Living From Wholeness - A Shift of Perspective

in response to the themes in:

I appreciate your response, but I am not writing from the predicates that are - to my understanding - the frame from which the problem is built-in - and this is why the reader's mind of such a conditioned or habitual presumption is not fed. It simply cannot translate into the old wine bottles and nor is that my desire. But that doesn't mean there is no bridge the the reader's recognition.

Bringing into a mainstreamed attention can indeed popularise ideas in seeking and finding agreement - but then the message is adulterated and diluted into marketing - which doesn't have to be for money - but for validation, self-reinforcement or attempt to lockstep alliances against feared or hated 'others'.

So I rest - truly rest - in the meanings that I share. And yet I am aware they are often very compressed or 'intense' - there's enough in a paragraph sometimes to make a chapter. 

But if a long slow process of adaptation is offered, be sure that the ego - or self-manipulative mind - will learn to pass off as true. That's it job description - and our learned expertise.

The sudden shift of recognition is not the refinements of a 'babylonian structure' of levels by which to define, divide and control - but a direct intuition - without any intermediary to your own being.

The apparent conflict between a 'fear and control mindset' and the direct intuition or felt quality of life is coming up to a head. But it isn't a conflict OUT there - it is our choice, now.

But a choice of priority - not of exclusivity. By all means let us use the mind and systems of control to serve the living. But not to replace it - or there simply is no living.

The dynamic of this pervades everything and so regardless what is or isn't said, the mind of a lockdown self isolating defence against loss of control as if loss of self, is founded on vigilance against love's honesty now - because it represents the weakening or loss of invested defences, identified in emotionally driven and necessary denials, lies and illusions.

No one is going to untangle what we have made WITH the tools or focus that made it.

Aligning in a transparency to presence is the allowing of the undoing of such identity in fear and guilted lock in as we are willing to release.

But all that I am saying gives power to the process of genuine curiosity and sharing in the discovery of healing anything - as bring it back from a specialised isolate to a direct integrality within a wholeness of being.

Witnessing from wholeness must meet the defences (attacks or denials) of the choice for self-isolation under fear's control, but also pass through the temptation to react in like kind and effectively rejoin the reinforcement and witnessing to a crab-barrel world. So I respect our freedom to choose against what we are not ready and willing or moved at all to engage with as long as we own our own decision rather than guilting and blaming others for our attempt to shut down, wall off or eradicate what we are effectively choosing to ignore for our own reasons,

By all means let Shaun move on - but realise that power is known by having already done it.

By all means ask me to limit my input so as not to fill a page with long posts that perhaps few find any movement or moment to alight in. Ask and be answered. Its easy. But it opens relationship - and that is where our fears are already enacted as a pre-emptive judgement that replaces relational freedom with contracts and rules of ritual exchange set in manipulative avoidance.

We were already normalised to a lockdown, social distancing, and conformed compliance and it is already a great strain of death and taxes on our unfolding a shared experience of who we are. It is the human conditioning - regarded as a noun or concrete hardwired fact.

Now, as T.S Elliot offered, "we arrive at our starting place to know it for the first time". How so? Because it was first set in division, fear, confusion of unknowing. Now it is given us to look on from a new point of perspective. Fear's toxic debts cant be 'hidden' by clever accounting and more comes into the open. We might to be retching out what does have a true belonging rather than locking down further into denial. Perhaps the 'Reset' for some may be of the same order, but only as they are willing to accept or choose this for themselves. 

No one can choose for another. But the intent to do so will entangle those we seek to control. if others play along in outsourcing their responsibility as if to escape consequence, there will be a  'joining' for keeping the appearance of a mutual getting device that locks in a parent-child  - and a child-parent manipulation at expense of genuine relationship as the basis for life and growth.

Below is the context.

Sorry Binra

Read that twice & still cant quite grasp your message

Jerome, Can we move on? Whomever this is he /she is a fruitcake. Sorry

I regard your comment as exactly what a disinfo troll would get paid for, by sowing discord, undermining trust and limiting communication under cover of pretended familiarity. It seems to be a habit of yours. If you have something of substance to say – man up and say it.

(Why Malcolm do you give any support to posts of no point but scapegoating smear and incitement to social exclusion? ) 

I include myself by reason of interest and participation in the issues and themes raised. If you are only looking for what gratifies your personal terms and conditions – then you must meet so much to despise in your life and yet take such satisfaction pushing it from your mind.

But your mind is going with it.

The underlying issue behind the covid19 pretext is control of communication.

Masking as a need to protect life – while actually feeding more control to a destructive control agenda. That infantilised and mindless people are induced to suck on and applaud!

If you can show evidence to the contrary, I welcome hearing it. If you want to shut me down then I identify you as that agenda – regardless your presentation of ‘matey’ direction as if the moderator is absent and the inmates can take over the asylum. I’m not saying you cant try. But then you get your results in kind. The same will apply to mad people who try to rule the world.

Now that was easy to understand. Basically, you tend to write in jargon and use what are unfamiliar terms to most people – that’s what is meant by “fruitcake”. If you wrote in plainer language, you’d probably find that most people agree with you or can at least understand what you have to say and comment accordingly

a short follow up to another post by teedee126:

As someone who volunteered for years at a Crisis Centre, I dealt with people on all points of the mental health spectrum, but the one thing that many callers had in common was a feeling of intense loneliness, mainly brought on by the despicable stigmatism against the mentally ill. It was heartbreaking that their families, former friends and coworkers, as well as their own GP’s and sometimes their Psychiatrists, who above all should know better, all made them feel ‘less than’ as a person.I found it despicable to see someone on this thread called a “fruitcake” and dumbfounded as to why the comment was allowed to be posted in the first place. Regardless what any of us think of Binra’s writing, whether we get something of value from it or find it difficult to process in our often tired minds, that was inexcusable and has me questioning a comment I once made about this site being ‘an island of comfort and sanity’ or whatever it was I said. It’s very much a place of favouritism and cliquism in some cases, but why that should disappoint or surprise me is something I’ll have to work out for myself.

At risk of over-commenting - it is how we respond to problems when they come up, that establishes our character or culture - not an ideal of perfect freedom for having them.
I have no axe to grind on my own account but if we don't support the principle of communication, why be surprised when we suddenly find we no longer have it - or feel so self-censored as to lock-down and self-exclude?
See how easily our fears can trigger reaction! I don't mean that in blame to anyone but simply to promote vigilance to pause and consider before acting from our first emotional response. I of course include myself in that invitation.  To be safe we have to honour our current sense of where we choose to be in relation to our world. There is no safety as such in the world. Growing trust together is growing a safety that includes accepting differences, respectfully. If we replace all such (at times messy) process with systems and rules - we can have our problem free robotic world order.
Problems must then be opportunity for growth rather than a way to fund a private agenda at expense of the whole - when we step back from them rather than jump in.

Truth and war

in response to Mr Chris:
David Ferguson is an interesting case of modern news management The story about his private life has been around for a month, suddenly it appears in four right wing newspapers on the same day Secondly all of sudden someone brings to David Davis’s attention an analysis of his model very nicely written, demonstrating that the […]

The ‘TRUTH’ is always the first and *enduring* casualty in politics / war.
– as the wind veers, so do politicians, setting sails to gain future advantage.
Methinks the UK govt dropped the ball at the start, and this is part of ‘catch-up’ …

in response to the themes above:

I hold this basic recognition runs more deeply than is commonly supposed.
IE: it is not a speaking of a world out there - or others - that by engaging war, then kill the truth.

Truth is unconflicted in itself, while conflict is a state of partial of conditional relation of dissonance.

If you want something to be true (in a way) that isn't, as your own way of organising or managing your experience, then you set up a bias or torsion of dissonance, which you can put to one side or set the mind to 'ignore' while pursuing something you want. If you know you are doing this you use the mind as a tool. If you become exclusively invested in the tool you become 'tooled'.

In a sense then we can sacrifice (awareness of) wholeness of being in exchange for a world we (think we) want. Because we can give truth to a partiality or an illusion, we can also suffer it.

Within collectively reinforced illusion, suffered as if true, we have essentially become subjected and controlled by the impulse to subject and control our world. But our experience is not at all as if we do this unto our self, but that what we are taking ourselves to be, (conditioned by experience to accept true of us), is set in struggle or powerlessness of entanglement in polarised reactions that effectively set order or an appearance of balance that is actually stagnant and life-denying, such that the strain or burden undermines the will to live that is our vital capacity of survival and creative growth or life - but actually in expression - not bottled up in virtual rehearsals.

Judgement is the mind of substitution and replacement of truth. It is inherently a mind of limiting, selecting and rejecting, that when applied to the living, divides to rule, and sets the rules of its own rejection and denial. While we invest in the struggle to enforce or conform others or narrative reality to comply to our judgements, we are given to the truth of what we think we want or need, from a past set in separation trauma or war within self. We all have unique and different patterns of loss of love, or subjection to fears, doubts, shames, or hateful sense of inadequacy in regard to the life, family and world we are born into. And we all learn to varying degrees, to insulate or mask over from painful, feared or hated truths that we have taken into our core beliefs without any process of conscious reflection but simply the impulse of love, life and survival. For the impulse of love without self-differentiation, will take on the pains or fears or depression of others as its own and even sacrifice its life in attempt to address the unresolved issues of another - that do not truly belong and are biasing or blocking the true expression of one's life by a belief we have to be what we are not - or not be what we are. This is war set over the truth on its own unique expression, but is experienced as patterns of life that are in effect a script of conditionings that automatically operate from that early core sense of self and world but with more sophisticated strategies of rationale and masking behaviours as a result of learning and adapting a self to its world... and a world to its self.

In practical terms, I hold truth to be discerned - and in truth moves within our awareness as the gift of noticing. Discernment is an acceptance of the whole instead of a pre-processing censor and narrative that rules by ruling out or limiting in order to enforce a negatively maintained bubble of segregation and defence. It is discernment of love's honesty as the true and spontaneous or unselfconscious flow of being that is denied and blocked by fear or conflict given power. This is what results in lockdown, self-isolation, a driven need for allies in 'lockstep' and sacrifice of a commonwealth for a realm of private control, set in defences that need fear and threat as fuel and funding while presenting a narrative front of the emergency of solving them. 

This holds the underlying alloy of love and hate that characterises the human conditioning as a result of seeking to establish love within the 'unfaced or unowned terrain' of the hateful.

And so the reclaiming of our lives must open to and pass through the hateful and the feared so as to address them truly - instead of fight-flight and the freeze or lockdown into a state of displaced identity in a world on which we have cast out not only our denials, but the truth and wholeness of a love that we simply are, that is, and knows itself in being the gift of itself.

War is the first casualty of love's honesty. But we cannot make love and paint it over hidden hates but only set a cruel and hollow parody of life against which opposition seems more virtuous, and gives hate a license to kill. Recognising hate as hurt and locating the hurt in the heart is a discernment not a thinking that seeks to apply itself on a judged hatred.

Fear of loss of face is humiliation, rejection, exclusion and invalidity.  All core facets of separation trauma. The undoing of such a pattern from automatically running is the desire and willingness to be released from its pain of conflict - on all levels of its expression, so as to be truly moved in who we are, what we do, share in, discover and embrace as our experience or part in a whole that holds us integral, connected and connecting, and awake to our responsibility for listening or receiving the gift of noticing, rather than sleep in the mind-habit of a gift we thought to take for ourself alone and apart and special. Uniqueness is the signature of wholeness in all Creation.

Every moment is its own unique expression. The database of past learning is not that which produces the future, but the palette of experience from which we choose. But in order to BE a choice, we must be awake as to what we are choosing between instead of programmed into defaults that are set to old patterns of action that have never been consciously re-evaluated.

Listening will arise naturally from asking a real question. The willingness and desire to know runs counter to the invested beliefs of a set mind, narrative identity or established thought system. Hence we are liable to ask pseudo questions that are really statements of self reinforcement in the form of a question, or maskings in the form of love or concern, such that the forms of mutually agreed meanings operate their own hidden code and effectively dictate or set the rules for an officially sanctioned reality - within which are every kind of polarised struggle, and yet all of which operate in unison against the recognition and witnessing of truth - whose movement reveals  meaning as extending, expanding and integrating of all that it is. While all that is not, is already released, or not here - without any process of demonisation denial or masking over.

The creative is the infinite potential to alight in. And patterns of consciousness that are grown for specific goals, find their true function in true alignment.

Truth centres. A battle of illusion of truth with illusions sets an off centred inertial fulcrum. We can become lost in our own spin. But yielding to the centre is not a surrender to 'other', even if release of a self-centred investment seems like imminent death or disaster. The key is to live the willingness of the moment of the gift of noticing, instead of rehearsing plans, and setting conditions for the plans and sacrificing life to the conditions that serve the plans.

Whenever we succeed in achieving what we thought we wanted, we discover, that that wasn't it.

perhaps it then serves a greater learning, unless we merely persist the same pattern with new symbols for what we ultimately and already are.

Love by any other Name

“Oh oh Are we bringing religion in to the debate ?”

Ignore the substance and incite polarised diversion if you will.

If you think the many and often justified charges made against organised religion (sic) do not also apply to organised crime - as exemplified by the peuedo religion of viral fear and dispensations of vaccines, self-denials and sacrificial appeasements to a god of terror - then perhaps you can only think in lockstep with consensus science (sic).

The quote offered salient and relevant observable facts that culminate in ascribing God as the source and nature of being - by which all other priorities automatically align. Such miracles or witnesses to love are natural and ordinary shifts from a physically defined, determined and driven sense of life as struggle or conflict, to a shared appreciation for being. No 'religion' need be painted onto life to be all that it is - and all that you are. Nor does 'science' have to explain (away) life for wonder to abide as unfolding an appreciation of understanding. (Standing under)

I invite you to address the context, and not just the trigger for your antibody response.

Or at least to pause a moment before reacting.

Keep the noise of polarised and polarising identity-seeking, out of the signal.

If you value the signal as a result of an honest and honouring communication.

If my offering isn't for you - then don't 'catch it'.

Or if you have something to say - please share it.

What love is.

And what we have made of love

May not be one and the same.

But love's honesty remains the power

By which errors are undone or corrected

As love of truth is accepted

Over what we have made

To mask a loveless world

Of conflicted thinking.

Be the love that you are.

That's It!

Everything else aligns from putting first things first.

Nothing sentimental or romantic here.

Stripped back to zero-point

From which all change embodies.

We do not create the movement

By which to receive the gift of life,
