Shock, disgust and anger

Life in a Modern-day Debt Colony: The Truth about Greece
by Michael Nevradakis



I recommend at least considering the article linked above for a perspective on Greece, the EU and a masked agenda that is working by design - and not one of encountering accidents or errors of negligence.


My input is into the article and shared commentary but placed it in the context of the last few words of  elentis who ended his post with:

...We must dare to finally speak the UnSpeakable and do this loudly and backed up by research. At least our fellow Europeans, the majority not in the feeding trough, deserve clear and true information. Believe me, the result of this information is disgust. Shock and disgust – and anger.

My comment:

"Shock and disgust – and anger".

These feelings are unlidded (within us) by events. All of us carry the lid of social civility that generates a mask of personae under which is the attempt to coerce outcomes in alignment with (at least temporarily) escaping or delaying the shock of a broken identity in self and world; the disgust of (and at) the hatred that is thus exposed in the raw, and the survival sense that denies and projects hatred to instead focus almost exclusively in a relative self-righteous justifiction - in which hate of OTHER is seen as absolutely justified and therefore replaces the love that is denied within the hurtred of hate and rage. And so we 'love' to hate and hate to love - for hate has made of love a victim - an invalidity - an un-reality.

I have attempted to sketch something of the imprinting of the human conditioning that 'sets' the human condition unless we feel through it to an expanded acceptance of embrace and perspective.

The hate that embodies an anti-Life globalism, hates the Life that - in its experience - failed it. There are different facets of separation trauma - but we all share in and embody such archetypes that are locked in polarized conflict of 'divide to rule' or indeed to rule out what we cannot bear or tolerate.

There can be no relationship or communication to a mind exclusively identified in vengeance or in terror. But only what is believed to be necessary and justified deceit and coercion - in the framing of the goal of power from which all else derives whatever use or meaning it is allowed to have. Power operates a false sense of protection - or rather a protection of an incomplete sense of self falsely asserted as an exclusive and authoritative power over its own experience.

And so terrorism - whether masked or in the raw, operates the act of the hate upon its own - as a coercive conformity to asserted and imposed 'idea' under which, the living will - the freedom to feel and move as one's being - is sacrificed and denied. The illusion of power 'paints itself into a corner' as checkmate! But the board is a two dimensional representation of a polarized oppositional identity.

If the illusion of power is unsurprisingly self-defeating - does it not invoke curiosity as to the true nature of power - or perhaps there is no term for it in a world so long entrained and enchained to darkness in which NOT being hit can seem like love.

When our hated, feared or denied feeling finds acceptance in the movement of its being - without being given reactive access to trigger harm to self and others, then a fresh take can replace a mis-take and a quality of compassion within ourselves can automatically and naturally recognize opportunities and willingness for communication and relationship hitherto unseen or discarded - in which the power of true presence is extended and honoured in place of a 'relational usury' that seeks to 'get validation from others' by offering a false presentation as substitute for the power it believes lost - and so does not rest in and share.

The inner recognition is not a strategy or replacement for integrity in relationship - but a questioning and opening of foundations so as to truly know and align in purpose - rather than be-guiled within evasions that feel justifiably compelling and necessary.

Is not tragi-comedy a gift of cultural inheritance from early Greek culture? Using the reflection to uncover recognition in which what seemed exclusive polarities are both owned - and instead of an overwhelm, we open the freedom to focus differently - to accept a different choice than a split compulsion.

How anything 'works out' is beyond me - excepting that what I write here has relevance to living a good step - from which a fresh perspective opens its own good or recognized guidance. This is so 'different' as to seem too difficult or indeed daft. But questioning our foundations in desire for true being is not in order to get a better handle on power and protection in the frame of the 'world' - but to receive and thus bring forth a 'different' world from what separation trauma painted and defended as our life.

Illuminating the 'checkmate' of a 'victory' by which life is made hollow and meaningless is part of growing willingness and desire for Life and for truth that is truly receptive and not pre-loaded with demands and conditions.

Our original nature can be covered over and denied - yet must first BE that denial can seem to operate a replacement. Denial is a part of focusing - but we do not have to hate or demonize the choice that does not resonate with who we truly feel and know or even prefer ourself to be - in order to live that freedom and learn of it freely. A coerced or conformed choice is no freedom to feel and learn and grow. The old world order replicates itself over and again as the dictate of a seeming 'separate' mentality - presented as if normal and self-evident - yet predicated on hate and fear and locked in by guilt.

I have only the English translation of the adaptation of Arnisi - used by Theodorakis in Sto Periagiali - I sign off with it in solidarity with and gratitude for an awakening Humanity.

Sto Periagli (Mikis Theodorakis) Based on (Arnisi) DENIAL by Giorgos Seferis

On the secret seashore, white like a pigeon (dove?),
we thirsted at noon, but the water was brackish.
On the golden sand, we wrote her name, but the sea-breeze blew and the writing vanished.
With what spirit, what heart, what desire and passion we lived our life:
a mistake! So we changed our life

[English trans : Edmund Keeley and Phillip Sherrard]

I’m sorry, but the Stasi were there to protect East Germans from the horrors inflicted on Greece.

My reply:

I feel you are mistaken. The apparatus of Soviet state control - extending to making everyone a spy on everyone else - may have been initially 'justified' in terms of protecting against foreign terror threat - but operated to consolidate a power elite who masked in a 'collectivist' appeal at expense of the quality of Life shared - excepting of course, within the conformity of the official dictate.

The identifiction of 'sides' is unaware that deceit works both or all sides of opportune or manufactured conflict to influence outcomes in its favour, without seeming to play much part - except perhaps as saviour.

 I am not suggesting that protection is not required against deceits that carry heavy consequence - but that the very quick minded position themselves 'upstream' of events so as to operate 'insider' leverage by which they become defacto 'elites' making the decisions that frame 'the lives of others' who have little or no awareness of what is in fact going on beneath appearances - excepting they feel denied of their core humanity by a tyrannous dictate - but induced to blame and inflame their own divisions.

Likewise western 'intelligence' gathering is used for corporate/political advantage in globalist power struggle even though it was ostensibly to protect against the 'bad guys'. Corporate or mercantile power tends to be one foot (or many) in front of the attempt to check and balance it - but it is the consolidation of power that operates - for when transnational corporations have served their nation-destroying role, they too will be relived of any temptation towards undue influence or threat to the power dictate.

However, without the belief in the evil enemy - such society cannot remain ordered - for the inner conflicted purposes that are 'unified and displaced' by the dictate of centralised power rise up as a creative chaos through which a different way of living starts to come into focus than coercion and deceit.

However, I note that the terror that external power was supposed to hide or protect us from is leaking out everywhere now - so a 'creative chaos' might be the only option left. The creative is of course what we bring as presence to that which we find disturbing or unsettling. If we only fixate in anti-evil identities we let ourselves be defined over and against the thing we hate. Defined by hate is not creative freedom - even if ingeniously marketed and spun to a fear of change.

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.

EU or the real You?

Iain Duncan Smith accuses pro-EU Tories of 'smears and threats'
Work and pensions secretary says ‘desperate and unsubstantiated’ claims damage integrity of those campaigning to stay in

Part of the problem is the loss of genuine communication of ideas and feelings, for attempts to simply coerce, trick and 'win' a narrative 'victory' by deceit.

One of the things I appreciate about Corbyn - is that - regardless of whether I agree with his conclusions - he is honourable in his methods - and does not resort to the dark arts of deceit.

The loss of honour is justified by those who define what they don't want in terms of a narrative evil. In such context communication is BLOCKED and ANY means becomes justified in the 'war against .

This seems to 'work' as a way of undermining and silencing what the 'war' defines as 'oppositional' threat but which deprives everyone of their true voice by asserting a directed narrative to which one must conform. (conformist collectivism). All apparent 'sides' of such 'war' operate the same principle of competing power rather than of a desire to understand and integrate. It is a loveless and robotic 'survival' mechanism that is denying a true basis for Life on Earth to flourish and thrive.

The choice for collectivism - under ANY masking of good intentions - is a forfeit of choice - of sovereignty of human willingness - to a loveless dictate of conformity - overlaid with distractive deceits. The legally defined Corporate - and indeed corporate financial 'trading' entity has a fundamentally lawless disregard for Humanity and for Life on Earth and uses symbols and imagery of serving the same in pursuit of profit - and survival as an entity that claims rights where they block transparency and accountability - while redefining the law (revolving door/captured regulators - > TTIP etc) so as to effectively transfer any residual power of sovereign will to a collectivist State that has at best only a facade of electoral accountability and a rigged justice system.

Relationships are not JUST about what we can GET from each other or what we fear we will LOSE to others. Relationships are Communication or else they are some conditioned reaction of mutual transactional avoidance of communication. Manipulators know this well and take advantage of latent conditioned imprints to trigger reactivity that effectively denies the possibility of discerning what i fact is really going on.

The EU is not about money and 'trade' it is about Control. If you believe human beings are essentially unworthy and uneducatable then vote for the collectivist mode of imposing Control. We do hold this belief much more than we may like to think because we are so heavily invested in this attempt to Control rather than communicate - and we are loath to abandon our investment. But pouring good currency of allegiance into a bad idea has to come to a brink where the experiential recognition of wrongness breaks the pattern of conformity and support - and genuinely seek the true of what is going on and not merely seek other way to protect a bad investment. That way lies and slavery.

Creativity is inversely related to what I am using the word Control for. Of course there is a natural quality of control WITHIN the movement of desire and fulfilment in relationship - but the suppression and denial of creative freedom in Living our Humanity is not gaining 'power' it is negating our true consciousness of Life to conforming to an idea of power that is dead - and no matter how artfully or intensely the presentation of life is asserted - there is no real willingness for relationship, communication or caring - no kindness or compassion.

Of course I appeal to your core Humanity in this moment - but you have to make your choice for your reasons - and I will communicate towards making this choice a consciousness issue rather than a manipulation of conditioned reaction whereby you 'know not what your do'.

You yearn for the comfort of ideological identity but life is not really so simple a narrative. Embracing Life is embracing humanity - and there's the rub is it not?

Good intentions pave the way to hell because they offer a way to seem righteous or kind while retaining a private loveless - indeed hateful - intent. I don't address you personally in this but all of us. Fear of emotional reality makes us fodder for manipulative purveyors of directed narrative.

Whoever you are and whatever your views, if you have a willingness to speak from the heart and also listen there, then there is the basis of something much more powerful than an 'alliance around private gain' - but not a power that protects us from our true feelings - by patronizing rationalisations or suppressive denial.

I don't care whether you are a union man, on the dole or a CEO - I care that you recognize and lean into your humanity in willingness to move out of - or correct for a dis-integrity - without piling on more blame and shame.

Make your case - don't focus about what others seem to be doing.
Yes there is insanity beneath the 'normal' of social and political thought (and resultant behaviour), but if integrity means anything - it is a core sanity of being that can be uncovered, recognized, witnessed and embodied as a felt presence rather than a presentational artifice. I don't expect anyone else to be perfect but if I look FROM a willingness in myself I can discern and recognize that quality in another. If I focus on the mask in others it strengthens the same in myself - so I don't mean to be patronising here - but your clear willingness for a better world deserves joining with - and this is what came up in me to share with you.

Rabid Press v Reasoned Debate

Piers Corbyn: the other rebel in the family

"Like his brother, physicist and meteorologist Piers Corbyn is a man of revolutionary zeal. His own battle, however, is against all this ‘climate-change nonsense’…"

I wonder how many are seeing that sober willingness to communicate contrasts with rabid hating that scarcely draws on anything except assertions - mostly of smear and ridicule - and 'questioning' ONLY for the purpose of seeking an opportunity to invalidate or 'listening' ONLY seeking ammunition by using anything said against him.

One does not need a scientific study here to see that a lack of substance has to seem to be real by contrast to a seeming power to defeat or invalidate any other voice.

Whilst I see that Piers earns money from selling his weather services to those who value them, and does independent scientific research, I also see that he is not a corporate puppet serving up hate. One may wonder what is SO hateful or fearful in a human being who is acting in their integrity. Perhaps it is simply because doing so contrasts the LACK of integrity in the attempt to script reality and scam the population into a state of powerlessness.

The need I see is not carbon austerity (but yes to an overall policy of holding to account for toxicity of pollution and bio-destruction of all kinds - particularly bu international cartels). The need I see is for discernment of what is actually being enacted by the FORM of communication or the FORMS of scientific credibility in the manner of trojan horse or toxic payload. Because honest people do not need to resort to dirty tricks and dark arts of deceit to further an agenda that is part of a re integrative or healing intent. the science is NOT settled and the attempt to coerce the narrative in any direction is NOT any kind of science but a common trick of corporate cartel interest.

While corporations are defined with human rights without human responsibilities, their legally defined mandate is to strip the Earth and deny or overturn any checks and limits to their power to do so. of course the Central Banking system could pull them in and limit their power - but then they haven't broken down the last vestiges of sovereign free will yet. Wherefore such deep and bitter hatred of Humanity? Of Life Itself? Are babies born hating or is it all a matter of being conditioned by trauma? We hate pain of loss of love and of conflicted self, and seek to dump it somewhere to feel less bad - and so are attracted to 'power' that promises to help us feel less terrified and more powerful. Hows it going?

The Corbyn earthquake?

 The Corbyn earthquake – how Labour was shaken to its foundations


Whilst there is a human capacity to make mistakes, (and learn from them), the humanity exemplified simply by the demeanour of Jeremy Corbyn contrasts sharply with the spin doctored bids for power that are not in touch with nor advocacy for People - in most politicians and indeed many operating in positions of leadership and trust in our society.
The media do not report on the shadow power operating 'behind the throne' of the appearance of power. Partly because it is a negative self interest at work that is believed to offer protection and security - but always of a personal or personal group or cartel of interest and not as a whole.
And so there is pervasive corruption of many kinds of dis-integrity that holds us in rigidities and resistances to needed change, as well as the more obvious corruptions of a personal opportunism - including the largely corporate willingness to profit from the supply of sickness, destruction and misery. Few can begin to articulate what they feel or sense to be unreal or deceptive - but lack of engagement in politics is an indication of a sense of distrust and futility. I do not pretend or expect Jeremy Corbyn to 'solve' our problems - but I do see him as a public example of willingness to serve Humanity - and not an idealogical blindness of self-righteous hunger for power - not the bankrupt and visionless puppets of financial, international and corporate lobbies that merely seek their own survival and prevalence over what they see as obstruction to their growth - without any genuine connection with true human value.
Humanity is at stake in the old paradigm of corrupt financial systems, unchecked and runaway power in international corporations and cartels of interest, along with capture of regulatory institutions and indeed the mainstream media.
A movement FOR humanity is a cross party and indeed a trans-party movement founded in a willingness to truly communicate. THAT is a foundation which is lost to the willingness to deceive in order to coerce apparently desirable outcomes.
The nature of what can be addressed and to what degree is not the power of any man or woman - but of a collective willingness - which is also the willingness to identify our individuality with a Humanity that is greater than the sum of its parts.
A FALSE imposition upon the nature of who we truly are, cracks - and light gets in. Not the false Obama decoy of a presentation of hope as yet another persistence of the same governance under a different disguise - but someone who is not seduced and corrupted by the lure or baiting traps of power. I have little doubt but that he will be subjected to every kind of baiting and inducement by those who fear change that aligns Humanity but threatens their sense of power and privilege - but whoever we may believe ourself to be, our humanity is not something that can be bought or protected by what money can buy. True worth is pre-money and our society needs to align with reality - and not the asserted realities of fearfully exploitative coercive agenda - dressed up to seem acceptable to a medicated and managed population. Thankyou for your attention.

Corbyn - a movement of humanity?

Corbyn's policies are much more popular than the press hyenas would ever dare to admit


This article in Herald Scotland amidst a rabid press attracted my attention and led to the following comment:



There is a deeper choice I see in supporting Mr Corbyn - as a politician expected to work in due political process with others to serve the greater good.
This is his humanity - and his advocacy of humanity.

He stands out from the plastic mouthpieces of perceived or pursued power - because he stand in his own presence rather than sacrifice that to a presentation.

That he stands amidst the scapegoating and smearing being directed is testimony of a different kind of experience than the 'cut and thrust of politics'.
Is it possible or conceivable for honesty in political relationship?

Or do we persist in the deceits of feeding into the news speak narrative anything to medicate, manipulate or manage the schism between what we are really up to and what we allow to be known.

That Mr Corbyn has a very challenging task as labour leader - that would be much more challenging as Prime Minister - is not the issue - but while he is the elected representative leader of the Labour Party, the issues and conversations he raises cannot be entirely denied.

The behaviour and function of the mainstream media is being exposed as a more sophisticated version of propaganda for a cartel interest that predates upon humanity rather than serving its good - whilst drawing allegiance from many who are induced to believe they are serving the good of the nation and of humanity - when in fact they are seduced by clever manipulation of their own unowned guilt and fears.

The movement for humanity could be a cross platform alliance - for whatever our points of emphasis, they all need to find balance - or war is the result. Managed war has been the undercurrent to political action for a long time - with the overlay of a propaganda of justifictions and diversionary denials.

The movement for humanity emerges from the refusal to participate in in-humanity or dis-integrity - no matter how cunningly spun or laden with inducements of protection or fear.

Whether My Corbyn, 'survives' politically or otherwise, is not the issue. The issue is a movement of and for humanity.

Of course many mouth the mouth of persuasive appeal with warnings that stir old fears and invoke old allegiances. And many cannot tell the difference between a coercive intent and an extended communication. But life - while it is ours - is an education - and a privilege to share.
