Opis

NATURAL ORDER is a study based upon Walter's Encyclopedia, in which the author explains the main results of his 25-years of research on human emotions and sexuality comprehensively and systemically. In accordance with Hegel, he sees human evolution under the evolutionary scheme of thesis, antithesis and synthesis. Based on this evolutionary approach, he shows how humans have originally stayed with 'Eight Dynamic Patterns of Living' that allowed them to integrate their emotions, and to live their lives in an integral and sane manner, peacefully and in alignment with nature's wisdom. The antithesis, then, was basically the last five thousand years of patriarchy. The author shows that phenomena like pathological co-dependence between parents and children, emotional abuse, repression and perversion, the disintegration of sexual paraphilias through moralism, together with the rise of rampant violence and sadism, mysticism and narcissism were the result of straying from nature's wisdom in the hubristic attempt to better the 'impossible' human. More specifically, he shows that we are right now living in the ending phase of antithesis, indicated by rising youth fascism and an outright denial of complexity at the highest level of our governments. In the last chapter, the author shows the baseline of the synthesis that he projects to come about during the New Age, with a reintegration of the wisdom of native peoples and the recognition of what he calls the 'Twelve Branches of the Tree of Knowlege', true Religio, permissive education and integrative and human social policies that are based on a new understanding of the 'possible' human.
