Prismatism - On Language and Race
"The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House" -Audre Lorde
Language is fluid. The same goes for culture, race, and morality. In the 1950's, homosexuality was largely derided as immoral, and sometimes conflated with mental illness. Today, you are considered an immoral bigot to deride homosexuality. Yet, let us examine the word bigot:
"a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices"
Therefore, someone who derides the anti-vax community, or White Supremacists, or Conspiracy Theorists, is also a bigot. Why does society permit certain bigotries at different junctures?
Martial race was a designation which was created by army officials in British India after the Indian Rebellion of 1857, in which they classified each caste as belonging to one of two categories, the 'martial' caste and the 'non-martial' caste. The ostensible reason for this system of classification was the belief that a 'martial race' was typically brave and well-built for fighting, while the 'non-martial races' were those races which the British considered unfit for battle because of their sedentary lifestyles.
However, the martial races were also considered politically subservient, intellectually inferior, lacking the initiative or leadership qualities to command large military formations. The British had a policy of recruiting the martial Indians from those who had less access to education as they were easier to control.
Most racial signifiers identify a place of origin- The Irish come from Ireland, The Mongolians come from Mongolia, but what of the race, 'Black'?
As we can easily establish that the Self is a social construct, or, at least, the social body decides who is allowed to express their individuality dependent on arbitrary morality as manipulated by ideology, and ideology is an extension of power.
Imagine the incredible ideological flex in saying, "There is a magical Palestinian Jew in the sky who died 2000 years ago, and he loves you, and if you do as we determine to be good, you will be reunited with him and his father, God, alongside your grandma, and your puppy."
To which you might say, hooray! Can I see any evidence whatsoever of this process? And the entire clergy says to you, no, just believe us. He is your savior, and despite rampant sex abuse by the prevailing form of his church, despite leaders who kill in his name, you must obey his moral dictates, or suffer an eternity in a fiery place.
Simply put, whoever controls your language controls you. Prismatism seeks to reclaim language and symbolism from the hands of butchers.
English is a colonial language, and using it to express the issues and sentiments of today is more than a little incongruent. We impose quasi-traditions through language, and the narcissistic abuser and gaslighter uses the tools of common language to attempt to control how another feels, their actions, or how they process reality. This illustrates an invisible kyriarchy.
Government decides who you are by worker type, and defines you by "what you do." In reality, you do many things everyone does- you sleep, you urinate, you cry, you get hungry. What you 'do' is just a cultural signifier for your labor's worth.
For example, white women make up about half of the U.S. population, yet control or influence 85% of consumer spending. This means that what white women desire shapes the marketplace at a rate of 85%. When 'luxury brands' are a profit niche for a wealthy class, it is mostly an exchange between white women. Women earn an average of 16% less than men. For every dollar earned by men, women earned 84 cents. Therefore, it stands to reason that women are largely acquiring this spending power from their male partners.
Take Tomi Lahren's luxury Yoga pants. Tomi Lahren has a line of 'patriot' Yoga pants that she markets to young girls. Yoga is an Indian practice dating before the 4th century BCE. For Lahren, it is a commodity. This is directly because of acculturated language- that 'Freedom' and "Yoga' are things relative to capitalist enterprises is an extension of a consumption based cultural hierarchy. When you learn the pants are made in China, and contain a gun holster, it should be all the more clear that language simply 'becomes' what the dominant group wants it to be, and the subordinate group's 'facts' take a backseat.
Yoga, which is mentioned in ancient, sacred scriptures of Hinduism, originated thousands of years ago in what is now India. The Indian government, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, strongly encourages yoga as a cultural practice that promotes physical and spiritual health.
Most Conservatives will snidely deride Trans individuals, yet what is more 'true', a male imitating the qualities of females and saying they are a female, or Tomi Lahren stretching on the beach and calling it Yoga? It's all cosplay, and it's all The Age of Aquarius.
Still, a new Pew Research Center survey shows that most Indians do not practice yoga. Just about a third of Indian adults (35%) say they ever practice yoga, including 22% who say they do so monthly or less, and even fewer who do so daily (7%) or weekly (6%).
Yoga was mostly designated for spiritual ascetics, as in a person who dedicates their life to a pursuit of contemplative ideals and practices extreme self-denial or self-mortification for religious reasons, or as white women know them, jobless bums. In our current kyriarchy it is unacceptable to chastise white women for turning this cultural and religious tradition into a fitness routine of consumption. Yet, clearly this is a colonial gesture, as in, I can have what is yours and I can have what is mine. What is Yoga? Is it what Tomi Lahren decides it is, or the practice that originates before Christ, or is it what the symbol Yoga means to you, relatively?
Yet, this is not new. Gloria Vanderbilt was the first American designer to introduce designer jeans to hit the market in the mid-1970s. A fabric originally created for extremely rugged activities like gold panning became a middle class purchase that created an intangible essence, and was created by an (extreme) upper class style creator. The ideation that you are sexy in your gold panning pants is pure Inesse, or the exploitation of Intangible Essence.
So, what are 'jeans'? Are they gold panning pants made from a fabric designed for tents and covered wagons? Or are they sexy casual hip hugging pants for hot girls?
Symbolic Interactionism is a branch of Sociology that acknowledges that we all carry symbol sets and that we act as ambassadors between different interpretations of symbols.
Let's discuss The Unicorn. The earliest description of a unicorn is from Ctesias, who in his book Indika ("On India") described them as wild asses, fleet of foot, having a horn a cubit and a half (700 mm, 28 inches) in length, and colored white, red and black. Unicorn meat was said to be too bitter to eat. Ctesias got his information while living in Persia. Unicorns have also been described as blue.
Yet, when we think of unicorns, we think of the European legendary mythological creature. This is because this symbol has been brokered in fairy tales and Hollywood movies alike. And, since this particular culture's myth-making engine is Hollywood, we 'believe' the Hollywood definition more than some others. So, if I say, describe a unicorn to almost anyone in 21st century America, they will describe pretty much the same one as in the film Legend.
For non-monogamy, you've probably heard the term 'unicorn' being bandied about in the swinging and polyamory communities, referring to a person (most commonly a single, bisexual woman) who is willing to join an existing couple in sex acts. Is that a unicorn, is Legend's unicorn a unicorn? It's obviously fluid.
Ask yourself: who is the master, what are the tools, what is the house?
Now, for Prismatists, what is observably true is the advocation for Astrological forces made manifest in individuals in many macro and micro iterations. For instance, a Cancer Moon is likely to have a social justice perspective, simply test it and you will find it's true.
A North Node Taurus is likely to 'want' simple narratives, like that God loves me, the world is a good place, etc. What follows is that words and their elastic meanings are expressed differently generationally and elementally. For Libra, for instance 'Peace' means no war. For Leo, 'Peace Through Strength' is a meaningful dictate. Therefore, a generation with Pluto in Leo (1938 to 1957) will hail strength and peace through strength as being an acceptable justification for bombing countries who are perceived enemies, etc. Only this generation could conceive of a 'Peacekeeper Missile'.
Meanwhile, a generation of Pluto in Libra (1971-1983) will find ALL war evil and wrong, the more pure and truthful rationale from the sign that rules peace and harmony, Libra. Similarly, "No Justice No Peace'" will become a battle cry for a social justice minded Scorpio Pluto generation (1984-1995), since Scorpio, ruled by Mars (or Pluto), seeks fights and conflict (unlike Pluto in Libra), but typically against social wrongs or injustices, especially against POC or Women.
If you begin to perceive that the Master's House as it were, or the power structure as it stands, which may be unethical, abusive, or unjust, uses the modality of words to dominate and subjugate, you may explore alternative means to express, as language is merely expression.
For example, let's look at some homonym poems.
"I write so when I'm wrong I'm still right, I fly words like planes the Wright brothers write?
This is nothing new you could have knew..."
"Laying in the grass watching the clouds float by, my mind wanders away as I smell that apple pie.
I've patiently waited for spring and..."
Is this wordplay not automatically reminiscent of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland? And of course, you can find that Lewis Carroll was an Aquarius.
Since it is usually the element of Earth that requires Bloqs, or conservative tools to speak on certain things, and Prismatism is an Aquarian religion, Prismatists have very little need, almost none, for Conservative logic.
Generally, it is the passive elements of Water and Earth that seek to socially engineer others, as their passive aggressive means of control. Hitler was double Earth, being a Taurus Sun and Capricorn Moon. The swastika is a symbol for the black sun, or Saturn, which rules Capricorn, Earth.
Are all 'North Koreans' 'fascists' because this one is? He forces them to conform, that's for sure. Are North Koreans a different 'race' than South Koreans?
Hồ Chí Minh was a Taurus, Lenin was a Taurus, Marx was a Taurus, Ferdinand Marcos was a Virgo, Pol Pot was a Taurus. Ivan the Terrible was a Virgo, Mao Zedong was a Capricorn. Kim Jong Un is a Capricorn. Those are all Earth Signs.
Alternately, Mahatma Gandhi, Confucius, Horatio Nelson, and Dwight Eisenhower were all Libras (Air).
Basically, Earth signs say "You need money! You need to will yourself to power!" While Air Signs say "You need to live in peace, you need to learn to love others."
Will and the inaction of will is the central tenet of Satanism, which could really be called Saturnism.
Jane Elliott designed an exercise in attempt to illustrate the detriments of prejudice. Deemed "Blue Eyes - Brown Eyes" Experiment, Elliott separated children by blue and brown eyes, and treated brown eyed children worse in a multitude of ways.
There are many problems with this experiment, and it is a clear example of social engineering. The presupposition 'Black and White people are actually equal but Black people are treated worse" is not equivalent to "Blue Eyed and Brown Eyed people are the same, and giving them arbitrary punishments or rewards is not different than how society treats race".
In Macrocosm, this flawed, entropic ideation of equality permeates social justice movements all over the country. Equality would be equal opportunity and recognition, not forced equal outcomes at the cost of any reason or logic. Do blue eyed or brown eyed people have separate culture? Does one or the other commit more crimes?
The subconscious desire by the passive community to socially engineer equality Prismatists call Equivity. Equivity is not Equality. Equivity is a stated or subconscious desire to do to the prevailing group what has been done to the subordinate group.
Since there have been times in history when Africans have been on top, Chinese have been on top, British have oppressed Irish, North Vietnamese have oppressed South Vietnamese, etc. etc. it is ideologically ludicrous and downright fascist to perceive anything that 'sticks it' to 'white' people to be inherently associated with progress. It's merely Equivity and state sanctioned fascism.
Understanding scale makes race pretty irrelevant. As of January 2024, The Han Chinese are the world's largest single ethnic group, constituting over 19% of the global population in 2011. Approximately 745,000,000 people in the world are non-Hispanic 'whites'.
Representing the most rare race on earth at 9.6%. And white populations are dwindling. If you think this is somehow a good thing, you are both racist and a eugenicist, so, congratulations.
White hegemony is not likely to last another 50 years by almost any metric. Someone call Tomi Lahren.
And speaking of young dictators, Neptune Capricorns, or people born 1984 until 1998, all have a little bit of fascist dictator in them, and for Prismatists this equates to the rise in desire to socially engineer like a miniature Mao for an entire generation of socialist college students. No shocker then, to realize that Tomi Lahren was born in 1992.
Action depends on meaning, and meaning can be altered. This is observable in the fact that almost everyone loves music, but not the same music, and, if you say "My plan in life is to become a musician" most people will scoff at the unlikeliness of you to achieve that goal.
'Gasoline' can be perceived as a necessary component of society to get to work and thus earn a car and more gas, therefore a candidate who raises gas prices can be considered a bad leader. Alternately, if a war is fought for the Petroleum that is used, the very seeking of Gas can be considered the evil act. Yet gas remains, unfeeling and as only an implement with no politics of its own. Race is what we project upon it, nothing more.
Prismatism is Symbolically Interactional by nature, and closer to Magma as a religion than Christianity. You must take the power away from oppressors who use language to limit your unfolding process and expression. The Metafestation wills it.
