DANGEROUS HISTORICAL MECHANICAL CULTURES - MAY A GOOD RELIGION NOT FALL INTO THIS CRIMINALITY! By Professor Dr. Tan Man-Ho (An excerpt from the original work, Real World Views, Book 10, by Professor Dr. Tan Man-Ho entitled "Uncovering the New Dimensions of Our Social Being, The Enneagram Summary, Special Exercises and Mathematical Being," January 1978 - January 1979 Discourses, Chapter 2, Section I: "Dangerous Historical Mechanical Cultures - May a Good Religion Not Fall into this Criminality!" pp. 54 ~ 61)
A.
DANGEROUS HISTORICAL MECHANICAL CULTURES – MAY A GOOD RELIGION NOT FALL INTO
THIS CRIMINALITY 1
There
are critical examples of dangerous, harmful and criminal mechanical cultures
practiced by ancient and contemporary human beings. Mechanically obeyed culture of
having fixed
period of fasting, Sunday-Go-Church or Friday-Go-Mosque and many more
cultural practices of fixation have put one in deep mechanical sleep and in
invisible spiritual chains. It can even throw a once great ‘civilization’ into a
backward cultural tribe that may have to strive on hard legal instrument and
terrorism to survive. The small harmless silly cultural practices
indicate the deep mechanical sleep in man. However, some have become very
dangerous historical (now extinct) mechanical culture of monsters and are truly horrible
and may be called a crime against humanity in modern paradigm! 1. Feet-binding (FB)
The outlawed ancient Chinese culture of Feet-Binding (FB). This
started as a custom in China in the 10th
century and stopped in the early 20th
century. Girls’ from 6 years of age or younger, girls' feet were bound
inwards to inhibit regular growth. Bones, would later be crushed so
the feet could be reshaped. Consequently, bound feet were supposed to
eventually be not more than 4-6 inches or 10-15 cm. This is the main
reason for the disability (inability to walk) amongst very old Chinese women
today. Procedures: 1) Soak feet in a mixture of Chinese herbal
medicine and animal blood, relaxing the muscles and rendering them easily
shaped. 2) Remove toe nails to avoid subsequent infections. All
these are preparatory steps for the real foot binding. 3) To shape the
feet, a silk or cotton bandage, 2 inches wide and 10 feet long, was soaked
in the same mixture as in a) above 4) Feet are bound in these
bandages, which were gradually tightened until they could be pulled to the
heel of the foot. 5) Shoes were custom made to fit these small feet. 2. Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
The
Pre-Islamic and Islamic culture of Female Genital mutilation (FGM) is
practiced on victimized females without questioning or not allowed to be
questioned by Hasnamussian male criminals and blind female assistants who
might be committing crimes against humanity under pretext of teaching the
seemingly good, which is actually bad. It sounds like a harmless
culture but the consequences are devastating.
Where FGM is a social convention (social norm),
the social pressure to conform to what others do and have been doing, as
well as the need to be accepted socially and the fear of being rejected by
the community, are strong motivations to perpetuate the practice. In some
communities, FGM is almost universally performed and unquestioned.
3. Live Mummification (LM)
Self authorized
death process for Buddhist Monks, It is said that a “Sokushinbutsu” is a
monk who died through a special, natural process, which we call Live
Mummification. This process reportedly only takes place in the city of
Yamagata in Northern Japan. 16-24 such mummies have been found.
Monks turning themselves in to mummies would follow a strict diet of only
nuts and seeds to reduce body fat. Three years later, they would only eat
barks and roots of trees and drink poisonous saps from certain trees (in
special bowls coated with paint). This continues for another 3 years. This
dietary regime makes them vomit often, sharply reducing the percentage body
fluid and also preventing the growth of maggots; hence preserving their
bodies after they die. Just before death, they fit themselves in a
tight-fitting hole that shapes their bodies into the shape of a lotus; the
only contact with the outside world is a bell and an air tube. The dying
monk rings the bell daily to let others know he is still alive. The day the
bell stops ringing, others would remove the air tube, seal the hole, thus
entombing the monk. 4. Eunuchs
To perform special duties in society, special males were produced — we
call them eunuchs. They have since been a special sector of society. This
practice originated in the Hsu Dynasty. Not only was it a means of
punishment but also a means to obtain a post to serve the Emperor.
The number of eunuchs in the late Ming Dynasty amounted to about 70,000.
The benefit of being an eunuch was the chance of obtaining supreme power —
sometimes over and above that of the emperor, although self-mutilation to
become a eunuch was illegal. The practice was stopped in 1912 and the
number of eunuchs dropped to 470. Those Eunuchs who were delivered
around puberty needed to go through many types of training and to preserve
their child-like voice. Many of the children chosen had high pitched voices
and were lively and adaptable. These children were chosen before they had
any sexual urges and care was taken to ensure that their voices remained
child-like afterwards. 5. Live Burials
Some ancient
civilizations offer live human as sacrifices to the gods for power and
privileges. Both the Maya and Aztec cultures were notorious for this
practice and were hailed as the originators of this rite. Victims such as
prisoners, babies or virgins were burnt, beheaded or buried alive to please
the gods or calm departed spirits. This practice gradually disappeared with
time and is very rare today as most religions condemn it and the governments
consider it a crime. Still, it is practiced in some undeveloped regions
where tradition is strictly followed. 6. Sacrificial Burials and Burning
Sacrificial burial
has been a custom in India, not often practiced today. In fact, it is
considered as a form of serious crime. In this ceremony, the widow would
express her devotion to the husband and commit suicide by jumping into the
fire at the funeral. These widows supposedly did it voluntarily, although
in certain societies, societal pressures forced them to volunteer their own
suicides. Heated debate on this issue has been going on in the modern-day
society. Generally, these widows, especially the childless ones, lose all
hope after their husbands die; hence the willingness to die with the
husband. However, modern Indian women are making effort to prevent
this from happening. 7. Life and Death Duels
Duals took place in Western culture mostly from the 15th
to the 20th
century. Guided by mutually agreed upon rules, dueling parties would fight
for honor with lethal weapons and in the presence of trusted friends as
witnesses (sometimes without). This was considered to be illegal. Usually,
the person initiating the dual wanted to defend his honor on certain issues,
with the intention of being satisfied rather than killing the other party.
He would risk his life just to regain his honor. At first, only
swords were used but since the 18th
century, people started using guns. In order to win, noblemen would hire
the finest craftsmen to make the weapons chosen for use. After the
dual, the satisfied party would always throw a party to celebrate but some
people would try to express insults by throwing gloves at them. 8. Hara-Kiri
Samurais might also slash their stomachs out of obedience to their leader
(usually a dictator). Subsequently, some samurais being insulted would also
slash their stomachs to avoid being killed by enemies.. Hara-kiri is also
practiced by samurais without prior permission to do so in order to protect
or regain their honor. Female samurais however, must have prior permission
before they can do so. After bathing himself, the samurai would put on
a white robe, eat a favorite meal, and put his documents on a plate. He
would be dressed in traditional Japanese custom, hold his saber in front of
him; sometimes he would sit on a piece of special cloth and he would also
have a will ready. The samurai’s assistant (chosen by him to take care
of his body) would stand behind him while the samurai: a) Opens his
robe b) Holds up his saber and pierces right into his stomach c) The
saber would enter from the left side, going to the right d) The helper
would immediately sever his head after he pierces himself with the saber to
avoid prolonged suffering. These are only some now extinct historical examples
of the horrors of culturing wrong psyche hydrogens in our minds! 9. Sacrificial Terror Suicide-Bombing
These
are the latest sacrificial offering to explode oneself to inflict terror to
innocent harmless masses so as to get the world to submit to the wish of the
perverted few who are mentally sick in a wrong belief about their own inner
weakness. This type of sacrifice tends to originate from a religion
known as Islam is currently one of the greatest crime against humanity. It
has no heroic indication but a terror force against the world for submission
to a few religious-political perverts wielding the sword of a religion to
shut the mouths of the world irrespective of right and wrong practice of
theirs. However, this suicide bombings exist earlier in the
Vietnam war when fighters attached and plant bombs in their body so that
they can kill themselves and if possible their enemy after being caught by
the enemy during a battle. It is also the method used by the imperial
army pilots of Japan during the WW2 when pilots crash their planes on enemy
targets during a battle. There are heroic deeds in war as it is
not directed against innocents and are war-linked methodology!

Beware
of spiritual yoke that might yoke your existing being to a lower being and
bless is you who have yoked with a higher being. Those who are not
afraid to sacrifice for a good cause his own life and the lives of others
are may not be a martyr. His action is divided by his decision between a
strong value in one direction and an equally or stronger value in an
opposite direction. If he is old, he cannot live any longer he is happy to
die and he recognizes the voice of his own death. He therefore chooses
martyrdom. 3 One must learn to be positive in being- states. So long as one remains incapable of becoming positive, one will remain negative and in being-negativeness nothing positive can be realized, and one is mechanically trapped in this negative cultural state of living. 4
Different practices and events organizing placed in different time - so also is ‘ceremonies’.
Objectively, 'marriage' is like every other thing. There is nothing grand
about it. Subjectively, many a psyche perceives it in a wrong way. After
the 2 1/2
hour ‘ceremony’ so what?
