One day, whilst out on a trip to another galaxy, a small intergalactic craft happened to past close to a little, unimportant, solar system. Snad, the younger of the two creatures on board, turned to Twid, who, in intergalactic tradition, was the elder, and said,

“Are there any  intelligent life forms down there?”

Twid, had received the normal education appropriate to all intelligent life forms, including the mandatory virtual tour of all galaxies, and so replied,

“Sadly no. Well, at least, not yet. On only just one of its planets there exists an organism that is very slowly trying to gain intelligence, but unfortunately  it has got no further than the stage where it “Knows” that it knows all the answers, and yet it still keeps asking the same irrelevant questions. It has not yet accepted the fact that it know nothing, and must therefore continue to reorganization any real knowledge that it obtains into a form that it can fit, without discomfort, into its current state of general ignorance.”

“What is the reason for that comical and repellent behaviour, then?”, asked Snad.

“When I was completing my ‘virtual tour of all galaxies’ I was struck by the same thought, and so I asked my tutor, the Great High Woggler”, replied  Twid. “He explained it in the following general terms.”

 

As with all organisms formed in the Great Universe, these organisms developed from an aggregation of common cosmic materials which, when acted upon by cosmic energy, turns into Tooflunger. As you are already aware Tooflunger has the property of coalescing and developing further when acted upon by additional cosmic energy whilst in contact with further cosmic material.

 

The original cosmic energy, which starts off the development of Tooflunger, is not sufficient, on its own, to complete the necessary development required to be able to go beyond even partial intelligence. Other energies, of a much finer nature, are required for this process. Strangely enough, under proper Tooflunger  development, a large quantity of these finer energies are created, and this is where the poor creatures on that sad planet have been unlucky. The Tooflunger from which they are made, some of which those poor creatures call “protein”, is still perfectly capable of  gaining  real intelligence, but, without the proper energies, real intelligence can not, and will not, develop.

 

Some of the creatures on the planet have developed further than others. Some are still very primitive indeed, still living in what is known down there as “mud and slime”. Some are able to propel themselves about in “water”, whilst others can  float or fly in what is known as “air”. The more advanced ones can at least transport themselves across the ground in an upright position, but due to the lifestyle they have adopted in many  parts of the planet, they are beginning to now loose that ability to a small extent.

 

It is this latter group who, at one stage, had the best chance of developing real intelligence, but who, through what they would call genetic chance, were thwarted… big time.

 

“Did the Great High Wuffler tell you what happened?”, asked Snad.

“You mean Woggler.” said Twid.

“Yes I do…I beg his pardon”, said Snad.

“Oh yes, he explained it, and called it “the greatest catastrophe that could have befallen the planet” “, replied Twid.

 

In the very early stages of the development of  those organisms who now call themselves “mankind”, things went wrong. They were at the stage of being still like the rest of the organisms, in that they gathered what they needed to eat as they wandered from one area to another, but they had developed the ability to “walk”, as they call it. One day, quite by chance, a sudden movement on the part of one of these organisms, caused another of them who was approaching  it, to drop his food and run off. The first organism picked up the food, in order to run after the other to return it. It then, purely by genetic chance, realised that if it did not return this food it would have no need, during the next period when it was not dark, to go off looking for food itself. It was a faint glimmer of intelligence, however misguided.

 

This same organism used the same gesture again on another occasion, quite soon after the first one, and discovered that the same thing happened again, but this time with a different organism. Eventually it realised that the gesture was interpreted as a threat and created fear in the other organism, and that this fear could be used to its own advantage. The planet had suddenly got its first, what is now known as, bully.

 

Quite soon this bully realised that it need no longer do anything for itself,  other than make gestures, and it could live in lazy luxury and have women brought to his layer for him, rather than go out looking for them and having to drag them back, by their hair, on his own, with all that screeching, scratching  and play acting. This organism had obtained power over others and he called upon the others to treat him as a leader. They were suitably intimidated and did so.

 

Eventually the area round where this leader had his lair became short of  resources and so he led his “slaves” into the area near by, which was occupied by other organisms. They were not “organised” in a slave/master manner and so were soon put to flight by the use of “the gesture” by all the onrushing slaves. The first conquest. Soon other groups of leaders and slaves were formed, and these, just like Tooflunger itself, coalesced into bigger and bigger groups, with bigger and lazier and more brutish leaders.

 

One day, in one of the smaller, leaderless groups, an older organism was walking over some rough ground, near the place where they used to throw the bodies of deceased organisms, when he fell over and banged his head. He suffered an attack of Gringers and started to hear noises and see flashing lights. In fact it was what they now call concussion, but he was convinced, and succeeded in convincing everyone else, that he had heard the voices of the dead, had seen their ephemeral bodies, and had received messages from them.

 

He was, by genetic chance, just as “intelligent” as the bully with the food had been in realising that the dead could give him “messages” about what would happen to organisms if they did not do as he himself wanted them to do, and additionally what would happen to them if they did do as he wanted them to do.  Oh joy. He became what was really a mental bully. The “messages from the dead” were, for him, an ideal form of bullying, since no one dare do other than what the messages told them to do for fear of the predicted consequences. When these consequences were avoided it was ultimate proof that heeding the messages was “good”. When the messages were ignored and the consequences still did not materialise it was proof that the spirits of the dead had been able to control the “bad”, and were to be rewarded, in the manner the bully would describe.

 

Through time, the messages from the dead raised the power of  this type of bully to great heights. As these bullies multiplied they took on different names in different parts of the planet. The were called Shamans, Druids and other various names, and began to invoke the aid of other forces that they called gods (goods?), goddesses, angels and spirits for the positive things, and  they invented  devils, and “dark forces” for the negative things. There was eventually little that was not encompassed by these increasingly wicked organisms.

 

Meanwhile the other type of bully, the physical bully, was beginning to loose some of his power and was coming under the influence of some of the mental bullies. There were often confrontations of  the two types, with “victory” going in either direction. In some places on the planet, a place now called Egypt was an example, the mental bullies called themselves gods, and appointed certain individuals to be their official “keepers”.

 

In many places the physical bullies, who by now had coined new names to call themselves, such as King, or Emperor, had found that by embracing publicly the beliefs forced upon, what were now being called, “the people”, they could form an alliance with the mental bullies for their mutual benefit.. The mental bullies kept the people meek and subdued, for the benefit of the king, whilst the king ensured the continued life of ease and luxury for the druids/shamans.

 

Ultimately the mental bullies found that a better effect could be created by having just one omnipotent god, with whom only they could communicate. It was also a benefit to have just one baddy on whom they could blame anything that did not turn out as predicted. These bullies eventually became known as High Priests, Popes, Aztecs etc. There were as many different names and ranks as there are stars in the heavens. The joint control of the population became so intertwined that some of the mental bullies were also physical bullies. Emperors were Popes, and  even into the twentieth century the Japanese Emperor  was a god.

 

During the “development” of this abomination of a system there arose on several occasions, from Tooflunger which had developed as it should, organisms of the type called mankind, which had within them the beginnings of  greater intelligence than the norm. These organisms tried to present to all around them a true picture of the state within which they were all existing. In a number of instances there started to be objections on the part of the ordinary people to those conditions. This resulted in the curtailment of the existence of these more intelligent people by the bullies. But in order to regain and strengthen their position much of what was said by the more intelligent ones was grossly distorted and then, in this form, built into their belief systems, to better control the masses.

 

These two sets of bullies are the different sides of the same coin. They each have to have increasingly numerous, sumptuous palaces and imposing edifices (built and paid for by the slaves) and limitless elegant and elaborate garments (made and paid for by the slaves), and expandingly countless, stratified echelons of  parasitic “official beings” wallowing in the trough of hypocritical, prosperous subservience (and again all paid for by the slaves), all  with which to intimidate and control their slaves, so as to distance themselves from the common herd whilst living in a cocoon of luxury.

 

In their search for power these bullies not only continue to slaughter indiscriminately, whilst preaching what they called religions, which believe in love and peace and harmony, but they also use what they call “politics” to achieve their ends. However for killing another person an individual would be condemned, by their  god, to eternal damnation, they say, unless it was sanctioned by themselves of course. These religions also condemned hypocrisy!

 

The thing that they call “politics” is in reality just a form of cheating, robbing and lying. The word politics has really become meaningless in its true sense, as have a multitude of words taken over and misused by the bullies and their henchmen in the struggle to completely hypnotise the people with “political doublespeak”.

 

For example they refer to “the country” when they mean the population. They say “workforce”, “congregation”, “labour”, or “head count”, when they mean employees or people. They talk of “downsizing” when they mean sacking employees. Their “Promises” were always broken and so no one believes them. One day a man came out with a “pledge”. He knew that as far as he was concerned it was just like the old promise, but for a while some people believed it. Virtually every utterance by the bullies and their henchmen is false to some extent. Unfortunately many of the misuses of words has passed into every day use, and so has quite a lot of the unethical  conduct of the bullies, because they have insufficient intellect to understand the idea of leading by example.

 

The result of all this is that all the mankind/people organisms down there are now living, speaking, eating falsehoods, without realising that they are doing it, because their exposure to the influence of the bullies, for millennia, has totally removed the ability differentiate between truth and falsehood. They have been trained to accept everything at face value, just as the “leaders” would have it.

 

So foolish has it become that their main leaders, chiefly their wonderful “politicians”, have persuaded the masses that in order to be a good leader it is necessary to be young and virile. They insist that all the old traditions are wrong and that every thing should be mixed up, and a fresh start should be made, to their design, of course. This is precisely why the situation down there is getting worse by the year. They have no experience do draw on. As you and I know, events follow certain patterns, irrespective of the event, and need treating so that the patterns can be followed.  It is not without significance that down there the elephant, one of the wisest of those organisms, has, as its leader, the oldest female in the herd.




Every silver lining has a cloud.

I shall obviously have to read that again. I think I lost concentration at some point.
