See the progression that has been made in temporal things. When I was growing up, all the way that we could travel was with oxen, horses and sloops.

These things have all come for our benefit, but don't give God any glory, or you would not want to go back to the awful system of hanging.

 

The advocates of such a barbarous thing have murder in their hearts. Remember the things I say to you in this capitol tonight will never die. He who sanctions the crime of hanging will have to answer for it. Sojourner Truth

PRAT Conference New York

After the Egyptian and Indian, the Greek and Roman, the Teuton and Mongolian, the Negro is sort of seventh son, born with a veil, and gifted with second-sight, in this American world, - a world which yields him no true self-consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the revelation of the other world. This is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity. One ever feels his two-ness, an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.

PRAT Conference 2020: Philosophy and Religion in Africana Traditions: God and the State: October 24

 

|| Wednesday: October 21: 2020: Munayem Mayenin || ά. Under the new and challenging times of the Pandemic this year’s PRAT Conference 2020: Philosophy and Religion in Africana Traditions: God and the State, is taking place online, instead of the two-day format, on Saturday: October 24 at 11:00-18:00 Eastern Time: US and Canada. Join the Conference by Zoom, all the necessary technical details follow this report. The Conference is free to the public and everyone is invited to join in.

‘’This year’s topic is God and the State. As we engage in conversation about the role of religion in our contemporary society, the topic for this year is inspired by Mikhail Bakunin’s 1871 publication, originally titled, “Dieu et l’état.” God and the State will anchor our discussion of conceptualising how many faith-based communities live dichotomously within the context of God, state and personhood. What religious qualities do these communities share? Is there space in these faith-based communities to include non-religious people? How is God conceptualized in these organically religious communities? What are the philosophical foundations of world views that are grounded in human solidarity?

Religion in a ‘democratic state’ is open to philosophical interpretation that expands the chasm of theological doctrines, beginning with fundamentalism and leading to humanism, both atheistic and theistic. This conference will seek to address the role of state power in the relationship between religious orthodoxy and authoritarianism. Join us in this endeavour to examine the role of religion on the state and the ramifications of using faith-based proclamations to enact public polices and use as instruments of social control. A free PDF copy of Mikhail Bakunin’s God and the State is available at marxists.org.’’

The Conference is sponsored by the Centre for Place, Culture and Politics of the Graduate Centre of the City University of New York and HUMANITAS: The Africana Ethical and Cultural Society.

For the Sake of All ‘Humankind’

We humans have never before been responsible for the fate of all life on earth. Are we neurologically, morally, and intellectually equipped for so enormous a task? I fear the answer may be no, for our habits of thought and instinctual responses, indeed, the very structures of our brains, were shaped eons ago, within the narrow confines of tribal and village existence. It took a very long time for an inclusive concept of “mankind” to emerge out of disparate local identities. Yet we revert back, again and again, to hatred and division, behaving in irresponsible ways that threaten the very survival of life on our increasingly damaged planet. Let us finally grow beyond our ancient predispositions, at long last thinking and acting globally, for the sake of all mankind: Enid Bloch

World humanity faces such challenging times, that, it has, hardly, ever, faced before: the pandemic has brought about the emergence of a new but raw and ravaging reality for the world’s working and non-working poor, particularly, in countries where there exists neither social security nor national health services. This time shows how the rest of the world keeps on going, as, if, these vast multitude of humanity across the globe, particularly, in the least developed and developing countries where these hundreds of millions of people are left to ‘fend for themselves’ while their jobs and livelihoods and, at many places, their homes, too, have ceased to exist and where people have lost a part of their incomes because their working hours have been cut or wages have been reduced! As the minds gather around this Conference this year, we very much hope that you would wonder about these humanity and how they are ‘fending for themselves’! And, since this Conference is taking place in America, do, please, wonder about the millions of Americans going hungry and queuing at charities for feeding their families and those thousands of families, who are homeless at various uninhabitable accommodations and those, who are on the streets in the richest country of the world and why is it that this goes on and there is not a single political force raising their voices in a united voice? Why does not there exist a third political party and force in America, that shall not waste or choose to ‘waste away’ in the fringes of other parties, pretending to be progressive so that they waste their entire life and existence in those ‘rich people’s clubs’ only to get old and gather grey hairline and look at the horizon of what have I done with my existence! Oh! I have been a Senator or a Congressman or Congress Woman! Wonderful!

And, do wonder about the working and non-working humanity of the developed world where, why, they, too, carry the same can of ‘paying the high price’ in this pandemic and as their incomes, working hours go down and lock downs have cost much job losses and much more are yet to come and the hardship does not appear anywhere near ending and they are getting poorer as the rich keep on getting richer, even, under the lockdowns? The rich are getting richer and the poor poorer while the status-quo complicity mechanism keeps on going and the so-called progressive parties have nothing to say about any of these nor about the state of the world. No political parties in the world has anything to say or offer for the world, world humanity or the state of the world nor do they have anything to offer for their own country and own people other than carrying on serving the status-quo complicity mechanism so run, maintain and enforce all the poverty-paradigm of capitalism and pseudonomics and all its high-cruelties, high-barbarities and high-brutalities in all poverty-wage, poverty-social security, homelessness, rough-sleeping and much more besides. And in this process, you wonder, as to why and how on earth now they are beginning to be patriotic!

It is time we look at the view we find our vision is straining to take in, this raw and ravaging world: while we speak of God and the State, ought we not to consider this as well that there is something else, something most profound in all this, is missing, humanity as one, is missing. For neither God nor the state has hardly any meaning unless this humanity does exist in this equation. And as soon as this humanity is added we find God goes farther off in the background and the state goes farther away, too, and what appears as the reality is the ecology of humanity, that is called society, that rises from the individuals of  humanity, into families, networks of families, communities, agencies and organisations, that is the arterial architecture of human society. That is missing from all, that are happening in the world. That capitalism has brought everything on the path of extinction and which path is now placed on a terminal route because capitalism has become pseudonomics, which is at the terminal now. It shall wipe out all life, the whole web and ecology of life on earth, including, humanity. That is where we are at while this very capitalism has created a world where, despite we having the resources to be able to afford and deliver universal education for all, it has closed off the avenue of education, learning and enlightenment for the majority while it abuses resources in all sorts of absurd, decadent, corrupt and immoral pursuits, such as, the maintenance of armies and armed forces and the weapons and arsenal and much more besides!

Think of the American election system: how many billions of dollars are being ‘wasted’ in this mad pursuit of getting a President elected for America, one of the most rich country in the world so that a high percentage of its citizens go hungry, waste in homelessness, rough-sleeping, die of drug and alcohol abuse, in gun crimes, in many other homicides and the vast majority of workers live and die at minimum wage where some few hundred billionaires and few thousand millionaires  own the vast majority of the assets and wealth of America! No one is there to rise and ask: hang on a minute: what is and, most importantly, why is this absurd, irrational, grotesque, barbaric and immoral system is going on for so long when it serves only these few thousand rich people while ensure the others, the majority suffers nothing but hardship! No one is saying that because the status-quo complicity mechanism is held up and under and in it voices perish away without daring to raise itself up. Because capitalism’s poverty-paradigm has enforced itself in the psyche and in the public and private domains and it has ‘terminated’ hope, the hope, that dares to believe, change is possible and that a better society and system of governance are possible and that we humans as individuals have that power to choose and work for and seek, attempt and achieve that change. Capitalism says no and that comes off its poverty-paradigm. And when capitalism says: the Eagle has run away with the Mojave Desert, such as the American Presidential Election taking place, we forget everything, that are the highest most of importance to us and we run to see where and how the Eagle has run away with the Mojave Desert and the media runs to that as well because that is how they make money because they get paid a portion of the money being spent in the election campaigns and we forget all about our homes: that we do not have any homes because we are homeless. We forget all about those of us on the street, we forget those hungry and malnutrated fellows of ours queuing at food banks, we forget the plight of the poor pensioner and the army of workers at poverty-wage and we forget the idiosyncrasies, doggedly blindness and poverty of vision and loathing against segment of humanity and the efforts to disempower, disenfranchise and diminish humanity from the governance structures and mechanisms  of the folly, called, the American Constitution, we forget about the young people growing in hunger and poverty, we forget to raise question as to why in the richest country of the world education rate is worse than some of the poorest countries in the world and, most of all, we forget to ask, why on earth the most poor people live on earth in America for remember only few hundred billionaires, some of whom would soon cross the threshold to call themselves trillionaires soon, and few thousand millionaires own the vast majority of the wealth and assets of America! We forget all the most fundamental stuff and we are ‘directed and herded’ to ‘the pan’ and there we are all busy about shallow, hollow, puddle stuff!

And at the same time, capitalism runs and supports the other poverty paradigm: divide and rule and because it fires, fuels and sustains ignorance because it would not invest in education, learning and enlightenment, that empower, inspire and enfranchise humanity; it divides and rules and it goes at the very heart of humanity because this ignorama apparatus, this capitalism’s barbarity goes farther: it divides humanity and makes different species or races out of the one and the same humanity: that is homo sapiens. Now, they call it racism, the very term itself is ‘fascist’ because it implies that there are races of humanity while the scientific truth is the entire of the world humanity belong to one and the same species, called, homo sapiens. Therefore, the term can not be ‘racism’ and we have offered a replacement to reject this ‘obligatory’ acceptance, that forces us to accept without utterance that there are races of humanity to begin with. It is not racism but self-loathing or self-hatred whereby a segment or part of humanity hates other parts of itself, who are as much humanity as the part, that doing the hating and it generate a similar response from the other side, too! It is time we question all and everything.

But it goes further and creates false races out of the same and one very humanity so there are white race, black race, brown race, yellow race and blue race etc! While the truth is this that ‘colours’ are and can not but be an evolutionary human physiological response in humanity’s efforts to keep on existing, changing and evolving in relation to the reality in which it finds itself. Evolution and change, that are ‘obligatory’ can not but happen because in order to keep on surviving in changed or altered reality humanity must change, adapt and evolve or perish away! The humanity, that kept on going and spreading out of Africa in historic waves back in time, kept on following the route, that led to food, to safety and protection. Along the way generations will have passed from the point the first wave had left Africa and, say, the last generation, that had reached, say, Australia. The generations, that have passed along the way registered the evolutionary changes in the human physiology. We can now, for certain, say that black would become, were it to live in Europe, coming from Africa, white after the evolution of 50 generations and likewise, white, from any part of the world, moving to places, where people are black, such as, Africa, will become black after 50 generations so would any other colour change accordingly, after the evolutionary changes taking place throughput 50 generations. Please, dear reader, consult the Cheddar Man. We have set out the foundation of a new branch of science, that deals with, studies and collates all these vital truths and facts to show us the clear light of reason, science and evidence in Cosmogeogenomodynamics and that would explain and destroy the lies of all supremacists in the world and establish with scientific vigour, light and enlightenment that humanity is one and the same regardless of how their physiologies look or wherever they live. Humanity is made of one human genome with genomic and epigenomic construction, with one neurology, one cardiology, one biochemistry, one molecular biology, one histology, one blood, one breathe, one assistantial homeogenesis and one way of coming into life and one way of leaving this life!

This lie, this political concoction, this mythology, this political and anthropological, philosophical and moral crime against humanity of self-loathing or self-hatred must be taken on and fought and defeated so that we humanity reject the lies and begin to become one and the same humanity and learn to keep on working together to take humanity, all humanity to liberty and equality! We have far too many and far too much important works to do than get involved with these silly, absurd, grotesque and unnecessary diversion! Humanity has been brought to face extinction and they are running and conducting elections and the entire media circus is in it calling people white race and black race and brown race and Hispanic race and this and the other while these human beings in their millions in America are going hungry while their true identity is this: that they are working and non-working and poor humanity, that they are being robbed off by the rich because they rob the worker-created wealth and values and they pay them poverty-wage to suffer hunger and malnutrition and all other kinds of poverty. That they are the most disempowered and most disenfranchised people on earth. It does not matter what their physiologies look like, hunger does the same to all human physiologies whether it is white or black or brown or blue or yellow! So does poverty and all the high-cruelties, high-barbarities and high-brutalities: they do the same harms to all humanity regardless of what colour their physiologies are.

It is time to raise these questions and challenge the status-quo complicity mechanism and rise to challenge capitalism and its pseudonomics. New progressive forces must come into existence across the world with the determination, vision, hope and call to create a better world for all humanity, living inharmony, peace and homeostasis under the rule of law in natural justice. Who are these progressive forces: the forces, that believe that the world is one in the one universe and world humanity is one and the same and that all of humanity must exist together as one on this earth and get all humanity into liberty and equality. These progressive forces shall make it their foremost political, social, philosophical, political philosophical, political economical,  jurisprudential and sociological tasks to fight and defeat self-loathing and self-hatred or what capitalism promotes as racism, by part of humanity to other parts and unite all humanity as one and lead, empower and inspire them to rise to bring an end to capitalism and pseudonomics.

This means that these forces do not hold the illusion, delusion and fantasy that Marxism will rise again and deliver ‘miracles’!  The train, historic and vitally necessary in its time it was, Marxism came and did its work and left because it did not have the mathematics, the geometry, dynamics, geophysics, geo-anthropology, geo-palaeontology, philosophy, political philosophy, political economics, sociology and jurisprudence quite right, which was why it failed. But it served its historic task to advance progressive and developmental shift in the human condition. And that was that. There no longer exists the track to get that train back on track again and, even, if, a track is created it shall not work because neither Capitalism’s short gage track nor Marxism’s broad gage one could fit the train we need now in our new reality in this reality when capitalism has got into and become pseudonomics! We need a new and different ‘gage’ or a seismic shift of paradigm to build different kind of railway track to get pseudonomics stopped and take it further towards the future where capitalism is discarded to take humanity into liberty and equality. These are not the things they are teaching at capitalism’s universities and no Trump or Biden or Modi or Xeping or x or y or z would come out with these revolutionary ideas. No revolution was ever done because a serving King or Tsar or Prime Minister or this or the other had come up with the idea of such a revolution. Revolution comes always followed by a Socratic revolution, that is like the ‘cosmic event’, taking place so long ago, that it takes thousands of years to reach the present so that scientists would get to know Einstein was right about the gravitational waves! In other words, revolutions take place in vision first and it grows and grows slowly but surely. Tell the capitalist world, the revolution of humanics had begun like that cosmic event and the waves are travelling outwards and these vibrations are out there for visionaries to grasp and develop and spread and throw forward! This is time! They and the system always try to ‘terminate’ Socrates’ or block his or her way. They ensured that Karl Marx, mostly, died of suffering capitalism and its ferocious way of seeking to eradicate him! He had to come to England and, even, there, in Soho he existed in destitution! Even, when it is not Socrates, they try to kill anyone, that tries to rise and challenge for betterment for their fellow humanity. They killed Martin Luther King, they imprisoned Nelson Mandela for almost three decades. But these people change society and advance the human condition. That always shall do exactly that. A vision at a time, except, one vision has millennia and mega and deca millennia in its scope. Humanics is new but it has been in the making for decades. And in each day, it grew up and onward and with the decay and rot of capitalism the force, that shall desecrate it shall grow stronger as it gets weaker. This is the historic process of life and death, decay and new life growth. The two young sisters, in Sara and Vicki Mokuria, who are now leading PRAT Conference along with other experienced and wise minds, such as, Dr Green and Mrs Green and Ms O’neal and others, grew up hearing about humanics and dehumanisation. They are not as young as they were decades ago but they are the newer leaders now and these are souls, that shall take forward this challenging but monumental task. It is up to these new generations to take up and take forward the vision and work to keep on seeking, trying and attempting to advance the human condition. For capitalism as pseudonomics is the last albatross around the neck of a suffering humanity and the web and ecology of life, that it shall not fail but lead to extinction unless we rise to bury it first into the history’s dustbin and move onwards with humanics. It is capitalism, that has brought us global warming and climate change, environmental degradation and poisoning and air and plastic pollution along with all its high-cruelties, high-barbarities and high-brutalities and together all that shall finish off life on earth.   

These progressive forces are the ones, that see themselves as the workers for all humanity of the whole world and they are to work to build a country for all humanity on this Universe and on the earth they are working to create a Universal State and Government for all humanity, where each individual human being takes part and runs this state and government together with all other of his:her peers, who are her:his equal while both are at liberty. And the world is a different, new and unrecognisable place because these forces have stopped pseudonomics and brought capitalism under the rule of law and re-architectured it and with it new building-block foundational human rights are brought into reality and soon the world is developed to a point that, even, before its times, humanical societies begin to appear in earnest and capitalism is placed in history with its ownership and money so that equality among and between humanity and liberty for all are a reality now. The gun of ownership and money and their power are no more. That is where we are headed. That is where humanics shall lead us towards. Capitalism is going to keep on slaughtering us and lead us to extinction. No capitalist economists nor any Marxist illusionists or Marxist phantasy economists would subscribe to such thing for the former had got their ‘paradise on earth’, why would they want to leave it all and the latter are pretty drunk in their ‘champaign socialism’! But real humanity and real people are suffering all the high-cruelties, high-barbarities and high-brutalities of capitalism. This pandemic and the raw and ravaging reality, that it has begun to unfold across the world and, how the capitalist politics has absolutely and utterly failed, should be enough for restless but morally righteous minds to keep on going and raising questions and spreading the words to all the minds, the younger generations in particular to initiate personal revolution of rising and shaping ourselves to be able to grasp that beautiful vision of one humanity across the mother earth where they are all equal and at liberty under the rule of law in natural justice where all humanity is one humanity and each humanity is the whole humanity. For that world, to envision, we send our best wishes, warmth and humanionship to all those, who are participating this year in the Conference for we are one and the same humanity regardless of how we look or where we live. All-for-one and one-for-all: humanics for we are one.

|| Wednesday: July 04: 2019 || ά. The Sixth Annual Conference Philosophy and Religion in Africana Traditions 2019 is taking place in New York on Friday-Saturday, October 25-26 with theme of ‘Economic Justice in an Age of Abundance and Scarcity’. The two-day Conference is free and open to the public and everyone is invited and welcome to join in the event. The Conference states: There is no other time in the modern history when such a tiny minority controls such vast amount of wealth whether cash or kind. The well to do, the very rich, the super-rich, the ultra-rich and even the poor engage in conspicuous consumption. Conspicuous consumption has spread to almost every corner of the earth. In most cities of the industrial world and in large and small towns of most countries, vendors dot the landscape peddling useless ‘trinkets and beads’ from countries, such as, China, Baangladesh and Indonesia.

Meanwhile many among the super-rich engage in the most ostentatious life styles not only in terms of palaces and yachts but in soliciting firms to conjure up unwholesome pleasures to mitigate their boredom. We are now witnessing the commodification of all values. The age of abundance is here and it is not only among the super-rich. The availability of goods and services for many ordinary citizens in many developed countries have superseded any period in human history. Yet among the citizenry in these same countries and regions there is lack of access and lack of means to acquire the basics for sustenance which lead sometimes to starvation and death. The radical disparity in education, health, housing and basic amenities among peoples within nations is the fundamental scandal on modern life.

Abundance everywhere and scarcity all around and within us to the extent that the human person and society collectively seem to be afflicted with the poverty of the spirit, that is, the ability to cultivate interpersonal relations and maintain a sense of co-operation. This Conference will seek to address the stupendous economic disparity that exists in the U.S.A and in other countries, large and small and how socio-economic conditions lead to breakdown in social relations and how sometimes economic improvement does not necessarily result in better social relationships. Consideration will be given as to how excessive wealth disorder and income inequality subvert the political process and adversely affect human relations. We will emphasise the link between climate justice and human flourishing.

Ultimately our task is not only to fight for a living wage but also restore dignity in work and foster solidarity among peoples.

Download the Conference Programme

 

|| August 18: 2018 || ά Mass incarceration in the United States has become a dehumanising force that is de-stroying the very fabric of society. Many young lives have wilted and many more are languishing in the penitentiaries for minor offenses and too often for no offense whatsoever. The racialisation of the criminal injustice system has resulted in the separation and impoverishment of families and the decimation of neighbourhoods.

In many communities one of the greatest barriers to a decent education is the de-praved influence of the prison-industrial complex. For human beings to flourish, it is essential that they receive a “universal” form of education capable of nurturing the emotional, psychological, physical and intellectual growth of the whole person. To bring about a humane society, we need to change the trajectory currently leading to mass incarceration, redirecting it toward universal education and potentially recast-ing the social, political, and economic structures of the country. For such transform-ative education to take hold, we must eliminate pedagogies of oppression and repres-sion and free intellectual inquiry from established forms of monopoly control.
Consequently, at the conference we will seek to move beyond policies to effective practice, by exploring such difficult questions as the following:

:Can universal education unlock an entrenched system of unjust laws?
:Can uni-versal education serve as an essential instrument both in reversing criminalization of the poor and in eradicating the prison-industrial complex?
:Can education be emancipated from cultural imperialism?
:Can effective resistance be mobilised against harmful institutional models, such as zero tolerance policies and high-stakes testing requirements?
:Are we suffering from a poverty of imagination among many educational “reform-ers?”
:Can awareness of available “best practices” encourage more innovative thinking?
:To what extent can socio-economic relationships, political systems and cultural productions be redirected toward empathy, community, cooperation, and human dignity?
:Can we truly succeed in building a just and humane society?

If, you plan to present, please, send a title and a brief abstract to: J. Everet Green at everet at verizon.net by September 05: 2018.

Call for Submissions for the Conference: The Fifth Annual Philosophy and Religion Conference in Africana Traditions 2018 in New York: From Mass Incarceration to Universal Education: Unlocking the System: October 26-28

 

|| August 07: 2018: PRAT Philosophy Conference News || ά. According to PRAT  Conference, ‘’Mass incarceration in the United States has become a dehumanising force, that is destroying the very fabric of society. Many young lives have wilted and many more are languishing in the penitentiaries for minor offenses and, too often, for no offense whatsoever.  The racialisation of the criminal injustice system has resulted in the separation and impoverishment of families and the decimation of neighbourhoods. 

In many communities one of the greatest barriers to a decent education is the prison-industrial complex.  An education, that takes into consideration the emotional, psychological, physical and intellectual growth of the individual is essential for human flourishing.  To accomplish this, we need to change the trajectory currently leading to mass incarceration, by redirecting it toward universal education, ultimately, transforming the social, political, and economic structures of the country.  To engage in this process of transformation, we must eradicate monopoly intellectualism and pedagogies of oppression and repression.’’

The Conference further said, ‘’Consequently, at the conference, we will seek to move beyond policies to effective practice, by exploring such difficult questions as the following: Can universal education unlock an entrenched system of unjust laws? Can universal education serve as an essential instrument both in reversing criminalisation of the poor and in eradicating the prison-industrial complex?

Can education be emancipated from cultural imperialism? Can effective resistance be mobilised against harmful institutional models, such as, zero tolerance policies and high-stakes testing requirements? Are we suffering from a poverty of imagination among many educational ‘reformers’?    

Can awareness of available ‘best practices’ encourage more innovative thinking? To what extent can socio-economic relationships, political systems and cultural productions be redirected toward empathy, community, co-operation, and human dignity? Can we truly succeed in building a just and humane society?’’

Those, who are interested to make a presentation at the Conference, are invited to send the title of the presentation with a brief abstract to Dr J Everet Green at everet at verizone.net by August 31.

IV Annual Philosophy and Religion in Africana Traditions Conference 2017: October 27-28

 

 

IV Annual Philosophy and Religion in Africana Traditions Conference 2017 Opens Today in New York

|| October 27: 2017 || ά. Time, because it is, always being and vanishing in space, in human terms, we call it, time changes or rather, time goes. Where does it go? There, where the eternal-silent-space holds its sieve, ever-so-patiently and ever-so-dutifully, so that the time-dust, falls through and joins the eternal-silence of space. Time is like the word: after all human usages, where does it go? There, where it has always been, in 'non-existence', inside the 'eternal-silence' of the 'dictionary'. But here, we are to report, not silence, but speech because, the Fourth Annual Philosophy and Religion in Africana Traditions Conference 2017, what has become, affectionately, known as, PRAT Conference, opens today in New York, opening  a space for serious discourse for two days. The IV Conference will have much discussions, discourse and debates about the pertinent questions, that we face and must seek to get answers.

The Humanion sends all our best wishes and hopes that the Conference enjoys this opportunity to raise questions and seek to find answers to the paramount challenges, faced by the human condition today, not just in America but across the earth, challenges, that threaten the very 'limited' progress humanity has made since the dark ages, through the 'flickers' of sparkled out spells of enlightenment or renaissance, appearing like brief 'cultural comets', in many places of earth, in many peoples on earth , throughout our history. Humanity today faces an 'army of the most dangerous socio-politico-econo-cultural  evils', made of racism, fascism, nazism, extreme and violent nationalism, violent religious extremism, unleashing the darkness of hatred, intolerance and bigotry', xenophobia, anti-semitism, islamophobia, persecution of religious minorities is as such that followers of any and all faiths find themselves being in the minority in one place or the other so that they face persecution, masochism, misogyny, bias-prejudice-phobia-ignorance-fear-hatred-loathing-intolerance towards and against any:all minorities, including, all the Indigenous Peoples in the world, people with disabilities and, this stands as an absolutely expression of the cruelest of irony, despite being not a minority, against 'the woman', for across the earth 'the woman' faces the 'darkest of times'.

Masochism and misogyny have gone to its height, seeking to take humanity down to the gutter with it and 'the woman' is at the 'receiving end of its disgusting, degrading, revolting and nauseating 'socio-politico-econo-cultural' 'crimes'. Added to all that, poverty and inequality have gone on the offensive and a 'political economical war' has been going on across the world against the poor and the dispossessed, both the ones without work and those working, yet, languishing in poverty and absolute poverty. And add to that the ultimate devastation of humanity, that part, that is homeless either languishing in a limbo of being at temporary, and often, inhabitable habitations or worst of it all, those, who are thrown onto the streets to die away. Added to that, education has fallen down from the highest of the priorities and, therefore, a great chunk of humanity is left out of education all together, effectively, leaving them in the absolute and ultimate 'darkness' of the ones, that have neither a present nor a future and a great many of them are 'the woman' and 'the minority'. Add to this the rampant, vulgar, dangerous, unsustainable and utterly selfish, self-centred, self-orbital, self-consumed, self-destructive, self-axial and nothing-but-self-orientated consumerism and what it is doing to achieve its highest aim, highest goal: achieve total and absolute dehumanisation.

Now, which of these problems, challenges and questions do we discuss and who and where do these get discussed? A very good question and one tiny little effort in this is being attempted by these minds in the names of Dr J Everet Green and Jay Green and those, who believe in the same ideals, who are working together with them. The Humanion is there with you all and we hope and wish you will have a great Conference and send you all the flickers of light, that we can fathom. Lit is the word of light. Light is the word, that carries an idea: know thyself and you shall know the Universe and seek to resonate the Universe and you shall find your very self becoming one with that Universe: always in the light of the law: the law of love and the love of the law: and what is this love and what is this law: do and be love or, rather, aspire to be the noun and the verb of existence, expressed in one word: love: For we are just once. Seek not to be either a man or a woman but aspire to reach the higher realm of being, of existence, a human; a human is nothing but an infinity unfolding itself. Why, you ask. Take an example. For A is a man and B is a woman. Yet, science tells us that A, despite being a man, carries in his physiology or genome half of his mother and half of his father, equally, despite taking the physical and outward appearance as a man as the father and, further, that in the half of him, that is made of his mother, is condescend the flowing generations of mothers, that existed since the dawn of humanity and in the half of him, that is made of his father, is condescend the flowing generations of fathers, that existed since the dawn of humanity.

And like A, B, being a woman in her outward and physical appearance, contains the same: half mother and half father, equally, which are comprised of the flowing and condescend generations of mothers and fathers. Therefore, according to science, A is equally a man and a woman, despite his physiological appearance as a man and B is equally a woman and a man, despite the appearance of her physique as a woman. And this is the duality of humanity. If both A and B seek to be, simply, either a man or a woman, they both aspire to be only 'half human' for they are forcing themselves to express, be and do only the half of their existence. Half of anything does not and can not contain the whole. The market and all its apparatus, the entire masochistic and misogynistic socio-politico-econo-cultural spheres are forcing humanity to be either masculine or feminine, a man or a woman, are seeking to 'place, fit and bricken-up' the humanity, that is a shape, that is an infinity unfolding itself, into a  'straight jacket-shape', that can not contain this 'infinity of humanity' so that it forces, it breaks, it cuts, it inflicts, it wounds and it hurts and we bleed and we develop infections and scars: being forced into, placed into, fitted into, brickened-up onto, broken, cut, inflicted, wounded, hurt and, shattered and devastated, humanity bleeds on and agonises. It is time humanity rises up and say: enough.
