Hatred is NEVER truly shared

https://www.sott.net/article/412669-Is-the-end-of-free-speech-a-natural-solution-to-the-hatred-shared-online 

Hatred is NEVER truly shared but joined with as a subjugation of self for a sense of relative righteousness or superiority.

Hatred can and does set up the 'other' as a scapegoat or foil over and against which to assert a self raised upon their invalidation or denial.

The mind of hatred hides or masks in the forms or appearances of love or concern, in sympathy or protection - excepting when the 'evils of the other' justify attack in righteous and vengeful self-vindication.

The answer to hate speech is to not give it currency as anything worthy of joining with or under.
Don't join in hate, or you will forget who you are for the self hate gives you instead.

That there is hatred in the human heart is evident. The attempt to eradicate or deny hated evils on others and world is its destruction - and ours.
Facing or feeling our feeling, to uncover the beliefs and definitions that the feeling is the result of is bringing the dark to the light - regardless we hate to feel hateful - but BECAUSE we want to heal rather than hide or deny.
The attempt to bring light to darkness is entering a false frame of a personal sense of power that corrupts and makes sacrifice of light and life to conflict - which is the means of denying free awareness AS light.

Guilt and manipulation are anathema to communication because they call forth hatred and attack - as our triggered 'defence'.
The Internet cannot be allowed to serve communication, any more than the mind - for it would then uncover the lack of substance in the established order or 'authority', and so defences are triggered and the devices of denial are activated.

Free speech like any communication can be usurped by manipulative agenda - knowingly or otherwise. But then it is not free speech but an alloyed communication of both signal and noise OR no intent for communication at all, but simply leverage adopting the form of a communication.
I do not have to associate or join with anything that I feel undermines integrity in myself or others - but that does not mean I am in a position to judge others.

The wish to judge others and play in its fantasy or act it out upon them is the symptom of a lack of self integrality. But finding the sins of others and hating them there is not freeing ourself of our own, but it is a primary defence against our own exposure.

Self hatred is the underlying conflict that the world was made to hide. Everyone makes a slightly different world by nature of the particular forms of self judgement or rejection that set our personality structure. identifying in the mask is at the expense of sharing in the true. But within the mask there IS no truth but what is made up or used to mask in. If what we WANT is out of alignment with what we ARE then dissonance and conflict serve an eventual correction or healing. It may be RIGHT to want love, power and freedom - but completely wrong to set these in terms and conditions of futility and destructive or hateful assertion.

That a collective identity can generate a 'shutdown' of communication as a result of triggered fears is not obvious when everyone sees everyone else as being the cause or justification for polarising into hateful or exclusive identity.

Reversing the Purpose of Propaganda

in reply to commentary on:



It is true that a mind sees what it wants to see.
It is also true that neither this or the Sputnik article gives links to sources - but in the era of astroturfing - this becomes harder to validate.

Taken just as a story - and parsed for manipulative design and intent - I find the 'western' Media to be operating aggressive and destructive deceit or 'narrative control'.

The patterns of propaganda are recognisable in stirring fear, hatred and willingness to align in support of life-destructive acts.

When a would be unipolar dominance is targeting regions of non compliance to an ever tightening system of broad spectrum controls, it is appropriate for such regions to resist or not comply - while seeking for multipolar recognition. But all the Russian state has to do as propaganda is hold a narrative for Russia - they do not need to actively undermine the 'West' - for it is already undermined and operating a self-destructive or self-contradictory agenda - that is effectively capitalised and targeted to prepare the way for an acceptance of a global government - but... according to who's plan?
Russia's english news only need give a platform and a voice to those who are denied or walled out by their own Media - or rather by corporate media assets.

But your point regarding automatic acceptance is valid - even if your judgement casts you as the one calling everyone else sheep - as if you have never followed or responded to a suggestion without first checking in.

It may be that there are no real sides in any of the wars - soft or hard. Global finance has no allegiance to anything but temporary usefulness for ownership and control. What does it profit a man to gain a world at cost of Soul? A harvest of denial.

In a world of lies - how to know?
In a mind of lies - what seems to be an asset turns out to be a complex instrument of toxic debt.
That COULD be the way to wake up - because self-honesty is the grace of noticing.

It is easier to deceive a man than convince him he is already deceived (Twain).
How can a mind given to (accepting) deceit, lead to any other outcome than a world of lies?
But having made such a world (of denial) can it serve any other purpose than that which made it?

Purpose is not IN the world. Purpose is accepted in and as the mind. Whatever anyone else chooses - you are the determiner of the purpose you accept for you.
By investing personal identity in private possession and control - is power given to conditions and interpretations of feared, wished or imagined meanings as if to protect and extend our self-investment - and thus become subject to a world set outside ourselves - and then seek to adapt to, escape, or overcome by opposing.

But still within the original 'error' of the belief in possession and control - which reveals itself as a false possession that dispossesses us of whole Souled awareness, set under a tyrannous substitution for the true and free will - or the grace of noticing and aligning in a true recognition.

Media Integrity

A Guardian article on Trump, media power and social networking


My comment:


The term mainstream media is increasingly used to lump all of it together regardless its token 'regionalism' in terms of political or populist flavours. This because 'power agenda' rather than real relationship is becoming increasingly apparent. Honesty, integrity and honour are foundation without which lies become accepted currency and blame the method of self-righteous assertion.

Controlling the narrative is a power agenda. That various factions contest this may actually indicate power struggle within the elitists but more often is a screen reality by which to divide and rule unseen while diverting attention to proxy diversions.

Speaking truth to power is something a journalist could aspire to - for otherwise he or she becomes the controlled asset that is trained and relied upon to know where the line is and to keep their career. It is very complex because our consciousness is very complex - but the simplicity is that where there is no thirst for truth, lies will be suckled that prop up self-illusion, and where there is thirst for truth - Life will be invoked and manifested that does not share in that self-illusion - and it will come through all sorts of unexpected agencies or channels of synchronicities that do not pigeon-hole into the compartmentalised mind that is conformed to a power agenda rather than a real relationship.

Instead of filtering Trump - or any other phenomena of our times - into the establishment narrative - why not see the cultural currents that are embodying there? For it is the thirst that draws the embodiment - not an individual  acting powerful - and yet that thirst can also be distorted and filtered by what it judges against , rather than reading energetically.

The denial of the movement of Life is always the demonizing that generates the demonic reflected reaction - and that then sabotages and undermines what we thought to keep for ourselves. Yes there are particles or particular instances - but look at the wave. Or carry on playing out the good v evil narrative that serves to dictate power by invalidating and yes- hating others.

Communication and Humanity

This from the Media Lens Forum
Guardian "Comment is Free" censorship
on the issue of comment allowed or disallowed in Guardian and other sites.



I feel that the lack of opportunity to comment in any 'news' site that has commenting is a clear indication of disallowing either open public comment or to give room for issues to be raised and voices to be heard.
Denying voice is not usually considered censorship when there is a broad support for it - ie: denying a platform to the far Right. (Denying voice to any perceived threat to dominant reality paradigm)
Some subjects - such as Israel and anything associated with Jewish power agenda are considered out of bounds - and that is not helped by rabid hate messages - real or manufactured - that arise within any arena of denial. For it goes with the territory. Anti- Semitism is a necessary device to make 'terrorists (haters) of
Whenever coercive assertions of narrative deny other voices, blame and hatred arise.

I would love to see (and so I seed) a culture for humanity grow that honoured communication and practised expressing their perspective and arriving at outcomes without resorting to the dark arts as exemplified by Shopenhauer's "28 ways to win an argument" - which was originally titled otherwise and compiled to educate and pre arm towards recognizing when tricks are being employed and so not take their bait. However, I feel that a love of truth and a willingness for self-honesty opens a discernment that is native to us - but which has been covered over and distorted by the confusions of identifying in persona, and that is to be able to feel when someone is coming from an unloving disintegrity - and I use the word unloving to include all hateful forms of apparently rational or apparently communicating device.

Reclaiming language FOR communication - releases the use of it for war. It may seem that one surely has to fight for truth - but I feel that a poor choice of words; one stands or abides in truth or at least in willingness for truth.

I have found that anything arising from a truly shared communication will be an honourable outcome and that the only way that this can occur in is through a true presence extended. Not some perfect blameless faultless 'presence' but an honest sense of where we are at right now and a willingness to receive new information and perspective, whilst not withholding our own. Blame culture actively suppresses any healing potential.

Whenever I see true willingness embodied I am inspired - and so Corbyn inspires me by his unwillingness to sacrifice his presence to presentation - and is therefore embodying Humanity rather than a PR puppet. So I have more trust in him engaging in a genuine debate than those who learn to play the doublespeak of appealing to some narrative while operating hidden agenda - regardless whether they are covering their arse, lining their pocket or in cahoots with soul-less agenda that holds humanity in contempt.

Anyone who embraces communication in the way I suggest will find it transformative. At least that is my witness. I believe that when our minds are allowed to be blind to hate agenda disguised in self-supporting narrative - we become a part of and supportive of hate agenda at large. Much of this is very subtly disguised.

I can and do attempt to write in ways that link the consciousness within to the reflections of our world without. Power seekers have great insight into our guilt fear and shame triggers - but they cannot use this to free themselves and others because they are unwilling to look within and challenge the 'narrative' script of conditionings that considers that weakness or opening to threat of exposure by which power is lost.

Quality forum communications have willingness to share rather than predisposition to pre-emptive attack. Just as fake financial trickery is being exposed as less than worthless (costing the worth), so the currency of fake communication can be brought to light - without inciting hate and blame.

Our Humanity is at stake if we do not reclaim and extend its witness. While anonymous Guardian Staff posting may be a siege mentality amidst an increasing sense of hostility from those who don't conform to the tacit narratives that they are in effect complying with, we can all notice that self-protective urge to avoid exposure to an expected hateful rejection within ourselves. That is a point worthy of more awareness and discernment - for to go forth in a un-owned hate - will assuredly be picked up on and reflected - identified with and suffered.

No problems with having hateful feelings - apart from of course that they are intolerable - for it is the directing and acting out of such hate onto the Living that doesn't allow greater insight into our part within the trigger that the outer situation activates. I hate THAT hate operates so invisibly and unchallenged in the name of love (protection) or respectability - but most of all and firstly I hate it when I let such deceits rob me of my Life - of my tangibly felt presence in living the day at hand. I hate what seems evil in me - and so much so that it is censored from my surface awareness by being denied, pushed down or away in projection upon the world of others. I don't want to give that much power to evil in me - and so it has to be censored from operating as my own thoughts. Mindfulness can feel the difference and the more such responsibility is acted upon - the more presence is regained from conditioned reaction.

Whilst the narrative of rational power over Life has been of a 'rising' to the apex of evolution, consciousness in its true sense has been robbed from within. Not least by the corruption of the role of guardianship to prison guard.

Radicalising and polarising populations at home and abroad

Britain mulls steps to combat extremism

This just happens to link to a site that allows comments. The story in all the main media outlets had no comments. It is always revealing as to what articles are allowed or are not allowed comments. What is revealed is that media publishers are not offering independent journalism but are effectively agents of the agenda of others, whether by conscious agreement or in a sense of self-protection amidst otherwise negative consequence.

- - -


Coercion breeds equal and opposite reaction. Only a fool would not see the program of radicalising and polarising populations at home and abroad. War is not firstly upon 'others' but upon truth - or rather upon a true appreciation of Consciousness.
Communication is not a weapon. Communication is an expression and embodiment of relationship.
Now one may not want to communicate or be seen to be in relationship with that which is hated, feared, opposed, but at the level of idea there is no compartment in which to imprison the hated - but the attempt to do so WILL imprison oneself.
Ignorance of one's true appreciation of Consciousness - and consequent arrogances arising from distorted sense of self, lead to any and every kind of negative intent, act and outcome.
Terrorism is not on one side of a divide with legitimacy on the other. Terrorism is the raw attempt to coerce others with terror or fear, into compliance - or indeed to undermine their cooperative communications so as to become manipulatable via fear - or as an act of hate-revenge for believed injustices that otherwise cannot be resolved or that refuse to resolve through communication.
Coercion can be enacted upon individuals as a promise of power coupled with a sense of self-specialness. If persuasion fails they can be threatened with fearful consequence or set up to become hostage to exposures about them that would cost their career, relationships and reputation.
Trickery and deception are the dark 'arts' of power. When the ends are used to justify any means, corruption has hollowed out the governance that was trusted to serve. The deceiver is not a new idea, but will operate through ever new forms of apparent righteousness and protection.
First, look within in direct honest willingness, THEN look out with some sense of integrity. On cannot GET integrity by painting and opposing 'evil' in others. One will only witness one does not HAVE it by the attempt to coerce perceptions.
