 Anti-austerity Corbyn on track to lead Labour Party – YouGov poll

In this RT article shadow minister Timms is quoted: “If it's accepted, as I believe, that it was economic credibility that was our big problem in the general election, I don't think a victory for Jeremy Corbyn would help us to overcome that"






Economic credibility is the problem? Financial credibility is the problem.The usurping of our financial system by the moneylender in the Template is an expression of the usurping of our currency of true worth by a false basis.
A true Humanity is not a set of ideas, techniques, methods or models. But will embody these within an honest relationship. Hardly anyone in the public eye demonstrates a willingness for relationship and communication - operating the mask of coercion and propaganda - so Corbyn immediately stands out as real. Perhaps there is willingness to uncover and embody an integrity of being amidst and despite the systemic corruptions pervading every field of human affairs.

Robert Brynin said predictably...
I hope Corbyn does win. It will render Labour unelectable for a long time.

But at least there might be an advocacy for the population against the shadow government of financiers, corporates and captured or corrupted regulators. Corbyn demonstrates humanity - most others in the political arena are puppet actors dancing to a fear-based agenda. They cannot see humanity without awakening their own - which would ruin their career. But if needs must a self serving deceit will mimic a cherry picked version in order to recapture the sheep - or use the Greek model to destroy them.
There IS no Labour and there IS no Tory - for both are used by leverage of power to further its agenda. Politics has been superseded by a social engineering that itself is emerging from the shadow in such as TTIP - which intends to legitimize the power that currently operates by capturing or subverting institutions, laws and media narratives so as to predate upon and prevail over. I think they use terms like 'full spectrum dominance'. War on humanity calls forth witnesses TO humanity.

NHS falls prey to the politics of perception, invests in maintaining deception.

NHS Hospitals Spent £2m On Gagging Orders For 50 Potential Whistleblowers

The emotion-backed opinion and demand that has been sold to the public as freedom to choose, market force efficiency and accountability for 'delivery', made into policy and legislation and enforced with self righteous blame and shame methods ... is coming home to roost.

Instead of a real relationship in which needs are discerned, and met proportionately with due priority, we have blind systems that divide everything into disconnected parts and then attempt to join them together in such a way as to tick the right boxes. We have people working so as to appear to be working or so as to account for their work in ways that undermine and disrupt their work.
That it is not bedlam is only because underneath all this nonsense, people actually care. They also care NOT to be vilified, penalised, deprived of funds or employment, and so mostly, common sense and uncommon discernment, are withheld from open communication.

Surely, the attempt to make humankind - and treat humankind in the image of the automaton, is simply a reflection of a certain kind of thinking - that itself is a loveless mechanical mode of manipulating externals with no regard whatsoever for the truth.

Now this mentality may seek to define truth and indeed prove that if there is such, it is current best theory or un-understandable scientific esoterica, but I am talking of the truth that can be felt, can be shared, can be honoured and trusted - and without which no human society or sanity is possible - indeed insanity depends on such truth to exist as a distortion - for it is a distortion of SOMETHING SANE.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity. (From Yeats: the Second Coming)

What is the 'Second Coming' but the dawning in our mind of what is already in it but had been denied for self-seeking vanities? A Prodigal remembering.
And what is the emergence of the 'beast' but the exposure of the basis of a lovelessness which substitutes for a real relationship?

'It' will seek to apply ever more controls and rules and manipulations to 'engineer' a solution, but living relationships are not like mechanical systems that can be redesigned from an outside view, but must be rebuilt in trust and honest communication from within.

'Insanity who really cares, propaganda - all is phoney' sang Dylan. Opinion is a mask, we need to establish the conditions in which real communication can occur. We must grow trust from an honest account of where we really are - rather than presentations that meet 'correctness'. maybe it simply starts in our mind within ourself - but must extend as discernment and prompt call forth, or we deny the answers to our need.

Margaret Thatcher - joining in hatred? hating to love?

The following comment arose from an article that was itself commenting on an edition of the TV program 'Question Time' that had been devoted to the passing and the legacy of Margaret Thatcher.



Opinions - even if finding agreement - do not become true.
Willingness to truly listen to that which opposes or undermines one's own pet theories, opens the mind to be more receptive to a wholeness of life that cannot be divided up and fought over.

The personalising of such contest, makes sport of  what could actually allow communication to occur. The market feeds the appetites that seek personal and private gratifications over shared well-being, and the mentality that manipulates the mind to presume to be a determiner of 'truth' rather than a beholder of truth, seeds war and division in all that it does.

Corrections occur when they must - because even a deluded self interest cannot maintain itself amidst actual collapse. But the way in which they occur can seed the mentality of hatred and division, so as to infect the new.

Ultimately, the change is occurring through us all, as one, yet is accepted in some before others and is interpreted and therefore experienced differently according to our identifications.

The individual is not independently authoritative, but such a dream 'lives on' while we wish it were true and interpret and react accordingly.

We do what we can with what we have. And the fears and guilts that obstruct true vision are not something we have control over while we experience them outside ourselves as the 'hated enemy'  indeed the 'saviour'.

Confusion about what we are and what life is, will continue to manifest split minded decisions and solutions that seed problems.
Loving to hate is hating to love - and this is the hatefulness that is unconsciously nurtured in self righteous or self gratifying delusion.
Who is without sin - let them cast the first stone.

Who really IS the being that we called Margaret Thatcher (or by any other name?). She is identical to all of us - not in form - but in essence. There ARE no exceptions.

To meet the Need of our Times

This is a comment into one of many articles on Eastleigh by election (British politics)
As I say below - I don't address that level - but while in the arena of an article about our political, social and economic society, I felt some thoughts arise and let them write.

- - -

Do our opinions constitute a process of discernment of truth? Do we put their opinion aside in order to see more clearly or simply seek support and ammunition for what we have already decided /been induced to think is  own thinking? Maybe such conditioning is already voting for something else to think for us? Democracy needs to be more than mob, but do we know how to communicate in ways that are self revealing and inspire trust instead of trial by combat?

Yet underneath it all something tends to work - enough at least to get from one thing to another - because here we are! And yet a superficial self-seeking unconsciousness piles up unpaid debts of more kinds than money. But at least we can pass on something to our children and their children. Perhaps opening such a can of worms is part of a deeper need for renewal. One cant just rebrand with a makeover and expect to stay in touch with reality - whatever that may be.

An individual who wants conflicting things and becomes fearful, can react in ways that compound confusion and induce guilt and yet more fear until something really breaks down and then they can calm down and honestly question their own thinking - all of it - even at its roots.  Without listening, isn't our mind is simply a conditioned defence mechanism  that can readily be manipulated to reaction? But is that just a front or a mask to keep the unwanted at bay?

Can such as we are, find a unified perspective within ourselves that has something to gift rather than trying to get? Or will such essentially be forced on us by having to 'adjust' to a reality that no longer supports our vanities? The big tar barrel that shuts up Messrs Tweedledee-dum is usually overwhelming force. I like to think one day it could be the true silence of not knowing - and needing to be the desire for help that uncovers what we need to know.

To meet the need of our times, we need to wake up and embody the characteristics that are missing or lacking. Trust and honesty being chief among them. Ultimately I don't care what packaging it comes in, I feel we need to relate together in a different way.
Vested interests that have power to protect their part against needed change are the last to come on board, and the mind that thinks to sit on the fence and make opinionated entertainments of life is one such.

Perhaps Tolkien was prescient in seeing the little people as the ones who would relinquish power. It cannot come from the 'top' down.
As long as we try to work out our mental health in the problems outside of us - it wont work except to keep those aspects of our mind that we hide, from being healed or wholed.

Not especially about UKIP or Eastleigh - but the Movement of change pervades all such instances - often under our noses unnoticed.

Brave New World

I believe we need to re-evaluate much more than cutting costs and releasing an overbearing state. I believe we need to discover a saner basis for living together on this planet. Workability is not mere expediency - it is the hallmark of wisdom. To invite and support processes of trust and communication  - in a society that has eroded its own foundations - is a good start.

I envision a process of change and cultural renewal is underway that can not be the continuation of the politics of the last century. Economic constraints will be a constraining factor - but desire and joy for life must be the motive force. I believe this will become more obvious as it is seen that the old approaches simply can no longer work.

Everyone presumes that structure is fixed - but when the spirit goes out of structure it becomes a force against new life instead of serving it. Renewal is necessary - but it has to come out of a process of our own lives and cant just force 'good ideas' upon life.

There is much about our mentality writ large on western society - that is mean minded, self seeking and destructive or at least self undermining. Blaming others is a mechanism to let everyone else remain unchanged - but what we need is a true process of education.

Political changes can express and yet also nurture an organic process of change. There is a need for a deeper level of self honesty and responsibility than many may want. A true accounting must start from a better place than the distorted models that are not at all serving us well.
Nick Clegg has set a tone - now respond by joining - by engaging - not with the cynical politics of mere opinion or managed despair - but with desire to discover what our times are bringing forth.

Change can be creatively or gracefully cooperated with - or it can be like seismic shifts that undermine even our fundamental structural securities. Because of the debt funded spin bubble - we are still like the cartoon character who has run off the cliff - but has yet to look down.

I am optimistic because of the nature of the human spirit- not because I believe human selfishness has somehow disappeared. Fear is NOT the basis upon which to make decisions - especially concerning potentially fearful outcomes.

Out of the Loop

As our democracy has in so many ways become a farce with politicians spinning for position and privilege in an ever declining pretense to any real power for change, it is surprising that many are more than twice shy of getting involved?

The manipulation of perceptions is not the way to do business or politics or personal life - except as a short term deceit with long term consequences. Of course citizens use the same means to serve their own personal agendas and this is one reason why society has fragmented into alienated sections on so many levels.

There is a 'rightness of being' that can be felt and can communicate itself that is a different foundation from the self righteousness that we otherwise attempt to employ against a sense of 'wrongness of being'. In the latter is all the stuff of a world gone mad. In the former is life restored one step at a time to a sanity that the mad have by definition - forgot. It really is and feels alive - without needing hype and extra stimulation to prop it up or fuel it.

If a new movement arises - it is felt as a shift or change at a deeper level than re-branding the old with a bit of 'creative accounting' thrown into its makeup. This is a universal feeling and calls for aligning with a greater good than any of the personalities, parties or even policies involved. The willingness to work together is born out of the recognition of trust as essential to our mutual good. Despite history.
There will be those who still try to save only there own from ruin and this does undermine trust. We need to identify the mentality at work and address it honestly and not knee jerk into self righteous withdrawal from the larger process of communication that IS society.
There will be little appetite to get involved in politics from those who have been conditioned to consume and display as the expression of freedom.

It is to be seen if this political change sparks a resurgent willingness to engage in real discussion, participation and support for social and political change beyond a desire making life comfortable enough to go back to sleep again. For whatever the political activity of a citizen, most may yet be politically neutered by the indoctrination of the illusion of freedom that is fed out to 'consumers' at much deeper levels than most realize - otherwise we would not all have woken to find such a nightmare unfolding as it is appearing in terms of negative social change caused by the breakdown of the capacity to control life 'on my terms' - or indeed trust the balance such desire for power in market based models.
The sanity that underlies wisdom is nothing new - but the sense of life that is discovered by following it is indeed life felt anew.
To be wholehearted in  life is a wonderful thing - do not wait for politicians, but do be part of the health and heart of this world - and learn to discern the true and the false. They are seemingly mixed up because our minds are mixed up. Real communication opens a larger circle in which apparent differences can become workable in common purpose and a cause for a deepening appreciation of life.

Am I pleased with the election result (UK)

I am encouraged and hopeful that such shared purpose undertaken with good will can bring diverse perspectives toward a simpler more practical and therefore more unified Britain.

The nature of truth demands the willingness to release personal gain in favour of a shared or common good. This must be demonstrated by the leaders to become credible and desirable to the nation at large. The sooner this shift becomes a social change the more clear will become the positive steps that will lead us from out of our own spin, and into a direct appreciation of the life we share in this country and the part we play in our world.

The personal characteristics that are called for in the leadership are more important than the historical policies that are associated with them. To be able to remain in communication amidst passionate differences is a truly creative endeavour - and the way in which the outcome is arrived at is as important as the outcome itself - for an honourable process of communication - listening and speaking for the sake of a greater good than one's own personal agenda - is absolutely the way to discover that rigid minds in dominance or subordination to each other are not really strong - but joined hearts in the best discernible next step - are.

The tribal identities represent the aspect of the ego sense that gets its sense of self from difference - and from exploiting difference to raise its own. This is not an enlightened or truth loving way of living - in fact it will - taken to its extreme - cost us the earth - as well as depriving us of what could be discovered instead.

The time of rational ideologies that attempt to define and impose various truths without regard for true workability is also an exhausted attempt to engineer society or indeed allow mere market force to engineer society. For both of these are of the intent to manipulate others - or indeed each other.

The real deficit that must be corrected is the deficit in trust. Growing, maintaining and extending trust is a fundamental key in the rewakening to a freely embraced responsibility and the keeping of the peace.

It is not surprising that dire circumstances set the stage for such changes - but the change itself remains in the realm of the courage and conviction of the heart. In this we all play our part.
The heart is not the superficial emotional manipulator or subverter of reason, but is the unified intelligence that discerns and guides amidst variables and apparent complexities that otherwise effectively keep us blinkered at best and blind at worst.

Good housekeeping is not rocket science and a good home is more than a house. Our belonging in life, in our country and in our locality is not merely a definable externality but a participation in real relationship.

The view of the problem - seen through the problem - is insurmountable and we tend to focus only on tiny parts at a time and either live small - or shift ceaselessly from crisis to crisis.

But the willingness to take a step in a truly shared trust will always a discover the next step - and in time, a clearer perspective of the true nature of that which remedies the true cause of diverse problems.

It is not clever politicians we need - but wise ones - and wisdom is a gift freely bestowed to any who are willing to be truly honest with themselves and each other.

There is nothing that manipulators will not twist to their own usage - but the spirit of true communication is anathema to lies for it is more than simply information or words - it is an active presence of true authority.

The media are also called to serve more than the self survival that seems to be derived from the fuelling or feeding off of conflict and drama for the attention grabbing attention and sales or ratings.

Do I expect this government to immediately get wise? No - but in their willingness to share a common purpose may well be the foundation of a resurgence of wisdom in workable governance amidst the perils of the macro-corporate economy’s unchecked dominance and the ignorance of the value of the micro economy as it has been progressively eroded and denied its natural opportunities of creative expression by a false promise of a techtopian consumerism.

Debt is a modern brand of slavery. Who or what are the Masters of the modern debt ridden world? What are the actual relationships beneath the apparently separate ‘bodies’ and institutions. What is the basis of our ignorance such that we are so easily kept ignorant? We need more than cuts and ongoing mitigation of pain for the unfortunate. We need to get real. We need to ditch the attempt to rule by deception. Not just this Government - but as a society. Why? - because reality has caught up with us - and given us a real opportunity. Is this not good news despite the pains of readjustment and rehabilitation?

"Do Liberal Democrat policies represent change?"

The nature of the changes that I feel are and will increasingly be called forth are not yet within the vision of any political movement, but there are steps that begin to open to that change just as there are steps that continue to act as if the past is still the present.
Policies are a starting point and some of the Lib Dem policies have merit - as have some of other parties policies.
What I would hope for from the Lib Dems is a willingness to bring some fresh air in the way in which politicians conduct business and the way in which they relate to the public - and to the media.
Whatever party is elected will have to engage an extremely difficult job and the best way to deal with it is not to bluff and bluster with spin and reviews and reports and targets and statistical outcomes that mean sweet nothing and delay and obstruct the functionality of many services from running well.
The best way is to engage in real and constructive communication with the spectrum of social and political perspectives and having assessed what steps are possible and positive - to take them without apology or fanfare and do so with a positive demeanour because they are steps we can actually take together.

The new ideas that can offer intelligent response to our many levelled crisis have to find channels of expression and begin to register as a real movement that aligns with life and not merely private gain at common cost. This is not currently feasible in the Labour or Conservative camps because they are locked into C20th politics which is largely an ineffectual front on a relatively powerless job in so many respects. Who and what really call the shots? Where is themoney and the power - and where is the voice that can speak without its master telling it what to say?

The loosening of our minds and the widening of our possibilities has to find a way to happen for creative change that isn't just change for its own sake or to make a mark,
There needs to be a sense that politics is possible for all kinds of approaches and ways of living together on this Earth - so that people across the spectrum engage in political and social change in common intent and endeavour.

I feel the Lib Dem vote is a vote for their desire to serve the trust that will be given them as best as they may- and to break the stranglhold of the two party system that has a diminishing credibility.

Will the Lib Dems live up to any of my hopes? Not if we have unrealistic expectations from a consumer-like dependency. It isn't the politicians who lead change - but Individuals working in society.
It may be that any party taking office is essentially told what it can and cant do amidst extreme constraint.
Lib Dems may be less likely to pretend they are actually in power and more willing to open conversations that we are not engaging and which must begin to engage.

They have my vote - and I reject the notion of being told to vote to keep the 'other lot' out.The Berlin Wall could never come down. But it did.
