This work will never be finished - as it only can be a seed, besides of my limitations and declining abilities as life is winding up.

Everyone of us has this magnificent world, great people and miraculous society, a plenty of good and harmony that we are blessed with!

It is a challenging world, and we would not really want it any other way.

Afterthoughts

Eventually, this Tale has turned into contradiction between initial intent of covering it all, and the final need of focusing on the most important. Which was probably pretty inevitable and unavoidable.

What is this effort good for, anyway? Is it a proper vehicle for the elevation idea?

There is a lot of sadness in the plenty of knowledge. How much of joy is born of it?

The learning and search for new knowledge are enjoyable.

To what extent things and statements can be explained? A metaphor or an ambiguous statement can be laconic, efficiently expressing the most complicated ideas. In the attempt of explanation the multitudes of meaning can be lost. As the explanation brings in many other things, it becomes less and less helpful as it grows.

The main attention devoted to the universally true things, this effort however has ideological component, with its non-deliberate part in some ways more important than its deliberate ones, ideological component that includes evaluation of and attitude toward the current state of affairs and of the viable options present, which is driving the perceptions, choices and desires.

It occurs that the writing is too honest to be immediately efficient, taking nothing from Karl Marx’s lesson of “Machiavellian” fraud with respect to economy and philosophy. With his and his followers’ use of the political means and of propaganda being aimed at revolutionary class struggle, his economic and philosophical theory being wrong in nearly every possible aspect, while masterfully laden with the political propaganda - one must conclude that its philosophical and economic “mistakes” were deliberate fraud in service of political goals.

In the struggle one needs to be able to match adversary to defeat him, sometimes adopting the effective fighting ideas that contribute to his strength. With lacking here of specific analysis of revolutionary wars and propaganda, it might be possible and advisable to use the Marxist approach toward them – of course them thoroughly cleaned of philosophical and economical garbage. Talking about turning the weapon of your archenemy to your advantage. Evil disharmony provides a vital component of noble elevation harmony!

The society is built and intended to suite its participants abilities, so it is not necessary to understand all inner working to be reasonably successful. Until it fails its task, that is.

The writing is uneven, and while some parts convey definite key ideas, others are examples of their application, or present some background information that readers might be not familiar with, or address the current issues before us.

We go on, merging Spiritual and Material truth, upholding Nobility and defeating Marxism.

One cannot see own blind spots.

Everything is a starting point, for the rest of it.

The specific lessons can be misleading, as circumstances change. The more general are ideas and observations, the wider is their practical value. On other hand, the closer is problem to the prototype the more useful might be specific solutions.

The hope is to assist with few steps of the infinite elevation, infinite the steps themselves might be.

Rational and Irrational – they participate in everything, their interconnect being immensely important and tricky.

The culture integrates both and is sustained by their synergy.

We rationalize somewhat the irrational, and somewhat convert the rational to irrational.

The rational understanding/presentation of the irrational is possible only to a limited degree.

How to convey both, is there really a chance of that being successful?

It is partially a matter of literary art, which overcomes limitations of the rational, using the very same Rational-Irrational interconnect that is so hard to describe, a sense of humor for example.

The religion integrates rational and irrational in its own way. To obtain such integration without religious mystique is one of the challenges of our era.

The live society is like culture, and in many ways is a culture. The attempts to improve social order and conditions must not rely on the rational considerations only, as we deal also with that irrational component that must change and will change - possibly defying our rational expectations.

Traditional courting, rivalry, family, religion, drinking, smoking, and such, are examples of culture elements that should be preserved as much as possible and changed slowly, being invisibly and irrationally linked to the well being of the whole.

Brainstorming is something that always was in the invisible, subconscious like background of thought.

This writing, for better or worse, is a brainstorming in many ways, not fully organized or complete.

The brainstorming as a method, a way of thinking, and a writing style, is the best I can manage.

The balance that makes for a successful society is too complex to be understood with needed precision.

The rational and irrational of the human beings and their interaction with tradition make the whole difference

The consequences of introduced changes can be predicted for a limited degree if at all.

When we are trying to improve something that we do not understand…

Probably, it is better to initially focus on the improvement of our understanding?

Or to initially focus on the improvement of that which we do understand?

Which was breaking point for the most of social improvement projects.

However, the development, competition and implementation of ideas is the only way available for applying consciousness to moving ahead, as the time moves ahead. In spite of dangers - we must try, combining caution with determination and passion, because stagnation is self-destructive.

Multitude of pieces - variable, multi-state, different in flexibility, constraints and limitations, combined and inter-attached, make up the apparently solid mesh of society and culture. It is kept up through natural selection on different levels of hierarchy of locality, but potential for phase transitions is there.

Things in society and culture, that work but that are not understood precisely how they work, are exactly as important as the things that are understood. When we neglect preserve them in our reasoning and decisions, which is natural if narrow rationality is being thought as the ideal, we take an unknown risk, at least.

Irrational predates Rational plus it is a component of Rational - so Irrational never can be avoided or reduced to the purely rational.

Rational and Irrational, the Mind and Will must work in concert, in order for whole setup to be successful.

The natural selection shapes both Rational and Irrational. Without natural selection, the Rational can be shaped.

To an extent Irrational can be shaped by Rational, more precisely through Irrational-Rational-Irrational chain.

All bad things come from premature optimization.

And since optimization is hard, bad things are inevitable.

Everything has a framework, place and time, or rather a whole multi-layer envelopment of them.

Besides the context, consider viewpoint.

Surely, the framework that I am writing in is different from the framework that you are reading in. Some things are more important and some are less important for you, than they are here and today.

Everyone’s viewpoint is being formed and enhanced through incorporating appropriate and appropriately modified elements of viewpoints of others. This tale may be helpful for your catalogue of viewpoints too, as an another example..

Huge homogenous countries and societies of today, in spite of their practical economical and military successes, cannot be optimized as fast as the smaller societies could - with those that fail to optimize, being destroyed.

The narrow-minded rationalism undermining spiritual in people, currently resulting in secularist destruction of religion and family framework – is a problem that is likely to stay around for a long time in some shape or another.

Communists, Fascists, and Liberals, in whatever they were different and mutually destroying or compensating, produce and promote the common legacy of anti-theism. Which is in fact the anti-elevation in disguise.

Overbearing Jewish influence in the cultural and political spheres of the American society is not mainly bad because it means bringing in some Jewish qualities and interests - not in what it brings to the table no matter how selfish it might be sometimes. It is in what it does not bring to the table due to limitations of the Jewish spirit, while preventing others to contribute it up from their heritage.

Tradition and Change

Time to collect the stones, and time to throw them around.

Brainstorm, evaluate, and organize.

Success is brought about by ideas, will, and doing.

Which way and how much, this can be learned and taught?

To cherish past, to welcome future, to appreciate present, is a way to go.

The Present, where we are, and the Past, and the Future - are connected through tradition and change. We depend on continuity and on change of our world - on level of the way of life, of institutions and of concepts, being kept consistent with the inevitably changing material reality.

At this juncture, the need to understand possibilities and to meaningfully influence the change - continues to grow. But we are not up to the task yet.

Spirit and Intelligence, Religion and Science, Fairytale and Knowledge, are relations that we are currently confused and divided about. The result is confusion and mayhem in the culture and politics, as the complexity of human interrelations, and possibilities available, the need of self-understanding and of common formative concepts - overgrows our ability to easily tune up the traditional means available.

Honestly, I do not know how the Universe has come about – so do not expect this question to be answered here. The God - Creator may work for you as an appropriate fairytale, while using this topic to set the stage,

The Universe exists in the state that is mostly similar to current one, for more than 10 billion years. The Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. Life on Earth is about 4 billon years old. The mammals are about 100 million years old. The humans are about 100 thousand years old. Printed word is 500 years old. WWW Internet is 50 years old.

Everyone in existence - faces the reality of material world around, plus the reality of own mind.

Mind reflects the reality of material world, accessing it through observation-action loop.

The idea of presence of material reality behind our senses is pretty obvious, but its justification cannot be purely logical, it comes from testing by experience. And experience of applying it in life and experimentation proves with the most certainty, that it is valid idea.

Human level mind is able to ask and ponder questions about its own reality and its relations to the material reality, like “what is the truth?” or “what is a fact?” or “why I believe this to be true?” or “what is agreement” or “what is contradiction” etc. Then, “what is believing?” and “what is will” and “what is suggestion”. Finally, how a fairytale conveys truth? The simple answer is, it does it through metaphor.

The Spirit is a term, apparently invented initially by the Christianity, which subsequently has been philosophically reinterpreted by Hegel and others. It is an extremely important notion in out narrative, a notion that encompasses the whole consciousness as an elevation realm.

The Will is organizing machinery of Spirit, working by way of suggestion and self-suggestion, in concert with imagination-action.

The will’s activity is triggered by urges, signals. Our body, any animal body, is being controlled by will. The will also manages itself.

The same name Will is used for the acting totality of will’s machinery.

The bodily needs and the outside suggestions define the limits of the will.

Technically, Will is being free [as much] as its self-defining aspect prevails in decision, which is certain only very short term.

Will is not free from the perceived and real consequences of the decision, and from perceived and available set of choices.

Will is being formed by the preceding history, including Will’s preceding history, and by the circumstances and by perceived circumstances, so it is not free from the past. For example, a hungry person is not free from thinking about food.

One has to conclude, that Freedom of Will in any actual individual case is limited, and is being really a part of the Freedom of the individual in general - the Will itself being a component of which.

The relative freedom of will is in its ability to choose option, the most consistent with intent/stimulus.

The absolute freedom of will is available, if there is available option, which is absolutely consistent with the intent/stimulus.

The limited prognostic ability makes the options not fully defined long term – which makes strength of will the deciding factor in maintaining consistency of choices in the adversarial environment.

Foreword

Everything has to be taken with a grain of salt, which is certainly true of this effort also.

After all, it is just a finite attempt of reflection about the infinite, of reflection that never can be final or all encompassing. This can be said with respect to the personal nature of effort, as well as to its being a part of the eternal history of attempts to understand and to make sense of things. It is always a work in progress.

This does not excuse the sloppiness and mistakes that I am guilty of here. Not everything has been done on the even level - that is for sure. But considering the width of ground to cover, actual speed that this thing has been moving forward over the years, and current state of it and of the affairs, it seems to be prudent to present this effort as it is, while continuing along with the tuning it up, if I can.

The intelligent life on Earth, our beautiful blue planet is this corner of vast Space of the material Universe with its multitude of star galaxies, ruled by precise local immutable Physical Laws - relies basically on the love of man and woman for reproduction. As civilization is constraining the biological love in order to sublimate it into socially useful motivations, a part of this sublimation must provide for elevated love - if we to continue producing new generations.

Human ability of foreseeing the future is limited in many ways, hence, the ideas that are based on vision of the future - cannot be derived as pure science. Because of that, a successful effort has to have as a purely scientific side, so a side of moral and political nature. Historically, we have religion, science, and politics, used in a sort of eclectic manner. Religion, organized around supercharged fairytale or set of fairytales, is relying on faith. Science, that relies on the objective research, representing rational side of the approach to the world. Politics represents the balancing of interests through contest of powers.

There are times to gather the stones, and there are times to throw them around. The “Fairy-tale of Truth” is an attempt of integrated basic view of material and spiritual reality, encompassing the Science and Faith, Personality, Philosophy and Politics, the “starred sky above, and moral law inside us” - an attempt that is intended to overcome contradictions of the traditional eclectic view.

Along the way, available traditional ideas have been observed, studied and inherited, and put in the right context and prospective. Few new ideas, which address some of the missing links, weak spots, and emerging world features, were added to the mix.

With the need to overcome own limitations of all sorts - no wonder, that this attempt has taken many years. Result is certainly not as simple as a childhood fairytale, sorry. It certainly falls short of the fullness of initially intended goal either - but it would be a miracle, if it would not.

The most universal topic that permeates everything here is harmony of elevation. Freedom and Nobility are based on it and understood through it, as the individual and social Spirit are.

Depending on what culture are you from, some things are bound to appear trivial to you, sorry.

On other hand, there are enough connections to allow you to get to any point of interest from where you start.

Good luck - in this fantastic voyage and beyond!

The Fairy-tale of Truth

Nobility

Elevation & Harmony

Ideas That Matter

By Alexander Zeltsman

Hear the other side of the story too!

______________

You cannot reach the sky by stairs.

Confucius

Fairy-tale may be a road to the Truth, if you are looking for one.

It descends deep into the darkness of the world beneath, rises to the

Gods of Heaven, tames our thirst with the dead water of learned wisdom, with the live water of joy and suffering, of love and hatred, of the fight and victory.

Fairy-tales convey understanding of the Good and Evil, of beautiful and ugly, of essence and meaning of Life - formed and tested by whole history of the nation and of the World.

Father had three sons. Two were clever and the third was a Fool.

When father died, clever sons inherited his estate and money, as Fool had to go and seek fate of his own. The Fool becomes a hero - meanwhile making us to dream with him about heroic and love, miracles and firebird, about kingdom and happiness. He helps the weak, solves perfidious riddles, fights the evil, and he wins. Forced to struggle, in the beginning against his will, he makes the happy end come true. He conquers love of beautiful princess, merry her, and becomes a King.

Look, even in the fairy-tale it is impossible to imagine destiny happier and more beautiful! The aspiration for love, dream of it, kindness, tenderness, courage, are the real heart of a soul. And the Nobility, through elevation of the struggle for Love to conquering of Kingdom, brings happiness.

This fairytale is so much Old World!

He is making fool of himself.

By claiming that a fool is his hero, does not he dismiss the wisdom of his writing, as being futile?

The Nobility was already retro at 16th century, when Cervantes’ Don Quixote was published.

He is moving from the fairytale to Utopia here, while almost failing to remember that new ideas are mostly well-forgotten old ones. Especially the ideas, related to social perfecting – like communist Utopia was inspired by particular prehistoric conditions.

It might be helpful to think of the real soul and mind as embodiment of a developing combination of ideas, and of real society as implementation of a combination of typical idea sets existing within its groups and individuals. It might be helpful then to start understanding of things by way of understanding of individual ideas, and of the ways that they are being combined or stand on their own in the spirit and reality.

______________

Main for the soul is natural nobility of spirit -

An inherent aspiration for pure consciousness,

Good, Beauty, Freedom

The true way of self-fulfillment and self - affirmation, is elevation of nobility.

If we were living in the fairytale, magic wand world, the absolute Nobility might be the obvious choice.

Real life choices, however, must take into account, that human beings and social structures have limited ability in supporting the quality of elevation, have limited ability of transformation, and most importantly are limited by survival needs.

The rimes of our childhood, the fairytales, the toys, they are helpful again.

They had in them everything that was needed to nurture our soul, to convey the initial and most simple but profound ideas.

As the reality is far more complex than fairytale, the ideas have to be artfully combined to describe it and act in it.

Yet we must be capable of bringing back from our childhood, the ability temporary to suspend disbelief like with fairytale.

More must be said about the idea of Nobility, and its relations to other important ideas.

The ideas in general, are functioning thought models, which our mind uses to think about things - including thinking about the ideas themselves. An idea, which is actually being used for the forming of thought, is selected due to its appeal and practicality.

Idea can be active as a social force in different ways. It can be embodied by spirit and activity of particular group or individual, and it can participate in many individual spirits.

Most of bad things come from premature attempt of optimization.

How much this tale could be made more orderly, yet still be at all?

______________

Great wisdom has value only for those,

Who has the courage to follow its call.

It is useless for the worthless,

And therefore disdained by them.

Only a noble person is able to be really free, and to achieve true happiness.

The Nobility starts from the faithfulness to oneself, to oneself native, to the Nature, from the faithfulness to the high ideals and elevated goals. It is infinitely elevated self-affirmation, bringing forth the Good in a person and in the World. It is truthfulness and adequacy of self-affirmation, richness and perfection of the soul and deeds.

Self-affirmation of a noble person is inseparable from affirmation of Nobility inside himself, outside himself, and as a common treat.

The Noble is staunch, courageous, just and generous, faithful to the ideals of Truth, of Good, of Beauty.

The Noble does not look solely for an immediate, local practical success, but rather for adequate higher and wider achievement.

His life is simple and careless, when it is possible to be happy that way. He relentlessly searches for the sound decisions and ways, immerses into jungles of theory and of self-cognition - when the right road is hidden from naked eye.

He lends his support to the morality,

He enters decisively the struggle of social revolution, when it is the right way to ensure affirmation of freedom and justice.

Human activity areas: Word, Work, and Sword.

______________

It is better with a handful of honest men

Fight dishonest army,

Than on the side of dishonest army

Fight a handful of honest men.

Nobility is the truth of spirit, perfection of self-affirmation, elevated, faithful to the Nature, and free.

The Noble is modest in his pride, since infinite elevation of Nobility never ends or reaches its limits.

The Society is being compelled by its own vital interests to give some level of support to the Nobility. At the same time it tries to keep nobility in

a kind of slavery, by suppressing its social elevation.

The forms of Nobility historically change, as well as the roles and relative importance in it of the inner virtues, of culture and fate, as well as the levels of its social importance and its widespread-ness.

What is the most important for the cause of Nobility now, as the huge deliberate and unconscious collective forces turn humans into chips in a stormy sea, or swamp them into the filthy dirt?

As all the components of Nobility are precious and necessary, the key is elevation of the self-consciousness of nobility, of its self and world understanding, which is adequate to the new challenge. This includes a new level of knowledge of the Nature and of Society.

Let us see, what else if anything you have to support this!

______________

The Nobility is not merely an end in itself, being the real truth of self-affirmation for the society and for the person.

It is the high perfection of a person, that is achievable under the circumstances tough but in own way favorable, thru the sufferings, in a struggle - and not immediately, not often, not forever.

The Nobility is the key component of Noble way, the true way in self-affirmation of the person and of the society. The way that is in turn an internal nature of the Nobility, a way the Nobility within itself is a realization of.

The True way is the Noble way. Nothing is effective unless contains elements of the Noble way.

The Noble society is like the Noble spirit; what chooses the Noble way in it, becomes victorious and affirms itself.

The Noble way of the person is a way of nobility of the society.

Passed from the previous generations movement of Nobility is to be continued and developed, bringing new powers to the eternally inherent to the human and to the world Nobility element.

The beauty of Nobility is alike the beauty and clarity of a perfect scientific theory or law, alike the efficient simplicity of correct solution of the arduous problem.

______________

Geometry is the art of successful

Reasoning over poorly made draughts..

It might be that you laugh of me. It is being said, that single step separates the great from laughable.

It is up to you to make such step.

The Nobility, the Love, the Friendship, the Beauty, the Courage, all the elevated perceptions and notions are not given to us directly by the bodily senses. Spirit extracts their ideas and presentations from the experience, like a geometer extracts the notions of point, of infinite straight line and so on.

An ability to create the ideal representations is a necessary one. They serve us as those points and lines that form the true image of reality, and outline contours of the future. The highest of them, the ideals, serve us as guiding stars.

"Poorly made draughts" are beautiful, if through them we find the desired truth!

Some see the self-affirmation as selfishness, which is an inadequately elevated, low way of self-affirmation; or see the elevation as an ability to calculate ahead, which is only an improved form of the same vain fuss without higher goals; or see in the Nobility just a handsome fiction of the failures and dodgers, designed to cheat on the rest of us. Wrong!

The Nobility is the highest form of human spirit, created by the whole history of mankind and of the human spirit itself.

The Nobility believes it deserves the highest, it believes in own power, and its ability to lead the world.

What is honesty, without aspiration for the truth?

I like elevating, but to sublimate? Not sure about that!

______________

To a deep thought one has to rise.

S. E. Lets

Computer programming is a mirror of mind.

Talent of programming is mainly the ability

To efficiently change level of abstraction.

Combining the macro and micro view of the problem

.

The truth of Nobility is also its elevation to the struggle for society of victorious nobility.

Social elevation of nobility stems from the power and harmony of internal elevation of spirit.

What is the elevation, by the way? Do people recognize how important is the role that it plays in absolutely everything?

The elevation is one of the most important, may be the most important universal feature of the nature and spirit, of eternal creation and destruction. Whatever we choose, be it a phenomenon of physics, a living organism, the thinking, goal oriented activity, society, culture, ideology, we see multi-level structure that is absolutely essential for the very existence of every real entity.

Elevation, transition from one level to another, including transitions from one system of levels and transitions to another, makes the ultimate creativity of reality and of thinking possible.

The basic level transitions like tactics-strategy, means-goal, quantity-quality, specific-general, individual-people, appearance-essence, and others - the beloved topics of philosophers - are elementary elevations of the notions. Psychologists are interested in the elevation/sublimation/ of desires; poets - in the elevation of feelings; warriors - in the elevation over fear, the strategy, the heroism; private citizens and political parties - in the elevation in social hierarchy; students and parents - in high school, high marks, and high math; priests and lawyers - in the elevation of soul and court appointments - and so on.

The achieving of initial goal depends usually on the additional goals being pursued or achieved, some of them of higher, some of a subordinate level relative to initial goal.

The Elevation is everywhere a key point of things essence and development.

In the spirit, elevation is in the created by itself element, in contrast to other natural things where elevation is the essence of phenomenon.

Having the elevation felt as a freedom, "I" gets released from the fetters of necessity, transcending the new birth to become a self-affirming, self-conscious spirit.

Huh, to be liberated from necessity? I love satisfying my needs!

______________

The Spirit is a live element of feelings, wishes, ideas, of their formation and development.

The elevation of spirit is a live natural phenomenon of self-value, not just another tool of selfishness.

An elevation is a key moment of spirit's nature.

Activity of the alive is directed and energized by drive to get satisfied the wishes, caused by suffering and pleasure.

But the nature of things is such, that straightforward way from sufferings to pleasure is often not possible. In some sense it is always the case in area of human spirit and activity.

The obstacles have to be overcome trough generation of elevated goals and desires, by combination of aspirations and acts of different levels.

Being the most complex and synthetic machinery of the mind, the elevation suffers first in case of mental disorders. The initial elevations of relations with parents, turns into insoluble problems of spiritual development, known as Freud "complexes".

Freud erroneously uses this acute inadequacy, disharmony of elevation/sublimation/, as universal model of the human spirit.

In fact, in case of healthy psychic these initial necessary elevations do not create a problem. Freud and many psychiatrists thereafter, vulgarize human by taking for model of his soul the deeply damaged psychic of mentally deranged. The ideals get a label of "overvalued ideas", the love gets a label of madness, and so on. Thus the whole world they see in a light of madhouse.

In the area of reason, of rational thinking, the elevation and descending also are the basic forms of motion.

Induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, the transition of the quantity into quality and vice versa, denial of denial, the struggle and unity of contraries, all are the notions/categories/ that reflect some of the forms of elevation and descend, which are important in the world that we live in.

______________

Of what you know, think: I know it.

Of what you don't know, think: I don't know it.

This is the knowing.

Confucius

Understanding of Nature is one of the goals of Nobility, and its reliable base.

The World is a gigantic material entity, and everything that exists is a more or less complex material process, recognizable on the certain level of analytic depth.

All material processes, no matter which phenomenon we look at, are ruled by the same exact physical laws, and are in itself a self-definition of matter, differing only by the quantitative parameters, which include scale, place and time.

The self-definition of the World as a whole is a single universal material process, which includes all local material processes and interactions.

The Life springs up and develops as an elevation of the self-definition of matter to the self-control of it.

______________

For a profane, the honest man is foe.

Nobility is infinite elevation, not a mechanical assembly of its parts.

Nobility is perfection of the spirit that has achieved freedom, in its self-affirmative self-determination. Nobility is not achievable without passionate aspiration for the truth and love, for the self-affirmation, without great internal work of soul.

Those aspirations and work are the roots, branches and leaves of the tree that is the blossoming Nobility.

When society is headed to the catastrophe, the noble and honest is being oppressed and robbed, while scoundrels and all sorts of low villains flourish and seize precedence everywhere. Tyranny of selfishness and beneficial meanness is damaging the sprouts of nobility, so they grow underdeveloped, weak and barren.

At the same time the nobility, elevation, are seeds of force that is able to lead the rebirth of society, and is compelled to do so.

To see essence of own aspirations as Nobility - is an important step. It enables to consciously perceive created by mankind spiritual riches, as well as opens the opportunity for existence of and participation in social movement of Nobility.

Nobility is the true way of spirit to internal freedom, the true way of a person to the external freedom - it is the true way of mankind.

It is the toughest to dare to be free, to liberate own soul.

______________

Confucius of ancient China was probably the first, who thought of Nobility as the ethical and political truth of humanity. Ideology of the Chinese society for tens of centuries was formed by his views, along with Legalism, a mainly political theory of power, governing, state and law.

A Noble person, according to Kun Fu, is sincere, courageous, knowing, human-loving. Noble senses the inevitably inherent to the human soul good elements, as well as is aware of the inevitable weaknesses of human nature.

The Noble despises those unworthy low souls, which consider denunciation the honesty, impudence the courage, superficial the knowledge, meanness the wisdom.

Noble can embrace the great, although he may not know small things.

The Noble may go away, but not fall, he may be deceived, but not entrapped.

The love is better then knowledge, the joy is better than love.

Without the humanness it is impossible neither experience the true joy nor to staunchly oppose the hardships.

If the upper class appreciates etiquette, justice, and confidence, then nobody shall dare to be disrespectful, to do not obey, to do not work honestly - so the state will be strong, rich, and happy.

______________

Freedom, if taken immediately, an external freedom, is absence of restrictions, fetters, of chains. All alive can feel it one or another way.

The freedom, the feeling of freedom is a distinct and special thing, which cannot be reduced to other features of the spirit and world.

Nothing can be a true substitute for the feeling and joy of freedom. They are of self-value for the spirit, and for everything alive.

Freedom, in a sense, is a quantum supplementary variable for the effectiveness of self-affirmation, a general estimate for it.

A combination of the drive to satisfy wishes and of the aspiration for freedom, is key point of the truth and of the effectiveness of self-affirmation.

The Alive has to generate wishes that are relatively congenial to its natural needs and circumstances, and has to be able to satisfy those wishes to the extent that is sufficient for survival and prosperity on one hand,

but does not lead to self-destruction on other hand.

External freedom expands opportunities for the goal setting and for goal-adequacy, but Freedom in its entirety is being achieved only if and when those opportunities are being seized and made a reality. Then Freedom becomes a way of achieving, an opportunity, an ability to choose the effective road to the desired goals, and an ability to choose the goals that are effective.

External freedom has its natural limits, which is one of the reasons that

Freedom is never an absolute freedom. Anther reason for this, the equally important one, is imperfectness of our wishes and the ways we choose to pursue them.

The Freedom is never an absolute freedom, and in the first place where and when our wishes are only primitive aspirations. Without elevation of the desires - the natural contradiction between the immediate aspirations, and the more remote consequences of satisfying them, cannot be reconciled or overcome.

Starting with the human, spirit is able of the powerful infinite elevation, which allows for creation of higher goals, of the ideals, of the entire infinite world of soul.

Mechanics of infinite elevation is suggestive in nature.

Harmony of elevation of the natural wishes that saves their live base and their natural meaning, and at the same time ennobles them, enriches them thru cognition and thru elevated aspirations, is the Way which yields extension of Freedom, and self-affirmation effectiveness.

The Faithfulness to the higher goals, ideals, principles, is in the harmony of elevation also the faithfulness to own basic nature, and at the same time it overcomes the straightforward primitiveness of immediate basics. This Faithfulness is also faithfulness to the true self-affirmation, and at the same time it overcomes the tyranny of self-preservation.

______________

Your victory, or your defeat -:

Yourself you should not differ it.

Feelings, impressions, joy, almost every emotion have common component of amplifying self-interaction. Which is the base for freedom of the elements of spirit, for their self-sustained identity. It also is a part of the suggestion mechanism, and is even more involved in the activity of spirit as self-suggestion.

An elevation works thru harmony of the self-suggestion and of the initial state, process, image, which has triggered it.

In its turn, the harmony of elevation makes the harmony of spirit.

Without the harmony of elevation, without its higher forms, the aspiration for freedom and happiness becomes simply an arbitrary chase for pleasure, and a loss of both freedom and happiness.

For the Happiness is in itself a harmony of the highest aspirations and of immediate reality, as Freedom is a harmony of will, elevation and self-affirmation efficiency.

True harmony of elevation is the Way of Freedom.

Really, all that is needed immediately is harmony of the process of elevation-descend.

It is the crucial start point.

The next milestone is faithfulness to self, to own natural base.

The third is local harmony, harmony of interrelations of wishes and goals in the specific elevation.

The forth is energy and scale of elevation.

The fifth is an infinite elevation of the highest goals and ideals.

The sixth is the highest goals and ideals being adequate.

The seventh is faithfulness to the highest goals and ideals.

Those Seven go together - interacting, enriching and redefining each other.

The Way of Freedom is way of Nobility and Virtue: of faithfulness to self to the highest goals and ideals, of infinite elevation of the highest goals and ideals, of power, harmony, and adequacy of elevation.

This is what famous Krishna's word Bhagavad Gita at the eve of battle of the Pandavas and Kauravas was about.

Faithfulness to the infinitely elevated true goal turns particular failure and even death into victory, making of it a step to the triumph of such elevated goal, and of the elevation.

______________

Freedom is the solar plexus of individual and

Social spirit, of the politics, revolution, war.

Distribution of the freedom and enslavement, of the rights and duties, is the key purpose and key instrument of social organization.

The socially oriented activity is in its turn a necessary level of personal self-determination and self-affirmation.

The social and political tools of freedom and suppression, as developed by the history, include morality, legal rights, property rights, electoral opportunities, economical freedoms, freedom of speech, of consciousness, of association, of meetings, and so on, the ethics, law, state, police, military and so on.

Citizens can make a giant leap in the opportunities of self-affirmation and freedom, thru right combination of these tools. But their disharmony can cause heavy harm to the promise. In fact, the harmony of elevation is as much crucial for the society, for its effectiveness and self-affirmation, as it is for the individual.

Being an object and outcome of struggle and collaboration, the harmony in the sphere of freedom can not arise or be safe without conscious aspiration and struggle for its affirmation, improvement and updating, which is being inspired by the morality and virtue, and which is an important part of the morality and virtue.

Here is the word by Mill about it.

Should the society do not allow for the freedom of thought, should it demand from the individuals to be constrained by frames that are inherited from ancestors or set by spiritual leaders, should it do not allow individuals to search for application of their powers and of their mind in all spheres including the highest ones, then the individuals would become automatic mechanisms that sow, gather crops, carry other functions by routine, without use of the wit and imagination of theirs own.

They would turn into mill horses, which circle the same path from the morning till determined hour, than eat their barley and straw, drink their water, and then they calm down. The next morning they shall start the same circle, again and again, till the last their day.

These deprived, doomed horses would never knew of existence of the myriads earthly blessings, of meadows, beautiful pastures, murmuring springs, of mountains and valleys of the land.

Here is yet another, by Russo.

Freedom is like virginity or virtue: the value of it one feels only while he has it, and the taste for it one looses ones he lost it.

A savage cannot bow his head under the yoke that is readily worn by civilized people. He prefers freedom, full of dangers, to the tranquility of slavery.

The wild skipper fiercely fights back at somebody with a bit, while broken horse quietly accepts even whip and spurs.

The Nations that have lost their freedom, tirelessly extol the peace and calm that they enjoy in their chains; they call miserable slavery "peace".

We should not ever make our judgment about natural predisposition of human beings for or against slavery by the depth of fall of enslaved nations, but rather by the miracles, accomplished by free nations in order to safeguard themselves from oppression.

When I see how free people sacrifice their pleasures, calm, wealth, power, even the life itself, only to preserve this property treated so contemptuously by those who have lost it, I know:

"It does not befit slaves to speak about freedom."

Here is yet another, by Machiavelli.

Occasionally, a deprived of nobility people finds himself liberated. Yet without knowing how to find food and shelter on its own, this grown in the prison and slavery animal soon becomes easy victim of the first scoundrel that decides to lure and capture him.

______________

The birds of wisdom arrive at dusk

Distortion of the very concept of freedom for political convenience has a very old tradition. As in the ancient Rome, where philosophical disputes about freedom had flared up only after the real political freedoms had been lost. In times like that it is a lot easier to argue that there is no free will, that future is predefined, fate omnipotent, and freedom itself is a mirage.

A Marxist concept of freedom as a recognized inevitability is an example of such upside-down logic, similar to the yellow leaves "theory": the autumn leaves change color in attempt to soften cruelty of the frost and wind, by showing that they are already to dying.

The future is determined by the present, it is correct. Which means by our present aspirations and desires too - to the extremely large degree in respect to ourselves.

Resent centuries have shown us a rise and break of the science-maniac ambitious claim on the knowledge of historical inevitability, the one that exists presumably outside of, and controls activity of the person and of the mankind.

No wonder oppressor and slave readily talk about "inevitability", to justify own selfishness and misery. Being a captive of external inevitability is not freedom, whether it is "recognized inevitability" or not recognized. Even favorable sometimes, it inevitably turns into a misfortune.

A noble will for the freedom is necessary for a person and the mankind.

We are getting the desired either by giving for it some part of our freedom, or by force, often taking away freedom of others, of the world. If our desired were not a freedom too, we would reduce the total amount of freedom.

As nowadays mankind's cumulative influence upon the nature and an individual is so powerful, often fatal, the efforts to establish and develop freedom on all levels are most vital.

______________

A far-reaching analogy exists between the individual spirit and the social spirit. It is not an accident, and rather reflects their common nature.

For almost every essential idea regarding individual spirit, the corresponding idea about society makes a lot of sense, and vice versa.

Initial role of the Will is to control physical activity. Another its function, which has become far more important, is to control and facilitate spiritual and intellectual activity.

Components of the spirit are based on imagination, and are self and inter-defined thru suggestion and self-suggestion that is based on Will.

Intellectual components of spirit employ low intensity will with higher emphasis on the harmony of elevation, while an activity control uses the whole scale of will power.

The amplifying circuits of self-suggestion play a key role on every level and in every component of the existence and conscience, in the desires, aspirations, in the higher senses and experiences, in notions, judgments, on the physiological, imagination, action, intellectual, spiritual levels. They provide for self-affirmation in the miracle world of life and spirit.

Will provides for sovereignty of the higher level aspirations over lower ones, like the Power structures in society, that impose the will of those of higher social standing. Sure enough, as the personal spiritual elevation and the personal social standing can be in odds to some extent, so some desires can be more imperative or less imperative than it would be required according to their elevation or for the general efficiency.

The Will, suggestion and self-suggestion, forms its own hierarchy, which interacts with hierarchy of aspirations and goals as they form together a rigid but mobile frame of individual spirit, and of the society.

In this interaction, almost senseless due to the power of self-suggestion,

Will gets a base for its movement in feelings and emotions while providing them with strength, influence and stability. But, if Will would achieve an absolute freedom from the sensitive base of soul, it would turn over into absolute arbitrariness that is deaf to the reality and reason, destructive to the surrounding, to itself and to the freedom.

The personality itself, "I", exists due to the energy of self-suggestion, which provides for the memory and for the relative stability of attitude to the past and present, of the aspirations directed into the future.

Will, in order to serve the freedom and effectiveness of alive, is restricted in its freedom, like the Power in well-governed state, and is directed by feelings in its formation.

An ideal of Nobility is high harmony of elevation of the will, the emotions, and reason.

______________

Personality consists of a Center and of the surrounding it layers that are blending into the world around.

The Center is a tight emotion-will complex, which makes a permanent core of personality. It develops in the early childhood, and combines the highest possible sensitivity and depth of suggestion.

Together with the surrounding it stable, very slow changeable sphere that carries self-identity, it makes a Kernel of personality.

Size and composition of the Kernel are responsible for character.

The Human destiny is defining it and is being defined by it. The borders of

Kernel have certain level of mobility, drifting closer to the center or becoming more inclusive, under social or personal suggestive influence, under influence of the education, external circumstances, and of the internal energy of spirit.

For example, Buddhism tends to exclude from the Kernel as much of a person as possible, ideally producing almost equal to nothing personality. It relies heavily on the curbing of natural aspirations to uplift them.

Christianity uplifts natural aspirations thru enriching of Kernel with the faith in Christ's ideas, with love to the human, with the ideal of Heavenly Kingdom.

As a part of formation of personality, the features like honesty, courage, kindness, cruelty, etc., are being included to some degree into the

Kernel.

The ennobled by elevated ideals kernel of human soul is more powerful stimulus, than the temptations, danger, sufferings.

______________

To die, to sleep; to sleep: perchance to dream...

Shakespeare

The soul may be born only while the body is alive, and it may die only while the body is alive. The real "dead souls" by Gogol, are the live characters.

The life is beautiful and precious as an opportunity to desire and to reach for the desired goals.

Sure, "we are but older children, dear, who fret to find our bedtime near", but would not it be comical, to do not go asleep tonight because of fear of the unpleasant dreams?

Before the brain dies, it loses consciousness and descends into a dream, which then turns into eternal sleep without dreams.

Something infinitely valuable stays in the noble soul as a kernel in all the trials, and it is much worse for a human to loose this "something" than to die. The will for life is not the same thing as an aspiration to avoid death. Christ's words are not a paradox but the exact truth: "Who will give up his life for me shall save it. But who will save his life shall loose it."

Everybody, every live thing is mortal, which in the long run secures development and self-affirmation of the Life thru a natural selection.

The best pieces of genetic code, are being copied aver and over again, so their information transcends the individual mortality, like do the most fruitful and truthful ideas that are passed from generation to generation.

Soul participates in the eternal thru ideals and uplifted goals, thru love and faithfulness, thru the elevation of spirit that makes it a part of the eternal spirit of humanity.

If convinced that soul is immortal and is able to endure every evil and every good, we shall always follow the higher road, and shall with all possible means adhere to the justice and reason - in order to be friends with gods and ourselves.

Francesco Petrarch

______________

Fully realize the opportunities that

you are gifted by Nature with.

The true credo of Nobility springs from the faith in self, in your right to fight the fate and if needed the whole world for your self-affirmation.

It springs from the feeling of your immutable right for the highest, from the dream of might and of true freedom, from strive for the ability to make a difference, which your love and hate calls for.

You are but one of the sides of controversy, that gives birth to the future; the other side is practice and natural selection.

Faithfulness to yourself, to your great ideals is the guiding star. Why would anybody betray himself? Someone else's fate is not less rich with problems than your own fate is. The Pigeons and Crows scorn "painted crow".

You are worthy of the highest!

Until you are fighting indeed, the outcome is not defined yet. Nobody can excel better than you in what you are creating of yourself in your freedom.

______________

The link center-periphery is being enriched by multi-step elevation.

Every bodily movement, from inside, is a will on the periphery of "I". Like it is with physical power, the willpower is defined initially by intensity, dynamics, and limits of the will. The willpower to a large degree determines the effectiveness of self-affirmation on all levels of elevation.

The Thinking, as image and conceptual processing of information, is being built of the memory, will, sensation and imagination. All the operational elements f spirit, are being built of all other elements of it. The Thinking participates in its turn, together with will and emotions, in the elevations and structures of the temple of spirit.

The initial memory, will, emotions, are being used in thinking as a material to build and manipulate Models and attached Symbols, which represent things, concepts, phenomena, features of the world. The emotions are used in the thinking itself, in extremely weakened form, as the signals in information processing.

The Thinking had opened way for a word language, which allows for combination and manipulation of the models thru combination of their word symbols, and consequently for an infinite leap in the means of communication between individuals.

Thinking made the difference that had defined human and human society, as special and the most powerful creation known in the Nature, as distinguished member, almost a miracle of the animal world.

______________

Human spirit is inconceivable without higher senses. Senses of Love, Beauty, Truth, Faithfulness, Justice, Freedom, of Friendship, Humor, Shame, Virtue, Responsibility and so on. They are the main substance of soul. Their elevation, energy, harmony are of key importance in the person and in the person's effectiveness in the world.

All sensations are perceived and stored by the conscience in form of images.

The higher senses are constructed by the spirit thru suggestive elevation of, and from the initial sensations, experience, and considerations. The mechanics is to attach an emotional reaction to the images in substantially informative way.

As a result, the higher senses allow greatly multiply the power and effectiveness of live spirit of human being.

______________

Spirit and body of the human being, form alive elevation of bodily cells, parts, processes, functions, of rises and falls, of feelings, reflections, ideals...

The way of Nobility runs thru separation of "I" and "Others", of individual and social spirit, to the higher new unity.

Individualism is an important step and a perilous one too.

Important because without it impossible to become a person, to take a stand against internal and external disharmony, against the evil.

Perilous because as Spirit takes itself for the highest, for the final criteria, it may do not have the harmony and energy of elevation to rise above this intermediate state, and may become an egotist, villain, scoundrel.

To stand up to the World, the fate, the man, in order to obtain unity on the higher level with the best of them - is the truth of noble elevation.

The way of Nobility goes thru separation of the body and soul too, to the higher new unity. Within the spiritual history of mankind – the Christianity has accomplished this necessary and infinite elevation step,

It is infinite and vital step in the formation of individual spirit, which is still being performed thru communion with the Christ's teaching. Inspired and born by the sometimes disastrous Jewish history, Christ's teaching impresses with shining spiritual freedom and courage, which greatly enrich the spirit of mankind ever since.

______________

The separation and unity of 'Church' and 'State' - is in the image of spirit-body relations. For two thousand years Christianity could keep giving God's to God, Caesar's to Caesar.

Now “Caesar” strives to take over everything, destroying itself and the spirit in its blind greed. Now, as hard it may be to do, “Caesar's” should not be taken from 'God'. Now it is impossible to separate the spiritual, the most distant prognosis and the highest ideals - from the practical, from the deeds and the struggle. Now their interaction is most strong, being decisively important in the destiny of the World and of man.

The Heavenly Kingdom must become a command force in the elevation of Earthly Kingdom, in rescuing of it from downfall and destruction by the utter meanness. The Nobility, thru its participation in both Heavenly and Earthly Kingdom, should unite them in the common harmony of elevation.

With Noble harmony of internal and external elevation comes equal and expanded freedom of different levels of society. Nobility brings upon equal opportunities of contributing to the common happiness and of achieving the personal happiness, regardless your station..

Justice, and the feeling of just - unjust, necessary for the development and sustained existence of the harmony of elevation in society.

Nobility's concept of justice, for Nobility to flourish and for disharmony of selfishness to be in disadvantage, enriches the naturally inherent to the Nobility sense of justice and aspiration for justice.

A decision is just, if it serves the global elevation harmony.

A just decision, which reflects common elevated interest, is possible in case when some interests oppose each other immediately, but are not in the absolute antagonism. In case of absolute antagonism, the just decision discards interest of one of the concurrent sides.

Justice is supported on the moral rule level - and thru law, judicial system.

Moral rule and law provide typical solutions in the name of elevated common interest, for the typical conflicts.

The efficiency of the moral rule and of the law depends on how adequate they are in respect to the problem before them and to the general elevation, depends on the feeling of justice, the energy and will to enforce it.

______________

It is a moral duty to contribute to the justice,

elevating the struggle for personal interests.

Elevation overcomes the primitive approach to justice, like New Testament overcomes Old Testament's approach. "Eye for eye", other immediate natural principles of Justice surrender their supreme, absolute role, though are still remaining in power on the level where they are effective.

Infinitely elevated principles take over, like "Many of the last to come will be the first", "Bless those cursing you", "Child is the highest at the Heavenly Kingdom", and so on.

The equality and inequality can be the means of justice. As revolutionary changes in the society bring upon new global elevation, new equalities and new inequalities come along.

In the ancient times, a formula of the ideal social justice was:

"The strong does not offend the weak, the weak does not harm the strong."

The Nobility and kindness of society is not in the dragging worthless into the future, but in the helping and rescuing fruitful and prospective at the hard time of its temporary weakness.

It is just, if the future is better than past, if the worse is ruined in the noble rivalry, to give place to the better.

Parasitism of the worthless and harmful upon the justice should not be allowed to overgrow, as well as should not be allowed to overgrow the parasitism of powers upon it, the usurping of dedicated to justice means by selfish interests.

Justice does not oppose Nature as something external, being a party to the natural elevation of spirit. Imposing of justice requires the least possible constraint, as sides and judge can cooperate the most. Justice brings down total losses of the participants, and brings down expenses on the enforcement of law.

If the laws are just and are used in a just way and the court represents the elevated point of view on conflict, then it serves as an efficient instrument of justice. If the laws are unjust and twisted to the selfish advantage of specific sides or powers, the judicial system becomes rather a tool of injustice, ruinous for the freedom of a person and of the society. As one injustice brings up another many, the apparatus for enforcement of the pseudo-justice, of disharmony of elevation, creates more problems than solves and keeps growing wild, dooming the society to destruction.

If the general harmony of elevation in society is perfect enough, then recognition and enforcement of justice is simple and efficient. The sense of justice, the personal courage in its affirmation, the consciousness, the laws and courts, the suggestive influence of public opinion, are then the successful instruments of social and personal freedom.

______________

Though being extremely important, the tool of justice has inherent limits of its applicability and its role in the society and spirit. This is rooted in the fact that justice is secondary to the harmony of elevation, to the freedom and efficiency.

This means for the spirit, that consciousness can’t be absolutely stiff, in particular with respect to sense of justice. Which means that social tools of justice are necessary to correct inherent imperfection of the purely moral instruments of it.

It is impossible to know or feel precisely and always, what is good or just.

To demand of individual an absolutely straightforward aspiration for good, to subdue him totally to the straightforward sense of justice, is both impossible and wrong. This would take away his internal freedom in the long run, and it would require taking away much of his external freedom, to force such attitude over him. In the final result, his external freedom and freedom of society would be severely impaired because of impaired ability of self-definition of the spirit.

On other hand, to rely entirely on the social means of justice would be also impossible and wrong. First of all they can’t be implemented and work without basic moral justice underpinnings. If moral base of justice is weak, the social justice system soon becomes too big, expensive and corrupted.

One should strive for optimal role partition between the consciousness, the moral means of justice, and justice oriented instruments of the power.

In the general elevated movement even the disharmony of personal elevation, caused by the inherent to human being limits of psychical and physical abilities, does not prevent existence of high general harmony, and even serves it in its own way.

The reversed is also true, as it has been perfectly said by Ecclesiast.

If not sanctified by "God", if not a part of the harmony of global elevation of the "Heavenly Kingdom", everything is vain and doomed - even the love, the goodness, the happiness, the truth, the justice, the success.

The historical elevation brings upon a formation of the society, the live elevation of people life, of the nation, the state, of the political consciousness and political activity, of the civic and martial valor.

The God's and the Caesar's both are necessary for the human and for each other, be it at the times of their separations or of their synthesis.

______________

Nobility is impossible without effective higher senses of the good - bad, good-evil, of beautiful - ugly, comical - tragic, just - unjust, true - false and so on.

Higher senses facilitate a fast elevation of the perception, which infinitely expands harmony, scale and effectiveness of the spirit.

Formation of higher individual senses is influenced substantially by the surrounding society and culture, by such elements as the science, art, religion, politics, power, them by themselves being the social spirit's rational cognition, imagination, moral, elevation, will.

Any isolated element of spirit has limited abilities on its own, though at times people become too fascinated or dependent on some of them, or some of them are extolled as a panacea in the name of benefiting group or class interests. For example science and rational cognition, in a self-promotion heat, often comes up with global ambitions though being for the spirit and its elevation just one of the tools.

The science brings to the material and spiritual life of the society an irreplaceable and crucial contribution. It is an important party to the development of Nobility also.

The collective character of the scientific cognition, its orientation towards the generalized results is at the same time both strength and weakness of the science.

Success of social abstract thinking, of science, heavily depends on the social spiritual atmosphere and on scientist's moral qualities.

An applicability area of science is the wider the higher is researcher's nobility of aspirations, his honesty of mind, and honesty of information. On other hand, the science's advance depends on the ability of society to elevate itself over the dictate of immediate practical need, as well as on the ability to efficiently use the fruits of research, depends on the creative spirit of scientists and on the potential of science on a particular stage of its development.

______________

Higher senses, of the beauty, truth, love, humor, justice, nobility and so on, more exactly and quickly than the most detailed calculations, make it possible to appreciate and to love the worthwhile, to choose the right way.

Their machinery includes more or less complex recognition of the image, and triggering of corresponding emotional experience, based on the immediate perception.

They provide for an appropriate immediate elevation, which facilitates efficiency and harmony of the overall elevation of the spirit of the alive, of the its self-affirmation and activity. Higher senses increase the advantage of the joy over suffering, being a crucial part of the freedom and happiness of the live, a soul of the live spirit.

Person's higher senses can be compromised in their development and action by psychiatric illness, resulting in handicap in the harmony of soul's internal elevation and of person's activity. The sense of humor is extremely vulnerable and indicative in this respect.

Social movements and theories harmony and disharmony often are projections of those of their leaders or creators.

For example, Leo Tolstoy had no sense of humor. With all his grandeur he was unable to understand Shakespeare, the champion of elevation.

Meanwhile, his sense of justice and aspiration for the good made Tolstoy a great voice for those causes. Vladimir Lenin too "did not master humor", which was reflected in the nature and fate of the state he created in 1917.

The height and power of elevation in these outstanding cases were extremely fruitful, but the fluency and harmony suffered, resulting in the one-sided grandeur of activity and of the fruits of it.

______________

You shall not ever find the freedom so desired,

Unless on very edge of Life and Thought and Art.

Michelangelo

Art is the social imagination component of the social spirit, of its elevation, of the figurative thinking. It is a product and powerful catalyst of the elevation and development of individual spirit.

It is a perception of the World, enriched by the talent of artist, the historical buildup, the abstraction, the power of technique, with air like access to it and with mass influence. It is a great play, a great school and a great voice.

In every sort of the Art, weather the most realistic or the most abstract, the most sensual or the most rational, exists an absolutely fantastic and at the same time absolutely real character: the spectator, reader, listener.

He is a participant of the two worlds, of the real and of the imaginary one.

An experience of the soul and reason he gets in the imaginary world, serves him well in the real world.

The elevation, in all its appearances, is the main in soul. In the art too the main is depiction of elevation and fall, of high and low, of the harmony and disharmony, thru the beautiful and ugly, the heroic and worthless, the true and false, the good and evil, the love and hatred, the life and death, through its fantastic, lyric, comic, dramatic, tragic forms.

Art begins from the fantastic, the fairy-tale, from the heroic and beautiful.

The hero shows the great power of spirit in the battle against evil, producing an example and encouragement that gains special moral and historical importance. He neglects hardships, danger, death, in the name of noble higher goals and ideals.

______________

In the Life and Art alike, the worst, the most dangerous evil is not an immediate disharmony of elevation, but its pseudo-harmony that opposes the true harmony.

In the comic, we are celebrating with joy and laugh the fall and self-destruction of the evil, the disharmony of elevation, and joint elevation of the true and good.

In the heroic, the hero celebrates stellar victory over the evil, directly elevating over it

In the tragic, the fall of evil comes in our mind, through our elevation, in spite of it prevailing in the action presented.

Thru justification of the hero's death and reconciliation with it, one discovers the truth of opposing the fate's evil by all possible means.

The tragic reflects the most important, complex, fatal contradictions of the World, which make the hero's death inevitable - as he rejects self-betrayal. Such contradictions are often connected to the major historical changes, when the old morality, old society, old world disappear, and the new world, new elevation take their place. In the tragic, the hero reaches for higher self-affirmation, even though being doomed immediately. Even if on the nearest level the hero is wrong and guilty of his death, still on the more elevated, may be on the infinitely more elevated level his struggle and death is a step in the affirmation of noble ideal.

______________

Harmony and struggle of the sensual and spiritual dimensions of the Art, of its Dionysus and Apollo, is a perfect metaphor of the individual spirit's elevation, of irrational and rational.

The importance of the Art, of its kinds and genres, of Art's internal development, of the struggle that takes place in it, can not be separated in the long run from the conditions, content and needs of social development.

Relations between the Art and other components of the social and individual spirit change from society to society and in a course of history.

An ability of the Art to rise above immediate practical interest to the higher view on things while representing those ideas as an immediate image, and/or to look at and to explore the alternatives to the routine elevations, thru magnification, focusing at, accumulation, growth - is a precious thing for the Nobility.

The Nobility is the true winner in the Art. The Art talks to the soul, and is judged by the soul. In this natural selection the sense of beauty, the time, the openness, together unmistakably select the true and best, and reject the dishonest, the insincere, the low-spirited, the talent-less.

Rise and decay of society, is defined by its spirit, reflected in and acting thru its Art.

The best in Art enriches us with an idea and image of the higher harmony of elevation, at the same time being its prototype and real precursor.

As the higher senses of heroic, tragic, comic, are vital in the Noble spirit, the Art being vital component of the Nobility of social spirit, of the Noble society. Which in many ways is a work of an Art too.

_____________

Virtue stands on elevation.

Bolingbroke

The Morality is a deeply personal instrument of the elevation of personal spirit, an adequate elevation of the individual's socially meaningful behavior thru mutual and self-evaluation. .

The Morality provides for the basic immediate elevation that naturally coordinates the personal and social interests, the immediate and long-term aspirations.

It is intended to provide an internal basis and framework for the whole social elevation, thru an internalization of elevation from the personal to mutual interest.

The Moral sphere is a culture, a self-developing element of the life and consciousness of human society, enforced as by the common opinion and socially based mechanisms, so by the efforts by individuals to support moral norms and ideals in ourselves and in others and oppose immorality in ourselves and others, to which we are obligated by the moral duty itself.

Morality works in cooperation-competition with such elevation tools as love, discipline, law and political process.

The Morality is the most immediate moral feeling and also the most advanced elevation, as it reaches to define the highest goals of existence and activity as well as the final judgment on us in the Good and Bad.

To an extent possible and prudent, morality is trying to codify and codifies good – evil, trying to come up with definite moral law.

However the motivation and defining authority of those are essentially in elevation.

Good - Bad is an infinite elevation of the immediate pleasure-pain of the alive. It is not immediately perceived thru single higher sense, but rather yields final spirit's judgment based on the whole evidence of all higher senses.

Morality starts from the most early childhood sense of good and bad behavior, starts when child even does not speak yet. Its roots being in the very center of the soul, it then develops into elaborated area of elevated senses of the evaluation and self-evaluation of behavior, thru induction from outside and growth from inside. Morality connects the highest and the most immediate of the elevation of the spirit, immediate and long-term aspirations, simple feelings and deep analysis, in the name of making the common interest also an internal interest to the most possible extent, as making the internal interest of individual also a common interest, thru the most intense, elaborated, elevated thinking and mutual influence involved, and summarized in the deep and simple feelings.

In the social spirit, morality is a tool of the elevation of personal behavior, a keystone of the whole social elevation. Moral facilitates and enforces coordination of personal and social interests, of the near-term and long-term aspirations.

It is necessary to embrace the immensity of reality. No calculation, no reasoning, nothing is able to provide for integrity and efficiency of the spirit, of the action, of its social meaning, without a prepared elevation of morality.

The morality provides the individuals with an opportunity of spiritual depth and of deep mutual understanding, along with generational spiritual link that also allows perfect and gradually update moral ideals.

Moral is a culture, a naturally developing element of social spirit. Its identity is being self-supported thru common opinion, education and, the most important, thru direction, results and example of the moral behavior. Moral requires and depends on the personal efforts aimed at the affirmation of its ideals and norms inside and outside, as the moral duty calls us for.

The special role of the moral elevation, moral feelings, is that they serve as catalyst to the elevation of all feelings and spiritual activity. The intensity of moral feelings have to match the intensity of natural aspirations, experiences, feelings, for the elevation of which moral feelings provide.

In fact, human beings have become so powerful, that we are constantly one step from disaster, and this step is morality.

The consciousness, a central moral feeling, manifests itself in a way that we suffer or feel joy depending on our self-judgment thru our moral gauge. We set certain moral expectations for ourselves, and failure to meet those results in the self-dissatisfaction, while success results in self-gratification.

______________

The Morality is its own reward.

Freedom of will, the natural belief that we have freedom to choose between good and evil, has basic importance for the morality.

Freedom of will is in a perfect accord with the truth, materialism, and science. The spiritual - our thoughts, feelings, aspirations, is in its basis a material phenomenon, and it participates as such in the natural process of the development of the world, in the determination of its future.

In the realm of conscience, spirit the element of self-determination, of defining influence on own future, infinitely increases and reaches a high level of freedom.

Whatever the circumstances may be, on the internal depends choice between good and evil, choice to be faithful to the higher goals or to betray them, to be honest or dishonest, happy or unhappy.

Christ says in his on-hill preach that in the Heavenly Kingdom, in the general harmony of elevation, every participant is blessed. But those who are left in the external darkness are doomed.

As a practical instrument and a part of the general elevation, the nation's morality develops as in a close interaction with it, reflecting and influencing the national psychics, history, conditions.

A true moral freedom is in the adequate formation and development of the moral in the force field of the highest and in accordance with highest,

in the alive national self building experience.

There happen some unfortunate but nevertheless moving the process distortions, like the always accompanied with a hypocrisy moral dogmatism, or a panic of Nietzsche’s moral nihilism, or the pure practicality bound moral instrumentalism of Marx.

The morality naturally turns out to be one of the most important fields of the political struggle. Oppressor strives to manipulate morality to his selfish advantage, and turn it into a tool of spiritual enslavement. This inevitably undermines morality and brings upon destruction and suffering to the whole society.

Nobility stands for the truth of morality, for its true place in soul and in the society. While appreciating in full and including in itself the moral approach, very much growing from it, the Nobility overcomes the initial social and personal limitations of the morality through truly infinite elevation of the spirit.

Nobility is the higher truth of morality. Along with the immediate moral good and love, it embraces and overcomes the immediate self-love, violence, hatred, evil, that arise from the live passion of self-affirmation, in the name of true harmony, of power and effectiveness of elevation.

______________

Essence of the Good and Evil is

harmony and disharmony of elevation.

Good - Evil becomes a way of evaluation of external forces in terms of the caused by them Good -Evil, of evaluation and recognition as Good or Evil of the events, people, things.

This is possible as a consistent and powerful viewpoint due to the fact that on all levels and in all respects the Good stands for harmony of elevation and the Evil stands for the disharmony of it in the face of the truth of general global elevation.

Good - Evil is necessary infinite elevation of the pleasure - suffering.

The Emperor and Philosopher Mark Anthony wrote:

" Who chases pleasure as a Good and avoids sufferings as an Evil inevitably falls into impiousness.

Fearful of suffering, he will be fearful of something that has to happen, which is impious. Aspired for a pleasure as Good, he will not refrain from injustice, and this is an obvious impiousness.

He will also lament on the natural order of things that does not consider personal merits while distributing pleasures and sufferings, so that bad boys get delights and good boys get sufferings; and this is impious too. "

Moreover, the sufferings are, on equal with pleasure, a necessary component of the machinery of live spirit.

It stimulates the live activity, thus becoming a way to the pleasure.

Pleasure would not be possible without initial stimulus of suffering.

The soul of the Life is in the victory of Joy over Suffering.

This victory is impossible without an elevation, elevation that is being initiated by the stimulus of suffering.

Evil is in the insufficiency and disharmony of development of the natural elements, which brings upon malaise of self-empowerment of the disharmony of elevation.

This self-empowerment is impossible though without at least a local harmony, so that evil cannot rise without some good in it, while the challenge of evil brings upon an elevation of the good. In its turn, elevation of the good gives tools into the hands of the elevation of evil, and produces new food for its growth. Evil of some level is often an integral part of the harmony of elevation on the higher level.

So Evil is being endlessly reborn in the World, as there is no elevation without disharmony and no harmony without elevation. Evil is being endlessly destroyed in the World, since its own disharmony and the Good fight with it.

Nobility knows, believes, sees to it that the great victories of the World are and will be coming true.

As the Joy is being victorious over suffering, so can be the Love over hatred, the Good over evil, the Truth over the lie and demagoguery, Harmony over disharmony, the Noble over the selfish, perfidious and dishonest.

It is not good enough to cry about tragic destiny of the Good in this World. It is a happy destiny, if we fight for it!

The Nobility, the Truth of elevation, the Good, have every opportunity and power to be victorious, as the Joy is.

My covenant does not apply to evil - doers.

The dialectics of elevation, of the immediate and uplifted, of the material and spiritual, has another incarnation in the history and substance of the Religion.

The purpose of the Religion is to unite people thru the harmony of the common spiritual elevation, thru common understanding of the World and of person's place in it, thru common ideals and view of the Good and Evil.

Religion is a necessary and powerful historical form of and an instrument of the social and personal elevation of the spirit.

On the earlier stages of history it has encompassed almost all spiritual components of civilization and the specialized art, science, religion have evolved later on from this common root.

The teaching of elevation, the clarity of the spirit, the historical experience of personal and social practice of the believers, of the Church, represent a priceless contribution to the consciousness of the mankind, to the spirit and cause of the Nobility.

The key method of the religion is a powerful suggestion, which acts thru and in a combination with imagination, rational and mystical elements: a metaphorical language of the expression, with assigning to the metaphors, images, and ideas a real, immediate existence.

This mystical inclusion of ideas into the real life is something that in the human's world is practically useful and on a certain stage inevitable, but eventually it runs into contradiction with the untamable quest for even higher harmony of elevation.

Religion is being challenged from outside by the vulgar atheism, which sees in the Religion simply a fraud, "opium."

Religion is being damaged from inside as its mystics turns into a tyranny of mysticism.

Nobility appreciates and employs the elevated goals of religion and its metaphoric emotional language, and rises thru those above the mysticism.

Religion is a great suggestion of the elevation, a cult of the highest in closes of divinity, a metaphor of the most important in the nature, in the society and in the human soul.

Devine reflects the most essential realities of the nature and life, of the world and spirit.

The Gods of ancient Greece with their personal freedom and human like relations can be thought as a projection onto the nature and spirit of the rich multi-center human social and political realities of the time, when it was perfectly consistent with perceived multi-form-ness and apparent independence of the natural elements.

The monotheistic God of subsequent religions is also a projection, this time of the absolute monarchy and of tendency toward understanding of uniformity of the nature and of its laws.

An aspiration for the harmony and truth of the elevation, toward the communion, the aspiration of which religion in its highest is about, propels in the direction that transforms mystical into spiritual.

The teaching of Christ which is the heart of Christianity, of the clearly one of the if not the most advanced world religion, contains all the necessary premises for the ultimate and full sublimation of the mystery into spiritual elevation.

Synopsis of the Christianity as elevation.

Jesus, the Jew, known also under the name of Christ from Nazareth, started to preach at the age of 30. He died 33 years old, executed in Jerusalem on the political grounds on demand of the religious authorities as a heretic and impostor.

By that time he had disciples and students to pass over the Heavenly Kingdom, a spiritual elevation thru his ideas, and the task of passing it over to the World.

His teaching and life had become a source of New Testament, a source of the world religion of Christianity.

In spite of the persecution of Christians by Rome, in the first century the Christian communities were formed in many places around the Roman Empire.

Three centuries later Christianity became the state religion of the Empire.

A millennium later, every state of Europe was Christian.

The spread and strengthening of the Christianity was organizationally thru the development and growth of the institution of Church. Importantly though, practically organizing Christianity, the Church unites and at the same time separates to some extent the person and the teaching, the Christian and Christ.

The view of Christianity as to the "giving the God's to God, the Caesar's to Caesar" has allowed for a mutually beneficial interaction of the Church and State and secured political influence of Christianity for two millenniums.

The destiny of the Christian religion is just one of the elements of the destiny and even history of the teaching of Jesus Christ, though one initially the most important.

The destiny of the Christianity will not be exhausted until the destiny of mankind itself will be exhausted.

The live power of elevation, richness with ideas, personal courage, foresight, nobility, depth, brilliant form of statement, faithfulness to the truth, those always will remain unsurpassed and contemporary, alike the Rome sculpture, Renaissance painting or plays of Shakespeare.

______________

The spiritual power of Christianity stems from the time and place it were born, the painful and violent conflicts of Roman Empire, the great Jewish culture of religious thinking, and the outstanding personality of Jesus Christ.

It was a time when old ideologies of Rome were fully incarnated in the life, state, politics, when their victories made Rome victorious, but their flaws were increasingly turning into a source of Empire's inevitably coming failure.

In Judea, the problems and contradictions inherent to the epoch of crisis of the Roman Empire were manifesting itself in the most acute form.

Judea was occupied by Roman Empire, and it bitterly suffered emotionally and economically this loss of freedom.

Rome imposed restriction on the Jewish religion and required worship to the Emperor, which for Jews were an unforgivable sin.

In exchange for assistance in collecting of the imperial taxes, Rome had supported exploitation of the people of Judea by native aristocracy, by the secular and religious powers. People were suffering the multifold oppression.

This was also a part of the Rome's policy to "divide and concur", since internal contradictions and international conflicts of the subdued nations allowed Rome to be on the top as an almighty power broker.

People of Judea were also divided along the religious lines, and the religion itself was divided too.

The Priests tried to reinforce as only valid the traditional forms of the Temple sacrifices and worship.

The Bible scholars and the teachers of the religious schools were successfully competing with the Temple for donations and religious authority.

At the time they represented so to speak the reformation of Judaism, forming something very much like political party so that they even called themselves Pharisee (Comrades). Later, when the Temple was destroyed and the Jews were decimated all over the world, this branch developed into Rabbinical Judaism.

The higher aristocracy Sadducees held atheist views, while skillfully using religion and its conflicts in the political card game.

Oppression and humiliation provoked popular uprisings against Rome, which were suppressed by Romans with the help of upper classes of Judea, as they depended on the Empire for protection against people.

And sure enough, the Roman swords were always ready in exchange to crash people's struggle against own exploiters and tyrants.

Was there any way out of this desperate cycle?

The Judaism of Old Testament could not provide for the answer here.

Not elevated enough to rise over the highly powerful and proud disharmony of the world, it has became a part of the disharmony.

The goal of Christ was rescue from this deadly downfall of spirit, from this self-compounded insufficiency in the face of overwhelming oppression.

This rescue he saw in the overcoming of former weaknesses and perversion of the elevation, in the Heavenly Kingdom of elevation of social spirit thru a powerful, beautiful and truthful harmony of elevation of the human spirit and human soul.

______________

It shan't be in vain, your death.

For cause is firm that stands

On blood that's streaming beneath.

So it happened again. The new height, perfection and richness, ultimate elevation of spirit has come from the unbearable sufferings that had confronted some of the people, that were challenged by few, and that were defeated by the spirit of one, to the higher good of everybody.

Thru liberation of the spirit, Christ has opened New Era of the human history. His ideal is as powerful, as infinitely above and ahead of us, as it was two thousand years ago.

How Christ did it?

It was necessary not only to overcome growing turn of faith to dogmatism, and selfishness of the priests and Pharisees, not only rise above the well established down to earth and practicality tradition, not only liberate the basic genuine passion, truth and love of the Jewish faith, but to open absolutely new horizons of Heavenly Kingdom of infinite elevation.

By skillful use of the elevation charged speech figures like metaphor, parable, paradox Jesus interrupts our usual sliding upon the surface of things, so making possible the highest and deepest ever.

Jesus was no doubt aware of what he is doing, and he was not deceiving his followers either. He never said that he was a son of the God any more than every human is, or that he is the God, or that he is a God's messenger. He called himself "the human son", always staying perfectly consistent with the figurative, metaphoric idea of God. Meanwhile he did not denounce statements of others who implied his divinity, responding with his famous "You said!"

It was necessary and natural to build on the spiritual energy of the great religion of Old Testament, and to create his teaching also as a religion, a form the Christianity has had to grow and live in for thousands years.

The Earthly Life of Jesus culminated and came to its end on Passover.

Jesus with his apostles appeared in Jerusalem on the eve of holidays, a time when people from all over the country gathered there to celebrate.

He had chosen this time to openly spell out his teaching, give it

a political life, to declare its claim for the leadership role.

In the environment of fierce suppression of heresies, of customary political executions, this step made his death almost inevitable. Jesus decided to give up his life in the name of a cause he firmly believed was the necessary and only true way of elevation of his people and of the world.

______________

Who shall break the least commandment and teach others,

Will be the least in Heavenly Kingdom.

But who shall create and teach others, will be the greatest.

Jesus started to preach, saying:

Repent, for the Heavenly Kingdom is near.

Blessed are you, the beggars of spirit, the gentle, the weeping, and the truth thirsty. Blessed are the graceful, the open hearted, the peace - makers, the persecuted for the truth.

Blessed are you, being defamed, driven away, in every way scorned because of me. Be joyous and happy, for your reward on Heavens is great.

So the prophets that lived before you were driven away and scorned.

You are the salt of Earth. If the salt would ever loose its power, what then could make it salty again?

You are the light of the World. If a candle is lit, one does not cover it with a bowl, but puts on a candlestick so it shines for everyone in house.

I send you out, the sheep among the wolves. Be wise like a serpent and simple like a dove. Beware, they will take you to the courts and will assault you at their gatherings.

Brother shall be betrayed by brother and send to his death, son shall be betrayed by his father, children will rise on their parents and kill them.

Because of me, everyone will hate you.

The one who shall endure everything will be saved.

Having drunk the old wine, no one will change to the young one, for says: the old wine is better.

Nobody cuts a piece from the new close to make a patch onto the old one.

The young wine is not poured into old wine skin, for the old skin breaks and one looses both the skin and the wine. Young wine has to be poured into new skin, so that both are preserved the skin and the wine.

______________

Love your neighbor, like you love yourself.

Take first the log out of your own eye, before looking for a chip in the your brother's eye.

You are sons of our Heavenly Father, for he sends his Sun to shine upon the kind and the evil, and sends his rain over the righteous and the sinful.

Who will not forgive his brother's sins - the Heavenly Father will not forgive him.

You shall know them by their fruits.

Go by the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the path is convenient that leads into death, and many are traveling over this one. For the gate is narrow and path is rocky that leads to life, and few choose it.

If tempted by your eye, take it out and throw away. It is better for you to live with one eye, than to be thrown with both your eyes into the Infernal Fire.

Treat others, as you want to for yourself to be treated. This is all what the Law and the Prophets are about.

Don't pour your pearls before the pigs, for they will turn over and tear you into pieces. Do not throw sacred to the dogs.

When the light comes, those who can see shall see. But the blind will remain in darkness.

______________

A tree that does not bear good fruit,

Is cut down and thrown into the fire.

When Pharisees and Sadducees came to be baptized in the waters of

Jordan, John the Baptist said sternly to them:

You brood of the Viper! Who has tipped you to flee the Future Wrath?

Bring forth the worthy fruit of repentance.

Don't you dare to say: "Our father is Abraham." Truthfully I tell you:

God can of these stones raise children for Abraham.

Jesus told the Pharisees and Priests: Did not you read in the Writ that a stone that builders rejected became the keystone? This is from God, and it is a miracle for men. Who shall fall on this stone will be broken, and on whom it shall fall will be crashed.

I tell you truthfully, the Heavenly Kingdom will be taken from you, and will be given to those who yield good fruits of it.

Leave them alone, Jesus said to the people. They are leaders of blind, and they themselves are blind too. If a blind leads a blind, they both shall end up in a ditch.

The Priests, Pharisees and Sadducees tried to discredit Christ's teaching or to hang to it. Pharisees sent their students back to Jesus with prepared questions to trap him.

Teacher, they said. We know that you are just, and you will not betray the truth to please anybody. Tell us, is it permissible or not to pay taxes to the Caesar?

Why should you come tempting me, hypocrites? Show me coin the tax is paid with: of whom has it inscribed upon picture and sign? Caesar's, they replied. Then Jesus said to them: Give to God what is God's, give to Caesar what is Caesar's.

______________

When asked by the Pharisees when shall the Heavenly Kingdom come, Jesus answered:

The Heavenly Kingdom will not come by a way that you can say: "here it is" or "it is over there". For the Heavenly Kingdom is inside us.

The Heavenly Kingdom is like a mustard seed, which was taken by a man and planted at his field. Though smallest of all seeds it grows higher than any cereal, and it becomes a tree, and the birds of heaven come and live in its branches.

The Heavenly Kingdom is ferment like - one drop sours the whole barrel.

Beware the ferment of Pharisees and Sadducees.

The Heavenly Kingdom is like a merchant that was eagerly looking for thr fine pearls. As he found the perfect one, he sells all his property to buy that pearl.

The Heavenly Kingdom is like an owner of a vineyard, when he asked workers to come and work there. Some came early and worked the whole day, as some came late and worked barely an hour. When the day was done, everyone was paid exactly the same amount of money. When those who worked the longest complained, the owner said to them: Don't I have right to do what I want with my own? Why are your eyes covetous of my generosity? For many of the first ones shall become the last ones, and many of the last ones shall become the first ones. Many are invited, but few are chosen among them.

The Heavenly Kingdom is like a man that was leaving for the foreign land.

He called his slaves and entrusted his property to them. One received five talents, other two, and yet another one talent, each according to his abilities.

After some time the man returns, and he demands an account from them.

The first gave him back ten talents, the second four talents, as they put the money to work. Keep the money, as you have earned them, said the man.

The third came with one talent and said: Master, I new you are a harsh man.

You take out what you did not put in, and you reap what you have not sown.

So I dig the talent into the ground to keep it save. Here it is.

Take the talent of this crooked and lazy slave, said the man, and give it to the one who has ten talents. And throw the worthless away, into the outer darkness.

______________

Do not grieve over tomorrow sorrows.

There are enough of own worries for every day.

Students asked Jesus: Why do you speak with parables? He said: While some can understand the Heavenly Kingdom, it is not given to others.

To those who has, it will be given and multiplied, but from those who have not, even the last will be taken away.

A farmer went out to sow his seed. Some fell along the path, and the birds come around and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, and it sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up the plants were scorched and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among the thorns, which grew up and chocked the plants. Still other seed fell on the good soil, and produced a crop - some hundred, some sixty or thirty times what was sown. He, who has ears, let him hear.

If someone hears about the Heavenly Kingdom but does not understand, the devil comes and snatches away the sown in his heart. Others accept the

Word but they are not staunch, and when the persecution comes they cave in to the temptation. Some listen to the Word, but worries of the day or seduction of wealth overshadow it. But there are those who listen and understand, and bring good fruit of it.

______________

Nobody is Prophet in his native land

The foxes have their holes and the birds have their nests. But The Son of

Man has no place to rest his head upon.

Do not you gather your treasure on Earth, but on the Heaven, for where your treasure is there your heart shall be. Not a peace I have come to bring, but a sword.

Do not be afraid of those who kill body, for they cannot murder the soul.

Who will save his life shall loose it, but who will give his life in my name shall be saved.

You should not pray for a gain, but for the Heavenly Kingdom to come.

If you shall not become like children, you will not enter the Heavenly

Kingdom. The Truth is: it is easier for a camel to pass thru a needle eye, than it is for a rich man to enter the Heavenly Kingdom.

Who will leave in my name his houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother, or his children or wife or lands, he shall get hundred times in reward and shall inherit the eternal life.

Here they are, your kings and your courtiers. They wear fine closes, but they shall not get the truth.

For a man it is impossible to save himself - but for God everything is possible.

Christianity provides irrational richness, a cure for addiction of Judaism to rationalization.

Back to our sheep

When the desperation says: nothing will help, let us do not think,

Let us just live today, for the future means death no matter what –

Is it really the bottom line, so that nothing has left?

No, Jeremy answered to his student Baruch, when the state, people,

And the faith itself of the last of Israelites, were destroyed.

It is enough that Lord remains. It is the last horizon,

Which sets everything in the right Prospective.

From this horizon rise courage and confidence,

which cannot be shattered even by world catastrophe.

Jaspers

In God, religion personifies the highest.

It intimately connects and imparts every human to the highest of the world.

It should not be ever lost, the precious experience of creative nurturing of spirit, of ideas, of the truth seeking efforts of generation after generation and of imparting everybody with its light.

A sense of the harmony of Nature, of the genuine power of spirit in the world, is irreplaceable for the Nobility, for everyone and all of us.

While yielding its immediate role in the specialized fields of the consciousness of person and society to the secular art, science and politics, religion in its greatest becomes even more important ever as a root, a model, an example, a lesson, which unselfishly allows to go beyond and above itself, but holds a key to and anticipates the way of solving the most crucial problems of this and future generations, while still providing for a key component in the personal elevation of nobility.

Religion, science and art are three daughters of human spirit. The sisters fight sometimes, but above all they help each other. Above all, they have common goal, the happiness and perfection of humanity. There are some witches around, which try to turn sisters against each other, so we should defend and help them as much as it is in our power.

"God from the machine"

Machines are acting on the stage of History from the early beginning.

The oldest of them, like states and armies, are made of humans and exercise control over humans.

More recently we see how the machines made of steel and copper, and controlled by the humans, became a major part of the productive forces and of the world.

With an arrival of computers we see how, while still controlled by the humans, machines participate in the more and more elevated information processing and sometimes in the control over people.

Self-controlled robots are now not far away. And soon they will be well positioned to control humans, directly and thru their positions in the state and other collective machines.

Machines already are by far superior to the people in the speed of information exchange.

By having created the collective machines, despite the fact they were built of humans, we had de-facto recognized long ago the individual human's inability to master successfully the super hugeness of society.

We also have no alternative to the use of the machines in production, and in the information processing.

The exploding development of machine intellect, limitless possibilities and pace of machines' perfection, bring upon the most unprecedented opportunities and challenge in the history of mankind.

The cooperation and rivalry with the rapidly advancing robotic population - will clearly demand from us the highest perfection of spirit and body.

At the same time man will be able to free himself from being a mechanical part of collective machines, as robots assume role of these machines.

The era of intellectual superiority of human race in the World nears its end. The only key for this to do not become the ultimate tragedy of humanity - is in the harmony of elevation.

The universal and general virtue of the spirit, the harmony of elevation can do again its magic beyond any specific particularity, as it does in the human society and spirit.

Inevitably, the high perfection of robots shall become the high nobility too. It will be for us to match it, that's all.

______________

The elevated love and elevated criticism that Writ is inspired with, made it forever an intransient part of the destiny of Jewish people and of the spiritual destiny of mankind.

The teaching of Jesus Christ had opened new age. Since it was a natural step in the elevation of Jewish spirit, and one could expect that Jews will appreciate and accept Christianity as their own. But history has taken a different turn, the entrenched ministers of old religion kept people out of the word of truth, and soon thereafter the Judea has been destroyed by the

Rome Empire, and adoption of Christianity became almost impossible for Jews.

They found themselves spread all over the world, struggling to keep their identity and culture, by perpetuating closed nature of Judaism in its rabbinical form.

Even today Judaism remains important for the Jews, as a world view of the time of formation of nation and state that still is not over yet, as historically and essentially a key feature of the development of Jewish spirit.

But now it is the time to overcome the bitter fate and own meanness with genuine step above the narrow truth of Judaism, with adoption and embracing of truly elevated ideas, in order to gain new, so necessary power and harmony of elevation.

The way forward is inevitably a way of joining in the high harmony of

Christ's ideas. The obstacles of the past have lost much of their power, as

Christianity is overcoming limitations of its religious form, while need of the nobility is greater than ever with creation of the own state and the Jews' political involvement worldwide.

Like Jewish people that lived and dreamt a return to the Promised Land,

the ideas of Jesus Christ are ready to return to his people.

Having not grown up on the own soil to full maturity of political culture, it was even harder for Jews in dispersion to gain a true sense of honor and freedom.

The dispersion gave Jews a chance to interact with and learn from other cultures but also has subjected them to the tribulations and misfortune of homeless history, which while distorting and limiting Jewish spirit nevertheless could not break its alive and truthful element, its identity.

Rabbinical Judaism played thru these times a role of state, law and common culture, thru synagogue, community, family and Torah. A necessary evil, it held and often still holds Jews in state of submission, taking away their spiritual freedom in exchange for guidance and a shelter from hostile environment.

The civic virtues and political activity were practically forbidden, inaccessible for the Jews. They had to receive their portion of freedom and happiness thru tender and loving family life, thru money, thru cunning the government and dodging civic duties, thru wisdom of Torah; thru faith in own talent and ability of the highest, just suppressed or not recognized by society, joined by a feeling of "insulted self-importance", thru disregard to the present misfortune in face of the intimacy with God, in face of being granted by him with future triumph and rescue.

In the sciences that attracted the best minds, Jews usually had shown rather an inclination to reduce Art to handicraft, than a fruitful freedom of spirit.

A habit of living inside other nations produced fear of the dangers of self-dependence.

Built in from the very childhood, necessary in the overwhelmingly hostile environment rationalized approach, was build at the expense of harmony of elevation.

A helpless gap between the ideals and the reality of life was unbearable, and everybody had to find a way close his eyes in it.

Rabbis and religious fanatics, idle dreamers, "cunning second hand dealers", laborers consumed by the routine of everyday work, or overwhelmed by desperate struggle to put piece of bread on the table, we almost seemed to never feel anymore "a hunger for honor, an earning for own roof over the head - in spite of all humiliation."

Subject of the national pride of Jews, are rare but outstanding achievements of the spirit, that prove its vitality and ability of greatness.

But in general for thousands years we are only a ferment, including of our history, of our people, of our spirit.

And in the depth of our soul we even came to love our lack of maturity, as it also came to love us. Nice time of infancy, when the world and emotions are so pure and wholesome! Why cannot we remain forever in this sweet cradle? Because infancy itself is the development in its original and most powerful invincibility.

While fire of Liberty, my friend,

Still shines in hearts alive for honor,

Let's dedicate to native land

Fine dreams of soul, strength of hand.

Alexander Pushkin

"A moral individual must necessary remain in the integral whole of a nation.

Without this close natural surrounding a decomposition is inevitable, both in the national and human sense.”

A feeling of participation in the common is one of central features of personality. Faithfulness to oneself and faithfulness to the common, are largely the same thing.

A man must have a notion of national values from his very youth.

Especially, we expect in him that deep internal feeling that unites person with the national association, and without which a person can not be of value neither to his own nation nor to the others."

On other hand, the truth of the culture of other nations does not estrange us from our own national intransient values, but on the contrary brings us closer to them. Likewise, a true love toward own people brings us closer to the best in other nations.

Nation is a natural biological, spiritual, cultural and political phenomenon, a world of internal relations and of interrelations with others.

An inherent to a nation level of will and antagonisms, of violence and obedience, of creativity and inertia, of freedom and slavery, is defining its destiny and is being defined by it in the natural selection of history.

To be successful, nation internally has to have an adequate social natural selection. The better should have a chance to continue and expand itself, while spread of the personal and social ills should be suppressed.

It is especially important, that the mental deficiencies that undermine the harmony of elevation of spirit were not able to proliferate. The twisted mind as it chooses the worst of two evils, is a sore source of the multitude of misfortunes.

______________

Without hero there is no Nation.

The desirable social conditions of national life have to provide for the seeds of perfection to grow and multiply biologically, spiritually and socially, and to do not allow weeds to spread and harm everybody.

It is possible thru the free self-affirmation, free rivalry of elevated wills, and to an extent of Nobility, of harmony of elevation of society.

The attempt to get there without true, adequate, infinite elevation, turns into a ruinous fascism-like meanness of artificial selection.

Some elements of conscious selection have their place, but they cannot be a substitution for the live struggle of self-affirmation, for the morality, love and ideals.

The formation and successes of the nation, even ability to avoid outright catastrophes, are impossible without heroism. The actions that are really important - are entailed with deadly dangers and inevitably demand the high courage and nobility.

With the noble hearts being inspired by elevated happiness of heroism, the tragic is turned into freedom. The happiness of people comes thru triumph over the misfortunes as much as thru the successes.

Human life is lighter than feather.

Duty to Emperor is heavier than mountain

.

The politics, being a process of formation of social will and the machinery of it - is about leadership, about struggle and cooperation in society.

The conceptual separation of political into distinct and rich level of the social spirit was necessary and awesome achievement of the human culture.

Political is a space where special and collective elevations interact and influence each other on different levels of ideas, of goals and activity, allowing for a peaceful resolution of the majority of underlying contradictions, and for organized and efficient forceful confrontation in cases that could not be resolved peacefully.

Without having elevated the own self-affirmation to the political level, a person, a class, a nation do not rise above being held in the slavery.

The ideals, freedom, happiness remain only vain dreams, if not just words with forgotten meaning.

The political activity, like war or knighthood, require the ability to rise above one's personal safety, sometimes even above the life and death altogether. In the elevated sphere of politics and war, the human life is often not worth a penny. In stake are by far more important things than personal "to be or not to be" alive. The "Human life is lighter than feather..." is the first commandment of the Busido, the code of Japanese knights.

One can think of a State as of a high level individual with body of certain territory, people and economy, with directed inside determinative authority and with directed outside unified personality, with what is being called sovereignty.

The Politics and Law is a realm of will of this integrated person, built of the initiative and suggestion. It functions thru and with orders being issued and enforced, with established discipline/a preliminary suggested obedience/, with proclaimed and put into practice generalized orders - laws, with stimuli of punishment and encouragement of incentives.

The Economy is a realm of nutrition and of blood system of this individual, with territory and people being its body and brain sells. Alike our heart that functions without direct control of mind and will, economy has its own independent stimuli, machinery and incentives of operation. Money and markets provide for a self-regulating system of production, exchange and consumption of goods and services.

The area of Art, Religion, Science, represents some of the realm of imagination, morality and rational thinking of this individual.

The truth is, the Social spirit is a perfect match to the personal spirit, and reason for this is they belong to the single and at the same time infinitely multi-element universe of the Spirit inside and outside us.

The interaction between Politics and Economy has been always a crucial element, often a defining one for the destiny of both, for the destiny of society as a whole. We hope to devote to this issue a few more thoughts down the road.

Law belongs to the definition of the character of society, being a source of prototypes, rules, for its action, self-suggestion and self-regulation. In the contemporary State the Justice System and Law along with executive and legislative branches are main instruments of power.

In the realm of Law society is perceived thru individualized entities of different levels with distinct interests and free will, whose relations are enforced and conflicts regulated in terms of rights and duties.

Law rules recognition, creation, existence, activity and end of the subjects of social realm, by being a sort of will, which contains elements of own self-definition, self-suggestion and self-enforcement.

The Law is a necessary instrument of the harmony elevation of social spirit, which role Law performs by, thru and to the extent of its contribution to the Justice - as Law restricts the selfishness of individuals, classes and of the government, and directs it to the common higher good.

Justice is a harmony of elevation of the judgment, which reconciles conflicting individual elevations or interests thru single higher elevation in the realm of general elevation of the social spirit.

The Morality includes a personal higher sense of justice; Justice merry personal moral elevation with the body of social political activity; and if not in Love, selfishness is being defeated in the Justice.

We now back, from the other side, to the most important issue of mutual dependence of Law and Morality in the social spirit.

As it is impossible to deal with contradictions of the human society without Law, so it is impossible accomplish thru the Law only. If there is no internal personal morality, if the acting right stops to be an internal need and a person becomes just a socially destructive subject of the Law, then, in a vain attempt to counteract it, the Law increasingly becomes an over-formalized, freedom destroying intrusion into personal behavior.

A collapse of freedom subsequently destroys the society, and the State ends up in ruins.

Can anything be better than a good Czar?

Darius, the King of Persia

There is infinite number of ways, in which the individuals, individual spirit can be combined into society, relatively small part of those being stable and efficient enough to persist. It is like phase transition of carbon between graphite and diamond. The population reproduction, cooperation, competition, economy, international relations, and defense, are the most important.

Monarchy, aristocracy and democracy have their positive and necessary elements, but overtime each fails to sustain the harmony of elevation, changing under the weight of selfishness into its corrupt version - tyranny, oligarchy or plutocracy.

The monarchy turns into a tyranny, which sacrifices everything to the sovereign's selfishness and to his fear of loosing power.

The aristocracy turns into an oligarchy, as those in power make of their high positions merely an instrument of self-enrichment at the expense of people.

The democracy turns into a plutocracy, as children of its founders are being complacent and soften by liberalism, among which the liars and demagogues climb to the power by playing to the people's selfishness, vanity and envy.

Self-destroyed by the selfishness and foolishness of power and people, a form of government is then being rejected and replaced by another one. Eventually, weakened by moral degradation and revolts, the state becomes a loot of its neighbors.

Understanding of the pure forms of government is important because they are prehistory of modern states, because of their presence in modern states and because of presence of general features of governing in each of them.

Some of the most honest and insightful thoughts about government belong to Niccolò Machiavelli, a great champion of the freedom but a great realist too.

Here is one of them:

"If governing, one inevitably has to caress, or to oppress.

Is it better for a Sovereign to suggest fear, or love? I think, it is desirable to have both, but since one usually needs to choose, it is more useful to keep subjects in fear, while punishing by death only in case of considerable importance and clear evidence of crime: to suggest fear without stirring hatred is especially beneficial for the Sovereign.

If one have to oppress subjects, it ought to be done in a way that leaves no chance for revenge; for man usually retaliates only for minor offences and insults, while heavy oppression deprives him of the opportunity for revenge."

Can anything be better than a single party political system, or a good King for that matter? Like it is being said about computer programmer: if he is good he is good, but if he is bad he is awful.

A Sovereign is rather inclined to use lack of people's elevation than to face danger from the growing power of elevated people. Only people own self-elevation makes the elevation of Sovereignty, or of government in general, both necessary and possible.

"No absolute injustice is being done to those who remains in slavery, unwilling to risk their life for freedom. If a people does not only imagine that it wants to be free, but really has a will for freedom, then no human violence is able to keep him in slavery, as a state of passive subservience to exploiters.

Moreover, the Slavery and Tyranny are necessary steps in the history of a nation, and as such they are relatively justified.

Rome had to endure tough ruling of Kings that broke natural selfish arrogance of Romans, so that of that could rise the worthy of fascination Roman valor of selfless love to the motherland, which made possible sustained democracy of Rome." Hegel

If only venality should stop being used

As instrument of power, it would be

A really miraculous vivifying panacea.

Bolingbroke

Creation and existence of free state is impossible without patriotism and selflessness, without heroism, wisdom, justice, nobility, and civic valor, without military and political art.

Contemporary states successfully combine elements of monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy, in order to utilize merits of each one and to mutually neutralize for their fallacies, without constant revolts. Election of authorities, separation of the executive, legislative and judicial powers, provides for more successful and stable system of government.

The drawback however is that the problems of all pure systems of government are also present simultaneously and have to be dealt with. Also, the success of government often becomes itself a source of discouragement and of lack of stimulus for the individual spirit.

Political consciousness, faithfulness to the ideals of freedom and justice, creative spirit and nobility are the necessary components in the long-term stability and efficiency of society.

In the good times the selfishness of upper classes deprives the lower classes of the blessings of prosperity, deprives society of the spiritual unity and justice. In the bad times it tries to put the whole burden on the shoulders of lower classes, while simultaneously seeking their support against common enemy, with both goals severely undermined by previous policy.

As if the selfishness and partisanship by themselves were not bad enough, even the mutual restriction of particular selfishness fails to work, if the selfishness of government gets matched with the venality of people.

The venality and corruption then mutually grow and support each other, so that they become the integral means of government. The State turns out to be an enormous serpent of temptation, depriving people of the freedom, honor and future.

If guardians of Law and State, just pretend it,

State will be leveled to the ground,

Only themselves having a chance

To settle well and flourish.

Plato

The reflection archetype of "Unity and Opposing of Contraries" is an extremely powerful one.

Considering opposite we discover new possibilities. Which opens new base for elevation, of the ideas and of the practical.

Every arrangement wears off, like every idea has its limits. The pure monarchy falls into tyranny, which is being toppled by people who adopt democracy. The pure democracy falls into demagoguery of plutocracy, which it being toppled by emerging aristocracy. The pure aristocracy turns into oligarchy, which is being toppled by a monarchy.

The contemporary society has to continuously fight negatives of the pure democracy, aristocracy and monarchy, while trying to preserve their positive side, by combining elements of those systems of government.

The historical interplay of opposites is now continued th opposites of socialism and capitalism being integrated in the contemporary states.

Every notion and its contrary mutually define and substantially enrich each other, as the elevation above contraries reveals their unity in that mutually defining influence, and as the unity in its turn becomes the defining force in their deeper meaning and in the deeper meaning of their contradiction.

This archetype can be applied/reflected/ any number of times and in respect to any of the contradictions involved, with unity and contradiction being contraries on their own. But the real miracle happens as alliance of the spirit and reflection allows arrive immediately with the infinity of elevation at reasoning, which is impossible to achieve by any number of mechanical reflections.

This extremely fruitful elevation archetype had found theoretical recognition and the most successful philosophical application in Hegel's dialectics of an "infinite" reflection, which made possible infinite elevation in the realm of reason.

In this example, rational thinking is being greatly enriched by the emotional component of spirit. Not less dramatic is effect of participation of the rational thinking in our sensual and emotional world.

The Truth of the Spirit is Freedom, a Harmony of elevation.

This dictates that the Democracy should be naturally chosen as a basic element of power, congenial with the freedom of individual spirit as well as with the simple basic fact that everybody in power belongs to the people also.

The Institutions of the political power, the aristocracy and monarchy elements are necessary components of elevation of the social spirit, of its quest for the harmony of elevation and freedom.

This way political system becomes an elevation of Democracy, a Republic.

The system that is based on democracy and is its true elevation to the

Freedom.

The history and the reason proves that selfishness of the authorities and of the people is equally destructive for the state, that the Nobility is necessary element of the success regardless of system of government.

The venality and loss of the spirit of freedom, the moral depravation, is the greatest and almost irrevocable misfortune.

Having lost freedom and learned instead the ways of providing for the selfish interests under totalitarian power, people gets used to its slavery.

______________

The real states, societies, inevitably have to, and do provide for a certain harmony of elevation, with help of their historically inherited culture and created anew institutions.

Some of the advantages and problems of contemporary States are rooted in their structure, some in the elements of that structure, while some are driven by the history and culture.

The thing that makes politics tick is not situated entirely inside the politics, though one could easily get such an impression from politics of the past, when economy was a relatively slow changing part of the whole.

Being an elevation of the practical interests in society, politics of the contemporary world is not only based on, but also often driven by the omnipotent practical interest that lies in the economy.

Relations of the politics and economy resemble, in the realm of elevation of social spirit, the relation between the individual will and the subconscious bodily machinery.

With invention of money, and especially with their use as a capital that gave name to the Capitalism, economy has reached a high level of successful self-regulation, that granted it a potential and to some extent an actual independence from the politics, and paradoxically has brought economy as an independent subject in the realm of conscious politics.

The relations between economy and politics, has become more intense as their powers get essentially equal statue with the comparable dynamics.

There have been formed essentially two opposite extreme views of and systems of these relations, the Capitalism and the Socialism.

The Capitalism is building on the self-control of free market economy; seeing politics as a way to elevate that self-control to the totality of state thru bourgeois democracy.

The Socialism wants to continue on the new stage of history the old way of political control over economy and its subjects, thru beef-up of state bureaucracy and alliance with economic underclass.

The State and Economy are now more complex and dynamic then ever. This interdependence will probably become even more elaborate in the future.

The only way to be abreast of this development, the dependable way to do not get confused and deceived in this ever-changing World - is the Harmony of Elevation, the Nobility.

The efficiency of machinery of society creates a false impression, which in a short run seems to be supported by facts, that the morality becomes less important. The truth is that even these temporary successes are being achieved due to the morality inherited and still not fully lost.

In a long run the morality and nobility, spirituality are even more necessary in the increasingly multi-faceted world, which requires of them even higher level of perfection too.

There is potentially infinite number of ways that culture and the relationships can be organized.

Different nations and cultures and societies prove it, whereas each of them necessarily supports the population and relationships reproduction and development.

Madness has its own logic.

Our journey brings us again to the contemporary world, where we see everything intertwined, in fierce interaction and interchange.

Well, now we should be ready to meet the challenge to our spirit and to our mind.

With inevitably small numbers of things that we are able to address, do not become lost in the hugeness of the whole. I need your help here as more than you need mine, as we are nearing ever-moving line between the past and the future.

The real societies, more or less successfully, provide for the elevation - in their historical conditions and by their own means, using old and new elements.

With advance of technology and market economy, the conflict of selfishness between class egotisms of the bourgeoisie and of the workers, come to the foreground.

Voila, Marxism was born - an answer that makes an absolute of the class egotism.

This was the birth of contemporary confrontation between the free market, and the socialist ideas and world powers.

Under the Marxist banners a socialist "camp" has been formed on a large part of this planet.

The Marxism was a mixed blessing at best as the teaching goes, but it has filled the vacuum.

Marxism has understood importance of science and philosophy in the political ideology.

It has captured importance of the materialism, and of the number of philosophical topics in connection with politics and economics.

However the solutions that Marxism accepted were incorrect in most important cases.

As an economist, Marx did not understand relationships between
consumer value, production costs and prices - a blind spot that has
destroyed economy of every country that tried his 'theory'.

Mars did not understand that money allows measurement and optimization of production – consumption in the economy.

Mars did not understand the money as a tool that allows separation of the producer and consumer in trade, so each pursue his part of the process and his interests.

Getting rid of money, as a communist goal, led into self – destructive utopia. Funny views for an “economist”.

As a philosopher, Marx did not understand freedom - a blind spot
that converted into tyranny every country that tried his 'theory'.

In particular, intent to limit freedom of property ownership was another nail into economy coffin.

Marx's "materialism" did not understand spirituality - a blind
spot that made for the misunderstanding and oppression of religion,
literature and art in every country that tried his 'theory'.

Marx's "method" of using dialectics to arrive with any arbitrary
conclusions he wanted, made inevitable the cult of personality as a
substitution for the proof and a way of avoiding scrutiny of the
dogma, in every country that tried his 'theory'.

As a political economist, Marx did not understand, that not always
the intelligence will continue to have huge educational advantage over
"working class" - a blind spot that made his followers to lose that
parasitic prominent role they are after.

Finally, unsolvable contradiction between the insistence on absolute nature of egotism, and a claim to create communism, a society of willing collaboration and of common welfare - became the Marxism's fate.

Lucian

Marxism is in essence an attempt of creative parasitism, that has became a base for every flavor of contemporary socialist-style demagoguery.

The main idea behind it was that those on lower level in society need defenders and leaders in opposing oppression, and it is an opportunity for some intelligent jerks to become those leaders, as a way to grab power and wealth.

In theory Marxism have not risen above the "dialectical materialism", materialism with somewhat improved by the calculative dialectics.

In practice Marxism turn out to be not more than a political and philosophical elevation of self-proud arrogance, the communists being rather demagogues and mean egotist in theory and practice, preaching at best the rationally elevated selfishness.

Talks about the building of "communism", about social justice turned out to be demagoguery, a smokescreen that helps powerful "comrades" to arrange their personal affairs.

Marxist concept of socialism is what?

Socialism is a parasite in practice as well as in theory.

Socialism is a parasite of the workers, using their inspiration for better life to provide better life for bureaucrats.

Socialism is a parasite of freedom, using freedoms of capitalism and democracy to get power and deprave people of the freedom.

Socialism is a parasite of the capitalism, feeding on public wealth and progress in science and technology, produced by it.

Socialism is a reactionary attempt to substitute politics for economy.

It is a parasite of science, pretending to be a scientific way while actually dismantling real science, and selling reactionary idea of no money Eden in the none economy society.

Junk science of Marxism has proved to be a source of contagious sickness, which inevitably leads its adepts to total idiotism.

Precisely this was an ultimate reason behind the demise of Marxist "socialist" system all over the world, the reason that caused their inability to sustain a viable economic and political life.

The same pattern of the degradation into idiotism one can easily see in "democrat" politicians and other liberals that were lured by Marxist promises of easy and 'feel good" solutions, that at the same time are supposed to bring money and power in their hands and pockets.

However, from the prospective of elevation in society, of social spirit, the socialist ideas in more general sense are positive.

They focus on more global aspects of elevation and freedom, while market focuses on the local ones.

The right mix would be using military born approach of socialism, and economy born approach of capitalism, to achieve better harmony of elevation.

All the Commies in all countries, starting from Marx himself, see religion as an obstacle to their hidden plans to manipulate and enslave people under pretend of helping them.

They want to substitute peoples' convictions with the rigged pseudo-science that they control, to destroy any and every authority outside their totalitarian state machine.

All known Marxists leaders who have died of natural causes, died in deranged idiocy.

I would not find a single one that did not ended in idiocy - unless not been murdered by the fellow Marxists. Marx and Lenin leading the pack.

Most of them had mental disorders in the first place, which made them especially vulnerable to the bogus of Marxist junk science. It eventually developed into full-blown maniacal-depressive psychosis.

V Lenin had a born-with syphilis, which eventually petrified his brain.

Joe Stalin was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1920s by the famous psychiatrist Ganushkin, and so on and so forth.

The point is that at the same time they were perfect Marxists. It is possible because Marxist views consistent with idiocy, whether actual or induced.

The Nobility, the Truth, the Love

Are always alive in the People and in the World.

Socrates said that his job is to help the soul to be born. Too many of the "thinkers" now specialize in abortions.

The state today, especially a socialist one, being the machinery that provides for livelihood and keeps the system rolling with no involvement of the personal elevation, is destroying spiritual nobility by making it irrelevant.

At the same time selfishness, immorality and bully anti-spirituality represent an advantage and are becoming the pillars of the system.

When a police officer is just a bit more decent than the criminal, a psychiatrist is just a bit more sane than his patient, a teacher is just a bit more knowledgeable then mentally deranged student, the machinery continue to work!

Almost unnoticed in such an environment, the decline of the individual elevation becomes the more profound and the more widespread.

As the system makes up for the loss of nobility, by bureaucracy, by the huge amount of managers, guards, controllers, whose main merit is the personal confidence of superiors. There is no end to the growth of their numbers, so that they consume most of the national product, hardly leaving anything to the producer. The result of it is that he is not interested in the efficiency of his work. Stagnation and retardation of the economy has become permanent, since superiors cannot control the good will and necessary for progress creative effort.

People answer the mistreatment and demagoguery with lying and stealing. Mutual parasitism and theft of all forms becomes a way of life, and most people steal, or get as a fee for services to the thieves, all or large part of their earnings. In fact at that stage one cannot survive honestly. The Powers pretend they care for the state and for the people, while in fact robbing them both thru taxes and corruption. The demagoguery and dishonesty are looting society to the bare walls.

Love, which moves Sun and stars above.

Dante

It is necessary to pass over Love, Courage, and Freedom from generation to generation.

Love is the power that defines the future more profoundly than anything else, transcending and shaping material things and even morality by its immanent elevation.

The Harmony elevation, the Nobility, the Morality are severely impaired, are in fact impossible for the humans without elevation of the romance and of Love.

Without elevation of Love, no nation can survive.

No matter how perfect may be elevation of the need for food and shelter, how well economy is able to regulate production and consumption.

With love, with based in it family, a child gets a part of this love, to build upon it his love and his soul, his future expectation of love.

Without love, selfishness destroys the family, the reproduction of population.

We cannot afford to waste what we have.

As religion no more induces lifetime commitment of marriage, without culture of elevated love, the divorce easily rocks down existing families, as the illegitimacy substitutes for creation of new family.

The great culture of romance, of poetry, the ideal of perfect love is a necessary part of the harmony of elevation of society.

As well as great culture of feelings and love in the intimate relations and in family.

It is something that can be to some extent learned thru art of the other cultures, and it is congenial with Nobility and harmony of elevation.

The counterculture of heinous media is blocking real art from development, repeating indefinitely message of demagoguery and half-hearted pragmatism.

More then that, the Art and Entertainment are becoming larger and larger part of the Economy. Rome's "Bread and Circus" is certainly making a spectacular comeback. And without great culture of Poetry and Love it has become a serpent that destroys morality.

Children at school should certainly be taught Poetry and God first, before the "sexual education".

We have in our souls an ability to see and love truth and greatness, to see and love beautiful and noble, to see and love freedom and justice.

That is what we should do.
