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?
