1.1.3.2 The Mental Space for Arguing

Finding yourself in the social trap of the zeitgeist, you argue for your personal living space. Thus each human being reinvents science from his inner point of view in the hope of surviving the man-eating monster called society, at the same time drawing from society's available tradition. It has taken, since Plato, some 2500 years until the external world has more or less stabilized within its present borders after the Fall of the Berlin Wall. Within, since 9/11, we have now to face the War on Terror; 9/11 indicates a turnaround from external wars, to the inner wars against life, using it as a weapon against life at large. This transition is still obscured as a war among cultures. Its focal point is Gaza. The focus here is how to reclaim your inner world. APS® has meanwhile proven that there are 23 IS-ignition sequences out of 24 possibilities, in order to switch on the 144 OEGPs. And guess what, that 24th possibility, called the GP-ghost-path, is the prototype for the kind of philosophy and its footnote, which Karl Popper in his book "The Open Society and Its Enemies" describes as a curse of mankind! A curse attempts to pre-trans-trap the inner world to switch people off from fulfilling their life in favor of the hidden psycho-political agenda of the zeitgeist! And in such a world, you are called to outsource your life, and take part in sublimating the remaining rest-conflict in order to make good economic sense...

Dream Time und Survival Myths still rule the world:

In the flow of the spirit of the time (ST), man's fantasies (?0) took him beyond the instinctive *3-drive for survival and resulted in common languages out of which collective fantasies, myth, stories, ideologies,  paradigms, trends and bloddy history evolved. We call this kind of history, ghost-science, referring to what in German is called "Geisteswissenschaften". Seemingly on that archaic level the Australian Aboriginals survived for ten of thousands of years in a sustainable relationship with their environment. However, this can only mean that they found the onset of the path, which we are calle to complet, not to suppress; to tune into the substance which alone allows substantiality of actual life with nature, animals and plants surrounding us. This is unlike us, trying to cannibalize and re-engineering our environment and even each other! But please, apart from what really needs it, the zeitgeist formatted minds! Therefore we can be called (mental) mutants, e.g. cursed ones, congruent with what the Bible calls us, "sinners" This is what the worth while reading book of Marlo Morgan, "Mutant Message Down Under" (a heap of philosophy) suggests and illustrated in a walk-about in the Australian dessert. How about us? Since Plato, we still dream under the curse of antique philosophy, moved by the trends of  ideas discussed under trendy key words, in a merciless history (except for the life of the son of men and God). This platonic history talks in fact of errands in a cold, evolutionary, myth driven mental universe, out of which we cannibalize people and the planet; now embellished and amplified by high tech, globally. Seduced by this prime sin against the Holy Spirit, philosophy, symbolized by the snake and the devil, the adversary of the Almighty Creator, we have thus condemned ourselves in what we call culture. Its followers live apart from substantiality with substantiality - seemingly out of free will - but not free of the consequences as the post-normal, anything goes philosophy suggests to obscure the zeitgeist thus evoked in order to keep its pre-dominant position in the zeitgeist...
