'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance', is a work, by, a certain, Robert Pirsig, that in many ways, speaks of, the application, of Zen principles, onto, the very act, of, maintaining, Motorcycles. It is one of those few books, that tend to, immediately, catch your eye, as one, is, pretty much, bound, to believe, that they probably, will get the chance (this time around perhaps), to fully, understand, Zen, as based really, on its application onto something, they believe, they, are bound, to understand [Motorcycles and their maintenance].
Synchronicity:
While 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance', might seem, a bit, of, a not too convincing, read, for many, it might be because, that, Zen in itself, is heavily, an, East Asian tradition [meaning that, it only, really works, in, East Asian, Societies], and its application, to Motorcycle Maintenance, should not be taken, as being, 'out there', as it is well known, that most, Motorcycles, in the World, do come, from, East Asia.
Synchronicity, is in many ways, a proposed theory, proposed, very much, by one, Carl Jung, and heavily in itself, based on, Hermeneutics. In many ways, Synchronicity, much more, than Zen, is deemed, a much better, modus operandi, for helping, explain, our, Social Spheres, as compared really, to Zen (in all). And while, Jung, spoke of, Synchronicity, very much theoretically [as in, many ways, attempting, to put, a Physics based existence, to it all], Synchronicity though, can probably, best, be studied, based on, what they call, Epistemology [in all, attempting, to put, a memory based, existence, to it all].
What Synchronicity, can be said, to speak of really, is in many ways, how, to define, Stimulation [Pain, Pleasure, Hurt & Injury], in our lives, from, the perspective, of, memories, 'timely experiences', and, finally too, 'shocking moments' [all associated too, with, work/effort, parenting/systems, and, women/order, respectively].
To fully understand, why, Synchronicity, is a worthwhile endeavour, to research on, is to know, that, in many ways, it does help, in, understanding, how, Human beings, rise up (in civility), with regards, to, Humanity in all. If we speak, of our, Social Spheres, as mainly being, associated, with, the act, of Realization, we in many ways too, see how, Human beings in general, have developed, with regards, to, how, they define, Stimulation [as 'Pain' in all].
To attempt, to explain this, in more detail, is to show, that, in olden Societies, Humans, were very much, viewed, from the perspective, of, Worthy, and Unworthy [in many ways, all this, defined, by, Work/Effort, Parenting/Systems, and, Women/Order], and that in all, those viewed, Unworthy, were, rather, heavily stereotyped [as being, good, for nothing really], and those, viewed, Worthy, were given, memories, 'timely experiences', and 'shocking moments', based all, on, Work, Parenting, and finally, Women [the unworthy, in many ways, really, lived lives, with, nothing much, happening, in them]. That however, was pretty much, stone-age, in mentality. Later on, with regards, to, being Worthy, experiences, associated with, memories, 'timely experiences', and 'shocking moments', were raised up, in levels [as with, heights really], to those, associated, with what, they call, Famed or even, Popular Figures [Effort, Systems, Order]. Society, functioned this way, pretty much, in, the Egyptian times. Later on even, these experiences [associated, with Work/Effort, Parenting/Systems, and even, Women/Order], were raised, to very much, the, Individual level, such that, most, had a story, to tell, very much, onwards, towards, the end, of, their lives. Yet still, these experiences, in the past even, have risen, to even, higher heights, as with having them, mainly defined, by, Personal History, the Heavens, and even, Mother Earth herself [seen, in Greek Mythology (as with the Odyssey), and even, history itself, as with, the creation, of, Islam] [Talking of, Mother Earth again, is to talk about, perhaps, how different, Days of the Week, require, different mentalities, to get, through with].
Yet still, one does find, that, Society, has in many ways, fallen, to levels, of the past [stone-age even], with regards, to, the human experience, and, humanity itself. That in many ways really, for most today, Stimulation, and, the human experience in all, has fallen, to levels, of, being, stereotyped, as being, Worthy, or Unworthy even.
What will be attempted here, is to show, the, different Higher Beings, Individuals, from the past, that have, very much, reached, new heights, in, the human experience, as based on, Stimulation, based too, very much, on, their exploits; [for most today, the heights, of, human experience, they seek out, are those, based on, Famed/Popular Figures, which in general, includes, Movie Stars,Musicians, Sports Athletes, and even, Famed Businessmen], whose lives, many, attempt to, emulate, and very much, too, live out. Instead, the lives, lived out, by these Figures, should be emulated, so as in all, to have, a higher vision, of whats, possible, in Life, and also, discern, in all, how, the structures, erected [in all], by Society, tend, to limit, the, Human experience.
The Figures presented below, in most ways, experienced, the Heights, of Human experience, based very much, on, their Higher Beings [and not, the Societies really, they lived in]. The choices, might sound, controversial, but in many ways, deemed, the best choices, not with, regards, to how, Life, was lived out [as with, the Anointing entry], or even, all, probable, possible, experiences [as with, the Bibles & Christianity 1.0], but mainly, with, the very heights, of, these experiences (even, on, a daily basis) [A boy, who falls down, a well, and is rescued, one week later, is mainly, what, we are talking about, here].
Jinni: Prophet Muhammed
Probably the most famous, Jinni ever [as recounted really, by, Barnaby Rogerson] [In many ways too, a form, of, the Greek work, 'the Odyssey'].
Gargoyles: Imhotep
Imhotep, is believed, to have been, of, the Constellations (which he was), and while, he did become, a, Living Deity (worshiped even), during his, Egyptian times, many fail, to realize, his history, continues, in, the Middle East (Saudi Arabia), where, he greatly, influenced, the historical Architecture, there (amongst other things), and in all ways too, became, a Gargoyle [for the rest of the World though, Imhotep, is only, associated, with, Ancient Egyptian History, before, apparently, the world, sees, the rise, of, Western civilization (presented, in the light, of, the downfall, of, European Civilization)].
Light beings: Napolean II
Probably, the most, of civilized, of Europeans, as in many ways, he did, help, prevent, the full, collapse, of French Civilization, by retaining, Intelligent thought, in the midst, of, chaotic downfall [and while, formerly, an Angel being, he did infact, become, a Light being, eventually] [Light beings, in many ways, tend to see, themselves, as being, Crafty, but actually, tend to lack, the sophistication, in being so (or even, in being, 'evil'); Alot, can be said, of, Napolean II, and the believed perception, he was, Europes, most infamous/villainous Personality, due to the fact, that, French/European Civilization, does eventually, collapse, during, his time/reign, but in attempting really, to save, Europe in all, he was, imprisoned, declared Martial Law too, in an attempt, to prevent, Paris/France, from being, totally destroyed, by, marauding bands of mad men (in a France, where, Martial Law, had been, declared), but finally even, attempted, to stem off, the French Civil War, (by disguising himself, unrecognized, and supposed dead too), before his being crowned, Emperor of France (as, Napolean III); that was Napolean, he knew Crafty, and that in all, Crafty, does define, Europe (and Light beings), with regards, to, the Heights, of, the Human experience].
Esicrucian Man: Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa
Famed Roman General, who in many ways, makes other, accounts, of being, maligned, rather, tame in all.
The Constellations: George Washington
A Figure, perhaps, not of too much, of passing interest, to most, but nothing much, has happened, in, Constellations history, since, the Egyptian times.
Shapeshifts: 'Original Sin'
Original Sin, is a movie, starring, Antonio Banderas, that in many ways, attempts, to capture, the very heights, of, Human experience, as associated, with, Shapeshifts. Perhaps, another, questionable choice, but its themes, do follow, those, of legendary, South American Figures, and in many ways, Shapeshift history, has been more, of, the Legendary kind, with there being, too many, such figures, to choose one from.
Daemons: Suleiman the Magnificent
Daemon Figure, from, North Africa, who does become, a Sultan, in the Ottoman Empire, and the experiences, suffered in all [way before, there was, Kofi Annan, and, even, probably, the first, 'African' President of the United States of America, 'Barack Obama'].
Gods: Kublai Khan
Helps explain, why, the Chinese, believed, their Emperors, were, 'Sons of Heaven', as mainly, to do, with, 'timely experiences' in all.
To further, speak on all this, for most humans, out there, recognizing the above, must also probably, recognize, that life itself, could, be raised, up, several levels, by, recognizing the fact, that, in much recent times, the, everyday experiences, of, the majority, were similar, to those, experienced, by, Famed/Popular Figures in all [as with, Sports stars for example].
Many today, seek out, the top, in, the Human experience, believing it, to be, found, only/mainly, in, New York, and London [as mainly, with, excellence]. Truth is, these Cities, are pretty much, shut out, to, most [without a fat, bank account], and one must realize, way before, there was, New York, or London even, there was, one major City, where everyday, Human experiences, reached, the levels, of, Famed Figures, for nearly all, its Populations: Paris.
It is recommended here, that Paris, once again, becomes the Center, of World Tourism [as defining, Tourism here, based very much on, the Heights, of, Human experience], and that, it is believed, that, Paris [and the French in general], still to this day, are, at the heights, of giving, the majority, the best, of, Human experiences [in a Tourism setting]. Forget New York, or London [they are misery untold, in many ways], and, if you are in search, for an Adventure of a kind, this Summer, do visit, Paris, for some, trouble making.
[With Paris, becoming, the Center, of World Tourism, it is then, deemed 'obviously', that, Marseilles, should now become, the new, 'region' (point-of-origin) of, the New, French Civilization, as Paris, is steeped, in history, that, cannot, be erased (and therefore, to Marseilles, and the, new, Age of Compassion/Exploration) (The Napoleanic Era, which France, seems stuck in (as with, aspirations even), is indeed, over)] [Way before, there was, the Napoleanic, there was, the Merovingians, and even too, the, Roman Republic, which all, died off, too].
Bowling:
Bowling, is in most ways, considered, a sport, requiring, heavy concentration. One of the main reasons for this, is that, Bowling, often tends, to take, place, in Spaces, that are rather, open, in nature. As a result of this, Bowling Arenas, tend to be, rather, unrestricted places. What this really means, is that, one in all, tends, to feel, rather, defenseless, while, in one of them. What this means too also, is that, for many, the concept, of, Defense [and not, Defence], speaks of, what, one, is Linked, Joined, or Connected to, in, their daily lives. When in a Bowling Alley, one does find that, their, Defenses, are totally, open, leaving them, feeling like, they are, in, a dark room too. In all really, what drives one, in, a Bowling Alley [as with, Bowling itself], is what, was, referred to previously, as, the Occidental [past history, touching moments, aspirations]. Thats all, really, there is, to, Bowling [and probably, really, a good foundation, for those, seeking, to base, their very lives, on, the Occidental].
This section though, deals with, what, some call, Cultural Spaces. Cultural Spaces, in many ways, are associated with, what, one would call, 'Group Realization', for it is while, within, Cultural Spaces, that most, tend to see, themselves, as a Group, and in many ways too, create, Group Consciousness', that very much, dictate, whom they are. In many ways, this has to do, with, Group Consciousness (and Group Realization too), based heavily, on, the Occidental.
When one travels, to, different places, of, the World today, on reading, newspapers there, one might hear, the words, America, Europe, Africa, or even, Asia itself. While outside, any of these places, these words, are used, to denote, Political Entities [as with, Survival really], within them, they are actually used, to refer, to Group Consciousness [and Group Realization], all based on the Occidental. Yet even though, one still does find, that, Group Consciousness, as associated, with, the Occidental, is in many ways, more 'lethal' perhaps [in its stances et. al], than Group Consciousness, based on, Survival issues [What this means really, is that, Group Consciousness, based on, the Occidental, can be way more, discriminative, than that, based on, Survival] [One reason, why Africa, to many, is more, benign, than other, places, of the World].
Every Group/culture, must in many ways, come, to define, Cultural Spaces, they inhabit, so as to in all, not only, Survive, but also too in all, develop, what some would call, Self-Pride [as with, Group Achievement really]. How this, has been done, traditionally, differs, as with, the recent past too (as with how really, this was done in all), which also too, differs, significantly, from that of today.
In the old days, people sought out, Cultural Spaces, very much, based, on Nature, and Climate/Weather in all. On gaining, such, Cultural Spaces, they often, sought, to defend them, by, some, 'Means of Force' really. Later on, the concept, of, Cultural Spaces, further evolved, into, Spaces, very much, defined, by what, one, was Linked, Connected, or Joined too [meaning that, the concept, of, the Community, became, in many ways, Communal, and people, defined, Cultural Spaces, based on, what, they were, Linked, Connected, or Joined too, as with, Ethnic Shops, Ethnic Churches, and even, Ethnic schools perhaps]. This concept, of Cultural Spaces, continued, to evolve, when, the Community, became, totally Communal, and the idea, of, being Linked, Joined, or Connected, to another, lost its, Ethnic meaning, and one sees, Cultural Spaces themselves, containing in them, what, one would call, 'Reserved Spaces', into which, the members, of, a 'Communal', aspired, to gain entry too [as with being Linked, Joined, or, Connected to] [Examples of these, include, an upper end restaurant, an upper class commune, or even too, an upscale school]. The danger, of all this, was if, some, members of the Communal, made everything, rather, Ethnic again [Community], by coming, to, dominate, any, of these, 'Reserved Spaces' [and in all too, introducing, a general culture, of, prejudice, racism, and, bigotry even, too]. Yet still, one does find again, that, Society, had progressed, to even, greater levels, than this, in, defining, Cultural Spaces, as totally based on, Landscaping, Design, and, Nuances (tensions, animosity, angst) [What this means really, in all, is that, Cultural Spaces, as far back, as, the Napoleonic times, were heavily, based on, the concept, of, Design, such that, a room, could trigger, beautiful emotions (or even, memories even), could create, instant, camaraderie, between, people, or even still, warm up, almost, immediately, with very few, people (2 perhaps), within it (as seen, with, hydrodynamics research)] [Hydrodynamics research, is rather, interesting in that, it can, make, a rather small room, look, huge, based on, Design alone, such that, many people, in this, small room, due to their, perceptions really, believe, they are in a hall even, and find themselves, moving, around, rather freely].
Today though, the concept, of, Cultural Spaces, has fallen back, to, that, of Communities, and Ethnic linkage [even too, in, big Western cities, where, the Communal model, as with, Meritocracy even, is heavily, promoted, but really, non-existent].
What will be attempted below, is to show, the peoples, of, different Regions, of the World, to what, levels (or heights even), in, Cultural Spaces, they can aspire too, as mainly, based on, Landscaping, Design & Nuances. In all, an attempt to show many, how civilization, has fallen today, from, grander times, to these, community/tribal/ethnic, times, we live in. In many ways too, these Cultural Spaces, serve as, an inspiration, on creating, more or less, future based, Cultural Spaces, that in all, will elevate, civilization, to the levels, it was at, before, and heavily, driven by, Nuances (as with daily living), Design & Landscaping, of all kinds [and in all, responsible, for, past history, touching moments, and, aspirations, in our lives].
North America: Chicago/Illinois
Chicago, is an American City, that differs, from, the rest, as in many ways, it is truly, Americana, in spirit. What this means, is that, other, large, American Cities, like, New York, and even, Los Angeles, have a more or less, heavy, immigrant imprint, on them [as with, their developments really]. Chicago, differs though, as it is, an, American City, heavily steeped, in, American History, as with its, development, and in many ways too, a, City, totally built, by, Americans themselves [and home totally, to, various, indigenous, American Cultures]. For North Americans, Chicago/Illinois, offers, Nuances, Landscaping, and Design, they can, totally, strongly too, identify with, as with, how, Americana cultures, in all, should be, experienced, on, a daily basis [speaking mainly, of, Downtown Chicago]. A City, for all, North Americans (including, Canadians too), and in many ways too, has its, Twin City/State sister, with, Montreal/Quebec [they both, interestingly enough, having, developed, along, similar lines] [Both Cities, but especially, Chicago, also truly, exemplify, what, the Skyscraper (as an Americana Design), is all, about: http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/9028/2137259798e75e9ef79bbnd4.jpg]. In many ways, the world, defined, by, the TV show 'My Favourite Martian', the movie, 'Catch Me if you Can', and even too, MAD Magazine [in all really, if living, in, North America, and your, town, or homeplace even, does not, really feel like, Downtown Chicago, you are rather, backwards, in, civilized evolution in all].
South America: Brussels/Belgium
Might sound, a controversial choice, but, Brussels, a City unknown really, in, European History [with the exception, of, the Roman State period], today, has a, Landscaping, Design & Nuances to it, very much, alien, to, Europe. In many ways too, its Architecture, is rather, South American in nature, with parts of it really, having origins, in, the Iberian World. In many ways, a City, that represents, low rise, developments, as found too, in, South America, but taken really, to a higher level, as with, Design, Landscaping, and, especially, Nuances.
Europe: Manhattan, NY
Manhattan, surprisingly enough, often, touted, a cornerstone, of, American Architecture, in part ways, surprisingly enough again, has, its origins, in, the 20's, and not only, is its, Architecture, and Design even [Jinni and European respectively], but in many ways, does represent, the next, level, in, European, Landscaping, Design, and, Nuances too [Europe, has not seen, any true, innovative design, in, its Architecture and Design, in, the last, 250 years].
Africa: Pretoria, South Africa
Pretoria, in many ways, is, South Africa's, primarily, African City, as Johannesburg, is in many ways really, rather American, while, Cape Town, is actually, Arabe. Pretoria though, is what, in many ways, an, African City, taken, to the next level [as with, Landscaping, Nuances and Design, really, feels like]. In many ways too, the African City, for all, Africans, to get together, and, be one in all.
South East Asia: New Delhi, India & Adelaide, Australia
Perhaps, both, surprising entries, but both, Cities, do represent, Romanesque Art, with regards, to, Landscaping, Design, and, Nuances in all.
East Asia: Hong Kong, China
Heian in nature, but truly, the next, level, in, East Asian, Landscaping, Design, and, Nuances mainly.
Middle East: Doha, Qatar
Jinni, in many ways, but with regards, to, Landscaping, Nuances, and Design, does truly, represent, the next level, in, 'Middle East', civilization [and a place too, where, Gargoyles and Jinnis, can freely, mix, with no, remorse at all] [The Nuances, do provide, for this].
In todays World though, one does find, that, many, falsely presuppose, that, the Anglo-Saxon World [English speaking that is], has the best, with regards, to, Cultural Spaces [and especially, Nuances, and even, 'Reserved Spaces'], when in reality, the, Nuances, associated with, the Anglo-Saxon World, are largely, racist, and, their 'Reserved Spaces', filled, with, somewhat racist, people [if not, totally, racist]. To you, the dreamer, driven by, past history, touching moments, and, even, aspirations too, I would say, forget, the Anglo-Saxon World, for any, beautiful moments, you might seek out, in your life. It is, in many ways, a world, that will, drain, your energy levels, and leave you, embittered, with life, at, the very end, of it all.
One should realize too, that Cultural Spaces, are in many ways, associated, with, the world, of, Holidaying [a place, you can in general, visit, to simply, feel good, about, life] [in many ways, be free, and, totally mindless, about, anything]. It is therefore, recommended, that for those, seeking, the World Experience, in the form, of, Nuances [as with, being, totally accepted], then forget, the, Anglo-Saxon World, and wait, in some ways, for, Kenya [as a Land] [and filled, with, Italian Architecture] [and general Drama too, as with, relating really, with people, from all over the World, defined truly, by, Americanistas (Legion)], to come, into place; the wait, will be worthwhile, the fun (too much to handle), and do save, your money, rather than, waste it, in, a rather, expensive, hotel [in the Anglo-Saxon world], where you will, [pretty much, be treated, as, a misfit, and wind up too, spending, all, your time, all alone [having wasted, alot, of, money] [Interestingly enough, those, in the Anglo-Saxon world, tend to holiday, mainly, in Kenya].
The Art of Fencing:
Fencing, in many ways, other than, the sport, is a form, of Sword Fight, often, associated, with, French history, and especially, Napoleanic France. Unknown to many though, Fencing, is a, rather, sophisticated, Fighting Style, as unlike, other, Martial Forms, it s not in itself, a, Martial Art Form, but actually, a, Fighting Philosophy [heavily geared, towards, the study, of power] [What this means, is that, the 'Fencer', seeks, to study, the psychological nature, of, his opponent (as based on strikes), rather than, learning, how to, actually, strike, in itself].
As just described above, 'Fencing', is one, of, the most, advanced, forms, of Fighting Styles, due to the, sophisticated, Knowledge, associated with it, with regards, to, power [even more, sophisticated, than, the Samurai] [Other than, Ronin, probably]. Martial Philosophies, are heavily geared, towards, the study, of, power itself [as consisting, of, Pillars, Positions, Centers, Points, and even, Precincts too], and in all really, learning, to understand, the, true nature, of, power, and its application [as mainly having, to do with, problem solving, rather than, true understanding].
For most, their Knowledge, of power, is rather, limited in scope/nature, and they, associate, power itself, only, with its, Institutionalized nature [as with calling, the police even], and not, its, practical nature [as with, pretending, to dig, into, ones coat, for, a weapon].
Below, in some ways, will be presented, various, Martial Philosophies, that people, from, Regions around the World, can turn to [as with, Study really], so as to gain, a, basic understanding, of, what, power symbolizes, as in, many ways, power, can be, expressed, in very many, different, forms [good examples, include, the Afro, which, in America, was turned, into, a symbol, of, expressing, Black power, and, Self-Pride, as with mainly, Black self-expression, and, Black power consolidation] [A poem, can bring down, a whole, Authoritarian Regime, as compared, to, using, a whole Army, for, the very same, purpose].
North America: Military Warfare
In many cases, North America, is, a Region, where, its folks, don't really, believe, in Martial forms, of fighting, and still, in most ways, believe, in organized violence, of some kind. Military War Manuals, like those, from, Asia ['The Seven Military Classics of Ancient China' by Ralph D. Sawyer], are still, very much, the, basis, for most, North Americans, basing, their study, of power, as in, many ways, power, in North America, is heavily, defined, from the,'rights', perspective.
South America: Capoeira
Studying, its, Martial Philosophy, rather than, the Art form itself, can help, one, grasp, what, power, is all about, from, a, South American perspective ['Capoeira: Roots of the Fight-Dance-Game', is a source, on, Capoeira, as other sources, by, the same author (Nestor Capoeira), that mainly, presents, Capoeira, from, the perspective, of power].
Europe: Street Fighting (Boxing)/Fencing
What one, would call, Street Fighting (Boxing), as often, associated, with New Yorks, dark alleys, is actually, nothing more, than, 'the Art of Fencing', done, without Sabres. To attempt to understand, Fencing Martial Philosophy [as with, regards really, to power issues], the best sources, would, probably be, Boxing manuals, by, Ned Beaument, on learning, Street Fight Boxing.
Africa: Jeet Kune Do
The Martial Philosophy, developed, by, Bruce Lee, in many ways, fits, the African World, with regards, to how, power, is in many ways, perceived. One of the more, modern, Martial Philosophies, that attempts, to, associate, power, with, the politicized, individual, in many ways.
South East Asia: Shaolin Kung-fu
Shaolin Kung-Fu, as a, Martial Philosophy, to be studied, does fit, much, more better, with, South East Asian, cultures, than, with, East Asian cultures. In most ways, how, Shaolin Kung-fu, perceives, power, is in many ways too, how, South East Asian Societies, have often, perceived it [as mainly, with, expressing/manifesting, it] [Scenarios, of, 'Wise Man says, man with too much money, has friends, everywhere, man, with no money, see friends, everywhere'].
East Asia: Wing Chun Kung-Fu
Probably the most, popular, form, of, Kung-fu, and probably too, the most, advanced, with regards, to, the study, of, power itself [and especially, with its, Sword form styles]. Wing Chun, in many ways, for most, remains, the most, believeable, style, of, Kung-Fu (as popularized), and in most ways too, its Martial Philosophy, does fit, East Asian Society, way much, better, than, the Bushido Code.
The Middle East: Kali Escrima
While the Middle East, is steeped, in many ways, in, the study, of power, as mainly through, Islam, Sharia, and even, Sufism itself, Kali Escrima, as a, Martial Philosophy [and in many ways too, the, very basic way, those, from the Middle East, express themselves, as with, weapons really], does give, those, from the, Middle East, a better grasp, of, power in itself, as, Kali Escrima [more than, the other forms, of Escrima, Stick fighting], does have, its origins, in, the Islamic/Swahili worlds, and presents, power, not from, dealing with it [as with, Rumi perhaps], but from, actually, manifesting it, in all [Nunchakus too, do go well too, with Capoeira, as do Tonfas, and, Shaolin Kung Fu].
The study, of power, does not, end here, as we now, attempt, to show, how power [as defined by, the above, 5 elements], has mainly, been, represented, in Society, in the forms, of, money, sex, and respect. In the early years, of civilization, power, was mainly, in the form, of, Family Networks [consisting, of, Extend Families], that in many ways, attempted, to consolidate, power, from the perspective, of, Community-based, Family Businesses, that in all, resulted, in this, power, being manifest, in, the form, of, money (as with displaying it really), sex (as with obtaining it really), and, respect too (as with observing it really). Society, then evolved, to, greater heights, than this, where, Family owned Businesses, began, to pale, behind, the Institutionalization, of, power [as with, Institutions themselves], as is seen, with, Certified Education, Prominent Positions, and even, Ethical Personalities [all representing, money, power, and sex, respectively (as with, manifesting it really), and the fact, that, this form, of power, takes, precedence, of the, Family Business form, as perhaps due, to its, being able, to, deal, with issues, associated, with, the Family Business form, of, power]. Society, does take, another, leap again, by representing, power, from the, understanding, of the, forces, associated, with, Commerce, Trade and, Business [as with, fully understanding, patterns, associated, with them]; These forms, of power [as mainly, representing, Capitalism/Materiality, Money/Militarization, and, Business/Culture respectively], are seen, to triumph, over, the Institutionalization (of power), as mainly, with, regards, to, Quality/Quantity issues, of manifesting, power in all [as with, sex, money, and, respect, respectively] [This form, of manifesting power, becomes, rather popularly known, in, recent times (though existing, in even, higher forms, in, the Napoleanic times), as mainly, associated, with how, America, came, into being: the very known belief, that, with 5 dollars in ones pocket, one can become, a millionaire, by, applying, certain principles, and not really, Education, in all].
Interesting enough, civilization [as with, manifesting power], did climb, to, higher places, than that, described, before, as especially, seen, in, 'the Lower Middle East' [Saudi Arabia, Oman, and, the UAE], and' in, Italia also. In these two regions, manifesting power [as with, expressing it, via, sex, respect, and money], had risen, to, newer levels, whereby, Knowledge, Martial beings, and, Religious Philosophies, began, to triumph, over, Capitalism/Materiality/Commerce, Money/Militarization/Trade, and Business/Culture/Business [which all three, the French, had mastered, better, than everyone, else out there]. In the lower Middle East, and Italia too though, the belief, that, Knowledge (as with applied Knowledge really), triumphed, over, Materiality really [as with, Commerce mainly], began, to grow, as the belief perhaps, that one, could, seduce, their way, through life [as seen perhaps, within, Robert Greenes, 'Art of Seduction' (a manual, on, Italian Seduction really)], began, to grow, in fame, and, popularity. In many ways, Knowledge, associated really, with, Anthropology & Politics [as with, their true meanings], began, to triumph, over, Capitalism/Commerce [including, famed secret societies, such as, the Knight Hospitaller, who operated, from this, level], in representing, power, and its manifestation, as with, sex, really. And while too, the French, did master in all, Money/Trade/Militarization (as, power based, manifestations, of money), in Italia, and the lower Middle East, Martial beings, became, more reknowed, as with, developing, Trade Networks [similar in nature, to those, associated, with, the Portuguese/Swahili, and, the world, of, Marketing] [The world too, of Influence, and, Cialdini] [For the French, Trade was mainly, studied, from, the perspective, of, Militarization]. Religious Philosophies too, teaching one, how to, live life, rather, enviably [despite having, no, respect, in society], began, to grow, as rather, than, attempting, to create, Culture, enviable, to the masses [as the, French, once did too], those, in the lower Middle East (and, Italia too), began, living lives, basic, in many ways (and perceived, magical too), that in many ways, were, perceived, grander, than those, based, on, Culture [as with, being, Skanderberg, or even, a Pasha in all]. In many ways, Religious Philosophies, that pointed out, the errs, of, Culture, and the fluidity really, of, Religious Philosophies (as based on, Asceticism really) [as seen, in many, ways, with, Arabian culture, or in some ways, with, 'Hip hop cultures', that supposedly, have, 'white kids', wanting, to live, in, the Ghetto], and with a fine example too, popularly known, being, seeing the works, of, Niccolo Machiavelli, from, a highly, Religious perspective [as to how, to live, life really].
In many ways, what is been asked of here, is that, people, cease (and desist), their, obsession, with America, as being, the, prime Nation, in the world, with regards, to, manifesting power [as with, Capitalism/Commerce/Materiality, Money/Trade/Militarization, and even, Business & Culture], and instead, refer to, the cultures, of, the lower Middle East [Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the UAE], and Italia too, as with, taking, their civilizations, to, the next level really [one might marry, the most, beautiful, of American women (as an example, of, Capitalism and Commerce), but boasting about it, does nothing, for you, with, an Italian Seducer, within, your circles, of influence]. 'civilization', in many ways, as with, excitability, 'the pursuit of happiness ('fun in all')', and, emotion/elation, had reached, higher levels, in, the lower Middle East, and, non-activity (Worldly), associated, with these regions [including Italia too], has to do, with, their having, mastered, power (and its manifestations) [as in, they don't, generate, any more excitement, at all, as with how really, power, is manifested today (Media America)] [Once, a Seducer, Capitalism and Materiality, begin, to lose, interest, as one truly, believes, they can, get, anything they want, by, Seduction alone].
Even then, these, other ways of life, still remain, of, interest, as Africa [as a backward continent really], has to do, with, its manifesting, power [ (displaying) money, (gaining) sex, (observing) respect], in the form, of, Family-Business (Extended Families), but all, done, at, very, political levels, of 'excitability' [similar in nature really, to, American Gang movies, such as, 'American Gangster'] [One of the main reasons too, why Africa, has failed, to develop, Worldly Institutions (as due mainly, to operating, from, the, Extended Families, level)].
The world today, has, largely regressed, to, the point, whereby, Family Networks [as with, Extended Families], no longer, even, exist [as with, the basic, attempt, to manifest, power], and one finds, that, instead, one has, Individual Efforts [associated with, what, they call, Community-oriented, business (and not, Community-based, Business & denoting in all, that these, businesses, Communty-oriented, are actually, attempting, to create, Community]; Individual Efforts, are more, of the norm really, today, in a world, very much, facing, a, Global Economic collapse [due mainly, to, dependencies, on oil, and the truth really, that, nothing much, goes on, in the world, out there (as with, a, Community-oriented, World)].
Social Classifiers, are terms, in all, associated, with, defining people, as seen, from, the viewpoint, of, manifesting power [e.g. being Arab, Euro, Mzungu, Indian, Puerto Rican, Jamaican, 'White Man', 'White Woman' and even, Carioca (Sao Paulo)], which are, all terms, associated, with how, different peoples, out there, seek, to manifest, power, and are in all, not, racial, or cultural classifiers really, but somewhat, historical classifiers (as with, evolution too), in all [the word Mzungu, is not, the term, for, 'white man' really, as many suppose, but, a Swahili Term, for those, in, the Victorian World, who, chose, to live, like, an Arab (meaning in all, that, there are, white, black and brown, Mzungus)]. What some call too, 'Ethnic slurs', such as, 'Chinaman', or even, 'Japo', are terms too, associated, with, manifesting power, and especially, with, regards, to 'cultural habits' [the current President of Kenya, is in many ways truly, a Black Mzungu, and the Kenyan Presidency, has traditionally, been, associated, with Wazungus] [William (Prince), would be, a White Mzungu, in Kenya].
The Preconscious Memory:
All the above, Information (or Knowledge really), is in many ways, in all, stored, in ones, Preconscious Memory [especially, as with, regards to, Constructs, Paradigms, and, 'Models of Reality'], but expressed really, in the form, of, Realization, Group Realization, and finally too, Self-Realization.
Below though, we shall attempt, to show (present really), how, the above, forms, of Realization, are expressed, in, general Society today, in more or less, an, Art form. That in different Regions/Societies, of the World, taking civilization, to, the next level, has always been, based, on, the following, Literary, 'forms of presentation' [or what, some call, Literary Studies/Works, perhaps], as seen mainly, in, different parts, of, the World.
North America: the Mystery
The Literary, 'form of presentation', commonly known, as, the Mystery, has traditionally, been, used, in North America, to express, Realization, in all, its forms. A surprise perhaps, but when many, do say, that, North America (including Canada even), was once, rather, exciting, its because, the above forms, of, Realization, occurred, in the form, of, the Mystery [as with, someone, having, a secret life, or even too, mysterious parentage].
Suitable source: 'The Best American Mystery Stories of the Century' by Tony Hillerman and Otto Penzler
South America: The Article
The Article, is in many ways, often associated, with, Newspaper articles [as in many ways, the first, Newspapers, did speak, of, Realization (in Society), as do, South American Newspapers, to this day, still, very much do]. In many ways though, the Article, also comes, in, the form, of, the document, 'a paper', report, 'kind of document', and even, journal entry [all which, deal, with, Realization, as often, seen, in South American, Society].
Suitable source: 'Warriors in the Mist' by Susan D. Kalior, and even, 'Eleganta' by Denny Swartzlander, are in all, sources, that, South Americans, can turn to, as with, Realization really, as 'Fantasy', in the form, of, novel, book, game, or even, movie, is really in all, a form, of, the Article, and having to do, with, Realization, in all its forms.
Europe: The Fairy Tale
The Fairy Tale, might seem, a, rather shocking, surprise, to put in here, but in all ways, it has, represented, Europe, in all its forms, from, the perspective, of, Realization. In more complex forms, the Fairy Tale, comes, in the form, of, the Memoir (of Sherlock Holmes perhaps), and even, Bram Stokers, 'Dracula'.
Suitable source: 'Western Society, a Brief History' by John P. McKay (and his other works too), is in many ways, what, some call, a' Documented Source', and does speak, of, Realization, as seen, in European History [the "Documented Source', as, a 'form of representation', has come, to influence, History today, as with how really, some, choose, to write it out (as with for example, Academic Afrocentrism, Academic Eurocentrism etc.). What they too call, Poetic sources, such as, 'The Song of Rowland', or even, the works, of Dante (Alighieri), are in all really, presentations, of, Fairy Tales, in one form, or, another.
Africa: The Adventure
The Adventure, is a form, of, Literary presentation, that, in most ways, speaks of, Realization, as often, seen/perceived, in, the African world. African Political Journals, are often, in, the form, of, the Adventure, as is most, of, African, Storytelling [all speaking, of, Realization, in one form, or, another].
Suitable source: 'Into Africa' by Martin Dugard, and even too, 'Gold of Kings' by Davis Bunn [Adventure and Realization, for the, listless, African Mind].
South East Asia: The Composition
Popularly known, in, the British influenced world, but does, come, in many other, versions, such as, the, Literary piece, the Production, or even, the Score. Popularly known though, mainly, in, the form, of, the Score [as with, TV shows, or even, School Compositions], and popularly associated too, with, the world, of, Romantic Fiction.
Suitable source: 'Edgar Allan Poe: Complete Tales and Poems' by Edgar Allan Poe
East Asia: The Tale
The Tale, is a form, of, storytelling, heavily associated, with, the East Asian world, and especially, the Japanese world. One of the more, famous, Tales out there, is, Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov [which in many ways, is really, an, East Asia Tale]. The Tale too, helped, give birth, to what, they, call, Cinema [as Fairy Tales too, deal with, the Film, and Mysteries, with, the Movie].
Suitable source: 'Tales of Old Japan' by Algernon Bertram
The Middle East: The Hadithi
The Hadithi, has its origins, in, the Swahili world, and is in, many ways, a kind, of, a Tale [unique to itself though, as in, it, best approximates, the, Tale, from all, the above]. What makes, the Hadithi, rather interesting, is that, it attempts, to throw in, the, Spiritual, Religious, and even, Magical, into, everyday Realities, and lives too ['superstitious tales' for instance, associated, with, black cats for example]. The Hadithi too, in many ways, helped, give birth, to what, some call, Motion Pictures.
Suitable source: 'The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson' by Ralph Waldo Emerson [while, the Middle East, is replete, with, all kinds, of, Hadithi, the Hadithi really, offered here, do go well, with, the Namib Desert, and even, Cold Deserts in all].
Synchronicity:
While 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance', might seem, a bit, of, a not too convincing, read, for many, it might be because, that, Zen in itself, is heavily, an, East Asian tradition [meaning that, it only, really works, in, East Asian, Societies], and its application, to Motorcycle Maintenance, should not be taken, as being, 'out there', as it is well known, that most, Motorcycles, in the World, do come, from, East Asia.
Synchronicity, is in many ways, a proposed theory, proposed, very much, by one, Carl Jung, and heavily in itself, based on, Hermeneutics. In many ways, Synchronicity, much more, than Zen, is deemed, a much better, modus operandi, for helping, explain, our, Social Spheres, as compared really, to Zen (in all). And while, Jung, spoke of, Synchronicity, very much theoretically [as in, many ways, attempting, to put, a Physics based existence, to it all], Synchronicity though, can probably, best, be studied, based on, what they call, Epistemology [in all, attempting, to put, a memory based, existence, to it all].
What Synchronicity, can be said, to speak of really, is in many ways, how, to define, Stimulation [Pain, Pleasure, Hurt & Injury], in our lives, from, the perspective, of, memories, 'timely experiences', and, finally too, 'shocking moments' [all associated too, with, work/effort, parenting/systems, and, women/order, respectively].
To fully understand, why, Synchronicity, is a worthwhile endeavour, to research on, is to know, that, in many ways, it does help, in, understanding, how, Human beings, rise up (in civility), with regards, to, Humanity in all. If we speak, of our, Social Spheres, as mainly being, associated, with, the act, of Realization, we in many ways too, see how, Human beings in general, have developed, with regards, to, how, they define, Stimulation [as 'Pain' in all].
To attempt, to explain this, in more detail, is to show, that, in olden Societies, Humans, were very much, viewed, from the perspective, of, Worthy, and Unworthy [in many ways, all this, defined, by, Work/Effort, Parenting/Systems, and, Women/Order], and that in all, those viewed, Unworthy, were, rather, heavily stereotyped [as being, good, for nothing really], and those, viewed, Worthy, were given, memories, 'timely experiences', and 'shocking moments', based all, on, Work, Parenting, and finally, Women [the unworthy, in many ways, really, lived lives, with, nothing much, happening, in them]. That however, was pretty much, stone-age, in mentality. Later on, with regards, to, being Worthy, experiences, associated with, memories, 'timely experiences', and 'shocking moments', were raised up, in levels [as with, heights really], to those, associated, with what, they call, Famed or even, Popular Figures [Effort, Systems, Order]. Society, functioned this way, pretty much, in, the Egyptian times. Later on even, these experiences [associated, with Work/Effort, Parenting/Systems, and even, Women/Order], were raised, to very much, the, Individual level, such that, most, had a story, to tell, very much, onwards, towards, the end, of, their lives. Yet still, these experiences, in the past even, have risen, to even, higher heights, as with having them, mainly defined, by, Personal History, the Heavens, and even, Mother Earth herself [seen, in Greek Mythology (as with the Odyssey), and even, history itself, as with, the creation, of, Islam] [Talking of, Mother Earth again, is to talk about, perhaps, how different, Days of the Week, require, different mentalities, to get, through with].
Yet still, one does find, that, Society, has in many ways, fallen, to levels, of the past [stone-age even], with regards, to, the human experience, and, humanity itself. That in many ways really, for most today, Stimulation, and, the human experience in all, has fallen, to levels, of, being, stereotyped, as being, Worthy, or Unworthy even.
What will be attempted here, is to show, the, different Higher Beings, Individuals, from the past, that have, very much, reached, new heights, in, the human experience, as based on, Stimulation, based too, very much, on, their exploits; [for most today, the heights, of, human experience, they seek out, are those, based on, Famed/Popular Figures, which in general, includes, Movie Stars,Musicians, Sports Athletes, and even, Famed Businessmen], whose lives, many, attempt to, emulate, and very much, too, live out. Instead, the lives, lived out, by these Figures, should be emulated, so as in all, to have, a higher vision, of whats, possible, in Life, and also, discern, in all, how, the structures, erected [in all], by Society, tend, to limit, the, Human experience.
The Figures presented below, in most ways, experienced, the Heights, of Human experience, based very much, on, their Higher Beings [and not, the Societies really, they lived in]. The choices, might sound, controversial, but in many ways, deemed, the best choices, not with, regards, to how, Life, was lived out [as with, the Anointing entry], or even, all, probable, possible, experiences [as with, the Bibles & Christianity 1.0], but mainly, with, the very heights, of, these experiences (even, on, a daily basis) [A boy, who falls down, a well, and is rescued, one week later, is mainly, what, we are talking about, here].
Jinni: Prophet Muhammed
Probably the most famous, Jinni ever [as recounted really, by, Barnaby Rogerson] [In many ways too, a form, of, the Greek work, 'the Odyssey'].
Gargoyles: Imhotep
Imhotep, is believed, to have been, of, the Constellations (which he was), and while, he did become, a, Living Deity (worshiped even), during his, Egyptian times, many fail, to realize, his history, continues, in, the Middle East (Saudi Arabia), where, he greatly, influenced, the historical Architecture, there (amongst other things), and in all ways too, became, a Gargoyle [for the rest of the World though, Imhotep, is only, associated, with, Ancient Egyptian History, before, apparently, the world, sees, the rise, of, Western civilization (presented, in the light, of, the downfall, of, European Civilization)].
Light beings: Napolean II
Probably, the most, of civilized, of Europeans, as in many ways, he did, help, prevent, the full, collapse, of French Civilization, by retaining, Intelligent thought, in the midst, of, chaotic downfall [and while, formerly, an Angel being, he did infact, become, a Light being, eventually] [Light beings, in many ways, tend to see, themselves, as being, Crafty, but actually, tend to lack, the sophistication, in being so (or even, in being, 'evil'); Alot, can be said, of, Napolean II, and the believed perception, he was, Europes, most infamous/villainous Personality, due to the fact, that, French/European Civilization, does eventually, collapse, during, his time/reign, but in attempting really, to save, Europe in all, he was, imprisoned, declared Martial Law too, in an attempt, to prevent, Paris/France, from being, totally destroyed, by, marauding bands of mad men (in a France, where, Martial Law, had been, declared), but finally even, attempted, to stem off, the French Civil War, (by disguising himself, unrecognized, and supposed dead too), before his being crowned, Emperor of France (as, Napolean III); that was Napolean, he knew Crafty, and that in all, Crafty, does define, Europe (and Light beings), with regards, to, the Heights, of, the Human experience].
Esicrucian Man: Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa
Famed Roman General, who in many ways, makes other, accounts, of being, maligned, rather, tame in all.
The Constellations: George Washington
A Figure, perhaps, not of too much, of passing interest, to most, but nothing much, has happened, in, Constellations history, since, the Egyptian times.
Shapeshifts: 'Original Sin'
Original Sin, is a movie, starring, Antonio Banderas, that in many ways, attempts, to capture, the very heights, of, Human experience, as associated, with, Shapeshifts. Perhaps, another, questionable choice, but its themes, do follow, those, of legendary, South American Figures, and in many ways, Shapeshift history, has been more, of, the Legendary kind, with there being, too many, such figures, to choose one from.
Daemons: Suleiman the Magnificent
Daemon Figure, from, North Africa, who does become, a Sultan, in the Ottoman Empire, and the experiences, suffered in all [way before, there was, Kofi Annan, and, even, probably, the first, 'African' President of the United States of America, 'Barack Obama'].
Gods: Kublai Khan
Helps explain, why, the Chinese, believed, their Emperors, were, 'Sons of Heaven', as mainly, to do, with, 'timely experiences' in all.
To further, speak on all this, for most humans, out there, recognizing the above, must also probably, recognize, that life itself, could, be raised, up, several levels, by, recognizing the fact, that, in much recent times, the, everyday experiences, of, the majority, were similar, to those, experienced, by, Famed/Popular Figures in all [as with, Sports stars for example].
Many today, seek out, the top, in, the Human experience, believing it, to be, found, only/mainly, in, New York, and London [as mainly, with, excellence]. Truth is, these Cities, are pretty much, shut out, to, most [without a fat, bank account], and one must realize, way before, there was, New York, or London even, there was, one major City, where everyday, Human experiences, reached, the levels, of, Famed Figures, for nearly all, its Populations: Paris.
It is recommended here, that Paris, once again, becomes the Center, of World Tourism [as defining, Tourism here, based very much on, the Heights, of, Human experience], and that, it is believed, that, Paris [and the French in general], still to this day, are, at the heights, of giving, the majority, the best, of, Human experiences [in a Tourism setting]. Forget New York, or London [they are misery untold, in many ways], and, if you are in search, for an Adventure of a kind, this Summer, do visit, Paris, for some, trouble making.
[With Paris, becoming, the Center, of World Tourism, it is then, deemed 'obviously', that, Marseilles, should now become, the new, 'region' (point-of-origin) of, the New, French Civilization, as Paris, is steeped, in history, that, cannot, be erased (and therefore, to Marseilles, and the, new, Age of Compassion/Exploration) (The Napoleanic Era, which France, seems stuck in (as with, aspirations even), is indeed, over)] [Way before, there was, the Napoleanic, there was, the Merovingians, and even too, the, Roman Republic, which all, died off, too].
Bowling:
Bowling, is in most ways, considered, a sport, requiring, heavy concentration. One of the main reasons for this, is that, Bowling, often tends, to take, place, in Spaces, that are rather, open, in nature. As a result of this, Bowling Arenas, tend to be, rather, unrestricted places. What this really means, is that, one in all, tends, to feel, rather, defenseless, while, in one of them. What this means too also, is that, for many, the concept, of, Defense [and not, Defence], speaks of, what, one, is Linked, Joined, or Connected to, in, their daily lives. When in a Bowling Alley, one does find that, their, Defenses, are totally, open, leaving them, feeling like, they are, in, a dark room too. In all really, what drives one, in, a Bowling Alley [as with, Bowling itself], is what, was, referred to previously, as, the Occidental [past history, touching moments, aspirations]. Thats all, really, there is, to, Bowling [and probably, really, a good foundation, for those, seeking, to base, their very lives, on, the Occidental].
This section though, deals with, what, some call, Cultural Spaces. Cultural Spaces, in many ways, are associated with, what, one would call, 'Group Realization', for it is while, within, Cultural Spaces, that most, tend to see, themselves, as a Group, and in many ways too, create, Group Consciousness', that very much, dictate, whom they are. In many ways, this has to do, with, Group Consciousness (and Group Realization too), based heavily, on, the Occidental.
When one travels, to, different places, of, the World today, on reading, newspapers there, one might hear, the words, America, Europe, Africa, or even, Asia itself. While outside, any of these places, these words, are used, to denote, Political Entities [as with, Survival really], within them, they are actually used, to refer, to Group Consciousness [and Group Realization], all based on the Occidental. Yet even though, one still does find, that, Group Consciousness, as associated, with, the Occidental, is in many ways, more 'lethal' perhaps [in its stances et. al], than Group Consciousness, based on, Survival issues [What this means really, is that, Group Consciousness, based on, the Occidental, can be way more, discriminative, than that, based on, Survival] [One reason, why Africa, to many, is more, benign, than other, places, of the World].
Every Group/culture, must in many ways, come, to define, Cultural Spaces, they inhabit, so as to in all, not only, Survive, but also too in all, develop, what some would call, Self-Pride [as with, Group Achievement really]. How this, has been done, traditionally, differs, as with, the recent past too (as with how really, this was done in all), which also too, differs, significantly, from that of today.
In the old days, people sought out, Cultural Spaces, very much, based, on Nature, and Climate/Weather in all. On gaining, such, Cultural Spaces, they often, sought, to defend them, by, some, 'Means of Force' really. Later on, the concept, of, Cultural Spaces, further evolved, into, Spaces, very much, defined, by what, one, was Linked, Connected, or Joined too [meaning that, the concept, of, the Community, became, in many ways, Communal, and people, defined, Cultural Spaces, based on, what, they were, Linked, Connected, or Joined too, as with, Ethnic Shops, Ethnic Churches, and even, Ethnic schools perhaps]. This concept, of Cultural Spaces, continued, to evolve, when, the Community, became, totally Communal, and the idea, of, being Linked, Joined, or Connected, to another, lost its, Ethnic meaning, and one sees, Cultural Spaces themselves, containing in them, what, one would call, 'Reserved Spaces', into which, the members, of, a 'Communal', aspired, to gain entry too [as with being Linked, Joined, or, Connected to] [Examples of these, include, an upper end restaurant, an upper class commune, or even too, an upscale school]. The danger, of all this, was if, some, members of the Communal, made everything, rather, Ethnic again [Community], by coming, to, dominate, any, of these, 'Reserved Spaces' [and in all too, introducing, a general culture, of, prejudice, racism, and, bigotry even, too]. Yet still, one does find again, that, Society, had progressed, to even, greater levels, than this, in, defining, Cultural Spaces, as totally based on, Landscaping, Design, and, Nuances (tensions, animosity, angst) [What this means really, in all, is that, Cultural Spaces, as far back, as, the Napoleonic times, were heavily, based on, the concept, of, Design, such that, a room, could trigger, beautiful emotions (or even, memories even), could create, instant, camaraderie, between, people, or even still, warm up, almost, immediately, with very few, people (2 perhaps), within it (as seen, with, hydrodynamics research)] [Hydrodynamics research, is rather, interesting in that, it can, make, a rather small room, look, huge, based on, Design alone, such that, many people, in this, small room, due to their, perceptions really, believe, they are in a hall even, and find themselves, moving, around, rather freely].
Today though, the concept, of, Cultural Spaces, has fallen back, to, that, of Communities, and Ethnic linkage [even too, in, big Western cities, where, the Communal model, as with, Meritocracy even, is heavily, promoted, but really, non-existent].
What will be attempted below, is to show, the peoples, of, different Regions, of the World, to what, levels (or heights even), in, Cultural Spaces, they can aspire too, as mainly, based on, Landscaping, Design & Nuances. In all, an attempt to show many, how civilization, has fallen today, from, grander times, to these, community/tribal/ethnic, times, we live in. In many ways too, these Cultural Spaces, serve as, an inspiration, on creating, more or less, future based, Cultural Spaces, that in all, will elevate, civilization, to the levels, it was at, before, and heavily, driven by, Nuances (as with daily living), Design & Landscaping, of all kinds [and in all, responsible, for, past history, touching moments, and, aspirations, in our lives].
North America: Chicago/Illinois
Chicago, is an American City, that differs, from, the rest, as in many ways, it is truly, Americana, in spirit. What this means, is that, other, large, American Cities, like, New York, and even, Los Angeles, have a more or less, heavy, immigrant imprint, on them [as with, their developments really]. Chicago, differs though, as it is, an, American City, heavily steeped, in, American History, as with its, development, and in many ways too, a, City, totally built, by, Americans themselves [and home totally, to, various, indigenous, American Cultures]. For North Americans, Chicago/Illinois, offers, Nuances, Landscaping, and Design, they can, totally, strongly too, identify with, as with, how, Americana cultures, in all, should be, experienced, on, a daily basis [speaking mainly, of, Downtown Chicago]. A City, for all, North Americans (including, Canadians too), and in many ways too, has its, Twin City/State sister, with, Montreal/Quebec [they both, interestingly enough, having, developed, along, similar lines] [Both Cities, but especially, Chicago, also truly, exemplify, what, the Skyscraper (as an Americana Design), is all, about: http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/9028/2137259798e75e9ef79bbnd4.jpg]. In many ways, the world, defined, by, the TV show 'My Favourite Martian', the movie, 'Catch Me if you Can', and even too, MAD Magazine [in all really, if living, in, North America, and your, town, or homeplace even, does not, really feel like, Downtown Chicago, you are rather, backwards, in, civilized evolution in all].
South America: Brussels/Belgium
Might sound, a controversial choice, but, Brussels, a City unknown really, in, European History [with the exception, of, the Roman State period], today, has a, Landscaping, Design & Nuances to it, very much, alien, to, Europe. In many ways too, its Architecture, is rather, South American in nature, with parts of it really, having origins, in, the Iberian World. In many ways, a City, that represents, low rise, developments, as found too, in, South America, but taken really, to a higher level, as with, Design, Landscaping, and, especially, Nuances.
Europe: Manhattan, NY
Manhattan, surprisingly enough, often, touted, a cornerstone, of, American Architecture, in part ways, surprisingly enough again, has, its origins, in, the 20's, and not only, is its, Architecture, and Design even [Jinni and European respectively], but in many ways, does represent, the next, level, in, European, Landscaping, Design, and, Nuances too [Europe, has not seen, any true, innovative design, in, its Architecture and Design, in, the last, 250 years].
Africa: Pretoria, South Africa
Pretoria, in many ways, is, South Africa's, primarily, African City, as Johannesburg, is in many ways really, rather American, while, Cape Town, is actually, Arabe. Pretoria though, is what, in many ways, an, African City, taken, to the next level [as with, Landscaping, Nuances and Design, really, feels like]. In many ways too, the African City, for all, Africans, to get together, and, be one in all.
South East Asia: New Delhi, India & Adelaide, Australia
Perhaps, both, surprising entries, but both, Cities, do represent, Romanesque Art, with regards, to, Landscaping, Design, and, Nuances in all.
East Asia: Hong Kong, China
Heian in nature, but truly, the next, level, in, East Asian, Landscaping, Design, and, Nuances mainly.
Middle East: Doha, Qatar
Jinni, in many ways, but with regards, to, Landscaping, Nuances, and Design, does truly, represent, the next level, in, 'Middle East', civilization [and a place too, where, Gargoyles and Jinnis, can freely, mix, with no, remorse at all] [The Nuances, do provide, for this].
In todays World though, one does find, that, many, falsely presuppose, that, the Anglo-Saxon World [English speaking that is], has the best, with regards, to, Cultural Spaces [and especially, Nuances, and even, 'Reserved Spaces'], when in reality, the, Nuances, associated with, the Anglo-Saxon World, are largely, racist, and, their 'Reserved Spaces', filled, with, somewhat racist, people [if not, totally, racist]. To you, the dreamer, driven by, past history, touching moments, and, even, aspirations too, I would say, forget, the Anglo-Saxon World, for any, beautiful moments, you might seek out, in your life. It is, in many ways, a world, that will, drain, your energy levels, and leave you, embittered, with life, at, the very end, of it all.
One should realize too, that Cultural Spaces, are in many ways, associated, with, the world, of, Holidaying [a place, you can in general, visit, to simply, feel good, about, life] [in many ways, be free, and, totally mindless, about, anything]. It is therefore, recommended, that for those, seeking, the World Experience, in the form, of, Nuances [as with, being, totally accepted], then forget, the, Anglo-Saxon World, and wait, in some ways, for, Kenya [as a Land] [and filled, with, Italian Architecture] [and general Drama too, as with, relating really, with people, from all over the World, defined truly, by, Americanistas (Legion)], to come, into place; the wait, will be worthwhile, the fun (too much to handle), and do save, your money, rather than, waste it, in, a rather, expensive, hotel [in the Anglo-Saxon world], where you will, [pretty much, be treated, as, a misfit, and wind up too, spending, all, your time, all alone [having wasted, alot, of, money] [Interestingly enough, those, in the Anglo-Saxon world, tend to holiday, mainly, in Kenya].
The Art of Fencing:
Fencing, in many ways, other than, the sport, is a form, of Sword Fight, often, associated, with, French history, and especially, Napoleanic France. Unknown to many though, Fencing, is a, rather, sophisticated, Fighting Style, as unlike, other, Martial Forms, it s not in itself, a, Martial Art Form, but actually, a, Fighting Philosophy [heavily geared, towards, the study, of power] [What this means, is that, the 'Fencer', seeks, to study, the psychological nature, of, his opponent (as based on strikes), rather than, learning, how to, actually, strike, in itself].
As just described above, 'Fencing', is one, of, the most, advanced, forms, of Fighting Styles, due to the, sophisticated, Knowledge, associated with it, with regards, to, power [even more, sophisticated, than, the Samurai] [Other than, Ronin, probably]. Martial Philosophies, are heavily geared, towards, the study, of, power itself [as consisting, of, Pillars, Positions, Centers, Points, and even, Precincts too], and in all really, learning, to understand, the, true nature, of, power, and its application [as mainly having, to do with, problem solving, rather than, true understanding].
For most, their Knowledge, of power, is rather, limited in scope/nature, and they, associate, power itself, only, with its, Institutionalized nature [as with calling, the police even], and not, its, practical nature [as with, pretending, to dig, into, ones coat, for, a weapon].
Below, in some ways, will be presented, various, Martial Philosophies, that people, from, Regions around the World, can turn to [as with, Study really], so as to gain, a, basic understanding, of, what, power symbolizes, as in, many ways, power, can be, expressed, in very many, different, forms [good examples, include, the Afro, which, in America, was turned, into, a symbol, of, expressing, Black power, and, Self-Pride, as with mainly, Black self-expression, and, Black power consolidation] [A poem, can bring down, a whole, Authoritarian Regime, as compared, to, using, a whole Army, for, the very same, purpose].
North America: Military Warfare
In many cases, North America, is, a Region, where, its folks, don't really, believe, in Martial forms, of fighting, and still, in most ways, believe, in organized violence, of some kind. Military War Manuals, like those, from, Asia ['The Seven Military Classics of Ancient China' by Ralph D. Sawyer], are still, very much, the, basis, for most, North Americans, basing, their study, of power, as in, many ways, power, in North America, is heavily, defined, from the,'rights', perspective.
South America: Capoeira
Studying, its, Martial Philosophy, rather than, the Art form itself, can help, one, grasp, what, power, is all about, from, a, South American perspective ['Capoeira: Roots of the Fight-Dance-Game', is a source, on, Capoeira, as other sources, by, the same author (Nestor Capoeira), that mainly, presents, Capoeira, from, the perspective, of power].
Europe: Street Fighting (Boxing)/Fencing
What one, would call, Street Fighting (Boxing), as often, associated, with New Yorks, dark alleys, is actually, nothing more, than, 'the Art of Fencing', done, without Sabres. To attempt to understand, Fencing Martial Philosophy [as with, regards really, to power issues], the best sources, would, probably be, Boxing manuals, by, Ned Beaument, on learning, Street Fight Boxing.
Africa: Jeet Kune Do
The Martial Philosophy, developed, by, Bruce Lee, in many ways, fits, the African World, with regards, to how, power, is in many ways, perceived. One of the more, modern, Martial Philosophies, that attempts, to, associate, power, with, the politicized, individual, in many ways.
South East Asia: Shaolin Kung-fu
Shaolin Kung-Fu, as a, Martial Philosophy, to be studied, does fit, much, more better, with, South East Asian, cultures, than, with, East Asian cultures. In most ways, how, Shaolin Kung-fu, perceives, power, is in many ways too, how, South East Asian Societies, have often, perceived it [as mainly, with, expressing/manifesting, it] [Scenarios, of, 'Wise Man says, man with too much money, has friends, everywhere, man, with no money, see friends, everywhere'].
East Asia: Wing Chun Kung-Fu
Probably the most, popular, form, of, Kung-fu, and probably too, the most, advanced, with regards, to, the study, of, power itself [and especially, with its, Sword form styles]. Wing Chun, in many ways, for most, remains, the most, believeable, style, of, Kung-Fu (as popularized), and in most ways too, its Martial Philosophy, does fit, East Asian Society, way much, better, than, the Bushido Code.
The Middle East: Kali Escrima
While the Middle East, is steeped, in many ways, in, the study, of power, as mainly through, Islam, Sharia, and even, Sufism itself, Kali Escrima, as a, Martial Philosophy [and in many ways too, the, very basic way, those, from the Middle East, express themselves, as with, weapons really], does give, those, from the, Middle East, a better grasp, of, power in itself, as, Kali Escrima [more than, the other forms, of Escrima, Stick fighting], does have, its origins, in, the Islamic/Swahili worlds, and presents, power, not from, dealing with it [as with, Rumi perhaps], but from, actually, manifesting it, in all [Nunchakus too, do go well too, with Capoeira, as do Tonfas, and, Shaolin Kung Fu].
The study, of power, does not, end here, as we now, attempt, to show, how power [as defined by, the above, 5 elements], has mainly, been, represented, in Society, in the forms, of, money, sex, and respect. In the early years, of civilization, power, was mainly, in the form, of, Family Networks [consisting, of, Extend Families], that in many ways, attempted, to consolidate, power, from the perspective, of, Community-based, Family Businesses, that in all, resulted, in this, power, being manifest, in, the form, of, money (as with displaying it really), sex (as with obtaining it really), and, respect too (as with observing it really). Society, then evolved, to, greater heights, than this, where, Family owned Businesses, began, to pale, behind, the Institutionalization, of, power [as with, Institutions themselves], as is seen, with, Certified Education, Prominent Positions, and even, Ethical Personalities [all representing, money, power, and sex, respectively (as with, manifesting it really), and the fact, that, this form, of power, takes, precedence, of the, Family Business form, as perhaps due, to its, being able, to, deal, with issues, associated, with, the Family Business form, of, power]. Society, does take, another, leap again, by representing, power, from the, understanding, of the, forces, associated, with, Commerce, Trade and, Business [as with, fully understanding, patterns, associated, with them]; These forms, of power [as mainly, representing, Capitalism/Materiality, Money/Militarization, and, Business/Culture respectively], are seen, to triumph, over, the Institutionalization (of power), as mainly, with, regards, to, Quality/Quantity issues, of manifesting, power in all [as with, sex, money, and, respect, respectively] [This form, of manifesting power, becomes, rather popularly known, in, recent times (though existing, in even, higher forms, in, the Napoleanic times), as mainly, associated, with how, America, came, into being: the very known belief, that, with 5 dollars in ones pocket, one can become, a millionaire, by, applying, certain principles, and not really, Education, in all].
Interesting enough, civilization [as with, manifesting power], did climb, to, higher places, than that, described, before, as especially, seen, in, 'the Lower Middle East' [Saudi Arabia, Oman, and, the UAE], and' in, Italia also. In these two regions, manifesting power [as with, expressing it, via, sex, respect, and money], had risen, to, newer levels, whereby, Knowledge, Martial beings, and, Religious Philosophies, began, to triumph, over, Capitalism/Materiality/Commerce, Money/Militarization/Trade, and Business/Culture/Business [which all three, the French, had mastered, better, than everyone, else out there]. In the lower Middle East, and Italia too though, the belief, that, Knowledge (as with applied Knowledge really), triumphed, over, Materiality really [as with, Commerce mainly], began, to grow, as the belief perhaps, that one, could, seduce, their way, through life [as seen perhaps, within, Robert Greenes, 'Art of Seduction' (a manual, on, Italian Seduction really)], began, to grow, in fame, and, popularity. In many ways, Knowledge, associated really, with, Anthropology & Politics [as with, their true meanings], began, to triumph, over, Capitalism/Commerce [including, famed secret societies, such as, the Knight Hospitaller, who operated, from this, level], in representing, power, and its manifestation, as with, sex, really. And while too, the French, did master in all, Money/Trade/Militarization (as, power based, manifestations, of money), in Italia, and the lower Middle East, Martial beings, became, more reknowed, as with, developing, Trade Networks [similar in nature, to those, associated, with, the Portuguese/Swahili, and, the world, of, Marketing] [The world too, of Influence, and, Cialdini] [For the French, Trade was mainly, studied, from, the perspective, of, Militarization]. Religious Philosophies too, teaching one, how to, live life, rather, enviably [despite having, no, respect, in society], began, to grow, as rather, than, attempting, to create, Culture, enviable, to the masses [as the, French, once did too], those, in the lower Middle East (and, Italia too), began, living lives, basic, in many ways (and perceived, magical too), that in many ways, were, perceived, grander, than those, based, on, Culture [as with, being, Skanderberg, or even, a Pasha in all]. In many ways, Religious Philosophies, that pointed out, the errs, of, Culture, and the fluidity really, of, Religious Philosophies (as based on, Asceticism really) [as seen, in many, ways, with, Arabian culture, or in some ways, with, 'Hip hop cultures', that supposedly, have, 'white kids', wanting, to live, in, the Ghetto], and with a fine example too, popularly known, being, seeing the works, of, Niccolo Machiavelli, from, a highly, Religious perspective [as to how, to live, life really].
In many ways, what is been asked of here, is that, people, cease (and desist), their, obsession, with America, as being, the, prime Nation, in the world, with regards, to, manifesting power [as with, Capitalism/Commerce/Materiality, Money/Trade/Militarization, and even, Business & Culture], and instead, refer to, the cultures, of, the lower Middle East [Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the UAE], and Italia too, as with, taking, their civilizations, to, the next level really [one might marry, the most, beautiful, of American women (as an example, of, Capitalism and Commerce), but boasting about it, does nothing, for you, with, an Italian Seducer, within, your circles, of influence]. 'civilization', in many ways, as with, excitability, 'the pursuit of happiness ('fun in all')', and, emotion/elation, had reached, higher levels, in, the lower Middle East, and, non-activity (Worldly), associated, with these regions [including Italia too], has to do, with, their having, mastered, power (and its manifestations) [as in, they don't, generate, any more excitement, at all, as with how really, power, is manifested today (Media America)] [Once, a Seducer, Capitalism and Materiality, begin, to lose, interest, as one truly, believes, they can, get, anything they want, by, Seduction alone].
Even then, these, other ways of life, still remain, of, interest, as Africa [as a backward continent really], has to do, with, its manifesting, power [ (displaying) money, (gaining) sex, (observing) respect], in the form, of, Family-Business (Extended Families), but all, done, at, very, political levels, of 'excitability' [similar in nature really, to, American Gang movies, such as, 'American Gangster'] [One of the main reasons too, why Africa, has failed, to develop, Worldly Institutions (as due mainly, to operating, from, the, Extended Families, level)].
The world today, has, largely regressed, to, the point, whereby, Family Networks [as with, Extended Families], no longer, even, exist [as with, the basic, attempt, to manifest, power], and one finds, that, instead, one has, Individual Efforts [associated with, what, they call, Community-oriented, business (and not, Community-based, Business & denoting in all, that these, businesses, Communty-oriented, are actually, attempting, to create, Community]; Individual Efforts, are more, of the norm really, today, in a world, very much, facing, a, Global Economic collapse [due mainly, to, dependencies, on oil, and the truth really, that, nothing much, goes on, in the world, out there (as with, a, Community-oriented, World)].
Social Classifiers, are terms, in all, associated, with, defining people, as seen, from, the viewpoint, of, manifesting power [e.g. being Arab, Euro, Mzungu, Indian, Puerto Rican, Jamaican, 'White Man', 'White Woman' and even, Carioca (Sao Paulo)], which are, all terms, associated, with how, different peoples, out there, seek, to manifest, power, and are in all, not, racial, or cultural classifiers really, but somewhat, historical classifiers (as with, evolution too), in all [the word Mzungu, is not, the term, for, 'white man' really, as many suppose, but, a Swahili Term, for those, in, the Victorian World, who, chose, to live, like, an Arab (meaning in all, that, there are, white, black and brown, Mzungus)]. What some call too, 'Ethnic slurs', such as, 'Chinaman', or even, 'Japo', are terms too, associated, with, manifesting power, and especially, with, regards, to 'cultural habits' [the current President of Kenya, is in many ways truly, a Black Mzungu, and the Kenyan Presidency, has traditionally, been, associated, with Wazungus] [William (Prince), would be, a White Mzungu, in Kenya].
The Preconscious Memory:
All the above, Information (or Knowledge really), is in many ways, in all, stored, in ones, Preconscious Memory [especially, as with, regards to, Constructs, Paradigms, and, 'Models of Reality'], but expressed really, in the form, of, Realization, Group Realization, and finally too, Self-Realization.
Below though, we shall attempt, to show (present really), how, the above, forms, of Realization, are expressed, in, general Society today, in more or less, an, Art form. That in different Regions/Societies, of the World, taking civilization, to, the next level, has always been, based, on, the following, Literary, 'forms of presentation' [or what, some call, Literary Studies/Works, perhaps], as seen mainly, in, different parts, of, the World.
North America: the Mystery
The Literary, 'form of presentation', commonly known, as, the Mystery, has traditionally, been, used, in North America, to express, Realization, in all, its forms. A surprise perhaps, but when many, do say, that, North America (including Canada even), was once, rather, exciting, its because, the above forms, of, Realization, occurred, in the form, of, the Mystery [as with, someone, having, a secret life, or even too, mysterious parentage].
Suitable source: 'The Best American Mystery Stories of the Century' by Tony Hillerman and Otto Penzler
South America: The Article
The Article, is in many ways, often associated, with, Newspaper articles [as in many ways, the first, Newspapers, did speak, of, Realization (in Society), as do, South American Newspapers, to this day, still, very much do]. In many ways though, the Article, also comes, in, the form, of, the document, 'a paper', report, 'kind of document', and even, journal entry [all which, deal, with, Realization, as often, seen, in South American, Society].
Suitable source: 'Warriors in the Mist' by Susan D. Kalior, and even, 'Eleganta' by Denny Swartzlander, are in all, sources, that, South Americans, can turn to, as with, Realization really, as 'Fantasy', in the form, of, novel, book, game, or even, movie, is really in all, a form, of, the Article, and having to do, with, Realization, in all its forms.
Europe: The Fairy Tale
The Fairy Tale, might seem, a, rather shocking, surprise, to put in here, but in all ways, it has, represented, Europe, in all its forms, from, the perspective, of, Realization. In more complex forms, the Fairy Tale, comes, in the form, of, the Memoir (of Sherlock Holmes perhaps), and even, Bram Stokers, 'Dracula'.
Suitable source: 'Western Society, a Brief History' by John P. McKay (and his other works too), is in many ways, what, some call, a' Documented Source', and does speak, of, Realization, as seen, in European History [the "Documented Source', as, a 'form of representation', has come, to influence, History today, as with how really, some, choose, to write it out (as with for example, Academic Afrocentrism, Academic Eurocentrism etc.). What they too call, Poetic sources, such as, 'The Song of Rowland', or even, the works, of Dante (Alighieri), are in all really, presentations, of, Fairy Tales, in one form, or, another.
Africa: The Adventure
The Adventure, is a form, of, Literary presentation, that, in most ways, speaks of, Realization, as often, seen/perceived, in, the African world. African Political Journals, are often, in, the form, of, the Adventure, as is most, of, African, Storytelling [all speaking, of, Realization, in one form, or, another].
Suitable source: 'Into Africa' by Martin Dugard, and even too, 'Gold of Kings' by Davis Bunn [Adventure and Realization, for the, listless, African Mind].
South East Asia: The Composition
Popularly known, in, the British influenced world, but does, come, in many other, versions, such as, the, Literary piece, the Production, or even, the Score. Popularly known though, mainly, in, the form, of, the Score [as with, TV shows, or even, School Compositions], and popularly associated too, with, the world, of, Romantic Fiction.
Suitable source: 'Edgar Allan Poe: Complete Tales and Poems' by Edgar Allan Poe
East Asia: The Tale
The Tale, is a form, of, storytelling, heavily associated, with, the East Asian world, and especially, the Japanese world. One of the more, famous, Tales out there, is, Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov [which in many ways, is really, an, East Asia Tale]. The Tale too, helped, give birth, to what, they, call, Cinema [as Fairy Tales too, deal with, the Film, and Mysteries, with, the Movie].
Suitable source: 'Tales of Old Japan' by Algernon Bertram
The Middle East: The Hadithi
The Hadithi, has its origins, in, the Swahili world, and is in, many ways, a kind, of, a Tale [unique to itself though, as in, it, best approximates, the, Tale, from all, the above]. What makes, the Hadithi, rather interesting, is that, it attempts, to throw in, the, Spiritual, Religious, and even, Magical, into, everyday Realities, and lives too ['superstitious tales' for instance, associated, with, black cats for example]. The Hadithi too, in many ways, helped, give birth, to what, some call, Motion Pictures.
Suitable source: 'The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson' by Ralph Waldo Emerson [while, the Middle East, is replete, with, all kinds, of, Hadithi, the Hadithi really, offered here, do go well, with, the Namib Desert, and even, Cold Deserts in all].
