After retracing the Celtic ancestry and seeing that my tribal roots
go back to Ancient Africa and Egypt, I decided that since my tribe fled
oppression and was conquered at least 3 times anyhow that running from
oppression and living out in some eco-community which is not developed
enough is not logical. We need to stay connected to the internet so we
can help spread social awareness about things like green economics,
indigenous rights, and gender equality. That said, since this is a
credentialist society, I plan to return to college to pursue an
associate of arts and transfer for a B.A. in Environmental Anthropology
and then further my education to get a PhD. I plan to join an
Environmentalist group, the Green party, and a Tribalist Druid order(an
alliance of tribal ecocentric shamans) while I'm attending College. My
Existential Nihilism and Anarcho-communism phase is over and I'm
realizing that there is a natural rank structure in existence. It's
natural for humans to form a complex rank structure; however, I do
reject the position of Warrior Chief and the position of High King or
"Prime Minister." In the form of Neo-Druidism I support the Druid order
is an Alliance of Tribes, Social networking organization, and a Treaty
organization. It's there for people to discuss matters; however, the
law will need to be handled in the local Druidic Groves(the local Druid
counsels). I've already studied Environmental Anthropology for some
time now and have noticed that the Celts had a culture which the "Holy
Roman Empire" sought to hide from people. I asked myself why they
sought to hide that culture so much and realized that it's partly
because it's a culture which involved the poly-pantheistic "Deities of
Nature" being members of the tribe instead of beings in some distant
realm disconnected from our reality. Once one subtracts the alcoholism
and the warrior ethos obsession from the Celtic culture, it's actually a
very empowering culture. The culture is rich in symbolism which expresses a focus on tribal unity and harnessing the power of nature. Instead of praying to some distant dogmatic deity, the Celts
prayed to their Deities of Nature as members of the tribe and also
archetypes of self and nature. In that aspect, I believe they were
actually an advanced civilization for their time because they already understood the
concept of oneness and knew about the archetypes of self and the force
of nature. They also understood that folklore was more than just
storytelling and their archetypes of nature were embedded in their
folklore and their culture so that it could live on even after they were
conquered and so that children could learn about scientific matters
before actually learning the more complex concepts.
Studying the Celts is in some ways like studying an advanced E.T.
species which came to Earth to drop off a few symbols, artifacts, and
folk tales for us to learn from. Even though they were suffering from
alcoholism and an obsession with warrior ethos they left us some
precious pieces which can help us bring the ecocentric shamanic cultures
of ancient man into the modern world as part of a solution for the
current ecospherical crisis we are enduring. The tribes shall rise
again; however, this time we have a credential system and may actually
listen to the shaman this time because the shaman is recognized as a
person who is more wise than the warrior chief. During the Neolithic
period humanity drank beverages which were not meant to be consumed.
There may have been Tribal Shaman who told the guardians defending the
tribe to use the alcohol for wounds instead of using it as a beverage;
however, it seems like that Tribal Shaman may have been beaten to death
and that some of those skulls which appear to have been brutally beaten
are evidence of man's digression into alcoholism and warrior ethos obsession.
I don't put antibiotics into the intestines of this body, because I've
studied Environmental Anthropology enough to see the link between
drinking antibiotic beverages and war. There is probiotic beer
available for people who prefer to promote life within their body. The
term probiotic means "life-promoting" whilst the term "antibiotic" means
"life-threatening."
It's really tragic that humanity followed the alcoholic warrior
chiefs around the globe and almost went extinct to learn something an
Ecocentric Tribal Shaman may have told someone after praying to the
poly-pantheistic "Deities of Nature"(the great spirits) but was punished
for being more in tune with nature than the alcoholic warrior chief.
The time of the warrior chief is coming to an end and I'm ready to
celebrate that reality I plan to help co-create. I think that
celebrating the potential of us co-creating a more peaceful union of
tribes is something to look forward to. I support a tribal ecocentric
shamanic meritocratic cyclical system of counsel. I have more research
to do; however, know that central authority is actually contributing to
much destruction so I plan to help provide evidence which proves that an
alliance of local tribal governments is actually achievable, can be
well defended, and be more stable than the current system. There is a
logical method involved and I plan to help prove that this is where
humanity needs to stop thinking we achieved great things we didn't
achieve and needs to realize that in a sense we're back in ancient
Africa venturing out of a cycle of corruption and this time we need to
avoid appointing the warrior chief and need to avoid alcoholism after
this current civilization decentralizes into a more tribal society. We
now have computers to archive our history and the harsh lessons we
learned from defying the law of nature. We can also combine elements
from various tribal cultures and archive them so that we learn from the
mistakes of previous civilizations and salvage what humanity did achieve
so that we can provide ancient wisdom for each generation and a sense
of knowing our roots. Again, my career is in Environmental Anthropology
and I plan to attend college for a degree in such and plan to be a
member of an Environmentalist group, a Druid Alliance of Tribes, and the
Green party. I believe that the Green party is a step toward a tribal
alliance which can actually be well defended without contributing to the
extinction of our species and others. The artwork at the top of the page is a banner
I put together of Celtic symbols which I feel kindred to. It's
currently my facebook banner and I made another one for my meetup group
banner. The Celtic Knotwork in the banner symbolizes the cyclical
nature to the endless knot which is existence, the power of tribal
unity, and the beauty in gender equality. I do support eco-tribalism;
however, do plan to return to college when I'm ready to receive
education in Environmental Anthropology so I can use that degree to
promote social awareness about practical solutions to the current issues
which plague society. In some ways, the tribal alliance treaty
organization I support is similar to the current American republic in some ways; however, the authority
is held locally and projected into a treaty counsel through the power of
a local board of counsel instead of being granted to an outside entity
in another district. Operation Iraqi Freedom serves as evidence that a
coalition military force can help handle defense. I served in that war
and coalition war strategy does work. Again, my current decision is to
attend college for a degree in environmental anthropology, join an
environmentalist group, join a Druid Alliance of Tribes, and join the
Green party to promote environmental justice. I'm still learning the
law of nature and learning to use my shamanic abilities as every Druid's
learning is continual. Everything I've said is subject to evolution.
Humanity, I wish you wellness! Peace!
