Blaming Fragmentation

Its to the theme of 

Blaming fragmentation

The descent into blame is really the revealing of the underlying 'world disorder'.

Dumping guilt to mitigate unowned or unfaced pain.

We use guilt to manipulate self and others - praise and blame. Boom and bust. Self-inflation and addictive dependency.

The current framing of 'humans' as physically determined and hackable machine-animals is itself a guilting denial of love by which gaslight can project its Big Screen - that is notable for its joyless and hollow parody of life - but for 'joy' taken in vengeance, 'joining' in hate against the hate target.

But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."

"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.

"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here.

~ Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Unless we recognise our own insane or dissociated and driven thinking, we have no grounded reference point from which to truly choose anything.

That we are psycho-physical might be more apparent to the physically defined rationalist in such times. But everyone wants their stolen normal back. Doc give me anything to make this go away so I can get back to sleep.

I tweeted a couple of extracts from a book today: Here's one:

Self-medication

"And so, in our efforts to avoid pain or discomfort, whether emotional or physical, we have come up with many ways of numbing ourselves to the discomforts of life. For numbness maintains the comfort zone. We might also say that we have developed many ways to remain in balance or to avoid states of imbalance by maintaining a relative level of unconsciousness. This entire process of numbing ourselves so as not to feel may be termed self-medication. Again, it must be stressed that this process of self-medication is not necessarily a conscious or deliberate process. In fact, it is more often done unconsciously or reactively. But self-medication arises from the reactive drive to maintain the comfort zone at all costs. It is the return to the comfort zone through the eradication of awareness rather than the eradication of resistance.

The nature of masking denial of underlying conflict is its masking and projection. The 'joining in hate' serves to boost the mask of a tacit or covert id - taking its power from the act of blame-hate - often masking as the delivery of care, but also stark terrorism.

Self-hating humans are not the human being. Hate substitutes guilt for love to be driven as a 'hungry ghost' for there is no substitute for love no matter how much you possess & control.

I don't pit lawful accounting against uncovering and addressing thought disorders in ourselves. The attempt to fix them in the Other is the stark projection of denied guilt & attack running the convergent agendas of the dispossessed - because there is one error from which all the rest follow, that remains the signature of all of them no matter what mutating variants of shifting defences against true disclosure.

The addict model offers a way out from the evil power worship set in undying grievance.

But we will experience life as being done to us by others while we give power away to get rid of it as blame. Its quite a hit at first, but demands repeating to the point of hollow, numb & utterly desolate.

Bottoming out? Whatever it takes.

Many choose death to escape pain of life, some choose to die fighting against it, some abide through it to uncover truth that heals - even amidst the dying.

What is it that cannot abide to live a lie once revealed?

Something true.

We make our decisions for our own reasons but often frame in justifictions on the fly.

(Image of "that's my story and I'm sticking to it" with a fly stuck to the flypaper of its current narrative dictate).

Self-honesty to our true feelings. All of it.
