How To Be A Great Song And Dance Man Of History

When I say the words "song and dance," I do not mean performance, I mean what all honest philosophers, pundits, and people have been saying throughout history. It is a big song and dance in comparison with the reality of what people have been doing throughout said history of the world. What I mean is, reality does not line up with the song and dance routines that have been done throughout history for honesty, reality and reason. What I mean is Jesus, the Buddha, Mohammed, Lao Tzu, Confucious, Socrates, Aristotle, Augustine, Rand, Aquinas, Plato, Spinoza, Hegel, myself included and all the rest of them. We are all just song and dance men who say one thing about honesty and living better lives, but humanity practices another thing altogether in the form of wars, disagreements, dishonesty, and things just get worse and worse. Indeed, we all are just song and dance men until humanity can practice a better way. "Honesty" throughout history has been the right hand operator friend of "it does not work and is not realistic but it sounds good in theory, but due to certain shortcomings, it will not work in practice."

So, Bob Dylan in an interview, once said, "I am a song and dance man along with all the rest of them." With the paragraph above, I am delineating exactly what he meant by that statement. I mean the same thing. Why do I put this under "Arts and Entertainment: Philosophy," because this article is the ultimate song and dance, like Richard Gere playing the dancing lawyer in the movie version of "Chicago". We can all dance and be silly until we dance our way out of it, "it" meaning, the real meaning of reality, but we pay a great price for that. We pay by skipping over things we need to deal with.

So, I repeat, in my mind we are all just good sounding song and dance men until humanity can be evolved enough to put it all into practice. Sweat, sing and dance are the words that come to mind, like James Brown doing his dancing until everybody is in the heat of sweat and excitement entertained out of their troubles for a few minutes. Sure, I can dance around reality with the best of them, and sing a good song with the best of them. But ultimately it does all come down to how sane you are enough to sing and dance with us instead of sit in the audience and go, "Wow, he has got some song and dance routine. Is that for real?" I have to say that my song and dance is real, otherwise I would not be doing it and doing it consistently. So, am I just a song and dance man? No. But, until there is something better humanity can do than the great song and dance, that is what I am with every other conscious master. I am a big time song and dance man along with all the rest of them.

My name is Joshua Clayton, I am a freelance writer based in Inglewood, California. I also write under a few pen-names and aliases, but Joshua Clayton is my real name, and I write by that for the most part now. I am a philosophical writer and objective thinker and honest action taker. I also work at a senior center in Gardena, California as my day job, among other things, but primarily I am a writer.

Innate Nature and the A Priori Awareness of History

The innate nature is fashioned with knowledge. We literally become neurologically a part of the culture we are born into through the fashioning of the innate neurological design. This fashioning is caused by the creation of sub-modular brain areas in relativity with the knowledge contained by the cultural databases and the trends in the memes that occupy the mass mind. The brains are also shaped by the adaptation to the psychological nuances of culture, including the language the brains are subjected to learn.

The created history will always generate a priori awareness for the future generations. The nature of our history, its movements, the nature of humanity, the ages and the kingdoms, the rulers, and so on are sources for what generates awareness.

And there is a great difference between the known history and the history as it was experienced. Even though the veterans of the Second World War are still living, my generation has only knowledge of the war. I have seen videos of it. I have read of it. I have listened to the experiences of the veterans. But my knowledge of that war is a priori, not a posteriori. This is a significant difference. My post-innate nature has not been fashioned by the war. My neurological design has not been influenced by the atrocities committed in that baffling and darkest era in human history. The war is only a part of my representational awareness. Similarly to how most of the reality as I know it in the form of a priori is.

For me, the Second World War is but a page in history, and feels as if being in the distant past. Yet, the generations who fought that war are as alive as I am. And therefore it is not far. The timeline of us having an eternity behind us and an eternity in front of us speaks of how brief our own lives are. In the timeline of infinity, a hundred generations is but a flash of light in an atom of infinite cosmos. So, the influences of history in neurophysiological level of adapting to the nuances of the culture as well as the creation of a priori awareness from the days of Christian inquisition are still scourging inside the mass mind. And in eternity, the events that took place two thousand years ago are far nearer than what the a priori awareness makes us to believe.

Our actions and the history we create have far greater consequences than what we assume first handedly. And in the timelines we deal in the cosmos, we should take more steps towards global ethical development and universal humanity.
