The Trinity of Control and Playing the Tunes of Society

Humans have created wonderful technologies and made astounding discoveries about the universe due to our superior intelligence and intricate machines, but we are still animals at heart. Human nature is animal nature and as such, idealists and dreamers will usually end up disappointed because like animals, when threatened, humans will ALWAYS think of themselves first. In many ways, human, or rather, animal nature is, like natural selection and evolution in general, just another cog in the Universal Clockwork. I believe it is in fact one of the driving forces behind the Patterns of Recognition enabling human history to constantly repeat itself in cycles, because humans and their inherent animal nature have remained unchanged. History has shown the true nature of humanity and of animals, time and time again, as mentioned earlier both on a geological scale with species exterminating other species to ensure their own wellbeing and survival, but also again and again in recorded history when stronger civilizations have made contact with weaker ones. The Romans across Europe, the Conquistadors in Latin America and the Manifest Destiny of the White Man in North America. All of these came, saw and conquered, because it was too easy not to. This is the dependability of human nature. We say it is within our nature, that very choice and meaning of the word, illustrates that our nature is nature itself. We are part of nature, thus our instincts go hand-in-hand with it, as well as all other of nature’s creations, i.e. animals. 

When faced with opportunities to improve their own conditions at the cost of others, on a long enough timeline, the stronger will eventually rise on top of the weaker. This not only applies to inter-civilization encounters. Within societies as well, certain stronger individuals will seize any opportunity they can get to rise high and above the masses. Many times these individuals are like the false prophets I have mentioned before, using the Trinity of Control to play on people’s need to believe, their desperate desire for directions and purpose. The ideas that the false prophets convey might seem sound in theory and they might themselves even believe it at first and have good intentions, but in reality, corrupted by the power they create or simply with a planned out strategy they rise as dictators at the cost of the masses. Stalin and Mao are good examples. Communism works fine in theory, everyone is the same and everyone shares the responsibilities of the state. That is all good and true for Stalin and Mao, but not for the millions that died during their rule and/or dictatorship. They are examples of false prophets using the second part of the Trinity of Control, society. They both rose up as part of a revolution that swept in and cleaned out an old, outdated regime, enticing the masses with idealistic ideas of perfect societies where everyone was equal, and the people ate it up and eventually suffered the results. The same can be said about Hitler, Franco or Mussolini. They are other examples of false prophets who played the tunes of society and used the Trinity of Control to gain supporters and overthrow the established order of their times. Although they were promoting a very different type of society their methods were the same as Stalin and Mao and they all successfully enticed the masses to create new societies which eventually transformed into de facto dictatorships. Without sounding like a doomsday prophet myself, this tendency is still seen today with the various crises facing contemporary society. People like Donald Trump, Nigel Farage and Rodrigo Duterte all play the tunes of society within the Trinity of Control to entice the impressionable masses to further their own agenda, perhaps from a desire to do good but with the potential for the same consequences. Hopefully the consequences will not be as dire this time. Preventing this could be up to some of the more positive examples of individuals playing the tunes of society which will be mentioned later, but in reality the responsibility lies with each and every individual. Everyone needs to evolve a global consciousness and understand that they are part of something bigger. A Network of Legends heading for perpetual destruction, as long as it keeps following the Patterns of Recognition. Unless we learn to adapt and evolve. Then maybe the network could run more smoothly and without interruptions. Thankfully, history also have examples of the Patterns of Recognition providing impetus for progress, so maybe we should not abandon all hope just yet.
