“An
immense injustice is occurring at this time on Earth.
Many of those who stand against this injustice are
sitting in the torture caves of the military, police
and secret services. In this very moment there are
hundreds of thousands of people who suffer from the
most unspeakable pain there. All the same they continue.
It is this measure that we must apply to ourselves
when talking about global peace work today. Will the
victim’s screams continue to go unheard - or
will we create a world where there are no longer these
screams?“ |
With these introductory
words the author Dr. Dieter Duhm, sociologist und psychoanalyst,
starts his book „Die Heilige Matrix“ published
in German 2001, (“The Sacred Matrix” soon in
English). What follows thereafter are 12
chapters of clear text about the question what there is
to do to stop the global violence and to start a globalisation
of peace. As to come to a well-based
answer all sources of human knowledge are included, the
most modern insights from scientists, politics and sciences,
politics and history, from chaos research and holography,
religion or ecology. The result is a revelation.
Here writes a human being who
is, to say it with the words of the philosopher Karl Jaspers,
„originally shaken”.
He doesn’t spent much time with the analysis of the
current state: „I get along without a definition
of the evil. When I see how in Tshetshenia a civil population
is being bombed apart, how one throws hand grenades into
the last cellar caves in which ill people or very old people
could live I don’t need a definition of the evil.“
But all the more he needs and seeks a convincing answer
to the question how the global madness of violence in Tshetshenia,
or Palestine, whether in Europe or Latin America could be
ended. For this purpose he must leave behind his up-to-date
way of thinking, overcome the limits of normality, enter
unknown mental terrain by means of authentic experience
and look into what is really there: into the inside, into
the zones of our most intimate longing, into the outside,
into the reality surrounding us and its universal structures,
into our past with the raise of a violent, patriarch epoch,
into the future, into an ever more concrete vision of a
possible planetary peace culture. Who or what will decide
about whether the earth will end in a planetary Holocaust
or whether we will be able to effect a turn towards the
better? „The Archimedean
Point“, is the title of
one chapter and at the same time the essence of this book,
„is love.“
A humane world can only emerge
from an opened heart. But how can love be connected with
the political power of realisation? How can the relation
of the forces of violence and peace be changed in a way
that the set target of a violent-free earth appears reachable?
In precise thinking steps the mental yarns of the book are
picked up and composed to the “Political Theory”.
A path how the seemingly impossible could become possible
becomes visible/comprehensible. What is written down here
is High Tech for Peace. The great human kind dream of peace
could succeed today....

The Sacred Matrix
And forever the
sacred stream flows forth
in subterranean darkness.
Sometimes its music sparkles from its depths.
He who hears it senses that a secret is near,
he sees it flee, and wants to grasp it,
he burns with a longing for home,
for he senses Beauty.
Hermann Hesse
The Sacred Matrix is the matrix of life itself. It is present
in the blossoming of a tree, in the scent of a flower, in
the chirping of a bird, in the wallowing of a pig, and in
the blowing of the wind. It is present in the depths of
the oceans, in the folds of the mountains, in the river
valleys, and on the mountaintops of eternal silence. It
creates the structure of a crystal, a shell, or a dripstone
cave. It brings forth the germination of grain, the division
of cells, and the play of the galaxies. It sometimes peers
out, pure and clear, through the eyes of a baby. Sometimes
– in the most beautiful moments of love – it
reaches our heart. It is then that we are transformed for
a brief eternity and we know the goal of our journey.
We humans have a fine sense for the Sacred Matrix, and we
feel it in many things. We let ourselves be touched by it
in quiet spots, and we seek out certain places to be close
to it. There are special sounds in the winds of the soul
that touch us when we revisit the places of our childhood,
when we sit at the shore of a lake that is as smooth as
glass, when we watch the swells of the ocean as the sun
is setting, or when we see the dewdrops sparkling in the
morning. Here, very little has changed over the generations.
People still climb to solitary heights to watch the sun
rise from a mountain ledge, and they still look up at the
stars at night and connect with eternity. It is in the connection
itself that the sacred is revealed. People visit churches,
breathe the sacred air, hear the tones of the organs, and
enter into resonance with the Sacred Matrix.
Already as a child I sniffed at the apple blossoms and tried
to find out what kind of bliss this scent reminded me of.
I experienced the same thing again much later when I worked
in an orange plantation in Corsica. There was something
deeply familiar about this scent, and something infinitely
beautiful. It was like the anticipation of a life that encompasses
all of our longings, all fibers of our soul, and all our
human desires. My soul knew of this life, and it tried to
find it again from within. It tried to recognize it as precisely
as possible and, wherever possible, to realize it. Many
people have had such experiences, but only a few have had
the opportunity to follow them. What is here both hidden
and revealed is not only a dream or a yearning. It is a
reality, the reality of the Sacred Matrix. We would not
have this yearning, hear this sound of the sirens in our
soul, or have this irrefutable feeling of a deep memory,
if this reality did not exist.
The Sacred Matrix is the original, trans-historical, non-alienated,
cosmic, and divine matrix of universal life. According to
the plan of Creation for the human being, we are to realize
it on earth. It appeared to us when we were children and
when the candles were lit on the Christmas tree, it filled
us with the bliss of first love, and it sometimes crossed
our path at the edge of death. We can never leave it entirely,
for we are born of it. We have gone through eons with it,
and again and again we have seen it light up at the roadside
and the fences of our territory. We met it in the beyond
and we reconnected with it, so that we would never forget
it again when we returned to Earth. Yet we always forgot
it, and we have become so accustomed to forgetting that
it now seems only a distant dream to us. But will not this
earthly life that we are living here and now, and that seems
so absolutely real, one day, when we return to the beyond,
also seem like an unreal dream? Has not the game with the
many different realities become so familiar to us that we
can no longer see dreams as being only dreams? It is not
a dream, but a deep, deep memory that wells up inside of
us when we touch the Sacred, and this memory keeps re-creating
our yearning. For the sake of truth we cannot but find and
follow the content of this yearning in its entirety, for
the yearning that is recognized and not suppressed or sentimentalized
is the signpost that leads us to our sacred home.
What will the Sacred Matrix look like when it has been realized
among humans? There are many images, fragments, and partial
realizations that come from many different times and cultures.
Among them are Minoan Crete, the advanced archaic cultures
of pre-history, the era of the temples on Malta and the
remains of the original cultures of peace in Australia,
Tibet, Africa, and Latin America. It includes the Bishnoi
and the Muria in India – especially the Muria with
their facility called “Ghotuls”, a house for
children and youth with free, self-determined sexuality.
Various research also points in this direction: Margaret
Mead’s possibly biased findings about the indigenous
Samoan and Mountain Arapesh peoples, the reports by Jean
Liedloff about the Yequana Indians in the jungle of Venezuela,
and the stories by Dhyani Ywahoo about her people, the Tsalagi
Indians. Maybe it included the Queen of Sheba and the equally
legendary empire of the Hyperboreans, supposedly spanning
from Finland to Greenland (with the capital Thule) during
the second millennium B.C. Tradition speaks of a “golden
age”, and today we can assume that it truly did exist.
The Sacred Matrix has already been realized on earth. We
must find it again, but not by putting this mosaic back
together stone by stone. Instead we must enter into a state
of being in which it fulfills us, all by itself, and shows
us a vision of future society. It is the state of connectedness;
it is the universal state of being. The Sacred Matrix always
assembles itself by itself, as soon as our consciousness
resonates with the universal frequency. The more often we
are in this state, the more we can see, and the more the
world can reveal itself to us in the light of the Sacred
Matrix. It is the self-revelation of a real possible life
that is inherent in the human blueprint.
In this life there are no laws of fear, for there is no
fear. There is also no violence, for there is no resistance
to overcome. There is also no technology that is based on
overcoming resistances, for in the Sacred Matrix we receive
the necessary powers through resonance. There is no stealing
and no conquering, no unfulfilled hunger, and no consuming
needs, for we live on a planet of abundance. There is no
humiliation and no cruelty, for we are all beings of the
same Spirit and the same life. There are opposites, but
no contradictions; there are conflicts, but no wars, there
may at times be harshness, but not cruelty. There is no
religious disguising or glorification of evil, for evil
no longer exists. There are no longer any punishing male
gods, but also no female deities such as the Indian Kali,
the Greek Artemis or the Babylonian Inanna, wherein the
union of good and evil is celebrated. These deities all
arose during the patriarchal era, when the Sacred Matrix
had long ago been distorted by the greatest mistake in the
history of mankind. The icons of the Sacred Matrix, which
were created during the prehistoric era, no longer exist
or else they remain only as remnants. The deities from that
time live latently in the present, waiting for new cooperation
and resurrection.
While I am writing all this, the Sacred Matrix is operating
like a coordinating program in my cells, as an operator
in my thoughts, as a source of my vision. May it transfer
to the reader, so that we together can find the passion
and the power to bring it onto Earth.
