WTB 9/4 with civilization, patriarchy] “Power became the basis of morality.”

“Civilization became about being controlling, narcissistic, baby-like in having insatiable desires & deeming it fine to satisfy them in any way one wished.”

WTB 9/6 We show our derelict nature, as hemmed in by civilization, in the major epic story emanating out of early history. It displays exactly how we changed in relation to Nature & how we beat our chests—brazen yet pathetic—about our downfall

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #psychology

WTB 9/7 Furthermore, *Gilgamesh* demonstrates how humans changed in their relation to planetmates, to their children, to the others in society, & in the way they thought of themselves & what they considered to be good & true ways to be in life

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #psychology

WTB 9/8 We see in *Gilgamesh* how the more felicitous aims & the more pleasurable “duties” of life became corrupted so as to produce the sour end product of the modern human—someone who could exterminate millions of people as they were fallen leaves,

WTB 9/20 *Nature Versus Civilization*

How did this epic show the first point, the travesty of morals? With absolute clarity the story contrasts two humans—one representing civilization, Gilgamesh; the other representing ourselves in Nature, Enkidu.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/21 Gilgamesh is the king, which signifies he is the controlling one & represents the controlling function of the psyche, the Ego. He depicts who we became in becoming more egoistic, more controlling of everything around us, ourselves, other people

WTB 9/22 Gilgamesh depicts who we became in becoming more egoistic, more controlling of everything around us, ourselves, other people, & Nature. We became “kings of the jungle,” each of us, dominators of Nature. So Gilgamesh is civilized man.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #psychology

WTB 9/23 Enkidu is natural man. He is primal man, for he is said to be“wild.” He lived in the wilderness, actually. Astonishingly, he was discovered through the fact that he, being attuned to & sympathetic of the planetmates still, freed them from traps

WTB 9/30 Oh, sure, in the context of the story, the non-consensual sex Gilgamesh was after,& partook of heartily on many occasions, was not labeled “rape.” No,& this is what is so amazing: The kingly rape is considered okay. Even sanctioned by religion!

WTB 9/31 The kingly rape is considered ok & to be in keeping with morals! Remember what I was saying earlier about the elite determining religious dictates to suit themselves, while christening their desires with the power of divine authority & intent?

While Freud’s Oedipus complex is not as much a part of the modern dialogue as it once was, it remains largely unchallenged, hence prevailing in the area it seeks to explain. It has long been subject to criticism

WTB 9/46 Itself the Oedipus Complex is a “travesty of morals.”In a way parallel to the way Gilgamesh’s brutality is condoned, lauded even, we to this day have been advancing the idea of Oedipal & Electra conflicts at the heart of the childhood narrative

WTB 9/47 Freudians claim that a young boy wants to mate with his mother & replace his father; this is the Oedipus complex. Young girls want to mate with their dads & replace their mothers; this is the Electra complex. [I am debunking both of them here.]

WTB 9/58 To think the child, innocent of such understandings of sexuality & not confusing sex with simple affection—as the parent does—is the instigator of either the sexual use-abuse or the Oedipal-Electra desire for intimacy is just another aspect

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #PSY

WTB 9/59 To think the child is the instigator of the sexual abuse or the Oedipal-Electra desire for intimacy is another aspect of the authoritarian, patriarchal schema we have had thrown upon our perspectives from the time of the birth of civilization.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/60 Rather, the essence of these dynamics of childhood is best explained in the dynamic of *the primal scene*, which, according to Janov, occurs around the age of 4 or 5...not coincidentally the same time as these Freudian dynamics.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #psychology

WTB 9/61 To think that a child of 4 or 5 is sexually desiring the parent is not only child abuse, it is typical of the way ordinary & innocent love & feelings of closeness are sexualized in civilized & predominantly patriarchal societies,

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #psychology

WTB 9/62 To think a child of 4 or 5 is sexually desiring the parent is the way ordinary & innocent love is sexualized in civilized & predominantly patriarchal societies, where such ordinary feelings…as we see Enkidu had...is disparaged & repressed.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/63 What is actually going on in the Oedipal dynamics is that the child, in the case of the boy, sees the father’s distinctly patriarchal abuse & disrespect of the mother—the mother from whom that child came, who nursed that child

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #psychology

WTB 9/65 You see, the Oedipus complex, if we want to call it that, arises out of a child’s innocent reaction to the misogyny...to the pervasive misogyny displayed in all kinds of ways, subtle & not so, in the culture. So also in the child’s own father.

WTB 9/70 psychoanalysts impugn the child’s love, supporting the father—condoning the father’s brutality of the mother & the boy, as well as projecting onto the boy the father’s twisted feelings, himself jealous of the attention his wife gives his son.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/71 psychoanalysts project onto the son his dad's twisted feelings, himself jealous of the attention his wife gives his son. Scapegoating the boy this way, the father covers up the guilt that would otherwise come of acknowledging *his own* jealousy

WTB 9/72 [Apologetics] *Of the Electra Kind*

On the female side, the girl, naturally bonded with the mother as well, wants also to be loved by the father. Why would not a child, or anyone, want to be loved by both imp. figures in the young one’s life?

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/73 Yet here again, the father’s twisted, perverted desires to have his daughter sexually is projected onto the child. “It’s not me! She’s the one who is seducing *me*!” As common as is this thinking regarding sexual predators & incestual fathers,

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/74 As common as is this gaslighting regarding predators & incestual fathers, you would think psychological theorists *somewhere* would have seen through this paternal gambit & stopped blaming the daughter for the parent’s erotic leanings

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #psychology

WTB 9/75 But psychologists did not see thru it…. & that is why I bring it up in this ch on civilization & the travesty of morals. For the Electra & Oedipal complexes are a common,everyday example of how morality got turned on its head with civilization

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/76 I will get into this again later, when I go in more detail into this area of identification with the *aggressor*, a concept alone fertile with insight. But for now, do you see how the patriarchy, like the story of Gilgamesh, sanctions the abuse

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/77 identification with the *aggressor*]

But for now, do you see how the patriarchy, like the story of Gilgamesh, sanctions the abuse of others & slanders the intentions of those who would defend those innocents out of empathy & feeling for them?

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/78 patriarchy sanctions the abuse of others & slanders the intentions of those who would defend those innocents.

Notice here how the cultures of contemporary & patriarchal societies include the same processes of the family dynamic….

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #psychology

WTB 9/79 patriarchy embodies processes of family dynamic] Elites, just like fathers, are to be protected & sanctioned in their brutality, whereas the opposition...rebels & sons...are to be slandered & their intentions distorted so as to discredit them.

WTB 9/80 Tho such repression & such a campaign of slander & propaganda has always required, & still does, an immense amount of power, military, police & security forces, control of media, clergy, & the prof. service class to bring it about.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #patriarchy

WTB 9/81 Apologetics] *Of the Patriarchal Kind*

such apologetics sanctioning patriarchal brutality requires an immense amount of power & control] You can see how, from the Oedipus-Electra projections, that would include its mental health professionals.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/82 However, sanctioning of patriarchal brutality, historically, was all done thru brute force. By contrast, contemporary societies have gotten ever subtler in the use of propaganda & coercive enforcement of unnatural, but elite-serving, dictums.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/83 equally astounding is that such propaganda is not seen for the ruse it is. In a popular interpretation of The Epic of Gilgamesh, Stephen Mitchell, states “we are told ‘Enkidu’s face went pale with anger,’ but we aren’t told why he is angry.”

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/84 “we are told ‘Enkidu’s face went pale with anger,’ but we aren’t told why he is angry.” This Mitchell writes concerning Enkidu’s reaction to finding out Gilgamesh will force himself upon the bride & have his way w her after the wedding ceremony

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/85 This is a lot like we see in the Abraham & Isaac story. With Abraham & Isaac, a natural response is to think that it is insane to think that a god would tell a person to kill his child. That is the child noticing the emperor has no clothes.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #PSY

WTB 9/86 It takes “culture” to force into our heads that there is something religious going on, something to do with God, in a story [Abraham & Isaac] about a man having a “spiritual” message to kill someone.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #psychology #morals #patriarchy #elites #myth

WTB 9/87 in a story [Abraham] @ a man having “spiritual” message to kill his son. Similarly, that someone’s rage at someone else’s intention to rape is questionable, as it is for Mitchell, requires quite a bit of cultural propaganda to be able to think.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/88 to think someone’s rage at rape is questionable requires a lot of cultural propaganda.

Whereas, that innocent child, able to see an emperor with no clothes, sees nothing strange about a man being enraged by another’s intention to rape a woman

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/89 that innocent child sees nothing strange about a man being enraged by another’s intention to rape a woman.

But not this author, Mitchell. He writes, “This leaves us with the raw emotion of Enkidu’s anger...unexplained & uninterpretable”

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #morals

WTB 9/90 Yet, Enkidu is not confused, at all! Morality, for the natural person such as Enkidu, is simple: What a person or planetmate wants & chooses is important & to be respected. Taking away that right causes suffering & is wrong,

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #morals #patriarchy

WTB 9/91 What a person wants & chooses is important & to be respected. Taking away that right causes suffering & is wrong, esp if one trounces the other’s desires & wishes with one’s own. No confusion at all with a such a natural morality in mind

WTB 9/92 No confusion at all with a such a natural morality in mind. Substituting one’s own wants for another’s amounts to domination...making oneself more important than the other. On a societal level, it is called oppression.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #psychology #patriarchy

WTB 9/93 making oneself more important than the other. On a societal level, it is called oppression. Regardless, forcing sex on someone, as occurs in the story, is a clear no-no to an unassuming mind, a clear one...such as Enkidu’s.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #morals #patriarchy

WTB 9/94 Furthermore, that author of the Gilgamesh publication for our times offers a rather jolting apologetic for the patriarchy. He reminds that the rape is okay because it was sanctioned by the gods. He’s confused as to what the to-do about it is.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/95 Mitchell expresses his confusion as to what is the to-do about the kingly rape. Why is Enkidu enraged, he wonders. “Hasn’t he understood that this is a ritual act sanctioned by the gods?”

Let me stop laughing at that before I continue.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #morals

WTB 9/96 Notice in his apologetic for the king both the sanctioning-by-gods part, but also that Mitchell is glossing over the brutality of a rape with the euphemism that it is part of a “ritual.” Which is not part of the story, at all

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #morals #patriarchy

WTB 9/97 He says kingly rape is a “ritual.” Which is not part of the story, at all. This is an astounding reflection, however, of the way religion is brought in to sanction the desires of elites & to rule out any nods to common empathy & human feeling.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/98 Okay, in excusing Gilgamesh’s kingly rape the author impresses his own inability to see the obvious onto his reader. He passes along the confusion about morals that adhere once elites begin inserting their desires into public morality

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #patriarchy

WTB 9/99 elites insert their desires into public morality. Mitchell writes, “One thing it [this supposedly “not knowing” of the reason for Enkidu’s rage] means is that we don’t take sides. Yes, Gilgamesh is a tyrant but he is also magnificent

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #Trump #FBR

WTB 9/102 if Mitchell sees no problem with tyrants determining morality I have some fine & wonderful preemptive wars & soldierly massacres of civilians he can next explain to us... Am I the only one cringing at this author’s twisted words of sycophancy?

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/103 Mitchell isn’t sycophantic to Gilgamesh, oc, but clearly the author, raised in a patriarchy & schooled in its elitist & traditionally patriarchal, hallowed halls has not a clue of the obvious in the story—rape is rape & is a horror, regardless

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/104 Mitchell hasn’t a clue of the obvious—rules of the elite & the privileges of the elite be damned—a rape is a rape & is a horror, to any innocent & honorable person. Clearly it is that way in the story itself, as we see in Enkidu’s reaction.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/105 rape is rape & is a horror, to any feeling person. This is the case however much you might have the law, or the supposed approval of the gods (the ones enlisted in support of the divine order of kings...& that should be a hint), to support it

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/106 As you will soon see, I do not believe even the ancient author (or authors) of The Epic of Gilgamesh are as confused...or sycophantically blind...as this modern-day author about the cruel prerogatives & amoral “rights” of powerful patriarchs.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/107 about amoral “rights”of powerful patriarchs. How can I not simply hear Kellyanne Conway, Spencer Spicer, or Sarah Huckabee Sanders trying to explain Donald Trump’s many inconsistencies & lies in these remarks. Such are the perils of sycophancy

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/113 The masses of humanity having been programmed in alignment with patriarchal cultures to deny their feelings, along with their own perceptions & their own obvious interpretations of events, most folks are confused about a natural morality

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #moral

The masses having been programmed in alignment w patriarchal cultures to deny thr feelings, most folks are to this day utterly confused about the meaning of a natural morality that arises out of empathy & feelings.

READ CHAPTER... angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #psychology

WTB 9/114

WTB 9/115 This confusion about the meaning of a natural morality is so prevalent I came across it most recently in a meeting a few of us had on the issue of ethics. We were preparing for a panel discussion on ethics in an era of Trumpism, incidentally.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/116 This issue came up as to what might be a common ground of morality for all cultures & peoples of the world. In the ensuing discussion, I offered that a common denominator is a natural morality—in line with ordinary human feelings & empathy

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #PSY

WTB 9/117 In the ensuing discussion, I offered that a common denominator of all beings is a natural morality—in line with ordinary human feelings & empathy—which is that life is good, death is bad; that suffering & pain inflicted on others is bad;

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #morals

WTB 9/118 I proposed a natural morality—that life is good, death bad; suffering & pain inflicted on others bad; that help, kindness, love, & anything positive offered others is good. Simple, right? Christ summed it up, “love your neighbor as yourself”

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/119 “love your neighbor as yourself”

There could not be a better, more basis of morality than that. Christ is saying, another’s suffering is as much to be avoided as one’s own, another’s happiness is as much to be desired as one’s own.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #patriarchy

WTB 9/120 I also offered, as a corollary to “loving neighbor as oneself,” for it follows from the first, that this morality could be summed up in the non-directive directive, “You can do anything you want, as long as you don’t hurt anyone.”

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #patriarchy

WTB 9/121 this morality is summed up in the non-directive directive,“You can do anything you want, as long as you don’t hurt anyone.”Well, immediately, the reaction was, “Well, you’re going to have a hell of a lot of people having a problem with that!”

WTB 9/122 *Morality Explained, Confused*

Clearly, for most all of us, by this time in history, the idea of good & bad has gotten mixed up with dictums of do’s & don’ts of behavior—handed down & instilled in us from some outside authority or others

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #FBR

WTB 9/123 by now, morality has become confused with externally derived do’s & don’ts—which are split from any feelings & in which empathy is irrelevant. Often these pronouncements are attributed to random inclinations of some transcendent god or other.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/124 E.g, that recreational drug use, including the kind that is overtly mind-expanding (psychedelic) or wholeness-directing (holotropic) or facing toward God (entheogenic) is in itself hurtful to anyone is clearly not true.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #patriarchy #morality

WTB 9/125 that any kind of consensual sex, including homosexuality, sodomy, masturbation, consensual non-monogamy; that “swearing” & “profanity” or “taking God’s name in vain”; & so on... are in themselves hurtful to anyone is clearly not true.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #morality

WTB 9/126 that recreational drug use, consensual sex, “swearing”& profanity…many other examples could be given & they vary widely by culture & religion...are in themselves hurtful to anyone is clearly not true. Yet they’ve become part of our “morality”

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/127 On the other hand, that these—drug use, swearing, & sexuality—are individualistic impulses which are contrary to having a uniformly alike mass of people, easily managed & manipulated to the ends & profits of an elite, is certainly true, also.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/128 The only things such free & uninhibited behavior (drug use, profanity, & sexuality) hurt are the profits of the powerful & the desires of the elite for the populace to be constrained, obedient, unexpressive,& thereby manageable

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #patriarchy #FBR

WTB 9/129 So morality has become directed along paths, w civilization, primarily to benefit elites. This, for thr profits, but also as preemptive action against the rising up of the populace, which such expression if not smothered, naturally results in.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/130 Despite this, the masses of folks, throughout civilizational history, have gotten it into their heads there is a god or some gods somewhere who want us to abide by such kind of inane directives, arising to benefit societies’ wealthy elites

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #FBR

WTB 9/131 throughout history, the masses have been programmed to believe there is a god wanting us to obey such inane directives, arising to benefit societies’ wealthy, regardless how little sense they contain or import they have on human happiness.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #FBR

WTB 9/132 inane & unhappy morality is concocted to benefit wealthy. & the masses are willing to kill, torture, & war...i.e., do all kinds of evil things...in allegiance to such nonsensical “commandments” & directed against all others not abiding by them

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/133 Again, just like in Eden & as we will see, in Abraham & Isaac, morality does not have to make sense. It can be random, capricious, nonsensical,even. The Abraham story in particular imposes that misperception: Obey,regardless!

WTB 9/134 because we have devolved a morality skewed to benefit the powerful it can be random,capricious, nonsensical. Saying: Obey, regardless! It does not have to make sense to one’s own sense of morality, one’s own feelings of right & wrong

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #patriarchy

WTB 9/135 *Follow the Money, Follow the Power, Follow the Ego*

You can see how convenient having such people believing morality is from “on high” & obeyed without question, not needing to follow empathy, would be for the purposes of warring on others;

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/136 but notice also how such morality from authority works toward the masses obeying in all matters emanating in profit to the elite, or to their ego-aggrandizement (notice how often the truly nonsensical word “glory” is used in patriarchal tomes,

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/137 morality fr “on high” fits w elite’s ego-aggrandizement (notice how often the truly nonsensical word “glory” is used in patriarchal tomes, incl this one regarding Gilgamesh), or to the Controllers’ desire-satisfaction, regardless how perverted

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/138 morality fr “on high” works toward elite’s ego-aggrandizement & perverted desires. It takes a truly repressed, non-individualistic, unexpressive,& unfree people to satisfy the predilections of the narcissistic elites of all civilized societies

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/139 Yet a closer look reveals that “moral” injunctions trace conveniently upon the predilections of the elites of society,then & now. Just as the patriarchal god Shamash’s permission of rape for the king could not be more self-serving to Gilgamesh

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/140 Despite this, the fact that people are hypnotized into believing that morality does not have to make sense, that obedience to nonsensicals is a good thing, shows how successful patriarchy has been in confusing morality for people in general

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #FBR

WTB 9/141 The elite’s success in fostering compliance to nonsensicals & confusing morality in general has been in order to mask their desire to do whatever they want for themselves & to punish whatever they want, however ridiculous, in their subjects.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/142 Conversely, patriarchy’s overwhelming success in deluding folks into adhering to the ridiculous in order to suit the elite’s desires is shown in how the idea that there is an empathy or feelings in folks to be a basis of morality is quashed,

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/143 be of elites’ desires] the idea there is a good part of a person (empathy) that would naturally, as in a natural morality, stand in the way of harming & causing suffering, is completely eliminated from the imagined possibilities of humans.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #FBR

WTB 9/144 eliminating the poss. of empathy] the resulting depiction of human nature as inherently vile & deranged, therefore needing reining in, punishment, control, etc..well, can you see how that plays directly into the hands of the patriarchal elite?

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/145 For if humans are naturally “wild” & uncontrolled (as claimed by religions), then don’t they require these elites & thr self-serving dictums, authorized by thr concocted & inherently capricious & not-understandable “gods,”to keep them in line?

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/146 elites say humans “wild” & need them to “keep the peace,” to provide religion, police, psychiatrists, jails, pharmaceuticals, punishments—however self-serving to the elites, yet in this way justified to an oppressed & mind-controlled populace?

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/147 anyway, observing all this corruption by elites, to suit themselves, of natural morality based on empathy, I see how radical & necessary our generational injunction to “question authority” was, & still is, for the righting of our ethical boat.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/148 observing elites’ corruption of morality to suit themselves I see how radical & necessary our generational injunction to “question authority” was, still is. Clearly this contemporary author of the Gilgamesh interpretation did not get that memo

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/149 *The Travesty of Morals*

Back to the story, Enkidu’s protecting the woman is not an incidental happening, either. We see it is part of a pattern where the values & ethics one would expect...w civilization are completely overturned.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #patriarchy

WTB 9/150 where goodness is equated with life values such as life over death, & less suffering over more suffering, & more respect for other’s rights & feelings over less respect or brutality over other’s rights & feelings…w civilization are overturned

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/151 We see it is part of a pattern where harmony with one’s environment over aggressive & destructive acts regarding one’s environment...are completely overturned. They get reversed in each & every instance.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #psychology #morals #patriarchy #elites

WTB 9/152 Somehow we see the wonders of the rising up of cities—& in these days the miraculous products of material civilization,such as our electronic devices & other amazing products displayed in our markets—as more civilized than goodness or morality

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/153 w civilization we see the wonders of rising up of cities—& in these days the miraculous products of material civilization—as more civilized than goodness or morality...or the reduction of anyone’s pain & suffering or the limitation of deaths.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/154 Regardless what we tell ourselves, with civilization we feel that being good at making “things” is more “good,” more moral, than simple things like kindness, respect for lives, or reducing the inevitable suffering of other living beings.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #FBR

WTB 9/155 *Civilization, Elites...Might, & Materialism, Makes Right*

Indeed, it is not coincidental that in “civilized” societies, material things—especially that produced by the hands & by their extensions in industry—are deemed “goods”

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #elites #morals

WTB 9/156 Why do you suppose so many in modern times—conservative types—give such a wide berth to the actions of the titans of industry? Those who we deem to be creators of the material world around us we allow all kinds of atrocities

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #morals #patriarchy

WTB 9/157 This explains why conservative types ignore the evils of the titans of industry. Those who we deem to be creators of the material world around us we allow all kinds of atrocities—murders, wars, despoliation of the environment

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #morals #patriarchy

WTB 9/158 Those claimed as creators of the material world around us we allow all kinds of atrocities. We say it is because they are job creators or “wealth” creators, when neither of those are true. See my *Culture War, Class War* on that, specifically

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/159 In fact, all those rationalizations of the super-worthiness of the elite are evidence, merely, of our feelings that they are more powerful than us, they feel threatening to us, & we feel safer being sycophantic regarding them.

WTB 9/160 Hence we will grant rich folks free rein in the moral sphere, along w forgiveness of their horrible crimes, rather than acknowledge the obvious. Notice, as a perfect example of this, how George W. Bush & his cadre of well-to-do war profiteers

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

"We grant rich folks free rein in the moral sphere, along w forgiveness of their horrible crimes… Notice how Trump & W. Bush & their cadre of well-to-do friends & profiteers were allowed to walk away from their many crimes.

WTB 9/161

WTB 9/162 we grant rich folks free rein in morality] Consider how the bulls of Wall Street were actually rewarded with payoffs for their actions that brought so much death & hardship to world citizens at the time of the global economic collapse of 2008

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/163 the bulls of Wall Street were rewarded for bringing on the global economic collapse of 2008. Meanwhile, ordinary folks—esp in America, African-American males—are prosecuted for petty infractions or attacked, even killed, for nothing at all.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/164 Wall Street rewarded for Great Recession of 08] For our purposes in this book, simply notice how we in modern civilization, in actual fact, are not much different fr the slaves & subjects in ancient Egypt. For we glorify our “pharaohs” as well

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/165 with civilization, we allow all kinds of cruelties & atrocities of those who are good at making “things”...the bigger the better—skyscrapers, pyramids. Remember, the rich & powerful Donald Trump—sexual predator, liar, racist,

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #patriarchy #FBR

WTB 9/166 civilization rewards its elite criminals] Remember, rich & powerful Donald Trump—sexual predator, liar, racist, cheater of workers, misogynist & user & disrespecter of women, & tax-dodger—was allowed to be installed as a president not long ago

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/167 Morality does not apply to the ones we deem so much higher above us in being able to wield power & to make & do things we could not imagine ourselves pulling off.

The point is that morals become a surreal travesty with civilization

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #patriarchy

WTB 9/168 morals become a surreal travesty with civilization, & we see that represented already long ago in the world’s first literary masterpiece, *Gilgamesh*, in that Enkidu, the “wild” man, steps in to block the “civilized” man from attacking a woman

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/169 What of Gilgamesh & his intentions? Well, he deems it his right to rape any woman in his kingdom that he wishes. See in that how much civilization became about being controlling & being narcissistic & baby-like in having insatiable desires

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #FBR

WTB 9/170 civilization became about being controlling & being narcissistic & baby-like in having insatiable desires & deeming it fine to satisfy them in any way one wishes, irrespective of their effects on anyone else. Uh, Trump reference again,perhaps?

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/171 w civilization elites are emboldened to satisfy insatiable desires] Remember, as Trump himself put it, he’s a celebrity so he can get away with anything...& all manner of “pussy grabbing” & the like is within his purview, without consequence.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/172 Beyond that, Gilgamesh considers it his right to dominate & control his male “subjects,” removing from them their free will, as well. Yes, he is described as oppressing his “subjects,” along with raping at will, the women.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #patriarchy #elites

WTB 9/173 Gilgamesh is king, isn’t it his prerogative to rape? You see how odd it is in all these millennia it never occurred to anyone to question the“civility” of that? At least in relation to Enkidu’s “wildness”in setting planetmates free from traps?

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/174 in 4 millennia no one questioned the “civility” of Gilgamesh’s wanton raping, or “wildness” of Enkidu freeing animals. What does that say about us? About the human blinders, the blinders of civilization, blocking our awareness of the obvious?

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/175 What does sugar-coating kingly rape (as “civility”) & vilifying kindness say about us? Not to mention, about which stratum of societies determines what ideas will be promulgated therein; professed, by scholars; who will be appointed to teach

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/176 what does kingly apologetics say about what will be professed, by scholars; who will be appointed to teach at institutions of higher learning; or whose books, up till only a few decades ago with the digital revolution,will see the light of day

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/177 In any case, raping women & oppressing his “subjects” as he goes, Gilgamesh adds additional crimes. He shows how our diminished awareness as humans separated from Nature gets acted out on Nature...& even the Divine!

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #elites #morals #patriarchy

WTB 9/178 Gilgamesh proceeds to a forest, the Cedar Forest, & he cuts down all its sacred wood. He kills, also, the “monster” protecting this arboreal stand from abuse, as easily as modern corporations roll over & kill off indigenous cultures

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #patriarchy

WTB 9/179 Gilgamesh kills, also, the “monster” protecting this arboreal stand from abuse, as easily as modern corporations roll over & kill off indigenous culture also trying to save their environments. Throughout history this has happened, by the way.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/180 *Civilization & the Rape of Nature & the Divine*

Regardless, we see how this attack on the Cedar Forest & its guardian is an aggression & controlling of the sacred Flora Kingdom. Subsequently, Gilgamesh kills, also, the Bull of Heaven,

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #morals

WTB 9/181 *Civilization & the Rape of Nature & the Divine*

Subsequently, Gilgamesh kills, also, the Bull of Heaven, which is clearly symbolic of taking the life & soul of the Fauna Kingdom.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #psychology #morals #patriarchy #elites #mythology #extinction

WTB 9/182 Gilgamesh kills the Bull of Heaven, which is clearly symbolic of taking the life & soul of the Fauna Kingdom. Significantly, it is a bull. After all, cattle—cows & the like—were among the first designs of humans for “domestication” & control.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/183 Notice also that the Bull of Heaven is “of heaven.” Indeed, in one of the more legitimate instances in the story of divine intent, the bull was sent from on high as punishment to Gilgamesh for his crime against Nature.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #morality #patriarchy

*Dance of the Seven Veils II:*

*Prenatal/Perinatal Psychology, Mythology, & Your Divine Self*

by Michael Adzema, finally released!

amazon.com/Dance-Seven-Ve…

paperback, at cost; & e-book, 2.99

WTB 9/184 Furthermore, this killing of the Bull of Heaven indicates how we descended into patriarchal religion, from Earth religions...how we suppressed matriarchal, goddess, “lunar” religions in favor of “sky” or “solar” religions, patriarchal ones,

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/185 killing the Bull of Heaven shows how we descended into patriarchal religion, from Earth religions...when we “advanced” to incr dependence on farming & “civilization” in the creation of urban centers & its increasing separation from Nature.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #PSY

WTB 9/186 In any case, Gilgamesh takes the Bull of Heaven & kills it. In taking the lives of the forest & of heaven, we see here a humanity, specifically a “man”kind, a civilized patriarchy, at war w both Earth & heaven...with both Nature & the Divine.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/187 Gilgamesh enlists Enkidu’s help, by the way. You see how this is symbolic of how our “civilized” self, our unreal self, took over & suppressed the values of our natural self, our real self? Indeed, that is exactly what the epic portrays.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #moral

WTB 9/188 It says that a harlot seduces Enkidu & then entices him into drinking alcohol & eating bread. Notice here how becoming civilized is being equated with the eating of food produced, not by Nature, but by farming. By grain...the bread.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #patriarchy

WTB 9/189 becoming “civilized” is also associated w another product of grains, beer, which significantly is intoxicating. So, the ecstatic ceremonies of the “wild” folks—the gatherer-hunters, in actual history— get supplanted by “recreational” pastimes

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/190 the ecstatic ceremonies of the “wild” folks—which often employed hallucinogenic & specifically entheogenic (“toward God”) plants & substances—get supplanted by “recreational” pastimes in which are used drugs that do not open one to God

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #morals

WTB 9/191 w patriarchy, ecstatic ceremonies of the “wild” folks get supplanted by “recreational” pastimes in which are used drugs that do not open one to God but instead cover up the conscience that is in forever alarm at what civilized humanity does.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/192 *Civilization, its Seductions & Regrets*

Opiates that conceal the atrocities of the higher ups, along with one’s own, are desired by all concerned in a civilized, demented, degenerate, elite-controlled society, of course

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #patriarchy #morality

WTB 9/193 In fact, the story of Gilgamesh reveals that Enkidu, the first “wild” man seduced into civilization, has a burning conscience, causing him regret. He bemoans everything that has been wrought of his “descent” into civilization.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #morality #elites

WTB 9/194 *The Gods Do Not Approve*

For one thing, remember Enkidu was saving his fellow planetmates from thr traps. Subsequently, the “gods” enlist Enkidu to “rein in” Gilgamesh. This shows the gods favoring the natural man, disapproving civilization.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/195 Notice that here in this epic of Gilgamesh, the world’s first, almost despite itself, it is giving note that the Divine does not approve of the behavior emanating from humans as a result of their “civilization.”

WTB 9/196 In fact nowhere did the “gods” in ancient times approve of our descents; whether it was the crimes of Prometheus, Adam & Eve, Cain, or Gilgamesh. It took more modern times, Christianity, & Western culture to begin having a corrupted God

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #morals

WTB 9/197 It took Christianity, & Western culture, to begin having a God approving of our lives as abominations in Nature. We see the epitome of that today where fundamentalist religion in the West—is equated with Western civilization & its materialism.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/198 We see the epitome of that corruption today where fundamentalist religion in the West—esp as depicted by Tea-Party-type folks in America—is equated with Western civilization & its materialism more than anything at all transcendent or sacred.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/199 religion in the U.S. is equated w Western civilization & its materialism more than anything. Capitalism has become equated w Divinity in America in modern times. You can hear that equation in any religious pronouncements from Republicans today

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/200 It is civilization, & especially its modern material consumer-obsessed form, that is considered holy. & nationalism, which defends, with all manner of military methods, that material culture, is deemed as sacred, or more so, than God.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #morality

WTB 9/201 nationalism is deemed as sacred, or more so, than God. Look for yourself at the worship around the American flag. Notice for yourself how in churches the American flag will be displayed upon the altars along with all the religious iconography.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/202 Back to *Gilgamesh*, it is the wild man Enkidu who is moral. & whereas we presume civilization to have higher morality than humans in the wild, as does the epic on the face of it,it cannot help but reveal that the gods don’t think this at all!

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/203 For Enkidu represents a “natural morality,” one that emanates from all humans at their base—before the priests & “theologies” come in to muck it up. A natural morality which is that what is good is what is related to life, not death

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #patriarchy

WTB 9/204 natural morality--good is related to life, not death; & is related to less suffering, not more suffering. & it is this “natural conscience” of humans, represented by Enkidu, that the gods seek to enlist to rein in “civilized” man, Gilgamesh.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/205 Notice how at odds that is with the story, which has Gilgamesh, according to the laws & rules of “man,” with the right to rape women & oppress men. Gilgamesh (like Trump) in raping women did not do “wrong” according to the morality of the day.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/206 Indeed, in the epic, it is said that the gods have given Gilgamesh this lurid “right,” which all patriarchal religions have done—undergirding the power & privilege of the elites everywhere, as long as there have been hierarchical societies.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/207 Consider how in taking away all freedoms & rights from Nature & all its planetmates, eventually the rights of any being, even human, were no longer seen as of any concern. What another wished, intended, or wanted became increasingly invisible

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/208 w civilization, what another wanted became increasingly invisible as a consideration, incl, eventually, what a woman might want in terms of her body...&what a man might wish to do with his time...or his life. Power became the basis of morality

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/209 But the gods—& they knew Enkidu, the natural man, would feel the same—did not see that might makes right. The gods did not see morality according to “man’s” rules, regardless what men would claim regarding them.

WTB 9/210 We see this in Genesis where Yahweh, prefers the offering of Abel, the sheepherder, & not Cain, the farmer. Remember, as herders we still retained a bond with planetmates; we conscribed their wanderings, but we also cared for them.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #morality

WTB 9/211 as herders we were still bonded w planetmates; we conscribed their wanderings, we also cared for them. We killed them eventually, we also allowed them to grow to full maturity. We did not allow them to roam freely, yet they were able to roam.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/212 Whereas the farmer has no such connection or bond with the planetmates. The farmer exhibits a greater separation from Nature & the Divine & a more extreme objectification of the alive Universe around him, including its planetmates.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #morality

WTB 9/213 the farmer shows his greater insensitivity in the way he enlists the efforts of planetmates toward the tilling of the soil; the way a farmer holds a cow in place, imprisons it, in order to steal from it daily its milk meant for its offspring.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/214 the farmer shows his greater insensitivity in the way he enlists planetmates toward the tilling of the soil; In the way the farmer does the same imprisoning of fowl for the purpose of daily removing their offspring to be eaten by humans.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #PSY

WTB 9/215 So the farmer, making tools of planetmates, cannot have the same kind of sensitivities toward planetmates as herders; & earth-tillers must necessarily suppress their natural feelings—their “natural” morality—just like we did earlier

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #patriarchy

WTB 9/216 prehistoric earth-tillers must necessarily have suppressed their natural feelings—their “natural” morality—so as to imprison planetmates, just like we did earlier in order to allow our ability to murder planetmates—in other words, to hunt.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #PSY

WTB 9/217 The point is that—despite the literature of man being construed in ways to bolster the elite & orchestrate the “civilized” members of society along the lines of the powerful—our literary creations cannot but help reveal the Divine displeasure

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #

WTB 9/218 The point is our literary creations cannot but help reveal the Divine displeasure at said “civilization” & separation from Nature. The Unapproved & Hidden Freudian-slips out into the world thru the doorway of the storytellers’ creative fervor.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/219 In fact, in reading the epic of Gilgamesh one can justly consider the writer or writers might actually have been trying to express their own disapproval & complaint about such a status quo, however in the only way one could at such a time,

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #PSY

WTB 9/220 one can justly consider the writer might have been trying to express complaint about such a status quo, however in the only way one could at such a time, w patriarchs everywhere in power & controlling everything, incl any literary productions.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/221 Such a literary product might have been reproduced, promulgated, & eventually come to light, only because its criticism—clear as a bell to any with the sensitivity & sanity to see it—is so overlaid & hidden with the usual glorification

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #morality

WTB 9/222 Such a literary product might have been promulgated, & come to light, only because its criticism is so overlaid & hidden with the usual glorification of power & the powerful, which it also provides. (Compare Trump’s insistence on praise.)

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #PSY

WTB 9/223 Perhaps even the author’s original writing was edited by the powers-that-be of the time prior to its inscription in stone—much as any of our books today must bow to the prevailing academic & political gods in order to see the light of day.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #PSY

WTB 9/224 Perhaps it was infused with all this glorification of kingship & the right & behavior of kings by the elite themselves, much as one might, as Donald Trump did recently, edit another’s tweet so as to make it fit with his prejudices & desires.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/225 Perhaps The Epic of Gilgamesh was so infused with glorification of kingship & the right & behavior of kings by the elite themselves, much as Donald Trump requires praise at Cabinet meetings, represses a free press, & brutalizes critics.

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #morals

WTB 9/226 much as Donald Trump requires praise at meetings. Regardless, hidden inside a shell of the required sycophancy is why this pearl of insight & complaint into the injustices of early hierarchies (*The Epic of Gilgamesh*) was allowed to survive.

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/227 Just as the spiritual aspects of alchemy, during the Middle Ages, are said to have been covered up in scientific metaphor to hide them from the light of an otherwise direly disapproving Catholic hegemony,

angelsinnature.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/civ… #morality #Gilgamesh #patriarchy #moral

WTB 9/228 Just as the spiritual aspects of alchemy, during the Middle Ages,are said to have been covered up in scientific metaphor to hide them, so also we might see in Gilgamesh during the time of ancient Mesopotamia such a ruse to safeguard the writer

sillymickel.blogspot.com/2020/03/civili… #

WTB 9/229 All that understood, next in this part let us look more closely at some of what amounts to the mythology around the primal scene & the Oedipal conflict. Naturally,we start with the ancient story of Oedipus
