ARTICLES ON HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS

Language Requires a Deus Ex Machina  Every language has a god. Every linguistic code quickly adopts its genius  to express its projection of ultimate power. We can test this. The Hebrews  found a god that would ensure that they were forever the chosen people.  Hesiod and Homer made a genealogy of the gods for the […]

Poetry is a test of justice. The human ear is able to detect justice – or the want of justice – in each sound proceeding from the mouth of men. Each line of a poem, or a speech, is either just or it is unjust. This constitutes the only possible theory of poetry. A sentence […]

Modern civilization makes a one-way voyage of  discovery. What any epoch finds permanently marks it out as unique. Gloriously, any given culture discovers one true thing.  The Greek, Roman and Anglo-American empires found one true thing – a global Western civilization that cut across all other  indigenous cultures. Any people touched by these world  empires were […]

This is the first epoch where Western poets are not vital agents of  human society. This is the first age when the strongest minds chose not to become poets. So it is not a question of what is wrong with modern poets — that question is moot. There are none known to the entire nation. There […]

Any philosophy of man must define its subject. How to define Homo sapiens? Since there are no other facts of the origin of the human condition, we may only remark the behavior first identifying the species. As recognized by anthropologists, Homo sapiens is that species that carefully buried their dead with hope of futurity – […]

Men say what they see in life. If they have wintered,
then winter is in their eyes. But none can winter till they
feel the cold. We hear the flutter of wings but never
catch the throat we desire…

Homo sapiens has no evidence for the terrestrial origin of his self-conscious mind. The human mind possesses no half-way points of biological evolution. There are no intermediate links connecting animal instinct to human self- consciousness. We are just now placing Homo sapiens in his proper context. There are only whispers about what happened during the early moments of Homo […]

Story Theory is the philosophical clarity permitting modern man to renounce scientism as a supposed choice between a physical reality (of material  science) and a spiritual reality (of inward poetry, myth, faith). It is easy to point out their exact similarities. Each is an idea within the mind, each uses symbols to make plausible order, makes […]

In Story Theory, whoever controls the World Metaphor (hegemonic language) controls the World Island (Pangaea). We know there is a World Metaphor since human language is a metaphoric construction and each civilization propagates its unique linguistic genius in a race for supremacy. When a language of civilization becomes hegemonic, it controls the World Metaphor. The […]
