Leaving the Pharm

Pharmaceutical Marketing Supported by Deceitful Clinical Research

When Big Money works a power agenda of regulatory and institutional capture, it becomes a network of key influence, not only to establish a protected ongoing revenue stream, but to shape the way we think. The conditioning we receive as our 'education', like the conditioning we receive from our mass media, is a skewed distortion.
It is said that the 'devil' is subtle, howbeit we are deceived, and a modern way of putting this is that hidden fear and guilt play a key role in setting up a surface diversionary persona, which is a manipulative attempt to deny and control Life. Being out of true with our Self - our Life - is a dissonance that feeds sickness on various levels, In significant way the manually allopathic interventions operate the persisting idea of power over Life - as if from a mentality outside and superior. Indeed the presumption is of a marketplace of the power to enable us to manage, persist and prevail over the feedback of due consequence that is not recognised as part of the whole - but as 'evil' or 'enemy' to eradicate.
'War on Life' is an absurd and self-defeating notion, yet fear and guilt - and corresponding rage and shame become exactly this.
Not only is it insane it is defending such insanity AS if it is Self or Life - and usurps the protection due to Life for its own parasitic influence. It really is within our thinking and feeling as a result of deeply conditioned beliefs by which we define who we are in relation and reaction to any and everything.
The problem is significantly that we do not recognize the problem - for it presents itself in ways that allow no healing - only ongoing management or struggle and loss.
Loss is deprivation, and this becomes a sense of disconnection from Life. Restoring a direct and tangible communion or connection within Life is key. This is not a conceptual matter. But what we conceive in our heart we give birth to at some level and if our heart is denied in favour of loveless strategies of the victim/victimizer dynamic, then that is what we 'unconsciously' conceive and give embodiment to.
Science or any other human endeavour, is only as trustworthy as the integrity of those who use it. The idea that systems or mechanism can be set up to relieve us of the responsibility for conscious attention is by definition subconscious conditioning (learning).  But to be usurped by hidden agenda of manipulations that work through such conditioning is deceit. Housecleaning is in order. If it truly doesn't belong to you - (align with the truth of who you feel and know yourself to be) - stop carrying it around or using it. Make room for a wholeness of purpose of a reintegrated being. This is a complete shift of perspective. Health is re-awakening to Felt Perspective from a distorted and denied version of existence.

Health is uncovered - not imposed.

Don't Buy Into This Miracle Food Myth

An article on the excellent Green Med Info site inviting a larger approach to health than expecting superfoods to magically answer something that actually requires a more integrated approach.

A myth is a story that can reflect or encapsulate a truth. But mere wishful thinking can appeal to magic to 'solve the problem' without addressing its cause - and this can operate through ANY kind of modality. In fact most health-seeking tends to be in search of answers that avoid the intimacy and honesty of a transformative recognition of the causes of dis-ease.

Health is inner radiance and not something that can be added to a dis-eased or split off mentality.

To the desire to live out of true and 'get away with it' or to offset , delay and redistribute the costs - every kind of process may be hijacked so as to persist the addiction - which is socially invisible because it is so ubiquitous.

A willingness to come back into true is actually a stirring from within of desire to live and share life - to know and be known rather than invest in a mask and die in isolation while still apparently alive.

Uncovering health inevitably tends to be a matter of noticing and desisting from what undermines or is toxic to health, while reclaiming the curiosity and imagination to connect with and educate oneself as to what is health promoting. But if this is joyless - then it is persisting a joyless agenda - which is part of the squelching of health. So there are many levels of individual and interlocking pathways of reintegration; the key being to truly live our life and thus discern for ourselves what, when, who, and not get locked into something that masquerades as health-seeking but actually persists a fearful sense of self behind an appearance.

three short resonses to three current issues

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


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

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

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


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


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

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

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

Depression as a healing movement

Robin Williams found dead in apparent suicide after 'battling depression'

(I wrote this into a reply to a comment on the page article- shown at the bottom of this post).

Your Spirit is naturally and innately free. What depresses is a dis-spiriting self-definition. Much that we do in thought is hidden or made unconscious. Forgive that which knows not what it does in order to come fully into the realm of true choice. In other words abide in an active willingness to be shown what it is one is already engaged in that sets up or reinforces self-negative conclusions.

Periods of depression can therefore be seen as a process of releasing the outer in order to uncover a fresh inner movement of being.

Healing can be resisted as if it is disease when we identify exclusively with the negative self definitions of the personality structure. But fighting one's self is simply an absurdity given gravitas.

To be aligned with your true desire is to be single in purpose and whole in desire. Imposed wishing cannot substitute for your true desire - nor can it ever deliver a true happiness. An insane society reflects the frequency of our focus. It is up to us what we choose to give focus to... not the media... not advertisers... not those who are conditioned by corporate agendas.

For sure there are all sorts of ways to help ourselves and each other in a true alignment and that is what is actually going on the instant we attune to that frequency. A mind deeply conditioned to its subjection cannot suddenly accept its power, and so there are stepping stones that enable a shift from a fearfully asserted grip on what seems to be alone and threatened to a capacity to flow with and feel one's way as part of the whole.

Thoughts cannot trap the mind that thinks them... unless somewhere we are wanting that experience to be true. The territory one opens to in the willingness to awaken is indeed at times very hard to abide through - but understand that the structures by which one covered over, hid or ran away from one's self-as-believed-negative power were called upon to hide or mitigate these feelings. Coming out of anaesthesia in order to choose from a different foundation, is itself guided and supported BY that foundation.

As we live and grow from whole thinking, the susceptibility to old triggers fades.

Honesty is open minded. If we honestly get in touch with our feelings, why then force them into the thoughts that brought those feelings into experience? Owning the feeling fully releases the need to fight it. Humour can be employed as a manically driven attempt to overcome darkness within. It isn't then free to be loose and happy in the belly. To look at something that seems in its moment to be seriously threatening or seriously something it is not - and then to suddenly see what it is from awakened perspective is to laugh at what is not in the flow of what is.

And yes many tend to idolize externals as if to use them for proxy symbol of power in a fantasy life. This reinforces the belief we are powerless in the herd of personae seeking to make the mask real. The persona operates as a communication device for Life to communicate through. Worshipping one's self in such a limited reflection takes one's eye off the Ball. It is what lives and gives through us that re-minds us of what we truly are. Trying to be what we are not is much ado about nothing. We all come Home to recognizing we never truly left. (Backstage sounds of laughter and warm conversation).

In reply to

jodid I think there are a couple reasons for depression. One - we live in an insane society, a prison for our minds. Where up is down and down is up. We worship people like gods and poison people's minds with lower consciousness and fake spirituality. It brings sadness and un-fulfillment.
Second reason for depression: ....I think that depression is caused by chemicals in the brain. I think a lot of people have ammonia on the brain. I think this because when people die of cancer, they usually die not of cancer, but ammonia poisoning according to Dr. Hulda Clark. Ammonia causes the brain to fire continually due to cholinesterase inhibition. This causes depression, and continues repetitive thoughts over and over. Sadness, fatigue etc. To test for this I have purchased ammonia testers that are used for fish tanks. Above .5 is high..i tested off the charts The remedy for this is to take ornithine/arginine and egg lecithin to coat the nerves..

PS: I have no comment on an event in which conjecture enters before a communication of the facts has been given.

The Jesus Idea is both Messenger and Awakener

Daily Bell - Flee Rather Than Stand Your Ground
This article above seeks to suggest an alternate option from fight or flight (The heading is better put as disengage reaction rather than flee. Just walk away and put it behind you rather than feed that which only undermines your peace. Your peace is the clarity in which all else is appreciated as it is rather than struggling to make all things be as fear would have them be.

Here is my comment:

Give unto Caesar what is due unto Caesar (while it pertains and to the letter of its law). Give unto God what is due unto God.

Any messenger of a higher or more inclusive consciousness operates as a connection or awakener TO such a perspective.

This either triggers acceptance or resistance and denial. The latter interprets or redefines the message and the messenger in ways that reinforced and supported such separation-consciousness in more subtle disguises - but which no longer act as a conduit or messenger-awakener Consciousness. This was called attempting to put New Wine into old bottles - perhaps because leathern old bottles cracked when used for new wine?

In any case the forms of the message were subverted to become assertions of ego-centricity and hate or coercive manipulation such as to effectively neutralise or minimise the awakener's restoration to align within their full and true Consciousness.

This process applies to any inspirational spark of Consciousness that rises in the awareness of a persona identification. It can be readily observed in one's own mind - and any moment is an idea moment in which to notice how the mind seems to interject and cover over the Living Relational Reality with an interpretive structure that embodies certain ideas, wishes and definitions that are running largely - but not entirely - within the automatic or subconscious layer of a split attention.

Any shift of awakening - of direct noticing - reveals a framework of previously unconscious choice that can then be disregarded if no longer aligning with one's truly conscious desire. Releasing the coercive or fearful framework automatically allows the restoration of wholeness - to the degree that the recipient is willing to accept. Hence we have instant healings as well as a process of healing - depending on the willingness and readiness to accept. Likewise we have instant inspirations and progressive illuminations.

Awakening does not depend on belief - but an assertive or strongly held belief against it will select only those interpretations that reinforce its belief. However, once one has transcendent perspective and healed perceptions, the beliefs that now replace fearful and coercive ideas and self-definition likewise set a loop of reinforcement experience - MORE in line with the true nature of one's truth, joy or wholeness of purpose and appreciation. Again this can be a sudden turnaround or an inner shift that works through a process over time.

This reintegrating 'process' or realisation, is going on all the time everywhere - but is generally not self-aware until it has a vehicle of conscious willingness through which to know itself. A fragmenting or segregating purpose is also active - which operates as a separate and disconnected self-sense that actively denies or FORGETS.

Although the symbol of Jesus is one of transcendence, it is also one of embrace and expansion of what is present as one's experience - so as to be given a restored or healed perspective on whatever it is. Of course one will soon meet one's own persona's insistence that the 'answer' has to fit the framework of the problem as you have defined it, and this operates as an unwillingness to listen or a filtering out of what is not 'on your side' as you have framed yourself.

The parable of the wheat and the tares serves to indicate that until the harvest is gathered, both positive and negative (integrative and segregative) purposes are active. The readiness and willingness to accept truth as it is - that is without assertion of coercive demand that it fit YOUR frameworked or virtual identity, is a shift to a perspective that abides as the ordinary conscious ground of whatever is otherwise experienced.

The split mind is like backing all sides of every conflict - but shifting between them in various scenarios. When we recognize our own hidden 'elitism', we are free to relate in a different way rather than throw the first stone at that which we hate and hide in our self.

The 'church' in the original phrase was simply a real relationship at a level of self-awareness. No organisation or system is required to 'prop up' that which we simply ARE in our natural free condition. But such as there are calls or needs for systems or organisations, they can be set up within the perspective of vigilance for freedom from self-enamoured coercive or fearful thinking - as willingness allows.

One cannot coerce coercion out of existence, but one can reflect and illuminate choices that ARE being made that ARE resulting in painful and apparently unwanted outcomes. Once we see that we are in fact choosing a framework that sets us up to fail, we are free to choose differently.

The fantasy of the special one is an ignorance and an arrogance. When we recognize or notice such a framework of desire and intention in ourselves we then choose consciously whether to persist in self-illusion or let it go and come back into a current wholeness of being. That we are free to choose pain and redefine it as pleasure does not eradicate a fundamental dissonance alerting you to your being out of true. It is not your enemy or damnation, but your friend - once you embrace rather than hide your fear.

Paradoxically, the willingness to release the psychic or personal survival at a mental level, allows a perspective and flowing awareness that can 'feel' its way in a current embrace of all forces present. This is 'guidance' of the higher mind or simply operating as a wholeness of being with all that is present. The guidance of a fearfully driven mind is blinkered if not blinded by its past conditioning and will fail to walk through doors it sees as walls and seek doors where there are none. Its JOB is to keep you focussed in the physical aspect and your insistence that that is ALL there is to YOU, asks it to perform what it was not designed nor capable of doing - hence the shift from loyal servant to negative block of sickness or resistance of self conflicted futility. 

Coming back into one's right mind begins with recognizing or accepting one's insanity - which is the dawning of a sane perspective in a mind of confusion. Those who wake to the 'asylum' serve their way to transcend such perspective - for as you give, so do you in truth receive. No one escapes their own judgement, but everyone is free to let it go and discover what the mind of 'divide and rule' cost them the appreciation of.

Everything is a matter of perspective. All proceeds lawfully from its foundation. There is always another way of looking at anything and everything. How do YOU choose to see this current event or situation? Freedom aligns with true signature joy. There is no coercion in 'God' and therefore none in you. Deception is a device in which that which is NOT, seems to be, and replaces or usurps what Is. All experience is real to the beholder but a lens of illusion only covers the light while it is employed.

Grieving and healing

Have the British forgotten how to grieve? says the headline of a Telegraph article
 


You will trust your life and yield into its guidance or your social conditioning runs it for you. Of course one can flip in and out of both.

There is no right way to grieve because everyone is different.

If we leave our business unfinished, we carry it around until we finish it.
But no one will open to what they are not ready - nor accept and move on.

"Move on' is a full willingness to embrace the now and look forward from a sense of connection.

We none of us control life. Never did. Never will. But the heart has a wisdom we cut off from in our self-vanities.

Honouring that someone is in our life need not wait on their passing - but at least in joining to honour someone who we share, the love that they are IS shared - regardless their 'faults'.

Perhaps the dead disappear to our sight because we cannot bear the light. We see but darkness and absence.

The public figures are symbolic to our times. Can one grieve for who one does not know? If one has been truly touched - why yes.
How much of grief is about our self - our own life - our own desires and perhaps broken dreams? Most. But relationship is the love in which we know we exist. Our private thoughts do not give us life - but only seem to hold something back from Life.
Learning of Life is transformative. We are not as we thought. But then, how shall we think, see and act? From a more deeply honest connection? With the love we have shared in our step? Why not!

Attention disorder!

The use of prescription drugs designed to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder sufferers has soared by more than 50 per cent in six years, new figures have shown.

The Corporate Pharmacy 'Industry' aka 'Big Pharma' wants to manage life manually in every way it can open a market in. The spiritually passive 'consumer' wants to have their life managed in whatever ways enable them to avoid real relationship and responsibility. It's not being done to us - we do it to ourselves. A false kind of scientism is used exactly the way a false religious sense was used - to manipulate and control - but it isn't really 'out there' in 'evil' people wielding power - it is a kind of thinking that we share as currency finding expression through the structures and technology that our thinking creates.

To be insane is to be deluded or dislocated from reality. This is the result of our thinking. When enough people get stuck in the same place they call it reality.

Manipulators know the power of thought and perception and if one looks within - one sees that our mind is expert.

Science looks out - even in studying mind it looks out. Looking out in such a dictate insinuates a separateness that is withheld or kept secret. This sense of self-apart is an experience of an insane world. Adapting to a loveless insane world shares it and sacrifices our Soul - our living feeling being - to it. Surviving such a world is an intolerable strain. Its breaking down is a sign of true health. We are not meant to live in secret isolated unconsciousness - buried beneath a managed existence.

When Life's messengers are denied, they escalate to get attention until they cannot be ignored! Piling up problems by burying them in complex hiding places makes for a global breakdown. But this is still the Message trying to gain your attention. Breakthrough is the dawning in our mind of what was always in it but had been denied.

Be healed in the wholeness of your being - your attention IS love and naturally follows the discernment of your recognition of true Good. Question the basis from which you live out from - because what we call our thinking is not as free or true or reliable as we are apt to believe.

It isn't that THEY are manipulating us - but that we invite and open ourselves to it without realising and they let us because it is socially acceptable to live lovelessly and expect scientific support to prop it up!

A time of fundamental change is unavoidably Now

In nature metamorphosis grows a new organic being inside or alongside the old one. The organs that served the old becoming redundant. The old is cast off.
Human metamorphosis is the development and evolution of ideas. Everything in human world is a reflection or extension of human idea as to what we are, what life is and what it is for.

To cut to the quick, a mentality of 'getting private gratifications', always operates in secrecy of fear, guilt and control.  This can be rapaciously or collectively implemented in social agreements but is effectively blind to the life upon which it depends and to life's innate qualities of self, other and world - though it will deal in concepts or symbols of life. This idea of man as manipulator-definer of life has exploited, negated and undermined the organic relations that grew in the traditional models, in which integrity and trust were qualities to be brought forth in a process of demonstration of good faith and communication, rather than merely being applicable to data.

The wheat and the chaff have grown alongside each other and now is a time of harvest, which is not a judgement upon persons but an awakening acceptance. Awareness and acceptance of Now cannot be deferred indefinitely because pain of dissonance has limited tolerance. Ingenuity of mind can redistribute energy and attention so as to redefine reality and 'buy time' but an increasing complexity becomes also increasingly taxing and unworkable. Powerlessness, confusion, lack of vision or direction amidst ideas that no longer hold meaning.

We suffer now a kind of social and political tyranny that almost no one can see or articulate and yet its symptoms are clearly evident. Although there will be those others who symbolise the evil or error, the mentality that expresses as a fearful and controlling elite is supported by and reflecting of the prevalent modus of self-governance; as a hidden separative intent that seeks its own above all else but artfully masks so as to seem socially acceptable or personally justified.

Its thinking is a distortion of life that uses fear and guilt to manipulate conformity to dictated agendas of control in gesture of apparent protection. It uses all things and relationships to serve its self which identifies over and against others. It will mimic 'love' in order to get and is a parasite that offers a particular symbiotic opportunity because it depletes life of true wealth, joy, freedom and communion, and then itself breaks down as a structure of meaningful or believable allegiance. So it discards its host to a desecration in which conflict, guilt and unworthiness call on war and death to escape and blot out such conflicted mentality.

This is the condition in which an awakening occurs from a new foundation; as the mind that seeds judgement and division is put aside rather than activated. Without a new foundation is only the  surface shifting of props in a game of the redistribution of guilt and leverage. Truly new ideas are not re-branding of manipulative intent that plays on shallow hope but truly express a fresh perspective. The lies stories and vanities by which we seem to live - as a structure of 'exercising control over' are covering truth.

Truth is not determined or defined so much as accepted and shared. Of course this calls for the release of the will to coerce and control our life and the lives of others and obliges trust and communication to be brought into play as an expression of shared integrity. This unpalatable truth to the perspective within a dream of power over life elicits the refusal to love. But when this fear of love is recognised as so, there is opportunity to see and evaluate from a new perspective. One that works within life rather than separating out and asserting coercion upon it.

Political and social structures will emerge from the honouring of a true foundation. The heart of discernment will be an expression of unpretentious honesty. Manipulative ploys will be met with honest reflection and enquiry rather than self righteous blame. Fear and shame is not to be scapegoated, but released to be undone by not energising with reaction. To feel what we feel but  pause and listen for the movement of being - for a wholeness or nowness of being. Letting go the urge to justify self by loving' to hate. Let go of self-righteousness. This is how healing is accepted and foundation restored.

But nothing begins until such new foundation is accepted in place of a false one... within our self. Hence the false is uncovered to light to be released or recommitted to in desire to persist in the play of power struggle. We may explore ideas as experience, but we cannot choose what we are not, and make it true. Working with life works. Nothing else can really work and costs more than we realise in order to seem to work. 'With life' means truly listening rather than presuming to know. But we can presume to uncover the truth of any situation if we extend trust and willingness instead of self asserting positions of defence.

To be without mask is to be in conscious discernment in awakened responsibility for thought and perception. The mask is reaction in a game of war but the first casualty is the covering over and separation of oneself from the simple qualities of love; honour, acknowledgement, recognition, welcome, communion and gratitude.

Nothing else will heal the schisms or inner conflicts that the world fleshes out as if to solve 'out there'. A Copernican awakening awaits us. Nothing is as it seemed to that which thought to separate. When the ideas that formed our image of our self and universe open to their true source and movement, they unfold a unified expression of integral inclusion. This is both felt and known as the qualities and nature of relationship itself. Thinking as we practised it in self-differentiating limitation is no longer needed to identify a 'stranger in a stranger world' and so is free to creatively express inspiration of that which enlivens and shares.

If the reader is only defensively filtering through their thinking, none of this can make no sense, because the defence is to protect the foundation from exposure. Ripeness is a condition in which a process is ready to spontaneously occur. One can cooperate with life or fight it all the way. This is a surface freedom but what really is that choice? The freedom to be and share in what you truly are - in what is truly moving and being all that you are, is profound and inexhaustible. While we deny Source, we fear and deny it 'unconscious' in hopeful virtual dream that turns to nightmare.

But in aligning truly in trust and honesty, we see clearly there is nothing to fear but the drifting of thought unattended. For a mind at war with itself must fear. Even as a child will learn to walk, or talk, humankind will learn to think as individuality within wholeness - as a conscious receptivity and channel of trust to a cooperative intent. As long as one looks outside for this as if others must be in place BEFORE risking into an honesty of being, then the perception of lovelessness will justify waiting. Only commitment opens the vision that the fence-sitter deprives themselves of. We all know that freedom is found within commitment and wasted in prevarication but are simply afraid or pseudo committed to a cover story.

The issue is this; how do we truly and deeply trust ourselves in the light of that we actually know we are liable to self-illusion as a self - justifying attempt to balance a sense of invalidity or dis-allowance? We start with noticing that we tell stories that are not true and being willing to notice what moves us to do so - and so uncover our personal or cultural fears or shames or sense of desire that we don't feel worthy or entitled to. It's all there in all kinds of configurations and it is simply an adaptation that doesn't work any more and so with fresh eyes of a cooperative willingness, of a desire to honour and uncover integrity, we listen and feel and open imaginatively and creatively to new ways that do express integrity and also share it.

This is 'cultural renewal' because it connects directly with a felt sense of life rather than recycling old templates of ritual behaviours. That one gets pulled or taken over and over again by an old habit doesn't mean that it is not an old habit, but that its momentum requires a persistence of self worth over time to displace. And there is the key, because without a foundation in which one's worth and the worth of others is maintained in awareness, one simply cannot effect any real change in one's own or one's local or global relations.

These are not good ideas to identify or associate with, but illuminate a brink from which the only way forward is to yield to one's being. To come home from pain in struggle alone. For we suffer but our own rejection, and so can release it to a greater embrace. As we think in our heart so are we experiencing. Look now and let it be good news to be wrong about ourselves and so be free of its burden.

'Watch and pray' is not a hopeful intent, but an abiding in a willingness of noticing and listening - as the natural expression of being alive. Life is already 'nigh'. We simply have to re-learn to let life in, so as to realise it was always here. Re-learning what was once natural because we wanted and learned to exclude it in an act of self-differentiation. An act of identifying thought and focus in which we lost perspective and connection. But life never left us or we would not be. The impossibility of separation is the end of guilt and the rising of a light the world forgot or thought lost or but a dream.

While we want it true, our world made in separation will not be taken away - but is transformed to a world in which healing, awakening and forgiveness replace and undo hurt, grievance and vengeance. So that life is released to be itself in full and free expression. Life more abundant! The purpose that we hold gives all meaning to whatever seems to arise as our experience. We are not powerless, but loved and trusted in our unfolding experience that shares far more than a little mind could compass.

is it a crying shame?

A Guardian article on tears, emotion and control...

Andy Murray's tears are hard to watch

The Wimbledon champion turned to his dog for comfort in last week's documentary when recalling his terrible childhood experience in the Dunblane massacre. But I had to turn away...

 Comment:

Another term for Soul is 'Feeling'. We are primarily a feeling awareness.
But the displacement and denial of feeling is in emotional reactivity - which is a mental assertion that overrides Feeling. This may manifest as emotion or as a lack of emotion - but always as a dramatic mental strategy to hide or deny wholeness or honesty.

I notice and can feel the difference between tears that are the fully allowed Feeling, flowing - and those crocodile tears that are the 'poor me' - however dramatically expressed. We can also hear the difference in others, if we are not hooked into power struggle with them.

True control is not applied or asserted upon oneself but is a harmony of oneself.
To yield to a greater love is to trust beyond one's own strategic capacities - indeed it relinquishes them in order to know peace. That doesn't mean the we don't know how to be appropriate for life is not a disconnected inadequacy to relate.

Shame is associated with loss of control, yet an asserted or imposed control is illegitimate and self undermining or dis-integrating. Often an apparent breakdown allows a reconnection of more honesty.

Social mores and taboos express mutual agreements to protect the separate self interests of those who seem to separate from Soul, and thus suffer the mortal conditioning. But events in our life can rip all curtains aside and initiate a reintegration from an awakened honesty.

Manipulation is the expertise of the mind in its story. We all know how to play it and forget it is a game - as if becoming the mask.

The uncovering of our living truth to our awareness is a deeply moving experience, whether it comes in nice or nasty packaging.
Re-learning our nature is a yielding to a greater power and intelligence that is not ultimately outside our true being - but is outside our mind and world of personal control.

Yet while we assert and exercise the WISH for personal control, we cannot discern the basis for such a trust. Personal control locks the mind into a closed system from which it cannot escape. But one can release such a wish the instant one sees it is a false foundation that robs us of our true life.

So difficult for women to achieve equality?

The Global Conversation asked in

Question of the Week

Why do you think it has been so difficult for women to achieve equal status with men, even after thousands of years of humanity looking at this issue?


- - -

The neglect of and disregard for the honoring of Life as the root of our personal and relational culture allows every kind of false or faithless thinking to enter and grow in our mind. With every loveless wish, a false promise of personal power becomes the forgetting of the power that is truly shared.

Our status or worth then becomes a matter of contest rather than revealed in true relationship and shared purpose. And relationships become a means to get from rather than awaken through.

The perspective that one views with, delivers the results that are experienced.
Such perspectives are largely invisible, in that we do not realize our mind and culture is creating the 'world as we experience it'.

The desire to achieve can indicate tares and wheat, for the desire to know and be known truly, is the Purpose of Being Itself - for such is the nature of love. In this desire we stand in and join with the Movement of Being - even if apparently outnumbered. But in reactive and vengeful search for justice, our personal status becomes justified and identified in victimhood, which gives its power to the aspects of its mind which it disowns and projects upon the world - and sees in others.

Status can be like wealth. If we agree to define wealth in material terms alone, then we can identify with poverty and feel victim amidst a great abundance of Life.

As a man or woman thinketh in their heart - so are they. To wake up to the power of this is to awaken to a joined or communioned being - whose nature is of a unified perspective and whose willingness is to see the presence of love in others (and the world) and to be the presence of love for others (and for the world).

The attempt to substitute for love with personal power has both feminine and masculine liability! And the wreckage of the attempt to use power or love as coercive intent has reflected a breakdown of heart and mind.

The willingness to extend a presently felt movement of relational honesty that arises only from being undefended to our own awareness -which is beyond our control - is the extension of trust and the foundation of true sanity. Such a quality guides and supports more than an equality of status, it reveals a oneness of Source, nature and condition.

The attempt to think 'answers' is only helpful if it brings us to a greater honesty of listening beyond thinking. For the thinking of a self-strategic protection has become disconnected from Truth and is merely expressing fear - whether with force or with guile.

Thousands of years might ripen the insanely complex deceptions of the mind to bring its foundations up to the surface to be reevaluated instead of hidden.

Why is it so difficult to question or inquire as to the true nature of the experience of a human life and world? Because the distractions of the human experience are compelling, complex and designed to keep unwanted awareness at bay!

Now I might have asked the question the other way round; " why has it been so difficult for men to achieve equal status with women? - etc".
Because there is in the feminine, that capacity to yield and embrace, that the masculine is lost without. For the power of extension is not independent except in fantasy. Unless we yield to Life, then the Movement of the Qualities of Life will not be embodied in our thought or relationships.

To see the Life in each other takes a real willingness to disinvest of the games of power that we are all unconsciously inheritors and co-creators of.

Any attempt to fix the problem in terms of the problem will tend to reinforce the reality of the problem. Ultimately the problem is always a failure of communication; first within ourselves and then reflecting in our relationships and world.

To be restored to full communication is to be restored to a shared innocence and creativity of being that harmonizes without using power. This is a practical guidance within the entangled and complex web of conditioning and triggers that so easily shuts down any real communication from even beginning.

We are called to be still of our own thinking and listen in trust and desire for the movement of awareness that rises beneath the machinations of a mind of defense.

Doctors should report child abuse suspicions 'on a hunch' ???

In a climate of fear the 'machinery' that is likely to be set into motion by reporting suspicion tends to be blind, disproportionate and inquisitional - with guilt presumed regardless of anything anyone says or can show.

In the name of 'protection', a blind self righteous mentality is allowed to violate a family's trust in hysterical over reaction fuelled by a fear of being themselves vilified if they fail to be seen to act.

What ends up being protected - even worshipped - is the very mentality of guilt and fear that expresses itself as lovelessness and violence in all kinds of symptoms at a societal level, at family level and within the mind of a personal level.

What is always called for is discernment and a capacity for listening and communicating, that can both assess and monitor anything that might be an alarm. This discernment must start within oneself to BE discernment. There is no way a programmed template response can relate, communicate or serve to correct or remedy a need - especially when the prevalent 'culture' is one of shame, blame and vilification to be in any way associated with NOT being seen to fulfil the template requirements and therefore FAIL to protect.

Far from making sure that action occurs, a blame culture ensures that action is disproportionate, over triggerred such as to feed an alarmist paranoia, and a direct attack on those qualities of trust and communication that ARE present.

The horror, and a resulting hatred, of violence that human beings enact upon each other of a loveless intent and taking many guises is very hard to bear. The initial impulse is often to react in like kind to the energetic itself. To hate the hatred, and fear the fear, and to excommunicate and stamp out the guilt. For exposure to such, becomes experience of OUR psychic, emotional and mental violation, and few of us are awake enough to the mind's mechanisms of denial, displacement and projection - that personalize guilt as a scapegoat on the other, dehumanizing them, and find justification in righteous superiority and comparative 'innocence'.

Love in action needs to discern when not acting is honouring the truth of the situation; When action expresses a maximal and whole appreciation of shared interest - which establishes and communicates an integrity and sanctity of being, that can express forcefully but not coercively; That is trusted and held in communication enough to be able to itself extend trust and communicate.

The mentality that promotes fear and justifies hate is a deception, a manipulative intent. To fear it is to give it power, but to speak truth to power is to reveal the deception as it is.

If we are really so concerned with innocent victims, then why is the concern so highly focussed on very specificly selected instances and disregarding of so many others? Feel the bullying intent that would force the mind to comply, but don't become a victim by reaction. But see it as an alarm by which to become fully present and live from that, instead of from a set of thinking that plays out without love ever being truly expressed and shared.

The mind of deception 'divides and rules'. That is, it fragments a wholeness into parts, selects some parts and rejects others. This is a 'violence' against truth and life - for it judges as one part over another and denies the whole in which the parts are recognizably one.
A discernment is of the heart and mind as one and is an expression of willingness for true relationship and in service to all. You wont learn this from the media, but in a world tipping into insanity, it is the learning that is called for.

The 'mindset' of blame and shame is sickness that undermines any culture of trust, and communication. Love is not action so much as the field of trust and communication in which actions naturally harmonize. In which fear and guilt naturally rise to be corrected, undone, healed - rather than used to justify and perpetuate private self interests.

May the fear of love and the shame of an unworthiness of love be undone of their power to deny you.
May a desire to heal begin with a willing acceptance of healing - which is where the mind listens in the heart's guidance.
When you are truly listened to and received and honoured, you absolutely know it in your whole being. We can be that for ourselves  - and for each other.

Thank you for your attention.

What's Love Got to Do With It?

The article linked above looks at violent abuse of wives - by their husbands.
In which the minds of the women tend to denial and justification of the an unlove as if it were an expression of love. How can my heart not go out to those in confusion who suffer hurting and being hurt? But it reaches out in willingness for life. In this call, I learn a better way.

The basis of loving relationships is an integrity or wholeness of being, but our society and education rarely uncovers such to ourselves - and if anything - tends to a subtle reinforcement of self-lack, inadequacy and powerlessness - and a consequent drive to an imaginitive reparation in terms of a private ego.; to become in some way respected, powerful, significant, validated.

From such a distorted sense of oneself, hurt, shame and hatred arise, and the mind in such pain seeks to offset or mitigate its dis-ease upon scapegoats; the use of others as supporting roles in anunrecognized and therefore unhealed insanity.

The nature of the mind is that what it extends or expresses, it validates to itself - and when it finds a mutual agreement with other minds it trades such a sense of validation as if it were real. Yet using others to get a private sense of self-validation is not love and no real realationship is present.

Awakening to our essential integrity is not about winning justice and validating our victimhood, but is opening to a deep honesty of being in which we no longer impose our story upon events and demand life support our story - but we see our story and we feel our feelings without shame or judgement - so as to let ourselves into the presence of 'being': - the silence of willingness to listen and learn anew for direction and the unwillingness to act out from, nurture, protect or grow - the life undermining scripts that never bring fulfillment or joy but always poison or deny us.

The fears in our hearts are fundamental - not to our being - but to our sense of ourselves in the world. So much so, that our sense of the world is a shifting insecurity, weak, undependable, hostile. We forget that what we give out is what we share - and we see enemies everywhere.

Love says “No!” from an awakened faith in wholeness. The way in which that is expressed will find its appropriate expression - but the what of it is an integrity of being that truly serves the whole world - and establishes conditions of restraint, unavaillability and true education.

A true education is healing or wholing - and yet it is the demonstration of such integrity that teaches - and not the ideas alone.

The mind that acts as if outside the heart is lawlessness. If it is put out on others it cannot be recognised - for there is a false love in seeing the wrongdoer and feeling right that deceives us. Still the mind and listen in the true heart . Such an Intimacy of Being is With us all. Yet the abuse and violence in our world out-pictures a scenario within our minds in which we hold to a willfulness of thought and intent that cuts off, denies and distorts our own heart .

This is not a call to be sinful - but a call for immediate healing. Do not love the voice that tells you that you are unworthy of love’s presence.

Give it your disregard.

Attend to the living.

Share life.

Papal visit: Cardinal Newman's 'miracle cure'

The attribution of miracles to an act of God or intercession by another so as to bring about an act of God is an attempt to describe the experience of being healed from within.

"Suddenly I felt an intense heat, like an oven blast, and a strong tingling sensation throughout my whole body," he said. "I felt an indescribable sense of joy and peace, and was totally transfixed by what I believed to be God's presence. When I became aware of what was happening around me I was standing upright and I exclaimed to the nurse that I felt no more pain." ~ Jack Sullivan

Significant to such experience is the indescribable joy and peace. Though ineffable, it is an experience of certainty - but not at the level of intellect. That certainty might later be expressed as belief in God - for it is clearly not one’s own or another’s achievement - and witnesses to a level or directness of Being that has no counterpart in the realm of the world or self as we otherwise judge it to be.

If it can be understood that a prior distorting adustment operates within the mind at a fundamental level and results in an experience that overlays and obscures truth, then it follows that to cease applying such an adjustment allows the original to shine through.

However this adjustment itself leads to a false sense of self and world, that does not know itself one with indescribable joy and peace - but is a state of conflicted identification, thought and desire. The experience of a dissonant sense of reality becomes a struggle of opposition and limitation that is reflected in such experience as dysfunction, sickness, conflict and death.

Just as machines now can be programmed and then adjust their own programming according to conditions met, so does the mind 'lock itself' into experience by interpretation based on beliefs applied from a past mis-take; from a faulty or incomplete apprehension of reality.

Prayer does not reach a God made in our image - who may or may not - (or can or can not)  - then act. Prayer is the true communication in the heart that allows communion to be restored to awareness. Within a restored ‘channel’ of communication, guidance and teaching occurs that serves to heal or whole the mind that has identified with limitation - as willingness is given to accept Universal Will in release of a personal or private will.

Reality is indescribable, and its unified wholeness is lost to any mind that prefers to engage the act of definition. The operation of private will is a freedom within the mind - but it is a way of using fantasy to perceive reality differently than as it is. It is important to remember that reality as it is - is never affected by fantasy and never can be. This is a fundemental principle underlying the miracle - which merely undoes a distortion that - though experienced as real - was never true.

The complexity and ingenuity of the confusion whereby we are deceived as to what is true and what is false should not be underestimated, but it has been established within the mind in its experience of fragmentation and division, upon a false premise over a very long period of time. Likewise, the acceptance of its undoing is a guided step by step process of understanding, willingness and acceptance.

The witness of healing is for the minds that are open to it - not as a spectacle to induce belief - but as a living and communicating testament to the faith that questions or challenges experience and opens the heart to enquire directly of its truth. The outer forms that may or may not be associated with this are not the active principle.

The mystery of our heart’s truth is not a challenge to be explained or to conquer - but is the wonder and unspeakable grace of love. Such love is not the domain of another world or a god elsewhere - but is the always present truth of being itself - of which we cannot in truth separate from - no matter how hellish any experience we might suffer in confusion.

The willingness to serve the awakening is a willingness to live from the basis of a revealed love - but not merely to mimic truths or teachings. Nothing is revealed to a mind that already believes in its own thoughts except that which validates itself. In this sense beliefs themselves are to be re-evaluated such that those which serve as stepping stones are used and perhaps later outgrown - while those that merely block, are rendered useless or of no value.

It is altogether understandable and appropriate that in great need, we turn out from our own self-certainties and ask or open to a greater dimension of being than that to which to which we are identified and accustomed to. But is it not a careless indulgence that waits on dire crisis to value connection with and renewal in - the joy, peace and integrity of Being Itself?

Confusion is in our mind when we take our self image and act out from that in attempt to become good, wise or well. When the mind becomes open enough to become aware of and responsible for its own liability to limit itself - it turns to the heart by becoming quiet and listening - and then trusting the guidance and direction that is discerned or felt as a result of bringing attention presently to rest.

The story of Jesus is a living Symbol in the mind for the way of discovering “the Father’s Will” within. It is not for or from any kingdom in 'this world’ of 'competing wills'. It is for the Light in you to awaken from what you thought you were and what you think everything is. This is not a process of destruction or judgement - but of discovering friend or brother where enemy or fool seemed to be. Of suddenly seeing from an inclusive perspective in which all that was helpful in your thought is retained and consolidated - while that which was erroneous has simply fallen away. When this shift occurs, it may be accompanied by tangible and demonstrable events or healing - for the world experience is ultimately a reflection of thought though not merely of the surface chatter that is humanly taken to be thought.

Man is not the center of the Universe. But ‘within’ man - or prior to the consciousness that identifies itself separated or orphaned - is Awareness - that is both Universal and local and yet is Indivisible.
In this sense Mind Is the active Principle, Law, Nature and Substance of All - including the tangibility of the Universe. But beware - for what we habitually refer to as 'mind' is twice removed from the direct Process or Movement of Be ing that Awareness is one with.

Yet mind is and can never itself be limited or fixed by the thought that is its expression - and through which it knows itself existing. Thoughts of exclusion, division, limitation and blame are not truly creative but only serve to perpetuate an experience of guilt, exclusion, isolation, opposition, scarcity and fear. To such a mindset, everything is misinterpreted. The discovery that one was wrong, helpless, in need, or un-sane - is the moment where the veil is thinnest - and a little willingness can grow to reveal itself as the prayer of the heart.

It is always possible to discern the difference between the call of love for love, and the demands of self-illusion for a ‘special’ love. But only as we ourselves are willing to value truth above the self-image that uses the forms, images or symbols of truth to make its own meanings.

Grief - 2

It is common for another to say they are sorry for our suffering even when it is not any of their doing. Offering a 'touch' to a sense of one we perceive as hurt. I welcome the touch. I feel the hurt - but I don't seek to soothe it - but rather allow it to rest in me as one with my love. And as such it isn't hurt.

One of the things that came up strong in me while in grief was how others projected their stuff onto me and then acted out their fantasy on me - with expectations that I fit their needs.

Whilst it was easy if I paused, to understand the self defence mechanism at work I none the less felt at times outraged or completely unrelated with. In the former is my unmet desire or need for love - albeit in terms I can accept and understand - and in the latter is a true insight into the surface meaninglessness of much of what passes as currency as human relationship.

We are so unseen in this life - but then are we not ourselves likewise so often too 'busy' to notice and discern each other - until suddenly we cant find each other! We deprive ourselves of love.

I don't believe love is involved in struggle - but when we calm of our preoccupation in struggle, love's nature rises of itself - as the simple truth. And eventually we accept and align with the simple truth rather than fight with reality. At least to find the next step.

But all of us together - humanly - try to 'make a self' in a world that does not and can not last - and do so in ignorance of the love that we are. Searching for our own meanings in shifting and conflicting conditions. 

When love finds its name written in our hearts - we begin to look out upon a different world - from a fresh perspective. Love’s loss - lived humanly - re opened me to love - because it is the loss that I would lose and the love that I will cleave to. 

There is much confusion in the human heart to be healed and this can only come one willing step at a time. We generally don't like living in or through the territory of raw exposure and seek to cover it with a regained sense of self. 

It took me three years or so before I freely came to a sense of willingness to move on. Until I felt it, I trusted myself to be as I was moved to be. I also lost my marriage at the same time. I knew it in my heart - but couldn't let that come out - that took many years of pain and in many ways is a kind of grief that is hard to speak of - losing a beloved one while they are alive.

I wore myself out going round and round the same thoughts, over and over. Seeking love where it was not.

I sense somewhere that that was the point - for me to live this and be changed by having lived so.

All things are known in silence. A fullness that cannot be found from within the noise.

I don't say this as any kind of answer - but simply as a possible direction.

To live each day - to live this day - from even a little willingness for the heart’s blessing to abide and share.

When we neglect or forget to love, we starve ourselves of life.

Grief

June 29, 2010 at 4:53 am

I lost my 16 year old first born daughter to suicide. 15 years ago.
Loss has come up sharply as a fundamental thread of what I call ‘my life’.
I grieved my daughter – but I was also grieving ‘my life’.
The heart opens in ways that the mind cannot long abide – and yet the story of the mind is not the purity of the loving.
I associate the loving with Soul.
The Soul of me opened through FEELING the love – but the mind subverted that purity by asserting its story – and grabbing my attention in ways I couldn’t altogether be free of.
I didn’t fight anything during the grief – I don’t find fighting to be a way of peace.
Our minds are so entrenched – so in the grip of a willfulness to make sense of everything so that I GET what I need.
But despite the fearfulness of that sort of survival intent, love arose within my life and undid me of my grip.

I might seem whacky – but I feel to discern the gift no matter what the appearance. At least, there is a love of truth in me that prompts and uncovers this willingness in me despite experience of unspeakable hurt.

For a long while the world was simply the footprint of where she had walked. The absence of her light and being. And I had to do whatever I felt I had to do – or leave undone.

I had to let love touch me deeper than I had ever allowed anyone or anything to touch me. Words aren’t going to say much now – I’m not going to be able to say.

We put our love outside ourself and do not recognize where it really is. But you are the love – and the giving is the way you remember. Screaming and stuff can be an act of self love – for if something doesn’t release that limits us unbearably – we need to find any way to find the flow – the being – the life.

It is here – always. I forget this a lot – but I remember it more.
My mind seems to be designed to protect me from sharing love – but I don’t regard that as the truth or nature of Mind itself – but as a sort of complex story of me that once seemed so real and now really doesn’t speak for the love and life I feel graced to share – (yet still have the temptation to usurp or lose by following my own thinking-mind instead of listening in the heart).

I am glad to feel your presence- though a shared sense of loss has touched us both.

In Peace

Perspectives on health

Perspectives on health - comments to Guardian online

A comment offered into the comment section of this page entitled '

Homeopathy doesn't work. But are the claims for other medicines any better?'

The article relates to a campaign against homeopathy, and a broader take on the whole pharmaceutical industry.

I have found it interesting to read some of this thread.
I see apparently conflicted perspectives many of which 'need' each other or have value only in reaction to the other.
I see ill health as being of a similar conflicted nature and many current efforts to 'cure' (or these days 'manage symptoms'), are interventions of force applied to specifically identified cause and effect aspects of the living system as they are currently believed to work from the view of analysis and study of mechanical relationships.
I am more attracted to focus on health than on sickness - particularly as a participant in a living relationship. I invite looking at the context within which we are operating. Why? Because to seek externally for answers to a conflict that is ultimately within us - is delusional.
I do feel we need stepping stones in the process of releasing a mentality of control, usurpation and denial - that is evident as the egocentricity of human arrogance expressed as independent will. For where our faith is given - so must we believe.
There are those who wish to manually control life - and seeming for a while to succeed, but only create more problems. Thus there are also those who are recognising a need to co-operate with life. And there are some who come to recognise life as unified being whose shared power is accessed by the act of extending intimate trust.
The effect of fear is fragmented - and loveless perception. But no matter how many engage it and act it out on each other, our bodies or on our planet - the underlying or innate unified unconflicted nature of life at its source remains accessible via trust. There's no ego in this, no market, no self gain to be gotten, no interest from those who are intent on life as they define it to be either. But there is an awakening as if from a mad dream. And life - while not really definable - is known and shared in joy, peace and love in all its nuance of expression. The devil is the reflection of our shadow self. To fight it is to feed it.
Anything that serves to enlighten our heart and mind helps dispel ignorance - but nothing is so ignorant as human thought worshipped as truth.

Comment to me:

Does that mean we can ignore the the rest of that incomprehensible post?

My further posting:

It would seem that in your case it does.

      But consider the admittedly absurd principle that a self can attack itself - this is already true of many medical conditions as well as many 'cures' that cause harm.

      Amongst other things, I am suggesting that the sense of 'self' that is generally acted out from - is of a false and ignorant nature that is pervasively undermining of the health of the body, our relationships and society, our environment and world - and our joy in life.

      Now that last one to agree with that will be anyone committed to identifying and acting such a self. But not everyone reading here is locked into believing that they - or reality - is as they think it is.

      As for trials of homepathy - I don't see how it can be done - any more than non violence could be lab-tested as a strategy in a conflict. It isn't the application of an external - but the activation of a process. If there is a measurable potency to homeopathic medicine then I am not aware of anything that can measure it yet - excepting a resonant patient.
      Homepathy is one approach among many that is seeking to work with the Life force - by whatever name - towards restoring health. Mental obsessives may not feel the life force because their sense of judgement and control is more important to them. But they still live by it, in it and are expressions of it.

      Human thought? - yes ok, point taken. Wisdom can express through human thought but I see it as a process of discernment - so that it is of the nature of a present gift rather than a process of computation based on interpretations of past data.
