Slaves to the Pyramid

More Evidence That Consolidated Global Power Is Wielded by a Tiny Elite - (An article on the Daily Bell)




This is simply the way such power works. Those who 'wield it' are robot-slaves believing they are free. But their freedom is to struggle ceaselessly to maintain their concept of themselves as reflected in their story as if it was their self. Notice this applies at any 'level' of the pyramid.
Materialism posits and perceives an external reality of competing powers, over and against an interior self that struggles to work out its inner conflicts and divisions, EXTERNALLY. Thus it 'sees' a corrupt and evil world' and justifies itself both with and against such a world.

"Let the games begin!"

Power aligns all things to itself, but power remains yours to give according to your definition of yourself in relation to anything or anyone. If we give our allegiance to that which symbolizes protection and power against the exposing of our inner connectedness, and the conflict-devices that hide it, then it becomes the currency of our belief and investment.

While the bubble holds, power is intoxicating to the haves and frustrating to the have-nots. The bubble is a psycho-emotional event. However there is a structural service or communication beneath the distortion that has legitimacy even if it is pictured in personal or political terms. (Energy access is a legitimate function - energy cartel is a distortion).

In a pre scientific paradigm we would have simply said that the devil runs the world. The blinding of self in its disconnected 'freedom' rationalized the devil away to the lure the Bright New Scientific Utopia. In which we are particularly blind to our own unconscious agenda (consciousness) - because we have taken the bait of arrogance and vanity in the guise of a disconnected 'reason'. In the prodigal wasteland of our own devices, we finally wake to what we do but knew not - because there's no where else to go. No more wiggle room. So at last a choice can be made that is not set by deception; graduate or repeat the lesson. Because it is a real choice, there is no coercion involved - though every coercion will endeavour to keep such choice hidden if You do not yet want to know.

The demand for Unconsciousness is simply shaping the 'market' - which then conditions and nurtures its market like a herdsman. What ARE we asking for beneath what we think (trade) and present as power, wealth, possessions, highs, vengeance, respectability or validity? This IS what we are getting - as we have asked. One cannot really skim the surface in hiding from the depth and expect it to be real - though one can really have that experience - at a cost.

This song prompts me to share its lyric - by Leonard Cohen:

"A Thousand Kisses Deep"

The ponies run, the girls are young,

The odds are there to beat.

You win a while, and then it’s done –

Your little winning streak.

And summoned now to deal

With your invincible defeat,

You live your life as if it’s real,

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,

I’m back on Boogie Street.

You lose your grip, and then you slip

Into the Masterpiece.

And maybe I had miles to drive,

And promises to keep:

You ditch it all to stay alive,

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,

The wretched and the meek,

We gather up our hearts and go,

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Confined to sex, we pressed against

The limits of the sea:

I saw there were no oceans left

For scavengers like me.

I made it to the forward deck.

I blessed our remnant fleet –

And then consented to be wrecked,

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,

I’m back on Boogie Street.

I guess they won’t exchange the gifts

That you were meant to keep.

And quiet is the thought of you,

The file on you complete,

Except what we forgot to do,

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,

The wretched and the meek,

We gather up our hearts and go,

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

The ponies run, the girls are young,

The odds are there to beat . . .

The power that devours its own

The head of Europe’s biggest newspaper publisher by circulation has accused Google of seeking to establish a digital “superstate” free from the constraints of antitrust regulators and privacy concerns.  ~ An article in the FT by Jeevan Vasagar


Many who owned and participated in the 'old paradigm'  power cartels are being replaced and made subservient to a new one - which itself is not immune to being coerced or taken over by the power that lets it break up the old establishment. Behind and beneath the often shadowy world of vested power interests are ways of thinking that are not really challenged because there is no real sense of an alternative to power politics. Yet our ideals have always called to qualities within humanity that are real enough but in one way or another subverted, denied and suppressed. I appreciate public discourse upon the actual power structures and dynamics at work in our world, but I feel that the call needs to be more than ideals to justify our selves with. We need uncover a true foundation. This necessarily involves waking up to that we DO do evil - but repackage and justify it like clever bankers with their toxic debts.
The pain of self-honesty brings quick remedy. One simply does not live FROM a revealed toxic participation once the pain of it is truly conscious. The persona of a negatively defined self will do anything NOT to be thus exposed - even as an addict will do anything to maintain the supply.
Common sense applies with regard to our dealings in the world, but a clear and true foundation expands that to true creative capacities. As long as we are besieged to protecting false investments, we blindly set forth in self-justified programming of which we are not aware. Consciousness responsibility uncovers our mind to our awareness instead of playing the stories that redistribute the power to withhold and deny or be thus denied. What you put out is what you get back - even though our minds are trained not to recognize this as the very Nature of Consciousness Itself. If humankind becomes subsumed by its own un-owned fear and hatred (who else seeks power over others but to take what one believes one lacks?), then an even deeper unconsciousness is being thus chosen in which so much less of what Life Is, will be consciously shared, lived and communicated. Hence the Call to awaken Consciousness beneath or upstream to the mentality of the personality structure that we use unmindful of its hidden agenda.
Thank you for your attention and thankyou FT for the opportunity to at least attempt to articulate this to the interest and willingness to listen in with me.
