On the degrading of lives by pharming psycho-emotional conflictf

People of Great Britain! Our Beast Descends Upon Your Children

My commenting into the above theme and comments:

I might call the blindness of the egocentric sense 'the evasion of responsibility under the belief that truth damns, is fearful and must be denied'. Power is then given to anything which 'saves us' from an exposure that our mind is predicated upon the avoidance of, escape from or hiding from.

This is 'running away' from a feared intimacy of being while believing we are as a diversionary surface mind paints itself.

But awakening responsibility is the revisiting or noticing of a fear-blind reaction of habit or conditioned thinking that owns what was ours all along - within the freedom to release it for a better choice than what was made under conditions of duress.

This demand for 'unconsciousness' via any and every means is active as the driver of our society, economy and world view. Its characteristic is blame and shame, with hate and pain running beneath. It seeks 'magical' ways to seem free without having to address the causes of limitation. It 'redistributes' denials in ways that seem to be positive assertions.

Abiding with, and feeling into the difficult, that otherwise triggers the recoil of our attention and the covering over with a judgemental narrative 'reality' is from a different foundation than the mind that believes it thinks alone. No matter how I or anyone may articulate the journey of willingness, there is no one can substitute for you own.

Alarmism feeds our fears and blames but a true alarm awakens to a present awareness from a misperception. The willingness for true presence is not a set of demands - but a willingness to release them when we notice we are enacting them.

Fear seems to be something that happens to us - but is truly something we set ourselves up to suffer the conflict of. Unlearning deeply trained habits is an orientation for Life and not a quick fix - but in any now moment the immediate result is of remembering and opening from our true willingness rather than persist a narrative sense of control under threat or siege.

Speaking truth to those who give power to a false sense of control as personal protection (at expense of true) needs to embody what we say and not just be right in a way that makes them wrong - even if they are identifying insanely. Or we join them.

Love is the capacity to be with what is real here - unconditionally - if only an instant -  and our willingness for true relation is not the same as fighting the shadows of what we most hate or abhor in ourselves. Our willingness is a channel through which Life moves and knows itself anew.

I have met deep psychic-emotional suffering in my life in a number of ways and find that that is part of waking up from being run by hidden fears. But the first such episode - whilst breaking of my personal and social sense of reality and the 'self' I seem to be in it - also opened a quality of truth or Life that for nothing would I want to cover over or lose... even though back then I was terrified and unmanned by my conflicted mind in being. So I never risked 'medical' or 'psychiatric 'help'. But I did experience deep helplessness over some years, that opened a living re-education.

I see that when I 'bottomed out' - a false foundation was fully exposed... and immediately replaced with true. This 'grace' is nothing to do with my deserving or any thought or act of my own - but an ancient hate was silently replaced by a present loving. That did in no way add to me in my being in the world - but it does abide beneath appearances as a basis for the undoing of what fear made - as it arises or unfolds in this or that situation, relationship or encounter.

To undo fear by acting from a different appreciation. To pause from making decisions when conflicted or emotionally triggered to react and feel for your willingness for true, for wholeness of being that always opens or stirs a recognition from which a good step can be taken.

Running on auto pilot seems easy because over millennia it has become entrained as a second nature. But its cost is a self-denial that inevitably rises from beneath while reflecting as our world - to deny and deprive us of our joy in freedom and recognition of Life in each other as our self.

Reversing this reversal first calls for a true foundation - and the rising in our world of the exposure of the false IS the Call to a true foundation - which IS the Call to Joy - though the 'ego' sees only the fear of loss of control. But what has this 'control' brought us, honestly? When fear calls for hiding, it delays healing to some other moment instead of accepting a fresh perspective upon this one.

As long as we think someone or something ELSE has to change, we persist in refusing our own transformation. What then is asked of us? Be sure you are never called upon to be someone you are NOT and so you recognize who you ARE as a resonance of freedom to BE who you are - regardless external circumstances - for you are the freedom that gives meaning as you are willing to accept it for yourself.

A deep sense of self-unworthiness is pervasive to the underside of the mask that looks out - whether conscious or not. Trying to cover over or fill a sense of lack only reinforces the belief in lack - even if you run a pharmaceutical company, are a doctor, a psychiatrist or under the belief you have become 'more' while others are 'less' and have the right or the duty to enforce their 'good' upon them.

Psychic-emotional conflict is the underlying need for reintegration and healing, even when there are physical manifestations to address within a larger picture of dis-ease. Yet everything that our 'mind' is and does is predicated upon denying the reliving of this - so at most we may 'see' it in 'others' and attempt to fix them. So we need a renewal of our mind rather than a new set of clothes for a naked wannabe emperor.

Fear runs its world through the mind that mask its fear and hides in appearances. So to be afraid and recognize it - is an awakening relative to merely running without recognition. If this is a beachhead, then commit to expand it - and notice where it is 'lost' to blame thinking. But also notice that when you are found again in your willingness - you are simply back on track and didn't 'go' anywhere while engaged in old habits. Let habits become choices and let choices become present alignment with a felt sense of worth - even if all that can be felt is that worthlessness feels crap and there must be another way to see than this.

Most 'politics' is a diversionary sideshow from political agenda masked in white coats! Discernment is KEY - but remember, it takes one to know one, so the discerning of true is not a guilting and manipulation agenda.

The 'capture' of the mind is reflected in the capture of the institutions that were intended to serve us. If you get me on this - USE awareness of deceits to uncover your own 'entanglements' or 'hidden correspondences'. Like a computer - look to the integrity of your thinking and be vigilant for back doors by which you are robbed of your peace and set in reaction to a false framing of your existence.

Nothing I wrote is about 'living up to' something that sets you up to fail. But persistent aligning in what you do enjoy or appreciate grows a base from which to be curious as to how you invalidate yourself. Perhaps blaming others as a cover story when you withdraw permission to be the true of you - and resenting them as a way of not addressing your issue directly?

The way to your brother is through the centre of You. Without the extension of worth, you cannot know you both have it - and are it. There is no 'private salvation' but fantasy thinking enacted over the unrecognised true. Hence the politics of private agenda is mutually agreed fantasy thinking passed off as a currency of legitimate exchange. So yes to the redemption of our word and world.

The social, economic and political effects of insane premises

I appreciated this comment into a thread on the use, abuse or malign misuse of 'antipsychotic' drugs - that I would term anti-psyche drugs.

As with the pharmaceutical industry, the fundamental reason for the distribution of neuroleptics by psychiatrists is economic.
1) Income
Prescribing neuroleptics takes a maximum of 1/4 hour per patient.
_ A psychotherapy session a minimum of 3/4 hour per patient.
By prescribing neuroleptics, the psychiatrist triple his income.
2) Social demand
By prescribing neuroleptics, the psychiatrist effectively solves a social problem in 70% of cases in the short term. This is the one and only thing the society asks of him.
3) Dependence
After some months of treatment, if the person stops gradually, the “relapse” rate is doubled for 18 months (Wunderink, 2007). If the person stops suddenly, the relapse rate is 75% in only 3 weeks.
By the neuroleptics, the psychiatrist is assured to retain a customer for many years. The legislation on forced and compulsory treatments plays exactly the same role.
The psychiatrist acts exactly like a street dealer and the state, instead of repressing the dealer, forces the drug addict to consume his toxic.
Addiction is not an undesirable effect for the psychiatrist: it is the very purpose of treatment.
Thus the question of neuroleptics is far from being exclusively scientific: it is above all an economic, political and social question.

The economic and political structure tends to define and frame perceived self interest so as to result in mind-share/market capture - and all of that is a form of mind control. The ideas generally under the heading of mind-control range from social engineering, PR, and narrative control - through to extremes such as MKUltra via the fragmentation of personality to program triggerable responses of otherwise suppressed or unconscious personality. In any case the nature of the control is coercive deceit.

Socialisation includes mind-control in all manner of ways - as part of induction and adaptation to a society predicated upon it as the means of the suppression of the feeling being and the limiting of consciousness to forms of substitution for genuine presence - and diversion from the inherent dissonance of a conflicted sense that becomes 'unconscious' while leaking out as undercurrent communication.

Coercion and deceit are part of the masking persona with which we become identified as our thinking - our core beliefs and accepted self-definitions which predicate our economic, political and social structures.

So an inability to maintain the mask of a kind of a mind-control already operating meets the energetics of guilted fear that operates a self-reinforcing negative. Now this is as true for the psychiatrist as the politician as the corporate, as the banker as the one whose life 'falls apart' or whose 'reality breaks down' or whose psychic-emotional conflicts overwhelm their capacity to manage their lives on their current basis.

However, mental illness - in the sense of psychic-emotional conflict - is crystallized in society AS society, AS an imposition of economic and political order. So waking up in self-responsibility from the prison of blame and shame is in one way or another stepping out of what seems a support network - even when it supports the sickness rather than the uncovering of health. This as true for a psychiatrist who loses the capacity to operate self-certainties of their own role, worth, world and meaning.

So I appreciate that what we see are the simple outcomes of the variables involved - and that while honesty of being is associated with penalty, sacrifice and loss it wont be taken up by directing more blame-hate at those whose perceptions confirm their beliefs - nor those who accept hurting or failing others is just part of the way power works.

So beneath the social realities are conflicted and conflicting unconscious beliefs that fragment our personae individually and collectively.

I see the demand for unconsciousness and the denial of consciousness as one event displaced to a fragmentation. They say 'be careful what you wish for' because you might get what you thought you wanted... and then wish to escape it.
But I say turn the wish or the pain of a wish denied - to a present willingness, a present receptivity to the movement of a true desire - which is recognized and felt directly as a sense of true connected being.

Who is not addicted to their own thinking? But socially acceptable addiction is invisible within its culture bubble. Awareness of the thinking rather than living as if in its bubble reality - grows the trust in an innate capacity to feel or discern a true resonance and join with what does, while releasing what does not - and bring curiosity to choices made or habits accepted that we say we do not want or that we recognize as being associated with painful consequence. Because there is more to uncover about what we actually believe beneath the masking defences beliefs inherently operate as part of bringing you the experience their perspective.

I articulate as words may but I could also say, "and an evil spell fell upon the minds of all who listened and believed they heard and received something new, something more and something special to this new sense of themself - such that they no longer remembered who they were - but through a distortion and no longer recognized themselves or each other in a world of their own personal sense of power - and the reflection of the use of such power in opposition, adversity, loss of support, betrayal, abandonment, malevolence and threat of pain, loss and death. Sometimes the righteous defender overrides the desperate but distorted attempt to regain a sense of selfworth, power or validity. But we all know the story - that seems to run itself and force us to play out its script - because we live its parts - however we mask or focus within some and hide (or hide in) others.

I feel the call to a culture of true support for being amidst an 'insane world'. So living that - anyway and in any way - is living from being - such as we are graced to notice, to accept and welcome by acting or embodying who we are - instead of struggling with who we are not. But of course we meet the insanity rather than operate over its suppression - and this is where the difference between my sense of self and reality - is recognizably out of true - though that knowing comes from a different sense of self than my thinking. But for me the device of hiding the insanity beneath the false flag of an evil ‘out there’ was not available though intensely felt - because something had woken in my life - as truly living - that I did not want to lose - even though I could not abide it or ‘handle it’ or fully accept and integrate it - all at once.
So I not only did not seek official ‘help’, for I did not want to be ‘put back’ into what I was before - nor did it occur to me to consider ‘medication’ - though for some time I was ‘unmanned’ (rendered helpless) by terror rising from loss of mind-control.
 But the ‘path’ that grew from a core recognition, grew in responsibility for fear in many of its forms of dysfunction - and over many years this ripened to a capacity to truly receive - and therfore share - in love. I’m not saying ‘happy ever after’ so much as Letting Life in and being aligned, guided and supported in being. And that this - whatever it may seem - is never a private outcome but is part of growing willingness in the world.

A community bus service calls in at all the various locations so that everyone has access. I see the same in our paths of development (intrapersonally) and relationally (interpersonally). For in love and truth these are two facets of one. But in my fear of withdrawal of support, I meet the ‘rejection’ or the ‘abandonment’ or even the ‘killer’ personality fragment of a match for something I am initially unaware of carrying. Of course they have their own scripts and shadow selves and the whole thing runs by reaction - such as to call on suppression and distanciation to limit the effects - while charging up the ‘engine’ of its expression beneath an assertive narrative identity/reality.

Different people need different approaches at different times of their life. Of myself I have said - looking back that “I was a hard nut to crack” - or that “it took whatever it took to bring me through to this present of feeling being - for although I clothe the meanings in words the gist is the meaning that is felt when the mind is a follower - not a leader. True desire is purposed on unified fulfilment - that attracts and aligns without coercion as an unfolding of fulfilment. Why waith for something to happen before you live the moment you have and are - even though it may contain elements of challenge and transformation or expansion to who you currently accept yourself to be.
