THE SELF-CRITIC ~ SOVEREIGNTY AND FLOW

Overactive Judicial Center: The lateral frontal pole in the ventrolateral frontal cortex area of the human brain is vital for pondering the ‘what ifs’ of life and judging right from wrong. This section of the brain associated with the ability to spot bad decisions and thinks over what we might have done instead, thus giving us the capacity to avoid them in future is a uniquely human trait. The Lateral PFC goes quiet during the Flow State...thereby reducing self-editing (repression/inhibition/superego). The inspired spontaneity, awe-filled Grace state of improv, rapping, poetry, falling in love, music jamming, genius-creativity, writer’s high, invention, visions and peak spiritual experience arise from a quieting of the judicial center of the brain. What does this say about self-inhibition, self-judgment and self-limitation?

Social reticence, shyness, low self-esteem, social withdrawal accompanying depression, sensitivity to sociopathy, vulnerability to the Powerhoe could all arise from a case of the lateral frontal cortex being over-active thereby increasing self-consciousness to the point of pain. Ratings of shyness-eliciting events reveal that interactions with strangers, especially those of the opposite sex or in positions of authority, situations requiring assertive behavior, and explicitly evaluative settings such as job interviews, provoke the strongest feelings of social anxiety (Russell, Cutrona, & Jones, 1986; Watson & Cheek, 1986).

Vigilance, or the action or state of keeping careful watch for possible danger or difficulties, from the Latin vigilantia/vigilare ‘ to keep awake,’ can be set on such habitual high alert that life itself becomes painful and unrewarding. Learning to tone down our reptilian brain and build a more self-assured prefrontal overseer is essential to generating the energy reserves, sense of well-being and confidence necessary to establish a sovereign life. That is, we cannot fully develop or mature if our self-reflexive judicial observation center causing us too much friction, second guessing, double-binds, hesitation, paralysis, inhibition and neurosis. Leaving us to suffer a crippling case of suspended animation—a life on hold. Afraid to venture, dream, scheme, plan, strategize or put one foot in front of the other in life.

The lack of faith in life, world-weariness, oversensitivity to conflict, and fear of constant predation and ridicule make life untenable to the hyper-conscious and the hyper-conscientious. Dejection and self-rejection go hand in hand. Conscientiousness is the personality trait of being thorough, careful, or vigilant, and implies a desire to do a task well. If our agentic capacity to propel ourselves forward in life is insufficient to cope with our environment, plus our desire to conscientiously perform is not realized…and yet we have a hyper-active judgmental center, our existence is then plagued by a series of brink walls, pits of quicksand, false starts and cul-de-sacs. Thus we fail to achieve a sense of reward in being “us,” and our life is not a bowl of cherries, but a bowl of rancid, cold stew.

When we fail to achieve life-satisfaction, intrinsic joy and pleasure no amount of good intentions can make up for our sense of deep loss and dejection…and ultimately we fail to maintain the tenacity, persistence, stamina, and grit to keep going, and we enter a crisis of creativity and conscience. When we enter that crisis, rather than wallow in that quagmire for the rest of our lives, we must choose to let go of our hardened judge, stop beating ourselves up for under-achievement, and step out into the new, the novel and the creative edge. In those with high creative ability, conscientiousness is negatively related to creative accomplishments, perhaps because an over-active Lateral PFC prevents the creative Flow State through excessive self-editing, repression, inhibition and second-guessing.

The degree of entrepreneurial executive capacity of our parents…that is their agentic will to achieve their just desires…will largely determine where we stand in our own sense of hope and accomplishment vs. futility and disappointment. Presovereign parents locked in a loveless marriage, mindlessly carrying out their duties at the expense of their own self-actualization and fulfillment, will in effect lead to the castration of their children’s sovereign will as well. If parents are fragmented and at war with themselves, then they're going to pass that on to the child; the only quality of life for a child is their emotional relationships. With regards to expectation and performance we internalize our parents’ superego, which in turn becomes our own superego by default. Thus if we had a cold, anxious, critical mother and a ridiculing, unsupportive father then our own judicial superego will be uncompassionate, self-hating and subversive.

The false power/disempowerment dichotomy of the sadomasochistic enemy within not only confounds our capacity for growth, but undermines our enjoyment of success and rewards as well. This leaves us without the courage for life, expressed as a general lack of encouragement and heart needed for the perseverance and will-power to rise to the challenges and changes that life presents. Thus we always feel overwhelmed and not quite up to the task of life no matter what circumstance we find ourselves in as we are not “at home” in our own being. While we are not really “at home” we are an easy pushover to being hijacked by the wills and needs of others. For the socially anxious individual self-consciousness is actually other-consciousness…as we become uncentered or pulled out of ourselves by our oversensitivity to the opinions of others. False power and disempowerment is the anathema of the sovereign, who will not tolerate the toxic social stress for more than the length of time it takes to realize it is happening.

Quieting down the lateral PTL through self-regulation, meditation and mindfulness to elicit the Flow and Awe state will ultimately promote freedom from a subversive superego that is holding back our life. Refusing to put off our true purpose anymore will force us to move from stoic dependability and self-sacrifice to being able to tolerate the disorderliness, conflict and risk necessary to become truly creative. The insecure must let go of the safety line of codependency and become fiercely independent in order to grow up and join the human race as creative, interdependent sovereign. To not do so is to forgo the chance that our parents did give us to realize our HUman potential.

We are both limited by or facilitated by the negative or positive qualities of our inner-parents (superego). As we go through life we adopt countless relationships with psuedo parents as we unconsciously key into the superegos of others. We remain a child, psychically open to socioemotional hypnotism as we play out "unfinished business" or developmental challenges and stages. We grow in sovereignty as we succeed in attuning to our own truth and doing what is best for ourselves - without either giving our power away or succumbing to numbing in an effort to serve others at our own expense.

Our higher HUman circuitry can only develop if and when we resolve the conflict within our inner-parents through inner-couples counseling if you will. Mindfulness as to our difficulties, problems, conflicts, deficits and blocks and how they relate to our family of origin will determine what work needs to be done to establish a more compassionate relationship to ourselves by eliminating the default sadomasochistic (sub/dom) condition of our superego. This opening up of the lid of our consciousness by healing the relationship between the masculine and feminine within is the greatest source of energy for enlightenment, creativity, bliss and sovereignty.

The whole jist of sovereign evolution is to overcome the inner turmoil of domestic violence in our brain via compassionate Fair Witnessing. Sadomasochism is rife in society even when there is no overt abuse, violence or disharmony. Since we ARE IT, it is very hard to see the lens through which we relate to ourselves and the world. We have to become disillusioned by facing reality before we can grow beyond the conditions that support our repression and captivity. Only the gnawing pain of dissatisfaction and the mounting pressure of dysfunction alert us to the entropic, wasteful nature of our condition. The sub/dom duality of the Hindbrain Borg is holding most of us back in the dark ages, and threatening the very existence of the earth.

The Borg is the Hindbrained human remember...while the Sovereign is the Wholebrained, or presenced human. Unless we discover some remarkable methods for brain regrowth (promyelinating exosomes, rejuvenating frequencies, ecovillages, neurophillic electromagnetics, neurogenesis supplements) we are stuck with starting at the 1% potential we are left with. But with a small amount of self-training in observation we can keep the Janus of perception alive to equally perceive the inner and outer worlds at the same time. Humanizing or sovereignizing begins with the dual eye of awareness...the simultaneous inner and outer eye. We may still act robotically, BUT we are aware of the fact that we are doing so. The Hindbrain however, is embedded in impulse/instinct/reaction, which is predetermined through the robotic repetition of the unconscious and conscious memory of the past. This is why we make a joke about humans never learning from history or the past...because when we are operating from Hindbrain dominance we lack the aerial perspective of the Fair Witness and its capacity for creative and autonomous choice. True learning from history would require a stage development to Wholebrain dominance.

Wholebrain dominance is obviously a matter of integrating the Triune or 8 circuit brain through autonomic nervous system regulation and Heart meditation. The heart integrates the various evolutionary structures in the brain, so that that which we're thinking, feeling, and acting become a single integrated whole. Instead of being fragmented and neurotic we become authentic and integrated (integrity)  ie: more empowered and effective in our life than we ever were before. As Joseph Chilton Pearce says, surrender to the great intelligence of the heart and everything is radically changed, including our intellect.

Wholebrain dominance and the Fair Witness, or Presence, comes and goes with our energy levels, self-care and environmental cues…this is why the visionary ecopods are essential for HUman evolution, because the environment, the emotional-cognitive-intellectual ambience and lifestyle is created expressly to support higher HUman cognition. As it is now, we have to make a muscular effort to stand against the tide of devolution, our own addiction to destruction and desire for death. The good news is that we do have a “small” window of personal liberty and resource availability to collectively make a push for Civilization Next.

It goes without saying that in a sub/dom false power society that consciousness is set to unuse, misuse and abuse as a matter of default. Thus conflict and confusion is implicit in the underlying fabric or substrate of Borg reality...that we make such a good go of it despite the chessboard being rigged against sovereign freedom and autonomous choice is truly remarkable. Thus our very difficulty with this end-stage Borg world shows great promise of what is to come...and I feel we are on the verge of a mega-breakthrough…perhaps through our understanding of the brain.

It is said that the Flow state is achieved via the slowing down of activity in the prefrontal cortex, but this calming of activity does not represent an absence of consciousness in the forebrain, but an increase in the Presence of consciousness. In the Flow state the self-critic and self-consciousness disappears not because the prefrontals go offline, but because the Hindbrain stops hijacking the forebrain and ceases to generate the cacophony of alert mental activity associated with beta brain waves. Thus the natural evolutionary hierarchy of the brain stands on its base, rather than being ass up. Integration means less “noise” such that consciousness can ultimately be elevated to cosmic connectivity or sovereignty…as evidenced in states of Presence, Flow and Awe.

Presence, Flow and Awe is moving from the Hindbrain hack to the Gamma range in which fragmentation and “noise” are reduced and Wholebrain synchronization occurs. Further research may discover that awe, Flow and eureka chemistry is similar to that of near death or lucid dreaming in which wholebrain synchronization causes a temporary rise in super vivid lucid reality—a supra-reality if you will. In gamma brain wave activity virtually all of the brain's higher cortical regions begin to operate on a common frequency, somewhere in the 30- to 40-hertz bandwidth, generating "flow," with being "in the zone.” 

The gamma brain wave state is as pleasurable as it is powerful via the production of neurochemical dopamine, the fuel of the brain's reward circuitry. The highest state of cognitive processing occurs when gamma waves prevail. Laughter is the best medicine! Humor, laughter or mirth associated with genuine joy creates gamma brain waves similar to meditative bliss that enables the brain to enter the highest state of cognitive processing where learning is facilitated. Flow and Awe promotes unconditional love and altruism, gratitude and compassion, and trains the brain for creativity.

Researchers have created a drug that makes people more sensitive to inequality, more likely to share resources and generally more compassionate - in other words, it makes them kinder and more altruistic. The drug, called tolcapone, prolongs the effect of dopamine in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. Tolcapone is already used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease as it changes the neurochemistry of the brain by prolonging the effect of dopamine, the hormone associated with reward and motivation in the prefrontal cortex. Previous research has shown that fairness or economic inequality is regulated by our prefrontal cortex. 

Tolcapone-takers tended to give more money to strangers under the drug's influence showing that under the drug's influence, players were more sensitive to and less tolerant of social inequality. The effect of dopamine’s association with reward and motivation in the prefrontal cortex points to a mechanism for why mercenaries are without mercy. Dopamine in the prefrontal lobes are the circuits governing free-will, proactivity, assertiveness, and compassionate caretaking (socialwork). The more these are exercised the more we become sovereign in our own life...wherein higher use of the brain for social uplift becomes the drug of choice.

Gamma wave is a heightened state of conscious awareness similar to the "highly lucid and realer-than-real mental experiences reported in near-death experiences. If reality itself is always incomplete, each moment becomes complete in itself. Going after higher performance rewards and Flow states increases our sense of altruism and abundance. The active seeking of positive reward chemistry not only prevents us from stooping to the negative reward chemistry of the Powerhoe, or pathological narcissist, but it also habituates our brain to happiness, which directly and subliminally protects us from attracting power-abuse from others. In this way we become immune to learned helplessness, victimhood, identity crises and depression. 

The visionary mind probes the imagination through adjacent possible realities into the highest, most wonderous, joyous potential futures. Gnosis or connecting the dots through writing, scientific eureka, creative design or any creative act encompassing the Flow state provides us with positive reward chemistry…that does not necessarily have a downside except for a short period of rest and recovery after the peak experience.

Volitional Daydreaming—One such method of achieving positive reward chemistry is daydreaming. Positive daydreaming is known to reinforce and enhance social skills, offer relief from boredom, provide opportunities for rehearsal and constructive planning, and provide a ongoing source of pleasure. Thus positive constructive daydreaming has an adaptive role in our lives and is associated with openness to new experience, reflection, curiosity, sensitivity, and exploration of ideas, feelings, and sensations. Four basic adaptive functions include: Forward thinking/future planning; creativity/creative problem solving; attentional cycling/meaning making; dishabituation/breaking perspective. Daydreaming also offers “constructive internal reflection” for socioemotional skills including compassion, taking anothers’ perspective, moral reasoning, understanding the implications of emotional responses, and deriving meaning from events and past experiences.

Lucid Dreaming—In Lucid Dreaming the dreamer knows that what she’s seeing and feeling is a dream, not reality—and with that awareness comes the ability to make decisions about changing the dream’s course of events. New evidence suggests that lucid dreaming constitutes a new state of consciousness with distinct differences from waking and from REM sleep. Lucid dreams occur not just in the REM frequencies (delta and theta range), but also higher frequency gamma band, peaking at around 40 Hz. This effect is strongest in the frontal and frontolateral areas of the brain, which are considered to be the seat of linguistic thought and higher awareness. The altered states of meditation have been scientifically linked with gamma brainwave frequencies and the ability to lucid dream. Also zapping the prefrontal lobes of sleeping volunteers with the 40 Hertz gamma wave band, produces brain waves of the same frequency, which triggers lucidity 77% of the time, leading participants’ to feel insight (knowing that they were dreaming).

The child is born with an infinite capacity for love and intelligence but by the age of 14 Borg society has stripped us of our genius and molded us into a conformist slave. We may only have 1% of our autonomous conscious faculty left to us to use, but if we use it well, we can start to regrow some of our mental and spiritual potential that we lost through unuse, misuse and abuse. Nutrition, the Inner Arts, exercise and an enriched environment will encourage the regeneration of our central nervous system. However, the most important factor in the development of the sovereign brain and the recovery of the soul is being surrounded by a post-sadomascochistic society. Because we are fundamentally wired as a social creature a trans-Borg community is absolutely essential to both achieve and maintain personal sovereignty. Once the sovereign brain is established we are plugged directly into the heartbeat of the universe and the triggers, impulses and insults from the outer world are filtered through the Fair Witness...that doesn't "take things personally."

Creativity is associated with disobedience, disorderliness, breaking rules and a tolerance for ambiguity and risk. Self reliance, confidence in our own ideas and less dependency on others, eventually lead to higher levels of novelty and creativity. Creative people manage to silence the inner critic, lack concern about what others think, and lack of a desire to do everything just right. Transcending the social inhibitory effect of the superego may be exactly what is needed to persevere in the long-term, despite setbacks and despite criticism. Failure and mistakes are a crucial part of learning and creativity, while too much people pleasing, conscientiousness, dependability and orderliness may prevent the amount of failure necessary for creative genius. Creative individuals tend to be more self-contained, independent, and intrinsically motivated (lower dependability/orderliness) while also being more driven, persistent, and gritty (higher industriousness/achievement).

The ability to question reality is a self-authoring executive function that normally arises in adolescence. The creativity inherent in the self-authoring brain provides the “space” and expansiveness necessary to metabolize power stress in a positive productive manner. Whereas the socially compliant Hindbrain must conform and react to the given social conditions. In this way amplifying executive self-determinism allows us to establish our own homeo-regulating method of preserving our brain matter from the caustic rampage of the Powerhoe. Note however that we do have to continually up our game as our observation of the machinations of power abuse become ever more acute as we develop the Fair Witness sensitivity of the sovereign. We notice the Powerhoe more, but it affects us less.

Paul McLean of the Triune Brain theory found that the majority of our ego awareness -- our personality, our awareness of selves in the world – is processed through the two animal brains, and only the tiniest fragment of it through the intellectual brain. Our subconscious is said to travel at 2500 mph while the speed at which our conscious intellectual brain moves is only 120 mph. This is why instinct, intuition and emotion often supercedes rational thought, especially in the spur of the moment.

According to Joseph Chilton Pearce by age six, a child has an infinite capacity of adapting to any kind of pattern given; a six-year-old is able to adapt to, modify to, modulate to, imprint to anything. At age twelve, a chemical is released by the brain and starts dissolving that neural mass that has not been activated by being given the proper stimulus of models, people, exemplars out there, who represent these capacities for the child. By age fourteen eighty percent of that neural brain mass is dissolved and absorbed into the cerebrospinal fluid from disuse. That neural tissue unprotected by fatty myelin sheathing which is laid down during patterning is discarded.

Structurally, the brain continues to increase in total volume until the age of approximately 14 years. Total white matter volume continues to increase into the early 20s, frontal and parietal grey matter volume peaks at approximately 14 years of age before declining, and the grey matter in the occipital and temporal lobes continues to increase until 20 years of age. The decrease in grey matter volume particularly from the frontal regions is probably due to the streamlining of the developing brain on the basis of experience and pertinent environmental needs—the “use it or lose it” theory. 

It is the thinking brain, our intellectual brain or neocortex, which occupies eighty percent of the skull, that we lose eighty percent of in adolescence, but the two animal brains we utilize one hundred percent of, and they never lose anything. Emotional energy is the energy that holds all patterns into their formal relationships and maintains all relationships. Our brain imprints, and makes all its neural patterns, according to the suggestions given or implied within the child's ambient environment. Ninety-five percent of all learning and memory that the brain lays down in that neural patterning takes place beneath conscious awareness. While only five percent of those neural patterns will result from all of our training of our children, all of our disciplines of our children.

Providing set and setting or generating positive feedback loops  through environmental enrichment of produces exosomes that mimick a promyelinating effect and promote the proliferation of neural stem cells, supporting myelination of the gray matter and preserving memory and cognitive function. In this way we can precommit to a neurologically stimulating life by setting ourselves up for Flow, Awe and neurogenesis. Since we are largely driven and created by our unconscious, we must use the small conscious ratio of our awareness to support the lower brains…the reptilian, limbic and old mammalian.

• Reimagination—The stresses of human reality do not seem to go away over the course of our life, but are a reoccurring theme to which we either succumb or find ways to meta-adapt to and rise above. There is childhood PTSD, workplace PTSD, relationship PTSD, ecoshock and existential doom. The desire to fall and not get up is a symptom of our burnout and exhaustion from successive traumas and disappointments that we fail to completely recover from. Unless we have a strong will or training in stress relief and meta-adaptation the accumulated weight of stress eats away at our ability to get back up and keep going. The unbearable gravity of systematic stress prevents the joy, Flow, awe state through which a reimagination of our lives could come into being. The learned helplessness from repetitive PTSD makes it hard to have new ideas and too easy to give up. Depression thus represents the inability to construct a future, and to believe that a desired future is possible. Thus unmetabolized stress is the eater of dreams. Breaking this one way train to hell requires a conscious muscular effort to slay the dragon of systemic stress as many times as it takes to get on top of it and triumph over our triggers and our circumstances. Proadaptation to stress can be as systematically constructive as stress is deconstructive, and in this way we build a new life for ourselves out of the dying bones of the old. Some of the steps necessary to proadaptation are: Diagnosis, Assessment, Declaration, Preparation, Precommitment, Practice, Execution, Reassessment and Regrouping.

• Walk the Path and the Way and the Skills Appear—You create your reality by your perception of it...in this sense there is no reality but the one you perceive. With Kundalini awakening your reality becomes greatly expanded...there is no point talking to doctors about this...for there is no medication that will save us from reality...reality always gets us in the end, so we might as well surrender to it. The universe is hyperbolic and new growth requires death of the old, that is growth emerges out of former stages. During kundalini awakenings we go through many cycles of influx-grace, dieoff, regrowth, and substantiation. Contemporary medicine and psychiatric medicine work against these natural rhythms—it seems we are doing everything in our power to avoid reality and prevent our evolution.

Trying to fit your experience of reality into any thought system, science or philosophy is pointless. Reality is too big to be known or understood by the mind. You can play with concepts and paint pretty word pictures...but it is just poetry to help you maintain your foothold in infinity. Much better to relax into the flow of reality than to try and grasp it as a "thing." The real safety and pleasure is achieved by letting go of our need to know and melting into the bliss of nothingness. Nature is your guru and your heart is your guru. In order to grow and substantiate find some vocation that will help you heal with plants, children, animals, arts etc...You will not feel stable in a vacuum, you have to do something productive with your life. See what the world is asking of you to do...this will help you grow and feel more solid.

The Way encompasses everything on earth and in heaven...thus if we aim to run around trying to "fix" everything to align it with Shambhala we would probably be locked up as a disruptive influence on the status quo. Certain people have cottoned onto A Way that works brilliantly for them, while at the same time serving the whole. Jason Silva with his Shots of Awe is a case in point.

VICTIM NO MORE!

STOPPING FAMILIAL SOCIAL CRIME

The Sovereignty Law and Reparations Justice Approach to Workplace Bullying, Domestic Violence and Child Abuse

Sovereign Law is restorative it is not punitive or disciplinary it is focused on disciplines or principals. When it comes to systemic intergenerational social disharmony and dis-ease a legal system based on punishment is worse than useless. Social jurisprudence acts on the front side of the problem by examining and healing the actual power-abuse phenomena itself, rather than regular law that deals with crimes after they have been committed. Because legal law is actually harmful in reinstating social justice we must build a parallel system for social jurisprudence that aims at educating, counseling and reparations to victims. Besides an actual institute that victims can go to for help with a social problem, this new social organization also aims to rehabilitate perpetrators to grow beyond their pathological behaviors. Both perpetrators and victims (sadists and masochists) enter into a counseling and retraining program to modify their pattern of engagement. Followed up with more advanced training periods until their relationship has been resolved and become harmonious, if not grace filled.

If victims endure abuse for an extended period and enable the violent, addicted and harmful behavior of a perpetrator, then when children are involved, the victim is also liable under regular law for bringing harm to the children through their part in an abusive relationship. Hence “Victim No More” is the slogan for a new type of social engineering that aims to fundamentally change the Hindbrain patterns of relating to the Prefontal lobe patterns of relating. Sovereign Law and Reparations Justice must begin in kindergarten with the training of children in positive social behavior via stories, movies, modeling and an eye’s wide open approach to curbing sociopathology as it arises in the home and the classroom. If we are proactive in adopting what really works we can preserve the cognitive-emotional growing space for children and adults alike. Let us cure social illness and social crime BEFORE it starts…and avoid trillions of dollars in health and psychiatric fees, and start focusing of excellence, liberation and human enlightenment.

Even with respect to creativity, productivity, Gross Domestic Product and the Social Progress Index this type of agentic social reform makes infinite more sense than the predacious law, damaging penal system, and limited social welfare and psychological industries we have now. Codependency and predator/prey roles retard the spiritual evolution of the individual and the culture as a whole, and directly opposes the establishment of enlightened society. As long as the Hindbrain sadomasochistic society exists and people think they can get away with preying on each other and avoiding their own self-development, the species will never mature to its full potential. Spiritual maturity is an organic, life-long process of sanctification and apotheosis, or becoming a living god. If we are so fearful that we resort to codependency in order to survive then we actually prevent the spiritual awakening that will liberate our creativity and propel us out of survival mode.

Stopping Hindbrain familial abuse is the principle method of reinstating Homo sapiens as a viable productive member of the earth’s biosphere. Sovereignty law and reparations justice are the main disciplinary processes by which we may rapidly move to the creative-visionary civilization within one or two generations. In order to halt the murder/suicide of planet earth we must openly face and transcend the dark legacy of the abuse of sovereignty within families and organizations. Law, order and justice around the care and protection of children should be the highest law of the land. Sovereignty law for the conduct of man and wife for the protection of children is the most important area of social reform and humanitarian legislation. Stress isn't a threat, it's a signal to change. If what we are doing isn’t working and is in effect creating incalculable suffering and holding back human progress, then we must do whatever possible to change. 

Parents are naturally liable for and entrusted with the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being of their children. Parents that abuse their position of trust and endanger their children are criminals under sovereignty law. If a perpetrator parent commits crimes against their children, then the enabler parent is also liable and responsible for the crimes. If the child discloses those crimes, then the enabler must respond compassionately, lovingly and with contrition...admitting their shared responsibility for the social crime. That is, the perpetrator/enabler marriage in hell must be broken as a force of social intergenerational carnage.

Just because you are a victim it doesn't absolve you of the responsibility of protecting others from the violence of false power. In fact being a victim behooves you to act to preserve the sovereign right of others to live free of exposure to evil, torment and mental-moral illness. Being a victim is not an excuse to lie down and take it, victimhood is a call to arms to stand your sovereign ground against the oppressor, and to dismiss abusers from your life once and for all.

If enablers were also legally bound to answer for the crimes of their perpetrator spouse, then the fact will hit home that both parties are contracted with equal responsibility for building a peaceful, safe, sane, happy and healing home for the raising and nurturing of children. Both spouses are morally bound and required to be HUman in their treatment of and relations with their children. In sovereignty philosophy and psychology...willingly subjecting oneself to incapacitating abuse is delinquent and a dereliction of duty to life. Thus being a victim of abuse is no excuse for the gross miscarriage of justice in letting "harm," in whatever form, come to one's children or oneself.

It is a consequence of the systemic-cultural sadomasochistic brain damage that we do not clearly see that both oppressor and oppressed are equally responsible and accountable to the health of a relationship. Under sovereignty law a victim or submissive cannot claim abdication from responsibility for the degree of fitness or sickness of the relationship. If the children of abusive marriages can engage a legal process of seeking emotional reparations for the suffering they endured during their upbringing, we may start to see a dissolving of the unconscious, habitual conflict within perpetrator/victim marriage relationships. Victims will have to face the fact that they willingly put their children in harms way in order to spread the load of abuse. In the eyes of sovereignty law an adult victim who fails to protect a child IS a perpetrator or a traitor with respect to the safety and well-being of children caught within dysfunctional marriages. In sovereignty law and reparations justice we are not seeking to blame anyone for a crime, we are seeking to undermine the conditions in which the continuity of unconscious abuse is even possible.

That enablers passively permit family violence for years and put up with harm to themselves and their children is a social crime of the highest order, and must be stopped by whatever means possible to prevent ongoing arrested development and damaged lives generation, after generation. The social power abuse carnage must be stopped by whatever means possible...public announcements and media, movies and theatre, social discourse, education, education of infants in sovereignty, countrywide walking campaigns, counseling, therapy, training, legislation, website forums, books, videos and audio podcasts etc...

Of course I am not merely advocating victim bashing. What I am trying to say is that the solution to the ongoing tyranny of the Powerhoe is to make victimhood impossible by eliminating it as a default option. When we allow ourselves to be victimized we let down creation and betray the future, and turn our backs on all the children of the world. The solution to the carnage of false power is to teach the connection of sovereign presence to children, and how not to put up with all the many attacks on personal power. To teach them also to masterly defend the sovereign rights of others and to deal with false power in an extra-ordinary fashion. Our evolutionary salvation has to start somewhere...and that place is in our relationship to ourselves, to others and the world.

There is no honor, no refuge and no ground left to stand on for an abused spouse. In the establishment of a sacred childrearing home victimhood is not an option. Being a martyr is not holy it is a cop out! The betrayal of sovereignty, either passively or aggressively, is the great failing of the spiritually disenfranchised human. All our problems stem from this. We cannot be an evolutionary couple unless we are first sovereign as individuals. We join in love to celebrate and liberate our beloved and our children when we stand in our own true light and let nothing shade our being from the grace of eternal sunshine.

Achieving Sovereignty or cosmic consciousness requires us to abide by sovereign law, rather than man’s law, social convention or cultural programming. Sovereign law is non-punitive for it sees right through the pleasure/reward system of the Borg’s social behavioral modification system. Sovereign law, sovereign principles and sovereign psychology and philosophy arise from a deep, holistic understanding of how the Universe runs. The highest imperative under sovereign law is the expansion of consciousness, and so the entire judicial system is based on “learning.” Learning from our crimes, our mistakes and our successes. And by learning we grow forward, furthering the evolutionary journey of life in the universe, until the universe itself comes to the end of its life.

Power equivalency is the blatantly obvious first principle tenet of sovereignty law, thus if we fail to achieve power equivalency in our marriages, then our social structure is not based on the Universal template and so is doomed to failure. The power addict is “stuck” because they are rewarded with dopamine from abusive behavior thus are not amenable to rational, moral or compassionate arguments. Public image, social standing and lording over others is what drives the Powerhoe. The Powerhoe approach to existence is brain damaging and arrests consciousness thus is counter-evolutionary, unsustainable and entropic. Rather than needing to walk all over others in order to feel good, the Powerhoe needs to become more self-reliant, self-secure and to know his or her own mind and life path. Flagellating animal power biology in an effort to achieve self-love and self-importance and security is self-defeating and a surefire route to ongoing hell both for perpetrator and victim alike.

Power inequity and the consequent spiritual disenfranchisement and cosmic-disconnection is behind the planetary murder/suicide we as a species are currently engaged in. Deferred responsibility means that no one is watching where the ship is sailing to, thus the fate that befalls us is a result of the random accumulated carnage of the species insentience. A prefrontally lobotomized species is asleep at the wheel with the majority of its time, energy and resources spent on tending to the negative repercussions of its blindsight. The problem of false power must be attended to before we can begin to rise, therefore deconstructing the Powerhoe and eliminating the false refuge of victimhood are the most pressing concerns for clearing the way to a transcendental future for us all. Positive power-sharing is a energetically beneficial approach to existence that takes a quantum leap forward through synergistic emergence and energy amplification.

Sovereignty law and reparations justice is the cornerstone to enlightened society.

 THE BORG

The Borg is a term I use to describe the automatedness of dominant/submissive pyramid structured culture arising from our animal past, which we still haven't addressed and transcended yet. When we do, we will become a peaceable, nonregressive species...if not, we will become extinct. The Borg is the energetic sleep of our psyche and soma through cultural systems of addiction, denial, avoidance and resistance to facing our shadow. The Borg is the separate-self-sense; of being alienated from body, soul and cosmos and forming a homogenized mass of lost individuals, feeding off of each other in a vain attempt to get to the top of the pile. When I talk of the Borg I am talking of the process of spiritual abstinence that we are all trained to engage in by the material culture. We ARE the Borg! The enemy is us…it is our own inability to take responsibility for our lives beyond the apparent “Givens” of our environment. A lack of personal sovereignty generates the amorphous, unconscious rote happenstance…the endless repetition of learned arrested development.

In the sovereignty series I do playfully speak somewhat derogatory fashion about the fallen, broken, compartmentalized condition of the cultural collective which I call the Borg. I do this because it is early days to the horrific dark age of ignorance (Tower of Babel) we may be in danger of entering, so I am clearly delineating the broken human state from the whole HUman state. However, I explain why this species degeneration is occurring and what to do about it, and how to survive Borgsville while attempting to create the mystic civilization by optimizing our own spiritual neurology.

Our purpose as sapiens is to advance the humanizing process. Only the HUman who is undivided and resonating in harmony, at one with their body, earth and cosmos is truly HUman it the larger sense of the word. Thus I use the term HUman to define the difference between the Borg and the sovereign state. Through power-damage, denial and neglect the Borg is divorced from body, spirit and cosmos, while the sovereign has transcended Hivemind and is working to express their divine genius, despite the collapse of the Borg civilization that is happening all around us. To stop identifing with that the repressive Borg that keeps us from being who we truly ARE, allows us to become who we truly ARE as we face up to a larger Universal Truth.

The Borg is not the perfect word to describe our current operating model, for in Star Trek it represents a non-hierarchical hive mind. But it is a fun term to use to describe the automated, dogmatic nature of the primate power pyramid, through which rampant brain damage and brain latency encourages the suspension of human development at the hivemind level. All our current individual, collective and cultural problems arise through our arrested development caused by our misunderstanding and misuse of power.

The Borg is an aberrant, unnatural condition of being dissociated from Natural Law, and askew from our own genetic directives. The Borg is a mind parasite, a dissociative fugue, or malignant obstruction that interferes with the innate happiness of our natural state. A Borg is an individual living within a culture that strives constantly to compensate for an underlying deficiency and insecurity…having separated from the innate power and happiness of cosmic unity. Since inner wisdom is lost with the fundamental schism from the All, the Borg’s conditioned worldview is a flat, horizontal consensus…one standardized consciousness…a petty, disenchanted dualism bent mostly on filling the void, assuaging fear and establishing status power to cover up the loss of a cohesive Self.

The Borg is a narrow set of rote learned impulses and responses enacted by default (unconsciously) during the course of human commerce. Giving the appearance of communication while maintaining a dyspersonalized stance. Where a statement, while sounding like a personal inquiry ("How are you today?") or an endearment ("Take care!"), is actually a power-play to create "distance" so that the ego can continue immediately on its weary consumptive path through Flatland looking for satisfaction. The Borg is a conformist trance of the uninitiated...It has a limited set of preprogrammed lines for social interaction. If you deviate from the script the Borg starts to wake up, and that pisses it off. The Borg operates not so much from fear, but from unawares, unconsciousness, habit and the lack of self-cognition as to its nature. It simply continues because it is not questioned or challenged.

Thus the Borg is the machine of an unenlightened, uninitiated pretence at community, that enlists a prior agreed upon limited exchange of irrelevant data, and a consensus agreement that the mask must be maintained at all cost, and that the Real and reality must be strenuously avoided. The Borg is a culture or community in the grips of the trance of the consensus-self at the expense of Truth, individuation and Presence. In diversity there is strength - homogeneity is unnatural, it’s a byproduct of deadening nature's creativity in the attempt to grasp absolute control. The Borg is rather childlike in that it defers to outer authorities...teachers, doctors, scientific orthodoxy and credentialed professionals without consideration for the general corruptness of civilization and institutions themselves. The Borg is weak after all, for the predatory/prey model can only destroy itself through separation from Source.

The main social operating modality of the Borg is to use fear and seduction to fulfill its aims. However these only work if you can be swayed by fear and seduction by receiving it at face value. Once you are firm in your perception of these tactics as spiritually inferior, immature, low energy and "unconsciously driven" then such Hindbrain machinations can no longer "hook" you.

The collective unconscious is a boundless realm hidden from ego consciousness. In order to emerge from the trance of "Mass-mind" one needs to go on the inner psyche journey, resulting in the "objectification" of the symbolic contents of ones own personal archetypal matrix and the collective unconscious. It is then that one gains a perspective on how one's "Being" fits in the scheme of human history and unfolding...and receives the knowledge of one's "Universal Destiny"...through a lived connection (immersion) to the anima mundi (Earthsoul). Jung's life work was direct at preserving the individual from diffusion and dissolution in mass-mind or conversely from the aggrandized inflation that occurs in defense of the danger of such a loss of soul into the collectivism of mediocrity (The Borg).

The Borg is the culture of oppressive and depressive control. This saccharine power-over culture is numb thus it can continue on its destructive campaign with only a vague dread of consequences. The Borg gains its power from external sources (status, money, position, possessions, certificates of appropriate indoctrination from universities etc...). Part of the problem is that culture enforces such a narrow range of consciousness and outlaws certain things like "sacramental plant substances" which could help to integrate the full psyche and free the individual from the limited monological cage of the Borg.  It is my highest aspiration to help take the “cult” out of culture. The Borg is the ego, it is a misappropriation of spirit build on grasping and defense...and when we are identified with our shell as being our driver, in our hubris we quickly run our vehicle into a tree or off the cliff. The eye of awareness rises higher to second and third person when our cells generate enough ATP to establish a strong daily Silver Cord (zero potential line) in our EMF egg. When that happens we can fully serve and receive, and enter into divine relationship with the cosmos…without the Silver Cord or the “cosmic umbilical” we are a mere fraction and a figment of our Self.

Anyone smart enough to know what I am talking about, will also know that “We” are the Borg. Projecting the problem of the Borg “out there” is as ignorant as projecting the enemy out there. Once we own the problem we can grow beyond it. We are Borg!  We gotta start somewhere though. The reason I have been working on sovereignty is because...I very much badly need to deBorg in order to become human.

"Inability to accept the mystic experience is more than an intellectual handicap. The lack of awareness of the basic unity of organism and environment is a serious and dangerous hallucination." Alan Watts

If the Borg is separation from Source, sovereignty is connection to Source. This connection exhibits a sensitivity or direct knowing that is one and the same as morality, which is born from depth and peripheral perception. This morality is not rule based, punitive, or about crime, punishment or control, it is the force that follows sovereign will, lifeforce or Truth. When we draw on the bottomless well of our own Divine connection the heat of trust-resonance of the opened heart-brain faculties, illuminates the floodlamp in our prefrontal. Eventually we become stable enough to maintain the light of our sovereign daemon in presovereign company, through redirecting others towards their own heart-stargate Source connection.

The more "anomalies" the better, to topple the tower of orthodoxy.

The Borg is the retardation to Hindbrain dominance of the species...we all suffer from it to some degree or another. America and patriarchal nations are particularly brain damaged ie: in arrested development. The best thing we can do for the planet is to break out of the Hindbrain dominance ourselves by moving into wholebrain consciousness, and to spread that as far and wide as we can. If we merely respond and react to the Borg on its own level (power-over, manipulation, seduction, subversion) then we cannot evolve to our sovereign self, but are held captive by the Borg nightmare. We are not in Kansas anymore. It is a big cosmos out there.

The Borg resulted from the Fall of Man…a process of de-generation and anti-life culture that began perhaps a million years ago in the Homo sapiens line. Cooking, red meat eating, cereal production, skewing of Omega-3/Omega-6 ratio from 1:1 to 1:20, loss of endogenous Vitamin C production, loss of steroids and Vitamin D from wearing clothes and demineralization of the soils are traditionally the main forces of biological Borgification. Now however with the chemical, radiological and EMF perversion of practically everything in our daily lives the dissociation from nature and our whole HUmanity is so extreme that most individuals will not be able to unplug from the Borg within their lifetime. As you can see the pharmacological and genetic tinkering with the massive insanity and disease generated by the death culture only propels us further up shit creek.

Sapiens may not be the first hominid species to enter this turkey shoot of degeneration, but it will be the last. The loss of consciousness or sentience occurs from death-cultural processes that undermine the physical and cognitive foundations of life—inflammation, oxidation, mutation, toxification, blockage, mortification, fermentation, dysbiosis, plaque build up, pathogen attack, imbalance, mineral deficiency, phytochemical starvation, depolarization, unearthing, calcification/fossilization, and energy decline,  etc... The human species is cannibalizing itself and the world, and will continue to do so until it evolves. I only aspire to post-Borg cultures in which the basic necessities of life are free so people can focus on creativity and soul work. All cultures and social systems within the commodified material world of the Borg will fail because they are all entropic and retard self-actualization.

The arcane and obsolete war industry validates its own existence. "…An out-of-control robotic golem, the war machine develops a seeming autonomy that generates its own self-sustaining momentum; war is simultaneously its own cause and effect." Paul Levy

When human creative energies are not positively channeled and fulfilled, self-actualization is frustrated and we have an adversarial relationship to the world. Practically everything humans do is wrong headed...our poisonous biocidal buildings, our exorbitantly fueled vehicles, our horrendessly wasteful energy generation/storage/transport, not to mention our criminal use of the land. Our drive for profit is killing the planet and ourselves. In the universe’s eyes we are the stupidest most delinquent species ever created. However if we study nature and do as she does, we just might save ourselves and the planet...but it will take a revolution of the mind and heart and a complete overhaul of technology, science, politics and genius.

The pathological symptoms of hivemind result from having the prepersonal stage extended beyond its usefulness. The problems that humanity is now facing are caused by the disintegration, dis-communication and repression of the whole HUman. If you are not for the light, then you are for the dark. The default of the Borg culture even at its most spiritually pretentious is for the dark. But once we know the consensus is crazy we start to become sane.

FRAGMENTATION AND POST MODERN MALAISE

DISSOCIATION AND THE OBLIGATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS

The shame of awakening to the shame of human delinquency.

In the past we mostly only had to deal with family skeletons in the closet, or perhaps the occasional village skeleton or two. Now modern psychology has neatly packed those domestic skeletons away for safekeeping. However self-help, therapy and spiritual theory and practice has not prepared us for the unveiling of a constant barrage of international skeletons stacked in piles all around the globe. There doesn't seem to be a closet large enough to hold all those skeletons. Our psychological reconciliation systems are bursting at the seams, so what do we do? We go into denial...we split.

ADD, OCD, autism, Alzheimer's, depression, obesity and all the degenerative physical and mental diseases today are the result of fragmentation. This fracking or splitting occurs at the subatomic, the molecular, cellular, organ and organism levels...and on through the social, ecological, environmental and global levels...not to mention the fragmentation of soul itself as the human universe is being teared apart by our disregard of the laws of nature. Obviously the cure for basically all our problems and suffering is overcoming this shattering and dis-integration of the human cosmos and establishing cultural choices that lead to the joining, mending, uniting, completing, and knitting back together of the fabric of existence needed to support life and higher consciousness. We show bad faith and disrespect for existence (God) when we mindlessly go along with the fragmentation without making a conscious effort towards turning the tide of fragmentation around.

Willful neglect of sovereignty is the avoidance of the commitment to life

At any time there are specific demands on our powers of conscious choice, such that if we are letting things go, we are engaged in the dereliction of duty. Meaning that by negating the demands of reality we have failed to rise to what sanity and responsibility asks of us. Dereliction is the opposite of the virtue diligence. Derelicts are irresponsible and not "able" to care for themselves. Negligence and lack of care to focus on the demands of Necessity and Reality obviously leads to low performance, so derelicts are under-achievers. When we fail to do due diligence with respect to the laws of nature and act to transgress universal or cosmic law we are in dereliction of sanity and consciousness. The results of misconduct and fallout from false conception can only lead to that which oppresses or imprisons us, driving us still further into herd mentality, the fugue state, consensus trance. Dereliction of diligence is both caused by fragmentation and creates greater fragmentation, thus fragmentation generates fragmentation. This is obvious and irrefutable…and it is this snowball effect of dis-integration and destruction that constitutes the ongoing and accelerating Fall of Humanity. The failure to make the reasonable, conscious choice represents a hardening or dulling of the human spirit associated willful negligence, herd mentality, fugue-trance and the dereliction of duty and the desertion of diligence.

• Malfeasance: is bad behavior, transgression of morality or civil law or defaulting on the demands of Necessity and Reality.
• Nonfeasance: a failure to act when under a moral or rational obligation to do so.

• Criminal negligence: actus reus, misconduct, wrongdoing, wrongful conduct.

• Duty of care: a requirement that a person act toward others and the public with the watchfulness, attention, caution and prudence that a reasonable person in the same circumstances would use.

With awareness comes responsibility and the weight of it all can be overwhelming. Those in dereliction of diligence fail to act with the prudence that a reason-able person would exercise under the same circumstances. As long as nobody speaks out or acts against tyrany then all those conspiring in willful ignorance are saved from the pressure of the need to act (and thus grow). He/She who does whistle blow or act is then chastised, marginalized and singled out for punishment...ie: scapegoated. Violence against life and the planet is thereby allowed to automatically continue through a traitorous compliance between the military industrial locusts and those who let it persist due to fear, learned helplessness, defeatism, broken will, denial and profiteering.

Profligates, fat cats, corporate whores, mercenaries, sycophants and traitors that would change laws and undermine the legal backbone of the nation and dismiss international law in order to line their own coffers. The only solution to the military-industrial take over of the planet is the evolution of consciousness and the realization of personal sovereignty, and the citizen’s obligation to sanity and doing the right thing. The only solution to the Borg and Powerhoe take over of our life is the evolution of consciousness and our commitment to personal sovereignty.

Bad wine tastes good after the second glass. Good wine tastes indifferent after the second glass. Drunkenness is the great equalizer!

It is hard for me to eat an avocado without feeling so much gratitude that I want to plant its seed. But I wouldn't want to grow an advocado seed in an environment in which it couldn't become a tree. Each of us has an inbuilt passionate directive to go forth and prosper - to grow into a fully productive, mature HUman tree and to plant our seeds in fertile soil and hospitable conditions. When our potential for growth is thwarted either by inner or outer forces the dream of ultimate fruition is blocked and our energies are turned from construction to destruction. In hostile environments we remain infants and adolescents therefore prefrontally challenged – our energy, enthusiasm, excitement and yearning for adventure that would otherwise fuel our fecund creative life is frustrated and turns into its dark forms. Plant a human in an ideal environment and we grow into something of great beauty, justice and kindness. By channeling ourselves into the path of constructive despite the setbacks, discouragement and challenges to our higher development…we can ultimately create conditions that foster our full growth.

A fear-based punitive, authoritarian society is in the business of punishment and reward, as though trying to manipulate an out of control 2-year-old child with sticks and cookies. Such a society cultivates parasites that suck the life out of the body of man by exploiting the weak... for the presovereign are all essentially weak. The citizens in Borg society are slaves who feed the system that imprisons them, and prevents them from growing to their full stature. Such a society breeds elitism, cheating, crime, sickness, mental illness, addiction, obesity, overpopulation, slavitude, homelessness and hopelessness. A civilization in arrested development is a culture in decay! Worst of all it is a society where HUmanization cannot gain a foothold and sentience cannot accrue...because Hindbrain society relies on fragmentation and division in order to hold itself together.

Worse than Stockholm Syndrome, compliance and allegiance to industrial war profiteering and the insane mental gymnastics needed to justify wholesale genocide shows a level of disregard, ignorance, neglect, insensitivity and dimwittedness that defies the imagination. No matter how brain-dead the society we are born into, the good news is that by transcending the "death cult" and the species programming and becoming sovereign, at-one-with-the-cosmos, we can save ourselves from being an accessory to international war crimes. The Borg is a creature of habit, they are not their unique selves but are programmed robots being farmed by a corrupt elite to carry out their mining, industry and wars. If they had a spark of imagination or genuine illumination they would leave their mercenary ways immediately.

Polluted humans create polluted systems, but we cannot blame the corruption on money, we must look to the true cause...the failure to be HUman. America might be the finest example of the Borg in the world today, but it is a species developmental problem not specific to any one country. The Borg and its degenerative mayhem stems from not having outgrown the sadomasochism of Hindbrain dominance. When a civilization destroys the structural organizational capacity of life, it becomes corrupt, polluted, fragmented and insentient, and thus uses false power to maintain its stranglehold on life, love and liberty. The material empire of the capitalist barbarians has to break the native population's spirituality of nature-wisdom, in the lands they seek to occupy and exploit in order to make them dependent on the "death cult" of the conquerors.

Notice how they use the oppressed as the vehicle of their own enslavement!

When there is no viable venue for positive agency the drive for loving-agency must be silenced by self-destruction in order to deaden the body’s voice, so that we can remain paralyzed in inaction. As citizens in a corrupt culture we must make ourselves go unconscious in order to remain in that culture, and then once fragmented and insentient there is no escape. When the body is fragmented and toxic from the cooked-industrial lifestyle, along with undeveloped prefrontal executive faculties, the diminished capacity for original thought means that the population is captive and cannot even get off the pirate ship of state, let alone change the direction of the destination (destiny). To get out of fragmentation and learned helplessness in order to save ourselves from the PTSD of complicity in a murderous, material empire we must first admit that we are split, dissociated and adrift. Besides regenerating the body to revive the senses/sentience a sense of humor is vitally important for reversing fragmentation. Fasting, abstinence from cooked carbs-sugar-alcohol, combined with nature immersion, exercise, dancing, music and celebration will help us revive our capacity for self-determination regardless of how deeply the rest of the society is closed down into the false-power of the fascist fugue.

"Wake us up before we die." Comatose, by Ayreon (great heavy metal ballad)

When in stressful, unresolvable, impossible and doublebind circumstances we become paralyzed, fragmented and unconscious. This Dissociative Fugue is associated with Depersonalization Disorder and Dissociative Identity Disorder, in which there is loss of the sense of selfhood, dissociation from one’s environment, often accompanied with the inability to focus objectively on the original stressor in order to extract oneself from the cause of the stress. Thus learned helplessness can suspend our growth and prevent us from moving forward by transcending our difficulties. Our personal lives can be suspended in this way, but so too can the lives of nations and even species.

Insentience: not sentient, lacking consciousness or ability to perceive sensations or feeling, inanimateness, lifelessness.

We have to ask ourselves how is it that America who made such advances in social justice and cultural progress in the 60s and 70s has not risen up to stop the many wars of aggression and plunder undertaken in their name? Besides the obvious causes of insentience such as industrial farming, industrial food and chemical toxicity, and besides the newspeak media and the militarized entertainment industry, we might consider that Americans are highly abused children living within a totalitarian state and are basically worn down into paralyzed numbness by the lies, corruption and Disney fairytale of exceptionalism, democracy and freedom. We can assume that if Americans were not so deeply in denial and dissociation that they would stop whacking off to computer porn and would get on their white horse and fight the good fight for truth and justice. Puts a new twist on the term "whack job!" That being said, I think there is great hope that the new generations are breaking out of the fugue and are standing up for their right to be fully HUman…even within the fallen state of the nation as a whole.

In our present state of political decay the whole notion of nationhood is now defunct. If citizens ever did have a say in the trajectory of their nation they certainly don't now that their freedom to object has been stripped away and the government is militarized against its own people. The only way to get rid of the cancerous corruption is to stop feeding it and create alternative social support and organization systems. The government is no longer doing its rightful duties anyway, so at this point it is an alien entity which must be purged from the state and the world in order to save it. (and save the government from itself btw).

In philosophy, ethics, and political science the common good (also common wealth or common weal) is a specific "good" that is shared and beneficial for all. A zillion acts against the Good-Of-All (GOA) serve to fragment and disintegrate the body of man, reducing humanities viability as a non-pathological organism. A humanity that relies on make-believe, denial and the disregard of conscience lives in bad faith and the rejection of Reality. The more we fight reality the more fragmented we become…whereas we need all the sapiens we can get to cope with the Borg nightmare and repair, rebuild and regenerate our world. If the nightmare of fear, greed, acquisitiveness and commodification would lift we could arise to a golden dawn...where the each sovereign individual gets paid for doing their "own work" rather than someone else’s. In a society based on sovereignty, soul and The Golden Rule we no longer have creator's guilt and nor fear our free will. There is no cognitive dissonance between who we are and what we do, the world stage does not automatically determine our fate, and original thought is one of the most cherished values. As we heal our own dissociation and fragmentation we heal the breakdown and disenfranchisement of the human cosmos and save the planet from a fate worse than death.

Now that we have seen how destructive we can become we have to learn how to listen to the music of the heart to become a con-structive species. The music of the soul that comes through in dreams is more sublime than anything you can hear with your ears. It is not marshal or epic, nor even space music. It is eternal, causal, formative, constructive...it is the herald of the Muse, both Apollionic and Dionysian. The music of the soul is beauty that defies description and cannot be expressed in this world, but comes through us drawing us forth into the next. Enlightened, con-structive society already exists in the ether beyond the material plane, as the implicit order waiting for us to allow it to descend.

Phi, Tao and The Golden Rule are the one thing...passionate rationality, or love.

Good Parenting Messages for breaking the dissociative fugue: I love you! You are very special to me! It is not what you do but who you are that I love! You can do whatever YOU want! I will be here for you no matter what! If you fall down I will be there to tend your knees! You can trust the deep quiet voice within! You don't have to be afraid anymore! You haven’t done anything wrong! The world loves you even when you think it doesn't! You are beautiful and your life is all yours to fully explore! You can go wherever you like! My god, you are brilliant! I am so proud of you and your choices! You are such a joy to be around! You are never alone, I am with you always! I have your back and support you in all you do!

ECOSHOCK

Since July’14 with the death of the Boulder trees I have an extreme case of Ecoshock that comes and goes, some days worse than others. Few people are even noticing the tree carnage yet, but by July’15 the shock across the USA will begin.  Ecoshock is not quite as simple as other forms of PTSD associated with trauma and intractable, impossible situations. The sense of helplessness and paralysis associated with Ecoshock is akin to the sense of inconsolable angst of experiencing one’s landscape devastated by war. With the environmental destruction caused by the Fukushima fallout we are indeed experiencing the effects of war…humanity’s war against nature.

That we did this to ourselves and that it wasn’t an act of nature makes the catastrophe all the more poignant. With Ecoshock it is as though we have been disillusioned, having given up on humanity as a viable species worthy of continued existence. Along with our mourning is a profound sense of disgust in ourselves and the loss of faith in a transcendent future. The thread of faith between the past and the future all but broken by an act of violence against the planet so deep that we cannot begin to fathom the consequences. Ecoshock is having the spiritual ground pulled away, continuity crushed, and species self-respect tumbled into the abyss.

SYMPTOMS OF ECOSHOCK

Ecoshock may comprise of an insidious mixture of anger, sadness, stillness, quiet, malevolent-glee, gloating, stupor, helplessness, what-the-fuk, incredulousness, superiority, disdain, dissociation, vigilance and hypervisual acuity. The symptoms of Ecoshock can include frustration, fatigue, clumsiness, anxiety, paranoia, depression, irritability, black and white thinking, rigidity, and poor decision making. Short-term illness and clumsiness from the breakdown of the immune system and imbalanced physiological reactions.  Outrage and disgust over social ignorance and apathy and a corrosive rage at having to keep silent, frozen trust and loss of faith in humanity, coupled with morbid sense of isolation and loneliness from not having any responsible, aware and mature adults to talk to. A dream told me that a Tower of Babel phenomena will occur as we enter collective shock and social stress increases, confusion will reign and we may not understand  the meaning of one another’s speech. Ecoshock can be likened to having to die alone, unloved, unnoticed and unremembered.

Subconscious worry and anxiety can result in excessive emotional reactivity or the absence or suppression of observable emotion, feeling concern, or passion ie: apathy and ambivalence. Subrational denial is one of the primary defenses against Ecoshock. Refusal to admit or acknowledge Reality, thus avoiding emotional conflict or anxiety and resorting to displacement activities, substitution, transference, dissociative stupor, emotional paralysis, cognitive dissonance, repression, anxiety, defensiveness, provocative behavior, loss of memory, and/or loss of motivation.

With the specter ecocide on this scale there is nowhere to put one’s emotions and no higher authority to go to who will make it all right. The biological shock we are presently experiencing is on the equivalent to a nuclear war...for unless we can get out of the radioactive zone, our aspirations for the future and the entirety of our lives and our life’s work seems futile. However we cannot simply close our eyes on the Dark Night and hope it will simply go away…we must act! Ideally we need to be joining in groups (locally if possible) to both mount a response to the threats (radiation, food supply, social unrest) and to work on the solutions.

The progression of Ecoshock follows the classic stages of grieving: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. The viable response of responsible citizens requires nothing short of a rapid full-scale campaign of social and cultural change. Honesty, truthful communication, artistic expression, music, spontaneous dance and all manner of self-exegesis and physical/mental/emotional/spiritual expansion will prevent us from going into a collective catatonia and depression.

PROTOCOL FOR DEALING WITH ECOSHOCK

We can approach Ecoshock with a classic PTSD protocol of nutritionally building up the nervous system, increasing antioxidants and fortifying the adrenals, bodymind detoxification, eliminating addictions, fasting, nurturing bodywork, dance, music, grounding, sungazing and meditative Inner Arts practices.

First stop ruminating on your prognosis and PROACTIVELY pursue a course of action that will build up your nervous system, increase your energy resources (enzymes), promote increased breathing and exercise, and build up your resilience and emotional equilibrium. Rather than simply reacting to circumstances we can condition emotional equilibrium through use of the mind in understanding emotion, through spiritual practice of meditation, toning, chanting, yoga, hanging, grounding, focusing and mindfulness etc... and through nutrition and aerobic exercise. We reach this emotional equilibrium by “building energy reserves,” while “discharging tension,” and strengthening a perfectly relaxed body.

• Allow the grieving cycle to proceed and support each stage.
• Bleed off the Fight/Flight response in strenuous exercise.
• Do de-armoring bodywork and yogic exercise to overcome freeze-paralysis.
• Create a supportive social group and an action response group.
• Express your angst and soulutions through art and creativity.
• Educate yourself and others about the causes of the eco-catastrophy.
• Reduce the stressors in your life in general by cleaning your life’s closet, clearing relationships and moving on if necessary.
• Face addictions and self-sabotage head on as you need all the strength and consciousness you can muster.

• Remove things that acidify your blood such as coffee, sugar, meat, baked goods etc…

• Eliminate Toxins: GMOs, mercury, aluminum, metals, herbicides, pesticides, chemicals, plastics, dyes, preservatives etc

• Eliminate or counteract EMF poisoning: cell phones, wifi, microwaves, TVs, cordless phones, cell towers, smart meters etc…

• Avoid self-sabotage: processed and junk foods, substance abuse, smoking, alcohol; lack of physical and emotional exercise and intellectual stimulation.

• Clean house, sort, tidy, simplify, prioritize, order, beautify and upgrade lifestyle.

• Toning/Mantra/Humming especially by a river radically calms and cleans the nervous system.
• Prioritize…stop wasting your time, energy and resources on that which doesn’t “work,” ie: further your own progress and the evolutionary process.
• Fast and adopt a raw-superfood diet with sprouts, juicing and smoothies in order to reduce the metabolic load allowing more energy and consciousness.

• Increase the raw Green in your diet manyfold to reduce anxiety and calm nerves.

• Turn the devastation into a celebration of the human spirit. Turn a loss into a gain wherever possible.

• Laughter is the universal panacea for many of the problems associated with Ecoshock and PTSD including depression, panic, maldigestion, lowered immunity, hypertension, convulsions and dissociation. Laughter also improves health by suppressing stress hormones and elevating antibodies and immunity.

• Meta-adaptation is accomplished by diet, fasting, sports, martial arts, cathartic vocalization, psychodrama, addressing relationship problems, changing work environments and undertaking new hobbies and interests etc…

You can find answers to dealing with Ecoshock by studying future shock, bioenergetics, Wilhelm Reich’s work, empathetic psychotherapy, the writings of Derrick Jensen. My writings on meta-adaptation to awakening and kundalini such as The Exhaustion Phase on biologyofkundalini.com ... and my Inner Arts book. http://www.lulu.com/shop/jana-dixon/inner-arts-1-practicum/paperback/product-21369534.html

OVERCOMING ADRENAL FATIGUE

•Reducing Stress Hormones— The adrenal cortical hormones suppress inflammatory processes, healing processes and the immune system. They also convert glycogen stores into glucose and elevate blood sugar levels—to counteract this catabolism chromium and Corosolic acid from Banaba leaf improves glucose entry into cells. Consume raw-complex/low glycemic carbohydrates and high quality protein to potentially deflect the ill effects of elevated cortisol. Rhodiola rosa, acetyl-L-carnitine and phosphatidylserine are used to reduce cortisol production and repair receptor sensitivity in the hypothalamus. One of the best ways to control elevated cortisol levels is to keep well hydrated for dehydration causes cortisol levels to increase.

•Adaptogens—Adaptogens are herbs that help cope with stress by restoring hypothalamic cortisol receptor sensitivity. Adaptogenic herbs include: Ashwaghanda root, Basil, California poppy, Cordyceps, Echinopanax elatum, Devil’s claw, Dong quai, Codonopsis, Fo Ti Tieng, Goldenseal, Gotu kola, Green tea, Hawthorn extract, Hops Flowers, Kava kava, Licorice, Magnolia bark, Manchurian Thorn Tree extract, Nopal cactus, Rhodiola rosea, Schizandra, Siberian maral root, Suma, Tibetan ginseng (Rhodiola crenulata), Valerian. Perhaps the most well known adaptogen is ginseng of which there are three types: Asian (Panax ginseng), which produces the strongest stimulation, American (Panax quinquefolium), which soothes and Siberian (Eleutherococcus senticosus) for stamina. The adaptogenic Maral Root (Rhaponticum Carthamoides) or leuzea root is a legal herbal alternative to anabolic steroids with none of the negative side effects. It increases tendon and joint strength as well as the lean muscle gain and fat loss and improved athletic performance. Research also shows that Rhaponticum extract can help to increase work capacity and endurance, while reducing mental and physical fatigue.

•Hypoadrenalism—Prolonged stress exhausts the adrenal glands and other glands and organ systems resulting in Hypoadrenia. Hypothyroidism, reactive hypoglycemia and depressed immunity are often associated with this condition as well. To build up your adrenals to recover from fatigue take 1000 mg four times per day of buffered vitamin C with plenty of water between meals. The adrenals are the site of the highest concentration of vitamin C in the body. Natural Vitamin C Sources: Amla powder, acerola cherry, camu camu, rose hips, kiwi fruit, red capsicum, parsley, broccoli, black currents, elderberry, acai, maqui, sea-buckthorn berry, aronia, pomegranate, goji and mangosteen. Pantothenic acid or B5, vitamin B1 and vitamin B6 work synergistically to nourish and strengthen the adrenals.

Herbs to overcome adrenal fatigue and rebuild the adrenals are: Ashwagandha, Chaparral, Ginseng, Licorice, Ma huang and Suma. Licorice root slows down the deactivation of cortisol and aldosterone extending the life of these hormones in the body, so may be best to avoid a lot of licorice root during the peak phase.
