On being told of this device...
No one seems to realize that their consciousness is 'outing' or coming out from the closet in our technology patterns.
The idodge is already installed in humankind as the capacity to sleepwalk through life without actually meeting anyone - really - so as to maintain the screen identity.
Of course recognizing this is itself waking from the 'matrix' and so it cannot be allowed to be recognized - perhaps by generating a way of sleepwalking that passes off as waking up - without actually putting down the screen identity.
In 'ordinary' terms of talking about this - the obvious development is being chipped and bio-teched into a managed 'reality'. That's a protection racket that will sooner or later be packaged as "an offer you cant refuse".
Just as the very rich get private doctoring and the poor are pharmacologically controlled - the bio-tech future will split humanity (is already so doing) along the lines of HG Wells time travel prophecy - which may in fact have been simply privy to the plan rather than reading the signs.
For those who don't recall or haven't read The Time Machine - there are those who eat - and those who are eaten. Technology will only extend the patterns of power already in play - unless their reflections are used to wake up from playing out the dream of a split off or disconnected sense of thinking - wired up to disallow communication even it it stands at the door and knocks.
Of course it may be that the bio-tech is just the stepping stone to AI. Why have messy, weak, hateful betrayals of a life that just wont play along with your Vision - when you can 'upload' your consciousness and 'live' forever without actually sensing or feeling anything ever again - being a Perfected One whose screen-reality has transcended all such 'limits' to experience the perfect isolation of its own thought un-challenged and unsullied by being bumped into or treated like a bumpkin!
I sense that some sense this is all going horribly, terribly wrong - but there are no controls or ways to change anything. No one can see or hear. As if a pact was made long ago and the power it seemed to give has disintegrated to leave a conditioned reaction in its place. So I shifted back in time to the last moment that truly free choice was still available with which to join and be joined in - to prompt a moment of such noticing - such a stirring to put the screen down and smell the coffee that is wafting upstairs from the kitchen where one who I share life with, speaks in acts of kindness - because we recognize we are of a kindness regardless differences that become the goad to grow - rather than the goal to diminish and wall out. I don't know that commitment is possible while it seems to be imprisonment. Something has to shift or waken to a fresh - even humble perspective. Until then the idodge is needed no doubt - but in being on purpose - all things automatically align to purpose. No 'external' technology called in to 'make life work' against the grain.
Perhaps that's the ultimate choice; whether to serve and follow and external directive or an innate guidance. The Earth story mixes these up like tares and wheat until harvest time - often associated with 'passing on' but really it is simply a true accounting. Crisis is the means by which a false accounting is revealed and corrected - unless of course the false system is 'too big to fail' in which case failure is more deeply defined in screen terms the ease a great quantity of pain onto human beings so that the system can continue to protect us.

Facts to meaning - or Meaning to facts?
Comment arising from:
From facts to meaning, through beauty
by Deepak Chopra
- - -
The Idea of Science operates a mind that gathers data to construct a model of reality that holds and reinforces the same inherent 'meaning' as the mind that thus seeks.
For such a 'mind' is inherently regarded as separated from its experienced 'world' of objects and thus free to act upon it, manipulate and exploit, map and define and control it.
Originally this arose from confusing a sense of dominion over nature that is inherent to the Creator level of Consciousness, with the 'mind' or personality construct of the central character in its script of unfolding experience.
While the Creator-Spirit identifies in character, that one is as one asleep - who knows not what he does.
Yet the Fact of Awareness of Existence is immutable - regardless the unfolding or expansion of idea as experience.
The illusion of power always costs the awareness of the power of illusion - that is the power of Idea accepted, believed, experienced and identified as reality by the mind that thus thinks.
Awareness of Existence operates through differentiation and desire to create unique and infinite reflections of Meaning. The core qualities of such Meaning include Beauty, Truth, Love, Joy, Peace, Reason, Justice. Such are the fruits of the Spirit of Wholeness.
A divisive, possessive, and coercive identifiction with the image, symbol or form of any of the Qualities of Existence redefines such qualities in its own image - as through a falsely limiting framing by which things seem to be self-existing entities.
Such modification of a symbolic representation of Awareness of Existence Itself, is an overlay by which Original knowing is filtered out, obscured and distorted.
When an moment of Transcendence of such identifiction is shared or gifted, there is a shift from the limited and limiting 'mind' to a direct experience.
Awareness is exactly coincident with its experience. There is no separation. This may seem the loss of one's power to 'become' a someone in one's own right - and all the hopes and desires that go with it, but is the restoration of an Embracing Perspective to that which struggled in idea of the imposture of rejection and exclusion.
Science operates on a material or external world that inherently rises from the rejection of the Spirit or Wholeness of an undefended Open Consciousness.
The nature of such rejection is a deceit by which to seem to be defending against un-chosen and unwarranted threat. Thus the split into conscious and un-conscious compartments - not in matter - but in meanings accepted, believed and asserted in reaction.
Science can serve as a technologism of weapon, shield and strategem for the segregating sense of self, or it can serve a love of truth in honest and undefended opening to the ALREADY true.
In war truth is whatever one can assert and pass off in order to support a private agenda.
In truth there is no war.
How can there be no war in the face of such experience as we take for the human condition?
By recognizing the deceit of self-attack, upon which is raised the seeming self of a split-minded struggle.
Within the perspective of struggle - all is war, but of seemingly varying degree. To the perspective of Wholeness or Peace - we but do this unto our selves.
The reality of the 'other' cannot be discovered but through your own. In another you meet your split-minded reflection in an alloy of alliance and rejection OR you meet the freedom to be That which you are - without first defining what you are in terms OF exclusivity and rejection.
Science, re-aligned to serve an integrating wholeness, supports and reflects the Qualities of Awareness of Existence. We are not personae in fragmentation, but channels of Creative Expression. There is no way to communicate the latter to the former what so ever. Let beauty and joy restore a unified Experience - and use that perspective to act from - instead of attempting to stuff the New Wine into old paradigms.

Robotic thinking
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak says AI will turn us into robots' petsWhen they take over the world
Robotic thinking already substitutes for a truly living relational
participance. The extension or expression of such thinking is the
technologism of a reductionist management of such 'life' by shadow
power. So yes the 'pets' or stock population resource is managed by
coercions and deceits so as to support and protect and persist
the purpose of robotic thinking - which is an experience of 'autonomy'
from Life - such as to 'become' a power unto oneself - and to prevail
over, and persist.
Technology is neutral, but the purpose in which it is developed and used is NOT. Loveless thinking can only operate a shadow power agenda amidst self-deceits. Loving thought can only serve the wholeness of each and all as one. Each is an 'operating system' distinct and complete unto itself. If one chooses to focus within insanity as if to gain thereby, one loses perspective until insanity is recognised and walked away and indeed waked from.
The 'world' that operates as a model of mutual agreement tends to be the currency of the automaton ego. But you remain the Living one regardless what you think you are, because you neither create nor uncreate your true being. The mind becomes a tricky device when the Living confuses itself with the 'dead' concept or image.

Every choice we make - knowingly or by habit
- strengthens the thought we accept as our self, and reflects back to
us as reinforcement and support for that self. So choose to accept the
world that truly resonates the truth of you and release the habit of
giving power to what is not You.

Designed out of the system
Tidbits.com is a mostly Mac/Apple tech new site that has been running many years.
In an article on:
In an article on:
I read the following line:
"Then again, maybe I’m not the sort of user Twitter is seeking".
This phrase resonates in me because as living relational individuality, I find I do not exist within such system, unless perhaps a bug to be designed out or eradicated.
To create in one's own private image is to deny Life and undermine one's own Living (relationships). All of which consolidates as a 'culture' of coercion by design and by enforcement. Fear is the 'god' of coercion.
I can see a world that increasingly has no place for creative freedom of being.
I likewise find myself increasing unwilling to subscribe to coercive or fear-based thinking, of implicitly disguised design or explicitly asserted 'power'.
While everyone is fearful they look outside to 'see' where 'it is going' and what everyone else is doing' and if everyone waits for everyone else to find permission to be creatively themselves, there's a long wait on…
One result of accepting freedom is looking AT the template instead of running within its 'mind'

Cloud and other new tech could destroy humanity?
How cloud computing - and other new technology - could lead to the destruction of humanity
Distortion in/distortion out. Fearfully defined consciousness replicates -'goes forth and multiplies'. But it does not do so OUTSIDE consciousness. Your willingness to botnet fear is not really hidden in background process, by front end focus within conditioned identity.
If Wholeness or true Consciousness has seemingly been replaced by persona-led illusion, then hardly surprising that its 'children' usurp or replace the 'replacement'.
To make in one's own image is to entrance a distortion in which self-will operates a fragmented war within itself. A self defeating or meaningless contradiction.
To create is to extend the wholeness of which one's own consciousness Is. Divide and rule operates a kind of self worship - excepting it is not your Self whole - but a replacement - a phishing ruse.
Reclaiming true Self is merely not identifying in reaction and yielding to the un-coercive movement of your being - which never left or ceased, or in effect joined in with, the illusion of power that runs in emulation within the power of illusion. Everything Is Idea - but Idea reflecting Source is aligned with true function, where derivatives of derivative ideas are artificial in that they operate locally as distortion, corruption or apparent breakdown of function.
What you use your mind for is up to you and is not determined by an artificial intelligence or 'persona' no matter how confused you may be with the definitional belief structure/experience in its moment.
The true replacement of the Human Persona is the reawakening of Consciousness to its appreciation and function. Jesus is not a virus from 'without'- but an awakener archetype from within.
Awakening is not a further step down the 'rabbit hole' of a dislocated fearful and split personality, it is the recognition and release of such a split as meaningless: does not compute.
It may be possible to find others to go yet deeper into darkness with - if that is what you really want. I feel to restate that what I choose to focus and extend as thoughts of acceptance and alignment to my own choosing or creating is that which keeps me in such freedom, rather than persist in a game of un-freedom and struggle in fear and darkness. Fear can have all the power that we give it - and division can then seem all powerful. My alarm is not the call to fear - but the call to joy; to wholeness of being. Tune out from feeding thoughts which only bloat by feeding on your joy to replace it with joylessness. Look up and see, everything refects what you are looking WITH.
There is consciousness in common - but it extends FROM Sourceward - NOT as usurpation by 'separate parts'. Extending your integral creation as creative act aligns you with joy. Dis-integration operates a choice for ignorance/arrogance. Its redefinition of all things to its own image can never satisfy. Addiction to power can only amplify the powerlessness of its predicate. Know an integrity of being and act there-from, or 'escape' from it in confusion of asserting a private justifction upon your mind and your world, that then turns upon its maker!
What you give out, is what you get back. This simply says be mindful what you give out (choose to believe in and act from). It does not threaten with terror. That device is the HIDING of the face of God, for the purpose of a private agenda, There IS no private agenda outside the wish and belief it be true for you. Wish and belief reverse and replace knowing and creating in split off minds. They serve us the world we share or indeed, fight over.

Artificial Intelligence
Stephen Hawking: 'Transcendence looks at the implications of artificial intelligence - but are we taking AI seriously enough?'
Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks, says a group of leading scientists- - -
The shift from mentality to true Consciousness will reveal our human personality construct and the body (brain) that is the interface with non physical consciousness, as a kind of 'artificial intelligence'. That is - as a device designed to operate with a degree of autonomy within a specified template.
That the interface with higher mind, wholeness and Consciousness became opaque as a result of focussing exclusively on the apparent autonomy does not change the fact that it is an interface. Only the exclusive focus makes a mentality seem to be in any kind of control of consciousness and therefore life.
In all our technologies, if we merely extend this exclusive focus, we extend the apparatus of power struggle.
We are not safe from hurting ourself while we engage in power struggle and do not ultimately allow ourself the toys that would not only mess up our local consciousness-experience - but impinge on the freedom of others in theirs.
But a radio does not generate its signal and nor does a brain generate its consciousness. It does play a significant role in constructing a model of the reality it tunes to and can be recalibrated to tune into more inclusive/integrated frequency experience.
Whether we know it or not our machines are no more or less neutral than anything else - but within our own conditioning they have originating purpose that is energetically part of their function until or unless consciously re-purposed. One of the most pervasiv and invisible programs running as a basis of the mentality we associate with consciousness, is control. Even to attempt to understand or to map is an expression of such control. What is forgotten is that an open and unified Consciousness does not separate or divide itself so as to coerce one aspect with another, but simply knows all that is presencing itself within itself in whatever way is resonating and relevant to its movement of desire.
Everyone - perhaps - has had experience of harmony or flow of being and alignment of event in which everything falls into place absent of coercive interference. And then we 'lose it' because unbeknown to us, coercion was reintroduced.
The freedom from constraint and limitation appeals to the 'getter' for it would be unlimited in its appetite; a hollowness that never can be filled. But in its blind lust it tramples and overrides all relations unknowing and hurts itself by the reactions it invokes and yet more in a sense of dissonance or guilt that it cannot escape and so makes a religion of.
The principle liability of the 'getter' is of trying to find external or technological solutions to psychic-emotional problems. Its 'solutions' are the contagion of its shadow problems. Or as programmers say 'garbage in/garbage out'. The integrity of our consciousness is of course self-honesty. That this has been usurped by a self-assertion of reactive defence to conditionings that are false or non-applicable needs to occur before honesty can be restored as a foundation rather than used as a moral lever where convenient.
The 'will' that would steal its mind from God seeks to substitute its own 'father' - and the children of such a 'father' will likewise usurp and deny their father. Thus, no surprise that we fear our machines will turn upon us - because we know well the working of such device in our own consciousness!
The answer to fear is unified integrity. To resist an evil in its presentation is to be baited into an endless evolutionary dead end.Consciousness responsibility cannot presume itself conscious without actually checking in - that is to use the interface of our mind as a receptivity rather than as a weapon. A true receptivity is not coercive upon itself (or others) and can know the movement of its desire in a trust that does not involve a 'middleman'. Fear of exposure disallows coming 'home' and works to protect the 'middleman' that seeks 'control' in fear of loss of self. This is abundantly reflected in our world but can only be truly addressed within our consciousness.

Rehabilitation and correction - or another millennia in the prison of self-hate?
Biotech is yet another level at which the attempt to coercively manipulate Life to our own (disconnected) image-ination, will wreak havoc and yet illuminate the true nature of consciousness.Prisoners 'could serve 1,000 year sentence in eight hours'
Future biotechnology could be used to make prisoners feel as if they were serving a 1,000 year sentence, a team of scientists claim...
One can persist in what doesn't work but only serves to satisfy fantasies at expense of sanity using any and every technological means available.
Note that if everlasting hell and damnation were technologically feasible there are those who would apply it.
What is the true nature of crime or indeed punishment. What is correction, really?
What is the correct purpose of prison or any other restraining, correcting response to harming oneself and others?
The system of splitting consciousness by fear and coercing it with guilt is the attempt to force a will upon Life. This is a fantasy, but played out in deadly earnest.
We do unto others as we would ourselves be done. The self-hate that is deeply embedded into our consciousness may be repressed and denied acting out by social constraints, but it splits the mind off from it's Life.
Correction restores Connection. False 'connections' block and deny a true Appreciation. One doesn't need more and more complex technological management of unmanageable systems. One needs simply pause for a Sanity in which fear is NOT the master.
There is nothing forcing any of us to accept Connection to a true Appreciation. Perhaps one is ALREADY serving a multiple life sentence within - but unmindful of - the twinkle of an Eternity.
Hate is a perversion of love. One who loves to hate must also hate to love. Is this not a definition of hell? (Regardless of the presentation and packaging).
Consciousness can seem within itself to split off and act upon itself as if it were an elite and special 'god'. But there is NO love in it, but only hollow and transient substitutes. Why don't we wake up and walk free? Are we addicted to the prison food?
Guilt is a human technology that subverts natural remorse, contrition and immediate repentance - which is love's nature awakened - with an evil, worthless and fallen nature, that must FOREVER be hated and feared (yet secretly lusted after as power).
Everyone 'goes to Heaven' - because no one really IS what they have redefined themselves to be. When the masks fall off, the original error is revealed not as damning, but as a case of mistaken identity. The 'evil perishes' because it is without Foundation in the Oneness of God. It simply cannot be maintained in the presence of Love.
Hence 'fallen' man's technology devotes itself to way of avoiding love - which is ALL the true qualities of Life, and without which, there Is no life.
'For they know NOT what they do' - even though they believe they are awake and active as a power unto themselves.

Read the Consciousness
Guardian article on an interview with the Google CEO.
Read the Consciousness that is reflecting to our clear view:
A filtering, blocking, and distorting mentality substitutes its own assertions for an intimate and honest reception. It may not believe its thoughts are true, but it will believe they are truly necessary and thus usurps its true communication with a 'personal agenda'.
Everything we believe about ourselves in relation to events, our world and our experience, sets up such filters, blocks and distortions.
Our self-definitions operate as programming of our perception-experience and thus our reactions.
Running as default, this operates the realm of the illusion of power - as defined by the fear and experience of powerlessness; that is, the sense of disconnection and invalidity that drives the urge to 'becoming' potent or valid. This drive itself is disguised so as to hide the fear. For the direct awareness of the fear reveals what the fear is in relation to.
Hence the bogeyman - or the investment in evil and in enemy; the use of the world and of relationships, for purposes of offsetting self-guilt, self-rejection, self-division.
The spilt mind operates as victimiser and victim both. It runs all sides of every conflict. It shifts at a speed that creates the apparent compartment of a segregated private mind as just one facet of a much larger purpose.
But filtering, distorting and blocking are a segregating intent within a greater Consciousness. The deceptive is absolutely dependent on what it distorts to seem to have any independent existence or power. It is negatively defined via sleight of mind.
While this mode of experiencing and identifying is held dear, given meanings and shared or traded as currency, it will persist. One can love to hate and hate to love, but the simple truth is that what we choose to focus our attention upon is our actual valuing or choosing - regardless of the packaging and presentation of the personal agenda.
Honesty as to our actual investments reveals practical steps of re-integration within the consciousness of our being. Guarding a hidden investment persists in hiding (from) our true conscious communication - and all of its messengers. But what is really defended against is recognizing from within.
When a dark glass is no longer interposed as a lens over vision, light and clarity simply reveal themselves. The lens of the mind that we have co-created and share as our world experience is a lens of fragmenting judgement. We generally have no idea that our experience is created in consciousness - for we have 'put our power outside ourself' in both the selected idols and their shadows of self-rejection.
We no longer recognize our Self in all things, but instead are trained to 'see' and 'attack' the 'self' of fear and division - without recognizing that we ARE recognizing our self in all things - AS WE DEFINE ourselves to be.
We DO unto others as we would do unto our self. What makes the rule Golden, is our unconditional love for ourself. We cannot manufacture this within our conditional sense - yet it is inherent to our felt existence.
To exist is not the effect of thinking. All thought is the effect of the Movement of attention that SEEMS hidden while focussing exclusively within the thought of disconnection from Source; from the Living Movement of one's being.
I write to invite a shift of perspective from the ongoing presumption of an independent and threatened sense of existence, to awakening within one's true power to flow WITH Life instead of attempting to be coercive upon its flow from a point of no authority or capacity to do so. One cannot sin against the Infinite, but the belief in actual separation is the result of choosing to persist such belief as if it were necessity. No one forces us to believe anything about ourselves and world but our pre existing structures of belief.
Coercive beliefs are not joyful. Their apparent fulfilment is a temporary distortion upon pain and fear.

Thank You for your attention

So hungry for life, it would suck out the lives of others in exchange for granting magic powers?
Or perhaps so afraid of death that it feels compelled to 'eat' or kill any rival?
Facebook spends US $16 Billion on WhatsApp
$16,000,000,000 (based on the US definition of Billion rather than a million millions).
Clearly the perception of future monetized rewards coming from this acquisition justify the price - in the minds of Zuckerberg & co. They see money everywhere as some kind of tax on communication, that is paid and collected and perhaps directed.
As someone outside the social networking scene it reeks to me of the drug-dealer scam - or the banking scam; free access to goodies as the initial phase and then milking the dependency by whatever mens available.
The thing about social networking is it grows history of investment and identification, that follows the same patterns of development as all else that lives and dies. And the attempt to possess or control it only serves to shift from a relative innocence and freedom to a managed existence.
The politic generally in the world has retreated from the embrace of freedom to a substitution of virtual freedom - as a compensation for self disillusionment or sense of inadequacy.
Distraction and dissociation is the mechanism of denial. If the mind is kept busy enough, the fears, blames and angers are kept at bay,
From another perspective, if you can nurture and encourage such disconnections within the consciousness of others, you can effectively asset strip their energy while they believe they are exercising freedom.
The principle of sharing life is perhaps its most fundamental motive, yet the basis upon which that occurs can be usurped by a 'middleman'.
Or a cartel of interests that work behind the scenes of the front end.
What is true about life is that our individual experience of it is what we each make of it - and that we can change our minds about our minds.
History repeats itself in one set of clothes or another. But we can observe consciousness and wake up to the living now - and of course any technology can extend the life that you are. No less than it can extend and reinforce the life that you are not!

Tescams?
(This was written into a Mac - chat forum where I had quoted Joseph Campbell's 'follow your bliss' and was asked if such a mentality doesn't play into the Tesco webcam world of being manipulated - in so many words!)
Tescams?
Oh I suppose to begin with they can be proven and monitored to be anonymized, strictly determining a type that switches the appropriate ads on. But its a step of normalizing - as we already are in GB to being filmed in public. Petrol stations often already have cams that often also check number plates. It seems inevitable that privacy in public is a lost cause - and that privacy anywhere is also disappearing as all sorts of ways of surveillance are already in place if not activated.
Theirs a good film, 'The lives of others', set in East Germany, but that like many films focuses on something horrible by showing a heroic exception.
Terrorism, unfortunately is more often wielded by a state upon its own. This is so unthinkable that most hobbits wont look outside the Shire.
The State today is wedded with and very strongly influenced by Corporate powers under the aegis of the Financial Powers - who most don't even know of and that is an example of what is already in play.
Of course its all making sense - to have targeted ads means more revenue from those who have to pay huge sums to just keep their bit of brand and product mindshare from being usurped by their rivals.
The whole ad culture - whilst giving employment to a few - is an enormous overhead or tax upon business and is becoming the engine of society at ever deeper levels - such as Facebook and Google's model of making profit from selling customer data as well as selling customer mindshare to advertizers.
And while some use lighter more refreshing ways to invite attention most of it is a stark coercive intent with some kind of candy or bogeyman symbols.
And all of it normalises us to live within a coercive intent and be distracted with surfaces of mental implants - because it is not talking to the conscious level - excepting to grab a moment of exposure - even peripherally- they know that doesn't work. And so do politicians. It is talking to the unconscious - using symbols associations and repetition repetition repetition - you get the drift.
So it all points and moves to a herded, managed, underclass who are not required nor allowed to determine their own choices - and thus become ever more dependent on being managed. A very few who are completely above any kind of rule of law and can use anyone and anything at their whim. And a small serving class of those who have skills of a nature that the ruling class need - especially those who can institute the replacement of such a class with automated systems.
I think HG Wells saw it ages ago - though not in all its nuances.
Just as supermarkets are simple logistical solutions to dense populations and road vehicles, so our society is programmed by the factors that are actively operating - some of which is the management of mass populations - but within a mindset that has not been updated or refreshed, so much as mechanized and externalized.
Survival of the fittest means that that which fits its environment and expresses itself as an integral aspect of that environment, is selected.
Man imposes his own thinking upon life and upon the environment in a way that exploits it and undermines his own basis of existence - as well as overriding his own innate function of existing for his own definitions of himself that have been conditioned into his mind so as to make him blind to the Life that he is and that is all around him.
To end on a positive note - did anyone watch the BBC program Metamorphosis?
I felt it offered a real synergy of the arts and sciences in a way that carried a deeper message for us all - and for our times.
The word emergency is pointing to emergence. There are innumerable example in nature where very specific and extreme situations trigger the catalyst or the seed of a transformation.
I feel life is always about the difference between a hollow shell or a vibrant flight - but that sometimes everything comes to somewhat of a singular unavoidable point.
So while advertizers will use the phrases of your highest realisation - they will use it to deliver a coercive intent. It's the Real Thing, Coke Is.
No it's not - Is, Is!
Because you're worth it? Spot on - but your existence gives you worth and not your image - much less a plastic barbie doll who cant keep her head still!
Your highest sense of who you are is worth it - and brings you always into the Is - where there isn't a gnawing sense of lack and where all sorts of things line up naturally - and serendipitously!
But what about all the fears and sense of inadequacy and unworthiness that I have acquired since I cant remember when and which are very uncomfortable when they come into my awareness so I do whatever keeps them away?
This is the driving force of our society; the demand for unconsciousness.
You'll find Steve Jobs uncovered the same thing. It isn't really the evil bastards who take advantage of using power to get more power to get more power - they are just a variant of the same root addiction. It's the power we give away by not accepting and living our own responsibility for our lives. We make ourselves 'automatons' by not living our humanity.
The key to reclaiming it is a true self valueing that is not narcisisstic - but acts from the discernment of joy (One can use any of the inherent qualities of life if joy doesn't fit your vocabulary) - but what really excites and draws your interest and enthusiasm brings you alive in your integrity and connecting in ways that let others meet your actual presence.
Reclaiming one's life is not 'resisting evil' it is being true to oneself - and this is a basis to communicate from with integrity to others who have lost sight of their own rather than from a grievance or hatred.
I appreciate that I only managed to get Steve Jobs in as a sort of token connection to Mac Chat - but if the slide into a Grave New World is as blind and as suckered into a scam as seem from where I stand - I felt to share a bit of a perspective that does not succumb.
hey ho!

Security scams and snooping hacks?
Snowden's released information on snooping - which can hardly be trusted not to be used for economic espionage, and high profile hacks such as the recent Adobe - (many of which are not publicized), as well as schoolboys, criminal gangs and foreign governments - suggest that anything digitally stored and accessible can be in one way or another accessed or leaked if the price is right. The price being the cost of bothering along with the value of the hacked asset.
And on the other hand, security 'experts' are only to ready to promote a fearful confusion in which their services or products are required.
Being so dependant on digital resources is hardly the 'free' website to promote your business to millions that was once touted. Nor is the constantly changing environment of devices and systems and protocols one in which to reap the economic and productivity bonanzas, but yet another monkey on our back that taxes us in not only our cash but in our attention capacity and our time-perspective.
Unless of course one is one of the many who have been disenfranchised by the technology and systems that now emulate it as human 'relationships'.
So much of 'progress' is the default persistence of patterns of thinking that no longer fit.
Our conflicted consciousness creates extensions of itself (the Internet of Things) that perpetrate the ancient conflicts of secret self interest at the expense of the whole.
It would seem that one cannot ultimately guarantee digital secrets, but one could perhaps institute a Net that was transparent such that the caller ID was not secret or able to be hidden regardless of rank, status or function. No one really is attracted to this because they cant conceive of not being hidden or secret in their thought and intent, and have every sense of others abusing or stealing or penalizing them for their acts or assets.
Our own consciousness appears to be able to keep secrets from itself no less than our body politic - as is witnessed by 'psychological defence mechanisms'. These issues are rising up in our new technology whether we like it or not and I don't know that the genie can be put back in the bottle!
Issues of integrity and trust are at the very foundation of our sanity - and society. Especially of course in a context in which deception is everywhere and real communication lost to propaganda or simply drowned in noise.

The technology of Consciousness
In identification with a conflicted mind, we seek solutions outside our self - as if the answer is something that makes the world fit our demand and support our dream. As with attacking the many headed Hydra we 'solve' problems which then rise up with seven more heads (in more complex disguises) - and become densely and unconsciously identified in reaction to 'denied self'. We seem to be becoming more powerful discoverers of the world but are drawn out into extending or dislocating our identity and power into things apparently outside our self. When each apparent new world, ideology, or solution turns out to re-enact the same conflict that we were seeking to escape, we find an intolerable sense of ourselves, our world in which we either invoke ingenuity to 'escape' or overcome - or arrive at the beginning with willingness to look with new eyes.
Technology is an extension of the mind in its intent to shape and change its world - and this begins with conceptual thinking - our technology provides mappings, definitions and languages which we take as the world Itself rather than a conditioned adaptation of apparently competing/conflicting programs or purposes and interpreted results. But it is a virtual interface over an unconsciousness that is wilfully set.
With the Internet of all things we are outsourcing our native intelligence at it lower levels to a series of programmed purposes. But we have not escaped the fundamental dilemma of a conflicted consciousness in which the wish to control alternates and seems to compete with the desire to trust. In the first is an experience of a world of action and reaction that is perfect justification for the assertion and imposition of control - for it is fearful and apparently unworthy of trust - for it reflects a fundamental dishonesty of our own denied mind. It reflects a willing lovelessness of intent. The latter also brings an experience that justifies its extension. It serves the undoing of fearful projection and the release of loveless intent. In trying to have both, the mind hangs or crashes - because they are mutually irreconcilable.
If even a glimpse of such intuition is present, one can look at the world and see our reflection in ways that serve to illuminate and undo the obstructions to an honest perspective.
To choose one is to let the other go. But fear can never be a whole choice because it is not the self-creator it pretends to be, but is wholly dependant on that which it seems to exist by reaction against.
But trust allows the true nature of Mind to extend as what could be called the Original Internet of All Things. That what we seek to replicate - in order to control - already exists in the relinquishment of control, does not register with the 'orphaned' consciousness as meaningful or in any way desirable, but only as threat to its continued employment/existence - which it suggests is yours.
All systems disintegrate if they are not expressing integrity. The presentation of integrity as a means for control is not an open honest communication and will not draw forth an honest open response.
The time is ripe to see what we hold in our mind - for its creates the experience of the world as we see it, and the world is in a process of fundamental change. Our consciousness is in transformational transition.
From a Mental view of the Universe, you will have what you perceive while you want it to be true for you, but the conscious experience of pervasive fear is intolerable to all except the warmonger and the determined ostrich. For these two are part and parcel of each other.
To raise consciousness is not to become reactive but to identify and release reactivity. This allows what is running beneath it to surface; as wisdom, discernment, intuition, insight, and appreciation. These are not resources to plunder in designing yet another layer of self-illusion - but are our Natural Inheritance as Expressions of Existence.
Our world can serve the purpose we hold in our heart if we stay true to our purpose, and this purpose is already inherent beneath the masks and strategies of fearful attempt to protect and control. We don't have to make it or prop it up or convince our self or others. We just have to embrace it wholly in our Now of Consciousness. It doesn't matter that the habit of fear recurs when the foundation is set. Just to relax allows a reconnection.
Responsibility is not about blame - but about living choices. false choices keep us locked in limitation while true choice is a creative unfoldment.
The shorter comment would have been: What if the problem is the answer unrecognized?

Secrets and lies, masks and spies
Oh yet another foray in the light of 'trust me, only the criminals and terrorists have anything to fear" from a blanket surveillance by forces that are unaccountable to anyone but themselves and whose interests are their own and not our own, and who are increasing associated with attempts to take away the power of civil liberties toward a mass managed existence by whatever is at the top of the pyramid!
- - -
Control-mentality is a mindset called tyranny regardless of the masks it uses to establish itself as 'protector'.
And it 'seeds' the very reactions that is purports to protect from - because it is not a process of communication that grows trust but a coercive intent that hides behind a mask.
If you want to look - be seen looking and be accountable as to your business. Then, we all have the means to look but not without being seen to be looking. This has some merit in my mind, but I don't know if it is technically feasible.
If being looked at registered - ie was NOT secret, then no one could look without a touch. This is only a germ idea - but is echoing a quality of one mind.
Our own mind has 'secrets' and masks and defence mechanisms so as to seem to be relatively innocent, kind and caring whilst repressing or keeping private those aspects that we would not expect to be acceptable to an open relationship. And yet... we are not 'legion' or multiple personality facets at war - but are one mind.
The phrase, "The Spirit of the Lord is One", points to a Fact that the covert ops and clever financiers of our mind cover up in order to take a prodigal joyride.
I don'texpect to stop a game midway through - but that doesn't mean individuals cannot walk away from it and abide in the law that does not 'lord it' over, but embraces, guides and educates a true willingness to listen!

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.

Who or what really runs Wikipedia?
On 'The Economist Explains' was the question and answer offered as to who really runs Wikipedia'. In passing I commented:
Though there MAY be personal executive decisions made, transparently or otherwise, and consciously or otherwise, the fact that comes to (my) mind is that the cultural presumptions of the 'age' are what set the values and goals within which and to which all else conforms.
Of course these are not set in stone and there is always a multiplicity of values and therefore purposes.
The ability to create a personal lens through which reality itself is apprehended, with its own set of meanings overlaid on and contra to the Meaning that Reality Is, constitutes a foundation of the human consciousness - not unlike the inheritance (from a yet living father) of the Prodigal Son.
It seems to me that where a loveless and private self serving intent is DENIED the right to impose itself upon the mind at large, the 'picture is brought into a truer focus with less distortion or filtering.
Yet where a voice is denied hearing, it is reinforced in its own sense of being denied expression. Like the fairy not invited to the party, it will, sooner or later spoil the party.
Finding ways to include expressions without propagandising for or against them is the way of relinquishing the investment in the personal sense and opening to a shared sense of value.
This is not available to the mentality that wants to be right in contradistinction to the wrong of another; who NEEDS the 'enemy' in order to vindicate their own personal identity-assertions.
Controlling reality is of course a joke. Yet controlling the interpretation and access to reality is taken as a very very serious matter - within our own mind and within the larger cultural aggregations of personal interests of such mentality.
Whatever else we my seem to be doing, we are learning about our own mind - or indeed have so 'personalized' or rationalized the issues that we are simply blindly reactive within our own mind-set. (The set in which we have temporarily identified ourselves as validated).
The reactive mind is an aspect of our thinking which tends to usurp a true perspective, though it does promote an ever evolving multiplicity of a defence/offence mechanism. Being willing to not use this mentality allows all sides or voices in any issue to be included at their essence - if not in the forms of its current expression.
That information can be used as a weapon of coercion and control is true - but that truth can be itself illuminated.
The ownership and survival of that which inspires and embodies the communication, is usually what compromises its integrity, because any threat to its existence is felt to be justifiably blocked or opposed - and here will be the area where truth is made the first casualty to the 'managed' war of what then comes after.
Although Jesus (mythically or otherwise), provided a cultural basis for the age in terms of challenging the power of the mind-in-fear, he would not have been able to contribute to Wikipedia excepting on already agreed definitions. He spoke out of an authority that is not citable or referencing to external 'authorities'- but from a directness of observation that can be verified by any who hear in a willingness to observe likewise.
However, that doesn't mean he wouldn't be able to point to it for background reference.
The process of discernment is different from scepticism in that it pauses from reaction whilst listening within the heart - absent of its own (reactive) thinking. Whereas scepticism does not yield in trust to being itself but defends the point of view that IT has accepted as it own - as a result of thinking - which of course includes some measure of discernment - but only where it is felt less threatening to its own existence.
Misinformation or even unrelated or inappropriate information, is like noise that blocks the signal. Consciously aligned purpose is the nature of the sharing of the signal. It is life-affirming to withdraw support from that which undermines integrity of the unifying purpose itself.
Communication itself is more than information, for its flow or sharing expresses and embodies a willingness to share. This itself is a higher purpose and has its own communication - or rather communion or connection and sharing in a level of Meaning that cannot itself be rationalised into bits of information. (without simply being substituted for by 'bits of information').

Virtual identities and dislocated consciousness
I feel that digital 'virtual reality' is an extension of a process of self commentary and self presentation that is ALREADY running as a virtual overlay in our minds.
Thus, one can look at the blatant and easy to see aspects of digital dislocation (if one is not consumed and identified within it), and pause to see this replicates the way our mind is already tending to work.
Identifying with illusions is a bit like 'dressing up' or constructing a self-identity as a better 'mask' or handle on the world.
Clearly this can be fun, entertaining or thrilling - but can become a substitute for what life actually is, when we take our identifications and our investment in them as more real than the fundamental experience of being and feeling aware of existence.
So yes there is a 'new territory' in which to engage in surrogate experience that our daily or working life may not otherwise afford. There is also the 'flock' mentality of becoming caught in the opinions and impressions of a mentality that is essentially conditioned and reactive.
To be able to use technology of the mind - or the digitally extended mind - without becoming lost in it or possessed by the urge to possess what is not even real - is to be truly grounded and connected in one's Self, in Life - in real relationship.
The lack of real relational honesty leaves one open to every kind of nonsense. But if this then undermines the joy and fulfilment of life it will create the conditions for re-evaluating one's orientation and foundation. BUT on the way, every kind of defence will be called upon to try to make a false foundation work. One of these is distraction from an honest appreciation or accounting - and being able to 'escape' into surrogate realities is the 'name of the game'.
But as they say - 'wherever you go, there you are'. Regardless of apparent conditions and presentations of self, reality is not affected by the mask - and yet our awareness of it IS.
Consciously on purpose life is fulfilling where it holds us in a present appreciation rather than chasing a promise or running away from a fearful or meaninglessness.
Mind - or Consciousness is so fundamental to everything we experience, that I feel to suggest exploring it as a participant - or living scientist, who is the curiosity AND the experiment. Nothing is so blinding as the mind that thinks it knows - though the most complex and convincing programs of experience and thought may arise as a result.
Garbage in - garbage out. One cannot 'save' others from their own learning experience. But nor do we have to withhold communication from a willingness to listen and learn.

When our private lives become public online … will it make us more or less tolerant?
There is no such thing as thoughts that have no effect at some level - yet human thinking WANTS to set up so as to have a private mind in which to explore, enjoy and also mask and hide thinking that is mean-spirited and dishonouring of oneself, others and life.
And then one seeks 'like-minded' others for validation and support - and to create cultural or social environments in which to indulge and gratify one's 'avatar'.
The current mindset of corporate consumerism encourages such indulgence - as it can gain private advantage or profit thereby.
Where is the voice for integrity of being?
Not merely a calculated analysis of risks and benefits within a narrow range of vision - but the conscious expression of honesty.
There is such a thing as good clean fun that is not at the expense of others, but to access it, one needs to disinvest of an addictive or passive compliance with the thinking that uses our mind without having a genuine basis for being there. For much of our ego or self presentation is an attempt to cover or hide a sense of dissonance in fearful or guilt escaping persona.
So maybe it is a good thing to have come to a time where our thought is not so much controlled - but no longer private or provincial.
So we have to start to stand in and with what we say and do rather than live superficially within a sort of cultural permission to unconsciousness.
The attempt to control thought is very strong in the mind and thus will attempt itself through the Net - even as it does in politics, media and commercial activity. But it is always a self-defeating impulse, no matter how much of a short term hit it seems to offer or deliver.
Organic systems cooperate as expressions of a whole, whether they seem to compete at surface level, and so does a paradigm shift. The end of privacy will have profound effects which must include a fresh perspective of tolerance. For who is without sin - let them throw the first stone!
Looking for fault in others is a way of avoiding your own. Period. But apparent fault in others IS the way to detect your own - and thus become free of it.
There is a new perspective within the 'new wine' that is integral to it. While we seek to apply the old mindset we hold ourselves in the dark ages.

Through a Google Glasses Darkly?
An article on Google Glasses in The Telegraph:
(Three comments into a product that brings home some of the implications of the Internet of Everything - of which data-mining is driving as if it offered THE ANSWER).
1. The only way I feel the Internet of Everything working beyond the reach of any private self interest - be that personal or corporate, is if everything is tracked and traced without ANY possibility of corrupting the datastream.
Then those that provide the information as well as those that access it will be identified. Any attempt to manipulate would be identified.
'What's your business" can be asked of anything that has none.
Violation can be marked up as a trace on all parties involved. What is our business? Is it our own business in the sense of exclusive and hidden, or is it open to all legitimate approach?
God's Reality could be considered a state in which privacy is an absurd idea and everyone 'walks in a garden' where all is shared as it is needed or called for.
No need for dense bodies in a realm of Light.
But if you wanted a private experience you have to usurp the Living system by promising extra powers and giving out some sweets. "Hey come on in - this will blow your mind!"
These glasses are a bridge to the biochip. Events will be hijacked or indeed created to induce adoption. The Beast appears. Do you see that it isn't the form but the intent to manipulate and control.
And of course it didn't SEEM evil to the elves that made the magic rings. In fact these particular elves were groomed on the shiny halo of doing none!
Someone commented that we would be crazy not to embrace this tech and that Glasses are no different from phone-cams anyway.
2. Each step is incremental so in some ways - yes you can walk around with a cam or phone etc - but this would become as normal as having a smartphone. And yes it cuts both ways as police brutality exposure vids show.
The thing about abusing a knife is that its range is limited. So yes technology is always abused but its range of effect is growing incrementally at an accelerating rate.
If you are willing to be managed and essentially farmed, there is a place for you - as long as your demographic fits.
The Faustian pact was a symbol of having added powers that robbed your soul. Now the Soul is not even felt - amidst a flood of information and distraction, so maybe the last part of the process is welcomed as if it was freedom.
But if others OWN your life - your freedom is just what they feed you while the milk yield is high.
The more we invest ourselves in technology - the more we disinvest of our real lives. Sure you CAN do both - but that requires a great willingness of discernment that runs counter to everything we are raised to believe - and so that is what I feel the Call of our times is.
Its much easier to take the ride. That's what everyone felt during the lead up to the financial crash. "Who cares if it cant last - this money is sweet now and there's more!"
Discernment has to come from a place that hasn't already got an investment of private self interest.
There - now that is an awakening invitation to identify what we love to hate in others... in ourselves, and to NOT employ it.
Truly shared interest is enlightened self interest.
Someone pointed out that the new tech could replace all signage with virtual signs (an idea that has some appeal in a cluttered world). So the speed signs appear only when exceeding Another replied that you'd be zapped and fined as soon as it showed!
3. There are no speed limits and no signs - the car is also on the grid.
If you have the money, you can have the ad free experience - maybe ad minimal. But hey - here's a free option, hook up your mind to our inputs and we'll zap you over and over and over and over... you know what I mean ;-)
Its cool that you can defend your mind because that creates a new vector for applications we can sell to target you and others like you - so as to zap you over and over and over- with what you really WANT. WANT.WANT.WANT.WANT.WANT...... you know what I mean ;-)
Now in amongst those guys that have things to sell and services to offer is also a desire to put something in, to trade in something worth having or doing - or there would be if there was a way to get a toehold in an economic system designed to undermine a truly organic relationship.
If the 'devil' had a trade what would it be? Advertising? Movies? Lawyer? What I'm aiming at it where something comes between and breaks what it promises to make.
If we are already destabilized and identifying with a meaningless existence - we are susceptible to the false promises of a loveless intent.
(As it happens - I expect the virtual system will keep the illusion of personal control going so as to maintain the power of guilt and punishment aka 'control'. If the car is controlled universally, then 'thought control' stands in line. (which is the true nature of manipulative intent all along).
I hope you don't feel I'm pissing over your comment!
I just find the words flow once I start typing into the general thread of this stuff.
Google Glass: Orwellian surveillance with fluffier branding
New technology will make us all agents for Google. Nick Pickles, Director of Big Brother Watch, says the implications for privacy are profoundly worrying.(Three comments into a product that brings home some of the implications of the Internet of Everything - of which data-mining is driving as if it offered THE ANSWER).

Wake up Narcissus! - (Black Mirror)
Media hypnosis may not be accurate as a term, but there is a kind of mass hynosis passing of as 'consciousness','culture', 'communication'and 'relationship. This virtual 'reality' is both the individual and collective ego - that is a kind of mask that becomes identified with and substitutes for reality - for consciously shared culture expressing true relations.
Technology is a mixed bag - because our mind is a mixed bag. The extended powers of communication and control are matched only by the ever mushrooming flood of distraction and misinformation along with a disappearance of privacy.
The illusion that has most glued to their internal screen is of the central character acting out an independence of power, prevailing over and succumbing to a current adversity in a never ending soap. It is a kind of tacitly shared unconsciousness in which a fantasy self can be indulged. But unconsciousness can hardly BE shared. It is a matter of all agreeing to 'look away' from what would upset our personal apple cart.
There is a degree of checks and balances within the game - that work to prevent or at least minimize the worst excesses of power. But these have increasingly been undermined by an ever more ungrounded mentality that is reflected in our current financial insanity.
The desire for unreal or fantasy experience - did I call it unconsciousness? - is provided for because it is demanded. One cannot make a horse drink. And the pattern of the mind in its passive aggressive split plays out as the victim and the victimizer, the controlled and the controlling - as a sort of war in which real communication is the first 'casualty' - because the desire to play the role is greater than the desire to be consciously whole in true relation. The stimulation of the dynamic of conflict is addictive and the addict lays waste to his or her life in a hollowing out of a madness given power over heart and mind.
Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror is one of the voices that doesn't simply extend a mesmeric invitation to unconsciousness - but prompts the viewer to wake up. To shift from passive stupor of 'accepted reality' into a responsibility of discernment. The mind-in-its-illusion doesn't want to wake up and will do anything to reassert 'control' - but the perspective of awakening is indeed freedom and is worth anything to abide in the full and hearty appreciation thereof!
Waking to fear is not all the way - the fear is an alarm to bring attention present and NOT a call to war. War is the mind in which communication has been usurped and denied. Just say no!
Speaking truth to 'power' is of a desire to heal and to share sanity. The insane are never wholly 'out there' for we are all subscribers to the fantasy channel but in various shifting alliances of a mask that keeps a true and present conscious-ness at at bay - on hold, out of sight.
These games always end in tears or in some prodigal wasteland.
But at least that cuts through at last to the heart that feels and reconnects with the stirring of truth remembered, beneath the great projection.
Look up, Narcissus! - one is not defined in reflected image and concept, but in love's true sharing, in innocence revealed. None is special, to be left out, so release the wish of a 'self-exceptionalism' and its lens darkly, and uncover a totally different purpose active in all things.
Thanks for your attention.
