THE BODY POLITIK: RECOGNIZING THAT GUT FEELING

There was a distinguished English lawyer in the 1500’s named Edward Plowmen who created a very interesting metaphor to describe a kingdom and the king that ruled the kingdom. It wound up being a trope that was used consistently in contemporary academic writing. However, today it is seldom used in conversation, mainly because if it was perhaps the people would realize that, as citizens of a democratic republic, they are part of a living, breathing entity that does get sick from time to time.

In 1571 Edward Plowmen illustrated the concept of what is now called the Body Politic when he stated:

“For the King has in him two bodies, viz., a body natural, and a body politic. His body natural (if it be considered in itself) is a body moral, subject to all infirmities that come by nature or accident, to the imbecility of infancy or old age, and to the like defects that happen to the bodies of other people.

But his body politic is a body that cannot be seen or handled, consisting of policy and government, and constituted for the direction of the people, and the management of the public weal, and this body is utterly void of infancy, and old age, and other natural defects and imbecilities, which the body natural is subject to, and for this cause, what the king does in his body politic cannot be invalidated or frustrated by any disability in his natural body.”

Plowmen literally conceptualized the government or the empire’s rule as the brain of what is called the body politic. All of the other body parts are metaphorically acting in tandem to keep the government (of the people and by the consent of the people) alive.

A body politic is a metaphorical concept in which a nation is considered to be a corporate entity, being likened to a human body. A body politic comprises all the people in a particular country considered as a single group. The analogy is typically continued by reference to the top of government as the head of state, or the brain, but may be extended to other anatomical parts.

We all know what a healthy body means to the overall psychological and emotional state of the human mind. When the body is healthy it is capable of many things and it can be pushed to limits beyond comprehension.

However, as a body dies, there are numerous things that happen, and they happen slowly until the body in question decays and rots away.

There are many things that cause a body to die: failing systems, the weakening of vital organs, exhaustion from fighting off disease or bacterial infections, and the literal failure of the body’s immune system to bring the body back into balance.

When we speak of the body politic we take culture and apply it to biological science and how a healthy body politic and brain responds to the anatomical parts that are not functioning properly or seem to have a hard time functioning.

If the brain is incapable of responding to the various failing systems, then the body goes into shock. In similar fashion, if the brain of the body politic, namely the organized ruling body, does not respond to its anatomical failures, the result will be shock or even death.

As governments accrue more power for themselves, they seek out ways to expand and complete their control – and fear and dread secure the ideal atmosphere in which to enforce this type of mindless conformity. Prior to 9/11 the United States was a country that had a healthy suspicion of the policies of their government. There was investigation after investigation into wrongdoing conducted by the state. After the attacks, people turned to government as a protective entity.

The anatomical parts of the body politic were wounded and the brain or the government responded to the pain centers by giving a fight or flight response. The result was the fight response which led to two wars and changes in how we view constitutional law.

This has remained as the Band-Aid to cover the scabs that have never healed; the result is what we see now in the world. A world of chaos is more of the norm as we see that the fight we chose to fight was not effective and that the wounds we suffered were far deeper than we thought.

They weren’t just physical wounds, but deeper wounds that were felt to the core. Many of the questions we had as to why we were hurt and weak were left unanswered.

Those who questioned the government’s motives were completely shut down. They were told that it was not patriotic to question those in authority. The government was somehow synonymous with country and constitution. Now that we know that there have been sins committed, no one wants to cast the first stone. Because we are all in some way to blame for what has happened. The death of our constitutional rights was encouraged by the fearful. The Power of the police state will not be relinquished.

The open conspiracy and the permanent revolution has taken hold on the United states. No need to decide if it is the fault or the right wing or the left wing, we must understand that all of the systems are failing because now there is no response from the brain or the government on how the anatomical parts should operate.

So many crises, carrying so much of a burden and no one can understand it. They stand blinded like a deer in the headlights.

We always will have predictions of disease, famine, climate change, economic collapse and war ahead of us (all part of a CFR/NWO agenda) — no one wants to feel as though they are going to be forced to face it alone.

No one wants to have to worry about surviving. No one wants to endure the panic attacks, the physical toll on the body, the sickness, the thought of death. This puts a definite hold on your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

So, what are we left to do?

If we apply culture shock to the body politic analogy, we know exactly what happens next.

When anatomical parts are damaged and the brain opts out of responding or is not connecting to the pain receptors, the body convulses. It lashes out, it fights to breathe, it fights to live until it eventually lapses into a coma and then it dies.

When people feel tossed about like feathers in the wind, helpless to control their futures, they turn to mass movements, to anything to which they can surrender their individual will. They put all of their faith in leaders and messiahs no matter how dishonest or manipulating they are. That is why we must now understand that the programmed sleepers have awakened and have decided to acknowledge the open conspiracy and participate in the permanent revolution. The sorry thing is that no single person can be blamed for wanting it.

It has been a refuge all along and now it seems to be the only safe solution for survival. The majority want it. Those who say they don’t will eventually give in too.

The application of science to cultural death is a frightening area for most people as they feel in their gut that something is wrong. This triggers messages to the brain that may create panic attacks, fear, angst, and hopelessness.

Recently an abstract was released for a paper to be published in Biology Direct, about the idea of bio-memes. The paper reminded me a lot of the emotional contagion experiment that Facebook attempted with 700,000 of their users back in 2012.

It is the idea that there may be a microbial component to how the spirit feels and how the body reacts. Cutting edge research of human microbiome diversity has led to the development of what is called the microbiome-gut-brain axis concept, based on the idea that gut microbes have an impact on the behavior of human beings.

Much of the research seems to point to the fact that all of what we sense, whether I be a good feeling, spiritual awareness, even panic attacks and fear all stems from microbial changes in the human gut or stomach.

This gives new meaning the word “gut feeling.” It is a scientific explanation of what that “inner voice” may be and how microbes that are disturbed, activated or even stimulated create that so-called inner voice we listen too.

Perhaps it is also the microbial component of intuition and how we need to listen to what the heart or even the gut tells us about what is really happening around us.

I have talked with many friends and acquaintances who have shared with me in private what they perceive of the future and what is in store for all of us. They tell me that they know that I will listen to them, probably because of my firm belief that all of us can tune into each other and realize that we are all part of something bigger than just what we can see with our own two eyes.

I can’t count the times when my loyal listeners have met up with me somewhere. Whether it be on a bus, at a gathering, or at a station party, where they have told me that they try and tell people about their gut feelings and how they are often laughed at or told that they are crazy.

They have dreams that are premonitions, or they sense things or see patterns in images and metaphors and try to ascertain just what it is the universe is trying to tell them.

They wind up having a mounting sense of fear and anxiety.

In the meantime, we tune into our local television and radio stations to hear that we need to find ways to suppress these responses that may just be the very warning signs we need to get motivated.

I remember in my 20’s when I had a panic disorder. I was on medication to take care of it. While on the medication I was losing my intuitive abilities. I was having a bittersweet relationship with the medicated state I was in.

I didn’t really sense anything and it actually helped me become an obeying little drone, focusing in on material wealth and having the perfect little life. All the while I was taking for granted that there was absolutely nothing in my way. It was like having blinders on. After I was taken off the medication I had lost a lot of things but I realized that I had this intuitive sense for a reason.

It was there to help me understand the truth. It was there to help me understand that something was amiss in my life and that I had to somehow find the motivation to move on and to move forward into the future no matter how scary it was to become. I learned to listen to my inner voice and I learned that it was a gift from God and that all the drugs and ways to medicate myself were not the best thing for my well being.

Today many people ignore their inner voice and find themselves living and responding to what can be called the Hegelian dialectic.

Hegel’s dialectic is the tool which manipulates us into a frenzied circular pattern of thought and action.

It is problem, action, solution.

Using the body politic analogy we must realize that the brain sees a problem, or sense that problem is about to happen, it then takes action and finally makes a decision to find a solution to the problem.

When the brain does not respond to the problems and no action is taken or solution is made the body will go into shock.

No matter what the issue, this “stealth dialectic,” as I think of it, aims to control both the conflict and the resolution of differences, and leads everyone involved into a new cycle of conflicts.

With all of the problems facing the body of the United States, and as the anatomical parts are losing their ability to sustain or combat problems such as health care, economic sustainability and conflicts at the borders, they are hoping the brain or the government reacts.

There has been no satisfactory reaction, so applying science to culture I think it is possible to offer a prognosis. The prognosis is not a good one. We as Americans can’t step out of the dialectic. This comes from many years of programming and button pushing. The republic becomes the puppet and the puppeteers can make anyone dance if they play the right tune. However systems shut down, the fight becomes exhausting and like any anatomical part to the body politic, there is shock or death.

Remember though, there is also the fight of flight response that happens prior to succumbing to the inevitable.

Every time we fight for or defend against an ideology we are playing a necessary role in Marx and Engels’ grand design to advance humanity into a dictatorship of the proletariat. A Marxist model emerges from the ashes. However, this model is stealth and people don’t realize that they are asking for it. The public inadvertently demands the Marxist Model to be implemented.

Although Marxism may have killed 100 million people during the 20th century and failed in every single society in which it has ever been tried out, it seems that a new form of this agenda is being implemented and the New Global Order will be part of the substantive process of Global sustainability. This New Order will be paved over the dead bodies of the Old.

H.G. Wells is the author of a book called “The Open Conspiracy.” This book was an expose on what the elite were planning for the future and how a new form of state socialism would gradually take over the world, creating a New World Order that would replace world religion and world government. He stated that it all would be replaced by collectivism. He stated that collectivism would kill religion by replacing it as the new religion and philosophy.

Collectivism is a term used to describe any moral, political, or social outlook that stresses human interdependence and the importance of a collective, rather than the importance of separate individualism. In other words defining one’s self or one’s work as a group or collective rather than by one’s own individuality.

As humans, we have tendencies towards defining ourselves in collective groups, mostly by our religious and political views. There are some who define themselves by their country of origin. There are some who predict that the future will bring us to a time where the entire world will function with a “hive” mentality.

As social networking makes emotional contagion a scientific reality, and as all the so-called infection grows in the body politic, we will see how the collective body will become unable to cope with future shock.

We are a country that has accepted new government agencies, new militarized police forces, nationalized health care, social reforms, and proposals that alter our rights to privacy.

The left versus right paradigm is a sham, since the idea of a silent “Communist revolution” has embraced by both political parties. Isn’t it a fact that both parties are “owned” by groups that want to push globalization and state socialist orders?

We have just followed along blindly and accepted these socialist policies without question. Collectivism has found varying degrees of expression in such movements as socialism communism and fascism. The least collectivist of these is social democracy which gradually reduces the imbalances of unrestrained capitalism by government regulation, redistribution of income (“sharing the wealth”) and varying degrees of planning and public ownership.

In socialist systems, collectivist economics are carried to their furthest extreme, with a minimum of private ownership and a maximum of planned economy.

Does any of this sound familiar?

The programming of minds to accept a New Social Order or a New World Order has been going on for over 40 years. The generation that was programmed first is now in power. The younger, more cynical generations are trying to fight the programming, but it becomes difficult when faced with the idea of survival.

It becomes difficult when you are told that the ultimate end is death of the government that you thought was protected by safeguards and immune systems guaranteed to prevent the death of the republic.

The next step is obvious. The next step is the writhing and convulsing of a body that is headed for its destruction.
