A Systematic Approach is possible und desirable

One of the most subtle form of imposing a man-made order over life is the Indian cast system: Brahman created the first man, Manu, who in turn created all humans from various of his body parts. The resulting 42-system of sanctioned prejudice puts

  • "Science" with its holiest people, the Brahmins is said to have originated from Manu's head, on top to rule psycho-politics.

  • Politics came from his hands as rulers and warriors, the Kshatriyas.
  • Art stems from Manu's tights in forms of artisans and craftsmen, the Vaisyas,
  • Economy is run by the laborers, the Sudras, who originated from Manu's feet,
  • while the Untouchables, were considered outside the cast system; subhumans, dangerously bad (2); capable of contaminating the peace (4) of cast members.

It is a N=necessity to recognize such 42-systems as the source of all evil, now globalized with the symptoms emerging out of theri cultural graves, into which they have been displaced over the ages. This requires conflict resolution and the leadership to transform outdated systems. Mere flexibility, balance, stem brain based saurian instincts, keen awareness of one's advantage typical for the mammal type midbrain, are not sufficient for the task of fulfilling one's life and allow others to do likewise - and that in the midst of group confusion.

First, as in martial art, an open attitude  towards what is, in itself, sustainable, substantiality, has to be attained. Learning to understand in it, one can even move on on shaky ground, without corrupting integrity; then moving to the edge of established patterns becomes possible without falling back to reactively fragmenting substance. It rather becomes a matter of reconfiguring one's resources in more appropriate ways if necessary, to avoid a crash and getting cannibalized by the environment or one's adversaries.

In short, it is a matter of not getting coerced by the symptoms and become part of dramatizing the problem, until exhaustion, but to stay on top of the solution in touch with one's essence like in martial art, physically, rather than fall for the temptation to sit on the fence, where the real evil, the zeitgeist lurks as the T=trend or the spirits of the times. It suggests, that whatever is opposing us is a necessary part of ourselves still wanting to reverse the trend based on understanding, has to be left for the zeitgeist. In the collective that is what is "in", and it dies easier in its mass. That is for those who fear learning the lesson that their essence strives for lifefulfillment, while their self-made or other-/mass-determined identities stem from selfish or hidden agendas of psycho-politicians. The cannot be sustained; they merely seduce us in its systemically tricky way to think we can. Only with systems based on the substan-tialities of those concerned, can we organize desirable cultures and overcome the dangers of the zeitgeist. This is achieved by integrating real people with appropriate parameters that do justice to their life- through task-fulfillment in the social impact dimensions of the culture. And the latter is to serve the former as OEGP; not vice-versa! And therefore is has to be open for generating appropriate adaptations to the lifefulfillment principles of those concerned by real people qualified for this, before their end....
