Individual Globalism

Globalist peril vs. The Individual
By Jon Rappoport
Jon writes toward opening a free imaginative individuality instead of succumbing to a global collectivism. I join in his theme in my own way.




 I share the underlying concern but look for the core pattern to emerge from any disguises or trappings in which it has been set. In this sense trappings is an apt term for the result of masking or hiding the patterns of consciousness in terms of conflict, fear and blame is a kind of mind-trap that thought only winds up or reinforces, in its attempt to think itself out and force-identify such thinking as if it promises freedom.


 My individuality IS my relationship with you - at least it is never found where my relationship with you is invalidated or denied. That does not dictate the form and flavour of how I choose or accept myself to be with you. But I am ALWAYS in relation to something while I have any awareness of existence at all, and how I choose to accept myself in definition to each and any event or relationship is how I define and create my experience of myself in 'the world' of relation.


 One-ness can only experience itself through relation and in this sense are you 'brother' to me - though I don't have a non-gender term for sharing the same Source. The capacity to recognize Self or Life in each other is our core or original Communication or Mind - yet we clearly have also a capacity to perceive a stranger in hateful or loveless terms of fear and threat and distrust. Once the identity is set in conflict, it is defended and protected from Communication and a reversal of the law of love operates in the minds of those who play out the roles of hate and blame, fear and pain.


 This reversal is a false foundation - yet from it is Everything filtered and distorted to serve or reflect an alloyed purpose of love and hate that co-fuse together until the loving to hate in blame joins with the hating to love, in pride or shame to set the polarities of a false and shifting sense of life and self in terms of good v evil. This narrative is the fight or flight mind that has a place in physical reality to move you when your mind is not available in time to react. But it is not the true or free basis of Life on Earth even if it is being given that place by our collective individual acts of alignment within it or from it.


 Creation of Unfolding sharing Experience is Free Imagination - along the lines of any meanings and values accepted and thus creatively engaged in for your sharing - for your life is a sharing - not a 'thing' unto itself nor unto some Objective Thing by which to validate or justify such a self.


 But the sharing is of a vibrational resonance that communicates itself through everything you accept for you, feel the nature of and think and act from. It is not a division of 'stuff' that diminishes as it is shared or an experience of sacrifice or loss of Life or Self in sharing - but rather the re-membering and re-minding of who and what you truly are. Being yourself - in forms of experience - is served by the contrast with what you are not. There is no necessary or inherent conflict in choosing what you want - or feel your true alignment with - unless you give a negative or fear-charged and invalidating meaning of rejection to what you are not choosing in this moment, in this life, to be the idea in expression of.


 Power-struggle is always first within your accepted definition of Self. A reflection of conflicted experience is the feedback by which to address definitions that are out of alignment with who you feel and know yourself to be. Fear of wanting what we want can seek power by using others as excuses or justifications for not being simply and directly open - and we communicate hidden agenda no matter how ell we mask our presentations to ourself and to each other.


 Truing up is not 'resisting evil' or 'saving the world' but it will leave less and less room for the reversals of thought that give rise to negative or fear and guilt-based experience - to manifest as your world. For the knowingly denied misalignments of Self are felt as self-betrayals, not as suffering at the hands of another.

 In all of this I appreciate that we do have practical communications within the experience of conflicted relationships, breakdowns of communication and emotional confusion that still have to be addressed wisely or otherwise - as wisdom is allowed into expression.

 Insofar as we have duty of honouring to the meanings and values that our true relationships are embodiments of - we have chosen this life regardless our mind may assert an emotionally forceful narrative to the contrary. Awakening true responsibility for our life - for our own unfolding experience of existence - as a sharing that is operating through us whether we know it or not - is our alpha and omega. To arrive at our beginning and know it for the first time... is our Divine Inheritance - as implied in 'Behold I make all things new!' You don't have to accept any baggage with this meaning - for it is not more or less than a fresh perspective.


 Freedom is firstly a matter of perspective arising from actively accepted definition. The 'mind-trap' is a story that seems to demand you listen to its some more. But it is up to you where you give your attention. The yielding of our thought in pause to a true receptivity of being is simply 'checking in' with Source. To NOT do this as the natural response to the Gift of Experiencing Existence is a result of becoming a stranger to your Self.

 Global Consciousness is not the result of power struggle but rises in return to our awareness from of release of the conflicted foundation - as a yielding in open willingness for the guidance and support of knowing your right place or right timing in true relation within Earth Consciousness.


 To live this Experience is not merely to dream a life in concept. "Concept" carpets, curtains and blinds - as a fixed state of no real relational experience at all. It is the polarity of 'forgetting' the Movement of being as a result of identifying in form. Living Idea is much more of a dance in which the Universe joins in. Smile and the world smile's with you - because your world is a vibrational reality to which you are tuned to share. But watch the mind of mimicry that learns to 'smile' as if to get something for itself alone. No guilt or blame. Just watch it when you notice it in-act. The false falls away of itself when you do not recognize yourself in it.

 Framing ourself in terms of fear is a false conviction. But denying the witnesses to undercurrent fears that conflict our lives until they are resolved or undone is no less false.

 True and false is a matter of moment by moment discernment - as a result of checking in. Because the forms of things do not equate their true meanings - and whatever stories we are participating in are for our own reasons - regardless what others choose to see in us.

 I am attracted to the stories of awakening from ancient hate to a present loving and of course I have no power to live anyone else's life even if I had any room in mine to consider doing so. The words may be unrealistically idealistic - but a present loving is an unconditional acceptance of who I am experiencing myself - with you - to be right here and now. And like a smile, I cannot DO this by or for myself alone - but something rises spontaneously from the heart as a wholeness of being that goes forth without making demand on another, or a world, to conform or fit my demand or expectation. OR I am attending to such stories in place of embracing the moment as it is.

 The truly global or Universal, is the extension or sharing of the true individual. If you set this in the 'future' then a fleeting moment is all that you have as it is sacrificed to a past made in anger. Yet the moment expands as you open to it. Eternity is hidden in plain sight, and yet time can be used to restore its awareness as our own. There is a choice here on Earth as to whether we each want to embrace Life or not  - and I mean the Movement of a relational transformative journey in being that some part of us felt called in or we would not be here at all. Heartbreak must yield to wholeness of being of a greater perspective - or it 'chooses' the idolisation of a fixed 'perspective' in which Life is not welcome. The reaction to error persists it. We have to learn to recognize it in ourself and live from a true willingness if we want freedom from the strange fruit of a false identity.

Collectivism as individualistic propaganda

When a waking individuality defied the Corporate Sell, The Corporate then sold “individualism” as identity-reinforcement. The video documentary series: “The Century of the Self” by Adam Curtis is worth following for this thread. (Freely online).

A false individualism sells the idea one is free and self-defined while framing apparent choices to mere forms of differentiation that are simply part of the divide and rule of ‘identity politics’. A false identity is “thinking” based – without the visceral creative transformative Life within it.

Indivisible and individual were once synonymous – you cannot be divided or split into parts. But the belief that you can and HAVE been – is the false or split fragmented sense of a Humpty Dumpty world.

We can align with ‘all the King’s men’ if we want – but will never make or regain wholeness from any point outside the relationship of our true Indivisibility.

You may align AGAINST all the King’s men if you want, there’s a ‘helluva drama going on’ and yet martyrdom awaits a god who never comes.

Or you can walk out of any thinking – any framing of meanings and get down quiet in the silence of no reinforcement for your little identity what-so-ever – to be moved anew in a fresh perspective – that – without taking thought – is neither for or against – but WITH what is real in everyone and everything – because that’s where you are coming from.

And then in some unguarded moment, reactions trigger a mind of ‘for and against’ and division rules in place of simple presence knowing right relation. For when coming from a place of self-judgement – one meets the same measure everywhere – without recognizing their part in it.

Because hiding or outsourcing your part, so as to minimise your conflicted pain, is how you assert a sense of private individual authority and seek to validate it upon the world and conform it to reflect what? A justified sense of grievance? Is rage the power that runs the world? or is terror the compression that keeps Humpty in pieces when he could otherwise embrace his peace?

It is good to let feelings rise and move that are denied – to a true acceptance. But important to pause their public or open expression – for until you Know where you are coming from, the deceiver can take you without your realizing until after you have woken from the spell to see the hurt and hurting re-enacted and guilt on your mind.

Family can be a quality of Relationship – not coercion. Don’t be deceived by the concept or the form when it is hollow! Without Feeling awareness – there is no possibility of recognition. The capacity to identify in fragmented and distorted thought has tragic consequence while the identity runs.

Are hate and envy bedfellows? Do we hate ‘power’ because we want it?

Are we not humiliated and enraged in our impotence?
Is that what it seems or can it be imagined and perceived differently?

The vax-pharm runs a mind that is off the rails and so derails our world to run in its imaging. I don’t know about you – but I cannot feel myself at all in those tracks and I feel to reach out to others to say – “there is a choice in this much deeper than seems” – because I am grateful to all that reached or reaches to me in embrace of Life – amidst the split-mind in its fascination with disease, destruction and death.

If medical pharma cant run an open honest shop – should it be running at all? But here’s the rub – there is an extraordinary investment of fear and guilt hidden within the belief and supply of “Power to Intervene, Suppress and Manage Symptoms”. And Vax has ‘generated’ this halo of foundational sacred science that is a kingpin in the new version of the old religion of power and sacrifice that took over before science had hardly a chance to draw breath.

Freethinking? Try it! Open communication? If you are not peer previewed and published in the institutionalism of clinical data you are auto-invalidated – ie: a non-elite. You are done for and if you dissent you will be done to. Monoculture is clearly superior to natures profligate diversity – and anyway its the only way we can pretend any sense of control – by denying everything else than our own brand of truth.

But beneath the changing forms of fear-religion that must coerce against exposure by denying the messenger symptoms of out-of-true, is the cult of sacrifice of Individuality – of joy in wholeness – to a Minotaur that rages in its maze – where it has been hidden; to a priesthood that rules in the name loveless image of the god of ‘The Law’; to a blind arrogance that re-defines truth to set its own crown – and none must laugh at Humpty – for demanding sacrifice to guilt is the secret of power over – and without it… Life restores to Joy. How can this be – when Herod smites so?
I cant tell you but you have to live your life for yourself – true to to yourself and understand within the step you take and not in rehearsal before.


This post received a flattering response to which I replied:

I prefer to see a co-creation or synchronicity in which we meet – and yet in a stirring that doesn’t fit into words and doesn’t need to.

Just as you can discern the ‘weapon’ in your words at times – and thus be free to choose another way to say it – I can feel the separation of specialness – and whilst I celebrate uniqueness of being in all – I don’t feel to embody or attain the idea of an ‘elite-ist’.
As for exploration of worlds – well perhaps instead of trying to fit anything into any kind of plan – you could simply allow and follow what you are attracted to, truly energized, excited or enlivened by and interested and passionate in – in any moment that a choice arises.

It is what you believe in your heart that creates your experience – regardless what the mind presents. Conflicting beliefs and purposes bring a conflicted world. You might say that what I believe makes no difference, but to see a call for help where before I only saw an attack is a huge difference and draws an entirely different response. But I don’t ‘do’ belief from the outside in – as if they can be added to me by taking thought for myself. I release beliefs to what might be called a silence or void of self-assertion and listen and feel for the Life that rises of Itself to a true receptivity – for an instant of such ‘Life’ is so rich in Informational energy that if I lived to be a million I would not be able to write or act it all out and of course nor would I want to. However, as Neil Young sang “I see you give more than I can take, well I’ll only harvest some”. So I only need to know what I need to know, when I need to know it, and go with what resonates (there’s the joy recognition thing), and live this sense of unfolding – because it’s more about where I am coming from than where I’m going. If desire and imagination move me with the sense of inspiration to act then if I then don’t believe I can do it – the whole thing stagnates or constipates and no more inspiration can come in because I’m not listening truly to what I have – or I’d act on it.

The thing about these knots or logjams is to accept them as teaching learning opportunities rather than defining as failures or obstructions.

Blake access a wisdom that is available no less to you, but the nature of the receptive and expressive channel of communication may be less self-aware in you at this time in your life. But in your opening or letting of That Thou Art in Heaven to be right where you are – you will of course access a richness of being and wisdom to live it – if you remember to ask within rather than presume you have it – that will express in the unique way that might share vibrational resonances with all kinds of energetic connections – yet be recognisably Michael Burns. However – this is already unfolding as your life and if anything is ‘missing’ it is your conscious appreciation of it – which grows presence as mind is released from trying to manage or ‘control’ Reality – which it is not designed or capable of fulfilling – but it can generate great burden of suffering in the attempt and become ‘negatively polarised’ as a result. Generating a sense of disconnection from Life and as they say – the rest is history.
Well met!

Staged individuality is a mask

Conversation in the themes raised in
The Individual vs. the Staged Collective
by Jon Rappoport



Thanks for this. Your post triggered the following - which I greatly appreciate the journey of writing.

An individual is relational being - that is integral and active within relationships including groups, family's, organisations and cultures. But the "concept" of individuality can be falsely associated with an abstracted and disconnected power to judge and exploit relationships rather than live them. A withdrawal and withholding of true presence under pretext of focusing in what is 'wrong with' the other, the situation or the self. This may disguise itself in forms of apparently positive behavioural strokes and signs by which to pass off a presentation without having to actually connect or relate.

This self-concept is a masked persona with which an individual can identify at expense of real relations and communication, and indeed is invoked or imposed upon the relationship when it is too painful, humiliating, traumatic, or unpleasant to abide or endure and so the sense of independent power is got from the denial of the relationship in which something believed loveless and threatening is being hidden or escaped. This is the basis for the 'wolf in sheep's clothing', the monsters in the 'unconscious, the 'evil within', the 'sinner', and the psychological 'disease'.

Communication breakdown is a relational split that then signifies itself in patterns of behaviour and even physical symptoms that persist until the underlying issue is resolved or re-cognized and re-intgrated to a true relational presence. But meanwhile such 'lovelessness' will spread and replicate by reaction, including being met with suppression, exclusion and denial.

Societal rules operate a 'collective' agreement "not to go there" - as a surface evasion of depth that is generally felt entangling in obligation to be who you are not or to abide what you do not want. The mask allows a temporary form of relationship in which more is unsaid than shared and which soon wears thin, leading to pressure, stress, irritability or depression.

But real relationship denotes a free or spontaneous willingness to share in the presence of life - which is a kind of dance in which we attune more deeply with that which moves us. For presence is not a ritual re-enactment of a past seeking to fill a sense of lack or right a sense of wrong.

Political diatribe conceals a personal grievance in what appeals for collective acceptance and this personifies the breakdown of communication in society writ large. The yeast spreads through the whole batch.

So reclaiming our individuality is a healing of our communication channel that has been redefined in terms of grievance, in which self-hatred always plays a part. This is firstly within our selves in relation to our inner thought, feeling and sensing. Waking up to a network of false thinking and reactive emotionality that operates a conditioned set of responses, is waking to the correction of error - in which thought, feeling and sensing, realign in unified purpose.

It doesn't matter that this awakens a quality of responsibility that seems too difficult. All that matters is the willingness to align in who you truly are and live that as best you can without judging it. The judgement or blame culture, is what is truly difficult. Enacting a 'staged individual' is the root of insanity if at expense of your true feeling being.

Attend and abide in the Living - and let the 'dead bury the dead'. Only the Living can hear this - and those at the cusp of their willingness to accept Life as it truly is. One can only raise from the dead, those who have come to recognize they do not want it, and put it behind them.

Using our perceptions and judgement as a map to our own 'unconscious' or denied mind is bringing the symptom-messengers in that we used to deny and kill... and listening in the heart - in a willingness for wholeness in balance - that is recognisably and tangibly our Life and not a deceiving mind.

Written in response to:


Conrad says:

Yes, do indeed turn OFF the television. Stop being propagandized. But, those who venture into the woods alone get eaten. The Oligarchy doesn’t preach collectivism. The Republican party lauds the individual. They love those little guys who have bought the Trump image of the so-called entrepreneur, those who beat their little chests and proclaim they too can be a millionaire in this land of the free. Those who stand by passively as their beloved shoe factory closes up and goes off to Indonesia, How pathetic. Do we still have to explain why unions are demonized? My father worked for the newspaper industry when workers had some clout. They had worked out a modus vivendi with the industry. They were highly skilled , well paid and were respected even by management. Get this: if a worker wanted a vacation, any time, he/she put their name on a board and whoever was available could take their place for the alotted time off, and no job was lost. Business still made a huge profit, and workers lived a respectful life.
You can band with others and still be an individual. In fact, when the collapse happens, you had better get to know your neighbor. See Cluborlov dot com.

Upon re reading, I also replied:

Terms can flip. Collectivism as I take it, means the subjugation of the individual to the rights of the collective – that are defined and enshrined in law by the oiligarchy (I like that typo, so I leave it in).
Neo liberal – is anything but tolerant. Neo con is anything but conserving a Republic for and of individuals.
The tv operates an extension and reflection of ‘push thinking’ and passively received image without relational communication, so as well as pulling that plug, we can actively pull or attract what is relevant and resonant to who we are – rather than force feed some notion of who we are ‘supposed to be’.

EU or the real You?


Iain Duncan Smith accuses pro-EU Tories of 'smears and threats'
Work and pensions secretary says ‘desperate and unsubstantiated’ claims damage integrity of those campaigning to stay in

Part of the problem is the loss of genuine communication of ideas and feelings, for attempts to simply coerce, trick and 'win' a narrative 'victory' by deceit.

One of the things I appreciate about Corbyn - is that - regardless of whether I agree with his conclusions - he is honourable in his methods - and does not resort to the dark arts of deceit.

The loss of honour is justified by those who define what they don't want in terms of a narrative evil. In such context communication is BLOCKED and ANY means becomes justified in the 'war against .

This seems to 'work' as a way of undermining and silencing what the 'war' defines as 'oppositional' threat but which deprives everyone of their true voice by asserting a directed narrative to which one must conform. (conformist collectivism). All apparent 'sides' of such 'war' operate the same principle of competing power rather than of a desire to understand and integrate. It is a loveless and robotic 'survival' mechanism that is denying a true basis for Life on Earth to flourish and thrive.

The choice for collectivism - under ANY masking of good intentions - is a forfeit of choice - of sovereignty of human willingness - to a loveless dictate of conformity - overlaid with distractive deceits. The legally defined Corporate - and indeed corporate financial 'trading' entity has a fundamentally lawless disregard for Humanity and for Life on Earth and uses symbols and imagery of serving the same in pursuit of profit - and survival as an entity that claims rights where they block transparency and accountability - while redefining the law (revolving door/captured regulators - > TTIP etc) so as to effectively transfer any residual power of sovereign will to a collectivist State that has at best only a facade of electoral accountability and a rigged justice system.

Relationships are not JUST about what we can GET from each other or what we fear we will LOSE to others. Relationships are Communication or else they are some conditioned reaction of mutual transactional avoidance of communication. Manipulators know this well and take advantage of latent conditioned imprints to trigger reactivity that effectively denies the possibility of discerning what i fact is really going on.

The EU is not about money and 'trade' it is about Control. If you believe human beings are essentially unworthy and uneducatable then vote for the collectivist mode of imposing Control. We do hold this belief much more than we may like to think because we are so heavily invested in this attempt to Control rather than communicate - and we are loath to abandon our investment. But pouring good currency of allegiance into a bad idea has to come to a brink where the experiential recognition of wrongness breaks the pattern of conformity and support - and genuinely seek the true of what is going on and not merely seek other way to protect a bad investment. That way lies and slavery.

Creativity is inversely related to what I am using the word Control for. Of course there is a natural quality of control WITHIN the movement of desire and fulfilment in relationship - but the suppression and denial of creative freedom in Living our Humanity is not gaining 'power' it is negating our true consciousness of Life to conforming to an idea of power that is dead - and no matter how artfully or intensely the presentation of life is asserted - there is no real willingness for relationship, communication or caring - no kindness or compassion.

Of course I appeal to your core Humanity in this moment - but you have to make your choice for your reasons - and I will communicate towards making this choice a consciousness issue rather than a manipulation of conditioned reaction whereby you 'know not what your do'.

You yearn for the comfort of ideological identity but life is not really so simple a narrative. Embracing Life is embracing humanity - and there's the rub is it not?

Good intentions pave the way to hell because they offer a way to seem righteous or kind while retaining a private loveless - indeed hateful - intent. I don't address you personally in this but all of us. Fear of emotional reality makes us fodder for manipulative purveyors of directed narrative.

Whoever you are and whatever your views, if you have a willingness to speak from the heart and also listen there, then there is the basis of something much more powerful than an 'alliance around private gain' - but not a power that protects us from our true feelings - by patronizing rationalisations or suppressive denial.

I don't care whether you are a union man, on the dole or a CEO - I care that you recognize and lean into your humanity in willingness to move out of - or correct for a dis-integrity - without piling on more blame and shame.

Make your case - don't focus about what others seem to be doing.
Yes there is insanity beneath the 'normal' of social and political thought (and resultant behaviour), but if integrity means anything - it is a core sanity of being that can be uncovered, recognized, witnessed and embodied as a felt presence rather than a presentational artifice. I don't expect anyone else to be perfect but if I look FROM a willingness in myself I can discern and recognize that quality in another. If I focus on the mask in others it strengthens the same in myself - so I don't mean to be patronising here - but your clear willingness for a better world deserves joining with - and this is what came up in me to share with you.

Ism Isn't a True God but Idol-ogy


Socialism, the God that Failed – And What's Coming Next

The above links to political comment on the 'death of socialism' in terms of its original inception or inspiration at least. For versions of it are becoming hardwired by technocracy via financial and corporate leverage.

Gore Vidal, the recently demised American writer, once famously quipped that the US economic system is "free enterprise for the poor and socialism for the rich".

I find isms to be rationalized attempts to map or formulate and then control or apply accordingly - and as such they are all 'dead' whereas the actuality of relational event or communication is alive. The sacrifice of individuality for presumed or assumed collective good is itself a further development or expression of the sacrifice of true nature for the identity of compliance and conformity. This mask or persona is part of being able to survive and operate within physical existence - but within the core template are imprints of guilt and fear that effectively deny and cover over the core being - and make perceptual multilayered distortion or 'mind' as an interloper to relationship and communication.

All such conditioning manifests in and as our lives, our relationships and world in repeating recognizable patterns, now generally accepted as 'the human condition'. Most thinking operates within the dictates of such conditioning, but insights and illuminations are bleedthroughs or openings of the mind to a greater perspective. Some come to question their surface reality and uncover the conditioning, so as to be free of it - but many seek to use it to gain personal advantage over those still unaware - because they themselves are under illusion of being free of it while it is running the script of their supposed conceptual and perceptual superiority in the terms it sets.

Collectivism (of any brand) is one expression of the identification within conceptual identity that denies Individual free willing - because free willing is always truly relational. Individualism as an ism or identity is a conceptual framework to which relational being - our Feeling Awareness - is subjugated and subjected to denial thereby. Not that conceptual models, maps or frameworks cant play a role where they are fitting - but the contextual agreement to use them is a relational outcome of communication in the largest sense, not a coercive trick or pressure of force.

The elitism is the idea that only the elect - the chosen - or indeed those who have chosen, are fit or worthy and the unworthiness of all else is required. Being inherently self-seeking and hierarchical, it does not integrate EXCEPTING in common antipathy to anything that threatens its 'free will' - as interpreted in terms of defending NON-relationality or a state of seeming separate independence.

Identifying power elites as unfair spoilers of the game for anyone else is still within the strategy of coercing outcomes rather than arriving at outcomes through relational willingness. Trouble begins at home and trouble abroad is a ruse to divert attention from disclosure of a kind that

would result in transformation - free willingly - in the truth of an open perspective. To the gamer - this is pulling the plug on play and so all players of every variation will play to prevent or delay this occurring - even choose death rather than let this occur.

The only way free of addiction is to restore perspective experience of wholeness and dare to find out what the outcome is of such a willingness. It is said that there is no communication with an addict until and unless they bottom out - because whatever they say or seem to agree is able to be triggered and replaced by the subconsciously operating  persona - that cannot be rationalized away or communicated with excepting by living a new and consistent pattern of actions from the trigger places.

A deep and pervasive cultural distrust of our Life, our nature, of receptivity, and the Feminine Principle of Feeling awareness is part of the self-castrated male aspect seeking to regain and assert a sense of lost potency by separating off from and imposing blame on Life - and making war on it as if there could be a winner!

There is no way to wrap or map Life in concept and make love or be love with it. It remains a private fantasy in which to worship a kind of death as victorious while presuming to rise above the abandoned gross and weak unworthiness of Life. But all that does is store up 'treasures' in hell. For what is rejected and denied is forever part of You and only your relational balance with all of who and what you wholly are will make a heaven of it. Investment in judgement is investment in Face and if everything is focussed in your Face book then you've forgotten Who you are until you lose face. However disillusionment is just another illusion of face unless truly opening from self regard to a true relational responsibility. If you are not vigilant to establish and maintain a presence of awareness then the mind will spin you into old patterns of reaction and you will not even know it - or will struggle in conflicted mind as if you are as it's thought narrative frames you to be.
