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.

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’.

Good and Evil?

A commenter on this page asked me the following:

"Are evil and good the same entity?"

Most of what I write is as it says at the top; a willingness to listen. Giving form to what comes is also a willingness to feel what phrases and vocabularies to use and editing to correct or clarify - but still within the willingness of listening.

Here's my response - it is stated but only to your own willingness to consider and reflect - for you can seek to determine or you can consent to recognize. These are different uses of the mind. One judges - and is judged, the other accepts and is accepted (knows no rejection).

Evil and good are not entities.
The desire for the knowledge of good and evil is the desire to judge it so.
In Original Creation is no evil. For all is recognized God (Good) - without a second).
From the desire to judge good or evil is an image of God, (of Self - of Life - of Existence Aware) - taken as God, that is then confronted with experience as an entity over and against the Infinite that is not yet embraced, recognized or accepted within the imaged self and so seems OTHER - for ANY image, idea or symbol can only point to or be an expression OF the Infinite Creator-Mind.
The judgement of OTHER unrecognized brother -  becomes the projection of dissonance that is then sought to escape by seeking to get rid of it. But this is self-rejection and thus rejected self experiences itself limited, denied, abandoned, betrayed and victim of evil as well as fearing it is evil to deserve such communication.
The fear of split minded judgement seeks to regain the 'Good' but can only grasp at forms that momentarily echo Connectedness - but then reinforce a sense of disconnection and depletion.

The contraction and density of fear, and the fragmentations of projecting/escaping evil operate a facet of self-will which denies or forgets the Good in the attempt to regain it in false terms - for the Good cannot be grasped or possessed and such idea is a confusion of identity in form.
The expansion and rising of awareness through recognition, reintegrates to a truly extending creation aligned in acceptance and joy - with no sense of a need to posses or grasp and therefore free of any sense of possession by evil in thought word or deed.
These two operate the polarities of the physical experience as an entity in form or rather through form.
The journey of experience as the unfolding perspective of self-awareness is the 'rewakening' to the Good while still in lifetime - yet the Good is strictly not in time but is the glimpse of the timeless bleeding through the ordinary moment of appearance as blessing or joy.
The experience and belief in evil is a complex deceit because deceit is the lie and the father of the lie. However, it has a role in the recognition and forsaking of what is NOT you - as part of accepting what Is. Prior to such willingness it masks itself in the forms of the good in the false promise of becoming something in its own power. For the sense of powerlessness it will not accept and so cannot recognize or yield the judgement by which such experience of powerlessness is generated.
When judgement seems to be protector or saviour, fear is hiding beneath it. Is that evil?
It will seem evil when hiding and protection sacrifice all else to achieve it. And if that is to be blotted out from mind external evil MUST be sought and found to generate a relative innocence upon which to make a self in the world.

If evils are pretended not to be - they grow in the dark unseen while working through us unknown.
"Sufficient unto the day be the evils thereof" offers a timely proportionate adjunct to investigate and challenge the evils or ills that arise as if to spoil or interrupt one's day - for that which is resisted, persists and that which is fought is fed attention and focus. So the way to put behind you what has no place in you is one of pausing from reaction, releasing one's thought or judgements to a genuine receptivity and trusting the movement of one's being. If fear is felt, feel it but do not its bidding. Let it be accepted that it is there so as to come out from darkness. Now it can move and change and reveal you to yourself in ways that expand your capacity for Life.

To tune into the fearful or evil, is to participate in its vibratory correspondences. To open into a true relationship with the living is to put fear behind you and shift to a higher frequency perspective. This can be so readily observed as to seem redundant - yet fascination with evil actually attracts an unguarded attention and allowing or receiving love, joy or peace will often be cut off or recoiled from almost immediately. So it can be said that you contain both within you and yet if you learn to choose one and let the other go the temptation to judge against will be left hanging - because you will be whole in your choosing. One cannot be whole in denial for that which is denied is inherent to the seeming existence of the denier.

Thankyou for the question. If it is a true question, you will have the measure you set.

The Fear State

Drivers, Beware: The Costly, Deadly Dangers of Traffic Stops in the American Police State

By John Whitehead

I did not feel to write about the specific symptom but the underlying malaise:


A breakdown of trust and communication has been unfolding itself as 'identity' and 'society' for a long time. The systems of rights and rules that are invoked to protect, become the trap within which one suffers.
Unowned or unfaced fear paints a world of evil, danger and loss - OUTSIDE the mind, so as to escape the core conflict within. A split off mind then invokes power to assert and protect itself - a self that gains justified or righteous identity by reaction against a perceived threat, evil or fearful outcome to its private or personal interests.
The WANTING to see evil in others becomes more exposed - more intense - as the capacity to maintain a sham identity breaks down, abd such a focussing FEEDS and fuels the perception and experience of one's shadow fear - regardless what is actually present.
In other words a displacement and dissociated state becomes visibly and tangibly obvious rather than socially invisible. However - to others of a like disposition, the fear-driven reaction is perceived as evil OUTSIDE in the self-same disease - and the resonant attraction of fearful vibrational thought aligns events, behaviours and interpreted outcomes for those who accept and share such thought as currency.

The currency of unjustified loss or attack, wounded or outraged victimhood, grievance and vengeance is the toxic debt of a world driven by a fearful identity that knows not what it does. That is is is almost entirely un-Conscious of its true thought, of its active desire and the devices by which hatred, disregard and indifference to anything but what its own believed but conflicted and distorted self-interest dictates.
They Sleep - but what is true of us - truly lives. There is no way to reach the sleeping but that they perceive it as threat, however, the content of their dreams can be nuanced as to provide ever more clear contrast and distinction between the original but largely suppressed and disregarded nature - and the identification within the illusion of power. Seeing truly the joy of one and the pain of the other is also seeing who you truly are and what is truly not you - and therefore to be released or allowed to fall off.

When fear and its defensive layering of deceits and devices fall away, a greater perspective is restored in which one is not relating via a separation script out of one's personal sense of past - but in a greater presence. When one is actually in communication and trust within oneself - one naturally knows how to be within the current situation - for one is activley listening and receptive to what is here - rather than acting out from a script of what (your mind or a social mind says), 'should be'.

Our judgement goes out into the world as the projecting of a primary sense of loss of love and separation trauma. That we have 'matured' a societal expression of such pain does not mean it is not active - but it does mean we have all to some degree chosen and learned to see SOMETHING ELSE than our separation script.

In the world we share of bodies and things it is obvious we can attack or hurt and be likewise hurt. But there is a door into such a world that was hidden as part of the entrance-ment - for one cannot have the experience of the world as we are currently choosing to experience it without first suffering a self-attack in such a way as to then believe ourself attacked from without - AND wholly justified in judgement.
A mind is thus split - while such act is re-enacted, and its experience of and relationship with all that is has divided as if to prevail over or rule is not the true extension and reflection of one's unique and natural signature presence.
Most all of what passes as 'thinking' is in fact an interference or jamming signal to a true reception.
How far down the rabbit hole of fragmented mind do you want to go might be simply how unquestioned and unchecked is the assertion and cherishing of the presumption to judge against others as if to maintain a personal power over them - be that in secret or in waiting or in feigned alliance or conditional 'love'.

Nothing is what the surface movie says it is - but that you want the movie to keep you asleep to the deeper disturbance you are not yet ready to face within yourself. And so the world of war and its illusions of control, order or conditional peace.
A dictatorship disguised as a democracy - as if you actually have a freedom and a choice as a result of asserting a power that - if you would wake up enough to look directly at - you would see you never had. I cannot truly judge another - but if I do I can only reveal my own core separation issues thereby. And so that can be helpful to me in accepting you as you are - and forgive myself for trying to make you something that you are not - as if you are just a part or an extra in a movie just for me.

Discernment is a living relational sense of who I am and where I be or do relative to what is here - in this moment. There is no template or system that can substitute for a living relationship - but the attempt to substitute such idea for truth is the device by which to sleep - or as was once defined: to die in sin rather than live in love. For unconsciously dictated experience is not only the denial of what you truly have and are - but is the way to loss even that which you think you have... until the defence of unconsciousness is no longer equated with taking a living inheritance just for your own personal wishes or gratifications.

Perhaps the word careful is degraded now - as if to mean fearful. Be caring 'out there' as a direct fruit of caring for the quality of the joy of living - and know that it is everyone's divine inheritance - but the entanglements of hidden hates and fears prevent the appreciation of such Self in another. Recognizing they are there beneath or within the experience is a first step in owning them. No one can release a choice that they assert is the power of another upon them. But from within can a fresh perspective arise that the fear-mind cannot imagine - so neither ask or expect it to. But insofar as a guardian is invoked to protect - thank it or honour its function first - and then negotiate a win-win from a communication channel opened. You are not wrong to protect yourself - for what you love you protect. But you may be wrong in what you are accepting AS your self - and it may be in your interest to check in with what and who you are believing, asserting and defending as IF it were true.

You may have to do this in a split second when pulled over by muggers - or by police. But the choice for grievance is the choice which UNCHOSEN - opens the way for a discernment of insight and intuition to operate within the wholeness that grievance can only block.

The evil of blind and terror driven self

This reply to one who brought up the occurrence of abusive and coercive acts of Satanic abuse in 'high society' as touched on by the film 'Eyes Wide Shut' as well as other acts of gratification or indeed blackmail set ups. The post to which I reply is shown at the bottom of this reply.
- - -

I am aware that what you say does go on. I don't care for coercive persuasion - I always take such to be the deceiver as a simple matter of course - for truth does not operate persuasion techniques.
However, I also feel your humanity so I am happy to share with you such as we are moved to share and in clear decision to share with eyes open to what is within as well as without.
Focussing on the difficult makes fear the master - but sharing the experience of the easy grows the courage to move through fear.
So what can be said or indeed done about such evil as violates, corrupts and deceives?

I wrote a longer missive - but instead I simply state that if you have even an inkling of the Nature of Mind you can have a sense of what the idea of an oppositional power would manifest if you were to take it seriously and project it. Jesus said that we look through a lens darkly. I tell you that one cannot shatter the Peace of God nor break off a figment and make it truly separate - but one can believe one HAS and experience one's belief with all the mind that would equally go forth and multiply light, love and joy.

The power of belief is talked about as if our surface thinking beliefs have power - yet the surface belief operates to maintain a powerlessness that secretly worships the 'power' of terror, guilt and death - for 'death, pain, sickness and corruption all 'witness' to power OVER Life - and that wish is the root of a 'split minded' consciousness that 'chooses between' the true and false. Between Is and is NOT.

But it effectively conceals this simple 'choice' within a falsely framed choice of good and evil - both of which serve to engage and reinforce the mind within its own experience - for neither can exist without the other, though each operates on the denial of the other.

Jesus witnesses a unified consciousness. This doesn't 'fight evil' it undoes it and redeems that which lies beneath the distortions. One 'comes into' the human world through a conscious choosing to justify hate in judgement - and one 'overcomes' or transcends the world, in the willingness to release or forego what is felt to be absolutely justifiable hate or judgement in yielding to the Father's Will - to the Unified Perspective that speaks truly of your original nature.

there is NO limit on what a mind can imagine but there is a limit on the pain one can abide as a result of self limiting judgement. Even as ye do unto the least, ye do unto Me, is EVERYONE's awakening recognition. Forgive them for they know not what they do is your release of thoughts in your mind that suggest you have a will in opposition to your Source. Put it behind you and be fearlessly open to truth OR hearken and obey the call to war; to perpetual war. It is always by your choice and you can always choose to change your mind. But you cannot choose to make your mind your own but that God's Voice is in you. You can cover it with diversion of terrible compulsive tyrannies - but your Consciousness is not yours to create nor indeed lose.

This much I feel to join with the awareness of evil - that it be not hidden in deceit or pretended not to be where it is actively operating 'unconsciously'. But the only call I would sound as alarm is that which calls to look within and OWN that our mind is split, own that we are out of true, own that we need and desire healing and immediately release that which has no true belonging in us.

Yes, we can communicate truly in thought word and deed and bear witness to the presence of Life. We may restrain or check harmful behaviours, we may expose deceits, but we cannot make another's choice and if we elect to attempt to, we embody coercive will.

I might say that if you choose to relinquish such will, you find it sneaks in again and again and again. But persisting in true forgiveness uncovers the triggers within one's personal belief system whereby one is baited to react and lose perspective. We never really forgive another. All forgiveness is self-forgiveness.

Everything true of Spirit has a subverted egoic corruption. It is not human mind that properly denies or undoes evil - but Divine Perspective. It is simply foolish to assert that evil is not real while one operate as part of its botnet. Discerning the true of you is NOT the same as generating self-righteousness.

EVERYTHING depends on the foundation we accept. Waking to the foundation we have falsely accepted and been deceived by is disturbing, but it leads to the next, and that is to dissociate from that which hurts or denies the joy and worth of Life - as it is given you to notice you are party to.

Personifying the mind is to make a mask upon which to play out multiple personae. Others may choose to - but you don't have to. Focus on the discernment of truth and not the distracting play of personal investments or you lose perspective, communication of support, guidance and dispirit yourself.
God is no respecter of persons - means look beneath appearances to the communcation of Life that is thus embodied truly and clearly, or through a glass darkly.

Don't even for a moment think that we are going to out think the deceiving mind, for that is its art. or understand in terms of gaining leverage, prediction and control, for that will control you.
Everything we give, we receive. A negative loop has to disintegrate for the grace of being to inspire a positive - integrating and unifying loop. Don't feed the troll!

three short resonses to three current issues

1. Archbishop of Canterbury warns MPs not to portray migrants as a 'deep menace' after top Tory claims towns are being 'swamped'


The issue isn't immigration AS SUCH, the issue is the manner and scale and pace of such a globalist agenda and market driven strategy.

Many Britons are reserved and leave each other to their own affairs - but the changes that are taking place - including mass migrations - are raising uncertainty, fear and confusion - which is fuelled by the media and the government in diverse ways - perhaps because a frightened and unsettled population is at first easier to manipulate or sell ideas to.

But fear and hate walk together. It is true that we need to be responsible as to how we communicate THAT we have fears or else fear will possess us and speak hate. But fears are not to be pretended away nor demonized. We need to facilitate more communication, not box it in.

Leaders and media COULD HELP to discern and articulate what is in fact going on instead of persisting in the problem. All problems rise from failure to account or communicate - and fear OF communication attempts to make lies true.



2. Archbishop of Canterbury reveals how he broke down in tears after hearing 'horror' of child abuse in Church of England

The more one denies/projects the negative, the more it is given power to operate unconsciously, in the dark left by screaming self righteous hate. Attempt to coerce or terrorize consciousness to conform to what fear and guilt dictates, results in distorted or corrupted impulses that leak out in all sorts of loveless tragic ways.

Our idea of self is so blindly predicated on fear and coercive control, that it is believed heretical to consider that there might be a better way - as if one is therefore one of the terrorists if one doesn't take the side that throws the first drone.

Humanity has a split mind and is in a sense at war with itself, within the level of personal consciousness. A living Church COULD align and extend the teaching of Jesus, but... knows not what it does.

Who knows not what they do, is a mind so divided within itself that it knows not who it or anyone is and becomes helplessly victim to fears upon fears, at cost of innocence lost.. This need not be.


3. Drugs may work better depending on time of day
Scientists believe that drugs which target specific genes work differently depending on which time of day they are taken


Whatever else may be said I feel to say that the natural systems of the body-mind - as well as the planet are vastly more interrelated and complex than the scientific watchmaker first supposes, when taking things apart.

The desire for 'magic' answers feeds the profession of magicians. A true re-alignment with responsibility of thought, word and deed, works wonders. But the wish to escape by redefining our lives in the image of our disconnected thinking, seeks to persist at any cost and by whatever means - as does an addict seek to persist in addiction.

Learning that it (healing) is highly individualized can bring back a truly individual approach to healing - but there are basic conditions that support the self-healing which Life naturally operates until it is so blocked from function that manual interventions become the new normal.

Fear in hiding

I came across a generic image in an article on a recent horror film and a title about 'facing one's own darkness'. I felt to comment on the genre - which extends beyond moviemaking to the media's focussing of attention and also our own mental proclivity to 'know not what we do'.

- - -

Fascination with guilt, fear and a sense of malevolent will or evil, is looking with it -or letting IT dictate where one looks.
The splitting off of mind from itself in conflicted confusion of identity is becoming VICTIM to one's own thought and the 'mind' that such focus then generates.

To simply look at, own or face the darkness in our mind is to see from a perspective that is NOT subject to or within the drama - indeed which chooses NOT to feed the mind-story and which then frees itself to choose to focus in what serves and expresses a true or whole sense of appreciation.

Hiding from fear is the same as hiding IN fear. Humanity is very tricksy in the way it sets up the device to separate itself from the knowledge of its true being in order to persist in what might be seen as a perpetually reinforcing negative loop that plays out in endless remakes of the same old archetypes.

There are WAYS of telling a story that reflect back to the core qualities of being - and the gargoyles play a role in having to be passed by or faced through as part of the reintegration of consciousness and its reflected world.

But to use symbols out of context and indulge gratifications or coercive distortion is in a sense the 'playing out of an evil or oppositional will'.

Fear operates as a device to keep consciousness 'shut down' within narrowly defined dictates... a tyrannous will.

One can watch the mind watching its world and thinking its thoughts and having its reactions. Such a one is not a slave to fear - nor its secret wish to wield power over Life, oneself, the world or others.

Love is what is truly feared - for its presence automatically dispels fear and restores a clear perspective of true relation. Therefore use fear to keep the mind perpetually and busily distracted in compulsive and necessary thought and reaction in case the light should dawn on its lack of foundation as a power in its own right - period.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. What you give out IS what you get back. Making parts of the mind unconscious makes us suffer our own choices without recognizing we choose. This can be very exciting, but the glamour wears off and the dream turns to nightmare in which we are attacked by our own hidden thoughts.

Jesus offers a clear path to recognize for those who thirst for truth rather than power for their attempt to persist as the 'self' of a separated mind.

Shooting down reality

MH17 alt news

(This comment is addressed to the compulsive alt-news junkie amidst a world in which governments and media and purveyed and presumed realities are increasing disintegrating from any semblance of integrity).

Seeking answers 'in the world' seeks where fear persists in protecting itself from exposure, where confusion persists in propagating endless 'new' problems from the 'world's answers'.

Disarming propaganda is not using one's insight as a weapon. The weaponisation of communication is a false mask pretending to communicate. One cannot have a relationship or communication with the persona of a merely coercive intent, and to attempt to do so not only casts your treasure before that which cannot and will not receive, listen or honour it - or you, it degrades, adulterates and corrupts your own knowing of yourself with the baitings and snares of confusion by which you are tempted to abandon discernment for the lure of judgement.

When evil steps out to be undone, do not call on it, employ it, use it or trade in it.
When Jesus said 'resist ye not evil' he meant give your whole attention and desire to that which truly moves you as one with all that lives. This is not passivism, but discernment and active choice COMMUNICATED.

One may use the confusions of evil deceptions to more directly identify what you are NOT - and thus release, repent of, turn from and put behind you.
Only thus will what you ARE replace the mind of judgement and division - and its play of power in the 'world', with a Unified and Unifying Movement of Being.

Look within while apparently looking out and acting in the world and grow the willingness of self-honesty. Guilt and fear and their progeny are in our mind and active in hidden ways until we cease to feed and employ them. Looking directly on what is in our minds NEVER condemns us, but actually frees us to choose instead of being coerced.
The 'world' is many things to many people, but when our own minds are healed of their own mis-beliefs and misperceptions, it can reflect back to you - to us - the glory of the innocence of beholding. Where you choose to look to find yourself (your joy) is up to you. If you entangle yourself in a confusion, rest the mind and do not act out from it until it is reintegrated by Life you do not coerce, manufacture or control. It only takes a moment now - but resistence may manifest any and every kind of distraction so as to prolong a sense of independent power - that you think you need whilst identifying in a disconnected isolated and manually overriding sense of existence.

Guilty until proven innocent - reversed consciousness

There is a way of looking at Everything that presumes it guilty first and then decides whether it can be used to promote one's private agenda or not.

This mentality runs somewhat secretly in most of us - unless so blinded by self-righteous hatred that we openly display it as if fully justified.

From it's perspective, everything that threatens or is not useful to its agenda is an adversary or adversity to be overcome. It uses whatever means are available to achieve its goals by persuasion, stealth and guile, or coercion.

It is incapable of communication - for communication is redefined by such a mentality as a means to get something or get someone to do or not do something and 'listens' only so far as to determine threat levels, and neutralise them - along with turning any form of the communication into ammunition for its own agenda.

I am describing a mentality that we can all recognize in ourselves - but which is in most of us recognised to be deceptive and mean-spirited or fearful. There is a growing embodiment of such mentality in our world - and while we consent to be fear-driven, it seems to shepherd us as if to protect us from our fears.

recognising a fearful and deceptive mentality becomes the basis of choosing NOT to use it - and pausing so as to discern a better way.

There is always a better way that acting out from a negatively defined sense of one's self - and that is from the willingness for a reintegrated sense of self.

That which we hate in others is that which we hate in our self. In the shadow of our own fear we hurt ourselves over, and over, and over again.

Therefore own our fears honestly and be willing to learn from them. This does not mean the lack of a firm and clear capacity to say NO! to unacceptable behaviour.

Are we to become the thing we hate... a terror state…?

Johnson said most Britons wanted “someone to come along with a bunker buster” and kill the man, reported to be British, “as fast as possible”.

But is not THAT precisely the aim and purpose of the video… to provoke such self-righteous hatred along with a blank cheque as to how it is used?

I am not an expert on Psy-ops but until a full investigation reveals the full facts, I see propaganda being propagated regardless of what those facts turn out to be - if they are ever discovered and published.

Those who WANT a war-mind are those who see it as furthering their own private agenda. If a majority of the population WANTS to be cathartically manipulated as if to scapegoat and kill their 'hates and fears', then they will choose to be so deceived to serve their own private agenda of remaining 'unconscious' and not responsible FOR that consciousness.

Wanting someone or something ELSE to make the bad feelings go away is the device by which evil seems to come into our world as a PROTECTION from a deeper fear. This is inherently a mentality of deception… "the lie and the father of the lie". If we personalise evil, we do so in order in order to separate from a mistaken sense of our SELF.

Radicalise is another name for polarise. There is nothing accidental about the concerted drive to bait populations into polarised and conflicted sense of themselves and their world.
Divide and rule has another polarity - and that is unify and communicate.
Denying the humanity in others is very likely to eventually make them cancerous to the whole - that is to seek out their own needs from under a sense of being denied by the whole.

Many 'in power' are seeking to act AS IF they represent and control in the name of the Whole - but they do not - or they would not need to use deception and force to achieve their/our aims. This kind of 'power' is also known as corruption, because a sense of wholeness of self is consumed and replaced by a hollowness of fearful disguise - that may promise all kinds of rewards, yet delivers only evaporations of indebtedness.

#4 - in reply to:

BigFrankSFCan anyone imagine this buffoon running this country? the stuff nightmares are made of.

The US had 'Dubya' for a two terms, (before flipping to a seeming opposite polarity), so in that sense yes I can. An actor merely has to be able to play their part. Do you honestly believe 'leaders' are running their countries?

Nightmares are when what once seemed solid and rational suddenly shifts into a deceptive quagmire from which one cannot escape - not least because a dream never was what it seemed, and the persona that operates within it never was the one that makes the script.

Nightmares are (made of) unfaced fear. The personae often represent those aspects of ourself we have not yet recognised and reintegrated and focusing on personae operates as a way of protecting the fear from exposure.

Fear operates a hidden agenda

The following article prompted a deeper response than that framed by its premises.

The context I write to is one where fear, confusion, distrust, and conflict generate a fear of 'evil' and unconsciously becoming defined and used by the very thing we hate and fear.

- - -

The hidden agendas running through so much that once was accepted currency of meaning, communication and exchange are as complex as the 'financial instruments' that attempt to coerce outcomes supposedly to 'maintain the economy' yet actually corrupt and work against true health, wealth and happiness.

One always uses 100% faith… it is just a matter of what it is invested in. The corruptions of our own thinking run deep, and no matter how much we may like to apportion blame and cry foul, we are collectively and individually in a net of our own deceits. This is not really news, human uses of consciousness have ever tended to ignorance and arrogance.

There are many facets to waking up. One is of the challenging and breaking of ideas and world-views that were presumed Reality, nut to serve Awakening in a true sense this is occurring within a willingness for integration instead of the wilfulness of a segregative, 'disconnecting' sense of self.

The story teaching and way showing symbol of Jesus operates as a reconnecting with the Reintegrating wholeness of being but its message is adulterated, diluted and effectively covered over by fear-based (segregative) interpretation. It does not matter what serves as the bridge or portal to such Awakened perspective and practice so much as that the communication of one's true presence underlines one's word and deed.

It takes one to know one. True presence is not coercive, therefore to regain a full awareness of own native or original nature and perspective, one will find oneself stepping outside the coercive mentality of justifying hate and pretending it to be power, appealing to fear as protector and guide as if it were a saviour, or employing guilt as a means to control and coerce our own mind or the minds of others.

Freedom cannot be thrust onto one long-chained in darkness, but it can be uncovered in true willingness, step by step by step.

Fear of death, disease, disaster, disgrace or pain and humiliation will have highly imaginative and active components.

I am talking about a self-honesty here at a level that goes far beyond ones presentations to the world or one's own self justifying mentality.

Fear of any kind distorts perception and thus sets up apparent oppositional wills and powers to Life - while it is being used to hide in, and being hidden from.

Moving through fear as it rises up and dissolves is a purificatory transformation.

Identifying with a fearfully defined segregated and separated self-sense does not recognise this Movement of Healing - but interprets it fearfully as loss and death and so defines itself against Life and becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The blind will lead the blind always to maintain darkness. If you unsubscribe from such a 'guide to nowhere' you allow and invite the Guide for Life and Light to illuminate and prompt your noticing and choices in all things - including the good housekeeping and appropriate corrective actions in the case of healthy running and undoing or releasing negative choices and their effects.

In simple terms to pause amidst the baiting of reaction and check in at the heart will serve you and others well. The depth of this willingness and honesty will grow as it is lived. Living with a false integrity is living a lie; no matter how forcefully lies are asserted they cannot express and extend the truth of you - and nor will their reflections witness unto the truth of you.

Love is not what you do - it is what you are. But unless you live out what is revealed to you THROUGH you. YOU deny your life. Not 'them'. Not germs and toxins - excepting as we have all conspired to project our fear of evil OUT THERE.

The power that we 'give away' abides yet where it never left. We always operate 100% faith but where it is given can be cunningly hidden so as to hold onto a sense of specialness and self-power while playing the weak victim.

Learn to discern willingly ...if you will.

Fear contracts upon itself and rejects wholeness.
Compassion Embraces. The true recognises Itself. The false falls away of itself.

On the thinking that sees no Soul...

“As I turned, I was this close to him,” as Biden held his hand inches from his nose. “I said, ‘Mr. Prime Minister, I’m looking into your eyes, and I don’t think you have a soul.’” 

"It takes one to know one". If you want to see the evidence of the Soul of another, you must yield your ego-centric persona and let your Soul's knowing extend from the perception of the Soul-choices being made, in a willingness to communicate at Soul level.

The world has long been associated with disconnection from Soul Awareness. "What does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his Soul?". In such a disconnection from true presence extending, all kinds of masked substitutes are asserted or propagandized. These have the common inversion of presuming a man HAS a Soul - in the possessive sense, where in fact the Soul HAS you - whether you are aware of being in alignment or not. Truly you ARE Soul - but distracted with a fragmented identity operating within the focus of the human physical experience.

Power addiction is the appeal of a strongly denied fear of powerlessness. Those who are most disciplined and devoted to their power-trip goal and experience understand that it demands the sacrifice of all that one's heart holds dear in order to be free of 'emotional or moral' constraint'. This can be true when one is freely willing to lay down one's life for the sake of others - extending the gift of Life. But it is usurped when the disconnected and disconnecting negatively defined self, seeks to replicate selflessness in 'worship' or alignment with deep fear or terror, as the determining and therefore 'creative' force of dominion over others. They will thus use whatever guilt and shame cause fear of and seek to manipulate via assertions of masked deceit - as if they themselves were free to see truly and others the weak victims to their own conceits, easily herded or goaded to react in predictable and thus manipulatable ways.

Though the leaders on the world stage will sometimes embody such mentality writ large - many are puppets of hidden power that actually determines their range of action.

One is to note that at the time, each and all of us in some sense justify ourselves and our acts as either necessary, called for or the less evil - but this is always within the terms of self-definition relative to the situation as we perceive it at that instant. The urge to dis-own or cover-up our own fear by 'seeing' it outside in the other, can put immense negative energy into what then seem positive goals.

When Jesus said "Forgive them for they know not what they do", there may well have been an outer 'social' effect of his choice, but the nature of our consciousness when split is of self rejection and Soul forgetting. The capacity to truly FEEL, KNOW and RECOGNIZE LIFE is covered over by the identification with the mortal sense. True compassion is a capacity to embrace ALL the personae or roles within ones experience and release investment in a coercive outcome. What then arises naturally is the movement of Wholeness of being - which extends the true qualities of our unique Life Expression as an integral relationship.

One therefore can engage in business or political negotiation from a perspective that neither seeks to exalt or deny power, for it is obviously already creating every aspect of everyone's reality and communication of such reality as an unbroken or unified whole. The mind that thinks it would or could usurp Power is a toy. When a plaything has lost its relevance to joy and expansion, it becomes an outmoded habit to persist in.

"Put away childish things" and embrace the wholeness of being - so as to Remember and be re-membered in Love's embrace of all that you are - as both part of and one with All That Is.

Once one knows drama and conflict are part of an i-magician's trick, does one need to automatically give it all a serious attention and identification? Once distracted from your Source Consciousness or Soul Awareness - you effectively choose against reintegration AS IF IT WERE LOSS OF SELF.

Un-owned choices are generally unconscious… until they are noticed. Every interruption to our peace is an opportunity to notice the beliefs and definitions we carry and operate that DO NOT BELONG in our heart.

There are times to hold a firm resolution amidst the intense temptation of a false thinking and emotional confusion. True power is not coercive, but those who seek to coerce your allegiance to their own patterns of self-denial will perceive you as 'lacking validity, heretical, deluded or even evil. But one does not have to react in like kind and become the same as that which you judge.

Free Willingness might be a better term than free will (fulness).

Google Frustrate

I read this today:

I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with Google, constantly moving the goalposts simply to wheedle more data from us which they can then sell on …..

Comment:

It's a variation on an old paradigm. Instead of being predated upon by a
cartel-monopoly stranglehold, one is groomed and collected for others who
then feed on you or gain power over you. (And instead of doing evil, they
can adopt a philosophy of pseudo neutrality such that they don't hesitate to
provide easy access to the 'evils' that gather ad revenues and information
of users and usage patterns.

And of course predation being sanctified as the reality beneath any illusion
of civilisation in the 'modern' thinking.

While the markets are distorted, one may have to use services from purveyors
whose methods and motives may be alloyed at best and completely without
principle at worst. But one doesn't have to put all eggs in one basket and
can 'spread one's risk' and remain attentive and flexible.

The breakdown of civilisation (which of course has never been without
faults) is via the implanting and granting of freedoms, powers and a sense
of self-specialness. In the old days it was called the deceiver.
When we want to believe lies about ourselves we easily don't see what is
actually going on. And the ingenuity that comes from supporting an
investment in untruth is by nature unfathomably complex and opaque - such as
our current world in economic, social and political expression.

"At least do no evil" is a good reminder. But the most likely agency of evil
being done  on each other, the world and our self, is the blind presumption
of being right in who we think we are instead of actually in connection with
a willingness to work (or play) with what is right, in others, the world and
ourself. These three go together. Those two commandments J recommended point
to a prior unity that we have prodigally forgotten.
Noses in the trough was a phrase used to account for why (virtually) no one
blew a whistle on the insane behaviour leading to the Big Crash (which is
still running in managed slow motion).
But it is simply perceived self-interest. Greed is only fear unrecognized.
Perception may be used to hide and deny as much as to behold or receive.
What to do if the mind has been hacked and compromised?
Don't use it until a genuine movement of communication is felt. What one
resists, persists. And what one does not use atrophies by neglect.
When J said 'Resist ye not evil' he was pointing the snare by which we
forget and neglect to extend a true presence, in exchange for the
manufacture of a presentation that depends on opposition to seem to exist.

There must be emerging opportunity for businesses to identify themselves
responsible as part of a whole, rather than a part that feeds off the whole,
but it is hard to share and keep a light in a world that chooses to remain
in darkness. Tokenism soon muddies the water. Anything that can take form
can be mimicked to sell false associations that then corrupt the original
movement. Discernment is a deeper quality of our consciousness. I always say
'it takes one to know one' - so being less able to trust our surface
mentality obliges us to listen and discern more deeply that just running on
a default sense of false security.

Icons are like idols - images with which we invest personal meanings and
which if shared in the same way - work as a shorthand for real connection.
I feel the mind - in its surface sense as is most used as a shorthand
meaning - is already a virtual reality layer, and the fact that we are
currently building yet another level of 'exploration' (defence?) over our
current relational actuality.

With any new 'territory' there is the re-enactment of a pattern of
breakthrough or escape into an innocence that soon becomes a sort of wild
west where fear grows unabated, and the ways that then work to tame and
bring order soon become owned and corrupted by the powers that preside over
their territory or gateway service. Technology can serve, but it can also be
used as a means of control, including to restructure society (consciousness)
so as to be ever more 'free' of checks and balances to its 'freedom' to
assert itself coercively upon its slavs.

We live in interesting times

all the best

The explosion of terror in our midst

Do not let the masks or labels deceive. Religious teachings, like anything else, may also be used by the mind of deception.
Hiding behind ANY presumed or accepted 'Authority' is not a real presence communicating truth. Do not be fooled. Do not take the bait. Listen more deeply. Your brother needs you as you need him.

So may the bomb of terror offer an unmasking of the mind of deception to our awareness? As we do NOT USE IT to justify our private judgements to ourselves.
It is so that we do not all seek to impose our will on Life and others by force of violence so as to self righteously judge and deny that which we falsely determine to be evil or wrong.
But the seed of this mentality is pervasive in human relationships even if it is not usually acted out in such raw acts of misplaced hatred. And the only way that heals our relationships of the deceptive basis which terrorises the heart is to cease to be a host for the mind of deception.
I am not addressing working mind - which attends to practical needs as it is called upon - but to the Heart's knowing that the thinking mind obscures. Because the basis from which we live out from is always the most important determiner of all that comes therefrom.
Deception seeds and breeds deception. True religion serves the undoing of the mask of deception and the awakening of the heart to its true nature. The wish to be a 'someone' in our own right is not of God or innate to our being. But while we choose to play out wishful imagination with forceful determination, we will participate in the murder or denial of the true innocence and sanctity that Life Is - (and yet which remains the uncoverable truth of you to accept as you are willing to see and share it).

The belief in evil as an actual power located outside our own mind is the excommunication of our true power to love; to see the presence of love and to be the presence of love. Terror is the crudest tool in the mind of deception, and is usually veiled in threat. See that it can have no authority in your heart and ask and listen for the way of peace - without prejudging what form that will take for you. Are you so willing?

Thankyou for your attention.

Speaking out in Courage

The shining of spirit through those who do not succumb to fear is inspirational if we recognize the same discernment and willingness in our selves.
But if we make others too 'special' then 'we are not like them' and are relieved of responsibility.

Fear and guilt are deeply embedded at a fundamental level of human consciousness, and manifest as conflicted identity. In civilised society, behaviors are managed or regulated to inhibit the acting out of the fear, anger and hatred that is the expression of guilt - (used to refer to a self-justified sense of unworthiness for love. But it does break out in actions in seemingly small ways - and in ways and places that become self-fuelling conflicts.
For hate breeds hate - unless something other than reacting from judgement awakens and acts.
Heartlessness is not always visibly barbaric but expresses a mentality that is quite disconnected from reality. A mentality all too normal in our world and which we tend to use as our guide and protector amidst the very conflicts that it itself creates. As long as we put our own hate on others - by whatever form of spin - then we give power to a disconnected 'reality' - and true value is masked and forgot.
