Oppressed Powerlessness?

I am not sorry. You are free to choose your own experience. 

I am not sorry. You are free to choose your own experience. 

You have never needed anything but what you determined you have and are. Now you have an 'oppressed powerlessness' - and blame. This is part of our human experience - but is it your final conclusion?

No matter what we use as a framework of definition and interpretation, it remains mutable, temporary and in that sense a partial and shifting flux.

Will you consider shifting from the collectivised projection to the mind being projected?

IE:

Our thought is controlled by hope and fear, lockdown (of attempted self-certainty) manipulates these derivatives of pleasure and pain (at all levels of the human experience), to support and reinforce a ruling narrative given priority over whatever cost, sacrifice, or denial is required for the 'survival' of the thought-system, mind-set or identity-complex.

But the above is something that can be readily OBSERVED in ourselves, in any moment in which conflict and coercion is active as struggle or masking in a false presentation of 'being ok' or indeed morally justified, or compelled by 'moral' necessity.

If we can simply observe this 'mind-in-act' then in that moment we are not the character in drama - that our own mind is cast into the making, but have allowed or let into a free awareness in which new perspective rises or comes into our appreciation. Of Itself - and not as a result of man made thinking by any kind of packaging.

'Oppressed powerlessness' may also arise without any political-social context - as in any circumstance of powerlessness at the level of the body as well as depression or dispiriting of the mind.

I see that our exclusive identification with the body as a separator, as a mask and as a symbol of frailty requiring lockdown of Consciousness to a divided or split 'rule' is running like a template beneath its effects - in which hope and fear vie for control - as the presumption that 'control' is self and survival.

Love offers another perspective to fear and control, but the attempt to marketise and weaponise 'love' is to mask a hollowness in signalling virtue - or indeed 'anti-vice'.

I am well aware that vice is as at home in seemingly religious or spiritual thought and assertion as in scientific and rational assertion, and as such I seek NOT to call on external authorities - unless we are in some already accepted culture of agreement to use terms to point to shared experience.

Reality that reflects resonance with truth of who you truly know and recognise yourself to be, is unconflicted. Call it what you will - or don't call it anything. Our current 'collective' reality has many strands - including 'prison planet', which is only a variation on the theme of the 'Fall', that I prefer to call' The Separation'.

If you can see that belief in covid-terror-threat (that is actually of our powerlessness or lack of defence against terror threat) - can and does operate as IF a fact. Then you have a basis to see that a belief in Separation from truth of love, and of power and of peace, can and does generate a whole world of fragmentation set against itself. That this is 'physically' locked down is a direct relationship with invested identity.

If we are phished of our truth, we can and do react AS IF to regain a stolen identity - and can then act OUT the stealing of an identity under 'moral necessity' running on false premises or indeed promises. That is how the mind is baited to reaction - not just by 'Them' but as its own narrative dictate running faithfully to past experience in which such strategy was set as the necessary survival of persisting in the human condition.

In simple terms we all learn or acquire a mask by which to 'survive' infancy - that further 'adapts' or develops through adolescence to adulthood. What is less obvious perhaps is that the mask is a worldview of largely invisible and unspoken social agreements.

Am I a bereavement counsellor?

Not professionally. I do not seek to first make the problem real and then work out how to resolve it. I look to open the problem as framed to a curiosity in the heart of a free attention - the curiosity of the child that is never absent - but covered over and discarded by the 'learning of the world'.

At the end of all things - when what seemed real is fallen away, a simple question can move in us and bring an answer in like kind. But the end of all things is nigh in terms of willingness for truth - not in time. The very idea of 'thing-in-itself' is the reflecting of 'self-in-itself'. Bubbles and cells and selves are temporary patterns with a whole that has no 'outside' or 'other' as a balancing of inner and outer domains. Our experiencing of both is a gift to ourselves and each other within a greater wholeness - whether we are found in a resonance of communication or weaponise dissonance to support a polarised 'opposition' to an alienated, othered and denied will.

But now I have light, I have the choice or freedom to see differently.

To look on the same 'event or circumstance' and see it from a new place. The 'old place' is not really 'seeing at all' but a complex of thought by which to cover over and replace a true Inherence with 'fine robes' of a self-aggrandisement that turned to a masking nightmare from which there can be no escape but release of a masking sense of self - that is deeply associated with survival.
