Ontology of the Moro Consciousness [ Part 1 ]


When human beings work together in a coordinated fashion, there becomes associated with that group a collective mind. The term `collective mind' in many Western scientists is better used in reference to smaller groups of people. It is also reasonable to suppose that animal populations especially those of ants and bees have a collective mind, the same with the so-called fish society.

Moro Not FilipinoCollective psychology refers to the actual personality, mental color, or `spirit of the times' which a collective mind projects. The introduction of Sarkar's social science as discussed by Michael Towsey in his research: "A Sociology for the New Age" -- defines collective psychology as "the average psychic momentum derived from the unit (individual) psychic momenta. The definition focuses directly on the sociological equation because it defines the relation between the psychological momenta of individuals and the psycological momentum of
the whole. In other words, collective psychology is the heart of sociology. Elsewhere Sarkar has defined history as the history of collective psychology.

Now as to the question of the Bangsamoro existence, the Sarkar theory of collective psychology provides a radical social analysis and synthesis, that the present-day Bangsamoro has that structural framework of a society. Indeed, the current state of the Moro collective psychology has sociological relevance based on typology of social class and not on the basis of socio-sentiments of religion or nationality. This theory of Sarkar collective psychology challenged the old school of dialectical materialism.

The Moro intellectuals (with their nationalist perspective) as of today have deliberately avoided the usual translation of the current state of the Bangsamoro in terms of typology. Maybe of some reason that will deterrent the party course of action they want to shape…

Nevertheless, the Bangsamoro social classes is existing in four types of psychic characteristics, such as the:

1. LABORERS – are the farmers, fishermen, housekeepers, etc. This type of social class comprises the majority in terms of numbers compared to the other classes, yet tended powerless to take the initiatives.

2. WARRIORS – the combatants, and/or the military force in the government. This type of social class take the initiative using practical manual skills

3. INTELLECTUALS – are the young professional, academe, religious leaders, ranking employees of the government. This type of social class used their intellect to initiate short cuts and labor saving methods

4. MERCHANT – are the capitalist usually partners with other elite societies and use money or wealth to maintain power and influence. Mostly of them in this particular case, they are the landlords or the feudal Datus (or Oligarch), and this class is the dominant because they employed the intellectuals, the warriors, and the laborers.
