Doing the very thing we accuse in the Other

Commenter:

 That’s an irony that would be lost on many people, I think. As Eleanor Roosevelt said: Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people....

 

 

I prefer to leave out the 'personal greatness' judgement and simply see that one can stop short as reaction within masking personae; or look past that in recognition of events as contexts or conditions in which such personal patterns of reaction are triggered or set into motion, or see beneath all symptoms to the underlying structure of beliefs, narrative definitions and ideas that are actively given investment of identity, allegiance and support.

The invested idea of vaccination is of the same archetype as sacrifice to gods or limiting, mitigating or escaping, feared outcome or consequences by pre-empting in part or onto scapegoats or surrogates.

There are endless examples of this attitude that effectively mean we do unto ourself some part of what we fear, expect or believe Other does to us.

It also operates as doing the very thing we accuse in the Other - while claiming self-exceptional moral justification or necessity.

That the 'power in the world' is investing unlimited resources to reset the mind and install a new operating system suggests to me that idea is being used as weapon, leverage and control. In other words a masking manipulation over the truly Current.

 

My appreciation of Mind is that in truth there is no limit, edge or measure - excepting what we give and receive.

Insofar as I have responsibility for thought, I can recognise the measure of my giving (or the ideas I am sharing by acting from them), by the results or fruits. Means an ends, sowing and reaping, garbage in; garbage out.

The recourse to mind or world magic as a means to generate outcomes is essentially identity invested in the lie - and the father of it. That delivers in like kind. The mistaken sense of private power presumes to be immune from the spell cast out onto others. But everyone is their own casting director and cast.

As we judge so are we judged, and yet the choice to judge splits the mind, such as to seem to become the arbiter of meanings, that filter and distort communication as an internalised and invisible structure that frames and directs thought and action as driven necessity or tyranny, until the judgement is recognised and released.

The idea of controlling communication as a systemic imposition replicates this, but in the broadest sense of the term, Life Is Communication - even as the shared focus of the attempt to stamp it out from a presumption of control.

I think it was Archimedes who said 'give me a lever big enough and I will move the world!'. But any fulcrum has to rest as the pivot of leveraging one side to effect the amplified movement of the other. A major error in the development of science is that of presuming a virtual modelling mind as the reality itself to which life is then sacrificed, coerced into and invested identity in.

To experience being 'locked down' in a masking made 'real' is to be distanced from all that truly lives and from the capacity to recognise life in love. How 'safe' is that? Downloading Consciousness to a machine thinking representation is trading the Felt qualities of Soul for a virtual representation of self and world

The leveraging of attention and intention for the growing and maintaining of such a focus is of a heavy investment set against a feared outcome. We call it our survival response.
