Crisis of Misinformation

Crisis of Misinformation
(Commentary to the entanglements within mis-identity)

There are facets to governance that are serving to hold the balance points - and there are usurpations or corruptions of governance that operate to distort and coerce outcomes - so as to perpetuate an 'out of balance' as if it were order - ie: power elitism.
Just using the term government may fog the issue. The legitimate process of serving the reintegration of a true balance is not one of stripping away all remaining checks to rapacious plunder...
People can and do elect to operate collectively as well as individually - whether that be in corporate cartels or trade unions and social movements of any kind. Of course the collective soon becomes prey to 'leaders', subversions, infiltrations, dilutions and corruptions, but that is not to deny that there WAS a collective alignment or movement for change.
Individualism is generally an elitist aspiration - because only those with some sense of power in their lives or indeed power in Life - will stand outside the inherited or dictated narratives of power.
Conditioning has more than a surface mentality - such as the misinformation and propaganda reflect, it has deep subconscious and unconscious core that all propaganda seeks to trigger and hook into.
The mind - as it is generally equated with the thinking of the persona - is simply a personal propaganda in attempt to defend against core fears and negative beliefs.
The overwhelming flood of misinformation brings the sense of sickness and insanity of not being able to trust ANY thinking whatsoever. While this is a wretched emotional state - it is exactly the basis of awakening a deep desire for truth - for something - ANYTHING - True! The awakening FROM mentalism to a heartfelt Life-Connected integrity of relationship and communication is the key shift from which all else will in time follow - because once one is sickened by lies and moves from investing in them - one is back in the realm of a receptivity to Life - as it is Moving - and not entirely entangled within narratives of self-serving-vanity.
Clinging to the investment in propaganda may take to side of being against what seems a dangerous and even evil 'individualism' - or against a dangerous and evil collectivism - but the truth that I feel to share here - is that we are given a will - a receptivity and expressive manifestation of what is received - in order to feel the situation for ourselves and discern how define ourselves in relation to it according to our true desire.
This is very different from asserting power over others - often by undermining it in others and inducing them to give it away to a predetermined agenda. There is no relationship of communication in that case - only deceit and coercion - in which a captive conformity is presented.
True individualism is based in an indivisibility that one has to extend, in order to receive - and recognize. Accepting placeholders as substitutes for the real thing is the pattern of using the FORM of Life as a way of denying (and gaining power over) Life. Readers here are likely aware of this as financial scams but perhaps less so in terms of the currency of ideas - as if ideas were separate conceptual things rather than inter and intra relational and vibrational communication.
Reading the movement or energy of the moment at hand has largely been subordinated to command and control (fear and power agenda). It is that which operates the negative version of the 'invisible hand'. Not the energetic movement Itself. The ideas through which we identify and relate are determining the perception-experience we then appreciate - or suffer.

Praetor:

As time goes on. The deception will increase. Alt-news is now speculating and discussing the use of green screens on the MSM channels and how this will effect perception of events. Just watch a 'good' sci-fi movie and amaze at how real it appears, and knowing all the time its not real. As time goes on. The deception will increase, and the truth will be very hard to discern!!!

To Praetor:
All the more inducement to develop discernment in place of giving trust to ANY forms. For any form of idea or appearance can be used as a trojan through which to hide agenda that belies the presentation. We do this first to deceive ourself - and use others as the power of agreement whereby to 'make real' such pretences. Whether those 'others' be considered power conferring masters, power joining allies, or our vanquished powerless underlings.
Exactly what Is 'reality' is a profound question - because everything else - bar nothing - proceeds FROM that. The attempt to determine of conform reality to self-concept is a profound and fragmenting confusion.

Fear, the Other, and Escalation of Conflict

FBI Director Comey is a Maniac
By Philippe Gastonne

"FBI Director James Comey on Monday defended his agency's position that too-tough-to-crack encryption poses a threat to national security, arguing that terrorists are increasingly using the technology to lock out law enforcement and coordinate attacks".

It passes through my mind that the general belief and perception that proprietary technologies are 'secure' is what is needed for the tech sector to be able to sell them. Just as the perception of stability is part of the markets game. In fact so called leaders or the puppet-masters behind them are giving more energy and attention to managing and manipulating perception than they are to actually connecting wirth reality - excepting within the scope of their own spin -  such as embodying the phrase "unless you force them to".
On the other hand, the attempt to manage 'reality' albeit at perceptual level is a hugely complex and taxing - indeed exhausting - enterprise. So much so that the disguises are peeling away and the underlying psychology revealed in raw sight. I believe that THIS raw dump of fear and guilt is what human consciousness has - in a sense demanded protection from.
Caught up (identified) in the role and character of 'protector' or 'saviour', and drifting into self-justifications that protect against ANY other way of looking at or even approaching the core issues involved, the programmed robot brings on its own destruction whilst believing it approaches victory.
The key to the false identity in fear is in my opening paragraph. One only has to conceive and believe in a threat to erect a defence against it - and that defence then propagates and persists the very thing it was supposed to defend FROM as perception of threat. This then withholds the essential basis of trust and communication by communicating itself as a strategic presentation -  indeed a mask of communication  - in the guise of some currency of mutual acceptability or justification.
The mutual projection of fears onto each other results in fearing, hating and fighting the other - as if to resolve or expel a split within one's own consciousness that is designed to hide itself within the desire to SEE it in the 'other'. In the one who is no longer recognized as sharing Life and the qualities of Human existence - but is put down to raise one's own perceived status 'up' - or indeed set up to be exploited and then put down when stripped of value. In this perception, one has lost sight of one's innate or true worth and is struggling to make an identity of relative worth with the materials and resources to hand - the first of which is judgement.
Judgement fixes and locks down perception in meanings that are always loveless - even if couched in terms of caring or kindness. And so it almost always results in a reflection of defence, opposition and adversity.
Investing in an identity of one's own making - that is - the achievement of adapting to a loveless existence and actually believing it is true power and presence - when in fact it is an assertion of a defence against one's primary fear-conditioning - becomes the currency of mutually agreed self-definition that for the most part operates tacitly - because we almost all of us - most of the time operate from such defended reaction as normal. But that does not make it natural.
Our nature is an 'Is' but our personality structure is a 'does' or an act that requires the constant vigilance, maintenance and defence of a continuity manager or else the true nature will restore because it is the actuality and wholeness that is present - but denied awareness and attention by a split off sense of self that no longer trusts or recognizes its true Self - being fitted to the fears and demands of its world.
The devices by which such self-imaged identity is maintained include every kind of obfuscation, diversion, dissociation and denial. For YOU are empowering such defence in belief that the thoughts , beliefs and perceptions of threat are fixed, real and demanding of immediate response - indeed automatic reaction.
The projection of the 'shadow self' is different for each of us and yet the same in its fundamental function of seeming to split us off from a truly FELT Sense of Life, Presence and Communication - and thus scrabbling and struggling for power OVER what seems to be a chaos outside of us.
Safety is an inside job. Regardless the circumstances - this is so. Nothing external will actually bring a sense of safety to one who is divided, unsettled or disturbed in themselves. Problems always expand to fill the space available. There is no end to them.
To feel safety is actually the undefended relationship to one's own true Source Nature - which paradoxically can know such safety through the course of a crash, a fracas or an otherwise challenging situation, without self-conscious reflex to attend one's own needs because they are integral to serving the need of the whole situation.
So what we call self-worth is a cover over a sense of inadequacy by which we feel specially invalid in some way, and what we call safety is a temporary sense of security that by definition does not abide or last - and so like an addiction must be forever attended to.
In American movies the corny line of promising safety is almost a signature trait. The promise of safety is not in the world, but in the Spirit or true Consciousness that  is all that is presencing Itself right where you Are, regardless of any challenges arising to you in your experience of what is here and now, or indeed from your recollections or anticipations of what is otherwise NOT here now.
What else do the movies offer? The bad guys and the protagonist or central characters - who regardless their faults are the good guys.
This kind of thinking is mythological. The device of seeing what is wrong with everyone else and the meeting with that which is in some sense coming to get you  - because it is part of you unrecognized and wants to be released, not rejected.
As long as the investment is in the war-minded personae script, nothing of the consciousness responsibility can come through. For if anything does, it is only allowed so as to make a better image or a better armour or a better weapon. This world can be easily seen. I invite you to shift perspective and see an entirely different world - even if the forms are at first the same.
Railing at 'bastards' and loving to join in hating scapegoats is exactly what perpetuates war-mindedness in which offensive or pre-emptive defence is seen as totally justified - and collateral damage unavoidable. Stop acting like prey. Stop acting like potential predators. Find another way. Address the issues with more honesty than the personal investment would otherwise allow. It is after all, up to you  and not your employed 'defender'.


Oh and of course the idea of enemies of ANY kind having a secret means to operate 'behind your back' and under your radar - is acutely fearful to our 'protectors' - as is their ability to do so to any of us for any reason any of them decide is justified, without due accountability for some blanket cover of "National Security". They are priming the pump of fear by persisting in such unscrupulous acts as have been revealed and found to be their normal fusion of corporate and national interest - though those on the inside know it is not the nation that is being protected, but the growth that it hosts. Until its assets are stripped and it is discarded for another host - for which strategy is already in play - for their investments demand it. The term intifada means a 'shaking off'. This must be primarily an extension of Presence that communicates itself wordlessly. The fearful seek to dehumanise and then manipulate and exploit. Meet the fearful, not the 'powerful'. Find your true Roots - not in the past - but in living presence. You are still here hiding your light because the world was not safe enough to be your true self . Well its hard to see anything in the dark except fear's imaginings.


To another commenter focussing in part on the phrase:

Maybe no one will be creative enough" ..., "unless you force them to."

I don't feel to engage with all your various points many of which I resonate with, but to observe in an individual's life, that crisis are often generated from denied fears such as to eventually force some degree of integration and transformation. This is a Collective Lifetime - indeed an epoch ending. A Big Shift. Or maybe a Big Extinction. Perhaps we each choose every thought, moment, minute and day the world we wake as living - and the idea of the One Objective Reality is simply a good backdrop for the particular kind of play we have obviously agreed to set up together - or we would be playing something else.

The blindly despotic may think they are forcing their agenda - but Life always has other plans - and uses everything that is available in our consciousness to serve towards an integrative resolution for each perspective and all of them together. No one has to listen, but there are increasing inducements to do so.

Someone I forgot said "If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done". Between a rock and a hard place, an expansion of perspective is the only out. Indeed it can show everything in a new light without having to change. And then one can choose what one prefers without the dilemma of the split mind in negative charge and attempted defence. Death also opens perspective - bit that is not what I was suggesting - though in some sense transformation is inherent to all that is invested and identified within the world of change.

If State paranoia is going to figure my exit and not a bear or a bus or a burst blood vessel - then let it be whatever it will be. Right now I am interested in wholeness of being - for in that is a freedom I cherish and embrace and enjoy anyway.... any way I can imagine or uncover in my experience of relationship called 'now'. I am not driven or attracted to hate. I have uncovered it within myself enough to see why human beings needed to project it away to 'survive', but I am finding a willingness rather than reinforcing and propagating a wilfulness. But this is not an imposed set of ideas so much as learning by living.

The need to know opens resources that otherwise are simply not available. If you exceed your remit you will meet a 'permission denied' in one way or another and have fun with a bear... I bet you find Phil Zimmerman is focussing in what he believes is legitimate rather than in what he hates - or he couldn't embody the pathway he is in a sense sharing by loving what he does.

The enslavement of the Athenians?

The enslavement of the Athenians?

I meditated with this issue today and wrote the following to Laura’s Blog - but received “This message could not be accepted”. So I put it here and will add it to my own blog.
I write to the prior awareness - not to the thinking of the world - and so this will make no sense to those who still identify exclusively within what they take as their own thinking. Therefore it is offered freely to be considered or not according to whatever is held to resonate true for the reader. Such resonance is more valuable than words, for one’s own stirring is not really the gift of an ‘other’ but one’s own synchronicity of Self.

Who has ears to hear - let them hear... For a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.
(Jesus … and Simon and Garfunkel)

Crisis can be deliberately or artificially generated as a means to direct the reaction by framing it in terms of fear and guilt. Such is the war of deceit that would bait the mind to abandon it's true function and be usurped by an imposed or interjected 'protector' who is one with the coercive intent that generates the situation of lack or scarcity. Once one reacts from the baited or suggested temptation to fear, then that fear becomes actualised within the consciousness as a core belief or conditioning that then unconsciously frames all that then follows. Ultimately, what we call the human condition is a human conditioning.
Baiting the mind into division and conflict is the operation and agenda of power in the world - or power as is worshipped in the world, for it cannot be true power if it calls upon coercion and deceit to support it.

In following the suggestion to get 'more' by seeking to add to oneself at the expense of others - and in the denial of wilful 'forgetting' of Wholeness or Source, one engages in a journey of 'descent' and fragmentation in an experience of loss until amidst a Prodigal wasteland, one's allegiance to the voice of a fearful separate-self protection, falls away to a true reMembering; to a true Foundation from which to live.
The integrative movement of being rises within the ruins of the segregative 'end-game as a completely different perspective - but one which initially requires conscious desire and willingness to yield through fear-thinking in order to rise AS a Self-Awareness by which to be moved in wholeness of being.

The 'Resource' of our true divinity may SEEM limited and weak or to have abandoned us, when we attempt to fit it to our own 'power' agenda - regardless of our heartfelt identifications with whatever facet of the divine we most identify in as symbol or representation of truth and life and reason.

'Crisis'  - I have been told - is represented in Far Eastern character that contains the meaning of danger AND opportunity. Now the opportunistic mentality of the segregative self-sense is simply seeking a separate self interest in disregard of others or life excepting it is seen to impinge on one's own. But the opportunity of uncovering the bait or trigger point of a falsely framing set of self-definitions or beliefs is the opportunity for healing in place of war and division.

The moneylenders in the template are to be swept out of our OWN consciousness, FIRST. For the template level of mind is what has been allowed to come between us and our true Worth-ship. And without giving or extending true With-ness, and thus sharing Creation in whatever we think and feel and say and do, we are sucked into false currency that is made real by mutual reinforcement of a sense of fear, guilt and lack, that is covered over in ourself by projecting onto OTHER.

The willingness to NOT choose to let the mind of fear and guilt make or set our choices or reactions is the truly receptive space into which the divine moves through us and to us in shared Creation. For the unwillingness to see the light or worth in another is the unforgiveness of self that operates to deny communication in seeking justice in vengeance according to personal and cultural narratives of grievance that are never wholly justified. The force of the anger that would prevail upon its world is the desire and belief that hate is justified. The mind of such justifiction is in wilful blindness to true Presence.

I am not saying that our experience and our feelings are wrong or invalid - but that we are in relation to our feelings and experience according to the thought and perspective we attune to, We are not truly victim to our experience excepting we insist that our focus of attention in thought has NO effect and that ALL cause is outside and apart from us in the act of OTHERNESS upon our body and its hostage mind.

This is merely a description of how the idea of separation interjects itself within a unified Consciousness. Fixating attention within the separation-self IS the loss of conscious awareness of grace, fluidity and innocence of being.

I write in with-ness to the call to Joy. Because joy Speaks my true being in a way I cannot of myself replicate, I am freely willing to question the joy-less sacrifice of Life to the false gods of fear and guilt-thinking. Opening and growing a natural desire for a truly honouring life through a capacity for embrace that is not in and of myself alone but is given me in true willingness to join with another in shared purpose. Fear can SEEM to unite in purpose but always AGAINST and without any true intimacy of undefendedness to the Spirit within.

For every form of Life is an image or symbol through which a deception can operate. Integrity is the groundedness in which discernment comes naturally. The conditions of such 'end-times' as we are meeting are those that call upon a deeper self-honesty than we may have imagined or conceived of. And this is the willingness to challenge and question our fears rather than to seek 'protector powers' to 'take them away' or keep them hidden while we persist in an out-of-true conflicted and dissonant 'life', while leaving others or indeed tomorrow, to pay the cost as a sort of 'delaying the inevitable'.

True currency is revealed through the breakdown of the false - As one is willing to receive and act from what is shared or opened true.

There's no success like failure - and failure's no success at all

Watch the moment when Great British Bake Off presenter Mel Giedroyc inspired a biscuit blunder in the crucial final moments of Tuesday's show.

This clip offers a great metaphor for ungrounded or wishful government interventions.

Supporting what doesn't work and cannot work and then being unable to withdraw without seeming to be the cause of collapse!

Of course it isn't only governments who enact this pattern. Our financial 'rulers' set up similar scams but usually make it seem like someone else is responsible - and buy up cheap assets.

But closer to home, our own mentality indulges vanities or wishful thinking that leads to lifestyles or relationships that cant work and will never work - and likewise seek to keep the appearances together until time runs out.

The politics (actions that express and define our society) of today seems so much focussed on 'keeping appearances together', such as to be a war on our own mind - where what is actually going on cannot be addressed or even acknowledged, and any attempt at communication is subverted into polarized denial device such that persons and 'blame' get to dominate as the maintenance of the delusion of the status quo and the entertainment-distractions of self-righteous opinion.

It is perhaps a matter of how much we have invested in the appearances of something that lacks integrity or true worth.
There is actually a great freedom in not having to keep it all up any more. "I cant do it" is a simple and liberating honesty that - accepted - lets the chips or indeed the biscuits - fall where they may while resuming a Real Life. Everyone has one and is one - but its back in a closet because it doesn't look like an Emperor's outfit.

Maybe one has to do the utmost while a ship is going down until baling out or making rafts is no longer possible. But essentially what we invest in - where we give value - will become foundational to all that comes after.

Hard to credit that this 'bake-off' isn't a set up. The implanted pathetic one for whom the audience cringes at their somewhat sadistically written scripted presentation. But life also imitates art and a nation of telly-tubbies rises to mimic the culture that is quite deliberately fed them - or does a desire for unconsciousness demand to be fed one way or another?

There's no market for anything sane - what does that say about the mind that manipulates what once was a vehicle or focus of exchange of Goods and Services. (Capitalized to draw attention to that life is good and service to life serves all).

One might claim life is not good and that if you don't serve only yourself - no one else will. Such is the power of our investment in ideas. We really don't have to set up a life or world that fails. We simply need to re-visit the definitions and ideas we are already investing in that are not honestly working for our life, our world - without blame - so as to let go of what does not work and can not work - and bring our willingness to what is already working - and cooperate with that!

Humiliation goes with the territory here. If we cant release a self-specialness then we cant embrace the native integrity of our being. A mindset of blame, shame and guilt absolutely forbids any real engagement with problem or solution , and which cannot be effected by 'divide and rule' mentality. But if that is almost all one has ever known, how could I get this message across? I say 'almost' - because no one is totally without some stirring or moment of being seen, accepted, honoured or embraced in a quality that demanded nothing of them and let them be themselves.

Corporate Disaster poisons the world we share

Look carefully at the way 'creative' obfuscation is employed in all our relationships. It isn't just the corporate accounts or government budgets or the PR and manipulative deception so as to maintain the illusions that we assert to others and OURSELVES. Sanity and honesty are inextricably facets of each other. There are 'games' being played that cost the Earth - and cost the appreciation, well being and wealth of what would we would be living - in an integrated willingness of purpose and worth. Corporate selfishness NEEDS to be constrained within the community interest or its simply exploits, undermines and destroys, in the wake of blind short term interests. There's no profit in such loss. Governments and official regulatory bodies NEED to hold their service as a duty of trust and beware of inducements to cosy up to the 'rich and powerful' when those lobbies attempt to use their leverage for mean and callous ends. It isn't that bad people need to become good - but that we need to stop and reevaluate what the Good truly means. Unless we stop and start from a fresh perspective, we are always trying to force life to fit our self illusion. Our whole way of life will change from a rediscovery of what life truly is. Or of course one can insist on persisting from a basis that has never worked, is not working, and will never work. Of course it seems to work - thus the protection of the status quo by those who are in power. But the real cost is becoming increasingly more difficult to deny - and many are less willing to be controlled by loveless thinking. The emotional 'body' of the American people is feeling hurt, confused and outraged. The feeling needs to be acknowledged - but it does not need to become a basis for satisfying the urge for vengeance under the disguise of justice. Educate. Feel for the truth that can be received. We are oil addicts because we have used it to empower a way of life that exploits rather than shares. We can change our way of life, set a fresh direction, and get off the addiction, one step at a time. The risk factors at Macro level need to come right down. It isn't ok to make these kind of tradeoffs at the cost of a commonwealth that hardly appears on balance sheets. At the microlevel they need to come up. We as individuals need to dare to explore, discover and grow the ways of a true peace amidst the lessons that we experience as symptoms of ignorances past. There is nothing compulsive about ignorance apart from a desire to stay in the dark, play out the games of division and blame and shame and love the sense of our own image, judgement and opinion as if these offer safety, fulfillment or sanity.

The Good news about the economy

Here is the good news:

We are being brought to a willingness and opportunity for a fresh perspective that will genuinely express spiritual and cultural renewal.

This is an individual shift that becomes a social movement because it is the individual that actually connects, discerns and communicates, and yet find that others are likewise becoming receptive to the same relevant insights.

To give the focus to what is wrong is disempowering. It is helpful to use the experience of fear, conflict, confusion and loss as am alarm to listen more deeply - with a greater honesty than our superficial strategies would allow.

True spiritual discernment has nothing to do with promoting personal belief systems or manipulating the world or others into the likeness of any kind of god - spiritual or material. It is simply the willingness to listen in the silence of our being - even amidst the chatter or drama of the world - with the trust and desire to let truth be revealed.

Ingenious thinking is not the way to truth but can be clearly seen in our times as a deception. And truth is not ever an object of our thought - nor can it be used as a shield or weapon in the play of human conflict.

The real culprit is not the shadowy super rich or their bankers - nor the politicians who operate within the confines dictated to them by the 'economics' that are espoused and shared as if meaningful and desirable.

We cannot 'think or spin our way out' of the conditions we have generated for ourselves but we can uncover a fresh appreciation of truth - of reality. And then we will see from a different perspective and live from a new basis - even amidst the seeming mess and chaos of human relationships.

To uncover or be restored to wholeness of being is not a goal - but is both a starting place and a way of traveling. To live 'outside' the heart results in greed for self in a disconnected sense of specialness. It despoils and exploits without knowing what it does for it sees its own 'needs' above all else - including truth. It is NOT a sound or sane basis for good housekeeping or a loving home.

It IS up to us individually to decide what is of value and to honour and align with it accordingly. If we give value to what cannot actually fulfill us we simply become possessed by our so called possessions.

We are afraid of our Spirit because we believe it calls for sacrifice, but in truth it is illusions that are released. Maintaining deceptions is an enormous burden and strain - that we are accustomed to as a slave to heavy chains.

To take a fresh look in an honesty of spirit is not in any way the same as to rebrand or redistribute presentations of realty so as to extend or maintain the status quo.

We feel fear, there is confusion, we seem to have lost, and yet face more loss - with a mounting tide of crises of which we have a diminishing capacity to respond to. The underlying models and mentalities that we have grown and relied on are part of the cause of the problems we face.

Is there not a better way of looking at this?
Do I want to find it?

Global crisis invites Intimate response

What should we do about the increasingly serious warnings over global warming?



Chicken Licken will leads us to Foxy Loxy. Who uses fear and confusion to personal gain.
Don't lose your head, be calm instead.
We really do not understand or control life, Or indeed the planet as much as we think we do - and we do have a deep seated predisposition to guilt as an fundamental aspect of our self image or concept.

Presence of mind, a clear, compassionate and proportionate sense of current needs, a refusal to be ruled by fear no matter how it makes its presentation - these are the marks of wisdom.
Note that this issue has dominated attention as the overriding environmental issue but is not expressing a sense of love for our world and each other but a fearfully justified mandate to self righteousness amidst a sense of guilt and 'punishment'.

What I do want us to ‘do’, is awaken from the arrogance and delusions of our self-image based thinking and allow a tangible heartfelt relationship with our selves, each other and our world. Writ small our selfish delusion wastes our life of its capacity to wonder at, appreciate and share life - but writ large our selfish ignorance is systematically undermining our life support systems. The 'sin' of it is not to be scapegoated and attacked but to be recognized as a mentality that we all share. I do not advocate blame - but awakened responsibility.

We live incredibly wastefully and destructively - generally in ignorance - because we are given to serve private self interest as if it truly serves our desire and need.

I feel we are amidst most fundamental change in which we do not have an option to remain as we were.
This change is occurring at the most fundamental level and we experience it often in part as loss of control, breakdown of function and order, division and confusion on may levels.
The fear around change can be deepseated and induce regression into a seige-like posture in attempt to regain the illusion of control.
Yet the oppportunity of change is to open a fresh curiosity and willingness - not to seek private self advantage - but to be restored to a greater participation in life. To discover a basis for trust despite all the evidence that would seem to dictate otherwise.

There is no war between heart and mind - when the mind serves the heart.
When the mind thinks it can act independently it uses everything for itself and denies or becomes 'unconscious' of the heart - of the relationships of the whole. Yet the heart is always presently with you - unrecognised and usurped by a false emotional spin that tells a story you thought you needed to hear.

To take the spin of the mind for reality is to be deluded - even if billions seem to do the self same thing.
Humanity needs to check in. I'd say is being called in.
We are not and never have been, independent of life, of our planet or of each other. It is time to accept a function within life that is truly relational. The presentations we spin to ourselves and each other serve a desire to be special. This puts us at war with our truth, each other and our world and makes us alone and makes us a stranger to ouselves.

The mind that believes we must do as fear says or be damned becomes quick to damn others and it is not easy to remain at peace when others demand your guilt. But there is no peace in guilt.
There is a crisis of transformation - but it is not something we can appreciate from the perspective of a loveless mentality. Nor is a crusade a means to share in the goodness of life.

Reality is not determined by consensus - but revealed in the intimacy of being.
There are times when more  thinking is not the way forward - and there is no way back.
There are resources of our being that can be called upon - not in magical or wishful thought - but in conscious trust. - to discover the next step, to be guided in the truth that our thinking does not make.

I'll add that the thinking written here is of meanings clothed in thought. If any of the meanings resonate - then thought has been used to lead beyond thinking - to a recognition that is yours. The willingness to receive is in us all - but often blocked, because we think we already know.
