	3. The soul of Jomon lurking to Japanese gods and goddesses. 3-1. The origin of Japanese double standard.
	As it stated before, the Japanese people are holding the soul of Jomon at the depths of one's heart for long. It is because we could inherit the soul of Jomon culture from the Jomon language and the ancient Japanese language because of our Japanesque brain as we inherited hereditary feature from Jomon people. However, as everyone knows, the present Japanese people are in the diluted condition in the blood of the Jomon people considerably. As it stated before, it is because many of the inhabitants of Japanese Islands, to survive, were obliged to choose the Yayoi culture and the acceptance of the blood of the immigrant and were obliged to fight each other. In that reason, the blood of Jomon people we have became thin rapidly. And, because of the social condition like that, the soul of Jomon culture gradually came to be concealed to the depths of the heart together with its expression openly or secretly, as Yayoi culture spreads. In those days, the rulers acquiring the supremacy in the Japanese Islands almost were the Yayoi people. So, they start to gather as the certain political force, soon, while repeating the many wars. And, their principle for the concentration of powers was the rationalism which is based on Yayoi culture. So, the gods and goddesses were forced to be united hierarchically under the one family, that is, Yamato because of the rationalism like that. In other words, the gods and goddesses were forced to change the divine nature of them because of the hierarchy of the gods and goddesses. And, their freedom also got restricted. On the other hand, as for the gods and goddesses worshiped in the Jomon society, there still wasn't the clear hierarchy. The Jomon culture is based on the polytheism which is derived out of animism and is based on the method of distribution like the primeval communism. And, it seems that their social environment, that is, the political system, the religion, the method of distribution, the economical system, and so on almost didn't change, in spite of the trade's becoming frequent and in spite of the political condition changed rapidly at the Japanese islands. So, it seems that the gods and goddesses in the Jomon society also kept each freedom and were in the relatively equal condition. In other words, the people's free mind and dignity were kept relatively well in the Jomon society. It is because the free gods and goddesses means the individual's freedom and independence. And, it seems that the mental environment like that mainly was cultivated by the frequent trades exchanged among various people or communities. It probably would relate to the thing also that the Jomon people originally were the sea people. And, it isn't so hard to guess the Jomon people to have been the extrovert very much, and to have gotten the knowledge from the various people, going to the far lands in the small boats before they obey the Yayoi culture. However, the individualistic mind Jomon culture cultivated was quite the nuisance for the rulers trying to govern the Yayoi society. It is because they in those days needed the strong political centripetal force for the concentration of powers. So, they tried to lay the other political forces under one's reign with the various means, regarding the free mind and dignity like that as the symbol of anti-powers and savage. This seems to suggest the ruling class having the characteristic of Yayoi people at least mentally continued to confront the lower classes having the mental characteristic of Jomon people for long. Needless to say, it needs hardly to be said there was the confrontation for long between the people living under Yayoi culture and the people living under Jomon culture in those days. The rationalism based on Yayoi culture the rulers want is the civilization's mind, is the powers mechanism's mind wanting organizing the persons. It can't go well with the liberalistic mind anyhow. So, the soul of Jomon fell into the situation pushed to the depths of the mind because of the trend of times. So, our mind was forced to hold the dual structure composed of the following two mind. That is, one of them is the soul of Jomon lurking to the bottom of mind, and another mind is the rational mind based on Yayoi culture to oppress the soul of Jomon. In passing, the dual structure of mind can be seen at not only Japan but also the other countries or peoples having civilization. Needless to say, it is natural that the contents of the dual structure are different, corresponding to each country or peoples. Now, it returns to the theme. In our Japan, the circumstances mentioned above brought to the individual's mind the deep-rooted hatred to be aimed to the rational mind which is based on Yayoi culture, before each individual's noticing the thing. And, the hatred like that made the horrific curse grow in each individual's mind. If it states this state about the gods and goddesses, it is expressed like the "Tatari-gami(vengeful god or vengeful goddess)". In other words, that is the curse the soul of jomon gives off. And, needless to say, its target was the system for the governance which is based on Yayoi culture. However, as for this curse and vengeful gods and goddesses, it will be explained in other works because it is different from this theme. By the way, it can guess from several parts of myth in Kojiki and in Nihon-shoki, about how Yamato oppressed the gods and goddesses Emishi or other worships and Jomon culture. Then, it also can understand the ancient Japanese history as the history of confrontation of the two lineages, that is, Ama-tu-kami(the gods and goddesses of heavens) and Kuni-tu-kami(the gods and goddesses of ground). In passing, the Ama-tu-kami is composed of the Yamato's gods and goddesses, and so on mainly, and the Kuni-tu-kami is composed of the Izumo's gods and goddesses, and so on mainly. According to Kojiki and Nihon-shoki, the gods and goddesses of the heavens-side conquered the gods and goddesses of the ground side if it is said simply. Then, not only the gods and goddesses of the ground side but also the gods and goddesses of the heavens-side were changed to support Yamato's supremacy and had to stand their freedom gradually weakening. It was because the hierarchy of gods and goddesses putting on the top Ama-terasu became strong increasingly. And, such history of the gods and goddesses was described in Kojiki and Nihon-shoki by Fuhito Fujiwara and his sworn friend, that is, Yasumaro Oo, and so on. The Kojiki and Nihon-shoki really is symbolizing the rationalism to be based on Yayoi culture. And, the rationalism like that was kept as the mental and political principle for the governance from the Yayoi period at least until the end of Second World War. And, the common people also accepted seemingly or unconsciously the rationalism based on Yayoi culture. However, the mental principle existing to the depths of their mind was the soul of Jomon persistently in spite of their almost not noticing the thing. So, our dual structure of mind also became strong increasingly. But, it is certain the soul of Jomon also exists in the persons having edited Kojiki and Nihon-shoki. So, it can find out the parts giving off the smell of Jomon culture at Kojiki and Nihon-shoki relatively easily. It would be that Kojiki and Nihon-shoki also couldn't escape from the dual structure of mind. In modern Japan, the European constitutional monarchy and other systems, and so on were imported by the said government for the modernization of Japan since the Meiji era. In other words, Western European political systems and rationalism were grafted on the principle of the rationalism like Yayoi culture. The modern Japan have been built upon such history whether it likes it or not. Even if it finished as the defeat of the Second World War because of the thing, we have to see the history like that straight. It is because the history like that already became our blood and flesh. And, the blood like that and also flesh includes our deep-rooted problem. Therefore, we have to examine the blood like that and also flesh in detail in the calm mind without the emotional approval or denial. And, it thinks we need to correct our mistake, noticing our mistake. Now, it returns to the main theme. In spite of our history mentioned above, the soul of Jomon is living at the depths of our mind as the mental footing of Japanese peoples because of the characteristic of our brain even now. On the other hand, the rationalism based on Yayoi culture also is surviving for the governance, being camouflaged with the European social systems. Therefore, our mental dual structure and the hatred to the rationalism in question never be the relic of the past. Really, it is our present problems. And, it can understand the thing at once if it sees the unemotional logic of organization suppresses the personal logic continuously. However, this also isn't the problem in only Japan. Such situation is seen anywhere at the civilized society. But, it is natural that each aspect is different, corresponding to each community. If it sees it with the viewpoint of the continuation of the community, it may be that it should decide whether it is problem, corresponding to the extent of such condition. But, it is certain that the existence able to judge rightly the proper extent isn't the said powers mechanism. Anyhow, we first need to notice that our mind and culture is based on the dual structure of mind. And, we need to take back our original soul without the restriction, that is, the soul of Jomon at the consciousness. This is the natural proposal because it is that our country adopted the democracy at least as for the system. If not, Japan has to rely on the imported temporary principle and the democracy of only system without noticing our real mind. And, if the condition like that continue for long, we always would be forced to keep building the house of cards. But, it doesn't seem it is wise selection. We need to perceive one's real soul really now. The unsuitable worldview and the distorted historical viewpoint leads us to the horrible tragedy. Even if it doesn't examine the past history, it seems it is the obvious fact. Today, it seems that our norm for the behavior is about to lose the function at the various parts. By any chance, This may be the punishment laid on us because of our not noticing our real mind and because of our mind caught to the material prosperity and too narrow objective recognition too much. Most of the social norms are based on the fusion of each ego, and on the subjective recognition holding the consistency. In this case, the objective recognition gotten from the science, and so on almost hasn't the influence on this fundamental cause of the social norms. We have to recognize that the objective recognition is only the means to complement the subjective recognition. The unconcern to the subjective recognition leads the individuals' mind to be in immature condition without the consistency of recognition. And, in this case, a person is apt to act with the temporary emotion. If the condition like that is left as it is, it can't assert that it doesn't cause the ruin of the human nature, the ruin of the culture and community, at all. The culture is the origin of the various standard, and also is the centripetal force of the community. And, the standards like that are supported by frankly exchanging the information among individuals, not by the vessel called the organization. If it is seen from the viewpoint of ego, it is supported by the fused egos. However, if it sees the present situation, it seems that our country gives the maintenance of the organization the priority, almost treats the personal mind and problem carelessly or in the tabling condition though it doesn't know the circumstances of the other countries. And, today, since the information among the individuals often is apt to be exchanged through the organization, the organization's intention or logic is mixed to such information, before we notice. Or else, because of such social tendency, there would be also the cases that the individual who is the taker or the sender misunderstands the organization's intention as the other person's intention or own intention. In other words, there is the possibility the present general information transmission obstructs the original and especially personal information transmission necessary for the society. And, since it seems that the fusion of egos under such social condition is difficult, there is possibility the effectiveness of social norms decreases. Needless to say, for the effectiveness of the social norm, the power of the organization is necessary. However, we would need to notice the social norms persistently are the culture the fused egos bring. * Reference: 9: The logic inherent in civilization and ego. 10: The complementary explanation about the ego.
