Ideas, Ideals and Idols can be dangerous

This reflection was seeded by the following comment:

Jeremy Craig-Weston

People are dangerous and any political system is only as good and as honest as the people who operate and administer it, in too any respects the Blair project, (actually just yet another McKinsey & Company project,) was all about removing government and governance from from accountable democratic control but was also successful at corrupting an entire generation of Labour politicians.

Too often the people here eulogizing the merits and worth of some idealized and kind of fantasy capitalism sound almost exactly like those former communists I met in Eastern Europe after the wall came down who who were equally disappointed that communism too never quite delivered on it's promises and expectations.

Meanwhile back here on planet Earth life goes on.

Ideas can be dangerous. Integrity of thought, word and deed is as 'good' as it gets.

The minds of people can be invested in masking narratives by which to seem to be what they are not, or seem to lose what they are. Ideals can substitute for the living witness and the empirical fact to operate as models to which life is sacrificed, and as such as idol. But if the symbol is read for its origin in the living, then the map and model is brought to a truly current appreciation, and recognised as effect or result and not cause. But to the mind invested in idols, the truly living has been masked over, and dissociated from, to perceive a chaos that would infect or threaten its order, and so order stamps fear as control over fear of loss of connection, support and guidance. Locating or addressing life rather than dissociating to a mapping out of conditioned responses, is of a transparency to an integrity of being that we do not make, mask in or manufacture, for there is peace in it. 'It takes one to know one' is a very practical and immediate feedback to where we are living from - the movement of life, or its masking inhibition. That we seek for what truly belongs to us - as attributes of our very being, is not wrong, but where we seek and the means and manner in which we seek, becomes a perversion of all that we thought to gain for our self as a life split off from its own being, in a world of the attempt to limit the loss, mask over the fear and pain, and redefine such a world as normal, so as to persist in allegiance to an imaged self, set in a broken or denied past, seeking vindication, vengeance, and to be crowned 'Real'. False premises deliver false profits and we follow them to a self-fulfilling revealing of their starting place. perhaps to know it for the first time. Power given to the world is the forgetting and masking out of the Living of which the world is and expression and reflection of. And this corruption generates after its kind. Those whose minds are fitted to 'Caesar' or power in the world, give to idol and ideal what is due to a living discernment, and appreciation. IE: They cant see past the mask of a world in which they think to possess power for their sense of private self control. The complexity of our entanglement in the mask of fear and control cannot be overstated. But the aligning to integrity of being allows a discerning of the masked out as a reintegrative movement of our being - which is not IN the body-bagged mind of a separate agent, but is the living Terrain or Field of which our psycho-pathogenic model depends on, even as it claims 'genetic control' over the expression of a Living Earth.

Little Black Censored to Jeremy Craig-Weston

The people here are those often snootily referred to as "you lot".

'Them' is an easy mistake to project as if a singular 'group' identifies the exclusion or exception.

I read it as saying, 'I'm new here, and see a lot of opinion I don't support'.

Anyone could say that most anywhere excepting in a groupthink echo chamber. Groupthink doesn't belong to any particular narrative identity.

I expect there are a lot of people here because it is linked from lockdownsceptics which is some level of hub for some of the current news and perspectives in the intended lockdown of the human mind by coercion and deceit. People who are disturbed seek to understand so as to resolve conflict, but the nature of deceit is to set mindtraps of impossible or self-contradicting terms in which to struggle. Part of recognising and releasing our own otherwise hidden narrative dictate, is the willingness to look where it would not previously have allowed. Notice the many who only feed on 'mainstreamed curation'. Nothing stops them searching the Net for expanded perspective of question and answer, but their own narrative beliefs and dictates.
