GOOD & EVIL are ONE | Proof that you Can't Trust the Positive Feeling

We are trapped in a oneness of polarity, both within ourselves as the mind consciousness we’ve been cultivating as humanity over generations as well as in the outer world as the world systems we’ve been developing, accepting and allowing – all in the name of profit.

Profit itself is a polarity construct. For some to have profit, others must have loss.
Is it really so difficult to consider that there is another way?
Or is man so brainwashed with fear that only self-interest prevails at the cost of life itself?


Take the example of a rapist or any psychopath / sociopath for that matter (watch some episodes of Criminal Minds to get a real good idea on the psychology of a criminal profile.) The crime produces a positive experience within the criminal. But to ‘get there’, a negative act was necessary, for whatever reasons: to justify for an experience of lack or injustice the criminal experience within themselves, to take revenge or to balance-out an inferiority complex etc.

The motivation is the seeking /the desire /the pursuit of for instance revenge, justice, power. The idea of achieving that goal and getting that satisfaction is the positive charge that feeds the criminal mind. And the negative action as for instance rape, murder, bullying or any kind of abuse is the starting-point for the creation of the ‘positive’.


Or take the example of abusers that try and control you with fear, whereby they get a ‘positive’ boost from being able to abuse and give you a ‘negative’ experience, which makes them feel ‘more’, ‘stronger’, ‘powerful’. Isn’t this evidence that the positive feeling cannot be trusted?

Fascinatingly enough, the abuser, the bully will often use the same label to induce fear in another that was used by others to frighten them when they were kids for instance. So if someone calls you a faggot or a prick or fat-ass, you can be sure the word thy use is something that either has ‘hurt’ them (=their ego) before or a word they fear, or if someone was fat and was bullied about it and now they’ve lost the extra pounds, it could be they are gaining satisfaction as ‘positive’ charge through hitting you with the ‘negative’, in this case the label ‘fat-ass’.
So here the ‘negative’ action of calling you ‘fat-ass’ is creating the ‘positive’ feeling of satisfaction they’re getting through the comparison they draw in the mind. Now this may be an ‘innocent’ example, however the mechanics of how this works is the same in all cases of abuse and separation.

“The reason why the negative is so powerful, is that the negative is the creator of the positive. The positive is the charge and the negative is the action/starting-point of creation.”

So –
Let’s now look at this from the other side of the polarity more in depth. Let’s take the ‘positive’ example of a lightworker, a positive-thinker or a spiritual person. The creation of a lightworker, a positive-thinker or a spiritual person as a ‘positive’ point has its roots in the perception of for instance this world as ‘negative’.
The lightworker, the positive-thinker or the spiritual person did not look at this world and see it for what it is to understand why things are how they are and how everything within that functions. The lightworker, the positive-thinker or the spiritual person looked at the world and had a ‘negative’ judgment about it, which to deny / suppress / ignore one then uses concepts of ‘light and love’, ‘positive thinking’ or ‘spirituality’ to feel better about oneself, when in fact these ‘methods’ do not have any impact on the world as such, or even any impact really on the person itself other than perhaps making the person comfortably numb for a moment, until reality bashes in.

“See - in spite of being positive - one negative point will destroy all the positive effort.”

It's time to GET REAL – only so will we be able to bring forth REAL SOLUTIONS

2012 Forgive & Forget Anonymous

The year 2012 is said by many to be a year of change.
So perhaps the question is: How do we expect change to come forth?

Anonymous claim “We do not forgive. We do not forget.” This is the very nature of consciousness – the very state of mind – that manifests war in this world: by seeking revenge, by directing blame, hate, rage, by thinking in ‘us and them’, by looking for ‘justice’ within separation and power-games. All this is not allowing one to make the effort and really understand the nature of the system and how it came to be; how it continues to exist, what keeps it alive and how we are all responsible.

Here is an extraordinary interview that gives perspective on the nature of the world-system and sheds light onto the ‘how’ of our collective responsibility for What is Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSJOkR0YMCE


We are Destonians. We are not anonymous; on the contrary, we stand with our own names and dare to take-on the systems of our world. Because we realize responsibility for all and everything that is here.

Instead of revenge and power-games, rather we should all in fact FORGIVE and FORGET.
Why?
Because there is no way we will sort this world out through revenge, vengeance or the punishment. So much evil has occurred already and what we see is history merely repeating – no one is better than another in this world-system. We are ALL responsible, either through direct participation as cause, or through our acceptances and allowances as the effect of giving permission for things to exist as they do.
Within this whole CHAOS of cultural, religious, racial, political, ideological separation and dogmatism that exists and rules the hearts of men, there is only one way to get past this alive: Forgiveness.

Obviously forgiving others is not the point, since it is the actual tangible change that makes forgiveness real and meaningful. Forgiveness without change is useless. Therefore, each one can in essence only forgive oneself, since only self can change self for real.
Ultimately we will have to forgive each-other if we want to build a new world where we co-exist as life – and that is a point where an equality system will be of tremendous support: Forgiving all debt and establishing a new value-system based on the value of life will equalize everyone in freedom, rights, wealth and opportunities/choice in life. This is a big step that will take time and a certain process – but for now, each one can start forgiving self and changing self in a way that is of dignity and respect to life – to self, as all as one as equal.

When I say Forgive and Forget, it’s not that we ‘forget’ as you might think. But we can let go!
We do not ‘forget’ that which is real as ourselves because it’s Here. Everything is Here. Only that which has not been real – goes. It will either be LET GO of, willingly, in awareness, or it will crumble down in the end, just like the systems of the world currently.
We can Forgive and Forget the separation, the hate, the accepted ‘human nature’, the greed, the fear, the vengeance and blame. We can Forgive and Forget the power-games. We can Forgive and Forget the systems of enslavement that we’ve been allowing to govern, determine, define us – and we can create a system of life for life, taking into consideration every living thing on earth including the planet!

FORGET 2012 –
2012 is not gonna save anything: because every one will have to save themselves.

FORGIVE –
For-Give:  Give For Life.
Stop giving to the mind, the ghosts of the past, the fears and desires of a conditioned existence that is looping into implosion, self-destruction, the end.

Let’s make the end a New Beginning.
Make the decision to Stop.
Within this, we BECOME “the end” – and do not have to literally experience destruction and drive this existence into its doom.

The end is here. We are the end; and we are the Beginning.  Let’s start Here and Now, breathe, birth ourselves into Living, birth ourselves as Life. Let’s have LIFE on this planet, starting with ourselves and expanding into a new system that will restore dignity of life and enable mutual respect, self-expansion and real power as creators –
as Equals of Life.

Power-games of inferiority/superiority have proven to be unworthy and unsupportive for all – We can all agree that as living-beings that breathe on this planet we are equal. We require a CLEAN SLATE as humanity to start over in a new way of LIFE. This clean slate can only be achieved through self-realization, self-forgiveness, self-honesty and respect for life. This starts within each one individually – and collectively we can support every body in the process of self-realization through a new system of actual life-support.

Isms & Schisms | The Monopoly we Play and Pay with our Lives

The WEST has become the WASTE that piles up

The EAST has become the YEAST that sprawls

All of it is Everywhere

The world system is Oneness – the Oneness of polarity of ‘shepherds’ and ‘sheep’, 

a Oneness where no one cares about another

Self-preservation, self-interest, self-amputation

As Fear has become bigger than the life spark in every pulse

The system suffocates the pores of the Earth that see no ‘east’ or ‘west’, ‘north’ or ‘south’

No borders know the air, water and sun

No borders to the rotting smell of the human vanity

A Oneness without Equality is INSANITY

The high-era-key and the cap-it-all has been the Common of Communism

The obscenity of planned obsolescence the Plan of Capitalism

And all ISMS of this world have been Schisms

Dividing and Conquering

Possessing

Possessed

A vicious circle with seemingly no beginning and no end

All Isms submerged to the One supreme creation of Man-not-Kind:

MONEY

Trapped in its own creation is the MAN-EYE  

The CON-Science of SeeEvilEyeZation surfs on a path of Evil-lution and Ill-lumination

As men seek ‘godhood’ and ‘power’ through a monopoly of divide & conquer

The game of kings and queens

That everyone will cuss but secretly envy

Life seems to be a game on a bipolar chessboard

Not so for the children that die in pain while

Men reach for the light of the stars and devil may care for the darkness we leave behind

It seems impossible to find forgiveness

What are we doing, what have we done...

What we have done we can only undo one by one

Breath by breath step by step

In every HERE moment

Death is too late

Don’t isolate

Life

Live! Don’t be-Lie-ve

A moment never returns

And yet it does to catch you

For you to face YOU

The only grace

Face it

Embrace it

Stand Up

YOU are the ONE you’ve been waiting for

Join the FREEDOM BLOGS – Join the Destonians in this global movement of exposing the truth of this world that is ourselves; join the motion of giving Life back to Life: through a process of self-realization, self-honesty, self-responsibility and practical COMMON SENSE; and a new system where life is the value, a system of equality and oneness for actual life support, a system where we no longer accept or allow division, abuse, exploitation or fraud, a system that won’t feed off of life like the current consumerism trap.

Debt, scarcity, inflation, taxation – are but outflows of a fraud system where profit is placed before life. It is time to re-evaluate our existence and give LIFE the highest value, as it should be. We all breathe same air, we all require the same things to have a dignified life on this planet. We are able to will a newsystem into existence and care for all of life equally, and provide every body with the highest quality life on earth has ever seen.

When the starting-point of a technological system is “to produce technology that benefit all life, it is already a starting-point that creates superior technology. When the starting point is to build a product to be better than another product for profit ... the products do not combine what is best; they each have one aspect that compete with another aspect and both products/technologies are inferior and incomplete due to patents and copyrights. These things will no longer hamper the development of superior technology in an equality system.” – Bernard Poolman

Investigate the proposal of an equal money system – a path out of money and into life, out of survival and into living; for all, equally and as one.

We only have ONE PLANET. 

There is no Plan B.

"Let Go, Let God" – The New Age of Stupid

I was walking down the street in Berlin when a poster on the gates of a church caught my attention: “Let Go – Let God” I read. I went on to ‘translate’ this ‘christian’ calling into common sense language and realized we are asked to let go and give ourselves to god, as if god is gonna ‘do it for us’. What does that actually imply?

It implies abdicating the responsibility for who we are within ourselves and our world to the invisible hand of god who will wash away our sins and ‘forgive’ us. It implies we should not consider self-forgiveness, self-change, self-direction, but instead we are asked to give it all away and remain hoping, praying, waiting; We should not become the masters of our own life/self, we should not correct our own mistakes and make sure our living-application harms no other part of life, we should not question our contribution to the world/society, but instead we are asked to give up on life/ creation/ ourselves and give it all away to an all-mighty entity (which after all we’ve created/create ourselves) as if we could escape the consequences of our thoughts, words and deeds and avoid being held accountable for who we are/have become and how we co-exist in the face of life.

Notice that also the new age movements and belief-systems, just like any religion, focus on the ‘unseen’, the ‘hereafter’, the ‘mysterious’, the ‘glory’ that is to be attained – while one is so distracted, so self-absorbed within the path of enlightened self-interest that one cannot truly care for one’s actual environment, the world, this creation and the legacy we leave behind. After all, “something 'bigger' than us must be responsible, why should we take any responsibility...”

New age / religion disregard and ignore most of the actual reality of ourselves/this world – as the function of belief-systems is to ‘relieve’ us from full responsibility, while we deny our equality with the actuality of existence: we deny responsibility for who we have become and how we exist with all that is here.

But superimposing a ‘higher self’ or ‘light & love’ is not gonna make the suppression within and the atrocity without go away, nor will it feed a child; it will only get a person into a "beautiful" bubble of self-delusion for a while, until something must happen from the outside as reality knocks on one's door.

One cannot be HERE, one can have no power, no self-directive while one is busy getting ‘There’, getting ‘somewhere’ – when in fact one is only getting lost in projections and the alternate realities of ego that separate us from the world as all that is here.

Best to wake up, the matrix is real, and the way out cannot be walked through projection or faith or the creation of alternate ‘states of mind’. 

It must be walked in real-time, breath by breath, facing reality here in every moment; it must be walked through a self-willed process of understanding how this manifested reality/existence including ourselves in all our 'shades' came to be - because to be able to re-create and manifest a new world, a new existence, we must first understand creation from the actual, physical perspective in all its dimensions, starting with ‘what is here’ as ourselves and the world we face in every moment.

The key to self-perfection / self-fulfilment / self-mastery: 

is SELF-RESPONSIBILITY.

Self-responsibility implies that we once and for all stop projecting blame, fear, hopes unto others/something separate from self; Stop giving our power away to belief-systems and ‘saviours’, ‘martyrs’ and ‘scapegoats’; Stop all the things that divide and conquer us; and start seeing/investigating/realizing how we have participated in the creation of ourselves, our relationships and the world as we know it; Start realizing that we are the building-blocks of this world, and this world is following patterns that are unacceptable, patterns that allow the separation, abuse and exploitation of life.

It has never been more obvious that: if we want to change what ‘life’ is, if we want to change this world, we have to change ourselves and how we co-exist.

‎

“The point of self-forgiveness is to realize that all will have to give up on revenge if we want to change the future of the planet.”   

- Bernard Poolman

I had gone through a ‘spiritual’ journey of searching for ‘enlightenment’ myself: seeking for something to ‘relieve’ me from the burdens I was carrying – that was myself and the beliefs and definitions I had accepted/adopted/created about myself and this world, while I existed in fear, blame and spitefulness. I was looking for something or someone to ‘save me’, to give me what I thought I wasn’t able to give to myself. I wasn’t realizing that I was only searching for myself, waiting for myself, longing for myself to wake up, stand up, live.

Until I came across a group of people that have had enough of this world as we know it and the lies and deception we are being fed through the systems of this world, including religion/new age/spirituality; people that started realizing that self-empowerment comes through equality and oneness, not suppression, denial, projection; that we have to open up and de-construct the layers of self-deception, self-dishonesty, manipulation we’ve existed within as moving-pictures in this world, and lift the veils of deception that are cast upon us through the systems of profit, power and greed.

And so I started to question the ‘ways of the world’, to write, to explore self-honesty and to investigate how I came to be who I have become; how I was creating my world and my relationships; what I was giving permission for and allowing in existence through my own acceptances on a personal level - and I realized how brainwashed we all are through a system of debt, sin and a fake morality based on fear of life, fear of each-other, fear of self-empowerment, fear of god/devil/punishment, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of commitment, fear of self-responsibility.

I saw that it is ludicrous to focus on any ‘afterlife’ when we haven’t even mastered the simple 1+1 equations of this physical reality.

We are Earthlings. And as such, our responsibility is Here, with this Earth, this One reality we share. Why can we not have Equal opportunities in life, why not live as equals of life! Why do we keep history repeating, why do we follow the fate of the ill will of man? And why not do everything in our power to bring-forth actual change and create a new Desteni, for life, for ourselves – for all!

I saw that what we want to have, we must give, bring-forth, live it into beingness.

“Work is love made visible”, wrote Khalil Gibran, and that is one of the practical values/meaning I discovered for myself through this ‘movement’ that started with a bunch of people having had enough of the fuck-ups we allow in ourselves and the world; this movement that has expanded to an extent that it embrace the whole world and considers/introduces actual, physical, practical solutions for ALL that is Here. 

Looking at ‘what is here’, we see a world system where ‘goodness’ is bought through money while half the world is left to starve; A system that tells you how to be, what to do to fit-in, what to want, what to fear - and we literally and inevitably BUY into it, as everyone else is existing in this survival-mode where ‘making a living’ is seemingly only possible through competition against others, where survival is only possible through deception, manipulation and abuse; A system that does not feed life, but feeds off of life; A system based on the value of profit, full of prophets that profess all kinds of ‘jackpots’, and corporations that hide behind charity just to make it all seem ‘better’ - while it’s all about self-interest, greed and the race for power. And fascinatingly enough, behind the ‘Human Race’ it is Fear that rules the hearts of men. 

Fear is the foundation of self-interest; Fear is the mind-control that works from the inside-out and produces the ill will of ego and the bipolar condition we have accepted and call ‘life’.

And while everything around us is making promises of ‘salvation’, ‘personal growth’ and ‘more power’ for the individual - politics, religion, science, medicine, you name it – it is in fact Money that defines power, it is Money that makes the decisions, it is Money that dictates who lives and who dies. Money is the real god in this existence, and that is not without our participation, the participation of each and every single one of us in every moment of breath.

So – next time you think to yourself “Let Go – Let God”, think again:

Do you really wanna abdicate life/yourself/the world to the hands of this monster we have created? 

Do you really wanna let Money define Life and determine Living? 

Or would you Stand-Up for Life, for a new, self-willed existence where Life is the power, the truth and the way – an existence where all beings are empowered to explore life in equality and freedom and dis-cover what actual Living can be, without fear! 

No gods, no masters, no slaves.

The value of life is LIFE.

Why accept anything less? 

Why not give Life to ourselves – and everybody else equALLy!

This is the Equal Money System – a new paradigm through which we can give the value of life back to life and also  to the systems we want to manage ourselves with; 
a new system that feeds life instead of feeding off of life; a system based on oneness and equality of life. 

Be part of the solution, then you don’t have to wait for ‘god’ or a ‘savior’ or an ‘afterlife’ (all of which is in fact waiting for yourself) – but rather Will yourself to be the change you wanna see in the world, through self-directive action, Here & Now! Make your voice count.

P.S. And should you meet  ‘god’ when you cross-over, you can be certain ‘god’ will be satisfied that you have acted in his image and likeness and have stood-up to do what is best for all without fear and in spite of adverse circumstances.

Beautiful People are born from Ugliness | Really? Do we need War to birth Peace?

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity and understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen”  - Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

So what is implied here is that struggle and abuse is required in order to cultivate strength of character – instead of realizing the simple principle of character as principle: principles that are based on common sense, the value of life and the self-clarity or should we say sanity to not accept or allow abuse NO MATTER WHAT.
It is an indication of EGO wanting to justify struggle, pain, abuse in this world with the concept that THAT is what makes people beautiful, strong, better. It is saying that good can only exist through polarity. What is then the point of the endless war between good and bad? Can anyone ever really win? Or is the whole point damned to eternal re-cycling, with only some feeling BETTER about themselves for a moment, the moment they can say or think “hey what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”.
Victims of rape, abuse, violence may occasionally stand up and speak out and be strong – but what about the thousands or millions of silent victims that never share their story, that grow up to turn the tables ad be abusers just for the sake of balancing out the equation.

Do you need hurt to find compassion?
Do you need struggle to find peace?
Do you need violence to find gentleness?
Do you need loss to find fulfilment?
If this has been ‘your way’ then the best thing to do is understand that the world that allows fur this kind of bipolar conditions: is the consequence of the system we have accepted to run our lives, our world; it is the effect of our cause, equal and one; a reflection of who we are and how we co-exist.

To defend this polarity and USE it to justify one's belief-systems and validate violence, abuse and the exploitation of life as something that is “part of life” and a “lesson to learn” that “makes you stronger” because that is how you can feel better about yourself or because that is the only way you believe those in struggle find their strength – is ludicrous, is selfish, is EGO, is INSANE.


Let's have a closer look at what it is that is actually being cultivated through such belief-system:

the establishment of injustice and inequality as “just how things are”; the excuse for using blame, projection and pointing fingers at others without understanding how they as all of us have been created through this system of polarity where we are forced to struggle and compete against each-other to supposedly EARN the right to life, to supposedly WIN the race, the human race that is a nazi against itself.

What is being cultivated is the need for and the apparent ‘normality’ of finding 'justice' through separation, through self-gratification, through vengeance, through polarization. Instead of realizing that there can be no justice in this current system/world as we know it: we require a total-new structure to support life in this world, and to do that we have to start thinking OUTSIDE THE BOX we have created/accepted/allowed - OUTSIDE the 'rules' and 'laws' we conduct our existence by. We have to stop fighting for our limitations.


The statement quoted further implies that pain, struggle, loss: is the only way to find understanding, depth, appreciation, beauty.
Existing within such a belief-system, what are the consequences?

One will justify abuse; one will justify suffering; one will continue to create religions and hierarchies; one will continue to create ‘heroes’ and ‘martyrs’, placing them on pedestals, making more people wanna be like them...
One will continue to allow atrocity in this world and call it 'learning lessons' despite no one ever learning anything (because obviously nothing is changing and history is only repeating); one will create ‘martyrdom’ as ‘purpose’, as way of life, in fact as a way to be ‘special’ and ‘gain’ appreciation and some ‘self-worth’...

Is all that not selfish? Is that all in fact not a self-imposed depreciation of oneself as life, a depreciation of life itself!

Such belief-system is clearly a false view of reality based in the self-deception of EGO; painting a beautiful picture to not see the abuse we are existing in, to not have to take responsibility for the atrocity we allow in this world, to not have to wake-up from our denial and stand-up to STOP.

Wake Up and Change the Desteni of Mankind!

Self-Forgiveness to Exorcise the Habits that Inhabit us

Self-forgiveness is a system, a method, a tool to unfold and uncover the systems, patterns, habits one has become; the habits that inhabit us and take over once the trigger is pulled – a word, an image, a smell is enough to press ‘enter’ and the program runs: the human race.

Self-Forgiveness will Exorcise the Habits that Inhabit us; but then we gotta make sure they don't come back.

How do we become ‘who we are’? How come we be-come?

Self-forgiveness is like walking backwards untying the knots/nots one has tied oneself in while wandering/wondering on the thread of ‘life’.

Self-forgiveness is the unfolding of that thread to see How one is knitted, How one be-came.

Man Know Thyself.

Within this, self-honesty emerges – and yet some self-honesty, the willingness to see/face truth/oneself, is required to dare walk this path to begin with...

‘Fascinating’.

No self-forgiveness without self-honesty, and no self-honesty without self-forgiveness.

The more we allow ourselves to See, the more we place ourselves in a position to ‘get a grip’ of it all/of ourselves and determine what we will accept and allow and what not; the more we are able to take self-directive principle and determine ‘who we are’, instead of just following the program and what comes-up to drive us.

To See, however, we need to remove the veils – let go of that which we think we know; let go of that which we like to believe about ourselves, that which we justify the world with, that which we use to make excuses for our fear/’inferiority’ while projecting some ‘superior’ image of ourselves, as we cower and hide and blame others, instead of standing-up for life in self-responsibility.

by Anna Brix Thomsen

Actual self-forgiveness as life comes once we start fathoming the ‘effect’ our ‘cause’ has been having on the whole of life and this world as one; once we start seeing and realizing what it is we have been stand for and perpetuating in this world through all that which we have allowed ourselves to be equal to in our ‘inner realms’.

Seeing eye to eye, in self-honesty, we cannot but humble ourselves. Then – the choice: to either forever remain in negativity, self-anger, self-hate, self-judgment and spitefulness, OR to forgive oneself, let go, and move forward without looking back; to self-will a change that will purify, dignify and rectify self as life.

Through such self-willed ‘intervention’ (is that what ‘divine intervention’ actually is? lol) we start accumulating self-trust because we see and prove to ourselves that we are able to direct ourselves in every moment: we do not have to be victims of ‘circumstances’, we do not have to continue participating in the power-games we are educated with.

At school we learn to build ‘trust’ based in knowledge. Then we compete through knowledge and we even keep knowledge ‘secret’ to have an advantage against others! And that is how we’ve built this world.

Here we have the opportunity to build actual self-trust through ‘man know thyself’: placing ourselves in a position where we are able to determine ourselves in self-honesty and self-will; where we are able to actually move ourselves. This is self-power as life, as we stand-up through self-directive principle to live and walk as self-willed equals of life.

With self-honesty and common sense, we don’t need ‘knowledge & in-formation’ to in-form us of ‘who we are’ and how we are supposed to interact in this world. We can see where this has brought us and it is not a pretty picture. Instead, we can stand-up and in-form ourselves, and form a world that is best for all.

We are going to have to learn to trust each-other and live with each-other. This is a co-existence and no ma is an island. What we cause has an effect and all and everything that is here.

Looking again at the tool of/as self-forgiveness, we can see that: even though we are able to ‘explain’ and present and share self-forgiveness as a method, a system to work with to get to self-realization about who we are (Man Know Thyself) – actual self-forgiveness is something each one must live and discover for self, as self.

Similar it is with self-honesty; it is easier to ‘explain’/share/present what self-honesty is Not, lol. Self-honesty however is something that must be self-realized.

Self-realization, too, can be a process of self-discovery, self-introspection, self-reflection and understanding of How we got to be who/where we are today and How all the experiences and mental/emotional patterns of self were created --- but then to realize self beyond that, to make self real as life beyond conditioned stimulus-response patterns: is another story that can only be self-realized through self-actualization: real-living, real-I, real-time, breath by breath, in every moment.

That’s why it was/is suggested that we walk this process in every breath, one breath at a time, one point at a time, until it’s done. Patience is required - not the easiest of virtues, lol. But is there another way?

Trapped in time, created through time, we must work with time to re-create ourselves in dignity and respect, in a way that we can live with ourselves without regret, without shame; and in a way we can live with each-other without harm, without spite, without secrets.

We are going for it – facing the inevitable that is ourselves.

by Bastian Neumann

“Self honesty takes TIME as you are a creature of TIME and you must understand how you have CREATED yourself through TIME. Once you grasp TIME and how that can be manipulated, you will realize the importance of being in TIME and on TIME, directing time as the TIMEKEEPER called BREATH until all time can be trusted to serve only LIFE. When this is done – we will have ETERNAL time as no matter who will be born where, it will be into heaven here on EARTH” – Bernard Poolman

On Power and Illusion - Where is Life?

....
On Power and Illusion - Where is Life? 

ART by Marlen Vargas Del Razo

When a person looks at others and the world in terms of 'power', any perceived 'power' will be seen as a 'threat' - this is only showing that a person is obsessed by ideas of 'power' and has trapped itself within the polarity construct of 'superiority'-'inferiority'.

This can also been seen as the polarity construct of 'fear' & the 'desire for power'.

Clearly, this is not the 'realm' within and as which life is here. 

Life is life - life is equal. life not about 'power'. 

So the question for self to ask self is:

what am I fearing?

what do I fear losing?

what do I perceive as power?

what am I fighting for?

what would mean to 'win'?

what would mean to 'lose'?

Already through posing these questions, a person that has worked with the tools of self-honesty is able to see: none of that is real.

So the next question would be:

Why am I preoccupying myself fighting against invisible enemies like Don Quixote - instead of grounding myself here with what is real; instead of working on discovering what it is that actually matters, here, in/as this one reality we all share.

Many 'expressions' in/of this world are unacceptable: rape, mutilation, animals skinned alive, and the list is long. Much of the abuse going on in this world is accepted and allowed or even 'justified' on the grounds of 'free expression' or 'tradition' or 'honor' or 'religion', when in fact it is only about exerting power onto others to feel 'better', 'stronger', 'more', 'righteous'.

Clearly, real freedom as life cannot be the freedom to harm, cannot be the freedom to abuse.

Thus, people! Careful when one is (mis)using the mind to justify the 'right' to abuse and the 'right' to be 'free' of the 'group' that is life:

One is excluding oneself from life, excluding oneself from oneself as life; and if one does not snap-out of such a state of 'mind-possession' and self-realize what one is actually busy doing or demanding, self-realize what one has become and in humility self-forgive and direct oneself to change: one is in fact abdicating oneself, one is abdicating life.

At Desteni, 'self' is seen within a context. The context is life, as who we all really are.

When this 'context' is disregarded, the abuse and atrocity that results is unimaginable, as is evident in this world by far.

Within the context of life, life is the 'most', the 'highest' one can be.

To attempt to be 'more than' life only comes from ego and self-interest and is in essence self-delusion, self-abuse.

That is why we stand for individuality as self-willed equals. 

Equality is the key to life, it is the key to actual power.
