COSMIC FAMILY HERITAGE OF AMBITION

 

 


The outright Maoist juggernaut of Marxist hipness was stopped in my world with the arrival of The Beatles' song, "Revolution."  It was enough to stop the hipster triple-dog-double-dare toward trendy violence. But a residue and general tone of the SDS New Left remained in cultural command.  A a young man of an abandoned heritage and without ambition despondently assumes his peers have all the correct answers.

But we huddled around Stewart Brand's Whole Earth Catalog and I found my way back home. R. Buckminster Fuller, Maxwell Maltz, Norbert Wiener and others were found in the pages.  I even visited Galt's Gulch of Ayn Rand's unrealized ideal there.  

My posts of Whole Earth Catalog have been going on for years.  I finally got Markoff's book released in 2022.  The opening pages chronicle a heritage of leading edge ambition that were an influence on Stewart Brand.   

As I delve into this book I will also re-engage memories of what it was like being there.  This will energize my Retrofuturist Phase Two presentation of a way forward.

THE ANTI-BOLSHEVIK ACTION PACK

Image
A Heritage and Legacy Action Pack.  Free. The content of two Krisler books. This post features free content on the theme of honoring our Elders and recent ancestors in a way that continues into the future.  Two blog posts remember the Communist atrocity of circa 1950 Latvia and how we may face a similar prospect worldwide today.  AWARENESS AND ATTITUDE CAN PREVENT THE ONSLAUGHT WHILE CREATING A BETTER HARMONY WITH WHAT SHOULD MANIFEST INSTEAD. The new Bolshevik/Cheka controllers want us to forget our ancestors and relations to make us mere cogs in their machine.  This first post is about overcoming Marxist historical events while utilizing success principles of those who triumphed through adapting to a better way. KRISLER https://retrofuturistamerica.blogspot.com/p/krisler-western-man-in-cycle-of-war.html The second post, also free, is about similarities now in the mandate of controllers that can again be overcome with principled living today.  KRISLER BOOK TWO https://cornermarketrf.

HEROIC TRADITION. NEW THOUGHT MINDSET. MAZDAN STUDIES. MANOSPHERE

[This post was originally for my Paranormal blog. It will still appear there because the implications and benefits of advanced human ability are an important aspect of this work.  However, statistics and protocols are secondary to just plain living well. How we live in a way that is practical transcends any 'science' as a limited field.  Living well is the best paranormal.]   Here is a version of that essay.   Thomas Carlyle's advocacy of the heroic in our culture is no longer mentioned in our schools.  In fact few teachers, much less students, know who Carlyle was.   Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881) was a contemporary and friend of the American transcendentalist, Ralph Waldo Emerson.  I believe that to a student in the mid-1960s Carlyle was still known in literature until his banishment at some later time.  His heroic standards for the West seems to have been too much for our emerging Liberalism.  But this is not a grievance study.  I'll leave that to others.
