HIDEOSITIES

by Richard S. Shaver

Written circa 1969

Some things other than light need to be hidden beneath bushels, while many lights that are not hidden under baskets should perhaps be extinguished. It isn’t necessary to string a lot of words together in meanings that are not anything but more words strung upon our overburdened necks already arched with the outpourings of the radio, TV and “News Conferences.”

What is necessary is a way, a real light in the darkness, instead of which we get misinformation ad infinitum and with embellishments of cliches that were worn out when Noah was hammering on his ark.

Hideosities is a necessary peek at the hidden whispering, the endless cruelty of the unspoken, the awful darkness of the lack of mind now pregnant on our horizon of unwanted things. You won’t like Hideosities, and you aren’t supposed to know they exist (especially by those who ARE hideous, cruel, unthinking agents of the darkness itself). They’re there, these agents of darkness, spread out across the world with their black wings fluttering to hide all truth and all goodness forevermore. But somehow they are visible even in the darkness we call “modern knowledge” (and other words like “technology”; always remembering that “technology” in Japan means Mercury poisoning in the villagers’ fish, and in the USA means dead birds on the oil-covered beaches).

The black wings of their reaching, hiding thought are active in every single mind on earth...obscuring all truth and all wisdom with a blanket of “invisible” thought waves sent out from vast and ancient underground installations of telaugmentive stations...and to live we have to learn it, and learn to do something about it besides whisper in the darkness of ignorance.

To live again, man whispers, watching the darkness descend again upon the “new” world of hope he has been so busily erecting these past two centuries. The new dark age of modernity has some very hideous markings upon its facade of glittering ambiguity and noble aspirations toward utter lack of mind. It is easy to throw mud at it, but to understand it is something else again. It is easy to throw a leper out of the village, but to stop the infectious spread of the disease is not really that simple. The cause of modern degeneracy and the decay of our institutions has to be isolated in fact, and not just in words.

It’s not so easy to tell a people lost in the ignorant darkness that is utter lack of all knowledge of their own past and their own deprivation of their own inheritance. It’s not so easy to be heard in the welter of words that is really a smoke screen behind which our worst parasites operate. Everywhere this smoke screen of endless babble obscures all possibility of genuine thought...the “media” operate perpetually to obscure all real information, apparently unknowingly their worst evil is ignored and hidden by their own efforts.

The “Captive Audience” sits and watches their TeeVee, and never knows that what they watch is drawing their attention from their greatest need and their most pressing priority.
