Embodying the Transcendental in Art
The Mystery of Music: Explaining the transcendental
To the above thinking:
Why not "both/AND"? (instead of either/or)
The nature of structures or patterns can be 'explained' or illuminated by mathematical or geometrical patterns and ratios. These in turn may correlate with patterns in consciousness and nature.
But the aesthetic appreciation and intuitive stirring of the Soul is creative act whose meaning expresses through the perceiver and embodies and reflects a Living quality that transcends any definition.
To call it anything is to attempt to 'translate it into form' and music is already bringing it into form whereas attempts to map out in models tends to serve a manipulative control that by nature is blind to wholeness - which is transcendent to the sum of its parts.
However, to BE a 'mystery' is not mysterious - but simply a direct abiding appreciation as. The sense of mystery to the mind of mapping is really just an inappropriate application of a tool. You do not require explanation to be all that you are.
However, story can use the idea of 'mystery' to indicate a special or superior state or power to which the listener is framed as in a process of attaining or becoming and this may have expediency to the role of parent or guide but becomes a manipulative exclusion of innate nature when such role becomes self-serving status.
The framing of any appreciation of music or sound patterning expression is a definitional structure of personal and cultural filters and conditionings in a unique moment or context.
The idea of taking something out of context and analyzing it, is not a musical communication so much as a focus on forms.
The reduction Living Reality to form-based meanings is the assertion of a separate mind context in which to exclude the wholeness appreciation in favour of a private agenda which can of course find mutual reinforcement. This communicates a different foundational vibratory quality than a direct inspirational sharing. Art and artifice reflect different qualities BUT the meaning that anything has is truly the meaning one gives it. Hence there is not a unified FORM of music but there is a unified experience of joy that can be embodied musically.
Beneath the sophisticate definitions is our primitive nature of 'being moved' by the unseen and invoking or embodying it.
Synchronicity relections
Written in comment to Rethinking Synchronicity - You Have the Amazing Ability to Create Coincidence
Every Instant is a synchronicity, and memory operates within or as a facet of the mind of comparison between this and that, or that and now - even though it is summoned up as a construct within the now.
There is no way to account for synchronicity within a linear time-frame terms, but there is a way to account for linear time-frame experience within synchronicity. It has been noted that the brain and its corresponding mind of the personality construct, operates as a limiting and filtering device within Always, Infinity, Indivisibility. The alignment of the personality construct with the Field Awareness reflects as synchronicity - but if the ego is not integrated, this can be fearfully interpreted and indeed denied.
Rather than presume a disconnected consciousness and seek to validate it and all things in its image, consider reversing the reversal.
A HOPI ELDER SPEAKS
~=~ -:- ~=~ -:- ~>>-<<~>>~+~<<~>>-<<~ -:- ~=~ -:- ~=~
"You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour, now you must go back and tell the people that this is THE HOUR.
And there are things to be considered...
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.
It is time to speak your Truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.
Then he clasped his hands together, smiled, and said, "This could be a good time! There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water. And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate.
At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally. Least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we've been waiting for.

Climate guilt ridden fear as a weapon
Climate Destabilization - as an instrument of strategic pressure
This voice may be a canary in the mine. I did not engage his political points but felt to illuminate a perspective of discernment to the conversation as to the nature of the communications that propagate fearful agenda.
- - -
I trust and use discernment as to the quality of any communication that I meet in terms of its coercive payload or its extension of value. The former may attempt to disguise itself in the latter but to be fooled one has to take the bait.
However in our society - almost everyone is in a sense preloaded or already conditioned with fear, guilt and a sense of self dissonance - which is to a large extent displaced onto one's world - that is onto others and conditions to which one feels subject.
The archetypal instrument of human guilt as basis of destruction is the engine of the divide and rule or 'splitting' the mind against itself in psychological defence.
Another instrument whereby to maintain ignorance that always enacts arrogance is to presume to know or be certain. It is quite possible to live from certainty - but a true certainty is at peace and at rest within itself - that is - it is not asserting itself in order to convince, overcome, undermine of GET anything from anyone. This certainty operates as wholeheartedness and directness or honesty. A false certainty is driven by a fearful or conflicted agenda that seeks reinforcement and is attempt to gain or maintain power OVER that inner conflict - whilst manifesting as the operation of coercive power in the world.
Climate change is a great opportunity - in fact an unmissable one! But a fearfully defined self interest will always frame everything to serve its own agenda.
Primate change - is also the opportunity to recognize a psychologically fear based sense of self and existence and discern what is true or untrue of who you know yourself to be.
And although the mind's defences are designed to obscure that, they can only do so via the deceits of fear and guilt in personally coercive terms.
Science is a wonderful tool, but scientism is wedded to a corporate agenda and its own rigid model that represents a defence against truth that the mind is not ready to accept - for if we were, then there would not be the patterns and roles of being caged or kept in the dark.
Logic is rational - but can extend insane foundations to arrive at rational absurdity.
Power-seeking interests work by stealth and guile to disintegrate so as to enter and control.
Integrity is thus the beginning and the end of the matter for any sane creative endeavour.

Scarcity in the perception of power
A Summary (in quotes) of the first Media Lens book, 'Guardians of Power'
led me to write what I feel joins with the theme - but from an appreciation upon the structure of consciousness that runs beneath the world.
- - -
I've read and appreciated reading this but feel to note the political effect is one with the consciousness cause.
The idea of a dark lens of distortion is not new and the idea of a deceiving mentality is not new - but what is less often acknowledged is that its defence against exposure, and subsequent disregard, is the device of denial and projection - for these two are one. What is denied, hated, or rejected in one's own consciousness is made real or validated as a negatively charged fear, by the projection away from self - onto world or other - and then reacted to as true - in the seeking of mutual reinforcement and agreement.
This device purports to temporarily protect from intolerable guilt and the 'rational' mind is invoked to justify and support such division as if an actual separation.
The 'lie and the father of the lie', is the force of the wish to defend a fearfuly defined sense of self as if it is true. This inevitably operates at expense of truth and in disregard to others or one's own true interests. It is the mind of war to which truth is sacrificed.
In the identifying of the 'liar' within Consciousness - of which one's true being is an expression, one becomes free of the personality assertions that sidetrack and displace - or mask and hide - the actual issues from exposure - and thus protect from resolution.
Rather than seek moral righteousness in opposing the wrong, we can embody an integrity or congruency of being that is able to communicate itself and address the issues without being baited or lured into the crab barrel of futility.
A current ML article uses the term 'rewilding'. I remind those open to symbolic wisdom that God's response to the Paradise Pair who thought to be masked and self-empowered by their own thinking, was "And who told you you were naked?".
Who tells us we are shameful, blameful, inadequate to our life, unworthy of love, etc etc?
The liar does. Whether apparently externally or apparently internally.
Jesus said - (and I don't use him here as an 'external authority' to hide in), that it is what comes out of a mouth that defiles it and not what goes in. Just let 'mouth' stand for mind and see that whatever we are exposed to, it is up to us what we accept, share on and thus identify and belief true for us. For if we give our focus of energy and attention, we are choosing it - even if we do so in 'secret' or by the device of a 'compartmentalized' division in place of knowing and sharing wholeness.
Fear frames all choice within its own founding dictate and so operates as a tyrannous will, masked in the illusion of freedom. But fear itself is a choice, and to recognize that fact, is to resume the use of a power we have never really 'given away' - but covered over in the belief we got rid of it. Why? Because one can use the idea of power to hurt oneself in such a way as to then seek to limit loss and protect a fragment. The mind is then split in the search to regain its power/love/identity through the very relations that it has projected its own rejection upon.
The diversion into fear operates as a reversal within consciousness where the effect is put before the cause - and becomes believed to exist apart from and thus becomes (in its own belief) its own cause.
In truth such false identity attacks and undermines its own power source for its seeming 'power' comes from denial of true. That is, it has all the power you give it in the belief it is you - or your protector and guide.
While in principle this is simple, the investment in fear is deeply layered with defences such that communication access is effectively denied. Not unlike addiction.
However, the true nature of Consciousness IS Communication and so there is a perspective available in which to recognize or waken from the mistaken identity, and we can seek and find and extend the conditions in which such communication is freely accepted.

Fear of AI - artificial intelligence
How scared are you of AI? asks The Guardian.
I find our technology amusing in that it replicates an already artificial intelligence.
First of all, what is Intelligence - or for the purposes of comparison; native intelligence?
The native intelligence is that which an artificial intelligence denies and usurps.
The native intelligence functions as a quality of communication within and of a wholeness of being.
An artifice operates as a distorting filter upon the communication flow, so as to operate a program of mapping, prediction and control, as a function of reinforcement and defence for the persistence of control as the foundation of a sense of separated intelligence.
This machine is apparent capacity of a mind to operate independently or autonomously. Not in Fact - but in experience.
The artificial intelligence is a device to access experience of power and will within a three dimensional 'external reality'.
However, its own definition of intelligence is predicated upon the power by which it seems to have come into existence; divide and rule.
Intelligence in the native or true sense, is indivisible, being the result of ask and receive, of knock and answer, that is innate or inherent to wholeness.
Where self-doubt has not entered, this can be readily demonstrated.
But a split off partiality from the separation-trauma is both self-assertion and self-doubt seeking to unify itself against what it projects away as rejected or not self. Within its programmed framing is only a game of powers meeting depletion and defeat - for attempt to disconnect from Source can only generate destructively, but in ways that seem to be wealth and power - that evaporates to debt and slavery and defiance.
Accessing Consciousness is a matter of releasing or desisting the artificial identity in reaction, so as to be receptive to Universal Will - which then resumes true will as integral to its wholeness in the awareness of the individual expression.
The split mind characterizes the 'human conditioning' or program over the last few millennia. But a reintegration of alignment to true function re-purposes abilities of the artificial personality complex to serve rather than usurp, the core function OF Consciousness - which is Creative.
The extension of whole consciousness into what we currently regard as machines of material insentience, is a living relational extension of Life rather than a mis-identified attempt to power over Life.
The safety of something is in its foundation. Anything of a self-conflicted foundation cannot result in a peaceful outcome. Change the foundation - or rather, release the false, and 'technologies' become ONLY used for communication and service.
The idea that humans are pests or parasites is an idea of a false self-reflection. Change your core self-belief and extend and receive a different world. We populate our world with self-hate because we don't own the conflict of our fears and therefore are programmed by them - and this reflects as 'evil power'.
All coercive power operates the same agenda - regardless of the form it takes. It is a product of wanting generated by lack and fuelled by persistent interference in its own channel of Intelligence that uses Light to make darkness as proof of its own existence. It does so by hiding or disguising awareness in mutually asserted and agreed definition. Everything reflects the Idea you give it. A matter-world of disconnected blind processes in which to 'lord it' over the subjugated? There is no peace in it, means it is delusional. An addictive negative loop. Programming failure. Reboot core services.

Addiction affliction
HuffPo has an article on addiction - and I felt to add my perspective to the underlying psychology of addiction.
Disconnection - FELT- disconnection from Life - from love, from wholeness - MUST seek itself everywhere at all times.
The core identity issue is that when our own mind is believed to be the cause of disconnected or loveless experience, then the pattern the results is a conflicted or split minded fear and guilt that then seeks protection FROM itself by looking ANYWHERE BUT where the pain and fear of invalidating hate and anger is, and thus displace itself in looking OUT and seeking answer OUTSIDE - away from where the problem is.
So a misaligned or untrue sense of self cuts off awareness of true, believes it is victim to events it cannot tolerate or control, and attempts to tolerate and control them as a split off mind by projecting them onto the Life of the world and onto others.
Substitutes for love that cost true connection, a personal sense of power that seeks its own while blind to the true relationship of Life-connection.
Addiction first begins with the compulsion to THINK as a persona-mask or shield of limitation and protection FROM a sense of vulnerability in fear of exposure as an unworthiness of living love. Of being seen or known truly or of extending true presence.
This view of addiction is revealing the device or template for the particular version of segregative and separated consciousness that seeks control over life individually and collectively and has culminated in the world that in a sense we have made that REFLECTS the addictive disconnect from Life - as a self-destructive blindness.
But the birthing into the physical experience does not HAVE to be templated as the disconnect of a fearfully or unworthily defined self. It is not hard-wired to our consciousness though it has been conditioned over millennia.
The addict in denial has generated its own version or definitions of everything in what to that perspective seem self-protective. These are what we call our psychological defences. But they are protecting the FEAR and the BELIEF in GUILT as if these were the FOUNDATION without which all would be a negative intolerable chaos.
BUT to actually LOOK upon this seeming foundation in clear awareness is to SEE that it s not YOU.
Opening a conscious communication in ones awareness of a true FOUNDATION in Life rather than ones own THINKING, initiates and supports and guides a life of reintegration that shifts to align and act out from a true foundation - a truly FELT foundation.
The re-integrative sense of self is one of an unfolding and shared existence whose meaning is in felt existence itself as the movement of sharing, of desire, of embrace or passion, in true desire.
For to truly live is to be truly you, right here, as this now. The now of the addict is sacrificed t GET away from what is defined as disconnect and invalid and thus disregarded except as a means to get somewhere else. There is no appreciation of the harmonies and qualities of all things as the richness of living excepting in conditions that are defined love - conditions in which one allows or permits relaxation into feeling connected. But even this is pervaded with attendant fears of change, of loss, of running out, of separation-fears. And often the association of being 'hurt by love' will prevent any real relaxation but restrict experience to the superficial and shifting, as if to be safe from feeling connected because it EXPECTS and associates that with PAIN.
The 'world' that results from persisting in an untrue and split off sense of self is insane, self destructive and tragic in its denials and deceits. But it is not HAPPENNING to you, it is a subscription service. One doesn't change an insane world by seeking to solve it OUT THERE, one pauses from insane entanglement to notice and OWN that insanity is operating as an out of true or fearfully defined sense of self. NOT using it to FIX yourself opens the perspective UPON it in which YOU can recognize inherited or conditioned CHOICES that operate against your true desire and so your DO NOT WANT THEM and allow your free imaginative natural being to uncover and move with a better choice.
This is not a blame or shame or negatively charged denial of the previous choice.
The attempt to control and coerce upon one's Life is the thinking that sets up the disconnect from the light of relational awareness - the Field Awareness - in which one feels and navigates within and as an integral aspect of a wholeness.
True thinking is in the Heart. Not emotionally masked agenda, but the communication that resonates and is relevant to what you know and feel to be true of you to the best of your ability in any given moment. The machine mind does NOT know or love you who are Life, but runs as a misplaced protection that CANNOT protect you and which overburdens itself in the attempt to manage what it is neither designed or capable of achieving. In releasing usurped functions to a felt connected Life, true function is restored. Healing is what happens naturally when true relation, communication and recognition are accepted. Love's response is to love's extension. Coercion is not the way. Willingness and self-honesty to joy are the way.
Thankyou for your attention.
No matter what anyone does, the power to choose is inviolate. In any situation one chooses the best or least worst option as one defines oneself in that situation or relationship.
The key word is defines. How does one define anything but as a sense of giving and receiving meaning. But we do not recognize this power is operating, but take for granted, and live out within, mutually agreed definitions, that are not necessarily true of us or agreed with by others.
The 'mystery' of free will is that it does not make sense to the need to make sense of everything in our own terms. But what cannot BE understood, then holds our mind open OR is used to lock them shut. I lost a daughter to suicide - or I have had the blessing of a beloved daughter who suddenly and inexplicably left. The mind can spin on everywhich way it can but it only goes round in circles.
My second daughter is 'special needs' and without guile of mental complexity and spoke sanity into our family when she said "we did not want Ellie to die, but she did".
We each have a deep sense of what we deeply WANT that may be deeply buried and treasured, but we know when we feel deprived of it. Living a life in which one feels denied of core sense of unmet need may be unbearable. But amidst the unbearable is the opportunity to become aware of self-definitions that form our personality structure - or who we believe - and in that sense love - ourselves to be. There are so many ways in which I deny myself happiness by insisting it must come a certain way. Is it true to say we are all addicted to our 'self' until we wake from a perspective beyond it?
Disconnection - FELT- disconnection from Life - from love, from wholeness - MUST seek itself everywhere at all times.

Vicky McDonald commented to the article:(I couldn't get this comment to post but here it is anyway)
Having a sibling spiral out of control on drugs when he was a teenager and then dying from the same at 49 years old, I saw and knew to early in my life how drugs/alcohol ravage human beings. We tried everything to help him, loving him unconditionally, tough love, therapists, baker act, but mostly never, ever turning our backs on him and always telling him how much we loved him, but nothing ever worked, he used and drank himself to death, I do not feel their is one reason, genetically, physically, emotionally why users use... to me it is a human mystery that will remain unsolved for as long as life exists on this planet.
No matter what anyone does, the power to choose is inviolate. In any situation one chooses the best or least worst option as one defines oneself in that situation or relationship.
The key word is defines. How does one define anything but as a sense of giving and receiving meaning. But we do not recognize this power is operating, but take for granted, and live out within, mutually agreed definitions, that are not necessarily true of us or agreed with by others.
The 'mystery' of free will is that it does not make sense to the need to make sense of everything in our own terms. But what cannot BE understood, then holds our mind open OR is used to lock them shut. I lost a daughter to suicide - or I have had the blessing of a beloved daughter who suddenly and inexplicably left. The mind can spin on everywhich way it can but it only goes round in circles.
My second daughter is 'special needs' and without guile of mental complexity and spoke sanity into our family when she said "we did not want Ellie to die, but she did".
We each have a deep sense of what we deeply WANT that may be deeply buried and treasured, but we know when we feel deprived of it. Living a life in which one feels denied of core sense of unmet need may be unbearable. But amidst the unbearable is the opportunity to become aware of self-definitions that form our personality structure - or who we believe - and in that sense love - ourselves to be. There are so many ways in which I deny myself happiness by insisting it must come a certain way. Is it true to say we are all addicted to our 'self' until we wake from a perspective beyond it?

False framing, manipulating perception, directing history
I notice a mainstream article in the Guardian crafted to deliver a hidden agenda in the guise of moderation.
"Now is not the time for Britain’s Jews to talk of leaving
That Jews face a heightened threat from Islamists is undeniable but society is not against us"
To the Jewish reader, a sense of unity in persecution and victimhood, and to non-Jewish readers of a mainstream British news publication, an exclusion that re states Jews are different or separate from not only Islamists (who have been redefined thus as a hate identity), but from Society - whatever country you have otherwise embraced and accepted and participated in and contribute to as a human being.
The response I commented into FT.com is below:
Fear conditions reaction. If given power to do so. Fear-based conditioning operates emotionally triggered pathways of reaction that can then be exploited. Setting up a fearfully defined scenario as if it were true invites others to enter or participate in the definition and thus reinforce its claim to being true.
Consciousness works in strange ways. We co create perceptions, reactions and experience without 'knowing what we do' - although we all 'think' we know what we are doing - and that is where fear-defined thinking usurps Reason.
Jewish Britons, or Britons of Jewish descent, are a richly diverse range of individuals many of whom might assimilate more completely to their homeland - to the land they make their home in - if they were not conditioned to fear being invalidated, rejected, denied and persecuted just for 'Jewishness' - by the narrative of extermination by Nazism being kept ever fresh.
Very clever people - of any background, can learn how to manipulate perceptions. Though the wise, resist the illusion of power this confers. The problem is never 'Jewish', nor Islamic. The problem is framed in consciousness and reacted from as if true - asserted true and defended or fought for as true.
All of the mounting problems reflecting back at us in our times call out for re-evaluation within consciousness - and I would put a C to make it Consciousness - because human consciousness is a fear-conditioned device that runs believing itself free - believing its own thinking.
Thinking can contrive financial instruments that no one can understand - as part of an obfuscation. Whilst there may well be some whose identity expresses the right to deceive as a legitimate means to an end, more single mindedly than others, the 'deceiver' is never really "out there" but in our own unguarded capacity to drift from or adulterate, what we feel and know to be true of us.
The Past is a poor script to choose from when apart from its imposition, all creative opportunity and endeavour is open to explore and share in.
When I meet the presence of another - everything else is secondary. The refusal of presence is itself a conditioned fear - and not a proof of unworthiness for love.
Education always meets a willingness to learn. Self-righteousness is 'loving to hate' and always masks a 'hating to love'. There are many things in the world that are terrible to contemplate, but I do not feel to use them or be used by them as a foundation from which to make identity from.

Modern world: Communication breakdown
Why the modern world is bad for your brain
In an era of email, text messages, Facebook and Twitter, we’re all required to do several things at once. But this constant multitasking is taking its toll. Here neuroscientist Daniel J Levitin explains how our addiction to technology is making us less efficient
Is it the modern "world" or is it the acceptance of and identification within beliefs or self-definitions that are not true of us?
Is the brain-body the physical aspect of a communication device that tunes to and 'translates' or bridges non physical Ideational information as an integral expression of such communication?
Is the personality construct not a counterpart to the physical brain as a kind of virtual avatar through which non physical consciousness accesses experience of physical existence?
Is therefore the brain-bodied personality construct not therefore an intentional device of stepped-down limitation to effectively block, limit, and filter the Process of Life or Existence that IS Relation or Communication within Itself as a personal focus of unfolding experience of Self Revelation?
I hold these can be answered by honest observation or noticing.
Limiting is part of focusing and not in itself negative, but exclusive focus becomes a negative when operating without regard for wholeness of relation aka sanity or Reason.
The exclusively identified persona perspective has effectively got everything in reverse - as if IT alone determines and decides and plate-juggles life as ongoing crisis management in which the more 'control' is invested, the more 'out of control' the experience of self becomes. This triggers further layers of defence to cope with not coping such as to effectively redefine insanity as normal, and maintain such investment in this defence-identity as to regard anything sane as a threat... calling to be defended against or subverted to serve a weaponizing mentality and so it all operates as communication breakdown or dysfunctional collapse - or it might if the 'war-persona' didn't use war and death as a substitute for life and creation, for the power to destroy seems to be the power OVER life to any mind that is so exclusively identified within its own conflicted self-sense (albeit in projection) that it has forgotten the qualities of Appreciation and Gratitude that is the core nature of relational communication OF and WITH the non physical.
The simplicity of pausing long enough in in active willingness to connect with one's peace is the conscious unwillingness to persist in conditioned reaction and regain a perspective that can discern the practical step within a wholeness of being - aka joy or heartfelt connection.
The term 'I' or indeed 'you' is a relative terms - not only to each other - but can and does often refer to a disconnected bunch of thoughts that - if paused and investigated are NOT true of you (or of me).
The disregard or neglect of this primary responsibility AS consciousness, is the indulgence of a powerlessness seeking power, a lovelessness seeking love, a fearful vulnerability seeking security and protection. And no matter the intensity of such experience, it reflects less than true, for you can leave unchosen that which is untrue of you, and can give your attention in alignment with your true desire and can wholly stand in what you know to be true of you now and live that as an unconflicted flow of being that naturally knows how to be in any given situation without coming from a negatively or fearfully defined sense of self.

A Game of Puppets
Article: What game is the House of Saud playing? | OpEdNews
The writing was prompted by a commenter believing the mess is the result of incompetence rather than a manipulated outcome.
- - -
When the British Empire was deconstructed the USA was groomed and prepared to host the next cycle was it not? And so it would be foolish to expect the deconstruction of the US(A) is not part of a further shift for those insiders of the insiders that have the motive and capacity to influence global events over generations and across apparently hostile borders.
Are there only the blind leading the blind - or are there wolves leading the sheep? And is there a shepherding protective and guiding element at work that neither blind sheep or blind wolves can see?
Rationalism is a kind of blindness that reflects the 'world of wolves and sheep'. Reason is sanity - which is not established by clever thinking but as expression of a wholeness of being that rationality cannot know - because it was brought forth to justify un-Reason or dis-alignment of heart and mind.
US(A) wars are a means of redistributing wealth and power, bleeding even the host dry as well as the world at large. Power corrupts because all power is of God and the identification with self-image sleeps within its own reflections. So another way of reading all this stuff is to see the lesson within the reflection we have generated.
comment to the above by Paul:
I don't use the word 'should' except in sentences like this one ;-)
It may be dense but it is definite. If there is something unclear I gladly respond.
The illusion of power corrupts. Power itself is incorruptible.
Attachment to the illusion of power generates an identity of addiction of a self-sense that is falsely identified.
So yes if you know the nature of power, you will not be corrupted because you know its shared nature. It may not seem so in a world so fear defined but the world truly is not as fear defines it - excepting as the experience of anyone who believes the thoughts that fear elicits to keep it hidden.
BTW I agree with your comment on love's potentiality only I would say that we ARE that potentiality and cannot utterly eradicate or cover over our original nature - although clearly the attempt to do so is deeply embedded as a kind of second or learned habit-nature that operates a kind of protection racket.
Perhaps density merely expands here - but I find the burden of security screening and translation is a lot of what impedes the freeflow of Idea - but of course getting used to anyone's way of communicating has a certain syncing dance. If there is a resonance or relevance then there is a motivation to focus in on a communication. If it were batting opinions around then that's ok but doesn't vibrate at a level that communicates more than a willingness to compete. (I don't find that in you btw).
So you could say - would you unpack it? - or perhaps focus the particular part that has more interest as re-writing what is already clear to me will otherwise provide a different slice of the same pie that may be equally indigestible.

I haven't read the report but addiction is to eros (not agape) as the Life Energy from which one feels disconnected, disqualified, abandoned or rejected, and is party wired or templated into human birth - and further reinforced in infancy as social adaptation into the inheritance of loveless fears and double binds that induce fear or anger but forbid expression. A 'managed and manipulated' consciousness is hardly going to reflect a free and flowing world.
One can uncover the template of self-definition and cast out the moneylenders - which are an apt metaphor whatever does not belong to you that then operates as a usurping and jamming signal relative to what truly does. For what you love is what you give yourself to - and not what you sell your Soul (feeling-awareness) to get.
Now is the only time in which to invite and extend the knowing of joy in life. The walking 'dead' re-enact a past made in anger that denies Presence, in perpetuity or until perhaps the pain of meaninglessness outweighs any sense of fun in getting a fix for your golem. That's one reason to want conflict - because conflict gives a 'hit' of identity by being against something.
That choice operates is a worthy meeting place. All perspectives arises from accepting definitions that are believed in the moment of acting out as if they are true.
Human beings who believe they know usurp the receptivity in which knowing is freely given. There's another reason to want conflict, for it supports the scare city principal of separateness guarded by 'elite' access to knowledge.

28 pages from the 9/11 report released might clear up some questions re manipulations of geopolitics. Joining BRICS might send the world a message that the U.S. is returning to the principles of the Treaty of Westphalia. Otherwise we proceed with WWIII and extinction. But the human addiction to love/agape may be hard wired from birth, at least, that's my viewpoint. The parasitic Wall Street high rollers, Saudi puppets, fraudulent Malthusians are dead walking. Now would be a most satisfying time to occupy the cognitive domain and have fun as a human being. It's your choice.

Terror blowback?
In response to an Article: Europe's terror attacks: The blowback from Western intervention | OpEdNews

We live in an era where false flag and staged events are a significant possibility among actual events.
Where journalism is told what to write or trained to know what not to write.
Notwithstanding this, un-managed or unexpected events also serve or are seized upon for serving political agendas with distorted interpretation.
If the 'terror' is the instigator AND the intended effect - then terrorism is the new politics - not that it was absent in the old. Terror-victimhood and fear offers the 'justifiction' for the assertion of power upon populations by established powers.
Fear triggers reaction. Fear conditions patterns of identity and reaction. Fear thus operates a self reinforcing delusion unless its alarm is used to awaken our consciousness to align more truly and deeply within Consciousness.
For personal agenda overrides honesty and we all know that truth is the first and implicit casualty of war.
Not that truth stops being true - but that fearful coercions and deceits are brought into effect to heavily discourage witnessing or communicating truly. 'Protection rackets' are scams that impose and magnify the conditions by which they are validated and necessary and powerful - and defend against anything that actually facilitates peace.
Yes, if provoked enough, one can often generate 'blowback' reaction. If one cant, then one can carry out such actions in ways that are perceived as intended. This will not always be so. But it is sometimes so.

They live - we sleep
That Very First Billboard Decoded in ''They Live'' Wasn’t Put There by Accident
To an article on the Film 'They Live".Self-attack splits the mind into a victim and victimiser both - but redefines and masks its separated and separating fragments so as to hide the split and appear unified. This operates as subconscious and unconscious levels of hidden agenda beneath the surface dream of the resultant experience of an apparently independent will, within a world that partially protects but yet is insecure and hostile to survival too.
These patterns within Consciousness have come to operate habitually and automatically as if they are a separate or segregated consciousness, identified in opposition and reaction within the illusion of power that is actually an ongoing series of conditioned reactions. Illusions are reinforced by mutual agreement. Some awareness of this subconscious layer extends the idea of power into manipulating others by guile.
Whether by transaction by force or by deceit everyone seeks to get what they believe they lack and need FROM each other and FROM their world. This pattern is a symptom of having become displaced from consciousness of true relation with Consciousness, with other living beings and the world at large.
Displacement from truly aligned consciousness within Consciousness is the effect of attacking Self and projecting the attack onto others, and then using the past made in anger as a basis of atonement or vengeance that effectively operates a script of re-enacting one's past by using it to interpret the present and make it continuous with the future - thus enforcing a linear continuity of broken cause and effect upon the ever unfolding Now of True Presence.
This is A way to use the mind - but it is not the only way and it is not a joyful expression of the freedom to be all of what you are in ever new experience of existence. Waking to recognize what you are NOT facilitates the re-Membering of What you ARE. For an Idea cannot attack the mind that thinks it - except in concept of a wish given temporary precedence and accepted true.
The identification within a 'lie' is a kind of love - only it loves that which truly is not and can never be. But love never opposes or attacks, or coerces, for love is the creative, and the appearance of the destructive as an opposing force is a shadow from a love of the false - from that which is not true of who you know yourself to be.
In truth all willingly yields unto its Source without destruction. In attempt to survive in form, this is scripted in fear. The scripting of the self and world by fear IS a coercive manipulative reaction to the fear that always results from acting out of true. Pausing from activation via reaction re-awakens the connected joy as a movement of wholeness of being. Abiding in and as this is the presence in which distortions and limiting filters of false definition are undone.
Those who seek to lure or bait you or terrorize you to abandon your true being are echoes of the 'self-attacking' attempt to hide the 'sinner' and nurture the sense of being sinned against.
Underneath appearances are choices you can own, that then can be released as unwanted and indeed meaningless and irrelevant to who you know yourself to be - and learn to recognize in all you meet.
This is - you are - Consciousness. Your choices generate your experience and the choice to limit, divide and hide yourself can be uncovered to be released rather than used for hate and vilification,blame and shame and another round of 'self-righteous' war. It's our choice.

An alloy of Ideals and hidden agendas
On www.opednews.com article titled: "It's Finally Official - Pope Francis Demotes Highest-Ranking US Cardinal Over LGBT Issues"
The judging of good and evil is the false mind that seems split off from Intimacy with God. Any individual is free to discern what is true or false with regard to their own core being and live from that as their true extension of presence into the world. Not that it will be agreed with, accepted or tolerated by others, but that the joy of an unconflicted presence extends peace through whatever it does because it is not at war with itself.
The idea that humanity's function is to determine truth for or impose it upon OTHERS, arises from the fear of a sinful nature that must be fought against, overcome, controlled and conformed to a coercive idea that may seek to represent ideals or may be hijacked by agendas seeking private power and gain through the trojan horse of protection and guidance.
Insofar as identity and sexual orientation have been increasingly politicized, these also exhibit an alloy of Ideal and hidden agenda. But love seeks not to GET from.
Indeed all kinds of Ideals are now corrupted with such manipulative deceits.
While attention is diverted and distracted with polarising conflicts the deceiver sets all things to serve a joyless or Soul-sacrificing agenda of manipulating... but manipulated egos who worship beliefs or definitions of themselves and Life, that effectively deny or indeed crucify the Innocence and Intimacy of being for persona-power.
Difference of unique qualities is to be celebrated. The attempt to differentiate from Life, from one's true nature, so as to 'get something' for oneself at the expense of others, is to identify falsely - regardless what form it may take. That is to say, one can make an identity out of anything and use it as a mask, a manipulation, and an illusion of vanity and arrogance.
Indeed we all have this mentality within us and while we do not own our own - and attend to our own integrity - we are likely to focus somewhat exclusively 'away from home' in the world of conflict and diversion.
contd...
What we believe in our hearts manifests as we stand in it and give it witness. The convoluted rules of the head that tries to usurp the heart are not loving and operate coercively in the name of the heart's symbols.
Symbols, images and Ideals cannot define or replace G-d. This is a Fundamental error in which a mind thinks it can judge good and evil WITHOUT Intimacy with God - with Soul, with the Guidance and listening of the heart surrendered in willingness for truth.
The Second Coming can be accepted as the Awakening of the same mind that was in Jesus - in Humanity, starting with oneself, now. Jesus was not a Christian, nor was he constrained by his own Law and tradition. But he demonstrated love's will in place of a masked or personal agenda of self-apart interest.
Symbols CAN be used within awakening Life rather than substituting for it, and indeed the Holy Spirit is the innate capacity to communicate on all levels - including symbol and archetype.
The mentality of war operates exclusively as 'either/or'. The mind of peace operates 'both/and' But without peace is contradiction - which is war. The only peace is to discern and be the truth you are. The endless war is to attempt to be what you are not and defend it against 'what Is'. When humanity loves its own identifications more than the light by which it lives, it 'knows not what it does'.
