Confusion, grudge and forgiveness

Let it go? Not likely – there’s nothing wrong with holding a grudge

Jennifer Aniston might be preaching forgiveness, but keeping a healthy distance from people who have caused hurt seems perfectly reasonable

Confusion of identity leads to confusion of communication and relationship.

True forgiveness is not a gift to another - but to oneself.

Of course this will extend to others a different version of 'you'.

To love yourself is to let not the past come between you and true appreciation of the Life that both are and share. This may be a process of regaining clarity and releasing baggage, but it supports a discernment of who and where you are in relation to whatever is going on that knows how to be and where to be and NOT be.

A lack of love always seeks to justify itself to others and itself. You do not need a grudge to prefer not to associate with that which does not resonate your true being. Nor is a preference a rejection when you allow the other to be in their own unfolding choices - even if they are not yours.

Political correctness operates a tyranny of rational superficiality - so does 'spiritual correctness'. Rationality divorced from a unified heart and mind is un-Reason and stems FROM grievance. It is hardly the tool to effect your coming back into and appreciation of wholeness.

Listening in the heart is not a superficial insistence of conflicted thinking. Grievance shouts as loud as our willingness to attend it. We can learn a lot about our mind from the events that trigger us to reaction - so as to be more consciously on purpose and less the victim of circumstance.

The sense of personal control does not want to listen to this. But in a greater music a true harmony emerges from playing one's own part truly. This is not coercively appreciated! Be true to you first - and then look out and see others. Otherwise you use what you choose to see in others as the excuse to not live your own life! That is a call for self-forgiveness - or releasing unwanted baggage. Don't put your baggage onto everyone else or you'll 'hate' them all and feel justified, all the while hating yourself unknowing.

Beheading the masculine Denying the feminine

 THis was written into comments for
Allen Jones: The model of misogyny? - which is about an artist whose theme is to focus on images of women in exaggerated or extreme renderings of male fantasy objectification. But the page I wanted to comment into allowed no comment - and that was about the weirdness of a 'beheading' video. So this comment identifies a common underlying thread of manipulative provocation that asserts a distorted perception  and reaction.

- - -

The intent to provoke can serve different agenda. If one wants to provoke horror and outrage so as to manipulate perception, one can - but as others become wise to it one loses all credibility.

In Mass media there is great temptation to use shock tactic to coerce attention and trigger reaction so as to incept a mind-set.

Perhaps the definition of a sucker is someone who WANTS to believe something that is not true.

However, the outcome of anything is determined not by the apparent provocateur, but by the beholder.

Making a god out of qualities of the feminine is a reversal of recognising God in the innocent and intimate appreciation of such qualities.

Parodying a false god can awaken THAT it is a fantasy given power. Once seen, would you not rather open a real relationship? Perhaps the false god will make all your relations drab, tawdry and ugly. This is the nature of focussing on form as the result of withholding your love.

Beheading the mind from the heart leads to disconnected and fragmented fears glossed over with glitter and lipstick.

Denying the feminine castrates the masculine from any real capacity to extend presence and so it pretends power.

Poverty of Spirit and obscene inequality

The subject of wealth distribution and the politics of our way of organising our affairs:
This article on an editorial, "Why Are We So Obsessed With Everyone Else's Wealth?"

My comment:

Lets all blame it on the symptoms!
"God is dead - there are ONLY symptoms!"
"Symptoms lock us into a war that we cannot opt out of!"
"You are the problem - I hate you. No, you are the problem - I hate you and your hate proves I am right".

Many at the Daily Bell know that a significant aspect of problem is actually the assertion of 'answers' that really perpetuate the problem in disguise and are not answers at all - but are traded AS IF they were. They 'redistribute problem'.

A true accounting must remove falsely framed agendas and assertions so as to simply know.
Thinking about and opinion-asserting is grabbing at straws.
The idea that truth is ours to determine gives rise to a personal or private mind, and agenda
If such 'power' then consolidates so as to Lord it over a world it effectively dictates - why would we be surprised?
But without its game of power such 'lord' is nothing. Nothing at all.
What is it that pays tribute unto this dark 'lord'
but fear's displacement.

Thank the reflection for revealing a truth that it neither frames nor imagines.
Even if that such is to recognize what has no belonging in a unified purpose and so none in me.
We invest and trade and identify in a currency of ideas. This but reflects 'downstream' as the world such identity establishes.
Until the whole thing is brought to account, there can only be the desperation of positions within a fear of loss.
Upstream is the consciousness at template level that operates in secret and guile only because of what it is being used FOR.
Upstream of that is the Creative - which the ingenious denies in seeking self-specialness without consequence.
No one in their right mind seeks self-specialness.
Wrong-mindedness may become the norm here, but it will never become love. Hence it MUST deny love to seem bearable.

Power-envy operates the manufacture of grievance.
Who has ears, let them hear!

On the same page was a comment by GF:

Wealth Redistribution is almost as pernicious and destructive as Monopoly Central Banking. Both should be eliminated from the human lexicon, and relegated to the dustbin of history, where they belong. Yeah, I know, fat chance. : )

I reply:

Isn't the attempt to eliminate the way we KEEP things rather than release them? History does shoe remarkable persistence in repeating itself - albeit in ever more complex forms. But I like the idea of redefining everything clearly so that coercion is coercion is coercion no matter which 'side' of the fence it appears to be on - or how much justifiction it generates from its polar opposite.
History can mean what is not here now unless we choose to repeat it by reacting as if it is here. It can also mean the coercive narrative of a justification for wielding power at expense of living presence.
The coercive mentality makes its own version of 'directed history'.
By the way if the 'banking system' COULD be made a transparent and fully accountable service - such that no sleeves existed to hide false cards, no table to hide signal under and no loopholes that could be exploited to corrupt its service - what kind of system would it be?
And if wealth distribution was a movement of free will rather than of pernicious withholding via artificially imposed scarcities and reflected patterns of value shared.
The deceiver works both ends of the market, or the conflict, by interjecting a false framework onto a communication breakdown. I feel a world of difference between siding with freedom rather than 'fighting for it' for all wars are in a sense 'the banker's wars' although the corruption in the template is not IN the symbol that reflects it - nor the scapegoat offered up to relieve it from exposure.
But healing our mind DOES mean being more and more aware and responsible for our currency and usage of thought and word and therefore of the deeds that effect automatically from the only level that can be truly changed - for coercing behaviours is not freedom no matter what is 'eliminated' thereby. Reclaiming power must begin with recognizing and owning our part in a deception regardless 'who seemed to start it'. Merely operating a grievance aims victimhood at whoever and whatever the conditioning dictates as 'enemy'. I'm not suggesting there are not strong feelings associated with our sense of grievance, but they do not mean that the self-definition that gives rise to them is the whole truth.
History is also a perception and all perception is selective. One can perceive from a sense of lack and grievance or from a sense of wholeness. Many find great self-forgiveness approaching death and become illuminated by a tangible peace. I am not suggesting we put off today until tomorrow - but that we are not LOCKED into perspectives but by our own pride - along with a lifetime's conditioning to operate 'command and control' or else feel failure and powerlessness.
The microcosm is the portal to the Macrocosm. But one can indulge a sense of powerlessness so as to no longer feel obliged to live the capacity that one does have to embody and communicate a better way of living than fearful greed and shameful envy.
When everyone chooses NOT to choose their own integrity, the 'market' is wide open to corruption. Waiting to see if others will change first or justifying the status quo because 'what difference would it make if I changed' IS the investment in the status  quo - at the level of measuring everything primarily in terms of the sense of personal loss or gain that y/our history sets as the available options.
Though I include you in reply here I am of course addressing a wider attention and not focussing on you personally. That thinking makes it so is forgot in the wish that our thoughts be true. A disconnected thinking costs the mind an extraordinary overhead in defence and of course leads via bedlam to a prodigal wasteland.

Locked into war?

Tech firms need to fight jihadist material online says David Cameron

UK prime minister unveils joint initiative with Australia to ensure that internet does not become “an ungoverned space”

This article is buried in a misleading headline, for what it actually reports of Mr Cameron's plans goes far beyond tech firms being compelled to censor the Net.

- - -
 
 “If we are to bust the myths that stand in the way of the great new trade and investment deals now before us".

The "we" and the "us" surely refers to what might be colloquially called gangster elitists and the rest are "busted".

The tempter suggests with isistence (oops! that was a slip of the fingers) - that "the country" - well, most of the globe really -  is being locked into "an idealogical war" from which opting out will be denied - IF of course we do no opt out while the trap is not fully set.

I'm quite willing to accept that otherwise honourable and loveable people can be conditioned or in some sense subverted and corrupted by insider dealings that seem to make sense in the forms they are framed.

But how far can a mind stretch in knowingly speaking out the sense-less because some alternative scenario insists that to not do so is worse?

Un-owned fear is the 'cause' of projected hatred.
Of course one acts to side WITH freedom - even if we are clumsy or imperfect in so doing. But to FIGHT for freedom is to make war the only freedom.

No one can give what they do no have. A greater perspective will not come from the fear-driven, and a blindness of self-agenda will not serve excepting to demonstrate a lack of wholeness of mind - the alarm of which serves to awaken the NEED for Perspective - unless it is used to perpetuate war.

Double-speak - double-think is the ideology of a split mind - regardless of its flag or label. Ideology is dead - long live the king of negatively defined ideology. We now have none of our own and have to import it from opposing IS.

The negatively defined self IS the root problem. All split polarities feed each other to mutually reinforce identities that otherwise disintegrate.

This kind of thinking has been engaged, employed and developed for a long time. If it is not disengaged from operating in our own minds we will be baited into reactive futility. My invitation is to pause in the idea that one is not locked into personal reaction, but can pause our own 'thinking in its liability to doublespeak us falsely, and allow perspective in which we feel connected not with energy of self righteous vindication, but with a core sense of value that MUST extend and include others - even if they suffer thought disordered estrangement from such value in themselves.

Mad or delusional identity takes any form of multiple personalities to assert a coercive agenda. In desperation it becomes more obviously deranged and dangerous. But the answer to danger is a true accounting and this the moneylenders in the template will not allow. So look to the altar of your own devotions and dedications in life and see that all is facing in one unified purpose - for if not, your dial is set to another channel and doublespeak is all that will be heard. It really is a matter of choice - and not coercion - but to know that one has to step out of the framework of a coercive deception. This goes far beyond the particulars of the political shenanigans - yet is contained within it and within all that likewise teaches fear as its power and protector and its god.
Fear must be faced within a true accounting for a grounded and true perspective to emerge. Proxy parents who seek to make children in their own image" deny the very power of living in exchange for delusions of power that evaporate as quickly as they arise. They also become intolerably burdened with controlling what is completely beyond control. Life is not coercion. But we are free to choose to give our power away to that which then gives back in the same measure we give out.  True governance must serve the whole - not the notional security of the undue influence of a private agenda which cares nothing whatsoever for aught but itself and sacrifices its own as easily. This indeed is 'locked in' and cannot or dare not even imagine escape.

The ancients said 'as above, so below' speaking originally of the Creative that we might call 'within' but not within our framework of thinking. But a within from which one can observe the thoughts that otherwise deceive. The politics of our world will reflect the politics of our consciousness and our true freedom is not to rearrange the political furniture but to embrace a communication within our own being in which coercion is put aside. For the two are mutually exclusive. If truth is the first casualty of war - then no less is war is the first casualty of truth. If it is not a war - then it is a belief in war being played out by deception. The idea of deception is not a new one - but the height of folly is to presume the deceiver left our mind when we decided we were rational beings. Reason is a sanity of heart and mind as one. A truly joyful and extending presence does not need to define truth, but shares it wordlessly and can listen to people of every kind of tongue. 

Mind Machines

Mind Machines

Is it possible that the human mind is a radically different thing from a computer?
Debates a panel of participants at http://iai.tv


Everything in our times is converging to promote the awakening of consciousness to its devices and deceptions.
Differentiate the usage of the idea of Mind Itself, from the idea of  Individuality of expression that is a Soul Consciousness, and differentiate such a Unified and equally non-local integrality of wholeness from the idea of a self-segregating definition of separate or independent consciousness. Whereas the mind denoted capital M Mind is 'God' and the Extension of such Indivisibility is 'Sonship' or Creation - these are not within the time and space framework of consciousness as we generally believe and experience it to be. The Non Local is All pervading. Our local perspective and experience has in effect been designed to forget or cover over our Eternal or Universal cognition as an unfolding framework of experience and consciousness within the Universal Movement of Being within Consciousness that operates "Know Thyself" or Self-Reflective EXPERIENCE within Infinite reflective play of possibility and probability arising from unique expressions of Being that is likewise Creative but does not create Itself.
The generating of a feedback of physical experience of the Movement of Being is one of innumerable facets, but at its foundation is an intentional device of inducing a divisive and polarised binary blocking template through which the communication of Wholeness is experienced as  split off or fragment Mind. The seemingly split mind associates its mind almost exclusively as residing within a body, as a differentiating protective mechanism, and grows a persona to integrate and consolidate a fragmenting and fragmented 'split mind' as an experience of continuity and some stability amidst an equally fragmented and chaotic 'world' of others, of forces and events that are unrecognized and therefore in which the self seeks to survive, exploit, and prevail over.
The disintegration of inevitable failure to integrate the un-integratable is reflected in discoveries and insights that bring paradigm shifts. The discovery of the mechanism of the manifest Universe includes the programmed or conditioned personality structure and its corresponding  patterning and pathways as the totality of the body mind expression.
So there is an aspect of our consciousness that is in a sense designed as a communication device through which to explore and share in a physical experience... a separation experience - but that flips to become a re-wakening experience.
The communication between the Non-physical non-local Mind and the personality structure is  re-opening even as the intensity of the segregative 'divide and rule' mentality seems to rise to dominance.
Letting the Light back in that was never really absent - but was in a sense mapped out of awareness or mapped into a disguise.
Until the Light is welcomed and Recognized, the incoming insight and discovery will feed the control mentality with destructive and degrading effect. The overlap of machine and brain is already in play but Higher Mind or the truly Creative is not a machine or a process in linear terms of cause and effect for it IS Cause/Effect as One Totality and can never be other that because there is no other. The sense of otherness is the self-differentiation that derives experience of what one is - which is never definitive or conclusive excepting its qualities and laws are always present whatever other local 'laws' are derived from them.
The elephant in this room is the so called self that thinks it thinks alone and apart and therefore is and has the power to assert itself upon the whole from such an imaginary point of view.
Mechanism in service to Life is invisible - like a well played instrument. Mechanism operating coercively upon Life is opaque and ultimately renders Life as a joyless and meaningless experience of loss and conflict stuffed into an ever smaller box until it is a coffin. The Wizard of Ox seemed to enjoy his Big Identity - but was as lost and powerless as everyone else when the curtain was undrawn.
A mechanism of itself cannot accept a decision but can replicate certain aspects of a previous decision or programmed set of conditions. It only has a rear-view mirror of what its database holds as already happened to interpret what is actually happening according to the rules of its programming. BUT nothing truly is without or apart from Consciousness and Consciousness with a C is Creator to all that it Knows as All That Is.
The interface between physical and non physical is not as absolute and ultimate as materialism wishes were true. Nor is it a personally coercive imposition or interference as religionists wish true. The true resolving of the split mind and its chaotic reflection is in a unified appreciation arising from an abandonment of the core mechanism of victimhood, powerlessness and the striving of an identity based on lack to overcome its intimately self inflicted predicament.
The Creative choice between mechanism as power over or mechanism as vehicle to communicate and experience through is at THAT foundational level. The exposing of a false sense of power is the portal to choosing ONLY what we Are. Each experiences and comes to accept or delay this Creative Freedom in their own way. The mistaken belief that rationality and technology are already creative freedom is the least able to see or hear because it wants to USURP Life and render it in its own image.
There are facets that play a vital role in certain processes but if they replicate out of context, they become antagonistic or even parasitical upon the whole and in ways that can subvert the defences that should check and contain it, to operate in reverse.
When a house cannot stand - go to the foundations and check the template - clear out anything from the temple that does not belong and embody integrity in all that comes hence.

The self is a construct of the collective!

An evolution article:
Why Richard Dawkins is no scientist, the survival of the least selfish, and what ants can tell us about humans


The 'self' idea is a construct of definitions,and beliefs that generate feelings, thoughts and perceptions, from which proceed actions and behaviours and conditionings.
Clearly, and observably, foundational self-definitions are imagined and accepted or created in consciousness - but this is not equivalent to the 'definition' of a personal or private 'consciousness' which in our current human template operates AS IF it is a thinker that thinks alone and apart from all else.
In antiquity there were mythic models of a world on the back of a tortoise. In modernity the world seems so much more 'realistic' yet the framework within which which it is perceived and manipulated is no more substantial than an imagined tortoise.
There is no self but Self (for want of a word for the All in All). There is no self as is presumed and asserted and supported with emotional force and intentional identification. But there IS a belief/definition 'self' that has all the currency of its mutual acceptance but only the value of what it fulfils as consciousness experience.
The mechanism of the delivery of experience within consciousness can be explored AS experience, but to do so is to differentiate from the indivisible in order to experience a point of view. But there is NEVER a separation in FACT from the experience observed. It is provided to the desire because it is part of the desire. The desire that has dominated and driven scientific exploration in the main is an expression of a 'disconnected urge to define, control and prevail over Life Itself. And as such is clearly insane to anything but its own self-conditioned blindness.
The cutting off of consciousness from its true nature is a device of dissociation and denial well known to those who would use psychology for the manipulation of other minds rather than heal their own and others. But it operates a splitting off of dissociated 'conscious' personae within a negatively or fearfully determined and segregated self-sense.
The nature of a deception operates defensively against its own exposure by invalidating all else in such wise as to seem associated with the power of it god - from which it derives authority. The god of the separating self sense is the idea of asserting coercive power upon life - but beneath this 'power' is a self that defines itself in victim-hood and thus in hurt, fear and anger. The halt lead the blind. Nothing will come of a fearful foundation but fuel for fear.
The idea of self can be reintegrated to its true nature and consciousness. This is not determined and controlled but yielded to and accepted INSTEAD of yielding to the god of fear. AND in a true willingness for Life, our Arts and Sciences will uncover a wealth of INTEGRATED inspiration in all that it explores to experience in shared reality instead of seeking to manipulate as dictated by private agenda.
WE ARE all already cooperating to maintain a culture of lovelessness, because we are not actually separate from Consciousness and must TEACH what we define and accept ourselves to be. WHAT we teach depends on what we choose to learn. Definitions operate invisibly until you want to check in with what is really going on right here and now where 'reality' is presumed to be. Now are you opening to a truth that you do not make - because that which observes definitions is not defined by them. Just because one can follow thinking, doesn't mean one has to. Aligning with true joy and passion is not a fear-based compulsion. Fear OF consciousness is scientism's shadow. True Science seeks to know the truth - not just the filtered truths that can fuel a fearfully derived agenda.

One commenter offerred this to the article:

Use of the word "selfless" here undermines the argument. Selfless suggests a conscious choice (and therefore ability) to go against ones needs or instinct. In the case of the ants, they have no such ability, so it is not selfless.

- - -
They don't demonstrate it on our timeframe - nor in ways that our human 'self' template can recognize. Species-ality focuses in its own explorations yet they reflect something to us that we take as 'collective' consciousness and that is something we tend to disregard in focussing in what we call individual consciousness. All facets operate consciousness - but we do not stand alone and apart to judge excepting we presume our independent ego to be god and believe our own spin.

Is not what we call 'conscious choice' but a virtual layer over what is actually happening anyway?Have you met any truly 'conscious' self that can choose to go against its needs or instinct - or is it a distorting layer of mind that redefines needs and the 'self' that it is, so as to then automatically 'choose' according to the defined template. In this sense our 'self' is a persona or mask upon what we actually ARE - that makes a model of the world in which to play out its illusory power. Putting such 'self' aside - that is - noticing it is not YOU, allows the undistorted integrity of a true existence to shine through. While the 'power' to be what you are not (against yourself) is your choice, all choice is but a mechanism of conditioned reaction.
But the first choice remains yours to change, regardless the layers of experience and definition that constitute the human conditioning.

Noticing the mask and releasing the persona

The Ghosts of Fall

Identifying in the mask or extending Identity through a transparency of mask:

One can live as if one is the persona and defend and develop the persona as a strategy of persona self interest. This is also called ego-centric.How we choose to define ourselves and the definitions we inherit or imbibe without much sense of choice or basis for choice at the time all make up our personality construct of definitions, feelings, beliefs and thoughts, perceptions and actions and learnings or conditioning therefrom.
Jesus gave no time to Hypocrites (actors in Greek), because there was nothing actually being extended or communicated to communicate with BUT an assertive mask, but in a larger attention would use the event to illustrate and awaken true hearing or recognition in those who were free enough of the mask to let anything in.
The shift to an embracing consciousness perspective tends to come from the collapse or disintegration of the mask - which is also associated in many with more desperate attempt to assert it - as if it is one's true identity.
The mask is ALREADY a kind of virtual reality overlay to actual energetic which is sort of relegated to 'unconsciousness of disregard' whilst playing oneself in story. Mindfulness offers a way to notice more of what is actually here - not merely outside but our perceptual and emotional and definitional ideas.
The mask is essentially a strategy of coping with fear of self conflicted or painful experience. Fear operates to obscure the felt qualities of Life, it asserts itself in forms of dissociative identity.
What is it we fear but to be unmasked. In order to protect against this every strategy will be employed. Fear of evil operates itself as an inner mask to protect that which it forbids you look upon. Yet to look at this fear without seeing through its own beliefs is to recognize that it was love all along that was so fearful or rather" what we have made of love and believed true.
Fear can be used to mask and to hide in and to keep apart from. It can also be used to unmask and realign to true self.

This next bit did not fit the character limit… but here it is:

So if the world at times reflects the fear of coercive and deceptive assertions, propaganda and failure to relate or communicate or even see or address what is going on, then use that to uncover one's own participation.
Who knows not the assertion of mask over true relation can throw the first drone.
To see another AS ourself is to relinquish the voice of the lampshade and see through to the light. beware of the urge that 'loves' to hate - for that is the hiding of what we do not want to own. But no one can change what first they do not own   and persisting in war is the worship of the mask that denies knowing and being known truly.

A Capital idea - What!

Capitalism is under scrutiny - whatever it actually is - due not least to the financial system becoming clearly associated with a scam and a shadow power beneath mere appearances of governance.
This page brought the subject up. I simply wrote from where I feel to stand in what the idea brings up for me.

Capitalism: defending one's investment in getting more for less?
Capitalism: extending a tangible worth by growing it.

I feel everything in the world of a polarised and alloyed mentality can serve dual purpose. Nothing has but the meaning and purpose you give it. A split mind attempts to mix mutually contradictory purpose and loses all sense of foundation amidst its own convoluted spin. In believing its own spin dresses up in cleverness or pomp but has no real presence - as coercive and deceptive strategies reveal obvious.

In a 'seller's market' which is where a sense of lack, scarcity or insecurity is bought into or believed true in the terms framed, one can sell ideas that seem to answer the lack in the short term, yet capture and disconnect the sucker from their true nature, sustenance and wits.

The drive to sell to get operates the cultivation and herding of marketshare, mindshare.
Pyramid schemes pattern energy in consolidating tyrannous hierarchies.
After a while it is accepted as the human condition.
Of consciousness and society.

But Maslow's pyramid is upside down and inside out.
EVERYTHING extends its foundation and NOTHING can be unlike its foundation.
Once a split minded and devious thinking could be sold in exchange for promise of power and protection, a false foundation HAD to subvert every natural impulse to the mentality of a polarised struggle for survival. Because a lie HAS to struggle in asserting itself to survive AGAINST all that would expose it.

Everyone protects their investments. But to invest in a lie is to identify falsely.
Identity theft is the market of scammers. All trying to sucker each other or shifting alliances that sucker another, or protect against being suckered by others. Maybe wake up to find we are all suckers to identity theft.

So drawn into the drama of the game that few pause long enough to discern what they are truly doing and why. It runs like a template. There are moneylenders in the template who would interpose between a natural need being fulfilled so as to usurp the relational unfolding of growing trust and uncovering true synchronicity through extending communication.

The 'coercive will' operates primarily through insinuating and propagating definitions that frame everything in its own image. It owns the mind in which one thinks - until the identity theft is uncovered.

In a system where all aspects of it reinforce all other aspects of itself there is no real alternative but from a different foundation - only redistributions of assemblages in complex ... but increasing hollow... presentations.
What is the foundation? Is it not the lie that sets everything else up as a means to prevent and deny its own exposure?
The last or indeed the never thing one would meet or allow to be?
Yet is that not exactly what is being revealed on our Big Screen of a world; our foundation exposed? - and its inevitable results or consequences.
There is a true foundation to our existence. I don't ask you to believe it and certainly not to think or define it. But its re-cognition to awareness occurs exactly where a lie is seen as a lie, a wish as a wish, a story as a story. Because in that instant one is no longer identified within its frame. Now you can 'believe' and live out from that which Is you - beneath all that seemed real before.

Regardless of whatism, extending a tangible worth by growing it, operates in conscious alignment with Life-Purpose.

Recognizing what one is NOT is part of more truly knowing who you ARE. When the foundation shifts - all else shifts with it. Integrating and accepting may lag - but everything has changed without anything 'external' having to change.

Needs met, has been so materially defined as to deny the need of our own consciousness for a manually managed mechanical imposition upon us by powers set above communicability.
So one aspect of need that I put forward is for consciousness responsibility - for what passes as conscious is a conditioned reaction. Foundations are not ideas to impose - but qualities to make manifest - to give witness to.
Without the old foundational belief - the template crumbles. We have to 're-learn' how to live, relate, communicate. How to recognize and release a falsely identified investment and focus wholly on that which really embodies the Life as each is inspired or enthused and amused to pursue. Is that more frightening than Armageddon? If so, at least one understands why humanity self-destructs.

The lie is dependent on the truth it 'denies'

I wrote the following, after reading the posting shown below mine: (It addresses the way a lie can subvert and usurp a truth so as to reverse them in its own asserted beliefs and definitions).

- - -

A lie, to succeed must graft onto truth. No one fakes an 11 dollar bill.
Mind-control is the foundation of - the wish for - the father of ... the lie.
It starts at home, an inside job running as a false flag...

Mind is One - but a fragmented vision is legion. How this 'operates' is by asserted deception. Minds then seem each a body. How many look to their foundations? Few indeed, for the deceiver is not really 'out there' or somewhere else.

Because a negative or separating and segregating mentality can usurp the knowing in the heart, bait the mind in reaction, and convince the fearful that it speaks power, that it speaks of protection, that it speaks for you, then it can serve as a sort of template for human experience in which divide and rule operates always to subvert and usurp the original nature.

Christ is not an ideology - and it's 'religion' is universal recognition. Christianity operates a cover over the Christ-light - but only for those who want to persist with what their own thinking tells the eyes and ears to report.

The thirst for truth is not the thirst for power over. Each has its own 'world' and both are in our mind until we see through to the powerlessness of a lie to share, to know or be truly known, to give and receive, to truly have and to be. A world made in our image with no room for the unique creator signature that actually IS every one and every thing - is a dead concept, a stone god, a false idol.

It isn't that there are not inspirational reflections to intuitive knowing in the teachings - but that only the need for truth can discern them, whilst the fearful MUST seek, and MUST sacrifice or crucify joy in the power that shame of powerlessness demands.
The lie would make a shameful nakedness of powerlessness, to hide in the figments of a deceiving and convoluted mind. But truth merely accepts and allows the movement of being to rise as a connected and unified power - yet power OVER nothing and no one - because power over is LOSS of wholeness. This is incomprehensible to a fragmented thinking that thinks it thinks alone.

Not arguing with your political perspective. Consolidation of power operates as a negative or segregating and divisive agenda of a separate self interest. It has personification in various movements, events and individuals, but is also like a frequency channel that one feeds by tuning into it. It's perspective upon itself is self-justification - but who, resting in the truth of their love need justify or explain anything?

In a split mind projected world is both Caesar and Innate Being (aka God/Creation).
The mind of Caesar cannot SEE anything but materialism and the politics of power though it can USE any kind of belief as a leverage for its OWN agenda.
The unified mind cannot see separation - though it can utilize all such beliefs to teach there IS none.
There is NO communication between the two - but both share the same mind in mutually exclusive perspectives.
To invest in a lie and hold it true will lose the capacity to tell one from the other - thus truth is redefined as whatever can be asserted and witnessed as effect. Though insane, such a mind is highly disciplined in defending against exposure, and rules by terror yet disguises in seeming kindness. The more one fights it the stronger it gets, for it is the idea OF conflict.
Love your enemy as your self - not as a strategy, but as abandonment of a secret worship of 'holy hatred'.
Where else would we hide the hatred we disown and deny to our awareness but on the 'other' - who instead of sharing Life are deserving the withholding of Life from?

Christ is also an idea that strengthens by sharing. Not the cult of a special and separate blood sacrifice. Not the appeal of guilt or emasculation of true presence. But a living idea cannot be packaged and bottled and sold. It can only be recognized, welcomed accepted and shared.

As a rule of thumb, if coercion is using the forms of something true, it is at best an alloy and at worst a scam.
As an absolute truth, all truths await the acceptance of your own heart's discernment as to their belonging in and AS the true of You. That which is 'written in your heart' is already present but for uncovering, recognition and acceptance.
These things too have always been known. But knowing is set aside for the experience of an unfolding drama of self in mutual definitions of a world of separate and competing interests. Until its call stirs our attention.

Strangely, Mr. Machan neglects Nietzsche is this treatment of morality, a topic touched on in every one of his works. Nietzsche showed Kant's ethics to be an idiocy, but here there is no mention.

And regarding Christianity, Macan would do well to study Nietzsche's criticisms of it - Christian asceticism is ALWAYS a vice.

But for something that Nietzsche did not know - or did not find out until very late (a possible reason for the malaise of the last ten years of his life) - I recommend everyone on the DB to read Joseph Atwill - you can at least watch the video, its less than an hour.

Here's the Cliff's Notes version if you simply don't have time:
Jewish unrest in 60's CE
Romans destroy Jerusalem 70 CE
Romans start new imperial cult ~80 CE and write parody books, set in Judea ~30s CE (aka the New Testament)
Christianity starts in Rome, not Israel; first saint is a cousin to the emperor.
Jews allowed to start new Rabbinical School in Lebanon - Romans approve teachings, Messianic Judaism is stamped out, Rabbinical Roman Judaism is born and the Imperial Cult is grafted onto Jewish history, making Rome's history just as deep as the Jewish one.

To know the reach of the Empire known as Leviathan - look no further than the reach of Christianity. And yes, the Queen knows this already, but she was never going to tell you. Neither would her son. Nor his son. Nor his son. You think little Georgie will learn Christian ethics at Eton??? Ha!

This was in comments section of this page (if you want a gist of context for commenter 'B').

Update:
'B' replied to me thus:

Lots of lies seem to do well with nary an iota of truth. The rest of your post is incomprehensible to me, though I seem to recognize the tell tale language signs of Scientology in it.

A lie has no foundation in truth - apart from that it is untrue. But to operate in place of truth it must appear true and mingle in and or mask the true.
To the desire that a lie be true - truth itself is incomprehensible.
Such is the power or capacity to make yourself in your own image and forget that you truly are.
I don't have anything to do with cultish pyramid schemes that set up hierarchies of control and dependence.
But if the forms of the true, become associated with the coercions of deceit, then truth will not communicate through such vocabulary.
One of my points to your summary of the Christian subversion is exactly that; such subversion is the driven purpose of the corrupting lie. To make of something simply revealing, into something false and concealing - and therefore also something then to be opposed and rejected instead of embraced.
In all things we meet but our self truly... or amiss. But true intimacy shares a perspective that is not coercive one upon another. This quality of life is not likely to be believed by one who has been long in the dark of a coercively conditioned mind. But that there IS a quality of relationship available and potential to us that is not coercive is something I feel to witness and invite.
No one comes BETWEEN you and the Life that lives you excepting the wish to control it. THAT is the realm in which the game of powers operates. But it is not the only way to play Life.

Maybe the hand in the puppet regime doesn't want anyone commanding who shows hesitancy or inhibition in using weapons against their own population and construct any excuse to replace such faulty items with loyal dependable fully conditioned units.

The odd thing is this is thinkable in our current milieu. That a shadow power can infiltrate, subvert and usurp its host and thus operate through what had once operated under the guise of a national sovereignty.

A shadow power is that which operates to coerce and deceive in exerting power OVER life - and is inherently a 'death cult' for that is the power we give death in absence of a full recognition and acceptance of the power OF Life.

However 'blame' is distributed or assigned, however 'hate' is focused and directed, humanity does this unto itself of its own thinking, of its own choice as to being OF Life or OVER Life. The shadow is not in itself real, but in hosting it, we give it our reality and our power and it gives us a delusion of being a power, apart from Life, in and of our self. It hollows out and discards and destroys its host - for such is the nature of the lie.

The father of the lie is that which 'wants' it to be true, that finds some meaning or validation or justifiction for itself that it wants to keep instead of welcoming truth.
In truth we  each and all ARE the power that can withdraw allegiance from that which is insane, meaningless, and invalidating to all Sanity of integrated Meaning.
We have 'loved' flirting with power - even unto the ends of the Earth, as if it resides in a separate persona or even a separate god. But none can operate alone and apart for the basis for the ability to blame and hate and destroy is nurtured in every mind thinking it thinks alone.

Let the dead bury the dead - for such thinking is dead. Attend the Living. It's not so far from you but thinking makes its so. Are you under orders to believe your thinking?
The power to deny an intimate appreciation of power to share is a very strange use of the mind. Whatever the choice was to spell it out and entrance ourselves, is it what we choose Now?

An insane thinking is Legion - of multiple personae in perpetual war. Abandon the persona-gods and address the thinking from where You Are - from Life.
Listen in. Don't feed the troll! - let ONLY the truly meaningful 'go forth and multiply'. Don't be baited to reaction. Don't be surprised that such a pattern is deeply conditioned and takes a persistent commitment to self-worth.
Everyone is worthy of love's awareness, no matter what. Beware the mind that 'loves' to hate, for fear of love is a master of disguise. It demands sacrifice of Everything and delivers nothingness dressed in dreams that fade to misery in a prodigal pain of isolation and utter humiliation. Isn't it better to KNOW one is mistaken?

Reality Distortion Field

On FT.com reading some comments - which are often more insightful than the article was a conversation regarding those who are perceived to have instigated the financial errors of crash or post crash failure to regain confidence and growth.

X: "this could be just a dangerous modelling mirage"
Well said - the equilibrium that exists here is the relationship between central banking hubris and unforeseen consequences.

Y: "unforeseen consequences." for who?  Pretty sure Mr Greenspan is happily retired and so will Janet, Kurodo, Ben etc.

X: Indeed they will have a secure financial retirement. However their egos will not retire - they will re-locate to the Re-writing of History Department. Mr Greenspan is already distancing himself from the lineage he spawned.

Y: Doubt they will feel much behind their own reality distortion field.

A reality distortion field operates to redefine reality so as to 'feel' better (self-validating assertion). Mutually defined fields operate in multi layered complexity of constantly shifting parameters which by design are ultimately un-understandable excepting to recognize this is understanding.
The overlay and insertion of coercive distorting 'dynamics' generates ever more subtle and complex 'lies' to protect from exposure of lack of true foundation.
True foundation has no need, desire or call to mask itself or reality. Though some seem closer or further from the Emperor, all are complicit in fear of their own bastardy or lack of Author-ity, whether puffing up or aligning in obeisance to the puffed up.
The voice of the perspective of an innocent curiosity shares not this fear but gives of a natural authority without side, edge, grievance or agenda; "But look, the Emperor is naked". THIS is the point at which the injected lie of a fearful self-doubting which was given the Emperor's vanity for self-specialness - can be itself invalidated as a true framework for choice to operate within or outfrom.
In a similar story (the Fall) the denouement operates as the prompting "And who told you you were naked?". Reality distortion field can also be known as personae - plural because we each make a version for everyone we meet.
Enquiring of our own self definitions to illuminate our own fig-leaved shields and maskings allows a perspective of a fresh take. Not to fix down a better basis for 'reality control' but to yield back into a sanity from which a vanity and carelessness of thought baited and entranced our investment. Everyone protects their investment - but if one invests in what CANNOT bear true fruit, there is every reason to re-evaluate what we are investing and why.
Materialism at best seeks to manipulate definitions - but will not expose its own.
On the other hand, the pain of a living lie calls out to be released.
Negotiating with the 'face' that thinks it faces out alone must embrace the validity of its experience enough to establish a channel of communication. But that does not mean to share the beliefs that ARE the reality distortion field.
Communication breakdown is the nature of a fundamental self-doubt. Operating outfrom attempts to manufacture self cannot share in the power to inspire or effect real change. It can only persist in delaying the inevitable... dawning in the mind of what was always present but denied currency of acceptance. Living outfrom a unified and unifying perspective appreciates that which appreciates instead of giving love (one's investment of identification, energy and attention) to the fear of loss.
To go forth and multiply fear of loss is to in-debt ourselves to that which hides and distorts our true presence. The win-lose mind is an either/or dilemma. A fight/flight life/death switching focus. The both/and mind is an embrace, not a rejection, and can seek and negotiate and find win/win outcomes.
By all means continue to manipulate and generate complex devices by which to prop up a model that simply is not fit for purpose. Unto Caesar as is due - but let the heart's discernment unfold the new.

From Eternity to here

Reality is.
Existence has one quality - which Is. Also phrased "I Am".
There is no defining appendage to the "I Am" apart from "I Am That I Am".

No conceptual or symbolic differentiation is possible to the Indivisibility of "Is".
Any image of symbol or idea operates the extension and reflection of experience
"I am That I Will be" is not a time reference. Will is Creator. Cause and effect are One.

The One Is the All; the All Are the One.
Who knows the effect/part/son, knows the cause/whole/father.

Indivisibility of giving and receiving is the instant of experiencing existence.
Inclusion embraces all that is given. There is no loss or gap in "I Am".

Experience is the Movement of Being as an ever shifting focus and perspective with an infinitely rich communion/communication. Every facet of every movement is a unique perspective within the whole and a gift to the all of the all as experience of 'Know Thyself'. Experience reveals Existence in ever new appreciations.

Creation Creates only of Itself - there Is nothing else. The idea of creating UN-like itself is part of the freedom of infinite imagination to forget in order to remember. The idea of separating self can be played without loss. The idea of self-image can be played within an embracing wholeness of both/and. While the mind within the self-definition operates either/or. The experience of the separate self sense conditions the identity to a temporal spatial reference that crystallises or solidifies through assertive persistence which then operates as a seeming disconnection from the embracing wholeness of ones Existence.

Imprinted catastrophic trauma, perpetuated over millennia, gives rise to adaptations of a disconnected self-sense operating an inversion of creative expression. Cause is projected onto 'external', to other, and to past, and power is asserted in denying, defending against, and exploiting or subverting such a world to the agenda of a disconnected sense of lack seeking fulfilment externally.

The 'lie' of separation operates in secret minds kept apart from true communication by mutual agreement of definitions that protect fear, division and perceived power as the fragment to be saved from loss and the self-concept to 'become' real or powerful or accepted in its own terms and in its own right.

The model of the world becomes in a sense a contractual substitute for an intimacy such that each operates alone to get for themselves, or join in shifting and temporary alliance to get for themselves and to gain by another's loss.

All the abilities of the separate self sense actually become a consciousness capable of unified action - and though it knows not, the Unified Self never left or it would not exist. Beneath the range of the 'private mind' of command and control, Life abides and operates un-conscious. But as the structure of the consciousness ripens or opens, so is the unifying will rising into the conscious awareness - but interpreted within the terms of its dream of separated identity that it then transforms to reintegrate the wholeness of indivisible and true individuality.

All abilities developed for a fearful agenda become transmuted to a reintegrating purpose - including those which is uncovered in the subconscious or 'hidden mind' as well as the unconscious or denied and discarded mind.

So a contract can be a form of deception wherein a separative power can operate in competing or even cooperating interests.
And a contract can be a good fence maintained and honoured between good neighbours who share the idea of just and honourable exchange of energy and worth-ship within a greater appreciation of Life-Energy and Love-Worthiness. That is, the contract reflects a Covenant of a self-honesty to one's own unified will, as it arises of the movement of being, as the revealing of Existence unto Itself - as human relation.

Most of what passes as currency of religion is no less the realm of author and identity confusion than any other aspect of living and probably more so because the forms of spiritual revelation or cultural inspiration are those within which fear based power seeks to hide in and use to justify itself in, and thus degrades, and subverts to a fearful coercive agenda.

Organized religion is oxymoron - for true 'religion' embodies an unselfconscious and spontaneous intimacy, whose presence communicates to all of a like reception - without any sense of separated self strategy whatsoever.
The key or fundamental issue is what foundation is being operated out from. The disconnected sense has to generate a justifiction for its existence - for it has no actual existence apart from the wish it be true. The wish does not truly create - but does distort and deny true awareness. It has all the power one gives it. This is often confused with the will to survive - but it is really the will to prevail over.

The rage of wish denied ravages our world through every kind of perceived and imagined grievance. Contracts to limit power operate the minds of the 'service to others' polarity and agendas to consolidate power operate the minds of 'service to self' polarity. Both operate a polarity framework that denies Unified or Integrated and Inclusive Self.

Perpetual war is the 'religion' of hating love, so as to love and protect fear and make it seem fair by projecting hatred onto others whose vilification calls forth the sucking of power from the Innocent. For the guilt belongs entirely in the mind that projects. All that is given is received as it is given and no amount of tricksy clever thinking can do more than temporarily obscure the truth of one's choosing and gifting. Our experience IS our gift of knowing and sharing Existence.
