Losing Face - Brought to a Choice

The attempt to work within the 'system' under some hope of change is the price of becoming 'embedded journalism' that operates the proscribed 'standard of care', according to top-down global edicts by a hidden few who 'settle science' to impose 'consensus'.

A proper accounting for the 'system' is too disturbing to the consciousness that is identified and adapted within it as a power of protection - and yet it is also true that help is extended and received as a core nature of being even under the framing and subversion of  'systemic control'.

The replacement of a living Mind by a tool makes a slave of life - but also the illusion of a power over life.

Power over life makes life in its own image by rejecting and attack or denial of all that does not support its fantasy of control as the maintaining of separation from real relationship, communication and thus from Life in true functional endeavour and expression. It runs as a protection racket by deceit and coercion such as to undermine functional wholeness for some form of privileged survival in return for a compliance and allegiance to the system that has been called and shown to operate a 'Medical Mafia'. But as such is only a facet of a mind - or use of mind that has become a broad spectrum subjection, in terms of framing life - you, I and our world, in false and life-denying definitions for prediction and control OVER, rather than functional alignment to the Call and Nature of Life.

The intention of the Internet is in its makers, funders and global roll out by and for the purpose of possession and control - because such is the purpose running the mind of systemic dictate or rulebound perception and response. The shift from attracting investment of identity in freedom to proprietary capture of corporatised identities is now moving to the Internment of Things - in which all movement of energy and informational transaction is to be monitored and adjusted - but not to a discovered laws of science so much as the weaponisation and marketisation (possession and control) of manipulative narrative control.

So seeking to 'survive' or maintain privileged access or rights as ANH - is missing the wave for the particle.

One can also see all of this in terms of frequency vibration. The signal communicates to a resonant receptivity or 'mind-set'. The frequency of fear and attempt to control  from an imagined separateness from life is a dissonant blocking or jamming noise to the reaching of Life unto Its Own - but takes forms that substitute for and subvert the Living to symbolic representations, taken out of context and given false association.

Insofar as we are beings of Choice - recognising the choice we are in fact making, or persisting in without knowing we make it, is where all our conflict arises, because what we accept as our self or true of us and our world, is then given power of protection against threat perceived in its framing.

If you do not uncover a truly natural foundation from which and through which to recognise and share in the Living, it is as a direct result of active but often unmindful choice - or 'habit'.

The nature of our world at this time is making it harder to run the old habit as belief, conviction and allegiance - and so it is being revealed or re-offerred us to choose anew - or choose not to give unto fear what is due to love of life - even though fear's dissonance blocks, confuses and deceives the mind that gives attention there for power of protection.

Giving attention in Life rather than to models and images and representative currencies of life is Life through us - and to us as a relational extension and recognition. 

Losing Face is humiliating  but also freeing from the attempt to live the mask. Humility is a clear clean place without affectations of any kind. The habit of the 'world' is strong while it is co-created as a world of 'forgetting'. Choosing to join in re-Membering Life is releasing the surface-tensions of futility of control from the 'outside in', to a Movement of recognition whose nature is radiance or shared.

The only 'warning' is to become vigilant against deceit so as to hear and align in the Call to joy - regardless the conditions of a mind in conflict. Natural health is natural function of unselfconscious awareness in movement of being.

Disease process includes the bringing up of stored or unresolved conflicts and toxicities to a current awareness. Denials seek a light of acceptance for release when seen in light of willingness for peace of wholeness.

Who cares what anyone thinks?

I was not able to get the main comment to accept at the page titled
Beware of 'What British Muslims Really Think?' on Al Jazeera

I don't focus on Muslims any more than anyone else in addressing what I see as the issue that moved me to write.



"Correctness" of form operates personal or political power as a kind of thought control. But - as an old saying runs - "who is changed against their will is of the same opinion still". It is behaviour that is 'controlled by systems of incentive and penalty, and what can pass off as obedient alignment can thus hide in the form of being correct or acceptable and accorded respect.

What a 'man thinketh in his heart' may be undercurrent to surface or allowed 'consciousness'  - but is always active as the communication of current focus and acceptance. No one escapes their purpose.

So "what we really think" may not even be what we present to ourselves to mask or hide deeper and intolerable sense of rage in self hatred or fear - and so is it to the world that we also mask - and mask ourselves in. The masquerade of a struggle of powers to mask from, deny or distort communication, is itself an order of thinking that runs deeper than many who 'walk the world in armature' will ever imagine. But is reflected in our world because to mask something is not really to escape it - so much as to create a private 'mind' that automatically seeks and finds validation and reinforcement - that is - it operates to survive and prevail AS private and apart from and 'over and against others'.

The nature of an emergency of assertive imposture of control over mind leads to the loss of functionality of mind as a focus and channel of communication. Thoughts instead of opening and multiplying a scope of creative communication, become locked doors, brick walls and prisons - along with magic keys of promised escape from such 'prison'.

Definitions and beliefs that are no longer aligning true with who you feel and know yourself to be thus become as if sealed or locked in by 'personal' and group persona identities. So much so that issues can no longer be addressed without being subverted to the 'clash of personal identities' in which all sides of conflict operate to protect conflict as the source and determiner of perceived power. While calling on one's 'justifying script'.

How we obviously are defining ourself in relation to consciousness, power and identity is often a reversal of the true order - as a private assertion of self seeking external validation - and thus invoking and feeding external 'power' that undermines or invalidate inner freedom to receive and imagine and create real relationships that bring and share riches of many kinds and qualities.

The mind that is not aligned in the heart of what is consciously felt and known in true presence is often seen as a deceiver - and with good reason - for it is used to justify a false or masked sense of self - that has taken something of the true but set it in a private context of its own unquestioned thinking.

True willing is aligned within - not conformed without - though of course there is a parental role in the guiding of children to their own inner integrity of listening, feeling and knowing. Adults should not be encouraged to be passive dependants on state or any other institution. The desire for parental power can become a destructive obstruction to the development of consciousness whilst taking on 'controls' it cannot meet - and thus become overwhelmed and vulnerable to negative inlfuence.

When anything of the inner is turned to weapon, it loses its true or whole meaning to serve as mask of power.
But when turning to the inner within a true willingness for communication and relationship, is to pause from 'weapon' and discern the issues beneath the 'personality conflict' - and uncover the beliefs and definitions these issues embody. These have been laid down over millennia and have to be undone step by step. Perfect solutions allow no step to be taken, but one good step leads to another and perspectives shift. If God were a static perfection - there would be no unfolding or evolving of conciousness as to its true nature. True transcendence embraces all apparently opposing polarities, accepting that which is resonant to a true sense of one's own being without having to justify that by invalidating others.

It is not the words that make the man or woman - but the deeds that communicate the presence - or indeed the lack of Soul.
Words and concepts are currencies that can become adulterated through misuse and false worship - for they are not the thing they point to. They can conceal toxic debt in complex instruments of persuasion. Finding a true currency of exchange, communication and relationship has to start from the extension of true presence - which is naturally receptive and discerning of the willingness in the other - such as is present to join with in mutually honouring terms or strengthen by not joining in false currency. Trust has to be grown in a mutual honouring. Power can only 'trust' conditioned obedience.

Paranoia and fear does not allow inner receptivity for fear paints reality in sharp contrasts according to the fragment of Self each is identified with protecting and this polarizing of conflicted identity is an open invitation to a shadow third party manipulation and dominance.

The narrative reality is not truth, but the stories we tell that either align true, or mis-alignment we think we want more than truth - and so believe at expense of knowing and feeling within. Truth is not determined by thinking, but its recognition inspires thought and action of alignment - as we freely accept.

But what I feel and know within is not for me to ascribe and assert true of anyone else - though I can meet others of a like willingness. But - for the sake of making a point - if I should seem to conform others to believe the same it will also be they who manipulate me so that they do not have to awaken responsibility of thought - for this is where power is given so as to use others to get it back-handedly. There is always a pay-off for whatever we believe - even unconsciously - or it would not be running. But closer re-evaluation will find much that we took to be true is not - and much of what we took to be symptom of disease or disorder is a true messenger unrecognized. If we assert our own identity, we deny and deprive the joy of being identified in love - be that in any of the innate or true qualities of Life. Asserted 'love' in the form of learned behaviours can only mimic and mask towards gaining acceptance.

What do we really feel about our thought? This may be too simple to ask - but if we feel fear in the fruits - then there is fear in the roots. I see Humanity as a great diversity of experience and perspectives that hold potential for war of conflicted 'power' or for sharing power in which war is not waged against the living - so much as embodying a unifying willingness for Life; giving as we in truth would receive - rather than as un-checked thinking would react.

"What do I really think"? Well in time, every kind of thought has some representation - but that does not mean they gain acceptance as that from which I live, or keep it if they teach me to choose better. That is the choice by which I align with unified purpose in Life. Our fruits communicate regardless the forms may deceive. If 'Caesar' insists on controlling the narrative - then of course 'Caesar' is given his due. But giving unto God that which is due means honouring Creation - Life - and discerning it beneath the distortions of personal and cultural masking. These words don't have to be your words for your feeling of the meaning to be true of you. Life is not forced on us against our true will - though is certainly seems to be when we have conflicted purpose within it. Life is a gift only recognized in giving likewise - not because you should... or Else! But because you are truly moved to freely accept - perhaps after learning what does not work!

The idea of making thought conform usurps love's function of freely choosing to cooperate and share in a greater sense of joining. We all have our 'reasons' as to why we withhold our blessing or withdraw our presence - and this thinking runs mostly un-checked. Does fear in fact protect us from loss, harm or corruption, or does it blind us to guidance in Life that helps to heal these deeply imprinted ways of thinking and seeing? When the baby is thrown out with the bath water there is no real attending to the living. Ideas are easy to play in - but consequences can be very painful and all idea accepted and lived as true desire - has consequence. This is not incentive and threat. Sowing and reaping is in every choice we make and every thought we accept by living as if it is true.

A commenter said: Who cares what Muslims think.

Once you can judge what others think, you can invalidate them. Once they are defined thus they can be forced to 'correct' or forcibly treated by a self-righteous duty! 

Because you 'care' to judge a category used to identify a group of diverse people, you embody such exclusivity or 'elitism'. If you had said 'who cares what anyone thinks' you may have uttered something wise.

I care that you know you have a choice as to where you get your thinking from. When everyone aligns with elitism, power trickles up to evaporate. The loss of consciousness on Earth is disguised by clever thinking - as is the usurpation and evaporation of wealth.

Creating your own reality to counter terrorism

Create Your Own Reality to Counter Terrorism

Reality coercion or indeed manufacture can be called mindcontrol or indeed 'mind'.
Whatever and whoever defines - sets the narrative script meanings that automatically follow.
You accept definitions as true for you or true of you - whether consciously realizing this or not.
These give rise to perspective experience of the Totality - from the differentiated perspective.
Transparency to awareness embraces the Individual expression within the Totality - and this is the feeling experience of intimacy - of being wholly known.
Opacity to awareness is an assertive focus within the idea of a differentiated self - which is then engaged in managing its 'self' experience within a divide and rule sense of  opposition - because a differentiated 'self' is the idea of opposition - where cause is assigned to effect and the focussing identity subjects itself to an unrecognized reflection - that it interprets as enemy rather than feedback that can serve correcting definitional error. Thus is the attempt to invoke and assert power over a mis-identified creation.
There are as many perspectives on this as moments of individual experience but the critical point I feel to off is that the rising of transparency in a convergent global consciousness makes the assertive, coercive and deceitful identity redundant. And this is bringing it back to its beginning - for  it arose to limit a sense of chaotic thought, feeling and experience that was otherwise intolerable to and yet cause by... identifying in self-image or concept.
The fear that set the whole thing off is now reflected back in the very means that was invoked to cover, limit and split off from or protect against it. But the harvest of the Human experience is not set in the narrative terms of the negative or separated identification within its personality structure - but in the direct embrace of a transcendent acceptance and embrace of Totality.
There is a choice here as to whether to 'wake up' ; to reintegrate to an embracing Sanity - or to persist in asserting a sense of power over by the deceit and pretence of denial of what is truly felt, and would be thus uncovered to the willingness to NOT reject the messengers that  'control' believes it must deny to prevail, or 'survive' within terms acceptable to (maintain) such a fixed and rigid sense of self-concept.
Reality is a Totality Presencing Itself AS this Moment - as this Movement of Being - including all that it contains. However definitions, meanings and beliefs that are out of true with who you feel and know yourself to be will effectively obstruct, distort, filter and deny any transparency to What is Being Here - and so these are our individual and collective responsibility to re-evaluate in the light of a true willingness to Wholeness and Sanity - allowing that every form of answer is already being used to deceive at any point of divided or conflicted purpose.
The mind of judgement wove the patterns of dissociation, displacement and defence - and is no guide to its undoing - but only to its persistence in the guise of 'seeking answer'.
Recognizing that the mind - in the sense of our thinking - is completely untrustworthy and delusory - is the instant of shift to a perspective in which to discern the Living and indeed awake from the dead. It may not seem like that to the mind that re-asserts itself a moment or more hence - but it is the practice in which feeling the true operates more and more transparently - with thinking being an expression - not a controller. In simple terms the heart opens and the mind automatically aligns to its true function. But saying or thinking this sort of thing is just the form associated with an intimacy of recognition.
Form follows function and a hollowness of form follows a usurping or denial of true function.
As the world about us becomes more intensely intrusive to hollow meanings that can no longer be supported or indeed believed - we each make choices as to what we accept true of us - and it is this choice that everything else follows.
The obstructions to simply feeling what is true are the backlog dump of trauma-conditioning that cannot clear out of the way until there is acceptance to its movement. Do we go crazy or do we pass though craziness in willingness for restored Sanity? Its a moment by moment choice determined by what we invest in or accept as true worth or desirable value.
Blame and guilt, fear and hate feelings are not wrong to uncover - and so to bring to a deeper honesty - even if they feel like shit. But if these are simply left on a default hookup to attack and denial of one's true feeling being, of others and of Life itself - then death in vengeance is the accepted choice regardless the candy coverings.
EVERYTHING serves the purpose you (or anyone) has set for it. To be on purpose is to be awake, whole, unconflicted and transparent - and this is very difficult experience to discern and navigate. But willingness can work with proxy experience and not have to manifest all fears in outer reality in order to reopen relationship where they asserted loveless denial.
The 'deceiver works all sides of every conflict to preserve the 'dynamic' of conflict and blank the creative channel of discernment. Others may enact and hold this role for you until you recognize its correspondence. Nothing comes to you without a welcome at some level of you but that calls for an embrace of the denied unconscious to a greater integration - not the you of self presentation or inward reflection.
There are many ways to slice and finding what perspectives align with your current sense of resonance and relevance is the focus - not being right or better or special as a result - unless of course that is your heart's desire and then of course go for it - and discover more than you bargained for.
I see the Creator as the Creative and feel not to use terms like create my reality - excepting with qualifying statements. Our definitional structure generates experience of Reality that is Itself un experience able excepting through the Word or Vibrational Signature that both calls forth and defines. To be the Receptive as directed prompted or guided, allows the pristine quality of Creation to rise of Itself. As this ordinary moment of existence - but Embraced within an Intimacy that simply has no counterpart in the world of separation - though all its seeks is some 'form' of restoration or reconnection to tangibly felt Meaning, power, worth, joy and a true peace in which all Life's innate qualities are recognisably Life.
Nothing is clear to read or understand that there is not willingness and acceptance for. But the discerning of coercive deceits reveals what is not worthy of giving worth to - excepting as one's reactions reveal more about one's own hidden 'malware'.

But yes bring forth from true presence and if that means nothing yet - then don't make any significant acts or decisions until you have located where you are by releasing what you are not.

The DB suggest mobility is part of the answer - and it may be - but beneath that is fluidity replacing rigidity. For to not act or not run or not hide - may in fact be aligning with who you are and thus unfold your optimal path - just as action, avoidance or being unavailable may also serve. The key point is that discernment of self-honouring is a Living quality and not a method or a trend or a technique.
Teach a man to trust his smell of something fishy and he doesn't need to be constantly protected with rules and defences.

Scapegoating and the demonisation of thought.

Nobel-prize winning scientist Tim Hunt lands in hot water with UCL after making sexist, degrading remarks about Women


Beneath the mask of self-righteousness, is a blind hatred unleashed. Who hates themself but 'sees' the hated in another - and scapegoats them to satisfy a secret appetite?
The image I present here is ubiquitous as the deceiving device whereby shadow power operates a wolf in sheep's clothing. Using the desire to take offense, in the name of crying victim, within the guise of the suffering of others, as a manipulative device.
Fear OF communication is inevitable to the mind that attempts to use coercion in the form of communication and defend such a position as an agenda of power or indeed of notional security.
The deceit by which we subscribe to a currency of assertion of power over communication - over truth, is that in which the forms of truth are weaponised. But ONLY as one elects and accepts such a false frame of reference to cuckold one's true being.
So notice and discern and choose what and how you witness. For hatred feeds and fuels a false god. Love the true and realise what Jesus means by "resist ye not evil" - for that is its bait and hook to make you its own. Who loves to hate must fear to love - yet love alone reveals a wholeness of true being.
To love truth is natural to anyone who recognizes and releases attempts to love a power of self-specialness - as if it alone is true - set apart and against all else.

PS
To reclaim true power is to act from it and in it and as it. To operate from a position of having been attacked is to use the ruse of one's wound to accuse and abuse another in like kind. That abusers learn the model of abuse is notable, but that this is the only or best model for relating is questionable and false. SOMEONE has to be willing to break the cycle and that someone can ONLY be one who owns a deeper honesty of being than vengeance and self-specialness.

Mindgrabbing

Tesco's Secret Weapon In The Christmas Android Tablet Wars

Tesco look to dominate a tablet 'Christmas'. Hudl up around a fake tree and get some entrancing sweeties. Not that the device itself has any major drawback - but the models that are driving the market are the effects of a consciousness of our time.



Yes, Microsoft demonstrated the power of marketing Windows. Apple redefined it in their comeback as a cool device/ecosystem/identity. Now almost everyone is offering ‘Apple’ presentations and displays as their own grab at mindshare.
Mindgrabbing is the name of the game in an emergent informational proprietary.
Who controls or owns the mind owns the game…
But I feel this new (dark?) age of management, manipulation and milking all things for simply more wealth and dominance will be a surprisingly short one.
meanwhile the dealers are giving out sweets and cheap highs – and it is an exciting time to be alive amidst what would a while ago have seemed magical powers – as long as your device is charged, connected and not hijacked or hacked by terrorist states or criminal corporate interests or teenagers with identity issues.

NSA: One Ring to rule them all and in the darkness bind them?

After Edward Snowden's revelations....

The mythos or story beneath the Lord of the Rings postulated a very similar abuse of power and technology - albeit in symbolic terms. One Ring to rule all the others.
On the discovery that the guidance, skill and support of Sauron had been all along but a feigned kindness over an intent to control, open war broke out. Most 'power ring' wielders were absorbed to become simply agencies of control and domination while a few hid them.

While not presuming to swallow a 'fairy story', such stories nevertheless serve as vehicles of transmitting insights or cultural wisdom. For there is nothing new under the sun in it's principle, if not its form of expression.

My own contribution is to call attention not to the worldly expressions (regarding secrecy, privacy and control) in themselves - but to see that they are embodiment of a mindset of deception IN WHICH WE ALL HAVE A SHARE. It is inevitable that a pervasive mentality of control seeks to extend itself via new technology - using the veil of helpfulness, free goodies and promises of a better world for all. But we CAN recognize the agenda beneath the mask because it is our own REFLECTION. And we CAN change our mind - or rather the active purpose of our desire and intent.

In the Tolkien story, it transpires that one of the little folk of no apparent consequence - with no great store of a 'will to power' becomes the active symbol of the relinquishment of that 'will to power'.

While there are 'battles' of competing and conflicting interests in the world, there is also the dimension of our own personal will; that is, our thinking, our masks of secrecy and deception and a hidden intent which both calls these into existence and maintains their justification for employment.

Put simply it is the intent or wish to prevail over another, and over life, at the other's expense. This mindset has received a sort of sanctification in modern thought as 'genetic' programming at the heart (sic) of Life. But a moment's pause reveals that we embody it as a parasite upon our own Life - in terms of person, relations, and planet.

The issues of control and trust are as ever at the very root of human consciousness. To uncover the root to reveal a different foundation is not unlike the 'journey to Mordor'. Not where one would otherwise choose to bring focus to. But one might say that the darkness is coming after us whether we yield, hide or flee - ANYWAY. So to reconsider everything in the light of the thinking (beliefs and definitions) that embody it - as a direct observation in one's own daily living is in some sense to wake up from the compulsive or mesmeric fascinations of the Big Screen of the World.

Whatever the World Is - can not be known about but through the filters of our mutual definitions and beliefs. I am saying that Consciousness - in its truly active nature sets up the experience we are having and yet is inseparable from the World that is in a sense, dreamed real.
The technology of our day is reflecting the releasing of the apparent separations of our personal or human consciousness from its true Nature and Source.

Not everything about this Global Convergence of technologies is evil or dangerous, but the crisis that it opens in our midst is that of having to accept responsibility (not blame) for our thoughts - for our consciousness and for those aspects of what we called or rendered unconscious, to be accepted and integrated.

It is a fairy story indeed to think that one could hide from truly Living Communications within Concepts kept secret from All That Is. Truth will out!
But a mentality of manipulation and control will subvert this in any-which-way it can - so as to persist as your own.

Secrets are ultimately that which we are trying to keep from ourselves. Control at home is served by setting up a 'foreign agenda'. That's why we don't look within and simply see the deception de-cloaked.

But the recent events reflect that in fact this de-cloaking IS occurring in our conscious awareness.
"Just say No" to being part of the 'botnet' of intent to wield fear and division in an attempt to control in our Name.

Through a Google Glasses Darkly?

 An article on Google Glasses in The Telegraph:

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).

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.

(The system is rigged) Ex Barclays executive warns Libor system still not fixed four years after warning

The underlying pattern I see is that of a lobby of separative self serving interest, (that believes its own voice), convinces you, the government of service and representation for the whole, that its voice is your own and you must do what it says or else terrible consequences will result. One step buys into a lie, in which you are 'owned' by a thinking and a will that has made of you a puppet of a self serving interest. But only while you accept and validate the voice as your own guidance and protection.

I am attempting to point to the roots here, not just of this single issue, but of something endemic to our habit of consciousness.

We humanly tend to mythologise everything. Mr Diamond - or even the banks or 'rogue' financial sector are not themselves the cause - but are effects of a deeper cause.

If we pull off the tops of the weeds, we may feel a momentary satisfaction, but unless we go to the roots, the weeds will be back soon enough.

Our public thinking and our political acts are expressing a superficial and self seeking mask.

The desire to scapegoat is not the correction (of awakened Reason), but the indulgence and manipulation of emotional mythological derivatives - that if truly accounted, would reveal a lack of true presence. (The same voice of separate self serving, lobbying our mind for the maintaining of the mask by which we think to protect our separate interest).

Unless one awakens to the nature - and from the thrall - of such thinking, then the scam is not truly exposed, but has merely sacrificed a part of itself for the hidden seeding in the new growth.

That which hollows out and lays to waste, and turns all things to misery and war, is in our thought.

When thought substitutes for trueliving, an error occurs by which a false identification seeks to get itself free. It calls forth a voice of a separative self interest. If you can feel that, then you can also leave it unused and listen with a fresh curiosity for that of your very being that knows you and therefore knows the guidance of restoring a true harmony of being to a self that seems to be at war within itself and without!

Home truths are not manipulations, but tend to be humbling for the self we imagined to be. This is good news - though it comes as heartbreak. A true foundation is Priceless.

Thank you for your attention.

The power to kill remotely, anywhere at anytime - under the aegis of 'war on terror'

Fear is not the basis of culture, nor the protector or guide to the renewal and upholding of that culture. But it would coerce our minds to believe it was.

Fear is taken advantage of and even directly triggered or fuelled by manipulative intent to control minds. It is very effective in seducing its wielders into a sense of having power - and using it to serve personal or private agendas.

To 'legitimize' assassination at will of anyone, anywhere by technological means is first introduced by the US, but will be implemented by other 'powers' as they get their supply of weapons systems. The use of such weapons illegitimizes the power that wields it by revealing the brute will at work, divorced from any kind of process of communication or appeal.

The only counter to technology of such capacities is transparency of information, and a process of communication that disarms deception by refusing to collude in it. At some point this may result in being branded a terroristor  some equivalent 'status' and being dehumanized and 'processed' accordingly.

Fear is on both sides of every conflict and plays to keep the game of conflict/control going. But the real enemy is not where fear points to - but your own fearful thoughts believed true.

If politics has failed, it is only in its present forms - for human relationships and organizations have always been conflicted between communication and control. Whatever the world may seem to play out, we each are able to make peace within by choosing a true communication in which fears can be observed and dissolved - rather than hidden and allowed to 'control' in the dark.

The way to shake off evil influences is to become wholly harmless. This does not mean the removal of force from the range of our communication - but desisting from employing hate and fear as our intent amidst disguise of righteousness.

The change that is called for is in the hearts and minds of those who see the nature of the deception and recognize their own part in it.
Those who are without the proclivity to 'sin' do not throw stones, but seek a true communication - with both hands above the table!

The embodiment of an evil will or intent, invites psuedo religious righteousness in opposition to that evil. For that is how one covers over and distracts from a self-sense of invalidity or illegitimacy.

Criminal acts require proportionate response. The 'war on terror' is really a war on Sanity itself. While each plays out their own part in an insanity, it seems to make reality support their own delusions.
There is an alternate to fighting the shadow of a hated aspect of our own mind, but not if one does not WANT to find it!

Ownership and control of Information (Google's search overhaul)

 (I feel the issues around search technology go far deeper than is generally discussed or acknowledged and so I comment at that level)



Communication is generally blocked or distorted by application of  bias towards manipulating that process for private gain.

This inevitably leads to a war of competition and of armouring or workaround against such tactics, and escalates such that sharing information of integrity is lost.

When rules are made, they never lead to the expected or intended result because  the mind that makes its own rules looks for ways to exploit them for its own end.

Integrity of information and intent is increasingly scarce amidst a flood of information  designed to simply catch clicks in order to garner adword revenue.

That there is a reciprocal arrangement in which everyone wins ought to be the nature of transaction. Google succeeded by offering minimal distraction to searchers and also of generally offering a fast service that quickly led to finding what was sought.

In becoming by far the most used search service, they also command a vast advertising revenue as the place to advertize via - as well as an almost monopolistic power within which those who desire to be found by those who would benefit from finding them, have to work.

The movement is to personalizing our profile, such that our mind will be read via our history of usage and catered for. If such a path is being taken, I feel we should have transparency - and the capacity to  edit or delete our usage profile. Divide and rule is the nature of the breakdown of trust and therefore communication.

"Do no evil" is not about fitting into the filters of what anyone thinks is good or bad - but of aligning only with that which honours an integrity of wholeness. Deception, coercion and manipulation are normal aspects of politics, business and social transaction, but only insofar as we choose to act our such intent.

Tolkien may have been prophetic in the story of the 'one ring to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them' - because technology is seeming to offer such an opportunity to the (fearful) mind that wants such control.

Perhaps the direct evidence of such attempt to enslave, is triggering an awakening. First to that which was no longer trustworthy or meaningful to engage in or with - and secondly to the basis from which a true sanity of being can arise and know its own.

Free will is not a divine right to use all things for selfish ends - but is the capacity to realize the suffering or dysfunction we experience is a reflection of choices we are making and can therefore desist from validating.

Worldly power can seem to impose itself, but it does not have to be validated in our hearts and minds. Insofar as we are tempted to wield it, we need to tune in to a deeper sense of aliveness than reactive self interest, if we want to grow the Peace in place of feeding war.

speech crime (BBC News)

When is offence a matter of ego, or hurt feelings - and when is it offensive to the health and wellbeing of society as a whole?

This ought to be something that the relevant authorities concerned - starting with those involved in dispute, their employers, and if all else fails, a judge - ought to be easily able to discern.

Why not? Because a self righteous anti racist culture is setting the agenda. To fall foul of such a culture is to be vilified.

'Otherism' or scapegoatism - UNDER ANY guise or pretext - is undermining of truth - upon which we all utterly depend for sanity and integrity. It accords a negative value or lack of worth to another living soul because of taking offense.

When the offense issues from an emotional outburst arising from a heated exchange, an apology should be sought and accepted if offered - and made a basis of resumed relations. For such offence is the reaction of the hurt, hurting back - and this is hardly the act or intention of someone in their right mind.

To shift social attitudes so as to draw a line that says it is not ok to denigrate others in specific ways that before had been largely socially acceptable - is a step forward. But we cannot then attempt to use the force and the rule of law for controlling speech without nurturing the very conditions that seed hatred.

Externally applied control is a very dangerous tool, for life does not work, or align creatively and constructively, by being controlled - no matter how much force applied - nor how subtle or ingenious our lawmaking.

We need to use proportionate force to uphold and protect ourselves as a society so as to have stability enough in which to learn and grow in our humanity. For education is the dance of relationship in which conditions of trust are established in which blocks to creativity and intelligence are passed beyond and a mutual sense of worth is shared.

Life insults us daily - it does not support our personal plans. We are often frustrated, limited or opposed by every kind of circumstance. Some seem petty and others are devastating to us.

There are times to make a stand and if need be, our Spirit is our treasure, for if we let others cause us to lose our Spirit, we lose all that we are.

Those who do not live in their Spirit are mean-minded and blind to the living soul in others - having only the letter of the law.

The realignment of our society with truth is the adjustment from which all else will follow. If racism - or anythingism - is kept in the dark, suppressed but not undone - then it festers unhealed and continues to control us not only in terms of racism - but in terms of anti racism.

To ‘open a debate’ or to communicate with a purpose of healing rather than of strategic advantage, it is necessary that the notion and nature of speech or thought crime be properly discerned.

When we attack ourselves through the proxy of a scapegoat, we may get some sense of a passing satisfaction, but no one can put their hatred upon another and have it actually out of their own mind thereby! This is truth. But not the whole truth. For hatred is born of hurt, and hurt is born of a fearful sense of self and life. This is where healing can be accepted and conflict undone.

It is the currency of our notions of self and world that we trade as if real, that sets humanity up for a humiliating but ultimately humbling awakening.

To be vigilant for signs of personal attack so as to claim abuse is to feed the monster that sucks dry our Spirit. To attack attackers is surely self defeating.

Yes, we do need to constrain the self (or other) harming as part of a greater process - but that process must arise or extend from a true measure of love and wisdom - or else its just a recycling of history with all the inherent misery and woe wrapped up in a rebranded presentation.

Thanks for your attention
