Individual Globalism

Globalist peril vs. The Individual
By Jon Rappoport
Jon writes toward opening a free imaginative individuality instead of succumbing to a global collectivism. I join in his theme in my own way.




 I share the underlying concern but look for the core pattern to emerge from any disguises or trappings in which it has been set. In this sense trappings is an apt term for the result of masking or hiding the patterns of consciousness in terms of conflict, fear and blame is a kind of mind-trap that thought only winds up or reinforces, in its attempt to think itself out and force-identify such thinking as if it promises freedom.


 My individuality IS my relationship with you - at least it is never found where my relationship with you is invalidated or denied. That does not dictate the form and flavour of how I choose or accept myself to be with you. But I am ALWAYS in relation to something while I have any awareness of existence at all, and how I choose to accept myself in definition to each and any event or relationship is how I define and create my experience of myself in 'the world' of relation.


 One-ness can only experience itself through relation and in this sense are you 'brother' to me - though I don't have a non-gender term for sharing the same Source. The capacity to recognize Self or Life in each other is our core or original Communication or Mind - yet we clearly have also a capacity to perceive a stranger in hateful or loveless terms of fear and threat and distrust. Once the identity is set in conflict, it is defended and protected from Communication and a reversal of the law of love operates in the minds of those who play out the roles of hate and blame, fear and pain.


 This reversal is a false foundation - yet from it is Everything filtered and distorted to serve or reflect an alloyed purpose of love and hate that co-fuse together until the loving to hate in blame joins with the hating to love, in pride or shame to set the polarities of a false and shifting sense of life and self in terms of good v evil. This narrative is the fight or flight mind that has a place in physical reality to move you when your mind is not available in time to react. But it is not the true or free basis of Life on Earth even if it is being given that place by our collective individual acts of alignment within it or from it.


 Creation of Unfolding sharing Experience is Free Imagination - along the lines of any meanings and values accepted and thus creatively engaged in for your sharing - for your life is a sharing - not a 'thing' unto itself nor unto some Objective Thing by which to validate or justify such a self.


 But the sharing is of a vibrational resonance that communicates itself through everything you accept for you, feel the nature of and think and act from. It is not a division of 'stuff' that diminishes as it is shared or an experience of sacrifice or loss of Life or Self in sharing - but rather the re-membering and re-minding of who and what you truly are. Being yourself - in forms of experience - is served by the contrast with what you are not. There is no necessary or inherent conflict in choosing what you want - or feel your true alignment with - unless you give a negative or fear-charged and invalidating meaning of rejection to what you are not choosing in this moment, in this life, to be the idea in expression of.


 Power-struggle is always first within your accepted definition of Self. A reflection of conflicted experience is the feedback by which to address definitions that are out of alignment with who you feel and know yourself to be. Fear of wanting what we want can seek power by using others as excuses or justifications for not being simply and directly open - and we communicate hidden agenda no matter how ell we mask our presentations to ourself and to each other.


 Truing up is not 'resisting evil' or 'saving the world' but it will leave less and less room for the reversals of thought that give rise to negative or fear and guilt-based experience - to manifest as your world. For the knowingly denied misalignments of Self are felt as self-betrayals, not as suffering at the hands of another.

 In all of this I appreciate that we do have practical communications within the experience of conflicted relationships, breakdowns of communication and emotional confusion that still have to be addressed wisely or otherwise - as wisdom is allowed into expression.

 Insofar as we have duty of honouring to the meanings and values that our true relationships are embodiments of - we have chosen this life regardless our mind may assert an emotionally forceful narrative to the contrary. Awakening true responsibility for our life - for our own unfolding experience of existence - as a sharing that is operating through us whether we know it or not - is our alpha and omega. To arrive at our beginning and know it for the first time... is our Divine Inheritance - as implied in 'Behold I make all things new!' You don't have to accept any baggage with this meaning - for it is not more or less than a fresh perspective.


 Freedom is firstly a matter of perspective arising from actively accepted definition. The 'mind-trap' is a story that seems to demand you listen to its some more. But it is up to you where you give your attention. The yielding of our thought in pause to a true receptivity of being is simply 'checking in' with Source. To NOT do this as the natural response to the Gift of Experiencing Existence is a result of becoming a stranger to your Self.

 Global Consciousness is not the result of power struggle but rises in return to our awareness from of release of the conflicted foundation - as a yielding in open willingness for the guidance and support of knowing your right place or right timing in true relation within Earth Consciousness.


 To live this Experience is not merely to dream a life in concept. "Concept" carpets, curtains and blinds - as a fixed state of no real relational experience at all. It is the polarity of 'forgetting' the Movement of being as a result of identifying in form. Living Idea is much more of a dance in which the Universe joins in. Smile and the world smile's with you - because your world is a vibrational reality to which you are tuned to share. But watch the mind of mimicry that learns to 'smile' as if to get something for itself alone. No guilt or blame. Just watch it when you notice it in-act. The false falls away of itself when you do not recognize yourself in it.

 Framing ourself in terms of fear is a false conviction. But denying the witnesses to undercurrent fears that conflict our lives until they are resolved or undone is no less false.

 True and false is a matter of moment by moment discernment - as a result of checking in. Because the forms of things do not equate their true meanings - and whatever stories we are participating in are for our own reasons - regardless what others choose to see in us.

 I am attracted to the stories of awakening from ancient hate to a present loving and of course I have no power to live anyone else's life even if I had any room in mine to consider doing so. The words may be unrealistically idealistic - but a present loving is an unconditional acceptance of who I am experiencing myself - with you - to be right here and now. And like a smile, I cannot DO this by or for myself alone - but something rises spontaneously from the heart as a wholeness of being that goes forth without making demand on another, or a world, to conform or fit my demand or expectation. OR I am attending to such stories in place of embracing the moment as it is.

 The truly global or Universal, is the extension or sharing of the true individual. If you set this in the 'future' then a fleeting moment is all that you have as it is sacrificed to a past made in anger. Yet the moment expands as you open to it. Eternity is hidden in plain sight, and yet time can be used to restore its awareness as our own. There is a choice here on Earth as to whether we each want to embrace Life or not  - and I mean the Movement of a relational transformative journey in being that some part of us felt called in or we would not be here at all. Heartbreak must yield to wholeness of being of a greater perspective - or it 'chooses' the idolisation of a fixed 'perspective' in which Life is not welcome. The reaction to error persists it. We have to learn to recognize it in ourself and live from a true willingness if we want freedom from the strange fruit of a false identity.

The Collective Experiment is Earth



The Collective Experiment on Earth

#1 Overlooking Individual Experience within a limited concept of individuality:

"The individual has been overlooked".

This is only believable and experience-able within a collectivist redefinition of individuality.

Individuality is not a body OR a mind OR feelings - but the balanced embrace AND transcendence of an Indivisibility.

Running a COPY in concept-mind opens to the warring of conflicting concepts in division - and all the experience of such a focus with limiting definition. But a definition is never the Thing Itself - which remains indivisible - regardless the or perspective that any definition opens as experience.

All thinking is in the terms and the nature of its foundation. We seem to have two foundations competing: one is self-concept and the other is a prior quality or integrity of being that operates the reintegration of self identification within concept to an expansion of Re-Cognition and Re-membering. Looking for this in the 'world' is reinforcing the belief it is not already true of You.

Getting your head around this is the wrong direction excepting to realize the call to deeply and truly release the attempt to get ahead of yourself - which is the belief or fear in a sense of lack or loss or a missed appointment.

What is the 'problem' is a unique opportunity for me to recognize something in myself that is out of true in my beliefs about my self, my mind, my world?

When painted into a corner, the only direction left is Consciousness itself. Not in concept - but energetically - for we are already being 'lived and breathed' not by 'Other' but by an Individuality that has been overlooked, redefined, ad actively denied - and even 'crucified' - that is - reviled and hated and 'killed'.

Symbol is a living focusing Idea, but once idolized in place of the Living, degenerates to concept. "Concept Floors Carpets and Blinds" as a shop sign in my locality announces. But that is not a call for anti concept - but for a shift upstream to a Living Perspective. Capital letters - like any other conceptual language can only 'point' to what is currently being overlooked - until the distractive fascination fades to allow awareness to rise to consciousness - though really it is the other way around.

Is the whole 'matrix-illusion' idea just another clever way to stay focused in struggle so as to keep the 'warrior' in righteous self-employ? Yes and No. Because it is always our choice as to what purpose we use anything for - and while we focus on what everyone ELSE is thinking or doing - we overlook our Individuality. But we have not 'left or lost' it - we are choosing to focus in and act out from an idea in which lack and loss are inherent.

When something communicates this sense of lack and division, there is always something needy, coercive and artfully contrived to persuade or appeal. One does not need a process in logic once one is aligned in wholeness - but the mimicry of the self-in-concept can seem to be unquestionably right when it is mistaken. Better to know the full feeling of relaxed and open communication that tells you you are truly present than ideas of right and wrong. What is true for us in any given moment is the discernment of an outcome of a balanced appreciation. Inner undefendedness in honesty of being automatically aligns what is needed in imagination, synchronicity and feedback as an unfolding communication of Individualty within Wholeness. For the One is in All as All are in One. Self-specialness is no less so in negative terms - and always segregates the self-sense from the Relational Richness of the Whole.

I only meant to add the first paras - but my interest and aliveness in such consideration is where I find a 're-cognition and re-membering' that transfers to washing dishes and perhaps more deeply - embracing the 'negative' states within a truly felt willingness - without coercion that insists or demands they change - in order to find validation or validate my world-view. I feel this to be an active release of self-judged invalidity - regardless of its social or collective reinforcements.

Truth rises of itself unless something else is actively pushing it down - including the clever attempt to 'fight its cause'.

#2 Reclaiming Sovereignty of free willingness:

Perhaps... you are painted into a corner because you don't yet see you are in the version of Earth that corresponds exactly to the vibrational frequency of your thought - and that Infinity includes all versions or parallel realities of everything imaginable - but that your unique 'experiment/exploratory themes' will always align you in those that serve the purpose you are currently being served in.
What is the purpose that aligns your thought and desire? Is it truly aligned with who you feel and know yourself to be? Or is it conflicted and self-limiting and dense in its openness to communication and therefore heavy and dark? Look to your world and to your feeling for your brother and know by your fruits what you are holding within your current definitions or it could not manifest in and as your experience. No blame here - simply idea out of true with who you prefer to be. So instead of wresting, struggling and getting frustrated with the reflection. Use it to correct your own creative alignment with being - that you cannot help or stop being - however you use that creative capacity to seem to experience yourself and your world to be. It's up to you.

That what you desire - by focussing in and bringing forth - is the simple truth, can also be hidden in the usurping or distortion of desire with fears and judgements given energy and attention as if you desired them - whereby your active desire is mow masked by a surface persona that may be completely unaware of what you are actually calling forth, by virtue of identifying in thoughts that seem to hide or protect you from a feared consequence.

Reclaiming sovereignty of will - Free Willingness - will never come from coercion or deceit - no matter HOW justified you may feel. In fact coercion and deceit comes back at you without your recognition that it is your shouting into the cave that brings back this echo.

If you keep shouting - it is because it serves your current definition of yourself or you simply would not do it. Everything is serving us each -  and as the collective shared agreement - that each always has within the Idea of themselves. there is no separation - but within the exploration of the experience of separation hell operates the agreements of lovelessness in forms that prevent waking to the communication and meaning that is always shared through forms - not AS them.

The meaning you receive from anything is all the meaning you give to it. If you try to fake yourself - that meaning will adulterate and usurp your simple honesty of self-communication and in one way or another - the waking from the faking is the world I am living right now  - and sharing with the version of you that is in this 'reality' with me. For we all communicate through inner versions of everyone and everything. There is no outside - but there is the power and the intimacy of sharing - where the meeting of two or more opens a transcendent third.

The way out of the false matrix is to recognize you are not in it - and act from that knowing - and so grow that awareness rather than lose it to the 're-assertion' of habit. The 'real world' is thus harvested from the release of the false - and reflects what is true of you - no matter what anyone else thinks or does - unless they trigger your word or judgement on yourself. That's where the issue is. Not what 'they' say - not getting their say changed in any way.

I write this here because I feel you open the space in which it can be said and considered. Resonance with who you truly are is different from reinforcement of who you are struggling to be.

The Journey is the point of Life - that is living it wholly - which is not cramming or haste but having the time you need to be who you are. Of course there is challenge in meeting the negative aspects of our consciousness. Crisis is generally how humans access the willingness to change.
Someone said: "If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done" - however - it is both and individual and a collective or relational issue as to a sense of no where else to go or the ground disappearing from beneath one's feet or a total melt-down. Everyone has a pain threshhold at which they either change or refuse to play - but that pain is not inflicted by Life on the poor individual - although that is the human narrative that masks deeper correspondences than we generally allow.

Staged individuality is a mask

Conversation in the themes raised in
The Individual vs. the Staged Collective
by Jon Rappoport



Thanks for this. Your post triggered the following - which I greatly appreciate the journey of writing.

An individual is relational being - that is integral and active within relationships including groups, family's, organisations and cultures. But the "concept" of individuality can be falsely associated with an abstracted and disconnected power to judge and exploit relationships rather than live them. A withdrawal and withholding of true presence under pretext of focusing in what is 'wrong with' the other, the situation or the self. This may disguise itself in forms of apparently positive behavioural strokes and signs by which to pass off a presentation without having to actually connect or relate.

This self-concept is a masked persona with which an individual can identify at expense of real relations and communication, and indeed is invoked or imposed upon the relationship when it is too painful, humiliating, traumatic, or unpleasant to abide or endure and so the sense of independent power is got from the denial of the relationship in which something believed loveless and threatening is being hidden or escaped. This is the basis for the 'wolf in sheep's clothing', the monsters in the 'unconscious, the 'evil within', the 'sinner', and the psychological 'disease'.

Communication breakdown is a relational split that then signifies itself in patterns of behaviour and even physical symptoms that persist until the underlying issue is resolved or re-cognized and re-intgrated to a true relational presence. But meanwhile such 'lovelessness' will spread and replicate by reaction, including being met with suppression, exclusion and denial.

Societal rules operate a 'collective' agreement "not to go there" - as a surface evasion of depth that is generally felt entangling in obligation to be who you are not or to abide what you do not want. The mask allows a temporary form of relationship in which more is unsaid than shared and which soon wears thin, leading to pressure, stress, irritability or depression.

But real relationship denotes a free or spontaneous willingness to share in the presence of life - which is a kind of dance in which we attune more deeply with that which moves us. For presence is not a ritual re-enactment of a past seeking to fill a sense of lack or right a sense of wrong.

Political diatribe conceals a personal grievance in what appeals for collective acceptance and this personifies the breakdown of communication in society writ large. The yeast spreads through the whole batch.

So reclaiming our individuality is a healing of our communication channel that has been redefined in terms of grievance, in which self-hatred always plays a part. This is firstly within our selves in relation to our inner thought, feeling and sensing. Waking up to a network of false thinking and reactive emotionality that operates a conditioned set of responses, is waking to the correction of error - in which thought, feeling and sensing, realign in unified purpose.

It doesn't matter that this awakens a quality of responsibility that seems too difficult. All that matters is the willingness to align in who you truly are and live that as best you can without judging it. The judgement or blame culture, is what is truly difficult. Enacting a 'staged individual' is the root of insanity if at expense of your true feeling being.

Attend and abide in the Living - and let the 'dead bury the dead'. Only the Living can hear this - and those at the cusp of their willingness to accept Life as it truly is. One can only raise from the dead, those who have come to recognize they do not want it, and put it behind them.

Using our perceptions and judgement as a map to our own 'unconscious' or denied mind is bringing the symptom-messengers in that we used to deny and kill... and listening in the heart - in a willingness for wholeness in balance - that is recognisably and tangibly our Life and not a deceiving mind.

Conrad says:

Yes, do indeed turn OFF the television. Stop being propagandized. But, those who venture into the woods alone get eaten. The Oligarchy doesn’t preach collectivism. The Republican party lauds the individual. They love those little guys who have bought the Trump image of the so-called entrepreneur, those who beat their little chests and proclaim they too can be a millionaire in this land of the free. Those who stand by passively as their beloved shoe factory closes up and goes off to Indonesia, How pathetic. Do we still have to explain why unions are demonized? My father worked for the newspaper industry when workers had some clout. They had worked out a modus vivendi with the industry. They were highly skilled , well paid and were respected even by management. Get this: if a worker wanted a vacation, any time, he/she put their name on a board and whoever was available could take their place for the alotted time off, and no job was lost. Business still made a huge profit, and workers lived a respectful life.
You can band with others and still be an individual. In fact, when the collapse happens, you had better get to know your neighbor. See Cluborlov dot com.

Upon re reading, I also replied:

Terms can flip. Collectivism as I take it, means the subjugation of the individual to the rights of the collective – that are defined and enshrined in law by the oiligarchy (I like that typo, so I leave it in).
Neo liberal – is anything but tolerant. Neo con is anything but conserving a Republic for and of individuals.
The tv operates an extension and reflection of ‘push thinking’ and passively received image without relational communication, so as well as pulling that plug, we can actively pull or attract what is relevant and resonant to who we are – rather than force feed some notion of who we are ‘supposed to be’.
