2012 Reasons for a Higher Purpose

Ever considered that you’re doing the ‘right’ thing for the WRONG reasons ???
Ever claimed you’re doing something for NO reason ???
Ever dared doing the ‘wrong’ thing for the RIGHT reasons ???
Ever realized that you’re reasoning away the actuality of reality ???

What is REASON?
Our reasons are always representing our starting-point, the beginning of a decision, a movement, a step we take.
Therefore, there is always a reason for doing something or moving toward a certain direction, even if that reason may not be in one’s conscious awareness.

Since the REASON is always the beginning, this implies that seeing, knowing and understanding the reason – the beginning, the starting-point – we are able to see and understand the end – the result, the outflow.
‘Beginning and end’ is equal to ‘cause and effect’.
What effect do we cause through who we are in every moment?
This is a reality of consequence.
Consequences are the outflows of who we are, the result we effect through the cause of our being.

Everything in this existence exists within and through relationships. Everything we do, every step has an outflow, a result, an impact – on the whole. That is how we are creating this reality, this existence, this world as we know it.
The abuser does not exist by itself – everything exists in relationships, and for that we are all responsible.
The system (as we’ve created/accepted/allowed it) creates the abuser: through the support of self-interest, competition and secrecy – constantly re-creating inequality, comparison, greed, despair. Who are the real criminals in the face of life? The one who steals food to survive or the white collar that works to maintain a system of separation in the name of profit?

The earth provides everything all, but man created a concept ‘scarcity’ and exploits what is here in the name of profit – all the while billions suffer.
The current system offers many distractions, resulting in the shifting of responsibility and blame. Such comments prove how easily people get distracted by ‘sensationalism’ and do not see the whole picture. Then one will quickly jump into conclusions about who is to blame, all the while one is accepting and giving permission for the system to exist as it does = in a way that supports/tolerates inequality and the exploitation of life.

Many people search for PURPOSE in life, and the current con system of consumerism and consumption is good at selling us a purpose you can buy into and follow, a purpose that will give us the feeling we’re ‘doing the right thing’ or ‘getting somewhere’, a feeling that we’re ‘important’, that we are ‘someone’, that we are ‘good’; all the while we are basically maintaining the world ‘as we know it’ and supporting the survival of a persona in self-interest – which is basically the system: where what we do is motivated by self-interest in the name of profit (whether profit is defined as actual money and riches or a ‘god’ and god’s grace or the ‘pursuit of happiness’ and ‘personal freedom’ – in any case we are in fact always enslaved to the whole system, and half the world suffers starvation and despair as a result of this survival system we all participate in day in day out.

When people make decisions about who they are and how they exist – whether consciously or unconsciously – they then tend to create the reasoning that ‘explains’ ‘why’ they do what they do, ‘why’ they are how they are. People reason about intellectually, in the mind, to not have to see the actual REASONS for this existence – the world as we know it – in the physical: this reality we all share.

When we however start investigating our actual reasons, the actual starting-point of everything we do, say, think, participate in and how this reality functions: we get to an understanding of ourselves and the world and what the relationships we entertain support or create or give permission for to exist here.

Every moment, every word, every deed – who we are and what we participate in – is a piece of the puzzle of the things to come. The problem within this is that we’ve been manifesting this world in ignorance, and then we claim that ignorance is ‘bliss’. We’ve been creating this world in unawareness, through our secret minds, our fears, our denials, our desires.

As a representation of the mind within, we have created without a metaphysical system – the current money system – through which we attempt to manage the actual physical reality; with atrocious results as we can see all around.

As we get to an understanding about the mechanics of this reality, and as we get to self-honesty about the REASONS of our existence, our behaviour, our decisions, our definitions of ourselves and the world: what emerges is the realization that we can free ourselves from the predetermined ‘fate’ we are born into and able to determine our ‘reasons’ in awareness; clear our starting-point, re-evaluate how we exist – re-define and re-form what we call ‘life’.

As we realize that every here moment forms the shape of the things to come, we can see that we can stop existing for purposes given to us by the system to keep the system alive while we abdicate our power and leave ourselves and this world to ‘fate’; and are able to LIVE HERE in every moment in awareness of our role in the context of the whole, which is LIFE.

What ‘Purpose’ is can be redefined: from a projected ‘feel good’-picture that serves the ego in disregard of the whole – to a practical living in self-determination of ‘who I am’ in every moment in the context of LIFE as Best for All, thus supporting and bringing forth the utmost potential for all life.

It is vital to UNDERSTAND life – and start LIVING ...instead of being literally driven by preordained and conditioned ideas about life.

Is there at all a RIGHT reason for ‘doing things’?
Looking at this question from a system perspective we see that ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ really doesn’t make much difference in the system, because what is ‘right’ for one is often ‘wrong’ for another, and within the system each one is encouraged to promote their ‘own’ beliefs, their ‘own’ truth, their ‘own’ philosophy about things. What is not seen is that in any case all of this serves the protection of one’s personal ‘pursuit of happiness’ and the ‘justification’ of the things we do in the name of self-interest.

Never is the Whole considered, never do we see all points or consider the outflows, the consequences and the practical implications our participation has for everything and everyone else – for that which we call ‘life’, for the existence we are creating /accepting /allowing on our planet.
Looking in self-honesty at this world, which is a reflection of who we are, we can definitely see that what we’re doing /accepting /allowing cannot be justified!

We, humanity, have no excuses for what we’re doing to ourselves and each-other.

From the perspective of life, there is no ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ – there is only ‘who we are’ and the consequences thereof.

As we come to an understanding of the ‘bigger picture’, as we get to the humbleness that comes with the insight of the atrocity of this existence and our individual involvement within it all, we can look at the point of ‘right reasons’ and ‘wrong reasons’ from a very simplistic, practical perspective, through which we are actually able to remove the systematic polarity definition of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ and place the question in the context of LIFE:

Within the context of life, ‘wrong’ would be all that which is an expression of self-dishonesty.
Self-dishonesty being our self-interest, our separation from life that based in the consciousness of fear and greed, comparison, jealousy, competition, fear of loss. In self-dishonesty we realize ourselves as systematic robots that function as conditioned happiness machines programmed to seek the jackpot whatever it takes while we are successfully distracted with bright shiny things to not see the whole picture and the role each one is actually playing within the Whole; to not see ourselves as creators and this existence as our creation – our responsibility.

Within the context of life, ‘right’ would be that which is an expression of self-honesty.
Self-honesty being the point where we see things for what they really are and face ourselves and everything we have created /accepted /allowed /given permission for to exist within ourselves and our world; realizing ourselves as life, as equal creations of the substance we all come from, the substance we all return to, and as creators of this existence on this one planet we all share. It is simple common sense that Best for All would be to live and apply our equality as life in the utmost potential and make it available to all equally in all ways; making sure that the systems we create to manage our ‘time’ between life and death – both on the small scale (our character, our relationships, our interactions in every moment) and on the bigger scale (our systems of education, administration, distribution of resources) – support ALL LIFE EQUALLY.

SELF-HONESTY is the ‘path’ – the Living Self Choice – of stopping the limitations we have accepted and allowed within and about ourselves and our world; removing the systematic controls that have us trapped in a bipolar consciousness that keeps history repeating; transforming the equations of inequality and enslavement into common sense solutions of dignity and self-empowerment in equality – so that we may be able to re-create ourselves and our existence, this world, in a way that support ourselves and each-other as LIFE.

2012 Happiness in Life

There have been throughout the history of mankind many paths to ‘happiness’ –
yet none of such paths has actually considered that we cannot create happiness through denial and suppression, we cannot create happiness without understanding how we’ve created / contributed to the unhappiness that exists within and without.
Furthermore, such paths to happiness have always been ‘individualized’, without regard or consideration for the happiness of the whole; without considering that no one can ever be truly happy when the rest of the world suffer, struggle, fight, deceive or lie to survive.

At Desteni we are walking a new path of happiness. That includes self-responsibility, self-honesty and the realization that we exist in the context of a whole that we create through our mere existence. Thus our mere existence determines the quality of the whole, which in turn determines the quality of the individual. No one chooses the conditions into which one is born – yet those conditions determine one’s chances and options in life, due to the inequality-system (money-system /world-system) and the accepted exploitation of life on this planet. To change the world we must change the system, to change the system we must change ourselves.

I find that actual happiness comes as self-fulfilment through the small steps of daily self-application, where we start putting our realizations into practical living; where we start committing ourselves to life, to self-support, self-honesty and walk the talk.

We tend to seek ‘happiness’ through the mind, and we tend to ‘find’ stuff that seemingly ‘give’ us something, like ‘hope’ or ‘strength’. We come to many realizations through common-sensical thinking, however realization are irrelevant if they exist merely in the mind.
It’s worth seeing that realizations remain merely ‘feelings’, ‘ideas’, ‘perceptions’, when not practically lived/applied. So the feeling of ‘strength’ for instance is not yet actual strength. We all go through this process of realizing that what we are seeking is in fact ourselves, and that we gotta get on our feet and actually move ourselves, do something, develop ourselves, make decisions, make a stand, determine who we are.

And that is where practical self-directive application comes-in or/and self-correction. Walking this process, I build self-trust as I learn to trust me to live my word / my realizations – committing myself to live self-honesty and to make sure I always have the whole of existence in context, with any consideration, any decision, any application at any given moment.

Making ourselves practical, making ourselves useful – to ourselves to begin with and then consequently to others equally – that is the accumulative ‘effect’ we can ‘cause’ as actual step to happiness; it’s a process that sees self within the context of the whole / Life.
How can we start doing what’s best for all, even in the ‘smallest’ moments of our existence? – that is the question.
Within this process of self-exploration / self-investigation in the context of the Whole, we are walking practical corrective-solutions each to our own ‘individual’ issues and expand this point consequently within how we communicate with ourselves, with each-other, with life – as LIFE.

So in fact this is a mutual re-education and re-evaluation process we are walking as humanity – and there is only One principle, only One value that can guide the way: LIFE itself – which is/will be our equality and oneness, our ‘divinity’, our ‘highest potential’.

Fascinating that the point of equality and oneness is in fact the way –the only way– to actual freedom as creators, as life, as living-potentials.

2012 is The End – but it is also The Beginning.

Be the Change you want to See in the World | Self Forgiveness: You give You a Ticket to Freedom

"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."

vengeance brings no justice. 


revenge brings no justice. 


justice can only exist where all life is free - and that is within equality. 
oneness by definition implies equality. but to bring about such a world, a reality where oneness and equality of life is the leading principle, we all must start with ourselves and the relationships in our world. 


it is not about forgiveness, there is no forgiveness for what we have allowed / are allowing. 


there is only self-forgiveness, and that is the door to self-change, self-correction, self-purification. without the change, forgiveness is irrelevant.


there is only self-forgiveness, and that is to set oneself free from the past and stop the blame, because through blame we give away our power to those we blame as we make them responsible. 


self-forgiveness is self-responsibility: 


giving yourself the ticket to a new life, a new existence, a path of self-correction, instead of waiting for others to change first; 


and as we/many walk the path of self-re-creation based on the value of life, dignity and respect, we slowly but surely start forming a new world, a new environment, where the children to come will be formed according to a new paradigm where life is valued as the 'highest value' that can ever exist.

HUMANITY is a GROUP – Earthlings Come Together Here & Now

Who would imagine that the process of self-realization of Mankind would be intricately and intimately connected to the money-system of the world?!

Why do I say this? Let me explain.

Humanity is a group. 

I cannot possibly seek self-realization in a bubble where only myself or only my family or only my belief-system exists in separation from all that is here. Who I am and how I exist here is determined through all relationships I form with all and everything in my world, and in turn determines the relationships of this world. That is our Truth; it is seen in who we are in the context of the one reality we share, it is seen in how we co-exist in the world, the smaller and the greater.

Alone in the mind everyone can be a superhero. But who are we HERE? Who are we in relation to everyone and everything else? How do we participate in reality? That is what forms reality; that is what creates the ‘world as we know it’ – breath by breath, moment by moment, step by step, through eons of time we collectively and individually construct what is Here, our Here: this world.

I am here, on this earth, in this body. I don’t know where I come from, but I know that I, as all, return to the dust of the earth and leave behind the legacy of who each one is and who we are collectively. What I also know is that the legacy we’ve been carrying around through eons of time cannot be that profound, otherwise we would be facing a difference of reality; we wouldn’t be facing the world as we know it: separation, exploitation, power-games, hierarchies, false values, disregard of life.

Humanity is a group. 

This is what we realized and came together as, at Desteni – a group of people from all corners of the world standing up for life, for oneness and equality in practical-application. 

The objective is to purify that which we’ve accepted and called ‘life’ into something that is actually worth living – for all. The way is to stand together and live into creation the principle of oneness and equality, to dis-cover the value of life – the value of life is life; and all life is equally valuable. We see that it is up to us, the people, you and me, to stop our accepted ways and stand-up to form a new system that will make it possible for all to LIVE a dignified life.

We come together to be the custodians of life on earth, as Earthlings. The destonian way of life goes beyond gender, race, culture, religion, status. The destonian way of life aims to transcend any and all hierarchies, any and all separation, any and all belief-systems. So that only life remains.

Purifying ourselves, we are able to purify our world. Beginning with ourselves, we expand to all that is here. Beginning with our relationships and co-existence in the small, we expand to the bigger picture, encompassing the globe and including all life. We stand all-inclusive and we hold the self-realization as life for all, even for those who are not yet willing to give up their self-definitions, their belief-systems, their fears.

We stand all inclusive because we see that we are each the result of the relationships and circumstances we were born into. No one was ever free to live, free to be and communicate as life. We’ve only ever looked for like-minded people to ‘feel safe’, people that will agree with our beliefs and accept our weaknesses and pretenses so that no one has to change. We’ve buying into the easy-fix solutions the system seems to offer and trying and keep to ourselves because “hey, what could I possibly do…” We keep using the masks we developed as coping-mechanisms in the context of family, friends, enemies; but we never really get to know another intimately, we never really commit to anything. Instead, we submit to fear and the survival-system we are presented with from birth to death.

The time for change is Here and Now.

It is the end of the world as we know it. 

Why? 

Because we see and we understand. We can no longer hide from the truth of ourselves.

For the first time we see and realize that in order to re-create ourselves in the image and likeness of who we really are as life: we have to include everyone and everything of our world, our existence, this one reality we share. We have to responsibly investigate how we have formed and conditioned ourselves and others through relationships of dependency, mistrust, manipulation; relationships in dishonesty, secrecy, pretense.

For the first time in the history of mankind a group has come together that stands not against anyone or anything, but stands for all and for the realization of life as equality and oneness, for the actualization of life based on and as the value of life.

As Destonians we stand alone and follow no one. Yet we walk together, assisting and supporting ourselves and each-other in transforming our living-application and transcending our existence into what is best for all life.

We stand alone – all:one – because self-realization entails SELF-honesty, SELF-trust, SELF-will. No one can realize for another, no one can breathe for another. Each one must stand-up within oneself and find stability and trust on one’s own two feet. No masters and no slaves have place in a new world where life is the value.

We share our processes in public because we stand for transparency, and because we realize that the consciousness cycles we are trapped in are universal: bipolar patterns of mind control that work from inside out. We fear ourselves, the world and each-other. People conspire in greed, jealousy, anger, spite. People wallow in self-pity, vengeance, remorse.  And the current accepted system is not supporting anyone in letting go of the monsters we have created within and without, the current system is not supporting anyone in breaking the chains of this prison we call ‘life’.

Au contraire: the system re-creates the monsters through polarity education, indoctrination of fear and separation, and the monsters we become re-create the system in turn, and so history is repeating and the world is as we know it.

We stand for a new world-system/money-system that will end all hierarchies, stop all abuse and leave no room for exploitation; a new system that will be based on the value of life and created to serve and support life – all life equally.

If you get what I’m saying, then get informed, get involved, walk with us in purifying this existence, washing our brains in self-responsibility and stopping the mind-control from the inside out. As long as fear exists, life is not possible. As long as we look for saviors, we remain slaves.

We say that life is possible, and we are our own living proof. The more we share, the more people see common sense and start seeing things for what they are. Start taking self-responsibility, start recognizing the LIE in the beLIEfs we’ve created to dominate each-other and Stop.

Come together to live practical solutions into creation, solutions that will support all life equally and end separation and exploitation – once and for all.

No gods, no masters, no slaves.

LIFE HERE is possible – for ALL as ONE, as self-willed Equals of Life.

The Bible and other Cults

... 

"The Bible and other Cults" - or 

Cultivating Relationships of actual Life Value 

The bible is not 'wrong' – it is a tool like everything else - the only problem is man's interpretation of the tools that exist in this world. Do the bible cult and other religions ‘love their neighbour’? Look at the middle east, look at the far west. Everywhere we look, we see man use the tools in a way that is called ‘divide and conquer’ – this is based in fear and only creates fear.

Why do we raise our children in fear, why do we run our relationships in fear, how can we ever ever be ‘for real’ if everything we do and everything we are: is based in fear. The relationships in our world could be something that shows us what we do not (yet) see of ourselves, like a mirror held into our face so that we may see what has become of us, so that we may have a chance to change ourselves, so that we may take responsibility.

Yet we don't do that. Our relationships are based in power-games, and power-games are based in fear; and fear is mind-control working from the inside out. 

With initially a small group of individuals that started investigating the practical aspects of reality and the individual within it all, we said 'enough is enough - no more fear!', and at Desteni we come together to stop this mind-control and support ourselves and each-other in seeing eye to eye, no longer hiding from reality, no longer hiding from ourselves. Self-honesty; Man Know Thyself. 

It's not about the group in the end and Desteni as a group will eventually no longer exist – when the whole world is One group, One family, One life ...names are irrelevant. At the moment however it IS about the group because that is the reference point we have created together in value of life, and that is where we make sure that ego will stand no chance against life. Through the group each one is mirrored ten-fold to help ourselves see, to make sure we don't fuck with ourselves, but remain response-able for 'who we are'; to make sure we do not delude ourselves with self-sabotage or illusions of grandeur – but instead remain ‘here’, grounded, humble, working with whatever comes up, bringing any given point to an alignment that is supportive of life as who we really are.

This is self-empowerment; the transcendence of ego beyond polarity in practical living application. After all – it’s about ‘who we are’, and it’s ourselves we gotta live with in the end.

We’ve had enough Napoleons, we’ve had enough Stalins; we’ve had enough abused, enough abusers. 

Enough is enough! The world is full of cults and look, one can identify them as being exclusive. 

We need a CULTURE of LIFE that is all-inclusive : we need to Cultivate Life in ourselves and each-other. Life is One, Life is All, Life is Equal. The value of life is life.

Art by Damian Ledesma 

Exclusive relationships, including if not especially family and friends, are often only functional as long as one submit to them and does not change. As soon as anything goes deeper, beyond the surface of things ‘as we know them’... it is perceived as a threat.

Everyday relationships that have a ‘personal’ face-to-face reality should be a place where all back-chat can be sorted out through intimate communication.

Why is this not happening? Why do we not learn to trust ourselves and each-other? Why do we treat our ‘loved ones’ like territory?
A person should not be ‘territory’ – Each grown-up person should be able to make their own decisions about what they stand for in life, who they will be/become and what kind of world they want to bring forth for the children to come. 

We should stop projecting our own fears and desires upon our children – This has not made the world a better place, it has only passed on the ‘sins of the fathers’ that seem to loop into infinity unless something, unless someone Stop and stand-up to say ‘Till Here No Further.

How can the world really change, if all change is faced with fear...
How can the world really change if every one submit and submerge oneself to the way things have always been...
How can the world really change, if you and me, the building blocks of our world, do not change...

In this one world we share, in this space-time reality, everyone is walking the same process and is faced with the same points at different times in life. Facing oneself and one’s reality is inevitable. Blaming and pointing fingers doesn’t work; as each one is always self-responsible, each one is always facing oneself, and all will inevitably face all and everything. 

Whether one walk this life process in directive will or whether one wait for things to ‘happen’ before one is forced to face oneself – the outcome is in the end the same. The difference is in the degree of inner suffering and the time to self-realization, both points directly connected to self-responsibility.

At Desteni we are walking the path of self-responsibility, taking things into our hands and working on accelerating the process so as to prevent further suffering in the world and within ourselves.

Family and friends is the system-unit we know best.

We are born of a system into a system. Family as the first and smallest system compartment is the group that defines ‘who we are’, give us ‘purpose and meaning’ based on tradition, culture, religion, belief, society/status, forefathers: the family determines what it is one must give ‘value’ to.

Individuals are seen as the ‘keepers’ of those values, and are in fact the ‘keepers’ of the system, this world as we know it. Because see – everywhere we look, we’ll see people fight over traditions, religions, beliefs; people kill each-other over different ‘values’, while the highest value – life itself as who we all really are – is disregarded.

It seems the very fight for one’s ‘own values’ is what serves the ‘forked tongue of the snake’: it feeds the ego and at the same time preserves the status quo – the world system as we know it.

The ‘big players’ of the world stage have long understood this principle, and rule the whole world by what is called ‘divide & conquer’: let them fight, let them blame each-other, let them be weak.

Obviously any significant change in the application of the average person’s separatist behaviour and egotistic ‘human nature’ is perceived as a threat to the ‘status quo’. To deal with this sudden ‘fear’, the system will seek ways of ‘control’ and will try and make the individual submit and submerge itself to ‘its grouping’ – until the individual is put back into ‘its place’.

As long as we fear each-other, as long as accept ourselves as inFearior: the system prevails.

At Desteni we understand/realize that a change in the world cannot come forth by itself; an actual change in the world cannot come forth without change of the individual through self-will to no longer be subject to the current and seemingly infinite system of separation, fear and abuse while history is repeating.

If we don’t stop history, history will stop us – and mankind as a whole will be facing its end while it’s busy fighting itself in a trivial war against each-other.

This current system of separation exists both within and without and is the consciousness we have all accepted and allowed to be ‘this existence’ as if it’s real, as if it’s who we really are; we call it ‘the ways of the world’ and ‘human nature’, while our consciousness, our mere existence not only undermines the value of life but actually harms that which we all have in common: Life.

We see it all around, and it’s time we stop.

Heaven on Earth is possible Here ...If we stand-up and stop this hell

Celebrating Diversity is Celebrating Equality

Some considerations in the context of Carnival and diversity celebrations... It is fascinating that, behind the masks we mask ourselves with and often hide behind – ornaments of culture, ethnic inheritance, tradition, religion and other cults and belief-systems – we are all the same: skin and bones, a crown of thorns, breathe-in breathe-out, with or without...

Why define ourselves by our differences?! Is the ‘pride’ in diversity actually a manifestation of our ‘spite’ towards that which we have equally become within and as this world : Organic robots living a systematic existence in cycles of abuse, trapped in oblivion, enslaved to a system of no mercy and no consideration for life, a system in the image and likeness of its creator, you and me... And in an attempt to deny and forget the obvious atrocity we all equally exist in and have accepted and allowed to become of this world, we try and give meaning to our differences – a desperate attempt to give ourselves some ‘value’...

The value of life is life!

Fascinatingly enough, celebrations of diversity end-up celebrating our equality and demonstrating that under the garment that is our disguise we are all equal – we breathe the same air and need the same elements to live on this earth.
We all know the national or ethnic groupings and clubs at universities, colleges and generally the global villages worldwide like Berlin, London, New York. This is quite 'interesting' to observe if we take into consideration how this world as our current and accepted system imposes a 'minority fear' (not that it is a place to really feel at home anyhow...). People tend to get together under the auspices of their culture & customs to feel more 'at home', to feel more 'safe'... In an Equal Money system based in the value of Life, this phenomenon will slowly but surely dissipate, as we create a world where ALL LIFE may feel equally at home!

The conditioned elements of our different cults and traditions cannot save us from facing ourselves as participants of this co-existence called Earth. They are no justification and no excuse for abuse and separation.

Time to realize that THE VALUE OF LIFE IS LIFE and that this world system as it exists through everybody’s permission is a crime against life!
Time we do something about this!
