Banking, Liberty and true worth

 The Daily Bell

We're a libertarian publication and we believe the market itself is capable of creating fairness and competitive justice. If monopoly central banks were removed from the system, people would gradually revert to local currencies as well as silver and gold. Absent further force, the larger commercial banks would fall apart. No one would want to do business with them.

My commentary:

If I write overlong for a 'fleeting moment' - just feel for a paragraph or sentence that holds some interest and just use it for a reflection of your own self-honesty. Which can be deeply covered over but never completely eradicated.

Hmmm... you believe in the market for fairness and justice!

I believe human beings are capable of recognizing or owning their errors and repenting of them - but I am not waiting for anyone ELSE to recognize and release anything I uncover in myself as working against my own joy in life. Is liberty waiting for the removal of banking deceits to regain its nature? Or is some consensual or coercively set idea of liberty at war with other such ideas? Is liberty something to 'sell' to people or induce compliance with after inducing scarcity or pain? For such fears can obscure a true foundation and operate to keep it hidden.

Is the 'market' a person, or a creative agent, or is it a short-cut generalisation for the flow and exchange of goods and services - including information - in which persons and personal investments are operating a set of definitions over the creative agency that is  responsible for That we have consciousness in which to make choices and the ability to frame them in ways that validate some and obscure or invalidate others?

The golden rule exhorts treating others as you would yourself like to be treated - and works well when a true sense of worth is accepted and extended. But in the adulteration or corruption of worth, the grounding standard of gold is exchanged for shifting and arbitrary values of socially defined agreement that operate do unto others what you wish to escape or deny in yourself. In other words there is no longer a basis for recognition and trust in oneself or from oneself in relation with others - and the 'market' that operates in a false or negatively defined sense of self interest (ie - as the fearful avoidance of negative outcome by outsourcing it away from one's sense of self), is never going to balance in a positive or integrative accord.

I do feel for the undoing and replacement of coercive rules with a more aligned capacity to focus in what is wholly valuable - rather than in complex instruments of concealment and deceit that hide toxicity behind some sort of trojan front. But without addressing a deeper aspect of our personal and collective conditioning - we merely rest our case of foundations of theoretical concept that may be 'partially' true or point to some truths - such as the synergy and synchronicity of true self interest in patterns of spontaneous harmony of shared benefit.

The relinquishment of coercive 'externally applied' force is an individual freedom by which true freedom is restored awareness. Just as the trading of such freedom for a promise of personal power or protection operates the denial of free willingness in preference for a tyrannous 'will' or dictate of conforming force - (and its resultant reactive counter force & etc).

The idea of worth is fundamental to all else - and if something is only 'worth doing' because it generates personal profit or 'salvation' - then creative endeavour is withheld while unworthy but 'profitable' acts multiply to feed an un-worthy sense of self - such as our pharmageddon, the millitary-combustrial complex and its technocratic narrative of economic 'necessity' or Notional Security.

People are capable of fairness and justice that operates as balance points between apparently competing interests. The goldman idea that not only must one win - but the other must know their loss - is a mind of vengeance - hatred.

The state monoplozed power in part to check and limit mafia or robber barons from capturing and controlling 'markets' or indeed a subjective sense of survival identity - as an act of social, economic and political coercion. That the state itself is then captured by such mentality of ruthless or unfair and uncaring hatred for lives of others or our Planet is indicative of the shallowness of conventional consciousness and its susceptibility to mind - or narrative control.

Re-wakening consciousness as a true sense of worth is the undoing of the basis upon which the false or mis-identified sense of self is both fed upon and fed-managed and medicated to remains such a 'food-source'.
Coming off of drugs that alter brain bio-chemistry (as if to manage relational issues in terms of 'organic' disease postulated as such a lack requiring rebalance) - often requires a stepping stone process of supported withdrawal unto the point of awakened responsibility. For the homoeostasis of any system operates to incorporate and cope with stress of deficiency or danger - and identifies in maintaining that 'establishment' as its sense of balance and even survival.

Liberty is as does - and if as I hold, liberty is the realm of choice or free willing acceptance - then we don't work to undermine the capacity to choose - but join in it and strengthen in it against the ideas of a false liberty in which responsibility for consequence is out-sourced onto others - and a narrative justification asserted in place of an open handed presence of discernment.

Idea about liberty is the perfect trojan by which to trap the libertarian into an exclusive identity amidst a competing conflict of identity that effectively diverts and dissociates from true worth - and indeed will maintain there is no such thing - for life is what you make it. But Life is Already - and what we make OF it is not the same as usurping it within a matrix of manually managed and medicated 'mindshare'.

If 'if' shall be replaced by is - rather than be indefinitely un-embodied wishful thinking), then central banking is removed from my system and I redeem all things to true currency - in steps of recognition and action that regenerate culture upon a true grounded tangible - rather than complex convoluted mysteries of a 'higher order'. By living from a true foundation - the capacity to recognize a true account is grown. But clever thinking never actually arrives at a true starting place - being always a way of persisting the establishment of such private agenda over the whole.

Freedom from the ground up

Chilcot Report and the delusions of Western democracy
There are no liberal democracies anywhere in the world except in the imaginative geography that calls itself the West.

I appreciate the above article as inviting a willingness for true foundations from which to live, rather than f reaction in revenge - even when the example being set invites the same principle to be enacted in its face.

There are underlying conditionings and imprinting of terror in our human personality structure that may be more or less denied and covered by self-illusion seeking validation and reinforcement and there is thus a 'power struggle' that then uses awareness of such conditionings arising from the trauma of separation as leverage of manipulation. Those who succumb to the lure of such power cannot see the deceit and coercive manipulation of fear - and indeed rage - that works their 'mind' just as they presume to work others.

If the purpose that is running in the name of our thought, our mind or self, or collective identity - is not open to question, observation and revision then a past imprint has set a lack of true vision in which separation trauma re-enact - and an expanding embracing perspective of  truly living and therefore truly human relationship.

To operate under the name but against the nature of what we on surface present must become an alert to uncovering more of what is in fact believed beneath the presentation of 'acceptability', instead of being legislated against and penalized by blame driven hatred - no matter how self-righteous such hatred seems to be. I am suggesting an inner honesty and congruency of being as the founding point of any idea of self, of freedom lost  or threatened and therefore to be regained or defended, or freedom uncovered already present but disregarded amidst the call to war.

Ultimately - or truly - it is our self-definitions relative to each or any relational situation that predetermine the range and nature of our experience of freedom within which to interpret and respond or react. But act and consequence must be linked towards the potential of a healing correction in the re-alignment of our self within a recognized sense of worth - that naturally extends to recognize itself in the other - and in our world. Authoritarian regimes attempt to enforce our 'will' to conformity for our own good - but are they the leading of the blind by the blind? Is success of such a model a machine - whether of traditional or hi-tech extensions of enforcement? And the power to wield such machinery corrupting by nature? Liberal regimes attempted tolerance in diversity but without a grounding sense of worth and the underlying deceits that operate against true worth in attempts to cover over a sense of lack of worth - and so have been corruptible by illusions of power and freedom - as if deceit driven evils are banished by a presumption of 'objective' scientific enlightenment such as has divorced from any guiding relational honesty. As if thinking ran itself and answered to none but itself - and regarded this 'freedom' from transparency and accountability as 'self'.

The world is extremely compelling experience and particularly so when triggered into conflict and defence. But it is never without our participation at some level - even if we are at odds with it on another. Blame and hate operate defensively against uncovering such participation when the outcome of exposure is felt as threat to survival of the current or triggered sense of self.

Indeed the last thing we will do is an honest inner accounting - because we cling to our investments while there is any belief left in a meaningful return. We 'lie' to survive and our mind seeks justifications so as to redefine the means in terms of a justifiable end - and if painting an end so terrible that anything and everything must be sacrificed to 'survive or prevail' then the separation trauma is revealed as the mechanism of sacrifice - of denial and rejection of whatever is associated with threat, and in sacifice of inner honesty is a breakdown of communication in which trust can no longer be extended or recognized. Everyone and everything thus becomes viewed in treacherous distrust - because without inner sight - anything can come back in your face in the same measure you sent it forth - but yet must be kept apart from such recognition by any means available.

But as we reap - so shall we sow. I turn this phrase around to indicate that receiving or experiencing is not a passive receipt - but that there is a freedom to release investment in false or corrupted currency in desire to be truly moved. Of course a lack of integrity uses any form as a part of its own defence - but who can hear - let them hear. For being truly moved is always a recognition of worth that extends and embraces that same freedom to others - rather than using the 'evil of other' as a justification to move without an integral sense of relational support and guidance. Indeed to override and deny any sense of such support and guidance - and 'go it alone' or perhaps to subsume such inner receptivity within a collective identity of oppositional protection to  the 'lone wolf' of a corrupted sense of true individuality. Any form can be used to hide a loveless agenda - and thus like a trojan horse - operate to work against us while we believe we are doing the right thing. Of all the things that corrupt us - it is that which we accept without really checking in because it passes off a genuine but then opens to operate 'identity theft.

Our world is full of reflections by which to notice more of the way our mind works - and so align more truly to who we feel, recognize and prefer to be. Amidst the baiting of manipulative or untrustworthy intent - I prefer to pause and to listen and feel for something prior to manufactured thought. This may not be easy - but it establishes a true willingness for Life - through which pre-sense gifts - instead of presenting a presentation seeking validation. Thank you for your attention.

What is Sovereignty?

What is Sovereignty?



(Written into an article on Sott.net)


https://www.sott.net/article/322133-What-is-Sovereignty#comment161045

What is Sovereignty?



The idea of sovereignty or free will, like any other idea, can be corrupted. Something else is being passed off as if it is freedom - and by that is true freedom lost - or rather covered over from a conscious recognition, appreciation and sharing in.

Identity defined 'in a body' or even equating self with body, and mind with brain, is a defined sense of self arising from conditioning - like a mask or spacesuit or interface by which engage in the human experience of the world as we tend to give 'Reality' to - in forgetfulness of the underlying focus in desire, meaning, image and idea, by which we 'make sense' of existence - of Fact of our Existence - AS a world - from which we then make or infer a self.

The freedom to desire and imagine - focusing within and through the ideas that resonate with recognition of the meaning we both have and are - and being moved as that consciousness of appreciation - rises from a depth of which the consciousness is an extension and vehicle of - and yet one with.

Nothing can limit imagination and desire excepting the meanings accepted and invested in as true of You - that are no longer your true desire or held true service for you in the past but are not serving who you feel and know yourself to be - now.

Self-concept - or a the association of concepts that comprise self-image - is a model. An inner creation drawn and woven out from a Whole Cloth through which to uniquely experience facets of a Totality that can only be experienced through some degree of differentiation within it - but never really apart from it.

Confusion of self, identity and expression, with the framework of self image, then operates as if from an exclusive sense of segregated self and experiences the reflected denials inherent in defending and maintaining its 'self' as experience of being denied, threatened and attacked - and ascribes the sense of disconnection and loss that is inherent to an exclusive identification - with this sense of denying, limiting, threatening or opposing 'otherness'.

In place of freedom to accept and live the truly felt movement of being - is now an imperative for survival in set terms that struggle and further reinforce the terms - so as to solidify a rigidity with all the emotional force of survival need believed - and lived out within a local or exclusive assertion of self and reality - as if this is free will - upon a deeper movement of being of which it is not only unaware of - but redefines as threat or asset to exploit.

The idea of sovereignty is rightly belonging not to power that 'lords it over' - but to the power that holds all things aligned in true balance. And as may be implicitly recognized in this reading by now - the sense and fear of losing balance leads to a coercive attempt to impose it - with sets action and reaction upon a false foundation of control against and over perceived threat - fragmenting under the worship of power unto itself as Meaning.

Nothing in this world can convince you, the truth of which you are unwilling to learn, though pain of meaninglessness may call to re-evaluate what is held true. This is your free will - for only from you comes your own acceptance of the true of you. In articulating this I have to acknowledge two parts - because the belief in the split operates the mind that thinks in discrete linear concept. The parental aspect of you needs to listen to and feelingly accept that which has been denied - for only in revisiting the feeling will a fresh take heal a mis-take. And the child fragment needs to embody, or give movement and expression to the denied feeling and thought - within a willingness FOR acceptance and healing - instead of reacting as the trigger finger to the baiting of heartbreak, rage or terror, of an ongoing oppression that disallows or demonizes and fears, the movement of being that is being pushed down or subverted and neutered within conformed dictate.

Because of the nature of pain, fear, hate and reaction, these can and do simply feed the same that operates the role of coercion - unless there is a deeper recognition and acceptance of the call that is within the behaviour and willingness to genuinely respond. Or - the negative or unacceptable expression has found acceptance and transformation in conditions away from triggering harm - so as to grow the capacity to bring communication of the denied self in a form more open to recognition and less liable to trigger being attacked or denied. Of course both these aspects work together - for you are not split by belief apart from believing it so. But the sketch I invite considering here is necessarily a tiny  facet of a much richer communication of being than our physically conformed mind allows - for the nature of Existence may project or embody through the prism of time and space but is not defined or limited thereby - excepting again through the proviso of the freedom to define and accept core ground-rules by which to explore freedom to experience within structures that enable and bring forth.

Just as with natural environments, there are cycles of change within the underlying matrix of meanings - that meanings can no longer 'survive' in without being renewed from Source so as to embody a current expression of being - freely accepted.

While in principle one is free to persist in the meaningless if one gives it the power of acceptance and belief - such freedom operates against the core purpose of extending and sharing meaning, worth or value recognized - as a freedom to refuse the current and use it as a means to support a static and unyielding concept of self.

Perhaps there is a mixed harvest of those who come to freely yield a false sense of control to an inner recognition of true balance within wholeness - and those whose self sense asserts freedom in defiance, opposition and revenge - righteously but blindly asserting as rage and terror both - for attack without a body cannot be but a relational breakdown of communication - translating and embodying into fixity of form. As conditioning generates conditions that then reinforce and complexify and mask 'mapped out denials'.

The forms of denial are so fragmented and multi-layered and imprinted as part of our identity - that there is no way to mind-map it all out and re-find our way - for the urge to map, define and control is already largely operating from and for self-concept  - particularly when invested in as an identity over and against false.

The quantum idea of collapsing the Infinite to a specific comes to mind. Do we feel out the pathways that truly align a truly felt desire - or allow a layer of subconscious and seemingly 'autonomous' thinking to condition and effectively control our unfolding of perspective?

Allow that any form and any thing can be used for self-deceit - or for the honest and open appreciation of who you are - which of course includes an honesty relative to all kinds of psychological defences that were inherited or needed as part of your personality and character development. Only feeling our way - in the currency of the moment and movement of being - will reveal and discern what we need to know or do in its right timing. The idea of manually living is absurd - no matter how complex the robot or system that rises to substitute for communication and relationship. The true nature of feeling, is richer in living and creative information than any conceptual overlay. Nothing within us need be invalidated or demonised when finding its right place. Priority is not coercive upon us - but when what is first is accepted first - all else finds its place relative to true.

Until an acceptance of unconditional love releases us of self-hatred and self-denial - we cannot but go forth and multiply the hate in the name of love - as self-righteous attempt to survive in our own terms - at cost of out-sourcing un-recognized and un-owned pain and hate onto others - and our world.

The idea of self has to become open to a greater communication - and the idea of group or nation or corporation has to embody such alignment. The history of nations and the modern history of corporations is an extension of the structure of coercive power that operates war beneath a masking narrative for unity, diplomacy and representation.

The true nature of globalisation is global awakening - and not a corporately enacted dominion by an elitism that owns and pulls all the strings whereby to control the narrative and enforce or en-trance conformity to its agenda and image.

At least - such is the willingness of acceptance from which I meet the world and through which I am met. But unlike the measure of power in the world - all power is in shared witness to the true - no matter how seemingly insignificant the form it takes. And of course we cant get our heads around that but that is why it is called Under standing.

Post Brexit vote - The Sky is Falling!

Sterling’s down, sales are falling, shoppers anxious: gloom gathers over the UK economy

The scaremongering stick and the fake carrot were not just brought out for Brexit - but they have been significantly disregarded. If you start to see the narrative control that mainstream media operate - you will read them with a different set of eyes if you read them at all.

It remains that very many ARE conditioned to react as triggered and so the hyping of the psychological operation into a actual outcome favoured by this or that corporate cartel interest is almost stage managed theatre. Follow Foxy Loxy if you want - but the real Owlsy Wowsy is not on the other side of the river - but is your inner discernment - and you don't need a phd in mind manipulation techniques to smell a rat and withhold allegiance and support - while remaining open for more clarity.
ANY direction taken is only as positive as our wholly embracing it for its positive opportunities. Fear is a self-fulfilling prophecy - but denied fears no less - so owning the fears is part of finding greater and truer resolve.
Bankers and corporate cartels manipulate us all and have done for a very long time. It is the Law that needs restitution. And I mean restoring to a servant of the Whole and not a technocratic instrument of manipulation and deceit posing as benign collectivism.
And why we are at it lets restore a truly free Press - by our support for true witness wherever we find it.

...the low pound means foreign companies will look more favourably at investing in the UK and if Osborne follows through on his proposed reduction in Corporation Tax, this country will become a very attractive place for foreign companies to set up shop.
The following comment brought another response from me:

But alas whoring ourselves to transnational corporates invites a slave economy where workers pay all the tax burden and companies get special inducements to come and then suck wealth and assets out of the country in the trickle up evaporation of absolutely insane debt - for the richer the company - the more debt they 'manage' as a flow of leverage and influence.
Biodiversity is  a key to health. The microbiome is foundational to our human health. The soil is killed with toxins and starved of nutrients while monocultured crops are artificially fed. Transfer this recognition to society - and reground yourself in a participance of endeavour and relationship rather than a managed and pharmed set of conditioned reactions. One cant think sanely from an insane foundation. So look to free your thinking - or free yourself of conditioned reaction that passes as thinking. What does the drip drip poison media feed us but the undermining of worth - and then sells its narrative as the framework to think in. No thanks.

The Politics of Freedom

15 Common Sense Reasons to Free Yourself from Politics

This article linked above brought a polarised dissension of comment - but I felt to use it to reflect something of the way we get taken in.
 

Is it not revealing how the way something is defined sets off such polarity of dissension?
Don't react to some else's framing as if it is true. Listen in - and if need be listen in some more - until you are in fact reading what is there and responding to what is actually presented rather than being taken in.

Freedom is a basis from which to engage in creative relationship - not a personal accomplishment to get from something or someone else or have as a result of rejecting or withholding relationship.

Fixation in a problem defined sense of self is not engaging in politics - but more of an addiction or fascination with the negative. However - what you meet or become aware of - is part of you to feel and find your relationship with.

Is genuine communication a political act? Or is spin, persuasion, deceit and coercion the only way to get our freedom/justice/better world?

I suggest we need a real life as a basis from which to then communicate to the same in others - even if they don't seem to be having one - especially if they don't seem to be having one!


• Here is an earlier comment I wrote to the  same page but thought to have lost when the browser crashed:


"Everything will have all the meaning for you that you give it".

But I write this in a world where most believe that everything has built in meaning. Yes there are all kinds of mutually agreed definitions but whatever anyone else agrees - you are the one who accepts for you.

The old paradigm as I see it - is of "getting there". (which carries the hidden invalidation of being right here). It can be expresses in many forms but 'getting' is key. The old mind is for getting. (Got it?)

The new paradigm as I feel and live it is "being from here" - where here is a relational honesty and willingness THROUGH which the movement of being restores Presence - and living from Presence is not living from some fatalistic acceptance of conditioned perception - though it does embrace where we are in self-awareness - and transform it.



When the foundation shifts - EVERYTHING shifts with it. Put another way when a foundation is skewed, EVERYTHING is skewed with it. So the paradigm shift offers an unskewing of Everything. But this means bringing everything into alignment with who you now recognize yourself to be, as a relational honesty in genuine willingness for the embrace of Life - and guess what! - we uncover investments in a sense of power and protection in the old habit - that run counter to what we truly want - and they cant just be denied or pretended away - these are some serious fears and denials that call for a deeper quality of compassion and acceptance that 'getting there' allows - in fact 'getting the hell outta here!' is one of the getting-mind variations.



Escaping a sense of self conflict for peace - sounds good? lets go! But whatever we do we eventually find we brought it with us and the more we deny it acceptance the more it comes up through the cellar or breaking through the TV and breaking out all over the world. It goes deeper than we like or feel able to go - there is hurt, hate, rage, terror and powerlessness.

Each of us have a part in separation trauma - and our person and our society is predicated upon its denial to a very large degree.

We're all living a lie - or if you like we're all living in a matrix illusion controlled by THEM.

But the freedom is owning what is your own instead of running from it or putting it onto others and being self-righteously NOT them.

Politics like everything has corrupted definitions - don't accept corrupted currency and trade as if its real.

Where do we go to check our ideas, beliefs and definitions? In the heart- in the willingness to let them go and be in the willingness to feel and know truly. The result is that what is true of you floats and what is not falls away. That is - your definitions are more in line with who you truly are - and so this effects everything you do and the way you do it - regardless of the conditions.

So don't take anyone else's word unless it chimes with what's in your heart - but know the authority is the heart - not the one who served your recognition.

Language has been corrupted - to communicate from presence will find habits of framing and phrasing that are out of whack and yet these include all the dark arts of deceit and manipulation that politics has degraded itself to embody.

Grow the new anyway - any way that embodies life. The thing is if it extends your true willingness, it meets and sows and grows willingness in ways you don't know about or consciously intend. But if you are looking to change everyone so as to catch up or catch on - you cant do that and be your freedom. That's coercion it comes back at you and then you are entangled in polarised nowhere as if it could ever win.

But if politics is about how we organise our society and solve our issues we have to remember that we don't live to fit the system or the corporate or the collective - these systems are to fit to and serve Life - for if they don't - they work against the living - and call for correction. But one cant heal hate with hate - even if it feels self righteously justified it poisons the well before we've even dug it.

Any act will carry the consciousness you embody through it - regardless of statistics and trends, and yes gardening can extend and grow a sense of worth - in fact we are all gardeners of one kind or another - for what we give attention to we water and feed. The fixation and fascination in the negative is not serving a better and truer experience of Life - but nor is fixating in denial. We each feel our own way - and yet find positive synchronicity as a sign of alignment. We don't often recognize negative synchronicities because we are not aware enough to see the connections between what we put out and what we get back. There's a lot going on they don't tell you. There's a lot going on you don't let yourself know you know.

Freedom of the road?

Eric Peters: How Government Ruined Cars


I wrote into this theme thus:

Whenever a sense of abundance can be opened up as a sense of extended power or freedom - there then is the opportunism cultivating a market and power cartel that derived power of tax or dependency from those who expand into the 'new idea'.
It isn't that a sense of freedom is wrong to associate with a car or with movement - but that there is always a correspondence of responsibility that accompanies liberty - or else it is simply a freedom to drive roughshod over Life - over others and one's own true interests. IE: Destructive to Life.
Is the 'absolute right to be left in peace' meaningful?
Since when will Life leave you in 'peace'?
These phrases come out of mutually agreed associative definitions that seemed self-evident - as all such currency of thought does - in its day.
But we are relational being - that is we experience in relation to others - to events and situations and the balancing of such experience is again a matter of inner freedom and responsibility OR ELSE a coercive intent to force an imbalance operates from an imbalanced and un-free sense - and this consolidates and operates through the idea of government as a legally defined justification and agreement to check and qualify the use of such force.
When the coercive intent becomes the mistaken idea of freedom to assert and impose power - then such 'freedom' asserts that no one else will be accorded the right to disturb the peace of my rule. But the coercive intent is always the result of the loss of relational communication to a fear of - or assertion of - power.
The THINKING that derives from either a 'separated off' sense of power or the separate sense of being denied by power - has given rise to a cultural disposition that is so corrupted by power as to have only a trickle of residual Consciousness in Relational being. Indeed what I am writing here (insofar as it is read at all) will be largely referred to 'thinking' without being received as a felt communication.
It is the impoverishment of the currency of thought that reflects the bankruptcy of our outer reflected experience.
The auto-mobile is not strictly autonomous just because you don't use a horse. Indeed the Oil Cartel has used it to expand as Pharma of initially oil derived by-products- as well as the energy-cartels. And Oil/Gas continues to drive geopolitical misery that the highway star is oblivious of association with  as in global 'solutions' the costs are outsourced while the profits are sucked up and evaporated.
There is much more on the symbology of the car that is interesting. On some levels it is clear that personal mobility was designed and promoted as public utility was undermined. Is it all power and greed driven - with the spin of cultural improvement as part of selling it?
Well that is part of what humanity aspires to; the 'hit' or rush of a high - along with seeking to maximise a personal high by 'outsourcing' or denying/invalidating the low.
I feel that the freedom to indulge the wish of power has painted itself into corner, or a traffic jam - or even a self-driving googlebot! And of course the sheer hatred that rises in such frustration of WANTING and not getting and blaming rather than communicating - not having the resource of communication open or available within the impulse of 'getting'.

I may add that in UK - since the first 'green' thinking was subverted to mainstream leverage - so as not being allowed to open a real communication that includes the living context of our otherwise dead thinking - the motorist has been taxed more, and emasculated, and infantilised - such that as with other arenas of life, the taking over by actual robots will be seamless because we have already 'evolved' (sic) to such lack of consciousness as to be replaced by external control mechanism - operated and run by a power elitism. Whose image are we being remade in but the anti-life that seeks to regain its right to luxuriate in its own private vision without Life interfering with its freedom from such disturbance. I have every reason to believe that death is not in fact such a victory - and that regression to a presumed perfect state is a trick of hindsight. But then I embrace Life on Earth despite having to embrace all kinds of frustration and emotional pain - so I'm on board for a journey that is inherently transformational and not just 'me' getting high.

I recall some describing the 60's as the idea of being high all the time opening to the spiritual realisation that that was not freedom - and that uncovering a true freedom was a more meaningful life. The fact that such impulses get caught up and subverted does not in any way invalidate the impulse. It reflects an invalidating thinking being interjected and imposed upon it.

Seek you first?

The Daily Bell is a 'libertarian' investment news commentary site that attracts thoughtful or considered commentators - albeit with a tendency to blame the state for everything and identify in ideas about an ideal of freedom. This article questioned whether Trump is in fact a 'controlled opposition'. I may have written other comments in about Trump and power games - but in this I picked up on the last concluding summary of their 'advice' relative to such times as are painted so dramatically:

Quote:// Conclusion: Conserve your energy and husband your resources. Advance your personal goals and improve your professional
circumstances. Look to yourself first and the larger system second, if
at all.//

This at first seemed reasonable - even wise and kindly - but is it not the very predicate of the problem; the philosophy of elitism?

It can be read as "hold back on moving with or deny what moves you, and hold onto your private stash to use what profits you and gains power and privilege without regard for context or relationships - excepting they impinge on or support your private arena of power".

You may not intend such a meaning. I will now look at what I first took from it because of how and who I identify 'self'.

I know a lot of Americans (and others) use religious insight as weapon - but I invite looking at this phrase as a pointer that can be re-found in whatever terminology suits you.

"Seek you first the Kingdom of Heaven, and all things shall be added you".

This can be reduced to 'put first things first and all the rest follows'. Or simply 'get your priorities right'.

Obviously this phrase has not been used or appreciated in the meaning I accept or the world would be different than it is. The idea of a private authoritative and elitist self 'getting to heaven' or achieving enlightenment or Validation is deeply imprinted in human conditioning - regardless the symbols for fulfilment. It always ends in tears.

The idea of balance and alignment in Life is also one of healed communication and indeed communion; a FELT QUALITY of Being as the expanded CONTEXT of living a truly human existence. Without which is a flat or dimensionless struggle of obfuscation in which a sense of disconnect operates within a mind of judgement and control within its own narrative framing. A negative loop.

Because 'seeking' can be interpreted as if to find in some OTHER moment it may be worth using 'a willing desire to be found in' balance and alignment with what and who your truly are - rather than running as a 'self' presumption set by conditioning to think without feeling - in other words - to look only to its private thoughts and defend against or ignore anything that does not conform or fit.

I do believe we have to look to ourself first and release investment in 'systems' of thought that are not truly relational communication - though they may affect such a presentation. The capacity to Feel is the capacity to truly be with what is real- moment by moment - and we do not have such capacity within our own investments and identities as to what we define and determine real. And so we withhold or run from communication that threatens our sense of personal abiiity to control the narrative. AND the mind does this in ways it does not even notice.

It is telling to notice that your own definition of what is 'outside' or beyond self is called 'system'. For this is your world-reflecting as system of control rather than as relational communication. Yes there are systems of thought and behaviour that are part of our world experience - but beneath these are relationships. Perhaps messy, chaotic and out-of-control relationships! And is that not a large part of what power is sought to protect against? (within as without).

If we are out-of-true in ourself we meet that reflection everywhere - but having (all) learned to see what is wrong with everyone else - does such a world profit or indeed fulfil us? But if we first honour and align with what is true of us - we are then in a connected relational capacity to relate from strength and wholeness rather than distrust of mutually coded contract.
The fear of love - of real relationship - is the fear of sacrifice. Any love coming into this world meets the experience and demand for sacrifice - and forgets who it is for an adaptive mask.

The word "I" can be assigned anything within a range from a reactive subconscious reflex to the "I Am That I Am" of G-d. (If you regard the G-d term too degraded from misuse to use, just Feel the part within the double quotes).

Verbal mental concept and language itself is a set of derivative short-cuts that originally connected with direct experience that was substituted for by symbol, and basing our currency of thought on symbols of Life, is Life Itself made invisible - except to be enslaved and exploited by a worship of false thinking.

An Individual is integral to the Whole as an expression and extension OF Individuality and Indivisibility. Taking out of context is only possible in Concept - because you are as you are created to be and not as your thinking asserts you to be. However, you are free to prioritize your thinking over your relational communication - but you will then need to sell yourself for a power to deny Life and set you in in a narrative of justification - such that Life is seen as worthy of denial and denial as power to survive and prevail.

I'm not having a go at you Daily Bell. I am inviting a look at fundamental issues that can be seen to imprint themselves in every aspect of our lives. They are as hidden from our sight as any hidden power agenda - but in this arena we are free - are we not? - to open to communication.



footnote: The DB did not read this except to bracket it as 'pursuing 'spiritual' goals and fit it into their schemata of a private sense of personal determination. 'Freedom' can be defined to apply to its opposite - but that does not mean it has become what it is asserted to be.

Death Cult, Cancer and Freedom

In conversation at The Daily Bell - where libertarian thinking opens more perspective than mainstream narratives I found myself writing: (for full conversational context take the link)


Indeed there is no need to be the same form of expression to share in purpose and love of freedom must be love of truth. "Wherever you go - there you are" is a saying that works for both directions; for if we seek to assert, maintain and protect a refusal to embrace and reintegrate self-denials, they will re-manifest in whatever new place or relationship. Serial plunder may be presented as progress in persona - but such reflected denials grow ever more impinging, oppressive and limiting to any remaining capacity to feel life. It is simply a kind of suicide.
However, in the willingness and freedom to feel, accept and integrate one's current experience of existence, all of what is present grows recognizable as part of you - including those parts that you no longer care to energize, animate or be 'baited by'.

I've opened to a lot of information about cancer recently - (and the cancer racket) - across a range of functional and advanced or native perspectives and see that beneath the allopathic model of rogue cells (seen as violators, or attackers), a simpler pattern of opening exposure to toxins or stress, blocking or depriving of nutrients, undermining and subversion of immune response, usurping energy supply, manifesting tumour or symptoms of dis-ease, meeting
misunderstanding of its containment within tumour, spreading through the bloodstream as a result of breaking in or attacking the tumour, injecting broad spectrum highly toxic carcinogens to kill it - along with living cells throughout the body and brain; radiation exposures that are carcinogenic, dead tumour cells that are also toxic, diet that is often cancer feeding, and a contextual framework of managing sickness so as to extend survival by a bit more - within pronouncement of death by voodoo, while being sucked into a multi-trillion dollar industry.

Fear - and guilt - of a self-hating or self-rejecting sense of self - is part of the human condition-ing - and it operates like a cancer that sucks out our life to feed a death cult - in which life is replaced by survival-conformity to fear-dictates and guilt undermines any movement of the power of wholeness to know itself truly in act.

I see governance as holding the balance points within a diversity and richness of life-expression and which calls for the lightest touch - because for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction - the chaotic sense of which calls forth the suppression of Life and Consciousness to the imposition of control-mentality. That is not governance, but denial masking as power.

Being open to Feel for the movement that is of the wholeness rather than persisting a war of parts that denies the whole - is within Consciousness rather than within the conditioned perceptions of reaction. Whilst Everyone must be rooted in Consciousness to have any awareness of anything whatsoever, the choice or focus of intention and attention is unconscious while it persists in attempting to 'solve' its inner conflicts 'out there'. So much so that it has no sense of inner conflict whatsoever - being fully invested in attacking the world it feels deprived by as its assertion of freedom. Effectively proving one is free to deny freedom for as long as one can mask the pain of isolating futility in blame of self-righteousness.

The control-mentality is the pervasive 'religion' that seems fully self-evident and justified, but has hidden foundations in hate that turn out to be false - IF one looks on them without judgement. Why so? Because judgement is the 'divide and reject' by which a partiality seeks to rule OVER the rejected. Perhaps judgement is also our 'first born son' because it is associated with an emergent separate sense of consciousness.

The miracle is that a movement of wholeness will spontaneously manifest a perspective that shifts or transforms a hateful, fearful or blamefully perceived grievance or conflict to a practical freedom of being - of felt presence that naturally extends without coercive intent.

Where we choose to give our focus of energy and attention is NOT up to advertisers, elites or our past-conditioning that they target and leverage. We may have to persist in holding self-worth amidst such reaction until enough awareness is Free to wake up as. Responsibility is painted as sacrifice by the death cult - because it defines freedom as opposition to and from the death or denial of, wholeness. But the ability to respond is not a dictate of a coercive 'god' but the freedom to be and know and share the true of you. Anything else is false currency.

Elitism is self-specialness. A false god. We are each already a unique expression of Life and while I try to make anyone else fit my (often unconscious) demands or perceptions, I am denying myself no less.

I also see that everyone plays a role in my 'drama' - yet I am the casting manager and all characters in a dream must ultimately resolve to the dreamer.

"Communication breakdown" - rather than an actual disconnection. Life isn't absent while we suffer our own beliefs.

Checkmate!

I've come back to this thread to say that a strategic response to a situation and indeed a strategic identity is a way to lose freedom for the promise of getting there in some future moment or reclaiming a freedom believed lost as a result of the analysis of the moment at hand.

I'll add that this is the normal ,but is not the original nature of human being. Yet if it is the predominant belief structure it must be worked with to open it up to a more direct and less obstructive communication - or there will be no communication.

Such strategic analysis accepted and reacted from as true operates as a conditioning reflex that becomes in a sense and automatic response that maps out the situation in terms of definitions and meanings made and accepted in the past. Indeed the range of such judgements and strategies constitute one's sense of identity in the world; our conditioned sense of self. The sense of freedom of such an identity is freedom FROM perceived threat and freedom to maintain self-protection and prevail over such threat or at least keep it at bay.

The resort to offensive strategy as effective defence then follows and is justified by the perceived threat, and wounds from the past become valued and restated as value in supporting one's offensive or justified strategies of prevailing or manipulating outcomes and behaviours.

The 'chess game' of reading the strategies of others and developing counter strategies becomes the box within which thinking then has to operate to have any validity. One strand in the overall game of strategies is that of libertarianism. All strands operate and support each other as an identity in struggle or game of power - where power has been redefined in terms of minds that are equated with or limited to bodies, acting upon each other, along a set of meanings arising from the belief and experience one is not free, whole, and worthy.

THAT such conditioning occurs and becomes our personality construct is observable. But the capacity to observe it in act - within our own consciousness is itself an awakening of consciousness at a level that is not enacting the identity of conditioned reaction but free to accept it, or allow and invite a fresh perspective that is a current take on the whole situation - accommodating to one's readiness and willingness to accept and act from a perspective of wholeness. This is a spontaneous event and not the result of machinations of mind - and yet it may be filtered through machinations of mind as part of accepting it is in fact what is desired.

The be free flowing presence may be similar to being 'in the zone' because its spontaneity is in a sense quite thoughtless and selfless - yet not as a result of any denial or coercive intent to suppress or diminish thought or self. there is simple a sense of getting out of one's own way and allowing a unified desire - that is no longer oppositional to but embracing of all that is present in relevance and resonance to the current theme of focus and desire.

Oppositional will is a key idea in the redefinition or the negation of free will - which is prior to any idea or definition about it. Indeed  minds that think they are bodies may define freewill in body terms to act without restraint  - without opposition - and yet also to limit and restrain the acts of others that do not support or ally with their own ideal or idol or model of conditions that must be met for them to feel themselves free.

The shifting balances of meanings, judgements, reactions and perceptions that operate as the 'balance of power' themselves become the object of attention - to come up with strategies of negative cooperation in which self-limitation is imposed and accepted as an attempt to equalize or bring parity wherein specific points of focus are partially addressed at the level of behaviour - if not at cause. Such 'sharing' and 'equality' then becomes a new arean of offensive manipulation through which any minority 'victim' can become a proxy for a third party agenda to use to undermine existing levels of integrity and function - and indeed engage naked enslavement plunder and coercive dominion in the guise of regulatory capture and control through the ideas and identities developed in the attempt to become free. Checkmate!

Freedom and the State; Caesar and God: ends and means

This article on freedom and the state and strategies of libertarianism prompted various responses. Mine is below.
Rothbardian Thoughts on Strategy
By Sheldon Richman

It is easy to react to what one has judged unawares - as if one is relating directly with an external or oppositional reality, when whatever is occurring is one's own definition overlaid upon the arising relational situation. Hence the adjunct to be vigilant against deception.

Mutually agreed definitions and judgements become competing 'realities' or 'truths' or ideologies, within which apparent unities of purpose or endeavour faction and fragment like the tower of Babel, when the context against which seemed a unity, shifts... as it will.

I do not regard myself as Christian - in the traditional sense -  in fact I do not regard myself as anything in terms of a locked in identity - because I find my true identity in the expression of the freedom to relate, to receive and to give and to know that freedom in act as well as recognize the same quality in others - regardless their current choices. But Jesus also addressed the issue of worldy power and obligation - vs inner allegiance and congruity of value in thought, act and deed. And yet an exclusive or militant materialism cannot engage with the Meaning beyond the form - for all forms have locked in meanings and the mind of such assertion is locked in its own thinking by its own choice.

The Meaning beyond the form is that from which all forms derive their meaning. Perhaps I might arrive at a useful exposition of this here.

Any sense of exclusively personal power immediately and inherently opens the possibility of personal powerlessness and inadequacy to meet the situation at hand. This feels dissonant as conflicted feelings and purposes - ie: a chaotic psycho-emotional state that is intolerable.

The desire to persist in the personal sense of power is not associated with the powerlessness which seems to be a result of oppositional wills or forces.

Identity in powerlessness (victimhood) appeals to the personal sense of power to protect and unify it against intolerable chaos. That is , it gives its power away to the idea of coercive control as 'protector'.

The resultant coercion suppresses and limits the range of the expression to a will and projects the conflict outside and way from what the realm of personal control it now identifies as itself.

The denied will is thus rendered 'unconscious' and the projected conflict perceived externally and reacted to as such 'protects' it from its core fears whilst embodying them as unrecognised external relations of separate and disconnected reality.

Perpetual war is the condition of living within such an identity - but it can be expressed and distributed in such a way as to seem to contain arenas of victory or truce, alliances and paths of discovery of freedom and enlightenment. But always the core conflict is propagated through all of its expressions because it is inherent to its predicate and is this its predicament.

There is no freedom within a compulsive identity of reaction but there is always the freedom to choose not to use it and thus release the identification in coercion.

In the fragmenting of the mind was Meaning lost to conflicted meanings that are by definition meaningless, but the desire to protect the meaning of personal power becomes a central focus through which attempt to unify the self operates and ascribes its own meanings to everything that it incorporates into its world. For everything is judged according to its perceived use or threat to the survival or persistence of the personal sense of control.

However meanings are not fixed and investments are released and some of this occurs as part of the normal process of development or adaptation to the 'world'. Some as a result of crisis that forces a transformation of thought and identity or trauma that reopens the core separation experience.

The recognition of the coercive will as unwanted may arise from realising one's self destructive scripts, or the meaninglessness of hollow victory, the pain of a sham , or any number of avenues of arising honesty.

The recognition and release of what does not in fact protect or belong is freewillingly embraced as an acceptance of reintegration through the separation experience to the free flowing restoration of unified purpose - which then expresses itself through the personality construct one had in a sense grown as a segregative attempt to unify or make a self of that which is not true of what in clarity of discernment is now seen to not be who you are.

Purpose is the underlying orientation of desire that focuses and aligns the mind. There is already Purpose inherent in Life but it is not coercive upon its expressions as to how that purpose is expressed or reflected.

The freedom to believe one can abort, defile, destroy, poison or oppose such purpose is inherent in a truly un-coerced and free imagination and the Human exploration of such ideas of limitation, separation, opposition, conflict, war and vengeance are experienced real because we act from the desire and belief that the power to do so is our reality. Freedom is expressed even here - but in ways that do not know themselves free - that do not know who they are because they choose to believe what they are not and blame it on their world and hate it for failing them and meet the hateful and are worn down and entangled in the taxes of their own defences. And so crisis necessitates transformation.

When everything shifts it isn't just that what doesn't work any more doesn't work - it is seen that it never was true but seemed so.

The old currencies of thought are not only unworkable, they cost - or work against the arising of the new. Until the mind of such thinking can be noticed rather than enacted. Then the devices of persecution or suppression work to more clearly illuminate the self-definitions we otherwise unknowingly carry that are the obstruction to our own appreciation of a truly lived existence Now.

Living from the already free is not a matter of effort, but of consistent and persistent willingness as awareness - not thought. One does not become free. One becomes more aware of the freedom one is. False notions of freedom enslave. Discernment is inherent to a true self worth. The wish for magical solutions invites a manipulative magician to synchronize with your current reality - but conflict is not solved by wishing - but resolved in wholly willing. There is no unity in a fearful agenda. But fears that are owned and embraced and lived through become the very means of releasing what does not belong.

What you give out is what you get back. Forgive and be (know yourself) forgiven. The attempt to get rid of hate and fear by projecting is the way to KEEP it fixed in your mind. One does not get rid of anything - one releases what is not belonging and focusses entirely on what does - what one truly resonates with in the knowing of that unique quality of being you know is you. Your world will in its own timing reflect an entirely different perspective as a result of you having changed. You cannot access such perspective from changing the world. That is the persistence of the attempt to solve ones inner conflict in external scenarios.

Anything I write is simply information or idea that can be freely considered or ignored. Authority dwells in the discernment of the receiver, for no matter what the apparent form of the source, it is the quality of recognition of true resonance and relevance that opens the insight or inner knowing that is beyond words - and yet can communicate through them in the qualities of life.

The lie by which we are deceived

The true nature of a coercive and fearful tyranny is revealed by what cannot be talked about.
I have become aware that much of what I had been brought up and conditioned to believe was never true, though it has been and still may be believed true and defended as such by many.
The personality is not only a masking construct - but an experience of a world. The disintegration and transformation of the personality structure is the rising of a greater perspective. Not greater as in competitive value, but of a greater embrace and inclusion of more of what you are, what life is and sharing it.

An exclusive identification within the personality structure inherently defends against integration and intimacy of truly shared purpose - because it is believed and perceived threatening to its sense of identity in control. And it does so by devices of deceit, diversion and dissociation. There are innumerable reflections of this in our world, that are maintained as effective by their keeping attention focussed away from what must remain hidden in order to persist in the identity in control.
This post was written in relation to one such reflection.

I had recently came upon Ursula Haverbeck's video witness twice; on you tube, and then on Paul Eisen: I want to tell the British people
I followed a link in his comments to some news of her and left the following comment:


I recognise and appreciate Ursula Haverbeck for her willingness to bear and share witness free of guile or appeal for a hate agenda.
When the false is brought into truth, it cannot abide or stand - but be seen clearly false.
The manipulation of minds.... of perception, is in some ways more disturbing than the fearful belief in unthinkable evil hiding within our minds, by which to cripple and emasculate our sense of worth and power, whilst being prey to the power of those who use that conditioning as hidden leverage in directing and controlling the narrative and thus the thinking and actions of others.
But it is not 'the Jews' who operate deceit and coercion as such, but a power cartel who operate within a Jewish identity, just as any wolf in sheep's clothing can operate through any identity. The Jews are themselves conditioned to fear being persecuted, attacked and even killed en-masse just for being Jewish - and this fear leverages global funding and support in any number of agendas of an 'intelligentsia' whose identity is indeed in seeking power for its own sake, and who are very focused and disciplined in achieving their goals without scruple because power is also the power to dictate 'truth' - and so it is whatever 'power' asserts Because it asserts it in ways that range from the subtly laid plans laid over time in which to play others through their own vanities and deceits so as to bring them to a compromised or dependent position, as well as the force of direct belligerence and outrage that effectively blitzkiegs opposition. They are a lobby that is far more effective than any other. But they are not 'the Jews'. They are operating the psychology of deceit and coercion - just as most everyone does - but at a level unthinkable to most anyone - because it is not felt by them to BE deceit and coercion to overcome obstacles to their goals, for they are engaging in life as they believe life to be - which is war.

The device within consciousness whereby truth is sacrificed to war is most fundamental to any true awakening of Humanity as a whole. Because we all partake in the lie from which only a conflicted war on life can issue. And we all hide that in our consciousness just as we see this 'horror' has been triggered and incepted within our collective consciousness by design.

Hate and fear and guilt and vengeance are the progeny of the lie. Self-righteous hatred seeds the hatred in our beliefs and identities and puts us in the vibrational range of being manipulated - because we are engaged in manipulating our own mind in the directing of inner conflict ONTO others, investing in offense and using it to 'justify' hate.

So I offer this pause to look more honestly at our own participation in being baited or scammed out of our true appreciation of living, for the device that is revealed as a result, becomes an open door to freedom. The manipulations and coercions of deceit may promise power and freedom, but there is no freedom in the compulsive reaction of the drive to validate a lie upon the truth. But there is the capacity to notice it and not choose to persist in such identity. Hatred and opposition feed this identity, so it sows the conditions hatred as the sane sow the conditions of love. Love of power is meaningless without the sanity of real relationships. Self-specialness may be exemplified in exaggerated examples but is a key lovelessness tacitly hidden in our thinking - and easily hacked.
Who loves to hate, hates to love.
Reverse this reversal, if you will. Who recognizes the self-defeating poison of hate will not attack their self with it by investing and growing such identity.
Al hate comes home to its sender. But what one owns, can be released and a different message given, and received.
If you no longer hate your self, the hate of others will be seen to be their own unhealed issue.
Why would we hate our self? Because we fear we are evil, unworthy of love and unsafe for love to approach. The personality masks what we are afraid to face directly, until in one way or another the construct of lies disintegrates and we look within and know the truth which fear denied our awareness.
To be the true of ourselves is to invite and meet the truth in everyone and everything. Jesus found this even in playing out the release of his personal will to the true Will of our Father, through a most dramatic and extreme event. He saw those who know not what they do, and that these were one with that in himself that he willingly gave up in love of truth.
What is the Will of our Source -Nature? It is what one feels and knows true and whole when pausing the reaction of thinking that seems to reflect and reinforce a sense of separation from and power over Life - for a sense of self arising from the belief and seduction of such power.
What passes as thinking is worth watching and checking, to see if it is in fact truly speaking for You - who are vastly more than you think you are, yet are so conditioned as to not question or challenge that which defines you, your life, your world.

Slave or Rebel? Ten Principles for Escaping the Matrix and Standing Up to Tyranny

By John Whitehead at the Daily Bell

This editorial posits everything in political terms - of a materialistic thinking - not that religious thinking isn't often the same with a different mask - but that there are core beliefs that embody themselves inevitably as the world we 'suffer' because we are unaware of the true import of the choices we make

- - -

The device by which freedom is seemingly lost is deceit believed and employed - as a result of which one suffers a seemingly unjustified loss that is then blamed on the other.
That such devices can in a sense trap attention in false identification is evident. That this is the predicate of what we take to be a unified independent consciousness called 'myself' is less evident.
The attempt to 'solve' what are essentially inner conflictedness masked by asserted self in external terms is the world of conflicting personal wills and agendas - but they ALL share the tacit agreement to keep hidden, and in that sense make unconscious, the true nature of our relation within Consciousness. Otherwise; the game of powers cannot persist or 'survive'. Calling it a game is not to underestimate very serious investment, without which the game would not be experienced real.
Choices are made unconscious or are 'forgot' as part of engaging and unfolding the life-time, so though it is true to say that a personality construct did not choose to be born, it is also true to say that the personality construct is a result of choices that in some sense template the collective and individual themes of any particular relational expression.
The surface or screen 'reality' is overlayered - as a distortion filter - upon an actual movement of being within awareness, whose nature can be accepted and known in embrace and extension - but can never be separated from and objectified - EXCEPT in concept.
The idea of separation is the idea of being other than what you are. Investing in this idea in order to experience it necessarily requires the temporary forgetting of awareness that knows or Self-awareness - the rising of Thought by which Existence knows itself existing. This forgetting operates through an exclusive definition of WHAT we are - as a specific perspective of what we are.
Such a focus of reflection is distorted by the coercive force of an exclusive intent. For there is no limit on communication in what Mind is excepting an idea of limitation is believed in order to then use that as a focus. The tool of a specific focus might be likened to a virtual reality scenario. When one puts on the VR helmet - one is in 'the matrix' of experiencing a differentiation reflected back as an external reality in which to explore - and in a sense to be as gods. Plural because no separate power exists - it is always in relation to other.
But the coercive idea makes of Life, a fragmenting dissociative force that merely goes forth and multiplies itself as a divisive and destructive distortion of Life, and yet which is clearly fascinating and addictive to a trapped identifying investment of attention within it.
So what are the devices by which truth in plain sight is hidden and usurped with illusion but thinking!
The core tyranny under which one believes themself bound is a result of thinking. The power of conscious thought has been deliberately diminished - excepting of course by the awareness of template level consciousness from which all else is in a sense framed and formed. In its place is a sort of thought jamming device by which a kind of thinking pervades and directs the imagination of independent identity according to the template definitions that it accepted or chose as its adaptation to the physical existence.
Yet this device runs within and depends upon the very Life it appears to usurp. Identity in denial must first be the thing it then denies in order to seem independent or a power in its own right. But conceal this by diversion. By the incitement of inflammations and offence that re-enacts the coercive idea as the 'survival' of a seemingly separate self.
If you don't consider it possible that an imagination could usurp your truth just look at how present with what is, you are in any given day or series of minutes. The mind makes all kinds of spin upon and around whatever actually is here to experience. It also seeks and finds reinforcement with others in social transaction both positively and negatively, to validate and maintain the personal capacity to be in control of one's own life.
But the above is a sketch of the segregative movement within a Consciousness that does not stop being Itself, regardless that a spun off focus is operating within it within a belief of exclusion and rejection. Consciousness Itself hasn't 'gone anywhere', it has simply been redefined in terms that seem to be different than it is, and while it did so, it was known and supported in its choices for what is the gift of free will but unconditional love? The true knowing of who you are can not be got rid of, and so is in a sense held in trust for you to come back into as the truth you know and love without any shadow of doubt and which seems lost, forfeit or beyond conception within the evidences of a world of fear and struggle and loss.
The integrative movement is in some sense like a rubber band that automatically comes back to its natural state of rest when the distorting force is no longer maintained. That is to say the willingness and desire to notice and desist from coercive thinking or reaction becomes an opportunity for the restoration of a joyful or truly connected presence - along with all that is called for in the practicality of the situation.
'Creatives' know that this is so - but often abuse it as a more subtle way to feed the ego from what is actually a living relationship - as if the Muse of true inspiration - was there to serve a self specialness. Well up to a point it may - but only to the purpose of reflecting the nature of your choice to you. For there is nothing blameworthy in learning by one's choices to make better choices.

But few know the choices they are making - though they believe the are awake and free to choose as they will - because the framing of such choosing is itself a deeper choice of which we have by design desired to be unaware of. What is the 'mind' that frames our choices in only fear's setting but fear itself?
The nature of un-owned or hidden fear is of a shadow power that sabotages or inhibits and disrupts what would otherwise naturally communicate and manifest and fulfil. What is such 'shadow power' but the beliefs and fearful or shameful definitions that we have accepted, believed true of us, and sought to deny, escape or overcome?
Fear of fear operates a negative loop - an unarticulatable tyranny from whose perspective there is no escape - but there is no truth there to escape from -  if brought out into the open and looked at honestly. This in itself is a simplicity - but arriving at this may involve any kind of process of delay and procrastination as a result of identifying the fearful as protector.
But when anyone finally releases baggage that deprived them of their true lightness of being - they say "why didn't I do this years ago". Or they might attempt to communicate with others who are weighting for something they believe they lack and find they cannot  - without a mutual willingness.

Raising one's level or vibrational quality of consciousness is not in order to change others or the world, but it will reflect as a greater perspective in which to recognise everything with less fear and so uncover and transmute or undo the deeper fears that surface fears operate to conceal.

Its all about love and fear, Its all a matter of perspective within Consciousness of which you are an active and integral expression because you exist and make choices by which to experience your existence as you prefer - which can be guided by your joy or by a fearful sense of self-protective control that unlike joy must convince you to abide in it. It must use a carrot and stick to keep you from joy or you would abandon the idea of coercive control.

But of course Life leaks into even the most tightly controlled system, but is airbrushed, diminished and subverted so as not to break the continuity of the past into the future in which the presence of all that you are is sacrificed to feed and maintain a tightly controlled system.

Flip the switch.

Free to challenge a lack of freedon

A Lack of Freedom Is Destroying the Middle Class, Not Chinese Competition - See more at the Daily Bell


My comment on the use of laws as a weapon against our true nature:


When 'laws' operate against rather than in support of freedom, one must in some sense 'violate' the boundary and limit of the presumed or believed law in the fact of being who one freely and truly is. Or one denies and limits and thus 'violates' the innate law of one's nature in order to fit or join in with an idea that may be collectively reinforced.
'Thinking outside of the box' is now a cliche, having been used as a mask for the same old thinking in a new set of clothes. But a perspective from beyond or outside the definitions by which one identifies and lives by, is only found by those who can connect to their true nature - which IS inspirational imagination of curiosity and discovery.
This capacity or willingness, must yield the personal sense for as Einstein correctly stated; "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." Indeed, one yields into a level in which the problem doesn't exist, or is redefined more clearly, more sanely, thus revealing obvious response thereof.
Love of truth is foundational to such willingness - regardless the alloy of the personality structure. But 'New Wine' can and often is, framed in old Paradigm of a self-seeking agenda rooted in hidden and un-owned fear, and this means that insight is harnessed to the attempt to manipulate and control rather than to the reintegration of a dis-integrity that arises FROM such idea believed and applied.
The personality structure in consciousness and in the patterning of the brain is not inherently fixed. Indeed it changes all the time - even moment by moment. That aspect of our being is fluid, flexible and transformable. However, while we are invested in it as an exclusive sense of self, it is defended against healing change and becomes the attempt to coerce life - as if such power is ours, or is in any way necessary or meaningful.
But the idea of being a separated isolated individual against life and others - who sees others in terms only of what can be GOT from them, is not a law - but passes as such by allegiance and tacit mutual reinforcement. Then one only thinks in terms of the self such idea provides and that can only be healed by bringing the underlying self-defined limitation and division to the light of an honest awareness.

It is possible to immediately accept truths that leave behind all that one had believed to be one's life - but it is rare, and most of us create or demand processes of transition. Indeed one can get lost in transition - that is one can become identified within the idea of process in place of aligning process to a direct objective or desire.

Education or a 'leading out' of a capacity to live and be oneself within relationship, is called for - primarily by example. Regardless that it breaks the unwritten law of truly thinking and knowing for oneself and bringing that to one's relations - rather than seeking and finding the thinking that effectively masks a true presence in allegiance to a god of fear.

Where we are coming from is more important than the form of what we are doing - because the latter without the former is so often a kind of phishing attack by which a stolen identity operates illegitimately.

A Game of Puppets

Article: What game is the House of Saud playing? | OpEdNews

The writing was prompted by a commenter believing the mess is the result of incompetence rather than a manipulated outcome.

When the British Empire was deconstructed the USA was groomed and prepared to host the next cycle was it not? And so it would be foolish to expect the deconstruction of the US(A) is not part of a further shift for those insiders of the insiders that have the motive and capacity to influence global events over generations and across apparently hostile borders.
Are there only the blind leading the blind - or are there wolves leading the sheep? And is there a shepherding protective and guiding element at work that neither blind sheep or blind wolves can see?
Rationalism is a kind of blindness that reflects the 'world of wolves and sheep'. Reason is sanity - which is not established by clever thinking but as expression of a wholeness of being that rationality cannot know - because it was brought forth to justify un-Reason or dis-alignment of heart and mind.

US(A) wars are a means of redistributing wealth and power, bleeding even the host dry as well as the world at large. Power corrupts because all power is of God and the identification with self-image sleeps within its own reflections. So another way of reading all this stuff is to see the lesson within the reflection we have generated.

comment to the above by Paul:

This is dense to the point of ambiguity. You should unpack it.

Apparently power should not corrupt if you know it for what it is.

To Paul:

I don't use the word 'should' except in sentences like this one ;-)

It may be dense but it is definite. If there is something unclear I gladly respond.

The illusion of power corrupts. Power itself is incorruptible.
Attachment to the illusion of power generates an identity of addiction of a self-sense that is falsely identified.
So yes if you know the nature of power, you will not be corrupted because you know its shared nature. It may not seem so in a world so fear defined but the world truly is not as fear defines it - excepting as the experience of anyone who believes the thoughts that fear elicits to keep it hidden.

BTW I agree with your comment on love's potentiality only I would say that we ARE that potentiality and cannot utterly eradicate or cover over our original nature - although clearly the attempt to do so is deeply embedded as a kind of second or learned habit-nature that operates a kind of protection racket.

Perhaps density merely expands here - but I find the burden of security screening and translation is a lot of what impedes the freeflow of Idea - but of course getting used to anyone's way of communicating has a certain syncing dance. If there is a resonance or relevance then there is a motivation to focus in on a communication. If it were batting opinions around then that's ok but doesn't vibrate at a level that communicates more than a willingness to compete. (I don't find that in you btw).

So you could say - would you unpack it? - or perhaps focus the particular part that has more interest as re-writing what is already clear to me will otherwise provide a different slice of the same pie that may be equally indigestible.

28 pages from the 9/11 report released might clear up some questions re manipulations of geopolitics. Joining BRICS might send the world a message that the U.S. is returning to the principles of the Treaty of Westphalia. Otherwise we proceed with WWIII and extinction. But the human addiction to love/agape may be hard wired from birth, at least, that's my viewpoint. The parasitic Wall Street high rollers, Saudi puppets, fraudulent Malthusians are dead walking. Now would be a most satisfying time to occupy the cognitive domain and have fun as a human being. It's your choice.

I haven't read the report but addiction is to eros (not agape) as the Life Energy from which one feels disconnected, disqualified, abandoned or rejected, and is party wired or templated into human birth - and further reinforced in infancy as social adaptation into the inheritance of loveless fears and double binds that induce fear or anger but forbid expression. A 'managed and manipulated' consciousness is hardly going to reflect a free and flowing world.
One can uncover the template of self-definition and cast out the moneylenders - which are an apt metaphor whatever does not belong to you that then operates as a usurping and jamming signal relative to what truly does. For what you love is what you give yourself to - and not what you sell your Soul (feeling-awareness) to get.
Now is the only time in which to invite and extend the knowing of joy in life. The walking 'dead' re-enact a past made in anger that denies Presence, in perpetuity or until perhaps the pain of meaninglessness outweighs any sense of fun in getting a fix for your golem. That's one reason to want conflict - because conflict gives a 'hit' of identity by being against something.
That choice operates is a worthy meeting place. All perspectives arises from accepting definitions that are believed in the moment of acting out as if they are true.
Human beings who believe they know usurp the receptivity in which knowing is freely given. There's another reason to want conflict, for it supports the scare city principal of separateness guarded by 'elite' access to knowledge.

Slavery is freedom; Freedom is slavery?

http://www.thedailybell.com/editorials/35886/Wendy-McElroy-Can-I-Sell-Myself-into-Slavery/

One can be a slave to an idea of self that is not true, but maintained in preference to truth, and as a result defend its assertion against what IS true. This equates the self with a power to 'do' or act upon the Life that is defined outside or other. But first it is coercive unto its Self. That a self contradiction can give rise to an insanity of an attempt to resolve it externally is evident. But the self-image defends itself against exposure by every means available, and so the desire to observe the mind-in-act is usually only as a result of an attempt to gain insight in order to leverage more control, or the true insights arising from yielding the personal investment in coercive thinking.

Free will means freely willing, but a presumption of independent coercive power redefines free will as the capacity to DO what it chooses - being blind to the fact that all action is an automatic result of the mutually agreed definitions, beliefs, feelings, thoughts, perception, that generate the experience which is interpreted in terms of the past and the behaviour simply effects reaction - along with a script or narrative of self-justification.

That 'slave selves' should organize themselves as a result of attempts to dominate, own, coerce and manipulate others is inevitable. Unified or unifying power is meaningless or anathema to such structures of thought EXCEPTING to attempt to unify all powers under one global power.

True relationship is not a contractual attempt to use the relationship only as a means to GET from, but an extension of a connected wholeness brought TO the relationship. The substitution of true presence with artifice is choosing to identify in mask rather than actually meet the other - or one's self. When all agree to turn away, the presence of Life has been disregarded in order to seek and find one 'own' life on one's 'own' terms' - and this seems a freedom while the 'Prodigal's' pockets are full of friends - but the journey is one of depletion and disillusionment into darkness and isolation - and all of it operates a mechanism of diminishing returns that finally require 'selling' or abusing every vestige of inherited integrity to get cash for the next 'fix'.

ONCE one is exclusively identified with the body and its corresponding personality structure (in the realm of blind powers acting upon each other), Coercion can be brought to bear by direct violence through to subtle inferences that are backed by the capacity or belief in the capacity to effect such violence on one's body, one's mind, one's loved ones, one's assets. The 'balance of powers' includes a willingness to limit such power through rules, laws and collective enforcement. But the nature of guile is to operate in the shadows towards undermining such limitations in one's own personal agenda and its own self-justifying exceptionalism.

So within the experience of our waking conscious sense of the world, we experience a conflict between an inherited or innate integrity that may be heavily denied by fearful and guilt or shame-framed self-definition, and the dictate of fear which operates as a driven or threatened sense of personal survival. Awakening to integrity and choosing to stand in it and live from it, may well meet the confusions of a split sense of self, but is awake beneath it and within it. Freedom to be who you are is the freedom to withdraw allegiance from what you are not. It is also the freedom to be truly guided as to how to relate in any given situation so as to release the hooks and triggers whereby guilt and fear would manipulate or 'bait' reaction. Freedom is of the Spirit - that is the freedom of Purpose. When all that arises is used to serve a willingness to uncover truth - then that is the purpose it shall have for you. When that is the ONLY purpose, then you have released all that WANTED untruth in yourself.

It is easy to invent scenarios to demolish love's reality for that has been the job description of the mind for millennia. But life is not rehearsal in mental dissociation so much as an ongoing unfolding living relationship in which one swims with the current or apparently against it - yet it flows as one whatever the little eddies and undercurrents may suggest.

What one attunes to becomes the focusing of their choosing and their experience - which then conditions the mind as reinforcement. Un-owned and un-transmuted fear is slavery. Identified and accepted guilt is powerlessness. Both can take many forms so as to operate a protection racket.

Following the dictate of fear  - albeit dresses as the temptation to 'power' or self-specialness - 'sells one's Soul' - which is to say trades an innate and integral capacity for joy and creative relationship for a 'lead role in a cage'.

The way out of an impossible situation... is to recognize you are not in it. Yet experience is equated with 'reality' and seeing is equated with 'believing'. Such is the slavery of a conditioned mind.

"Can I choose to deny true freedom in ever deeper and more complex and conflicting patterns of denial"? The answer is not to ask the question as a means to find out! Knowing that this is a painful and self-defeating futility, can you or anyone want this?

The capacity to maintain the focus in the physical experience is temporary. Not only requiring daily sleep, but innumerable correspondences behind the scenes to effect the experience - for even the material aspect of existence is not as solid and continuous as it seems. It also tends to operate as a discrete 'life-time' whether long or short.

While we cling to life in the terms we set, we fear not only death, but Life Itself. When Plato's freed man tries to speak to those in the cave, they will not hear, or will redefine what they hear in terms of chains. For they yet seek to be free from light, so as to dream alone in darkness. Dreams of freedom YES! Good News! Now they can understand. Feed them dreams of freedom so that they can cover and salve the pain and shame of a broken will, a lost love, a shadow of a life.

"Can I let myself into freedom"?

By siding with it instead of fighting for it. There is no freedom in hate. Don't take the bait!

Original Nature and original sin

The investment oriented news and comment site 'The Daily Bell' is basically a libertarian orientation to economic, political and social ideas, institutions and events.

This Daily Bell interview opened my comment below.

- - -

The IDEA of original sin has been almost universally interpreted and applied within the idea itself. Or it would not be original - but derivative.
The idea; 'sin' has become devalued as a useful term by being used as a WEAPON and shield for invalidating self and other and world by some idea of a rationality or power that is presumed 'without sin' - as the 'Judge' of self, other and world.
That IS the original error.
The 'error' by which one obscures and depreciates one's awareness of self, other and world, but the error cannot be observed with the mechanism of mind that the error gives rise to.
The mind that we presume to operate FROM is part and parcel of the world-construct as we define and experience it. But IT presumes itself apart from - so as to divide and define in terms of its own presumed 'power'.
Everything that proceeds from the father of the lie can only be the lie. In this sense the root is not in the effects but at the cause.
Original Nature is that which is believed to be lost, obscured, distorted, corrupted and usurped by (original) sin.
Original Nature is expressed as innate and inherent worth - that is not affected or edited or changed by anything one thinks or does - ever. And sin became the idea of uncorrectable error backed by an unyielding or fixed and merciless judgement.
But to sin is to miss the mark - not least because of aiming at a mistaken reflection of the target.
The paradox of nature and nurture reveals both AND more are actively one experience of cause and effect operating in TIME.
The 'more' is the embracing and pervading Consciousness of which a polarized mind in struggle and reaction is oblivious of and distracted from.
Greater perspective is not gained within the framework of the conflicted mentality - nor by a coercive attempt to enforce all but what the dominant power asserts 'rational or true' to be invalid, unworthy and heretical. So therefore to be denied.
The way the deception operates is from a level above or upstream to the apparent events and outcomes. The redistribution of blame does not ever address the cause - but perpetuates and propagates it in the guise of answer.
To address the cause, one must awaken as the responsibility at the level of cause. In simple terms one cannot change that which one has refused to own.
Original sin is not way way back in time - because the error persists and propagates moment by moment by moment... AS an experience of time in which cause and effect are NOT one but delayed, and in which delay it can seem meaningful that a loveless and coercive means could yet give rise to a love-worthy goal or effect.
Such is the person-prismed prison of the mind 'apart from' that identifies and operates 'over and against'.
"See what YOU made me" it screams, asserting its injustice as justification for hate and attack.
Power seeks only freedom to operate in - and then to progressively free itself of any adversity or obstruction that would hold it in check - which it 'sees' everywhere and in everything as an ever shifting delusional nightmare from which it refuses to awaken.
But is it power? or is it the grasp for power, the wish for power, the fear of losing power, the fear of powerlessness?
The power to heal is in us - as is the power to destroy awareness of the power to heal. But the effects cannot unmake their Cause.
Rationality is simply a subtle disguise for un-owned attempts to escape conflict of fear by denial, through personification of 'objectivity' that is then used as a puppet by unconscious and destructive drives to vindicate or validate that which has no basis of existence at all.
Rationality adopts the guise of Reason - which is Sanity of un-conflicted congruency.

Note that not only is the justification for coercion in the name of freedom blind to its own deception - it is actively defended against such exposure.
It is inevitable that the one who would reveal the falsity of an anti-terror terrorism be associated with the terrorist.
Is it not clear by now that the apparently opposing polarities share a single agenda!

Here is another reason to 'love thine enemy' - for it is the one who seems enemy to you, who brings to you the recognition of that in yourself which you judge against, and feel fully justified in hating and attacking.
"to arrive where we started. And know the place for the first time" is to recognize the entrance-ment to a mind/world of false division given to fear and hate - and see it meaningless.
When the false is undone, no truth need be asserted - but is simply evident as the obvious.
Freedom is known as truly aligned wholeness of being. Heart and mind as one.
Loss of freedom is believed and experienced in asserting misalignment as if to get to or become free.
The experience of a polarised and conflicted world will continue to intensify itself until the difference in each CHOICE is recognized. But true choice is only available at the level of Cause. All behaviours are conditioned by the Ideas that they embody. There is no freedom at the level of behaviour itself.
Trying to make it so is to deny one's cause.
Denying one's cause is the 'original sin'. Its progeny all persist the same patricide. This is evident as the patterning of the history of the 'independent power'.
Surface mentality is a mask by definition. It can serve as a lens of experience but can hardly be used to define the depth - much less control them. Yet such is the conditioned arrogance of human ignorance that believes it knows - yet has no peace of Knowledge.
Tyranny can and does express itself in and as any kind of form. If the imposed collectivism operates in denying expression of thought, the imposed market based 'individualism' operates in framing all permissible thought in an illusion of freedom in which token resistance, token freedom, token enemies, are allowed and supported and encouraged.
The sucker is the one who WANTS to believe they can get something for nothing, or indeed make something worthy out of an ongoing unconscious delusion by which he/she is cultivated.
The other sucker believes they can exploit suckers and retain their own integrity. But they prey to self-specialness and arrogantly assume 'power', elite status and except themselves from law until they can remake it in their own image.
It takes two to tango...
