Noticing the mindtrap is the key.
Unless the mindworm is identified as a mindtrap, there can be no recognition and appreciation of freedom. For its nature is to live the reaction to threat as necessary and overriding survival.
We each can take an education in the nature of the human condition (ing), so as to live a new choice in place of old habit, or persist to wind the death spiral of a false sense of possession and control.
The monkey trap works by a fixed gourd with a fruit in it. The monkey reaches in and grabs the fruit but the hold in the gourd doesn't allow retrieving hand and fruit and the monkey wont let go of it.
The mind has different levels. The functional priority is defining of choice or decision. As we set priority, so are we framed or freed to choose again.
The freedom given to the body belongs to Mind. To lockdown the mind in the body is a human 'normal' but that does not make it true. The result of invested identity is a mind blindness, for only those options which 'keep the fruit' are considered while the 'fruit' is invested with the status of 'too big to fail'. Adapting to failure and learning to love or applaud our condition, is the 'mind' of narrative redistribution. We can give precedence to ideas that support the sense of possession and control, by diminishing awareness of fear of pain and loss, so as to become structured BY the structures of old 'fruit' and 'fruit-feuds' relating to pecking orders of pain and privilege, AS IF we live inside a 'gourd' of self-limiting inevitability and a failure assigned irrevocably as guilt (seeking its target).
"Seek you first the Kingdom of Heaven and all things shall be added" is in archaic terms that may be dismissed out of hand by a modern rational thinking model, but for the harmony of an integrated and integrative experience put what is First, first, or else a world in which “Everything is BACKWARDS" reflects an identification in private gain at cost of wholeness of being.
“Everything is BACKWARDS; everything is upside down! Doctors destroy health, Lawyers destroy justice, Universities destroy knowledge, Governments destroy freedom, Major media destroys information, And religions destroy spirituality". Michael Ellner
While we can only act from where we are currently aware, the key is not to struggle against the 'backwards' and thereby be framed by reaction, but to pause from temptation and in an instant or a willingness of honesty at heart, align in truth.
If fear has overridden, usurped or captured the mind, then there can be a process of stepped release. But if we experience the mindtrap of struggle and futility as the exhausting and dispiriting to rage, powerlessness and despair, we are DOING THIS UNTO OURSELF. Hence the call to pause or stop giving focus to the 'problem' as is running a split or dissociative mind and Ground our self to awareness of being. The More of You, is not 'in the gourd' and is a wholeness from which perspective restores choices that are denied by 'fear and the call for fight or flight. Those who have frozen are simply needing love and acceptance. The part of ourself that is frozen is simply needing love and acceptance. The polarising of fear and control is not winnable for each drives the other.
Instead of sacrificing the light to lift the darkness - that then only feeds on and subverts to use to lock down into control, let the darkness be brought to light. Feel what is here, but resist the temptations to enact the old habit, from simple faith in the wholeness of life that you have lived and indeed lives you - but does not coerce.
Freedom is an immeasurable gift, but we can choose to lose awareness for the sake of self-illusion given priority, that then runs as if the power to trap Mind in its own thinking.
Is this ever actually true?
It cannot become truth, but it is a facet of our freedom to experience.
The willingness to release poor choices and open perspective for better outcomes is yielding our right to judge all things to a willingness to reevaluate what we think we know.
Without active willingness, the More of You is un Called on - and discarded while you set your will against the 'Gourd' - as if it is generating the force of your or our destruction.
The apocalypse can be seen as arriving at our starting place to know it for the first time.
A world without love is where love comes to die. But this need not be. There is another way of looking at this but our own 'Gourd-thinking' is not the means to reveal it - and only drives deeper into manipulative madness as the attempt to make safe within fear made 'normal'. As such it is machine-thinking running logically upon insanely conflicted predicates and parameters.
When our modelling is given priority over empirical and relational truth, we are 'climbing into the 'Gourd'... again - only this time as an Internment of Things set in machine thinking given priority to access and control behavioural responses (perception) as a trojan for hacking into bilogical code.
It may be possible to always find a deeper hell than what had been normalised and adapted to, as the ‘devil we know’ or the lesser evil, or a driven experience of necessity without any sense of real choice. Not least from invested belief in the fear-funded ability to escape it, eradicate it or systemically manage or redistribute the pain of life.
But do you want it?
If you say you do not but persist in acting to bring it about, then that is the way of masking what you are choosing as if to suffer it at the hand of another.
“Now look at what you made me do!”.
Self-responsibility is our individual expression of relational freedom.
Fear, guilt and blame demand distancing by lockdown into a withholding and withdrawing from communication, relationship and light of awareness - that is associated with exposure to pain of loss of possession and control.
Releasing the grip of a lovelessly perceived world, is not its destruction or ours, but a mind renewed. Not merely masked in as new beliefs - but the fruit of an inner regnition and integrity of being. Don't wait another moment for conditions to allow you to be at one with who you are - and know the extension of love in any expression of appreciation. Masking in virtue signalling is the norming over a hell that drives the hollow parody of life. We hate our selves. But in truth we can only hate what we made and took to be our self. That choice can be undone because you cannot be actually trapped by your own thought - except as the willingness to persist in the ‘habit’ that drives the need for a ‘fix’. To pass through fear calls on love, not external props, masks and powers.
We don't know what love is because we used it as a means for ‘getting’ a mist-taken identity. But love identifies truly - regardless of masking layers of mutually reinforced ‘normals’, given priority as ‘too big to fail’.
Choice is always within the moment at hand - regardless that the mind wanders or dissociates to its own spinning. Recognising choice at the heart is shifting to decision. ‘Thinking’ can ingeniously delay decision. There is a balancing of readiness that cannot be forced. We participate in our own release - and each other’s.
