When Plato described "justice" as the triumph of "reason" over "passion" in human beings, he was laying out a blue print for what he wanted the "men" of the Republic to become. Rationality helps to create a certain kind of person ("individual").
Caucasian "rationalistic ideology" has created a particular kind of person who can be expected to behave in certain characteristic ways.
In Plato's day there may have been only an inconsequential number of people "capable" of conceiving in this way. Now, whites are almost "born" with a concept of themselves as a, distinct psyche, isolated from all "others" and being responsible only to themselves.
The Platonic, "thinking-self" that exist separately and distinctly from the objects it encounters, enabled Caucasians to construct a rationalistic science.
Rationalistic science serves as the supremely valued activity, replacing "religion" (spiritual knowledge).
What is considered to be science and scientific method is regarded with the awe and humility that in other cultures represents the "religious attitude."
"Scientific man" indicates a state of mind and of being: a way of looking at the world. Scientific man is "he" who approaches the universe with a particular attitude. Scientific man is above all logical, remote and detached.
Scientific knowledge is the ability to control, manipulate, and predict the movements of people and other "objects.
The desire for power - ever expanding control - is the basis of Caucasian culture, science, representing the epitome of rational control and manipulation to the Caucasian mind, becomes a primary means of power.
Scientism is but its universalistic expression.
A scientific ideology was unavoidably attractive to the Caucasian mind.
What they called "scientific truth" - a truth stripped of its human implications - could be imparted and absorbed "coldly" and rationally ("scientifically").
The extension of the scientific method in every aspect of human contemplation and experience was dictated by the Caucasian fear of the spiritual-emotional, which does not lead itself readily to manipulation and control.
Objectification and the scientific method give the illusion of the kind of control and power that the Caucasian UTAMAROHO requires.
The Caucasian psyche needs the illusion of a rationally ordered universe in which everything can be known.
The supremacy of the rational mode requires that the human being be split into rational and irrational (emotional) tendencies. The rational self offers the possibility of knowledge (control), while the emotional self is a constant threat to the loss of control.
By controlling the emotions and dulling the senses, "it" (the ego) is able to project "itself" and to seek domination of others.
Rationalistic epistemology, requires that the "self" be split and that its emotional ground be denied. That which is denied represents precisely the aspects of the human SOUL that allow one "self" to join with another.
The "rational man," is above all the person who is in control of his passions.
He makes decisions - choices based on reason - the proper and invulnerable guide.
Being in control of himself puts him in a better position to manipulate and control others - those who are irrational or less rational.
He has power over others by virtue of his rationalism.
Through the institutionalization and abstraction of the "rational" decision-making process - of which science is constituted - he believes that he can even control his destiny.
He plans, predicts, and creates his future.
Other cultures are experienced as the emotional, uncontrolled self. It is "just" ("rational") that inferiors should be conquered by superior beings.
This control of the emotions begins to imply the elimination of feeling.
Whites learn to value unemotional behavior, by being cold, uninvolved, "rational" they gain respect, referred to as the achievement of "objectivity."
Rationalism and its ascendance to the position of dominant cultural mode, dehumanizes humanity as it consciously de-spiritualizes the universe.
De-spiritualization of the world denied whites the possibility of transcendence, of attaining a sense of the divine, an awareness of the sacred dimension, the experience of the eternal, to exceed the boundaries of a conceptually limited EGO.
The lack of identification with others was in Plato's conception the primary rational act.
The idea of "identification with," love of, and sympathy or empathetic understanding for others goes against the grain of the Caucasian tradition; it is an epistemological, ideological, political, and spiritual contradiction.
A morality based on "altruism" is inconceivable in the Caucasian context.
The universe transformed into lifeless matter, the supernatural is reduced to the natural, which means merely physical.
Spirituality represents a constant threat to the ordered system Caucasian have constructed.
Once the human spirit had been devalued as a DETERMINANT and inspiration of culture, the character of the culture itself began to move further and further in the direction of the DENIAL of that spirit.
This is the result of the de-sacralization of the universe by the Caucasian UTAMAWAZO and the arrogance that accompanies it.
Caucasian culture is a culture with, a non-spiritual ideological base.
This essential and defining characteristic has allowed it to become the most materially successful culture, the most aggressively political culture, the most scientifically rational culture, and the most psycho-pathological culture the world has ever known.
It is at the same time the only culture that provides little source of spiritual or emotional well-being for its members, It carries little tradition of insight into the human spirit and virtually no knowledge of the human SOUL.
It is atrophied toward nonhuman realities.
The Caucasian utamawazo - its intense rationalism, analysis, objectification, and lineality - all contribute to the illusion of intellectual power and the achievement of material power.
The Platonic emphasis, mandated the use of "objectification" as the essential mental "tool" of conceptual rationalism.
Intense objectification is a prerequisite for the de-spiritualization of the universe, and through it the Caucasian/white "world" was made ready for ever increasing materialization.
Materialization begins with the separation of spirit and matter. This separation, results in the denial of spirit (de-spiritualization), the loss of meaning, and the loss of cosmos (inter-relationship).
But these mechanisms are breaking down since the essential problem of the Caucasian white world is spiritual, and demands another perspective on existence.
This mode of thought that has worked so well to produce the kind of technical and social order that Caucasian's desire has also created a moral and spiritual disaster.
Caucasian culture presents the individual it produces with only the alternatives of materialism, scientism, and rationalism, but what the Caucasian needs is the inner peace that comes with COMMUNION (merging) with others, the sense of oneness, and emotional identification with other people.
Rational ordering becomes a sublimated form of violence.
Rational order can never be more than a creation of human beings in partial recognition of who they are - in partial recognition of their cosmic significance.
Rational order is the order of lesser beings, who can only experience a part of what is possible.
