Curiosity is innate to being

 Commenter:

Without at all trying to create fright, I’m utterly convinced that a large number of people are now quietly giving up and dying. Of loneliness, isolation, lack of contact and lack of care..oh, and not forgetting depression and economic ruination. Yes, The people are dying now.

As I just retorted into some you tube comment that went death by nocebo,

yes - 'death by voodoo'.

If you do not recognise the power of the mind yet, you are wilfully looking for anything else to hide in.

I met someone yesterday who wanted to be certain of the facts about covid19 as part of going out to ask people if they would be open to being persuaded.

He feels he 'must DO something.

I see that as the problem, and therefore I have my answer.

Otherwise you chase every shadow into every rabbit hole.

Perhaps I will make a list of what I consider to be facts awaiting substantiation under the covid narrative. But not here now. (Don't let truth get in the way of an active story).

Meanwhile I regard it as simple observation that the Economy is under controlled demolition.

The term Economy is far too limited - because our very Humanity and Consciousness is the target of a self-destuctive mind-trap. There are insiders who greatly profit from wars and Crashes, but more than mere profiting, are in a position to reshape and reframe the 'reconstruction'.

This is a different kind of war operating largely within our minds. Except if they were our conscious mind we would not BE susceptible. Many are more than content to be managed and told or controlled by internalised structures of instilled habits - like Skinner's rats. (or Winston's room 101)

So in that sense a cover has been removed to reveal the cage is already installed as conditioned compliance.

My understandings are from direct experience through trauma and spiritual teachings that illuminate the patterns of unconscious dissociation to a quality of recognition at a level of awareness you did not know that you are. But if you seek to pile spiritual teaching on top of a self-evasion, you may become as mad as those seeking to modify human behaviours by coercion and deceit -as if to make a better world. Or indeed a 'Utopia' - (see the series 1 and 2 of the same name).

Locked into a narrative is like being locked into a Model or Theory, as an expression of being locked into self-image or self-concepts and roles that are invested in and reinforced by the mythic representation. As everyone is invested in different parts of a conflicted partiality there isn't much to be said that isn't 'reinterpreted' into the subjective seeking of the minds of others.

If we recognise insanity we must have some spark of sanity from outside its frame or we would believe the role or identity it gave us as unquestioningly true.

The reason I hold for 'don't just do something - stand there!' - is because unless a habit is interrupted you not only do not know the habit is running you, you do not see it is now a choice, and you can make a new choice and in that way grow a new habit or pathway of response.

Freeing from mental slavery is not available to an addict who does not yet recognise the addiction and its true cost. But only because there is no interest in healing that does not validate and reinforce a sense of possession and control - along with being vindicated as right against whatever version of wrong gets your goat.

To be still and know presumes a willingness to put aside or pause the current active convictions.

It also calls for the release of the itch to package, patent and sell insights instead of truly letting them abide and transform you. I used the term addict because we are addicted to our thinking.

"I think", may signify a potential error of mistaken identity.

Who truly is this thinker? A narrative construction?

That you Are, is prior to and coincident to any thought or object of attention within awareness.

Because you are a unique individualised expression, the thought you accept by aligning in it gives you the experience of definition and perspective. As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is - relates to our current self acceptance.

Pathological thinking effectively conflicts with itself and blocks awareness of connection, supply, guidance and support.  This invokes great fear that unless resolved, masks as a separated and locked in sense of self-lack that must seek outside for support and reinforcement.

That we associate in mutually manipulative social masking and coded avoidances presented as 'joining' is not intending to conspire to evade intimacy because it runs as our salvation from all that rises within us from meeting others in ways that 'push our buttons'.

Curiosity for truth is innate to being. To the child that may be covered over with layers of adaptations to a world of threat, demand seemingly false allure. I feel it only right to seek and find the power of your own being, but tragic and futile to seek to take it from others. Likewise any of the virtues. Radical honesty is ultimately a profound self-acceptance. How much of who I am do I hide and judge against in others? Do we live through our own mythic representation or adjusted 'reality'? Or would that more accurately be said as do we limit, filter, distort and lose our life to a narrative that has become internalised and perhaps beyond reach to those who cannot risk its exposure to change? And so must contract and deplete, in a world they can no longer relate through?

#2 (Commenter rants at Descartes)

I recall he claimed animals did not possess a Soul.

This is akin to seeing animals as 'Skinner's rats'

Which has become the basis for the systemic manipulation of human animals by f*cking with our minds as a way to f*ck with our biome. (Look up Carrie Madej for more on biological access to behavioural controls).

Descartes thought is part of the world we perceive - in fact the Cartesian split is in his name.

Regardless your feelings, history is active. You can cancel your version of your world to make a nicer corrected version, but you only put your demons out of view - not really out of mind, and this is why our whack-a-mole approach feeds the problem by driving it to ever more insidious forms of expression and limitation. Indeed as hell on Earth.

Your freedom to disregard Descartes is within your freedom to think as you are truly moved. That you were moved to react as you did indicates a sense of pain without a voice that is represented by much human blindness and indifference to animals.

My sense of Soul is that of extending recognition and meaning to a world of relation. You don't have a Soul; you are Soul. The 'materialist' view is an object model. Within this framework Life is a cannibalistic murder or machine of death. I recommend not using that way of thinking as it opens a way to deeply hurt ourselves, while suffering it as the slings and arrows of outrageous misfortune.
