We must stop declaring that what is currently happening in the United States “Is not normal.” Not only is what is happening here in the US today common occurrence in the overwhelming majority of nations around the world, the recent and current atrocities we are experiencing within our own boarders are simply just the latest symptom of an age-old cause that has actually existed here since before the ink on our Constitution was dry.
Since the 2-million-year end of our egalitarian hunter-gatherer existence, our most recent 120 centuries of history has been witness to the unfathomable cruelty that the Animal Mind of the male ego has and continues to inflict upon women, the environment, and especially upon one another. From the immeasurable bloodlust of endless wars and genocides to brutal and merciless torture, murder, rape, slavery, tyranny, oppression, abuse, discrimination and injustice, all that ever changes are the geo-socio human landscapes. How can anyone with a straight face say that this is not normal?
Profuse lethal bleeding is the normal condition of a severed artery. Generation after generation, century after century, humanity has wailed in outrage at the bleeding; slapping band aids on the artery to bring back the normalcy. Until eventually, the band aid succumbs. The profuse lethal bleeding ensues, and once again, it is not normal.
It is a cycle that repeats itself endlessly in our collective histories. Like illness, disease or alcoholism, until we are no longer in denial or ignorant of the actual cause (severed artery), injurious symptoms (bleeding) will remain the normal condition.
In the reverse polarity of truth, what TFI has identified as the male ego Animal Minds Image of Reality, the severed artery is simply the normal human condition or natural order. It is only the bleeding that is not normal and needs to be addressed. This ensures that the male ego Animal Mind will always prevail and its survival guaranteed. There are only two ways to break this endless cycle; one, we finally succumb to our own self-destruction, or two, we collectively identify what is really and truly NOT normal.
What is not normal is the paradigm we all call the human condition, the natural order itself. That this is just naturally who and what humans are, with some of us just worse than others (keep those band aids on hand). It is a fallacy that the male ego Animal Mind has spent 120 centuries fortifying. TFI identifies three central cornerstones of accepted human origin fallacies that have successfully codified the Animal Mind Image of Reality.
One is Religion; the monotheistic doctrine of creator-overseer. This Image removes our personal accountability to our actions and our motives and places it on a masculine supreme being who bestows our rewards and punishments
after we die. Earth is of no consequence and is but a temporal existence of inevitable suffering. Relief in life and salvation in death can only be sought from the masculine supreme being. Eighty-five percent of humanity identifies with at least one religious doctrine. The impact of the relatively brief history of world religions to present-day on the human collective run the spectrum from personally benign to globally catastrophic.
The second is the theory of the human animal. This Image is the false equivalent that humans are simply an “evolved animal,” and human behavior is at its core, founded upon and driven by primal animal instincts; a beast within us all, kept at bay by some and released by others.
The human body’s physiological functions of male-female, breathing-sleeping, eating-excreting, and procreating may be parallel to mammals. But human consciousness of self-awareness, choice, will, creation, destruction, love and hate is to the molecular genetic DNA of animal instinct, as the primeval concept of the wheel is to the first rocket landing on the moon. The fictitious conviction they are the same only continues to sever every human being from the endowment and capacity of their true natures.
Finally, the third cornerstone of the Animal Mind Image of Reality is the flawed consensus among social scientists on the sociological origins of human behavior. They contend our present core human instincts and social behaviors were fundamentally adapted from the early hominids that existed for 2-million-years as Egalitarian Mobile Band Societies, with Homosapiens emerging during the last 300,000 years of that period. This is absurd and even laughable.
Egalitarian is defined as “relating to or believing in the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities,” or “believing that all people are equally important and should have the same rights and opportunities in life.” Who among us sees any evidence in our recorded human history of anything close to Egalitarian? Laughable and absurd as it is, this third cornerstone is the final nail in the coffin of the Animal Mind’s Image of Reality.
TFI posits that our primal human behavior demonstrated today was modeled from and has changed little since the Agrarian Neolithic Stationary period; approximately 12,000 years ago. Humans came into the Neolithic Stationary society with 2 million years of survival instincts honed into the fabric of our DNA as Egalitarian Mobile Band Hunter-Gatherers. The ancient Band society’s survival relied solely on physiology, and the parameters of our physiology determined our most effectual contributions to the Band. Capable contribution was equally required and, above all, equally revered and valued.
The childbearing and feeding physiology of the ancient female kept her naturally close to the Band and camps. This advanced acute acumen in resource management and allocation, socialization, communication, settling of disputes, etiquette and ritual. The greater strength and mobility of the ancient male provided acute agility for successful defense against fierce predators, and successful domination of often equally fierce prey in the hunt. This advanced acute faculties in rapid response, strategy, weapons crafting, and converting crippling fear into a formidable adrenaline force.
As humanity emerged into the Neolithic Agrarian Stationary society, for the human female, this transition was a nearly seamless and natural progression. The hearth had just gotten a whole lot bigger, and her 2 million years of genetic characteristics were exquisitely suited. For the human male however, where would 2 million years of their genetic instincts be needed in the Neolithic period when fencing, walls and structures eventually took the place of defense against predators; when the breeding of animals for food eventually took the place of the hunt?
The inherent characteristics of the ancient Egalitarian Hunter-gather human male could have lended themselves well to strategies in engineering, invention, and construction of critical infrastructure required for the needs of the new Stationary society. But these did not satisfy an adrenaline addiction established over 2 million years. With no more need to fight and dominate predators in defense of the Band, or to fight and dominate prey in the quest of the hunt, they soon turned on one another to fight, and on the female and the public and private hearth to dominate. Egalitarianism, the foundations of our true human condition, the true natural order, was dead. The Animal Mind of the male ego was born. The rest is history.
In a recent CNN Jack Tapper interview (1/15/26) with Steven Miller, close advisor to the US President and also known to have tentacles of influence in every degenerate agenda of Trump’s Administration and Congress said, “We live In a world, in the real world… that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power,” and called these “the iron laws of the world.”
The absolute lack of compassion, cooperation, compromise and community that we would normally associate with the twisted sadistic mind of a serial killer, is in fact the twisted sadistic Animal Mind of the male ego, and humanity has been suffering under its brutal thumb for nearly 12,000 years. This, my friends, is the human condition. This is the natural order. This is normal.
Until men and women of Human Mind coalesce to come out of denial and acknowledge that what is truly not normal is the dominant and heartless Animal Mind of the male ego, we will continue to endure the normal symptoms of its depravity.
This is the Female Imperative.
