When following a premade path kills the journey…

“A path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you . . . Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself alone, one question . . . Does this path have a heart?

If it does, the path is good; if it doesn’t it is of no use.”

― Carlos Castaneda

“There is no path to truth, because truth is a living thing, it is not a fixed, static, dead thing..”

Jiddu Krishnamurti

I had the fortune to meet an amazing being. She was one of those souls so powerful, to shine with her golden energy through her body.”

She fought against cancer, and died in struggles. Her path became her journey when, in fear, she stopped listening to her heart and blindly turned into her mind solutions and its believes this, in an attempt to keep the dream (illusionary word ) alive.

It is only when your path becomes the journey that the dreams turns into a nightmare.

A path, however, is not a journey. It is just a path of the many available and, when stops to be a path, a way to… and becomes the journey, the journey ends.

We lose touch with truth and the infinity within us.

After she did exit the Maya (illusionary world), she told me : “Silvia, there is nothing here worth fighting for….”

I knew she was right.

The truth is so much beyond everything we think we know.

As I was discussing with my group, if you let your mind choose, you are leaving your journey.

Only a pure heart, knows where to go. Awareness has no words, no time, no space. Awareness is mindfulness or what Mr Hubbard called “TR0: simply be there and perceive.” at its higher sense.

A path has many different pebbles on the road. Different sizes and colors. Those pieces are data; opinions and ideas which are the result of combination of data and their expression in its infinite forms. But no matter the combination, they remain pebbles and they are just a road, not the journey.

What’s the importance if we call a stone with a different name or we see different angles of it?

Aren’t we all going somewhere while we walk on the path, this is if you walk on the center, on the banks or on the side?
People like to name the stones and/or rebuilt the path, and loose sight of the journey and the fact that is just a path… with sand, rock or pebbles,  whatever it might be.

The point is: is this path taking you were your want? or is it taking you were the minds and its ego wants to go?

As we were discussing yesterday with my group, when we connect to spiritual teachers, to awesome auditors, to masters or to those shiny beings, we are connecting to an high awareness: awareness to awareness and through this connection miracles happens… no matter what technique one uses, which words or subject.

Those a people or places of power. This is the magic of the Holy Spirit (awareness)

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them”

Matthew 18:20

And that is exactly the power of our group. And by such connection we catalyze changes, everyone  it’s own ways….

I met an auditor back in 2009, and she became my best friend and my spiritual sister. Her name is Aida Thomas. In all my Scientology life, I have never met anyone who has better understanding of the principles of Scientology than her. No class IX or XII. None. She has something few people have; Spiritual power and Awareness. Her lectures are a treasure as they carry this vital energy in every word.

And so it is, for the many Master, Mr. Smith and many others. It does not really matter what they say, which color they choose. You are in their presence and miracles happen, as long as you and them validate this level of infinity.

With my group we work on assigning the right ownerships to every plane, and the understanding of the law of the Maya (MEST; matter, energy, space, time) is to understand the trap…

Is it necessary to understand the mechanic of this illusionary world in order to go anywhere?

NO, but it is one of the many paths.

“Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions. To have such clarity you must lead a disciplined life. Only then will you know that any path is only a path and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you to do. But your decision to keep on the path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition. I warn you. Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary.

This question is one that only a very old man asks. Does this path have a heart? All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. They are paths going through the bush, or into the bush. In my own life I could say I have traversed long long paths, but I am not anywhere. Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn’t, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn’t. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you.

Before you embark on any path ask the question: Does this path have a heart? If the answer is no, you will know it, and then you must choose another path. The trouble is nobody asks the question; and when a man finally realizes that he has taken a path without a heart, the path is ready to kill him. At that point very few men can stop to deliberate, and leave the path. A path without a heart is never enjoyable. You have to work hard even to take it. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy; it does not make you work at liking it.”

― Carlos Castaneda, The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge

THE TREACHEROUS BUSINESS OF EXPECTATIONS

.

In a universe where everything flows, where complete stillness or silence is not allowed, we are indoctrinated and led to believe we are the cause beyond this apparent motion.

There is a truth behind every lie, but we are going to cover this point in another article.

By agreeing we are at cause or we can be cause in this illusion, we believe we can change the narrative or representation of the energy and its motion. (Delusion of power)

With that we get to another lower set of agreements: the expectations of a result deriving from particles in motion.

As our awareness decreases we give into another even lower set of agreements; every particle in motion caused by us or others (yes right!) brings about an involuntary and natural desire of expectations, conclusion or results.

Once you are convinced your actions or no-actions, someone else’s actions or non-actions brings about a change/result, you are pretty much done for it. In a few words, you are dead to the real world (we lose the awareness of who we really are).

‘Expectations’ is what prevents you from looking. ‘Expectation’ is like a powerful anchor which keeps you into a little but efficient trap of cause and effect, when in truth you are very much above all that.

Now, you think you have a problem and so you make an appointment with a counselor, or you plan for an action or non-action to solve that problem. You look at the problem; actually you are not looking at the problem at all.

You feel uncomfortable about something and instantly wish to get rid of that emotion (an expectation arises.) At the very instant the expectation comes to life the thing, situation or emotion becomes a problem.

And ‘the problem’ persists only because, projecting yourself into the future or another reality (Solution: a future rearrangement of past situation or data), you have left the present time. And so you expect to fuck someone to forget about someone else, or to do something to prove someone wrong, or to change a job to be able to afford your new house.

And nothing works, because all this is nothing more than a lie.

As sticky paper entraps flies, so lies entrap souls. That is the reason the new job does not fix your feeling of emptiness, sleeping with someone else does not heal your pain or the gallon of ice cream does not bring back peace. They are just more lies over lies.

The first lie is to believe everything in this dream is real; the second one is to believe you can actually cause an effect, when the only effect you can really cause is waking up to the dream and to regain awareness of your original infinite state. . .

Expectations; If I only discover why this is it, everything, my pain, my anxiety, my feeling blue or depressed will disappear.

We forget this is only a dream of the many thousands, an intersection of dreams, colored by impressions, and stimulated by unknown factors. The reason we love Charlie is not because we have known him before. That is only one answer of the millions.

We do not heal our cancer by taking pills or discovering it was caused by the betrayal of our wife. Again, that is only one factor over a million. First of all, the energy flows where it needs to flow. The plot, the story or the program is already written.

The code has been programmed long before you fall asleep. Perhaps we can color this illusion with our fears, but the story is already made.

And so, that is the reason you are still obsessed with Charlie after discovering your obsession and pain with Charlie was due to the fact that he killed you or you killed him a few lifetimes ago.

I cannot let him go because we were lovers many lifetimes ago… and you are still obsessed.

You, with your reasoning and finding whys are just adding more and more lies.  You are saying that the above is the reason, this hoping your obsession dissolves or that Charlie, owning up to your “soulmates story”, comes back to you.

No. It doesn’t work that way. And, one day, like me you are laying down next to this person to suddenly realize he is not even the being you thought he was. Yes, he was a ‘son’ to someone else, a lover to another and to you just a reminder of that someone you love beyond this dream.

Few moments later, being back into present time, sitting amongst the audience (non-ordinary reality) and not in the middle of the stage (dream-illusion) as you were before, you realize you expected love from a surrogate of ‘Charlie’, when the real Charlie(being) was desperately trying to get you to go back to the audience, next to him where you belonged. In the dream (stage) ‘Charlie’ was not responsive, while in reality the non-responsive was you.

Somehow, you heard this little ‘voice’ in your heart saying: “The dream does not allow me to contact you, but I’m here. That body laying with you is not me….. It is programmed that way. Get off the stage!!”

Suddenly, peace. Pain, anxiety, and any mis-emotions are all little bells trying to tell you, somewhere or somehow, you are living a lie, or two or a millions.

No need to point fingers, because all it goes back to us and our ability to see beyond the dream. For anyone familiar with $cientology, there is only Flow-0: things we do to ourselves. All the rest of the Flows* are just gradients to own up to F-0.

* (F-1: something someone has done to you, F-2: Something you have done to others, F3: Something others have done to others).

As always, lies are glue to a soul.

It wasn’t Charlie lying to me as I thought, it was me lying to myself, looking at someone who wasn’t even there and telling myself he did not love me or talk to me while, down into the audience, he was the one desperately trying to communicate.

I was the one not listening. I was the one asleep. And today I feel freer. . .

My house and its basement are filled with water.

This is the condition of most souls in the Maya.

But, today, another cup of water was poured out the window, and that is what is important to me even if the mind continues to insist she sees no difference as the house seems as full as before.

The mind, after all, is the only enemy we have, if we ever have one. Always trying to get us to fall down the rabbit hole into the traps of expectations.

Always working to get us to forget who we really are.

The only thing that can hurt you are your expectations

What hurts it is never what people do to us, it is our expectations of them, of how we would want them to be with us.

And so, we meet someone we feel a connection to and, from there the infinity comes in, not the infinity of choices and possibilities, but unfortunately the infinity of suppose ‘to do or not to do’, ‘to be or not to be’ and ‘to have or not to have’. Goals, conclusions, judgments are just synonymous of expectations.

Whenever the above becomes reality to us, we are out of present time as we have stopped looking at the situation for what it is. We are not looking anymore at the very person in front of us, but at the result of a bunch of computations and long endured conditioning brought about by the very act of living.

I see apples on the table and I start to think I will have an apple pie for dinner. There is no sugar on the table, nor butter or flour, but I taste the pie.

And so, we meet Joe, and Joe is a great guy with very good manners and we feel there is a connection. We tell ourselves something special is happening and at that very moment, we stop looking at Joe.  Joe is a pastor so he must have a good heart. Josephine helps old people therefore she will have good care of us.  Marc hates liar, so he must be truthful…. and so on with an ocean of preconstructed ‘truths’.

So, when Mary, who have made you feel unique and special, who dresses very proper and show no signs of interest in other boys runs away with your best friend, you fall into a big shocks.

“I’m so hurt because she betrayed me!!!”

If there is a person that has betrayed anyone is yourself. You have substituted your perceptions with pre-constructed knowledge to suit your dreams or your fears.

Mary has always been Mary. She has never been faithful to you in her heart even if the appearance have shown otherwise. Her words may have seems to acknowledge what your ego desired…. but just like the apple pie will not be on the table at dinner so Mary will not be there for you in times of need as you expected. Any attempt on your part to force her into your dreamed role would be nothing but a violence to her and to yourself. She must be like this because this is right to me, is not only a violence as pressure her to change who she really is, but it is a violence to yourself as it forces you to support a lie and invalidates your ability to look at reality and pervade it.

What it is really love?

Most people call love the emotion connected to a self-created image of someone they know. What they love is their idea of that person, not the person. That, far from being love, could be call instead emotional greed.

Love. Love when true carries the power and the force to push through any lie. Love is a permeating force which reveals what’s really there, because it does not contain any desire to change, modify or judge.

Love is a pure transparent communication between two souls.

Love and expectations do not belong to the same plane and cannot co-exist.

Knowing that, our human games could become a reason to self discovery and improvements.

People we connect to could become means of inspiration forcing us to look at ourselves, at our emotional limitations. And, for this, they are blessed.

Therefore a true warrior disregards the “losses” well knowing they do not really exist,  pulls up his sleeves and digs for answers against anything that makes him selfish to himself and to others.

Love, when pure, does not have you or me… it has only you. For people who love each other are one.

And here, note,  I’m not talking about romantic love, but the love between souls, much bigger and long lasting than human love even when the first, manifest itself in its higher forms.

THE LAST SUPPER: WHAT REALLY HAPPENED…

 Excerpt from the book by  P. D. OUSPENSKY
IN SEARCH OF THE MIRACULOUS pag. 98 e 97 

“A universal language is possible,” said G., “only people will never invent it.”

“Why not?” asked one of us.
“First because it was invented a long time ago,” answered G., “and second because to understand this language and to express ideas in it depends not only upon the knowledge of this language, but also on being. I will say even more. There exists not one, but three universal languages. The first of them can be spoken and written while remaining within the limits of one’s own language. The only difference is that when people speak in their ordinary language they do not understand one another, but in this other language they do understand. In the second language, written language is the same for all peoples, like, say, figures or mathematical formulae; but people still speak their own language, yet each of them understands the other even though the other speaks in an unknown language. The third language is the same for all, both the written and the spoken. The difference of language disappears altogether on this
level.”
“Is not this the same thing which is described in the Acts as the descent of the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles, when they began to understand divers languages?” asked someone.
I noticed that such questions always irritated G.
“I don’t know, I wasn’t there,” he said.
But on other occasions some opportune question led to new and unexpected explanations.
Someone asked him on one occasion during a talk whether there was anything real and leading to some end in the teachings and rites of existing religions.
“Yes and no,” said G. “Imagine that we are sitting here talking of religions and that the maid Masha hears our conversation. She, of course, understands it in her own way and she repeats what she has understood to the porter Ivan. The porter Ivan again understands it in his own way and he repeats what he has understood to the coachman
Peter next door. The coachman Peter goes to the country and recounts in the village what the gentry talk about in town. Do you think that what he recounts will at all resemble what we said? This is precisely the relation between existing religions and that which was their basis. You get teachings, traditions, prayers, rites, not at fifth but at twenty-fifth hand, and, of course, almost everything has been distorted beyond recognition and everything essential forgotten long ago.
“For instance, in all the denominations of Christianity a great part is played by the tradition of the Last Supper of Christ and his disciples. Liturgies and a whole series of dogmas, rites, and sacraments are based upon it. This has been a ground for schism, for the separation of churches, for the formation of sects; how many people have perished because they would not accept this or that interpretation of it. But, as a matter of fact, nobody understands what this was precisely, or what was done by Christ and his disciples that evening. There exists no explanation that even approximately resembles the truth, because what is written in the Gospels has been, in the first place, much distorted in being copied and translated; and secondly, it was written for those who know. To those who do not know it can explain nothing, but the more they try to understand it, the deeper they are led into error.
“To understand what took place at the Last Supper it is first of all necessary to know certain laws.
“You remember what I said about the ‘astral body’? Let us go over it briefly. People who have an ‘astral body’ can communicate with one another at a distance without having recourse to ordinary physical means. But for such communication to be possible they must establish some ‘connection’ between them. For this purpose when going to different places or different countries people sometimes take with them
something belonging to another, especially things that have been in contact with his body and are permeated with his emanations, and so on. In the same way, in order to maintain a connection with a dead person, his friends used to keep objects which had belonged to him. These things leave, as it were, a trace behind them, something like invisible wires or threads which remain stretched out through space. These threads connect a given object with the person, living or in certain cases dead, to whom the object belonged. Men have known this from the remotest antiquity and have made various uses of this knowledge.
“Traces of it may be found among the customs of many peoples. You know, for instance, that several nations have the custom of blood-brotherhood. Two men, or several men, mix their blood together in the same cup and then drink from this cup.
After that they are regarded as brothers by blood. But the origin of this custom lies deeper. In its origin it was a magical ceremony for establishing a connection between ‘astral bodies.’ Blood has special qualities. And certain peoples, for instance the Jews, ascribed a special significance of magical properties to blood.

Now, you see, if a connection between ‘astral bodies’ had been established, then again according to the
beliefs of certain nations it is not broken by death.
“Christ knew that he must die. It had been decided thus beforehand. He knew it and his disciples knew it. And each one knew what part he had to play. But at the same time they wanted to establish a permanent link with Christ. And for this purpose he gave them his blood to drink and his flesh to eat. It was not bread and wine at all, but real flesh and real blood.

Frontiersman Jim Bridger (left), and a Native American named Eagle Strikes, perform a blood brother ceremony in the name of peace. 

“The Last Supper was a magical ceremony similar to ‘blood-brotherhood’ for establishing a connection between ‘astral bodies.’ But who is there who knows about this in existing religions and who understands what it means? All this has been long forgotten and everything has been given quite a different meaning. The words have remained but their meaning has long been lost.”

This lecture and particularly its ending provoked a great deal of talk in our groups.
Many were repelled by what G. said about Christ and the Last Supper; others, on the
contrary, felt in this a truth which they never could have reached by themselves.

page 98 and 97  P. D. OUSPENSKY
IN SEARCH OF THE MIRACULOUS

Are you your past?

Every day, at every given time, as we wake up we have the choice to decide who we want to be.

Every single moment, every second of the day, we have that very choice.

Our actions, in the now only, are the only thing which defines us. Not what we have done 10 years ago, not what we have done three years or a second ago. At every given time we have INFINITE possibilities. And I repeat, infinite, even though the mind seems to suggest otherwise.

This is mindfulness. This is to live in the present. This is power and freedom.
Believe me, to live in present time requires more courage that you can ever image. Requires the courage to face our only real enemy; our mind with its limitations.

That’s the only way the mind has to keep your power in check; by giving you a past, by overloading you with the heavy burden of responsibility of your horrible deeds.

.
But be aware, every time you say to yourself ”I’m bad, because I have done so and so. I have failed because I was not capable of being this or that.” Be aware that every time you say it, you are admitting you are your past.

By saying to yourself: ‘I’m a cheater’, you are now stuck with the baggage of a cheater. You have to cheat because that what cheaters do. And just like that, on that matter, your power of choice is gone.

Happy your enemies, happy all those who want to control you even when they doing it in the name of love or with the pretense of help.

Every time you say: ”I’m this or that, or I’m not this or that” you are renouncing to your freedom. You are leaving the infinity of choices and, by leaving that infinity, you have brought your past into the present and you, therefore, have given up your power of choice. Nice trick eh?

.

Alike a jailer; your mind and anyone who wish to control you, will force you into your past reminding you of it at every possible chance and by doing so, they rob you from your future, your power, truth and freedom.

We are NEVER the same person we were a second or a minute ago.

We are only what we are now. This is the only truth.

We are only the infinite beyond the bars of our own jail the mind has instructed us to create.

But today, now, gather your strength, trust your inner power and seize the infinity.

Today, let go of your chains and know your have infinite possibilities because YOU ARE INFINITE, no matter what you have been led to believe till now.

The door is open, you just need the courage and enough inner freedom to cross it.

A leader creates leaders, a master creates masters…

A leader creates leaders, a master creates masters.

If the followers of a leader remain followers for too long it means the leader or master is doing something wrong.

It means the master or the leader are letting their ego doing the teachings as the ego loves followers and status.

This is also true for counselors and teachers.

The trap of emotions and the paraside energy of the mind: Dealing with different worlds.

I have been researching on the field beyond the dual zone of consciousness, in the infinite universes and realities where we find somewhere at the lower levels the Narrative of the mind (ego) what Carlos Castaneda calls the ordinary-reality; the world of energy or non-ordinary reality and above those, but not at the top, the pure intent of the free infinite spirit.

Everyone of these universes have its own truth. Aplying the truth of one universe to the other creates conflicts, caos and more solidity.

We don’t know how an infinte soul got stuck into a world of energy, and even worse, got identified with the mind and its interpretation of particle of energy. What we know is we are here and that we were given and accepted so many wrong indications, false explanations, to bring about a total amnesia about who we really are.

It is so, a moltitude of infinite beings believe firmly into being a body. A mind.

In truth, I found out, we aren’t our body, we aren’t our mind and we aren’t even what we call the spirit, or that inhorganic form of life which has a position in space.  We are beyond anything which can fit or be described by a mind.

Therefore, we are not our emotions. There is nothing our in emotions, decisions, experiences or awareness. It is all part of the game of entrapment.

Ouspensky said: “First one must try to remember oneself and secondly remember that what is depressed is not oneself  but one imaginary picture of oneself.”

So, in some way we get into a system of energy and we are given a mind which traslates the energy into a movie…. this imaginary becomes so real we start thinking we ‘are- that image of our body. By doing that the 3 universes collaps. Now, by becoming the energy of that image we believe anything which happens to that energy/image happens to us.

We, therefore assume we are vulnerable as our body is vulnerable. and so we experience joy, pain, coflicts and all the rest.

And so, when the imaginary shows the loss of someone, we start feeling the loss, the pain even if in reality as spiritual beings we are always connected. We never meet or separate from anything. But of course, being guided by the mind, at this point, we are totally blind to the truth of our infinity and his higher perceptions.

How can we regain self awareness? How do we defeat the parasite mind?

Jiddu Krishnamurti, Robert Adams have given us some advices. Some peace of truth for the higher spiritual mind. Ouspensky has suggested to make it a way of life to be consciuss by remembering oneself.

“We only imagine that we are awake. So when we try to remember ourselves it means only one thing—we try to awake. And we do awake for a moment…” by PD OUSPENSKY

“There must be complete cessation of all decision, of all the urge to get rid of something, chase away anything. Than I can look.” by Jiddu Krishnamurti

…

You need to want freedom no matter at what cost. Every single moment need to be saturated by that intent to remember. You need to learn to observe and put distance between you and the mind: its toughts, its judgments, opinions, sides, faults or qualities. You need, one step at the time, to regaing your true sight and to separate the three or more universes.

And if you do that, your true nature will emerge. It is what the mind calls magic.

What is love?

.

Love is freedom, is truth, is the timeless pure connection of two souls touching.

This is love and it is unconditional.

When it is anything less than that, loves becomes a trap, a selfish activity where someone seek, knowingly or not, to own another soul.

When it is anything less than that, love loses the freedom and turns into a chain. And so most people confuse love with a prison.

The latter stage is where you find most people, and that is the reason why the words LOVE has gained such a bad reputation. It is connected with fear, betrayal, pain. It is connceted with temporary joy of owning the attention or the body of another.

But pure love is freedom.

It does not ask you to change, at the contrary, it sets you free.

Free to discover who you really are, free to follow your deepseated dreams. Free to walk you path and to choose your ways wherever they might take you.

In unconditional love the ‘I’ (ego) has no voice nor power.

The substitute

.

.

I was driving down the road. I was not alone.

The mind was hovering over me like a predator ready to catch his prey with its mighty claws.

A feeling of dismay and a great, deep sadness pervaded me just as a thick fog would permeate everything and all.

 “I’m so tired to be alone. I so wish I could have someone I can trust with all myself, someone who will never stub me on my back. Someone I can fall asleep with, feeling safe, and at peace.”  I felt tired.

The claws of the mind were about to seize me when I saw the shadow of two of my worst enemies at my side, holding me in place right there: my self-pity and my self-importance.

I instinctively took distanced from everything and asked myself a question:

“What would I say to my ‘students’ if anyone of them would be in this situation? What I would do to help them?”

Suddenly, the mind unprepared from such strike, retrieved in a hurry.

“How could you possibly expect a “savior”, a “trusted friend”, in something which does not exist?

When you enter in a dream, when you sit in the middle of an illusion, you are creating upon invisible imputes, stimulus, a reality of a world. It could seem very real, but still it is all an illusion. And, in an illusion, the only real thing is you.

Not your appearance in the illusion, not you thoughts (the mind), but you.

So, if you are the only real thing, you are also the only one you can really trust and the only one who can set you free.

You better then; start taking care of yourself, as you are the only one you have got.”

Silence.

I realized, I, as the majority of dreamers who have forgotten are dreaming, seek into others what they cannot be, what they do not know they could be.

We let our mind seeding fears and limitations and then, in our dreams we obey to them instead of setting other courses or paths.

.

.

Perhaps, being able to create your dream at will and as you pleased, could result in a great liability and carry a danger that could not be underestimated.

Too many, seat on their contentment once they think the power to change their dreams is achieved, and doing so forget there are not awake.

They forget it is just an induced dream.

And so, there are very few of us capable to achieve harmony and peace in their dreams and still remembering that the purpose is not to get comfortable, but to awaken to fight for an higher freedom.

RIGHT and WRONG: the infinite shades of truth

“Abandon false ideas, that is all. There is no need of true ideas. There aren’t any.”

Nisargadatta (20th century Indian Advaita mystic)

·♣♣♣·

This fake pandemic for some, or not so fake for others, has not only been the source of fears, worries and of a significant number of deaths among the already sick (and/or with a very low immune system) and those considered part of the “non-productive” band of society, but has been used for another purpose: ‘Divide and conquer’.

SAFETY WITHOUT FREEDOM  is SLAVERY

In truth, people will enter into wars, will fight and kill their family members, best friends, and neighbor in order to assert their rightness, unaware of the fact that everyone is wrong and all are right, depending on where they stand.

The fear monger, the deep state, both know very well how to use this datum to manipulate the masses.  Revolts and act of protest resulting in violence is what they wish for, this in order to justify extreme measures of control issued to “bring back safety” into the population.

“Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” 

“Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.”

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Most of the time, we will find those people fomenting both sides.

For example: If they wish to vaccine the population, a campaign in favor of the vaccine is started (one or several campaigns). Of course they are going to use fear and safety to make this cause appealing.

On the other side, well knowing some people will actively disagree they will put someone in place to lead and direct the opposition.

This military tactic is called PSYOPS

GUIDING THE OPPOSITION

Knowing an opposition is inevitable, the fear monger or/and deep state select someone  to lead the “rebels”. With minimum damage to the main goals, the ‘plant’ steers the opposition into ineffective actions and results that, although meaningless, give the opposition a feeling of gaining ground or the illusion of a sort of result.

Crowd calming deals, apparent compromises and simulated draws-back allows the manipulator to gain time and work undisturbed. While  the “rebel” pauses, waiting for a resolution, the other side, unhindered, further its plans.

The very majority of the time, people fight each other in wars unaware that, behind the scene, “their leaders” work, obey and get orders from the same guy.

So, when you choose a war, if you are in need of one or if you cannot withhold yourself from join one, choose carefully, but most important, do not trust anyone who tells you to sacrifice all you have, your family, your friends, you fellow man for a future beautiful world, because the beautiful world start where you are.

Your “war” for a better world start when you respect and help those in needs near you, by avoiding wasting food, and by stopping to generate tons of unnecessary garbage that has filled up our oceans and the third world countries.

You don’t have to go far. The further you go, the less control you have, and the more are the chances the ones in-charge, will take advantage of the situation to their own benefit as many have already done.

At the top of most no-profit organization are men who take your money (savings of the working class) to pay for their big salaries and for the creation of skillfully designed campaigns to publicized the very few people they “help” to gain more support, while,  at the bottom, people like you do voluntary work for free.

The pink, the blue or red ribbons you buy are fattening the pockets of the big bosses while, those dying, do not have a ride to the hospital or are unable to pay for their cures.

RECOGNIZE YOUR TRUE ENEMY

Regardless of what may appear, very seldom your enemy is the person in front of you. He usually never makes it to the front line.

You will always have to deal with someone else, someone bought by lies and promises, the fear monger/ the deep state never intended to keep.

As for me, you, and everyone else, we all have a very limited view of truth, if any.

For this, a very important step is to train ourselves to recognize lies.

“Abandon false ideas, that is all. There is no need of true ideas. There aren’t any.”

Nisargadatta (20th century Indian Advaita mystic)

“The surest way to be deceived is to think oneself more clever than others.”

François de La Rochefoucauld

Next time you look at someone with different ideas, pause and think for a moment.

Why this person is believing this?

He might be scared, he might have been given false data, or is you, who has received false information?

Who has interested in the fight?

Who is gaining? and when I say gaining I mean GAINING?

You might need to protect yourself from the attacks of people nearby, people blinded by fear, lies and confusion, but remember, they are not your real enemy.

They are been manipulated like everyone of us. They have been fooled into believing there is only one reality.

Do whatever it is needed to be safe but DO NOT engage into war against them. They are not your real enemy.

While climbing up a mountain the view changes.

The same scenario seen by happy people changes considerably from the perception of the same scenario by people under a lot of stress or suffering from depression. The cultural background, the expertise in certain areas, are also a contributing and modifying factor on the person’s perception of truth.

What it might appear a bad news to one on a given subject or area,  could be a great news to another with a different type of  knowledge or background.

“Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.”

Will Rogers.

Imagine a group of people walking up a mountain.

If you would ask them what they see, you would get different answers depending, not only on their emotional state, but also on where they are and from where they look.

The one at the bottom, will tell you there are only trees. He is right and he is telling you the truth. The one a little bit higher will also see few houses, the one higher would mention the existence of a lake, while the one at the very top might even see a far away land on the other side of the sea.

They are all right, even if they seem to report different things.

If you put them together, they might even argue with each other trying to assert their own truth. There is no house, there is no lake and there is no other land!

If they never made it to the top of the mountain, if they are only aware of what it is in front of their nose, they will fight and try to refute any other reality.

“The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.”  F. Scott Fitzgerald said that in 1936.

“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”  (Aristotle)

So, they are all right and at the same time they are all wrong, as, in all cases, there is more to it than what they see.

Arguing does not change the scenario for anyone of them. If you really understand this point, you will be able to love people for who they are and for what they believe.

“The surest way to be deceived is to think of yourself more clever than others, and neglecting opposing views because you don’t agree with them.

If you want to be a critical thinking and prevent yourself from falling into self-righteous, self-serving conclusions, be open to other ideas besides your own thinking model.”

Fitzgerald’s model of thinking. (https://medium.com/personal-growth/f-scott-fitzgerald-on-first-rate-intelligence-7cf8ea002794)

“Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens’ lives. Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons.”

 Ron Paul

And if we move a little bit higher than the top of the mountain, where the mind does not have a chance to rule, we will discover there are no sides, no right or wrong, just a beautiful flow of energy.

“[C]hange is not merely a force of destruction.

Every form is really a pattern of movement, and every living thing is like the river, which, if it did not flow out, would never have been able to flow in.

Life and death are not two opposed forces; they are simply two ways of looking at the same force, for the movement of change is as much the builder as the destroyer.

The human body lives because it is a complex of motions, of circulation, respiration, and digestion.

To resist change, to try to cling to life, is therefore like holding your breath: if you persist you kill yourself.

In thinking of ourselves as divided into “I” and “me,” we easily forget that consciousness also lives because it is moving.

It is as much a part and product of the stream of change as the body and the whole natural world. If you look at it carefully, you will see that consciousness— the thing you call “I”— is really a stream of experiences, of sensations, thoughts, and feelings in constant motion.

But because these experiences include memories, we have the impression that “I” is something solid and still, like a tablet upon which life is writing a record.

Yet the “tablet” moves with the writing finger as the river flows along with the ripples, so that memory is like a record written on water— a record, not of graven characters, but of waves stirred into motion by other waves which are called sensations and facts.”

― Alan W. Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity
