Crisis of Misinformation

Crisis of Misinformation
(Commentary to the entanglements within mis-identity)

There are facets to governance that are serving to hold the balance points - and there are usurpations or corruptions of governance that operate to distort and coerce outcomes - so as to perpetuate an 'out of balance' as if it were order - ie: power elitism.
Just using the term government may fog the issue. The legitimate process of serving the reintegration of a true balance is not one of stripping away all remaining checks to rapacious plunder...
People can and do elect to operate collectively as well as individually - whether that be in corporate cartels or trade unions and social movements of any kind. Of course the collective soon becomes prey to 'leaders', subversions, infiltrations, dilutions and corruptions, but that is not to deny that there WAS a collective alignment or movement for change.
Individualism is generally an elitist aspiration - because only those with some sense of power in their lives or indeed power in Life - will stand outside the inherited or dictated narratives of power.
Conditioning has more than a surface mentality - such as the misinformation and propaganda reflect, it has deep subconscious and unconscious core that all propaganda seeks to trigger and hook into.
The mind - as it is generally equated with the thinking of the persona - is simply a personal propaganda in attempt to defend against core fears and negative beliefs.
The overwhelming flood of misinformation brings the sense of sickness and insanity of not being able to trust ANY thinking whatsoever. While this is a wretched emotional state - it is exactly the basis of awakening a deep desire for truth - for something - ANYTHING - True! The awakening FROM mentalism to a heartfelt Life-Connected integrity of relationship and communication is the key shift from which all else will in time follow - because once one is sickened by lies and moves from investing in them - one is back in the realm of a receptivity to Life - as it is Moving - and not entirely entangled within narratives of self-serving-vanity.
Clinging to the investment in propaganda may take to side of being against what seems a dangerous and even evil 'individualism' - or against a dangerous and evil collectivism - but the truth that I feel to share here - is that we are given a will - a receptivity and expressive manifestation of what is received - in order to feel the situation for ourselves and discern how define ourselves in relation to it according to our true desire.
This is very different from asserting power over others - often by undermining it in others and inducing them to give it away to a predetermined agenda. There is no relationship of communication in that case - only deceit and coercion - in which a captive conformity is presented.
True individualism is based in an indivisibility that one has to extend, in order to receive - and recognize. Accepting placeholders as substitutes for the real thing is the pattern of using the FORM of Life as a way of denying (and gaining power over) Life. Readers here are likely aware of this as financial scams but perhaps less so in terms of the currency of ideas - as if ideas were separate conceptual things rather than inter and intra relational and vibrational communication.
Reading the movement or energy of the moment at hand has largely been subordinated to command and control (fear and power agenda). It is that which operates the negative version of the 'invisible hand'. Not the energetic movement Itself. The ideas through which we identify and relate are determining the perception-experience we then appreciate - or suffer.

Praetor:

As time goes on. The deception will increase. Alt-news is now speculating and discussing the use of green screens on the MSM channels and how this will effect perception of events. Just watch a 'good' sci-fi movie and amaze at how real it appears, and knowing all the time its not real. As time goes on. The deception will increase, and the truth will be very hard to discern!!!

To Praetor:
All the more inducement to develop discernment in place of giving trust to ANY forms. For any form of idea or appearance can be used as a trojan through which to hide agenda that belies the presentation. We do this first to deceive ourself - and use others as the power of agreement whereby to 'make real' such pretences. Whether those 'others' be considered power conferring masters, power joining allies, or our vanquished powerless underlings.
Exactly what Is 'reality' is a profound question - because everything else - bar nothing - proceeds FROM that. The attempt to determine of conform reality to self-concept is a profound and fragmenting confusion.

Conspiracies - What Do You Believe?

Conspiracies - What Do You Believe?
(A Daily Bell commentary on a Guardian article that pretends to deal with conspiracy or indeed blatant lying by media, gov and corporates who share a common agenda).


Whatever one believes will determine how the interpret and perceive - as well as the thoughts and behaviours that then automatically follow.
So belief itself becomes the 'battleground' or war that operates in place of a tangibly connected peace in which communication occurs naturally and spontaneously - rather than being denied or conformed to a fearful agenda of pain or loss.
Being truly aware of the operation of belief amidst the experience of living in a world predicated on belief is to be awake and on purpose. But beliefs that run as undercurrent or denied agenda do not announce themselves as beliefs - but are the imprinted conditioning OF the Human Condition in general and our respective roles within that conflicted self-sense in particular.
The war of judgement is that by which one gets to determine 'reality' and undermine or invalidate and neutralize or deny any other witness.

The unmasking of the devices of deceit and denial in the world is a reflection of the unmasking of that same device within our fragmented consciousness. The 'elitist' exceptionalism - persists the notion that the 'problem' is someone else's and that they are suffering - if at all - the frustration or loss resulting from other's lack of adequacy or worthiness. But this is not the whole truth for the nature of denial is that one does not recognize it is in fact one's own.

The split off fragment that is asserted as oneself is an active part of its predicate. But we are most loath to release such investment when the persona operates as the device of defence against deeper fear and rage. And so the core conditioning is never engaged but in its worldly reflection, by which it is defined and interpreted so as to protect against exposure.

There is a deeper pattern that can be recognized as the core imprint in the human psyche - and there is a universal conspiracy or tacit agreement to avoid such exposure by mutuality of judgement - for without such a 'power' we would lose 'our minds' and have no protection from a destructive and loveless sense of power amidst powerlessness. However, I see that is happening in any case and so feel moved to question 'mind' in its inhibition of Life, and to reconnect and integrate with feeling. With a true presence.

Political Ignorance and apathy

Why John Oliver Can’t Find Americans Who Know Edward Snowden’s Name (It’s Not About Snowden)

(I actually commented this into Media Lens Forum)


This mirrors the configuration of 'consciousness' in which as much as possible is given to subconscious routines and made unconscious.
This is because conscious responsibility is equated with or uncovering of negative outcomes.
The desire to 'split off from' or escape responsibility rises out of guilt, powerlessness, terror, rage and shame.
To put the conditioning into reverse; it is easy to see that where such latent conditionings can be triggered, there is a very strong and predictable desire to seek protection from such fears.
Identity politics is the assertive defence of a sense of identification against anything that would expose or uncover a feared and believed truth in which one loses whatever power one fears to have. Emotional investment follows accepted self-definition and core beliefs.
The stirring of willingness - indeed love - of truth, cannot set terms in advance as to what that is.
But it can recognize and release its own filtering distortions enough to open a greater receptivity to a clearer perspective of resonance and relevance to the active desire.

Perhaps most Americans don't give any care (for anything outside their immediate sphere of control) simply because they believe themselves to be powerless and grab at anything they can use to either distract or insulate themselves from stuck rage, deeper fears and a sense of powerlessness. Perhaps while such investments are identified with and protected, no other choices or perspectives can be discovered or opened. A god of judgement is a jealous god - and that imprint is much deeper than any surface personality traits - no matter how rationalized away of covered over with justifications.

Education is the natural result of conditions in which learning is supported, but the imposition and corruption of a fear and guilt agenda 'learns' to deny the true spirit of curiosity and discovery in favour of the mask of conformity within a tyranny that uses division and conflicted identity to rule from the shadows.

However, the recognition that fear and guilt demand sacrifice of truth, and thus of true joy in living, is the basis from which to challenge the narrative and allow a true willingness for learning that is transformational - for we are changed - and our perception and experience of ourselves, each other and our world is changed, thereby. This is that last thing that a control-mentality will allow. But the desperation of a clinging to the attempt to coerce and manipulate becomes a lesson from which all who are willing, will learn of their own liabilities - if they desist the temptation to project their own guilt and fear away onto others and world in search of validation and righteousness.

Mis-takes call for correction; for a fresh take. Guilt calls for blame and punishment. Here are two teachers with opposing curricula. One cannot serve two masters. This is the choice upon which all else proceeds.

True governance has been subverted, corrupted and usurped. This is a call for good housekeeping to re-establish a true sovereignty of Will, which has been falsely associated with opposition and blame-shamed into subjection by a false will. By a false currency of thinking and a loveless use of the mind that reflects as a denied will and body. Such  our world is picturing writ large.
