The Collective Experiment is Earth

The Collective Experiment on Earth

#1 Overlooking Individual Experience within a limited concept of individuality:

"The individual has been overlooked".

This is only believable and experience-able within a collectivist redefinition of individuality.

Individuality is not a body OR a mind OR feelings - but the balanced embrace AND transcendence of an Indivisibility.

Running a COPY in concept-mind opens to the warring of conflicting concepts in division - and all the experience of such a focus with limiting definition. But a definition is never the Thing Itself - which remains indivisible - regardless the or perspective that any definition opens as experience.

All thinking is in the terms and the nature of its foundation. We seem to have two foundations competing: one is self-concept and the other is a prior quality or integrity of being that operates the reintegration of self identification within concept to an expansion of Re-Cognition and Re-membering. Looking for this in the 'world' is reinforcing the belief it is not already true of You.

Getting your head around this is the wrong direction excepting to realize the call to deeply and truly release the attempt to get ahead of yourself - which is the belief or fear in a sense of lack or loss or a missed appointment.

What is the 'problem' is a unique opportunity for me to recognize something in myself that is out of true in my beliefs about my self, my mind, my world?

When painted into a corner, the only direction left is Consciousness itself. Not in concept - but energetically - for we are already being 'lived and breathed' not by 'Other' but by an Individuality that has been overlooked, redefined, ad actively denied - and even 'crucified' - that is - reviled and hated and 'killed'.

Symbol is a living focusing Idea, but once idolized in place of the Living, degenerates to concept. "Concept Floors Carpets and Blinds" as a shop sign in my locality announces. But that is not a call for anti concept - but for a shift upstream to a Living Perspective. Capital letters - like any other conceptual language can only 'point' to what is currently being overlooked - until the distractive fascination fades to allow awareness to rise to consciousness - though really it is the other way around.

Is the whole 'matrix-illusion' idea just another clever way to stay focused in struggle so as to keep the 'warrior' in righteous self-employ? Yes and No. Because it is always our choice as to what purpose we use anything for - and while we focus on what everyone ELSE is thinking or doing - we overlook our Individuality. But we have not 'left or lost' it - we are choosing to focus in and act out from an idea in which lack and loss are inherent.

When something communicates this sense of lack and division, there is always something needy, coercive and artfully contrived to persuade or appeal. One does not need a process in logic once one is aligned in wholeness - but the mimicry of the self-in-concept can seem to be unquestionably right when it is mistaken. Better to know the full feeling of relaxed and open communication that tells you you are truly present than ideas of right and wrong. What is true for us in any given moment is the discernment of an outcome of a balanced appreciation. Inner undefendedness in honesty of being automatically aligns what is needed in imagination, synchronicity and feedback as an unfolding communication of Individualty within Wholeness. For the One is in All as All are in One. Self-specialness is no less so in negative terms - and always segregates the self-sense from the Relational Richness of the Whole.

I only meant to add the first paras - but my interest and aliveness in such consideration is where I find a 're-cognition and re-membering' that transfers to washing dishes and perhaps more deeply - embracing the 'negative' states within a truly felt willingness - without coercion that insists or demands they change - in order to find validation or validate my world-view. I feel this to be an active release of self-judged invalidity - regardless of its social or collective reinforcements.

Truth rises of itself unless something else is actively pushing it down - including the clever attempt to 'fight its cause'.

#2 Reclaiming Sovereignty of free willingness:

Perhaps... you are painted into a corner because you don't yet see you are in the version of Earth that corresponds exactly to the vibrational frequency of your thought - and that Infinity includes all versions or parallel realities of everything imaginable - but that your unique 'experiment/exploratory themes' will always align you in those that serve the purpose you are currently being served in.
What is the purpose that aligns your thought and desire? Is it truly aligned with who you feel and know yourself to be? Or is it conflicted and self-limiting and dense in its openness to communication and therefore heavy and dark? Look to your world and to your feeling for your brother and know by your fruits what you are holding within your current definitions or it could not manifest in and as your experience. No blame here - simply idea out of true with who you prefer to be. So instead of wresting, struggling and getting frustrated with the reflection. Use it to correct your own creative alignment with being - that you cannot help or stop being - however you use that creative capacity to seem to experience yourself and your world to be. It's up to you.

That what you desire - by focussing in and bringing forth - is the simple truth, can also be hidden in the usurping or distortion of desire with fears and judgements given energy and attention as if you desired them - whereby your active desire is mow masked by a surface persona that may be completely unaware of what you are actually calling forth, by virtue of identifying in thoughts that seem to hide or protect you from a feared consequence.

Reclaiming sovereignty of will - Free Willingness - will never come from coercion or deceit - no matter HOW justified you may feel. In fact coercion and deceit comes back at you without your recognition that it is your shouting into the cave that brings back this echo.

If you keep shouting - it is because it serves your current definition of yourself or you simply would not do it. Everything is serving us each -  and as the collective shared agreement - that each always has within the Idea of themselves. there is no separation - but within the exploration of the experience of separation hell operates the agreements of lovelessness in forms that prevent waking to the communication and meaning that is always shared through forms - not AS them.

The meaning you receive from anything is all the meaning you give to it. If you try to fake yourself - that meaning will adulterate and usurp your simple honesty of self-communication and in one way or another - the waking from the faking is the world I am living right now  - and sharing with the version of you that is in this 'reality' with me. For we all communicate through inner versions of everyone and everything. There is no outside - but there is the power and the intimacy of sharing - where the meeting of two or more opens a transcendent third.

The way out of the false matrix is to recognize you are not in it - and act from that knowing - and so grow that awareness rather than lose it to the 're-assertion' of habit. The 'real world' is thus harvested from the release of the false - and reflects what is true of you - no matter what anyone else thinks or does - unless they trigger your word or judgement on yourself. That's where the issue is. Not what 'they' say - not getting their say changed in any way.

I write this here because I feel you open the space in which it can be said and considered. Resonance with who you truly are is different from reinforcement of who you are struggling to be.

The Journey is the point of Life - that is living it wholly - which is not cramming or haste but having the time you need to be who you are. Of course there is challenge in meeting the negative aspects of our consciousness. Crisis is generally how humans access the willingness to change.
Someone said: "If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done" - however - it is both and individual and a collective or relational issue as to a sense of no where else to go or the ground disappearing from beneath one's feet or a total melt-down. Everyone has a pain threshhold at which they either change or refuse to play - but that pain is not inflicted by Life on the poor individual - although that is the human narrative that masks deeper correspondences than we generally allow.

The passing of an age of futility and isolation?

A Point of View: The paradox of growing old

Mary Beard's BBC magazine article reflects on age and care issues. I feel there are universal issues of which age and incapacity brings out specific forms. As always, I look to communicate foundational appreciations rather than seek to tweak the mechanism.

- - -


The foundation for supporting and embodying a truly human culture is one of shared worth. Unless we can receive and accept a true sense of worth ourself - we cannot recognize it in another nor automatically extend true worth through such recognition.

And so we have developed inverted schemes for 'adding' worth via manual interference. All power struggles are ultimately war within oneself.

No kind of 'moral' coercion or scheme for engineering behaviour via 'incentives' can achieve more than hollow compliance.

Our thinking - whether religiously or scientifically derived - is the child of a generally unconscious foundation - and kept so, by desperate attempts to defend our thinking and and control our perception.

The disconnected sense (from Life) is associated with coercive will and its resultant reactions. Life Itself remains present but untrusted - because it is not 'under our control'.

We can let our foundations be opened to awareness as part of a desire for a true sanity and peace. And then we can learn anew to receive and share in true worth - where before we judged, colluded and justified ourselves apart from our worth. For within it - there is no call for the mental convolutions of justification.

Compassion embraces without reinforcing identity in victimhood. Sympathy 'joins' in reinforcement of victimhood.

Our Consciousness embraces all that we are and have ever been - but we have tended to choose victimhood because it gives us the illusion of power to disconnect and separate. While we want such power, we will be blindly victim to its cost.

The presence of another is a gift and a blessing to share in. The mind of power knows not 'gift' nor 'blessing'. But that is a choice and not the coercive imposition that proceeds from using it.

We do not hold a culture for the reintegration of our consciousness and so often struggle blindly in futility and isolation. Yet whatever the scenery, the underlying learnings are of releasing what actually does not belong and accepting ourselves as we truly are ... in and of Consciousness.

The forms our 'lessons' take varies for each of us - and at different times in our lives - but self-honesty is our integrity and when fear is given power ... and thus concealed, we lose sight of who we are and what we know - and make it weak and unable to communicate - for we have believed ourselves worthless and act as if it were true.

I believe in Father Christmas

Binra, you have to pay less attention to all that psycho-babble. The preachers of the cult of "self-esteem" are the same ones who go on the network news every Christmas and tell all the parents it's okay to outright lie to their kids and tell them Santa Claus is real.

 This in the continuing consideration of self interest on the Daily Bell page (my handle is Binra)


There is in many the attempt to coerce or manipulate self esteem - which fuels a lot of the 'self-help' market... and there is what I am talking about. The only way I recommend uncovering your integrity is to first notice the lack of it. Of course most of us do not feel this would apply to us - and certainly not in our presentation to the world. That's why I use the word consciousness a lot - because the so called 'waking consciousness' is a compartmentalized surface mentality that has an underside and a deep underside.
Even though all aspects of consciousness are fully present and active at all times - the 'waking' attention is a sort of continuity made up of a very specific focus within a vastness that few on the 'surface' have any notion of - and whose idea of sanity is to absolutely protect them from opening the awareness of the More of what is actually present. This surface awareness is mostly identified with the personality structure, and its conditioning is its dictate.

There are many devices or strategies that serve as psychological defences - you can look them up. Our minds use all of them, in all sorts of complex ways, so that our personality experience has a functional continuity of identity. But in a sense it is a virtual self with which we are identified - and which we largely experience as isolated consciousness within a world of fleshed out tangibility. As if it came from the past, arose from energy and matter - as a sort of anonymous amnesiac in a strange world that it's interactions and explorations model internally in order to experience it.

The construction of our world has a level of archetypes running at a template level and this language is deeply symbolic as a sort of primitive parameters of structure through which and within which are all the levels above (I could just as well say below - but the principle is of nested inclusion rather than spatial direction).

Father Christmas is a symbolic fiction - no less than your self image. It may or may not serve a function in any member of society and the nature of that function is determined by the active purpose or desire that it is used within. For the Crassmass industry it means $$$. Personally I feel that when our cultural vocabularies have been hollowed out to coercive intent, I prefer to reclain the Spirit from which all of them come. Presence rather than presents. Sharing the gift of life rather than hype. But I can choose without pushing anything on anyone else and trust that each can find there own way because - actually no one is really forced to believe anything. And what we choose is for our own reasons at the time and they can change because we are not so stuck unless we want to be.

I just watched a bit of a program on the placebo effect. Ordinary skin lotion as an effective painkiller, fake drugs enabling parkinsons persona to move freely, fake oxygen enabling a skier to ascend without sickness at high altitude. There is more to the mind than meets the thinking.

As for where I give my attention - it is to a point of relaxation in simple trust and willingness - and this psychobabble is created fresh - just for you. The official orthodox babble seems solid because you want and need it solid - and I don't want to deconstruct what works, but what is not working is reflected more vividly in our world as a breakdown of communication, as fear and attempt to control or indeed tell outright lies about the economy and the political and social situation. This deconstruction is already underway, and the perspectives that are beneath our presumptions of self and world are where true cultural renewal rises from. Of course it makes no sense to the old way of thinking - or it would BE the old way of thinking!

The genuine presence of you, that you extend to you kids - or your fellow man is real. But the stories you tell are whatever you choose. The idea of giving, to the disconnected, is the idea of losing.  But the experience of giving without measure - that is as one is inspired and moved without inhibition or censor, is an intimacy in which everyone involved is blessed. yes people try to fake it. No that doesn't work. Consumerism is the appetite of getting. If we only teach our kids they are getters in a world of getters we have addicted them to the same lie as we protect against exposure.

I don't think what we each believe on surface amounts to very much - but what we hold and share and act from in our heart, which is a symbol and a seat of a unified consciousness.

Consciousness is not really IN the body. The body is IN Consciousness. But the intent to withhold (hide) thought that is too fearful, demands walls, disrupts communication, and then requires an alibi.

Now we're back to a defence mechanism that works to deny anything to awareness that would expose its lack of substance. But associate the form of its expression with its own intent and also with terms of derision, ridicule or invalidation. A large part of this is running subconsciously to the mentality that presumes its opinions are fact and self-evident to anyone of any credible intelligence - for which it presumes itself an example.
