Fearful tactic

The US Is Recovering but Britain Isn't? Don't Believe It

(Propaganda about economies recovering as fear management and coercive intent)

This reminds me of the Israeli's 'Peace talks'. Enough of a seeming 'process' to maintain residual attention and investment in, while being played only as a power move without any integrity or actual credibility.

To Lulu below: ( A problem can't be fixed using the methods and mindsets that created it.)

In broad terms, yes of course but...

A problem is the mindset within which it cannot be seen for what it is.

The attempt to maintain the asserted framework when it is exposed as invalid calls up the 'problem solving mentality' in substitute for free ranging creative discernment and imagination.

The idea that we (collectively) are already indentured by debt and addicted to a system that perpetuates it render collective decisions for health unimaginable... unless a significant shift occurs that disengages the framework of reactive coercion. (Which masquerades as substitutes for freedom, power and protection).

The framework is a network of definitions of self in relation to existence and world and each other. The belief in loss and the fear of total loss, give rise to the predatory mentality in which everyone seeks not to be the loser - or to totally lose - and thus loses sight (belief) in win-win. To play NOT to lose is completely different from playing to win.

The essential wealth that we grow is what we put forth to multiply.

At the level of idea and definition, we have put forth ideas that multiply lack.

The level at which we create/choose modalities that bring conflicted and dissonant outcome-experiences is the level to re-waken AS. As long as we play victim and invest blame, seeking vengeance or justice in terms of the past - we effectively refuse to wake up to our core consciousness responsibility - and persist in the mode of leveraging our own consciousness and others coercively from a negatively defined (joyless) 'perspective'.

'Jesus' wont kick the door in, but when the 'devil breaks in to take his own', it is really the disintegration of fearful segregation that can not recognize itself truly - but persists in the persona of fear as if that is the self to be 'saved'.

There is even the knowledge that such self is a sham - and yet until curiosity gets the better of us - the sham is worshipped as power over the loss of our 'controls' and exposure of our powerlessness.

Paradoxically, the acceptance of powerlessness restores the power of a unified consciousness. It is the attempt to coerce Life from the personality level that results in chaotic chain reactions. Pride, vanity and arrogance.

One more thing... the attempt to eradicate the negative (segregating) choice is what empowers it with charge.

All choices being equal - what will you choose? As choices this IS always our creative threshold, but our current 'past definitions' weight our choices such as to make us rats in a maze from which we cannot escape... unless we become curious as to our core beliefs and challenge them in the light of a truly aligned CURRENT choice!

The folly of solutionism

Commenting to the ideas raised in the folly of solutionism, with  a perspective that is not merely looking at political or techno-political solutions - but addressing the roots of problematic identity at the level of consciousness:


The design-intent of the human consciousness, is to 'solve' its problem 'outside itself' or externally.
It's problem is single - being its identity with conflicted opposition to itself and within itself - and yet the denial and obfuscation of this problem is the first 'solution', which brings with it a multiplicity of problems.
To attempt to articulate on this root level here might be fruitless as our human aculturation is conditioned to already 'agree' to all 'look the other way' rather than undermine our perceived separate self interests.

But the gist is that there is a heavy investment of such self interest - passing as protective advantage to a mode of identity that is itself held un-negotiable - which demands that attention from an inner conflictedness be displaced to external causes and solution.

So there is an aspect of problem solving that works as a smokescreen and diversionary tactic - and indeed an insistence that the problem be kicked out into long grass where it can NOT be solved because the problem is actually within our consciousness.
Consciousness might be a misnomer for something that is attempting to make a mechanism of control amidst what ultimately and only is a function of awareness and attention.

The identification with 'being in control' is a sense of 'power over' life and indeed that power, seen in others or externally is experienced as problematic! But it is also addictive as self reinforcing loops of experience and act.

'Thinking outside the box' is a phrase that can indicate THERE IS A BOX, in terms of an active running self-limiting and mechanical consciousness or conditioning. The default aim of the human mind in ignorance, is to survive and prevail WITHIN the BOX, and to thus keep unconscious, the awareness of the actual nature of the box by externalising its thought and identifying exclusively with those aspects that seem to be
most associated with a personal sense of control.

This is a Dalek's eye view of a Living Universe that cannot feel nor recognize its connectedness, but seeks to imposes its mind - of definition and function - upon life itself.
Yet this spark of life IS its life and yet applies this love-connection only to its own thought-constructs and their logical extensions.

Wanting solutions that keep the dream of a life from waking up (as if that were death or worse than death), is WANTING UNCONSCIOUSNESS to be maintained in the forms of a consciousness that actually does NOT join or truly share Life.

But this MUST disintegrate, because it is all based upon untruth, which requires ever more sacrifice of what IS true to feed its 'habit'. And even the ingenuity of imaginative reframing and redistribution of problems cannot substitute for joy, true rested peace, tangibly grateful loving - or any other quality of Life.

Now problems that are mechanical can be solved - such as how best to peel a potato. But these are blind (in that they presume the potatoes need to be peeled).

Asking real questions is part of getting real answers and the first part of that is a real desire to connect with a SHARED answer. Because the search for the solution in private self-terms is the first error or a mind that thought itself separate from all else that lives or has its being in the awareness of Life.
