Freedom to communicate is not a weapon

Charlie Hebdo Shooting: Maori Broadcaster Derek Fox Under Fire For Victim-Blaming Comments on Paris Terror Attacks

Freedom to blame, to invalidate, attack and undermine other people - in the name of 'freedom'?

Hatred born of fear and guilt can take many disguises. None of them are free to love. Love is free to create - but deceit can only work to deny, distort and destroy. Who wants to be outraged and offended or use proxies for their grievance, will seek and find the basis for justifying hate and attack - on some level. Is there not a fanaticism that denies and subverts all communication in the name of 'freedom' - and it works every side of every conflict. For it makes the darkness in which to operate and grow in power unnoticed.

The deceiver is for many an archaic term for an agenda that operates destructively, largely by remaining hidden or in disguise. In any potential event of undoing by exposure it will sacrifice 'others' by scape-goating them as evil, worthless and heretical or insane. It offers 'righteous vengeance' to cover over the evil one fears in oneself.

In a world where false flags have been historically shown to be normally part of a war of manipulating perceptions to trigger predictable reaction, one is wise to look and see what agendas ARE being pushed. The 'war on terror' propagates terror. It increase darkness against light of true understanding.

When Jesus said "Resist ye not evil" he taught a fundamental creative responsibility - for what one focus on and feeds attention to, magnifies.

Murder is murder. Incitement or provocation to hate may be foolhardy but doesn't call for or warrant murder. But those who believe they are aggrieved, will believe it the basis for vengeance in one form or another - and hatred is not a sane perspective.

Is Derek Fox embodying freedom of speech? Are those who vilify him trying to shut down his right to free speech? In such confusions as are our world, we un-mindfully react and compound them. Fear is not a true foundation from which to live. It steals our joy in life and ravages our world. Seek a true foundation!



Gary Carkeek  reacted thusly:

The fact that Fox was able to make his comments is proof he (and we) are allowed to - we have freedom of speech. Evaluating another's words is also freedom of speech, and being disgusted by it is not and attempt to 'shut down' that right. Do you honestly not get that?
To Gary I say:
Communication is - as far as I am concerned - an exchange within a relationship. The use of communication as a weapon of coercion or manipulation operates to deny relationship and communication under the 'name' of some appeal for an ideal such as 'freedom' or under the appeal of self-righteousness in opposing something tarred as 'disgusting'.
Manipulated consciousness is in many ways, the current world order, and works by guile and deceit such as to deny its own exposure. Personal or collective emotionality is not holy, but it is a point of leverage for manipulators.
Vilification is an attempt to deny or invalidate another. Can you not address the issue without attacking the person? All choices have consequences. The idea of acting without consequence is a false idea of freedom. What we give out sets the measure of what we get back. If you believe emotionally backed coercions will free you, you will believe in their reality when they rebound.

So much miscommunication arises from holding completely irreconcilable self definitions, from which irreconcilable notions of freedom extend automatically. If one is 'allowed' a freedom, is it then innate or true? Who 'allows'? Who or what is the power that chooses to allow or disallow freedom? Is it that which consolidates through fear? Can reacting fearfully truly express freedom? Is not fear's dictum, 'divide and rule'?

Emotionality is not holy - but a true capacity to feel is innate to our Soul and our sanity. Tokenism may posit its 'proofs'. I suggest that 'political correctness' gives rise to fear of vilification that is actively undermining our willingness to communicate and relate, but merely reacting against it only feeds its appetite. War breeds war. War is the condition in which light cannot enter, truth is denied and persona agenda indulged as if THAT is freedom.

Freedom to assert what one is NOT at the expense of what we truly are, is the insanity of
human-un-kind. To uncover this in part IS disgusting in ourselves and so most will seek to get rid of it by whatever means asap. True sanity cannot be founded on running away from what we hate and fear in ourselves in attempt to put it out upon the other and attack them so as to aggressively disown our own part. But this pattern is a collective human defence mechanism that operates destructively in our midst. It generates and feeds war and woe.

Also please notice the comments you reacted to were questions inviting consideration and not assertions imposing themselves on the reader. You missed the very next sentence after the one you misread.

" In such confusions as are our world, we un-mindfully react and compound them".

Are you free to evaluate or is that already sold out to a defensive reflex? I do not mean this to demean you - but as a moment of noticing how easy it is to react to what isn't there - but which the mind believes is there. This is the direction of enquiry that uncovers opportunity for healing and unifying in place of polarized insanity.

Hijacking scepticism

Hijacking of Scepticism to Subvert Critical Thinking
In response to a comment-article on wakingtimes.


Deceit is the assertion of who you are not – as if it is who you are.
It can use any role or appearance including questioning as if it meant to communicate. Some operate within the mask of respectability and others lack not audacity.

Questioning that operates a hidden agenda of statement – is indeed propaganda. True questioning extends true relationship.

To keep the mind open is to at least be willing to consider the possibility that what one thinks or currently believes, may not be true, so as to listen to or consider new information.

Cynicism and gullibility are two poles of self certainty that operate a racket by which an apparent difference maintains a dynamic of changing relationships or ‘struggle’.

However a truly open mind is undefended to knowing – because it is willing to accept it does not know. Knowing is a wholeness of being in which there is no conflict. It is a unified alignment of who and what you truly are – from which to live – not as an authority over your own consciousness – nor of others or the world. But as an embodiment of wholeness.

The mind of hidden secret agenda first points out and away from itself to OTHERS – so as to be relatively less burdened with the consequence of conflicted mind or fear and guilt. Having projected it AWAY, it is then operating as if it were a private separate power upon Life, operating through its characters and script.

Why do we always presume evil intent is in the minds of those who withhold or hide in deceits? Is it because we believe we know ourselves the same? Do we try to excommunicate or deny that part of ourself in ways that often, generally or always give it power in the dark instead of healing it in light?

The first mistake was not the error of false thinking. false thinking evaporates to have never been. It was the attempt to hide the error from God (Light) in order to persist in it while trying to correct ourselves alone.

What else is this but to say we all choose to ‘play in the dark of a mind that covers over its connectedness with self-justified hate?

Beware the assignment of evil to anything alive – even if others allow themselves to be used by fearful and coercive agenda of hidden personal terror.

“Resist ye not evil” said Jesus – who knows that what you focus upon, give attention to, and share in, is what you feed, multiply and become.

Obviously he was not passive with regard to the confusions or attempts to confuse that he met in (his br)others EXCEPT to choose not to escape from or dally within the projected hate and denial of those who felt threatened by what he reflected in them.

He actively put deceit and deception behind him and when meeting the schemes of fear driven trickery, was able to speak from a true presence of mind instead of being baited into personal reaction.

The crucifixion of true Innocence of being is a pattern in our consciousness that we re-enact by sacrificing our own connected joy-in-being and denying and projecting the fact in assertion of victim-hood or powerlessness and grievance seeking vengeance.

The world CANNOT and WILL not hear this for it depends on this dark secret to seem to persist as coercive and conflicted personae on a dark stage.

But You who are the joy in being CAN hear this and let it shift you to see a world of a different foundation than one electing to persist in denial, guilt and fear – and all the progeny thereof.

To think one can really change without uprooting the false is to secretly serve to propagate another crop of tares.

I referred to Jesus as an example – not as an appeal to ‘higher authority’. It is the discernment of one’s own heart that must test any and everything – including what information or guidances to accept or trust.

Coercive intent is the telltale of a hidden agenda. It operates all sides of every apparent conflict to cover over true relation and communication. It does so as your ‘protector’ while you dally in darkness that cannot abide in light.

Turn to light and true protection by giving ONLY as you would in love receive. That is – by pausing from reaction and checking in at the heart in silence of one’s own assertions – so as not to be taken in by what you have truly recognized as something you do not want and does not belong to you.

True governance is uncovered within an inner integrity of being. Unless we live FROM that, we merely enact the shadow roles for fear to persist in feeling validated and thus persist in denying its own redefinition to serve a wholeness of being.

Branded slaves?

Can someone please turn Russell Brand off? Headlines a personal comment 'article' by Gareth Platt in the IBT

If we really want to turn someone 'off' we give our attention elsewhere - or if it is simply a behaviour and reaction in ourself we want to change - we can perhaps engage a process of communication within ourself and perhaps with the other.

The idea of turning off what one doesn't want and turning on what one does is properly the job of making conscious choices from a connected sense of true being and not a reactive attempt to validate or escape a sense of being fearfully or falsely defined.

Anyway - here's what I wrote in the comment box :

No one can or ever will, represent me - but me. However, in EVERY one I meet I may find facets, attributes of idea and behaviour that resonate with me both positively and negatively, and I may choose to use either of these to obtain a positive result by the purpose I accept and use them for.

The subjection of communication to  'correctness' or vilification and invalidation, operates a 'war' of denial upon communication. The basis of this 'war' is called lie, propaganda, deceit, vanity, arrogance - do you get what I am saying? That Communication of a true nature is a complete kit - for everything true will manifest from it and only a the assertion, allegiance and identification with un-truth can interject the confusion and division of a personal war to determine truth as power to invalidate others.

But truth that can be used as a weapon in hate and fear is not true - regardless its original source and context. The 'devil' quotes Scripture. Our minds at the persona level are masks within a game of powers that goes nowhere in self destructive vanities and arrogances.

The nature of the personae becomes the screen of diversion from the actual issues being met, faced or suffered.

So it is perhaps ironic that Mr Brand - what an apt name! - is branding himself as a spokesperson for speaking out against the unnacceptable facade that is progressively mind-manipulated and 'normalised' by establishment media, politicians and corporate and financial vested interests. Accepting the unacceptable is an exercise in displacement or mind-splitting. No matter how ingeniously the mind personifies itself in order to project and redistribute fear and guilt, such only operates a false basis truly experienced.

Focussing on the personal is choosing to keep the problem hidden and largely redefined and diversioned. Focussing on the underlying issue always identifies definition and belief in consciousness that is out of true. Holding this in the light of awareness INSTEAD of using it for personal attack or self or other invalidation of blame or shame DOES open a shifted perspective - a more UNIFIED and communicating perspective - a less 'split off' and wilful or unwilling defendedness. And so I recomend it.

Our society has branded its mind into mindshare under obeisance to a mind-manipulative 'power' to get. Be it consumer or corporation - the operative to get operates the propaganda of lovelessness or disconnected attemp to 'get' life from others instead of growing and sharing in the Life That Is.

Using what is wrong with externals or others to assert a self-righteousness asserts a hidden anti-Life agenda of deceit, vanity and arrogance that always becomes the very thing it hates - for that has driven it all along.

Branded slaves lose the power to speak or even think along any lines but those their master imprints upon them. Letting Mr Brand iconify freedom of speech and thought may herd a significant mindshare into a managed resistance that can be turned to whatever use the masters want. But resonating with freedom of speech within one's own heart and mind can and does uncover a true basis from which to extend a presence of communication that does not play into the mind-games of attempting to be or accepting role of the master of another - even for apparently good causes.

"For though the rules of the road have been lodged, it's only people's games, you gotta dodge" Sang Bob Dylan. But actually it is one's OWN that one has to identify and align or drop. Wherever information comes from that is relevant and resonant to who and what you truly are - pay attention. It is for you.

Power of Life; power of lie

The term power - like any other true quality of life, has developed substitute definitions for its true nature. But each of us is the power of our will - which correctly appreciated operates co-creatively and not coercively. We are vulnerable to the experience of the Idea we want to be more true than truth! Those who steal must fear theft. Who think they steal power will be robbed of all - how could it be otherwise? - for one never truly has it and when the supports for the illusion of personal power are nothing-ed - what stands there?

A lie hidden but believed has the temporary capacity to hide the true. It also serves a role of darkness through which to awaken to what is hidden and choose truly - that is, to align with a true joy in being rather than a sacrificial mode of coercion. The unsubscribing or dissociation of the fearful is best achieved in the embracing of the new - or what IS alive and inspiring and exciting to unfold out of life lived rather than ideas imposed. Another aspect of true power is timing. If one has to push an agenda - of course it will push back. What is communication? It is power. How so? Because by it are all things known and apart from it nothing is. Worshipping the power of nothing is simply the belief that by denying distorting and limiting communication, we can get something specially for our self alone. Tis a scam sir!

In discussion with:

    "The power of the mind is partly recognized by manipulators - but they don't realize it costs them their true power to use it thus". (quoting me)

Such then though, moving things along and on to a higher intelligence plane and level of greater competence, would actually prove that manipulators do not fully realise the power of the mind … and are catastrophically vulnerable to the thoughts and actions of those who do, and can utilise it in a fashion which is unprecedented and novel and not at all bad and practically and virtually impossible to be thought unacceptable.

    You are clearly willing to step off the edge of such worldview so as to expand the model - but at some point one needs to go native and release the 'command and control' mentality altogether.

Going native to subvert/pervert/divert/correct/replace a corrupt and easily compromised [cracked and hacked] command and control mentality/system is another dynamic option which a few would find extremely attractive and most exciting, binra. To replace it with what, is something best left for now a mystery, methinks, lest it be thought something of grave concern to be opposed and fought against, as is the usual response to radical fundamental change of an intellectually challenged system/executive administration.

Corporate and scientific responsibility

"Boffins debunk magnetic field cancer link"



In the 1972 book 'pure white and deadly' John Rudkin blew the whistle on sugar. A scientist's career was curtailed as a result. (look it up).
So although it may be true that genuine science is being carried out and fully reported, the mere fact of billion dollar markets makes it likely that some of what is reported is as true as the scientific reports on tobacco were when it was first challenged as a health risk.

BIG money equals significant risk of corruption - doesn't it?
As well as this there is a vast userbase of wifi technologists who enjoys the facility and have become dependent on it in large degree who have an emotional investment in not wanting there to be any issues affecting them unless unequivocally linked. Of course there are adverse effects but these are not from the emf but from privacy, lifestyle and cultural effects.

Pervasive beliefs that technology brings harmful results have greeted most of not all new developments. Isn't that at the root of climate fear? Often the imagined harms are just that, and become laughed at, but the actual costs are of a different kind. One such is that we put more and more of our eggs into one basket - that is to say we become addictively dependent on external systems in ways that actually make humanity redundant - perhaps quite literally- as well as inviting power and wealth to consolidate in the way HG Wells foresaw in his Time Machine.

Fear often works as a self fulfilling prophecy. In a world of many pervasive hazards, one has to feel for the level of risk. Science as reported is not trustworthy - one still has to operate discernment unless one WANTS to outsource all intelligence to externally shifting paradigms. I've always distrusted margarine as industrial effluent and embraced butter as something humanity has been eating for millennia - although modern methods add all sorts of new hazards with anti-biotic drugs and gm crops to cattle - and maybe most of us with a healthy functioning immune system.... oh those few of us whose system hasn't turned against itself...can simply rebalance and detoxify as our natural resilience.

In principle science is the willingnesss and desire to dis-cover truth - which is already true by the way. It only focusses on the empirically material - which does not have a hope of embracing truth as far as I am aware of true - but that doesn't mean it isn't a useful tool - especially if it could be used for truly Cooperative Good instead of weaponizing, monetizing and medicalising Life to serve private agendas, in attempt to define, predict and control it.

Human consciousness is not absent from scientists - nor is is 'controlled' by them either.
Research into Electrical Universal paradigms is not encouraged - since Tesla and others. Perhaps maintaining scarcity is an essential aspect to controlling a system. Perhaps the weaponry of such technology is far too dangerous for what is after all an insane humanity suffering delusions of rationality.

I can postulate a future where the brain is found to be adversely affected in subtle but definite ways that increase and amplify an already sense of disconnected mentality that then presumes to need to control everything because it has lost all empathetic resonance of compassion and communication, with Life, itself and others, and so for those who are still allowed to have such faculty, a tin-hat will be designed to shield the brain.
I would rather imagine a future where life lived and shared in more intimate creative endeavour simply doesn't template such disconnect - and thus doesn't require all the kings horses and all the kings men to try to put it all together again.

Free willing Integrity

Beyond Good and Evil II: Is morality instinctual?

Integrity is innate because Life is a Unified Expression. The assertion of identity upon Life is a device within consciousness of coercive intent. This coercive identity is the use of free willingness for the purpose of a personal agenda that then presumes itself to be free to act of do as a power unto itself - excepting it is now experiencing a struggle in a world of powers in place of membership within a present remembrance of true power - which is not coercive upon itself nor rejecting itself in a fragmented mind of conscious and unconscious and collective and personal.

Moral action is congruency of thought word and deed. This is integrity. This is true presence extended. The attempt to make moral codes and apply them and enforce them is the mask or presentation of a personal agenda or capacity that one does not actually have. It is simply the use of guile in guilting with fear to affect behaviors and appearances.

Morality is NOT codifiable. The attempt to exclude God is to exclude the Living quality of our presence in true communication, in exchange for a world as we define and accept it to be. This IS conflict within our being and must result in fear, guilt, and division by which the mind seems to have split off as a 'rationality' of 'control' and emotionality seems to have split of as shifting feelings. In fact the Mind is Whole regardless the definitions of identity in struggle, the feelings and thinking, the perceptions and action/reaction of personal and relational struggle and pain. The helpful part of iai.tv is a willingness to think outside the orthodoxies - but THINKING itself is such an orthodoxy - and the arrogance of ignorance presumes that ITS thinking is the apex or crown of human achievement - nay - of Life Itself! - but it is all noise to the Signal until its Purpose is changed.

Purpose is foundation. All things express and persist their foundation. The mentality of 'divide and rule' is all sleight of mind, in which what one thinks to be true is experienced as if it were so, and what is actually true is rendered 'unconscious' or obscure.

Existence forbids nothing, embraces everything. Their is no limit to what you can imagine but what you accept as true for you will define you and while it does you limit your focus through it.

Consciousness is One Universal within and yet embracing all local or particular expressions of uniqueness as Its Own Knowing. Whatever you give out (as a result of what you choose to accept) is what you get back (experience). Everything changes excepting the above three unalterable facts.

The perspective of the embodiment in a physical reality is already a complex result of a template of definitions. Existence Experiences Itself through all of it - but to remember your own freedom and joy in existence is to align truly within it. Not to coerce others or the world to align to YOUR model reality. Coercion is the device by which integrity is lost sight of. Following imaginations of what you do NOT want keeps you in fear and struggle and sacrifices joy.

I offer this as reflection not to persuade anyone of anything they do not want to know or don't already know. Clever thinking made our world of absurd and tragic complexity. It will NOT lead anywhere else.

To be still and know is to yield thinking and let the movement of Live register as the true of You. If you think "Oh, you can fake that", I say, why would you? Why would you? Unless to persist in clever thinking that usurps your true knowing and willing. Free willing is whole - not reactive.

Be true to your self - not to what fear defines you as. If you want.

Designed out of the system

Tidbits.com is a mostly Mac/Apple tech new site that has been running many years.
In an article on:

Thwarting Twitter’s Upcoming Data Collection

I read the following line:

"Then again, maybe I’m not the sort of user Twitter is seeking".

This phrase resonates in me because as living relational individuality, I find I do not exist within such system, unless perhaps a bug to be designed out or eradicated. 

To create in one's own private image is to deny Life and undermine one's own Living (relationships). All of which consolidates as a 'culture' of coercion by design and by enforcement. Fear is the 'god' of coercion.

I can see a world that increasingly has no place for creative freedom of being. 

I likewise find myself increasing unwilling to subscribe to coercive or fear-based thinking, of implicitly disguised design or explicitly asserted 'power'. 

While everyone is fearful they look outside to 'see' where 'it is going' and what everyone else is doing' and if everyone waits for everyone else to find permission to be creatively themselves, there's a long wait on…

One result of accepting freedom is looking AT the template instead of running within its 'mind'

Monetising Life

Economist Magazine Explains Why Economics Is Prestigious – But Gets It Wrong

Science itself has been hijacked by a 'superiority' complex, and resorting to esoteric mathematical complexity obscures the coercive mentality of 'understanding' only as a subset of manipulation and control. This technologism is not for the 'greater good' excepting to gain initial acceptance. It operates a wolf in sheep's clothing. Technologising Life, weaponising Life, medicalising Life, monetizing Life, and limiting and dividing it in such a way as to operate as a coercive will or power - SEEMINGLY outside or apart from Life. An 'alien will' that seems to come between the Life you are and share and be, to suck upon its life in order to SEEM to exist - AND confuse you with such as life as if it were your OWN - and thus given protection though it cuckolds all that is true.

Science truly is the free discovery of the true, but has been conditioned only to focus with mechanism at mechanism as if nothing is in Mind. But "watch out! He's behind you!" as they shout at pantomimes.

The hidden hand of competition sets all things apart from true nature and determines how the world works, for who owns and designs the system of money supply and media information and war and surveillance capabilities (and etc) consolidates itself to prey upon all who think they are themselves a power. And it does so through the mind. Through the back door - from below.

A hacked mind - not really by 'others' or by 'dark forces' though these too can be experienced. But in all honesty we leave it open and unguarded to be 'used' by ideas that are not true of us and which then program our identity in the same way as we see the world at large being a competing of manipulations rather than a process of communicating.

Sovereignty of will is not coercive imposition of fear upon the mind, but is of a true foundation.

All things come from Source. Definitions may extend the Creative or they may spell trouble.

Without a true foundation, all is bedlam. Which suits the most focussed and audacious manipulators.

Life is a process of synchronicity. The world we meet is not the One True World. We make choices. But if we choose fearfully, we do not realize our choices make us and the world we experience in such a way as to not know the choice in which we operate. Fear operates denial. All psychological defence mechanisms can show the basis for why people behave psychotically and neurotically - and why mental ill heath is normalized - much like the term 'sinner' was but without any trace of God.

Adulteration of currency begins when one makes image or definition of Life, and takes one's self seriously.

True knowing can read the energy of the present and make probability predictions - knowing that the prediction itself changes the probability. But we are now in a such a state of unknowing - that anything is asserted to bolster and maintain the appearance of credibility, authority and right to rule. Fear is the realm of the lie.

amanfromMars commented:Quite so, binary. I concur and would posit that there can be, and therefore most definitely must be and is, an app and simply complex programming project to make greater use of that knowledge in a better beta direction than is presently being pursued and supported by dumb ignorant media channels and current delivery systems admin of fiat paper money control, now reduced and elevated to the electronic transfer of virtual digits to a computer near you.

My reply:

The app that runs a distortion of virtual overlay is faithful to its dumb urge to protect via command and control in isolation, but force quit it and behold the unfolding of an undistorted expression of creative endeavour.

Otherwise every green shoot is 'infiltrated/infected' so as to be subverted to an arrogance of ignorance. Even a glimpse of the wonder and beauty - the Loveliness of Life - offers a basis from which to challenge or question the programming of fear and debt - based leverage.

amanfromMars :

"an undistorted expression of creative endeavour"

            Hmmm. At best, and whenever IT is quite different as I allude to such as being presently readily available for current power supply demands and needs today, would be somewhat heavenly, binra, with ....... well, the AAA++ Anonymous Autonomous Active levers of Creative CyberIntelAIgent Command and Remote Virtual Control in sublime attendance.

            Finding intelligent enough partners who can cleverly engage and provide necessary output to input and input to output for enhanced reinforced lead in patently novel and noble directions is the magic which drivers the programming and its future protocols and project parameters.

            Fortunately though, is IT intelligently designed so that one can if one so chooses, go it alone without having to rely on the good gracious help of others into similar fields of absolutely fabulous endeavour.

My reply:
Birds of a feather flock together. Vibrational resonance determines the 'others' with whom you CAN communicate or meet. Generally speaking the fear that something wont work out generates the attempts which ensure that the fear comes true.
Though true and false have no degree, Humankind mostly lives under a measuring stick of what is real or true and what is less real or less true. One does not have to wait on conditions or others to be true to oneself - that is to accept what is true of you and refine or abandon what is not. Refining or indeed abandoning definitions that don't work - or bring an experience that you say you don't want, is the key of freedom to turnabout whatever felt to be locked. The roots are in our own willingness of our own experiential honesty. That such an honesty wouldn't then find expression and extension in cultural expression on all levels is impossible. But human thinking or mis-identified wishing, always tries to put the cart before the horse.
Hopefully humankind is coming to realize that Inspiration is not something to impose upon others, but that the willingness to embrace and act from our own is the capacity to meet and communicate with others. One cannot have an experience of which one is not equal to.
Underneath all of the descriptive account of HOW humanity sabotages itself is simply the active denial of true worth. If you can feel this, you know that your own contribution will either stem FROM such disconnecting sense of self, or witness to its undoing in a true sense of creative endeavour. Everything we do is creative endeavour if we are awake to the wholeness or presence of the moment at hand. The power of the mind is recognized by manipulators - but they don't realize it costs them their true power to use it thus. Official orthodox 'reality' is an identity that then defends and asserts to maintain itself. You are clearly willing to step off the edge of such worldview so as to expand the model - but at some point one needs to go native and release the 'command and control' mentality altogether.
Life actually works the way it works - but human ego then overlays its own commentary and has an experience of being "in control".

Bottomming out is part of releasing what doesn't work. (doesn't belong in our mind's acceptance).
We cannot take that experiential learning away from anyone but we can be a communication that listens, joins with and honours, that which thinks it thinks alone.

Torture

CIA Torture Is But the Tragic Tip of the Proverbial Iceberg

Torture is known to work - in the sense of polarizing hatred and seeding war. Whatever anyone may think they are thinking when they use extreme or in fact ANY coercion upon others, they are seeding war as the 'operating system' within which a sense of any personal CAPACITY to wield power is 'enjoyed'. The wish to be a power unto oneself runs deeply in fear imprinted human programming, and operates as a 'mind' of disconnection from Life. Not that one CAN disconnect from Life and exist - but that one can lose all FEELING or awareness of Life in the contraction upon a separate self-sense - fear.
Fear operates a device of segregation that splits off a mind unto itself - but ONLY if the active purpose is fear directed!
Torture is extreme example of power over powerlessness within the mutually defined terms of self in world. Each seeds and reinforces the other. Consciousness IS the Power to release a false sense of power or powerlessness because all true power is Creative and of the Creator of which Consciousness is Expressing as the act of definition, from which spring beliefs, feelings, perceptions, reactions and thoughts. Fear of pain drives wilfulness in resistance to believed sources of pain. BUT exposure of fear's device may also lead to the abandonment of USING fear or coercion as identity - for its cost is made starkly clear.

The effect of choosing to torture is known to degrade and brutalize consciousness. As you do, so are you done by. To see other Living Ones as meat reflex is to become the same. The ACTUAL way to become whole, present and full feelingly alive is to choose to see this in OTHERS. IN this sense you ARE your brother's keeper - for as you see him or her you cannot avoid seeing yourself. Deception operates to obfuscate this so that some forms of powerlessness seem like power and some seem starkly powerless. Or some forms of pain seem like joy while others violate one's sense of Life.

Ultimately - which is simply another word for truly or actually, humanity does unto itself; we do unto our self, or in Jesus terms; 'even as you do unto the least, (anyone), you do unto Me'.

What do we do? We blank others and we blank Life by asserting a wish to determine truth as a power unto ourself. Judging or defining all things to reflect our own will we make a world that is "all about ME". Such self-specialness may take any number of forms to express that power aggressively and/or passive-aggressively in withholding and suffering.
All roles and personae seek and find mutual reinforcement in shifting alliance, competition or outright war. This then constitutes a 'world' of virtual distraction and manipulative distortions of communication in which Life can hardly get a Word in edgeways - because fearful reaction and defence drive the machine of the 'mind' of power. While this is meaningful in seeming to bring something of value, it will NOT be abandoned. Yet is COSTS awareness of true meaning and value at every level of our conscious appreciation.

One can operate entirely from a positive or re integrative integrity rather than from a hidden and deceitful fear-based wish of self-specialness that might SEEM to be under control but is always seeking to direct the key points to its own agenda.
You ARE the world - but not as a character within it wielding power. You can only MEET that which you are equal to. Willingness stretches in trust of discovery but wilfulness puffs up to deceive. There is a true power in meeting challenge and expanding one's capacity to embrace and communicate all elements in a given situation in the context of purpose clearly held and stated.

Very clearly, an insane 'mind' is running in place of Reason. It operates by 'seeing' in others what it hates in itself - as if that 'gets rid of it'. But it reappears in shadow enemies here, there and everywhere and validates the 'holy' façades of justified aggression - such that 'evil' becomes the very god of one's living - for without seeding it everywhere in every way, there would be no way to prop up the façade and the actual agenda is exposed as a sham that covers deep seated shame. For no one in a true sense of their own worth treats themselves and others worthless.

One cannot add to themself by works or deceits, but only through willingness to truly Be themselves. If true joy in life is substituted with a fearful substitution, the currency is adulterated by a coercive 'mind' that demands sacrifice of joy.
Being cut off from one's joy in being is intolerable - so that is put 'out of mind' and a mask is made whereby to 'adapt' to a loveless world. But it isn't real, but temporary, until the time comes to 'come forth'. The mind seeks perfect conditions. But the mind of the mask doesn't know the perfect - being made in confusion of love and fear. So it always says 'not now!'. yet Now is the flowing moment of all living - and if not now - when?

The 'Heart' is a symbol for the unified wholeness of being. All symbols can be used manipulative. It is up to you what your purpose is, but the Heart's purpose is 'know thyself'. This is reintegration of recognition and communication - not 'make your self-image' and demand or coerce life to fit into it!

A hater is a mixed up heart. A blind mind. To play along in part is to be of like kind. Heaven forbids nothing, but to choose against your nature must blind you to it though it is the light by which all knowing sees. But here's the last point which is also the First - and that is a true innocence and radiance to the light that can never be extinguished. The 'damned' will deal out in kind while fear must deny they are loved unconditionally. We do not limit God. Only our mind limits our awareness. A mind is not fixed because it remains free to be all that mind is - regardless the limitations it accepts. That much of this is put 'out of mind' for reasons of Notional Security! is not to say it is un knowable or un-ownable. We can only change what we can first own. Nothing else is actually changed but simply playing at change and getting very seriously addicted to it.

Fear's conspiracy

MediaLens.org hosts a forum - I just had a look - and to a thread on the idea of 'conspiracy theory' wrote the following:

- - -

Motivations can be analysed - but not without involving the bias of one's own. The polarisation of perceptions operates war, as the breakdown of communication to the operation of defence as each facet of any struggle in terms of its perceived identification.

For beneath any such intention and act is the self-definition operating.
Everyone always acts in any situation toward that which they define and believe is closer to their pleasure and away from what they define and believe in that situation to bring pain. The key phrase in the sentence is define and believe.

True freedom operates at the creative level of awareness. Whatever we accept as self definition and choose to believe by reacting from such definition, automatically generates perceptions and interpretations and behaviours in accord with such premises.

Anything believed and accepted 'self' will be protected with all the facility of will and strategy against what is perceived and interpreted 'threat'.


Divide and rule is associated with a tyrannous or coercive intent, but it begins firstly within our own consciousness. A split mind is a fearfully defined sense of self conceived as defence within an intolerable pain of self-contradiction. It renders the core issue unconscious by the coercive and active assertion of psychological defences.

This picture of human consciousness as generally accepted, traded and operating as currency, is an overlay or mask that could be called a tacit and pervasive conspiracy to deny and suppress the exposure of one's own loveless or hollow mask by maintaining a busyness of focus away from Consciousness as Presence and upon the world of projected fears and even constructed enemies. For the fearfully identified mask is effectively running away from itself by using its own consciousness and the world-perception of a distorted consciousness, as a screen on which to escape a pervasive pain and validate a personal agenda.

Insofar as psychological discovery can be weaponized, it will be embraced by a fearful identity to generate subtler and more insidious forms of disguise and persuasion for prevailing or at least persisting in power struggle. For its primary identity dictates fearful struggle to prevail and survive against a 'hostile world'.
War demands the active denial of truth excepting in tokenism of exceptions of strategic advantage. War justifies any means to gain the ends that fear justifies.

A pervasive fearfully defined and joyless society automatically operates a conspiracy against exposure - excepting in subverting such exposures to generate its own agenda of power, of market and mind share, of self-reinforcement. The split operates in innumerable forms but is essentially that of sacrificing, giving up or depreciating one's true power as Consciousness to externally defined 'solutions' that tend never to resolve the issue, but disguise it in more complex forms of dependence upon external 'authority', in which illusion of self-specialness or illusion of freedom may be promised but cannot deliver, because one's true presence Is freedom - BUT for the accepting and engaging in self-definitions that are out of true and which generate fear, and split the mind to operate a masked existence, blind to the heart's knowing.

Fear would always frame our choices in such a way as to deny our true freedom. The very tricks and devices that a fearfully manipulative agenda are so audaciously employing to its conditioned 'mind-share' illuminate the pervasive split-minded consciousness that runs like a botnet of fear-feeding consciousness that has in a sense been hacked through lack of true worth and vigilance.

What we accept into our mind is given our power. To accept beliefs that are NOT true of us, dis-integrates or splits off a segregated and segregative consciousness that does works as tares among the harvest. The personalizing of conflicts is the masking into terms that ensure the issue itself will not be exposed or addressed. Any 'personae' will be willingly sacrificed for the sake of the core agenda, and the charge neutralized so that it can not only reassert itself without challenge, but absorb and grow in its multi threaded subversion of all forms of challenge and resistance so as to maintain an appearance or mask of 'acceptability', where such a mask is still strategically deemed necessary.

I wrote this to remind and reflect that we not only have choice but are always operating as choice, whether as an integrative consciousness in freedom to be truly ourselves, or in terms dictated and defined by fears we may not even realize are operating our mind - in our name.

Although there may well be innumerable struggles of an external nature through which consciousness wakes up to Its true nature, I simply offer the reflection that the shift from fear to a true freedom of creative endeavour, must rise from a willingness to recognize and own our fears truly - no matter how much our fear of fear seeks to turn our eyes away.

No one can change that which they have not first owned - even momentarily - for the recognition of holding pain in our heart does not naturally keep holding it another moment! How much less can we change in others what we insist on denying in our self?

If you have a 99% case and bring in 1% of a coercive agenda, the other will detect it immediately and focus upon it to invalidate all else you offer.
Desiring to communicate without hidden appeals of self-specialness or self righteousness, that usually derive from hating or denigrating another, unsubscribes from the manipulative parlance of fear's botnet, extending a light of true witness.

The use of fear for coercive identity operates in darkness. It may attempt to bring illusions of light into itself to feed upon, and to subvert communication, but it cannot abide in light.

The opening of fear to the light of a true awareness is the yielding of a false and life-denying sense of personal power for a true foundation.

Everything expresses its foundation. Using fear as a foundation does not bring forth love or joy in harmony of purpose. It brings forth substitutes for these things to mask what lies beneath.

True foundation restores true perspective and therefore choices and opportunities that are truly integrative and which can see deceits without being baited by them and see past them to the fear in others that operates blindly without knowing what safety is - because they do not know who they are or they would fear not!

Whether anyone receives your communication or not, your giving is what absolutely determines your receiving - that is your awareness of the nature and quality of your true existence. Withholding our presence has been to worship judgement and become addicted or enslaved to the world it brings forth. The mind of divide and rule has no true foundation. The choice for self-power in darkness is on the table for a new era. I believe we all are making a conscious choice and am wholly desiring that this be so - and so I witness to that it is a choice that does not have to be chosen.
The willingness - even momentary - for refusing the 'gift of fear' is what invites and allows a reintegrating perspective. One step at a time, as an unfoldment of truly embracing Life.

Joining in hate is no intimacy whatsoever. Being truly touched by your own recognition IS.
When I typed 'desiring to communicate' I first chose the word learning but typed 'leaning'.
Leaning actively and consistently as an expression of true desire is transformational.
But reactively conforming and aligning with fear agenda is simply more of the same - albeit with a makeover.

I write this in one form or another over and over - but always new. The Consciousness beneath the issue is the door we do or do not choose to walk through.

Slavery is freedom; Freedom is slavery?

http://www.thedailybell.com/editorials/35886/Wendy-McElroy-Can-I-Sell-Myself-into-Slavery/

One can be a slave to an idea of self that is not true, but maintained in preference to truth, and as a result defend its assertion against what IS true. This equates the self with a power to 'do' or act upon the Life that is defined outside or other. But first it is coercive unto its Self. That a self contradiction can give rise to an insanity of an attempt to resolve it externally is evident. But the self-image defends itself against exposure by every means available, and so the desire to observe the mind-in-act is usually only as a result of an attempt to gain insight in order to leverage more control, or the true insights arising from yielding the personal investment in coercive thinking.

Free will means freely willing, but a presumption of independent coercive power redefines free will as the capacity to DO what it chooses - being blind to the fact that all action is an automatic result of the mutually agreed definitions, beliefs, feelings, thoughts, perception, that generate the experience which is interpreted in terms of the past and the behaviour simply effects reaction - along with a script or narrative of self-justification.

That 'slave selves' should organize themselves as a result of attempts to dominate, own, coerce and manipulate others is inevitable. Unified or unifying power is meaningless or anathema to such structures of thought EXCEPTING to attempt to unify all powers under one global power.

True relationship is not a contractual attempt to use the relationship only as a means to GET from, but an extension of a connected wholeness brought TO the relationship. The substitution of true presence with artifice is choosing to identify in mask rather than actually meet the other - or one's self. When all agree to turn away, the presence of Life has been disregarded in order to seek and find one 'own' life on one's 'own' terms' - and this seems a freedom while the 'Prodigal's' pockets are full of friends - but the journey is one of depletion and disillusionment into darkness and isolation - and all of it operates a mechanism of diminishing returns that finally require 'selling' or abusing every vestige of inherited integrity to get cash for the next 'fix'.

ONCE one is exclusively identified with the body and its corresponding personality structure (in the realm of blind powers acting upon each other), Coercion can be brought to bear by direct violence through to subtle inferences that are backed by the capacity or belief in the capacity to effect such violence on one's body, one's mind, one's loved ones, one's assets. The 'balance of powers' includes a willingness to limit such power through rules, laws and collective enforcement. But the nature of guile is to operate in the shadows towards undermining such limitations in one's own personal agenda and its own self-justifying exceptionalism.

So within the experience of our waking conscious sense of the world, we experience a conflict between an inherited or innate integrity that may be heavily denied by fearful and guilt or shame-framed self-definition, and the dictate of fear which operates as a driven or threatened sense of personal survival. Awakening to integrity and choosing to stand in it and live from it, may well meet the confusions of a split sense of self, but is awake beneath it and within it. Freedom to be who you are is the freedom to withdraw allegiance from what you are not. It is also the freedom to be truly guided as to how to relate in any given situation so as to release the hooks and triggers whereby guilt and fear would manipulate or 'bait' reaction. Freedom is of the Spirit - that is the freedom of Purpose. When all that arises is used to serve a willingness to uncover truth - then that is the purpose it shall have for you. When that is the ONLY purpose, then you have released all that WANTED untruth in yourself.

It is easy to invent scenarios to demolish love's reality for that has been the job description of the mind for millennia. But life is not rehearsal in mental dissociation so much as an ongoing unfolding living relationship in which one swims with the current or apparently against it - yet it flows as one whatever the little eddies and undercurrents may suggest.

What one attunes to becomes the focusing of their choosing and their experience - which then conditions the mind as reinforcement. Un-owned and un-transmuted fear is slavery. Identified and accepted guilt is powerlessness. Both can take many forms so as to operate a protection racket.

Following the dictate of fear  - albeit dresses as the temptation to 'power' or self-specialness - 'sells one's Soul' - which is to say trades an innate and integral capacity for joy and creative relationship for a 'lead role in a cage'.

The way out of an impossible situation... is to recognize you are not in it. Yet experience is equated with 'reality' and seeing is equated with 'believing'. Such is the slavery of a conditioned mind.

"Can I choose to deny true freedom in ever deeper and more complex and conflicting patterns of denial"? The answer is not to ask the question as a means to find out! Knowing that this is a painful and self-defeating futility, can you or anyone want this?

The capacity to maintain the focus in the physical experience is temporary. Not only requiring daily sleep, but innumerable correspondences behind the scenes to effect the experience - for even the material aspect of existence is not as solid and continuous as it seems. It also tends to operate as a discrete 'life-time' whether long or short.

While we cling to life in the terms we set, we fear not only death, but Life Itself. When Plato's freed man tries to speak to those in the cave, they will not hear, or will redefine what they hear in terms of chains. For they yet seek to be free from light, so as to dream alone in darkness. Dreams of freedom YES! Good News! Now they can understand. Feed them dreams of freedom so that they can cover and salve the pain and shame of a broken will, a lost love, a shadow of a life.

"Can I let myself into freedom"?

By siding with it instead of fighting for it. There is no freedom in hate. Don't take the bait!

What's Wrong?

David Mitchell: There's a lot wrong with the world. Isn't there?


Human beings have trained themselves to see what's wrong with anyone, everyone - and Everything! Not least because they believe they know what is wrong with themselves and insist it must be TRUE! When we look through a glass darkly, we justify a lack of presence. The lovelessness we 'see' is what the world looks like when your love is withheld. This must seem IMPOSSIBLY trite! But what is wrong with the world is now becoming all-powerful but for a few scavenged crumbs, and what is Right with your Existence, your being that is love - is discarded, denied, invalidated, weak and wishful.... by thinking.

What thinking does is to embody the intensity of the feelings arising from the beliefs of self-definition that are accepted true. It all makes your experience of the Only Thing Going On - which is Is - Existence. It's a Gift. We are free to choose but if we choose to forget we are free to choose we experience being victim to everything that is wrong with the world.

If you WANT to argue to KEEP grievance, you can, but do you Really Want It? Or is it something that grievance seems to give your self-belief that you truly desire? Looking to See is not thinking about. Look and see what is running our minds as 'thinking' and ask yourself if it is true of You? If you are willing to know, it is simply given you. If you a fearful of knowing, you make complexities to defer and delay and obfuscate. That's ok too - why not look and see and know whey you are afraid to know? I don't mean pontificating weaponizing disguising 'knowing' - but just the peace of knowing.

Everyone is making choices - whatever one does or says we have chosen to share in a realm of choice and choose we will. To know the choice you are making is being clear about who You are in Your relationships. This is the ONLY part you CAN play in the healing or awakening or re-aligning of health and happiness in the world - and the state of the world SEEMS to be the overriding reason WHY you cannot be you.

Perhaps one has the map upside down - for all one's diligence thereafter. Perhaps the noticing of what's wrong with the world is the only way to wake up to the call to decide to Be You anyway. Any way that is You. Powerlessness is a choice, a set up, a frame up. As soon as we take the bait of such thinking we believe, feel and experience accordingly. Life is Bigger. Infinitely Bigger. Perspective changes everything. Compulsion and reaction and conditioning are all locked in perspectives. Don't just think and do something, Look and See!

Bill commented (to the main article):

"There is nothing wrong with the world; it is only the people on it".

Or more accurately, only the mutually reinforced thoughts in the mind that reflect the experience of thoughts of wrongness as operating in a world of other people.

And they are not really wrong so much as thoughts that feel dissonant when chosen and so give rise to a sense of sin or wrongness that then projects out and away from itself to try to escape its own judgement.

What is the world when we PAUSE from using it to dump or scapegoat or appropriate blame? I don't ask that to be thought about - but invite the practice.
