SELF DEFEATING BELIEF EFFECT ON EVOLUTION AND MUTUAL AID

SELF DEFEATING BELIEF EFFECT
ON EVOLUTION AND MUTUAL AID

Perhaps the most inaccurate reinterpretation of any one given theory is that of Darwin's theory of evolution. Propagated by the WEST is the BELIEF that we must engage the deadly game of survival of the fittest in order to secure our spot at the watering hole of life. Financial Darwinism seems more within the boundaries of our BELIEF in lacking that we continue to harbor with blinded will then the true message of Darwin theory.

In Mutual Aid, written by Kropotkin, an evolutionist with a broader viewpoint than that of Darwin asks a powerful question which we would like to pose to the reader:

WHO ARE THE FITTEST:
THOSE WHO ARE CONTINUALLY AT WAR WITH EACH OTHER,
OR THOSE WHO SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER?


In The Descent of Man Darwin offered a powerful illustration of his theory in its accurate and broad scope. He stated how in countless animal societies, the individual struggle between its individual members disappears and that struggle becomes replaced by co-operation. He states that it is that transformation into the realm of mutual aid has a direct and positive effect on the development of intellectual and moral faculties which secure to the species the most optimal conditions for survival. He intimated that in such cases the fittest are not the
physically strongest, nor the cunningest, but those who learn to combine so as mutually to support each other, strong and weak alike, for the welfare of the community.

Kropotkin urges his readers to study animal life, not in the laboratories and museums but in their natural environment. In the forest and the prairie, we at once perceive
that though there is warfare and extermination in occurrence among a variety of species especially amidst certain classes, there exists, even more mutual support, aid and defense amidst those very same species.

Sociability is as much a law of nature as mutual struggle. Our goal is to merge the struggle with the social to aid man in his quest to transcended this sort of a self imposed struggle. We have found that energy expended upon this sort of struggle to be the most blatant violation of the law of conservation. This struggle and the energy wasted plays in to our world wide belief in lacking. The belief that there is not enough comes from our own misuse of our personal supply of energy and the wasteful use of its application.

This ties back into our fundamental belief in Lacking. If we believe there is NOT enough we will manifest a physical reality that will support this belief. If we Belief there is enough there WILL be enough. If we come to understand that WE are already ENOUGH then we will not drive ourselves at the expense of our brother just to achieve fleeting moments in search of its substitution.


Do those who hold the balance of power possess the compassion to use that power to the advantage of all involved. Are those who imagine the great philosophies of the world the fittest or those who capture their work and and distort their creation into a self serving agenda that mirrors their own short sightedness? Those who thrive in our current environment may not be those best suited to serve us in our quest for fulfillment. Chasing a means to its bitter end requires a detached and a calloused heart, which in our humble estimation, falls short of affording MAN the sort of experience that would render one FIT. actually renders one fit. An unfit spiritual condition yields an unfit love that only starves MAN of that which is essential to the nourishment of his creative nature.


“The more the individuals keep together, the more they mutually support each other, and the more are the chances of the species for surviving, as well as for making further progress in its intellectual development."
Mutual Aid

The Creative Collective Alliance's platform not only offers greater chances for survival, but also to attain, in our community, the highest development of intelligence and organized knowledge. If the our perspective afforded through our own experience can be brought forward to support this view of evolution we may safely say that mutual aid is as much a law of animal life including MAN as mutual struggle but that, as a factor of mans progressive evolution, it most probably has a far greater importance.

Our platform nurtures the development of specific habits and qualities as to insure further development of the human organism, together with the greatest amount of welfare and enjoyment of life for the individual, with the least waste of energy. Adherence to fixed laws or principles is the foundation upon personal experience transmutes into structured knowledge. Conflicted application of those very same laws render a conflicted mind which renders a conflicted instrument of creation. This unconscious type of creation is destructive and in direct opposition of organized effort and mutual aid.

Once again, I bears repeating that if we believe there is NOT enough then we will manifest a physical reality that will support this belief. Conversely, If we believe there is enough there WILL be enough. If we come to understand that WE are already ENOUGH then we will not drive ourselves at the expense of our brother in search of its substitution.

Do those who hold the balance of power possess the compassion to use it to the advantage of all involved. Are those who imagine the great philosophies of the world the fittest or those who capture their work and and distort their creation into a self serving agenda the fittest? Those who are fittest to thrive in our current environment may not be those best fitted to serve us in our quest for fulfillment. Chasing a means to its bitter end requires a detached and a calloused heart, which in our humble estimation, falls short of affording MAN the sort of experience that would render one FIT. actually renders one fit. An unfit spiritual condition yields an unfit love that only starves MAN of that which is essential to the nourishment of his creative nature.
