Post #318 "He Who Rules"

What determines Civilization?
Civilization seems to be all about Law.
What is under Law is Civilization.
What is not under Law is Wilderness.

At root, is civilization not a group of people gathered under a common Law?

or is civilization the Law that gathers and Identifies a people?

Does the Law create a Civilization?

or does a Civilization create the Law?

Either the people agree and determine the Law 

or the people are made to abide by a predetermined Law,
whether they agree, or not.
Those who make the Law are not necessarily those who are under the Law.
Laws are not to control everyone.
for all who must obey, there is one who is obeyed
Laws Divide.
Laws elect, select, and reject.

As Creation is a process of Division,
Civilization is a Process of Division.
As Civilization is determined by its Law,
its Law is also a Process of Division

Does the Law make the people or do the people make their Law?

The Law is about what people Do,

 and what people Do, determines Who people Are.
The Law Divides people of Civilization, of Creation, of Existence,
into people who make the Law,
for people who must abide by the Law 

Does law come from Singularity?

Does Law come from Self and Other?

Law can only come from the Self of Consciousness
that has Chosen Division of Self
into its own Division
of itself as Self and itself as Other,
over Singularity of Self and Other

The purpose of The Law is to control the effects of 'Otherness' on 'Selfness'.
The Law is The Power.

What is Power?
What does the Self Choose to do to promote and insure its Survival?
Self Creates Power.
How does the Self Create Power?
Self Creates Power in Authority.
How does the Self of Division Create Authority?
The Self of Division Creates Authority in Possession.
Possession means The Land.
All that is Possessable is in The Land.
The Land includes that element of Creation known as Place.
Place includes The Land and
The Land's Resources and
The Land's People.
Possession of The Land is Authority.
Possession of Authority is Power.

It seems then, that power, that Authority come from-----------------
Where?
from Who?
Who, which part, which piece of the Whole of the Divided Consciousness can claim
such Authority?
can Possess such power?

Is power in Reason or is Power in an Emotion---in Feeling?
Is reaction to Existence Rational or Emotional?
The basic Conscious reaction of Existence in Creation is Fear.
Is Fear Rational or is Fear a Sense?
Is not a sense that which is experienced in a sensing way?
in a 'felt' way?
It would seem that the basic reaction to existence would be exactly that ----Fear,
and that Fear would proceed Rational Thinking until Consciousness Perceives how to
deal with the Fear.
So the reaction of Fear becomes an impulse to Survive and in that compulsion to
survive, Consciousness begins to Dream.
Consciousness begins to plan.

Consciousness Chooses.
The Self of Creation emerges from the Choice,
obliterating the Other of Singularity and therefore obliterating the
Self of Singularity.
Entity is lost and therefore, Immortality is lost.
This Self, through its Choice has set off the Process of Division that we know as
Creation.
Creation is Division because Creation is Created outside of and beyond, Reality.
Creation is the result of an act of Choosing.
An act of Choosing is an act of Division.
An act of Division by Consciousness created Division within it-Self.
The Self now Divides into 'what Perceives' and 'what is Perceived'..
Basically, this Division establishes that which perceives as Self
and that which is Perceived as Other.
This Self and Other born of Division is the Division of the Self of Consciousness.
The basic reaction of Consciousness to its Choice is Fear.
The Divided Self of Consciousness Fears the loss of Entity.
The Divided Self of Consciousness Fears the loss of Immortality.
The Self of Consciousness has Chosen to Divide it-Self away from Reality,
And it cannot stop or slow down the Division of it-Self.
The Self becomes a Process of Division as its actions are a process of Division
that Create Time, and Create Place, and Create Matter or Substance.
Self desperately seeks what its has lost and we can sense and feel that Fear.

Self has removed Reality and exists within it-Self.
Self Feels Fear.
Self Reasons how to Survive.
Self realizes through Reason that its salvation from Division, from Mortality must
come from outside of it-Self, from outside its own Creation.
This Divided Self can only escape its Choice through Choice.
The Self that Chooses to Create a Becoming rather than Exist in Being cannot
Observe what Is as What Is but Dreams a What Isn't into a Perception of What
it-Self could Become.

Self, in Creation, begins moving its pieces and parts of it-Self around,
searching for a Place, (for Land) in which to gather it-Self together,
-------Dreaming of Entity.
Self, in Creation, yearns to reach out beyond it-Self to a source of Energy,
as in Power, to save it-Self from it-Self and Reasons how to do this.
This Sense of Reason gathers the Resources of the Land which includes
the People of the land and so begins the history of Civilization.
The people begin to build and to reach as high as possible to penetrate
the walls of the womb of Creation to reach as saving Power.
Of course, the Self cannot penetrate the walls of it-Self because that is where
the Divided Self has Chosen to Exist.

The Divided Self Reasons that to Survive there must be a source of Energy,
a Source of Power.
Self must be nourished, empowered,
and Self must provide its own nourishment,
its own power.
Power must be Created in the Self.
The Self Perceives that it must turn on its-Self to find Immortality.
So Self Divides Self and from the Division Creates Self-of-Self
and from Self-of-Self, Creates Other-of-Self, as from a rib of it-Self.
Self-of-Self Perceives Other-of-Self as its Rib,
to function in all ways to serve, as food to be devoured,
to provide the Power for Self's Existence.
Self-of-Self takes dominance over Other-of-Self
Other-than-Self Fears its Mortality but fears its loss of Mortality through the Self-of-Self.
Other-than-Self Fears Mortality through being devoured by Self-of-Self.
As Other-than-Self Fears being devoured by Self-of-Self, the Wilderness Fears being
devoured by Civilization as brother killing brother to Possess the Land.
The Land also Dividing and threatened by it-Self.

Civilized Self has Evolved, has Divided into more and more parts and pieces of it-Self,
All based on who eats and who is eaten.
Who is Created to satisfy the Dream of a Divided Self?
Who is Elite and who is Vulnerable.
Who has the Right to live and Who must die?

So the Divided Self of Consciousness Creates The Law.
The Law will determine who has the Power.
The law will prove which part or which piece of the Divided Self can claim the
Right to The Land,
because somehow Self Perceives The Land and Possession of the Land as the
connection and ladder to the Power of the 'Beyond'.
There seems to be a sense that Self within Self will Divide down to 'Nothingness'.

That same sense Reasons that the only way to survival is to reach outside of the Self.
Reason depends on plans and plots to process and goals, on how to attain,
on how to accomplish, the Dream
that will still the Fear of Consciousness by moving into the 'Beyond', into the
vastness and so continues its own dilemma of 'Reasoning' the attainment
of the Dream of Becoming,
always unaware that Reality is 'Being',
and that 'Being' is in the Entity and Immortality of the Singularity of Self
and the Singularity of Other.

Self Reasons that its survival is in Becoming and so looks to Creation for survival.
And so Self, and so Humanity, Creates and Creates and Creates and Creates,
all the Time Dividing it-Self into smaller and smaller atomic particles of it-Self
that continually break down until just Becoming so small all fades into the
non-existence of non-existence.

Self Reasoned, Humanity Reasoned, that if total possession of The Land were gained,
if through The Land, total possession of the Land's Resources,
(the Economy} were gained,
then total Possession of the People would follow.
Possession would, therefore, determine Who Would Rule.
 Possession of The Land would, of course, need The Law.
The Law would determine Sovereignty and Supremacy
The Law would also determine Slavery to The Sovereign Lord.
This Law would order that All would die that 'The One Over All' could Live.

What conflict!
Consciousness in conflict with it-Self!
Nothing exemplifies this conflict more than 'The Law'.
The Law says that I am me and You are you.
The Law says, 'I rule' and 'You are Ruled'.
The Law says, just as emphatically, that You and I are One.
'You and I are created equal'.
'There is no 'Other'.
There is only 'you' and 'me'.

As Existence is Duality,
Consciousness is the expression of this Duality.
Existence is not static.
Existence stirs. Existence vibrates.
Existence Is because Existence also Is Not
Existence Is,----in harmony, in balance,
in the Immortality of the Entity of the Singular Self in Selfness
and in the Entity of the Singular Other in Otherness.
Self IS Self because Other IS Other,
and Other IS Other because Self IS Self.
There is no Competition between Singular Entities for Survival.
Therefore there is no need to establish Authority.
There is no need to establish supremacy or superiority.
Power is non-existent.
Existence is in Balance. Existence is in Harmony.
There is no Law.

Non- existence Is Not in harmony nor in balance.
Non-existence struggles against it-Self.
Non-existence is agitated and chaotic.
Consciousness Chooses its Existence.
Self Creates Law.

Consciousness is Awareness in the process of Choosing.
Consciousness Chooses.
Consciousness Chooses to accept Reality or to CREATE its own reality out
of its Dreams of Becoming.
Consciousness Accepts Reality or
Consciousness Dreams and Exists within its Dream.
Consciousness CREATES.
If Consciousness Chooses to Create over existence in the Being of Reality,
Consciousness Exists in Agitation and Chaos because Consciousness FEARS
the outcome of its Choice.
Consciousness becomes Aware that its Choice to remove the Singularity of Self
and Other, removes Entity and therefore, Immortality.
In Creation, All begins and All ends.
Consciousness, because it Chooses, is Duality within it-Self.
The Consciousness Self  of Creation will Divide as Creation is the Process of Division.
Self Divides it-Self into Self-of-Self and Other-of-Self, all within it-Self.
This process of Division continues throughout all the layers of the history of Creation,
into sexes, into race, into ideologies, into nationalities, into groups of all
stretches of imagination, into groups of all Dreams of Becoming.

No longer is Self safe when Divided into and from it-Self,
no longer safe when Other is created out of Self----
Self fights Self for Survival.
Self competes with Self to regain its Singularity of Entity,
to regain it-Self,
to regain Immortality.
In Creation, the Divided Self fights and struggles to Survive.
The Self of Creation, lacking Singularity of Self and Singularity of Other,
lacks Awareness of Self and Other and searches for Survival in Self in Possession,
in the need to dominate, to control,
to take Authority and to proclaim Superiority.
All just continuing the Process of Division until all just breaks down over and over
again, until Time, Place, and Substance become dust and blow away into Oblivion.
