My hands covered with blood, my own blood

A friend of mine, someone I’m happy to call “friend,” highlighted for me the possible consequences of my antiestablishmentarianism. He rightly pointed out that, similar to Nietzsche, my refutations of the state could lead to nihilism, meaning, in this context, to a total rejection of established laws and institutions. Without God and the seven laws as an anchor, a foundation, could you imagine where that could lead to? If not for God, huh?

You see, my need for consistency and basis, my craving for the why, causes me to scratch at the accepted norms of my day, to dig to see upon what they are based, whether they make sense, and in too many ways, they do not.

A respected commenter on this blog whom I call “DoB” said that those who embrace the seven laws tend to be iconoclastic in personality. I encourage you to find out what “iconoclast” means, a beautiful word. I look at government, at the faith of my past, the things revered by the society I live in and have found them to be fatally flawed.

And yet, according to my friend, Nietzsche went mad in his pursuits. And with my questioning and thinking, I sometimes feel deconstructed and disassociated. For example, I see the fallacy of the modern nation, simply human cattle grouped by passport ownership, and see the importance of family and tribe, yet I have no tribe. When it comes to what matters, I’ve been cut off from my tribe, now being a foreigner in one way or another to the land of my birth and residence on one hand, and the people of my heritage on the other.

You see, I wonder how much I destroy myself with my rejection. Do I destroy myself or fortify myself? Are both acts mutually exclusive? If I have the truth then I must reject falsehood. If human law is just human opinion, then how can I see it as more? If science is less of the application of the scientific method and more of dogmatism, speculation, faith, naturalistic religion, cult and occultism, then how can I see the statements of the modern acolytes as more than mental games? Isn’t so much of schooling merely indoctrination? Isn’t the news essentially lies and cattle herding? Isn’t TV programming a form of programming? Aren’t the idols of democracy and tolerance and egalitarianism empty gods, no-gods, to be scorned? Are popular sports merely distractions? How can teams like Manchester United (football/soccer) mean anything if the name “Manchester” has little to do with anything to do with the team save the location of the stadium? Aren’t the seven laws more foundational than the edicts of the politicians and the constitutions of various nations and the so-called “human rights?” Aren’t “rights” the terminology of slaves and not freemen? Aren’t the police and army cult-like gangs and self-serving thugs corrupted by the belief that they have power over others and an oath to support any edict of the politician, good or bad, just or unjust?

Haven’t the nations forgotten God?

I just can’t think of a good institution.

But am I broken by the truth or closer to the truth giver, to the source of truth? Surely that should be more important.
