Yamin Kogoya is a Papuan scholar and indigenous cosmological thinker from the Lani people of the highlands of West Papua.

He is the originator of the Civilisational Psycho-Cosmocide Paradigm (Psycho-Cosmocide) a framework rooted in the Lani cosmological principle of Wone, the primordial ordering force of existence — and the principal theorist of its application to questions of colonised consciousness, civilisational crisis, and the conditions for cultural and spiritual renewal among oppressed peoples and humanity at large.

Everything written here — and across all published work under this Paradigm, whether in books, journals, academic papers, articles, or social media — is not an answer. It is a question. A provocation. A conceptual instrument designed to make you cold, then warm, then hot. To make you uncomfortable, uncertain, shaken. To make you hungry, thirsty, and — where necessary — angry, so that you are compelled to look: not for his answer, but for your own, according to your needs, your situation, your conditions and circumstances.

"These frameworks, paradigms, and thinking maps are not prescriptions. They are instruments of questioning — not repositories of answers."

This work does not propose to describe your world, analyse it on your behalf, or offer practical guidance on navigating its immediate demands — how to find the next meal, how to attain a professorship, a governorship, a pastoral calling, celebrity, or the legitimacy of a resistance leader or diplomat. That is not what this is for.

This work proposes something more fundamental: a new mind, a new weapon, a new interior landscape, a new atlas of reality. It is an invitation to ascend — to climb to the top of the mountain and look out over the vast valley of civilisation. To witness its full terrain: the crime scenes and the floods, the demons and the prophets, the villains and the heroes, the warriors and the innocents, the guilty and those caught between. Not to be told what to see — but to learn how to look.

This work will not heal your wounds, your exile, your displacement, your homelessness, your pain, or your grief. It will place in your hands the instrument of diagnosis — and the conceptual materials from which you may build your own antidote, suited to your own conditions and your own journey toward wholeness.

Whatever diagnoses and remedies proposed here reflect one scholar's long journey of research, conviction, and understanding — shaped by the Lani cosmological inheritance of Wone and by a lifetime spent at the intersection of exile, oppression, sovereignty, and return. They are offered not as the final word, but as a crossroads - between collapse and beginning.
