Be ware at heart of the blaming game

This is responding to an example of the opinionating and blaming that diverts from discriminating and truly naming. It isn't specifically personal but takes that form as an open invitation to engage.


Opinions are hogwash. Demanding anything of another - including proof - is a way of denying them within the assertion of opinion pretending to fact. In denying them - are you free to assert a version of relationship of control rather than communication. This is the primal split of mind - and we have not evolved one iota from our starting place despite some very clever and fast form change.
Or you would see even the symptoms of attempt to control, in terms of communication. And reintegrate a split-mindedness to a wholeness of being.
You can seem to 'live' in a matrix of ambivalent shifting impressions so as to present the form that seems to fit the expediency of the conditioned meanings that 'control' such reaction. But it is all 'on the run' no matter how grandly it is dressed.

When is the fine mind going to begin to reflect upon its own programming? Not while the blame game operates. Not while loving to hate hides that there is a hating to love. What's with this power trip that is So sweet then? "I want it Thus!"... is that it? Is that all it is? Or is it fear of being found wanting? - lacking - powerless in your own Creation? TOTAL INVALIDATION.

It is no good building upon a mistake - sooner or later one has to go back to the foundations - because the mistake has never REALLY been covered over or 'left behind' or escaped. It has misidentified you since the moment of its reaction - when a mind seemed to leap out of terror and limit the unbearable. Is that 'power' or is that the limiting of power misperceived?

Aligning with true power is rest. Aligning with false power is perpetual war; forever seeking to 'prove' and validate or justify its 'self'. But maybe you ran off with a copy - a forgery - along with the guilt that expects to be punished for taking an image in vain - and expectation of having 'your' life taken back.

Beware of guilt and blaming hate - beware the fear where it leaps forth as if your mind protecting. Be aware first for what is first is the First - and let all else proceed as aligning in the power of awareness - that judges not but beholds. And in being held or found, you hold to and find the threads of vibration that are true of who you feel and recognize yourself to be.

To know and be truly known is without division of difference at the heart or light of true awareness. Nothing else is wholly true and therefore is a focussing within the differentiation from which to HAVE experience of the Indivisible and share in its knowing and being known.

Yes - you can lose your way so completely as to believe you have found your own power and it it must manage in disconnected attempts to make it real upon the belief and reactions of others and world. Or on the imagined virtual world of your versions of others and world. Is it a rehearsal for a life that will never activate? A way of diversion so that what is actively moving Life is denied your embodying gift?

"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.

The passive agrressive consumer

On a template propagation page for man made warming in the Independent, salparadise commented with a rant on corporate greed and government collusion, along with the claim that consumers didn't 'do it' but were getting 'the blame'.

I invite you to consider that 'consumer' mentality is exactly the passively managed condition that corporate systems depend on and cultivate. It is exactly the 'weak-mindedness' you deride. But it is actually a strong way of making ourselves weak.

The willingness to 'look the other way' while satisfying one's own 'getting' habit is actually a very active determination to remain unconscious of anything that exposes the nature of one's addictions and dependencies.
Masked fear controls the mind if it has not been owned and integrated - and is extremely ingenious in its disguises, corporate or consumer.
Divide and rule is the split minded way of trying to manage fear. I suggest it actually feeds and propagates the condition it is supposed to manage, while adding a level of helpless or compulsive dependency on external powers - who are essentially invited and employed to take on responsibilities that are not being owned.
Discernment is a heart-connected honesty to which our choices can be aligned. If we do not use it, then we are in effect 'choosing the world' that both supplies and programs our choices.
Whenever the guilt of blame and shame is utilized, the mentality of divide and rule is being employed to bait reaction. It works by reaction.
Debt and guilt are currencies of obfuscation and invalidation. We were/are happy to be the top-dogs while the colonized were denied real development, but now there is great fear of scarcity and so much less pie to go round - so join the Palestinians and live like dogs!
Fear is the common denominator. If we do not own our own fear, we remain conditioned (and manipulated) by it. Fear calls up defence mechanisms - look up the term and notice that our 'normal' consciousness is already in a sense, insane, disconnected, dislocated in split off personality.
A true foundation waits its recognition. While operating from a false self, truth is usurped. So, operate from a true foundation; one that is not coercive upon you.
"They" are us. We see the world through our own consciousness. We cant get rid of what is actually part of us, but we can see it for what it is and make a conscious choice as to whether we use it.
Consciousness responsibility is not an attempt to change the world in order to get something for ourself alone. It is giving the meanings to situations and relationships that is most aligned with the truth of your joy - of your wholeness.
The 'world', lacks our true presence. A true participant meets a different 'world', because one is not feeling deprived or denied. Living FROM wholeness is the art of being rather than seeking it as the artifice of mimicry.


# extra comment to a commenter who derided the toxic deniers that had appeared in the comments :

You use the term denier as if it had nothing to do with you.
This article reads as a planted propaganda template without scientific integrity.
Climate change is really happening - and has always been happening. Such fundamental change as we are meeting on every level of our consciousness brings up the archetypes of human guilt, and punishment. Scientists are no less human in their attachments, investments and identities than anyone else.
It is not only possible for over 95% to be 'wrong' it is a given - considering the blinkered bias of the human conditioning.
If you let yourself polarize, you are no longer in communication - but reacting defensively to that which does not agree with you.
The use of invalidating language is a weapon, not a communication - and it gives away a masked coercive agenda.
Take the blame, shame coercion out of the communication channel and see what can be seen. The toxic is not 'out there' - it is the active desire to see the other as guilty or invalid. Self-righteousness blinds. It also stinks.
Separate church (science) from state (corporate) THEN see what kind of world we uncover!

Seeding the virus ?

 AndrewStreet said

Well, I have to agree with you on several points there. To be honest, I don't see a lot of hope for this planet, or at least our civilisation on it (the planet itself will recover in time) - if enough of our history is preserved then perhaps we can at least serve as a lesson to some far-future civilisation...

I said:

Might that seed the same thought virus in a new growth?


A conflicted mind is an oxymoron and yet such is the the virtual state of consciousness of humanity.

We are only really free to be what we are. If we try to be what we are not we can call that free will and defend it against all Reason.

To put this another way - we are not the mask or persona that is used and accepted as if it were real in mutual rituals of reinforcement of the idea of separated consciousness.

A separated consciousness USES relationships to GET. This correlates exactly with the state of the world that we co create.

It is not going to resolve at the persona level or via the persona mentality because all of that is about maintaining a control mentality over (one's) Life.








(Further comments)
We already ARE some far-future civilisation and the warnings and lessons of our distant past are held in stories that have come through in one form or another, even when the details are forgot and the essence simplified into folk tales and woven into the fabric of the world and times of the people who told them.
More than enough wisdom to awaken and realign humanity with reality is available, but the stories to which import and favour are given are those that serve to validate and justify a masked wish to self-specialness in which his thinking convinces him that his thinking is his guide and protector from reality, by cultivating a sense of withdrawal from, and control over it.
Even amidst the 'end times' of a globalized magnification of slave-thinking to a machine mentality does humanity 'see' the problem as other people who are blind, selfish or deluded, rather than awaken to this as a self-realisation.

Passing the buck, or playing to win by evading and minimising blame-humiliation-rejection-penalty, is a masking and defence of distraction and deception that has no real regard for others, for the mask has become taken as the 'self' that requires survival at the cost of honesty, of love's recognition and relation.
The thinking of the mask cannot afford love's honesty - and so it is portrayed as weak or heretical - insane even! - by the cliques of self-interest that seek to be free of the perceived  'constraints' of a truly shared reality. And the form of love is used in guile of presentation to soften and win advantage over the gullible.

In the digital era one can engage attention in screen reality or don a virtual reality headset and be so immersed in experience that one forgets it is a surrogate extension.
This is a reflection in our world of a process of displacement that is already active in our minds, as the desire to get or become different than what actually is.
Prior to the experience of physical separation is a sense of loss and an impulse of getting, that cannot be separated from each other, for the one supports the other in displacing the awareness of All That Is - as it is, through the engagement of division and interpretation that seeks to define and control self-reality instead of yielding into and flowing as the be-ing that is our only true existence - regardless of whatever layers or levels of 'experience' that we mutually define and believe real in its moment of appearance.

No one lives and is existence-aware by their own word or deed.
When the displacements from reality are of such a complexity as to become unworkable - even by ingenious redistributions of man made manipulations - then a period of adjustment is inevitable, in which what was believed true simply is not and does not hold. And what is true, simply is and will not be denied.

True foundations are simply evident when the false is seen truly - though it may feel as if a loveless and fearful darkness has been replaced by a gift of light.
The shadow cannot let go of a shadow. That which IS real of you wakens to its true nature. A different world must arise to a different foundation, though it takes time of willingness to release and accept realignment with recognition rather than the old thinking reaction-habit.

Doctors should report child abuse suspicions 'on a hunch' ???

In a climate of fear the 'machinery' that is likely to be set into motion by reporting suspicion tends to be blind, disproportionate and inquisitional - with guilt presumed regardless of anything anyone says or can show.

In the name of 'protection', a blind self righteous mentality is allowed to violate a family's trust in hysterical over reaction fuelled by a fear of being themselves vilified if they fail to be seen to act.

What ends up being protected - even worshipped - is the very mentality of guilt and fear that expresses itself as lovelessness and violence in all kinds of symptoms at a societal level, at family level and within the mind of a personal level.

What is always called for is discernment and a capacity for listening and communicating, that can both assess and monitor anything that might be an alarm. This discernment must start within oneself to BE discernment. There is no way a programmed template response can relate, communicate or serve to correct or remedy a need - especially when the prevalent 'culture' is one of shame, blame and vilification to be in any way associated with NOT being seen to fulfil the template requirements and therefore FAIL to protect.

Far from making sure that action occurs, a blame culture ensures that action is disproportionate, over triggerred such as to feed an alarmist paranoia, and a direct attack on those qualities of trust and communication that ARE present.

The horror, and a resulting hatred, of violence that human beings enact upon each other of a loveless intent and taking many guises is very hard to bear. The initial impulse is often to react in like kind to the energetic itself. To hate the hatred, and fear the fear, and to excommunicate and stamp out the guilt. For exposure to such, becomes experience of OUR psychic, emotional and mental violation, and few of us are awake enough to the mind's mechanisms of denial, displacement and projection - that personalize guilt as a scapegoat on the other, dehumanizing them, and find justification in righteous superiority and comparative 'innocence'.

Love in action needs to discern when not acting is honouring the truth of the situation; When action expresses a maximal and whole appreciation of shared interest - which establishes and communicates an integrity and sanctity of being, that can express forcefully but not coercively; That is trusted and held in communication enough to be able to itself extend trust and communicate.

The mentality that promotes fear and justifies hate is a deception, a manipulative intent. To fear it is to give it power, but to speak truth to power is to reveal the deception as it is.

If we are really so concerned with innocent victims, then why is the concern so highly focussed on very specificly selected instances and disregarding of so many others? Feel the bullying intent that would force the mind to comply, but don't become a victim by reaction. But see it as an alarm by which to become fully present and live from that, instead of from a set of thinking that plays out without love ever being truly expressed and shared.

The mind of deception 'divides and rules'. That is, it fragments a wholeness into parts, selects some parts and rejects others. This is a 'violence' against truth and life - for it judges as one part over another and denies the whole in which the parts are recognizably one.
A discernment is of the heart and mind as one and is an expression of willingness for true relationship and in service to all. You wont learn this from the media, but in a world tipping into insanity, it is the learning that is called for.

The 'mindset' of blame and shame is sickness that undermines any culture of trust, and communication. Love is not action so much as the field of trust and communication in which actions naturally harmonize. In which fear and guilt naturally rise to be corrected, undone, healed - rather than used to justify and perpetuate private self interests.

May the fear of love and the shame of an unworthiness of love be undone of their power to deny you.
May a desire to heal begin with a willing acceptance of healing - which is where the mind listens in the heart's guidance.
When you are truly listened to and received and honoured, you absolutely know it in your whole being. We can be that for ourselves  - and for each other.

Thank you for your attention.

Fear, scarcity, hysteria and the breakdown of communication

From public reaction and from these comments it would appear to be a very inflammable subject.
BLAME - of any kind - is antithetical to true vision and hence truly helpful outcomes - because blame is presumed already currency to be GOT RID OF onto others or your humiliation invalidates you.

We are collectively ADDICTED to external 'powers' and the illusion of authority they confer in a Faustian pact that hollows out our life to live out a lie that will OUT as sure as eggs is eggs.

The 'outing of the lie' is not the blame game - but the result of a true humility - that is - from a true accounting of our thoughts and values - and the world and culture that they create.

The natural reserves of this planet have been Prodigally wasted, because we forget the WHY and the WHAT FOR of our very lives - of our Conscious Being. It appears we DON'T WANT to be in touch with our Being - but would prefer the sport of a seemingly rebellious independence of mind that USES everything for its own ends.

Tweedledee and 'Dum AGREE to have a battle - for that is how fear distracts and blinds us from seeing more intimately, that which we are afraid to see.

It is never too late for Truth!

Scarcity is caused by fear's distortion and resulting imbalance. WHENCE COMES the deeper TRUST by which fear is dissolved? From a greater HONESTY. This is the real connection that is being threatened - not in Truth - but in our minds and resulting communications.

Blame gaming is the antithesis of a truly embraced responsibility. THIS is where the real toxic debt lies; guilt and fear.

As usual I have fallen through the surface to speak of what is always hidden by the surfaces. Fair and just relations are not the result of social engineering apart from the basic rules of holding our House in order.

The precariousness of our human situation beggars belief, yet there is always one step that can be taken in good heart - even if it is simply to refuse the perspective of a lie and be open to something greater than our own thinking.

I sense the Universe is Abundant in ways we have not recognised - and will not recognize - whilst asserting a private independent self sense UPON Life, and acting out-from the script that always comes from such a foundation.


I was replied to with a '"pull your neck in"
I replied

Thanks for the touch.

It is the nature of every heart to love truth, but the mind that wants to play its own game has to 'kill' the heart to seem to exist.

I was watching a pheasant eat at my bird feeder just minutes ago. Incredibly beautiful to simply be with, quite apart from the associations of them being incredibly stupid - perhaps due to being bred to be killed for sport.

A year or so ago I saw two male pigeons fighting in the way pheasants do - jumping up and down and having at each other. Only they were on a road and their engagement made them oblivious to the oncoming transit van. They gifted the world a momentary explosion of feathers - and marked a lesson in my heart.

There is so little sense in human communications because everyone winds their neck in. This makes them fearful and suspicious and unloving in their own perceptions - which easily become the 'reality' of which we share out from.

Despite appearances to the contrary, I feel there Is a movement within our hearts that (beneath the radar of the mind) is attracting a collective attention, and those who are willing, begin to question what they thought they KNEW. And those who insist on dreaming will do anything and everything to maintain distraction. But will have to do it unmasked of its glamour - and so it will disintegrate of any claim to true authority or allegiance.

I find both willingness and resistance in myself - and am learning to choose one and let the other go.

Who casts the first or any other stone must then duck, hide and lie. Unless of course they relinquish the temptation to be used by fear.

If now isn't a good time to break siege - when will now be different?

At times of fear coming to the surface - all kinds of stuff is triggered. If there is a real willingness to learn - these are ideal conditions. Perhaps I should have said 'consciously unlearn'.

There must be a better way - AND, I want to share in a willingness to be found in it - not by thinking - but by not thinking.

 

Don’t call children obese, health staff are warned

Has anyone noticed that the usage of names changes - such that a name becomes stigmatized and rendered unusable. Thus we become ever more managed as to what we are allowed to say. But all along it is primarily the spirit - the energetic relational context - in which something is said that is either honouring the other - or is in some sense judging them.
So if we are to look at language as a tool to release us from guilt, fear and conflict, it is not enough to try to change the surface. We need to wake up to a sense of worth in our own and each other's presence - in which difficult or necessary communications can be shared.

What we have in our society is a confusion between self and self image. Our self image is necessarily in conflict with reality - because it is a wish - no matter how deeply or heavily we invest in it or ally ourselves in attempt to protect or support it.

Our self is innocent of such confusion and conflictedness and can be shared in what is called the practice of loving - (another word that has been devalued by mis use). To acknowledge and recognise and honour the presence of life in another is not only the way to open and abide in a like quality of life for oneself - but is the way of a truly practical harmony and functionality.

Self worth is not something that self-image based self can effect or accomplish - because it is Already True - but obscured by the active distortions introduced by a wishful - and indeed wilful selfishness. Such a selfishness is not a basis for blame - but for correction. In other words, a state of the forgetting of love's presence is a call for the rewakening of love's presence.

I am not merely speaking of or to a mentalizing capacity that seeks to control life via understanding or applying ideas - but of awakening the need and the call and the willingness for and active expression of love - as a practical expression of well being.

When a culture of 'protecting' gives rise to a tyranny of blame - in which one is disinclined to actively exercise and grow TRUST - we should not be surprised that our world is in bankrupt, in ruins, rudderless and clinging to illusions in futility.

There is a sense in which we are all fat - beyond an abundance in gratitude and have become hidden from and over protected from ... Life. We all have different masking strategies. It is always easier to see in others what we do not want to own in ourselves and it is that which gives rise to a desire to blame, judge or scapegoat others. Education begins at Home - and shares out from lessons learned - in willingness to grow in our own capacity to love.

Wikileaking truth into the mind that thinks it thinks alone

Amidst the drama of our engaged attention and the outpicturing of fundamental aspects of the human mind. I pause to let leak into awareness, something of the nature of mind itself. To intuit upstream. To be released of the hack that runs as if who and what it thinks it is - IS what it is.

Truth is truth by being truth and not as as informational support or means for personal or private enhancement or gain. That truth is the first casualty of war should be a practical alarm for any who notice the engagement in war in their own heart and mind.

The conspiracy of fearful mind is one of shared purpose amidst a private darkness that gives preference to a private self interest above truth itself. It doesn't mind what political nature runs 'the country' as long as it owns the bank that controls the 'currency'. In this sense the currency of our love of truth is liable to be subverted by the false currency of derivative 'truths' - that appeal to our unquestioned, fear driven 'needs'.

When desires of a self-seeking nature are indulged, they bias or distort the appreciation of truth, all things will then automatically be used to support and validate the false perspective - and therefore justify an interpretation of reality that is presumed or believed to be true against alternate assertions that are automatically seen as adversary - and fought against.

We become the thing that we hate - because we feed it with our attention and identify it as real to us.

The truly personal dimension of truth is the intimacy of freedom to love.
But the personification of truth is a psychological or mythological overlay of story that seeks to create a personal sense - separate from truth. To - as it were - 'tell the truth' and acquire validity and authority from the telling, rather than share in the appreciation of and natural guidance within - a presently connected sense of reality.

When blame substitutes for responsibility, truth has been put aside for the game of denying and excluding the fear of guilt from our mind.

In self signed certificate of our moral righteousness we are phished by a blind and unloving intent to fight our shadows upon our unrecognized kindred.

Love of truth must remain rooted in the truth of love - or its simply a war game. War games are addictive to those who maintain their identity or sense of self from opposition, from the thrill of the sport and the drama of becoming.

The exposure of that which was hidden can serve a greater good than grabbing advantage or feeding a habit.

Our times are calling forth fundamental change - and require a true accounting of what we are and do - so that we can be in truth renewed.

The desire to know truth is the release of the desire to hide or subvert it. But it is not a witchhunt.

The resources that become available when fear loses it grip on the human heart - are unimaginably rich. Truth is not scarce - but witness for truth is the great need of our true heart.

May we discern our good amidst the noise of the world - and discover a world less dense, less lightless and more integrated; more sane.

Underneath the blame game

My (very slightly edited) comment to the page: Did the over-45s ruin life for the rest of us?



I find it much more enlightening to see the history of ideas in  - as it were - a collective mind. The recycling of the same old mentalities in rebranded forms is hidden by the personalisation of the blame game and the drama of a conflict of wills that that always fuels.

We (over 45s) thought we'd broken free and then we found we'd played the same old game in a new set of clothes - or else we believe our own self illusions and share the subtler chains of a more isidious imprisonment. The 'system' has thus evolved a most sophisticated capacity to assimilate and marketize and monopolize - even though it does so under the banner of free markets and democracy - and for the benefit of the very few who seek and wield power in worldly terms.

Human life IS experienced AS limitation - but there is a dimension of transcendence that is not part of the game of controlling reality. As long as we play the blame game, we put responsibility for life outside our own heart's domain and are cut off from our truth.

Whoever the status quo is upheld by - IS always resistant to change. But change is the NATURE of manifest life. Truth cannot change - and attempts to maintain self-illusion play out the same old story in any age. Cultural renewal is a result of a current alignment with truth.

Market collapse brings a period of 'adjustment'. This one is in a managed slow motion spin - where the perceptions of reality are being consciously managed as if they were reality itself. The 'me' generation wasn't entirely narcissistic and self deluded. Life does leak through in all sorts of ways - but Life is always the spirit embodied, and not the form mimicked.

Blessings on the young - for their journeys of discovery by which they wake up from accepting the version of reality that their society is addicted to - and protects accordingly. Let the dead bury the dead - attend the call of the living!

The materialism of the scientific mind does not care for even the material world - except where Life leaks through. But to objectify and market manage reality for private gain undermines our very means of support and subsistence.

Fear is the last guide we need to use if we are to act from true wisdom. As a movement for change of heart grows - then I feel it will find acceptance in all ages, one step at a time.
