Libertarianism or freedom?

Commentary to article on the Daily Bell regarding Conservatism and Libertarianism - with reference to various other ism.
- - -

Regardless of any forms of thinking, they can be used to substitute for the freedom and communication of shared and embodied idea - and thus become a separation device for a coercive or mechanical subjugation of the living idea to the dead concept.

The freedom of idea creation and its embodiment cannot be got rid of, because it is you, but can seem to be lost to self definitions of a coercive intent. That we then seem to suffer within our consciousness and by reflection

While we merely react to, we persist in, and experience and identify as. This merely re-enacts past decisions or interpretations in perhaps new clothes.

That we are not merely reactive mechanism to be programmed, managed and subjugated is not proven by taking the bait of opposing such idea - but by embodying the freedom and communication of the shared idea. Of unalloyed inspiration.

The shared idea is not coercive upon us but reveals us to ourselves and each other. To the mind that is engaged in conflict and identifies itself thereby, the shared nature of existence is 'game over' and so it is predicated on persistence against all odds - and ultimately against all that lives. Fearful survival as a psyche, identified exclusively with the body.

Such mentality of a segregative self is blind by choice, though it insists there is no light or that it has killed it or been somehow abandoned. Its foundation depends on knowing not what it does and of course it redefines freedom in terms of the separated and secret self interest, which embodies as a 'war of powers'.

To be unconflicted in oneself is to embody the freedom to communicate within oneself such that nothing is denied or rejected. But what is chosen from all the strands that are presently moving, is that which is relevant and resonant to one's joy.

Enlivenment is not really a resurrection, so much as the sloughing off of what does not serve nor belong to us in our connected joy. If libertarianism is not an expression of the freedom it purports to aspire to or deliver, then it has been 'infiltrated and usurped' by a loveless or joyless intent.

Good News! A loveless of joyless intent has been uncovered whereby to own and release and thus more freely embrace and embody joy. If not for the feedback-reflections of our interaction we would not uncover our own self-imprisonments - and so gratitude is due to those who bring us such realisation - though they know not what they do,

The discovery that the light is not dead, nor absent, nor rejecting one's sense of self, is profound. A foundation uncovered that replaces that made in fear and darkness. Learning to live in true alignment amidst the old habit mentality is like a struggle - but is really a persistence and consistency of valuing one's self. This is inextricably linked with our valuing of each other and of Life - with a capital L - for life is not as we define it. It lives us and our experience of it is via the definitions and beliefs we choose and accept.

Perspective is always available, but identifying exclusively with a segregative mentality foregoes perspective to follow its own thinking. This is simply a matter of awakening responsibility as Consciousness. Yes, a capital C!

Unless our perspective opens to Consciousness itself, we merely persist in and as the same idea of 'power over'. And it is this that makes us unfree while we employ and engage it.

Correlations in Consciousness - Central Banking and Control Mentality

 I wrote this first into the Daily Bell's commentary on Central banking and deceit


Central Banking is a stealth or shadow governance. Within its domain one is supported and enabled to exercise the freedoms it permits, which work to increase dependence and undermine sovereignty of will. It is a symbolic representation of a 'deceiver' mentality, by which one can be served a self specialness of added power, freedom or possession. This is the exchange of the living for the dead, because the living is a presence based wealth and the dead is that which is... not here - though it seemed to be then and is surely coming when...

I appreciate dipping into the attempts of a self honesty that permeate the Daily Bell and its commentary contributions, but I am an uneducated illiterate with regard for the complexities of financial systems of communication. However, in my own observation and experience within consciousness, I can feel the correlation of the complex trickery of the mind in its mutifaceted psychological and emotional defence mechanism - which is required  divided the indivisible and to justify the unjustifiable... with the expressions of power (in the worldly sense) such as are principally exercised in control of the supply and communication of information that which is or has been made vital.

Breakdowns of control can be in a sense manipulations to more radically dissociate - such as into rigid fundamentalist mentality - which can give way to a more integrated consciousness but often replaces one form of tyranny with another.

The mechanisms of dissociation are in the catch-all of sin-guilt-fear-terror. The word 'sin' is used here in its raw sense of dissonant being - of a conflicted self-sense that is uncomfortable, alarming, disturbing, unsettling. Maintaining a posture or focus of consciousness that is out of alignment with one's true desire, has such a 'contra to the flow' sense of opposition - but is easily released as a whole consciousness. However, the capacity to use such dissonance as a basis for a mentality of dissociating or segregating consciousness is one that operates from a self-defined standard of currency of experience.

Such is our human personal consciousness when dissociated from presence in its distractions and diversion of a mentality of what could be called a 'control mentality' or a 'private creation'. If one asks 'what is presence' then one is successfully disconnected from the living, by what has no actual foundation in the living - being born of 'dead' or disconnected and disconnecting thinking.

Recognizing the patterns and devices of power and deceit in the world, has the opportunity to own our own consciousness, instead of being run by its 'central banking system', and so to live - that is to listen or receive as well as to act forth - in ways that honour the uncovered wholeness or presence of one's actual connectedness or integral existence.

This is an entirely different basis than seeking a privately owned centrally controlling survival mode. trying to roll the perspective of such intimate knowings or insight into the complex derivatives of hidden or imaginary values, cannot work and can only work against the emergence of a deeper sanity.

But of course one can and must work with what works, in whatever ways work best  - in the light of a working integrity of consciousness. The way in which we live and work - and indeed rest and play - is the keynote - because that which is fear-based always communicates its parentage - no matter what forms or presentations it asserts or how many agree to accept such presentations as if they were actual presence.

The mutual constructs of human consciousness and its cultures and civilisations are an alloy of fear and love. Love is the unified and unifying presence that is lost to any attempt to coercion - and so is perceived threat to the segregative self-sense that gives rise to fear as the means and power and nurtures guilt as the leverage to undermine and make powerless.

With such 'consciousness exploration', love and the fear are mixed up in such complex confusion that clear and consistent vision has become impossible from within the 'game'. Because the link to a truly aligned Conscious Presence is so readily usurped by a mentality of righteous presumption.

Negative co-operations can work as checks and balances so as to maintain a capacity to continue in the 'game' - albeit with agreements to give away power so that no one has overwhelming power. But no matter how well meaning or well devised such systems are on surface - beneath it is the mentality unchanged that will seek out and find the way to subvert such rules or systems to its own private appetites. The cat and mouse scenario between competition for power evolves as ever more complex specialisations, such as to become opaque to the general population - or in terms of individual consciousness, to provide an unquestionable surface reality that is de facto lived within rather than challenged and seen for what it is rather than what is seems.

It is impossible to communicate to those who believe they are disconnected, independent, power unto themselves while they are wholly engaged in the 'game' of such self-definition and its experience. Not because one's presence ceases to communicate all that it is - but than no one is listening.

But when the tares grow such as to ruin the harvest, the desire for a true harvest re-awakens as the memory and desire for true presence, and a natural process of sorting out and purification, reveals what is of value from what is valueless.

An honest accounting and good housekeeping, serve good relations. The hiding of the fear - and what fear spawns, is the mask. While we play the game of mask, we neglect our presence. To release the desires of the mask is to encounter one's fears. The desire to move through or undo fear is the opening to the living information that our greater consciousness holds in trust for our willingness to listen.

Our will , each and all, is sovereign, but a disconnected imposter is given all the attention. A coercive will is a dishonesty. If one plays the game, one suffers by the very mentality one asserts. What is our 'will' when it is truly free to know and be known? It is freedom from coercion - but more than that it is freedom to create and appreciate joy.

"Go forth and multiply" profits the original investment. In fear of loss, a masked light multiplies shadows in which fear grows - and 'goes viral'.

To activate conscious presence and be guided and supported within it rather that to effect leverage as if one is outside it, is to accept what is already given, but see it with new or fresh appreciation - without the dark glasses.

Revolution or disengagement?

In an article on www.thecactusland.com titled Revolution or disengagement,
I commented toward the engagement of awakened Consciousness responsibility as an essential living presence amidst the disengagement from corporate consumerism:

The 'problem' in its various threads rises from a split mind that looks 'outside'  while neglecting or disregarding 'inside'.

The nature of Consciousness itself is largely lost or forgotten within the specific use of a portion of consciousness for the exercise of a personal or private sense of power over.

My essential point is that awakening responsibility as Consciousness cannot merely redistribute, rebrand or repackage 'problem' as if to keep it from coming home, and expect a true foundation to bring forth fruit in our lives.

One has to own that which is our own consciousness and let go the tricky mentality of acting out from what one is NOT - from a disconnected coercive mentality that disguises itself ingeniously to suit its needs and not your own good.

It is like a parasite - excepting it is fundamentally an aspect of self-definition that automatically distorts and replaces the fundamentally felt quality of shared existence, with a sense of fearful disconnection and powerlessness. Such is the seed of the psychological drive to power that each calls 'myself'.

If (amidst one's commons sense responsibilities) one uses the world as a mirror instead of a dumping ground, it reflects such as to illuminate negative self-definitions that resonate, attract, reinforce and propagate through actions rising from them.

Materialism is blind to the cause facet of the event facet - where both are two sides of a coin. It completely overlooks and is blind to the current cause/event in its obsession with solving the past in the future - which is the denial of the living present - where Consciousness is - and within which is everything that is - including current models of past and future.

I attempt to re-mind readers here of a perspective upon our construct of consciousness, for which we each have so much identification and attachment, that it is utterly defended against exposure yet locked into self-definitions that are destructive or self defeating.

This mentality is writ large on the screen of our world, where instead of role-playing within it, we can use it to awaken, if we choose.

Shifting from a fear-driven linear mentality back to a reintegrated conscious freedom of being is not understandable in terms of the old paradigm. One has to - in a sense - abandon the coercive or fearful guide as one opens to the embracing inclusive guide. Such communication occurs within us in ways that guide and support and illuminate our consciousness to ourselves in ways we each recognize and accept. There is no call to push or coerce anyone into any patterning just because it has been helpful to our self. The truly connected do not need to reinforce self-belief by 'selling it', but can serve that process of willingness to reopen such connection in others.

The presence that is non-coercive communicates a tangible quality of knowing and being known - by doing nothing that would interrupt such a natural fulfilment of being. The attempt to puff up or magnify presence as a coercion upon life costs us our Soul-connecting awareness - and all the perspective, guidance and support that is integral to such awareness.

So in a sense, the message is initially stark and to the point:

"PUT THE GUN DOWN!". This shout is whispered within us from the gentlest peace of our being - that would take nothing from us nor deny us anything we choose. But if we begin to discern such an inner calling to abandon coercive will, so will a perspective be revealed in which we see we did not want it, nor does it give us what we want, but is blocking or destructive to our peace and our capacity for love and life shared. In THIS we have chosen differently, not as a mentality, but choosing to abandon a mentality as a frame of reference.



Words  - all forms - can be used to deceive - while the desire to be deceived is active. Yet all forms are a carrier or vehicle for a quality of presence. learning to trust discernment is learning to abide in the heart, in the presence of  a 'not knowing' that is open  - and into which a wholeness of perception arises. Anything coercive can be felt from the innocence of such un-claimed presence - and can also be penetrated as to what is really moving through it.

When we hate the hater, we perpetrate a self-hatred yet know not what we do.

It has to stop somewhere, that all comes home and is healed of loveless intent. Now is always a good time to come home to a wholeness that one could never truly leave, but self-attack so asserts.

Gratitude to the article above - and to the willingness of others here for a the life that shares, communicates, knows and trusts its movement as equally unique with All That Is. A believed lack of true worth deprives us all of such presence - and searches in darkness for what cannot be found - because You Are It - but not specially, exclusively or separatingly so.

Beneath the personality, beneath the event, are the ideas being embodied

"I'm not a spy' says Snowden


It might be becoming obvious that nothing can be taken on face value. Deception is part of the armoury of 'foreign relations' and this state of war is perpetual though varying in nature and intensity - and is waged on any populations by those who no longer have any sense of serving except in self-justifying fantasy.

Yet there is the competition as to which version of 'reality' is more 'real' and which is to be invalidated - increasingly with disregard for facts or Reason, as an attempt to dictate reality rather than discover and share it. Power corrupts and hollows out.

Any attempt to control Reality is absurd - yet the attempt to coerce and control the perceptions of reality operates a mentality of fear and division that runs as an undercurrent of our human conditioning.

The complexity of propaganda and disinformation includes leaks that are true, false, or selective of both, and responses to such events that are themselves part of the ruse. Perhaps there is also a feeling to protect people from what they are believed not to be capable of understanding or accepting. But it all works to undermine trust in authorities and institutions - which then fuels the reaction of such entities and futher escalates war-management in place of communication.

War is what occurs when communication and relationships break down. War waged upon communication and relationship is another matter, for it seeks to undermine all obstructions to its goal. Nothing true can be allowed.

The illusionist distracts attention from what is really going on. To be distracted by the personal is to miss the actual events in play, to be distracted by the events in play is to fail to appreciate the ideas they embody.

The hand that wields the USA like a puppet is also undermining its institutions and inciting dissension. Some may genuinely believe the New World Order as the solution to the disintegrating 'old world', but it dis-integrates as a result of the same mentality it presumes to rescue it with. Coercion is deceptive to its operator as well as to its subjects.

If Snowden is acting on behalf of hidden interests, it might be the desire to inhibit or deny the free flow of information through fear of every act being overseen by an all powerful dictatorship. It also unveils the 'coming out' of this power-politic from behind its presentations of freedom and democracy - which must then act more blatantly against its perceived 'threats', and thus polarize rejection and opposition to its 'notional interest' that has no basis in nationhood but only in those interests that use such terms as a mask for their own agenda.

Corporatism is associated with corruption and destruction that reaches globally, as well as making inroads into our minds and our biology. It's is an embodiment of ideas that are commonly held but running unchecked, as it effectively owns governments and media. The ego-centricity that is thus writ large is within us each and all, and I feel that we support and subscribe to such a world in choosing to use the same fearful mask-mentality as a 'self' that shares no real presence. Fear is not the only perspective available - but it wont believe this nor accept the way to be free to use it constructively - as a sense of alarm by which to uncover an illegitimacy or mis-alignment within our consciousness.

We are not the machine that Consciousness operates through, but are the Consciousness that made the mechanism within Itself. This is what we have forgotten. Opening to Consciousness is reclaiming natural authority - that lords it over no one nor hides from itself in self-specialness. Mind your own business - wholeheartedly. But to steal another's is to lose your own heart - and even the belief of having such embrace from within. Love's rejection is 'sold to us' in every kind of way. Why not tune into a different channel?

Consciousness, Neuroscience, Theory of Everything

49 minutes of science and self-awareness: Athene's Theory of Everything

A documentary presents new developments in neuroscience and a solution to the many current unsolved problems in physics. While it keeps clear of metaphysical correlations and is solely focused on scientifically verifiable data it also has philosophical repercussions pertaining to life, death and the origin of the universe.

This presents a neuro-scientific perspective on Consciousness. It compliments a neurosurgeon's testament after being in coma that had aspects of brain death - but not of consciousness.

I offered the comment below to the first mentioned video.

An abundance of recognizable consciousness reflection here, but a curious scientism-identity that then validates itself via uncovering the illusion or non existence of self - and yet describes psycho-physical processes in terms of such 'self' in order to create the reflection idea of Infinite Instant - as a point of view - although all point of view (experience) is such Instant.

The creation of infinite experience within such Instant, simply is... the reflective or 'self'-awareness - and contains within it all apparent limitations and distortions or modifications of itself.

Because there is nothing 'outside it' and no-when and no where - where it is not, it is the Source Condition of all names that cannot itself be named - and so is reflected in every name.

Creating experience as a rich reflection, is the giving/receiving communication within Consciousness that is the transcendent context of the extending consciousness as multiple nodes of creation.

The 'self' of such node is free to extend and reflect the lines of its own creation - but it may never leave its own Source Node of Infinite Consciousness. But any Idea conceivable can be experienced - including the idea of an exclusive or separate or private creation. But such experience is a filtered overlay of mind - of intention, thought, desire. The density and continuity of such experience uses an apparent contra force of action and reaction as a framework within which also to explore, uncover and reflect or share facets of All That Is to All That Is.

"Know Thyself", applies on any apparent level, for it is the 'motion' within timeless Instant whereby Existence Communicates Itself to Itself - the All in One and the One in All.

Giving/receiving is inescapable - all thought is creative at some level. But the surface thinking of the personality construct is simply forms of distortion filtering that masks and prisms Infinity or non-local synchronicity in focus of the self-segregating intent.

The shift to the reintegrating movement operates as a unifying presence rather than the attempt to unify around a point of coercive force or reaction.

All motivation is Universal - but the definition of self in relation to any relation determines the feeling and meaning and belief and action that follows. Such inherency places awakened responsibility as the heart of knowing true alignment. For each extension of Infinite Consciousness is unique and has its own core signature vibration. To align with one's core being is to resolve to joy, to move in, with and as the interest, engagement, excitement or enlivening appreciation of existence itself.

Much of the negative human conditioning is a conceptual misidentification as a result of exploring coercive will. The urge to control or understand in terms of private self interest is a vanity of a limited duration, because it cuts off awareness of source and overloads the mind with a task it is not designed nor capable of performing. The usurping of the creative impulse is a self-possessive loop that is no less self depleting and so, leads to the end-time or shift to Inclusive Perspective.

Whatever serves the reintegration within the resonance of the step being engaged, is naturally attracted. The attempt to control this process is part of the uncovering of such modality through its breakdown - despite and because of ingenuity.

Using mind to understand mind must always be free of self-seriousness and yet can serve the re-membering of presence as a participance and joy that extends qualities of unified existence or Life - rather than seek to get it or seek self-validation.

It isn't that core religion is wrong - but that the idea of separation of God and Consciousness, segregated a mind. A segregative mind MUST limit itself within a body of unconsciousness or Communication would dissolve the intent. The power to forget is inherent to creation and irrelevant to Infinity. Focusing within true-for-you-now alignment

is a simple self honesty/ Love the existence that is in truth loving you into existence and be the flow of choice that expresses and extends such value.

Rights, laws and authority

I am pleased to include the Daily Bell in my 'news' input. I am also pleased with the quality of the comments.

I feel that a true education is also an integrating process, whereas coercive indoctrinations or fear agendas tend to serve a segregating movement - and associated experience of disconnection in which coercion seems to be called upon to prevail or survive.

Around the issue of rights/laws: it is a law or innate to conscious existence that what you put out is what you get back. It does not SEEM that way because of the ingenious convolutions of our human consciousness - which became fundamentally un-conscious of its nature as Consciousness Itself due to the active putting out of the desire and belief in an independent, segregating self specialness. This motive is elitist in secret - for example in our engaging private judgemental thoughts of others as if we can stand over them and all else in power of judgement. It rarely has the sense of power whereby to come out in the open and execute its judgements at will - and so would seek to sow dissension and join in hate so as to serve a power agenda for its own imagined self-election.

The nature of consciousness; of the self and of the self in relation to both its Conscious existence and its awareness of other-self - as other individuals and as living Universe - is fundamental to all else. I feel that the global changes are of an order that is a shift in consciousness to a perspective that is much more aware-awake to the responsibility for our consciousness and to each other through that responsibility.

'Giving our power away' is not quite true, because it never really leaves us. We may not always be able to change the externals of a situation, but we can always change our perspective and thus our response - unless we 'give our power' to the definitions that lock us into a lack of perspective and an illegitimate sense of invalidity or powerlessness.

The habit of usurping Consciousness with mentality, is a choice that has become programmed, so as to believe the personality is oneself - when it is clearly a construct through which to experience and focus within the physical reality - or would be clear if not addictively identifying in its surrogate experience.

To become aware of such choice or coercive intent, that dictates rather than flows with, is prerequisite to choosing or flowing with a more integrated and fulfilling preference; of enlightened self-interest.

Give as you would receive - indicates that to give or live from a self honesty, allows the receiving of that perspective regardless of what the other does - and so can expand from programmed reaction to a heartfelt response or spontaneity - as a free willingness.

By what authority (by what right or under what authority of law) do I write this? None but that I feel moved to offer it - without claim or attachments as to the result. In claiming this through action, I have the clear basis to see the law as within the heart of everyone else and extend the right to others because I discovered it in myself.

There are innumerable negative (segregating and disconnecting or invalidating) self-beliefs in our human consciousness - such as to pronounce "the human condition" - and then seek to escape or rise above it. But it is a human conditioning that we can own and therefore choose or establish different expressions that are more congruent to what we are now feeling ourselves to be. Of course this seems like work or discipline or messy transformative and thus threatening experience to the determination to hide such conditioning, and so is put off until it is the only remaining option.

Thankyou for your attention. It is different, to articulate a perspective upon the human conditioning using language that was developed to engage and reinforce it. I feel a desire to find and share ways of articulating that release us from self-negative and conflicting identifications. I also recognize that beyond Existence Itself - of which nothing can be said but that It exists or is - all points of view are simply points of view and as such are equal to any other point of view excepting only that the experience it brings forth is either more truly aligning with the freedom to be your core nature or serves a dissonance whereby one 'forgets' who and what we are and operates from a false foundation that sets a fearful and therefore coercive patterning of thought and behaviour.

New Physics of Governance

Written into comments on "Iraq: The 'Liberation' Neocons Would Rather Forget" by Ron Paul.

- - -

Government has been a cash cow and revolving door for corporate intent for a long time now. Much is ideologically conditioned in either positive or negative terms in which corporate 'good 'or indeed greed and supremacy, is equated with 'American Way of Life' to be fought for or at least preferred to all the other evils that would limit and undermine such 'freedom'.

Most of the above mindset is relatively 'innocent' for it is unaware of the actively evil or purely loveless and deceptive mal-intent that is hidden beneath a false presentation of common interest. They know not what they do. But those who are consciously engaging in the lie, are in thrall to a law unto themselves, of fear that projects and propagates evil so as to draw power from the subjugation of others. While this has a 'satanic' aspect - it is nonetheless the mind-set upon a segregating and separating definition of itself in relation to all else - as the attempt to 'live' by deception. For all things ARE interconnected and of an inter-penetrating Universe - and the very notion of independence from the source and basis of life is a loveless exercise in wishful thinking - given great force of mental, emotional and physical commitment. This 'surge' achieves 'victimhood', which itself becomes a principal witness for disconnection from the true power of Life and compelling argument for the use of any means to secure the segregated self interest of that which 'survives'.

So the set or structure of our consciousness is patterned like the governments we are now suffering rather than being served by.

As long as we identify with the relatively innocent victim, we are subscribed to the realm of deceptive manipulations. To reclaim true governance is to bring the most profound self honesty to bear, that recognizes a coercive will, in ourselves or others, as a deceptive intent and is willing to question or challenge that, in order to uncover the actual agenda from a perspective free of coercion. This uncovers our fears and guilts - and their derivative fears - to our awareness. This is a personally transformative event, because what we took to be our self, is in a sense undone to a greater honesty in which we wake from a greater integrity - a reintegrated being, that has a basis for compassion in relation to that which knows not what it does. Yet is free of the coercive sentimentality of the victim mentality's appeals and suggestions.

Something of what I write here - in one form or another - is part of the new physics, because the consciousness that we identify as, defines and programs all that comes forth from it. Of course this can be readily understood in Religious terms, but I feel to embody a true willingness rather than appeal to a set of beliefs that are often woven into coercive identifications. Our relationship with true Consciousness is not socially defined but is an Intimacy of being that is necessarily or inherently 'secret' from the mentality of a self-presentation. This secrecy is not a withholding, but a true relationship, that the 'world' of our definitions, beliefs and reactions can cover over - but cannot destroy.

Within such an Intimacy of being is a true innocence - that takes not thought for itself - for it rises as a wellspring of true presence, not from a past made in anger. Witnesses to fear and deception are everywhere, but uncovering a true foundation in our consciousness is to learn to seek and find witnesses to the presence of love. Hate and fear simply cannot find these stepping stones or transitional communications of guidance and support.

Therefore 'end-times' are those where we each are obliged to put down our 'self' as we have ourselves made it up, and receive anew of our true being. Without this foundational shift are they indeed 'end' times. But "behold, I make all things new! Sayeth the Lord". Scientifically this is the revelation of the quantum discoveries. A rogue consciousness is an oxymoron, yet investment in it has all the power WE - as consciousness - give it.

Thankyou for your attention.

Materialism isn't stuff - it is what matters.

Guardian article: Materialism: a system that eats us from the inside out
Buying more stuff is associated with depression, anxiety and broken relationships. It is socially destructive and self-destructive






What 'matters' to you?
If your answer is living for the approval and acceptance of 'others', then this materializes for you.
If sharing the honest joy in your very existence with others who share it with you matters - then you materialize this.

For many, the substitution of our self for a mask occurs in childhood and becomes fixed in adolescence. With grace we outgrow that enough to regain a true sense of value in our relationships - rather than reactively defining ourselves externally.

The mask is a deception and entrances us to a world of deceptions. Its a kind of dark magic that can on the one hand make you invisible when you don't want to be 'exposed', or can so corrupt the mind as to make it a slave to the lust for power over one's life, over others, over Life.

Doing what you want is what the mask aspires to - but it doesn't want YOU to take it off! Doing what you truly want is a deep self-honesty.

Presence is lost to pretence. Why keep up the charade? Because the mind of the mask was made to escape a lovelessness it could not cope with - and reopening those fears is unthinkable. This is where a little love goes a long way.

How to get off the rat race? Presence not pretence. What really matters is what we choose to value. Regardless of the past this is a new moment because we have the power to choose what we value anew.

Why Are So Many Wealthy People Building Futuristic High Tech Security Bunkers?

Why Are So Many Wealthy People Building Futuristic High Tech Security Bunkers?

Bunker mentality is fearful. Fearful is withdrawal of presence and involvement, which invites fearful projection onto what one is no longer communicating with or part of. Which communicates as rejection, judgement and distrust to those who are excluded or rejected. Fear is a self-fulfilling prophecy. It also robs one of joy in life.

Trust has to start at home - within one's consciousness. Until the identification with external validations has failed or fallen away, the mind is driven to prevail and survive as a disconnected sense that unconsciously acts from the sense of lack or disconnect in the attempt to overcome it and become valid in its own right. The only trust in this mode is a faith in the 'evil' nature of others and the strategies to either control or seduce, defeat or ally with, in order to impose order. To such a mind, trust is a transaction. 'I love you as long as you meet my conditions'. Often with the veiled implication 'I will not reject or hurt you as long as you meet my conditions'.

The true basis of trust is of being unconditionally loved - because you exist. This is inconceivable within the mentality of a self-assertive wilfulness - that is always founded in some sense of lack; of being denied or bullied or hurt. Vengeance often underlies ambition; some sense of righting a wrong at a deeper level of one's psyche.

The transactions or rules for trust work for those who agree them within the conditions that support them. Life happens. Rules break. Some will hack into such rule-sets for their own private agenda. Nothing is what it seems. Anyone might turn into a threat at any time. Pre-emptive strikes kill the possibility of developing more than working trust within specific task-sets. Everyone becomes expendable. No wonder paranoia rises out of the bunker to call a mind into a reflection of what it has made of itself anyway.

Unconditional love is not on the bargaining table, nor the strategy rooms, has no market value and doesn't confer power. It is not an act of will but more an act of willingness. Everyone meets the world that reflects their vibrational state and the bottom line is we choose the world we live in, share and die in, regardless of conditions, by the consciousness we grow and share. The fruits of a sense of connection and communion with Life are not marketable, but offer the basis of just trade and commerce. Unless a fundamental honesty is trusted to bring forth sanity, then it is dis-honesty and insanity that are trusted, nurtured, propagated, suffered.

Fear drives the world... to distraction and destruction. So why not trust that there is a way to transform or use fear in an entirely different way than reacting from the belief its definition dictates. Look within consciousness to see what the mechanism is. The clever do this only so far as to gain leverage over others, and so they do not see anything but weapons of deception and shields of obfuscation. There's a great projection of the way fear works writ on the big screen of the world. We can learn about ourself from everything, if we are free from the spell of our own self-certainties. I enjoyed writing this. Trust the joy in life and let it lead you. Others will resonate with that integrity because they share it. Its a different basis - not a different power base.

Biocentrism opens a door in the mind?

Is there an afterlife? The science of biocentrism can prove there is, claims Professor Robert Lanza

***
(on insistence humans are unimportant)

If you are not important to your self - then you will extend that to others and to your world. Albeit with the insistence that it is important you are RIGHT about your assertion of unimportance!
You have proof in your own pudding! Every moment of your life. If you prefer to predicate your existence on externals, then you accept its definition of your being as you. Yet everything 'external' is already a cultural and personal construct of definitions in human consciousness. That is a self-conditioned loop.
The comfort that a self-dissonant mind seeks in the world may be pursued in science as much as in any other activity.
If coming back into your wholeness is realized to be easy, then anyone can be easily pleased. Words don't come into it unless they serve as a reminder to what one already knew but had not fully allowed in until now.
Science once sought to uncover truth. Have you given up? Or are you only seeking 'truths' that reinforce and confirm your consciousness definitions?

(on scorn and ridicule)

A similar sentiment can be found in those religiosity types who imagine Heaven to be the self-righteous 'joy' of looking down on the suffering of those they NEED to be wrong, in order to feel a heavenly 'justifiction.'
I suggest that whatever you believe will be given full rein and full support when you die - including experiencing nothing happening at all.
Whatever YOUR mind creates will last as long as you choose to persist in it, but as soon as it becomes clearly irrelevant or meaningless to YOU, you 'move beyond it.
The body falls away - I'm still here. Mind active in a much greater freedom!
Mind falls away - I'm still here. Soul active.
If your Soul exploration is complete - Soul falls away - I'm still here. Oneness. That doesn't mean stasis, it means Infinite Renewal.
Everything is very much more complex than that. Stories cant do more than stir latent perspectives.
What you choose to believe is your will on Earth. But there is more to you than the surface, whether you believe it or not.

(On being asked what consciousness was doing for billions of years before it appeared)

Human consciousness experiences time as if it is a product of the past. This is a peculiarity of the consciousness construct. 'Always' is not in time. Time is one potential experience of 'Always'.
Put it another way - that Infinity can experience itself in and through finite distortions of itself. Eternity can experience itself in time - indeed in any moment.
If you are serious in your interest as to how such a VASTNESS could possibly support YOUR existence, even as you read these words, then you are opening to that you are in fact Consciousness - rather than merely a programmed mental object 'suffering' imposition of forces VASTLY beyond its capacity to recognize let alone control. And yet the drive TO control is the very thing that disconnects the synchronicity of Consciousness. Thus the existential 'anxiety' is a deeper aspect of the human consciousness construct that is beneath the religious OR scientific superstructure.

Does consciousness exist in a body in a physical universe? Allegedly so, but there is no direct evidence for it. All experience is not only experienced within consciousness, but is the result of definition and perception that creates perspectives within which to identify partially. The idea of separated existence, demands an external 'otherness' Universe. The existence of which is scrutinized by scientists to uncover no actual 'stuff', but an energetic which responds to being 'seen'.
Everything is Consciousness - nothing is separately existing. Instead of the clever thinking of all the King's horses and all the King's men, one may simply yield to Consciousness so as to uncover a prior communication/communion. But as this does not embody nor reflect the coercive will of control and survival of the separate self sense - Consciousness is discarded and usurped in order to persist in terms of the current identifications of belief and desire.
But of course, one has not actually wrested control from Life Itself. One is simply exploring the nature and freedom of consciousness in expression. How anyone chooses to see/interpret Ultimate Reality is entirely a matter of choice, always. Home with God by NDW has some sentimental interferences - but is otherwise an excellent summary - if one is open to consider life and death in terms of Consciousness.

(on 'I am an evolved organism...')

Well if that is not a mental definition of a living consciousness - what is?
These definitions function like an eggshell. The sense of 'I' that is reflected from the shell is a conditioned mind - the conditioning is not the mind, but it is the 'reality experience that is being chosen. The belief that IT seems to be creating you (IE the evolutionary adaptation of life to its environment, is the basis of the physical sense, which is magnified and reinforced as the 'shell'.
I only mentioned anxiety - because you projected it on others. It takes one to know one. If you feel comforted by 'truth' but feel smug relative to comfort others find in what you call falsehood - then I suggest there is an opportunity to identify and integrate at a more unified perspective than is currently active - if you want it.
Scientific perspectives are useful but it is always wise to see what purposes they are being employed to serve. For egotism is 'legitimized' or 'sanctified' by crass Darwinian interpretations!

(on mistaking consciousness for 'your brain).

The brain is a receiver - not unlike a tv set.The self-special or egocentic sense believes it is the 'controller' and that it 'has' or 'is' a brain'. Science has shown this is nonsense. The processes of consciousness can be observed before ANY sense of personal volition rises as a thought of 'control'. So in many ways the ego-controller is in its virtual reality in which it dramatizes itself and oblivious for the most part of anything that is actually going on.

I don't use the term supernatural, but simply expand the term 'natural'.

The virtual reality of egocentric drama is a significant aspect of our human experience, but it is only a surface. Insisting that only surface definitions which confirm such an existence are real is simply 'playing the game of the personal sense' amidst physical reality. But physical reality itself is not at all what it seems - as science uncovers. While science limits itself to empirically verified current theory, it plays into the mindset that seeks to use it as leverage in the game of war and manipulation of the world and of others.

You biology - for example - will soon be the property of Corporate interests, as well as your use of the mind and the body.

The trick of the 'ego' is in possessing or enslaving its subjects by seducing them into believing they are free.

The old fashioned thinking is 'self-deception' and our modern idiom is of of unparalleled technological capacities to manipulate mind, biological processes and energy systems within the material realm.

My core message would be that we are consciousness itself - and as such ALWAYS have choice as to the perspectives within which we see. Only by recognizing what we ARE choosing can we choose in alignment with what we truly love. The refusal to love is the insistence that one has no choice and is compelled by victimhood to operate within a darkness of mind under a coercive will to 'survive and prevail'... only to be used and delivered to death by one means or another. One CAN choose this. But if for a moment one realized what one is actually choosing beneath the deceits of the mind - then one would NOT choose it, because it is a meaningless futility, set within justifictions of evasion.
By all means embrace scientific endeavour with a whole heart and enjoy your life! Because what you love is open to your involvement. If 'love' is not your word, use your word. Love of life is not a coercive clinging - but an expansive generosity!
I welcome more of such happiness in the world.

(on not being willing to consider life and death in terms of consciousness).

You are not conscious? If you don't care then the Universe reflects that. It is a reflection of a Non-Physical (Consciousness) that you are integral to or you would not (could not) exist.
There isn't REALLY an afterlife or before-life. Only an ALWAYS or Now-Life. Our notions are temporal perspectives to a consciousness that persists as identification within its own forms of limited focus.
You exist, The One is being all that you are and you are uniquely part of the One.
WhatEVER you give out, you get back - and so are free to think and focus and believe WHATEVER - without penalty, excepting that if you define yourself negatively, you create a negative hostile interpretation-experience of All That Is.
Everything changes apart from the above three facts. You will find the attempt to 'hold onto the changing' and exercise control over it, is more of a death than a life - in the sense of Conscious Recognition and Appreciation.
There is no escape from the 'Equation', nor is the idea of escape itself a meaningful proposition.The physical sense is in some ways like a virtual reality experience in which Consciousness seems subordinate to unconsciously defined parameters.
You have almost defined yourself out of your own existence, but the word almost, in this case means have not. You exist. As you define yourself, so you are experiencing. This may seem coercive upon you from your past, from the acts of others, from your 'genes', but it is chosen. There are other aspects to Consciousness than what we call 'conscious waking life'.

(On derision, and ridicule in place of discussion)

Thankyou for offering such clarification of your consciousness into this discussion.
Human consciousness is not necessarily conscious of its nature AS consciousness. It could be considered a sort of sleepwalking.
Life and death can be considered merely as functioning carbon units and non functioning units. You can choose to see life purely in terms of bio-robotics - and if it pleases you - why not?
That is only to demonstrate that your choices are creating the experience that you prefer of whatever is actually present TO experience.
This is no different before the event called birth nor after the event called death.
It is the nature of consciousness in action, because everything happens THROUGH you and not to you.
Because our choices can define and limit our options, we can in a sense give our power away to others, to institutions, governments, families, ideologies, belief systems. That which serves survival and prevailing over has its place - as does that which serves the joy of exploration and discovery. The first is part of anchoring and maintaining consciousness in the physical focus, and the second is of uncovering the more of what IS from the unique perspective that is you now. That is you now. The 'now' is an indicator of you as conscious - now and not merely reacting from a database of learned responses - or 'sleepwalking'.
Thankyou for sharing a blessing. I'll keep it. The attacks on the person are not deliverable to this address and so remain with you.

(On being accused of flowery language)

Not flowery at all!
Existence IS. What you make of it is YOUR choice. By your choices YOU create YOUR experience. You are the centre of YOUR Universe but not as you are currently choosing to identify in concept, image and symbol. That aspect is essentially unimportant because essence is beyond mental construct.
Anxiety is the energy of LIFE experienced through a filter of negative self-definition. Because energy is neutral to your CHOICE.
'It' does not create meaning - that is YOUR gift to share - which It supports. This is 'hard' fact because it strips to a stark existence. The 'mind' is a lens of conditioned definitions, the body is a magnifying device for such definitions as intend a 'physical existence'. One may choose to enjoy and explore such experience in whatever way we choose - including every kind of struggle and limitation. We can close 'our mind' but Consciousness remains Wide Open.

(on considering belief in God as an afterlife insurance)

If there is Divinity to what your life truly is - why wait until you see what you've missed so as to recognize you had it all along?
Believing in God is a very limiting category - to live the life that is alive in you to be lived is what will serve more than superstructural assertions upon variable definitions.
There is the believing that presents one's persona - and the believing that one acts out from in full confidence. Not many choose to release their personal identity and channel the life that then flows more clearly - but our lives often involve some degree of this process.
The consciousness we try to enact or assert in our life is often one that distorts, limits and blocks the clear and full communication and appreciation of life. Not least because of an exclusive and fearful identification with a physically derived and defined sense of self.
Bio-centrism may serve a reopening from the dark ages of psych-emotional tabboos as to the true nature of Consciousness - of which our own tiny version, is an expression.
So called sanity has demanded NOT to look at the foundations of our own self-definitions.
I suggest that the various strands of our planetary insanity are insoluble UNLESS we shift to a perspective that CAN and DOES observe our basic beliefs and definition from WITHIN Consciousness rather than as if it can only be dealt with empirically. This is transformational and this is part of what the taboo protects - because it fears the transformation to be invalidating of its investments.
If you were an 'oil magnate' would you welcome free energy? It applies no less on a personal level.
The investment in scarcity and control consciousness reflects as society, politics and industry.

***

(on being interpreted as equating consciousness in purely personal terms)

The term 'me' or 'you' is interchangeable to what Consciousness is. The implication I feel in your comment - of self specialness - is simply egocentricity. This is a vapid delusion whether expressing in 'scientific' or 'religious' clothes.
When one releases their involvement in egocenticity, they will see no war in such apparent divisions, nor seek to assert self righteousness.
The key is a shift in perspective from thinking, to knowing. You could call it a 'eureka moment.
Any apparent dilemma has a transcendent perspective from which new directions emerge.
The mentality that persists in dilemma as if to 'win', is simply an expression of a desire to remain in the devil it knows, rather than open to the unknown. Yet this futility actually serves to awaken a desire to grow beyond current limitations.

***

(on matter)

Perhaps what matters is the Mater or Matrix of one's consciousness.
I don't sense it minds what we think - but such focus is a selection and a rejection both.
Energetic relations of interpenetrating communications may appear material as a specific act of focus - and continuous to a persistent focus. But what actually is the substance of energetic relation?
And what is the activity of focus upon such relation that the relation occurs within - or else it could not be known?

***
Oh you could dig deeper than that if you were bothered.

Do you really believe that humankind has been stupid until you came along?

If you would understand other cultural expressions, you have to be humble enough to listen and learn.

But when you believe you are right and the natives are stupid savages, you attempt to stamp your own ideas upon everyone.

I quite agree with you that 'God' by whatever name or no name - is beyond definition, and so any concept we entertain will say more about our self than 'God'.

The god that we make in our own image is made in a coercive image. Be it Mosaic, or gene machine. But the God that embodies the actuality of existence - at whatever level of consciousness we perceive it - is not coercive upon us, in any degree, way, shape or form.

The mentality of the image of our self-definition FORBIDS or disallows God. It is literally as if a coercive intent can only 'live' from the 'death' of God. But coercive intent is not the true nature of our being  though it has been a dominant feature in our consciousness.

***
One does not have to wait to observe the nature of consciousness - and in any case the future never actually arrives - why? Because it is always your 'now' passing through time.

The mind can set up expectations and find them unmet - dis-appointed. But that is simply something else one can observe. One does not have to BE disappointed - one can simply notice the feeling reveals that an expectation-appointment was set up.

If what does unfold as experience is infinitely more than anything imaginable - then no one will tarry long in a mentality that has been rendered redundant.

A human consciousness at a surface level can flit amidst innumerable distractions and never know, simply because what it believes to know is always something past or something yet to come. Its mind is set to make a 'continuity' of whatever can be used to support its justifiction - and downplay or ignore whatever does not.

Consensus reality is a broad mutually agreed set of definitions, in the mind of each. It has never been static and is not in any way solid - yet it offers a framework within which certain life experiences can be accessed and explored.

We perhaps recognize that our consciousness changes - and perhaps presume to see that as being the pinnacle of a rational evolution over the childish and foolish past. But it is simply the ideas in reflection that are held as our core beliefs and definitions or what we are and what life is for.

Very few are obliged or allow themselves to stand naked in their own thought in life... until their death. Without mutual reinforcements and reflections, the true nature of one's consciousness is revealed undisguised. NOT to judgement - but to a truly revealing awareness.

***

It is true that if one is to speak of what cant be spoken, one still only has words to attempt it.

Everything is simultaneous and within that is the opportunity to experience sequentially - as a 'lifetime'.

The theory is just a theory. But if your consciousness expands, you too will be unable to articulate it in linear conceptual terms.

If you experience anything directly you can immediately see that you cannot actually define or articulate it either.

But you can also observe how what you define and believe colours your experience - indeed creates the context in which you experience.

I'm not familiar with Lanza or attached to his ideas - but consciousness is not actually objectifiable. Yet is inherent to any and every experience no matter how dumb-assed or how highly disciplined its thought.

I appreciate that one can only 'explore' or uncover the nature of consciousness by yielding to the movement in consciousness that is self-revealing. When the self-assertive consciousness relaxes or is still, inspiration occurs as a natural revelation - that is as a gift.

Anyone involved in creative endeavour has noticed this. Much of such gift is usurped by the persona level. It is true that we may struggle long and hard to come to a point of letting go - and then 'break through' - but that is simply because we define ourselves such as to not be able to accept a gift openly, freely and without struggle.
For how could we put our 'name' to it if we all knew it was gifted to share?

Manipulative intent exploits a conditioned inattentive mind

Naive Faith in Natural Medicine. A Dangerous Example of The Risk Perception Gap
Have you heard about the Echinacea that was actually ground-up Parthenium hysterophorus, an invasive exotic weed in Asia and Africa which doesn’t do much for a cold but causes serious skin rashes, problems breathing, and makes you fart? Or the St. John’s Wort that was actually a plant called Alexandrian senna, which does nothing for mild depression but works great, as a laxative. (What a drag. You’re still depressed AND you have the runs.)

(DNA tests of many natural remedies uncovered deception as to true ingredients)

Note: My first reading of this article missed its central point and the headline inferred to me that it was in some sense about natural remedies - which it is not. Poor choice of heading except to use provocation as an attractor? Naive faith in my first impression?
;-)
I've amended my comment!

The article is only using the example of deceptions that the recent DNA testing of some such remedies brought to light- and noting a lack of alarm or outrage as compared with the distrust and opposition to such hegemaniacs as Monsanto. I think my word-play indicates why I have a different reaction; I buy hardly any natural remedies (or any remedies) but understand Monsanto seeks to 'patent' or control biology in ways that are catastrophic in effect upon our world.

Cheating is cheating and has nothing to do with what one is cheating about to be deception. However, if the deception comes from an institution that is very powerful and pervasive in social or economic activity, then it is much more alarming than if some marginal business cuts their product with cheaper alternatives.



If there is a predisposition to trust or choose certain things then a deceptive intent will market to such prejudice and even use it to sell ideas and therefore products or services that would normally be seen as contra to the view that gave rise to the prejudice, before it was blindly adopted as a conditioned response.

The manipulation of perception is a dominant theme in ways the religious mind couldn't imagine - because it sells the idea of freedom by setting up the hoops that the population will jump through for you - at whatever cost to their wellbeing, their culture and community and their environment or planet. But this cost will awaken and the awakening will lead to the transcendence of the mind - because no one will trust it as a source of their own thinking. It does however make a good servant.

So it is a wake up call to realize that trust is not something to simply give away without discernment. If we give our power away, it will be taken by something or someone else that may not be attuned to our best interests.



Integrity is an honesty of self that knows itself enough to become aware and responsible for its own perceptions and acts. Merely good intentions do not substitute for our true presence and so in such sense we are no less deceptive in our mind than those who meet us in a manipulative 'entente cordial'.





I am of the sense that we allow healing to be - in the way and the manner that represents our particular 'permission slip' - based on our core beliefs and self definitions. The belief that healing is not possible is endemic in modern materialistic Soul-lessness and so mechanical interventions that manage have replaced the belief and experience of healing.



My points all point to Consciousness; of the totality of the being - which is not only the mind of belief and definition and their emotional and physical resonances - but the aspects of consciousness that are lumped as 'unconscious'.

Our reality as generally believed is a highly specific and narrow focus within facets of Consciousness that are reflected from the experience of our physical senses - as if that is the source of all information and therefore definition , of what we actually are.

While naturally growing remedies may be ill-advised or mis-diagnosed, any course of action can be undertaken as an attempt to evade responsibility, block the life force in its movement to heal or correct and prop up a negative self definition that is itself the 'disease'.

It is only a derivative of this to lean into a manipulative farming of such lack of discernment for personal gain without honour.


We need to have faith in our Selves in a truly honest sense and in the life that - one can say - Lives us! This then extends to our freely imaginative engagement in whatever methodologies serve the feeling-sense of that Life in our moment of living - that is - to abide and choose the joyful and be open to new ways of such fulfilment in our uncovering and experiencing and sharing of our life.

Thankyou

Consciousness is what is changing - hence EVERYTHING is changing

An article: Typhoon Haiyan: there is worse to come - led into the idea of Climate change.


Now I cannot say I know whether Climate change is significantly influenced by human behaviour. Nor do I know if the weather is influenced by mass consciousness - for the relationship between Consciousness and Experience has not really been allowed into anything except quantum physics yet, though Seth and many others point to a deeper Cosmology than materialism. Nor can I say I know much about HAARP (look it up) and its effects on weather - whether intended or unintended. It's all secret. Secrets and lies.

What I do know is that human consciousness has a manipulative aspect upon itself such as to seek to attempt to control any aspect of Life it can get a handle on - including perceptions or minds of others - and is riddled with deep guilt for exactly that reason - as the religious archetype shows, and which resurfaces in a climate change guilt-driven agenda.
How to know where to get information from when science is so heavily distorted by its marriage with corporatocracy - the new church and state. The dog that fetches the wrong stick is made into dogmeat! Survival of the fitting in?

I feel to discern the coercive intent - or lack thereof - as a guide to the underlying intent. Truths can be used to deceive after all, and fictions can be used to reveal the truth. Truth is in the heart and mind as one and is uncoercive upon you.

Science without a heart is like a mechanical heartless mind. It can execute 'logical' programs without any actual connection to anyone or anything - including those who at the top of the pyramid, who are abused and hollowed out by such mentality amidst seductions of power. Is it not so, after the 'rush' wears off?

In my heart, I feel that Consciousness is what is changing - hence EVERYTHING is changing. We each choose to unify our consciousness or to be fitted to a machine. But we cannot BE a machine because choice is our most fundamental nature as consciousness of existence.
