Hate as poison bait into false currency

I wrote the following in response to an example of hate-speech within the various comments under this article on media bias or lack of journalistic integrity. In itself it would not warrant reply but in a forum where a willingness of communication occurs - I felt to address it:


The venting of hate may give a sense of personal satisfaction - but at what cost?
Apart from feeding rage of a blind destructive denial of life - it poisons the possibility of communication - for hate does not enter into or open to communication - as it 'already knows' what its grievance dictates as wholly justified and therefore asserted as 'true'.

If offguardian comments becomes a hate-fest then anyone coming in will be coloured by the sense of its readership - and as such hate posting is a kind of trolling that amplifies noise to obfuscate the signal - whether by design or by personal reaction.

Any communication about the nature of a perceived deceitful or hateful influence on corporate, political and other key social institutions cannot be discussed without eliciting hate-reaction that then blocks further communication while feeding the very thing it purports to be 'against'. For hateful intent of 'enemy' is needed to maintain a collective identity under threat. But more than this it also triggers guilt and aversion in those who find themselves associating in it as part of questioning or discovering a clearer sense of the situation - for while those engaged in vendetta feel justified in hate - those who desire to uncover truth tend to hate encountering hatred and feel invalidated by any seeming association with it.

Hate, fear and guilt operate a shadow 'power' of a wolf in disguise or a 'hidden agenda' beneath seeming to care. Political 'identities' are no different from any other identity construct and operate the same patterns of psychological defence as are vilified or considered pathological in extremis - but socially invisible in their more general tacit agreements.

The presentation of persona that The Guardian and others demonstrate is a targeted appeal to an 'identity' - where that identity is no longer associated with its original formative movement - such as speaking truth to power and social justice - not least because the penalty for openly doing so is feared.

When someone DOES come out in a simple but steadfast willingness for true accounting - such as Jeremy Corbyn - their own revealed self-hatred will be aimed at him - because he is illuminating something true by which a lie is revealed a lie - and this is fearful and threatening to a sense of surviving, managing or controlling their lives. They may believe the lie is a necessary evil in terms of a larger 'good' - such as their political 'identity' getting into 'power' on some terms of token gains or lesser evil, rather than being persecuted and powerless in an open honest communication.

I note that I cannot make another's choice for them - and that nor really can I judge another from a place of perfection - excepting perhaps in the sense that my life offers a perfect 'education' of self-knowledge and so therefore can I accept that others also learn by the outcomes of their choices as I do - if not always immediately or without significant suffering.

Perhaps I have chosen to respond to you in error - as your proclivity to deny the humanity of others is so persistently voiced - but I feel a sense of betrayal is beneath 'giving like for like' - and is then also harnessed and directed by manipulators who get others to do their dirty work while retaining plausible deniability.

But who manipulates but that they get a sense of power or identity-reinforcement from the lie? And what can this mean except they have fear of loss of power or identity? Hating others will validate and 'prove' their identity in denial and defence. Joining in hate will make a lie of joining without any genuine trust or intimacy occurring - and that lie will provide 'identity' in lie as long as the hate can be maintained through the willing sacrifice of joy in life to appeasement of self-denial or vendetta of self-righteous hate as 'power'.

Watch out for hate-driven deceits

Acknowledging My Own Racism in the Era of Trump

My comment:


Self-hate, denied fears and denied denials manifest in all sorts of reflections.
That then reinforce themselves as a triggered 'identity'.

Our true identity is not really manufactured but arises within a relational experience.
But the masking persona asserts an identity made upon someone else's loss or in projection of lack or invalidity onto the Other. A loveless sense of such a self uses hate and fear objects to justify and validate itself - as if to protect and thus 'love' itself.

It also uses the hate and fear of owning up to hate and fear feelings and acts as a basis to make narratives of collective reinforcement for collective 'identity'.

If a description of a mechanism becomes a HATE term for personal agenda - such as 'racist' - then such an invested persona diverts and blocks further curiosity or illumination of what is actually operating in place of a recognition and acceptance.

The investment in persona and personified 'reality' is the apportioning and validating of BLAME - by which to invalidate Other and hide a sense of self righteous in the judge.

Humanity has a deep self-hatred that inevitably projects to reflect a hateful sense of existence - and the layers of self that are made to mask and cover this hatred are defended as if our very self. But they operate divisively and towards a fragmented and segregative sense of self.

When we meet that which we hate or have masked feelings of hate toward - we are in touch with aspects of self that are beneath or in some sense upstream of the persona.

The attempt to eradicate or overcome hated or feared 'evil' in oneself is the very means to fix it and keep it as  the unconscious lens through which to seek a PERSONAL validation.

Jesus warned against this - but once self righteous blame is invited in and used as 'power' - a reversal operates in consciousness that defends itself against exposure - in your name.

Breivik the monster

Yes, Anders Behring Breivik Is a Monster. No, He Doesn't Deserve Solitary Confinement

I couldn't get the site to accept the whole thing so I chopped off bits until something went in. This is the whole of what I wanted to post:

Firstly - all this attention and provocation is being consciously purveyed in mainstream media - so it is serving more than Breivik's agenda - whatever that might be.

Mob-Judging others as to what they "deserve" is an expression of out-sourced and un-owned self hatred - which is very difficult to feel and abide. Of course the LAST thing that features is anything to do with self - for hating the sin in the OTHER is the way to excommunicate any trace of it in ourselves. 

Vengeance and justice are antithetical to each other, or rather, when vengeance is equated with justice, hate is accepted and worshipped as power and true relational communication - and all that comes from it is denied. That is the undercurrent purpose of any act of terrorising; to reset and re-frame the narrative in ITS terms.

Note that self-righteous hate begets self-righteous hate... unless you choose not to be define in hate - but to re-assert a core integrity of humanity. 

Assessing what conditions are appropriate for the restraint and potential re-education or re-habilitation should not be sentimentally driven - either in hate or pity - but compassionately discerned within an honesty of being that hate denies and breaks in order to persist in our thinking.

To love yourself as your brother as the Source of Life is not intelligible to hate or to power derived from hate. Love is the quality of presence that is being with what is real in yourself, while being with who or what you are with - for these two are not strictly separable; you will interpret through your "self" however much seeming to justify judging another from a higher place.

Mirror images of extreme polarities are dividing us in ways that invoke hatred under guise of righteousness - including extreme 'centre' of anti-extremism.

But when triggered into hateful feelings we mostly have no awareness or willingness with which to consider any perspective but our conditioned reaction. And so whatever else is called for in practical terms, to use the negative experience to generate a positive or re-integrative outcome is to stay in true sovereignty of will and refuse the usurping deceit of hating to feel better about yourself.

Once a denial of humanity is established in one case, it will be expanded to other cases. Hence invalidating terms given currency, are then used to justify summary executions, invasions and subjugation of others in every aspect in which power is transferred from a process of true communication to the judgement of whoever has the biggest gun or control of those who have them - and that includes economic weapons.

Communication breakdown or refusal to feel and know

These were commented into one of the UK mainstream news articles on the legality of UK drone execution on Syrian territory.

To an expressed desire to summarily kill presumed or alleged enemies without due process of law:

Does that apply to those in positions of power who attempt to usurp from within? (No less a crime but who steals a kingdom is called 'king').
If false case is laid before you will you give a blank cheque to execute the framed - as in Iraq's invented "weapons of mass destruction".
Is 'terrorist" a clearly defined term? Do you see that many terrorists become legal governments - as in the founding of Israel for example -or the ending of SA Apartheid.
If you are aware of the true context in which inflammation arises you would not seek to inflame it further with arrogant self-righteousness. A process of communication and core justice is generally persistently DENIED by those in power to those who suffer denial.
But while suffering the illusion of righteous power, war - in one form or another, persists! War draws many into it to become the sacrifice to its god. War operates the economy and our thinking in almost all aspects of our culture.

To an expressed desire to automatically strip citizenship from any presumed or alleged enemies without due process of law:

As I see the current trend almost EVERYONE is being systematically stripped of their citizenship through ruses of manufactured austerity and likewise seeded 'war on terror'.
In the usurping of wisdom and in the name of protection does Foxy Loxy induce the willing to entrapment.
If Foxy has your thoughts - you may think them your own - until a true account is called.
Justice is not in the world of war - but it is inescapable. "Everything you do, you do unto Me" holds a meaning the war-minded refuse to hear - and war is the way to block the ear in mass distraction and notional security. The enemy is subtler than a mind in reaction can imagine - for such a mind is generated BY the fear that hides in deceit. I declare a state of peace to exist beneath and beyond the mind-world of hate of fear and shame - but it is only found by true willing desire. Who would scapegoat others with their own guilt - let them hear the crowing cock.

To a summary execution (inavlidating dismissal) of what I wrote without due process of communication:

Wrap it up and dismiss it - as if you have actually engaged in communication. Such is the nature of an ignorance and arrogance that is defended against the possibility of feeling awareness - of the presence of life. Yes you can manufacture emotionality as part of your strategy, yes you can ardently worship and defend some symbolic token of 'Life" but what you cannot or will not do, is listen - because of course 'you already know'. But to judge is not to know and everything you give out comes back - not in vengeance but as justice of setting the measure of your worth.
Consider that the 'war' on terror - has and is forcefully SEEDING the very thing it purports to 'eradicate' whilst operating the eradication of rights and freedoms of its own population. It also asset strips the Earth to an evaporation of misery and debt and powerlessness. Into which at some pre-ordained threat, the need and call for global power as protection is inserted.
There are better ways to live than upon a foundation of terror - which operates to split off our minds from Creation Itself.
To find true cultural renewal on has to go much deeper than the fear by which we are manipulated - or it is but rebranding spin upon denial of a war within our own consciousness.
It may be so that anyone can become anyone else's hate target - or be run over, fall down stairs, etc But the replaying of terror symbols in the mind as a persistent threat by which to shut down the truly creative being we are is a self-made living death. You THINK you can use it to have your moment of power - and obviously you have your reward - but such victory is hollow and fleeting - and honesty rises if you don't keep it at bay - because true nature does not use coercion to be all that it is. Only the lie calls for such defence to seem thus to survive.
Hate is blind - whether us or them, but consider that false flag and trojan deceit is established in the mind of power as necessary evils - and the price it demands collateral loss. It is never satiated but fleetingly.

Assassination by drone

Cameron’s drone strike in Syria raises questions

I do not give credibility to anything reported at face value, especially when effectively pasted into the main stream media. In modern times more sophisticated ways of engineering perceptions and indeed consent are available and used without due transparency or accountability. A purpose of self-protection operates openly. But what is protected to persist may not be true of us and may actually hasten loss or death. Fear stifles growth and war inflames negative 'growths'.

We are assured that our established institutional power structures are acting in our best interest and not serving their own private agenda as a power cartels - for by the regulatory protections that deny transparency and accountability, they become cartels imposing upon their will upon their citizens rather than in a genuine relationship of service.

Criminal acts are not acceptable and the rule of law is called upon. No matter who is involved.

Is the seeding and propagation of terrorism used as a proxy for other agendas? - for the so called "War On" anything has always effected the promotion and seeding of that thing - wither haplessly or by design. So who benefits? - what agendas are enacted within its cover? Follow the money? Note the consolidations of power? What are the weaknesses by which we are exploited to support what we would not otherwise choose or tolerate in ourself?

Are you told what to think? Is fear the basis of our thinking, or are we indeed created in and of a true presence of communication extending?

The 'deceiver' is fear-thinking. It plays all sides of any conflict and uses our fears as a point of gaining leverage and support. Personally I recommend not to use it, for no matter what it promises it always deals the same hand.

It appears that Mr Cameron is openly dealing the death penalty to British citizens in a foreign country without any prior procedure of trial or accountability whilst appealing to secret intelligence under notional security to justify himself after the act. That the individuals may have in fact been who the intelligence says they were and intending what is said they were is not the point - though anyone emotionally captive to the narrative will insist it is THE point. But that is the power of controlling the narrative! The war being unleashed is not contained or containable excepting by pausing from reaction within the narrative of hate and fear and the distortions and deceptions that are natural to hate and fear.

Everything we do, teaches others but also sets the measure of our own learning. We come to believe our own spin! We ARE each and all making choices that determine our world - and the world that then unfolds of such choices - for to choose to love to hate invites hatred to usurp our sovereignty of will in a false sense of power and an over extending reach that hollows out and lays waste. And we are undone not by 'enemy' but by our own vanity and folly. Who thinks they can control war? The globalist "elite" and their new world order? They embody the idea of war - not in their core humanity - but in the idea of exclusive right or power to prevail over and deny all else. And of course such action brings equal and opposite reaction - which they think they are using but they are out of relation and cannot see the humanity of others because they do not accept their own. I do believe a global governance will come - but one that serves the balance points for a maximal diversity of living, not a top-down dictate upon slaves. We've been there so many times.

Our humanity is the key to our divinity - but to become in the image of our hate is to forsake our true inheritance and believe ourself denied and to seek scapegoats to dump on and to kill.  It isn't really fundamentalism, extremism or radicalism - but an exclusive self righteousness within whatever forms mask the hate and thus give it justification - or sanctify it in the 'religion' of victim sacrifice to a jealous and vengeful god - for such is the god of fear  - regardless to forms it takes.

Waking up is a capacity to discern the communication within the form - rather than captive to form-based narrative. Why feed a man with fear when you can teach him how to recognize phishing attacks?

Becoming the thing that one hates

British PM draws up new strategy on extremists

http://www.albawaba.com/news/british-pm-draws-new-strategy-extremists-721316

 Becoming the thing that one hates

It is said that one becomes what one hates. Self righteousness is blind to the needs of others and to the wholeness of life, and therefore to one's own true needs. Fear unfaced, and guilt and inner conflict unowned, operate unconsciously to propagate fear and conflict. The belief one can use fear to coerce others or manipulate outcomes to align a private agenda is a seduction to the illusion of power. An illusion that always opens to being thus manipulated oneself, and so made hollow and powerless to another's agenda.



These things can be known in the heart. The heart can be ignored. We all make choices. The choice to ignore the heart is the choice to be blind to the needs of others and to the wholeness of life and therefore one's own true needs. Such choice may seem justified by fear to have priority over all else. It operates as a reaction of conditioning and identity that becomes trapped in its own perspective - out of touch with, and blind to the needs of others and to the wholeness of life and therefore one's own true needs. It then defends itself against SIGHT - in the belief that anything that undermines its perceived struggle and goal IS the enemy.



The enemy is unfaced fear and unowned guilt and inner conflict. One cannot solve an inner problem externally - and attempt to do so will only protect the problem from healing by hiding it in the world. One does not get rid of hate with hate. One releases what is seen to be self-contradictory so as to restore a unified will. The attempt to unify self or nation over and against enemy or fear can never more than seem to momentarily work. The hunger for power over externally framed and un-owned inner issues, sacrifices life to the illusion of gaining or wielding such power.



This operates a false god. The recognition of unconflicted will, is the power to know your right relation within a wholeness of being. There is no coercion involved in being who you truly are. The coercive sense is born of conflicted fear. Facing fear in willingness to align with true, is not martyrdom, but humility that truly listens to others, to the discerning of wholeness in the situation and to the true movement of our heart's desire. When fear becomes normal currency, love may seem extreme and threatening. Therefore, in dealing with the fearful, honour the capacity of choosing without joining in negative choices - for the power to choose is the power to choose differently.



Demonzing choices gives them power of a negative charge. Of fear made real. Insanity and error or sickness of mind is not a weapon in war - but a condition calling for correction. Foolish, hurtful, and self-harming choices are to be seen as exactly so - and not personalized into a great evil upon which to re-structure human society. There are many such evils that are no less worthy of correction. Factions fixate on different facets and polarize each other in an extremism that denies the capacity to simply live a shared humanity, and would place terror on the altar of our desires in guise of righteous power and protection.

Guilty until proven innocent - reversed consciousness

Johnson calls for 'guilty until proven innocent' for suspected terrorists

Mayor of London says ‘minor’ law change should reverse presumption of innocence for those who travel to Iraq and Syria

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

#4 - in reply to:

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

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

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

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

Margaret Thatcher - joining in hatred? hating to love?

The following comment arose from an article that was itself commenting on an edition of the TV program 'Question Time' that had been devoted to the passing and the legacy of Margaret Thatcher.



Opinions - even if finding agreement - do not become true.
Willingness to truly listen to that which opposes or undermines one's own pet theories, opens the mind to be more receptive to a wholeness of life that cannot be divided up and fought over.

The personalising of such contest, makes sport of  what could actually allow communication to occur. The market feeds the appetites that seek personal and private gratifications over shared well-being, and the mentality that manipulates the mind to presume to be a determiner of 'truth' rather than a beholder of truth, seeds war and division in all that it does.

Corrections occur when they must - because even a deluded self interest cannot maintain itself amidst actual collapse. But the way in which they occur can seed the mentality of hatred and division, so as to infect the new.

Ultimately, the change is occurring through us all, as one, yet is accepted in some before others and is interpreted and therefore experienced differently according to our identifications.

The individual is not independently authoritative, but such a dream 'lives on' while we wish it were true and interpret and react accordingly.

We do what we can with what we have. And the fears and guilts that obstruct true vision are not something we have control over while we experience them outside ourselves as the 'hated enemy'  indeed the 'saviour'.

Confusion about what we are and what life is, will continue to manifest split minded decisions and solutions that seed problems.
Loving to hate is hating to love - and this is the hatefulness that is unconsciously nurtured in self righteous or self gratifying delusion.
Who is without sin - let them cast the first stone.

Who really IS the being that we called Margaret Thatcher (or by any other name?). She is identical to all of us - not in form - but in essence. There ARE no exceptions.

Cardinal speaks of paedophilia as a disease

Paedophilia is an illness NOT a crime, says cardinal just days after papal conclave

What is the role and function of guilt in the human experience?

What is the nature and function of an identity that pretends to be in control of (its) life?

What is the nature of a mind that tries to gratify its own appetites and desires upon or at the expense of life - ie: other people?

What is the nature of a mind that is essentially a complex defence mechanism going through the mimic and the mask of passing off as valid, respectable or real?

What is the role of evil and enemy in the mind that seeks to distract attention and awareness from its own lack of validity and therefore 'loves' or is driven to find the hateful and unacceptable in OTHERS.

How can we find the wherewithal to address situations that are horrific in a way that heals?

Is the desire to hate, kill, dehumanise and expel a paedophile, a similar kind of appetite to that which drives such individuals to totally disregard the sanctity and dignity of others who share the same Life in attempt to justify or maintain our own fantasy?

Shall we cull the humans, deer?

 An article on proposed deer culling brought a harvest of response to share with you this morning - initially from the many comments that suggest culling humans.

- - -




The comments to this article are peppered with the new fashion in 'green' thinking - that humans are vermin. Humans are writing these comments but are writing comments rather than committing suicide. So it is 'other' humans who are vermin.

Perhaps the 'vermin' is actually a kind of thinking that humans host, rather than humanity itself. Thinking, is not unlike a sort of parasite. There are parasites that alter the minds of their hosts and get the host to behave according to the needs of the parasites. Perhaps, an opinionating warlike and self hating mentality will blossom in a mass cull? The suffering and destruction of which might not bring such a self-satisfied smugness to whoever survives. Mindless destructive urges are helped along by a disconnected desire to make a 'war' for sport and entertainment out of everything rather than desire and participate in uncovering truth.

The urge to control perception and 'make true' is a madness of humankind. But it only takes a little light to heal it. The urge to domesticate our experience attempts culling the elements that keep us awake, humble and respectful - in exchange for a managed, herded, and essentially passive life of consumption in a fenced off field or an artificial cell fed with an intent to keep us stupid and docile.

It is easy to be reactive. Just allow the mentality of the past to run without bringing into a light of discernment in true desire.

I enjoy meeting deer - there are two muntjac in view in the field opposite as I write. Diversity of life is healthy and a healthy mind will not set itself in rigid monocultured lifestyle.

Our world reflects our mind - or even dare I say it - the Mind of God's Son. The kind of thinking we identify with and embody - will reflect back to us as our experience and our world. The spirit of the deer is part of who we are, as is the spirit of the forest - and of all that lives. To act in consciousness of a greater Life than our own personal sense is to share in the wonder and nature of existence. But sentimentality is an undermining of true feeling and emotionalism acts out a projected sense of a false associations and identifications.

Take only as the need is met and give thanks for true fulfilment. Soul-less man will not be able to merely enact this as data, targets and boxes to tick. There is a living context in which we do science, in which we think, in which we truly feel. Without the unifying context of true feeling, man makes himself machine. Yet the delivery system to a true fulfilment, serves the Consciousness of being truly lived. This is not data that can be gathered or analysed - and hence does not exist to a mindset of control, rooted in a 'hidden' tyranny.

If the lack of natural check is from our own interference - which it is - then we are obliged to accept the effect on woodland as an extension of our interference. Our sense of our own 'lost' nature invites projection onto 'poor nature'. Heal yourself and uncover your true life - and then you wont try to 'solve' your sickness as if it was 'out there'.

The willingness to heal must start here - or we become mad worshippers of a false god. Innocence is uncoverable as our essential being. Participance in nature can help us remember. Our thinking does not!





And in response to MikeBoyes comment:

“In the absence of predators the only way to manage them is to shoot them...”

There are strong ecological arguments for the reintroduction of predators such as lynx and wolves.
A proper equilibrium between populations of predators and grazing animals like deer means that overgrazing is limited, and that diverse patterns of vegetation benefiting other species are encouraged, as grazing animals adjust their behaviour patterns to the threat of predation, rather than simply being able to eat everything they can reach, at their leisure.
Unfortunately, the reality seems to be that the instinctive aversion of the public to large carnivores, makes reintroduction of formerly native predators highly unlikely to occur on any significant scale.
Even if that was not an issue, there is simply no way the powerful farming lobby would allow it to happen, because of the threat to livestock.

You can be sure that such an risk-averse mentality is not left untapped as predatory opportunity. Man predates upon his own kind in seeking power - and nothing is quite so dangerous as a template safety of simply believing or assuming one is safe - because it renders us unconscious, on auto pilot in conditioned realities of extended dependencies! However, a true intelligence cant be suppressed by any kind of lobby indefinitely, because ultimately unintelligence doesn't work. When everything falls apart, the power structures associated with the problem lose allegiance. I'm not using the word intelligence here as usually meant. I don't mean cleverness or ingenuity - but an honest wholeness of approach. That which is denied or excluded always comes back to make trouble - as old folk tales can remind us. The study of the mind could have served a transformation of society rather than its manipulation. When it comes to it we vote for fearful attempt to control - or a willingness to open to, align with and accept, truth as it reveals itself. The attempt to manipulate always backfires - whether for a seemingly solid 'worthy goal' or not. So we have to be or embody the change we desire if we are to speak of it with any authority. For congruency of being has a power that cleverness cannot mimic - even if the latter can induce a short term yield. (Yes I know I spread out a bit from your point - so not addresses to you specifically - but into the larger issue of which these others are part)

Holocaust Memorial Day

When I was a boy and first heard about the Holocaust, as an extremely shocking example of a capacity to treat fellow human beings without a shred of humanity, and of suffering such an industrial scale and mentality - I couldn't begin to understand it - and on some level of my being an answer came of a silent recognition… It all grows out from the capacity to blank another human being.

That was the boy. The realisation is the same but I can articulate more now.

The capacity to BLANK another human being is the fruit of a mutual agreement to deny true presence. This becomes the cultural environment in which a mentality justifies itself at the expense and sacrifice of the reality of the other.

No matter what arises from this in terms of form and magnitude, it will express its seed idea. The mind in its role as justifier MOSTLY keeps the true cost hidden. But it cannot Be hidden excepting that the mind hides in its own 'realities' and becomes victim to its own thinking as if it was Reality itself.

To be possessed of loveless thinking is to be manipulated by a tyrannous will - believing one is free and justified in exercising power upon Life Itself. This is the sacrifice of Innocence to a god of self-image and its justification is in the projection of hatred onto OTHERS.

The reaction to this mentality replicates it - to hate and invalidate and BLANK the perpetrators who are but the puppets of their thinking - even those who think they control their thoughts or the thought of others.

The action of denying our mind is BLANKING. This is a way in which we sacrifice our true presence in order to posture a false one. As long as false presentations can be backed up, authorised or justified by the belief in the power of guilt, so will the BLANKING mind be hidden or protected.

The crucifixion of Innocence is the picture of the exercise of a personal power upon Life.

It seems inevitable or inherent to our nature and our perception of the Universe as a machine of death - in which man thinks to make his mark or prevail in fantasy.

But the simple Fact is, that love's presence is here to be accepted - or it could not be denied!

To use suffering as sacred has two aspects. We are cut through to the very Soul of Feeling. And the association of such with the event makes it Holy. But what is truly holy is not the wounds, but the Life.

The shadow of wound is not intended to be eternal. But is a cutting that offers a deeper or more integrated healing.

The mind that uses wounds as weapons is a mind seeking power for itself.

Only the powerless seek power - who have denied their presence in another and now seek to 'regain' what they feel they lack or have had taken.

I still cant understand suffering. Whether of millions or of one. When I 'let the dead bury the dead' it is not a disregard to the Life in anyone or anything - but of setting no mental image of self or life or God, in place of love's presence now. For such is the capacity to BLANK G-d.

To attempt ideas for conveying what is felt in the heart's intuition is fraught with the likelihood of confusion, because the mind that thinks it thinks alone IS confusion.

BLANKING is so 'normal' to a culture that worships power over Life that we don't realize we do it. And the defences against uncovering such a fact are the forces that murder on a global industrial scale as well as BLANK anything that registers as threat to the thought system that we associate with our power to live. But it is a false association and the foundations of our thinking not only can - but must - be questioned, if we are to become free of a tyrannous will, and restored to love's presence as true power shared.

Understanding Everyone: Empathic Reflections about Osama Bin-Laden’s Killing

"Even as you do unto any of men - you do unto Me.
I am the One who is with you now".

What you seem to do is an expression of what is in your heart. If fear and hatred find a place in your heart then you are lost to your love and will act insanely. But the healing of the heart does not lie in acting out from the belief that it's causes are out in the world or in the past, but in your willingness to be the love and see the love - even though love is beyond your own power to make.

The attempt to displace our own split mind onto the world and others can never be resolved in the world or by changing others.

While you seek to hide in the world, you need both enemy and conflict, in order to maintain a seemingly valid mind based upon a largely unconscious denial of your own thought.

None can be brought to reevaluate their own mind and experience but that they discover willingness freely in their own heart.

The seemingly endless conflict and suffering that man calls forth and takes value in is nonetheless the 'wake up' call for those who can no longer maintain their own illusions and believe them true.
Waking up is not an act or limited experience within the world but is the restoration to the mind of its true nature - such that stories of separation are no longer desired or acted out.
This moves us from viewing the world as persons or from identifying ourselves person. But opens to a living expression of the Life as it lives and moves and breathes all things.
God is no respecter of persons - because they are a mental construct in a script acted out as if it were real. Now, remains forever the point of responsibility - and the past is only substituted for it by our desire to experience a partiality as if it were real. This puts us in apparent conflict with reality. But only from the perspective grown within the illusion itself. Not in truth.
The undoing of sins is the nature of perfect love.
In preparation for receiving this we may find stepping stones - where we gain some sense of order amidst chaos by 'putting sins' onto a symbol - and killing it or driving it out. This is not the way that undoes sin - but simply seeds it in the darkness to rise again in other forms.

The mind that actively seeks vengeance cannot hear the call for truth - for it is possessed of its own assertions and a sense of surety that its grievance seems to prove. These are the poor for they know not what they are nor what they do. To love them for what they truly are is to grow the willingness for truth in one mind. One mind.
When the gift is given, it is received - even if the full acceptance of the gift is delayed.

Men live according to the thoughts that they accept into their minds. But have forsaken, denied, lost and forgotten their true relation and nature in their own thought.
To release judgement is to relinquish a power we never have had and become free of the effect of a false sense of self and life.
Truth is unbounded and undefinable - yet truly knowing and being known in perfect inclusion is not vague or thought derived experience.
This light cannot be communicated - but does communicate itself in its own way as we let it be our own foundation.

Thank you for your attention

In Peace

Speaking out in Courage

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

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