THE DESCENTS OF MAN Page 17 …other people in as mediators with the Divine — priests — and religion was slanted along the lines of the desires and wishes of the higher-ups, the elite. Consequently, obedience to higher power, rather than individualistic and creative relation to the Divine, took over as the ethic. Gods and Patriarchality Controlled and increasingly living in fear, people imagined gods, then concocted them, who were amalgamations of the authoritarian figures of the society and culture — the fathers-husbands and the wealthy Controllers. Religion became infused with a morality, a patriarchal one, that was only superficially covered up for what it really was — a mechanism to keep the family members, in particular the wives and children, as well as the masses in line. This increase of control represented a gradual loss of self, or soul, from all these factors; and the process continued, with religion and the elites of society directing the populace of society along ends specifically suited to themselves.

THE CRISIS OF HUMANITY AND THE NEW HERO’S AND HEROINE’S CYCLE Page xvii The Cosmic Soup Yet arriving at that is another thing. Certainly throughout our lives, and especially in our youth, we must expose ourselves to the different possibilities for us so as to “find ourselves.” One’s life is limited, and it is hard to be anything but unhappy when carrying out preordained directives — prescriptions and proscriptions — given from the outside. That has contributed to many lost lives and miserable existences for far too many of us throughout history. Yet there might have been no alternative to that. Today, not only is there no excuse not to seek a happy life in alignment with what one is most able and wants to do, it is tragic if within this Universal Soup of potentialities — wrought of the postmodern coming together of all cultures and knowledge — one allows oneself to be carried along in dismal obedience to the failed initiatives and fearful injunctives of those around us, of those who controlled and directed us at the time in our life when we had little say in things. To go beyond that is a must if one is to experience fulfillment in life; and to do that one must experiment with life and experience outside the bounds of what one is given. We get a lot out of this immersion in the Cosmic Soup of Experience of what is possible.

This is where one’s identity is related to one’s dharma, as well. Dharma is a word used in India to mean one’s profound duty in life. And it is where who one is to be coincides with spiritual and ultimate concerns. One has a duty arising out of who one is to be it; that is, to manifest it. A Sanskrit term expresses that notion — atmadharma. It means that one has a dharma, a duty or task or way of being in the world, that is directly related to one’s soulular identity — one’s Atma. In the West we say merely that it is connected to who one uniquely is. This perspective is the spiritual aspect of Identity. For indeed one’s decision of who to be roots us not only in our culture and society, but in the Universe and in relation to one’s inner psychological dynamics and all the metaphysical accouterments of destiny, service, beliefs, and that amorphous thing related to what one needs to do arising out of karmic and personal growth needs and requirements. All these play into what one does and needs to do. So one’s atmadharma says something about the spiritual process, the primal process, and the Identity processes of life ... especially in the places where they all overlap. PREFACE Page xvi

Thought and Emotion Control After all this controlling of everything and everyone about and now with religion added as a tool, the inner thoughts and emotions of the masses were next to be conquered and wrangled into submission. Inner life was targeted for control to serve toward two ends: For the masters, it was more effective than external control to keep the masses from noticing their enslavement and, in the throes of righteous injustice, rising up against their oppressors. For the oppressed masses it served in their attempts to defend ... even more defensiveness was required now ... against the Pain building up in them from all the assaults on their felicity to date. To function in such a deprived and unhappy state, folks needed to put out of their minds and to repress — with all their might and using all the devices at their disposal, including religion — the pains emanating from prenatal malnutrition, birth, guilty consciences from killing, huge workloads to survive, abuse as children, domination by a wealthy elite and/or by males, and finally religion itself.

INTRODUCTION Page 16 Child Abuse and Human Tool Use — Humans Become Abominations in Nature Separation from the Divine meant separation from all else, all others, even one’s own offspring, along with increasing isolation, and increasing reinforcement of the alien, backwards, consciousness construct, Ego. Humans began secretly to think, “There’s nothing really alive but me.” Consequently, newborns were seen in exactly the same way as other beings being controlled — as just as worthy an investment, and little more, as raising kidnapped Earth Citizens and just as acceptable for coercion, for forced enlistment, in the survival schemes of the now rootless, directionless sedentary humans. All these controlling tendencies of all-seen-as-not-ego were alike in their estimation and implementation: control of life ways; all Earth Citizens ... fauna and flora; other humans; and dependent newborns. They were all seen increasingly as “things” to be manipulated and used for Ego survival. They were all gradually deprived of their status as being conscious, of having consciousness, as being akin to self and one’s consciousness.

To go beyond that is a must if one is to experience fulfillment in life; and to do that one must experiment with life and experience outside the bounds of what one is given. We get a lot out of this immersion in the Cosmic Soup of Experience of what is possible. This is often the task of youth, yet it can occur throughout one’s life: trying out different experiences and possibilities of life. Nevertheless, one must make something out of what one experiences. This is one of the most important themes of this book. In order not to spend one’s life in depression, one is required to bring out what was garnered through that life research and experimentation, positively, creatively — and in a fulfilling and socially satisfying way ... like a tree does in taking the nutrients it pulls out of the soil to manifest in leaves and blossoms and limbs. If one does not, one is like a drowned plant, underwater in a swamp ... unfulfilled, depressed, unhappy. At best, one is in an oar-less rowboat, directionless and drifting, in the middle of an infinite sea. Yet there is the important question of how to determine these things. Of all that one can be, all that one could actualize in life, which are the few to which one addresses one’s precious time and efforts? Destiny, fate, and luck determine much, yet there remains an arena in which one can operate and make choices. Here, Abraham Maslow is the best guide. 1 The primary determinants of who to be are the inner potentials, skills, talents,.. THE CRISIS OF HUMANITY AND THE NEW HERO’S AND HEROINE’S CYCLE Page xvii

What does one do in a postmodern, complex, multicultural world in which the options are so numerous and enticing as to paralyze one’s actions? How does one live a good life, a fulfilling life? What actions, commitments, careers, causes, service are most likely to return happiness? These are questions we all need to address in our youth, yet throughout our lives as well. They come out again specifically during mid-life, and particularly in the mid-life crisis. One can have access to the entire Universe; but while in Form, one not just *should* but has actually come here to do some aspect or part of that, only. One has one’s dharma, one’s duty arisen out of who one is, and not anyone else’s. This is called one’s *atmadharma*.It is good, in fact imperative, to open oneself to all kinds of potentials. But if one does not express it, does not bring it out, positively, creatively — and in a fulfilling and socially satisfying way… like a tree does in taking the nutrients it pulls out of the soil to manifest in leaves and blossoms and limbs — one is like a drowned plant, underwater in a swamp ... unfulfilled, depressed, unhappy. At best, one is in an oar-less rowboat, directionless and drifting, in the middle of an infinite sea. This peek into immersion in the Cosmic Soup is instructive. It says something about the spiritual process, the primal process, and the Identity processes of life … especially in the places where they all overlap.

You might say that this book attempts to survey this postmodern terrain for the advantages and advice it can provide about who to be. As well as what to do and how to decide on that, and what are the considerations one might have in being able to choose more fulfilling and felicitous paths in one’s life. And this is how it relates to the question of authenticity, which is the second of the foci presented in the subtitle of this work ... Identity, Authenticity, and Crisis. For without doubt the most authentic choices for oneself are also the most fulfilling and most felicitous. One is happiest when one is who one is. And this is a notion known to us. One of the elements of this worldwide culture is this radical new notion that one should be who one is, not who one is told to be by the outside, not someone or thing that is decided by someone else. This is amazing and momentous: Our postmodern monolithic culture provides the context and instigation for the most creative and authentic of choices in who to be than has ever been. This book overviews and maps this exciting new terrain and indicates the potential it has for maximizing one’s felicity and authenticity in life. It points the reader to the advantages now available as never before and… THE CRISIS OF HUMANITY AND THE NEW HERO’S AND HEROINE’S CYCLE Page xv

Sixteenth Descent — Work A major development came in with hierarchy and its patterns of dominance and submission which was a monumental change in the experience of life of humans. With dominant folks directing affairs, lesser people were brought into line to work toward the satisfaction of the needs of those above and would have little time left over to attend to their own. We created work when we began buying other’s time and selling our own in exchange for survival. This created an onerous existence for humanity which was vastly different from the rich experiences of life that our ancestors, previous to that, had enjoyed. Seventeenth Descent — Religion This controlling not being enough, the elite added still more tools to their arsenals of domination. We have the individualistic spirituality of the gatherer-hunters called shamanism — in which everyone could work out their relation to the Divine — being deformed into religion.

The consequences of pervasive multiculturalism are obvious and make our nightly news. It is at the root of both our newer immigration problems as well as our perennial problems of racism and religious bigotry. The benefits of multiculturalism are less talked about, though. Yet it is the advance of notions of mutual tolerance and the embrace of cultures and people unlike ourselves which provide the context against which the fear and bigotry stand out and demand solutions. Nonetheless, the potency of a worldwide monolithic culture for eliciting massive changes in human personality, destiny, and potential is rarely seen; yet it cannot be overestimated. It most certainly could be more utilized; it could open upon an entire new motherlode of resources for us in our times. To some extent this positive trend of a monolithic culture and the reduced bigotry and racism come of multiculturalism is being felt on social media and the internet. While those involved are rarely aware of the revolutionary nature of their involvements therein, still the effects of such pervasive sharing of culture and beliefs has had its consequences of huge historical import. And some are overtly revolutionary as in the uprisings during the Arab Spring of 2011, which was shared by many millions of… PREFACE Page xiv

For — as men told themselves — these underlings were less “divine” and were closer to that dreaded and scapegoated “animal” state — defined as that which is “out of control” and “wild.” Fifteenth Descent — Child Use With all this extra work required to grow food and raise it as planetmates, it was deemed helpful to engage children into the mix by making them assist in the work at younger and younger ages. Thus, we began control- ling our children, like everything else, and with that came not just child labor but also child abuse. THE DESCENTS OF MAN Page 15

THE DESCENTS OF MAN Page 15 Fourteenth Descent — Misogyny Since men were being controlled by higher-ups outside the family, they began taking that model of authoritarian control into the family, as well. This was first applied to children, but at this point it began being directed at women. Wives were required to submit to their mates in a manner similar to the way men were being required to submit outside the family. This soothed men’s humiliation born of submission to other men by having it balanced in the family with being able to experience domination of women, particularly wives. Again, we have Ego stepping in to keep our pain repressed, regardless who around us it might hurt. The root of all our problems is our obsession to control and its resulting domination of everything around us. For humans, Ego became the prime motivation in life, towering over everything else and any other impulse. Nature did just fine for billions of years before us, but we began the rationalization — continuing right up to today — that it now needed us to manage it ... to have dominion over it ... for it was essentially just a soulless machine. People lived and loved and enjoyed life for millions of years, but our strong men and patriarchs would concoct the idea that our Small Accumulators, women, and children would be utterly lost without their telling them what to do. For — as men told themselves — these underlings were less “divine” and were closer to that dreaded and scapegoated “animal” state — defined as that which is “out of control” and “wild.”

THE CRISIS OF HUMANITY AND THE NEW HERO’S AND HEROINE’S CYCLE Page xix However it is doubtful any one reading this is in either of those camps. For this book makes it more likely you will not make such mistakes. Which is another way of saying that those reading this are more likely to be in lives where they are here to learn the benefits of authenticity of identity, success in one’s life mission not failure. Let’s put it this way: This book will make it harder to screw up in your decisions in life of who to be. Resources and Helpful Things This book addresses the question, “Who to be?” Meaning, “What should I do with my life?” “How do I decide?” “What are the most important and satisfying goals in life?” “How do I live a life that I will not regret at the end of it?” “How do I live wisely and happily in these most unusual of all times?” “What factors should guide me in choosing a fulfilling path in life?” “Why have humans since civilization been so unhappy and unfulfilled in life, as Freud said, humans live lives ‘of quiet desperation?” “What is our most fundamental and unshakeable self, the one upon which we can build a life that is strong, purposive, loving, and satisfying?” “What needs to change for us to have the lives of aliveness, belonging, purpose, satisfaction, and fulfillment that humans lost once we began living in settled groups, where hierarchies meant all lower on the totem pole would need to constrain their felicity to benefit those higher up?”

PREFACE Page xiv Everywhere you will see the same kinds of clothes, of a most definite Western style — from Indiana to Indonesia, from Kenya to Columbus, Ohio, we see much the same. Particularly this is true in the more populated areas, which means the majority of humans are included in this phenomenon. Shorts, pants, sandals, shoes, socks, suits, dresses are pervasive. Indeed, actual clothes items emanating from the Western wealthy societies are passed down to others around the world. It is not uncommon to see a t-shirt touting the Chicago Bulls on an adolescent in Rwanda, for example. Clothes styles, but also everything else — most notably American and Western media and entertainment — inform and impress themselves upon all the world. This phenomenon would be unimaginable in all earlier societies. Indeed, most earlier societies would not even know of the expanse and multitude of cultures and societies that existed in their time. It is amazing to me that, among all the factors of modern-postmodern civilization that are discussed and are dug into so as to find solutions for and understandings of our current dilemmas, hardly is this factor of a strange coexistence of pervasive multiculturalism set within an overarching monolithic worldwide culture ever noticed or discussed. Yet this cultural framework is not only a novel development in our multi- millions years of human evolution but is a powerful one.

THE CRISIS OF HUMANITY AND THE NEW HERO’S AND HEROINE’S CYCLE Page xv …people throughout the globe. Indeed, I myself, sitting in my travel trailer in California and hooked up to wifi presenting a portal to the world’s mind, was able to participate. I was caught up in the euphoria and terrors of others whose language and cultures I would not, previous to the internet age, have had access to or been able to fathom. Authenticity So there is near-infinite variety and possibilities for choice in the decisions of what to do and who to be, in these postmodern times, along with an increasingly consolidated worldwide culture. It would seem a paradox, until you realize that worldwide culture is this massive amalgamation of all cultures currently, as well as their traditional antecedents. We are settling on a worldwide identity that partakes, for its elements and its composition, of near infinite variation of cultural possibilities gleaned from throughout the world. It would seem daunting, no? And that is the reason for this book.

Sixth Descent — Mistrust Both traumas — birth trauma and fetal malnutrition — contributed to the growth of that Ego and affected our personalities in many and varied ways. Part of this was the way it made imperfect humans even more lacking in caring for their infants. Thus we “acquired” even more primal pain because of insufficient satisfaction of needs. Mistrust of Nature Led to Control Compulsion Altogether we learned, early in our lives, that the world around us could not be relied on. Consequently, we began an ever-increasing mistrust of the world, which manifested, critically, in our relation to Nature and our feelings about how well we could have our needs met in it. Since we mistrusted, we began controlling. Control came in to fill the gap of mistrust that lay between need and satisfaction. INTRODUCTION Page 12
