The media reported that thousands demonstrated against the G7 meeting held in South Germany and it reminded me of a flier I had made years ago indicating that real men don’t demonstrate.
Demonstrations derive from the same activity that a woman uses to get something that she cannot get on her own; she makes a scene with someone who has more power, ability, or resource than her to fulfill her desire. When a group of women make a scene it is called a demonstration, but the objective is the same: to get a greater power to do for them what they could not do for themselves.
Men are the greater power and there is no purpose to a man demonstrating against anything. Western man has given up his manhood to the government and now he demonstrates (makes a scene like women do) when he wants to make change.
The issue at hand with the G7 meeting is not the power of international finance, government, law, medicine and education. The issue is the thinking that gave them such power.
We can look at the activity and purpose of human existence as the propagation and preservation of the species while humankind continues on its spiritual journey, or we can consider that we live a finite existence in which we can exploit the earth for personal gain and self-indulgence. The latter thinking has prevailed in the Western world resulting in the neutering of the male and the replacement of his authority by the state and other institutions arising out of the worship of matters material.
When society realizes that its purpose is the propagation and preservation of the species while on its spiritual journey it will change its focus from accumulation and self-indulgence to sharing and caring. The condition of the Western world has fallen to a level beyond repair. It is not worthy of repair. It is built upon a weak foundation—upon a false premise. Its gross materialism lacks any sense of human purpose. Self-destruction has begun.
What then can we do? We can learn to live outside the system and associate with like-minded people who recognize the importance of family and the patriarchal structure necessary to maintain it. We can establish societal mores for marriage, community and interpersonal relationships. We can share with each other. We can have a spiritual understanding reflected in worship in a manner of our own choosing. Most of the world lived that way until the advent of Western influence.
To change society our thinking must change. Once our thinking changes the institutions that people demonstrating against will implode of their own accord and then die.
We have the power to rebuild on the old foundations. Let us use that power and
Be the demonstration by living differently outside of the system.
