The existence of tribalism has been around and will continue to be around as long a life exists.  Now to tackle my viewpoint and understanding of this very relevant topic there is much more you need to research on your own long after you read this small article.  I am one person, with one view point, basing my knowledge on the study of how people and animals respond in a real world environment.  So, the views expressed below are simply my assessment from countless hours of watching human responses in this zoo we call Earth.

Please read this entirely and if I have made any suggestions or comments that you feel need further explanation, please e-mail me at the contact form at the top of this page, and I will do my best to further dissect the information, and if needs be update this post for future readers.  So…here we go

Slaves to societal suggestion, players in a game designed to divide, leaders from different groups convincing you to join their team, identity politics, social justice warriors given prime-time attention, political systems designed not to serve the “Greater Good” of all mankind.
The GAME: Tribal Warfare.
The PLAYERS: 95% of the connected population (those who have access to media, internet, etc…)
The STATUS of this game: Absolute Division among majority of the players.
The PURPOSE of this game: Create Division among majority of the players.
The TRAJECTORY of this game: a world divided – socially – economically – politically (both internally and externally).
The ULTIMATE GOAL: 1) complete breakdown of the family unit, 2) divided unity with in all tribal groups, 3) blurred concepts, ideals, and visions for any future generation. 4) Systematic programming within majority of educational institutes 5) Total collapse of any working system in order to stimulate chaos as there is no where left to turn for truth.
The SOLUTION: Wake the F*ck up and remember its a game, the rules are not set up in your favor, the deck is stacked, and a community around the greater good is the only society worth living in. Tribes will always exist. Today we laugh at history – looking at old photos/paintings of Native Americans fighting for tribal dominance – yet we think modern society no longer does this. If you belong to the 95% and actually believe we are not at war with each other and ideas in general (my side is the right side and your side is bullshit) or (my group is right and your group is a bunch of Nazis) then you are a person that needs this. —-> Turn of the idiot boxes in your living room, re-visit the foundation of life in general, remember your ideals your view points, your education, your traditions (AND THEN REMIND YOURSELF – why you hold these in value). Furthermore, the person next to you, across the street, in the next state, and overseas is going to have an entirely different set of values that you hold sacred.
SO why all this divide in America, and abroad? The answer is simple, it is much easier to control a population of divided groups then it is to manipulate, control, or win-over, a body of people united for one cause only, and this the GREAT GOOD for which I speak.
You are not going to have everything your way, and I will not have everything mine. Once you realize that the GAME our world is playing today…tells you that you can be a winner – they are playing you as a fool. (of the 95% of connected folks out there less than 10% – step away from the game). When you realize there is no tribe to belong to life begins to take on a different view. You stop battling over, gay and strait, black or white, male or female, republican or democrat – you realize that game is all smoke and mirrors – keeping people in a perpetual circle that goes nowhere.
To change the way you see the world, and the way the world sees you, is to remember how original you are, and more importantly how original everything is.

The solution to ending “Tribalism” is to not play the game as the rules are set out in our world today – but more importantly generating an understanding of Major Do’s and Don’ts as a person matures throughout the years. So… what I am saying here is this:

#1 The way OUT of “Tribal Warfare” or Tribalistic type thinking is to NOT avoid being part of a tribe.  I know that sounds contradictory to what I have been saying be hear me out.  The cycles in life simply start when we are born as a vulnerable baby completely dependent on others to take care of us for all the basic needs.  Then as we mature over the next several years, we land around the age of 7 to 9 years old, and we begin to discover groups within our classmates and the neighborhood around us. Groups like the nerds, the jocks, the cool kids, the rich kids, the skaters, the bad boys etc… (this also applies to young woman as well… Nerds, cheerleaders, the glamour girls, the shy/quiet, and also the potential mean girls or mysterious ones).  So at this young age we are trying to find our place of belonging so we will pick a tribe (group) that seems to go along more with the way we are at the time of our choosing and we must also be socially accepted into this tribe from the folks who are already “in”.  But when we finally do find our tribe of friends a piece of our character becomes energized over the fact that we are not alone, and that there are others just like us who share similar interest and values. BUT BUT BUT, is that where the story ends?  For some  (no matter what their age – teens – young adults- middle aged and so on) this maybe so.  However, for the many others, that is not where the story ends, as even though they are now part of this tribal group they now make the move to:

#2 Dare to be seen, and differentiate themselves from the tribe they belong to, but AT THE SAME TIME being mindful of knowing how to behave respectively within the boundaries/customary practices of that tribe.  This process of standing out, in fact, being yourself while still remaining loyal to your team is  defined simply as: Self-Individualism.   Where the confusion usually takes place is due to the greater visuals you must need to picture – in order to fully play out the steps I write and speak about – concerning this topic, whereas you must understand that in order to socialize you have to partake or be a member of a group.  This allows the others around you to witness the value being shared;  they may see you, hear you,  but more importantly they need to know you can successfully play on a team, while boosting moral and loyalty.  And the phase that many will attempt, but most will often surrender to is that final step we just said:

#3 Self-Identity (Individualism).  There is so much to be said about tribal behavior and why it will always exist and stay prominent within our main-stream sectors today; but the true end of Tribalism is when individuals within these “tribes or groups” can work within the framework of these organizations but at the same time project their own view-points (which develops and sustains their true self-identity)  Tribalism becomes dangerous when it only consists of group members that have no individualistic points of view – these folks  agree wholeheartedly with everything the tribe has boxed in and prepared for these group members to just memorize and repeat. The most common defect of tribal groups in this capacity is that if/when then hit a road-block and their motives and message begin to shift from their original purpose (disagreement/argument/debate) the world stage audience along with their opposition begin to rewrite the entire dialogue of which the original issue becomes replaced by subsequent small talk and eventually group character assassination.  So to be very, very clear…. when I say Tribalism I don’t mean it as a bad thing as long as there are vocal participants within these groups that are self-aware of their positions whist working within their group to make it better – more refined and upgraded.   A tribal group bent on making sure they have an internal auto-upgrading system that betters itself when they are presented with improved ideas is one worth fight for.  Still, to have a tribe like this, you must have open ends of dialogue frequently – outside and within the bordering frame of your crew.

More people are waking up to the idea that “Santa Claus” isn’t real anymore, and that the more you peel away the layers of nonsense, and see that all of us are just trying to get from here to there in our lives – you begin to see we are not that different at all. At the core of human existence is an energy (some may call it a soul – I don’t know what it is..) and within that energy that is the universe just playing out a role for a short time. The greatest trick this world has manifested is creating a distraction from this core of energy that makes us Human.
At the end of the day, what you do, who you are, what you think, and how you act – is just a ball of energy (taking on a particular form) to dance in this game we call life. You don’t own anything, you don’t have the right to control someone’s thoughts, and most importantly joining a “TRIBE” will only massage the feeling of belonging for a short time, until you realize that the tribe was only united around 1 focus and everything else they do is complete rubbish in your mind.
And I will finish with this…. You can’t control the circumstances for which you were born into, however; you can control the outcome of who you become and what you bring about in your life story through the decisions you make every day. **THIS IS KEY—> “The decisions YOU make…not what others tell you to make, or convince you to make** This is your life, your world, your energy…and your game. How attentive and focused your are in this game is up to you.

Namaste everyone ????
