To Be or No Bees?
Industry Whistleblower Claims This (wi-fi) is What’s Really Killing Honeybees
If this waveband of emf is a critical or major factor then there are places on Earth where it is not prevalent - indeed even in US around radio telescopes. So studying the bee population in such areas may help to bring clarity. But the toxic load is another term for too far out of alignment. And the bee is a symbol of working together, as well as of going forth to pollinate flowering beings - without which we could not live here.
Note that new forms of light transmitting wireless digital communication are being developed that may replace current versions.
The mind always tries to crystalize blame elsewhere - while that role is given as its purpose. 'Making sense of our world' is condescendingly used to denote primitive man with his magical and religious stories, by an apparently 'rational' supremacy that has essentially 'discovered' its place at the top of the pyramid of life. Its grasp of 'reality' is no less a grasp on power than any other human politic. But the nature of a split mind is that when it 'succeeds' in victory, it discovers it has attacked, hollowed and undermined itself all along and must serve life from a willingness to release the identity in the illusion of power.
In the 'meanwhile' beneath and within the appearances of power and control are the very hates and fears we thought to eradicate or deny. Like shadow power operating through the trojan horse of our own pet theories and projects.
One of which is to replace life with a manual system of control - for life is a relational - that is psychic-emotional relationship with forms of consequence - and that relationship is the true context of our existence and not a form to exploit.
The thinking of relational avoidance is able to mask in the forms of life without revealing its intent as hateful. By subverting and replacing our thinking with signal jamming thoughts we lose the feeling awareness of our being and our true belonging and take on the rogue or negative ego of a separated and threatened existence. This is the open cheque predisposition to being usurped and exploited by external power - for we have turned our back on our own and become identified in false context.
Is this the tipping point? Is this where Earth Consciousness aligns receptive willingness to recognize and release the phase of self-differentiation to reintegrate Herself - or be recognized by our own choice as not embracing Life on Earth and thus be released from being tangled up in relationship we never recognized or embraced anyway - no matter what was offered?
The good v evil narrative is the primary splitting device by which to avoid or delay receptive acceptance and operate 'separatively'. While we each discern and navigate our relational focus in the world, the setting of judgements to coerce or conform reality prevents the unique meaning and sharing of Life free-willingly. What is called for is not new candidates to cast as evil in our world but a deeper willingness to challenge our reality presumptions and honestly deeply and free-willingly listen or be open to relationship of a living communication - rather than a fixed focus in forms that have acquired set meanings in which the avoidance of relationship and intimate communication or 'knowing' is maintained.
Is this writing a gift from Life to the willing? It is entirely your freedom to listen in the heart or listen to what passes as your own thinking so as not to hear. True thought joins us with Creation - which is 'joined' or an interrelated and expansive whole. False thinking 'joins' in the idea of being separate from everything you sense, feel and know - so as to judge it, and seek control over it.
Is a sting-less bee merely a fly? Would we live differently without a hidden back door access to the 'power' of intent to hurt? Jesus lived that way. The Idea he embodies did not take - though it didn't entirely fail either - for it has to work with what is brought against it to open a greater perspective upon what seems to be true. The Idea is always with us - regardless the blocking tactics or the mimicking mask of associating the form without the purpose and splitting a version that is effectively false currency or signal jamming. The discernment of the Holy Spirit is simply your true discernment held in trust while you play out the idea of divide and rule.
Communication has been turned on its head. Communion is the carrier wave of any real communication - but strategic necessity dictates the use of communication to preserve distance such that a trickle leaks through to be fed on by a denial that has to have something to deny to persist in seeming to exist. Even the avoidance of relationship operates entirely within Relational Being - and if there is life entangled in it - then there is a capacity to know itself received. Nothing else will 'make' anyone listen than the extension of a fundamental honesty of acceptance for being without strings attached.
Suppressed symptoms eventually rise in displaced and multiple complexities. If we don't give acceptance to the movement of life within us - we will not have it for each other and our World - and we will blame something that keeps us from a deeper sense of conflict that we do not have any confidence to heal - because we are cut off from the communioned sense of being by a self-protective reflex - operating mechanically.
When habits are recognized as habits they are no longer habits - but choices.

"what’s gone wrong and who is to blame?"
Coalition Britain: how has David Cameron affected the UK's reputation?
Few dispute that the UK has lost influence on the world stage – but what’s gone wrong and who is to blame?
When I read the heading - and particularly the sub headline - which titles this entry, I felt no call to read further - for anything predicated on such basis is inherently meaningless or insane.
- - -
"what’s gone wrong and who is to blame?"
This sort of poor excuse for 'thinking' is the nature of the 'problem.
Clarify the definitions - the foundational lens through which we cognize, and all else reveals itself.
Investing in "what’s gone wrong and who is to blame?", may operate in the guise of self protection or an expansion of the capacity to control or manipulate an outcome and thus everyone may willingly blind themselves to the whole - and their integral part within it - in favour of a self-assertive 'divide and rule' mentality that is essentially at war with Life because it is at war on one's self.
There IS a natural honesty of being that CAN be experienced THROUGH willingness and desire to have it. Although the act of exclusively focussing upon or 'seeing'. "what’s gone wrong and who is to blame?" will provide a script of self-justification - a justifiction - in which the OTHER or the EXTERNAL carries the major "blame", it simply operates as a deceit by which to choose against the true of one's being and SEEMING to 'get away with it'.
However the symptoms of DIS-EASE are packaged, toxic debt is the false currency operating as guilt - backed by the FEAR-standard. To base our identity in fearful and shameful - BLAMEFUL - self-definition is to GUARANTEE war, scarcity, deprivation, dysfunction, loss - oh the list goes on but you get the drift.
To drift into a negative or self-fragmenting disposition is a result of NOT living consciousness responsibility. However, we can never truly LOSE our being and it will pick us up the moment we open to listen and integrate with it. Responsibility is a NOW-ability of response, from re-cognition - from a fresh take - from a fresh take - from a fresh take.
Or one can defend a 'point of view' that honestly evaluated, has no true foundation in your joy. Choice is the nature of our human existence and disguising choice within deceitful manipulations is ONE of our CHOICES. One CANNOT change what one first does not OWN. The blame game guarantees non-ownership of false definitions through a sort of negative version of 'pass the parcel'. It works to keep us in the dark. It is a choice made IN the dark. But now you have read this you are within the responsibility of your conscious choice. You are not 'victim' to conditioning excepting you have yet to honestly acknowledge its operation through the use to which you put your mind. Live from a truly integrative disposition and KNOW your participance.

Divide and rule operates within our minds, as our choice
'Divide and rule' operates in our minds, under our noses such that we choose to limit ourselves, become hostage or victim to circumstance and then express powerlessness in destructive ways. This point was brought out when
My comment:
vardarac said:
Everyone, innocent and guilty, rich and poor, everyman and politician, is lumped together under the tribe of "West" or "East", "Right" or "Left." Hate and violence will come to those who never had any real control over the circumstances.
I see this, at present, as the biggest problem with humanity - We like to simplify our enemies into groups that include wide swaths of people that have nothing whatever to do with our grievances.
My comment:
Personalizing an issue invokes a primitive reaction that shuts down
communication in fight or flight modes on one level or another. So to
become free of this 'love to hate' mentality, we have to be willing to
take a step back from opinion, identity and reaction and identify the
mentality at work in ourselves.
It could be said that the most cunning, work behind the scenes to set up and work both sides of every conflict. The personalized reactions merely programmed thereby. If one can see it in others - then one can start recognizing it in one's self.
This of course is not the direction that self-righteousness wants to take.
The conceptual control mentality is so normal to most of our living that we do not recognize we are enslaved - nor that beneath the such a mentality, we are making choices that 'give our power away' and identify with victimhood and limitation as a means to get something we believe we want.
The breakdown of such consciousness is part of waking up - because it becomes intolerable and impossible to maintain such 'unconsciousness' of one's actual consciousness. So realignment is inevitable. The way in which we experience life in all its changes, is fundamentally determined by our self-definition. Using the 'evil' out there to define a relative 'good' in here, is a primitive denial and displacement mechanism. This has to yield or give way to a self-honesty.
If one plays mind-games without integrity and believes them, there is no foundation, and sanity is at cost of truth instead of its embodiment in your unique presence.

Responsibility for our thoughts - not blame!
I’ve just bumped into Consortium News (via the Bush/Bin Laden ‘symbiosis’ article and I appreciate its desire for honesty. This comment came into an article on 'who is to blame for Egypt's chaos) - but it is addressing our participation in a mentality as an extra step in our responsibility for our experience of our world.
- - -
This article uncovers some of what is going on but uses the headline ‘who’s to blame’. This mentality is part of the problem and not part of the answer.
I feel that the analysis of event in the world needs to be distilled to the mentality that is shared in one mind – albeit in different degrees and in different forms.
Only by identifying the mentality that we share within ourselves – can we ‘repent of’ or unsubscribe from it. Moral self righteousness over against the perceived (magnified or projected) ‘wrongs of the other’ or in a word ‘blame’.
The shift in perspective that comes automatically from disengaging blame leads not so much to a better analysis as to a clearer discernment. They are quite different, because an analysis breaks a thing into parts and decides, compares and weights according to a set of values or conditionings of one’s own self interest, but discernment opens an honesty that integrates and unifies to a Universal self-interest.
The goal, purpose, function or intent of our lives may not be ours to change (at the level of our sense of ourselves in the world) but it is a freedom as to how we get there.
When we lock into our own method as the only method, we make all else invalid to our sight. This is self-righteousness or ‘judgement’.
Awakening an addict to his or her addiction is not easy unless they have come to the end of their capacity to deny it. But such an education can be in all our communications.
Those who awaken to their insanity are defacto no longer completely insane. Sharing a willingness for regaining trust through a greater honesty invites renewal.
The basis upon which to live from is not covered by the past or denied by its extension into the future – but is a living presence of connectedness, relation or embrace – that CANNOT be substituted for with conceptual identifications and mutual definitions.
This comment may seem irrelevant to the particulars of the situation in Egypt – yet is relevant to every instance where a perceived conflict of interests leads to a breakdown of communication, and war of one kind or another.

(The system is rigged) Ex Barclays executive warns Libor system still not fixed four years after warning
The underlying pattern I see is that of a lobby of separative self serving interest, (that believes its own voice), convinces you, the government of service and representation for the whole, that its voice is your own and you must do what it says or else terrible consequences will result. One step buys into a lie, in which you are 'owned' by a thinking and a will that has made of you a puppet of a self serving interest. But only while you accept and validate the voice as your own guidance and protection.
I am attempting to point to the roots here, not just of this single issue, but of something endemic to our habit of consciousness.
We humanly tend to mythologise everything. Mr Diamond - or even the banks or 'rogue' financial sector are not themselves the cause - but are effects of a deeper cause.
If we pull off the tops of the weeds, we may feel a momentary satisfaction, but unless we go to the roots, the weeds will be back soon enough.
Our public thinking and our political acts are expressing a superficial and self seeking mask.
The desire to scapegoat is not the correction (of awakened Reason), but the indulgence and manipulation of emotional mythological derivatives - that if truly accounted, would reveal a lack of true presence. (The same voice of separate self serving, lobbying our mind for the maintaining of the mask by which we think to protect our separate interest).
Unless one awakens to the nature - and from the thrall - of such thinking, then the scam is not truly exposed, but has merely sacrificed a part of itself for the hidden seeding in the new growth.
That which hollows out and lays to waste, and turns all things to misery and war, is in our thought.
When thought substitutes for trueliving, an error occurs by which a false identification seeks to get itself free. It calls forth a voice of a separative self interest. If you can feel that, then you can also leave it unused and listen with a fresh curiosity for that of your very being that knows you and therefore knows the guidance of restoring a true harmony of being to a self that seems to be at war within itself and without!
Home truths are not manipulations, but tend to be humbling for the self we imagined to be. This is good news - though it comes as heartbreak. A true foundation is Priceless.
Thank you for your attention.

Blame or Responsibility?
Ultimately blame is simply an attempt to offset self hatred, but them becomes a kind of 'pass the parcel' game in which everyone seeks not to be the one on whom it lands, and the more one plays the game, the more currency blame seems to acquire by the fact of its usage.
The framework in which blame seems meaningful and useful, operates unquestioned, unconsciously, as if it were our self protected.
Blame is to true responsibility what punishment is to a genuine rehabilitation, that is, it substitutes for and undermines any true communication or outcome. Blame it is a feel-good ritual at the expense of truth - indulging a self righteous hate on a part at the expense of the whole.
We are not independently being, but we ARE cocreatively expressive of the life that is in us, and this is to say we share a mind - whether it be one mind in self-illusion or one mind in truly shared purpose. The attempt to serve two minds that are mutually exclusive of each other, is to perpetuate the 'human condition', of limitation, suffering and loss - as a mutual basis of all our experience. But there is another way of looking at everything than this, and another outcome follows.
The use of imposed or insinuated guilt as a leverage on behaviour is always a manipulation. Coercive intent is an expression of fear. It is not honouring, does not extend and grow trust and denies the living presence and worth of the targeted person or group by asserting the framework in which they are judged.
Love also knows how to say "No!" - and how to use proportionate force on behalf of the wellbeing of all. But to do so, it must be expressing a willingness for health and not a righteousness against a believed or percieved evil other.
To communicate truly is to allow to awareness all the perspectives and beliefs that are energetically present in willingness for honest relationship. Whenever we allow this, we experience a shift in the situation or relationship, that is more aware and more inclusive than what was operating before.
An honest relationship must be both within ourselves and with others. We are either congruent or playing a mask. We need each other's witness as we need to offer true witness to all. (Or we blindly believe our own presentations). The fear of real communication is of shameful exposure and rejection. It is also the belief that love is weak and has been, and will be, killed by fear. Yet both of these beliefs are fearful imaginings of loveless thought.
The idea that one can define and then control life has some merit at the stage of holding a point of reference amidst a fearful chaotic uncertainty, but that point of reference is not more than a stepping stone in which to access a greater perspective. The true dominion of the heart is not coercive, but it an expression of wholeness in all its parts.
A natural harmony of relations is never a result of coercion or dominion of one part over another, but of a shared purpose.When we are individually and collectively 'sharing' conflicting purposes, the parts seem to war. This is not a condition to be overcome but a condition of alarm in which to recognize we are out of true, and listen or recconnect to life at the heart.
None of what I write can translate meaningfully to a mind that sees itself as autonomous, independently authoritative and separate from life and each other. For such a mentality, wilfulness, fear, guilt, conflict and pain reflect back to the mind its own foundations - and justify the continued practices that give rise to their reoccurrence.
Wisdom is a matter of discernment, and this is a higher or more primary quality of the heart. A complexity of thinking is the natural ally of manipulative deception - whether within our own mind or in the world at large.
Honesty of being is not something that needs propping up as it is simply already true - and will extend itself naturally whenever conditions of exclusion are released of allegiance. Truth is not ours to judge but is ours to share.
An imaginative, wishful and deceptive intent is personally enacted and often socially supported, but has to be constantly maintained and protected from exposure - or it is undone of validity.
The mind of the self in its assertion of specialness, is a highly vigilant and capable defence mechanism. Though it seems to promise protection and fulfilment, it undermines peace of wholeness and hollows out our lives, our relationships and our world of the inherent Meaning, that has been called the 'Soul'.
When we think we see the mind of deception, division and attack in others, we become certain of our self against them or what they stand for. This is where we need vigilance for truth rather than against evil, for in this primary error do we cast out our own shadows upon the other in attempt to be free of a self hatred.
Self hatred is mistaken, no matter what circumstances are associated with its exposure in our mind. For our living self is not ours to make and groom, to a becoming of something greater or more worthy. Such is the imaginative play of self concept or self image. We can become willing expressions of witnessing to Life according to opportunities given us - and this embodies a transcendence of self-specialness.
When what we have cherished turns out to hurt us, do we not reevaluate Everything anew? Putting aside our own thought and all experience associated with it - to presently enquire with a fresh curiosity, finely tuned for truth?
Blame is always self harming. The sacrifice of life for the raising of an illusion to prominance is a temporary 'hit' of a sense of self vindication.
We each and all teach and learn by our own choice. In our social agreements as to what constitutes truth or life or the good, we find ourselves out of true, for the current situation is not designed or intended to fulfill our own definitions of reality.
Life in concept is no substitute for the Lived and the Living. Awakening at the heart is not describable to the mentality of control, but is altogether recognisable as it is, to its own.
Love's awareness is neither earned or deserved. Nor is it withheld or disallowed but our thinking makes it so. Judement and blame is a way of maintaining an illusion of control amidst a loveless intent.
For every action their is reaction.
But as the mind of reaction is left unused, it weakens from disregard.
The Movement of Wholeness is discerned only in active extension of trust. But this need only be an instant, in order to allow a shift of perspective and a step in which integrity of being is embodied.
To seek for the willingness and light in another instead of the blameworthy, is to undo one's own defence against love's awareness, now.

Is it ever ok to call someone else a Nazi?
Incitement to hatred in a public domain might be something that can be investigated as to its intent - but to criminalise - and therefore to invite public vilification of people whose attempt to enforce their version of truth upon another- reveals itself - in a symbolic and frustrated attack - that has no intent other than to dump on the other and break communication in an appearance of triumph of being right - is to LOSE the opportunity to bring this very behaviour - and its associated mentality - into the light of awareness. Raising awareness may involve calling a stop to institutionalized or previously accepted 'cultures' of abuse - and law may have a place, but only if it is simply the backstop beneath a true culture of communication.
We feed and even become the thing we hate in our self righteousness - and unfortunately, the psychological insights that could have set us on a road to enlightenment are used for the same old mentality of god and devil, right and wrong, It is this mentality that deprives our mind of its wholeness and makes a blinkered and fearful fragmented approach to life that is not inherently necessary. There is a better way - and it is worthy of being discovered.
To attempt to use law - with the backing of the force of the State - to force people to be 'good' - or prevent them being 'bad' is just the same sort of mentality as that under the Nazi or any other tyrannical ideology - in that they who are sure they are right (because who they are fighting against are definitely wrong!) - feel fully justified in forcing their will upon others.
War is a breakdown of communication, but so is the use of communication as a mere manipulative device; a mask; a strategy of self interest at the other's expense.
As we do to our fellow man, we do to our very self. This may not seem true to a mind that uses truth to spin its own story - but it is inescapable. We know what judgement and blame brings forth. How about seeing what a true willingness to listen and learn brings forth?

War is a breakdown of communication, but so is the use of communication as a mere manipulative device; a mask; a strategy of self interest at the other's expense.
As we do to our fellow man, we do to our very self. This may not seem true to a mind that uses truth to spin its own story - but it is inescapable. We know what judgement and blame brings forth. How about seeing what a true willingness to listen and learn brings forth?

Shame killings and the idolisation of feminine purity

Shame killings and the idolisation of feminine purity
http://tinyurl.com/yeazpto
In the above linked article I feel a mind feeling connections between cultures that idolize the feminine in idealistic forms that then confine, exclude or deny life to women who do not fit the form.
In the comments, I feel a mind that only sees the forms in the meanings it has given them and remains passionately compartmentalized. I felt to add my own comment - and what is written below was grown from my comment.
Blame for evil act or intention must always focus on persons: me, us, you or them - and always reinforces a sense of separted minds. But a shared mentality that is sick is not a matter of blame and punishment but of a need for healing and correction of the error in the shared mind that upholds the culture.
We always want to see the sickness or fault in OTHERS and not in our own mind. I don't say blame - I say ignorant wrong-thinking. Self righteousness is a defence for displacing BLAME - and concerns itself with only the truth of a selected part of a larger picture - for private benefit. We can of course turn this upon our own self - but always by a process of self judgement that confirms guilt and then applies exclusion and punishment upon oneself.
Shame killings should NOT be reported as honour killings, or even as ‘honour’ killings. Shame is a destructive sense of sin - believed to be real and experienced as real by those who are unaware of the innate sense of sanctity and worth that is of our 'original nature' rather than of any humanly acquired self image.
Human thinking has always been liable to both create and serve loveless ends in the name of its own brand of 'love'. We cant have it both ways. Illusions of love bring the cost of ignorance of love. In such ignorance our minds are deceived whereby we feed the very fears that enslave us and make them self-fulfilling.
To undo the investment we have placed in the mind of sin is both simple and yet profoundly difficult. It is simple in that it calls not for further human ingenuity or effort - but only for a present faith in a greater Presence of Life than our current belief allows. This can only come as a willingness to reevaluate the basis of one’s own current experience.
For much of our activity of thought and intent has a hidden intent to be protected from the feeling and thought that is a sense of hate or shame. Discovering this allows an honesty to enter - even if we cannot abide it at first. This honesty may be as a small still voice amidst a storm. But it is not deception, and as you learn to trust and abide in its light, the fruits of trust and discernment will undo and replace the fruits of estrangement and self judgement.
The only honour we can truly have is that which we give the truth that we are willing to recognize in each other and in our world. This can not be taken from anymind that remains willing to give it. But is already lost sight of by anymind that seeks to have it for itself.
Likewise the only teaching worthy of allegiance are those which serve awakening of such truth as brings life more abundant - and truly shared.
