King Felipe VI of Spain Offers a Fast Introduction to Platonism and the Current Western Confusion

Yesterday, October 3, His Majesty King Felipe VI of Spain addressed his people regarding the Catalan independence movement.

He said, for example, about the Catalan leaders.

They have shattered the democratic principles of every state of law and have undermined harmony and coexistence in Catalan society itself, even, unfortunately, dividing it. ... These authorities have scorned the affection and sentiments of solidarity that have united and will unite all Spaniards, ...

The Original: Mensaje de Su Majestad el Rey, Palacio de La Zarzuela, 3 October 2017.

It is obvious that the messages from the King are from an epoch were the People had no other alternative than to obey the kings as all alternatives were effectively banned.

So, the ongoing crisis in Spain reveals the much bigger and usually hidden crisis of the current Western civilisation as the current Western culture is based on Static ideals that are no longer valid in an increasingly Dynamic world.

This means in practice that if you tries to understand what goes on right now, in Spain and elsewhere, from a perspective of the established traditions like, for example, what is called Right and Left in politics you will not understand anything at all; as you will be stuck in that everyone lies and nothing productive can be achieved.


The Usually Hidden Fundamentals

Observe I have nothing against the tradition of kingdoms.

The problem is that the current Western culture is based on a system of hidden Dictatorship that is called, for example, Democracy; but is in fact a system of to elect Dictators to maintain Static rules.

Real Democracy is a system based on to maintain a Dynamic process in order to continuously improve the Society.

And as the People of the current culture of the West are fooled to not understand Dynamic processes in a concrete manner are Static rules and Dictatorship the only possible concrete reality.

This way of to guarantee the rules of Dictatorship by keeping the People stupid is formally called Platonism.

One of the core principles of Platonism is that the Ruler defines the only possible perspective of Life and the World and this principle is formally called the Divine rights of kings.

Or like this. The Ruler has the absolute monopoly of to define what is said to be the, so called, Objective perspective.

In a formal manner is the perspective of the Ruler the Positive position in a Dualistic system. Whereas the perspective of the People is the Negative position.

And the very idea of the Dualistic system is to break up Dynamic relations by to transform them to the Static positions of Positive and Negative.

This method to break up Dynamic possibilities is called Moral and is usually said to make the difference between what is Right and Wrong.

And to decide what is Right and Wrong is of course the privilege of the Ruler.


About The Demands of the King

Platonism means that the king of Spain has the formal right to define, for example, the concepts Democracy and Loyalty.

And at the same time says, of course, the People in Catalonia that fight for independence that they must be able to define what Democracy and Loyalty means.

Here it must be observed that Platonism includes to fool the People that fundamental concepts cannot be defined or understood in a concrete manner; so the People are forced to live in confusion and can be easily manipulated.

So, as long as this confusion, of perspectives, exists the confusion in real life will continue and violence is accordingly the real Ruler.

The only productive or reasonable solution is to officially dissolve the stupidity of Platonism; a worldview that was created by the military Dictatorship of the Roman empire to secure that the People are restricted to Accept how it is and Obey.
