This is probably the best I've read on Unbekoming. Thanks! Makes me think of how religions become a slow, creeping reform of societies. Think of underground Christianity during the 2nd and 3rd centuries during the Roman empire. It was basically a moral critique of Roman standards, a critique which slowly grew in acceptance. In keeping with "Deep Penetration", by nature, long-lasting religions do not start in a viral manner, although after acceptance becomes broad they can eventually be imposed and institutionalized, which can lead to another round of critique.
Actually, you’re talking about “Deep Throat,” a 1970s film starring Linda Lovelace. I’m referring instead to a Russian general’s military strategy from the 1930s known as Deep Penetration.
“Institutions can regulate discourse, but they cannot easily regulate the frameworks that structure interpretation.”
It may not be easy, but if you create the ‘frameworks that structure interpretation’, it becomes much more easy to regulate discourse.One may assert that this was done with the (quick and widespread) adoption of Cartesian Dualism. One effect of declaring the spiritual and the material to be fundamentally different was to create,in time, a more object oriented consciousness.With ‘success’ measured by ones ability to manipulate objects. We are now at the stage, where hopefully, we realize that being an object to be manipulated is stultifying and not much fun for the people we do it to either. But I digress. There is a book that I have not read, by Ian McGilchrist called the Master and the Emissary.The title alone contains a fair bit about my perceptions toward and approach to reality. (From a you-tube I forget who produced it) The emissary talks a lot, the master does not talk. The emissary then takes himself to be the master and screws things up because he optimized for one variable and thereby precluded the ability to achieve homeostasis. Or to say it more directly, we make the authentic self to be the slave of the ego, in exchange for kibbles and bits, rather than a probably more useful arrangement where the ego serves the authentic self.
My world sees the subtle and pre-manifest continually coming into and back out of gross manifestation. Much driven by twisted imagination, with big budgets driving the twisting. I do not blame the twisted, hell I have been and still am twisted myself. However we can clean up the signals we receive by reducing reactive mind engagement and balancing left brain-right brain activity. (And recognize that the spiritual and the material are fundamentally similar.)
A last thought, I asked; what is spirituality? And got a quick answer; spirituality is the appropriate use or application of free will.
I can only say TWO words that seals up the sum. BRILLIANT & AMAZING. A major masterpiece of invective!
Yet I suggest the machinations of that thing called "religion" will be and is what will take a key role in shaping the belief system we know as "Islam." The strategy is clear and non refutable. The truth of demographics will triumph as Islam continues to grow and outpace other religions to become the dominant natural force that can and will be the time period of its rule but interrupted and defeated in a moment by the power of God many laugh at, ridicule and disbelieve.
It is my opinion that the events occurring during the appearance of Jesus in Revelation will see Islam and its armies destroyed at Armageddon and the following rule of His omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience and unassailable Will when He judges the world, the quick and the dead, and moves the world towards the real "End" as it is written in scriptures.
On these points I believe I am accurate based on the Holy Bible and past history it delineates. There will come a time when His power, that has been all given Him, will impose His will without opposition of any sort that could in the least defeat It.
The history of the planet, its rulers, the mind and machinations of an all powerful God are all documented by the Holy Bible from Creation to the coming End. Understand that any and all things are possible with God but also as it is written, only HE knows the time of the end. It is clear that with HIM a thousand days are but a day. But many signs have happened that give clues to us of the approaching end.
There will be and are scoffers in the last days and many scholars believe the "Anti Christ " is already here. This is clear as are the indicative abominations that have manifested since WW2 that are a "stench in the nostrils of God." His Wrath is equal in intensity and anger on a scale but as is His Mercy and Long suffering, measured on that equitable scale.
A few days ago I stood at the side of a coffin holding the remains of a man who had been on the streets in his early teens. He was a sincere, trustworthy and honest man who suffered emotional pain the likes and intensity more of anyone I ever knew save one. I could have given him a million dollars and told him to deposit it at my bank and I know he would have. Yet the emotional pain and hurt he suffered was and has been far surpassed by a woman who I quantify as my best friend who bore incessantly much more.
The reality of a man's existence rides on what I found with both these wherein we are instructed to "enter into the sorrow of their sufferings" for where there is sorrow of immeasurable intensity, therein one can and will find holy ground. (quote) But it was an abused woman I wrote of a few days ago who succeeded in breaking me by her correlation of a lifelong attempt to find someone man or woman who would but more importantly could feel the comfort of actually being understood. Out of the blue I came, but impressed with her stalwart character to reject what was wrong and embrace what was right. Her inner and outer beauty did NOT appeal to any illicit desires but formed around what I best describe as a mind, soul and spirit friendship WITHOUT the BODY being involved. The reality of true emotional pain flowed from her like a river that entered my mind, permeated my soul and broke me in a way I had not been hurt before. But it is true to consider that "learning is a voyage, and not a harbor." Over the period of almost two decades to the present we coalesced into a complete comprehension of each the other. She introduced me gently to the reality that women are generally more intelligent than men. She also introduced me to who and what a woman of candor, gentleness, integrity and purity was. In all those years we abided by the tenet of emotional control to NOT touch the other, to not take liberties with the other and to respect each the other with dignity and no malformed dalliances. I once told her I would like to somehow take her and set her on my mantle to just gaze upon. The synergistic application of her inner and outer sublimity and demeanor was far beyond what my mind could grasp but with that set aside, we became "one" in mind and soul and spirit. There was no romance nor will there ever be such. Why? Because it would be a desecration of an almost perfect woman.
Earlier I mentioned a man who deceased. I defended that man against the machinations of others who sought to see him removed from the job I worked at with him. I was given power by a union leader to protect me from firing when I rejected management in its attempts to lay him off just so a woman who I never trusted could garner his seniority. To be honest, I made the life of the job superintendent a living hell. I mentioned him for a reason. He was a match to the woman who is my closest friend to. Both have been grievously hurt in their lives and the difference was one was a man and the other a woman.
I am pontificating enough, but the bottom line is as written, "He who knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." That has been and is my purpose in this existence on this wretched planet corrupt to the rotten core. Both of them thought/think the world of me but I am sure that was and is my purpose. We each have one....ever wonder what yours is? There is a price always to pay be it time, money, effort, etc but at the end of each day it is well worth it because in my case it is fulfilling.

I considered doing a Ph.D. in history, but then learned that I would have never been able to teach it in a university setting.
What amazes me is that my independent study that I did for a professor political science at UCLA garnered me an A, and she told me that she passed my references onto another student. That research is on my site at http://www.truedemocracy.net/sample/ Ignore any warning you may see if trying to log onto any of these links.

When you assume,
You make an ass of u and me !!!
That’s what my Dad used to tell us when we were children.
Yes, I first heard this back in the 1970s!

yes let's talk deep penetration 😂

I stopped reading at "Havel".
Excellent breakdown Luc, thanks for all you do.
