Circoncision Je me rappelle comme si c'était hier C'était à Fes , c'était au quartier Zyat Un soir pas comme tous les soirs Je m’en rappellerai encore et encore J'avais juste six ans à peine Tout le monde était gentil avec moi ce soir Cela me paraissait bien bizarre Mon père était heureux bien que pensif et hagard Maman était bien soucieuse Elle tournait en rond toute nerveuse On m'habilla d'une mansouria verte Avec des rayures noires bien faites D'un Fez aux couleurs rouges Je tirais avec mon joujou de pistolet sur tout ce qui bouje On me met des babouches jaunes J'avais l'air d'un véritable clown J'ai été surpris et peiné Quand on m'a mis aux mains et aux pieds du henné Soudain des sons de tambour que quelqu'un roulait à tue-tête Et des hymnes de flûte fusait de partout et de trompette Les youyous de maman et de ses acolytes raisonnaient Et la danse et les chants passionnaient On me mis sur un cheval qui lui aussi danser la chamade Et moi je pleurais et faisait des gestes à mes camarades On devait faire un tour dans le quartier voire une balade Je me sentais mal , je me voyais déjà malade La nuit tombante on rentre à la maison Je voulais redoré mon blason Fatigué et intrigué je n'arrivais pas à m'endormir Je savais qu'on manigançait quelque chose J'étais soucieux et anxieux Et hébété presque en overdose Je voulais quitter les lieux et déguerpir Mais mon jeune âge Me força à rester sage Longue fut ma nuit dans le noir J’étais seul dans mon purgatoire pour les autres elle fut bien courte Tout le monde se leva très tôt Des vas et viens incessants Je me cachais sous mes draps Maman arriva et me pris dans ses bras Elle avait des larmes aux yeux Et moi j'implorais le Dieu des cieux Mais en vain ce fut un vœu pieux Je me demandais Je m’interrogeais Pourquoi m'infliger ce calvaire ? J'étais plutôt un gentil garçon J'avais tout pour plaire Il fallait que je fasse face A toutes ces manigances Et pourtant et malgré toute mes prières Aux âmes charitables de la terre Papa vint me chercher Et me prit par la main pour marcher Naïf j'ai dis : Papa ou-est ce qu'on va ? Il balbutia :mon fils on descend en bas Et doucement on descendit Et affectueusement il me dit Aujourd'hui tu ne seras plus môme Aujourd'hui tu deviendra homme Et moi crédule je n'ai rien compris On rentra dans le petit salon Et là il y avait oncle ABDELAZIZ le boucher rallant et un autre homme qui avait l'air pas du tout galant Oncle ABDELAZIZ me prit par le torse Et mois peureux je criais de toute mes forces Boucher comme il était je croyais qu'il allait m'égorger Pour me défendre je gesticulais et dans tous les sens je bougeais Résigné mais digne je me rendais J'étais défait et j'ai cédé Je regardais la scène J'avais trop de peine On m'écarta les cuisses Que oncle ABDELAZIZ me neutralisa Et tout en finesse Sacré oncle Abdelaziz ; il en avait l’habitude Je restais figé et crédule L'homme que j'avais en face Me fixa d'un air malicieux et me fit une grimace Il me dit regarde là haut Regarde le petit oiseau Je l'ai cru comme un sot Je cherchais en vain l'oiseau Et lui d'un geste de maître me pris le zizi Il décalotta le prépuce Je me suis évanoui Et d'un coup de lame Je senti comme une flamme Le prépuce coupé Fut à tout le monde exhibé Le sang gisait de partout Une pince pour clamper Je criais j'insultais comme un fou Je vis pour la première fois de ma vie mon gland J'étais à la fois heureux et mécontent Il me mît une mèche pour que rapidement ça sèche J’avais le corps en sueurs Et j’étais tout en pleurs Mon nez qui coule Au rythme des youyous de la foule Leur ambiance était cool Pour moi ce n’était pas du tout lol Moi je me sentais tout drôle Le tambour roula de plus belle Au rythme de la musique de la veille La flûte aussi avec ses airs d'antan Anima l'ambiance par des chants Mon père rentra dans la chambre Et me ramena à mon lit Fier de moi Il me dit avec émoi Tu étais môme Tu es maintenant homme et l’honneur m’échoit Je reçus beaucoup de cadeaux : voitures et clarinette un piano et même une bicyclette Argent et bombons sur un plateau Mes parents m'embrassèrent Et furtivement s’embrassèrent Heureux et délivrés ils en avaient l'air La fête dura trois jours pour les autres Pour moi il aurait fallu plusieurs crises Quesque voulais que je vous dise Avant que ça ne cicatrise !!!!!!

Chapter 3: The Latticework Theory- Reality as an Interdependent, Multi-Layered System 206

The conceptual framework commonly referred to as “Latticework Theory” integrates formal ontological analysis with applied epistemic reasoning. Willard Van Orman Quine’s analytic ontology, as outlined in "On What There Is" (1948), establishes rigorous criteria for identifying entities, categories, and relations within complex systems, providing a foundation for understanding which elements and interactions are structurally significant. Charlie Munger’s notion of a “latticework of mental models,” as articulated in his speeches and compiled in "Poor Charlie's Almanack" (2005), complements this by advocating for the disciplined integration of knowledge across domains to improve strategic decision-making under uncertainty. Together, these perspectives underpin a framework in which authority, information, and incentives propagate across layers of agents and institutions, producing outcomes that cannot be inferred from the isolated properties of components. Deviations at any node can be corrected when feedback is accurate, timely, and actionable. Failures occur when feedback is impaired, misaligned, or ignored. This framework provides a lens for analyzing industrial operations, national governance, financial systems, and technological risk in a unified, empirically grounded manner. The Toyota Production System (TPS), developed by Taiichi Ohno and detailed in "Toyota Production System: Beyond Large-Scale Production" (1988), exemplifies this framework at the operational level. TPS integrates authority, information, and incentives to align local actions with system-level objectives. The andon system, which allowed assembly line workers to halt production upon detecting defects, transmitted local observations directly to organizational decision nodes, enabling immediate corrective action. Empirical analyses, including studies of manufacturing efficiency, demonstrate that this configuration reduced defect propagation, accelerated problem resolution, and increased overall reliability compared to designs that optimized individual workstations independently. For instance, companies implementing TPS principles have reported defect rate decreases of around 60 percent, reflecting the structural alignment of authority, information, and incentives rather than isolated interventions. Singapore under Lee Kuan Yew illustrates the same principle at the national level. Between 1965 and 2020, per-capita GDP rose from approximately $517 to $61,467 in current U.S. dollars. By 2020, public housing coverage reached approximately 78.7% of resident households. Scholarly analyses attribute these outcomes to a central coordinating constraint: administrative meritocracy combined with credible enforcement. Recruitment and promotion emphasized competence and performance, anti-corruption measures ensured policy credibility, and social and industrial policies aligned skill formation, investment, and housing. These mechanisms were mutually reinforcing, producing system-level outcomes that cannot be explained by any single policy instrument but rather by ontological reasoning. Financial markets and strategic advisory practice demonstrate analogous dynamics. Many successful hedge fund managers and macro investors, such as George Soros (who studied philosophy with a strong historical focus) and Ray Dalio (who emphasizes historical pattern recognition in his investment principles), draw on deep historical expertise. Studies and industry insights highlight the value of humanities backgrounds in finance, with hedge funds actively recruiting liberal arts graduates for their ability to provide broader contextual understanding. This expertise enables pattern recognition across interacting variables, resource constraints, institutional incentives, technological change, political legitimacy, leadership behavior, and stochastic shocks, while facilitating analogical judgment about systemic regimes. George Soros’s concept of reflexivity formalizes the empirical reality that market prices and participant beliefs mutually influence one another. In feedback-dominated systems, quantitative models fail unless interpreted in historical and structural context. Historical insight therefore provides an advantage in long-horizon investing, geopolitical risk assessment, and capital allocation, as evidenced by the track records of such practitioners. The Boeing 737 MAX incidents of 2018 and 2019 provide a negative case that clarifies the ontology’s conditions. Investigations revealed that the MCAS system relied on single-sensor inputs, information about its behavior and failure modes was inconsistently communicated to operators, and engineering authority was constrained by commercial and schedule pressures. Incentives prioritized rapid certification and cost containment over systemic reliability. Local anomalies propagated to produce two hull-loss accidents with 346 fatalities. Analysis demonstrates that robust interconnection alone is insufficient. Outcomes depend on the alignment of authority, accurate information, and incentive structures that empower corrective action. Across manufacturing, national governance, finance, and technology, the same structural principle emerges: effective outcomes require the alignment of authority, information, and incentives, with feedback channels possessing sufficient fidelity and remedial capacity. Misalignment in any dimension produces fragility and amplifies errors. The Orbits Model operates within this substrate, with inner orbits requiring empirical validation and outer orbits constrained by systemic coherence. Empirical evaluation relies on archival records, institutional data, and observable system outcomes, providing a unified framework for analyzing complex adaptive systems. The Latticework framework thus integrates ontology, applied epistemics, and structural empirics, combining theoretical rigor with practical observation across domains.

Theosophy 257

Tupan, 21 h.
Theosophy is a spiritual movement that emerged in the late nineteenth century with the ambition of bringing religion, philosophy, and science into a single, coherent vision of truth. Drawing on both Eastern and Western mystical traditions, it promotes the idea of a timeless or “perennial” philosophy underlying all world religions. Central to this outlook is the belief that the soul evolves over long cycles of reincarnation and karma, gradually awakening to deeper spiritual realities. The movement was formally established in 1875 by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891) and her collaborators with the founding of the Theosophical Society, and it went on to shape many of the spiritual, philosophical, and artistic currents of the modern era. At the heart of Theosophical thought is the idea of a divine, impersonal Absolute that lies beyond the limits of human understanding—an idea comparable to the Hindu concept of Brahman or the Neoplatonic One. From this unknowable source, all levels of existence are said to unfold, descending through a hierarchy of spiritual planes and beings until they manifest in the material world. This cosmological vision reflects strong influences from Indian philosophy, especially Vedanta and Buddhism, while also incorporating elements of Western esoteric traditions such as Neoplatonism, Hermeticism, and Kabbalah. A defining feature of Theosophy is its emphasis on spiritual evolution. In The Secret Doctrine (1888), Blavatsky’s most influential work, she presents an elaborate account of planetary and human development governed by the laws of karma and reincarnation. According to this framework, humanity is currently passing through the fifth of seven “root races,” each representing a stage in the unfolding spiritual and psychic capacities of the species. The ultimate goal is a conscious return to divine unity, achieved through inner transformation and esoteric knowledge. Blavatsky maintained that her teachings were not purely her own but were inspired by highly advanced spiritual beings known as the Mahatmas or Masters. Said to live in remote regions of the world, these adepts were described as guardians of ancient wisdom and exemplars of humanity’s spiritual potential. Whether understood literally or symbolically, they expressed the Theosophical ideal of enlightenment and supported the Society’s mission of awakening latent spiritual capacities in all people. The influence of Theosophy reached well beyond the boundaries of the Theosophical Society itself. It played an important role in introducing Western audiences to ideas such as karma, reincarnation, and subtle energy systems, and it helped spark broader interest in Eastern religions. Its impact can be seen in the work of artists like Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), composers such as Gustav Holst (1874-1934), and spiritual thinkers including Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), who later founded Anthroposophy, and Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986), who was once proclaimed a World Teacher before ultimately distancing himself from the movement. Despite internal disagreements and the often complex nature of its teachings, Theosophy laid important groundwork for the later New Age movement and for modern forms of spiritual pluralism. Its effort to present a shared mystical heritage across cultures anticipated contemporary conversations linking science and spirituality, psychology and mysticism, and Eastern and Western worldviews. In this sense, Theosophy is more than a historical curiosity. It represents an ambitious attempt to reinterpret ancient wisdom for a modern world, grounded in the belief that spiritual truth is universal and that humanity’s deeper purpose lies in awakening to its own divine origins.
