(On propaganda in the modern world).
Deceit is the false currency by which a self-illusion rises and seeks sustainability as a substitution for your life.
Truth is the condition in which deceit cannot enter and has no existence.
And so the mind of deceit must by definition distort and block truth by framing itself in fear's protection.
If self-illusion is seen as a mis-identification, given power under fear of threat, and then suffering a growing entanglement of dependencies as survival necessities to the frame of such a strongly invested identity of fear-defined sacrifice to 'any means of sustainability' - then fear of extinction fuels the rebellion against a true self-honesty brought TO communication. Such fear MUST deny all other views and seek to undermine and invalidate them - at whatever cost - because such fear is a false sense of possession running blind as the determination to NOT see and NOT know by the intensity of the felt and driven need to 'know' or rather assert and defend something 'ELSE'. The lie is the progeny of purpose that it serves, and replicates its core pattern in any shifting of shape.
There is no love in it - but only appeals to manipulate sympathies of token 'association' with caring that is set in contrast and opposition to a hated and feared outcome, threat or flagged enemy so as to guilt and shame non-support or criticism and offer compensation of release from guilt by 'morally righteous' and socially incentivised 'identity' of active compliance and support - as the Stockholm syndrome of a accepting protection of a racket or tyrannous subjection - as the only life left to have.
The use of words is the framing and defining of reality as we accept it - either at heart as our conscious witness - or in compliance of subconsciously internalised structures that effectively operate a mind-capture to the human-conditioning - that has developed or evolved from ancient separation trauma - re-enacted down through the ages.
Whole we have agencies in our world that likewise operate on false currencies given allegiance as our 'too big to fail system' - my key interest is in recognising our individual responsibility as awakening freedom to be and to see and know in being - instead of personal identity acquired in a world of guilted blame that operates a negative economy of the attempt to get RID of its penalty by flagging AWAY from a hidden self ONTO others, and onto external or imagined conditions.
This splitting off and attacking or hating and excluding the hateful in the OTHER is the outsourcing of fear and pain of loss to the undermined, dominated or deceived. In the short term is a release of psychic-emotional charge that is seen as a 'hit' of pleasure - and self-inflation. And so addiction to such self-pleasuring operates the mis-identified 'joy' of judging and rejecting and setting self over others as if some kind of vindication for an inherently self-isolating act, or as victory of vengeance set over projected hate and unworthiness of a denied sense of life and world. This is of course self-destructive under the illusion of a personal or private 'victory' or to rephrase - the inherent result of holding private agenda at cost of the wholeness that gives - and shares life.
Insofar as survival is fitness - it is in fitting our living terrain - which is NOT an exclusively physical causality or dependency - but a psycho-physical wholeness for which we have no sense apart from intuitive resonance that aligns or is synchronous with the primary shared qualities of being.
The interplay of qualities to quantities that serve qualitative shifts of perspective is "Life, Jim - but not as we think to define and control it".
Regardless of ideals or revolutions in reaction to 'changing our world' it is always changing - because our perspectives are never really fixed, hardwired or written in stone - excepting that there are primary or foundational agreements upon which all else must follow. This fruiting of the roots is a tree of life when the root is truly shared - and yet the same power of Mind-in-Extension can as freely express conflicted, contradictory and self-limiting ideas and beliefs to effect not only negative fruiting in scarcity, war and debt, but at cost of a true and shared appreciation in gratitude for the gift of being - whose measure is open to the balanced sharing of its qualities.
Sharing is not imposed but uncovered. Consciousness is an extension of communication of being through whatever translations enable recognition.
Enforced 'sharing' is dependent on maintaining the differential of enforcement.
This polarises the belief that 'order' is called on by chaos (threat) as war, rather than called for BY chaos as a messenger or symptom of an otherwise invisibly denied psychic split.
The accusation of our sins in the other is so evident, that one has only to look at or think of another to notice it. Excepting we do not notice it while looking instead at what our thought frames as justified judgements of accepted currency that effectively short-circuit any genuine connection.
Attempts to unravel the lie will be deceived into thinking to know better than another and serve the same purpose in new clothes. But holding or abiding in simple truth aligns the conditions in which the lies of the day thereof are revealed untrue, and worthless or meaningless as any source of foundation from which to build or framework to grow in. Thanks - but no thanks.
I notice two 'laws' that pertain to Mind that have practical application:
What we resist, persists.
What we choose not to use, fades from non use.
This tells me I need to uncover and learn the ways of witnessing truth that don't feed the troll.
And that the new habit of consciousness of such a choice will strengthen as the old choice is no longer 'struggled with', vacillated in, or interjected back into the new (as if to 'this time make a better person in whatever frame that may appeal as an overcoming, evasion or denial of a past that made us worthless).
If we want choice in any true sense, we have to align in its active acceptance.
This is to embrace life as it is - in relational willingness rather than from a preemptive strike of judgements that define to control.
There's a Big Screen signpost of a world showing what you are NOT or where you do NOT want to go - but uncovering what we DO want is the willingness to stand in a sense of worth and uncover the life that then meets us. This can be in any moment of noticing the pattern of a self-limiting thought or act and choosing not to take the ride of the seemingly 'known'. Pausing to connect.
The disinformation and division of fear propaganda is to deny the intelligence of the 'target'.
Intelligence is not a fixed quota of 'assets' but a quality of connectedness that finds pathways of communication. That which depends on a psychic-emotional disconnect to seem to be real, thrives in a bunker mentality in which the fear of what the other might do is projected onto others and defended against by attacking them before they do it. There is no end to such madness but exhaustion and death - except of course the grace of noticing.
