Logic - this is NOT that.

Logic: how to introduce it and improve mush-minds

Jon Rappoport


I felt to join in a 'conversation' with what Jon Rappoport is saying:


Logic is consistency and congruency of thought but does not provide its own basis or foundation from which to automatically proceed or unfold itself.

Such a starting point may be an assertion or stated definition or belief that can take the form of a foundation - while already being in contradiction.

"This is that" or false association is the minds capacity to imagine meanings that reflect its own wish to override, distort, exploit and re-frame Felt and Shared Relational Meaning as a sense of power to invoke a private mind-dream upon Shared Mind-Stream (Communication Itself) and reconfigure such mind in emulation to project and externalize its denials and interpret them as world to be likewise manipulated, exploited, usurped.

Imagination without integrity is conflicting purpose. Mind Itself is another term for without limit but thought that is not directly extending the Qualities of Mind is self-contradiction. The law of Mind is its unqualified nature and never in fact defined by any framing perspective within thought by which to use 'As If' to replace 'As Is'. What Is - Is and what Is, is as it is - but can be experience infinitely - which includes experiencing it as it is Not as an effect of holding focus and desire in definition that is untrue of What and Who you are as the awareness of existence; a unique expression of the movement of Being in the act of creation that is integrally part or and one with Every other likewise unique expression of Existence - within a richness or multidimensional interrelated that is both the wholeness (Non Local) AND the specific (Local) at Once - with every instant being a wholeness of integrality clearly felt and received and shared - or mis-taken within the lens of a falsely or incompletely asserted self-definition.

The ability to differentiate in thought within and seemingly from Awareness, is a power to forget, cover over or Not Know, (that you are knowing) is part of the movement of segregative consciousness. Implicit to initiating such movement is the reintegrative movement of coming back into your right (whole) Mind - as Is. The interplay of shifting focus in these apparent polarities of possibility and probability is Experience. But the nature of the Integrative movement is a higher, more embracing perspective of synchronicity... presence - as is.

'What you give out is what you get back' is also a law or unalterable nature of Mind - and regardless any form of expression, its foundation is your reflection. So it can be said as 'where you are coming from is where you are experiencing yourself to be'. Coming from or embodying an idea of conflicted self-definition must result the reflection of conflicting relation or world.

So the experiencing of a self-conflicted dissonance is a result or effect of taking a definition of self and allowing it to run instead of the Mind that is your source and nature - for your own reasons.

But the law of mind as it applies to a false foundation projects itself out as a split off logical extension of denial and denied-ness, that operate in the active but disguised suppression and avoidance of  dissonance-guilt, dissonance-terror, dissonance-rage - and so forth - so that a self-focus can be 'born' within but temporarily unconscious of a deeper imprint conditioning that generates the framing of its world or life experience.

The willingness or grace of noticing and releasing of the false is the stirring or rising of and honesty or undefended awareness of being that recognizes what it is NOT as NOT true and not available or in any sense meaningful to accept, use, focus within, value, identify with or against or persist in giving attention and investment to. The natural movement of being simply operates clearly to a free attention and is recognisably Life - not conceptualizable forms of derivative impressions and association by which to assert or claim a mind of one's own - over (any symbolic or conceptual image of) Life.

This Movement of being is the capacity of discernment - for the acceptance of what is truly resonant and relevant to who you in this instant know and feel yourself to be, illuminates all that is incongruent or dissonant to you within the light of an awareness of a relational wholeness of being - that in simple terms is the call to joy - but as the unfolding or your own unique receiving and giving of wholeness, fulfilment, appreciation, and gratitude.

The Movement of (the focus) of being within the Infinite or edgeless and open quality of wholeness is the restoring of imagination as the true expression of an integrity of embrace - and the healing of a split off sense of self-hatred that was fed by denial and given power by fear to rage demoniacally in an unwatched mind.

This is a sketch in word-meanings of a willingness to open/share perspective of a Living Movement of being. The word-meanings can never substitute for the willingness - excepting a wish to seem to be who or what I am not - for my own reasons. That is - for reasons that can be uncovered and enquired of in simple curiosity to be found revealing of something that serves me in a way that I can now accept, release and move on from or 'put behind me' by the simplicity of embracing what I prefer rather than being defined by what I do NOT want.

Ron Paul: Begin With Uncompromising Purity

Ron Paul: Begin With Uncompromising Purity
By Daily Bell Staff

A commentary on the 'Teddy Awards' - in the DBell.
Contrasting the official narrative with genuine merit.


It is astonishingly true that the denier projects the act that is denied awareness in themself onto the 'other'. And quite heartlessly so - that is with no quality of relational awareness for who the other truly is or the effects of such projection... and following attacks (in the name of defence).
Perhaps I should take this away from any specific personage or institution and say it in abstract universally applicable terms - for it is true of any of us in any triggered denial.

Presentation masking true presence is a kind of magic - by which your true fear or your fear of true - is kept hidden ; denied.
Almost all of us are playing the game of denying deeper fear in the attempt to use rage to drive power - by which we become increasing powerless or enslaved to self-illusion of conditioning and without a will of our own. And when not, the game of hiding in fear from such 'power' plays the fear role (of denied rage) by seeking to limit and conform and invalidate anything except that which supports our self-image.
Whenever anyone demonstrates the simple clear integrity of presence - they resonate those who are alive enough to Feel it, but enrage those who have denied Feeling in seeking control through form change - as if changing the forms is answering the driven sense of eradicating symptoms or effects of inner unrecognized conflict. It never does more than prime the pump.

Reading a somewhat synchronous message below (EUbrainwashing MMXVI) I quite agree - though at some level all thinking is part of i-magi-nation. But the presentation of surface thinking is a mask that belies the subconscious and even more unconscious imprints it was made to hide. And so the Faustian pact operates beneath the promise of seeming power gains - and all comes to ruin.
The idea that we can be present and attentively engaged in the best option available to act upon in any moment of choice is natural to a true sense of worth in Life - but is a discipline of focus and intent for that sense of self which is conflicted in purpose and trying to present a unity or 'integrity' over being split or divided.

Although perhaps few here read and fewer understand my offerings here. I am feeling for the articulation of  perspectives that address a deeper patterning from which the world we struggle with, automatically or inevitably arises - and re-enacts over and over again.

Inevitably such light as Ron Paul shares is studied as if to be reverse engineered - either in order to weaken and destroy - or to subvert and usurp the forms in ways that diverts the unwary to follow instead. But a key facet of true individual worth is its extension as real relationship - and that is what we have to be vigilant FOR - and against deception that may look great but feel wrong.

Regardless the appearances of lack of worth in my fellow humanity - I need to nurture and grow the extension of worth as real relationships - or else I succumb to a facade of self-imaged judgemental righteousness - whilst giving power to loveless agenda to use me.

The world is in 'lousy shape' because the very few are empowered by the lousy sense of Life that the very many believe is the lesser evil than risking real transformation. And without a true sense of Life Calling - it is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

So calling on (seeking/opening/yielding to) Life and flowing with that felt movement in an honesty of being - is a decision or outcome in which Life gets to heal or reintegrate conflicts within us - because we are moving WITH IT.

The 'alternative' is to persist in calling on power OVER Life - in refusal to move our true feeling being - and get what we ask for. Divide and rule indicates that conflict is the ruse by which unity or indivisibility is lost to doubt, fear, guilt, limitation and loss, blame, rage and 'righteous' hatred or indeed 'jihad'.

The holy war of the mind-control warrior is to disallow terror within by pointing the finger out and away. This is not without some loving intent for rage and terror are associated with hell, with fragmentation of consciousness, and unbearable pain in loss of light... and unconsciousness of Life in place of Life's Embrace.

Purity cannot be self-perfected or self-induced by working on oneself in image. It has to be uncovered or re-discovered or indeed revealed against all belief and experience to the contrary. And then it has to be a Relational awareness and not a marketized or weaponized mask.

Signal and noise - and a strange gait

Report of discovery of large object in far outer edges of solar system incites skeptical reactions

I read quite a few comments (to this article) and offer another criteria for discerning signal from noise. Whenever a poster resorts to attempts to invalidate or attack or denigrate others - there is an unwillingness or incapacity to actually communicate.

There is (always) more than 'factual data', there is the interpretation of that data - which is never without agenda. Self-honesty seeks to an openness without merely conforming to pre-existing known or hidden bias. But human beings are not given to self-honesty when they have investment of identity, status, and security at stake. And so the competing of asserted 'realities, models or paradigms' operates like any war, in a world predicated on war - because self-honesty is met with ridicule, demonisation and denial.

The undercurrent emotional conditionings that rule the mind of those who must be perceived to be in conformance to be credible, respectable or acceptable operates a kind of scientism that is presenting itself as a form of coercive agenda



Experts discover new gait pattern among top Russian officials
(researchers study video of top Russians and find 'gunslinger gait').

A kind of cloning is readily observable in terms of acquired traits, for the forms or behaviours of influence propagate by induction.
If there is felt to be an advantage - then certain forms are adopted as part of one's persona - which is a kind of meta-communication - through which identity can be masked and allegiances can be indicated.
If there are enough videos going back, the researcher might discover if Putin is a primary seeder as one might expect. When Hilary re-emerged after losing to Obama as part of his team - her diction had become a clone of his.
In fact once you tune in to this - it all shifts to reveal a masquerade

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.

Enemy without?

I commented beneath this Daily Bell editorial as much to the comment as to the article for I look at the ideas from which we operate rather than invest and identify on one idea against another.

- - -
Standing our ground is to abide in our integrity of being regardless the circumstance.
Everything else is temporary.
It is right to question political organisation - for that buys into the outsourcing of integrity to ideas and others. Any shared endeavour depends entirely on the conscious integrity of its membership.
However the extension of integrity is the most fundamental act a human being can make and is the basis of 'our'.
The idea of 'enemy' tends to operate a device of division into blind or distorted reaction.
Disintegrity within our own mind is the 'enemy' - and the lack of integrity in others cannot be merely personalised and vilified and damned - and as a result somehow become our own integrity justified.
The enemy of liberty is that which defines freedom exclusively for itself at expense of others as a sort of self-specialness or exceptionalism - or indeed supremacy.
However one is free to limit or withhold oneself until one uses that freedom to choose differently - and experience of limitation, conflict and isolation all weigh towards re-evaluating one's choices. But not while the cause of one's woe is pointed exclusively at others.
The looking to also be aware of the mote in our own eye is not about self-guilt or self-invalidation but of true foundation.
The loss of awareness of true foundation is the dis-integrity or disintegration from which all else automatically unfolds in like kind.
Individual has come to stand for self-asserted independence. Now Corporates shout their 'freedom' all over the Planet.
Individuality, like true sovereignty of will, is an expression or extension of a Source; an indivisibility of being. This cannot be found with a battlefield one refuses to transcend. A battle in which one is defined against 'others', rather than being identified within an integral brotherhood - no matter how insanely any of us are identifying at any given moment.
To see the lie as sin to be damned and stamped out is to become the hater through which the lie has just propagated itself.
But seeing the lie as an error to be corrected at the level of its choice and not its appearance of bait or persuasion is the releasing of the lie and of allegiance to the lie - which is much more pervasive than its symptoms would suggest. Hence the attempt to war on symptoms merely persists what it purports to manage or control.
Giving 'enemy' to others is a choice. We all get to experience to consequence of choice and thus refine it to serve the ideas we hold most dear. I would open those ideas by which everyone then acts forth as they do, to awareness. Hatred disallows such freedom.
Though of course I understand it arises within the dissonance of disintegrity because it is intolerable and the desire is for the pain to go away. I find this to be either where one yields the mind to align more truly, or invoke and fortify the mind to deny and split off from and project the hatred away. But if one notices oneself in act, one can no longer believe it true. And this awareness has now come into had before operated a closed system of a kind of tyranny of which one wasn't previously aware.

I received an appreciation from the DB:

Excellent, excellent post, binra. Thank you for this significant food for thought and personal introspection.

I replied:




Thankyou for joining in a willingness to pause and consider. (The parsing of thought-forms can occur algorithmically without any actual relationship - not unlike computers reacting to each 'other' in 'market trading').

I like to turn that phrase around. To invite or discern 'Thought for Food' in all circumstances - that is - to become responsible for my diet when it comes to thoughts explicitly or implicitly communicated to my awareness. It doesn't matter what thoughts come in so much as what I validate by reaction. That is an area of choice many are unaware of.
If I suck into thought that actually is out of true with who in all honesty I hold myself to be, then I invite conflict and distortions or limitations into my mind - (whilst likely blaming someone or something else). It is an ongoing education - often an unlearning of what I had thought or needed to believe was true.
So while of course we have to operate various structures of organisation as a society, I feel these will  inevitable embody and reflect the accepted thought of the times. What may be less apparent is that the human conditioning operates on many levels and guises such that what we present or think we believe is out of true with what we actually believe but have in a sense designated to 'unconscious'.
The illusionist distracts attention to hide what is going on. The mind is distracted to look only 'outside' by a kind of illusionist within that is also tapped into by manipulators without. For the attempt to hide our fear or our sense of inadequacy or unworthiness is NOT undoing or healing it. Rather it gives it power to operate in the shadows. And it is these apparently weak points of self-doubt or self-rejection and division, that manipulators target. But they are only weak while we are unaware that we hold them. An honesty to our fear allows us to be in relation to it and to move through it or past its dictates. A willingness to look within and without concurrently brings back the focus of a true mindfulness. It is our natural presence. The dictate to NOT look within operates the self-protective program of hiding what we were in the past, unwilling or unable to face or to tolerate.
I might suggest that the 'unconscious' that was supposed to have been put out of mind, is rising all about us as our experience of the world.
It is not easy to communicate THAT there is a coercive element in our inherited consciousness make up to the persona of belief that survival and freedom lie in KEEPING it hidden. Hence the often insane lengths that people go to against all reason in defending a personal agenda to which they have no perspective on or relationship to - because it is 'running them' as 'reality'. Those who 'know not what they do' may believe they know exactly what they are doing - but it is all within the re-enactment of their separation programming - ie: the attempt to overcome, deny or coerce that which their separation script is projected upon. But NO amount of coercing symptoms actually deals with the cause - which simply re-manifests in what is generally a subtler level of symptoms. Thus we become victim to our own complexity of 'defence' until the 'structure' breaks down and a greater perspective comes through.
The hidden personal agenda lies within the forms of accepted 'righteousness'. What else can a mask be made from BUT the forms that pass muster? But who remembers who they are, free of mask - when there are levels of masking each defending the others - to which one is automatically triggered or baited into with hardly a moment's peace in which to notice?
If we look upon our script and recognize it is a script of our own making - albeit with others, then we have opportunity to release that which no longer serves and let a truly fresh appreciation inspire us. People try to teach this as a form of coercive personal accomplishment - perhaps because that is the only framework that many see as holding value. But is there anything so dangerous as good ideas applied by the 'well intentioned'?

Free willing Integrity

Beyond Good and Evil II: Is morality instinctual?

Integrity is innate because Life is a Unified Expression. The assertion of identity upon Life is a device within consciousness of coercive intent. This coercive identity is the use of free willingness for the purpose of a personal agenda that then presumes itself to be free to act of do as a power unto itself - excepting it is now experiencing a struggle in a world of powers in place of membership within a present remembrance of true power - which is not coercive upon itself nor rejecting itself in a fragmented mind of conscious and unconscious and collective and personal.

Moral action is congruency of thought word and deed. This is integrity. This is true presence extended. The attempt to make moral codes and apply them and enforce them is the mask or presentation of a personal agenda or capacity that one does not actually have. It is simply the use of guile in guilting with fear to affect behaviors and appearances.

Morality is NOT codifiable. The attempt to exclude God is to exclude the Living quality of our presence in true communication, in exchange for a world as we define and accept it to be. This IS conflict within our being and must result in fear, guilt, and division by which the mind seems to have split off as a 'rationality' of 'control' and emotionality seems to have split of as shifting feelings. In fact the Mind is Whole regardless the definitions of identity in struggle, the feelings and thinking, the perceptions and action/reaction of personal and relational struggle and pain. The helpful part of iai.tv is a willingness to think outside the orthodoxies - but THINKING itself is such an orthodoxy - and the arrogance of ignorance presumes that ITS thinking is the apex or crown of human achievement - nay - of Life Itself! - but it is all noise to the Signal until its Purpose is changed.

Purpose is foundation. All things express and persist their foundation. The mentality of 'divide and rule' is all sleight of mind, in which what one thinks to be true is experienced as if it were so, and what is actually true is rendered 'unconscious' or obscure.

Existence forbids nothing, embraces everything. Their is no limit to what you can imagine but what you accept as true for you will define you and while it does you limit your focus through it.

Consciousness is One Universal within and yet embracing all local or particular expressions of uniqueness as Its Own Knowing. Whatever you give out (as a result of what you choose to accept) is what you get back (experience). Everything changes excepting the above three unalterable facts.

The perspective of the embodiment in a physical reality is already a complex result of a template of definitions. Existence Experiences Itself through all of it - but to remember your own freedom and joy in existence is to align truly within it. Not to coerce others or the world to align to YOUR model reality. Coercion is the device by which integrity is lost sight of. Following imaginations of what you do NOT want keeps you in fear and struggle and sacrifices joy.

I offer this as reflection not to persuade anyone of anything they do not want to know or don't already know. Clever thinking made our world of absurd and tragic complexity. It will NOT lead anywhere else.

To be still and know is to yield thinking and let the movement of Live register as the true of You. If you think "Oh, you can fake that", I say, why would you? Why would you? Unless to persist in clever thinking that usurps your true knowing and willing. Free willing is whole - not reactive.

Be true to your self - not to what fear defines you as. If you want.

Hire hackers to maintain system integrity?

'We'll hire hackers' to solve cyber skills crisis say over half of UK firms


"Come into my parlour says the spider to the fly".

Who believes they don't understand what and where they have opened into, becomes fearful, will confuse allaying fear with true solutions - and lead themselves further into entanglement. When fear leads decision making, reputation and false investments can be protected against regaining integrity of functionality. Integrity is everything or rather, loss of integrity loses everything.

There are many reasons for presenting oneself as if one knew - it's what one wants the other to believe about one's self to 'get' or keep the job, charge the fee. I have heard that traders knew the Crash was inevitably coming if not the exact timing - but never reported that because a 'bullish' take on the market was required.

Integrity of systems cannot be divorced from integrity of self and relations - but ingenious thinking can disguise this as solutions that in effect compound the problem in more complex packages.

Hackers can mean anything - the ability to hack is not in itself malign intent though it may indicate a distrust and disregard for imposed authoritative systems, often in exploring the way thinks work  - because they can.

The extension of value - not just money - to an individual, for their willingness to join a team includes the tangible experience of participating in such a team. If the 'culture' is merely corporate 'incentive' then there is no value extended apart from incentives and therefore no loyalty either way - only mechanism of separate and competing self-interest albeit in temporary alliance or compliance.

As the integrity of the Internet breaks down or is revealed to be breached or subverted to private agenda, does it not reflect the dis-integrity of the human consciousness that marketed it? Does the evolution of an idea inevitably persist and consolidate its predicate?

To put it another way, is the corruption of the international financial and economic system built in and thus inevitably resulting in a globalism determined by a very few - or less - because that model does not 'share power'?

Or is it the insinuation and infiltration of an integrity by a divisive appeal to a private agenda?

General thinking is that private agenda = reality, and war is the real world. But that is hard for most people to live with themselves with, and so it is dressed and presented and served in cultured settings. But it is obvious that whatever rules are agreed - they are never wholly agreed and are broken or subverted - not least my those who influence the making of rules!

The concentrations of wealth and power persist a disintegrity of cultural norm, to guarantee that the 'system' will be redesigned to serve those who own and drive it and disregard or abuse those that struggle within it .

Systems cannot replace integrity - but they can reflect it.

Bring on the empty Horses!

No more Trojan horses

Labour needs to explain why Birmingham failed to stop the Islamist practices in the schools under its control

Be aware that when those in positions of power and trust say "do as I say and not as I do", that they will send conflicted messages that undermine their own integrity and authority as well as teaching others that it is ok or even necessary to use coercive propaganda in place of a willingness to communicate.

As long as the 'parent' or leadership persists in its own fearful denial of its own confusion, it locks itself in a mask that is attempted to co-opt others to validate its own false sense of identity.

The dissonance of reaction and miscommunication that seems to call for even further coercive and deceptive 'control' is in fact the opportunity to awaken from a strategy that not only cannot work - but which further undermines all that yet IS working.

Human Existence without integrity and trust is bedlam. One can act out such confusion as if it makes sense and thus give your Life to that which neither knows or values you.

The urge to self-protection is easily used by the boy who cries 'wolf!' to divert it. But in time the trick is revealed and nothing the boy says thereafter is accorded credibility.

Be aware the mind is very cunning in its role as the justifier of your mask or persona and consider if saving face is in fact a saving grace or a deeper and denser and more costly set of lies. The ancient wisdom knew of this but expressed it in symbol and story - which a scientifically minded materialism rejects or ignores.

No one can tell you anything that you do not yourself choose to accept as true. You are the one who can discern what is truly resonant and relevant to your best sense of who and what you are now. When we believe fearfully, we are prone to want to hide our 'nakedness' and the voice of a self-serving suggestion will rise to our desire to NOT know what we fear we have become. Behold the deceiver is in our midst because a cover-up of a covert op regards exerting power as more desirable than accepting relationship in which true communication can enter and restore - step by step - a shared integrity of being to our awareness.

The blame game is the worship of a false god. There are many attributes of the term 'god', and one of them is foundation. Another is authority to which one gives trust and identifies within. A so called godless rationality is simply an illusion of a Pinochio-like puppet, rebelling against its condition as a device of extending a higher or greater Conscious appreciation into a scripted world of props and personae. But IT has no independent existence what-so-ever. Any IDEA that we call upon or accept as our own will define and dictate all that extends FROM such foundation. Ideas of a unified and integrated nature share on the gift of Life. The thinking that seems to run off apart from Life as if to be a power all unto itself is a trick of the mind that generates experience unlike our true nature - hence the fear and guilt that then gives rise to a world of competing powers seeking to control 'others' seen as enemy, slave or temporary ally.

There is almost always something in the communication or reflection of the 'enemy' or the 'other' that carries the opportunity for healing - IF we listen not in our strategic dictates - but in the peace of a listening heart. It really does come down to a choice as to where one turns for guidance. As long as the spell endures, one believes one cannot afford to open to anything that is not already 'on our side' and yet who is the caster of the spell but your own wish?

When 'worlds collide' the call is to open to a fresh cultural perspective. The old goats may persist in butting each other or butting in. But fear IS being exposed for what it is - and no longer can be hidden where and in ways it is NOT. Dumping fear or toxic debt onto externals so as to protect an elitist segregating mentality is not our 'salvation' - though of course one can choose to believe oneself specially endowed or afflicted and play out that experience upon others if they will have you.

One is free to imagine oneself creatively or otherwise - but one cannot uncreate one's nature AS creative - no matter how earnestly or self-righteously one seeks to validate one's persona as if IT were the creative. Identity confusion can only operate in a darkened room, in secret. Until one observes and understands the device by which we 'live' in separated secret minds that join only to protect and preserve separateness, the consciousness 'knows not what it does' for it takes reflections as real and forgets its true nature in struggle with the mirrored world.

One cant make a horse drink the water but one can drink thereof as a living example. Only them will one's word be 'Do as I do' - if you will, rather than 'do as I say, not as I do'. What you give out is what you get back. Honesty is a congruency and consistency of thought, word, act and experience. Pretending to be 'decent, respectable, caring, protective and empowering of others' is part of the wishfulness that serves to hide deeper fears or shames.

The illusion of powerlessness is perhaps man's greatest 'achievement'. You ALWAYS have and are a choice. But to know this, one has to turn away from falsely framed choices whose primary purpose is to keep you in the dark. It doesn't hold to blame governments for our own choices and their results - or to expect them to represent a conscious integrity that is not already sharing itself in the collective level of our communication. It is no use saying to those in positions of trust and leadership, "do as I say and not as I do".

Is paranoia itself a 'back door access' for fear's agenda?

An article on naturalnews.com asserts that:

Apple engineered surveillance back door into 600 million iPhones

May I use the article to reflect that your own 'thinking' is an example of a 'back door' violation of integrity?

While your consciousness is compromised by the hacks of a manipulative and fearful suggestion, it runs the agenda of others whilst believing itself 'free'.

Phishing (identity theft) and spambots (infected networking of fear and guilt-driven thought), did begin with the 'apple' in the symbolic myth of the Garden - but I tell you the Tree of Life is not gone away - but is your true inheritance.

A willingness to 'come clean' or OWN your own fear or guilt thinking so as NOT to let IT USE YOU in exchange for a virtual existence in a sense of power that wears you out and abandons you.

There is an ongoing balance to be struck between facilitating communication and blocking or withholding such data from illegitimate access or violation.

The issues of integrity (of a system) and of trust (authentic communication and identification) are primarily within our Consciousness. The nature of our dilemma reveals our split mind. You cant have it both ways!

Systems that embody integrity will arise out of integrity shared, but systems that seek to operate coercion in the form of an integrity (such as our current financial, healthcare, defence or security systems), evolve designs of extraordinary complexity and obfuscation such as to stifle Life Functionality and operate as the herders of the herded - or indeed the culled.

We may not realize that every thought we energise that is of the nature of coercion upon our own experience and relations feeds the 'world' of hate, fear, shame, sickness and war - and I do not say this to condemn - but to invite a fresh waking appraisal of the kind of consciousness we want to cultivate as our 'world' - for we all experience whatever the 'world' IS - through the consciousness we accept and validate by acting as if it were true.

IT IS DIFFICULT to transition from a world in which we thought solid and in some sense dependable, to one in which deeper fears are unmasked and realities crumble that we did not know we had built our house on until they fell away. The habit-choices of fear and guilt are exposed and our OLD way was to try to cover them up and 'escape' ASAP! But this 'genie' isn't going back into the bottle - so the nature of your wishes needs to align to your true will - instead of playing out a conflict by which you frighten yourself.

Love's integrity and awareness is beneath the coverings of fear and conflict - and yet also beyond their reach. Sites that do anything to attract attention so as to sell that attention its payload - or to sell its guest to the designs of others illustrate a lack of integrity. This is a choice from which all can experience and learn what they choose to access or call forth in their consciousness, including the ones involved in attempting something that works against their true interest - yet seems RIGHT or necessary because of the WRONGNESS seen in others or the fear of consequence of not acting as circumstance seems to dictate. 

Pride comes before a fall. A true humility comes as a rising light.

Integrity and insanity

This writing today was gladly shared with a willingness to ask. (From a comment thread here)

Dave said:

I hear you Binra. Your last word was integrity. Can we start there? If some have none of it, what do you suppose I owe them? Do I owe them communication at the very least? Isn't communication a two way street, listening as well as conveying? And what of sanity? Who should define it?

Can you see that human consciousness and indeed human communication operates a masked world - which includes the mimicking or the attempt to make an 'integrity' of a mask?
That in the world we become so confused in our identity that we often have reacted from the mask as if it were our true word and reacted to another's mask as if it were their true word?

So listening with discernment has to begin from a place that is itself awake or of a willingness that is open to the promptings and noticings of That in us which is of an integrated and integral awareness; of that which IS communication, rather than an attempt to DO or coerce communication to fit our filters of demand or expectation.

In some sense we all construct a self for ourself out of our predilections, our upbringing, and an ongoing adjustment to the world as we experience it - and if we become 'well adjusted' we can live what Socrates called the 'unquestioned life'; a surface that never gives way to reveal a depth.

So it will often be those who have in some sense been broken, or passed through change in which their sense of self - sanity and world - perception is fundamentally challenged. For those who successfully mask their true presence behind a mentality that convinces them that everything is as they believe it is are acting out a script of which they are unaware.

What do you owe your self - or indeed your Self? This is the key to integrity. If you honour, accept and appreciate the gift of life - that gives you your self and includes your experience, then you live out from that integral, integrated sense of congruency.
If you cheat or deny or undermine yourself then you engage with thought and act that dis-integrates you and gives a disconnected and struggling sense of self - in an experience that doesn't feel like a communicating flow of events but a problem to be solved in order to get your life back.
An interior awareness allows choice where otherwise is only reaction that operates as if it were free.

Those who act or communicate without integrity can serve you in many ways - but only if first your serve your self - with integrity. It is not for me or you to live another's life or make their decisions and give them our meanings - and the urge to do this rises from the sense of denial of one's own deeper responsibility.

I notice that when I am aligned in my being, I do not need others to fit into my 'plan' or scheme and can thus listen receptively and discern better as to how to respond or indeed whether to overtly respond. Giving as I would receive is the basis of liberty - for if I would imprison you in concept, how can I know myself free?
However, I do not have to associate with or agree with or join with that which feels it has no belonging in my own integrity of relation and indeed must exercise self-love in refusing to engage in that which is both meaningless and undermining of integrity to give energy and attention to.

I notice when I allow or inadvertently choose awry from my integrity, that the world and even my loved ones, immediately reflect back a lack of worth - and the disposition to see 'what is wrong' with the other, or the world, works as a kind of confused or reactive attempt to mitigate a conflicted sense of myself - that I have taken seriously and locked down on.

This answer is not perhaps what you expect or sought, because I am calling attention to your relation within your self - as it corresponds with whatever is going on and whoever your are with.

Communication in its fullest meaning is never really interrupted, and is always in a sense available to a willingness. You can use this to see that there is always another perspective - another way of looking at  - anything. The way we choose to see anything and the experience it brings us, will be uncovered as a freedom to give - if we loosen our own self-certainties enough to rewaken an innocent curiosity.

What you give is up to you. Absolutely up to you. There are all kinds of rules for thought and behaviour, but those which resonate and reflect your innate integrity will bring you to the trust in your own core vibrational knowing. While we fear our own deceptions we cannot unselfconsciously trust the full flow of our desire - yet exactly that is our joy in life - our freedom to be what we are rather than to struggle in what we are not.

Just as those who love each other do not interrupt its flow to stop and ask the mind "what is love?" - so is it that those who become aware of insanity are those who recognize in some sense they have lost it - or lost awareness and integration of it. We get in the way of our own light - and then lock down by blaming this block as our 'self'.

Yet even a mask of a self has to copy, mimic or pass off as something that is already true. If love were not already true where would rise an attempt to fake it or make it or even deny it real?
Once we have defined our self without integrity - we seek it as if we do not have it. We try to integrate our mind such as we now feel split off and threatened, but do so by rejecting all that we judge against and use judgement as the coercive defence of our own sense of protection and survival - as a separated mind (in a separate body in a world of separate things that exists 'out there' as a sort of dead matter in empty nothingness.

To come back into a true sanity requires we do nothing - not passivity - but do nothing from the reactive or coercive assertion of a dis-integrity. The saying "be still and know' is not about applied rigidity, but an inner relaxation to an uncoercive appreciation. But of course old habits are often deep set, so one's willingness to reintegrate will encounter the 'disintegrities' that work to sabotage or block or distort one's joy - one's essential communication in life. many see these and use them as proof they are unworthy, have failed, cant do it, blah blah blah. But it is up to you (or each of us) which thoughts we listen to and validate.

So what about all these crappy, lacking, faulty, insane, deluded or evil human beings?
It is up to you what you choose to give focus and relevance according to the theme you are exploring. From my heart I feel to bring attention to THAT we are free to choose and give trust to that in the light of a true choice, the choice will be truly made. But don't be deceived by the choices that the mask allows - for it only knows of its own defence. That's what it was for and remains.

I don't communicate to the mask - because it cannot hear. But the living ones who confuse the Life with fearful definitions, are limiting themselves unknowing. One can only communicate with a willingness or as an invitation to willingness. the mask can only transact. There's nothing wrong with a subconscious persona that reinforces and supports your focus and desire. But once programmed with negative association it will seem to 'have a mind of its own'. The more one fights it - the stronger it seems to become. One 'talks' to the subconscious by repetition of persistence and consistency. Align therefore with what you really want (in any given moment) so as to teach yourself what it is you want to learn.

The mind wants to map and control and extract meaning for itself. But in opening to the possibility of inspiration, it is the intuitive sense that resonates with what is relevant as a communication now. It is enough to 'get it' at a level that feels it and then that seed is your own 'knowing' and works in you as you give it welcome and value it. I am in a willingness to be helpful, not because you need it - but because I recognize and embrace my need to extend it.
Without each other there is no fight, nor is there any sharing in Light - in the recognitions that cant be weaponized or marketed (though their forms can be used to mean something else in the dark).

One way of looking at 'end times' is to see it as a Time of Choice. I feel to live in the choice that aligns most clearly with what it is that I am - and this is served by the reflection-experience of what it is I am NOT as well as by uncovering shared purpose in a greater communication than my 'little mind' could even begin to imagine.
How this works out in practice - for each of us - is an unfolding of the themes we are exploring as experience - which is as deep and subtly glorious as one is willing to allow. But this may only be as glimpses until the framework of a coercive mentality is left unused; rendered obsolete through non use. None the less, even a glimpse of a truly sane appreciation, is a life changing event - or rather the releasing of the (insane) attempt to change what Life Is, to a reintegrated Consciousness.

True learning is joyful. Can we start with whatever degree or shred of integrity we can live from - regardless of whatever past we feel defined and limited by? Some will have none of it - and seek to hold us to our past. They will be the ones who allow us to know we have moved on, when we no longer react to their thoughts and acts as anything to do with who and what we are - and if they are willing - we can extend a shared sense of integrity to them in whatever way serves the moment - but not as an attempt to prove we have it. That is how we 'lose' it or mask it.

Everyone can smell a rat - that is to say - can pick up on a coercive intent. We are experts - even children. Likewise everyone can discern integrity - because it resonates one's own.
So why are we fooled except we are distracted from noticing or too invested in our mask to allow it to dissolve? See how the 'world works' and uncover the way the mind works - without using what is revealed as a self-damnation or invalidation. Honesty allows a spontaneous willingness to be curious and thus to simply notice and express without side. In the sense that the world defines it - honesty is impossible - because the world itself operates as a deception. So rather than guarantee a fail in attempting the impossible, embrace all that you are from a fresh perspective.

Your definitions - your word - is what generates your unique experience. But much of this is unconscious to a daily waking mind - but active none the less. It isn't that there is an 'evil' mind in opposition to Life so much as negatively defined and invalidated self which is rejected, excluded and feared. A true communication can unravel a grievance to the core recognition of Life Integrity - but only as willingness allows. The hurt and rage of the human heart is not often felt to be truly received, but often works contagion and recycles over and over, over and over. One does not need to be clever to recognize insanity and desire to be free of it.

Pausing from reaction

MPs rule out British assault on SyriaGovernment motion on action against Assad defeated by 13 votes

I am pleased to see that that which seeks to manipulate by inciting reaction has had to pause.

To pause from reaction allows a space in which an honesty can rise to awareness that otherwise is kept at bay.

An honest perspective may seem unaffordable to vested interests and masked agendas - particularly if the promise of gaining advantage or of mitigating loss is believed credible.

But an insane perspective is no perspective at all.

If it seems to be the only view available, perhaps one has yet to pause from reactive thinking and listen in the heart. Honesty and discernment are felt in the heart, but emotional reactivity is a manipulation of the mind as if to usurp a unified perspective.

Though at root the dynamic of deception is simple. It spawns complexities of entanglement in conflict that cannot be solved within its own framework. This is also seen in the financial 'system'.

The mindset of division, blame and self-righteousness is embedded in human consciousness as a conditioning, but it is not native to Consciousness Itself.

Who can pause of their own thinking can open to wisdom.

Not in subjugation to another's will - but yielding in trust to the true power of life.

So yes, I am saying that what we take as our thinking is a deception, and that we need wake up, by pausing of its programming and noticing what is active currently.

Or stoke the fires of opinionated identity in reaction and to hell with it?

We all have a choice, because we ARE all choosing in every moment, to use it.

A sense of righteousness is compulsive to the one that fears their own illegitimacy. But at the deepest level, we are all complicit in the 'sin' of putting our own thinking above that of love's awareness now. So much so, that very few will be able to pause reaction to this so as to hear its message.

As long as we love to hate, and love to fear - so long will the insanity and pain of war blight our lives. Not just in wars of bomb and bullet - but war as a perpetual and accepted NORM of relations with ourselves, each other and our world.

I would that love's honesty rise in everyone and make no exception. For if I say that 'so and so' does not deserve love's awareness, I attack myself.

To say NO to an unacceptable behaviour, may well be a direct expression of love - but the presence of integrity is what is actually communicating.

Where is our integrity? Is it not the basis of our sanity and trust in ourselves and therefore each other? Is it not the resonance and quality of our communications as well as the forms of meanings that are conveyed?

Humiliation is feared and avoided with lies that lead to more lies. Yet a moment's honest reflection can shift to a true humility - and here is integrity that does not lord it at another's expense. It always starts now - and it is always a responsibility of thought and intent, now.

Pause itself isn't an answer, but in it, the desire for answer can be lived as an expression of trust. Not in the terms set by the problem - but in one's true relation that is NOT defined by the terms the problem sets.

Our surface minds have been conditioned to war - but our true mind is not what we have covered it with - and so can be UN-covered - unless we persist in warring so as to maintain a NOT knowing in which to seem to exercise 'self-will'.

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.

Notional Security

Apple CEO Tim Cook, together with other tech chiefs, met with U.S. President Obama for a secret meeting to discuss technological surveillance.  (ZNet)

The phrase 'national security' can mean whatever whatever anyone asserts it to mean - especially if in a position of power over others.
If one perceives one's national security as synonymous with control and power over others or world events then one has disregarded sharing power with one's people in favour of the mentality of imposing power upon.
The search for security of those who seek to manipulate others is both endless and futile because the nature of coercion is to breed hatred - regardless of whether it can be set in terms that feel justified to the aggressor.

The USA is a favoured host for the use of power on the world stage - yet it is actually hostage to influences and forces to which it has become indentured.

We might recognize that our national identities are becoming simply a leverage of manipulation rather than an expression of conscious cultural flowering.

We might realize that our notional identity - our ego or self image - is no less a leverage of a manipulative intent and THEREFORE wake up to relinquish secret manipulative intent and listen and feel for a conscious cultural flowering of an integrity that embodies and serves the whole.
Until there is indication from the ground up - of a sea change in culture - our leaders cannot break out from their Faustian pacts. The issue of secrecy is of a veiled loveless and dis honouring intent - which always corrupts its host and serves a disintegrating and rapacious death-wish dressed up as self vindicating struggle to prevail over adversity.

Maybe there is a willingness to see that such self-limiting mentality is inherently fruitless and let it go. Maybe there is a willingness to remember the true source and nature of life rather than demand life only in the terms we set it in.

Q: How can one look at the world we have made and not bring into question our very foundations of self and reality?

A: By looking only as fear and guilt dictate. Which is to say by not really seeing at all.

Channelling the true or the false?

"It takes one to know one".

Human society colludes to make its judgements real and then lives as if reality has been determined. This is a way of not having to actually dissolve our egoity by actually checking in with Reality.

This tacit conspiracy is the 'denial of the Onenness of God'  in which adventures of a particular kind of separation-consciousness can be 'explored' or played out in experience.
One could say the in such a mode we are channelling denial - and that fear, division, conflict, guilt - and all the reactivity of trying to overcome that or escape it or pretend it is not there - is a channelled experience.
But what exists by the act of denial depends on what it denies to have even a seeming existence - and so Truth is not only not lost - it is present in every moment of every appearance or event, real or imagined.
The shift from channelling fear to channeling love is not the act of a separate one, but the revealing of an underlying truth. To recognize and desist from the fear-driven allows Unified Will to rise to awareness and share.
Dis-integrated will, seems to be fragmented in separate conflicting persons or aspects of Our Being. The rising to awareness of Unified Will is a resonant shared mind or purpose which unites and then transcends apparent difference.
Different strokes suit different folks and at different times in different ways. One does not need to understand what is not resonant/relevant to what is alive in oneself now and to do so is simply an indicator that keeping life covered over in such preoccupation is the current purpose.
Nor does receiving help no matter how deeply felt, mean that one is obliged to any form of relationship with what seemed to be the helper. Indeed it is truly help that awakens that capacity to help ourself. Not in a private cut off independence - but as a fully cooperating Individual Expression of Life.
In all things we can wonder if truth or deception is at work. As long as we sit on the fence we play with keeping BOTH. To embrace with trust and enter the flow is to open the qualities of discernment that feel the flow and need to know. There is nothing wrong with mistakes. One is not damned by having to change course in life.

The technology of Consciousness

In identification with a conflicted mind, we seek solutions outside our self - as if the answer is something that makes the world fit our demand and support our dream. As with attacking the many headed Hydra we 'solve' problems which then rise up with seven more heads (in more complex disguises) - and become densely and unconsciously identified in reaction to 'denied self'. We seem to be becoming more powerful discoverers of the world but are drawn out into extending or dislocating our identity and power into things apparently outside our self. When each apparent new world, ideology, or solution turns out to re-enact the same conflict that we were seeking to escape, we find an intolerable sense of ourselves, our world in which we either invoke ingenuity to 'escape' or overcome - or arrive at the beginning with willingness to look with new eyes.

Technology is an extension of the mind in its intent to shape and change its world - and this begins with conceptual thinking - our technology provides mappings, definitions and languages which we take as the world Itself rather than a conditioned adaptation of apparently competing/conflicting programs or purposes and interpreted results. But it is a virtual interface over an unconsciousness that is wilfully set.
With the Internet of all things we are outsourcing our native intelligence at it lower levels to a series of programmed purposes. But we have not escaped the fundamental dilemma of a conflicted consciousness in which the wish to control alternates and seems to compete with the desire to trust. In the first is an experience of a world of action and reaction that is perfect justification for the assertion and imposition of control - for it is fearful and apparently unworthy of trust - for it reflects a fundamental dishonesty of our own denied mind. It reflects a willing lovelessness of intent. The latter also brings an experience that justifies its extension. It serves the undoing of fearful projection and the release of loveless intent. In trying to have both, the mind hangs or crashes - because they are mutually irreconcilable.
If even a glimpse of such intuition is present, one can look at the world and see our reflection in ways that serve to illuminate and undo the obstructions to an honest perspective.
To choose one is to let the other go. But fear can never be a whole choice because it is not the self-creator it pretends to be, but is wholly dependant on that which it seems to exist by reaction against.
But trust allows the true nature of Mind to extend as what could be called the Original Internet of All Things. That what we seek to replicate - in order to control - already exists in the relinquishment of control, does not register with the 'orphaned' consciousness as meaningful or in any way desirable, but only as threat to its continued employment/existence - which it suggests is yours.
All systems disintegrate if they are not expressing integrity. The presentation of integrity as a means for control is not an open honest communication and will not draw forth an honest open response.
The time is ripe to see what we hold in our mind - for its creates the experience of the world as we see it, and the world is in a process of fundamental change. Our consciousness is in transformational transition.
From a Mental view of the Universe, you will have what you perceive while you want it to be true for you, but the conscious experience of pervasive fear is intolerable to all except the warmonger and the determined ostrich. For these two are part and parcel of each other.
To raise consciousness is not to become reactive but to identify and release reactivity. This allows what is running beneath it to surface; as wisdom, discernment, intuition, insight, and appreciation. These are not resources to plunder in designing yet another layer of self-illusion - but are our Natural Inheritance as Expressions of Existence.
Our world can serve the purpose we hold in our heart if we stay true to our purpose, and this purpose is already inherent beneath the masks and strategies of fearful attempt to protect and control. We don't have to make it or prop it up or convince our self or others. We just have to embrace it wholly in our Now of Consciousness. It doesn't matter that the habit of fear recurs when the foundation is set. Just to relax allows a reconnection.
Responsibility is not about blame - but about living choices. false choices keep us locked in limitation while true choice is a creative unfoldment.

The shorter comment would have been: What if the problem is the answer unrecognized?

The war of terror and the making of history

Osama bin Laden wore a cowboy hat to hide from spy satellites and taught his grandkids to grow veg

Occasionally he’d stroll across the field to chat to his eldest son and admire his cow, while munching on an apple and some chocolate

Be acutely aware that you cannot expect reliable news coverage of anything to to with the 'war of terror' being waged against our minds - if we suck into it. History is being made... indeed.

The Bin Laden family are VERY close to the Bush family. (One random example of many) When all planes were grounded on 9/11, an exception was made for the Bin Laden family to escape the actual physical company of the Bush family.

Oil is central to the world power struggles and the markets and power of influence of the supplier/pusher make any other kind of drug induced corruption insignificant - even if all added together.

Corruption is when one loses one's integrity for a false promise of power or self protection. Without integrity, power struggle replaces a unity and all that seems to be on the table is war - through 'fair' means or foul - but when the masks no longer deceive - only the foul can be seen.

In the sheer insanity of war, the mind screams out for integrity - for a basis of meaning that restores sanity. But in the masquerade that collapses to reveal the most heartless intent, all go righteously in unconscious reaction.

Anyone public tends to be remade in the image of the media - and the mind of the masses. Their symbolic use in the collective mind is created and their actual existence ignored. This is not just terrorists and celebs - it is you and I. We have no real existence in such a world but only what can be got from us. A heartless intent that sets up and destroys as its whim decrees.

As long as this heartless intent can be masked or seen for the most part on the OTHER - then it can be killed over and over - while luring the mind to believe its own relative innocence and allowing it to be suggestible to manipulations that purport to provide 'protection'.

But the attempt to control life, other people, the world, only leads to a more and more out of control situation - at ever deeper levels of madness. There is a better way, but the voice for self-specialness will not allow or accept it, so we have to be willing to release it or put it behind us by not being drawn into reaction, but standing in a shared sense of value.

Don't give in to the terrorists - the fear-mongers, the hate-sellers and grievance grocers.
Find a place in calm that can communicate or simply relate without war.

We seem powerless in the world no matter how unacceptable it is becoming - and yet we are not powerless in our thinking, in our choices and in our honesty.

The politics of perception

Snowden deserves an immediate presidential pardon
History will probably be kinder to the American than to his pursuers, writes Stephen Walt

Commented:

The politics of perception has become a politics of polarisation in which the parts of the corporate body attack each other and itself in fear of losing power as power is defined and played out.

Truth is not a matter of propaganda and presentation - but of conviction, the expression of which, in act and deed is an extension of trust.

Without integrity, there is no basis for trust. Fear and guilt become contagion and all is given to madness.
The decision to come out from the closet - or the bunker - and stand in witness to truth as best as it can be discerned and honoured - is to be restored to our true living - regardless of the way the cookie crumbles - because the perspective of integrity is not a self inflated justification for the lack of it!

A tyranny of fear that uses guilt to manipulate has all the power that fear and confusion gives it. Therefore to withhold allegiance to its dictate, is not to react or protest so much as to reclaim the power of one's own creative freedom to discern and honour Life rather than seek a private self protective advantage over Life - and over others.

When fear and guilt are given power to create - we can reliably expect monsters. Reason is more than rational manipulations or justifications. It is Sanity Itself. Our models or images of Man and the Universe are setting the context for the social, political and economic templates of our times. Surely it is time to wake up from a self defeating war upon our very Life - upon ourself and each other, by which we are deceived.

The underlying pattern I see is that of a lobby of separative self serving interest, (that believes its own voice), convinces you, the government of service and representation for the whole, that its voice is your own and you must do what it says or else terrible consequences will result. One step buys into a lie, in which you are 'owned' by a thinking and a will that has made of you a puppet of a self serving interest. But only while you accept and validate the voice as your own guidance and protection.

I am attempting to point to the roots here, not just of this single issue, but of something endemic to our habit of consciousness.

We humanly tend to mythologise everything. Mr Diamond - or even the banks or 'rogue' financial sector are not themselves the cause - but are effects of a deeper cause.

If we pull off the tops of the weeds, we may feel a momentary satisfaction, but unless we go to the roots, the weeds will be back soon enough.

Our public thinking and our political acts are expressing a superficial and self seeking mask.

The desire to scapegoat is not the correction (of awakened Reason), but the indulgence and manipulation of emotional mythological derivatives - that if truly accounted, would reveal a lack of true presence. (The same voice of separate self serving, lobbying our mind for the maintaining of the mask by which we think to protect our separate interest).

Unless one awakens to the nature - and from the thrall - of such thinking, then the scam is not truly exposed, but has merely sacrificed a part of itself for the hidden seeding in the new growth.

That which hollows out and lays to waste, and turns all things to misery and war, is in our thought.

When thought substitutes for trueliving, an error occurs by which a false identification seeks to get itself free. It calls forth a voice of a separative self interest. If you can feel that, then you can also leave it unused and listen with a fresh curiosity for that of your very being that knows you and therefore knows the guidance of restoring a true harmony of being to a self that seems to be at war within itself and without!

Home truths are not manipulations, but tend to be humbling for the self we imagined to be. This is good news - though it comes as heartbreak. A true foundation is Priceless.

Thank you for your attention.

Bankers pay themselves millions - over and over again. What's going on?

What is the basis of this movement of transfer of great wealth? From what does it come?
Silly money is the inflation of money based on money based on money - where reselling financial 'instruments' makes a sort of ponzi scheme that is fed with and supported by .... the actual transfer of real wealth from poor to rich - and of the turning of assets - both cultural and material - into short term cash - for the purpose of private gain and control.
Rather than vilifying persons who are possessed by such a mentality, I invite taking some time to look at the mind of private gain and control in our own life.
What has writ itself large on the stage of the world is a nature that is unnatural to our truth whose cost is the eclipse or FORGETTING of our truth and seems to deliver us a world (of conflict) at cost of our Soul - which IS the Presence of tangible Life and therefore the root context of all true wealth.
The mind of clever thinking isn't limited to global corporate financial control.
