Your voice is welcome here, bullying is not

Various responses into a youtube post by Anna Brees - who has uploaded ordinary people's testimony to her channel.

 ? @peacedreamerable  Anna could have qualified her statement. "Your voice is welcome here, bullying is not, be aware of the intentions and language you use in expressing yourself". Otherwise indeed it can become cancel culture according to who has ownership and control of the infrastructure. When we feel bullied - as by corporate cartels, Media or State - it is easy to react in like kind - but this only allows a momentary hit of self-satisfaction in exchange for feeding the fire. Hate can be easy to understand in terms of hurt, lost, broken or betrayed love, but is impossible to understand as evil that must be eradicated - until there is no one left alive or able to maintain conditions for life.

? @question ade  But the fact is that words can and do deliver hate and hurt - even though a true recognition of sovereignty recognises our own word to ourself is the power that defeats us - when we succumb to suggestions, insinuations and taunts or manipulations of others. Where do we learn to mask over our feelings? As infants meeting and learning a loveless world that we adapt to and become normalised expressions of.

If you insult me, I have learned to go to the heart and listen for the truth, and so I will receive the truth of my own reaction as feedback for my own re-education and reintegration. If you insult a mind set in defence, it will react according to grievance.

The worship of grievance generates righteous offence as a masking in virtue - for virtues are the qualities of true presence lived or extended - and mimicking their forms is a kind of 'cargo cult' appeal.

Anna could have a template response that can state a post is expressing  attack on the person and will not be published - but that a reframing of the point that addresses the issues is welcome. She has the right to set the parameters for her own house-rules and if that is out front - it is honest. But if she merely judges posts in terms of her own confirmation bias - then of course she could generate an echo chamber for snowflakes - but that is not my sense at the moment.

The other side of the coin is if every reactive hate for hate is given air, then the comment noise masks out the signal as a kind of hypoxic hypercalnia ;-)

That also allows trolling to sow doubt and disinformation - not least by faking extremist views that many will recoil from associating with and leave. Extreme feelings are definitely part of what is happening. If they are to find a voice of sharing rather than weaponising, then the call is a for a culture of responsibility. Anna could call for this and it can be grown as a cultural sense of shared worth or value. 

The trained mind of our times is under the illusion that hate can be stamped out, cancelled, eradicated or socially engineered out of our 'normal' of conditioned perception-response. But that is itself a monopoly of hate set in judgements that operate as joyless target and checkbox of regulatory systems that replace humanity with robotic groupthink - AS IF to 'make us safe'!

Nothing that is actively denied can be corrected, healed or released.

Yet denial accuses itself in everyone else by definition.

Releasing grievance from worshipful priority is a true release of self-forgiveness - but none can force correction upon another.

But we can witness from a presence that is not 'attacked and wounded' and teach by example to any who are ready or willing to see. 

We have ideas of invulnerability as armour, but when frequencies of intention pass right through us without any resonant interaction then it does not manifest in your field.

What DOES manifest as experience in our field of expression is showing us more of what is hidden below a masking appearance or 'normal' by which we can engage curiosity of a desire to know the truth - so as to release triggering appearances as a subjection or sense of suffering coercive control - also known as bullying.

The refinement of bullying is a sophisticated mind of deceit by which kindness and concern can be masked in as intent to destroy.

Buyer Beware! - can be extended to vigilance against buying in to anything by reaction - for that is where identity is invested and then protected in the frame it was set. That this 'war upon humanity' is a 'soft war' is nothing to do with any difference in resulting destruction, but only in the means employed. Masking in virtue is set up by targeting and magnifying a fear or evil and generating an identity set in righteousness over it so as to establish it as 'normal' and invalidate any other view.

When a child recoils in fear from an unmasked fellow being, have they not been bullied by parents, who in turn have been bullied by their state and media and peers to  act not on reasoned and informed assessment of risk in costs and benefits, but as an unquestionable dictate - that can and does change at a whimsy - just as Orwell's Big Brother - and for the same purpose; to eradicate the human will in exchange for robotic (hollow) obedience.

Joy and freedom are of a kind. the joy taken in possession and control is a substitution. Releasing the false mind is a relational willingness and the attempt to stamp out relational willingness is the last call to wake to Life to all who care to hear it as their own - and therefore each other's.

question ade:

@Mark Lewis And who's the judge and jury? Everyone is allowed to say what they like, if you feel it's trolling or whatever then just grow up and ignore it. If you feel bullied then perhaps you should be looking at yourself. If you don't like the heat stay the fuck out of the kitchen

? @question ade  Everyone is free to choose, but not to be free of the consequences of their choices - and so we can and do choose to limit and set ourselves in loveless or hateful 'choices' by reaction that had no process of evaluation at the time.

What is missing in your presumption to invulnerability is compassion. perhaps your freedom from hurt, pain or conflict as anything to do with you is your willingness to dump it on everyone else. Those who successfully lock down in self-isolation and social distancing can through rocks from their own greenhouse under the belief nothing can come back that they cannot handle?

I think Orwell said that freedom is being able to say what others don't want to hear - but I don't see that as any right over what others by THEIR choice, hear or do not accept.  When another finds the way to speak to the difficult, the dangerous or the denied, it carries some sense of true willingness brought present - often as a sense of risking personal vulnerability from a love of truth or indeed of humanity.  I do not receive a sense of you as aware of others as being like yourself - regardless the different packaging or personality traits, and so I see you in your kitchen as a warrior setting forth against and over anything that would hold you back.

If you have no sense of who you are and what your acts will bring you - then you set yourself into consequences unwitting - as if you are right - and so the world must align with you. If you were in the cartels and billionaire's clubs of the day you might embody your intent as 'the people are unworthy of a voice and must locked out of the kitchen'. In their kitchen we are to be served up or reconstituted as worthy tools to the right to power over life.

What would it feel like to receive my own post as directed to me?

What would your post be if it set the measure of your receiving - or 'consequences'?

Blame culture denies, blocks and undermines communication. Responsibility in truth is owning what is truly yours - and releasing what truly has no rightful belonging to you. The 'ego' always takes new insights and subverts them to weaponised and marketising narratives. But hate is not a true currency of exchange or joining or meeting - no matter how intensely an identity is forged in it or against it. For it is a derivative currency 'normalised' by usage, imposed upon our natural presence.

While you WANT it to be real for you, you set the measure of your own receiving. This is an expression of your freedom  but is it what you truly WANT?

? @tj antipas  They are being sidelined by local power. The 'new normal' is global and local as systemic regulatory dictates and enforcements. However, it is being incentivised and insinuated, through the profiling, targeting and manipulation of your fears - as a sort of sophisticated Room 101 (Orwell's 1984). Orwell had no hope or indicated no hope of passing through or transcending fear. 1984 was a modern rendering of a crucified innocent without any awareness of the transcendent and therefore of the yielding of the mind of judgement to the Source-Nature of our being.

The time is always now, and yet time can waste as well as being wasted. To be truly present now is to yield the mind of invested judgements to the quality and movement or stirring of being in its own terms.

If we act out of sync with truth we will tie ourselves in knots and mask our truth in levels of complexities that result a futility of problem solving that merely restates the problem in shifting forms of self-evasion.

the solution is in our heart's willingness to listen within - rather than support a masked agenda in search of solutions for the mask at cost of truth.
