Image copyright Boardman Robinson - 1916. the carrot and the stickI often begin writing by exploring the etymological meaning of a word. I do so, because a word does not hold any meaning within itself, it is merely a pointer to something else. A symbol, a signpost, a direction. As a simple example, the word ‘Door’, is not any actual physical door. Words are symbols. The reality the symbol of a word points towards is variable and constantly changing. A door may be as small as a door in a dolls house or as large as one might find to the entrance of a 13th century monastery or a Palace. Doors may be a variety of colours and made from a variety of materials. And so, viewed alongside the possibility of destinations any signpost of words may point towards, are a myriad of possibilities. The actual, is tangible, variable in nature, as closed and inaccessible to the word, as a door itself, may be closed to the outside world. The word, or group of words, do not contain their meaning. They contain a direction to look into, to find something else. To find the meaning. From childhood, the importance of the word ‘motivation’, was deeply instilled into our brains. I don’t care what your background in life is, Jew, Arab, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, American, Iranian, Russian, Chinese, European or African. Or any countless number of other possibilities. Rich or poor. The word is not what it points to. I do hope this has been adequately explained. The word itself is a sound. Letters. A symbol. We must look beyond the word to ascertain any meaning. Life, is not found in words, it is found in meaning. The more words, the better the description, the more informative the symbol. The larger the amount of words, the more intricate and complex is the signpost we are to follow to come to an understanding of the meaning of the words. This may be enhanced by studying the etymological recorded meaning of the word, which is the original intended meaning, which provides us with greater understanding, yet, still consisting of words, remains in need of investigation. For no amount of words, no amount of symbols, contain the meaning which is only to be found in the tangible living quality of what it is they point towards. In this instance, we are investigating the words ‘motivation’ and ‘motive’. Words, with close meaning and belonging to the same family. The word ‘motivation’, carries an etymological meaning of “act or process of furnishing with an incentive or inducement to action”. The psychological meaning of the word “motivation” etymologically defined is “inner or social stimulus for an action." Sounds about right, and likely few reading this so far would have any cause for disagreement. We are, of course, building more signposts, but as in the case of a map, the more signposts we find, the easier to arrive at our location, providing they are pointing in the right direction which is not mistaken to be the word being used to point there. Let’s now look together at the word ‘motive’. In this case we find "something brought forwards, a proposition, assertion, or argument", carrying a meaning of "that which inwardly moves a person to behave a certain way, mental state or force which induces an action of volition". Again, we likely would all nod heads in agreement and recognition that this is an accurate extrapolation to provide greater symbolic meaning to the original solitary isolated symbol of a word. But still, we have not arrived at the destination, we must be careful not to be caught by the words, or we are living in the nature of the fool whose eyes are glued to the finger of the man pointing at the moon. We are the man who imagines he has travelled the width and breadth of a land surface, by studying a map. ‘Motivation’ – an “act or process of furnishing with an incentive or inducement to action”. “Incentive” is etymologically defined as "that which moves the mind or stirs the passion," as in the case of a donkey, who has no desire to carry a heavy load on its back for miles, but will gladly and willingly do so if a carrot is offered. To ‘induce’ etymologically is "to lead by persuasions or other influences," Of course, looking briefly in this etymological focussed direction, we can see these words are very similar in nature. And so a ‘motivation’, or ‘to be motivated’, means to do something for the sake of something else. Coming back to our poor old donkey, this is to walk for miles with a heavy burden, ever chasing the carrot suspended in front of its face. The carrot provides the stimulus for the desired task of moving a heavy load which could never be completed without it. One can therefore be motivated to complete a task unsatisfactory to one’s own life by being similarly manipulated by others through the offering of reward, or through fear of punishment. The carrot and the stick. Motives are very important in our shared human existence. The motive of providing a wage to support a family is what drives many people to work. A large amount of people finds no enjoyment in their work activity per se, which is within itself often laborious and unsatisfactory, yet the motive of a wage provides the carrot which stimulates action, leading to the desired aim of meeting the goal of financial enough security in life enough to support a family. At least until recent years, this has been the case. Having a motive, or 'being motivated', simply means to be involved in an action for the sake of a reward which lies outside of the action itself. It is not the action itself which is rewarding, rather, it is the hope of eating the carrot promised, or the avoidance of the stick threatened. Every child is educated to this. It is laborious to spend days and nights involved in remembering generally uninteresting information, but the seeking of a high mark on the exam sheet, often rewarded by parents and society alike, becomes the carrot to drive every child forwards. Or not, as the case may be. The ‘successful’ conforming to this pattern is taken to be a sign of innate ‘intelligence’, which of course, is ridiculous. There is nothing intelligent about complying life actions to meet the demands of others. Living a life acting on motivations, therefore, is to find the value of life not in the actual daily actions of life, but in reaching the end of those actions and receiving one’s reward. The joy of playing a musical instrument, is lost in preference of becoming a ‘rock star’. The joy and happiness of bringing a sick child’s life to health is lost in preference of a motivation seeking great wealth for doing so, succesful, or not at the task, as the case may be. The joy of meeting life as it is, as it actually presents to us all, is lost whenever we meet life with a motive. And we have all been educated to this pattern of living, so much so, it has become an automatic process in our brain cells. And so we have lost the joy of life. Joy in life is found in a love of life, and you cannot love living a life full of actions in which you find no joy in doing. We build relationships, often not so much relating to all people in our lives, which is only to say meeting accurately without bias the people who live in the shared time and the place we find ourselves alive, but, motivated as we are, as we have been societally brainwashed to be, we now seek a future goal, a reward, in everything we do. We seek the carrot. Meaning, we have removed ourselves from the ability to do anything for its own sake. Everyone wants a reward for everything. The more unique the offering, the more useful to others, the greater the reward expected. We can see this in all areas of life. In the pandemic just passed of questionable origin, vaccinations offering a stated medical solution came at great financial cost. We are not investigating here the efficacy of the pharmaceutical industry's ‘solution’, we are looking into the legitimacy of ordering our lives on motivations, an approach to life in which we all are well involved in. From low to high. The billions, even hundreds of billions gifted as reward for vaccine production was funnelled into the arms of the pharmaceutical giants who produced them, greatly enhancing the lives of those so invested. The giant carrot at the end of the journey. The motivation for the production of the vaccines. The vaccines themselves, as is always the case when approaching life through a motivation, were likely of secondary interest. Bill Gates, a man who lives and breathes motivation, who has lived his life directed towards the sole purpose of gathering huge quantities of wealth, (carrots), is one central figure to this entire sorrow filled episode in humanity's history who personally benefitted greatly from the pandemic. There are many others. Political and so named 'scientific'. No joy, no satisfaction, no happiness, in finding a cure to be found in the action of finding a cure, the motive, has so obviously been the reward. Otherwise, why is it even there? Why is the reward so very high, regardless of the outcome? Do we need a carrot to do anything of benefit for humanity, for our own family? Is the joy of meeting the issue itself, not reward enough, and if not, why not? Would Mr. Gates have even considered spending his time, energy, practically immeasurable wealth, (previously gathered carrots), in helping his fellow man, had there been no motivating factor? Or was his own stated twenty fold return on investments in the vaccine industry his main focus? I leave you to listen to the man's own words and to decide. And yet, if helping a fellow man is the only reward, and none other is expected, nor sought after, are we not then in best possession of an honest action of care and love and relationship to and for others? Is this of no value to our lives? Has our childhood deep indoctrination to motivation so corrupted our lives? Does the seeking always of a reward outside that offered by meeting the task itself well, not distort life and make life unnecessarily complex, causing us all many problems? Has this practice not resulted in the benefitting this day of only a very few, the most established, the most 'driven', the deeply 'motivated', (as we all are to gathering more and more). Lets divert a little and compare our society to a garden. In our societal garden, these giants are now channeling all water and all nutrition to themselves, let's say, the largest of trees. Inevitably, the garden as a whole thirsts to its demise and the water laden trees themselves eventually come to drown, and so inevitably, the end destination of self interested motivation and its seeking of higher and higher rewards holds within its own movement the inevitable destruction of the whole garden. Is this a sane approach to life? Or one we have accepted without question until now? Is it not time we began to question? Before the whole garden dies? We are not criticising Mr. Gates, only pointing out the underlying train tracks which our lives have all been glued to travelling upon from a very early age. Brainwashed into, from a very early age. Bill Gates is only one of the world’s most adept in the societal unquestioned art of leading life by a motive, which is so destructive to us all, but we are all operating in the same fashion. We are all acting in this way. We call this 'seeking success'. Becoming something. Then becoming something more. Pity the new born child born into a world at a time when all has been previously claimed and stashed into someone's back pocket. Oh, and that date has been forecast, 2030, we all own nothing, and we are all happy. The carrot. If not? Does the stick await? We will never be happy until we connect our lives back to their meaning. Living in completion, where and when we are. Going nowhere, other than for the joy of the journey itself. Our lives miss the joy of living found only when doing something for itself. When acting without a motive, which is to act, without seeking the carrot. Depending upon our own previous and present and yet to come life experiences we will all have our own outlook as to how well the Covid vaccines met their stated aims, to safely protect us from harm. They were practically promised by government and science alike to be so, yet came with no money back guarantees. My personal view, which I am not trying to encourage anyone to accept, is that the reward given well outweighed the task expected and well missed the assurances given. In this case, I think the donkey dropped the load before he even began travelling and gobbled up all the carrots. I personally may be called 'vaccine injured', and I never even took a vaccine. I am a case belonging to the category of what has come to be known as ‘shedding’. I caught Covid four days after receiving a Vitamin C injection from a doctor, (for an unrelated issue), who that very morning had just received a Pfizer booster. (She told me so). I developed Covid symptoms shortly after, was bed ridden for around five weeks and life has been a lot more difficult ever since. It is now almost one and a half years later, and although certain therapies have helped, I still suffer debilitating daily neuropathic pain, eye problems, deep brain pain, general chronic fatigue, severe muscle and joint pains. Some days, a lot of days, I find it difficult to stand, such is the degree of neuropathic foot and leg pain I continue to experience. I know it was the coming into contact with this recently vaccinated doctor which was the source of my physical problems. I have long suffered an autoimmune disease, which had previously affected my nervous system, I was in a wheelchair on and off for two years around thirteen years ago. Covid, or 'shedding' from this almost immediately vaccinated person, ramped up old symptoms to an agonising degree and brought along a handful of new ones to boot. Prior to this one massive slip up, which ironically I had decided upon to try to protect my body from the Covid virus, due to my autoimmune illness, and so had shielded my life almost completely from the much broadcast virus, I had taken great care to avoid contact with others other than my family, who had taken the same level of care, to protect me. My stepson had moved to living with his father as he did not wish to be so limited in life, my son had taken to home schooling. I had never previously heard of ‘shedding’ (unfortunately), and so was ignorant to the dangers. Ignorant to any possible physical danger which might meet an unvaccinated person coming into contact with one vaccinated. I never considered the vaccine for myself, not because I am ‘anti-vax’, but because I did not like the fact that it was all experimental. ‘Safe and effective’ it may well seem to be, but being an experiment, only the forthcoming march of time, could ever truthfully paint an accurate picture of. DDT was deemed so 'safe and effective', that people were advised to bathe in it, doctors once encouraged pregnant women, not to stop smoking, but which was the best brand for them to smoke. I have heard from many others, people like me today, in similar positions. I deeply question the unquestionable vaccine as the cause of the rise in sudden adult deaths. I am not saying it is so, I am saying I deeply question it. It is insane not to. That media, owned by the same large investment firms which profited from the vaccines refuses to do so, raises an eyebrow so high it almost touches the ceiling. Are we looking at the curse of humanity of living life on the unquestioned word of the holy book of motivation? I cast no blame, I seek no judgement, the past is the past, I cannot travel back in time to undo the effects of that day. Neither can Bill, or others like him who stated the whole world needed participate in this science experiment, which from this perspective was the most unintelligent advice any man could ever have given. Bill appears to have benefitted greatly from the misery of millions. Was his advice arising from truth, or from a hidden motivation? Again I leave you decide. The last thing I am trying to do is to convince anyone of anything. Look beyond the words, look at life. It tells you everything you need, if you have eyes to listen, and ears to hear. Look beyond all words. We are all living rather insanely, in fact, we are not even living. We are too occupied chasing our rewards. And what is occupied is never free to meet life as it is. Life passes us by, we are too busy focussed on something else to notice it. The excitement of the next prize drowns out the beauty of our lives, love is lost, relationship dies and conflict comes to reign, as the rewards demanded become greater and greater in size, denying even sustenance to those who either see no sanity in living this way, or to whom life never dealt such a hand. Denied the smallest of rewards by those seeking the largest. Living for a motive as a directive for our life actions, (which the gathering of wealth always is), money is the carrot, is to do something with eyes turned towards a seemingly greater interest. I may hate what I am doing. I may have no interest at all in what I am doing. I may wash dishes or clean toilets all day long and my life ultimately becomes a dreadful meaningless bore. And I will continue doing so, as long as the reward offered is providing something I want or perceive I need in my life. Something I see as of the greatest value. Which may in truth only hold value to the extent of what I have been conditioned to see as valuable, in effect, this may be the most valueless of all. As an example, 'wealth', invented by others, drawn from thin air. And what use is a twenty kilo bag of carrots to the donkey who already possesses a warehouse full? Perhaps we are beginning to see, that those most motivated to do anything in life, are those most likely to do a very bad job at it and those most likely to accumulate to themselves more than they could ever need, while simultaneously, removing what many do need. The reason is simple, I have no interest, hold no love, no passion, no care, for the task itself. Nor for others. My mind is constantly occupied with my motivated gatherings. This is how we have been raised. This is truly how we have been raised. And this is why our society has gone to hell. Is it any surprise? We are valuing as the most valuable, the act of forever seeking a prize and the price of seeking that prize is the denial of an ability to live freely in the present moment, in the very place our life exists. We have been educated to turn our backs on life and so deeply has this programming burrowed into the human psyche that we have now find life rather meaningless, death fearful, we live in the world, without meeting the world, we are all too busy to give our complete attention to this world as it is. Seeking future rewards. Even the King of England, a man who reportedly owns one sixth of this planet's surface, is heavily invested for future returns. In a world where six million children die of starvation yearly from hunger. And so this man, the King of the 'Great Reset', the man who sits on Golden Thrones and adorns his head with priceless jewels, for all his landed and other incalculable numerical wealth, is as much a pauper as anyone else who lives this way. For to live for future recompense and planned out motivation, is to live missing the point of life itself, only found in meeting the present moment unencumbered by time. It is to live loveless in heart and self interested in mind. And so the human mind and heart become a battle place, short in temper, lacking all compassion, void of love and care for another, as each man seeks his highest reward. You cannot be involved in a battle and hold love in your heart. The greatest of rewards is to be found meeting the present moment, but to do so, one must meet a death. The mind of societally conditioned self interest, must end. The mind must meet silence, to see the present moment as it is without the distraction of time. Thought is knowledge, stored in the memory cells of the brain. Thought, is time. Is there any value in looking at life at all through handed down unquestioned images of any description which divide men, (and divisions lead us to war), when the world as it is, without such imagery is the same for each one of us. I wish my brothers and sisters would stop fighting, I wish they could find eyes clear enough to see that these images they hold, handed down over centuries, carried of each other and of themselves are the root of their violence between and against each other. I wish they could forget themselves, that they might come to see another. All are looking at symbols, love is not found here. The symbol is the pointer. And the symbol is projected knowledge from the mind, and so the image seen of the 'other' a burning hatred which may come to be focussed upon, is a part of the person possessing the image. They are looking at themselves. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are. I cannot see any person clearly if I hold a signpost with their name on it in front of their face. I cannot see the world as it is through any image. The difficulty now, is coming to a clear view of life, removing the symbols which divide us, for in the corridors of time many winds have blown and many signs are pointing in a direction not conducive to our ability to live in harmony. Yet, we find security still in following these unquestioned symbols. We never travel to the destination to verify any of them. We need learn to question the maps we carry, are they still an accurate lay of the land which they claim to represent? We find our security in historical images, religious, national, ideological, political and others. As we have been educated to, brainwashed to in a way. To become part of a larger group, which divides from all other groups, for no other reason than it has always been this way. From early childhood we are told what we are, and what we are differs dependant on where we have been born and who is telling us. We never question as children. We accept, and this acceptance becomes our authority later in life. I personally see every man as my brother and every woman my sister. I belong to no group, and so, I am free, to see you all freely and to love you all. I hold no beliefs, for I witness daily, how these tear our lives apart and burn down our homes. And so, I am as far from an 'anti-semite' or 'anti' anything else as can be, but I must question the logic in the recent statement by Ursula von Der Leyen when she stated the following: "We must keep telling the Horrors of the Holocaust and Never forget". Why Ursula? Why need we do so? Why need a horrific past never be put down? Why is the past more important to keep in memory than to awaken to see the horror of the world we are living in this day? The horror of the Ukrainian/Russian war, as one example? It is beyond tragic that six million of our Jewish brothers and sisters died because of divisive ideologies between men. But this happened now around eighty years ago, it is over today - and has our world changed one bit? Have we learned the lessons and ended all divisive ideologies and imagery we see the world thorugh, which makes it possible for such tragedy to happen? Six million children die every year, this year and every year, from starvation. The same number as the totality of Jews murdered in the entire second world war. And this, is happening, now. One, every five seconds. Is it not more important to see these poor suffering children, for they belong to a time that we may yet save them? They belong to now, the past is over. What can we do to affect the past? What is the purpose or motivation behind being requested to remember forever one particularly brutal insane activity from the long history of never ending sorrow from the divisively led lives of humanity we could choose from? I have personally visited Auschwitz on more than one occasion. And I have wept. But I have wept more for the world we all live in today. For today is before my eyes, it is a living thing, and the past is only a memory. We have discussed why seeking a reward is to remove life from the joy of living, which is true action, which is the action of doing something which we find the reward, not in a future carrot offered, but in the action itself. The action itself, is its own reward. Seeking rewards outside the action, leads us to manipulate our own lives and the lives of others to our motivated isolated desires. This leads us to dishonesty. Individually and societally. Think of the Iraq war. I am sure you can add your own examples. There are so many. The politician seeking a reward, ceases to act in the interests of his people, the trusted position he occupies is a mere washing of the dishes or the cleaning of the toilet. The eye is turned towards the larger carrots offered by those who seek that political direction to be veered towards their interest, which are their motivations, which are the carrots they seek. The hidden goals behind every agenda. Do you see how motivation is destroying our lives? Are you motivated? Motivation, the doing something for the sake of something else, appears an educated conditioned curse indelibly stamped upon the psyche of all of humanity. This very day western nations are being flooded with immigrants, legal and 'illegal', which in time will forever alter the lives of all on this planet. People living physically together yet psychologically apart, holding divided outlooks, divided beliefs, divided backgrounds, and so living with different values and giving contrasting meaning to their lives inevitably come to conflict. This activity is someone’s motivation. Or more likely, a group of people. The group with the largest fridge full of accumulated carrots. No one else other than this, could pull off such a task simultaneously in so many countries. Let's not talk about the closing down of farms, the fires at food production facilities, as lab grown food hits the market or the explosion of interest in the rights of gay and transgender people. Such a shame no one has designed a pretty coloured flag for the rights of starving children to bread, one of whom, as previously mentioned dies every five seconds from starvation in this motive driven world. We need not forget this statistic, we need only open our eyes to see them. And we need only open our hearts to save them. The stated public aim is to help poor refugees. I would have nothing but praise for such an action if the action were transparently honest, but I question deeply if this is the true sought outcome. I suspect this to be more the superficial cloaking of someone’s (or group of people’s) hidden motivations. Someone is seeking an outcome within which they hope this action will lead their lives into. They are acting, not for the satisfaction of the action itself, they are acting for a projected end goal, and so they are acting with a motive. If we truly want to help refugees, is it valid to do so by disrupting the lives of local people who have lived and raised their families on these lands for centuries? Do local people's lives count for less than the refugees? If the care of all people is central to our hearts intentions, would a more accurate approach not be to stop all wars, and so stop all refugees, no matter the cost? To make all homes and all lands liveable. We seem to have an infinite supply of wealth for war, yet spend not one penny investigating the causes of war, that we may end them forever. War, is inevitable to a race of people all acting from a base of divisive motivations. Collectively, we, are that race. To spend as much time, energy and money to bring war to an end today, as we seem eager to spend on its eternal continuance. We destroy our lives, all our lives, we are one people, what we do to another, we do to ourselves, when we seek to act for the benefit of a reward which lies outside that which may be found in the action itself. A war rages between Ukraine and Russia today, soon to count in years. A war of motivations. All sides seeking an outcome, all sides destroying the world we live in this day. And so denying the security which can only be found when we live without seeking a motive. We are not even seeing the world we live in, for when the donkey’s eyes are turned to focus on the carrot in front of its face, the beauty of the road it travels and the potential of all relationship to it, are forever lost. And the man seeking to manipulate the donkey may have little love indeed in his heart for the welfare of the donkey, the desired goal reduces this life to that of a throw away tool. We have lost love in our lives because we so value motivation. Love is to meet life as it is. Life as it is. Motivation leads us to seek life as it is not, but life, as we aim for, hope it to be, believe it should be. Life as it is, is the same for each one of us, and is an effortless living in peace. Life as it is, is nothing to be strived for, it has already arrived. Life meets our senses effortlessly. The sound of a bird needs no effort on our part to reach our ears, the touch of sunlight against our faces, needs no effort to be felt. The love of life is met without choice, without seeking, and without strife. In fact, to try to meet life as it is, is to deny meeting life as it is, for in completion, there is nothing more to do. Arriving at one’s destination, where and when one is, there is nowhere else to travel. It is not motivation, which has led us to our incessant insistence on ‘progress’, which will bring our people to salvation. No matter the insistences of the leading members of the 'Great Reset' this day, or of any of its government infiltrated, (motivated), ‘young global leaders’. Life needs no leaders. Life needs be met. Not as you want it to be, as it is. Leaders provide the motivation, the encouragement, their direction, the dangling carrot. When the carrot fails the fall-back approach is the stick. This is how we are all living. This is how we are all being led. And this has all been made possible because we all have our own motivations, and so we are a deeply divided people, all in our own little groups, all seeking different things, all motivated by different beliefs, identifications and values. All ignoring the ever present potential of relationship in our lives this very moment, which insists that my eyes are not firmly focussed in any other direction than where I am and on no other time that when I am. It is here and now, we meet life. We have no need to travel further, if we have arrived. But to arrive, we must stop travelling. Our thinking is the inner concealed location of our motivations. Thought is the continuity of desire, both positive and negative. Our minds are cluttered inwardly, worn out, detached, isolated, fearful and desirous, because of this complex societal indoctrination, received at a young age, of accepting identification to conceptual ideologies and motivation as the driving factor of all our lives. Close your eyes, (not now), but at the end of these words. Close your eyes and listen. You will hear an inner world of great chattering. An inner world of fear, desire, pleasure and pain, division and a sense of conceptual time. Is this a world of inner harmony? This is a mind common to living for a future reward, and so necessarily detached from where and when life can only be found, here and now. A complex inner state which brings pleasure to life as easily as pain. Now turn attention outwardly. What is happening here? Depending on location, you may hear a bird song, a car driving past, a plane flying overhead, a bullet ricocheting or a bomb drop. Myriad are the possibilities, and I do hope your world around you, at least externally, remains a relatively peaceful one. How long that lasts, if it is, is greatly dependant on us changing how we approach life. We need an inner revolution to take place. We need to come to our senses. We need to meet the world in direct relationship to how it actually is. And to do so we need stop travelling. And to stop travelling we need to stop being motivated. As this living identified and motivating force found in our lives is functioning within our divisive patterns of thinking, it is here, we must meet change and change demands an ending of what came before, and an ending, is the death of what came before. Notice how the inner chattering takes away the ability to relate to external events. This inner programmed approach has completely removed all joy from your life and replaced it with pleasure. And pleasure is a poor substitute, for pain, is the reverse side of the coin of the constant pursuit of pleasure. Thought, rooted to divisive identification and motivated to future achievement, as it is now functioning, is the greatest of all life limitations. It will destroy us all, unless we change. A complete holistic relationship to life is needed to find joy and meaning in life. I cannot care for what I do not even see and I cannot see if I am intent on painting an image in front of another or arriving at a future goal. The beauty and depth of the relationship to others and this present living moment, which is the only meaning of all of life, is lost to the man whose heart is filled with divisive images and future desires. Whose mind is full of fear and pleasure, hatred and pain, these are all children of division and desire, and desire gives birth to motivation and division continues all wars. Motivations are a limitation to our lives. Divisions are the root of all conflict. That we have been educated to see it as otherwise is more indicative of a deep continuing sickness within our society than of any noble understanding. Working for self-interest is a limitation to our lives. We miss the whole of life. We miss here and now when we are on a road towards our own self projected self-fulfilment. Our life becomes meaningless, out-with of the promise of a greater conceptual future, the beauty of life itself as it presents to us is lost. And so we come to destroy the ground we stand on, which is a part of what we are, we destroy each other, who are the same as what we are, only holding different identifiable images, we destroy everything we have built and reduce our lives to an eternal suffering. And we call this suffering life. And we do all this in the name of progress. As a donkey progresses towards his carrot, and as the taste of the carrot is never met now, and now, is the only place where life has any meaning. The Jew has his motivations, the Arabs have theirs, the Christians, the same, the Muslims, also. The Americans, the Brits, The Russians, the Ukrainians. Do you see how we are all the same? All acting on educated beliefs, seeking the fulfilment of the divisive stories told to us as children, seeking a future harmony divisive between us promising great security, denying security now for all, in the only time which ever truly existed in the only place we ever find our lives? Here and now. The rich and the poor, the powerful and the downtrodden. The noble and the ignoble. The religious and the profane. We are all the same, all on train tracks offering an isolated (and so conflicting), conceptually driven accepted unquestioned destination which never arrives, upon which we all travel so fast that we miss the living beauty of the landscape which surrounds our lives and offers the healing of love and joy, of peace and understanding. Relationship, to life, to another, to death, to illness, to whatever presents in life, is only possible now. Relationship is denied when we seek it in a ‘future’ which is nothing other than a continuity of our divided past, projected eternally forwards in time. Life is not found in the continuity of what came before, life, is forever present. Love is effortless. Love cannot be sought. Love is not a reward. Love is not found in living your life seeking compensation. Love is not anger, and love is not hate. Love is not violence. Love is not an image. Love, is forever kind and forgiving. For love, is to meet life as it is, and to do so, you cannot be self-absorbed in the action of turning life into what it is not. Love is timeless, only those on a journey to a fixed destination know the pain of death, which is the denial of their future projected isolated rewards and the destination of the road of future desires fulfilled they live for. The denial of the continuity of self-identification. The denial of continuity towards a promised Nirvana. Time is measurement, and measurement has no place when living, for life, as it is, is infinite. Immortality is not to live forever in time. Immortality is to live free of time. In the ever present here and now. Which is to live without past and future. Past experiences, our own as well as educated into us, provide the impetus for our future seeking, within which our minds are eternally occupied in an action of becoming. Occupation, denies freedom, for what is occupied, is no longer free. Life is here, it has arrived, and so demands no becoming. Love is not to be met in the minds of men seeking a future carrot. Monetary, or otherwise. Love is outside of this mind of time, for love is a quality of timelessness, met only in completion, met only now. It is always now, and this now is home to the infinite. You cannot strive to love. All effort is the denial of meeting life as it is. And yet love is what we need to meet. How will we ever accomplish such a task so unfamiliar to our societally corrupted minds of time and divisive motivations? So alien to our traditional divisive approaches of meeting life by destroying the life we seek to meet? Quite simply, we can’t. This is not 'doable'
Any movement we take towards love, towards completion, towards the understanding of our lives, (which is the true meaning of a religious life), is a denial of what we seek. We are back again travelling towards a destination. And love is going nowhere. It is here, now. Love may have its own movement, but its movement is not that of travelling towards any fixed destination. We are forever missing the point of our lives. Love is complete, love is whole, love has already arrived, and love, being complete in itself, being whole, is holy. Another etymological relationship. Without this change, this internal revolution needed in how we approach our lives, we are doomed to the suffering our own actions brings to our lives as we each seek to make them better, all involved in the same process, all seeking reward, but each seeking our own personal isolated versions of it, based on beliefs, educations, identifications and judgements, which themselves are all based on past experiences. We deny that which we seek, which can only ever come to fruition now. For now, is the only time which ever existed. What does it mean to die? It means to end does it not? Death, is an ending. An ending of a journey, is the death of the action of travelling. An ending of a life, is the death of that life. An ending of a habit, is the death of that habit in your life. Death is synonymous to the word ‘end’. And death is nothing like what we have been educated to see it as. Death holds great beauty. The ending of all concerns and all efforts, all fears and all desires. The coming to peace in your life. Coming, to rest. And death is the meeting place of life and love. Life and death go together, they must do so, for life and death, are one. Death is not found at the ending of life, death, leads us into life. Would it be possible for our lives and so for our race to die to our divided pasts each seeking their own continuity in time through divisive motivating drives which divide our people, destroy our lives in war and actions against the lives of others acting the same yet holding differing life motivations that we may find the ability to begin anew? Is the past never over? To life, the past is dead. Life dies as it lives, lives as it dies, and this is creation, and this is the reality behind the word ‘God’ which man has so corrupted and has sought in so many directions yet never been able to find, for what can be sought other than that what is known, and is the birth of what is ever new, ever dying, and so ever being reborn, and so an act of creation, incapable of being met through an act of seeking it out? Only the old can continue. Only what is known, can be sought. And what is known, is old, and the old is never the creative. Life, love, joy and beauty are never old. The majesty of life, is found in the meeting the new. But for this to happen, the old, must end. Our lives are lived in divisive continuity of old patterns. Christians are two thousand years old. Buddhists, two thousand five hundred years. Hindus, ten thousand years old. The never ending nature of the continuity of our divisive pasts. Names and identifications come and go, but what divides us and makes relationship, care and love impossible is the continuity of these historical and psychological divisions. All seeking their own future, all divisively motivated to do so. And so all, although involved in the same activity, bringing great conflict and suffering to our world. The ‘Great Reset’, inevitably a 'Great Upset' to so many lives, is only the latest example of this limited and divisive, loveless, uncaring activity. Not casting stones, only stating facts. To cast a stone, it would have to be a very large one, for this is the activity of all of our lives. Can you die to your past continuity seeking future reward? Can you die to the activity of doing anything in life for a future reward, or for a reward offered by another? Can you be responsible for your own life? Here and now. Can you cease to believe in life anything you have not found for yourself to be true? Can you cease to be led in any field? Can you doubt, question, tear apart what you think, can you deny that which you find psychological security living within, which is no security you have found for yourself, can you face your inner carried fears, your worries, your anxiety, as they are, without seeking to go beyond them, change, suppress, or run away from them? Can you cry all your tears and put away forever your false laughter? Can you become real, as this living present moment, is real? Can you come to find the meaning of your life? For and by yourself. Can you throw aside the many carrots offered by others and break the sticks used to drive your life into their divisive desired destinies? Can you stand alone in life? Interestingly, the word ’alone’ originally meant ‘all one’, which is another word for 'complete', another word for 'whole,' another word with etymological relationship to the word ‘holy’. Impossible? I agree. What is possible is what we have so far achieved, through carrot and stick, through rewards and punishment, the possible is what is leading us, the possible is what we know. The known is where we live, the known is the past, the past which is divisive between us, the past is memory, memory is thought, thought drives our actions. This is the inner movement educated into us as children. You were not born for this. You were not born to this. You were educated to your beliefs, values, identifications, names and attachments. And they are all valueless. You were born empty of such things, you had to be taught them. Can you return to the mind of a little child who meets this living universe as it is, free from as it is thought to be? Free from even any knowledge of what you are? Can you meet life unknowingly? Can that which is ever new, ever be ‘known’? Memory, the past, experience, knowledge, all has its place. The past has no place in leading life. The past is dead, over, and what is dead has no access to love, for love, is a living and dying thing, a movement, always changing, the past in comparison, the ground we all stand on, which divides us as much as the lands we were born onto and the religions we believe in, remains eternally the same. The etymological exact meaning of the word ‘religion’ has been lost to time, but is greatly accepted as being most likely in the area of ‘gathering all ones’ energy to come to one’s own understanding of life and death’. As it is. Not as you have been educated to find security in unquestioningly accepting it should be. We cannot meet life and death as they are if we live in conceptual habits handed down over centuries which claim to love a living God, yet destroy the lives of men. Love is not divisive, love cares for all and love recognises no past and no future. And truth is nothing to be believed in. Love, is eternally present and truth is to be lived. Please, cast these words aside as a crazed man’s ramblings if you will, it means nothing to him. The author of these words is no authority and is asking you to accept nothing. But a word of warning, accept not one single word spoken, from any direction, not from me, or any other, unless you have travelled beyond the signposts to come to see what the word is pointing towards. Doing so has a tendency to lead your life into trouble, for all of us humans, and none more so than 'leaders', hold hidden motivations. We have all been brainwashed to this. Always keep in mind, the word ‘door’, is not the door. If you are passionate in life, take your own journey, it is your responsibility to do so, this is your life. Take the journey of no destination to come to where and when your life is actually lived. Here and now. Deny all who says you need travel with great effort and sufferance to reach elsewhere than this. Beware the time travellers, they are seeking something outside the magical completion of life found this moment, when you have stopped all travelling. Find the end of your journey, negate all motivation, negate all thinking seeking a reward and come to a stop, at the beginning of truth. Let nothing motivate you, see all, including yourself, as it is and as you are. This can be an arduous investigation, your societal conditioning has encouraged you to live in pattern ignoring your own life holistic awareness through the senses in preference of 'becoming' something. In this act of continual ignorance of the present moment in search of a reward to come and a destination which never completes the human mind has been wrongly used and is now home to many conflicting desires, attachments, ideologies, beliefs, fears, worries, concerns as a result. Listen to it all. Without choice. Face your birth pains that what you are this day may die, and that your life may be born anew, in truth, meeting life this moment as it is, the same for every one of us. And so, let your life come to be the beginning of the healing of this troubled world. If you can do this, if you can learn the art of this action of no-action, you will come to find out for yourself if these words written reflect the truth of what you find, or are deceptive in nature, pointing in an opposing direction than they claim to be. Either way, your life and death will have greatly benefitted by coming to your own understanding of it. At that point in time, you may accurately judge the validity of the signposts, the words, which pointed you there. And having reached the destination, having ended the travelling, having kissed the lips of death and life themselves, as they are, not as you think about them based on educated beliefs and ideas, the words themselves, true or false, will at that moment, have so very little meaning. For who, in their right mind ever goes back on a journey to praise the signposts which pointed them to their arrival point? I hear today, as part of our proposed led into a ‘New World Order’, we are to be led into a new ‘religion’, which those who hold their own motivations, (as we all do), have claimed 'Artificial Intelligence' to be capable and adequate of conceiving and delivering. This is a denial of the etymological meaning of the word itself. As is every belief based option available to us over countless centuries still present today. Take no offence at this statement please, let it open your heart to the cleansing movement of questioning. Question everything, the truth does not arrive to life if you insist on carrying and finding security in a continuity of the false. And what you have not personally verified in your own life, is always open to question. A continuity of what came before will not solve our many problems, we need to find something new. If the past continued were capable of solving our problems, we would all be living in a different world than this one today. Beliefs divide us, and love is only found in meeting the whole of life, and so the meeting of true religion, is a house of no divisions. And truth, is not a matter of belief. It is a matter of life. Doubt everything, certainly, including these words. Find your own understanding of your own life, for and by yourself, there is no greater truth other than this. And be the change this world truly needs to see. Or forever live your life chasing a carrot forever out of reach, being whacked on the backside by a sharp stick.

HAVE YOU BEEN LOOKING WELL ENOUGH?To place an image in front of life is to see the image and not to see life. Pretty standard stuff. Pretty common sense. No need for arduous lengthy study to immediately recognise this as fact. No need for opinion, no need for argument, truth is the same for every one of us, if seen clearly and this statement comprises words which to all other than the certifiable insane, points to a truth. You can’t see what lies behind an image. An image is a picture or words. Images are representations of something other than themselves, a photo of a mountain is not the mountain, the word mountain is also, not the mountain, though both represent the mountain, neither actually is, and each is only a capturing of the real in symbolical form to in some way communicate to another. Symbols, words, images, are pointers, signs if you like, towards a truth. They are not the truth itself, they do not contain the truth, they merely assert that the true exists. But the nature of the symbol is that it can misrepresent. To verify, to be sure, one must look beyond the symbol. If I am told in words that a beautiful mountain exists a hundred miles from where I live, I must travel there to validate the accuracy of the description offered. If I merely accept words or a picture, I have no ground to stand on regarding my understanding of what is truly there. I have only words. In these days of AI, I can also no longer come to trust the image or even a video, all can be falsely generated and represented. I can no longer trust any image of what I see as being factual. If I wish to understand the true nature of anything for myself, I need to look at the fact, for myself. If I wish to validate that a mountain truly stands there, I need to travel there to see it. Then, and only then, the image, the words, have value, or not. All else is hearsay. We live in complicated days, full of hidden agendas. The words our media are telling us, the words our media are not telling us. The fact that the media we have grown up to trust frequently does not marry to the world we meet daily, all points to a rather grand deception being played out in front of our eyes. But how can we come to the truth? When all is trying to convince us of something, how do we clearly see the actual, not the image, not the words, for as pointed out, these are not the actual and this day more so than in any day, are prone to falsification. We need check it all. Are we truly on a road to building back better? Was Coronavirus truly a natural pandemic? Were the stipulated medications truly safe and effective? Are governments attending the World Economic Forum working in the interest of their electorates? Were the fires which began the other day in Canada and have blanketed New York in thick lung clogging orange smoke truly a result of climate change? What did become of the 30,000 tons of Ammonium Nitrate which went missing from a cargo train a short time ago which, reportedly, on exposure to sunlight, emits an 'intriguing orange hue'? Is this all coincidental? Were the fires started intentionally to justify an agenda? Are we being lied to, spied on, manipulated and cajoled towards someone’s isolated desired future outcome for our lives? How can you tell? Will you listen to the picture painted by another? Or will you go look for yourself? The questions above are only a few on the tongues of many members of our race alive in these most unfortunate days of catastrophe which have arisen since King Charles announced his 'military style campaign on a war like footing costing trillions' at the COP 26 meeting in Glasgow a few years back, in the name of climate change, to save our planet. I understand this to be the case, for I run a Telegram channel (link on homepage ) and this kind of question is repeatedly asked daily by many people, day after day after day. Kind of to be expected, I guess. I don't know the answers, and even if I did, they would not be yours, I would be placing you in the same position to ask you to accept my words, but as one watches the entire unfolding picture one gets to see a broader lay of the land. My conclusions could be well off the scale, so I am not repeating them here. I am pointing out in this blog the necessity and urgency that we all learn to start looking at our complex world as it is. As it is, is a movement. It is never static, unlike the images and words we use to understand it. 'Climate change' is a posture interestingly enough strongly argued against by many actual living climate change scientists, who claim no global warming is taking place and that the minute quantity of Co2 produced by humans has no effect at all. Who to believe? None. We must drive to the mountain. We must lift our own images and those provide by others, and see the truth of the world we live within. This is a complex world, in a complex time. How does a person come to verify the absolute truth? It needs be pointed out repeatedly that this blog post is offering no opinion. No condemnation in any direction, no attacking anyone, no justification. Attacking does nothing but add violence in an already over violent world. We are questioning if we have the ability to impact our world for the better. We are questioning if any of us are even seeing clearly. I seek only peaceful solution to the troubles our race brings to it's own numbers. My conflicted and broken family. This is a problem of greater complexity and longer standing than what presents this day. The issue, is one inherent to our collective consciousness. We are discussing, in such a world of disparity as this one, where we might come to find stable, solid ground to truly ascertain the world around us, as it is, that we may act rightly in response to its daily happenings, to the events which keep piling up on top of each other, like some huge quantities of chemical laden trains jettisoning their loads repeatedly over prime agricultural ground. Or countless food factories spontaneously repeatedly catching fire, time after time after time. If we cannot ascertain truth from fiction, we are standing in a dangerous place. Our actions will not meet the facts, if our perception of the facts is out of sync with what is real and true. Are we truly 'building back better'? It’s been a couple of years, can I ask where the 'better' is to be seen? Trillions apparently, where are the signs we are coming to 'betterment'? But I diverse. Let’s get back to the art of seeing clearly. None of us are seeing clearly and until we learn this art, our world, whatever the events of the next few years, which I personally hold sneaking suspicion may go very wrong for many people, unless we stop relying on words and images for our understanding of the events unfolding provided by others. We can never be best prepared to deal with life if we are not acting on factual information. If we are not seeing what is actually there. Since the roll out of the highly ‘safe and effective’ (though experimental) medication to combat the surprise pandemic long forecast, in the isles of the UK alone, my home country, an estimated 2,500 additional deaths are reported now to be occurring weekly. Mainstream media has labelled these deaths ‘Sudden Adult Death Syndrome’ and the roll out of the experiment continues. The British present unelected PM, Sunak, has stated in Westminster his absolute faith in these experimental medications, yet has failed to address the rising deaths or seek out from which source their number is arising. He is, on this matter, surprisingly quiet. It's a complex world all right. Needing questioned, needing helped. Once more, perhaps for the last time, I am not passing judgement, nor pointing a finger, merely stating that not to question the position of an authority is to live on the accepted word of that authority, which is to take for granted a beautiful mountain resides one hundred miles from my home, without ever taking one step to verify this as fact. I could be living in cloud cuckoo land. Many of us, so many of us, I fear are. We have been 'educated' to accept authority. I have my own take on the experimental medications several highly influential people openly have stated all people in the world must take, which does seem an incredible insanity, after all, they are experimental, anything could go wrong. Many are stating it already has. I myself have been physically wounded neurologically, without even taking one. I am a case among the many of what has come to be known as ‘shedding’, a word which only a few years ago could likely only have represented the loss of hair of an animal or pet, yet this day has taken on an entirely new meaning. I know through my own investigation this has happened countless times. But my experiences are not yours, and if you take my word for anything, that makes you a second hand human being, and that is the last thing I wish for and counter to the purpose of this post. It is quite simply insane to be so reliant on the word of another for your understanding of life. And so, to hold no understanding of your own. The whole world becomes a North Korea. And the potential intelligence of the entire human race dies. We are not trustworthy us humans, not many of us anyway, we are inner motivated to benefit our own position, brainwashed to compete against each other, often at the expense of others, who we do not value in life position to the same degree as we value for our own lives. The dark art of competition inherent to our prior way of doing things, classroom instilled into each of us, has seen it to be so. Thirty-six trillion in tax havens as a young child dies every five seconds is adequate enough example. I know, it’s a figure I repeat often, it never ceases to astound me, I guess that’s why. We love to talk collectively and congratulate ourselves about how 'civilised' we are, our technological prowess, our advancements, our progress, our humanity. Our never ending solutions to problems which only bring more problems which only need more solutions which bring more problems. We very rarely look at our constant innate potential and propensity for absolute barbarity. It is perhaps the easiest of all to see. Are we so ashamed of our animalistic nature that we try to hide it in flowery sounding words and concepts of care? As human consciousness is one shared movement, (don’t take my word for that), we can cast no stones, and I cast none. I really mean it. I cast none. My work is questioning the potential for humanity to come to intelligent action, to end conflict, to end wars and to at last, at long last, find a life here on this beautiful planet worth living, free from the fear of the actions of any other. The past is over. The future is not here. It is what we do now that counts. To throw a stone at an attacker is to increase the level of violence in a world already dying from too many stones already thrown. At some point, we have to waken up to the fact that the way we do things, just isn’t working. And it’s us needs to change. Chaos abounds in our society, at every level. The higher the position, the greater the corruption, the more the lies, the more the missing funds, the more the weapons manufactured to kill innocent human beings. The less the care for the people the authority is in position to represent. The more the self-interest. The greater the ego. Lower down the chain, the same problems manifest. Only to a less impacting degree on the lives of others. The root of the chaos is within our collective consciousness. The enemy is within us all. The enemy is what we are. It is our shared psychological state we need bring to revolution. In technology, which could promise so much for our race, the same devious self-interested divisive controlling competing motivations populate every step forwards, leading our race one step forwards collectively and five hundred steps backwards. Innovations are used to consolidate power, to manipulate statistics, to take from those who have little and to give to those who could never spend what they have in a billion years. And we all worship this insanity with more than could ever be spent, as if this was the most noble sign of success. To this man, this is nothing other than a sign that our race has miserably failed. Better to judge our success in the falling numbers of starving children, than on how much one man has managed to control and conquer the world for his own desires. Perhaps I am strange. I hope there are many others strange like me. Our most 'succesful' will never lead our world to a good place, they have had enough time, if it was within their ability, we would be there today. It’s a strange world isn’t it? What word based imagery might we use to capture it? Chaotic? Barbaric? Insane? Demonic? Confused? Divided? Unintelligent? Sick? Degenerate? Psychopathic? Perverse? What's the cause? Not who is the cause, because this is our history, it will be our future also unless we change, nothing more certain. Change can only happen now. Should we not all be asking why we have and continue to always live this way? Why our 'ordering' brings chaos to our lives? Why we always end up in war, and even in times of peace, we are all busy preparing for the next war? Why we benefit comparing ourselves in pointless measures when we could all be living well, in harmony, in intelligence? Is it that we have never looked at life without the screen of what we divisively think about life? Is it? Is it we have no love for each other, and if this is true, then why not? So many of us claim to love a God we cannot see and outside of the words and images provided by others, have found no life evidence of. And we are so quick to take the lives of other men as we yet claim to love God. The mountain, is a hundred miles away, we just never travelled to see it. We accepted a description. We fear death so much that our numerically wealthiest this day are spending all their energies to live forever, but we have no understanding of death, other than an idea that it is the ending of the continuity of this conflicted bloody violent ongoing suffering misery of our collective lives. You know what would be funny? If death turned out to offer an existence one thousand times more satisfying than this life, and if these rich self-interested egotistic alchemists of this day were only prolonging their self-imposed conflicted torment? Wouldn't that be so funny? I personally hold no fear of death, I really don’t, it’s what I was born to do after all, it’s natural to life, not the end of life, but a part of life though such vision has been a long time coming. I do however fear what may come before it. For so many of us. Unless we all waken up. Another statistic I often quote in my writing is the 15,000 wars in 6,000 years our race has recently lived through, pointing to the fact that our collective insanity is nothing new, we never just rolled over into insanity in 2020, offering the Great Reset's 'narrow window of opportunity', there has always been a psychopathic glint in the corner of our collective eye. Is it not weird that we never have never apparently questioned why? Over a thousand years ago, Alfred the Great was laying down the path to the golden throne to keep King Charles’s bum warm this day. A thousand years before were the times of Jesus, and we all know of the persecutions and divisions of those times. If the stories are true, babies were being slaughtered en-masse to cater for the neurosis of one man who held a particular image in front of his otherwise clear view of life. I am of course talking of Herod as he sought to alter the course of a future foretold. To secure his life position by bringing immeasurable suffering to the families of every newborn. These days are likewise as biblical in nature, as factory farmed genetically modified children raised by the state are being discussed by certain affluential types to be the norm as soon as 2030. Have we lost sight of the natural designs of life altogether, so closed are we behind our inner accepted words, ideas and images? Evolution has certainly occurred technologically; humanity is wired exactly the same as the days of Herod. Sends a shiver down the collective spine, does it not? Will we ever change? Can we ever change? Were we created by this universe to live demonically, to meet our ultimate destiny, slain by our very own kind, kicked to the ground by our very own people, constantly under attack and repetitively murdered by our own brothers and sisters? All holding divisive images before the shared view of life, as it is? As it presents, when and where it presents. The same for every one of us, void of our divisive images, words and sense of isolated future this all builds. The enemy of us all is inside of us all. Without what we thought about and projected onto life, without the distorting images which make life as it is un-perceptible, we would be living in the same time and place. Without self interest, central to our societally programmed braincells, we are no more important than any other. Is this the ground of the love we are missing? Is this the birth of true relationship? To place an image in front of life is to see the image and not to obscure life. If we all agreed on what we saw, if we all saw the same, we would stop this collective divisive madness in a second, now present for thousands of years to this very day. We really would. You likely don’t believe it, and that is very good, you should believe no one and believe nothing, if you seek to understand your life and not rely on another’s understanding for your wisdom. For if you do, of course, you have no wisdom. And you are open to manipulation, and this world, and our kind, as it is and as we are, are simply put, not to be trusted. How sad is that realisation? If a problem presents and we all see it and no one has a hidden motivation, we can solve the problem immediately. At least we can give every ounce of energy in one direction to do so, with immense energy, unified in action and this holds the most promise for a successful outcome. But if all have a hidden agenda, the outcome will be another one than a solution. It’s when one man is interested in one thing, another in another oppositional area, that our energies become divided, conflicted, even warring, and we lose all potential unified possibility. And we have always lived this way. In competitive measurement against each other, never seeing the potential or the value of our living together as one. When all is cared for, all is cared for. When only a few are cared for more than their needs, the result, is this world of sorrow, lack, confusion and suffering. No sane gardener floods a few trees in his garden and lets all others die of thirst. This, of course, kills the whole garden. This is our society today. And it will die, as the garden will die when so similarly treated. We need to look after us all. We have the resources this day to end the suffering of the poor. We can lay down arms and join hands as the brothers we were born to be. We can stop whispering in sealed rooms annually secret plans for our own benefits. We can start to serve the whole of humanity. Which is what we are. We can cease to value numbers as wealth, and begin to value more the actual life occupations we are engaged in. We can see health as less interested in numerical rewards and more in health. Music more interested in the beauty of the sound than status of celebrity. Politics more interested in people than in their political bulging back pockets. We can do this. We need only collectively see the danger of what we are doing this day. I blame no one, or I blame all. So, no bees in bonnets please, only mirroring in words daily nauseatingly transparently observable facts. For any man who has ability to look beyond any distorting image.. We can build homes where they are needed, feed those who need it, share equally, forget about travelling to Mars until Earth becomes a hospitable planet to live on for all. Forget about the obscene nonsensical tradition of title and illusory sense of superiority such nonsense brings to one man’s life over the lives of billions of others. No more secret societies, no more double talk double standards, and broken lives. Banks which look after our money, rather than steal it all. This is self interest, and we are all self interested. We could revolutionise this world in a single day. But first, we need revolutionise our lives. We, need change. We need to understand our inner image making and put down the divisive self interested images we are all holding in front of the view which lies behind them all, for this view, when unobstructed, is the same for us all, only the images are so very different. We live in images, we live in the past and the future, and ignore the source of all life, the present. What is. Within every one of us churns away day and night a little image producing factory, a little AI computer is constantly transforming our shared world, deep within our ‘educated’ brains, turning our shared view, our position of unity, the home of love and harmony, the land of peace, into divisive self-asserted translations we subsequently come to decipher the world through. Some of us hold Christian images in front of the world. Some Muslim. Some Jewish and others Hindu. Some American, some Russian, some European and some Asian. Some Rich, some Poor. Some Regal, some worthless. But we are all engaged in this destructive activity. I quote examples from the long list of 'educated' image based possibilities of likely billions of potential examples of that which is divisively destroying all our lives. Regardless of the accidental background dependant on the corner of the shared world we live in and the family born into, all hold images of remembered ‘self’. All look at the world shared, the same for all, through concepts learned, beliefs held, desires sought after and fears run away from. Our image of what we are differs, our consciousness is one. One big divided mess. This inner image factory, a process in memory, legacy of education, is perhaps at root a wrong turn in the evolution of humanity, encouraged by a few who have benefitted from this quirk of nature.
We have now so focussed the understanding of our lives in symbols, into the words of others and into the images they paint that we no longer even appear to have the capacity to travel one step of the one hundred miles for ourselves to ascertain the actual lay of the land, in any area for ourselves. It is this inability which has potential to end our race, if not so, to ensure we continue to collectively suffer for an eternity. As we have collectively suffered an eternity lasting thousands of years leading to this present day. We are on a life destructive loop. We need to change. We can change. We must change. We must be the change this world needs to see. We must come to find the ability to meet life as it is, free from conceptual divisive educated remembered traditional divisive 'self'. None of us is seeing life as it is, we are seeing life as we are and we are all fighting as we maintain it need be or wish it to be. All distorting life by the images we hold up which obscure our view of the shared universal life we all inhabit. All interested only in or own back yard and our own isolated lives, uninterested in the lives of others. To others, you, are an 'other'. You see the problem? Then act. Find out what it means to see life beyond the image. You may be surprised to at last come to see what you will inevitably find. Life, as it actually is, the same, for every one of us. BEYOND ALL GREAT RESETS'No one is caring for the whole. The word “whole”, etymologically, has very close relationship to the word “holy”. The word 'holy' points to a state of perfection, the utmost of all possibilities. According to the mythology of the Christian church, mankind lived a holy life, before the Garden of Eden episode, when he, (and she), ate from the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Jesus was a holy man. The word 'whole' is similar word to the word 'complete', and also to 'everything'. 'Whole', knows no divisions and lacks for nothing. 'Whole' has arrived. It has nowhere to go, the complete cannot be bettered. No need to 'build back better', when life is already complete, whole, and therefore, holy. The whole of life, is, well, the whole of life. It includes all living and all dying things. We do not care for the whole of life, do we? We care for our little corner of a vast field. We have been educated to this, we have been educated to value pride in our nation, pride in our traditionally accepted variety of what we have come to be led to accept as religion. We have been educated most of all, to place the utmost of value and concern in our 'selves'. To make something of our lives, to become something, to achieve, to succeed, to gather to power, to grow, and to continue doing the same. Our lives are a continuity, and every continuity needs a past from which it continues from and a future, to continue into. Everyone is doing this. You, are most likely in some way doing this. Watch your thinking, is it not centred around an inner concept of what you are? Which is what you know you are? As the known is always in the past, this is what you have been. Do you not desire what is considered would bring greater pleasure to your life? Do you not fear the loss of pleasure, the loss of someone, the loss of a possession, the ultimate loss, the loss of your life itself? Our lives are lived as programmed to live during school years which indoctrinate our minds to the psychological mechanical approach we all subsequently in obedience use to meet life. All, centred around 'me'. And 'me' is a continuity, and a continuity, is from the past. In school years, we are applauded for the questionable ability to successfully and accurately remember and recall the most we can regarding the most unnecessary information relative to life. This comes to be seen as a sign of intelligence, which, if you stop to question outside of accepted societal values, which are of no value at all, you will come to see is rather laughable. Were the consequences not so serious to our lives. Memory is subsequently held in higher esteem than the ability to perceive. And we are trained, like monkeys are trained, to live and spend our days in memory. The inner action of thinking, is movement within memory. And this, is a large part of what is gone wrong with our world. Perhaps, the root of all others. Perception is to meet life through the senses. Memory is to remember the past. The senses are what meets life as it is. Memory remembers life as it was. The eyes, the ears, a sense of smell, touch and taste are the organs of the senses which perceive the world around us. Thought, is the mechanism of memory which remembers the world before us as it was. It is greatly the result of this corrupting education that we compulsively think morning to night and even during the night. Our brains were locked into a perpetual habit of living within memory, thanks to twelve plus years of enforced ‘education’ when our every day was spent doing exactly that. Memorising. Remembering and regurgitation what we have been requested to retain. What is repeated over and over again becomes habitual, automatic in nature and this process of memorisation has become automatic and habitual to our race. The human brain, led into this from the earliest of years, now finds security in living in the past. The past is what is known and remembered. Knowledge. Knowledge is stored in our brain cells and the movement of thinking every human being engages within is an automatically running process legacy of life corrupting school years. We live in the past, we find security living in the past and our ability to meet the present moment as it is has relatively greatly dimmed. We are much more aware of the past than we are connected to the present moment, through our senses. Much more interested in the past and a projected future than we are what manifests in front of our eyes. And so we no longer meet nor live life as it is, we live life as it was, and as we wish it to be. This process divides us all, as no one has the same past recorded memories. This educated process is highly injurious to life, both on an individual level, as well as collectively, to our race as a whole. We have always lived this way. We have always valued what we know as being the most intelligent way to look at life. It simply is not so. This, is collective insanity. Living this way divides our lives, one from the other. Divides nations. Divides religions, which is the greatest of ironies, for the word 'religion' etymologically meant to 'gather one’s energy to come to find the truth of life'. The truth of life is a living thing, met through the senses. Not a remembered thing, projected in continuity into a conceptual future. The original etymological meaning of the word 'religion', had nothing at all to do with belief. And the word 'holy' had nothing to do with a deity or a person. 'Holy' in its original meaning was ‘complete, whole’. And so this word pointed to an approach to life, holistic in nature, non divided, and so incompatible with a life approached through the past, through thinking, through self, which is always inherently divided in nature between us all, as no one possesses the same past recorded, from which arises divisive thinking. You can verify this information through your own study, which is always highly recommended. In fact, self questioning is the only possibility to awaken your own intelligence. I am not, and do not seek to be your authority. I am not an authority. The word 'authority' comes from the word 'author', the one who is the original source of the information. In life, you need be that source, if your life holds meaning, accepting the words of another without verification is to live a second hand life. And so never accept the words of anyone, particularly here, question to find out if what the words state is true. If you engage in such activity, you come to awaken your own critical thinking, you come to verify, (or not), what has been stated, and regardless of what has been said, you come to understand the truth of the issue for yourself. Your questioning leads you to the truth, never the words of another, no matter how wise or other-wise, that other may be. In the area of the awakening of human intelligence, which is greatly needed this day as our world falls to pieces through our very own collective activities lacking intelligence, lies the dawning realisation that of utmost importance is that we each come to our own understanding of what is true to life. Truth is the same quality for every one of us. What we believe, what we posit, what we blindly accept, what we idealise, postulate and accept is divisive in nature between us all. What is divisive between us, is not truth, which is the same for every man. What is divisive between us is the ground from which we conflict and war. Truth is of a similar nature to the word 'holy'. It is complete, it is total. It cannot be argued down by clever opinion, though many may attempt to do so. 'Truth', simply put, is what is. What I think about what is may be argued over, but what I think about anything, is not truth. Our world is in an abysmal state which has only gotten a lot worse since one group of very influential and powerful people decided to build it back better. The reason it is getting worse is that this group are not acting on perceived truth, they are acting on their thinking, which is their remembered past, which in nature is always a divisive element between the lives of themselves and all others. The human thinking conceptual self has been programmed to be highly self-interested, and self-interest is an incredible limitation when looking to successfully bring about a 'better' world for all men. 'Build back better' is a tragedy for the totality of humanity before it even began. It is rooted in total lack of understanding of the ways of an intelligent approach to life. We are not insulting anyone here; we are merely stating facts. If we travel down a wrong road towards a hoped for destination, it is beneficial to turn back, when and if time still permits the doing so. Our race has always lived this way, valuing knowledge, which is the past, as the guiding light to lead us into what we call a future. A perceived state of greater completion. We are aiming for this are we not? Whatever the divisive motivation leading our way, we are, are not, from our limited perspective on life, aiming for greater completion? Aiming to have arrived, aiming for perfection, aiming for something better than what presents us this day. And the tool we all use, in fact, the only tool available to us as we have been programmed to meet life, thanks to our prior brain corrupting education, is that of thinking, which is the utilisation of what I know, which is memory, which is the past. And so the future I seek to find greater perfection travelling towards becomes nothing other than a modified repetition of the past I seek to change. How could it be any other, when a bank of recordings, the seat of knowledge, the movement of thought, is what is leading the way and carving the path? Is this the reason our race has suffered 15,000 wars in the past 6,000 years of recorded history? It seems very likely, does it not? This tragedy has happened because we have been led to mechanise and unquestioningly automate the valuing of knowledge as a more noble discernment of our required actions in life than our organs of perception. Using knowledge, which is divisive between us all, as no one has the same past, no one has the same bank of inner experiences which automate their thinking minds, and this innate divisive quality of knowledge, has led to this deeply divisive, troubled, warring world. A child dies every five seconds on our planet of starvation. Many are concerned. But approaching life as we now do, each through divisive thought out seeking resolution, each divided in nature from the other, we spend our lives wasting all of our energies arguing over opinions about what is the best road to be taken to reach what we consider to be an improved future. And while we do so, a child continues to die every five seconds from starvation. Six million a year. A holocaust of only children, every single year. The men who consider themselves the most intelligent to be able to impact our world are the highest numbered among us, the men of what we have been educated to accept as wealth. These men form their organisations, foundations, discuss and formulate plans to bring to rights all which has so transparently gone wrong in our lives and our world. And as the actions of their deliberations are departed upon from the initial inward activity of their thinking, they are moving in a sense of time towards a more perfected future, which is known to them, as is made manifest from their inner knowledge and arising plans, and so can only be a modified continuity of the past. If I know where I am going, I must have been there before, so the future projected is never new, and we remain living in a world of never ending conflict, pain, suffering and wars. The actions taken to resolve the problems, create more problems to add to those sought to solve. The above Nazi poster states “Alles Sal Reg Kom” - “Everything will come right”. This is the promise of every politician, of every man of any influence in any guise. The promise of democracy, communism and every global belief based religion. This is the automated programmed state of the human mind. The promise of the World Economic Forum today, the promise of the World Health Organisation, Bill Gates, and others of shared futuristic plans. Just, come to see it our way. But ‘our way' is a limitation. Rooted in self-interest, founded on past memories, and so limited and divisive between us all. As far from caring for the whole as could be. As far from ‘holy’ as could ever be. It can never 'be right', for to 'be right' demands it is right now, we are 'making' it right, 'building back better' is not living well and as long as we are 'making it right', the implication, of course, is that it is continuing to not be right. So, building back better, is the denial of living well now. Where is life found? In an ideological future, or here and now? Can we never arrive in life, to enjoy life, without needing to forever travel into a projected imagined future to fix the problems we have ourselves created in a remembered past and endure the consequences of this day? Plan for a better future, build back better, great reset. But the sad fact of this ever repetitive mistake our race has perpetually made is this. If all is not well this day, all will never be well in the future, for the future is a continuity of this day. It's this very moment we need to work to get right, and the only time for action is now. It is this moment and the only time we need to impact well is now. If we ignore this moment in favour of following an ideology of a better future, which is only a concept, our world goes to hell. We cannot and never will be able to build a good world in a projected future from anyone’s limited self-interested driven desires born from a limited bank of their past experiences. As is happening today, as has happened so many times previously. This movement has never brought our race to anything than greater suffering, and never will. We will never have a good world, until we have a good world. We will never have a good world until the whole of the world is adequately cared for and looked after. The world is met this day, not in a future. It is here, it is now we need to act, which is impossible if we have already occupied all our resources in working towards some imagined conception. We can never achieve such a desired state as a world of harmony and peace, well ordered, through planned thinking. For thinking is self-interested, and so self-limited, and limited to its past remembered experiences seeking to provide a future solution, which is limited to a continuity of its own nature, which is divisive between us all. And so not caring for the whole. And so un-holy. We perceive the whole of life not through thinking, but through our senses. It is here we find the capacity to meet where and when we are. And it is here we need learn to act. We cannot act here and now burdened as we are by the past, burdened by being engaged by the promising imagery of a projected future, burdened by the damaging limitations of the mechanical existence we are all living within, instilled within our brains by what passed as ‘education’, which has been so damaging to our lives. We must end this damaging educated approach to even meet the ability of being fully awake where and when we are. Where and when we have always been, where and when we will always be, yet have never fully come to appreciate the beauty of, the majesty of, the infinity of, the completeness of, the actual quality of the actual life and death of our existence, so full of our remembered pasts and so desirous for our isolated futures have we forever been incessantly occupied. Forever we will be so occupied, until we come to comprehensively understand this most pressing of all human problems. And our world will crumble before our eyes. Thought has its place in life. Memory has its place. Knowledge has its place. To drive a car, to remember my name, to speak a language, to find my way home. There are countless daily arising needs for memory, for knowledge, for the continuity of information from a past remembered. Where it has no place is in leading our lives, ether individually or collectively. This, is the greatest of our great insanities. If the past carves out the future, the future is a continuity, modified, of that past. 15,000 wars in 6,000 years bears witness to our ongoing collective insanity as a race. The Great Reset of today, is a continuity of this insanity. If you have listened so far, and if you yourself see something behind these words written and if you are passionately interested in bringing into existence a new world then the task is surely this, is it not? To understand the complex machinery of thought and put it in it's right place. Not to end it, not to control it, not to run away from it, not to suppress it, not to seek to give any direction to it. Positive, or negative. Certainly, out-with of where necessary, not to act on it. But to come to understand it. And bring it to its correct place in life. To understand anything, I cannot already know it. I must look at it with an inquisitive mind. Look at it anew. With interest, with patience. I must allow it to tell me it's story. I must expose this inner educated mechanism educated, the past and the future, every fear, guilt, disappointment, sense of pride or accomplishment. Every depression, fear, anxiety, inner conflict, desire and search for pleasure. I must watch worry and depression. I must become familiar with every inner movement from which my life actions arise. I must watch moment by moment my inner ‘nature’. Without choice. I must cry when I feel like crying, I must enter darkness without seeking light, I must allow despair to arise, without seeking resolution. I must look into every dark hidden corner. I must meet what I would rather run way from. I must become intimate with fear and desire alike. My only business is to see the true total nature of what I call my inner ‘self’. As it is, not as I would wish it to be, or as I think it should be. Of course, what is being asked is highly arduous and a difficult task to undertake. Perhaps, not for the faint hearted. I must seek nothing, this is a process of revelation, not of seeking a future goal. There is nothing to achieve, thought, is being allowed to see it's own and every movement. The brain is begin exposed to it's own psychological inner nature of educated and gathered 'self'. If I am passionate in this task and see the necessity, if I see that only a different mind than we now possess can build a different world, then I will understand the need for such activity. The very seeing of this fact, will lead me into the required activity. My watching without choice of my inner programmed nature reveals the workings of my inner programmed nature to myself. Thought, becomes aware of its own activities, which are the divided activities tearing this world to pieces. No one is to be blamed, and no one is blameless. We are all in this mess together and we are all responsible for the world as it is.
The world as it is, is a reflection of our complex and divided, fearful and pleasure seeking inner state. As I watch, as this mechanistic process is revealed, an understanding of what is being patiently observed comes into being. Naturally so. This is the dawning of a different kind of intelligence to the limited version offered by thought. It is this intelligence which has potential to truly change your life, to awaken intelligence, to awaken perception and in so doing, to truly begin to change this world. In a manner a thousand Great Resets never will. To bring action to where it is needed, not to act for a future self satisfying divisive reward. When the whole of the brain's conditioned activities have been seen, the whole of the brains conditioned activities have been seen, and may come to be understood. This cannot be accomplished by anything other than watching in absolute silence. Allowing thought to flower, and that which is allowed to flower, grows and dies. This is an art which need be learned, the art of observation. You cannot observe anything clearly if you are distracted from what you are observing. As long as you are trying to change what you are observing, you are distracted. You cannot listen completely to anything if you are inwardly occupied, for listening completely demands that you be completely silent. If you can learn the art of such complete observation which no man can lead you to, which you must come to find for yourself, which is an art, then you will inevitably come to find the ability to silently listen to the whole of the mind. And to the whole of life. You will come to perception. Your life given natural early childhood approach to meeting this world before a corrupting system of 'education' convinced you of otherwise. How every young child meets life. For unless you become as little children, you cannot know the kingdom of heaven. Unless you see the whole of life, which is to look from a position of silence, you cannot see life at all. You are blind to the truth of life as it actually presents. You are occupied, and life, is passing you by, unseen. And in seeing the whole of the mind, you will come to understand the whole of the mind and come into possession of the whole of the mind, the same mind this day fragmented into a thousand pieces by the gathering and continuity of knowledge. By the seeking of pleasure. By the gathering of more 'wealth' than you could ever spend. By placing concepts before the real. Seeking completion in a fabricated future which never arrives. Your life, will become whole. Your life, will be holy. For you will see the whole of oyur life as is is, not as you remember no long for it to be. And your mind will come to meet silence. And you will come to the vision of all as it is. There is no higher intelligence than this. Silence is needed to see the whole of life as it is. Now removed from self-interest, removed from 'bettering' that which needs to end, you will understand that the only effective action is immediate action. The only time is now and the only place to act, is where you are. Illusions shall crumble and fall. And your life may come to great meaning. To feed a child needs no ten year plans. It needs providing food for the child now. To act effectively in life, we need be removed from the chains and constraints of limited self-interest, which only ever have or will corrupt any possibility to meet life effectively as and where it is, here and now. As it is, when it is, where it is. HERE AND NOW. Your life will be changed. And this change will be the beginning of the change this world needs to meet. The bloody wars which have brought our lives to sorrow over centuries, can at last find their end. And 'Great Resets' can be confined to the pages of our history books as a particularly dark period of unenlightenment for the human race. Listen, and begin it now. There is not other time than this. Listen to everything. Come to your own self pursued understanding of your own life for and by yourself. This is find your own life intelligence. Judge nothing, seek nothing. Bring your life to perception. Let’s heal our lives, let’s heal this world. ONLY A FREE MIND WILL BUILD A FREE WORLDWe have been educated to live in time. Gathering knowledge in memory to pass school exams, is a movement of successive becoming in time. Repeating this same mundane task daily for years, programs the memory cells of the brain to this function. This movement becomes mechanistic and automatic to our lives. Ever tried to stop thinking? The structure of our society is identical to the structure of the programming laid down in our tentative years as we are being so conditioned. The teacher is replaced by a leader of some description, an authority in every field. Some countries have unquestionable 'supreme leaders'; abusers of the lives of millions who from birth are mechanised to obey and worship such 'leadership'. Others have politicians who feign to work for a 'free' people who vote them into power. But the people are never free, nor ever have been free, post education years, for freedom demands an unoccupied mind, which is a silent mind and a mind which has been programmed to living in time, to a process of becoming, is a mind of constant noise. An occupied mind is not free. In every area of life we are led, as we are led in our classroom years by a teacher. We are led to doctors for our ailments, to politicians for the ordering of our lives, to bosses for the direction the labour of all our days shall take and to priests, bishops, cardinals and Popes, of every description, for our understanding of what has been called a religious life. In every field, we are told how it is. And in every field, to now, we have obeyed. I say ‘to now’ for one can only speak up to the present moment to be accurate. Unless there is a change in our scholastic conditioning, unless we waken up to the danger to our lives this inner programming brings, both to our lives and to our race as a whole, unless we can break down the automated tracks within the brain carefully forged and placed in childhood, the future, will certainly be the same. A modified continuity of how we have always lived. In bloody conflict. In this way of living there is great psychological security. We need not question anything, for all is delivered on a platter. We need only accept. And we do accept, and we have accepted. For so many years we have accepted that freedom and justice lay at the end of a barrel of a gun. We accept that health lies in medications totally unnatural to our bodies. We have accepted gross disparities in the lives of human beings as a system of 'order'. It is right and just that a man be born to a certain position and come to inherit a full one sixth of this entire world’s land surface without having to lift a single finger as others toil and sweat their days away. Because from a very young age, authority tells us so. It is right and just that corporations take over nations and bribe politicians and deplete all resources, draining wealth of people naturally born on such afflicted lands. It is right and just in this world that a child dies every five seconds because its mother has no physical ability to access food as an unfathomable wealth is held in tax havens for the benefits of a few. Always for the benefits of a few. And the few decide upon the structure of the system of 'education' we are to accept for our children's lives. As they did, for our lives. For their benefit, of course. It is right and just that our pharmaceutical industries make billions daily in profits in the name of keeping us healthy, yet we are not, healthy. It is right and just that we believe in God, but that we hold not one shred of love in our hearts for our brothers and sisters, nor have any relationship whatsoever other than through words assured, that the God we are so believing in, even exists. It is right and just we live our lives in deep inner confusions, suffering anxieties, fears, depressions and inner pain. It is right and just that we take mind numbing tablets to deal with such issues. To maintain our mental ‘health’. We have a peculiar understanding of so many words. We are acceptors of the worlds around and inside us. We have been conditioned to be. We move with the flock, we go with the flow, we follow the pied piper, wherever he may go. We do so, because this is the safest way of living. The easiest way of living. It is however the way of living which has led our world and our lives to the inner and outer chaos we all live within this day. A chaos which has come to threaten the very continuity of our species. Are you interested in changing this world? Truly interested? Then you must get to the root of all of this inner and outer chaos. And you must remove the root and when you do, the symptoms will shrivel up and die, like a weed pulled by the roots from a garden. This is the only possible course of action which will bear a positive outcome. To attack the outer societal manifestations arising from divisive self interested thinking is only to hack at the branches and leaves of this abysmal situation we are all caught in. The problem, if we do so, will only grow back stronger. The difficulty is that the root of this problem which needs to shrivel and die is something we all now find great security and provides meaning, holding onto in life. Authority has provided us a with a certainty of the world around us. An understanding, which needs to shatter. We need to break the false, to find the true. Certainty needs to be broken into pieces and this process can be highly arduous, for the security we now find in life is unjustified, it is nothing we have found for and by ourselves to be true. Yet here, is where we find our unjustified shelter. We have taken the words of teachers in every field as gospel. We have accepted leaders in every area that order would follow established leadership, all we had to do, was listen, and obey. Others know best. Follow. The current condition of our world is ample enough evidence that the traditional system of leadership and led is inherently flawed. It has run it's course and transparently need be brought to end. If you need further evidence of this, then consider the past 15,000 wars over the past 6,000 years of our recorded history. Our very way of living, is our problem. This is what needs to change. Following a leader denies the awakening of one's own intelligence. You don’t need to ask questions, nor travel any distance to come to the understanding of any issue or any area for yourself. It is all served to you, on a supposedly palatable platter. An easy, though highly unsafe way of living. A road to inevitable manipulation by those in positions of authority. As has happened throughout history too many times to tell, as is happening today. One must learn the art of standing alone in life, which is to negate the unquestioned reliance on every authority. One must do this externally, in the physical world. But of far greater importance is the action of denying all inward authority. Inward authority manifests in our patterns of thinking, stored in the brain cells as knowledge provided and unquestioningly accepted at a young and impressionable age. We see the world through these accepted fed-into us conclusions. This forms the background of our thinking selves, the very root of what we consider ourselves to be. The fountain of our security. The 'me'. What 'I am'. An American, a Russian, A jew, a Palestinian, a Muslim, a Christian, left, right, centre, gay, straight, trans, rich, poor, titled. God exists. Christ was real and will return. Did I come upon such assertions through my own investigation, or were they instilled into my brain by an authority when I was very young in years and from which I now gain a certain security in life holding onto and valuing? How many dare to question such conceptual acceptances they this day gain a sense of security from holding in perpetual continuity? The doctor holds my health in prime concern. The government is there to order life for my benefit. Monarchy has a God given right to rule. I belong to a nation, and it is right and noble to feel a sense of pride in my nation. I am a name. I, am a thinker of thoughts. Life is a continuity and the value of it is found in becoming something, in continuous accumulation of knowledge and wealth, of possessing possessions I have no need for. In owning so much land I could never walk upon in the course of my lifetime and so much money I could never spend in a million lives. As many others starve. For all is measurement, and my life is valued in this comparative measurement against the lives of all others. And life is a competition, and all of this reflects the inner classroom structure I was mechanistically programmed into during my twelve plus years of mandatory schooling, during which the mechanised approach to my life was unknowingly being constructed in the memory cells of my brain. That the traditional societal authorities established before my life arrival may continue. Continue, in and as 'me'. 'Me, against 'you'. 'Me', more important than 'you'. But to 'you', I am 'you'. Do you see this problem? We were educated to this. Programmed to this. I exist as a mind divided between conscious and subconscious divisions. Death is the end of my life. Knowledge is related to intelligence. I must attach, identify and compete my way through life. No man is an island. But all men are individuals. The value of my life is measured in my isolated achievement in competition against another which is a form of subtle violence. Level of success, material gain, societal position is compared and valued against that held by another. And this is a well ordered structure of society and life, because authority assures us all it to be the case. I could go on and on and on and on and on. All of these examples and more provide a background of generally unquestioned knowledge recorded into the brain cells all of humanity lives within and yet the exact nature of this knowledge is divisive between us all. Dependant on location of birth, a man may grow to accept the security of the Muslim faith, or the Christian faith, the patriotic security of the American name, or the Russian name. We all find security in acceptance of the continuity of the identities we are raised to hold but as these identities are divisive, we come to conflict and war, which denies the actual security we seek to find by holding onto such learned traditional assurances. We accept the continuity of inner depressions; this is human, apparently. We accept that a doctor is there to go to help us if we suffer so from the many dark arising inner movements of an inner world we understand nothing of. Anxiety, stress, fear, worry, desires, the constant seeking of pleasure, the demand for more, the never ending interest in my ‘self’. And what is this ‘myself’ upon close observation, other than this inner complex mechanistic programmed movement of recorded knowledge and authority? It’s what makes us human. Apparently. So we have been told. Human nature. So we have never questioned. Knowledge is our conditioning. Knowledge is the movement of our thinking. We look at life through what we know, which is to look at life through thinking, which is to look at life through knowledge. Memories, educated into us and gathered in life by virtue of the knowledge gathering mechanistic activity of our brains programmed into us all during school years, as previously discussed. Can you look in silence at this inner hidden authority of the past within the brain cells, so destructive to life, which governs and decides your every life action? This is, after all, the root of our individual and collective problems, is it not? Do not take my word for this, to accept my authority is to be in the same place. To see life as a second hand human being. It is when we understand such important issues for ourselves, that our own intelligence begins to awaken. Everything, certainly including these words, need be questioned. Torn apart, and the truth or falseness of what is being said, seen for oneself. Either way, true or false, truth or lie, one comes to find the truth of the matter for oneself. And this is the only solid ground to stand on in life. The ground which the following of any and all authority denies. As every action a man takes is born from thinking, thought is the root area we need bring to revolution. Little benefit to remove all outer authority, while being slavishly daily driven by an inner authority previously placed there, mechanically operating in the name of security, while denying the security promised by doing so. Little point to hack at outer chains and ignore the more destructive inner chains which brought the outer into existence in the first place. Our thinking is what we need bring to revolution. If you can watch this inner incessant turmoil, fear and desire and pleasure driven inward nature of humanity, at times running fast like a mighty river, highly conflicted within itself, at times, slowly, more peaceful in nature, though always in motion, always moving. Always caught in time, from remembered past to projected desired or feared future. If you can watch without any interference, without seeking to change what you see, without any motivation or direction, then what you are watching, will begin to reveal its movements to you. And such perceived inner movements seen clearly, as they are, will begin to reveal the inner structure which is divisive between us all and the root of the problem of why mankind has never been able to build a society free from conflict. If you can sustain such observation, such intense awareness without choice, if you can stand it, then you will begin to understand what you are, which is what society has led you to be. Your own inward authority in life, conveniently mirroring the continuity of the divisive traditional established leaderships seeking their continuity which came before. You are the very continuity of the corrupt society which needs to change. We are our own enemy. The word ‘corruption’ etymologically meant to ‘break into pieces’, knowledge is a fragmentary process, it is never complete as there is always more to know and thought is reliant on past experiences which are always limited for its decision making daily actions. This limitation of thought divides us, and divisions have and continue to fuel every conflict and every war. The division of rich and poor this day, is of major concern. As is the division between NATO and Russia. Thought inevitably brings our lives to bondage and conflict inwardly and the society we build from the actions of thought eternally mirror our inner natures, as they do this day. As they have done through every sorrow filled step of our past history. This has built the society which we grow into which reflects the nature of our inner divisive traditional mechanised approaches to life. A different society is only possible to be built from a different mind.
Can you look at the tireless movement of what you call your 'inner nature', in complete silence, not interfering? Just to look, as you may look with interest at anything, the passing shapes of overhead clouds, (or these days, chemtrails). you cannot interfere with the clouds, (nor the chemtrails). Can you likewise not interfere with this inner movement you have been programmed to see as the root of your own being? Can you be passionate and patient in this observation, seeing the difficulty of it, yet remaining persistent in your passion to learn this art? This is an art. All art takes patience to master, the art of life takes the ultimate of patience. Understanding the importance of learning this art, understanding that this inner divisive movement has birthed our divisive society which has led us all to this unfortunate day? Do you see that the revolution needed is within us all? Society will change only when we change. And for this to happen, there can be no authority, there is no doctor, politician, teacher or priest to help. No politician, President, Prime Minister. No Great Reset. These are all contributors to the continuity of the chaos we need to end, for these are all acting in nature within the mechanised structure of their limited thinking and so are divisive activities in our world. And what divides us, brings us to sorrow, conflict and war. You, are the only hope for this world. We are alone in this mad world, with the task of observing the root of the movement which has manifested it all. But first, we must be absolutely clear that we see this to be the case. Our difficult task is to realise the possibility of bringing this mind so corrupted by divisive learned and gathered authority driven knowledge to complete revolution, that the human mind may meet the world anew and act from freedom, seeing all as it is, rather than through the distorting filtering of divisive past recordings. That we may meet the world from an inner silence, rather than from an inner constant occupation. The change needed is within us all. Without this, there is no other. If we ignore this task, our future will continue to be as our past has been. For thought is memory and memory, can only repeat. Only a free mind can build a free world. The responsibility for our lives lies where it has always been, with every one of us. The corrupting oversight of all authority, needs to end. DESIRE IS KILLING USWhat do you want in life? We have all been conditioned to live in desire, to grow, to achieve, to succeed. Some men want to live a life of peace, to find a corner to rest in and quietly raise a family. Some men want to travel to Mars. Others want this day to change our world and all our lives beyond all known prior recognition, regardless if the majority of us want that or not. To want something, is to desire something. What’s involved? What does it mean to desire? It means to seek to bring something present to life not present now, does it not? In a future incarnation. Not now, for if it was here now, there would be no need to desire it. I can only desire what I don’t have, but feel would be of benefit, having. Desires fuel war and the hugely profiting arms industry behind them. Desires fuel corrupt politicians. Desires fuel the World Economic Forum. Desire fuels the purchase of a bigger house, the getting into debt, the chasing of a woman by a man. Desire fuels the incessant drive for greater profits behind every large corporation, industry and government. Desire is the search for greater pleasure in life in a time other than now. When we get what we want, be it a woman, (or a man), a house, a Communist run world with me in the throne of dictator, a flight ticket to Mars, the next hundred billion or the down payment on a a rented home, the desire disappears. At least the desire for what has been achieved disappears, desire then goes looking elsewhere, does it not? If I get my bigger house, I want another, or I want two. Be nice to have one in the city for winter, one in the country for summer, perhaps. If I pay off my debts, I can afford new debts, to pleasure my life all the more with whatever I desire. If I get the woman, (or man), I have become fixated upon, In time I may come to compare her, (or him), to others. Perhaps I would be happier with her, with another - she is prettier, a better match, this girl bores me now, or does not stimulate me so much anymore. If I succeed in taking over the entire world, my desires will not end there. Such a situation can only provide feeling that I am the God sanctioned dictator of all, the controller of life itself, the creation which has surpassed even the creator and my ongoing desires and this can only make the lives of so many other miserable and fearful, as I force them to comply to the incessant never ending obedience to my projected desires. Look to China or North Korea for living examples. If I succeed in reaching Mars, I may consider getting beyond the solar system in entirety. Desire, is limitless and desire is endless. And that’s the way we function, it’s how we have been programmed to function. And that which knows no end, can never arrive. Can never be complete. Can never be whole. And the word whole, has deep etymological relationship to the word 'holy'. Desire is also what is tearing us all apart and destroying our lives and our world. We desire what we consider to be good and valuable, beautiful and rewarding, all desire is built on the pleasure principle. Pleasure is the seeking of something I have past experience of. One man may desire to reach Mars, he cannot desire to reach a planet so far from earth, to date it has been undetectable to our scientific instruments. So desire, has relationship to what is known. What is known, is always in the past. Knowledge, is the past. I cannot know the living moment of movement of life, I cannot know creation, it is in constant movement, changing, moment by moment. Neither can I know the future, which is unknowable in nature, though in the movement of desire, in my lust for greater pleasure, I may attempt to bring the future under my domination. I may conjure imaginary 'Great Resets', seek to reimagine all, and may successfully encourage many others to believe that my desire occupies the position of genius. For we all desire, and so we can all be led, join my desire, you will find pleasurable position there. A promise, is never a present fulfilment. The present is real and true, the future, is only always an idea. Is desire the appropriate tool to bring into being a balanced, sane, fair life and world? Or is desire the very antithesis of this? Let’s look closer. Does desire lead us to the heaven it eternally promises? Or the hell we, as a race, have and continually live under? Desire is related to what I know. If I never met a girl, (or boy), I cannot desire their company, sexual or otherwise. So desire is related to my past experiences. My past experiences are limited in nature, as I cannot experience all. I also have a different set of recorded past experiences to yours. No one, shares the same past. If my life is built on a progression of desires, I therefore am living a life completely separate from yours. And my life, is never complete. I am on a train track towards my desired goals, you are on a track to yours, and we can never meet in complete relationship, where and when we find our lives to be. Here, and now, where we always are and where we always will be. We can never meet - other than superficially. And we come to use each other, if we consider another can help to fulfil our own desires, we use each other. Every business is built on this premise. No worker is paid what value he truly brings to the company, the company benefits the most, the worker achieves the sustenance for his or her life, (usually as little as the company can get away with paying), which of course, is all based on desire. Desire is the driving force of all our lives. And desire is divisive element between us and focusses our energies on our own isolated life position and removes our attention from where we are. Where we are going, becomes the most important and dominating factor of our lives. Desire brings fear to life, I may not get what I desire, and if I do, another may take it from me. Including my life itself, if that intrudes upon the envisioned desire of another. We have all been programmed to this. School did this to us. School led our brains into a pattern of living in the past (memorising), and seeking a better future by building on a continuity of that past. (Passing future exams). All this steeped in the classroom atmosphere of competition, which is a subtle form of violence, and self interest and self focus, which is to diminish interest in the lives of others. Obeying the authority figure of a teacher figure. See a recurring life pattern here? Is there not another way of living? If not, our lives are hardly worth living. Our lives are a living hell. We will ultimately, as we have been countless times, come to be dominated in the shadow of some man’s unlimited desires, thinking himself genius, commanding obedience to all his desires. In opposition to yours or your life itself. Forced to eat what we have no taste for, forced to live where and how we have no desire to, forced to medicate when we have no need to, forced to breathe in chemicals falling from the sky, sprayed onto our foods, forced to endure wars and lose connection with our loved ones, forced to accept the meaning of the word 'religion' without any first hand investigation and so understanding of our own, forced to accept truths as lies and lies as truths. For a truth repeated without understanding, becomes a lie. All chaos in our lives appears to arrive from competing desires. Desire, perhaps not such a pleasurable a thing after all? Desire, as previously mentioned, sees us all aiming for differing future states, and so divides humanity in thought and action. Desire is founded on past experiences, and so the future can only become a modified continuity of what I have previously experienced and a continuity of divisions between us all, which leads us to war.
Desire never completes, once a desire is captured, desire remains, and finds a new goal. Desire removes our vision from this present moment of life, as a driving energy in life and places it in a concept of a future. Desire is self-interest, and so highly limited in the interest of others. In this way, desire denies relationship and love between human beings. This has been how society has raised us, built from the desires of previous men who sought their own benefit to grow their own desires from a highly questionable 'education' system. John D. Rockefeller being one of those men. Is life to be found in the future which our desires leads us into? Is life in a continuity of a past remembered? Or is life only found now? Apparently we are this day building a better future, in a conceptual 'Great Reset' many influential and wealthy people have bought into. Somewhere, this is one man's or perhaps a few men's desires. Those holding the largest of desires. Is this truly the 'Nirvana', the ending of war, famine and petulance, it claims to be? How can it be? If life is now, then any planning to better life in a future incarnation of it which can only exist in a conceptual idea, is nothing other than an illusion, a hope, a desire. And so a continuity of division in the lives of men, a self interested movement arising from the past, and so completely uninterested in the lives of others. Leading to divisions, leading to war. A continuity of a world of thirty six trillion in tax havens as six million children die of starvation every year. I cannot act now to change this, for I am occupied. My future, my desires are more important than the manifest world in front of my eyes. I am consumed with my vision for my future divisive isolated life destroying 'Nirvana'. And my vision for my future Nirvana, destroys all potential for a present life of dignity for all of humanity this day. Desire is killing our lives. |
AuthorHello to all, I am a 60 year old man who has spent the best part of his life studying the teachings of J.Krishnamurti. My name is Henryk. I am rather unimportant, although what I talk about on these pages, has great importance. Particularly today, in this dark world, led by men of infinite wealth, unfortunately without the intelligence to match. My work here stands on the shoulders of that of J.Krishnamurti. Without this man's passion and great life understanding, this website would never have existed. His effect on my own life has been immeasurable. A man of infinite vision and wisdom, who spent over 60 years of his life travelling the world and discussing life and societal problems. Krishnamurti passed away in the 1980s. Anyone interested in the nature of discussion in the content of this site, will likely find great interest in the work of Krishnamurti. Hundreds of videos may be found on YouTube. There is a link above dedicated to his work to which new content is planned to be regularly added. The beauty of truth in life, is that it is identical for each one of us. Truth is the place we all come to meet in unity. And truth belongs to no man. Only pointless opinions, divisive, traditional, educated into and gathered by us, may be claimed as ownership. The change in our world so desperately needed this day, is within us, not external to our lives. All man's actions begin in the area of human thinking, it is this needs understood and brought to revolution. Thanks for taking the time to visit, a few posts are being added to the site weekly at the moment, when I find time. If you would like to support the work here, you can do so from the price of a cup of coffee each month, contributors are invited to online discussions.
