Who’s This Blog For?

February 23rd, 2010 · No Comments

It may be obvious, but in case it isn’t the main reason for this blog is to help make humankind less alienated ontologically and eventually to end our ontological alienation completely.
In working toward that goal, The Ontological War is concerned with two main groups. The first group is made up of ontological sensitive people, and [...]

Ontological Ebbs and Flows

February 21st, 2010 · No Comments

In realself ontology terms, the Transition is the ontological path or road from one’s socialself to one’s realself.
Most of the time when increasing realself ideas are explained here they will be described as if people who are increasing their degrees of realself take an ontological step forward, then another, and another until they finally reach [...]

The Realself in the Socialself World Forest

February 16th, 2010 · No Comments

I started this blog mostly to explain the battle between those who think we should become more our realselves and those who think we should reject that self, but I’ve come to realize that I also need to spend more time explaining what the basic ontological terms mean.
To digress for a moment, I live in [...]

We Can’t Pick-and-Choose Our Alienation

February 11th, 2010 · No Comments

As people become more their realselves they become less alienated ontologically, and they develop a deeper and closer bond with reality and with the natural world—the life that exists other than our own. Men and women who reach this ontological state realize that the natural world is in fact their true home, and they develop [...]

Graham: “How do you like being married?”

February 7th, 2010 · No Comments

Most of the people who increase their degrees of realself start from the socialself world, being mostly their socialselves, and having mostly socialself-to-socialself relationships. Biographies show that there are a few people who apparently had a strong sense of their realselves for as long as they can remember, but most people start out life as [...]

Who We Are Ontologically Determines Where We Live

February 5th, 2010 · No Comments

The ontological world each of us lives in is determined by our degree of realself: those of us who are being mostly if not almost entirely our socialselves live in the socialself world, and those of us who are sensitive to our realselves live in ontological worlds that are made up of more of the [...]

Help! The World’s Too Big For Me! Make It Smaller!

January 31st, 2010 · No Comments

Several of my posts here have been critical of Catholics, and the main reason for that is that Catholics and the Vatican have pushed themselves to the front of those who are working to get all of us to become more alienated. But there are other organizations besides the RCC that are working to accomplish [...]

The RCC INC.

January 31st, 2010 · No Comments

Frank L. Cocozzelli has written an interesting article, “The Politics of Schism in the Catholic Church,” in which he examines the church’s moving toward a more conservative, if not reactionary, direction.
For those of us who have been keeping up even slightly with what the Vatican and “traditional” Catholics have been up to lately, this shift [...]

Alienation in the Schools, Alienation in the Courts

January 15th, 2010 · No Comments

In a previous post, Dr. David Barton: Jesus Is My Bitch!, I explained how decreasing realself people are trying to make public schools more alienating, and a recent decision by the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals shows that the courts are being used to do the same thing.
In yet another Ten Commandments’ case, the [...]

Dr. David Barton: Jesus Is My Bitch!

January 15th, 2010 · No Comments

A few days ago UPI had a story about two guys in Texas who want the Texas Board of Education to start including Christianity’s role in social studies in its schools:
[David] Barton [of Wallbuilders] and [Rev. Peter] Marshall want Texas public schools to focus more on points of history related to Christianity. Among their suggestions [...]
