1.2.2 The Systems of the Zeitgeist

In ancient times people had idols, gods and rituals to appease (4) the spirits. Since Plato humans are defined as subjects capable of playing with ideas behind objects. The Bible talks of a soul which evil spirits wanting it, and of which it needs to be delivered. The Catholic Church introduced purgatory for fallen souls, and hell for lost ones. Kant emancipated science from the essence of human being and the Creator. Psychology reduced it to the IQ in relation to political correctness, and Stalin and Hitler sacrificed it in tens of millions of people for their seemingly higher idea. Now globalization has unified products and the workflow leading to it, so that people are reduced to the wages. This allows to replace them any time, and outsourced them anywhere. However, some managers realize that the human potential will thus become the decisive competing edge, once the wages in China will be on our level as it happened in Japan. An so one looks for HR-strategists to optimizes human resources for economy.

The bottom-line of all this is, and studies have proven it, that the zeitgeist invests into those dimensions which are void of human substance. It can be shown that people's substance does not cover everything that is imaginable. For instance, in terms of the challenge to qualify for lifefulfillment for one's usage of power in the world, and with people, no real human being is challenged on both accounts in terms of very bad (1), bad (2), unsatisfactory (3); that would be too hard, or satisfactory (4); that would be to southing for any fulfillment. Also no on has a 42, 24, or 13 challenge; e.g. with 13  in the very bad (1) by the world, and the unsatisfactory (3) by people; it would be too frustrating. And sure enough, the right wing politics occupies 44-42-22-24 and oscillates the world into its cannibalization, while the left wing politics 33-31-11, closed on its 33-dissatisfaction with right-wing politics, goes straight into 11-self-destruction.

Those are in essence the systems the zeitgeist offers, and how it seduces us. Take Hitler, he firstly emotionalized Germans without redemption before revenge for WWI, formatted the Aries as 44-satisfactory, and the Jews as 22-bad, had them 42-liquidated and their possession, and later the occupied countries 24-cannibalized. Then almost everybody got 33-dissatisfied in WWII and 13-carried it through, after Stalingrad beyond any sense, to the 11-twighlights of the gods and the atom bombs in Japan. This one-way street into hell is all very well studied with advanced APS-concepts, mapped, made operational for a turnaround, published (in German), exemplified and applied for the good (5) with reference to the very good (6).

Can we do better than the established communcation (Ce) of the zeitgeist? That is the question to be answered with a systems that allows lifefulfilling platforms, for our time, before the point of NO return! Then Timely Exchange of Project-Oriented Competence is required by a critical number of real people; and that is what this book is written for! If you want to be part of the solution, go on to study it thoroughly, as you never so fart studied any subject before and detach from any system of the spirit of the times!
