Acronyms and gloss
SPEC – Socio-Politic-Economic-Cultural-Civil.
Sarala– a Sanskrit term- root “sr” means - to flow or to move. Cultural context – in Rigveda, Mahabharatha and Ramayana the term represents righteousness and sincerity. It means straight, honest, sincere, candid or simple.
A personal clarification of krow
The krow declares that his thoughts and works - including this reflection - are neither reactive nor transgressive toward the active Socio-Politic-Economic-Cultural-Civil (SPEC) systems in the world. He acknowledges these systems as the primary architects of the world, despite their inherent destructive patterns and contradictions. That is to say a world that is decaying in an almost tragic way, creating uncertainty, with numerous human victims and ecological imbalances, right at the hands of its creators. The krow’s vision is adamantly not anarchist, antisocial, or antipolitical; instead, it is necessarily rooted in the political theory and practice of Complementary Humanism.
No Revolution is Waiting
The text offers no easy hope, no five-point plan, no revolutionary manifesto. It offers instead a diagnosis and a direction: the trap is real, and the way out is not through the trap but alongside it, in the quiet cultivation of what is real.
The gist of reflection 03
Krow reflects on a "naked" and “sarala” human existence, devoid of historical sagas and systemic atrocities. While virtuous narratives of good and evil aim to prevent chaos through moral models, they inadvertently create habitual and unconscious "free slaves." This duality pits the natural self against an artificial ideal, triggering internal psychological strife that inevitably escalates into radical collective warfare fought in the name of righteousness.
The living Innocence – “sarala man”
The "natural state" of an individual is not an unchanged petrified quality, asserts krow, thus, isn't something one simply possesses; it’s something one has to protect or rediscover through hardship. Thus, the “sarala natural human” is defined by their dynamic curiosity rather than their convictions. They value what is tangible (bread, a garden, a sheep) over what is abstract (prestige-power, wealth-power, politics-power, or SPEC systems). They see through the veneer of the system to the pulse of the living world. The sarala natural man realizes that peace isn't found in conquering the world politically (SPEC system), but in tending to a small, tangible piece of it. It is the shift from Macro-ambition to Micro-authenticity. Natural man or “sarala man” (“sarala” means in Sanskrit- straight, honest, sine-cera, unsophisticated) is a sovereign individual who is in the world without separating from the world or alienating from the world with SPEC systems.
The Archetypes of the Disarmed, puppet “Serial Man”
In each, the Krow observed the same tragedy: the SPEC system had replaced sarala man’s innate, natural fear - the semper vigilantes - with a synthetic anxiety. In this regard, to clarify the point, krow recalls three characters who reminded him of: Voltaire's Candide, Rousseau’s Emile and the adults in the story The Little Prince. Candide did not fear the bayonet because he was told it was part of a 'necessary' plan; Emile did not fear the loss of his soul because he was taught to value his 'citizen' status; the Little Prince's adults did not fear their own emptiness because they had a title to protect. They were no longer humans navigating a landscape of survival; they were biological assets navigating a maze of definitions.
Krow's diagnosis is that each of these is a form of disarmament. The natural fear that should keep people vigilant, that should alert them to genuine danger, has been replaced by a "synthetic anxiety" about status, shame, and belonging. They no longer fear the wolf at the door; they fear the tweet that might go viral. People no longer fear starvation; they fear being seen as unsuccessful.
The Harvesting of Consent from domesticated serial man
In the state of “sarala nature”, the sarala man’s power is direct; it is the power to act, to defend, and to provide. The SPEC system, however, requires this power to be delegated. By convincing the individual that their only legitimate power exists within a pre-defined vote, the SPEC system effectively "disarms" the Natural Man. He no longer acts for himself; he waits for a representative to act for him. In this way, the artificially imposed “serial domesticated status” of the puppet-man become definitively established.
This domesticated serial man becomes dependent by definition, without any power to decide or defend himself directly for example in case of physical threat, except through agreed upon written law and a lawyer and other related SPEC authorities, which are direct representatives of the SPEC system. The SPEC system creates a "State of Culture-civilization" where the child’s “natural fear” of physical danger is traded for fear of “social shame”. The system domesticates the person by teaching him/her that his/her value is not in his/her strength or survival, but in his/her utility to the collective (SPEC system). His/her freedom is a calculated leash; he/she is "specialized" into a serial citizen, a cog that deludes itself that chose its own rotation.
In this status, asserts the krow, everything is determined and prescribed in the drama's general plot and in specific plots (SPEC system). There are predetermined positions and careers, scrupulously established hierarchies, winners, losers, rewards, punishments, shame, contempt, satisfaction, frustration, and the air of unattainable successes. Everyone in the series follows these plans, willingly or unwillingly. If one does not want all this torment, one should rediscover one's natural self and return to the root.
The Democratic Trap: The Illusion of the serial man
The krow tilted its head, observing the frantic ritual of the "ballot." It saw the SPEC system’s most brilliant manoeuvre: the Democratic Trap. While the theories, the Krow hissed, position the common man as the central decision-maker, the reality is a closed circuit. The system remains the center, governed by an elite that harvests the serial 'power-giver' like a crop.
In the state of sarala nature, the sarala natural Man’s power is direct; it is the power to act, to defend, and to provide. The SPEC system, however, requires this power to be delegated. By convincing the serial individual that their only legitimate power exists within a pre-defined vote, the SPEC system effectively "disarms" the Natural Man. He no longer acts for himself; he waits for a representative to act for him.
In Democratic systems the voter is fed an "Optimistic Rhetoric." He believes he is choosing the "best of all possible worlds," failing to see that both choices are merely different corridors leading to the same SPEC furnace.
The serial voter is socialized to believe that his "duty" to the state is his highest form of freedom. The SPEC system uses his education to turn his natural survival instinct into a "civic duty," making him willing to risk his life for an abstract "imposed ideal" rather than his own immediate reality (for example, in American films there are protagonists belonging to a humble social class who are proudly ready to sacrifice their lives to save the president). Further, the SPEC system turns the "voting power" into a game of numbers. The common serial man becomes obsessed with the percentage of the win, forgetting the essence of the life he is signing away.
The Strategic Inversion
The krow realized the cruelty of the design: The democratic system is a heat-sink for revolution. By offering a "choice" every few years, the SPEC system releases the pressure of the Natural Man’s frustration. It gives the domesticated human the feeling of sovereignty without the substance of it. The "Power Giver" is excluded from the power itself the moment the vote is cast. "It is a strategic trap," the Krow concluded. The SPEC system does not fear the voter; it fears the “sarala natural Man”. The voter is a domesticated serial unit within the hierarchy; the “sarala natural man” is a wild variable that cannot be 'bred' for manual labour or ideological procreation.
An open end to 3.1
The Greatest possible Revolution: Reclaiming the Garden
The Krow looked down at the sprawling SPEC architecture - the glass towers and the voting booths - and saw them for what they were: energy harvesters. To remain “sarala and natural" in such a grid, one cannot simply reform the system; one must become invisible to it. The krow observes that if the citizenry and the ballot are the traps of the "State of Culture-Civilization" then the "Garden" is the safe house of the "sarala state of nature." So, it is not about who governs but about who can be without governance.
The Terra Firma as a Fortress
The Krow recalled sarala human natural olden days. He suggests as a solution for these traps the human autonomy without reacting to or trying to change SPEC systems with street fighting, damaging and killings. The krow affirms that each individual is a dynamic and unique world. Each has its own value in being in the world until the end of the transformation of form.
After the clear realization that SPEC systems are chewing the voter up through conflicts, war, dogma and rhetoric, sarala man has to abandon the intension to conquer the SPEC system.
Man has to retreat and start to cultivate his own land (talent). Consequently, the serialized man can gradually reach his sarala natural energy and life in the flux (be here and now). Tending the soil is a primal reclamation of the sarala semper vigilantes. The krow affirms, thus, that man is no longer waiting for a specialized official to feed him; he is securing his own survival. The garden (talent) is the only place where the sarala natural man is truly the center.
The ultimate Revolution – The Return to the Essential
The Krow saw that the sarala natural man must learn to "recover" things again. To create a bond with a plant or a cow is to engage in a mutually respectful relationship that the SPEC system cannot quantify or tax. This is the ultimate rebellion: valuing what is "invisible to the eye" in a system that only recognizes what can be measured.
The Sovereign Hand
The Krow observed for years how the modern domesticated serial man, their hands softened by screens and their minds clouded by relative ideologies. Serialized domesticated humans fear the physical world because they no longer know how to interact with it without a SPEC-provided interface. Learning a craft such as farming, carpentry, building - re-arms the individual. When man can provide for his own needs as far as possible, the "Democratic Trap" loses its bait. Human beings do not need to risk their life for the system's ideals when they have the skills to sustain their own life.
What would it mean to take Krow seriously? Not as a political program - krow explicitly rejects that path. Not as a rejection of society - krow affirms that the sarala man is "in the world without separating from the world." But as a personal orientation, a way of being within SPEC systems while remaining undetermined by them.
Finally, the Krow spread its wings, ready to leave the SPEC perimeter behind. The sarala natural man is not a primitive relic of the past, it cawed to the wind. He is the future survivor.
