COMPETITION or COOPERATION

 Choosing Trusting or Resist it?

Natural or Cultural Causes & Effects of sharing & trusting, needs, goals & behavior

                  Is Cooperating a natural human instinct!!

 

My evidence here is that natural cooperation has was/is replaced by competition in our culture requiring us into divide & conquer in social role- playing, beliefs in conflicts within superior/inferior classes of dominating relationships.  Like Ôcooperate with me now! or else suffer the consequencesÓ. This stems from ancient empire authorities thru 100s of generations of civilized tradition, & even in many primitive tribes & cultures: see Africa, natives with monarchy controls, like the Sumerian, Babylon, Egyptians, Hebrews, & warring Greeks, Romans, Jews, Muslims & Christians.  Empires are based on competing for resources, control, winning, killing & war!

            

ThereÕs 2 deep studies of anthropology of these cultural control tactics among 1000 in the field published in last century.  Similar to biology sciences of Evolution where compet-ition dominates their views of natures & cultures struggles of the fittest to survive, the strong guy wins social control.  Even the western: Inca, Olmec, Mayan & Aztec were hierarchies dominating the lower classes with business & war until they were destroyed by drout &or wars.  Ashley MontagueÕs book On Human Nature Ð explains how nature & humans cooperate together.  ThatÕs like our sciences ignoring nature in their learning theory how we learn to compete, think, feel, need & work.

         Another destroyer of ancient cultures are from cosmic cataclysm of comet tails, super-volcanoes & earth-pole-shift is routinely denied. In our earth evolution history devoid of natural native Cooperating in village life, farming & parenting. So for last 5,000 years of western civilization competition is assumed how we relate to life in families, business, religions, government & war. Even empire gods have pyramidal hierarchies of superior gods of power.

       

All those lies assume defacto competition preventing cooperating in native life guided by organic instincts, awareness & trusting Mother Earth.  5 deep books with vast evidence of these patterns are Saharasia by James DeMeo; & James Prescott in ÔAffection & the Sources of ViolenceÕ (free on internet) compares 40 cultures daily relationships.  Margaret Mead opened this field of studying & comparing cultures cooperating peacefully & violent ones in Ô20 she reported details & patterns in 3 controversial books on native cultures in south Pacific islands communities parenting, social life & hierarchies.  Her accurate stories prove that we humans are conditioned by our culture over assumed innate competition. Recall old DarwinÕs evolution of nature, not cooperating,  but asserting our struggle to survive.  Still most western biological scientists, teachers, parents, experts, psychologists, medics & social- workers now believe we donÕt have natural instincts & cooperate together at home, in nature & community life.  Ashley Montague researched natural cooperation explained in some of his books, see his ÒOn Human NatureÓ anthropology book.

      

I believe thatÕs because theyÕve lost instincts (as I did) from unatural births & growing up in competitive/controlling families & cultures. So weÕre conditions to live in hierarchies of rules, taboos & expectations; rewards & fears of punishments, guilt, cops, wild nature, animals, dirt, emotions storms, pain, germs, etc. The repressed emotional behavior patterns in empires (of U$) are AAAAAAA ÐÒ anxious afraid assumed authority approval addicts associatedÓ in most families, schools, religion, business & military control systems in ciities based on fears.

         

The field of organic human instincts is ignored by science & medicine & anthropology, except ÒMorphic Field ResonanceÓ theory by Sheldrake about how DNA & consciousness influences all species growth within natural fields around creatures & communities.  However he ignores  our cooperative communities & family relations.

      

In 1960-70s the peace, freedom, equality & pro-ecology/nature movements began to cooperating with each other in 100s of ways, in families & communes, food store co-ops, recycling, volunteer community service groups, etc. So our alternative sot competing are simple do-it-ourself local groups, even bartering, an ancient tradition happening in 1000s of traditional communities, like local farmers markets & home-birthing we rebirthed in US in Ô70s.  We like making decisions in groups opening, sharing, learning & trusting & making keeping & changing agreements as needed now.

              The most rare is  Cooperative-Parenting is democratic, peaceful & fun secret to many families in civilized parentism treating kids as private property authorities.  Most state & private schools & business believing kids are inferior & must be mind trained to conform to adult standards of behavior, clean, diet, love, sex & speaking, etc.  Even the word ÔmindÕ can mean to follow me, my orders, example & demands: Òmind me or elseÓ! etc.

         I have MS degree in family counseling Ôcooperative parentingÕ form Un.of  Ore. 71, based on group psychology of Adler & Dreikurs from Germany rebels from Freud in 1920s. Its more rare & unknown than Jung & Reich to other rebel ÔshrinksÕ who also left Nazi Germany in 1930s. Alders work about family psychic feelings, superiour & inferior relationships,  mutual respect, birth-order & naturally cooperating & making democratic meeting decisions, have family meeting, fun, open needs & goals is too cooperative, honest & democratic for most white-folks & authorities in families, business, politics & sports.

      

 I also tot school in 1960s starting some democratic games in class, were enjoyed by students & rejected by other teachers then.  Like open & honest emotions, cooperating is forbidden by most adults in class systems & hierarchies, not doubting & ?ing their roles under rules of power assumed we must obey.  Also the Ôfree schoolÕ movement in 1970s used some democratic cooperation with students empowered to choose what they want, learn, do, like, love & think about.  Even cooperating with giving teachers & students equal feedback about emotions & fairness.  This is still rejected as hippy dippy, touchy feeling, ridiculous trusting people to cooperate without hard rules & roles, rewards & punishment.  WeÕre free to cooperate if we need more honesty, trusting, sharing & loving here now. Do you trust our leaders more than Mother Nature & being present in lifelong learning patterns how we grow, creating & loving our family sharing deeper joy?

      

Some dimensions of cooperating we need naturally here now: realocal free-trade;  bicycling around; playing, challenging & trusting  each other to tell truth & learning to?
