Harry’s Mana in Me!

My room in Sievierodonetsk (eastern Ukraine). As it was at the moment I read the email telling me Harry had died. My room now, after multiple Ruschian lootings of the house. My flat in Kosovo - our Mana remains in the manses, domains, maisons, and mansions in which we once lived. My cat Stanitsia on my OSCE bullet proof vest that I wore every day in work 2015-2018 in eastern Ukraine. On the way to Kyiv - at Kreminna (currently under a brutal Ruschian occupation). The text of this episode of Finding Manuland, edited from the remastered recording for reading. I'm Decoding Trolls. I write at Disinfolklore.eu, on X as Disinfolklore and DecodingTrolls, and at Disinfolklore.net, DecodingTrolls.net and PowerofMana.net. Hi there, I'm Decoding Trolls. Welcome to Finding Manuland. This is episode five, Harry's Mana in Me. If you're wondering what happened to episode four, I'm going to publish it over the next few days. I want to split episode three into two parts. I got some feedback that it's quite long. Indeed it is quite long. So we'll try and keep things a bit shorter and have more episodes. I really appreciate the feedback on this. A new medium Thank you for being with me as I learn, as we learn this new format, this new medium. It is a new medium. It's something more, something different from radio, something different from writing, from tweeting. And I'm really excited by it. And because we are talking about Mana and the exchange of energy. The timbre of my voice communicates my Mana into your mind directly. It does that in a way that text doesn't. I'm not saying text is better or worse, or this is better or worse. But we will use all the weapons in our arsenal in order to help us communicate positive Mana. Archetypes that are not fixed Before, we've talked about mental models. What I mean by a mental model is this archetype that we have in our mind of the world. And as we confront external reality and the environment around us and stimuluses. These provoke or touch or stir our archetypes. And fortunately, if you're listening to this, you're probably, as I aspire to be, not fixed. I aspire to have my archetypes not fixed, my mental model of the world not fixed. I want them to expand as reality changes. Nevertheless, there are unchanging principles. For me, they are really summed up by the post-World War II legal order. That is not because I agree necessarily with all of the content. The United Nations Charter, territorial integrity, the Genocide Convention, international criminal law, international human rights law, protection against being discriminated against on certain protected grounds. All of these are issues which most states have signed up to. But every now and again they try to rescind their consent to. And our information space is full of violations of this set of ethical plans. We'll come back to why these are very important in Finding Manuland a bit later on. Mana, and the energy in our cells But just to say, these mental models that we're talking about. That's the general way I look at what mental models are. And the mental models most relevant to Finding Manuland, as we've discussed: first, Mana. Most of us didn't have any mental model of Mana using that term. It is this energy we exchange as a function of being human. It is the idea that we have this capacity as sentient beings, whether it's animals or humans, those animated. Interestingly, that is a reversal of the M-N- sound. But we'll come back to the meaning of this element in Finding Manuland a bit later on. We also have this energy exchange on a cellular level, between our mitochondrial genome. It is about 32, 33 genes long, quite a short one. And then the famous one, the famous genome, which is the massive one. It is in the nucleus of our cells. The mitochondrial DNA actually is really key to determining the identity. And the space where the Yamna lived in southeastern Ukraine. They were the first Indo-European language speakers. And ancient human DNA analysis in itself is a very important character in our book, and in Finding Manuland. However, the meaning of mitochondrial DNA in this sense is our cells' electric charges. It is this ATP energy, which is created by our mitochondrial DNA. There are these little factories in each of our cells. This energy is a model that emanates from us. It creates us. We are aggregates of billions and zillions of these cells. All of them have these little electrical charges made by mitochondrial DNA. And that itself is a model. It can be seen in how we, as aggregates of these zillions of cells, exchange energy with others. So it is a metaphor. It's a metis device, far light. It gives light to this idea of energy exchange. It goes from the micro, from the cellular level, to the macro, to the civilizational level, if we like. Taking back control But we're most concerned in Finding Manuland with the exchange of Mana and energy as humans, individual humans. The purpose of all of this is to help us communicate positive Mana in the moment. In the moments we find ourselves in today. We can recover. We can protect. We are in a situation where we're communicating negative Mana. That's whether it's in a shop or in a schoolroom or at work. Or just on the street or when we're reading a newspaper. And all of this information is affecting our moods, our attitudes, our motivations, in our mind. We can take control. We can take back control of how we are reacting to the energy that we are receiving into our minds. And Finding Manuland is mainly about that. You'll notice, I'm going to tell you, Finding Manuland is mainly about a lot of things. But I'm going to reserve "mainly about" for what it really is mainly about. Space, time and cultures And so we have this now. If you've been listening and reading my work, you have a mental model of what Mana is. And Finding Manuland is about expanding that. We expand our mental model of space. So between Ireland and India, we fill in the gaps. We will be talking about a lot of places, villages in this area, Finding Manuland. We might not have been familiar with them before. And this is all a means of anchoring, in our minds and our mental models, a more expansive and more intense understanding of the geographical space between Ireland and India. That is where traditionally we speak Indo-European languages. And where Indo-European languages spread from around 4100 BCE until today. From an area most of us aren't familiar with in southeastern Ukraine. So the third element is time, and we want to expand our mental models of time. I'm explaining this idea by reference to, say, Old Testament time. I realise others of us will have different reference points. Many of us live only in the last 20 or 30 years. But I'm trying to expand our idea of time to around 4100 BCE, in this space in southeastern Ukraine. Where Indo-European languages were forged. And in order to expand our mental model of time. So that when you're watching Flintstones, you will be able to say, no, that's not genuine. They didn't have televisions then. Say you are listening to some popular culture thing, or you're reading a very deep text or watching a film. And it's immanent, the Mana, the energy of the message. That ancient Greece was the original culture in Western civilization. You'll be able not only to react against this by thinking, no, that's not the case. The Greeks spoke an Indo-European language. That Indo-European language, and the gods, and the religion, is some function of what the first Greeks inherited. The Danaans inherited it from the Yamna ancestors. We now know from recent studies of the mitochondrial DNA of ancient humans, of the first Mycenaeans. Again, M-N-. We know that they emanated from southeastern Ukraine. They had this Yamna, this ancient Ukrainian steppe ancestry in their genes. And also the coincidences of the names of gods like Zeus Pater, and the words, and the roots of verbs. For instance, with Greek and Armenian, no one is quite sure, and it's proba… Get full access to Power of Mana at www.powerofmana.net/subscribe
