Your Primary Function

Your primary responsibility and FUNCTION within the Awakening or reintegrating Movement of Being is to accept love. Unconditionally. This is the awakened response-ability to the true of You that effects the translation of an apparent independence invoked or imprinted from a sense of disconnection, of segregation or separation.

The urge or movement to overcome, escape or redefine a segregative sense of self is its reinforcement - and hides in the forms of 'self-empowerment' or 'self-protection' that seek external validations and become 'negative cooperations' of apparent and conditional 'unity' in which no real intimacy is embodied or shared and underneath and through which run hate agenda in the name or form of love, peace, unity.

It is not enough to derive the meaning or the truth of what Life is Communicating to you as The More-of-You when hidden fears, rages and guilts are allowed to drive your thinking as a sense of justification Over-and-Against perceived and believed evils. It is not enough to 'stop' at the form or surface meanings that operate the filtering and distortion, denial and sacrifice of love's presence shared because That is the Movement of Being in which you are identified perfectly - but never over and against 'THEM' or any living One or Thing. Not even against the insanity of self contra-diction - by which one's peace is lost when looking there for answer or fulfilment, safety or protection.

The sense of independence is attempting to 'do' what comes naturally to loving recognition - and becomes an ugly guilt-ridden parody of the Creator-Love - in obsession with power-struggle in which hate is given power as the illusion that replaces or substitutes for love that is hated and feared as if terror is the Lord and any mitigation or abeyance of its overwhelming power to hurt or deny Life is given 'gratitude' as 'love'.

Separate from that which separates by firstly pausing from reaction in order to feel and know your peace in and of which to receive more truly and clearly the recognition of your call to joy, to truly felt living thought as a unified expression of movement of connectness - that is the gift of your presence to wholly replace the mind that sought to add to itself - and opened a sense of loss.

One cannot repent of that which they refuse to own or know - but repentance is the natural result of true remorse - for why would you hurt, attack or undermine your self; your love; your right belonging and peace - once you recognize that this is the 'gift' you are choosing to accept and therefore 'share' or live from?

False union cannot become true without first releasing the false of its status as currency. That the forms of reaction seem to make this a reinstatement of division is the 'temptation' of the old mind habit. From a basis of true worth can communication and relationship extend and reflect to share the light and love of Creation - in place of the lens of denied and un-owned or unknown hate and fear.

Honesty to our feelings has to embrace and listen within - as a desire to be aligned truly rather than enforce coercively in the 'name of a false or partial god'. Concept and image cannot replace the Living One. But concept and image can be re-aligned to the movement of the call to joy.

Life is already in the act of knowing Itself through the movement of its unfolding unto Itself.

Free will is not oppositional but freely given willingness. True sovereignty is the extension of an Infinite Individuality - in unique and rich expression and reflection. The blaming of the will operates the guilt-denial of your true feeling awareness. Let an acceptance replace the self-judgement as the willingness to be truly moved - and turn from the old-mind habit freely - without conflict or argument - every time you notice its pattern. Every time you notice the feeling of being out of your connected peace. Unified form is not unified purpose. Hold to Living Purpose and let the form serve a true reflection.

Freedom is the natural state of being

Psychiatry as mystical symbolism
by Jon Rappoport

Jon writes on the device of diagnosing mental illness in terms of chemical imbalance - which then feeds a drug market that actually created such imbalances as it claims to treat or 'manage'.
Medical mythology operates the deepest psy op of the coercive mentality and the idea of mindcontrol arises from the abuse of the mind as an agency of control or power over life.


One story not given a voice in the article or comments beneath:

The marketplace of power operates under free will - regardless the complexities by which emotionally backed conditioning triggers reactions of fragmented and complimentary roles.
When we first adopt a mask of self-protection against naked or native Communication - we do not realize the 'choices' that that persona has in effect locked us into - until and unless the original conditioning imprint is in some way relived and re-evaluated or re-integrated. Not by a story-identity of assertive or controlled narrative - but as a recognition of innate freedom at Source. Identifying exclusively in effects and appearances is what we usually call 'the world' or its 'self'.
Such exclusive and segregative identity is necessarily a state of conflict - and regardless how it asserts or attempts to present itself - those conflicts and their pain are inherent to such a 'self-identity' - which is always a tango in which two or more agree NOT to know or hear or feel truth.

The willingness to forego the social 'protective' mask and listen for and be moved by the communication of our Being - (re Imagination at a level beyond the belief-prison of the segregative mind) - is the expansion of perspective and realigning of perception and experience to an integrative Flow of being - which is what is really 'going on' Always - though the mind can be fragmented to operate a lens of distortion and fragmentation that will mask your 'reality experience' while you choose to believe it gives you Life or Power rather than recognizing it demands the sacrifice of your Life and the true power of synchronicity that is Being the Presence You Are.

There are simplicities that multiply to a vast entanglement of complexity - which is part of their defence system. They are also called lies - but in the first instance they are mis-takes or incomplete and partial understandings or fears that become false foundations from which one then lives.
The ability to dissociate and fragment was marked by Freud and he sought ways to heal it - but didn't allow or recognize his own involvement and participation in the 'relational issues' we label and hide from by means of narratives of external agencies such as genes and biology or past-guilt sins and theology.
The ability to heal or reintegrate to a wholeness of Presence is innate to us and does not require special 'learning' or 'deserving' - but the framing mentality of the matrix of fear, coercion and guilt does require these and renders the mind incapable of accepting Reality Now - for it 'sees' only total loss in such an unthinkable idea. Thus the drive to disallow heart-acceptance is the sacrifice of love, truth and beauty that is masked by a false 'love, truth and beauty' coercively asserted and defended and maintained with all the force of the original survival fear that triggered our first differentiations from a wordless but true knowing.

Revisiting and re-visioning the past imprinting does not require adding anything to what is unfolding our reality - but does require the desisting or releasing of the false narrative self and its world - which is the active layer of obfuscation and diversion from true presence no matter what roles are being played out in the personality level.
When I was young the term 'mental' was used colloquially for 'mentally ill' (which itself was a taboo area that was not open to discussion or even thought). I now see that mental substitutions for relational communication is indeed 'mental dis-ease', while insinuating itself as socially normal' via guilt and fear 'incentives'. Waking up is not a better mental handle - it is the abandonment of such a prison, for the mind simply operates where and when needed within a truly lived relationship. There is no 'control issue' or power struggle until such perceptions and reactions are triggered fears from which the 'divide and rule' paradigm operates in place of truly felt discernment (of both intuitive and intellectual focusing).

There is no verbal mental vocabulary for wholeness of being - only for the Loss of Communication in self-limitation within conflicting identifications. But Life lived and shared and embodied IS such a language already - and though it is our First Nature, we have to relearn its focus from an adopted priority given to a second nature that SEEMS to be the first voice, or reaction to anything. But to pause and revisit the wholeness or presence beneath appearances allows a re-visioning from which to live an entirely different foundation than the fear-guilt coercion. And yes, like any learning it has to be chosen anew and anew whenever the old habit seems to be running your choices for you. Otherwise, you will not KNOW that you want it - and this is what waking up is to resume; the focusing within what you truly want. The world paints symbols for your heart's desire - but the world cannot give you your heart;s desire for it is already With you. Acceptance at the heart will reflect a different 'world' and if you want this you must choose it - because Reality is not coercive upon you, but honours your desire. Of course this reads crazy to the mental - but consider that if your are 99% preoccupied in making sure something terrible does NOT recur or occur for you - then you are 99% negatively identified - even if the 1% is a surface reality in which you are struggling to succeed in escaping, evading or mitigating those 'unconscious' fears.

The 'unconscious' has many seeming levels - but is principally discarded and denied self. No less active for being denied - but in ever more 'hidden' forms as the complexity of maintaining 'unconsciousness' demands higher and higher levels of death and taxes to maintain itself at cost of true communication - which at first must embrace the denied 'negatives' that we have perhaps come to love to hate or need to hate in order to hold our 'identity' together.

The word I or 'me' is an apparently simple thing - but what it purports to mean can be anything and everything depending on all kinds of shifting forms that seen to be distinct arenas of context with their own demands and necessities. The Source 'I Am' is not a mental concept - which came later. One has to Feel Existence to reopen Relational Communication where a 'mental' assertion had effectively discarded, denied and usurped such awareness.

Such a metal identity can only 'listen' to its own thinking and cannot receive me at all - excepting to seek ammunition for its need to survive as war-mind in disguise.
At such time as this I treasure any sign of true willingness - for ever kind of deceit is risen to mimic the true. Jesus said "resist ye not evil!" - and I recognize that true. But I also see how a mind split in fear/evil will distort that saying so as to neuter the Jesus example. The way evils propagate is by getting you to give them focus without recognizing what you are in fact choosing - that is - by deceits and traps of conditioned reaction - so that you don't even know the choice you are truly making as a result of a false framing matrix of definition. That you have and ARE choice is my desire to stir within you and grow in myself - and opening the true nature of choice in terms of true of you or false to you - is a simplicity of discernment BEFORE the machinery of thinking is even summoned to action.
There is an integrity of being that is uncoverable beneath any kind of mental-emotional crap - because crap is not the worth that your creation establishes as You. If you have faith in crap - it will be no less rewarded than in your core quality of being - even if you cant currently abide in or recognize this as your natural inheritance. No one else can live your life - so why give access to the thoughts and stories that purport to protect you from life in return for an isolating sense of dissociated self-specialness?

What is Sovereignty?

What is Sovereignty?

True Sovereignty is free willingness - as contrasted by coercive or manipulative deceits.
The latter can be set up by conditioning in which a sense of self as deprived, threatened or pained is allowed or enabled to 'live' within the context and framework of believed or set 'conditions' - failure to meet resulting in penalty.
The human conditioning is regarded as the human condition - or the way of the world; the way life is. But as the article indicates, conditioned reaction is not true willingness so much as a compromise in which joy of wholeness is sacrificed to the demands of a 'god' external and other to Creation Itself - which is thus 'seen' as apart from its true Living Context - as a world of things and forces - all seeming to be separate things and conflicting and competing needs and natures.
The idea of free will has been subverted and usurped by the freedom to 'do' which is then seen as an initiative of a separate self sense - but all behaviour is initiated by the underlying matrix of definitions and beliefs through which the Movement of Being gives form as the desire to Know Thyself.
To know one's true will, the false must be noticed and left unused. Jesus shows a clear example - but it is not available to the old wine bottle paradigm.

Thinking Alone

Thinking alone - is a choice not to join with or relate. But such thoughts still share and join with everything of a like frequency - generating experience of a world of isolated combatants in a world of separate 'things'. 'A lead role in a cage'. If that is where you current desire is - then that's where you defend - but if you ever question where your thoughts  are coming from and whether they speak for who you really are - then there is always another way to look at the Life that is all that is here - regardless how you look on it. I don't have that sense of Life as boring 'oneness' because Its experience of Itself is Infinite.

The richness, complexity and depth of feeling in being alive and awake has nothing to do with boring - and oneness is very much misused by private lonely thinking to escape 'negativity' which is nothing to to with a unified sense of who you feel and know yourself to be in any and every moment.

The direction I attempt to illuminate, is of escaping from a false imprisonment. Thoughts are within what Mind is - not outside or apart from it. But it is possible to BELIEVE thought to be separated off and different - and run with it and make a self on it - which HAS to defend itself from What Is - while locked into its exclusivity.

I'm not suggesting a wrongness or sin in choosing to think in secret - but that a real choice has to be aware of what the choice is between to BE a choice. The sense of self that protects its power to deny, withhold and segregate does not allow awareness of anything that exposes its true relationship.

This is what we are making a world of; denial, suppression and a lonely sense of 'power'. It is a complex mind-trap that has terror and rage in its imprint - but which is healed in laughter. But the laughter is a gift of true perspective.

Life is already a gift. The meanings we give to it are the thoughts and beliefs we choose to accept. But until we wake up to our true response-ability - we run on the meanings that are imprinted and conditioned - as if they are fixed, locked in and unquestionable.

I'm not trying to change your or anyone's mind - but reflecting within the dream that you Are Mind  in act of focus - and that - at that level you have freedom and perspective to transform your experience and relationship with Everything - and it is challenging, exciting and enlivening. It is your life - and your gift to live it that automatically shares - or creates a different world. But of course if you take the words at the surface form and try to fit them into the caged mind - it will turn out to be meaningless bullshit like everything else in a meaningless mindset.

If I was... then I'd be...

"If I Was In Better Shape, I'd Be More Confident"

I confess I saw the title of this youtube video promotion, took in a few comments of it and apart from some random dips, did not go into the whole video.

Whenever I am in touch with the true basis for self-trust, there isn't even self-consciousness of lack of 'confidence' nor of using the 'shape I'm in' as a judgement of worth.

Invalidating thinking undermines a natural capacity of receptivity and response as the idea of invalid-ity. And while I am believing such judgements as true of me - including the societal environment of judgements that tap into my own, I have to at least work with that as part of recognizing I am doing that - and what I get out of it and why.

Lack of true self-acceptance is masked of persona that then seeks external validation in substitution for what it does not accept for itself.There are reasons in our conditioning that set us in the patterns we have as part of strategies of adapting to a society that felt UN-loving, and UN-trustworthy - and there are deeper perspectives in that original imprinting that are available in revisiting it that were not available then.

Seeking for something from an unconscious belief that you lack it - can seem to become all sorts of things but cannot exceed its starting place. You can only rest in who you feel and know yourself to be - not in anything you are trying to be. However, a sense of power is appropriate to reclaim from a sense of powerlessness - but if we look for it in terms of powerlessness we get caught in an illusion of power that costs us our core humanity - and this is writ large in the world right now. A false masculine power operates upon the denial and subjugation of the receptive and expressive because those are seen as weakening the CONCEPT of power to which wholeness of life is sacrificed.

Ok so that's deep. But at root - your core sense of worth is not determined by anything ABOUT you - unless of course you say so. That flies in the face of all societal conditioning because societal conditioning covers who we really are with a 'face'.

Movement and action from a willingness to feel a true sense of worth does more than thinking about anything. We grow what we live FROM - and that is how we lost a true appreciation of our Life; by coming FROM a need to limit and hide and present ourselves acceptable or defend ourselves from pain. The law doesn't change - but now we can use it on purpose - rather than grabbing at whatever worked for what our need was then. Some of this is appearing in the ideas in the presentation but it is adulterated with the winning/losing paradigm. Only fear of losing needs to be a winner. Who sets up to fail - but the one who HAS to be a winner?

Who Is?

In Search of the Self

Who searches for self but one who believes they have lost it!
Who is it asks the question 'who am I?
If it is a statement in the form of a question, then the assertion of "I" is defined as a 'who' - and free to identify and construct itself amidst a wide range of thought, feeling and behaviour - and then assert this 'self' while continuing to adapt to its own unrecognized reflections.
If there is a true desire to know your self - then put aside all this masquerade and abide in the true desire. IT will tell you or connect you with - all you need to know. But not as the appendage to "I am 'this' or 'that'. That is not knowing so much as rehearsing in idea and having an experience from it. There is no one who can show me a self and there is no one who can really not be who they are - regardless the presented appearances of form and communication.
Perhaps it is simply the human journey thus far, to discover or re-cognize and re-member who they are after first experiencing and recognizing who they are NOT!
Seeking in the only place where answers are kept out - is the exclusive and rejecting sense of self that mistakes itself in the idea of power over Life. Where two or more are gathered in ignorance and arrogance - Life is not recognized - nor the pain of life denied truly acknowledged.
Models, like images and symbols - are not the thing they point to - and are not the basis to define what they point to. That is back to front.

Nothing Outside You?

Friston vs Brogaard: Down the Rabbit Hole
HEAD TO HEAD: Is our experience real, or simply a construct of the brain? 

Without personal rancour let it be obvious that if experience of anything and everything was a 'product' or effect, it would not be OF the brain - which is itself effect. It may be filtered, limited or distorted THROUGH the brain (in the total sense of the body as instrument). It would be of Mind - Soul - God or whatever name you choose for non physical, non local and non temporal causation - for awareness is not apart from its object - except in thought. Nothing is more than or less than IS - but you define it so - and focus in lifetime through your acceptance of your own 'word'.
But in the course of conditioning of our own unfolded experience, the purpose of our focus in the physical sense has drifted from a conscious exploration within limitation, to struggle to survive and prevail as a limited sense of autonomy. This fearfully conflicted, contracted, densified and defended sense of self 'meets' it reflection in a like world, that seems disconnected, un-conscious and blind to the Feeling of being that is integrity of being within wholeness - hiding in fear and hiding from fear - it thinks it thinks alone - in a mind enclosed by flesh and surrounded by a world that is treacherous, other, and untrustworthy. It recognizes itself NOT in everything but puts all that self-concept excludes down, and out away - as a negative projection - as if to get rid of hated, feared self. Mind is The Projector - but what we focus upon and accept into our mind is what we give or multiply by going forth - and receive in like kind.
When fear, guilt and division are accepted and believed and reacted from as a chaos to be limited, controlled or overcome, then this becomes our focus - our thought of self-definition - and this is what we then give and receive as our communication BUT just as coercive use of communication fails to communicate a wholeness - for the form belies a hidden agenda - so does a split mind come from the attempt to make yourself in your own image or concept.
Not recognizing our own thought reflected we see 'enemy' and adversary - action feeds on reaction and the seeming 'evolution' of technological abilities of control are in fact a devolution from a natural spontaneity of communioned being... BUT these learned abilities - which have as it were, fleshed out in complex interrelationship of structures and tools is transformed by the shifting of purpose for which they are used when the personality-structure and its reality break down in the results of attempting to manually operate Life and effectively enslave it under a loveless mentality that is revealed to be wrong about its own foundation and thus undone of it AS foundation.
This no longer operates to usurp a true foundation in Cause and the reintegration of the split focus into unified purpose, operates a different 'life' than what was before - but now more and more openly coming through what was taken to be a private mind - which is the knowledge or communioned sense of not being alone - and reflects in experience of relationship in which recognition of self in other and of other in self - opens a healing of ancient hate - as an undoing of what never ultimately done in the way our imprinting conformed us to believe - and so fresh perspective restores choice that was unknowingly hidden by frameworks of apparent choices that all serve the mind that is running away from intimacy of being.
The desire to know is the other side of the coin of desiring to love and be loved. Love of truth leads to truth of love. If you truly want to know, you have to open a real relationship and feel your way. It is possible to assert rigid self-definition in a way that holds your reality apart from communication and relationship while presenting yourself the judge and invalidating all else. But isolation is pain - no matter it is denied and distributed onto 'others'. Elitism of self-specialness believes itself to be first - but is the last to release a fear-driven sense of self accept true foundation - which must at first be experienced as humiliation.

Your body and brain serve you willingly - even while you ride your power in the world. The effects of abusing and toxifying our own mind, body and world are more and more Obvious - but still we deny and kill the messengers that are our own Call - unrecognized.

Without the feeling of what informs and structures thought - is a mere evaporation of thinking while undercurrent runs the denial of feeling as the leaking out of self-hatred in all we do.
Layers and layers over layers of pretence do not change the core. Whether we like it or not, our denied imprinting is reflecting back the very terrors and fears - and rage - that the self-in-the-world- was supposed to save us from. But one does not stand in the same river twice - and the recognition of need allows perspective where before was blind panic. The need to know is also the need for true sanity. But knowing is not the translations into image, concept or symbol.
having truly known and felt known perfectly - it is your re-cognized freedom to live your life as a gift of discovery - rather than tyrannously conformed by pain, fear and guilt.
There is nothing outside Consciousness - and Consciousness is not your brain - or even 'your' mind so much as the Movement of focusing within being in which you know and feel your existence perfectly - without need to go in search of an identity to 'validate' on others - for what you give sets the measure of your receiving - and so you cannot NOT be the recipients of my giving - though your freedom to accept in accord with your own choice is as inviolate as my own.
Aligning 'will on earth with will in heaven' is pausing the mind of reaction, in desire to truly feel and know within - as one's natural or innate inheritance. This is really about reopening a channel of communication with the quality of Life within this very instant that for whatever reasons has been covered over, lost, forgotten, mistaken as threat or source of shame and denied.
When one is simply in the flow of their being - they don't stop it to ask questions that no longer hold meaning - BUT if your questions are genuine - then of course you will be prompted to notice the more of You that is always here and which you are now welcoming - regardless that the personality mind gets freaked out for a while until you bring it through to a calmer perspective.

An experience of experience is not less real that direct experience - for all experience is in some way integral to Infinite Existence or it could not be imagined. But is clearly a filtering and limiting image-perception of whatever is truly presencing Itself - right where you are.

The phrase 'down the rabbit-hole' is a reversal. For the self and world we take to be real is ALREADY down a complex of rabbit holes. The re-wakening from such an exclusive focus in such self-definition attempts to frame itself in terms of past conditionings - but you cant put the new wine into the old paradigm. There is nothing outside You - but who you truly are is always in relation with all.

Easter Message

The recognition of the nature of the act of definition as a determination of meaning, in fixed or conceptual terms needs to recognize that it is not an act of power over - but an extension of freedom to - according to the active purpose being engaged in.

For the mind-in-service can serve to embody felt meanings - but the mind in judgement over, attempts the conforming or imposing of ideas removed from the context of serving communication within relationship, to the role of dictating or controlling the narrative and in that sense - the form of the relational outcome.

This is simply the loss of communication and relationship to a conceived sense of power - whether seemingly winning or leading - or seemingly losing - or indeed using the form of losing to manipulate the delusion of the winner. For power against itself weaves an infinite web of deceits.

Attention can be released from personality obsession arising from identity in judgement, by willingness and desire to know the truth - that is - to be receptive to the noticing of what is in fact being communicated or extended as social manipulations - beneath the mutually agreed definitions, which operate beliefs and investment in power over - and consequent fear of loss of power to that which being robbed or denied - is expected to deny.

Jesus extended the invitation of a willingness for knowing truth, in which who you really are is set free of what a false sense of power, limited and defined you to be. As long as we agree to define such power outside our self, we embody an assertion of powerlessness that then competes to align with or exploit wherever it seems to be.

Perhaps Jesus would have rather found acceptance in a like willingness for communication and relationship than denials in which he chose not to join with - preferring to know the truth than kill it to feed self-illusion. But that 'passion play' imprints the core conditioning of a masquerade of power that must deny and indeed crucify, love, in order to seem to exist in judgement over and apart from Life's Meaning.

The reflection of the activity of our mind to our own notice - is our whole way out from self-conflicted identities that cannot afford honesty or actually grow trust. But only if that noticing abides wordless in the heart's knowing without being sacrificed to a guilting script.

When guilt insinuates itself in our thinking - it poisons all else to serve a hidden agenda - for it must stay hidden for a part of who it allows you to be - to mitigate or temporarily escape its pain. It puts down and casts out in the name of your protection.

Discerning deceits so as to no longer use them as the lens of our thought, is a primary responsibility of our freedom to think or define, perceive, accept and act from.

This is most practical information to any who desire freedom from a deceit that robs us at our very foundation. But first one has to notice that something is out-of-true and honestly enquire as to the true - as the context in which to know the difference - and act upon it.

Whatever the circumstances that bring one to a moment of or stirring in true noticing - celebrate the noticing without defining it in association with the conditions - excepting of course - in gratitude.

As an Easter treat I'll share something I found inspiring that may hearten readers here; "open dialogue" - you can start with Daniel Mackler's youtube documentary:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

and follow your interest. Perhaps actually people are more interested in the dynamic of conflict and the fascination with evil. When it really comes to it is all the talk of 'freedom' a way to persist in perpetual war? Or is living unto the freedom of others as yourself, a willingness to communicate and open genuine relationship? What we give out - is what we get back.

Forgive yourself your judgements for they know not what they do. Only a wholeness of being knows its purpose without hidden or denied underside. Wholeness of being may not be definable - but that does not been it is unrecognisable or unfelt. Wherever you feel and know the true of you - is where your life unfolds to you.

This is not coercive upon anyone. The coercive sense of will arose from mistaken self-definition that then perpetuates itself by persisting the assertion of out-of-true as its foundation. A foundation that depends on being hidden to seem to be a foundation.

How you read the story is up to you - but you can only meet that which you are willing to be the vibration of. Truth is not killed - but framed out of sight by insistence upon a sacrificial worship of guilt as the guarantee of power.
No matter how complex a deeply defended lie is - it is no more true than a fib. What you invest in and want to be true is the determiner of how readily an error can be corrected - and of course this is a matter of who you define and accept yourself to be - moment - by moment - by moment.

But if you recognize that what is - Is beyond definition - excepting as an extension of the freedom to create - then there is a basis from which to notice and align self-defining idea to the true of you.

Otherwise hidden definitions run old conditioning that believes the true of You is unacceptable.

(This was a response to a mentioning of this message in another conversation)

True Meanings Expand

One of Jon's socio-political reflections brought this response from me:




Yes – I join with you. True meanings are capable of expansion and fluidity – because they are alive.

Discernment is the key. Jon talks of logic and imagination – but both of those operate from a premise which can be true or not. A fearful sense of self will operate a negative imagination – no less in disguising itself within positive spin. Discerning a true foundation is like feeling the ring of integrity or freedom from the smell of a manipulative intent. But we can only recognize integrity through our own – which includes the willingness to align with it from wherever we seem to be. Then we can meet situations and others and recognize in others without being addicted to outer identity forms. For it is not the form of a thing that communicates meaning but the wholeness of context in which the form takes its meaning. If I want to discern the meaning of anything I simply feel or listen within and what I need turns up because I didn’t believe it wouldn’t. I didn’t give energy to the fear that I would be denied or deceived – and so that imagination wast communicated to higher mind and used to invoke experience.

To know what I need to know, when I need to know it, allows desire to align whatever is needed. What is my desire? It is the movement of my being – or more exactly it is the resonance and relevance within the movement of being to who I feel and know myself to be. Which is more of a core signature vibration than any externally validated set of concepts, images or forms.

We lose our energetic sensitivity when we rely on short-cuts of outer recognition. But it isn’t at all LOST – it is simply the ingrained conditioning of trading in derivatives that have lost connection with the Worth – not least because in a world of symbols and symbols of symbols an inflated sense of worth can seem real as well as a sense of worthlessness when such bubbles are popped.

The lens of guilt and fear distorts perception – and inverts it – so as to make it the ’cause’ of the one who perceives – who is the dreamer of the dream regardless he struggles within the drama of it and rails at his fate. Pretending not to be fearful or guilt-conditioned only dons a spiritual disguise. But uncovering and owning fear and guilt feelings is the opportunity to choose differently – however – when they come to conscious awareness we are usually triggered to escape or avoid them ASAP and don’t realize that the grievance was an opportunity – especially if projecting out in grievance is our way not to own our own feelings – and feel somewhat righteous and relieved instead.

Release the grasp, to being truly found in already Embrace

From a conversation on one of Jon Rappoport's blog posts

... I'm not seeking a grasp so much as to release it to being truly found in already Embrace - but I also see that a willingness to articulate a reflection to the the heart's intuitive wordless knowing can serve the recognition in others as I simply listen 'with everyone else listening'. Shared purpose is shared Mind. Being moved is not passive - so much as true receptive - from which the active rises and embodies. The disconnected sense of 'active' is already emasculated - hence the hard armouring and 'proof' of power seeking validation in denials OF the receptive. This is in fact passive - because it knows not what it does while passively surrendered to - indeed possessed by - a fearfully defined sense of power.

But truth rests in power and that is why it cannot be used as a weapon without turning upon the wielder. Forgiveness of a true Self acceptance can replace the sword. Perhaps that's a summary of what I just wrote below - but came back to write the prequel! (Non linear editing!)


To interest such as there may be I write in the themes being opened here - not just as personal response - though I appreciate sharing in a willingness to feel ideas rather than use them for combat!


Whatever is - however knowing or beholding to be - is as it is. The mind can encode 'is', within a framework of meanings that then come 'between' as individual amidst infinite perspective. So was and maybe, or even shall be, arise within 'Always' as if Always is fragmented to time out of mind - and 'mind how you go!' - or lose awareness to a splitting image of a compulsive inversion of freedom in the idea of opposition.

The undoing, recognition or resolving of all things back to source is their freedom to reflect source rather than mind - for mind no longer 'splits' or comes between. It never did or could but the desire to serve experience calls it forth.

My experience arises the meanings I give and accept - ah! but now is an "I" of the infinite - presumed and experienced in finite terms simultaneously! I don't doubt the beauty of Existence is appreciable via number, geometry, music and vibrational qualities of resonance, but that Existence Itself is unspeakable - and its qualities may animate living imagery yet are not rendered or defined in image apart from the animating desire.

To write this I am paused and aligned here and there to write an embodiment of balanced willingness for recognition and rest in the fact of existence - prior to any mental assertion of non-existence or any idea of beauty or ugliness. Not for my person among persons - but as a witness in which to reflect without distortion.

The 'how' of and the 'why' or 'what for', subside as movements of mind in question, to abide in the heart of knowing the very thing in its moment of opening to ask.

Then in a sense , together as one, heart and mind embody a harmonic of a unified purpose and the 'interference patterning' of denial and forgetting is no longer tuned to.

To explain anything in terms of something 'else' is to redistribute 'meanings' that are tributaries of the idea of creating something 'else'; something unlike and different from Infinitely Always and Exactly Is. Thus we seem to become something 'else' and to have all things serve and reflect an OTHER meaning - and cascade of derivative meanings.

The loss of Identity for a shifting image amidst the ever changing has a traumatic and tragic underside - whenever the absurdity of such notion is lost to the acceptance and embodiment of self-serious hate - for so is judgement however it arises to cover a deeper integrity of acceptance.

Who runs off with what? But there's no taking away of the chosen experience while it is given a negative identity from which a mind unlike source nature unfolds in compulsion to survive or overcome a dictate it does not recognize its own.

Trapped by the attempt to escape a falsely framed experience - but which nonetheless truly affords Experience that is chosen and - in time and timing - embraced, re-cognized and re-membered and in a sense yes - decoded or translated 'back' into its original.

This is anything but a call for stasis or regression. Creation is by Nature an extension or gift - "Behold I make all things new".  But to a grasping identity in image and form this is no gift but a curse to escape or shut down into a private mind of exclusive dictate!

What we dedicate, or use the gift for is not only 'our reward' it is our sharing on. To share the gift of refusal to receive and embrace - for the sake of a private 'creator' - is to give true power to the idea of creating isolation and dissociation in dissonance - within an illusion of power. But with all of the power we give it.

The idea of illusion may suggest something without substance that one can ignore. But the force of desire and intent given the illusion of self-segregation is perhaps likened to a 'Big Bang' or indeed an 'Expulsion from and loss of Paradise; of Communioned being'. The 'Fall'' posits a narrative of guilt feared and projected away. The Grand Project. The 'Bang' posits impersonal objective distance of 'billions of years' in place of Creative Existence and effectively air-brushes Consciousness from the scene.

But Consciousness - in its original quality is the All, is the being of any and all within All. But a mutually agreed redefinition of consciousness into terms of the personality structure of belief, emotion and act, sets a control boundary on what is acceptable as 'me' that likewise redefines the 'shadow' of denied self - and seems to 'exist' in opposition to it - and therefore in opposition to the restoring or healing to wholeness of being.

The art of 'living in both worlds' at once comes from yielding the control mentality idea to the Consciousness Being. Which is surrendering only to true - instead of attempting to determine and assert power from an out-of-true perspective.  So first is the release of what seems or seemed to an open willingness or receptivity - within the movement of the natural desire - or in willingness to reconnect to awareness of the rising of true desire - which is simply what you recognize to be aligned with who you feel and know yourself to be - rather than who you are told or have told yourself you should be - and may be characterised by a quality of connected joy that may or may not associate with that term - but is a truly Felt Quality of Being rather than a private think. Then whatever you are doing, you are living from who you are and your presence gifts the world. Whether others pick up on that is a matter of resonance - but you will meet a different 'world' through presence than the world of mis-timings and mis-alignments that are forever seeming promising and disappointing until wearying the game of the candle.

Thinking Alone?

"We are Alone!" said one to another

#1

Thinking alone - is a choice not to join with. But such thoughts still share and join with everything of a like frequency - generating experience of a world of isolated combatants in a world of separate 'things'. 'A lead role in a cage'. If that is where you current desire is - then that's where you defend - but if you ever question where your thoughts  are coming from and whether they speak for who you really are - then there is always another way to look at the Life that is all that is here - regardless how you look on it. I don't have that sense of Life as boring 'oneness' because Its experience of Itself is Infinite.

The richness, complexity and depth of feeling in being alive and awake has nothing to do with boring - and oneness is very much misused by private lonely thinking to escape 'negativity' which is nothing to to with a unified sense of who you feel and know yourself to be in any and every moment.

The direction I attempt to illuminate, is of escaping from a false imprisonment. Thoughts are within what Mind is - not outside or apart from it. But it is possible to BELIEVE thought to be separated off and different - and run with it and make a self on it - which HAS to defend itself from What Is - while locked into its exclusivity.

I'm not suggesting a wrongness or sin in choosing to think in secret - but that a real choice has to be aware of what the choice is between to BE a choice. The sense of self that protects its power to deny, withhold and segregate does not allow awareness of anything that exposes its true relationship.

This is what we are making a world of; denial, suppression and a lonely sense of 'power'. It is a complex mind-trap that has terror and rage in its imprint - but which is healed in laughter. But the laughter is a gift of true perspective.

Life is already a gift. The meanings we give to it are the thoughts and beliefs we choose to accept. But until we wake up to our true response-ability - we run on the meanings that are imprinted and conditioned - as if they are fixed, locked in and unquestionable.

I'm not trying to change your or anyone's mind - but reflecting within the dream that you Are Mind  in act of focus - and that - at that level you have freedom and perspective to transform your experience and relationship with Everything - and it is challenging, exciting and enlivening. It is your life - and your gift to live it that automatically shares - or creates a different world. But of course if you take the words at the surface form and try to fit them into the caged mind - it will turn out to be meaningless bullshit like everything else in a meaningless mindset.

How can you use the term 'we' as alone?
Nothing is alone, but the wish to experience an independent capacity of self-experiencing can run as the belief it is.
Location is a variable within the total idea of what something is - therefore changing the location is a change of focus - not a result of a 'moving' object.

The physical mind translates everything (translatable) into linear space time terms of experience. That's its function. But the non physical is not translatable. Everything in physical mind can serve the alignment and integration of that mind in 'Mind' or it can be used to serve a segregative sense of self with its disconnected and isolated sense of itself and the struggle for power that is its origin and nature - but not a true foundation.

Opening to Non Local Consciousness can and often does feel like a violation to the segregated self sense. This will rebalance where balance is sought.

Wherever a breakthrough of true relational Consciousness occurs, the segregative movement operates to cover, subvert, divert and redefine.

It is simply up to you to accept the meaning you give it - because it has no meaning in and of itself until your definition identifies meaning for you.

Everything - the Universe within and without, witnesses to the meaning you accept for yourself. A separate disconnected mind meets a world of separate disconnected things. I don't imply mere concept meanings painted over, but the template of consciousness by which meanings are felt, experienced and evolved and unfolded.

Unconditional Acceptance

Grey said:  

Interesting words…but is God’s love truly unconditional? Not according to scripture. There are things that our Creator expects from us, the “Thou shall not” list found in the ten commandments. How many bodies can one leave behind and still be forgiven by our Creator? Unconditional love? I don’t think so, unless our understanding (ancient Hebrews; Abraham) of Him is totally wrong.

There are many ways I can respond to that. But perhaps I will use Trauma and Healing to illustrate a point. Humanity experienced catastrophic trauma – a result of which was a sense of in some way having brought wrath or evil upon themselves – whatever way their minds went with it, the result is a deep Imprinting of Terror and Rage that conditioned our minds in such a sense of reality. The persona or tribe that seeks to survive and prevail – the survivors of Trauma who feel Chosen – are not open to the Idea of God as love – but to an Idea of Power that destroys and yet CAN save – if – you don’t step out of line.

While the individual imprint is evident in anyone’s experience of traumatic events as the splitting off of a fragment of thought in attempt to escape intolerable stress, the collective response carries the social organisations of giving rage power to use terror as a weapon over one’s own – as Notional Security ie: these acts and sacrifices are held necessary for the survival of the notional self/tribe/nation. This imprint has not evolved since it was burned into experience. Such is the mind born of fear – which is a false creation within the Mind created in God’s Likeness – ie: Creative Individuality.

If you want you can read the Commandments as implicit to abiding in true co-creativie resonance rather than as a social ordering. There is Nothing But God and worshipping imaged definitions of Indivisible Reality as if they are God will seem to make an Otherness and conflict within You – a sense of having got something at another’ expense, a sense of Other threatening to take it back; a sense of lack – in short the whole Fall or Separation experience.

“If you go there, a sense of un-reality will reverse the true with the false and you will hurt yourself in the attempt to reconcile them”.
Everything that is experienced is Felt in Consciousness and that is far far more than the tiny focus allowed a mind ‘inside’ a body and operating within the confines of its dictate. In that sense your whole life is already received as riches of a kind your thinking precludes from your appreciation – but unless you stop turning away from living relationship into the posture and imposture of asserted independence from the very Life that sustains you – you wont recognize the Life though it is all around you.
The translation of everything that SEEMS to be or have been, to an unqualified Acceptance in truth is a ‘Mercy’ beyond our understanding – but not our acceptance. The human conditioning is of a PAST made in anger imposed upon the presence as a present in terms of the past. That’s another way of saying we re-enact separation trauma over and over – without GETTING IT! – Without recognizing the distortion of the Creative and sweeping it out of the Template.

You may think that without guilt and fear – you or indeed society – would run off the rails and chaos would follow. That’s the nature of fear-based ‘control’ and it believes its own thought true. You can read Jesus as an Invitation to wake out of that sacrificial conditioning – for which there is no punishment – though all sense of ‘punishment’ is within its framing.

Or you can read it as proof and reinforcement of the idea of sacrifice of Love as ‘saving’ sinners to survive and prevail within a magical bubble that love will not violate.
The NEED to believe in, and hate and identify against evil, is not what I see in Jesus. He was very aware of the destructive effect of fear-deceits, and in the instant of recognizing a scam – he put it behind him while attending the Living. However, the nature of fear-deceit in our identity is such that I cant simply address this in words and change anything. I can only extend my witness to your willingness to wake out from deceit that MUST be operating if your sense of yourself and world is conflicted.

“How is it I am deceived?” If this is a genuine desire in your heart – then whether you call it prayer of not it will align you with the information you need in a timing and a manner you can accept – one step at a time – and in terms of Life – that expand or stretch your current definitions of communication and relationship – to let more Life in!

There is much revelation of deceit in the ‘ways of our world’ that is deeply disturbing to a sense of sanity, stability or continuity. To the manipulator, this works to unsettle and herd or farm an outcome. To the awakener is opens the way of uncovering the very self-same devices our own consciousness employs in maintaining a false or oppositional definition of sanity, stability and continuity upon the Life that is not allowed to embody and fruit in its true nature.

The idea of the Holy Spirit – is of your re-integrative recognition and acceptance to your Whole Original Mind – and as such is nothing more than your true signature quality – held in trust within you while your attention is engaged in a ‘divide and rule’ by which your ‘signal’ or channel of communication is adulterated, diluted, usurped, robbed, lost, lusted for and taken over by reversals of true desire that use your own power against yourself by unrecognized deceit.

If you want to be the one to send another, hell – then you will have to be the one to release yourself from what you establish in yourself by giving it. For what you give out is what you get back. As you sow so shall you reap. Garbage in, garbage out. The innate Nature and Law of Mind is unchangeable. Everything changes – but your experience of this unfolding Meaning is according to the gifts you accept and extend – for yours is such power – even to unfold a meaninglessness that is hateful to you. You can have what you choose – but unless you align with what you truly want – you wont know your own choice and wont know you can change it.
You have to OWN the ‘mistake’ of learning by experience so as to release it into a corrected perspective. That is how life works when you let it. Repentance in Jesus was not about sin – it was about IMMEDIATELY getting back on track and not looking back. The ‘world’ subverted that to be all about sin with the goal to be achieved in some future that NEVER comes. You do get that, don’t you. It never comes – and that is the deceit by which to SEEM ‘spiritual’ while bullshitting yourself – and of course trading a subverted ‘version’ of a simple effective understanding.

The Idea of G-d – “I Am, That I Am” was so Powerful and Awesome an Idea to the ancient Hebrew tradition that only the chief priest, on the day of the Holy of Holies, in the Holy Place at the back of the Holiest Temple – would utter the Name out loud!

Is that not the hiding of the “Holy Spirit” in a “safe place” from corruptions of the sinful sense of compulsive deceit? Is it not the hiding FROM the true by making it Special and Other – so as to protect the sinful or wrong-feeling sense of compulsive deceit while mitigating its payload of fear and guilt?

I am living in different times now – I feel this is the time to separate from that which separates us from our true Life – and not look back – or bind unto a mind of denial in the illusion of power that is blind to the power of illusion. I don’t feel to persuade anyone of what is not the Will. That didn’t work — it backfired! I do feel to illuminate the nature of the ‘choice’ as a current responsibility. For in a conscious awareness of the true nature of the choice – there is no choice but Life – and the ‘other’ falls off as meaningless and of no relevance or use. So you might see that the Framing of deceit is to divert attention to choices – all of which – maintain the lack of free awareness in which to SEE.

The loss of a true self-acceptance is the loss of HONESTY. It is your Foundation and no holy bullshit will substitute for the Real You. But in living the genuine presence of you – you can see that what is used as a mask of manipulation – has original true meaning. You don’t have to use the same terms – but you don’t have to give all such communications to the degraded use of them either.

The ‘Way to truth’ is as simple as answering the knock on the door. If you want a complex and painful process before you let it in – you can use time that way too. It’s up to you.

(Hang on I’m busy. Not now – cant you see I’m busy! In a minute – I have to sort this out first…. Another day – I’ve got a lot going on here! Go Away! I cant deal with this now! This is the last thing I need! Fuck off or I’ll call the police! Doctor, I have these symptoms that I cant get rid off… what? I have to take this for the rest of my life?).

Raw Life and pastuerisation

Whoever it was that brashly asserted rights to freedom from any oppression of the state etc drew this response from me


More exactly - he (Trump - but that's beside the point) knowingly or unknowingly works for a subverted or captured state - that operates more like cancer than a true state of cooperative communication.
It never gets us anywhere to focus on personalities - nor on transhuman personalized concepts such as corporations or state and its agencies. The root of the sickness is deeper than the diversionary tactics thrown up to keep it hidden in perpetual conflict - that brings on death in more ways than is obvious within such conflictedness.
The denial of Life is so built into our mindset - that we are mostly not aware it operates through us. We feel 'right' or 'protected' in the assertion of power over Life - but don't see it that way - for we judge all that does not fit our concept of Life - our self Image - as something to deny, suppress, ignore, invalidate, kill, hate, and be shameful or hateful in.

There is Raw Life that is presencing Itself right where you/we are - but the mind operates on top of it and as a result has a false, fearful and guilt-ridden sense of Life.  True Civilisation is awake to and in alignment and communication with what moves us Alive - not an imposed and directed narrative running as a 'matrix' of control managing a demand to protect from 'raw negatives'.

If you are forced to - or forcefully deprived of - ingesting food, drugs, medicine or toxins - then you decide how you are going to define and use that event as part of your experience of who you are... and who you are not.

The 'person' is not in control - and yet its attempt to control brings on the experience of being controlled. If we attract that into our life, it may be illuminating aspects of our own mind that we are blind to.

Perplexity in the 'end-game'

When J said give to Caesar what is DUE and to God what is due. I take it to mean there is a difference of two purposes here that can seem to conflict - but one of them is unconflicted in itself.
If you put your treasure where it is robbed, trashed, corrupted and abused. Stop! Put it where it truly belongs. As Steven Hotho indicates, true worth is something that you can recognize and extend - rather than get from some set of ideas that seem to be what they are not. (Or indeed get from opposing some set of ideas).
What does it profit a man to gain the world if he loses his Soul?
When the 'prodigal' wakes to the true nature of his wretched condition - he regains a freedom of perspective from which to re-evaluate a mind that before he was too busy living. It was a mind of independent private authority - ie: the will to power.

It is hard to articulate this in words because identity confusion is so profound.
If you choose to accept that your life is but a futility in an evil or insane malevolence - then those thoughts are enacting such a purpose upon your consciousness and will bring forth fruit accordingly. THIS is where I see you as being in control or rather in relationship with Thought Itself. Not control over fixing outcomes - but in being on purpose as to what thoughts you are accepting by living from.
Nothing turns out to be what it seemed and the sense of loss and disturbance is profound. I don't know where you live - but if you can get out into Nature - someplace where the surroundings of sight smell and sound help to harmonise and touch in at a wordless thoughtless level.

Loss of true context leads to crazy thinking. You cant change what you are unwilling to own in yourself, and when you have owned crazy thinking in yourself - you wont want to use it to change it - but from a deeper place, life aligns in different ways - if you let it, hang in with and stay in a place of honouring it. Lies are also used as a kind of protection against what one simply cannot face. Compassion is different from sympathy. Unless we open to allow a self-acceptance, we operate on a hidden self-denial - which is another word for lies. You ARE having the time of your life! - but the quality of your unfolding experience depends on what you are choosing to use it for. Lies falsely frame the sense of options available. Curiosity is willing to revisit ideas and beliefs that DID serve you to some extent but now do not serve you. This can be seen as a chore under compulsion, or an exciting adventure! There is always a choice in operation - and so there is always a potential to recognize the active choice and thus HAVE choice in whether to persist in it or focus in some other idea that is more aligned with who you now feel and know yourself to be - BECAUSE of having this feedback of dis-appointment.

Life in Earth or nightmare enslavement

In reply to Alex vandenBerg:

... In your view, Do you think humanity will ultimately be enslaved under a nightmarish, Orwellian technocratic world government? Or will we avert disaster?

https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2016/03/02/trump-why-the-elite-media-were-completely-wrong-about-his-chances/#comment-151405

We can all learn from noticing rather than reacting - even amidst the energetic of reaction. That seems a tall order - but there is no other hope I can offer humanity than to wake in place - amidst whatever is actually moving and own it. Not use it for blame - but open a self-acceptance in place of whatever thinking is invalidating you - regardless if it seems to be an 'others' it is still our own joining and acceptance of it that cuts us.

You are the unique expression of your own answer to this question.
What do you want? It is easy to say you don't want slavery and disaster while persisting to act in the ways that invite it. To say you are powerless and that you don't make any difference.

The trap is to let a fear of the negative become your working definition or driving force. If you are constantly focusing in and feeding the idea of want you DONT want  then nothing of what your heart truly desires can reach you - and still less move you to act forth in your world in a way that can be genuinely met.

If there were both these realities splitting off from this timing - which bus are you currently on?
Make sure you are at one with your choices and then whatever unfolds will meet and reflect the true of you.

No time like the Presence

Time's Arrow
We think space and time are the structure of the universe. But are they simply human fantasy? 

At IAI.tv on the nature of time...


This is written for pre-verbal recognition - so if you are interested - let the stirrings of recognition be the guide rather than sacrificing the new life to an idol of a god that does not feel to know or know to feel.

If "The present is nothing but a border between the past and the future" is asserted, accepted and believed, then living presence is effectively usurped and denied by a disconnected 'mind' in concept. Living presence embraces and includes the capacity to focus in concept and have a seemingly split off experience that neglects full presence to attend  in specific and exclusive focus - and identify 'self' in the maintaining of such focus as if only the specific extension of attention is one's being and all else is 'other' or indeed invisible as a result of the filtering and distorting lens of self-concept.

The construct of such differentiating perspective operates as a template of translation whereby the  movement or unfolding of the innate qualities of being are filtered through the primary lens of self-concept or definition to a conflicted and fragmented reflection of a conflicted sense of self - because  exclusive identity in self-image or concept can only generate  a counterpoint to the wholeness of an infinite or non-exclusive appreciation or knowing of being.
Existence includes the extension and recognition of awareness of existence. They are not two. The awareness is not cold, disconnected and differentiating. That is the mind of judgement which is associated with rejection and exclusion that seeks to relate only in terms of its own survival identity rather than to uncover the movement of being in the relationship itself.
All possible pasts and the futures are 'within' Infinite Perspective or timelessness which is not something to wrap a mind around without losing the recognition of self that does not call itself self because it is simply without otherness. "Wrapping a mind around" is in concept according to the definitions that feel resonant to the movement of being that any extension or expression of Life recognizes itself in. The experiencing or feeling of dissonance can be used as a counterpoint for a personal sense of choice between the polarities of freeflowing and limitation - and this sense of power has its foundation in the loss of Presence to an oppositional conflict. This generates a sense of a past in which Everything Changed. From this past - reacted to, accepted and believed - is the present derived or at least its framing is derived. And the framing is change by which light of feeling awareness and presence of unconflicted wholeness is re-defined as Threat, Exclusion and Abandonment and this was lost, usurped or denied. The Fall or Separation - is a breakdown of Communication and not an actual change - excepting of Perspective - from which all else automatically follows in like kind.
For the survival urge of the identity in concept and in form, the future is the persistence of the original intent - so that all that unfolds to awareness is framed in or subverted to serve the framing of the past - as the believed power to control (effect change of outcome on) Life. This momentum of limitation and division works to exhaust the capacity to maintain the capacity to feel and know a life within such perpetual and increasingly futile and meaningless struggle - and so the structure of the defences around maintaining self-concept from change of loss weakens and exposure occurs, breakdown occurs, disease and dysfunction occur. Contrary to the deepest fears of the ego-sense of self, the reconnect to being is not damning or hell-inducing - though the fears themselves are!
But reveal a true foundation in place of the false - a true presence felt and known in which an unconditional embrace of what one truly is - becomes the basis for un unfolding of future into presence terms - as a reintegrative movement of being. The synchronicities that are inherent to Remembering a greater and more embracing perspective are also the remembrance of the timelessness that is always timely - unless timed out in a past and future that have no real relevance to who you truly feel and know yourself to be.
I've run out of time so this is therefore complete!

Belief and the Gods: Is belief in the divine a fantasy?

Belief and the Gods: Is belief in the divine a fantasy?

The above discussion at IAI.tv prompted my response:

Underneath all of this is simply the nature of belief. There are those who believe their reality is NOT belief but provable. The dominant reality paradigm operates invisibly at a level that is simply assumed and acted out from as if self-evident. Where is this self?
Self-definition is the act through which all else follows - and is not the superstructure of personality identity strategy, but the template out of which the experience of a self-and-world arises to the focus within its theme ideas.
Conscious beliefs may be easily shown to be incongruent with actual behaviour. This indicates the juggling in consciousness of conflicting beliefs, and this in turn indicates conditionings by which who one feels to be and who one embodies as a relational presence are split or held apart.
This core split is deep in the human conditioning of all of us and so is 'invisible' - whilst being the most fundamental act from which all else cascades as ways to self-validate or self-justify - indeed prevail and persist or survive within the terms set by the original trauma or imprint by which consciousness 'split' as a result of a sense of overwhelm and inadequacy, into conflicted parts that play out at a shadow level or unconsciously - as well as on a surface level as presentation and domination of narrative - ie: judgement and the power to assert it.
Before one can begin, one needs perspective of free curiosity. Beliefs that block or deny such curiosity are indicative of the controlling denial aspect of the survival sense. To open these to transformation or evolving to less and less obstructive beliefs is not the realm of assertive and controlling judgement - but of honest insight free of the shaming blaming 'righteousness' of self-superior belief grown off of invalidating the other.
To try to communicate idea as a battle - no matter how intellectually posed - is a nonsense. Though a willingness for relationship can cut through any nonsense. A genuine relationship is not a set of rules that one imposes on another by which to be acceptable or valid. Such beliefs operate to make sure intimacy of Idea does not occur! For true Consciousness is Divinely and Already Presence - and we let into such a Living Fact in willingness or persist in the belief in a self that determines what definitions of reality-testing-experiencing are real and enforces them as a private mind.
The belief in a private mind is shared by all excepting lovers who feel and move within and as a wholeness of being - not split and not defined by symptoms of split. This is not a matter of belief - though belief can work against recognition. It is a matter of recognizing, owning and moving past belief to a quality of being that cannot be defined so as then to be an object of belief. But that the Ideas that are then called forth, accepted, and acted out or embodied, will be given full belief without making a private assertion of personal power from the movement. And so will not be in conflict with any other aspect of the whole. So there is no lack from which to seek proof or validation in order to get something - because one is fully engaged in embracing and embodying the life that is revealing or uncovering itself as you - with everyone.
This  - written out - seems whatever it seems - but the writing is a pointer to something that is discoverable beneath the appearances we take for real - for whatever reasons and without judgement or blame for those reasons - for they worked in bringing you here - to this appreciation.

From Jesuit conspiracy to consider the root of all evil.

Beneath all specific examples is the lie and the father of the lie. The wolf in sheep's clothing is the form that is adopted or used to mask a hidden loveless agenda. Be that even the salvation of the person because the sense of self apart from God and brother or sister in Christ (Creation) is born of the wish to engage in experience of such 'specialness' apart from the Whole. Fragmentation, war and a mind in deceit results from self-illusion. That then claims it has free will from God rather than putting the false aside in willingness to discern Free Will. Free Will cannot be put in the 'old wine bottle' of the paradigm of a conflict of persons - which reflects the conflictedness within.
The moneylenders in the Template are symbolic of the interjection of guilt and fear driven agenda within our foundations - within our core definitions and beliefs by which we have and share our unique gift of Life.
The purpose of conflict is to divert, condition and trap or anchor attention, within the Idea of a power God is not. It makes itself seem to be true by asserting God in image, symbol and Concept - and experiences itself dissonant as a result of seeking to maintain and conform its experience to its accepted or chosen Identity - and identity imprinted in guilt and terror - as the power of belief is the power of the word, and to believe a power God is not is contra Diction or the power to deprive and hurt oneself.

In seeking to untangle the threads of deceit in the history of the Earth, one can always go back further to see the same pattern. Will uncovering the true nature of worldly power open the truth that heals and shows us we are free? Not if it pulls us into the baited conflict of deceit. However, the world can be used to identify the flaw in our self that is overlooked while righteously blaming and hating others. Not a flaw that damns us - but a flaw to seek correction of.

Christ could not awaken humanity to the truth he was witnessing to, demonstrating and teaching, in large part because the mind was not ready to receive more than its own measure. Guilt and fear were and are a very deeply imprinted conditioning that necessarily interprets through a glass darkly - seeking answer for the mind in the world rather than recognising one truly lives in God and not the fragmented, distorted projections of a mind in its own spin.

"Resist ye not evil" is very dear to my heart. But so is the discernment of truth and the willingness to turn away from falsehood and put it away or behind me BY wholly embracing the true.

Humanity has become negatively identified in what it is trying to get rid of, or in what it is afraid of. But fear is a self-fulfilling prophecy because what we feed with attention, we strengthen, invite and attract. to be mindful as to the qualities and nature of our thoughts is to be vigilant against temptation. The a tempt to be apart as if above Life in judgement is the secret deceit that humanity tacitly conspires to protect from exposure using religion or science or any form of anything that it may hide it to escape notice.

That we see this patterning in our world is our readiness to discern it in our own mind - and know that it does not speak for us nor represent the true of us. Not wish or hope it is not true of us but knowing. It is given you to recognize truth because Free Will created you like unto your Father and has never left you - regardless the intensity of assertion of pain, shame or rage that denial has generated.

I do not claim to be right against a wrong - I simply bear witness in willingness of relationship. No one is to come between what God creates or awakens to knowing Creation. And so my 'church' is relationship itself rather than any outer form. This must be received within and extend forth. All outer forms become corrupted and diluted by misuse or indeed abuse.

Guilt is the antiChrist that would usurp God and Self and corrupt and subvert all to a 'control' in which true will has NO place. Will-less-ness is a state of no Conscious Presence - a kind of death in which no will can be called upon because it has been replaced by the lifeless definitions by which it is denied. Few realize they are even being robbed until they wake to see they had put their trust in idols that have no power to love or protect them.

To say that God loves us as we are is to say that when we insist on being who we are not, we withhold the gift of our true presence and experience the reflection of that in a broken and distrustful world. Any attempt of will to add or take away from ourself is adding confusion to confusion. However, we are free to desire a clearer appreciation or perspective of who we are and what is truly going on in this event or place or relationship. But the wilful determination to overcome or solve something on our own - in our terms, is not a true will but an imprisoned will - which is not a Fact in God but a definitional thought disorder!


PS

I looked up Arminian... (Re Protestant ideas of Christianity) the thing that comes up for me is noticing the intent to fix truth in form and sanctify and idolize the form. Even that has its place - for some order must be held in which to gain a greater perspective. However Jesus fulfils and transcends the Law of Moses - which were made for Man - in the divine sense of Humanity. Not for some men to subvert into a perpetual system of dominance over others through deceit.
We have the same command and control mentality in using 'truth' as a weapon or war in Science - and that science either but the usurping of the desire to uncover truth (albeit ignoring the Consciousness of the movement of being in which all experience arises).
The Holy Spirit is the capacity - our innate capacity - of discernment. One could say Jesus is the Personification of the Holy Spirit and left it with us because his life illuminated and exemplified it as our own true Nature.
There are so many way that one accommodates a true movement of willingness to meet the form of the need - but one does not elevate the accommodation to the status of Truth just because it was truly helpful in its moment.
God is the Only Power - but if that cannot be meaningfully useful, then such of God's remembrance as can be accepted has to find a way to enter where there is apparently no room... and that infant be nurtured and indeed kept hidden until its time to come forth.

Desire, Dreams and Happinness - can we ever arrive?

Desire, Dreams and Happinness - can we ever arrive?
An IAI debate

While seemingly open to a wider range of ideas, the IAI approach still operates from presumptions that then frame the question.
The presumption of lack, be it inadequacy, separation or incompletion, becomes the basis of a false sense of self that is no more true for being mutually reinforced. Happiness actually comes first and extends and expresses itself as desire that then unfolds as an experience or reflection of completion. One is always arising anew from wholeness. The identification within a belief in self lack is being chosen and enacted and experienced as part of a greater desire whose meaning is an unfolding human being - which is infinitely more than our self concepts. One can say that exploring what is NOT true of you and does NOT fulfil your innate desire for love and life and happiness is part of the journey you have chosen whereby to more clearly recognize and re-member who you truly are. There is no sense of lack in your true presence - unless of course you choose to be less than the wholeness of what is You right here and now. But then you are experiencing your wholeness in a fragmented and dissociative way and not recognizing your Self at all!
Love is the true joy and freedom of being yourself. In any situation or relationship where you feel and allow the permission to be all that you are in that moment - you will feel loved and loving. Fantasy relationships substitute for actually extending that acceptance and freedom to another - which is the only way to have it yourself. The substitution of fantasy associations for living presence is self-deprivation. Struggling to defend a fantasy that reflects only your own sense of lack is chasing an idol of power or completion from the conviction you do not already have it and so give your power away to external props that do not know or care for who you truly are.
In a sense EVERYTHING is Imagination - but some thoughts, definitions and beliefs are more in accord and alignment with the core signature vibration that you absolutely recognize as YOU, so to align with and follow your joy is to connect with your joy to the best of your ability in every moment when you are presented with a choice. This is simple embodying and expressing a genuinely felt or true sense of worth. Why would you NOT align with your joy? What are you believing about yourself that invalidates you? Is it true? Does it serve you? Do you want it? Act from your current knowing while staying in the willingness to know more. or you can just talk and think about everything and act as if nothing you say actually means you have allow the transforming of who you thought you were

Why is there something rather than nothing?

Why is there something rather than nothing?
This the title of an IAI debate 

In a sense the question is meaningless because it is saying why - or to what purpose or for what reason, Existence? - without taking account that a purpose is already in motion within which the capacity to ask such a question is itself an answer - but not in the terms of the framing of the question but to the purpose operating beneath or behind the presumptions and self-definitions of the questioner.
However, there are fruits or consequence to every thought accepted and given focus, and one can readily see that our current experience is selected from infinite possibilities and such choices are either spontaneous or seemingly conditioned. "Go forth and multiply" can be said of what you think, what you attract and invest in and what fruits you bring forth. It is the extension of Life in purpose of 'Know Thyself', yet in our human consciousness we largely tend to identify or try to identify with what we are NOT. In trying to be what we are not we forget the wholeness of unified expression that we are. Fearful and guilt-ridden self definition operate such forgetting - within which truth is denied by assertions of self-judgement believed and reacted to as true. Within this confusion of identity the feared truth drives a search for truths that protect or empower the limiting of fear. These operate to redefine and limit the mind so as to seem to be an independent authoritative will or power in one's own right - but beset by threat, adversity and opposition.
Anyway - that preamble was not in my comment on the page but the following is:

THAT anything exists.THAT anything Is - is the most primary Fact that remains TRUE regardless of what it is defined or imagined or believed to be.
That Awareness OF THAT anything Is - is integral to all and every experience of all or any definition, imagination or belief. And the nature of awareness itself is One in All and All are in the One.
Whatever definition, imagination or belief is extended or accepted and acted out from as true of you will be the measure of what you get back. This is always true, but can seem not to be true within the belief that you can get or become more as a result of making someone else less. It is this idea of segregative division that estranges humanity in general from the Communion implicit in the first two truths above.
To know your own unified purpose is joy - which restores the Communion within the creative expression of the gift of Existence.
Everything changes - EXCEPT the first three truths which are simply the nature and function of Mind - within which is all reflected idea known; experienced, shared and forever unfolding anew.
This is another way of saying:
'there is no God but God'.
God is All in All.
As you sow, so shall you reap,
And God Moved upon the 'Waters'
But the idea 'God' has come to mean separate from your any moment - and especially you, or coercive upon 'His' Creation rather that One with, and removed from and irrelevant to Creation (The extension and sharing of the Gift of Existence), which is to such thinking a material objective INDEPENDENT existence. BUT never has a moment of such ever been discovered or known in any way whatsoever - because it can only be known within a consciousness of such structural definitional beliefs as to be experienced in such terms.
The extending of the definitional belief of an INDEPENDENT existence - is reflected in a world of seemingly INDEPENDENT things. Seeking truth or completion or wholeness in a world of ever changing things is looking in the only place where it is not Obvious.
I write to extend what resonates true of me - and yet recognize truth is beyond all definition - and yet a less and less filtered and distortive lens affords a clearer recognition. The mind-layer we tend call consciousness is a device within a larger Consciousness. It does not control or contain the whole but it can serve as a channel through which Consciousness knows itself in the extension and reflection of truly shared experience.

I acknowledge Bashar in this communication - whose information is often profoundly simple yet practical to a readiness to receive it - regardless the packaging it comes in.

Consciousness Responsibility

Most of my more public writing has moved to the 'willingness to listen' blog, where it reflects on news articles and human behaviours in the light of Consciousness.

Definitions 'program' what we often take to be our mind. Operating out-from them and within the 'reality' they result, is the nature of our human experience.
But mind is not limited by its 'limitations' for it is by nature edgeless and timeless apart from the act of focussing and identification within idea.

So we may become aware of our 'template' definitions - whether by virtue of self-enquiry and creative joyful expression, or whether by the experience of intolerable discord arising from a conflicted sense of self that can no longer remain disguised by projection and denial.

Current 'news' articles provide the reflections of a conflict that comes ever closer home - for the resonances and relevances to our own foundational living cannot be ignored - at least not without ever deeper sacrifice of joy to fear's tyranny.

Awakening to the layers of mind that operate as our conception and perception experience, is part of the integrative realignment within Consciousness. I often refer to this as Consciousness responsibility. The word ‘conscious’ has been devalued - for who in their so called waking life doesn't  consider themselves conscious?

Consciousness is that quality by which we have or know or be conscious of anything whatsoever. Defining consciousness in terms of specific functions limits our appreciation of Life to the idea such functions represent or embody. But Consciousness serves the innate law of “Know Thyself” - for as you sow, so shall you reap. This is not really a time concept, for the reward of ‘self/experience’ is immediate. True giving is its own reward But the idea of getting at the expense of another is the idea of fragmentation and attack of one’s own Indivisibility.
“What you give out is what you get back”. Ingenuity can contrive illusion whereby one seems to get something different and thereby give differently than consciousness actually is.
That is another way of saying we can accept a definition or image of self that is false, limiting and conflicts with the true.
By the word that proceedeth from our own mouth (mind) are we corrupted.
Such are definitions or self-beliefs that are not true of us - and which actively cost the appreciation and sharing of what is true of us, from our split off mind that fears truth will damn it or annihilate it. But it is the split which is undone or healed and a wholeness of aligned being that then replaces a war within oneself.
To know thy purpose is to be like God. Hidden or secret agenda is unlike love. Light is also a term for awareness and is the First awareness of which all else is. This Light is not merely energy, but feeling or knowing, and is thus our true Soul Nature in Spiritual Expression. That darkness of forgetting operates our mind is not our sin, but our call to awaken. Sin is the choice to prefer illusion of private or secret agenda to a true and open relationship. But such choice is ITSELF a fruit of error and not a true result - for it is only as true as you give your truth to it - now and now and now.

Consciousness responsibility recognizes it does not know, having become confused within its own thinking. Therefore it pauses or yields its own thinking to let That which knows - illuminate the true. For the true requires no assertion or defence or justifiction to be itself, but is un-hidden or obvious to a mind at rest - and registers with us as the rising awareness of the movement of being that both moves us and is us. From this we can take this step wholly. Joined with this we have supportive guidance built into our awareness of the situation.

When we accept the thinking that we of ourselves know - we fall under the spell of a confusion of Consciousness within the egocentricity of our personality structure - until we notice that has been operating. Noticing is always the breakthrough of presence or awareness. Welcoming and valuing awareness appreciates or grows it in our lives. Using it to feed a guilt-script densifies and locks in the spell of an isolated loveless existence. But is IS a choice. reclaiming it as a choice allows a different choice. A choiceless choice extends through the acceptance of our freedom to be - for joy is not a choose-between so much as a resonance of relevance to the felt quality of light within.

Reality

Beyond Reality - The Limits of Knowing
Also linked to on iai.tv as the arrogance of knowing?

I felt a desire to essay something on 'reality'. Here it is:


At the root of any apparent conflict is a definition out of true.
If the term reality is accorded to experience - then any and all experience on any kind of any 'level' is a facet of all that reality can be experienced as.

But in order to HAVE an experience, there has to be a definition of oneself in relation to 'something'.

The native experience of anything conceivable or imaginable within awareness, is not in any moment, way, shape or form, different or separate FROM the awareness OF.

Un-separate or unified experience is therefore pure or open or innocent experience prior to any action of self-other differentiation, desire or identification that may arise as mental overlay or lens of a personal sense of meanings upon the pure creation that is the rested nature of Mind-Reflection.

However, crystalizing within the expereince of Otherness or separation - gives rise to the sense of a world outside what is now being defined and accepted and therefore experienced as over and against oneself.

For every action is equal and opposite reaction in Consciousness, but the assertion of attempt to coerce or control what is now defined as 'other' self or otherness of world, reflects back - as every Idea in consciousness reflects back.

The mind in reaction conditions itself by its experience as a mapping and meaning structure or model of reality that substitutes for the direct and spontaneous knowing of unified experience, apparently usurping functions in consciousness to a personal achievement, of discovery, and manipulation or control.

The losing of conscious awarenes of integral being or embrace within unified awareness is the shadow cost of the seeming capacity of independent authorative will, that believes it operates privately upon life as if from a point outside it. And becomes the basis for the fear of losing its private sense of life or self and the guilt of living at the cost of a greater wholeness of shared communication and reflection.

Fear and guilt effectively lock the mind into concrete set patterns of defence that operates in such a way as to displace and dissociate the now split and intolerably conflicted consciousness of identity at war within itself.

The contraction of fear and the denial of awareness and communication of guilt render a frozen consciousness in which eveything is predicated upon the denial of consciousness excepting the trickle of a personal sense of control amidst the crystalisation of limitation in reaction, which is fear directed to look away from the conflict within by projecting its conflict upon the outer of the body, others, the world, and onto Life Itself or God as a sense of a rejecting, disconnecting, abandoning or and unsupporting absence. Which in turn 'justifies' angry and assertive or self-righteous defiance as well as attempts to validate or atone or regain a sense of meaning that such identity/experience of Life no longer shares.

The assertion of a separative idea or intent inherently shuts off communication and support and limits or depletes even as it seems to rise to become a power unto itself. The disntegration of a falsely identified self can only give way to the true, but while framed in the paradign of self-assertive power, will not be recognized, or accepted, but seem to be the proof of power over life in death.

Reintegration of seemingly split mind or self to Consciousness Itself is a matter of willingness to receive as a result of not identifying in reaction of past conditioning.
What may seem to be loss of self to a serving of the whole is in fact a willingess to receive the will of the whole as it resonates and is relevant to the reintegrating and innately joyful or insired purpose that is within the communioned sense of shared existence.

All abilities developed within the mind within its adaption to a time-space continuity of unfolding now serve a different foundation than that of a personal survival amidst fear and guilt defined conditioning. Giving forth a whole or inspiring quality of being within the forms of relations in the world draws forth a different response. Despite all appearances to the contrary, the consciousness itself is transformed via the re-exposure of denied fear and guilt that in willingness, are released and replaced with more fluid and open definitional structure of belief until the flow of creative spontanaity is balanced as a flow of relational being within the experience of consciousness within Consciousness. Some differentiation is part of remaining in the physical focus, but the expansion of that focus as fear is released and joy embrace reveals ever more of a true reflection of the reality of who it is you as this unique expression, have in effect chosen or accepted to be.

The reality of all that is, is infinite in all and every sense and not just in material/energetic dimension. Mind is without limit of ANY kind and so what can be known is ONLY of That and yet as a unique relation of the part and parts in the whole and the whole in the part/s.

Arriving at the understanding that we cannot understand reality or totality opens the way to understanding what we need to understand, when we need to understand it relative to the movement of being as it resonates and is relevant to the themes that effect a facet of specific focus, within an All At Once or timeless and Infinitely expanding totality, for although there is nothing OUTSIDE existence into which to expand, the fundamental nature of Creation is open or free BECAUSE there is no limiting factor of otherness and is therefore free to create along any line of thought by extending through Idea within itself.

Everything is Consciousness. Belief can align to share or extend it or imagine itself differentiated. The only 'difference' to true is false, to awareness is forgetting, to life is death. A false binary operates the foundation of what we define as a mind-matter split. However the true-awareness-life exists in and of itself, but the false-forgetting-death depends on choosing NOT to know by identifying in the belief one knows in place of actual yielding to the condition of knowing.

Withholding life is not survival, apart from others, but it can be a framework of a particular kind of experience in which to clearly know what you are NOT. This then is a portal to Remembering the reality of what you ARE - which is beyond all definition as is the reality of everything and everyone. Yet true alignment or relation to the Infinite identifies you perfectly as integrally one with and part of all that is.

Determining reality operates the either/or mentality of self segregating assertion, One may determine what one feels and believes to be and thus embrace that experience of reality by so doing, and share that into Consciousness by living it - but one does not establish reality for anyone else excepting within one's own virtual personae of them. Mutual agreements seem to determine reality and find the evidences that serve as validation. But below the believed experience of self certainties is an Infinitely more alive nature and condition that forever shifts and changes the very consciousness with which one sets up such structures.

This is Good News - although that which attempts to become comfortable within its own determinations will not see it so. Life is ever anew and ever renewing and this is also our experience of every moment of our existence insofar as we do not take Life for granted or become too busy managing fragmented complexity to notice and feel the wondrous.
