The Human Being



The term, 'The Human Being', might seem, rather, obtrusive, as a title, for this, entry, but, in many ways, most, do not, really, know, what truly, encompasses, the, Human Being [and not, 'The Human']. The Human Being, in many ways, is really, a, religious Being, with regards, to, one, primary descriptor: Order. In many ways, what most, call, The Human Being, is, in fact, an, orderly Being, who, very much, understands, Order, and is led, by it, in everything, they do.

In this entry, we shall, attempt, to describe, the Human, as, a Human Being [and driven, by, Order], and especially, the desire to manifest it. In many ways, the Human Being [and not, The Human], is at, the heart, of, Civilization itself, and it is, possible, for rather, intelligent people (not), to understand, order, and hence, be, less civilized [than those, understanding, order].

Order, is in, many ways [seeking it, that is], a rather, religious, endeavour, and forms, a part, of, Religion, that is, never, truly, taught today, and has been, relegated, to what, some call, sects, or even, cults. In many ways, most, out there, have given, away, their very, lives, by allowing, Government [in one form, or another], to dictate, to them, what Order is. In the past, this was, done, rather, religiously, and Government, was, in many ways, based, on religion itself.

There are 4, main kinds, of Order, that define, the, Human Being, and in, many ways too, defining them [this means, that, people, out there, can acknowledge, that, you are, different (even radically), from them, due, to the order, you possess]. The four orders, that truly, today, define, a Human Being, are: Religious, Social, Political, and Economic; and while, all these, are, rather Institutionalized today, in the past, they were, rather, Religious [by nature].

In this entry, we shall, again (as somewhat mentioned before), attempt, to retell, to, the masses [as with Region], what, traditionally (really), has been, the very, basis, of Order, in the, regions, they live in [and in many ways too, making them, rather, independent (other than, Regulation, by a, religious body, even, Government)].


Religious Order:

In most ways, Religious Order, can be, explained, as its, being, the manifestation, of any, thoughts, principles, and practises, we possess. In many ways really, Religious Order, helps us think up, thoughts, practises and principles, that are, necessary, for us, to enhance, ourselves [and move on forward] [in many ways too, this, should not be, confused, with acquiring, the, major, Thoughts, Principles, and Practises, that drive, Civilization forward, and often, very much, Art based].

In many ways, possessing, Religious Order, can be called, Self-Religion, as it is, the main, manner, by which, we look, at ourselves, and even, judge ourselves [as with, regards, to Good and Evil]. In all, Religious Order [and the other forms, of Order], should be, seen, as stemming, from, Religion [as Wisdom], and therefore, what, is presented below, are actually, sects [of all forms], that stem, from, Religion itself [as Wisdom].

Below, are the various, sects, by Region, which, in many ways, stem, from, Religion [as Wisdom], and are, in many ways, at the core, of, seeing ourselves, as, either, Heaven-bound, or even, Hell-bound [in all, Religious Order].

North America: Mormonism
South America: Lutheranism
Europe: Gnosticism
Africa: Judaism
South East Asia: Baha'i
East Asia: Confucianism
Middle East: Mohammedan

In all really, the above, religious sects, ascribe, to what, they call, Asceticism, and are, the main, ways, that folks [in different Regions, of the world], can learn, what, really, encompasses, right from wrong [via, personal insight].


Economic Order:

Economic order, in many ways, regulates, what, constitutes, our, Motivations, Interests, and Wishes, as, Individuals. In many ways too, it regulates, what, some call, Architectural Design, and even, Architecture itself. In many ways, an Order, that, even, regulates, our home lives. In all really, if you do not, have, faith, in yourself [as with, making wealth], then, you really want to, seek out, a religious sect, that, can give you, this, faith/wisdom, in achieving, all your, financial dreams [this, should not be seen, as being, the same, as self-help, as self-help, is associated, with Will (and the desire, to live life itself)].

North America: Roman Catholicism
(this, in many ways, is the only, legitimate, form, of Catholicism, as it is, truly, based, on the worship, of Mary)
South America: Christian Marian sects
(such as, the, Franciscans, and, Dominicans, whom, in many ways, are assocaited, with, the worship, of, the Madonnas)
Europe: Tantric Buddhism (and not, Tantra, or even, Tantra Buddhism)
Africa: Islamic sects (such as those, seen, in, the Sudan; e.g. the Khatmiya sect)
South East Asia: Shaivaism (based, on, the worship, of, Shiva)
East Asia: Daoism
Middle East: Vaishnavism

These cults, in many ways, represent, Economic order, from, the individual, perspective. In most ways, Governments, seeking to, re-invigorate, their, economies, should really, perhaps, seek to, do so, from, the individual perspective, as with, the above cults. In most ways, the very way, Economies, were organized, in, the past, allowing, for an even, distribution, of wealth (amongst all). Many of the cults, above, might seem, a surprise, but should not, be so. Tantric Buddhism, does fit well, with, European culture, as it is, highly, based on, enhancing, creativity [European culture, has always been, weakest, in its, home life, and this, has always, been, the main source, of, instability, in Europe]. Vaishinavism, is also, deemed right, for, the Middle East, as it is, a, rather, individual practice, and highly, associated, with, mystical figures, in, Mughal tradition [in many ways too, one, of its primary texts, is, the Bhagavad Gita] [The Middle East, as a region, does lack, proper, Economic organization/order, due, to the highly, individual, nature, of the Region itself] [Vaishinavism, is believed, to take, care, of this].


[In many ways, one should not, think, that all this, is, too much, religion, as the above, cults, do follow through, from, the above, sects [Religious Order], and one too, should seek, to understand, that, they truly (the 'sects'), only, consist, of, ideologies, beliefs, and doctrines (as associated, with, Order); Ideologies/doctrines/beliefs, that follow, from, each other (as in, meshing well), and all, really, arising, from, Religion (as Wisdom). Also, it should be said, that one, should not, believe, all this, too much, religious practise, as, the beliefs/doctrines/ideologies, of these, 'sects', are mainly, in the form, of, texts, music, and even, literature (some of this, actually, been rather, secretive)].


Political Order:

Religion, as associated, with, Political Order, is very much, religion, as based, on, helping, define/acquire, what, they call, Needs, Resources, and, Supplies. In many ways, the Religion itself, defines, what, these are, and also, helps (as with thought), on how, to, acquire them. In all, Religion, as a tool, for, management (politically).

North America: Presbyterian Protestantism
South America: Umbanda
Europe: Jesuit Doctrine
Africa: African Religions
South East Asia: Sikhism
East Asia: Taoism
Middle East: Islamic Divination

Umbanda, should not, seem, a big, surprise to many, as it is, very much, a religion, misunderstood, by most. Believed, to be, of, 'Bantu' origins [as with, Angola], it is actually, a, religion, based on, Portuguese religious thought [and even too, somewhat, Swahili]. It is a, religion, that is, highly, based, on Dance, and in, many ways, teaches, religious thought [as with, organization too], from, the sophisticated Dance forms, created [as for example, Tango groups (as religious groups), once ruled, over, Argentina, as did, Capoeira groups (in Brazil)]. In many ways, Dance, that teaches, organization (as with, forms, of intelligence, imparted), as with regards too, to the Dance forms (themselves), and the Schools (organizations), they were associated with [all this too, should not, be, thought down upon, as most, of, the above, mentioned, Religious 'sects', are actually, based, on, Art (in one way, or another)] [Presbyterianism, is, for example, associated, with, Song/Singing, while, the Jesuits, were reknowed, Painters] [Traditionally, in Europe, secret, Dance based, societies (such as, the, Freemasons), were responsible, for, Political Order]. Islamic Divination, is a rather, unknown, practise, but one, of, the most, powerful, forms, of, divination [out there], and in, some cases too, rather, magical [as with, djinn spirits] [Divination, based on, Poetry].


Social Order:

The arena, of, Social Order, is known, to most, as, most, Religions out there [Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, secular Buddhism etc.], all, pertain, to enforcing, a, Social Order. In many ways, this area, has often, been, considered, the starting point, of, Civilization, as most, civilizations, out there, are based, on, the belief, that, Man, is very much, a, 'Social Beast'. In many ways, religion, is based, on, enforcing, Social Order, as with, Morals/Virtue, Ethics/Virtue, and finally, Morality/Virtuosity. We live today, in, a very, image, driven world, and religions, in this group, are based really, on, regulating, the Images, we see, in society today.

This Social Order [and associated religions], are also, very much, based, on what, they call, Intimacy (as with, aesthetic issues), and also, very much, Style and Design. In many ways, the Social Images, that we, project (or create for ourselves), should be, regulated, by religions (in this group), as based, on, Social Order.

It is in this group too, that one finds, that, practising religions [from other parts, of the world], can, be allowed, as long as, the people, in a Region, do admit, that, there is, a basic, social identity/culture, that all, ascribe too, and, is in fact, regulated, by even, outside religions.

Below, rather than, recommending, Religions [by Region], we shall, instead, recommend, basic cultures (that are, highly adaptable, to different people), as the basis, of, creating, Civilization [by Regions (and by which, Religion, can be used, to moderate them)] [in many ways too, it has been, advised, that Islam (as with, Islam, Sharia, and Sufism), be considered, by, the majority, out there, as the, social Religions (of choice), as they are, rather, advanced, in their ways] [other social based Religions, such as, Hinduism, are rather, backward, in nature today]

[One should not, believe, that all, the above, is rather, limiting, as all, the above, 'sects', can be, divided, into many, other, sects, as with, regards, to, personal culture (as with personal thoughts)] [in all (for example), Mormonism, appears, in very, many forms]

The cultures recommended below, are recommended for, their vibrancy, and the, basic belief, that, not only, are they, the, origins, of, Civilization [as seen, in various Regions], but also, the best, in uniting, different people (in a Region) [as they are seen, to encompass, all, the cultures, in, the respective Regions]. A primary, social marker [as with, Dress, or even, Figures], will also, be, ascribed, to each (culture), and those, in it, should, very much, see, these markers, as symbols, to strongly, identify with, socially [and in general, in overall too] [These markers, give, one strength, and self-esteem, as especially, with, Social history, which some, see, as the most, important, form, of history (as with, self-esteem)].

North America: Newfoundland & Labrador / Conquistador

Newfoundland & Labrador, is a region, found, in Canada, that, in many ways, is, very traditional [as with, Americanista really], in its ways. It is an area, that appears, to, mesh together, different, cultures (some believed European), to create, a rather, unique, North American, culture (falsely believed, to be mainly of, European origins). In many ways, North Americans (all), will find, that, they do feel, that, they belong (all), in, Newfoundland & Labrador. The Conquistador, as, a North American, emblem, appears, to very much too, mesh, together, with what, they call, Welsh culture [in North America] [As with, Red Green perhaps]. In all, what is been said, is that, Newfoundland & Labrador, should be, considered, the base culture, for, forming, various, social identities, seen, in North America, rather than, MTV [and other, such, Media].

[all this, as mentioned above, can be, regulated, by, an social Religion (out there), giving rise, to various, sub-cultures].

South America: Flamenco / Matador

For South America, it is believed, that, Flamenco culture, be, seen, as the base culture, to unite, all, South Americans, socially [as with figures/identities, created]. In many ways, this is not, much, of a surprise, as, alot, of, South American, cultures, have been, influenced, by, Spanish dress. In many ways too, all, South Americans, should, basically, see themselves, as being, Matadors [at heart] [as perhaps, as with, Hugo Chavez (or even, Diego Maradona)].

Europe: Arthurian / Knight

The Arthurian Age, simply, refuses, to die, in Europe, as one, of the most, interesting, times, in its history [as with, the Knights of the Round Table]. It is believed, that, this culture, form, the basis, of, creating, a common, European culture, whose, primary figure, is, the Knight [the Knight, as with, Knight Armour, has, in many ways, been, the primary symbol, of, European, social culture].

[As mentioned before, these cultures, are all, highly, divisible, as seen here, with, Arthurian culture, which existed, in, English, French and German, forms, but also, spread, as far, as, the Scandinavia] [In many ways too, English, French and German society, have always, been, modeled, on, Arthurian culture]

Africa: Niger / Agbada

In Africa, where, Social history, has been rather, the least, developed, in all, the Regions of the world [most of African history, is rather, political], it is believed, that, the cultures, of the, Niger, help, create, social identities/markers, that all, Africans, can adhere too. In many ways too, the Niger, was, the home, of, many, of, Africas, famed empires [kingdoms], and they, differed, from, the rest, of Africa, in that, they were, created, rather, from, a Social perspective [Africa, has always, been, historically, political, and this, in many ways, is believed, to be, the source, of many, of, its problems]. The Agbada [appearing, in various forms, in, West (and even, North) Africa, is seen, as, the best form, of Dress, to unite, all, Africans. In all, what is been said, is that, all, African music, African dress, African identities etc., be based, on, the cultures, of, the Niger [and probably too, moderated, by, Islam, as the, Empires, of the Niger, once were].

South East Asia: Nepal / Kenpo

It is believed, that, the best, culture, to unite, all, of, South East Asia, as a group (social in nature), be based, on, Nepalese culture [in many ways, Nepal, is believed, to be, a, Spiritual home ground, for, Southeast Asia, as some, of, its main, spiritual figures (as with, Gautama Buddha, and even, Shiva), are believed, to have originated, from here]. Let all Southeast Asian, social culture, be based, on, Nepalese culture, and let too, what, they call, Kenpo Karate, be, the source (of heart), in these cultures [Kenpo Karate, differs, from, Japanese Kempo Karate, and in, many ways too, it is believed, that even, Ninjutsu, has its, origins, with, Kenpo (as does Kenpo stickfighting, often, confusingly believed, to be of, Japanese origins too)].

East Asia: Malay / Pencak Silat

The culture, of, the Malay, interestingly enough, encompasses, all, East Asian cultures [including Japanese]. In many ways, Malay culture [and Malaysia], are believed, to be, the best, 'cultures', to unite, the whole, of, East Asia, and it is believed too, that, Pencak Silat (an Islamic Martial Art really), is in many ways, superior, to even, the, Japanese Martial Arts [the symbols, of, Silat, should be, considered, as, social markers of sort] [Many different schools, of, Silat, also exist].

Middle East: The Persian Achaemenid Empire / Cyrus the Great

The Middle Eastren region, has always, socially, been, strongly influenced, by, Persia (as Civilization). The Persian Empire, was created, by, Arabs (and not, the people, known, as Persians today) [the defnition, of, an Arab, as being, wealthy, and arrogant too, actually comes, from, Persian culture]. The Persian Empire [existing, during, the Greek times], and was created, by, Cyrus the Great (an Arab). It was an Empire, very much, social, in nature (and not political, as many believe), and its images (especially that, of, Cyrus), has continued, to influence, the, social images, seen, in the Middle East, to this day [in many ways, Middle Easterners, should, seek, to embody, Cyrus the Great, socially, or other, such famed, Persian figures (including Aladdin)].



In all, as all the above, being cultures, then, it is said, that all, forms, of culture (music, fashion, images, literature), has its roots, in, these cultures, and the, social Religions, chosen, to moderate them.


In all too, as mentioned before, all these, religious sects (and cultures mentioned above), do mesh well, with each other, and there are no, conflicting, beliefs/ideologies/doctrines, between them really, and that too, their beliefs, do stem, from, Religion [as Wisdom] [as mentioned previously (in a previous posting)]. In all too, do realize, that, these 'sects', are rather, cultural, in form, and are, therefore, engaged in, through, forms of Art, and in all really, form, a better part, of what, they call, Human Existence. In many ways too, the above, has been, rather, the norm, in History, as two main examples [in Europe and Japan], can show. Japan, as a civilization, is totally based, on, Order. This Order, is also, rather, religious, and is the reason, why, to this day, Japan, remains, somewhat, formidable [Religious Order: Samurai Code (influenced, by, Confuscianism); Social Order: Zen (buddhism); Political Order: Shin Buddhism; Economic Order: Shintoism]. Included in all this, is, Japanese God Worship (as with, zhenzhen/'water springs'), occurring, in the form, of, Japanese Art, as with, Masks, Literature, and even, Japanese Fashion. In Europe, one sees, this, form, of order, existing, in the form, of, Religio-Military (Religio-Political) Orders, such as, the Jesuits, Knights Templar etc. [seen all over, Europe].
