In particular, we must take people's thoughts seriously, the undercurrents, because suddenly they can come to the surface. We have seen this repeatedly in Hitler's Germany, Trump's America, and inside Putin's head.
The undercurrents can develop in marginalised populations or the mind of a dictator with a broken childhood and lots of trauma.
In any case, it is dangerous not to understand what is going on, and we do not understand today what is happening. Many understand, but not those who have climbed the traditional career ladder and hold on to established knowledge, which provides status and secure income.
New knowledge is often dangerous for such «people in power». Already in this, our society is misconstructed.
Those who have visible power are the most fearful and do everything to consolidate their position. It only increases the tension. Finally, we are, again, in a totalitarian regime.
A tormented population that does not dare to say what's on their mind, leaders in fear of losing the grip, and a dose of classic complexity dynamics – and you have the recipe for an impending disaster.
Sooner or later, the first drop seeps through the authorities' dam and suddenly and unexpectedly triggers a violent flood.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
Leonard Cohen: «Anthem»Revolutions often start with a tiny spark that ignites repressed anger. A war can start with a shot in Sarajevo, and then suddenly, enormous tensions are unleashed that have been building up for a long time.
In retrospect, it is easy to understand what happened when all the factors are known. But they were not discovered while the situation was emerging because we have not, until now, had a correct understanding of the mechanisms.
The complexity mechanisms.
It's, in reality, banal.
The most significant events are not necessarily those that the authorities orchestrate and plan. The most influential people are not necessarily the ones with medals on their chests.
One cannot adopt or control dynamic development in that way. One cannot stop a pandemic in China by deciding zero tolerance for infection and isolating the whole of Shanghai. You can not ...
Dynamics are always complex.
Lots of factors are involved, countless events, millions of small choices. And everything takes place in the mental realm, starting with thoughts and previous experiences. We have not even understood that much but try to control the world based on the illusion that the physical governs everything. It is and will always be wrong; thoughts come first.
Causal relationships are never simple, always complex, usually highly complex – and thus confusing. But if you understand the mechanisms and can see when and how they unfold, it is not difficult to understand what is going on and how to prevent disasters.
We are dazzled by the visible, the obvious. We mask and neglect the marginal. We normalise everything possible to an extreme degree and thus do not discover what is happening in the edge zone, in the depths, on the fringe of society, in the abnormal.
And if we first deal with the «abnormal» and the «marginal», we do it out of fear.
My message is that everything is normal, even the tiny, dangerous, and weird. Suddenly, it grows big because the sheep were unaware for a moment. If you are a wolf, you know this; you live this. Had I not been so injured myself, I would certainly have taken action, like a reverse Hitler.
At least I use my voice. I dare. Those who say nothing are often the scariest and most dangerous – when you look at it as a dynamic system.
That is why the world is collapsing at an increasing rate. We do not understand how neither the world nor ourselves function. We operate in almost all contexts with a primitive, linear model where cause and effect are reversed. Thoughts come first.
We know all this, but the knowledge is only used to maximise financial returns, minimise costs in the health care system, plan for maximum utilisation of transport systems and so on.
We understand it but do not use the knowledge for the common good. This «greed» is a consequence of the same herd mentality and fear that we are trying to combat. Fear stands in our way, nothing else.
We Have Nothing to Fear Except Fear Itself.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, during his
inauguration as president in 1933, on
dealing with the Great DepressionHowever, something is far more critical: We apply this knowledge of dynamic systems almost exclusively to the physical and material! We do not recognise that the same laws are valid for all subjective and mental.
The same dynamic laws govern our minds. In that sense, even our minds are not free but deterministically determined.
We look for genes and neurological correlations in the brain, make pills, and modify genetic material to fix things 99 per cent conditioned by mental, dynamic processes.
Moreover, we do not understand that the perceived material has a subjective cause. To claim something like that is considered impossible, insane, confused.
Animals, birds, insects ... everything in nature has their «perception of reality», which is guaranteed to be something completely different and far more complex than what our materialist scientists tell us. When we tamper with nature, we have no idea what the consequences will be because we do not understand the mechanisms.
We would have done much differently if we only understood and applied the few simple principles that govern all dynamics. Time is running out, to change an entire paradigm is not done overnight.
At the same time, a paradigm can also suddenly change abruptly.
