Locked into war?

Tech firms need to fight jihadist material online says David Cameron

UK prime minister unveils joint initiative with Australia to ensure that internet does not become “an ungoverned space”

This article is buried in a misleading headline, for what it actually reports of Mr Cameron's plans goes far beyond tech firms being compelled to censor the Net.

 “If we are to bust the myths that stand in the way of the great new trade and investment deals now before us".

The "we" and the "us" surely refers to what might be colloquially called gangster elitists and the rest are "busted".

The tempter suggests with isistence (oops! that was a slip of the fingers) - that "the country" - well, most of the globe really -  is being locked into "an idealogical war" from which opting out will be denied - IF of course we do no opt out while the trap is not fully set.

I'm quite willing to accept that otherwise honourable and loveable people can be conditioned or in some sense subverted and corrupted by insider dealings that seem to make sense in the forms they are framed.

But how far can a mind stretch in knowingly speaking out the sense-less because some alternative scenario insists that to not do so is worse?

Un-owned fear is the 'cause' of projected hatred.
Of course one acts to side WITH freedom - even if we are clumsy or imperfect in so doing. But to FIGHT for freedom is to make war the only freedom.

No one can give what they do no have. A greater perspective will not come from the fear-driven, and a blindness of self-agenda will not serve excepting to demonstrate a lack of wholeness of mind - the alarm of which serves to awaken the NEED for Perspective - unless it is used to perpetuate war.

Double-speak - double-think is the ideology of a split mind - regardless of its flag or label. Ideology is dead - long live the king of negatively defined ideology. We now have none of our own and have to import it from opposing IS.

The negatively defined self IS the root problem. All split polarities feed each other to mutually reinforce identities that otherwise disintegrate.

This kind of thinking has been engaged, employed and developed for a long time. If it is not disengaged from operating in our own minds we will be baited into reactive futility. My invitation is to pause in the idea that one is not locked into personal reaction, but can pause our own 'thinking in its liability to doublespeak us falsely, and allow perspective in which we feel connected not with energy of self righteous vindication, but with a core sense of value that MUST extend and include others - even if they suffer thought disordered estrangement from such value in themselves.

Mad or delusional identity takes any form of multiple personalities to assert a coercive agenda. In desperation it becomes more obviously deranged and dangerous. But the answer to danger is a true accounting and this the moneylenders in the template will not allow. So look to the altar of your own devotions and dedications in life and see that all is facing in one unified purpose - for if not, your dial is set to another channel and doublespeak is all that will be heard. It really is a matter of choice - and not coercion - but to know that one has to step out of the framework of a coercive deception. This goes far beyond the particulars of the political shenanigans - yet is contained within it and within all that likewise teaches fear as its power and protector and its god.
Fear must be faced within a true accounting for a grounded and true perspective to emerge. Proxy parents who seek to make children in their own image" deny the very power of living in exchange for delusions of power that evaporate as quickly as they arise. They also become intolerably burdened with controlling what is completely beyond control. Life is not coercion. But we are free to choose to give our power away to that which then gives back in the same measure we give out.  True governance must serve the whole - not the notional security of the undue influence of a private agenda which cares nothing whatsoever for aught but itself and sacrifices its own as easily. This indeed is 'locked in' and cannot or dare not even imagine escape.

The ancients said 'as above, so below' speaking originally of the Creative that we might call 'within' but not within our framework of thinking. But a within from which one can observe the thoughts that otherwise deceive. The politics of our world will reflect the politics of our consciousness and our true freedom is not to rearrange the political furniture but to embrace a communication within our own being in which coercion is put aside. For the two are mutually exclusive. If truth is the first casualty of war - then no less is war is the first casualty of truth. If it is not a war - then it is a belief in war being played out by deception. The idea of deception is not a new one - but the height of folly is to presume the deceiver left our mind when we decided we were rational beings. Reason is a sanity of heart and mind as one. A truly joyful and extending presence does not need to define truth, but shares it wordlessly and can listen to people of every kind of tongue. 

Private - I - sation of true relational service

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/nhs-should-be-run-like-tesco-claims-reform-think-tank-9544028.html



What ACTUALLY occurs as a result of privatisation tends to be a corporate asset stripping and downsizing that turns LIFE into CASH into DEBT.

What is called for is a RE-alignment with true purpose.

WHAT is HEALTH? - and our individual and collective responsibility for promoting and extending it? What is the remit of a NHS.

Be aware that the taxpayer funds a system that pours money into a racket that makes us sick and herds us into managements systems for an ever more mechanised and medicalised definition of human being.

Our thinking is sick and needs to be reevaluated at its foundation. Consciousness responsibility is first awakened consciousness - but the word conscious is now presumed or applied to conditioned mentality that is indeed a mechanical and manipulatable system.

The coercive manipulation of human being is practised at many levels, as if second nature, and without recognition of its true costs and illusory benefit.

Those who believe and act out 'dog eat dog' = Human Being are only able to deliver forms of war in various disguises of 'balancing interests'.

The heart knows better, but we (generally) don't trust it because we are not in control (coercion) nor hold its ways to account (control). BUT the true and tangible presence of compassion, caring, of offering a genuine service and embodying cultural values in shared purpose, is SELF EVIDENT and needs to be the CONTEXT in which our various skills, abilities and decisions are brought into play.

However this requires a significant EDUCATION from the mentality that acts lovelessly (without true self-responsibility) and demands that others with drugs and hi-technology support it's habit.

A process of education is not coercively applied but willingly embraced and SHARED. Mistakes are PART of and true opportunity FOR LEARNING! Blame culture is anathema to growing trust, facilitating genuine communication and healthy outcome - but is the inevitable symptom of a fearfully coercive and manipulative mentality. LEARN from the symptoms for they are messengers for the heart's realignment.

Political Bankruptsy

The current set of ideas in orthodox political thought are as bankrupt as the financial system that subverted and distorted them from their original inspirations.

Such 'politics' is a politics of perception modelling and management; the art of masking and manipulating one's actual agenda, which is one of fear, power and control.

Uncovering this aspect of our human conditioning can support the idea that we are a machine running according to laws that can be determined and thus used to control society in ways that 'save us' from the evils which frustrated or undermined 'progress'.

This idea seduces those who themselves have not owned their own fears and who cling to identities of control that select and project particular evils that are then to be eradicated.

Behind the idealists are those who fund, nurture, subvert and infiltrate, so as to use the self-blinded to serve a power agenda - which has absolutely no allegiance to the ideals excepting while it serves their interest to seem to do so.

The systems that are supposed to eradicate or defend against evils have become systems that propagate and perpetuate them. They become 'rackets'.

But whereas a few bad apples can be flushed out, systemic corruption is a pervasive mental blindness that defends against being exposed.

The appeal to government to protect us from our fears, brings a kind of governance that 'manages' our perceptions and 'protects' us from our true freedom.

Only the willingness to own our own fears and move through them, allows freedom. Freedom is being who you are rather than attempting to fit into what you are not. The latter does not support health and well being, it can only fail, over and over again.

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.

Humanity a plague on the Earth?

Sir David Attenborough, Naturalist And Filmmaker, Calls Humanity 'A Plague On The Earth'


Comment:

I invite you to pause a moment and reflect that it is not humans that are the sickness - but our thinking. And the false identities that arise from such thinking.
There are parasites that are known to influence the mind and behaviour of their host so as to act in their interest and not the host's.
So it is with the mindset that has cuckolded our true thinking and turned us into blind 'getters' that make a prodigal wastrel - and wasteland - in place of a cooperative participant in the Presence of Life - of which we are expressions - whether we think so or not.

Part of the nature of these thoughts that are not true connected thinking, is that they steal our (awareness and appreciation of) Soul in exchange for empty promises that then enslave us and deal death through our hands and machinations - including that of the the host (ourselves). This pattern of thinking seeds itself in the new generations and doesn't care what side of a conflict it takes as long as conflict persists. For these thoughts are of course conflict-thoughts or wishes, given priority over true relation.

This 'self' that seems to be an organic survival mechanism is indeed 'going forth and multiplying' - for such is the Nature of Life and indeed Mind - only that which is being seeded is a kind of thinking that is divorced from the heart - and indeed believes itself successfully separated from the Life - of which it is expression and which is its true source and nature - even while a virtual layer of thought and experience is engaged and lived as if IT was Real.

One of the 'answers' that conflicted-thinking offers - if it cannot see a way to survive and prevail in its illusion of independence and control - is suicide. This can be done in all manner of ways - and the deceptive ingenuity of conflicted thinking is in one knowing not what one actually does. This is because in any clarity of awareness the costs of following such thinking is deeply painful and insanely meaningless. So distractions that effectively filter, distort or shut off awareness are absolutely required as defence from such felt distress. Where the miracle and wonder of life breaks through, or is accepted, it is compartmentalized and inhibited in its transfer of wisdom to the whole.

The Good News is that regardless of being so poor in Spirit - are you all blessed. For what you thought to have lost - or choose to believe never existed - or has nothing to do with YOU - is simply covered over - (you got it!) - with a false thinking of a sense of self that is made to look away from its source and 'survive' as a separated life - in competition with Life and all lives.

I invite you to pause of your desire to rid the Earth of humans or of yourself and instead rid yourself of this mindset. Not by struggle or righteous crusade - not in some movement of idealistic problem solving, but simply by learning to recognize the thoughts that come from a fearful and manipulative mask - and desisting from employing them or investing further in them.

If you think not - the 'Bridegroom comes'. Why? - because there is that of your true Nature that rises to your awareness of itself when it is no longer suppressed. And it rises in ways that are appropriate and encouraging and practical to your real life. The one that is your real presence and passion expressing.

Nothing that I say is really new - but this fear-thinking is old tired and stale. Perhaps long ago it was a kind of game for thrills, but over time we became identified and addicted to it. Addicted until - that is - a different foundation appears where the false one had always seemed to be!

Look at your mind - your thinking - your defence and masking mechanisms - and see if you don't find the seeds of everything in the world within you that you judge against. This requires that you can allow yourself to be honestly aware in the midst of conditioned triggers of opinion, predjudice and self protective denials or assertions.

Now we are the one that chooses to subscribe - no matter how much power of belief we give to our thoughts. Yes we are conditioned - and also we are rooted in an Awareness that we do not create - nor really control. The illusion of control was one of the empty promises whereby we 'turned away' from the context and dimension of our feeling being. And still is.

This egocentric aspect is not evil so much as imaginary. But when You identify with asserting or opposing it, there is no communicating with you until your bubble either pops or becomes porous to the depth of You.

This writing does not set out to convince you of God - a unified conscious meaning that simply cannot Be translated or rendered into conflict-thinking - because such thinking is designed to blanket. (blank it). You have to metaphorically 'put the gun down' and calm in order to feel and know what is truly natural to you - and THEN you will be restored to your innate capacity to feel your way in a wholeness of being… in a tangible and communicated presence of life. Everything functions now in a way that all the kings horses and all the kings men - can NEVER put together.

This IS a 'prodigal moment' in our times. Trade in your toxic debt for true Relation. This has nothing to do with believing in the head - excepting to question ALL of the believing of the head and bring it to true account in the discernment of the heart. This does NOT require a Phd - just an honest willingness to uncover truth beyond mutually self serving definitions.

Thinking needs to extend out-from a truly relational connectedness - or communioned-ness. Expressing real relation.
The call to rest has never been more urgent. Don't just do something - stand there!

Thankyou for your attention

Whats in your iPhone (Nation of Change article)

Corporate mind = consumer mind. What is missing from this is reality.
Reality is participation and relationship.
The divide and rule mentality is one with guilt and fear - and can easily trigger and manipulate its subscribers with false righteousness or fear of loss.

In this case Jobs gave a succinct answer based on the consciousness of the times and its resultant trends.
Nations are identities of perception that run as a virtual mind and become assigned different functions by the PURPOSE that is active in the world mind.

My primary point is that not unlike a botnet, we are all hooked up by default into a mind that accepts private self interest, fear and guilt, as the power that rules our own perceptions. So it isn't surprising that we find this reflected in our world.
To uncover the reflections in the world of action, that reflect the values of the mind in secret, is disturbing, dissonant and usually we want to cover over or escape those feeling asap!
But to really allow awareness in, one has to put down the judge, the blaming and excommunicating of the heart.
In the world, do what the current level of awareness allows with what trust and care as can be found - but don't be programmed by your own thinking unless you really have discerned the Source of a Unified Consciousness - in which case there's no need to think so much as share, in whatever ways are your ways and the ways of those you meet.
Whenever the source of trouble seems to be (exclusively) External to our mind - there is a payoff going on in secret. Yes the secret 1%!
What is reflected is a map to our own mind - IF - you are willing to step outside of a self protectiveness that - hasn't protected you, that uses you, and your relationships - in your name!
There is an Already Wholeness available as guidance and as our awakening - but it is not 'out there'. The world of perception is designed to distract attention from Wholeness of Being, which is the only thing really going on - but is being used by a way of thinking that covers it over and makes us alien to our own Self.
I don't ask for believing, just for questioning down to the very roots.
Insanity demands a radical re evaluation - and insanity is not the means to conduct that task!

On the insanity of the guman in Norway

I would see Insanity as a dissociated mentality, a delusional mind - in which a sense of self is acted out or presented to itself that both feeds its own delusion - in terms of the wish to become meaningful or powerful - and acts out from its thoughts as if they were real.

I would generally see this mentality as a pervasive liability to us all - of which we are generally unaware - whilst playing out the role that it gives us. We may see some of its activity - but the uncovering of our mind to our awareness is generally highly resisted, defended against, taboo.

One of the ways that deception 'works', is in projecting the hateful - feared in our own mind - onto others. This sets up a survival investment in identifying with an externalised demand for fixing or overcoming the hateful - that now seems really 'out there' in personal as well as experiential terms - and denies opportunity for true healing.

Many in the world use deception as a manipulative device all the time - but in the belief that they themselves are one up in the game - or hope to become so. The desire to become special or 'win' the game of life is a deep set urge or wish regardless of the arena or scale in which it acts out.

If the very fabric of trust upon which any residual sanity remains - continues to be eroded by the increasingly fearful attempts to manipulate others and our own perceptions - as if that were somehow controlling reality - then the seeming pockets of a capacity to manage will become increasing besieged by breakdown and disorder.

To those committed to resolving externally, this is felt as a rising call to arms or to ever more fearful defence - at cost of our innate capacity to establish trust as the basis of communication.
BUT many are feeling a call to look within, to re evaluate the foundations of their thinking and uncover a true basis for sanity or integrity and trust in their own experience and in their relationships. This is a grass roots awakening.

Of course we deal with what arises to be dealt with, but unless there is a measure of a true sanity in place of a self-fulfilling and dissociated wilfulness of self - our actions will feed the fires that burn us, instead of growing in the wisdom to discern the best step as it needs to be taken.

To love to hate, as if that is love, and to hate to love as if love were weakness, heresy, or an outright assault on the very underpinnings of one's 'sanity' is the mark of enslavement to fear - where one's thoughts operate a tyranny so dense that hardly anything of love's reality can find welcome.

In the buildup of electrical charge, the path that is taken by lightning is simply that of the available circuit. As the charge of fear and hate is grown and fed - there are innumerable circuits available in many aspects of our living. It is a mistake to think one can eradicate evil by war - though lawlessness needs to meet a communication of limitation and restraint. And the managed war of modern social manipulations and controls is no less war for being conducted at a subtler level than brute force.

We all share in making our experience of our world - but not blame. Blame is the sickness of guilt and cannot serve true responsibility - which is an awakened love and not a coercive will upon our evil liabilities.

Such events speak to me as a deep and clear call for uncovering and sharing a greater Sanity - a unified and wholehearted witness to life in place of a self conflicted delusion. The desire for this is itself a creative act that replaces the desire for playing out the game of self interest at the expense of our true commonwealth.

Thank you for your attention

Global Warning and waking up

I wrote this from a realisation that, of course I am a crank relative to scientific thinking - for denying false premises consciously surrenders the mind and opens the heart to Listen.

...

Scientific vision is a Dalek's eye view of the world, no matter how many Daleks corroborate results. I don't accept it's basis as applicable to anything other than mechanism - which it secretly seeks to manipulate in the same old wish to have power to 'create' its own life and world that Adam and Eve got lost in.

I see mechanism as the servant of desire. In other words, I see the experience of the world as serving the active seed desire that brings forth its experience. Such a notion is utterly preposterous to a mind that believes the world is real and out there - apart from and unrelated in kind to the awareness in which it is experienced.

Where does your awareness arise? Do you rest in it as the very Source and Nature of Life or do you live imaginatively via the experience of your own 'mind'?

A mind that believes it already knows is in negative or self validating loop until it questions the very basis by which it thinks. And its creative function is hidden while it 'lives' within its own programming. I guess I have to seem like someone who thinks he knows (smile). But I am simply seeking to articulate meanings that are available to discern regardless of the forms they are clothed in. I feel desire to share what we truly are in common and calm the fearful storms that we feed unknowingly.

 That makes me a crank whose willingness opens relational space where others assert mechanism. I participate inherently with you in Living unified being where others see only a world of things to exploit for private and selfish ends, as a programmed sense of self that is rarely truly observed, enquired of or transcended in true responsibility - in a true love of Life.

This would be the domain of religion, but doesn't the same program tend to run there too? - and be sanctified by fearfully interpreted guidances? - so as to cultivate a special sense of oneself, one's group, one's rightness or superiority.

Truth is the first casualty of war in that a mind can war itself unknowing only when it elects to give preferences to its own definitions over the actuality of this intimate and innocent experience. 

Global Warning is both a crisis of opportunity and of danger. Alarm can induce panic reaction or can call awake. Watching the mind (within or 'without') and praying (resting in the natural communioned trust of the heart). Is of the innate integrity of our being and is not belief based or mixed up in magical associations of a personal salve. It is the willingness to truly Listen - instead of thinking, opinionating, self validating or reacting to what is arising in awareness.

This is where Inspiration and guidance will be felt. And the Movement by which it is felt will clearly be of a wholeness of being that encourages, inspires and grows a presence of practical application to the whole of what is going on and not a Dalek's eye view. The old mind will scream - but this step is breaking bounds with an ancient taboo - so no surprise there!

It is never to late to begin anew. Cast your nets here and see what you will find.

The face of politics?

Puppet regimes may be given a certain amount of leeway - as long as in every important respect they act according to their master's mandate.

Politicians do not exist or act in a vacuum - but attract and express support for the interests that they serve. The clever way to enslave people is to do so with the belief that they are free - and to hook them into dependance and indebtedness after asset stripping anything that can be turned into cash.

'Democracy' is no longer an appeal to reasoned participation and communication - but is more about 'mind-control'. So to put a 'frontman or woman' as the public face is no longer about appealing to reason - for reason is not the friend to wishful thinking.

Exceptionalism is a sense of being special, different and superior to others. It can arise from an inspirational source - but it blocks further inspiration and works against genuine communication and cooperation.

Opinions are fluff. Yet the world can 'trade' in fluff and assume postures of meaningful gravitas.

For my part, I feel the American Dream is over. Past it sell by date. hanging onto it is a way to become increasingly dissociated. The Western dream is over. The ideas that formed it are no longer currency.

What arises when the old order crumbles? Well that depends on the willingness to find out - and on active faith in Life beyond our human folly. The old thinking doesn't find or hold the new wine.

It merely polarises into a set that excludes any real enquiry or communication. Because it expresses a fear of and unwillingness to ... change.

The times they have a changed - but what grows here in this new mind we've uncovered - that really works/ Not 'works to keep the facades up a bit longer' - but really works.
It all comes down the the underlying purpose that we hold dear.
'self interest' runs amok and undermines everything - when taken out of its living context.
Perhaps we will rediscover that context out of dire necessity.

Tea Party, media circus, celeb politics and egomania

Believing in something might be an inspiration. But if, when you look at it, it gets all its juice from needing to oppose or hate, then hey ho! - it's more of the same old con that incites fear or hatred in order to then win allegiance or undermine the perceived 'enemy'.
But this increasingly becomes - not an issue of principle - but of a clash of illusions - each promoting their own brand of - the same old con.

One of the good things about insanity coming into the open is that beliefs that programmed society but have become degraded by mis use can be released of authority and the true values that they originally represented can be uncovered and the value lived out - shared - not as persuasion via manipulative intent - but in peace.

Peace is where sanity is.

'Masturbation' can also be used as a symbol of self regarding fantasy. Who, reading this will cast the first stone?

Rather than use some degraded idea of 'sin' as a mudslinging tactic - I'd just say that self regarding fantasy is something the mind can engage in - but it's a disconnect with actuality - being only an imaginative 'reality'. If enough people agree they can role play. If they then agree to disagree, they can also role play.

In an insane mind, anything can mean anything - though the ones who believe their enemy is here! - now there! - and them! - and also those others! Do believe it - and experience it as if it were real.

Communication cannot occur until there is some willingness to calm, regain a measure of trust and see the value in acting in new ways that do not escalate fear.

Hey! - is anyone listening?
