth's human life gives lovings thereof.

We live as humans be(ings),
Therefore, we love.

We love, therefore, we are

II
We think; therefore, we speak:
We love; therefore, love's speakings seek.

We live as loving human being;
Therefore, we are unfolding lovings.

We be-- unfold-- our manifold lovings;
We love, therefore, we are.

III
In our beginning, we loved;
Growth evolved our lovings; then speakings of.

We may speak without love;
We may love without speakings of.

We can think without love.
We can love without thinkings of.

IV.
Babe loves before speaking of;
We love babe, babe loves us.

The being of human being is thus.

V.
Our Sun is not a distant star;
Its within our soul and flesh; not far!

We love Sun, Earth-life and us;
Through these loves, therefore, we are.

We become through these unfoldings thereof.

Children Born Free: Natural Culture

American Youth of the 1960's and 70's counterculture were told: "Get your act
together!" More recently, the acts on the stages of the Human Circus-Zoo--
called "modern civilization"-- are more automatically programmed via an
artificialization of childhood. But, a deeper pondering asks: of what kind, and
of what merit, are these un-natural, unecological choices! These fabricated
choices made on such slippery, mechanical, digital, virtual slopes!

These choices are provided to our children throughout youth's long, dietary,
spirit-being-culture-mind salad of scientific 'certainty', spiritual-ontological confusion, high-technicized senses and perception, digitalized, cyberized
language and relationships, spiritual-ontological frustration, commercial adulteration, and the ego's inflation.

An inflated ego that eclipses the whole human self -- human self as organismic union of family, community, mind, consciousness, being, spirit and culture; all within Earth-life!

Is this chaos of exploding, fragmenting, naturally evolved, human being and
socioculture merely stuff for social theories, and engineered, corporate,
cultural empires! Merely stuff for humanity as egocentric careers and
comodities! Have not our pesonal selves, our families, our communities, our
cultures and our particular ancestors emerged from, with and by means of,
our long-running, natural humanness; carried through, and around, written
historical time; carried through and around history's enslaved, subjugated, 
human being! Carried primarily, by our innate, evolved, organismic, naturalistic,
Earth-folk Society and Culture! By the Earth-life-Humanity relationship!

Dare we evoke, through deepest human restorations, a deep soul-rebellion!
Shall we proclaim that our very humanness cannot be perpetuated, be
socioculturally reproduced, be sustained, for human posterity without sufficiently
preserving our root human being, nature, spirit and culture, all resprouting
from our, original, Paleolithic being! That we must and we shall, excavate our
200,000 year-old ecovillages as birthrights of our human species!

Shall we abandon achaeology of things for archaeology of our soul! Shall we
replace excavations for career's passion with excavations for lost, wide, deep,
manifold, human loves. Loves, once, innate and free.

Earth, Emerson, and Foolishness of Stars



          

           By  L. S. Heatherly


Emerson stumbled, leading hearts too far!
With "Hitch your wagon to a star!"

Yes, still, "things are in the saddle"!
Thus, we regather

Our faith in Earth, now, bedraggled!
We, through Her reborn, would, thus, more rather

Hitch our wagon to the Earth!
Much more precious stuff than star!

And to our Soul, of Earthly birth?
Both, innately, close! now, estranged, afar!

Reconnect our instruments to the Earthly-old!
Reconnect voice-song to Earthly soul!

To our Earth-stuff, from which we're made;
What City, does, ceremoniously, forbade.

Art, Evil, Real Gold, and Human Re-Becoming

I.
Evil is not something determined rightly by the past:
By ideologies, religions and creeds; all replete with evils hath.

Evils leave production lines of civil-izations.
Filtering-outs of human nature, to fit exalted nations.

Pollutions of Earth's evolved human nature, a rationale of reason;
Midst spirit, soul and Culture's inter-growths of being.

Living ecosystem-habitats encradling human species past!
Our own invasive, violating species, devolving as the last.

Close fettered human eye and perception to flashing lights;
Reawaken consciousness of spontaneous birthrights.

How this desecration of our Soul, with scarcely a fight!
Why dark conflagrations in a species once so bright!

Chart human searchings into re-cleansed apprehension
Engage our restorations, Human pathways to redemption.

II.
Art is not what human egoism creates.
It's what the soul-miner recovers and reinstates;

It's dredged up and panned out of buried human soul.
There is no equity beyond this human gold.

No other real work on the stage;
No canvas, clay; no Golden Age;

No other story to be told;
Just our becomings, again, to unfold.

III.
'Fore our eyes have seen the Glory
Comes excavation of the soul.

Occupy! Rectify! Purify! Equity!* Our Humanity!

                                                  Occupy a Rain Forest for 6,000 years
                                                Occupy Freedom, Hidden by History's Lies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(A Word for which an Age has come:)
* equity  \ ek-wit-eye \ vt (2011) to make just and right (as a financial or social
or legislative or political or sociocultural system) according to Earth's naturally evolved,
human nature, human being, spirit, culture, and human reality (as opposed  to, and free
from, any civilization's contrived, grafted, fabricated, biased, favored laws of psuedo, 
stratified, violated, unecological human nature, spirit, being, culture, self, world and reality)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I.
Long resurging heart, soul and culture's innate needs:
Sprout, still yet, o'er ego-ethnocentric desires and creeds.

Long resurging, human spirit's growth, still yet, winds
Pathways o'er growths of rationalize-centric body-minds.

Long resprouting, heart's, still yet, blossom: our Spring-season,
Still yet, yield fruit above ego's makeshift, grafted stems of reason.

Long Occupy! Rectify! Equity Humanity, into a Human Spring!
Bear Summer's Lore! Fairness-fruits, still yet, we'll dance and sing.

I.
Affluence gives toward the feeding of egoism's high.  
Not to give of soul: still eludes our human how and why.

Well-being is unfolding loves: our human being's becomings.
Poverty? The wilting of love-growths: humanity's uncomings.

Occupy Wall Street: Re-Occupy Dignity & Human Rights

The elder pundits and politicians are wrong multifariously, about OWS!
What the OccupyWall Street Movement has begun will transcend the politics 
and issues of our, particular Time.

This rebellion is wide and deep within civilization's oppressions of heart and soul;
decades in its waiting; and beyond media's tunneled, commercial vision.

The human spirit and soul have, previously, waited through decades and centuries
of injustices and oppressions for the sociocultural moisture needed to resprout our
humanity toward recapturings of our innate freedoms.

Toward our "truths to be self-evident,"
for our "all men are created equal,"
for our "certain inalienable rights,"
for our "liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
For all human blessings innately endowed.

This is a reaffirmation, of what democracy, as well as the American Revolution
affirmed: that the common people have innate intelligence, abilities, rights and
dignities. Such innate, goodly attributes, that in the course of civilization's events,
are taken from them, upon the Golden Rule's protection being overrun.

In civilizations, the Golden Rule, is widely advocated;
yet, through smooth law and priviledge, is abrocated.
Midst civilization's greedy action,
The Golden Rule very easily goes missing in traction.

The only golden rule on Wall Street is: seize and hoard the gold,
the currencies and equities representing it, into deceitful pockets, legalized to hold.

This rebellion, spontaneous as a Springtime, is quite likely, a fresh quickening
of the West's Last Human Spring, started in the 1960s. And it will likely shoot its
sproutings up through the Winter of Western Civilization for decades to come,
to say the very least.

This rebellion could, conceivably and likely, play a key role in sociocultural justice,
as important, or more so, as the Civil Rights and the Environmental Movement.
It is, conceivably, the beginning of a much needed, unprecedented, American
and Human Revolution, in unity, against a constellation of injustices and oppressions.

Did the US Founding Fathers intend for new, alien, invasive, cultural growths,
marked by inequality and oppression, to occupy human, sociocultural landscape!

Such forces overwelming us, recently in particular, have been progressing and
accelerating -- through high-tech, commercial, financial, oligarchical, plutocratic,
global, corporate empirism, and other alien, anti-human forces-- for over
50 years now, 30 of which have seen the oppressive rule of free market orthodoxy.

Free market orthodoxy, courtesy of Ayn Rand, is the oppression of the peoples' innate,
inalienable, abilities, goodness, rights and dignities via the desires, and educated,
legalized thievery, of the greedy top 1% measured by income and assets.

These toxic, sociocultural artificials do not spring from any USA nor any human,
sociocultural DNA. Genes and DNA are material and physical; and this recently, popular
metaphor denoting favored, social behavior and events is fundamentally ungrounded.

Language, falsely influenced by the Human Genome and its Projects, has
increasingly acquired a new euphemism for favored, sociocultural phenomena:
"it is in our very DNA." (meaning in our sociocultural genome or epigenome).
As usual, what is "in" by verdict of new science and lingo, is completely false.

This quickening of rebellion, --which, as most before it, is not just American,
but human--springs from our social and cultural humanity, deep within us.
It is phenomenal-social-cultural-spiritual-ontological-ecological-epistemological!
It is not material, genomic, nor epigenomic! This rebellion springs from
our human spirit and soul's natural need to be free-- free of artificial obstructions.

As natural to humans, as to buried seeds, waiting for enough moisture to sprout;
this is oppressed humanity's endurance of thirst for freedom of spirit and culture.
Natural freedoms set fruit in social primates, grown-harvested as natural humanity.

OWS's Human Spring is our Founding Father's and our ancient
nurturing's--our human nurturome's-- resurgence of mind, heart, 
spirit and soul. It is the regeneration of humanity's Earth-evolved,
indigenous, primordial, eco-sociocultural humanness.

The Human Spring now witnessed in the OCW Movement is
an expansion of the Environmental Movement's innate impulse
to save the Earth's pristine wilderness and wildlife: expanding this into
a revelation that we must save--through cleansing and restoration--
our natural freedoms; as being a part of Earth's evolutionary creation of Life.
The destruction of rain forests, lands and waters is human self-destruction.

There is still a deeper revelation: the pollution and layered burials
of our humanity within--our heart, spirit, being, culture, and soul--
this inner pollution is the ultimate source of the pollution-destruction of
the Earth-life 'outside us'-- outside our city-selves, lives and worlds.

Long-live the resurgent growth and triumph
of the heart and soul's innate needs:

Long resurging atop the growth of the body and mind's
mere personal and ethnocentric desires.

All human regeneratings blossom heart and soul, in human Spring's season,
to yield fruit above egoism's makeshift, selfish stems of reason.

May OWS become a Human Spring;
and fruit again into a Human Summertime.

*    *    *    *    *

Love, Soul and Liberty


Oh, our besieged, Human Soul!
Rise through rebellion into a Human Revolution,
Mark your rebellions against a constellation of injustices,
Engulfing humanity's sociocultural firmament.

Resist civilization's perennial coldness and darkness;
Embrace resurging liberties of humanity and Earth-life:
Re-light ten thousand campfires to enlighten lost, human rights;
Recapture Earth, restore cultural Sunlight, and social firmament.

Human campfires mark the beginnings of human villages!
Village, family, and Earth are the basic units of Human Liberty!
Speak the basic word to deceit, to social fabrications:
To all subjugations of humanity and soul: speak "No!"

Speak "Yes" to our grandchildren, and to theirs;
Our lovings given them are our deepest unity,
Our only path to Humanity's freedom.

Failing this unity and love,
Failing family, village and Earth;
Therein, lies our ongoing oppression by civilization.
