Dialectical Materialism & Rebirth for Marxists! (26.8.2025)

26/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

In a moment – things dialectically change forever. When the axe fell on the neck of Charles I in 1649 – the ancient convention of an absolute monarch in England ended forever. How could this have happened? Well, there was a Revolution which saw tens of thousands fight and die in England so that the emerging bourgeois class could usurp political power from the aristocracy. There was no future for the absolute monarchy. And yet the agency of the “moment”, despite its nature, continue to manifest unabated. Rebirth is not reincarnation – the Buddha hinted about the former but rejected the latter. Rebirth may not be what the average Marxist thinks it is. An effective Marxist regime must be replicated effectively from one generation to the next.

The Mind is a Sliver of the Material Brain!

And a Mind Does Not Understand it is a Mind…(30.6.2025)

30/06/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Again, another paradox. The brain-mind is the reality it confronts. The brain-mind is the division of reality it must generate to understand itself. Out of this evolves science. Science is the endless division that sustains itself and continues forever and without end. Knowledge emerges that is unstoppable once properly mastered. Science returns full-circle – or at least it seem to return full-circle. Material reality cannot resolve its own division. Herein lies yet another paradox. Material reality is a total reality that cannot be altered from its intrinsic reality. What is “inside” of matter? If religion is understood to be a mistake of human perception – then the answer to this question must be another type of science – not a theological (and childish) delusion. At the moment there is Quantum Theory. Here, science has sliced itself into a different type of sliver. It may be that Qiantum Theory will be discredited in some way – or researched into a pointless oblivion. It may be that Quantum Theory will look inside material reality and discover something “new” – but will it? Can it?

St Albans: Consciousness Does Not Exist – and Dubious Examples of “Christianity”! (4.4.2025)

04/04/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The Church suppresses and disempowers the working class in every narrative it constructs. The Workers are viewed as the scum of the earth by the middle class that runs most of the UK’s institutions. The Church today remains silent as the capitalist countries it’s supports brings the world once again to the brink of war. The Church is the devil incarnate which expresses itself through the self-serving literature it’s conspired to print and circulate. The Church calls this lie “freedom of expression”. Of course, it is only freedom of its own expression. Perhaps the biggest joke is that those without theological degrees are considered “unqualified” to see all this! Oh dear, no working 90 minutes a-week (on Sunday morning if the CofE priest can muster a congregation) with a free house and income tax exemption for me, then! Abolish this subterfuge – and the Workers will be one level nearer freedom.

Aravindan Balakrishnan [1940-2022] – Great Leader of the Maoist Workers’ Institute – Remembered! (11.4.2024)

11/04/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Fictional accounts create myths in the social sphere that are designed to brainwash the populace – so that its false consciousness is retained. Those not worthy of mass attention are propelled into positions of power and influence – whilst those true (and Great) Revolutionary Leaders such as Comrade Aravindan Balakrishnan – are besmirched and demonised! This oppressive State action prevents the dialectical power of such advanced thought processes (and progressive labour initiatives) from permeating through the entirety of the Working-Class!

Sonnet: Tilting At Sunyata! (14.3.2024)

14/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Some end their days inflated figures – like Henry VIII (but not Puyi).

Hesitant in handling so much amassed power.

Perhaps it is a seasonal thing.

The mood will change with the tilt of the breeze, or the sweet scent on the air.

Wise words have become ever more poignant.

They slip with a greater ease into my consciousness.

BMA (UK): Why the Workers Should “Shake the Spear!” (7.3.2024)

07/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

I suspect there must be a constructive “rejection”. What comes next is not written in stone. What comes next is unwritten. It could be that an intelligent worker – that is an oppressed entity who can read and write – can infiltrate the culture of the oppressor and work to bring it down from within. This is an important observation as the “lessening” of oppression in one part of society – may well relieve the burden of suffering inflicted upon oppressed individuals somewhere else within society. As the choice of dialectical development is essentially infinite, in theory there is no limit to the objectives that can be achieved. Things are not simple – but neither should there be a “fear” that limits expression.
