II. The Exile's New Clothes

It is not so much that we need to be taken out of exile. It is that the exile must be taken out of us.

—Menachem Mendel Schneerson

Now I saw clearly the disconnect between my search and modern science: the existence of consciousness is not addressed within the modern myth because it has not been part of its definition of 'reality.'

Can you say existential exile?

Philosophical 'realism' is nothing new, it is the cognitive expression of man's fundamental delusion, the root of all deception: the fear of dying, the feeling that 'I' is separate from 'world', and that therefore our being has no place in our understanding of 'the world'.

As our consciousness develops, we become aware of death, a fact too hard to bear, too hard to face without a context with which to understand it—so we cover ourselves. We hide our existence because we cannot account for it, our body is obscene because we are responsible for it, and we don't know why.

It is the undigested evolutionary trauma of self-awareness; the veil of confusion shrouding human history; and still the foundation of the global myth—all of main stream science's concepts, theories, and entities stem from that plot.

philosophical realism: [ree-uh-liz-uhm]

-psychopathology

1. complete faith in our perceptions while ignoring our perceiving.
2. the belief that reality is what we observe while not that we observe.
3. the rationalization of a psychological inability to consider that being—perceiving—just might be an intrinsic element of the universe.

Thus we get definitions of life such as "complex assemblies of physical particles," personal experience explained away as an "epiphenomenon of physical processes," a universal myth that defines life as survival, and a humanity that refuses to realize its existence.

For the only 'unifying principle; the sciences share right now is that untouchable doctrine: the abnegation of awareness.

Hence a modern myth that is an incoherent picture of the world; a disjointed collection of patterns and relationships; an increasingly specialized set of isolated fields growing like tumors on their one shared assumption—that we don't exist.

That our passions, our fears, thoughts, feelings and clamors; our loving and hating, our decisions and actions; our cultures, memories, dreams and desires; all consciousness, knowledge itself, that because it is subjective, it is not a part of the 'real world'.

Isn't it time we revisit our most ingrained assumptions?

For the problem of unification is not one of technological limitations, experimental evidence, or cosmic meaninglessness—it is a human question. Modern knowledge has not unified because it has banished its own existence; it has refused to see itself as an natural event in the universe it seeks to explain.

How much longer will we hope that we are but side-effects of some yet-to-be-found 'physical' law?

For as she conceals her own perceiving force, the mind binds herself to worshiping fragments of reality, perpetually idolizing its creations in stead of its creating, and sustaining the psychological bondage that keeps the consciousness from Truth, and humanity from Liberty.

How does a community strive for moral integrity and social responsibility when its official knowledge negates the 'reality' of human experience?

How do we promote environmental values, the humane treatment of animals, and universal human rights when our truth author-ities assure us we are not 'real'?

Philosophical 'realism' is the biggest lie in history.

It is the philosophy that denies Sophia; the belief that there is no believing.

Thus the scientific spirit keeps searching for the truth while denying its own searching; humanity advancing the construction, blind to its constructing. Hence this behemoth of contemporary science is a world-conception that ignores conceiving; a construction-of-world without its keystone; a collection of extrapolations with no common thread.

A tower to the heavens without 'I AM'.

A theory-of-world aiding and abetting the global matrix of unconsciousness responsible for the social, political, and existential nightmare of the day.
