(Part 9qv of 11)
We live in human configured environments that are sterile of nature.
This causes us to seek satisfactions and fulfillment of self without sufficient understandings of the self in all else. This happens because the “all else” has been marginalized in our daily lives, until all that's left in our stunted thought processes, is the “we humans are the apex creation.”
Even our concept of the Divine Spirit is woefully confined to the human context. (God does not just look like humans, God looks like each and everything). This huge absence of logic leaves the Us and Them without optimal connection to the Sem and Sem or Sem and Sen or She and He. Thus the combined functioning of our Sen-ses bears little re-Sem-blance to the whole total, to wholeness, to harmony to harmonious thinking and behavior, to healthy thinking and behavior.
In others words, this describes what's behind our toxic minds.
It undermines the Utopia mindspace and Utiopia paradise heaven we are trying to find that memory bliss we miss. Thus we drift.
Again we go back, to the beginning: “We live in human configured environments that are sterile of nature.”
It is not possible to live in an environment sterile of nature because everything is nature.
Thus it is better said that we live in human configured environments that are out of balance.
Thus, because we know the harmful effects of being out of balance, then we can say “toxic” means “that which is out of balance with itself.”
Despite toxic minds we should still know better because of the natural world within us. This natural world microcosm in us, despite corruption and functioning suboptimally, is still more in balance with the divine than the human societies we allow ourselves to be defined by and confined by.
As long as you can control the institutions, you can control the [thinking and] behavior of people. - Dr. Bobby E. Wright
If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller
We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani
