The Matrix of Four in Peace and War




'3/11, the day the world changed forever, the day the nuclear era became cemented and the whole planet became scorched.  This is also the day that the proclaimed leader of the free world delayed announcing a no fly zone over Libya, essentially a martial act.  The biggest disaster the planet has ever known, one that promises national destruction of Japan and pollution of the planet and everywhere is war.  Where are the peacemakers?  Where is the means to help Japan?  Or the intent?



Our institutions are designed for war.  And as enormous of a problem nuclear experimentation is, the biggest problem is the problem inside our heads!  The problem that conjures nuclear experimentation and war to begin with is our mind state, that we have for instance built up destructive institutions of war, but not constructive institutions.'

Many ideas correlate the Jungian concept of four modes of thinking and being.  For instance the first four characters of Genesis allegorically represent the four cardinal velocities of thinking and being.  It describes man’s ignorant tendencies, hubristic nature, conniving attributes and our ability to seek and distribute the truth.  There are many other ways to look at Genesis, like all stories, allegories, adages and metaphors, it is layered and open for interpretation.  The Garden of Eden and Genesis can represent both the external Earth and the internal mind for instance.  Refuting all the institutional baggage religious institutions have bestowed on the allegory for a moment, it is possible to see the Garden of Eden as internal and external allegory reflective of thinking and being.
Adam acts unquestioningly like an idiot, Eve acts on what she wants to believe like a zealot, the Serpent acts to deceive like an elitist and God acts to share information, like a patriot.  Adam doesn’t question and believes what he is told.  Eve believes what she wants.  The Serpent lies.  And God simply told them don’t eat that fruit, perhaps akin to the warning of Pandora, a Pandora say akin to the nuclear experiment.
