“The
more real you get the more unreal the world gets.” ~ John Lennon
The
symbolic, associative, mythic Hindbrain deals in reacting and responding to
apparent opposites…true and false,
of good and evil, beautiful and ugly, value and lack of
value, joy and sorrow, activity and
passivity, positive and
negative, life and death, being and not-being, and so on. Thus the Borg
functions in irreconcilable dualisms where the two opposites seem to mutally
exclude one another…as thesis and antithesis. This juxtaposition of opposites
is observed in cultural habitus systems of sensationalism, empiricism,
materialism, mechanism, feudalism, association, the egoic mirage and
sensuality. The partial human is collectively united, not so much by their
conflict, but by their common vacuity, nescience, or absence of realization.
Lacking the compassionate embrace born of the loving synthesis of opposites the
divided human projects their own fear and weakness onto the world in an attempt
to triumph over uncertainty. And
in scaring themselves with their own projections they prevent the use and
development of the higher centers of the HUman anatomy and thus remain trapped
within the primitive operating mode of the arcane primate.
Whereas the more recently evolved
neocortex and prefrontal lobes in particular provide distance from the
automatic push and pull of opposites by establishing a synthesis. That is a
sentience, philosophy and wisdom of the universal, and therefore thought,
intuition and imagination, that is both at once difference and unity, discord
and concord, discrete and continuous, permanent and ever-changing, complement
or rival to. Having resolved the inner conflict through univeralism and
synthesis, the Taoist brain of the sovereign triumphs over opposition and
revels in uncertainty. Uncertainty or the unknown is grokked as the event
horizon of limitless possibility and infinite depths, unity in diversity, and
the marriage of heaven and earth. The dragon once tamed retreats to his lear (Anglo-Saxon word "lear"
meaning empty or void). Reality is a nexus of opposites, and is not
rendered dissipated, diminished and separated thereby. Unity or the Tao is not
had by not recognizing opposition, for reality is composed of both thesis,
antithesis and synthesis.
Not competition but
complementarism. Extracting
ourselves from the soul-fracking effects of power addiction requires that we
remove ourselves from the power struggle without winning or giving in, via the
proactive cocreation of an atmosphere of closeness, cooperation and trust where
there is no fear of blame, shame or pain. If
a sovereign complains about being a victim and feels self-pity then they are
not self-compassionate, nor are they sovereign. If they were self-compassionate
and self-determinate then they could remove themselves from whatever toxic
situation they cannot resolve. There is no con-structive relationship as long
as one of the parties in the transaction are operating from win/lose. The Borg
power world vaguely pretends to be win/win when they think it suites their
purposes, but really the basic law of the Borg world is win/lose, which can
ultimately only lead to dis-order. So essentially thrival in the Borg world
means that we must create a niche for ourselves that is post-Borg...for we
cannot maintain our sovereign integrity in a win/lose energy economy.
Anything
diseased that is dying tends to get progressively mean, aggressive and stupid;
speeding up the very processes of decay that bring about its downfall. So we
can assume that the madness and infringement on liberty will continue to ramp
up. The great challenge is to handle the bad behavior of power junkies (social
retards), but then it is no challenge at all, as they destroy their soul while
having fun doing it, so we too can enjoy their party...as long as we don't take
it personally or make ourselves out to be a victim. It is interesting that to
become a person, we must become a transperson. The
personal level in us is aghast, disappointed, insulted or whatever to attacks
from the lower memes, but if you look really closely at the energy exchange you
see that the attacker can only see you through their lens...so in a sense they
are only shadow boxing their own demons, thus whatever they say and do we
cannot take it personally.
The more
they ramp up their power intoxicated madness, the easier it is for us to extricate
our responsibility, reactivity and involvement from the exchange. Thereby
setting up a safe viewing vantage point from which we can simply watch the
drama unfold at a distance…(or not as such entertainment is a bore.) The more
we shift to Fair Witness viewing mode the easier it is to handle any flavor of
Borg insanity our day has in store for us. When we "expect" bad
behavior, it no longer throws us, and good behavior becomes a pleasant
surprise. The mark of a mature sovereign would be compassion for those who do
not yet know that infringing on the sovereignty of another begin hurts the
abuser most…for if they continue in such ignorance they will never find their
way home to inner peace and self love.
The idea
that Buddhism will win is not a Buddhist idea. In sovereignty we seek to remove
the anti-freedom Borg repression in ourselves so that we can reduce our
suffering and the suffering of others. Because freedom from suffering is the
opposite of the Borg. Thus we work from the compassionate need to reduce the
suffering of all beings. Sovereignty is the New Buddhism. Sovereignty will
"win" because sovereignty or “the sanctity of life” already IS the
indisputable Truth. The integrity of a nation’s sovereignty is based on the
integrity of the personal sovereignty of its citizens. Since domination and
violence ignoblizes any animal, tyrannical or Machiavellian government is the
worst blight to befall a nation. Errant leadership is even worse than
invasion…for at least with invasion the people have the opportunity to openly
fight back. Not being able to carry out “The Heroic Action” in the face of a
nedulous, treacherous
enemy makes broken cowards of us all. With the
people’s money being spent on “public relations” to ensure that the war games
continue…we are living in a silent tyranny of global proportions.
The
sovereignty meme is indisputable fact and as plain as the light of day. I
imagine 100% of people one thousand years in the future will know that “the
sanctity of life” already IS the indisputable Truth. I am merely saying we
don't have to live like sick stupid animals if we study ourselves
anthropogically and work towards absolute sovereignty for all beings (except
for sociopathic ones). Since we live in a sociopathic civilization (notice the sardonic
oxymoron) we must with conscious compassion work to free Spirit from the
sickness of a broken Mankind. As we incorporate ever greater scientific
knowledge into our species story so too will our use of symbols and myths
become more comprehensive and applicable to our contemporary and future growth
as a species. The ancient myths like the 16 crucified Christs (annual sun's
passage) need to be seen for what they are and not taken literally to retard
brain/soul development of the flock and feed corrupt institutions.
We may
have to band together for sanity promoting meditation sessions, work projects
and living-communities. We must move directly and determinedly towards the new
world to remain immune from the craziness of the old culture as it dies. It is
a waste of time trying to convert others who haven't even heard the herald of
the new age, nor are aware they are living within a dying beast. We must find
others going in a similar direction at a similar speed. Even one person who turns on to sovereignity in a community
slowly infests their unique personal maturity into the collective. They may be
persecuted for doing so, but there are gorilla-type means like stickers that
are fun and don't gain any personal push-back. Every sovereign can bring their
own gift to the reevolutionary campaign...and if it an't fun, it an't
sovereign. Only Spirit knows the way out of
the box!
The
beauty of sovereignty as a life philosophy is that the buck always stops with
us…and this is our ticket to freedom! So it is always an inside job, even if
the whole world is going to pot around us. Blaming external people and events
merely holds us back from the sovereign empowerment to change our inner and
outer condition. Sovereignty also protects us from spiritual materialism to a
degree as we know we can get most of what we need from inside ourselves and
from nature. Therefore we don't rush around being a spiritual groupie, buying
the icons, talismans and accessories, nor do we try to pump up our status
within a spiritual community. Sovereignty compared to current spiritual clicks
may look decidingly uncool and boring, because we are not "aping" the
current spiritual fashions. Meanwhile a volcano of cosmic connectivity and bliss
bubbles within...only to be seen by those whom are similarly lit.
Producing
or radiating out of fullness (cosmic connectivity) requires the
health/wholeness of the bodymind so as it is not an impediment to the depth,
originality, specificity, humor of the moment and so we have the endurance to
continue the Witnesss into all moments. The reason why we are so broken and
descended as a species is because we have destroyed our bodymind with out
antilife culture and we have continued the malevolent power orientation of our
baboon-like nature into 21st Century. Both the physical and social domains must
be rectified and redeemed in order for higher HUman society to begin. Unless
people undergo study of sovereign philosophy and practice, universal law,
rawfood diet, anthropogeny, sociobiology, dearmoring/detoxing, right-livelihood
and establish a social environment that is nontoxic to the higher neurogenesis
of their brains and hearts.....there is no possibility of a genuinely HUman
life. That is we cannot rise above the crowd of the fallen, if we continue
fallen thought, emotion, deeds and conditions. If we have greater context, greater information and greater vision...then we are no longer a danger to ourselves.
The
sovereign has a God given license to BE.
The dream of duality is defined by sleepers and always has been. To paint those that sleep as nefarious Borg of the hivemind is to animate, Frankenstein-like, a creation that only reifies duality for the sovereign. Perhaps that image serves to keep one moving in the right direction.
ReplyDelete"Religion is just the ultimate hustle. Why can't God just defeat the devil? Its the same reason a comic book character can't defeat his nemesis...then, there's no story..." -Bill Maher
Which is really what nonduality is getting at: no story. History is the procession of duality, written by the victor over the vanquished, in all forms.
Just sayin. You are an inspiring writer, Jana.
Thanks Jeff I realize the contradiction in my diatribe, but I feel the least I can do is to leave these dribblings for people to follow or amuse themselves as they traverse through the confusion of the chickens of the last 13K years come home to roast. If we have greater context, greater information and greater vision...then we are no longer a danger to ourselves.
