The individual, individualism and individualistic notions have been discussed many times.
We've been living during a period of individualism, me-ism. Already we know this is highly problematic. Individualism, as previously discussed, is a form of suicide. Why? Because individualism cuts off a large portion of self, as if that portion is less important. As a result our destinypurposes, though they are still close and joint, are not understood as such, thus we spend a great deal of time and other resources wasting energy being inefficient trying to carve out a name for ourselves or make history. This we do using a suboptimal context, thus we are using our genetic potential to manifest suboptimal destinypurposes, instead of optimal destinypurposes. Most of us do what society, allows, wants, values and will pay us to do. Nowhere in that last sentence is the focus on what kind of seed we are, what are its purposes, what are its destinies.
Thus what happens is, over the course of a few short generations, the norm becomes the society rather than the greater universal our genetic potential is seeking to express.
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
