William Theaux & Natural Law Party

La page intitulée POLITICAL ACTION a été retirée des sites publics à la suite de l'intervention d'un internaute français documentée ci-dessous.
Nous sommes ce Décembre 2000 dans la phase des malentendus depuis mon retour des USA. Cette phase qui était à attendre - lorsqu'on s'engage dans l'action de présenter des hypothèses qui ne sont pas du discours commun - s'est nettement accentuée, depuis les dix années que je travaille sur l'Internet, avec l'efflorescence de l'internaute français.
Comme toujours dans l'histoire, c'est l'occasion de voir la médiocrité opérer son fond de méchanceté et sa carrière de censeur. Particulièrement la page présente a-t-elle été exploitée d'une manière trop lourde à contrecarrer; je la mets donc en archive CDrom et la retire des mains qui en font une arme. Je m'explique à la place:

La page POLITICAL ACTION est une étude, comme tout ce que je présente ouvertement, sans préjugé si dogme et seulement consacré à l'application d'une pratique, la psychanalyse. En l'occurrence cette étude s'est consacrée à l'audit et l'audience d'un mouvement intéressant pour ce qu'il présente l'occasion de joindre les mentalités orientales et occidentales. Il s'agit de l'action (PLN) d'un yogi védique impliqué dans la société occidentale, d'abord avec des représentants culturels comme les Beatles, puis dans divers mouvement pour la paix. Son discours mêlant l'intérêt pour la nature avec un programme politique motivait aussi mon intérêt. J'ai donc contacté ce groupe en en faisant le rapport public. C'est de cette recherche et analyse que l'internautisme français a fait usage de façon nuisible.

A l'appui d'un épinglage par le Sénat dudit PLN comme organisations sectaires, le regard que j'y apposais fut jugé sans vérification pour une action partisane. Mais du PLN, voici ce que j'observe:
   Il ne me semble pas mauvais signe que son yogi fondateur soit devenu persona non grata sur le territoire américain mais garanti libre dans son entreprise à partir des Pays-Bas. Par contre de l'Université américaine qui se prévaut de son enseignement mon email ne témoignera que du sectarisme en effet si l'ostracisme et la censure en sont les signes. J'ai aussi contacté des individus animateurs du PLN; aussi bien en Floride qu'en France qu'à Londres je n'ai pas réussi à trouver autre chose que médiocrité, étroitesse d'esprit et sectarisme en effet (à évaluer sur mes archives e-mail).
   J'en suis tout à fait désolé et n'arrive pas à me convaincre que la bêtise soit le bout du compte de l'entreprise humaine, qu'elle soit spirituelle ou républicaine. Je garde donc espoir et encourage par la présente aussi bien une personne du PLN qui voudrait amender mon appréciation - à me contacter pour que nous puissions renouer une une observation constructive; qu'une personne du parti de la république française de réfléchir un peu plus avant d'attaquer sur la base d'information incomplètes ce qui cherche à sortir de l'inculture.
   A travers certaines études que je rend publiques, qu'il s'agisse de psychanalyse, d'histoire, ou d'écologie, je n'ai pas d'autre intention que de chercher à émettre des hypothèse positives; je n'affirme rien d'autre que mes recherches; qui me font sur ces points et jusqu'à présent mettre PLN et décadi dans le même sac.

On trouvera donc cette page complète et documentée sur le CDrom disponible aux fins de consulter et juger de mes analyses.

POLITICAL ACTION
of the first author who identified Akhnaton-Moses-Oedipus (1985)
and the first also to identify Hermes Trismegistus with Akhnaton (1990)
and first Psychoanalyst who has joined individual and collective psychologies
and achieved the complete restitution (1999) of the Art of Memory - aka PLAN

Philosophy

When I began to publish my experience and studies in Psychology, one of my first books was describing the relationship between meditation and psychoanalysis. Continuing my researches in Ecology, I became convinced that the effective human organizations that will establish the ethic of the age of Cybernetics for the Environment, will be a political party which praises and favors meditation. This is the reason for my approach and contact (see below) with the Natural Law Party (NLP).
Its emphasis on natural laws through meditation frees him from the powerful, but static, principle of prayer and religion - and enables it for a better handling of sciences and technologies.
However a political movement which limits itself to the sole tool of individual meditation, will suffer from a backlash. A collectivity of individual meditative members does not develops the natural effects of meditation as a social form. Looking back at the 20th century, it is striking to see the emphasis that has been put on the social object association (i.e. the 'object' of the science of Sociology). It is a new necessity which allows such perspective as a Medicine of the Social Body. It was known in the past as 'Ceremonial Magic', meaning a definite social setting which exerts natural social effects.
Specific and explicit social forms, organization and dynamic are needed for specific results and productivity that cannot be attained by the sole individual approach.
Many of these social settings are traditional. For instance, the Hermetic Art of Memory has been restituted in a way that addresses the recent Information Technology. In this modern version, it is called PLural ANalysis. It is a group management technique which drives industrial groups, to follow ecological perspectives.

Detailed observation shows how a link is created between individual meditation and a social mechanisms:

A contemplation of the Ecological situation on Earth reveals that it is subjected by the legislation which rules the human society, its economy and its morality. The importance of the juristic is typical of the Western civilization. It is entwined with the scientific activity, which is also typical of the West. With this idea Rudolf Steiner in 1920, was able to give a good description of what was making the difference - and therefore the possible association - between the Eastern civilization of the Veda and the Mediterranean Western culture.
While the Veda are penetrating the natural laws, Monotheism develops a legalistic thinking. With this Occidental legalism, something becomes possible of the industry of nature that unfold into technology and politics.

During the history of the Occident, it is the figure of Trismegistus that represents the association of the two Mentalities - through his relation to Moses, and his social laws, and to Orpheus with the Hermetic emerald tables of the natural laws.
In the 20th century, the memory and the identification of Trismegistus have been restored. Actually, we have learned two things about the legendary Hermes-Thoth-Trimegistus, known during the Middle-Ages as the fonder of Monotheism and patron of Alchemy. We know that he represented the memory of the actual historical Akhnaton, recently discovered.
The second information concerns his teaching. We know that the utmost technology (the social Alchemy, aka Ceremonial Magic) of Hermetism was a social dynamic called The Art of Memory.
With this knowledge we can make a practical sense of the association between the Natural Law and the Social Laws:

Turmoil and the confusion that may parallel the vision of our ancient past as it is getting clearer with Egyptology and Archeology. History of Religion cannot be neglected by responsible politicians in the New Mentality. The identification of Trismegistus restores a coherent memory and provides the model for the Nature and Society association.
A step further, the major specialist in this matter, the historian Frances A. Yates, has shown that in Trismegistus' inventory, his Art of Memory was the intuition and preconception of Cybernetics. When it is developed into its modern form (PLural ANalysis , aka PLAN) it formally combined the factor of Artificial Intelligence (Cybernetics) with the Social sciences (of Sociology and Law). Therefore it manifests the Hermetic wisdom of the Natural Law (Cybernetics, physics of mechanics) which corresponds to the Veda, with the legalistic thinking of the West.

A global political model is thus provided, which integrates the history of civilization and which comprehends the Natural and Spiritual, in the psychological activity which is manifested in Maharishi's project of meditation, associated with the social activity of PLAN.

Opinion & Principle

I believe that with the public access to a larger source of information, reciprocally larger parts of discourses are made public. The effects of this can be understood and controlled and the institutions will so be transformed in a natural way, into a new mentality.
The Internet is part of this process. Therefore, as soon as I could, I have intended to allow its public access to my researches. I see it as a moral behavior according to the New Mentality. Hence I apply the same ethic to any political enterprise I may endeavor.
As this behavior is still not common, I have to adjust with my environment as well as to be cautious and not to apply excessive principle - so I observe two measures: I keep anonymous people that I mention or quote, unless they ask or allow me to do differently - I also store in restricted access mode certain information (either with a fee, or as un-linked confidential URL).

Activity

My approach and my contact with the NLP

I was in France during the early 80 when I noticed a political and spiritual peace movement which interested me. It was initiated by Maharishi Maesh Yogi. Peace, the bold and serene goal was pleasant, as well as to see an active perspective of this sort coming from Orient.
During several following years, I did not hear anything about this movement - but my work focused on the cultural and ecological foundations of the Western civilization and industry, and I was discovering the book of Savitri Devi - Son of the Sun - which describes how the mentality of Akhnaton, also known as the 'First Monotheist', could make a common ground for Western and Asian cultures.

In 1990 in London I heard for the first time about a Natural Law Party (NLP)- and I understood that it was somewhat the development of the previous Peace movement and related to the Transcendental Meditation (TM) of Maharishi Maesh Yogi. Its apparition on the political scene was too brief for allowing me to make a contact at that time.
In 1999 in the USA, an email correspondent spoke to me again about the NLP, and I could resume my project to get more information about it.
I suggest to the current reader to visit its site at http://natural-law.org

My entrance into the NLP

In Oct. 1999, I contacted the delegate of the NLP in my area. We had lunch together, and then a series of email communication took place.

Note by William Theaux

This page presents my interest and my approach of the NLP (Natural Law Party). Unless it is indicated, it represents only my opinion. It has not been requested by the NLP.

My goal with the NLP

I believe that there is a similarity between the connection of the Transcendental Meditation with the political activity of the NLP - and the connection of PLAN with the Ecological behavior of the Society. I therefore endeavor in order to associate these two connections that, I believe, will contribute to the NLP's efficiency in the management of ecology.
