Where do I gather my facts from?

I was asked, “Where do I gather my facts from?”


Though I don’t feel this intended as a trick question I have to pause … Firstly I have to say that facts or truths are not applicable to any thing – excepting it serves true purpose – and that is a living relationship and not a possession (so they cant be mine – but they can serve to illuminate the true of me – including the devices by which the true of me is made obscure).

But aside from the terms used – where do I get information as to what is – or is believed or asserted – to be happening in our world and as our perceptions and responses to our world?

And again I pause…
Because where I personally go has occurred out of a willingness to know that is both curious for and needing its right relationship within the unfolding of events that can be seen as outside – yet are reflective of inner configurations. So just to endorse something would short circuit the discovery of willingness and make a personal assertion where there is no call to.

The call to joy or the call for sanity and healing is the recognition and resonance of prompts and synchronicities that involvement in any opening to a larger communication allows – if there is willingness to abide the discomforts and resist the judgements.

The circle of our self can be like an egg – both limiting, exclusive – but protective… for a time.
The cracking of the eggshell can feel like the cracking up of reality. A living curiosity moves from within to challenge what seems closed because the stirring Life moves it to move and grow in ways that the limitations don’t allow. And the Mother may meet the chick in helping from beyond the shell.

The disturbance that can arise in our metaphorical human chick as a result of premature opening without having opened guidance and support can be a crash course in growth – or just a crash.
For we open to what we do not expect – and do not recognize our self unless we are living a willingness to abide the discomforts and resist the judgements so as to receive truly.

A Course in Miracles is many dimensioned and yet one is the journey with the Guide to the foundations of a false, loveless and destructive sense of self – that they be undone in a willingness to abide through the discomforts and resist reacting in judgement, so as to receive and give truly.

The world is revealing more of our unconscious deceits and hatreds out in the open – and yet these are framed for eggo in narratives of good and evil – upon which all their thinking is predicated.
This used to work – somewhat – as a way of getting rid of what you don’t like and keeping what you do – all from a rightful sense of self preservation. But it isn’t working any more and so it has to fall away to let the new in. Thus a need to know that operates as a deeper resource than the sense of independence.

Choices or accepted intent and action, are framed within existing and active definitions of which we are often unaware – and so have no awareness of our choosing and feel compelled by circumstance. We may want this when we enjoy the ride – but not when it goes out of kilter and we cant get off.

the Internet allows unparalleled communication. The invention of printing as something that could not be centrally controlled – brought about a reformation – and the advent of the Internet is doing likewise… excepting that disinformation is no less able to use the technology – and so hugely influential cartels of corporate interest seek to undermine communications felt to be unfavourable to their interests whilst putting forth what serves their prevailing as moneylenders in the template.

For where a kindness can bring need and answer together, a private self interest can come between – so as to control and own the money supply, or energy supply or healthcare supply – and then to infiltrate government or regulatory bodies so as to make laws that protect them from real competition – until governance is but a puppet theatre and the flow of information is controlled by an illusion of a free press. BUT – and this is important – it all happens in concordance with the mass desire to be protected from what they don’t want to know.

There are a variety of sites I drop into or use that aggregate from around the internet. I had not thought I would suggest any in particular because the only thing stopping anyone finding is their desire and willingness to look. But there is a site that I feel to invite looking at whose approach is in chime with Raj’s suggestion that we balance exposure to disturbance with inspiration and hope – indeed realisation and knowing of a different order than thinking can assemble – even with facts!
