Sammenbrudscenarier - Mindfulness, Sandhedsbevægelserne, Hold Balancen

Dette er din fremtid, endda nutid - det vil være godt at lære at holde balancen, uanset hvem du er:

Abstract:  * Mindfulness i den rette kontekst * Trojanske Heste * Nødvendigheden af det indre arbejde * Spirituel vs 'Kon-Spirituel' * Negativ vs Positiv Tænkning * Verdens lykkeligste mand * Sandhedsbevægelserne er reaktion på The Deep State/Tyranniet/Oligarkiet/Plutokratiet *

• En verden der forsvandt
  
• Civilisationens Sammenbrud før Gennembrud

• Hvis flere i Truth/Justice/Freedom-bevægelserne (se allernederste fodnote ***) træner mindfulness meditation og andre indre teknikker, vil de som gør det (blandt Truth/Justice/Freedom-bevægelserne), være yderst sjældne, i en verden hvor 95% af mennesker er 'emotionelle analfabeter', jvf. Eckhart Tolle (i en verden styret af lave emotioner, specielt i det politiske). De vil ikke kun være pionerer i det ydre, men vil have en praksis af selvindsigt og sindsligevægt (a la 'Jedi Mind'/Sun Tzu) i det indre, som gør dem bedre, klarere, langt mere effektive i det ydre! Talent og intellektuel indsigt I økonomi, false flags, medie manipulation, m.m. er nødvendigt og fantatisk pionerarbejde, og cutting edge, men ikke tilstrækkeligt, hvis det indre ikke er med [1] af flere grunde. Den manglende træning I selvindsigt og at rumme negative emotioner, er potentielt en Trojansk Hest.
 

 
• Nødvendighed: Mindfulness og andre indre teknikker vil IKKE give indsigt i skjulte politiske magtforhold, men det er perfekt og en nødvendighed for de menneskers sindsligevægt, som har en sådan indsigt, fordi de - med rette - er forfærdet over statens og mediernes løgne. De skal kæmpe for at ændre disse vilkår uden at blive depressive, gå amok i emotionerne, eksterne og interne magtkampe, udbrændthed, stress, etc.Set i lyset af potentielle store samfundsmæssige sammenbrudsscenarier, kan det forekomme absurd at bruge mindfulness, men det er snarere omvendt.



• Eksternt vil mindfulness give større styrke, sindsligevægt, klarhed, etc. i forhold til angreb udefra, så man ikke reagerer som flertallet gør (reaktivt, automatisk, emotions rule, etc.)



• Internt, så at man meget lettere kan håndtere de emotionelle konflikter, der potentielt kan opstå indbyrdes blandt Truth/Justice/Freedom-bevægelser, (som det konstant gør I alle mellemmenneskelige relationer – store og små). Det vil kunne være uvurderligt i konfliktmægling f.eks., og udnivellere de værste emotionelle bølgetoppe, så at skibet ikke splittes indefra. Den Trojanske Hest er altid på spil. Jeg har set det I truth movements I USA og DK I mange år. Emotioner styrer! Mindfulness vil også kunne udnivellere de problemer der kan opstå som følge af Truther's Red Carpet Syndrome

Det som 'mindfulness' gør, er 'kun' noget som allerede eksisterer I mennesket, at man kan lære at afidentificere sig fra det som det herskende paradigme fejlagtigt tror er sandheden; at kun emotioner og tanker udgør jegets og bevidsthedens fundament. So what? What's the point? I virkeligheden er såkaldt 'mindfulness' primært evnen til at observere sensationer, emotioner, tanker, perceptioner, etc. uden at blive hvirvlet ind i dem på en ubevidst, ufri måde I ubehagelig identifikation - med al den stress, ravage, negative smerte, lidelse, identifikation, grådighed, had, misundelse, magtbegær, etc. som splitter mennesker ad, indeni, personligt individuelt, interpersonelt, i grupper, etc.

Man kan 'se' ens tanker og emotioner fra oven fordi man positionerer sig I en neutral position, hvor de mister den kuppende magt over personligheden. Betragteligt reduceret stress er resultatet. Klarheden bliver større, man kammer ikke over I konflikter med politiske modstandere på samme måde som før, etc. Intuitionen kan mangedobles. Ideelt set. 

Truth/Justice/Freedom-bevægelserne bør overordnet kunne se mindfulness meditation og andre lign. teknikker som en enorm hjælp I stress management, HR, m.m. - i øvrigt i tråd med hvad ledere, management kulturen, og mange ledende institutioner gør i forvejen, osv. - selvom disse ofte bruger det malplaceret uden at vide det, fordi mindfulness oftest misbruges til at tilpasse sig et sygeligt samfunds ulidelige vilkår.

 

Når Google misbruger mindfulness og United Stated Marine Corp misbruger det til at gøre mordere mere effektive, m.fl.- så kan man se hvor vigtigt det er, at gode ædle mennesker i verden skal bruge det på den rigtige måde.

På et mere 'jordnært' plan må Truth/Justice/Freedom-bevægelser kunne se det som et vigtigt redskab til balance internt, så man ikke går under af burn out, stress, depression, etc. som følge af lige netop den slags aktivisme. Og med tanke på, at Truth/Justice/Freedom-bevægelser indebærer en aktivisme som er langt mere dyb, krævende og hardcore end Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke, Green Peace, Amnesty, etc. hvor udbrændthed er et stort problem, bør det måske mest effektive redskab – mindfulness – bruges. Og udbrændthed er kun ét af de 'mindre' potentielle problemer, de andre er indre splittelse mellem mange mennesker, magtkampe, uklarhed, emotionernes rasen, og det som er farligere I fremtiden; infiltration, agent provocateurs, afsporing, karakterhenrettelse I medier, etc. etc.

Nogle vil synes, at alt dette med indre arbejde er irrelevant pludder-pladder, at den Trojanske Hest er mindre relevant, men evidensen taler for det modsatte.

Selvom det lyder luftigt, latterligt, insubstantielt, er det indre arbejde vigtigt, måske noget af det vigtigste på denne rejse, og bliver oftest negligeret. Not good!Desuden kan alle bruge mindfulness (næsten - jegsvage mennesker kræver andre teknikker), ateister, spirituelle typer, aktivister, etc. men det er absolut guld værd for mennesker, som er på spydspidsen i truth/justice/freedom bevægelserne, af mange grunde som nævnt I denne artikel.





Disse typer der kan være 'calm in chaos' vil være uvurderlige, specielt I fremtiden. Ikke nok med at Truth/Justice/Freedom-bevægelser er på spydsspidsen I at pointere nogle magtforhold som censureres, fornægtes, men de vil også kunne være pioneere I at applicere mindfulness bevidst som bevidst praksis, og ikke nok med det; men gøre det på den korrekte måde, noget som meget få gør I det hele taget.
                          

Det er summen af individers selvindsigt blandt de såkaldte Truth/Justice/Freedom-bevægelser, som bærer navigationen i det videre forløb, og det vil manifestere sig i de ydre forhold. Det er ikke kun indsigt i de ydre forhold, men måden man bærer dem på. At lære at surfe på bølgen uden at crashe emotionelt. Man kan ikke kontrollere havets bevægelser og bølgerne - men man kan lære at surfe på bølgerne. Bevidsthed går forud for al handling, og emotioner kan blusse op, så at man sejler ud i storm, hvilket man ikke skal. Det er et billede på, at man ikke skal handle i emotionernes magt.

Regeringer, Fortune 100 corporations, CEO's, militæret, kan høste af mindfulness på en meget, meget udbytterig måde. Ellers ville de ikke gøre det.




Forkert og korrekt Mindfulness - accept af fængslet vs frihed

Men de fleste bruger det man kalder 'wrong mindfulness' - der er nemlig på Pali skrift en 'Right Mindfulness' (samma sati) and 'Wrong Mindfulness' (miccha sati). En regeringsleder, en assassin, eller en psykopat CEO f.eks. kan bruge mindfulness og have en meget stor psykisk (og praktisk) fordel overfor sine utrænede 'psykisk analfabetiske' modstandere pga. af denne trænede evne. Det samme gælder den omvendte situation.

Men Wrong Mindfulness karakteriseres ved at være uden højere etik (bl.a.). Derfor er situationen ikke helt ulig den, som er beskrevet med Siths VS Jedis i Star Wars – I hvert fald på de højere niveauer. Analogien er på et vist punkt meget velvalgt. Og mange idag som bruger Mindfulness bruger 'Wrong Mindfulness', de fleste uden at vide, at det er det de gør (man kan være et godt menneske, men ubevidst om den fortræd man udøver qua autoritetstro, uddannelsesskade, nyttig idioti, etc.) Se f.eks. Funktionel Dumhed - Er Du Psykopat Uden At Vide Det?

Ikke desto mindre er der nogle iboende kvaliteter i mennesket som kan vækkes, hvoraf flere - bl.a. mindfulness - er ekstremt begunstigende, og hvis mangel på kultivering udgør en emotionel og mental 'analfabetisme' i de mennesker som ikke har udviklet disse kvaliteter VS dem som har. Disse kvaliteter er iboende latente potentialer, og har intet med 'Buddhisme' at gøre - andet end at den buddhistiske tradition, værende den måske mest avancerede og sofistikerede I dens uhyre fint-skelnende subtile distinktioner og kortlægning, har kortlagt disse kvaliteter gennem meditation, selvudforskning og inquiry om virkelighedens natur. Men Buddha var ikke Buddhist, ligeså lidt som Jesus var Kristen. Der er tale om universelle erfaringer vedr. menneskets potentialer, bevidsthedstilstande, metoder, etc.

Det korte af det lange er, at mindfulness ofte bruges som 'soma', det bedøvende lykkestof i Huxleys 'Fagre Nye Verden', hver eneste gang der er anledning til utilfredshed og oprør. Det syge samfunds normalt accepterede praksis i mangt og meget (vacciner, manglende demokrati, mobilstråling, etc.) erkendes ikke som sygt og sygdomsfremkaldende - symptomerne af lidelse og smerte som forårsages af dette, forsøges løst gennem mindfulness f.eks. men da mange mennesker ikke er bevidste om de lidelsesvoldende årsager, så er der ikke nogen skelnevne mellem det man bør ændre, og det som man ikke kan ændre. Man får det ofte bedre men the etikken, skelneevne, m.m. mangler.

Med andre ord; man tilpasser sig et dybt sygt samfund ved at bruge mindfulness som bedøvelse, en tilpasning til årsager, hvoraf mange ikke er på radaren kognitivt. Hvorfor acceptere fængslet, hvis der er en exit? Men da folk ikke kan se fængslet (de ser det som 'normalt', 'frihed', etc.) vil de acceptere det. De lider stadig, men mange af årsagerne til lidelse er usynlige for dem, og de bruger derfor mindfulness til at udholde smerten (eller lykkepiller, alkohol, etc.)

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” - Krishnamurti

US Marines misbruger mindfulness, dvs. undgår at blive post-traumatiseret ved mord og krig, dvs. De bliver mere effektive mordere uden 'arbejdsskaden'; PTSD og selvmord, etc. (det viser sig, at de bedste og 'langtidsholdbare' murder marines er psykopaterne uden empati).

“mindfulness, defined as the “paying of attention to the present moment in a non-judgemental way” simply “leaves individuals in the company grappling with their stress while ignoring the larger picture of corporate politics …. Purser and Loy likened this to past corporate movements that “came to be referred to as ‘cow psychology,’ because contented and docile cows give more milk.” - kilde

“Indtil nu har mindfulness bevægelsen undgået enhver seriøs betragtning om, hvorfor stress er så omfattende i de moderne business institutioner. I stedet har firmaer hoppet på mindfulness vognen fordi dette bekvemmeligt skifter ansvarsbyrden over på den enkelte ansatte, stress bliver spinnet som et personligt problem, og mindfulness bliver tilbudt som lige netop den rette medicin for at hjælpe de ansatte med at arbejde mere effektivt og roligt i toksiske miljøer. Forklædt i en aura af omsorg og menneskelighed omskabes mindfulness til en sikkerhedsventil, som en måde at lette overtrykket - en teknik til at kapere og tilpasse sig stressen og belastningen i business livet"
- Beyond McMindfulness, Ron Purser, Professor of management at San Francisco State University and Zen teacher David Loy 

"From a Buddhist point of view, it is absurd to watch people espouse mindfulness while changing nothing in their deeper values or daily life. It is as senseless and egoistic as practicing some kind of secular “prayer” for the sake of health and feel-good benefits. “In its proper context, mindfulness is supposed to be right mindfulness, and is but one of eight components of the Noble Eightfold Path. It is supposed to be grounded, contained, and expressed through right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, and right concentration. To fixate on non-judgemental mindfulness alone is simply not right."

"Just as there is a set of metaphysical commitments that undergird the modern mindfulness movement, there are also ethical and political commitments. The problem is that, in America at least, these commitments so resemble those of mainstream consumer culture that they go largely unnoticed. Rather than enjoining practitioners to renounce mainstream American culture, mindfulness is seen as a way to better cope with it."

- Fra uddybende og meget længere analyse om nærværende artikels problematik: 'Cognitive Boddhisatvic Bypass Syndrome'

Men Mindfulness for sandheds/retfærdigheds/frihedsbevægelserne er helt, helt anderledes.
Mainstream kulturen bruger i en meget stor grad Mindfulness til at tilpasse sig et fængsel, som ikke erkendes som et fængsel, og de leder derfor ikke efter en exit.

Sandheds/retfærdigheds/frihedsbevægelserne ser, at samfundets vilkår er et fængsel, og bør derfor bruge derfor mindfulness som et nødvendigt værktøj til at opretholde balancen, fordi de ser, at der er et fængsel, mens de leder efter en exit.

Den første, mainstream, erkender ikke årsager til lidelse i det ydre, som egentlig bør ændres - den anden detekterer sygelige vilkår som sygelige, hvorfor man tilstræber at ændre dem (hvis dit knæ risikerer en skade ved at sidde i en stilling som kan gøre dig handikappet, så bruger du ikke mindfulness meditationen på et kursus til at acceptere denne farlige stilling, men ændrer din stilling - denne evne er ikke mindfulness i sig selv, men skelneevnen som mindfulness indsættes i, i et etisk korrekt livssyn).

2 meget, meget forskellige applikationer af Mindfulness.
Det første er bedøvelse og tilpasning til The Matrix. Det andet er opvågning og en søgen efter en exit ud af The Matrix, og dette kræver mindfulness i en korrekt kontekst.

Meditativ bevidsthed giver ikke konkret viden om og indsigt i fluor,vacciner, aspartam, GMO, false flag terror, den forsætlige dumbing down af befolkningerne, deep politics og directed history, m.m. Derfor kan spirituelt søgende mennesker være lige uvidende som menigmand Jensen.

Mange aktivister og dissidenter er derimod ofte bevidste om ovenstående manipulationer og løgne, mens de til gengæld mangler den indre dimension a la meditation, arbejdet med de negative emotioners magt, skyggeside, etc.

Mens mange dissidenter mangler frihed fra negative emotioner og skygge-integration, mangler flertallet af den såkaldt spirituelle fortrop 'konspiranauternes' indsigt (og the 'sheeple' mangler begge dele), men en tredje kategori som er bevidst om begge ting, er en uvurderlig gruppe af mennesker; 'the conspiritual' ('kon-spirituelle' - en neologisme, selvom det etymologisk ikke giver nogen mening:-)


Se også: Jedi Mind Underground på dansk og en meget længere på engelsk.

Det er formentlig dennne form for 'tredje kategori' som vil have den største skillful means i handling I fremtidens eskalerende konflikter. De 'emotionelt ufrie' vil være reaktive, emotionelt rasende til tider, in a state of high distress, det er forståeligt human nature considered, ergo: deres fælde ligger formentlig i 'Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you'*

* Nietzsche adresserer det emotionelt reaktive I min vurdering. Mens de 'meditative' aktivister' er mere emotionelt fri af negative emotioner, og mere effektive og langt mere mentalt skelnende i en sådan frihedskamp a la Sun Tzu og non-attachment (så vidt det er muligt), er de mere emotionelle dissidenter langt, langt mere I følelsernes vold. Begge grupper kæmper for det samme, kan se det samme, kan kritisere det samme, kan sige nøjagtigt det samme, men den subjektive negative pol er langt mere fri og ubundet (hos de spirituelle typer blandt dissidenterne er der f.eks. Ole Dammegård, m.fl.).






En Kort Note om Positiv vs NegativTænkning:

En model som differentierer positiv vs negativ i 4 kategorier:

1. Positive former af 'positiv tænkning'
 

2. Negative former af 'positiv tænkning'
 

3. Positive former af 'negativ tænkning'
 

4. Negative former af 'negativ tænkning'

 

Det er mit bud, at nummer 2 og nummer 3 ikke eksisterer på de fleste folks radar.

Ønsketænkning, normalcy bias, konditionering, investeret interesse, er meget større end (>>) reality check.
 

De som kan differentiere mellem alle 4 kategorier, vil derfor vil kunne foretage flere valg i enhver given situation, mens de som kun kan se to former (når der i virkeligheden er mindst 4) tænker i et falskt binært skema, som virkeligheden ikke afspejler. Modellen som følger af enten/eller mister nuancer, opdeler virkeligheden falskt, og kan have dramatiske konsekvenser:

Her er nogle eksempler på  3'eren (positive former af 'negativ tænkning') som blev fejlbedømt som 4'eren (negative former af 'negativ tænkning')  - i sig selv pga. af fiksering på 1'eren og 4'eren - og af samme grund ønsker jeg ikke at være blandt kollektivister når the shit hits the fan (som nogen har sagt;-), ej heller de typer af New Age folk , som  Debbie Ford har kaldt 'the Dark Side of The Light Chasers':

●  "Little Sioux Scout camp in June 2008. Despite being in the middle of "Tornado Alley," the campground had no tornado shelter to offer protection from a strong tornado."
Ønsketænkning, investeret interesse, normalcy bias er meget større end (>>) reality check.

● New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina. Inadequate government and citizen preparation and the denial that the levees could fail were an example of denying the 'negative', as were  the thousands of people
who refused to evacuate.

Ønsketænkning, investeret interesse, normalcy bias er meget større end (>>) reality check.

● Members of the Bush administration have repeatedly chided journalists for failing to focus on the positive aspects of America's role in Iraq. The consequence of such positive thinking have been notably highlighted by journalists and commentators.

● Rumsfeld had become one of the chief engines of the notion that insisting on belief in a particular version of reality in Iraq would somehow cause that version to be manifested. It was the power of positive thinking, as applied to geopolitics, and by 2005 it had gone too far for a slew of retired generals, who joined the call for Rumsfeld to resign.

● Clearly the world would never have been exposed to the scandal of Abu Ghraib prison had it not been for whistleblowers. Those with secrets to hide would consider it "positive" that exposure to such "negativity" should be avoided.

●  As a physician concerned with cancer, Jimmie C. Holland (The Human Side of Cancer, 2001) writes with concern on The Tyranny of Positive Thinking and the unreasonable expectations it places on people struggling with the disease -- to the point of believing they are dying because they are not being positive enough.

● Tsunami disaster: A more dramatic example is that of the head of  the Thai meteorlogical office who was forced in 1998 to retire under a shadow for having warned that the coast was dangerously vulnerable to the effects of tsunami. He was accused of scaremongering and jeopardising the tourist industry around the island of Phuket. After tens of thousands of deaths in the tsunami of 2004, he was reinstated in 2005 -- as minister in charge of the Thai disaster warning office.

 

● Challenger disaster: NASA suffered a highly publicized disaster on 28 January 1986, when the space shuttle Challenger exploded, killing all seven astronauts on board. The extensive analysis of the problem thereafter determined that the engineers had endeavoured to report the nature of the problem (inadequate sealing rings, called O-rings) to the NASA council responsible. They had however been informed that negative feedback on such matters was both unwelcome and inappropriate. A positive approach was required by NASA authorities to ensure the planned launch and the desirable public relations coverage. Some of the engineers were much sought out thereafter as speakers in management schools.

● Avianca disaster: In 1990 an Avianca flight was in a holding pattern in the New York area for 77 minutes awaiting clearance to land. Realizing that the aircraft's fuel supply was dangerously low, the pilot informed the control tower that it was nearly exhausted: "I think we need priority; we're running out of fuel." Hearing the pilot's calm positive voice, the controllers did not react and authorize an immediate landing. Fatally, the pilot had not used the prescribed "negative" terms "emergency" or "minimum fuel". Minutes later the aircraft crashed. An investigation concluded that the pilot neglected to use the prescribed terms, and the controllers had also failed to ask how much fuel remained, or to request clarification.

4 Scenarier
Ingen kender tidspunktet, men hvis tingene fortsætter i den retning, som de vestlige krigsherrer og eliter ønsker, så dikterer logikken, at mindst 4 følgende scenarier vil konvergere indenfor den samme korte periode (den katalyserende faktor kan være en udløsende false flag terror aktion), specielt når dollarens status som verdens reserve/petro-valuta begynder at vælte for alvor. Krigens start vil fungere som røgslør for årsager, og mudre vandene, når vi når the breaking point of no return.

De 4  konvergerende scenarier:

• Krige og invasioner ekspanderer pludseligt (Mellemøsten, Syrien, Ukraine) – spillover effect til andre lande.
• Internet – false flag cyberattacks, sammenbrud, servere/websites, internet restriktioner ved lov
• Økonomiske globale sammenbrudsscenarier
• Drakoniske statslige tiltag eksekveres – (yderligere) tab af frihedsrettigheder

Og det forventede modtryk:

• Enorm global modstand mod krigen og ønske om fred – protester og demonstrationer af en størrelse og omfang uden præcedens
• Innnovation i kommunikation, omgåelse af internet-restriktioner og censur, Deep Web, Darknet, PirateBox, lokale routere, omstruktureringer, protester, m.m. 
• Innovation i lokale valuta, Bitcoin, barter, selv-forsyning, gennembrud og spredning af fri energi-teknologier, solar, vind, vand, urban farming, biodomes, decentralisering og omorganisering af subsistens, fødevarer, energi, beskyttede lokalsamfund, etc. 
• Civil courage, millioner af NGO’er, formeringen af undergrundsgrupper, eksponering af eliten, protester, regeringers sammenbrud, etc.

Der er dog mange ukendte wild-card scenarier – positive og negative.

FODNOTER:


[1] 

I 'Destructive Emotions' siger Matthieu Ricard, 'verdens lykkeligste mand', at mennesker er ofre for egne  emotioner, som mennesker er ofre for knivstikkende tyve bagfra ( 'backstabbing thieves') på gaden (der er enorm energi i vrede og i Tibetansk Buddhisme siges det, at vreden er meget stærkere end jeget). Det er ikke vrede i sig selv, som nødvendigvis er problemet - en indignation er ikke til at komme udenom, og man skal bruge den - men de konsekvenser som vrede kan lede til. Hvis man ikke har træning og bevidsthed, kan det netop kamme over i endnu vildere konsekvenser ('ser rødt', gå amok, kamme over i raseri og had, venner splittes ad, etc. - alt det som hele tiden sker på planeten).

De mest intelligente og intellektuelle mennesker på planeten er ligeså lidt udviklede som Berta fra Bodegaen mht. at være ofre for negative emotioner. Chomsky, Foucault, Kant, Kierkegaard, m.fl. gik aldrig den meditative vej, og kan derfor ikke udtale sig om det, og deres væsen vidner om det også, med intellektuel ensidighed, og manglende emotionel transformation, omend de gav andre værdifulde bidrag.

I Munken og Filosoffen, en dialog mellem Matthieu Ricard og faderen, Jean-Francois Revel, pointerer Ricard, at brilliante tænkere, videnskabsmænd, kunstnere, mangler selvindsigt og emotionel forvandling. Matthieu havde en meget lovende karriere foran sig, med nobelpris videnskabsmænd og lærere i molekylær biologi, m.m., og hans far var skuffet over, at han I stedet valgte den meditative vej:

Matthieu Ricard — ...Thanks to my uncle Jacques-Yves Le Toumelin, who is quite famous as a solo yachtsman, I also discovered the writings of the French metaphysician Rene Guénon. All this stimulated and nourished my intellectual curiosity about religion, without leading to anything more concrete. For me, it all stayed quite intellectual.

Jean Francois — Intellectual in what sense?  

M. — I found that reading these works full of meaning satisfied me deeply and opened my mind, but didn't really bring about any inner transformation. J. F — How old were you at this point? 

M. — Oh, I suppose about fifteen. I'd also read some records of interviews with Ramana Maharshi, an Indian sage who was an Indian sage who was said to have attained knowledge of the ultimate nature of the mind,....

....In the world I'd grown up in, thanks to you I'd met philosophers, thinkers, theater people; thanks to my mother (Yahne Le Toumelin, the painter), I knew artists and poets like Andre Breton, Maurice Béjart, Pierre Soulages; thanks to my uncle (Jacques-Yves l.e Toumelin, the sailor), famous explorers; thanks to Francois Iacob, the eminent scientists who came to give lectures at the Institut Pasteur. I'd had the opportunity to make contact with people who in many respects were fascinating. I’d had the opportunity to make contact with people who in many respects were fascinating.

But at the same time the genius they showed in their particular field was not necessarily accompanied by what you could call human perfection. All their talent, all their intellectual and artistic skills, didn’t necessarily make them good human beings. A great poet might be a rogue, a great scientist unhappy with himself, an artist full of self-satisfied pride. All sorts of combinations, good or bad, were possible.....I met Igor Stravinsky and other great musicians. I was lucky enough to mix with many of the people much admired in the West, and to be able to make up my own mind and ask myself, 'Is that what I aspire to? Do I want to be like them? But I had the feeling that something was still missing. Despite my admiration, I couldn't help noticing that the mastery such people possessed in their particular field was often not matched by even the simplest human perfections — like altruism, goodness, or sincerity. On the other hand those films and photographs gave me a glimpse of something quite different, which drew me to those Tibetan masters. Their way of being seemed to reflect what they taught. So I set out to find them." *
- The Monk & The Philosopher

* Kommentar: Man skal tænke på, at disse 'tibetanske mestre' i mindfulness (og dybere meditationer), er selve inspirationen som har afstedkommet mindfulness revolutionen, der nu gennemtrænger hele den vestlige verden (men som også bliver misbrugt fordi den tages ud af 'the correct view', etikken og skelneevnen).

Mange Guruer og åndeligt søgende f.eks. er faldet for fristelsen til penge, sex, magt FORDI de ikke gik gennem den moralske renselse FØR de steg til tops. Da de endelig steg til tops, trådte alle deres ubearbejdede skygger (ubevidsthed) frem, og de kunne ikke styre dem, fordi personligheden får tilført enorme mængder af energi. Denne energi fik også alle ubalancerne forstærkede, ikke kun de højere potentialer, og derfor gik det ofte helt galt for dem.

Det siges I spirituel litteratur, at et såkaldt 'højere selv' normalt beskytter eleven fra at få for tidlige store evner, idet vi ville kunne gå helt skæv i vores udvikling ellers. Men den slags uheld sker faktisk. Pointen med den historie er, uanset om den er sand eller ej, at det er det samme analogiske princip i almindeligt liv også mellem mennesker i det små; aftaler som bliver brudt pga. pludselig grådighed når der kommer energi, penge på bordet, udsigt til potentiel egenvinding, emotionelle modstande får overtaget, etc. hvilket jeg har oplevet mange gange. Og specielt i det større med bevægelser, mennesker i politiske partier, store energier, etc. Det er vigtigt at have opmærksomhed overfor dette. Steiner sagde; for hvert trin i viden, skal man vokse 10 i moral (med moral mente han kærlighed og med viden, magt).

*** Ang. Truth/Justice/Freedombevægelserne:

Det er ekstremt sigende, at mange mennesker på tværs af det politiske spektrum er i konsensus om statens tyranni, false flags, Krigen mod Terror, mediemanipulationer, etc. - i detaljer og på mange nøglepunkter.

Selvom mainstream, specielt i USA, forsøger at fremhæve en polarisering på tværs, ved at fremstille den brede skepsis overfor staten, som noget der enten kun tilhører ‘højreorienterede nuts’ eller ‘ventreorienterede ekstremister’, er dette usandt - i sig selv en del og hersk-taktik fra statens og pressens side, etc., da man ønsker at marginalisere og forplumre billedet ved at tage brodden af bredden i kritikken mod STASI-staten.  Og selvom den store konsensus blandt socialisterne, fredsbevægelserne, libertarianere, konservative, anarkister, etc. i den meget store underskov på tværs, ikke har samme politiske ståsted, er de forbavsende uniforme i selve diagnosticeringen af problemer og årsager, i kritikken af meget specifikke udviklinger - disse meget vigtige udviklinger f.eks.

Netop denne diagnosticering af regeringer som statsterroristiske entiter, og mange dissidenters årsagsanalyser er derfor en trussel mod staten i staten, the Deep State, oligarkiet/kleptokratiet/plutokratiet/corporatocracy/etc., da underskoven former en bred konsensus blandt den årvågne fællesmængde på tværs af de politiske orienteringer. Derfor skal de i offentlighedens øjne af regeringer kaldes 'konspirationsteoretikere', 'højreorienterede' nuts eller 'venstreorienterede' ekstremister - falske betegnelser for, at regeringen kan kontrollere narrativet.

Protester, blogging, demonstrationer, fødslen af de mange såkaldte friheds/retfærdigheds/sandheds-bevægelser (som man mange over en kam imbecilt kalder 'konspirationsteoretikere'), er selve resultatet af årvågenhed og observation af drakoniske udviklinger under radaren, såkaldt Deep Politics og Directed History, og en af grundende til at disse bevægelser og dissidenter bliver kaldt 'ekstremister', 'konspirationsteoretikere', m.m.

Den rette betegnelse ville være; årvågne dissidenter, bloggere, professorer, aktivister, journalister, whistleblowers, efterretningsofficerer, videnskabsmænd, m.fl. De er sandhedsvidner og researchere ang. de facto degeneration og konspirations-kendsgerninger, som er blevet valideret og fået genoprejsning mange, mange gange med præcise diagnoser.

Sådanne bevægelser udgør en trussel mod The Deep State/Tyranniet/Oligarkiet/Plutokratiet, fordi det konstituerer en meget bred konsensus blandt på tværs af politiske orienteringer, blandt hele denne underskov af årvågne mennesker (uafhængige tænkere, libertarianere, socialister, demokrater, republikanere, anarkister, konservative, uafhængige medier).
Internet-renæssancen spiller en enorm rolle i denne kollektive opvågnen, hvilket selv Obamas meget indflydelsesrige mentor, Brzesinski, har udtalt (gentagne gange de sidste 5 år) er et problem for eliten: Brzezinski: ‘Global Political Awakening’ Making Syrian War Difficult

Det er lysende klart, at der er en meget specifik kritik af staten i staten, med specifikke nøglepunkter på specifikke områder, uanset hvilken orientering og politisk observans, men det er usynligt eller uklart, hvis man kun læser massemedier. Det er et begrebsligt parallelunivers.

Den virkelige essens ligger på flere afgørende måder i et vertikalt paradigme, og ikke et venstre vs højre. Noget som der i sig selv er stor konsensus om på tværs af de politiske orienteringer, blandt hele denne ‘underbelly’ af årvågne mennesker over hele spektret.


Selv de såkaldt progressive, såsom Carsten Jensen i DK burde vide, at efterretningstjensterne støtter og kreerer false flags, ISIS, etc. Det samme med Rune Engelbreth. Meget af det de gør er godt, men andet er totalt-gatekeeper nyttig idioti, og de er helt bagom dansen, og ikke på spydsspidsen!

Selvom salonfæhige dissidenter såsom Chris Hedges, Noam Chomsky, Glenn Greenwald, Michael Parenti, m.fl. i USA er rykket siden 2005, er de kun idag, hvor mange af freedom/truth/justice-bevægelserne var for 10 år siden. I mellemtiden er freedom/truth/justice-bevægelserne rykket videre, og er idag stadig flere lysår foran Chomsky, Greenwald, Hedges, Parenti, m.fl. med kortlægning af Deep Events og Deep Politics, anomalier, modsigelser, etc.  Det er derfor, at det er meget værre end de salon-fæhige dissidenter tror eller forestiller sig.

Mainstream salonfæhige kritiske intellektuelle VS politisk ukorrekte dissidenter, lever altså i parallel-verdener, hvor forskellige narrativer mht. mange historiske afgørende begivenheder ikke begge kan være sande. Enten havde Irak masseødelæggelsesvåben eller ej, enten var Syriens regime ansvarlig for det kemiske angreb eller ej, enten støttede USA, Europa og Mellemøstlige lande Al-Qaeda terrorister aktivt i Syrien eller ej, etc...

Når dokumentationen findes i et omfang, der dementerer pensum-skadede akademikeres og journalisters tilfældighedsteori og usande kausaliteter, er afvisning eller uvidenhed lig med nyttig idioti, Stockholmsyndrom, Komiske Ali, eller det der er værre.

Hvor mange gange skal årvågne dissidenter valideres før, at et paradigmeskifte kan indtræffe - at 'uddannelsesskadede' kritikere kan indse, at etiketten 'tilfældighedsteori' (og 'konspirationsteori' som anvendt skældsord) på mange signifikante begivenheder i Deep Politics, er et arbitrært uholdbart stereotyp-argument, hvis ikke Komiske Ali-syndrom? De store ydmygende komiske ali-momenter for pressen, medier, salon-fæhige dissidenter, m.fl. er ved at breake igennem for alvor i USA og mange andre steder...........sooner or later in DK also. Når samfundskritiske forfattere skal tækkes deres skarer, må de holde sig til et radikalt, men ikke for radikalt 'dissident-pensum', da de ikke ønsker at miste deres fanbase, er angst, etc. På den måde bliver de gatekeepers.

Læg mærke til, at de bedste dissidenter, de som bliver betragtet som 'konspirationteoretikere' som skældsord, i virkeligheden er freedom/truth/justice-bevægelserne som bliver valideret konstant og succesivt af eftertidens og virkelighedens ubestikkelige fakticitet, når deres 'konspiranoia' bliver 'profetisk' bekræftet gang på gang på gang på gang. Læg mærke til, at de kender narrativet i de mainstream propagandaforklaringer, som de gennemskuer som lamestream, og kan se forskel mellem officielle narrativer og de virkelige underliggende realiteter. De kender begge narrativer. Læg mærke til, at mainstream meget sjældent kender andet end deres eget narrativ, og latterliggør ofte dissidenternes narrativ som de oftest ikke kender, ikke har studeret. Ironisk. Det er en form for analfabetisme.

Jedi Mind Underground & Trojan Horses

by ChaosNavigator

Ahriman guides certain forces in evolution in such a way that they may be of the greatest possible advantage to him. And evil would result were people to live on in a state of drowsy unawareness'
- Rudolf Steiner

 'The truth is most people will not believe what’s happening today on the political horizon. The forces that are at work behind the scenes are as old as the battle between good and evil themselves....The problem with covert control and secret brotherhoods is you cannot rebel against something you don’t know exists.'
- on Secret Brotherhoods  by Rudolf Steiner

'Rudolf Steiner prophezised that leaders of the spiritually aware will come together to form the most widespread and determined underground movement against the distortion of spiritual values, represented by the New World Order. The members of the underground will be those people from all walks of life who have entered upon a path of spiritual self-discovery in which they have united the rational mind and the new spiritual faculties to reveal the presence of the spiritual world; people who have begun to unveil the meaning of their personal destiny and accept with love the dictates of the individual human spirit in the service of the true aims of mankind..... Steiner claimed that Ahriman  will do everything in his power to advance this moment as much as he can. It will depend on all of mankind together whether evil will succeed in this or not.Whether it will succeed in this will depend on the question whether there will be enough people who see through its designs' *
-  'The Mark of the Beast: The Continuing Story of the Spear of Destiny', Trevor Ravenscroft, Tim Wallace-Murphy, 1989

* I suspect that this and this are among its 'designs'. So please; wake up!


The Trojan Horse
 In the book 'The Monk and The Philosopher'Matthieu Ricard says that human beings are victims of their own negative emotions as people in the streets are victims of backstabbing thieves. There is a tremendous energy in anger fx, and in Tibetan Buddhism it is said that anger is usually stronger than the ego's capacity to contain it. It is not anger per se which is necessarily the problem, but the negative consequences it often lead to  - automatic emotional reactivity captivates you and poof, you're gone! Hijacked by affective forces.

One can still defend oneself, point out and act in the non-reactive state of mind, but now it is no longer the emotions hijacking you, and therefore the qualities of action, defense, analysis, etc. are far more efficient, precise, wise, etc.

Matthieu Ricard, named the world's happiest man (MR-scannings showed top score in the least reactivity and absence of negative emotions)  cannot remember how it is to feel strong anger -  last time he experienced anger was in the 70's. He said to me once that indignation has its right place and that we should be moved by our emotions (in spite of its dangers in itself) but at the same time not fall prey to them.

A paraphrasing quote about authenticity should be interjected here because ideals of peace, non-anger, non-violence without insight and practice, can result in suppression, introverted fragmentation, inauthenticity, hidden passive aggression, illness, the diminishing of life force, etc. - and autenticity ranges higher than pretence of thought-out high ideals about spirituality, even though acting-out prompted by anger has its own dangers, especially rage:

"It is better to be angry, if there is anger in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of peace to cover impotence. Anger is any day preferable to impotence. There is hope for an angry man to become peaceful. There is no such hope for the impotent."
-Mahatma Gandhi (paraphrase)

"An individual must first have a sense of ego which is precious and he has fought long and hard for before he can surrender it, otherwise what is there to surrender? If he has no ego he cannot surrender and if his sense of ego is vague and weak, then his surrender is hollow, inane. he is not really surrendering. A weak ego cannot surrender, it can only submit!
- Osho

He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amidst injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.*
― St. Thomas Aquinas

(* One could add; if you're not enraged, concerned, indignated, or/and compassionate, etc. you are either sleeping or a human whose humanity is lost. Only the spiritually enlightened human beings who have totally transcended emotional reactivity and become non-reactive are beyond anger, but still acts and can become indignated (but they are no longer identified with the emotions. Any indignation is preceded by empathy and moral consciousness. Conclusion; Only psychopaths and apathetic people are totally sedated)

Anger is preferable to suppression of anger. The danger is to become hijacked by negative emotions where control is lost, and the consequences it can lead to, especially in af fit of rage (or suppressed burned imploded emotions - very unhealthy).

if you happen to be attacked virulently, and on the verge of becoming vengeful or in state of rage, you can apply the first technique according to Tibetan Buddhism; an antidote to the specific mind poison ( the negative emotion in question).

According to Tibetan Buddhism the mind poisons are; greed, hatred, jealousy, envy, and so forth - with time and practice the individual will reach an inner state of neutrality, of freedom from the compelling power of negative emotions.

Being hijacked by the  power of negative emotions can become one's Nemesis, a trojan horse, the enemy from within - something that Star Wars in its depiction of the Jedi training has described via buddhist sources - and the same ultimate cause to Anakin Skywalker's fall from grace into the descent of Darth Vader, even though he was extraordinarily talented and advanced.*

Enter Jedi Mind Training.

(* Both an occultist, a clairvoyant, or a gifted spiritual practitioner are able to attain high levels —but still be weak in the lower or more fundamental moral and ethical codes of conduct. Without honesty, ethical foundation and shadow integration, obviously the ego could be tempted by the power and the glory experienced in the higher stages. See also Spiritual Pitfalls and The Shadow of the Enlightened Guru) The Emperor in Star Wars, a black magician, manipulates Anakin Skywalker playing on his fears and negative emotions - this paves the way for the dark descent into Darth Vader

Mind Poisons, Meditation, & The Tantric Transformation

There are thousands of mind poisons and a antidote against each mind poison.

There are 3 principal ways to conquer negative emotions:  1. antidotes, 2. liberation, and 3. utilization, in that sequence, the last being the most advanced and the most dangerous for beginners, and tantric in its nature (tantra has nothing to do with sex here, just as physical yoga (Hatha Yoga) is only a very small part of yoga.

• The first consists of applying a specific antidote to each negative emotion.
• The second allows us to unravel, or "liberate," emotion by looking straight at it and letting it dissolve as it arises.
• The third uses the raw power of emotion as a catalyst for inner change.
  

On the technique of antidotes, specifically anger in the following, Matthieu Ricard says:

'Usually when we have a flash of anger there follows a sort of refractory period where we can't even begin to acknowledge the positive aspects of the person with whom we're angry. They are just 100 per cent despicable and our whole mental landscape is full of that. A direct antidote approach is to treat it like heat and cold. This means that the more you bring benevolent or altruistic thoughts at that instant to the mind, the less space there is for the opposite. This is antidote training.  

By keeping aware of the anger it cannot sustain itself, it stops being fuelled and slowly dies out. If you become skilled in that, then with awareness you can simply let those afflictive emotions dissolve without keeping them in like a time bomb, or exploding them each time. It's about realising that you not anger any more than you are the flu.'
- Life Lessons From The World's Happiest Man - Esquire

One does not suppress the anger, but on the other hand it's not acting-out either. A short interjection here is relevant and important in this context;  you can not let go of something you haven't had a grip on first (made conscious first) and a premature attempt to transcend anger can be very problematic - see footnote [1].

"We can suppress anger and aggression or act it out, either way making things worse for ourselves and others. Or we can practice patience: wait, experience the anger and investigate its nature."
- Pema Chödrön
http://www.lionsroar.com/the-answer-to-anger-aggression-is-patience/

 Matthieu Ricard on the 3 techniques:

"In Tibetan Buddhism, there are three traditional approaches to disturbing emotions, including afflictive desire. The first method is to develop an antidote. In the case of desire, one such antidote is the cultivation of nonattachment to desired objects. This way, the practitioner can neutralize afflictive desire. With the second method, the practitioner, rather than focusing on a desired object, instead examines the nature of desire itself, and in discovering its insubstantiality, frees himself of its pull. With the third method, which is said to be a powerful catalyst but also the most difficult and dangerous technique, the practitioner uses desire as path, turning its energy into fuel for practice. The metaphor commonly used for the latter method is the peacock, which eats poisonous substances only to make its feathers more brilliant...

Matthieu Ricard, 'the World's Happiest Man' - hasn't been angry since the 70's.

...In the second method, instead of trying to counteract every afflictive emotion with a particular antidote, we act on a more fundamental level and use a single antidote to deal with all afflictions. If we examine our emotions and trains of thought without suppressing their natural activity, we find that they are nothing but dynamic streams devoid of intrinsic existence. So, instead of trying to block desire, we can simply examine its true nature. In such a practice, we focus our attention on desire itself, rather than on its object. Does desire have any shape or color? Where does it come from? Where does it dwell? Where does it go when it vanishes from the mind? Is it burning us like a fire, or pulling us like a rope? All we can say is that desire arises in the mind, stays in it for a while, and dissolves in it. The more we try to find any intrinsic characteristics in desire, the more it melts away under our gaze, as frost under the morning sun.

In Buddhism this is called liberating desire by recognizing its empty nature. By doing so, we deactivate its power to cause suffering. Once we have gained some degree of experience, this liberation will happen spontaneously and effortlessly, like the dissolution of a drawing made with the finger on the surface of water. In this way, thoughts will no longer perpetuate in an obsessive stream. Rather, they will cross the mind like birds passing through space, without leaving any trace.

The third method is the most subtle and difficult. If we carefully examine our emotions, we discover that, like musical notes, they have various harmonics. Just as anger has an aspect of clarity, desire has a component of bliss that is distinct from craving. If we know how to distinguish these aspects, it becomes possible to experience a blissful state of mind without being affected by the deluded aspect of grasping. We become aware that emotions are not intrinsically afflictive but only become so when we identify with them and grasp onto them. If we succeed in avoiding such a fixation, there is no need to use external antidotes: the emotions themselves act as catalysts that allow us to disengage from their negative influence. When a good swimmer falls into the sea, it is the water itself that allows her to swim to safety.

Thus, for those who are able to master the most intimate mental processes, passions can be used as wood to fuel the fire of spiritual realization and altruism. Such a practice, however, requires great skill in the language of emotions and is not free from dangers: to let powerful emotions express themselves without falling prey to them is like playing with fire. If one succeeds, one will greatly progress in understanding the nature of mind; if one fails, one is enslaved by the ordinary ways of experiencing desire.

The different methods to free oneself from destructive emotions are like keys: it does not matter whether a key is made of iron, silver, or gold, as long at it opens the door to freedom. The question is not which approach is “superior” to the others, but which one fulfills for us the essential goal of the path of inner transformation. When we suffer from a particular ailment, the best medicine is not the most expensive one, but the one that works best."

Yes, I know that all this is elegant theory and I know also that knowing the way and going the way are two different things, that it can take decades of practice in mindfulness or other techniques to arrive at the 'lakes without any ripples' (no emotional ripples on the waters) but still I am sharing these concepts, even though I am often falling myself, exactly because knowing the way and going the way are two different things.

The Activists, The Spiritual, & The Conspiritual - Jedi Mind Underground

 

'Again and again, when confronted by the many serious problems with which humanity has been struggling since the First World War and is still facing, the almost despairing question is often asked, even in anthroposophical circles: 'What can I do? What can the individual do about the machinations of these secret groups, if indeed they exist? It's all too much for individuals.' Rudolf Steiner's answer in these lectures is bold and clear:

The only defence against these things is knowing about them. If you know about them, you are protected ... But you must not be idle about acquiring real knowledge of these things.
- Foreword toSecret Brotherhoods by Rudolf Steiner.

Daily mindfulness meditation seems to be the perfect choice for the so-called freedom/justice/truth-movements, the Deep Politics dissidents, whistleblowers, activists, etc. because they have awoken to the fact that there is a 'Darth Vader Empire' and they are under attack from the 'prisoners'that they try to 'liberate' who are in state of double-think, cognitive dissonance and captives by the treacherous mainstream media, indoctrination and courtesy of The Darth Vader Empire.

The prisoner returns to the cave, to inform the other prisoners of his findings, namely that they are in a prison. They do not believe him and threaten to kill him if he tries to set them free.
- on Plato's Cave and Socrates

Dissidents in the deep Rabbit Hole carry the burden of often depressing knowledge behind the censorship in mainstream media, and also the stigmatization and lack of understanding by their peers, friends, family, spouses, but to not identify with negative emotional reactions faced with injustice and the disbelief of one's peers is easier said than done.

Even though mindfulness has its own pitfalls (for some people more than others [2]) it will be of immense value.

While many vigilant dissidents  - who are aware of directed history/deep politics - often lack the spiritual awareness, most of the spiritual people lack awareness of directed history/deep politics (and the so-called sheeple lack both of the above).

Many among the spiritual vanguard are ignorant about deep politics/directed history, and they can therefore become unwitting pawns and supporters of elite memes and disinformation injected into the culture, fx. endorsers of Obama (who is worse than Bush according to Noam Chomsky fx) - just an example.




Such lack of awareness of reality constitutes gross ignorance about the 'Darth Vader-empire'- especially on the part of those spiritual people who have inklings of boddhistavic aspirations but are ignorant about these deeper developments of dark empire - many of the so-called spiritual leaders tend to disbelieve the claims made by so-called 'conspiracy theorists', and this constitutes a Boddhisatvic Cognitive Bypass, which can lead many of their millions of followers astray, because they unwittingly will function as gatekeepers* causing potential great harm by not being aware enough.[3].

(*The same accounts for Chomsky's followers, Chris Hedges', Michael Parenti's, Naomi Klein's, Naomi Wolf's - since they disregard many claims made by the 'conspiracy theorists'. These famous 'radical' intellectuals are supposed to be radical in a mainstream culture, but often kow-towing their fan base, they can't make too 'conspiratorial' statements, and therefore they are not at the ultimate cutting edge - accordingly they can - and often do - become inadvertent leftist gatekeepers.)

On the other hand,  what many of the activists/dissidents/'conspiranauts' seem to be unaware of is the necessity of inner work; shadow projection, transformation of negative emotions, spirituality, mindfulness meditation (perfect for the truth/justice/freedom-movements as they are hit hard by the chaos, being excessively aware of it). There is a huge amount of emotional reactivity going on, especially because this group have seen into the abyss.


What is characteristic of many of the politically awakened is that they belong to a new third segment, what we could call ‘conspiritual’ ( ‘conspiracy aware’ + spiritual). IMO a pristine priceless category of people.

Whereas the two groups – the activists and the spiritual – don’t seem to be complementing each other, the third group unifies them both.

Many spiritually inclined people often believe in the official narratives; global warming, overpopulation, peak oil, vaccines, etc. and other fabricated elite memes, and thus can also become useful idiots.

Vertical internal spiritual development does not in itself give birth to horizontal knowledge about concrete and often hidden causations in the external world. Non-duality is about transcendence of thoughts and emotions - the vertical process. Knowledge of the relative world is about the use of thought - a horizontal process.

So this means that even advanced meditators can become useful idiots. Why would Eckhart Tolle somewhat recommend Obama who by now has revealed himself to be worse than Bush! Or even Matthieu Ricard who believes in Anthropogenic Global Warming!
Non-dual consciousness does not provide knowledge and insight into dangers of fluoride, vaccines, aspartame, GMO, Monsanto, false flag terror, the deliberate dumbing down of entire populations, deep politics and directed history, global warming and CO2 swindle, etc. – unless you have a quite specific form of ‘always-ready clairvoyance’ which can substitute knowledge, discursive thought, logic and analysis.


Both a vertical awakening (transformation of negative emotions and transcendence of thought) + a horizontal knowledge (of ‘what is’ (it) will be necessary. Meditation and mindfulness will not make primary psychpathy, Bilderberg, CFR, TLC, Skull and Bones, False flags, vanish into thin air. This would imply that meditators, morphic resonance, or directed positive intention could somehow transform elite psychopaths in power into noble persons, nullifying their free will in the process, exalting their low emotional state to a sudden empathic level - which is wishful irrational thinking. Not going to happen with psychopaths, sorry. And many spiritually inclined people are not even aware of the depths and destructive influence of the 'Darth Vader Empire' in the first place!

We can only remove these entities if sufficient numbers of people are becoming aware of their destructive influence in the first place, apply thought and analysis, and then action. A vertical spiritual awakening (transformation, and transcendence of negative emotions and exclusive identification with thought) in the individual is necessary but it cannot remove these entities  - the domain of thought and analysis and subsequent skillful action is needed here.

"As we've seen, cultivating presence through meditation or yoga is not by itself an adequate way to address the complex global challenges we face. The "raising of consciousness," as it's popularly phrased in today's yoga and meditation communities, doesn't raise political consciousness. It doesn't make people more aware of what is violent and what is not, nor does it make them resist violence. An increase in presence in the world does not increase justice.....How would meditation or the experience of awakening change the politics of these various groups? The Black Panther Party, radical feminists, the tea party, the KKK, Goldman Sachs bankers or anti-abortion activists. Would it somehow make them all the same?"
http://www.tikkun.org/tikkundaily/2012/11/15/why-the-dalai-lama-is-wrong-to-think-meditation-will-eliminate-violence/
- Why the Dalai Lama is wrong to think meditation will eliminate violence

The third category - 'the conspiritual' (etymologically incorrect and a slang-neologism but anyway..) seems to be intertwining both the vertical and the horizontal in this respect, or many are at least cognizant of the necessity of both perspectives. This group is growing and being a unifying catalyst for bringing the 2 former categories - previously more irreconcilable groups - together. A more versatile and truly informed spearhead for both horizontal and vertical enlightenment.Spiritual people can become useful idots, since knowledge, discursive analysis, can't be replaced by the inner vertical alchemical process (leading to transcendence of negative emotions, absence of emotional reactivity, etc.)

Conversely; the 'conspiracy theorists' deep politics studies is no substitute for the interior vertical alchemical proces, the transformation of inner soul life.




Both things are needed optimally, the vertical spiritual process and the horizontal analysis  - Jedi Mind Underground -  that said; it doesn't mean that nothing good comes from the one or the other.

The Conspiritual underground will probably be the third unifying category with the greatest skillfiul meansin action (along with the activists fighting for the same cause against the 'Darth Vader-empire' but whose lack of spiritual training will make them much more emotionally reactive, at times in a state of rage, in a state of high distress, which is perfectly understandable, human nature considered, but nonetheless; their potential pitfall probably could be the hatred against NWO. The adage here applies; Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.[4]

[1]'Ken Wilber: Even if we are practicing the "power of Now", if we have got a first chakra-subpersonality that wants to eat now and if we have a second-chakra subpersonality that wants to fuck now, we cant really stay in the Now. So in addition to working on states and stages, if our consciousness is not freed up, we really have to work on our shadow.

Interviewer: In order to free up our consciousness, we have to own these repressed parts of ourselves - we have to embrace all of them, we have to bring light into all the dark and hidden corners of our self, we have to claim ownership of the entirety of our I - before we can authentically transcend our ego in the spiritual sense.

Wilber: Exactly. When we repress these impulses, we are not really transcending them and we are not even really disidentifying with them; we are dissociating from them. And this can become a very big problem.

So understanding this distinction enables us to tell the difference between two very conflicting instructions we are generally given by people who are trying to help us - therapists and meditation teachers - about how we should relate to different components of our own experience, for example anger. Gestalt therapy will tell you to identify with it; Zen will tell you to disidentify with it. So what should you do? If you are meditating and anger comes up, should you identify with it or disidentify with it? The answer is both, but in the correct sequence.... the meditative context is all about letting go, but we can only do that if we deal with our dissociated impulses first.'

[2]'To observe the mind without interfering sounds simple. Any one can do it in short streches from time to time.The difficulty is sometimes that one discovers the fact that what at first glance looks like mindfulness neutrality, is often a gentle repellent push, a subtle sedation of one's emotional troubles. a subtle saying 'no', or a subconsious steering towards the easy, the positive.

Suppression consists in selection; when pushing away and saying no, then the training in neutral observation will nullify one's suppression, in which case all the suppressed stuff (shadow sides, traumas, shocks, etc.) will creep up and appear from the cellars of the mind.

In other word; if there isn't a sufficient therapeutic processing of one's personality, it will be difficult to be authentically neutral in observation of one's inner content, in which case one can become emotionally unwinded.

An unprocessed personality will not allow the neutral observation to undermine the barriers of suppression. Mindfulness neutrality in such case will then not be truly neutral but underhandedly selective by maintaining the barriers of suppresion.' an elaborated translation from:

[3] An example:

By Foster and Kimberly Gamble

As some of you may know, ten of the people interviewed in our movie, THRIVE, have recently signed a public letter of dissociation from the film. They include Deepak Chopra, Duane Elgin, Amy Goodman, Paul Hawken, Edgar Mitchell, John Perkins, John Robbins, Elisabet Sahtouris, Vandana Shiva, and Adam Trombly. [1]

http://www.thrivemovement.com/public-dialogue-between-thrive-movie-filmmakers-and-pioneers

See also: Foster and Kimberly Gamble Discuss Feelings About THRIVE Dissociators

This is a clear example of disbelief and scepticism by spiritually inclined progressive and goodhearted people ( Deepak Chopra, Duane Elgin, Amy Goodman, Paul Hawken, Edgar Mitchell, John Perkins, John Robbins, Elisabet Sahtouris, Vandana Shiva, and Adam Trombly ) whose disbelief is ending up in a rationalized stockholm-syndrome in regard to the more extreme claims in the documentary film Thrive, and they will historically become known as inadvertent gatekeepers if the claims put forth in ‘Thrive’ is correct. Historians would write something like ‘these progressive and goodhearted pioneers with a huge following went very far, but ultimately not far enough, thus leading many people astray from the unpleasant but necessary truths due to their own disbelief and ignorance 

Even if the causality to these external problems ultimately lies on the inside of humanity, it does not mean that one should be unaware, not act and warn others about the dangers of deception and degeneration of the state, the corporatocracy, plutocracy, etc. The future is at stake and evil prevails when good people do nothing. How can they if they are unaware:

"...theories at the heart of Thrive are based on an ultimate division between "us" and "them." "We" are many and well-meaning but victimized.

[Are farmers in India not victimized by Monsanto? - just one example - then why cannot it apply to other powerful entities wreaking havoc and destruction? Just because Robbins don't know them?]


"They," on the other hand, are a tiny, greedy and inconceivably powerful few who are masterfully organized, who are purposefully causing massive disasters in order to cull the population, and who are deliberately destroying the world economy in order to achieve total world domination.


This way of thinking has an allure, for it distracts and absolves us from the troubling truth that the real source of the problem is in all of us..

[I ask; how are the farmers´lives in India absolved by pointing fingers at Monsanto as the concrete cause?]

.., and in the economic systems we have collectively produced. If the ills of the world are the deliberate intentions of malevolent beings, then we don’t have to take responsibility for our problems..


[logical fallacy, non sequiteur - how does the destruction of the farmers lives´ by Monsanto suddenly relinquish the farmers from continuing self-responsibility for their own lives? It doesn't!]


..because they are being done to us. Thinking this way may provide the momentary comfort of feeling exonerated, but it is ultimately disempowering, because it undermines our desire to be accountable for the way our own thoughts and actions help to create the environmental degradation and vast social inequity of the world in which we live. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote, "The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart."
- from John Robbins' Critique of THRIVE

If the thinking above was true in regard to Monsanto fx. (read: deliberate destructive malevolent technology at the expense of billions of people). then nothing would be accomplished - regardless of whether we ourselves are compassionate, have integrated our shadows and opened our hearts, worked on ourselves internally, etc. The inner journey does not exclude the awareness of the external landscape, however grim and unfamiliar. We could establish the best perfect decentralized spiritual community with highly individuated people, high interpersonal social intelligence, integrated shadows (in the Jungian sense), etc. and still be unaware of Monsanto's terminator GMO technologies and Geo-engineering polluting the beatiful crops and gardens of such eco-villages - pollen and particles blowing silently in the wind.

It has nothing to do with being 'absolved' or 'us vs them' cause Monsanto's destructive technologies or chemtrailswill still be operational whether we meditate or not, whether we say 'All is One' or 'Us VS them' (fallacy of irrelevance). Being aware of their agenda is the prerequisite for overthrowing/stopping them. And this has nothing to do with 'us VS them' in terms of emotional judgment (albeit understandable, given their disregard for farmers, murder of life, etc.) or lack of own responsibility but with knowledge, mental discernmentfirst, stripped of any emotional aversive component.


The paramount need for concrete knowledge in order to change the situation is pivotal. Otherwise we risk being in denial, ignorant and/or useful idiots in regard to many things. We have to work internally and externally with the right action and discernment hand in hand.

"The first is to open our minds, start taking responsibility back, and remove this edifice of control and suppression of information which will allow the full flow of knowledge of who we are to flood into the public arena. Once people start to realize who they really are and the nature of life, then we can go into stage two which is the incredible consciousness shift that is going to happen, and is happening for many people already, but can happen for everybody if we open up to the knowledge of what’s going on and to do that the edifice of suppression has to go. And what I see so often in … what we call New Age movement is that they’re focusing on the second bit and they’re in denial about about the first. And the second is not going to happen for many people unless we remove the edifice of suppression cause most people are going to think what the heck’s going on and they’re going to go through this great change in a complete fog of what’s happening. Two things to do here. One is to start focusing on how the world’s controlled, identify it and remove it. Secondly, then we can concentrate unhindered on the transformation spiritually."
- David Icke

Commenting on David Icke's point: Of course there are many positive and incredible breakthroughs happening. Even under the current 'Darth Vader' system, there is light, laughter, love, meditation, dance, joy of living, exuberance, fortunately and always, but that's not the point.  The discerning point is: If the positive states and activities don't address and solve the negative ones, it is rather absurd to use the truisms about positivity as an 'argument', when no causality exists (a form of logical fallacy, point of irrelevance, non sequiteur, etc.). As long as the diabolical modus operandi of the Dath Vader Empire' is unchallenged by our apathy or denial it will march on unabatedly, and the world will not be truly free. The fact that people work, meditate, dance, make love, etc. is great, but a truism that hardly is the point, since the murderous modus operandi of the 'Darth Vader Empire' and activities of elite-psychopaths aren't being challenged directly by dance, joy of living, meditation, etc. They are being challenged by awareness, knowledge and subsequenct action (it wasn't meditation that challenged and weakened Monsanto the last 6-10 years, but focus, vigilant activism based on research, morality and discernment. They are still a very powerful entity whose undoing depends upon a greater horizontal political awakening. Just one example of many).

The following quote applies also in the context above:

“There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”
- C.G. Jung

[4]  Nietzsche IMO is adressing the emotional reactive component, while the spiritual underground (who are aware of the 'Darth Vader Empire's Modus Operandi') to a much greater extent is free of negative emotions, and mentally more discerning in such a freedom fight, adhering to a cool mindset la Sun Tzu and non-attachment.  Both groups fight for the same, but the subjective negative pole is not as compelling among the more spiritual Deep Politics dissidents (Ole Dammegård might be a good common denominator of dissidents belonging to the third group, the unification of the activist and the spiritual; the conspiritual).

Any prisoner in The Matrix is shocked in the moment of gazing into the abyss.


And therefore mindfulness is necessary as calmness in the ongoing storm (not mindfulness as sedating adjustment to a pathological system which it is being used for also), but mindfulness as a reaction to the grim truth; the realization that there isa very destructive stealth-pathological systen, a storm,which is an unpleasant awakening, which is why equilibrium of the mind is especially necessary.

Two very different applications of mindfulness meditation. The first applies mindfulness as adjustment to an undetected prison depicted as a 'free society'. The second is the shock and realization that we dolive in a prison, and therefore searches for the exit while applying mindfulness as a necessary tool for awakened calmness in chaos, not mindfulness as misapplied lullaby.

We should practice mindfulness always anyway, but not adjust to a sick society (Krishnamurti said the same), not use mindfulness as misapplied adjustment to undetected slavery in Brave New World/the Truman Show. To rebel against evil while learning to be calm in chaos is to have Jedi Mind Underground.

Be Brave...
