Rats in the mind of doublethink

in reply to
https://off-guardian.org/2019/06/13/orwell-prize-who-made-the-cut/

Orwell described a problem in a way that seemed to be some sort of sketching out of a dystopian trend - though his original title was '1948' ...

Doublespeak is the mind's capacity to package toxic contradiction into narrative acceptance so as to avert, escape or mitigate 'Room 101'.

Perhaps the elephant in the room regarding such masked and deceitful tyrannous thought, word and acted-out outcome is fear of pain of loss.

Orwell's crucifiction of his protagonist is without any resurrection or redemption and so is a toxic message that SEEMS to impart privileged information to an actually controlled 'opposition'.

Addressing the fears, hates and denials in our psyche as a willingness for healing instead of the persistence of an opposition to the conditioned and induced hatred, is to stop feeding the Troll and open to other ways of seeing, which includes uncovering and undoing self-contradictions in our thought and emotional investment.

Part of the issue I see is the attempt to morally coerce the mind set in fear and division or 'evil' towards 'goodness'. For it is the same force that effects a state of division in the first place.

This signature pattern is pervasive to our thinking and so to our world, as a protection racket. That is it offers 'protection' in exchange for sacrifice of Life - but as a self-justified and necessary lesser evil, packaged as if a positive or a power in its own right.

How does one uncover, face and allow fear to be undone of its hidden role in the mind?

By watching the mind (our thought, emotional and physical reaction), instead of running it - or rather allowing it to run unwatched while diverted and distracted by a false flagged world. 

It is the nature of denial to project away as an exclusion or rejection, by the same law that a positive appreciation automatically shares out or radiates. To know what we do, is to be awake and on purpose. That we can think we know when we are in fact sleepwalking is so self -evident as to need no other example than any moment of observation.

Part of the role of demons or terror symbols is of guarding the treasure. Fear of love's intimacy generates diversionary drama to protect the fear from full exposure or transparency and accountability. And does so in the name or under the symbol, image or wish of love. Masked in the forms of what it is the denial of.

Love is the capacity to be with what is to the revealing of the recognition of truth.

What is a cage of starved and ravenous rats set about one's head but the symbol of an inner conflict fleshed out? Enforced scarcity under deceit breeds controllable appetites or indeed golems for needs must and invested wants become socially inducted and accepted as needs and thus a social exclusion to be without. Social credit (carbon-guilt) or otherwise is a development of the idea of a rigged system of control. Those who comply and conform in allegiance to a god of sacrifice temporarily gain support in keeping their fears outside their bubble.

Who can call on truth while engaged in its denial as bubble of self-protection - excepting in imaged symbol or concepts that reinforce the bubble of separation from the feared or hated?

We assign to conditions the results of our own conditioning. To rewaken as presence is not an act of rebellion to a past made in anger but the freedom to walk out of a mind no longer spellbound under its own word.

As for the call to give attention to a substitute reality? Let the dead bury the dead is not an abandonment or judgement against the living, but rather a refusal to join in the reinforcement of false thinking or emotional coercion. No one actually IS the role they play in the world or in any particular relational context. But we all assign or cast others in the roles we give them.

The core elements or archetypes of myth or drama structure our psyche as the basis for the development of the personality construct. Prometheus' room 101 was the flip side of stealing the 'light of the Gods'.

But if we have it - is is freely given to the asking. We only run off with the guilt of a false light, by which to seem to become 'as gods' yet meet its flip side as a sense of subjection and powerlessness.

Our core separation fallacy re-enacts as the victim and the victimiser down through the millennia - as if the latter could ever become victorious over Life - as its usurper and replacement. Chasing a fantasy by which to evade or avert a feared self-revealing. "It's life Jim, but not as can be truly known or shared".

'Zombie Apocalypse' or' Alien disclosure' may be closer to home than 'Out There'. Sleepwalking minds in blind bodies invoke an alien will - a power from 'outside' to save them from themselves. The demand for unconsciousness generates the conditions that support and maintain it - under some guise of passing off a placeholder instead of a living presence.

The ability to Call or Ask is not hardwired to a self-conflict, but having received it we cannot see any real choices. This is the same as saying we are free to deny our  free will, so as to no longer recognise that its consequence is also an expression of freedom as power to accept. Whatever we accept as our self/reality we go forth from and multiply in our relational experience. The idea of the denial of the will by the limitation and division of mind, is an illusion of power that depends on what it attacks to seem to exist. Such self-contradictions do not bear exposure, and so secrets and lies operate notional security or 'intelligence' that makes sacrifice of the Living to keep a dead system 'sustainable'. 

'Too big to fail' means too invested in to allow willingness to re-evaluate. 'The Show must go on!' But are we a captive audience, or are we always inherently free to give attention, and thus value and meaning, to thought arising from wholeness absent coercion - instead of doublethink in support of a driven or compulsive re-action? For not all thought is a 'blocking signal', but only that which gnaws like rats at our mind in guise of 'protecting us' from a defencelessness against truth and freedom, as hidden agenda of pain masking as joy.

Framed by a Dispossession

https://off-guardian.org/2019/05/01/zero-percent-of-elite-commentators-oppose-regime-change-in-venezuela/?replytocom=154772#respond

in reply to the above:

Mortal terror and fear of pain of loss, underlies all tyranny. Have you another view?

Framed in terror is the struggle of defence against it - and the emulation and alignment within it.

The conventional commenting framework reiterates the same themes repeatedly.

Human conditioning reiterates the same themes repeatedly.

How you choose to frame your reality is up to you.

But the ability of mind to recognise a framing is the shifting from a distorted and conflicted reality to a recognition of coherence.

It is the nature of the mind to see what does not fit or support its framing as dissonant, ridiculous or offensive.

As for C02 - the life-giving must be demonised in order to frame the self-destruction as attractive, salvatory or a necessary moral sacrifice.

Framing of the mind in its own thinking is our capacity for self-illusion.

And in a sense - the 'self' illusion.

Usurping of the true by the false MUST be a giving up of the true to the false and CANNOT be an actual power set over and against true.

Does that have relevance for Venezuela?

The wielding of the US proxy for global tyranny.

My last comment was a responding 'installation' to BigB's post, reflecting perennial themes in terms of modern tech-induced dissociations - and while it did not specifically address Venezuela, the situation in Venezuela - as part of our new world disorder is not a separate symptom or disease from the body politic - which is also the politic of the Corps.

Framing in the corporate is a resonant correspondence to the 'love of form' associated with 'Satan' - or form based reality AS the ONLY truth - which as a world MUST rule out the Creative from a mind to possess and control.

Insofar as we are invested in and participant in this world, the practical issue is the basis of our guidance or 'intel'. Because EVERYTHING else is subordinated to its framing interpretation.

The usurping of 'intel' is mind-control. But always by the agreement or consent of the subject but through the framing in deceit. Nonetheless, the decision to act as if something is true is and act of acceptance and belief and investment of identity that then automatically elicits protection or defence. Mind-capture is where the subjects operate the protection and enforcement of their own unfreedom. 

How is it possible that power of life and in life be brought so low?

For Life is not absent.

But is the rendering of such a conflicted and limited state an actual and active choice being enacted as direct and lawful consequence of ideas being given acceptance, investment and allegiance?

Are we running on false or indeed a deceitful 'intel'? - under a notional security that operates a law of diminishing returns?

Beneath the sideshow are surely such an entangled mess of dependencies, that anything true has to be denied because it would reveal the lie in any of innumerable facets that cannot then be limited and so any part of a hateful and deceitful system is deemed 'too big to fail' and given not only protection but persists as an ongoing sacrifice of the living to the dead. So give them narratives of diversionary shock fear to leverage hope of saving from a 'framedevil' by which to feel 'morally justified' by compliance of investment that makes it their own.

Time can waste as well as being wasted.

Under shock-doctrine time is collapsed to a fight flight imperative. YOU MUST ACT NOW TO SAVE the Planet, humanity, the polar bears, your children, the future, your self.

This is the undermining and overriding of the mind 's capacity to monitor its own thought - and the hack by which to induce belief by reaction of invested identity.

Does fear MAKE you powerless or do you GIVE power to fear.

Where you go for your 'intel' remains your choice - always. But you must see that the usurping of a mind under fear operates to block out and deny any other voice.

There is a basis for self-governance that has not 'sold itself' to fear.

This means owning and reviewing our conflicts and contradictions with a willingness to uncover healing, integrative opportunity and practical ways to grow and embody trust in place of hates and fears born of judgement set in private and polarising agenda of possession and control. Its framing is hidden only by our willingness to focus within or through its limiting belief.

If you want to possess reality in form, you limit your reality. The form does not DO it to you - nor another who invites you to share the form. But the invested identity in form sets up an addictive 'hungry ghost' by which to seem possessed of an insatiable lack. Driven by compulsion and weaponised to defend control of supply.

Dystopian Prophecies - can we envision a Future?

Huxley to Orwell: contrasting dystopias
(This links to a letter from Huxley to Orwell - and a page of comments beneath)

This I commented to the main article:

Within the core plot lines, the consolidation of power divides humanity into masters and slaves - not unlike HG Wells in The Time Machine; predators and prey. This is 'hidden' from plain sight by controlled narratives of history, education, and governance. It is a diversionary play by which to manage or bear the life allotted - for stepping out of line will bring down as likely the hatred and invalidation of  a mob of peers - as a result of manipulated opinions that may operate with hardly a little nudge here and there. Because we are in the main so powerless? Or because we in the main are entangled in suggestion by which we limit ourselves, undermine, ourselves, censor and mask our true presence, giving over to those who seem to do for us what we feel unable or unwilling and giving us the withheld position of criticizing and opposing when 'leaders' and 'systems' don't provide what we in effect demand - largely to remain unconscious of our responsibilities as consciousness. The blame game is predicated on guilt and outsourcing as much as possible to anywhere and anyone else. Power-lust is guilt and fear driven - even in its supporting net-bot population.
Ideas are the foundation of every definition, belief and thus of every action and response. But one cannot change an idea with a counter idea - for that only reinforces it. We have to recognize and OWN the ideas or definitions by which we live in order to be in the freedom to choose a different perspective where the old or current identity is found to be not representative of who you or indeed we feel and know ourself to be.
An identity conformed by negatively conditioned 'thinking' operates denial of such a noticing - as a survival trait - and that has been a key role in power on Earth. Terror symbols and triggers regulate our 'consciousness'. Even the 'positive' is generally framed in negative terms of 'free from', power that subdues evils and limitations, but all in the shadow of pain and death.
The human conditioning is so deeply imprinted that challenging or questioning it is reserved for the deranged - for sanity is redefined by tacit agreement to be the adaptation to survive and prevail WITHIN the conditioning - not to abide in Reason regardless of the force of terror - or indeed of rage, shame or self-hatred.
But I point to the 'place' no one wants to feel - but which is pervasive of our lives whether our 'consciousness'  opens to notice and feel it or whether it is successfully repressed and projected away to 'others' who carry the past we don't even recall though it recycles the same pattern regardless the form-changes.
When psychological defences break down - there is a choice as to whether to give more power to externalized systems of control - so as to get back in role, or whether to wake up to wonder what is defending what - and against who. That is to be stirred to a curiosity and willingness to know that is not framed within the social or even human matrix - so much as a willingness to presence that is not fear-defined control. Now I know that when this rises for us we at first identify it with outer conditions which change, seem to betray us or are denied us by forces we cant control. And perhaps we give up on joy in being - there and then and believe love is weak, heretical or treacherous and at best a dream of a private wish that can never be - yet can never quite be utterly banished wither.
There is every conditioning to 'forget' here and little to hold faith with what revealed itself true - regardless that our minds were then triggered into hate and fear - for though we mask it even to ourself - these 'negative' feelings move in us  beneath the heavy overcoat of civilised masking.
Finding ourself painted into a corner - at the end of the line - with no more wiggle room - at our wit's end - so to speak - is the great opportunity amidst the inevitably generated crisis - because - whether we like it or not - we are meeting our 'unconscious or denied feelings and the attempt to contain or control them is increasing DIS-order. ...Shadow government and black ops - with 'leaders' and institutions preying on us or abandoning us  - or finding themselves powerless to act amidst ever more complexity of paralysis and indebtedness. the whole thing is a mess - but yet we live this day. And we live this day. The dire consequences unfolding to awareness are disturbing. This disturbance can be used to align more deeply in self-honesty than we have ever allowed before - and when I say 'we' I mean each of us as an individual, for our own reasons - not a collectivist movement of organised assertion.
If readers take me to mean resort to more thinking - they are missing my point. the denial of our feeling being is a dis-honesty that pictures out on our world as an elitism of disconnected self superior 'mind' over Life on Earth. It is a hateful and destructive power - and therefore not creative or serving and creative endeavour. It has to serve - not lead - as a natural expression of relationship uncovered in place of an ancient hatred.

But yes - one can continue in the Great Game and play the role out. Is there a Great Awakening? Disregard opinion - and look and see... and feel. What other path leads on except deeper insanity in darkness with survival possibly worse than destruction. For if human becomes a monster - and many believe we already are a virus on the Earth undeserving of life - then mutate and toxify and bio-manipulate without check or borders and open scenarios of hateful suffering and misery unimagined - except of course by those avidly working such agenda in the pursuit of their prize.

The non-fiction bible for thought control is Edward Bernays’ ‘Propaganda’. The methods recommended have proven and are proving successful enough for now.
” The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. …In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”

My reply:

Power is a short lived evaporation. Admittedly the time scale may seem slow – but the power over life is always the hollow dysfunctionality of an insane choice – and an insane world is no ‘victory’.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Judge not – lest ye be judged. What you give out is what you get back. As you reap – so shall you sow.
The reason we are generally a net-bot of hacked minds is simply an acquiescence of will. Or rather it is the conforming within a denial of blaming and guilting true willingness – so as to limit, cage, divide and conquer. But this is not victory – but death. Though for some these are one and the same.
Manipulators do not see their own ‘back-doors’ such is the diversion and seduction of power and the promise of ‘protection’. Of course they can ‘get away with it’ – but their reward is the fruit of their choice – while mine is the fruit of
what I accept as worthy, meaningful and true.
Mind-control is the frequency of ‘possession’ and if your believe your need to control your experience, relationships or feeling being – then perhaps what possesses you is holding onto something you value that costs you a true awareness and appreciation of Life?
I do agree that your quote points a direction – and that is to look into our consciousness and awaken from false foundations by which we are deceived. Because – whether it is fashionable to say so or not – the deceiver is in our midst – and I mean that personally – not merely politically. I say: use the outer reflection to awaken a true communication within. What is that? Try it and see. If I tried to substitute my though for your discovery, I would be joining the realm of deceit or substitution for truth.

We seem to have reached the point where Brave New World, 1984 and The Matrix have melded.

My reply:

The consciousness that fragments to operate world within world is a split mind. My dear friend J says ‘resist ye not evil’. People don’t want to hear this because without ‘fighting evil’, it would have to be owned – reintegrated to a greater perspective, and the war on terror would no longer keep the homeland under notional security. We’d have to discover other ways to live – or at least we have a tremendous incentive!

Selling totalitarianism

One among many articles on the EU masquerade being played out to ensure there will not be a Brexit?

While the Conservative party is associated with big business, it is also associated with sovereignty - if biased heavily towards the owners and executives of such business. But the shifting of power to a globalist corporate transnational power elite operating through a technocratic unrepresentative and unaccountable form of collectivism is big business without conserving anything excepting power for an increasingly few.

The EU is not a federation of indvidualities finding areas of common wealth but a subordination of true individual liberty to shadow power's dictate - as is exemplified by such 'trade' deals being pushed through without due process that would legally shift power from national governance to corporate entities and offshore courts.

That such a form of governance could even be countenanced is due to very clever insinuations of fear-thinking along with instruments of obfuscation that only financial marketeers can match. There may be an opportunity for a true accounting to be made if we pull out of the EU - from which a clearer sense of who we are and what we desire in life might regenerate a true culture of inspiration and purpose in place of the dictate of corporately managed alienation from our true being in a false dependency on increasing control over every aspect of our lives.

Yes to constructive relationship with others and to establishing trust and mutual benefit. No to coercion and deceit masquerading as official narratives of a ruling elite.

I see the primary human failing as that of seeing the form without discerning the intent. The form of global or European unity is not the issue for me. It is the underlying intent that is masked beneath such structures that is NOT aligned with or supportive of truly human consciousness or culture. Rather it embodies  a monocultural state by which populations are farmed and managed by a Soul-less technocracy behind which are power-elites who use the law as a weapon and shield against Life Happening. Life is not the danger. Power elitism is the danger. Merely subordinating power in massive state consolidation - whilst revolving doors subvert regulatory protection to create cartels - is not security - but the utter suppression of the symptoms of Life to conformity of a tyrannous will - no matter how it presents itself.

Political Ignorance and apathy

Why John Oliver Can’t Find Americans Who Know Edward Snowden’s Name (It’s Not About Snowden)

(I actually commented this into Media Lens Forum)


This mirrors the configuration of 'consciousness' in which as much as possible is given to subconscious routines and made unconscious.
This is because conscious responsibility is equated with or uncovering of negative outcomes.
The desire to 'split off from' or escape responsibility rises out of guilt, powerlessness, terror, rage and shame.
To put the conditioning into reverse; it is easy to see that where such latent conditionings can be triggered, there is a very strong and predictable desire to seek protection from such fears.
Identity politics is the assertive defence of a sense of identification against anything that would expose or uncover a feared and believed truth in which one loses whatever power one fears to have. Emotional investment follows accepted self-definition and core beliefs.
The stirring of willingness - indeed love - of truth, cannot set terms in advance as to what that is.
But it can recognize and release its own filtering distortions enough to open a greater receptivity to a clearer perspective of resonance and relevance to the active desire.

Perhaps most Americans don't give any care (for anything outside their immediate sphere of control) simply because they believe themselves to be powerless and grab at anything they can use to either distract or insulate themselves from stuck rage, deeper fears and a sense of powerlessness. Perhaps while such investments are identified with and protected, no other choices or perspectives can be discovered or opened. A god of judgement is a jealous god - and that imprint is much deeper than any surface personality traits - no matter how rationalized away of covered over with justifications.

Education is the natural result of conditions in which learning is supported, but the imposition and corruption of a fear and guilt agenda 'learns' to deny the true spirit of curiosity and discovery in favour of the mask of conformity within a tyranny that uses division and conflicted identity to rule from the shadows.

However, the recognition that fear and guilt demand sacrifice of truth, and thus of true joy in living, is the basis from which to challenge the narrative and allow a true willingness for learning that is transformational - for we are changed - and our perception and experience of ourselves, each other and our world is changed, thereby. This is that last thing that a control-mentality will allow. But the desperation of a clinging to the attempt to coerce and manipulate becomes a lesson from which all who are willing, will learn of their own liabilities - if they desist the temptation to project their own guilt and fear away onto others and world in search of validation and righteousness.

Mis-takes call for correction; for a fresh take. Guilt calls for blame and punishment. Here are two teachers with opposing curricula. One cannot serve two masters. This is the choice upon which all else proceeds.

True governance has been subverted, corrupted and usurped. This is a call for good housekeeping to re-establish a true sovereignty of Will, which has been falsely associated with opposition and blame-shamed into subjection by a false will. By a false currency of thinking and a loveless use of the mind that reflects as a denied will and body. Such  our world is picturing writ large.

Obey me or else!

Fear judges and love embraces. I meet many commenters who are angry and speak of 'them' in pejorative terms, where 'they' are the ones seen to be causing pain and limitation in the world. Personalising issues and agendas operates a sort of mythology that may bring some temporary relief from letting off emotional charge, but then obscures and diverts from the issue and also communicates to others involved, in ways that feel offensive and thus call for defence rather than communication.

I feel to put this next article here as an example of opening to something that at first made no sense and had no appeal as it seemed merely angry and dictatorial. But then there is a moment of connection to me that acknowledges difference yet stays in communication. THAT drew me to join with the seeming 'zen koan' of "Obey me or else!" that felt to be a core element in the perception of the criminal behaviour of 'them' and as an example of justified anger that then operates fight or flight.

Here is my rejoinder - which I appreciated writing. The message to which I respond is at the bottom of this page.

- - -

Yes, we clearly 'come from' different presumptions, but there is some commonality.

If another approaches me with 'obey me or else', I will read the situation on a level beneath the form - that is - I am not who they think I am and nor is what they are presenting of themselves the truth of them. The way I frame or perceive the situation is the 'reality' I then choose to live. Being open to what is truly present is different than closing the mind in judgement and personal reaction - whether acted out or not.

That kind of scenario is one of presumed or asserted authority. Jesus gave a good example of responding to false authority with true authority. I also use the word and not the sword. And that of course includes the willingness to rest without answer or response to that which is not a true question or communication.

Dealing with fearful people fearfully only reinforces fear as currency. I am not saying there is no call for force as part of our range of communication. Where possible the harming of self or others calls for limitation and restraint.

When in Rome.... Caesar's laws apply. A certain degree of self-forgetting and resultant insanity is part of our entry ticket to the human experience. While there is a perceived need for the imposition of a coercive will upon a feared sense of chaos and threat of loss, then it will be invoked and given allegiance as to a Protector at one with the self it protects. But it is part of the forgetting and fuels the insanity until there is an awakening to an integrative willingness. Whereas the fight of flight mind 'sees' everything only in terms of its own personal survival (and of any extensions of that identity of 'my and mine'), the integrative willingness recognizes - re-cognizes the situation in a wider or more embracing perspective. One cannot meaningfully talk about the wider perspective to a fight or flight survival mechanism, because it is not listening or capable of listening unless there should be some relaxation or unguarded moment of being in which the guards and defences are neglected or forgot, and Life Happens simply because Life Happens.

I feel an anger in your writing - not in your response to me - but in your posting generally and I wonder if anger is what occurs when Life or others or events do not obey the rules we have set for them, and we feel betrayed, abandoned, rejected, diminished, attacked, unseen and unvalued - so in some sense our anger might be saying "I AM HERE AND I WANT TO BE SEEN AND HEARD!" - but often articulates itself in ways that then further the pattern of communication breakdown. Other people may not give us what we need in terms we set. It may never happen.

My focus in consciousness - in what goes on beneath or behind the actor in drama - is to notice and re-evaluate such terms as I have set and forgotten are there. I notice there are all kinds of what I might call karmic associations whereby we draw to us exactly what is needed to release denied will and so I am curious with regard to who and what I meet in the light of such opportunity. 

As a result of my conditioning, I have shut myself down or denied myself within the idea of guilt and fear. No one else has the trigger - though they may supply the ammunition .

If you push my buttons - my responsibility is my buttons - not your behaviour. I can and will communicate with you or anyone else who comes into relationship with me, but if I merely react there will be no communication, only a re-enactment of a separation script. If I am aware of the buttons and not interested in re-runniing that script because it gives me nothing I want, then I am free in this moment to relate on a new basis - and that calls forth the creative imagination that is our divine inheritance - to align in the joy of knowing and being myself rather than fitting to a coercive sense of who I am supposed to be!

The limits and edges and pains of the moment cannot be entirely put 'OUT THERE' on the world or the behaviours of others. A separation script is running and operates like a filter or a lens, in such a way as to perpetuate itself.

The insistence that happiness or completion MUST be found in the terms you set allows no other possibility. Is that not the decision to  be 'right' rather than happy?

Completion is wholeness of being. I believe we deprive ourselves un-knowing and then rail at adversity and misfortune - without connecting the cause with the symptoms. The world generally seeks to 'eradicate symptoms' rather than use them to identify cause - and remove the cause.

If I give you (or anyone) the power to push my buttons, I can change my mind and instead use the situation to remind me of my power to not be baited into reaction - but to choose along the line of my own core sense of value as it unfolds to me in any given situation. Because Life is Happening. I don't 'do' it so much as find my self in relation to what I give value by focusing on. My model of reality is becoming more fluid, more open, more transparent to a range of communication that a fixed and walled off sense of PRIVATE KEEP OUT! - simply deprives itself of, in order to have its PRIVATE self experience.

Physics reflects no such self - excepting the establishment clings on to the gravitic model regardless the evidences that All is in a sense Electrical Vibratory resonance and reflection - with neither God or self apart from or outside it. In fact no 'outside' only the expansion of the recognition of what Is Here.

In some sense the PRIVATE KEEP OUT! mentality is disintegrating and this is freaking everyone out. The art of safety is to give ONLY as you would in truth receive - for the devices by which to give lovelessly and seem to escape the symptoms or reflections are no longer even seeming to work. That's my take in this moment of writing you. Lots of fear coming up and the buttons are being pressed every which way. It's all out on the table - so to speak. Choose who you want to be out of all that is here. be part of a re-enactment of power in futility or of a New World - because we are living from a new place of recognition within our living. Of course the control mentality is going to strut its stuff. But beneath it is a desire to be truly safe - articulating itself in ways that defeat its own purpose.

I feel this addition is important.

I add that within myself, the prompt to 'obey or else is' not in fact a coercive will upon me but a prompt from within  - from a wholeness of being - to pay attention and maintain focus in a particular way - because I want to find or accept a way through a challenge or difficulty. The 'or else' is the smudge or distortion of a mind that - instead of simply and wholly doing and focusing in what it wants - it fears. It fears that it will fail or sabotage itself in some way or that something will not line up or will rise to obstruct and deny it, and so it invokes penalty as a coercive motivation - and this does add a charge but it also sacrifices freedom. It can charge through or override apposition and feel a sense of power gotten from fear. This is how one 'falls' from grace.

in reply to:

All I can say is that those who threaten "Obey or Else" are fools, since "Obey" is a very specific demand (a very small part of the possibilities of near infinite reality), usually a survival hit of some kind, immediate, or longer term. "Or Else" is pregnant with far more other possibilities that the motivated (whether by opportunity or, by survival threat) can innovate / tap into. As they say: necessity is the mother of invention and, our collective predators are making "solutions" to the problems they pose compellingly necessary. Their criminal methods and collateral damage of their goal-seeking are a self terminating "problem" for themselves, as well as us.
So when the crazy opine: Maybe no one will be creative enough" ..., "unless you force them to."
they have no clue regarding the creativity that will be unleashed in OPPOSITION.
As stated previously, we occupy very DIFFERENT intellectual paradigms. Not a critique of you, just a caution: we may not be comprehending each other.

Something similar was used in Wu Ch'êng-ên's Chinese Classic 'Monkey'.
However, the pain was administered by the one who freed him from the mountain he had been encased in (By Lord Buddha) - and who it was Monkey's part to guide and protect - regardless that this pilgrim in search of Scripture was liable to see everything awry.

I see a part of human desire operating as the intent to force its will upon life. However to be as a 'god' over others is to isolate and invalidate oneself from all that is true. Ergo; only one's own will determines truth. However the acceptance of fear-directives as if they are our true will is simply the refusal to challenge them.

The ideology of humanity as mechanism can only result in a conditioning against our true nature that then 'demands' technocratic intervention.
The racket isn't just to control felons - but to cultivate them like a crop. One can see this in pharmaceutical cartel, the war-machine cartel, the financial supply cartel. It is the mind that is being cultivated and targeted. That it happens Big-Time on the world stage does not mean we cannot see ourselves using the same devices in our relationships and our own identity. If billions are patterned in such a way - no surprise the world reflects the same writ large.

There is a place for forceful restraint to prevent harming self or others. But within a quality and commitment to a correction or realignment to free and responsible communication. Not within a socially justified hate scapegoating - nor within the usurping of the mob mind that has thus opened itself to shadow power.

That bodies can be hurt or attacked is not in question - but any true movement of freedom will meet the fear of pain and loss of life. Do we over identify with the body and become its slave - whilst playing in the mind-games of freedom was or freedom will be?

Flip the switch!

Slave or Rebel? Ten Principles for Escaping the Matrix and Standing Up to Tyranny

By John Whitehead at the Daily Bell

This editorial posits everything in political terms - of a materialistic thinking - not that religious thinking isn't often the same with a different mask - but that there are core beliefs that embody themselves inevitably as the world we 'suffer' because we are unaware of the true import of the choices we make

- - -

The device by which freedom is seemingly lost is deceit believed and employed - as a result of which one suffers a seemingly unjustified loss that is then blamed on the other.
That such devices can in a sense trap attention in false identification is evident. That this is the predicate of what we take to be a unified independent consciousness called 'myself' is less evident.
The attempt to 'solve' what are essentially inner conflictedness masked by asserted self in external terms is the world of conflicting personal wills and agendas - but they ALL share the tacit agreement to keep hidden, and in that sense make unconscious, the true nature of our relation within Consciousness. Otherwise; the game of powers cannot persist or 'survive'. Calling it a game is not to underestimate very serious investment, without which the game would not be experienced real.
Choices are made unconscious or are 'forgot' as part of engaging and unfolding the life-time, so though it is true to say that a personality construct did not choose to be born, it is also true to say that the personality construct is a result of choices that in some sense template the collective and individual themes of any particular relational expression.
The surface or screen 'reality' is overlayered - as a distortion filter - upon an actual movement of being within awareness, whose nature can be accepted and known in embrace and extension - but can never be separated from and objectified - EXCEPT in concept.
The idea of separation is the idea of being other than what you are. Investing in this idea in order to experience it necessarily requires the temporary forgetting of awareness that knows or Self-awareness - the rising of Thought by which Existence knows itself existing. This forgetting operates through an exclusive definition of WHAT we are - as a specific perspective of what we are.
Such a focus of reflection is distorted by the coercive force of an exclusive intent. For there is no limit on communication in what Mind is excepting an idea of limitation is believed in order to then use that as a focus. The tool of a specific focus might be likened to a virtual reality scenario. When one puts on the VR helmet - one is in 'the matrix' of experiencing a differentiation reflected back as an external reality in which to explore - and in a sense to be as gods. Plural because no separate power exists - it is always in relation to other.
But the coercive idea makes of Life, a fragmenting dissociative force that merely goes forth and multiplies itself as a divisive and destructive distortion of Life, and yet which is clearly fascinating and addictive to a trapped identifying investment of attention within it.
So what are the devices by which truth in plain sight is hidden and usurped with illusion but thinking!
The core tyranny under which one believes themself bound is a result of thinking. The power of conscious thought has been deliberately diminished - excepting of course by the awareness of template level consciousness from which all else is in a sense framed and formed. In its place is a sort of thought jamming device by which a kind of thinking pervades and directs the imagination of independent identity according to the template definitions that it accepted or chose as its adaptation to the physical existence.
Yet this device runs within and depends upon the very Life it appears to usurp. Identity in denial must first be the thing it then denies in order to seem independent or a power in its own right. But conceal this by diversion. By the incitement of inflammations and offence that re-enacts the coercive idea as the 'survival' of a seemingly separate self.
If you don't consider it possible that an imagination could usurp your truth just look at how present with what is, you are in any given day or series of minutes. The mind makes all kinds of spin upon and around whatever actually is here to experience. It also seeks and finds reinforcement with others in social transaction both positively and negatively, to validate and maintain the personal capacity to be in control of one's own life.
But the above is a sketch of the segregative movement within a Consciousness that does not stop being Itself, regardless that a spun off focus is operating within it within a belief of exclusion and rejection. Consciousness Itself hasn't 'gone anywhere', it has simply been redefined in terms that seem to be different than it is, and while it did so, it was known and supported in its choices for what is the gift of free will but unconditional love? The true knowing of who you are can not be got rid of, and so is in a sense held in trust for you to come back into as the truth you know and love without any shadow of doubt and which seems lost, forfeit or beyond conception within the evidences of a world of fear and struggle and loss.
The integrative movement is in some sense like a rubber band that automatically comes back to its natural state of rest when the distorting force is no longer maintained. That is to say the willingness and desire to notice and desist from coercive thinking or reaction becomes an opportunity for the restoration of a joyful or truly connected presence - along with all that is called for in the practicality of the situation.
'Creatives' know that this is so - but often abuse it as a more subtle way to feed the ego from what is actually a living relationship - as if the Muse of true inspiration - was there to serve a self specialness. Well up to a point it may - but only to the purpose of reflecting the nature of your choice to you. For there is nothing blameworthy in learning by one's choices to make better choices.

But few know the choices they are making - though they believe the are awake and free to choose as they will - because the framing of such choosing is itself a deeper choice of which we have by design desired to be unaware of. What is the 'mind' that frames our choices in only fear's setting but fear itself?
The nature of un-owned or hidden fear is of a shadow power that sabotages or inhibits and disrupts what would otherwise naturally communicate and manifest and fulfil. What is such 'shadow power' but the beliefs and fearful or shameful definitions that we have accepted, believed true of us, and sought to deny, escape or overcome?
Fear of fear operates a negative loop - an unarticulatable tyranny from whose perspective there is no escape - but there is no truth there to escape from -  if brought out into the open and looked at honestly. This in itself is a simplicity - but arriving at this may involve any kind of process of delay and procrastination as a result of identifying the fearful as protector.
But when anyone finally releases baggage that deprived them of their true lightness of being - they say "why didn't I do this years ago". Or they might attempt to communicate with others who are weighting for something they believe they lack and find they cannot  - without a mutual willingness.

Raising one's level or vibrational quality of consciousness is not in order to change others or the world, but it will reflect as a greater perspective in which to recognise everything with less fear and so uncover and transmute or undo the deeper fears that surface fears operate to conceal.

Its all about love and fear, Its all a matter of perspective within Consciousness of which you are an active and integral expression because you exist and make choices by which to experience your existence as you prefer - which can be guided by your joy or by a fearful sense of self-protective control that unlike joy must convince you to abide in it. It must use a carrot and stick to keep you from joy or you would abandon the idea of coercive control.

But of course Life leaks into even the most tightly controlled system, but is airbrushed, diminished and subverted so as not to break the continuity of the past into the future in which the presence of all that you are is sacrificed to feed and maintain a tightly controlled system.

Flip the switch.

FDA Pushing To Regulate Homeopathy Out of Existence?

An article on Green Med Info

My comment:

Asserted ' scientific truths' used as weapons by a sickness racket pretending to serve health.

The politics of sickness as a vector of control extends globally through every aspect of our biology of body-mind and environment. It does this through corrupting cells and capturing regulatory systems and natural defensive capabilities to operate AGAINST its host.

When an idea runs rogue in the body politic, it seeks out and kills all that might threaten its survival. Thus the fraud is often the loudest voice shouting quackery! Or the gullible are set up and triggered into enacting an agenda by which they believe themself superior, special, advanced in their career or remuneration or protected from otherwise adverse events or conditions.

Those who have no eyes to see, will not see. War or willingness is a choice. But war dictates and frames choices only to perpetuate its agenda. Truth is sacrificed to the 'god' of war.

Militant 'believers' in science are not practitioners of a willingness and curiosity to uncover truth. The model has become a power base by which to predate upon and exploit, that operates a much more pervasive tyranny of "church and state" than the Vatican ever could. But the real tyranny is within our own thinking. What is projected and reflected as a sickness of humanity upon ourselves and our world is the result of a kind of false parasitic thinking, in which fear subverts and replaces integrity with 'war thinking' - with an identity founded upon and embodying conflict.

International 'trade' agreements such as TTIP are being set up globally to subordinate sovereignty not only of national governments relative to corporate agenda, but of our biology to the likes of Monsanto. There is no way to see this being enacted in our midst while sucking on the worldview of a manufactured and managed identity. Apparently protected from its deeper fears but actually  being manipulated through them.

Therefore the correcting response is to uncover and face our fears so as to no longer be suckered into coercive and manipulative deceits posing as saviours.

"Yes it works in practice - but does it work in theory?" !

Empiric medicine was engineered out of the medical profession by Rockefeller Carnegie money and malice working through the funding and setting up of teaching facilities.

Oh look up something like prozac fraud if you really think the wolves are not wearing scientist's clothing. "Unreason' is within the distorted thinking of the corrupted establishment - not out there in conspiracy nuts and quackery.

" It cures. So what! Is it patentable? Now you are talking.... Multiple side effects? - a revenue stream. Peer reviews and FDA approval?  - We have established a network of trusted individuals in all the right places. Media? - Yes we can set the narrative. Opposition? - People don't really know what they want. We can help them recognize their true interests via any number of proven strategies. We own the opposition. Lies? - There are no lies in war and war is the name of the game in which losing is the only sin. Truth? Its what you make it, son - now listen to me...."

Original Nature and original sin

The investment oriented news and comment site 'The Daily Bell' is basically a libertarian orientation to economic, political and social ideas, institutions and events.

This Daily Bell interview opened my comment below.

- - -

The IDEA of original sin has been almost universally interpreted and applied within the idea itself. Or it would not be original - but derivative.
The idea; 'sin' has become devalued as a useful term by being used as a WEAPON and shield for invalidating self and other and world by some idea of a rationality or power that is presumed 'without sin' - as the 'Judge' of self, other and world.
That IS the original error.
The 'error' by which one obscures and depreciates one's awareness of self, other and world, but the error cannot be observed with the mechanism of mind that the error gives rise to.
The mind that we presume to operate FROM is part and parcel of the world-construct as we define and experience it. But IT presumes itself apart from - so as to divide and define in terms of its own presumed 'power'.
Everything that proceeds from the father of the lie can only be the lie. In this sense the root is not in the effects but at the cause.
Original Nature is that which is believed to be lost, obscured, distorted, corrupted and usurped by (original) sin.
Original Nature is expressed as innate and inherent worth - that is not affected or edited or changed by anything one thinks or does - ever. And sin became the idea of uncorrectable error backed by an unyielding or fixed and merciless judgement.
But to sin is to miss the mark - not least because of aiming at a mistaken reflection of the target.
The paradox of nature and nurture reveals both AND more are actively one experience of cause and effect operating in TIME.
The 'more' is the embracing and pervading Consciousness of which a polarized mind in struggle and reaction is oblivious of and distracted from.
Greater perspective is not gained within the framework of the conflicted mentality - nor by a coercive attempt to enforce all but what the dominant power asserts 'rational or true' to be invalid, unworthy and heretical. So therefore to be denied.
The way the deception operates is from a level above or upstream to the apparent events and outcomes. The redistribution of blame does not ever address the cause - but perpetuates and propagates it in the guise of answer.
To address the cause, one must awaken as the responsibility at the level of cause. In simple terms one cannot change that which one has refused to own.
Original sin is not way way back in time - because the error persists and propagates moment by moment by moment... AS an experience of time in which cause and effect are NOT one but delayed, and in which delay it can seem meaningful that a loveless and coercive means could yet give rise to a love-worthy goal or effect.
Such is the person-prismed prison of the mind 'apart from' that identifies and operates 'over and against'.
"See what YOU made me" it screams, asserting its injustice as justification for hate and attack.
Power seeks only freedom to operate in - and then to progressively free itself of any adversity or obstruction that would hold it in check - which it 'sees' everywhere and in everything as an ever shifting delusional nightmare from which it refuses to awaken.
But is it power? or is it the grasp for power, the wish for power, the fear of losing power, the fear of powerlessness?
The power to heal is in us - as is the power to destroy awareness of the power to heal. But the effects cannot unmake their Cause.
Rationality is simply a subtle disguise for un-owned attempts to escape conflict of fear by denial, through personification of 'objectivity' that is then used as a puppet by unconscious and destructive drives to vindicate or validate that which has no basis of existence at all.
Rationality adopts the guise of Reason - which is Sanity of un-conflicted congruency.

Note that not only is the justification for coercion in the name of freedom blind to its own deception - it is actively defended against such exposure.
It is inevitable that the one who would reveal the falsity of an anti-terror terrorism be associated with the terrorist.
Is it not clear by now that the apparently opposing polarities share a single agenda!

Here is another reason to 'love thine enemy' - for it is the one who seems enemy to you, who brings to you the recognition of that in yourself which you judge against, and feel fully justified in hating and attacking.
"to arrive where we started. And know the place for the first time" is to recognize the entrance-ment to a mind/world of false division given to fear and hate - and see it meaningless.
When the false is undone, no truth need be asserted - but is simply evident as the obvious.
Freedom is known as truly aligned wholeness of being. Heart and mind as one.
Loss of freedom is believed and experienced in asserting misalignment as if to get to or become free.
The experience of a polarised and conflicted world will continue to intensify itself until the difference in each CHOICE is recognized. But true choice is only available at the level of Cause. All behaviours are conditioned by the Ideas that they embody. There is no freedom at the level of behaviour itself.
Trying to make it so is to deny one's cause.
Denying one's cause is the 'original sin'. Its progeny all persist the same patricide. This is evident as the patterning of the history of the 'independent power'.
Surface mentality is a mask by definition. It can serve as a lens of experience but can hardly be used to define the depth - much less control them. Yet such is the conditioned arrogance of human ignorance that believes it knows - yet has no peace of Knowledge.
Tyranny can and does express itself in and as any kind of form. If the imposed collectivism operates in denying expression of thought, the imposed market based 'individualism' operates in framing all permissible thought in an illusion of freedom in which token resistance, token freedom, token enemies, are allowed and supported and encouraged.
The sucker is the one who WANTS to believe they can get something for nothing, or indeed make something worthy out of an ongoing unconscious delusion by which he/she is cultivated.
The other sucker believes they can exploit suckers and retain their own integrity. But they prey to self-specialness and arrogantly assume 'power', elite status and except themselves from law until they can remake it in their own image.
It takes two to tango...
"Leave them alone and they'll come home, dragging their tales behind them"

There's no success like failure - and failure's no success at all

Watch the moment when Great British Bake Off presenter Mel Giedroyc inspired a biscuit blunder in the crucial final moments of Tuesday's show.

This clip offers a great metaphor for ungrounded or wishful government interventions.

Supporting what doesn't work and cannot work and then being unable to withdraw without seeming to be the cause of collapse!

Of course it isn't only governments who enact this pattern. Our financial 'rulers' set up similar scams but usually make it seem like someone else is responsible - and buy up cheap assets.

But closer to home, our own mentality indulges vanities or wishful thinking that leads to lifestyles or relationships that cant work and will never work - and likewise seek to keep the appearances together until time runs out.

The politics (actions that express and define our society) of today seems so much focussed on 'keeping appearances together', such as to be a war on our own mind - where what is actually going on cannot be addressed or even acknowledged, and any attempt at communication is subverted into polarized denial device such that persons and 'blame' get to dominate as the maintenance of the delusion of the status quo and the entertainment-distractions of self-righteous opinion.

It is perhaps a matter of how much we have invested in the appearances of something that lacks integrity or true worth.
There is actually a great freedom in not having to keep it all up any more. "I cant do it" is a simple and liberating honesty that - accepted - lets the chips or indeed the biscuits - fall where they may while resuming a Real Life. Everyone has one and is one - but its back in a closet because it doesn't look like an Emperor's outfit.

Maybe one has to do the utmost while a ship is going down until baling out or making rafts is no longer possible. But essentially what we invest in - where we give value - will become foundational to all that comes after.

Hard to credit that this 'bake-off' isn't a set up. The implanted pathetic one for whom the audience cringes at their somewhat sadistically written scripted presentation. But life also imitates art and a nation of telly-tubbies rises to mimic the culture that is quite deliberately fed them - or does a desire for unconsciousness demand to be fed one way or another?

There's no market for anything sane - what does that say about the mind that manipulates what once was a vehicle or focus of exchange of Goods and Services. (Capitalized to draw attention to that life is good and service to life serves all).

One might claim life is not good and that if you don't serve only yourself - no one else will. Such is the power of our investment in ideas. We really don't have to set up a life or world that fails. We simply need to re-visit the definitions and ideas we are already investing in that are not honestly working for our life, our world - without blame - so as to let go of what does not work and can not work - and bring our willingness to what is already working - and cooperate with that!

Humiliation goes with the territory here. If we cant release a self-specialness then we cant embrace the native integrity of our being. A mindset of blame, shame and guilt absolutely forbids any real engagement with problem or solution , and which cannot be effected by 'divide and rule' mentality. But if that is almost all one has ever known, how could I get this message across? I say 'almost' - because no one is totally without some stirring or moment of being seen, accepted, honoured or embraced in a quality that demanded nothing of them and let them be themselves.

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 Prism on the dark side of the Net?

News of the US surveillance has set off a hubbub, and not surprisingly, because the issues of privacy and control, are so linked with that of honesty and trust.
I read the article and some comments, and then also commented not so much to the specific issue as to what it represents in the issues of consciousness and culture that give rise to the symptoms.

- - -

People are enjoying this it seems.  A wonderful opportunity to vent opinions and exercise imaginations. Never mind the actual issues lets vilify someone or spout doom - and above all, feel righteous!

Perhaps this attitude of making entertainment for personal gratification out of real social and political issues is why the 'mob' aspect seems to inspire those who feel to be in some expectation or responsibility for governance to resort to the advertising methods of mind control. However, the admen and the media and the Gov, are all so busy trying to manage perceptions that no one is attending to what is really going on.

Ideas that are accepted into our minds as to what we are and what life is for, will automatically go forth and multiply as policy and action and consequence. Trying to deal with things at the symptom level tends to obscure and dislocate problems into more convoluted proliferation that are not recognized as aspects of the original issue.

Honesty is linked with privacy in two ways. Honesty gives privacy to that which is peaceful and harmonious and doesn't interfere in what is not one's own business. It blesses such with gratitude.

Dishonesty demands privacy in which to operate. Hiding the lie is the 'mask' or false presentation in which one's true presence is usurped. This is now so ubiquitous that it is considered normal, natural and genetically dictated.

The mask goes hand in hand with 'getting something' at another's expense. This is now considered the normal and natural relationship between us - as if life was simply an opportunity for private personal gratifications that use and use up the resources of our spirit and our cultures and our world.

Writ large, the ego mentality - as I tend to call it - is played out by nations or rather governments - who are puppets to the financial and corporate forces of our times - for we are dependent on the kind of economy that... keeps us dependent and processes existences as if they were to be programmed - a description which to a large degree we conform to.

True presence is not programmed reaction, does not assert or demand control, but opens and extends communication - and invites the growing of trust and creative relationship in true educative collaboration.

Now the expression of creative relationship will not fit into the controller's range of vision and so along with the extremists, will be marked those who do not support the modality of control in passive conformity (which includes the styles and fashions of the presentation of non conformity).

Waking up is not becoming Chicken Licken, but is bring curiosity and enquiry to the very foundations of our consciousness so as to regain a grounded perspective of true presence from which we live and communicate and relate. There are such riches that we deny ourself in the mentality of guilt, fear and coercive manipulation!

Another throw of the monetary dice

The mentality of the prodigal son was always one of 'what can I get out of this' - even while his Father is alive, though ignored.
Religion at its root is not a magical wishful attempt to make nothing into a seeming something and then trade it so as to kill off or hollow out Something as it is turned itself to a nothing - all for the fleeting moment of power and possession.

Rewakenening to true values is waking up from a deceptive voice in our heads that we call 'my thinking' on behalf of 'my private interests' - (albeit presented so as to appear to be wise, kind, protective, benevolent and neccessary).

When the system of guidance fails - or is realized to be a scam - then the obvious step is to listen for an alternate to madness in the simple trust that madness is not inherent to being alive or being human.

What wakens the heart is simply listening in the heart. While the head can peddle deceptions amidst a maze of distractions and a mist of (heart) denial - little wisdom can get through.

The manipulator does not/can not know what is meant by the heart because it only knows its own thoughts and 'understands' only in its own image.

What are the activties and projects that embody and support life's true and truly shared value? These are our true economy.

Midas turned all to gold and starved for life. It is nothing new to be so deceived. When there is no way for the ego (self illusion) to remain hidden, it seeks ever more depserate means to hide its (lack of) foundation, including war and death.

But yielding into Life while alive is to 'remember the Father' that is the ever present Source, Nature and Condition of be-ing - in its Own terms and not in the 'value added' sense of a privately manipulated outcome.

Investment is what you give yourself to - in energy of attention and comittment. There is NO scarcity of human resourcefulness but for the folly of false investments in which we believe we are trapped.

Truth seems fearful to the liar or to that which has investment in the lie. But Truth is the Condition of truly appreciating anything! - and is also the touchstone of a rested sanity of being regardless of the headless chicken syndrome amidst what after all has always been a transient matter.

To meet in a shared sense of value is not a manipulated outcome - but is bedrock to any real cultural exchange or embodiment.

Enjoy this day and every day as today - that is - don't poison it with thinking of a nature that sucks out the joy and wonder of being. Or at least wake up to such habit and determine to see it for what it is so as to become free of tyranny.

Start always now, because now is the closest to where Life is being you. Take no thought for what you are to do - but listen instead to the true guide - that can always be felt or heard when the false is passed by unused.

Change!

After a dictator falls ...

The symptoms of a sickness may exacerbate the condition and seem to be a cause, but the real cause of a fearful tyranny must lie in our hearts. The mentality that overrides an honesty and integrity of being is ever deceptive, but uncovering such a deception in ourselves is the opposite of our programming.

The heart's desire for a true and better way, must maintained as an ongoing spiritual renewal, for if the heart is allowed to be covered over, a spirit of willingness and real communication is lost to the warring of perceived self interest.

It is common sense to structure society so as to limit the excesses and corruptions of private self interest, but such does not inspire and unify.

The true heart may discern, despite complexities or deceptive presentations, and it is this faculty that is needed in us all. Such a cultural shift must arise from a refusal to use the old mind of manipulation.

It is easy to give up responsibility to others, to leaders or to external conditions and hope on them and then hate them, but there is a basis from which we can live that shares a present willingness to listen rather than think - and act our from a felt wisdom rather than a triggered reaction.

Tyranny runs deeper than we may realize, but depends on darkness to operate. Therefore cherish and protect our capacity to bring fears and difficulties into a shared awareness, by living from a guided and connected sense of the presence and wonder of being alive.

Gadaffi the human, the symbol, the teaching

Did Gaddafi not believe he actually was what he thought he was - born of a deeply felt demand to escape the terror of a mind at war with itself?
In this does he not share the human condition of identifying with thought, protecting it and projecting to exclude.

While it seemed he had power, he believed he was powerful and violated his own people to maintain and protect power for himself. And in the same mind, did he also deal with other leaders who see love only as a disguise to get what cannot be got with force more directly?
When it all fell apart, he was powerless against the very forces he had once thought himself master of - and which played out the same mind of vengeance upon his body.

When we see such a figure on the world stage, do we see the role he played in a war of conflicting powers? A madman who succeeded in losing his mind to a blindly fearful manipulation of life that embodied the very conflict that he thought to escape.

As long as fear is hidden so as to protect a lie, we also will suffer a tyranny by which we seem both served and suffer. We might think we can keep it ineffectually private and under control - but it permeates the whole house up from the basement in which it is locked - and leaks out to re-enact its ritual wars and diseases.

The Holy Spirit will not allow anyone to Really lose their true mind and works with every opportunity of willingness to restore faith and integration.
But a mind intent on vengeance will not cooperate in its own healing.

Hate enacted out upon the hated, is not a cause for satisfaction, celebration, nor justice - but is the ritual sacrifice of God's Son - the Life we recognize as one with our own - upon whose death a lie is raised as if alive. That is the tyranny which slips in and out of men's minds unnoticed while setting up new hosts as it abandons an old one.

Abiding in truth is to be without judgement or knowledge - but at the unfolding of the recognition of truth at the threshold of our awakening.
Let us learn to submit all seeming power to the love and wisdom of our true Holy Spirit. Again and again ... and yet again. So as to open our lives and our world to the power of love. Love unifies where fear and hatred divide. May love enter and work through the hearts of all who actively seek to share Life. May it cause us to pause of our rituals of hate and fear and instead - cast out the mind that insinuates itself as if our own, as a faithless deception of our own thinking.

And may all who call on love find mercy. For such Call can only be made by the stirring of love within.
Our hearts are the prayer of our communication - and are but temporarily blocked, while asking for what cannot be and yet insisting it be found.

May the stirring, wake us from distraction to the true desire that moves us and is our life.

In Peace
