1. let us
look at the
definition of
OT-
cause over
thought Life Form Matter Energy Space and
Time. As one falls away from that one becomes a spectator, then one becomes
effect. In the society today spectatorism is very common.
Magazine writers, reporters write weird pieces that
look at how odd things are. The writer doesn't understand them at all. He just watches them. Spectatorism is not so low as total
effect. The total
effect-no
cause-person has mainly a
case. He doesn't even
look.
(HCO PL 14 Jan 69) 2. spectatorism is very great in our modern society. Because some people cannot
conceive of causing anything they just
watch it. They
don't do anything. They are not participants. They are spectators. You see this in
magazines; a hee, hee, hee article about how odd this is or that is. No
understanding of it. It's just odd and one watches it in a
detached sort of way. Below this is somebody who doesn't even notice. Such a person has to come up
scale just to be a spectator. What we need are more participants, more
team mates.
