Reductive physical determinism represents the assignment of Causation to external factors producing physical effects (That extend or multiply a chain of cause and effect).

This negates, discards or downplays the psychic element of a psycho-physical experience - albeit perceived through a dark glass of its own thinking.

Because such a 'consciousness' or definitional posture is socially, culturally and economically normalised, it runs invisible BUT for its effects or fruits of experience.

Yet conflicts, incongruences & dissonances are effectively remapped to support the original thesis of a separated or encapsulated 'self' seeking externally for connection and sustenance as survival and fulfilment within the frame of mortal threat.

The pattern here is of a life-shock by which a mind is split from it true source and nature to operated from a false or mis-taken inheritance - ie from separation trauma associated with fear of pain and of loss, set in rejection, abandonment, treachery & betrayal.

To the post-separation psyche, nakedness is undefended, and shame is an exposure to lack of having, knowing and being - hence the invocation of the masking defences of the means to distance, divert, displace, deny and obfuscate - a mindset we see more readily in others rather than recognise ourself in.

When fear is projected to a 'solution' by which to scape it from our mind, we give the power of mind to the elements and arena of its premise as a gain of function – to boost the mask of 'defences' by sacrifice of 'conflicted' life to external associations or answers.

That this can relieve temporarily makes it expedient as a temporary measure against overwhelm under fear, but as a basis for protecting conflicts from healing, runs a death wish of refusal to love or give & receive a wholeness of being - at 'cost' of invested identity in defences.

Death wish operates on many levels, such as to take many forms, and a collective loss of joy in being collapses to 'normalised' despair framed in psuedo-community that seems to join while maintaining distance against knowing and being known truly.

But we are sharing in the realm of life-shocks and countermeasures that reveal more threat than the conditions they are purported to defend against.

The experience of operation covid - regardless the shaping of our individual pathways of perception and response - was shocking. The countermeasures were also shocking. The consequences on many levels of our participation in these is shocking, and yet while the shock is active, many symptoms are suppressed. It is as we start to heal or regain perspective that the healing phase or release of shock from our body-mind manifests as symptoms of what our current culture attacks as 'disease' caused by alien or external powers.

Such is the scape-value of the war on 'disease', that it has become systemic as an institutional, corporate and financial capture of the mind that made it. The sacrifice of truth in life for idol, model or invested self image renders itself to a false god of possession as control - by which to become dispossessed of all that we have and know and be.

Not in truth! But in concept of minds set in lies given power to usurp our own recognition, and sharing or extension of true with-ness and worth-ship.

What are the respective life-shocks running through the shock-hyped 'pandemic' and its unfolding of coercive and deceitful countermeasures?

Opening perspective on our being - as distinct from enacting countermeasures of learned or acquired self-interest in the frame of what I wrote above, is not a basis to release from responsibility for criminal acts, but the law for correction of error to the restoring of a true peace needs address underlying social and cultural terrain - else it becomes a mechanism for scapegoating collective blame to socially or politically defined 'diseases' that can be arbitrarily framed by the manipulation of narrative or mythic identity, especially in the mask of science, but clearly generating a market in equally manipulative anti-science identities.

 

The Compleat Angler - A Cast Away

 The Compleat Angler - A Cast Away From Being Caught

Value-fulfilment is integral to being (& thus to being you).
Seeking outside ourselves is a world of conflicting or competing values. But the experience arises from a creative 'casting out' and being caught!
Aligning our giving & receiving has an outer aspect - wherever your focus is actively manifesting-such as sport, or writing as a quest-ionic uncovering of 'deeper fishing' by which to undo or release 'being phished'.
Are we ready to be 'realed in'?
or is there something 'out there' that MUST be different than it is, because we made it an image of self-conflict. How many hoops must a man jump through...
That Gorilla suit attention test comes to mind.
Your mission; count how many times the basketball bounces.
Identity contracts to such an external fulfilment as value 'achieved' - excitement! Don't take your eyes off the ball!
A spotlight hides far more than it illuminates.
Such is an attention to a received situation- whether incisively focused or fragmented and diluted.
A Field-awareness is always and already beneath, prior & embracing our harvest of each according to its kind.
 

Non duel awareness is not locked down in conflicts seeking external fulfilment but embracing the richness of polarities that might once have been appreciated as life engendered.
My first angling catch was a perch - a stunningly uncategorisable experience that I didn't know how to respond to. It wasn't properly hooked as it wriggled off the bank back into the lake while I stood there like a boy whose first date says "yes". I regained my wits to run and tell my siblings and parents in the pent up excitement that outweighed the 'got away' - "I caught a fish!". None of them believed me, but laughed at me as if nothing had happened ergo I was nothinged.
Themes of our lives repeat like a tapestry in so many different situations and perspectives.
Now I am caught by a life I thought to run off with as mine to win friends & influence people or at least be someone to someone else.
James Carse writes in 'Infinite Games' that we seek to prove we are not who we think our parents* think we are. You may need to read that again.  (*or other significant placeholders for authority - that are inherently facets of our self).
Casting out is projection. It has been said Man is the measure of all things - or that as a Man thinketh, so he is. Giving and receiving are one without a second, but in time we can seem to scape our unwanted consequence or fruits to others, to world or a life gone wrong-including our bodies.
A Prodigal wasteland is really a reflection of an inner landscape or terrain - like factory pharmed humanimals or laboratory experience.
All truths can be misused or 'taken in vanity' as a permission slip to mask agenda in covert identities judged real. yet all that we deny or 'kill' thereby now lives within us as the shadow to a right to be seen, honoured and accepted.
It is fashionable to say 'everything is connected', as a cutting edge science in search of a Spiritual connection - or value fulfilment. I'd say that nothing can truly be disconnected, but that we die trying, over & over & over again. A resonant integrity of being need take no thought for itself alone and apart, nor teach another they are what we do or don't need them to be.
Balance points of consciousness are more of a fluidity of renewal within flux than a lockdown to an Ideal by which endless hoops are manifested from failure by design.
Biodiversity of consciousness is aligned purpose of joy in being (and thus being you).
Neither forcing inclusion or exclusion as the fish is one with the current flow of living waters.

I didn't set out to copy - but to join with, which for me always involves a tuning into qualities. I don't mimic other's songs, but give them life through my attunement to the spirit of their being through me. But I have appreciated a 'give & take' or dance of qualities through words and meanings of value appreciated and felt in the singing.
Judgement is a killer instinct. I now see that first fish was a greater gift than if I'd netted it to show my score and claim to title. New eyes to see release a tired world else I let baited react engage in futilities of hype-fully framed netting. Not because action is uncalled forth, but because ungrounded reactions block a true Calling - that cannot be defined externally to 'resolve a past in a future' by sacrifice Now!
I drowned a poisoned & dying mouse once - I'd found it on the lawn. There is a spirit that comes into the release that honours the spirit of life in death - when the mind is not 'charged' with the function of control.
