Extraterrestrial life

Articles on E.T Life that make the news tend to be those that fit comfortably with the scientific paradigm and anything more specific that doesn't arrive as microbes, fossils or distant radio waves is too risk to be seen to be associated with and still have a 'reputation'. So I looked at a tag for extraterrestrials when Google had an article on scientists begging for a million pounds to fund ET searching, to see what else flagged up. Not a lot. Not such as THIS fairly recent event featuring many credible participants - including a Canadian defence minister

But I looked at this page - (Are we alone? Athens State speaker to discuss evidence of extraterrestrial life) - that had a poll:

Do you believe in life from other worlds?

Yes.No.I don't know.

The vote suggests that life comes from worlds. I cant vote for that! All life is an expression of Infinite Intelligence (for lack of better words).

Human consciousness - AS ASSERTED - is based on - AS IF - we are separate from Life - as a self existing orphaned or random entity. We are not alone, but All One. When we step outside the fences we use to differentiate our mind from our experience, we will re integrate to the MORE of what we truly are. The limitations of our thinking give us the experience of the 'Universe out there', which our current science looks to, in order to solve the riddle of its own existence. Truth is NOT 'out there', but our perception and experience is a valid reflector of the active 'background' processes that are most intimate to our sense of identity and our identifications and definitions of our world, and each other. 

The infinite expression of Creation is a whole or unified extension of Mind or 'God'. There is no separation except in thought - that is, there is no 'self' alone and apart and mysteriously possessing powers of autonomous control - though you might say it has a virtual reality in the focus of your attention.
Aliens are others are un-recognized brothers. For Life being the Source of all - we cannot NOT be family. But this is no less true within our own local world - in which we have tended to act out not from the felt quality of communion - but from the assertions and validations of specialness that focus almost exclusively on difference amidst a mentality that operates by divide and rule. We call THAT intelligence - but it is a distortion of coercion and attempt to control. 

Just as family dynamics express needs that we each are invited to work out with each other, so with Earth Consciousness and some other Intelligent species. The key is integration - the lock that seems to deny is the urge of control. What we attract is simply reflecting where we are coming from. However, modern man sleeps on the surface of his mind and thinks his self-justifications are real - but beneath the trance are suggestions that are our own limiting conditioning - along with those who take advantage of our suggestibility. Search for Bashar if you are willing to listen to the communication of an 'Alien' who is in many ways Our Future. We are always free to disbelieve - or else the Universe would be coercive upon us - and this can not be so - because of That which truly Lives us - even if we hardly recognize Life in our busy distracted and self absorbed reactivity!

The politics of perception

Snowden deserves an immediate presidential pardon
History will probably be kinder to the American than to his pursuers, writes Stephen Walt

Commented:

The politics of perception has become a politics of polarisation in which the parts of the corporate body attack each other and itself in fear of losing power as power is defined and played out.

Truth is not a matter of propaganda and presentation - but of conviction, the expression of which, in act and deed is an extension of trust.

Without integrity, there is no basis for trust. Fear and guilt become contagion and all is given to madness.
The decision to come out from the closet - or the bunker - and stand in witness to truth as best as it can be discerned and honoured - is to be restored to our true living - regardless of the way the cookie crumbles - because the perspective of integrity is not a self inflated justification for the lack of it!

A tyranny of fear that uses guilt to manipulate has all the power that fear and confusion gives it. Therefore to withhold allegiance to its dictate, is not to react or protest so much as to reclaim the power of one's own creative freedom to discern and honour Life rather than seek a private self protective advantage over Life - and over others.

When fear and guilt are given power to create - we can reliably expect monsters. Reason is more than rational manipulations or justifications. It is Sanity Itself. Our models or images of Man and the Universe are setting the context for the social, political and economic templates of our times. Surely it is time to wake up from a self defeating war upon our very Life - upon ourself and each other, by which we are deceived.

True Power does not hide behind a mask

Snowden’s revelations highlight the moral decline of America

(Commented on an FT page)

The immature or disconnected mind, wishes to change external reality to make itself feel better or less dissonant, without any process of transformational change or growth of perspective. As it attempts this it not only meets opposition and adversity which reinforce the 'problem' in the terms it set; and validates the use of power or force as a necessary protection from the reflection/reactions of its own unowned acts.

A 'divide and rule' polarity sets up mutually reinforcing shadow fears, the 'other' becomes the means of justifying the breakdown of trust, of communication, of the extension of a sense of worth. This is then expressed as some kind of self-specialness, which in a sense is a 'war on truth', insofar as it blocks and distorts... the extension of a sense of worth in trust that communicates an integrity of being that includes all.

The understanding of our mind - in actually transformational terms - is not at all the mining of the data of spiritual or psychological insight in order to get a better handle on manipulating our world.

Yet such programs run blindly on in every walk of life including the US Government. It is the zeitgeist that needs to change/is changing and this is  - if you will - a wave of recognition within us that many will accept, rather than seek to deny. What does not work and can not work is more than futility - it is depriving us of what can work and does work - while we engage, employ or give our lives to it.

Speaking truth to power is not so much a tactic as an extension of the presence of a shared worth. An act of witness. True power does not hide behind a mask - yet we give power to the mask of perceptions and presentations and play out as if this were all true.

The nature of Mind has some immutable laws; as you give, so shall you receive. There is NO coercion in this law. A coercive intent will reflect and rebound! The wish to keep it will hide in a masquerade in which a relative innocence is asserted as justification to defend - indeed to attack first! - the ones who are seeking to steal, deprive or threaten.

In all cultures are seeds of truth and tares of distortion. That which seems to threaten may in fact be that which serves to grow our perspective - and which cannot be avoided. The refusal to grow clutches a past that is not here.

To control chaos is to override choice?

Egyptian army had no choice over move to topple Morsi, says Tony Blair

Alternative to military intervention was a country in chaos, says former prime minister

The exercise of power is necessary in this world. Every parent knows that - and indeed every child!. And yet every parent realizes that they do not have it but are serving a role on behalf of the one who is growing and learning to be in the world. Integrity is the congruency and honesty in which power does not corrupt, because it is not then an assertion of personal force upon another - even if it appears to be from the perspective of the one who is growing.

The corruption of power is a control-mentality that substitutes a personal sense of power for a lack of integrity. For such mentality of control believes it is necessary and called upon - indeed it is a saviour from a chaos that it finds intolerable. And this argument can be induced in any mind that has lost its capacity to truly communicate amidst a polarized struggle that it perceives outside itself.

I write this not just to identify this mentality with Mr Blair, or the Egyptian military, or the vested interests that have great influence over the Egyptian military - such as the US - nor indeed the few who have great influence over the apparent governance of the US.

It is in everyone - though it manifests on stage as the powers of the day or indeed the age. Behind the scenes we are all participant until we opt out of its dictate within our own mind - where it runs as if our own self protective thinking.

Because it costs us our true living and substitutes false powers and freedoms in exchange for the fundamental and innate dignity of our essential humanity.

There is an alternative to conflict - and it involves starving the conflict of its fuel. To stand in a sense of value and integrity as an expression and a call for a just life must recognize that one can only war with brothers and sisters who are as ourselves but with whom we have become divided.

The control mentality needs and wants you to have enemies, to fear them and to hate them and to find righteousness in so doing - and this is because it has not righteousness in itself without them and can be clearly seen as a self-specialness of no loving intent.

The willingness to give allegiance to that which generates fear in the guise of protection weakens when it can no longer keep fear hidden. 'Chaos' is here REGARDLESS of any attempt to control others - even be it World Government with biotech capabilities scarcely imaginable. It simply changes forms.

To embrace chaos is to release self-certainties and private self interests enough to allow an honest perspective to arise in place of of programmed reaction. This is always one step at a time. We live the moment we are in as an expression of Life - not as a template of thinking.

Everything has its strength and its liability. Discernment can feel for the original impulse that underlies the apparent form of a conflicted state and therefore work to reveal lines of communication in which trust can be rebuilt.

When our shadows are seen on others and hated, we become the shadows of others. This need not be.

Tennis Teachings

I watched the women's final yesterday of the Wimbledon Grand Slam.

France's Marion Bartoli won the Wimbledon title with a 6-1 6-4 victory over Sabine Lisicki of Germany.

What struck me was the contrast of the two players.

Sabine was overwhelmed in this match and yet has within her a fluency of game that is sheer delight to see when she is in her element. And though Marion has credit for not letting her be in her element, it was not really Marion's denial but  Sabine's self-doubt that manifested as her most crushing opponent.

Marion had wanted this championship since she was 6 years old. At 28 she is close to retiring age. Her serve would make her a laughing stock - if it were not such a winner - because it looks so ungraceful and in theory should not work well - and her demeanour can at times seem more of the 'ugly duckling' than the 'fairy princess' - and yet the shining of her spirit reveals a true beauty of character.

Marion demonstrated a singleminded determination to stay on purpose and I felt that she was not aiming to see how far she would get but set her sight and her belief in the championship itself. She DID have to have the tennis skills to win - but she also had to maintain her focus and play her best tennis consistently - which she did - and won the championship without losing a single set throughout.

Her aggression was not directed upon herself in becoming cross nor at her opponents when she was under pressure - but was a inner coaching directive to stay on the beam of her desire. So what I saw was of the subordination of her personal reactions or thoughts, to a true desire that she felt within her being. This is what I recognize as 'getting out of the way', so as to be an instrument of expression; to let her Life flow freely and purely in Expression - without taking credit or usurping the movement with personal wishes. So I felt her as a demonstration of a wish being uncovered to a true willingness.

Sabine is much more the princess, not just in her grace and beauty of demeanour and movement, but her authority in a fluency that reads the game, the ball the court - as her own body. And there is an innocence of delight that shines in her when she lets herself into her true game.

But she is not yet integrated as singleness of purpose, such that her wishful personal aspect starts to insinuate itself into her game and distracts her with hope and fear, to squelches her natural fluency in self-doubt. When she is in her element, she goes for winners and gets them far more than missing and holds the crucial points. But when she persists in playing out-from a disconnected sense, she compounds it to present a self-defeating failure to engage.

On her rise to the final she came up twice from 3 games and one set down, to win her match (one of these against Serena Williams), and this also shows her capacity to regain her game from the very jaws of defeat. Indeed it seems that she needs to come to such a pass in order to finally 'wake up' to who and what she is.

So in this final, Sabine largely demonstrated a wishful disconnection that wanted the game to line up with her dream and was crushed when it wasn't happening how she dreamed it. It isn't that she cant win such a championship - but that the dream itself is still an expression of herself in image rather than the movement of her Life unlocked into clear focussed action.

At the level of the world there seems to be winners and losers - but everyone is a winner, for the uncovering of what we most need to know at this moment is a win win situation. Marion is in a fulfilment of purpose that serves the rest of her life and Sabine has opened a clear lesson in humility in which a self-specialness has become exposed as a complete liability. I don't know if she sees this yet - because it takes time to see when so much self judgement is in play. But is its there for her to see when she is ready to walk out from the wreckage of disappointment, rejoin her Life and say ok - what do I need to learn from this?

I notice when watching, that I do not feel any engagement with a game or player unless I feel they really want it - and when both bring that desire actively present, the game shines. It is possible to want what we do not want - and act as if we DO want it - but it is not possible to be whole in such desire, and therefore are conflicted in ourselves.

To follow desire that integrates is to enjoy creative freedom.

The path of a Self-acceptance that passes through great obstacles is one path, but the acceptance of Self is only blocked within the dream of guilt that rises from the wish to prevail over Self!

For what is a wish but a pause from willing, in which to assert an imagination as if it were true?

Yet what is a wish revealed, but a hidden desire to awaken - activated?

Disclosure of extra terrestial life - on Earth now

I was sent a link to a UFO disclosure conference

that included many giving testimony who are credible members of governments and military or space personnel such as a Canadian defence minister. I looked to see if it was news in any news reports. Not yet - though a little here and there such as under 'weird news' on Huffpo.

The implications in consciousness of what is emerging are more profound than the reactive dreams of getting saved by new tech or enslaved by intelligence operating upon us. For these themes are OUR consciousness.

I wrote the following into this Huffpo page of related issues. It feels to speak out from a unified brotherhood as conscious being rather than focus on differential of form, time and space. For the latter will reflect where our focus is being given.

- - -


What we bring into play in our relationships with each other is often the loss of real relationships for the gratifying of a sense of personal needs. We judge, which is always also to reject or deny wholeness, and all that is rejected in favour of partiality. We project this 'unconscious or denied self or mind onto our world whilst in the control mode that seeks to prevail over these reflections of our unconscious.
We thus project both god and demon upon the Life that Lives beyond the mindset of our pettiness of thinking we are separate self-created entities to whose intelligence the Universe will yield its secrets!

Intervention and technology cannot but shift consciousness because it is the reflection of such a shift and the response to the call or need for such a shift.

There is the movement of control over, and the movement of trust extending. One is reaction in love of self over others and associates with elitism, and the other is service in which the Golden Rule includes our self and other as one.
But no one is free to act without regard for others without consequence, for what we do witnesses what we believe ourself to be and our belief sets the measure for our own capacities and interpretations of receiving or experiencing.

Consciousness, (as the human conditioning has it), is as if a mind apart, embodied in a material Universe. But even without 'space brothers' our science has exposed this as mythic.
The basis of science has been a separate-self-sense, as if removed from relations, but this is a tool and not a fact - and its concept models no less so.
Intelligence is not as we think, nor what we possess or be, but moves us and moves through us and all things. This is simply obvious in any moment of observation, yet the senses serve the mind that interprets on behalf of a separated self-sense, and we say, "I think' or "I am", without actually having any direct knowledge of what I is, or what any thing is. But whatever is IS, the awareness/event that is living all things, prior to, and beneath the mental 'overlay' of meanings that is used to define the separate self sense as an instrument of limited experience amidst Unified Consciousness.
This is the Direction of the unfolding self awareness for those who do not demand the world be as their thinking would seek to define it. What finds self only in conflict, struggle and scarcity, needs find another home.
None makes us receive. Coercive will rises to be released, as it seems to grasp at the world in power.
Much is forgotten in entering the human conditioning. But never entirely so.
Here is to Re Member-ing!

NHS falls prey to the politics of perception, invests in maintaining deception.

NHS Hospitals Spent £2m On Gagging Orders For 50 Potential Whistleblowers

The emotion-backed opinion and demand that has been sold to the public as freedom to choose, market force efficiency and accountability for 'delivery', made into policy and legislation and enforced with self righteous blame and shame methods ... is coming home to roost.

Instead of a real relationship in which needs are discerned, and met proportionately with due priority, we have blind systems that divide everything into disconnected parts and then attempt to join them together in such a way as to tick the right boxes. We have people working so as to appear to be working or so as to account for their work in ways that undermine and disrupt their work.
That it is not bedlam is only because underneath all this nonsense, people actually care. They also care NOT to be vilified, penalised, deprived of funds or employment, and so mostly, common sense and uncommon discernment, are withheld from open communication.

Surely, the attempt to make humankind - and treat humankind in the image of the automaton, is simply a reflection of a certain kind of thinking - that itself is a loveless mechanical mode of manipulating externals with no regard whatsoever for the truth.

Now this mentality may seek to define truth and indeed prove that if there is such, it is current best theory or un-understandable scientific esoterica, but I am talking of the truth that can be felt, can be shared, can be honoured and trusted - and without which no human society or sanity is possible - indeed insanity depends on such truth to exist as a distortion - for it is a distortion of SOMETHING SANE.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity. (From Yeats: the Second Coming)

What is the 'Second Coming' but the dawning in our mind of what is already in it but had been denied for self-seeking vanities? A Prodigal remembering.
And what is the emergence of the 'beast' but the exposure of the basis of a lovelessness which substitutes for a real relationship?

'It' will seek to apply ever more controls and rules and manipulations to 'engineer' a solution, but living relationships are not like mechanical systems that can be redesigned from an outside view, but must be rebuilt in trust and honest communication from within.

'Insanity who really cares, propaganda - all is phoney' sang Dylan. Opinion is a mask, we need to establish the conditions in which real communication can occur. We must grow trust from an honest account of where we really are - rather than presentations that meet 'correctness'. maybe it simply starts in our mind within ourself - but must extend as discernment and prompt call forth, or we deny the answers to our need.

Shock Jock mocked

(Alex Jones disrupts BBC talk show)

Alex Jones is willing to disrupt social protocols with alarming and alarmist warnings. The self-seeking can ONLY see the same in others. We all interpret and perceive wrongly and react from error when what we WANT to be true displaces honesty. This paragraph applies to each and all involved including those who watch.

The real conspiracy is a mentality of self-seeking that actively suppresses or distorts communication if it is felt to be threatening its interests. This takes different forms at different levels. In our own mind it may be a convenient fiction that denies an inconvenient fact, but at the level of corporate powers that have corporate investments and effectively ARE the power of the day (that governments are essentially supported and guided by), the stakes are felt too high to allow truth to interfere.

Mostly, the sheep remain inside their pen - and this refers as much to the so called 'elite' shadow leaders, as to anyone else. Disrupting the status quo seems dangerous. Look at the Middle East. But the status quo is no less dangerous as it becomes divorced from an accountability or honesty that it neither allows nor participates in.
Trying to manipulate outcomes via coercive and hidden means is part of human consciousness until it is brought to light and invalidated.

Now it may be that those who exert power as if on 'our behalf' believe that what they are doing is for our good, in our best interest - or the least of evils to choose among. But they are not in touch with reality but with the trappings of power, with that which speaks to power what it wants or is willing to hear. Power corrupts, and those in positions of trust have a responsibility to themselves and us to not use it to become addicted to its delusions. And citizens likewise a duty to remain free from the addictions of unconsciousness in passive acceptance of loveless, coercively marketed conformities that serve the denial of our true presence.

Presence is life that shares and shines and communicates itself. It is not to be controlled, but trusted, lived out FROM and discerned or received in others - especially when there is confusion.

The rules of reaction recycle the past: 'Divide and rule'. When the past stretches out behind and seamlessly extends as the future, the present is sacrificed to its screams and dictates of guilt and fear. And so the Creative Spirit seems denied while stuck in a loop with no escape. Never shares the Movement of rest and recognition, honouring and gratitude; a '6 day week' that never knows its alpha and omega - and pervading meaning. 666 recurring is the number of the automaton!

Is it not time to move on now? There is no meat on the bone and the game is grown old. To live out from Presence is not coercive upon life - nor upon elites. But it has within it the capacity to refuse entry to that which would undermine integrity - and to give witness in presence to presence as one - for the outer forms themselves are not in themselves the issue, but the meanings our mind accords them.

Alarm may serve awakening, but fear and guilt shut the mind down. Discerning is in the heart. Abide in discerning and grow it. Controversy is the bait of distraction from the movement of our true presence. Hold your ground. 'You're worth it!' And therefore so is everyone else.

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!

Communication breakdown - its always the same

I posted this on this US Gov invokes special privilege to stop scrutiny of data mining - but it speaks to illuminate the control mentality that is consolidating its power in the proxy US through digital communications surveillance without the consent or knowledge of its citizens. I say proxy US, because I am not sure if the Government there is in fact not a proxy for Corporate interests that use the United States of America as a host through which to maintain the conditions for their own private interests, as if these necessarily coincided with the US or indeed the 'New World Order'.

- - -

The temptation is to personalize the issue and engage in righteousness.
The issue I see points to the most fundamental ideas as to what humanity is - what we are - and therefore all that comes from such as we accept true.

The failure of communication may of course be because it has never really been tried. Some kind of war makes propaganda and distrust the normal for everything and whilst the hope of life springs eternal, the signs of it in the minds of those who play out the age is lacking.

Control mentality is a kind of war, whether in advertising or politics. Whilst checks and balances are needed to hold order. This is to be an order in which processes of communication and education can take place. But the blind have nothing to teach except cling on to what you have as long as you can and put the best face on that you can get away with while denying life to others so as to save your own.

Meanwhile, One Life is living all that lives and our capacity to uncover integrity and harmony in our life is available if we are open to it. Fear and control cannot work for more than a short time in which it uses up its own basis and fragments in its own disintegrating babel. Communication requires listening, opening and caring enough to let go of our own prejudgement - of our own thinking. It is a matter of the heart's call and the mind's willingness.

Maybe governments cannot adapt or change. Maybe they simply reflect the patterns of consciousness of their times - of their citizens.

Navigating chaos and confusion calls for discernment not reactive fear and rage. Those are easy to manipulate for those who seek to master the art of manipulation. But one has to play the game to be susceptible to it. None are perhaps as free as they think - but the desire to honour life and know the truth is a significant protection against a lot of dishonest intent.

Evil has the power we give it and the scrap of power we gave it. I don't mean 'evil' as in people we love to hate' - but a sense of intent and design that is anti Life, contra to honest and open desire for well being; a blindness to life in which hate and fear ride roughshod over what trust had grown.

Resist ye not evil, and fear not! - are timely reminders. For what we resist, persists, and fear closes and confuses the mind. The mind - now there is an idea worthy of awakening. Awareness Lives us now - and yet a programmed mask of thinking, runs by our own subscription. What gives?

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!

Spring?

From news.sky.com: Protests Can't Be Called A 'Turkish Spring'
While the recent protests in Turkey have been a blow to the PM, they can't be compared to the Arab uprising.

The headline is not altogether true. The form of the symptoms and their background is not itself the disease and the movement that would shake off the disease is simply the desire to live rather than mere existence.

The movement for life is usually subverted and directed into one or another form of manipulation for the sake of the few at the expense of the many - for such is the dominant mental or cultural model for consciousness - whether secular or notionally religious.

So while there are different patterns of symptom and of control and manipulation, the 'spring' idea symbolizes an awakening that does not know what it is in terms of being organized or politicized - but it knows the smell of a rat - so to speak and wants to be free of it.

Everyone has their own agenda riding along with this and it is clear that there is no New Ideology  - at the level of manipulation via symbols and rationalizations.

Usually the genie is pushed back into the bottle. Often shifts occur from the process, that serve as incremental awakening moments in a larger process than individual lifetimes.

But the issues of Life (deliberately capitalized to indicate the quality of truly shared being) and of control are coming to a head all around the globe in ways that can no longer be contained.

Now maybe it is as the controllers would believe - headed for disaster. But those who have a feeling to live out from a different sense will discern where the blind can only think from the past they made in fear.

The chaos looks very different when we embrace our Life in its Now - and indeed embrace those who have not yet accepted their own life and seek to manage a mere existence under a tyranny of fear - whether dressed secular or religious.

So the business that feeds conflict by focusing on it in order to excite and entertain or present a mask of wise and well intentioned concern is in the wrong business.

Cometh the hour, cometh man Kind.

Everyone is part of where the focus is given.

The movement for Life is already intelligent and holds within it what we need as we need it - if we do not interfere. This takes practice. patience is due to those who are learning to let go of old habits.

It seemed that Spring came late to Britain this year - but it came. When the conditions of the light and the tilt toward the light ARE Spring - there is no stopping it
