The Wretch  <   Moderate Middle   >   The King

=============================================================

 I. 
     We should focus all our attention upon an ongoing conflict between a formal king, a figure of his character is depicted on the far right hand side of the above political spectrum, and, in turn, an informal wretch, a figure of her character is depicted on the far left hand side of it.  Also, every false dichotomy should be discerned from this true one.      

II.  
     Utilizing the model above for better visualization, as the metaphor of the king would represent the greatest of rulers, the wretch, in turn, being she is his exact inverse, or perverse, would represent the very least among the slaves.  The king is rational in his thinking knowing all things; meanwhile, the irrational wretch is distracted by a burden.  As the king owns every property and all things on that property, the wretch owns nothing as she is deemed an illegal trespasser.  As he is sovereign being exempt and immune in all matters, she is powerless and her existence judged criminal.  As she will have to learn how to prostitute herself in order to survive, so the king is well able bodied having been taught when he was a young prince how to prostitute others in order to thrive.

III.
     Being opposite forces, while the nature of the king's authority would always be growing and expanding, the nature of the wretch's authority would always be withering and shrinking.  When each of them were younger, while he was sent to school to be trained how to control his authority, she had to learn how to survive by manipulating his authority.
     After maturing into adults, while the king would be honored as an important knower, in turn, the wretch would be deemed to know nothing of importance.  Pertaining to the remaining rational knowers between these two both serving under the important king and ruling over the worthless wretch, there are at least three types.  They are the sophists, the philosophers, and the alphas.
     The eloquent sophist (literally means wisdomer) is skilled in the art of debate.  He or she is an orator who entertains audiences with debates concerning truth and demonstrations of how such a virtue cannot exist.  He or she substantiates their conclusion by arguing both sides of a topic spending half of their performance presenting one point of view and afterwards, perhaps after taking a break, spending the other half of it presenting the opposing point of view.  Granted, as the ultimate Truth is an infinite measure of eternity, the point made by these sophists has validity as such a place would be unapproachable to us.

     The second type of rational knowers are the philosophers (lovers of wisdom).  While they do acknowledge the validity of the sophist argument, they train their minds further by the utilization of truth engines.  Indeed, these philosophers develop mental disciplines in which quantities of raw information (data) are inputted for the purpose of reducing a large amount of content down to that of a smaller output of formal quality truths.  So, while, in fact, it is not possible to arrive at the Truth by the use of truth engines, one can arrive at certain best-principled paths which lead in a direction towards that ultimate virtue.  The third type of knowers are the alphas.  They are deemed to be knowers by the position of their births.  To put it simply, the alphas are sovereign by inheritance. Society either chooses to respect these alphas as supreme or else.  Any disagreement with their bully rationale will get quickly overpowered.    
     Of the three types of rational people depicted above, the alphas have always remained somewhat of a mystery.  Indeed, in ancient records, fearful writers would have to sidestep depicting and documenting the cruel and brutal methods utilized by these alphas.  Oh, sure, from time to time certain rulers will get called out as tyrants, but those types of accusations by the press pertain generally to such abstract rulers as Adolph Hitler, Saddam Hussein, or Fidel Castro.  These animated puppet-like tyrants serve a purpose as they help paint a pretty picture of a real and happy world ruled over by rational alpha knowers with good characters.  

     Not daring to give the pretty but irrational picture presented above much thought, we, instead, bow fearfully to these alpha rulers.  More than just that, the paradoxical fact is, we tend to elect these bullies into office.  Invariably, the system of choice is always to vote for those who rule by force of action.
     Indeed, a paradox exists involving the control of government.  While, on one hand, we do need to be practical in our approach, on the other, it is impossible to control government by the endless legislation of laws.  Indeed, we have been blinded today by the law.  To regain our vision, we need to stand upon this absolute -- While the supreme power is in the Truth, the ultimate Truth needs no action.  Meanwhile, the false powers of manipulation deceive us away from this Truth.   Unfortunately, it is impractical to be ruled by such a power as this ultimate Truth as such a place is unapproachable to us.  However, rather than choose a middle ground, we have chosen to resign ourselves to a perpetual state of abuse instead, one which utilizes the false powers of manipulation.  

     Such fallen power is maintained and increased by way of disinformation.   To understand the difference between misinformation and disinformation, while misinformation are lies perpetuated by the state for reasons deemed to be in the best interest of the people, disinformation are justifications for utilizing those lies.  In other words, while misinformation deals with the deception of others, disinformation deals more with the deceiving of oneself.  While misinformation is deceit caused by the deliberate propagation of untruths, disinformation is self deception caused by the spreading of fraudulent dichotomies.  These fraudulent dichotomies are poison.  Indeed, they work to intoxicate both the alpha knowers and those under their rule.  This is why the alpha rulers don't follow their consciences as they have become political drunkards.  By their partaking of the false powers of manipulation,, they have become political drunkards without a conscience.  

    Such fraudulent dichotomies are most often expressed as conflicts between male and female.  Understand, in the formal dichotomy expressed in the above model between the king and the wretch, the ongoing conflict is not male versus female.  Indeed, a man can live wretched just as a woman can rule as a king over her children.
     Other than male against female, other fraudulent dichotomies are white against black, the young against the old, the poor against the rich, and on and on endlessly.  Simply put, the drunken alphas manufacture deceit on a foundation of false dichotomies.  They feel they are justified in spreading lies because of a deception of disinformation has deceive them into believing that they will one day be standing blameless under the Light of Truth.  Yet, these false powers of manipulation cheat people by distracting their focus away from the one true dichotomy.  Again, the model dichotomy above is the formal one as it depicts what has long been an eternal conflict ongoing between a king of the highest rank and that of a wretch of the lowest.

     Today, we shouldn't just read what every past philosopher and sage wrote and said; but, we should also consider what they couldn't write or say about those ruling over them.  Neither Tao Te Ching, Confucius, Socrates, or Plato along with many others could write or speak freely about such alpha knowers, but had to be submissive lowering their eyes when addressing such rulers in either rational conversation or in written prose.  So, while one won't read much about these alpha knowers in ancient texts, realize how their threatening stares were always ever present over society.  But remember also how we are so helpless as people that we can't even help ourselves.  Indeed, the best we can seem to institute to rule over us are governments of bullies.  This human frailty is why our Founding Fathers chose to establish government as a necessary tyranny.  As the people by and large should and can take care of themselves, this necessary tyranny would function, as our Founders had it envisioned, as just a part of what would become a dynamic ever improving more perfect Union.
     Considering this more perfect Union, the endeavor of government does not revolve around laws alone or around order alone, understand these as different, but government is a proper, procedural relationship between both law and order.  When it acts as a tyranny on the whole body, the process of government backslides into an out of control cancer of laws legislated thoughtlessly for the sake of the law.  In other words, law in-and-of-itself is no better than chaos.  During such times, the people become burdened with establishing a whole new order outside of the vain process of the implementation of thoughtless endless laws.  After the new order is established as the end, then both a means of a new government is institutionalized as a necessary tyranny and whole new laws are erected as necessary evils all for the purpose of advancing the new order.  

     Again, this rates repeating, looking at government critically, tyranny is a chaotic process which follows the wrong order.  It is a process which legislates laws thoughtlessly for the sake of the law.  As a consequence, government itself becomes the glory and the purpose for the people living.  In contrast, the people weren't created to be equal or responsible, but to be exponential in their happiness.  So, by nature, they will seek out a higher new order of government as opposed to remaining under the old institution of legislating laws thoughtlessly, endlessly, and pointlessly.  After establishing such a new order as an end, they will then both institutionalize the means of a new government as a necessary tyranny and erect new laws not for the sake of the law, but as necessary evils all for the express purpose of advancing the new order.   

     The endeavor of government and the legislating of laws are not meant to be an end, but are means to achieving a greater end.  That greater end is to advance the wretch's Civil-Purpose.  Indeed, as the sophists would say, it is impractical to think that we can govern ourselves by the Truth as such a virtue is unapproachable to us.  At the same time, as the philosophers would say that we should not give in to being enslaved by alpha deceit involving the false powers of manipulation.  The idea is to create government as a necessary tyranny.  However, as it is with any necessary evil, authority needs to be circumcised.           

                     

IV.
     Much to their benefit, as the king and his supporting tyranny have always managed to avoid having their roles defined clearly in society, so has the character of the lowly wretch remained a mystery also.  This is because society has always been thought to be divided into just two classifications of a master-class and a slave-class.  However, upon closer examination, society reveals the existence of a third class.  These three classes as a whole are a master class, a slave class, and an outcaste class.  While the master class has long exploited the slave class, in turn, they together exploit another class of outcaste.      

The Outcaste Wretch

V.
As the king is the master on one hand, the wretch is the outcaste on the other.  Metaphorically, she is the very least rated among three types of slaves.  These three types are the wife, the commoner, and the wretch.  Of these prostituted in society, the highest rated is the wife.  She is a woman who is rated worthy enough to sleep in the king's bed.  The second highest rated of the prostitute is the commoner (serfdom) woman.  While she is not rated worthy enough to sleep with the king, her life will be spared as long as she is willing to kneel in his presence.  Finally, the lowest rated of the prostituted is the wretch.  She has been outcaste from the king and his kingdom even to the extent that she will be killed on sight.

     Compared to the wretch, the king is divided into two types. These two are a Son of God and a Son of man.  A Son of God is renowned as he is intimately known with a namesake being as he was born the offspring of a king. The fearful people will honor a princely Son of God as greater in worth than even his own father the king. In contrast, a Son of man is a stranger as he is the offspring of the wretch, with her being a metaphor for the very least. In contrast to how they will praise a Son of God, the fearful people will show disdain towards a Son of man rating him to be worth even less than his nameless and faceless parents. A paradox is expressed here for, just as the term "God" has an intimate meaning, the term "mankind" has just the opposite impersonal classification. So, the one who is blessed as a Son of God will tend to be exalted by the fearful masses as greater than the very greatest; meanwhile, in stark contrast, the one who is a cursed Son of man(kind) will be rejected by them as they will tend to degrade such a lowly person rating him as more worthless than the very least.
     As a person's face represents their authority, so the king possesses a glorious face.  In contrast, the wretch has no face as the Son of man is born out of her.  As it is with a dog, the wretch is recognized by her behind.  Indeed, dogs recognize each other by the sniffing of their behinds.      

The Master King

   
     Indeed, a Son of God is empowered by the praises of the people just as governments receive their power from the consent of the governed.  For example, the Buddha received his empowerment from wise men who sought after him.  To find his whereabouts, as they were born with a gift to see the universe as a page, so they were able to seek him out by reading the stars.  When they finally had pinpointed his residence, they found the Buddha inside had not yet been born as he was still within his pregnant mother's womb.  So, they picked him up by carrying the whole bed along with his mother still laying upon it.  Unfortunately, during the birthing process, his mother died.  As he grew, it was the people who taught the Buddha teaching him about ideal perfection for, being Hindus, they believed in their hearts that he was the very manifestation of God Himself.            Problem is, someone left the door of the palace wide open which one day allowing the Buddha to venture out from his ideal palace into the real world.  Here he would become traumatized after witnessing for the first time the harsh realities of sickness, hunger, poverty, crime, and old age.  Quite offended at being so misled in his education about the world, the Buddha would then demand that he be further taught everything pertaining to the reality of the outside world.  So, as they believed he was the very manifestation of God, the people then had to teach him about reality also.  The point here being that the people were the ones who were responsible for empowering the Buddha.  In the beginning, the Buddha was taught an ideal life within a palace apart from the world and what it was like to live as a king.   Later, he then learned about a real life outside in the world and what it was like to have to live as a wretch.

     Similarly, Saul of Tarsus had to live the life of the worst human being to ever live.  He was the unforgiven one who offended the Holy Spirit by his actions of hunting down and persecuting Christian believers.  Indeed, during His torture and crucifixion, Jesus in the flesh did not ask king Herod or the preface Pontius Pilate the question of why they were persecuting Him.  No, that question was reserved for Saul, the one who was truly held responsible for His persecution.  In other words, Saul of Tarsus was the greatest one among the very worst who offended the Holy Spirit.  The worst I speak of here were those responsible for empowering the wayward emperors -- those empowered ones who would dare to declare themselves living gods and would demand to be worshipped as such.  So, the judgement of the Holy Spirit was preserved to fall upon Saul as the lone responsible one.  As a consequence, the person of Saul had to be put to death spiritually, indeed, Saul could never be forgiven.  As a result, Saul was put to death and then born again as Paul and then transformed into the Apostle Paul, the highest authority over all the other apostles as God's chosen vessel. 

     To elaborate even further, later on, it wasn't a king of England who would pronounce himself, by way of proclamation, to possess absolute power. No, it was one of the subjects under him named Sir Robert Filmer.  Robert Filmer wrote a book of political philosophy called "The Partriarcha" which leaned towards increasing the king's empowerment.  Of course, in writing such a book, Robert Filmer was looking for the king's favor concerning his own advancement and increased empowerment within the ruling monarchy.  In contrast, John Locke had to write a challenge to Sir Robert Filmer in secret to the extent that it was only after his death that his true identity was revealed by request within his last will and testament. 

      Similar to the Buddha, Moses had to be first raised up as a king.  Along the way, his rise to power was challenged as he was exposed to the fact that his true family were actually the Hebrew slaves in bondage to the Egyptians.  After coming to this realization, Moses chose to lower himself to become a slave.  In this way, Moses could understand the plight of the most wretched from the point of view of a king.  When the stuttering and stammering Moses would later return to free his people, in order not to offend the predatory nature of Pharaoh, he was wise enough to hide his weakness by utilizing his brother Aaron as a strong interpreting mouthpiece.
                

VI.
     Similarly as Moses, as the voice of the most worthless wretch among us might warn, so we should be careful speaking in fear or in threats towards the king's authority as to do so will only serve in getting us a beaten on every level.  Indeed, the alpha king, the metaphorical lion, both devours what he fears and what is a threat to his domain.  Like the wretch, except for our inborn natural rights, we possess no power.  Like our Founders, while we should remain submissive to the king's authority, we should always be on guard willing to both disobey any violation committed against both our natural rights to live as free souls, and, at a moments notice, to enslave ourselves of our own free will, to the common duty of fighting for those rights.  But we should also be wise kings knowing in our hearts that, as it is one thing to have to face a band of crazed men fighting for who knows what, it is quite another to be run over by a wretch intent, for the sake of her litter, on finding exponential contentment for their development!
      

VII. 
     In order to ordain our new nation, the hearts of our Founding Fathers reduced towards a natural law.  Their blessing of this new order was in opposition to the traditional ordainment of the day which, based on the legal precedence of the Old World, required the blessing and crowning of a new king.  Our Founders could have made themselves Lords over us.   Indeed, under the authority of a new king, they could have governed over us as conquering officials.  Instead, they chose to function intimately among us - of, by, and for as Abraham Lincoln once so elegantly perceived - for the purpose of addressing all future tyrants and tyrannies that might rise up to threaten our new nation.  As they stood upon a foundation constructed of their own ancestors, they themselves made a precious alteration to world history.  When doing so, they were mindful of His possible divine providence moving against them, as they had both signed their names of their own free will and taken a sacred oath all under penalty of His judgement.  Rather than cower and continue to perpetuate the same old tyranny, they took a thoughtful step forward narrowing with the declaration that we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Necessary Tyranny

The People

VIII.
     As all our ancestors have braved the same great darkness and then perished for our sake, so we all should focus our attention towards a single dichotomy, perceiving with a subtle eye the true tyranny that now threatens our Union.  Indeed, aren't they the very best mannered, the most pleasant, and the very kindest among us?  Ast they uplift us with the most eloquent of speeches, aren't they tricking us into selling our souls, cheating us with empty boxes of goods adorned with the prettiest of outer wrappings, and stumbling us up with false hope and quick changes implemented for the sake of change?  Such chaos has divided our people against themselves to the extent of atrocity.  Behold as white fathers are being blinded into fighting against their own black sons, people are being forced to reject their natural rights, the very inborn powers provided to them by God Almighty, and, worst of all, the wretch is being distracted into abandoning her children for political causes.    

     This desperation today has us looking to salvage from what we most treasure from a scattered inheritance.  As the same would be true among all the multitude of the earth, concerning the messages that were left to us by our Founding Fathers, so should we never amend beyond what are the most precious of alterations.  As already stated, our Founders once acted out a little masterpiece on our behalf, daring to perish with us during its enactment, indeed, even to sit and tarry with us as common members of the congregation, burdened during that crucial time to the extent that they were willing to throw off their rightful social statuses as Gentlemen.  They did forfeit willingly those rightful empowered titles when they divorced us from tyranny - when they cut our new nation off from the Old World economy.  As our desperate Founders once thoughtfully and carefully narrowed to what they most treasured as their own inheritance, so do we the people today reject every false dichotomy in order to focus our attention on a single conflict between a king and a wretch.

     As our Founders once declared, so do "we the people" of these United States today declare the highest of kings and the lowest of wretches as both equal in their power and in the endowment provided to them by their Creator, with each possessing in their beings the same exact business agenda for Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
