Globalism v. Tribalism

by Alexander Barrie(more info)

listed in chinese oriental medicine, originally published in issue 305 - September 2025

Perhaps more than ever, or at least within the present epoch, the division between those who favour total integration of the peoples of the world and those who favour restrictions to the full integration of the peoples of the world, requires the understanding of a fundamental law – a law that is dictated by the entrails of life and living. 

Understanding this basic law of life, will enable a balanced and an acceptable answer to the argument above, resolving in these global times, the means to establish harmony for this awkward polarity of views within the present world epoch.  Bearing in mind that all insular minded peoples’ of past times never ever considered the idea of human global integration. This present day conundrum of unification was then unheard-of, let alone thought about.

Actually, the answer is very simple to resolve once we have understood this fundamental/foundation principle about to be explained.  Even so, mankind as it is, is not quite ready for total integration because he/she has first to expunge or at least be able to control the evil impulse that is within all of us – the evil impulse that dictates that my group is better than your group and if my group could, it would like to eliminate or at least subjugate your group!  Interestingly, one’s own religion may dictate the need to remain nonaligned in this way.

Caption: Investigation into the workings behind astrological traditions required both a factual and an inspirational approach. Only a few men, like Paracelsus, understood that beneath the physical appearance of things lay an invisible but real world of cosmic law. This realization was based on direct experience and insight, as our print depicts, into the next world, that is the ever-present but subtle realm of existence which the soul inhabits. Such mystical appreciation confirmed that man possessed an organized body not unlike his carnal one, which was subject to planetary pressures. The dynamics of the sidereal body, as it was called, were studied in metaphysical astrology. (Scholar penetrating through the sky into the next world, engraving Swiss, c. 1500.)

This Fundamental Law Follows

(It may be thought of as esoteric, and it forms the foundation of the masculine and of the feminine in and of all phenomena material or abstract as regards to the whole of existence).

There was a time when man (God?) classed and notated everything as either masculine, or as feminine – this was/is indelibly stamped within our universal languages. Our own language of English cast-out this natural division under the Saxon kings long ago and in my opinion, it is much the poorer for that wantonness. It has left us insensitive to this natural celestial and terrestrial nuance – nouns and adjectives were given a masculine or a feminine gender classification.

My point being that the Masculine was given to the Solar influences on, and in us, and the Feminine was given to the Lunar influences on, and in us.

The Solar Masculine influences are broad and expansive and readily envisage the ‘bigger blue-sky vista’.  The Feminine influences are more narrow and cohesive and concerned about the here and the now, and food on the table.

We may already see the connection here with those who envisage the ideal of fewer divisions of mankind enjoying diversity, as opposed to the alarming possibility of the immovable stubbornness within a given clan or nation unable to envisage or accept anything outside of their group/clan habits and culture.

A pause for thought at this juncture in recognising the essence of the meaning of the Chinese way of seeing the world as with the interplay of Yin and Yang:

Masculine forces are centrifugal (spinning outwards) YANG and Solar:  This is Heaven’s puissance as may be perceived as such within the contents of the Bible and within Scripture.  Its energy is all embracing, shedding light and inspiration everywhere and galvanises all things,  but often without discrimination, that may lead to unwise and out-of-control circumstances.

Feminine forces are centripetal (swirling inwards) YIN and Lunar:  This is Earth’s puissance as may be perceived as such within the contents of the Bible and within Scripture. It means containment and restrictive laws to keep families, and families of peoples’ together, to enable cohesion and a semblance of civic stability, but this may also lead to insularity and ignorance.

What matters ultimately is a wholesome balance of the influences of Sun (Yang) and Moon (Yin) whereby ‘big sky thinking’  (Solar) and mundane practical matters (Lunar) are equally respected such that, for example:

Charity given abroad to the detriment of the native population is so reckless that those officials in charge of this way of dealing with resources, if to be respected, first have to take into the consideration the needs and the importance of the native peoples.  This ‘home’ consideration must be implemented well before seeing to the needs of other different groups and of other nations.  It is essential to adhere to the meaning of the saying: ‘Charity begins at home’. 

If such is abused, violent revolutions manifest when these basic LAWS outlined above are flouted.  The modern mind of the average politician, is seemingly devoid in understanding the basic needs of the existing group before it gives greater favour to different but alien group.

Even so, it is interesting to consider that, in 500 years’ time, give or take a hundred years this way or that, if mankind still obtains, then he/she will be coffee coloured with a slight epicanthic-fold (East Asian) of the inner eye confirming the integration and intermarriage of all peoples’ of the world.  It maybe man’s destiny and God’s purpose.  

This idea is probably anathema to some people, but perhaps inevitable considering the evolution of the populations of the globe.  Of course it means that over several generations, it has become acceptable even to the most ardent group to remain unadulterated, to intermarry.  Sun and Moon will indeed be with union!

Other instances of the expansive viewpoint (Yang Solar) that sees the bigger picture, that is, the extreme inspired intelligence of blue-sky thinking, as opposed to the contractive viewpoint (Yin Lunar) that requires adherence to the mundane and to the temporal of living existence:

An excellent example that we may all relate to is as follows:  Certainly up to the 1950s it was normal for the breadwinner to be the husband and that included the management of wife and family, and seeing to the heavier chores of maintenance around and about the residence and, being aware naturally as to what was happening in the world around him both domestic and foreign.  This enabled him to steer the family away from danger whether financial or accident/incident.  This form of energetics is/was Solar and Yang.

Stability and restoration were/are the duties of the wife for the whole family. 

In that the Queen of the home is the lady wife giving succour to children and husband (Lunar and Yin).  It is his needed compensation for earning his living in the brutal external unpredictable world in which he is ensconced occupation-wise.  Even so, without his input, the home becomes too insular, turning-in on itself and fearful. Without her input, he becomes unpredictable and is pulled in any direction according to the whims of the moment – too many interests outside the home.  His energy being centrifugal and often without proper purpose as explained above.

Remember, She (Lunar/Yin) is naturally centripetal and gravitational in her actions and her behaviour; without His (Solar/Yang) energetic input – without his energetics which are his natural tendency in expanding outwardly and centrifugally into the world, She would turn (centripetally) inwards, in that She would trust no-one; She will be suspicious and fearful of things, fearful of events, especially those outside of the home. 

Both Male and Female give balance each with the other in actions and in behaviour. On a greater scale, this is true for all events, all happenings, indeed all of life no matter what subject or object.  In modern times we have forgotten the Heavenly influences to lift us up  and into the higher echelons of thinking and feeling (Solar/Yang).  At this epoch in time, we are lodged within a destructive gravitational centripetal ethos (Lunar/Yin) that is driving us into madness of a sort that generates a mania towards overwhelming information - information  mostly engendering confusion, unhappiness and hate within us all.
