Self-Honesty & Self-Awareness Steps for the Elite

The Elite?


If you are reading this – you ARE the elite. I am the elite. All of us who have a certain roof over our head, a certain access to water and electricity, a certain access to money and an income that ensures everything one needs for a dignified living in this physical reality: WE are the ones that determine the evolution of the system, the evolution of life on planet earth – through everything that we do and sadly also through everything that we don’t do.

The ones in less fortunate positions such as famine, war, starvation, forced labor, are all enslaved to conditions they have no power to change, because they are cast out of the system we all daily participate in, they have no voice in this world, no vote to make their voice heard, and often no vocabulary to formulate the actual state of affairs they are being subjected to.

It is therefore up to the rest of us to find it within us to stand up for LIFE, and that includes every living thing on this existence, from the smallest to the biggest; to find it within us to realize our responsibility by the mere fact that WE RAE HERE, born into conditions that give us a relative power to move things, to voice our position, to make a stand and make sure that how we live and co-exist is practically bringing-forth a better life, a dignified life for ALL.

To find this will of life within us, self-honesty is required and practical common sense – to see who it is we are, how we came to be, and how it is that we are in fact creating this world; and to stop creating from a starting-point of fear, self-interest and separation, and instead start creating in awareness, in the realization that we exist in the context of life and that life is interdependent.

We have done already great harm to ourselves, each-other and our home planet – but this should not stop us from standing-up and stating “till here and no further”; it should not stop us from finding practical ways to stop the accepted ways of the world and transform the current system within and without into a living-expression of what is best for all – after all, what is best for all, is best for you and me.


This is obviously not going to be a quick fix, nor an easy journey. There is much re-education to be done in terms of freeing ourselves from the conditioned survival fear that keeps us existing against each other; freeing ourselves from the mind control that is being thrown at us from the moment of birth and really ask ourselves the question: what would we have liked to learn and experience as children coming into this world, how would the opportunities to explore and express ourselves look like – and what practical infrastructure would a system require to in fact provide the children with such quality of life; what will it take to change ourselves in such a way that we break the cycles of abuse and separation, that we stop history from repeating and really, truly, create a new world – for real, for ALL.




Yes - we require an entirely new system. At the same time however, we require to realize that –as with everything in existence–  it all starts with self. We are the building blocks of this world, as this world exists through and as the relationships we entertain – in the smallest of details.


Check out the series Self-Awareness Steps for the Elite – and make use of the tools offered to assist yourself toward self-honesty and a dignified existence.
Allow yourself to question self-interest and our fear-based existence, allow yourself to see yourself in a bigger context: the context of life, the context of oneness and equality as creation. 
Watch the following interview for a taste of what such a process entails:





Self-Honesty

I've been walking this process for more than four years now. Self-honesty entails the willingness to see/ recognize/ reveal the 'hidden motives' on the basis of which our beliefs, fears, desires, self-definitions are created/ adopted/ accepted. Self-honesty also entails to see the patterns we participate in (mental, emotional, behavioral) and understand/realize the cause/ beginning/ origin and effect/ outflow/ consequence - to ultimately take self-responsibility to change self in a way that no more (self-)abuse is allowed. Self-honesty is the process of revealing to myself where and how I am being self-dishonest, where and how I deceive or sabotage myself - to then investigate the self-corrective/ self-purifying practical steps required to stop - and 'transform' myself into a being I can live with. That is in the end the ultimate 'question' life confronts us with: "Can you live with yourself in the face of life, in the face of all that is here?" - "Have you stood up for yourself, have you stood up for life - What impact have you/ has your participation had on life as a whole?"

The main tools I utilize to work on points I am faced with throughout my everyday life are writing and self-forgiveness, which in few words could be described as: self-introspection, writing out the points/patterns, investigating what is 'behind' the particular thoughts/ emotions/ beliefs/ (self-)definitions, see the consequences for self/life, see what I am allowing within self/the world through my acceptances per implication, and make the choice to stop/ let-go/ forgive myself.
From here, what is required is a 'new script' which self determines in self-honesty: How do I want to 'purify'/'correct' myself in this regard? What is acceptable and what is unacceptable for life/ freedom/dignity? How do I want to live/apply the change practically? Self-honesty from here would be to direct myself towards/as self-change in the very moments where the particular pattern I worked with comes-up or gets triggered again. That is where I then 'test myself' in reality, that is where I 'prove' to myself that I am in fact taking self-responsibility, that I can in fact trust my word, that I am in fact directing myself to live as best for life, as best for all, of which i am equally part of.

Obviously this is a huge 'subject' and as I said I have been walking this 'process' for many years already. This started when I came across Desteni (I had been following a 'spiritual' path up to that point and was busy focusing on the 'positive' and suppressing/denying the 'negative' within self/the world) and that is when I started to participate on the forums and write and communicate with others that were also busy exploring life and themselves and searching for 'truth';
I started exploring the principle of equality and oneness, understanding polarity and how it works and how we trap ourselves and each-other within such system (within and without), and discussing practical solutions for self and the world so that we may finally make this world and life something that is no longer abusive/deceptive/exploiting; something that is worth living and worth leaving to our children without regret, without fear, without harm.




What is most fascinating is that, although this process started as a self-realization process for the individual, we concluded that we cannot be preoccupied with self only while the world is burning and half the population is left to starve; that we must first create the structural support and transform the system(s) of our world in a way that each living being can have a dignified life - then all are free to explore self and all have actual real choice to be and become who we truly are, and do what we really enjoy doing - without the enslavement of the current money-system that determines our choices and decides who lives and who dies.

Therefore at the moment we are focusing on bringing-forth a new equality system, while of course each one individually continues to walk the process of self-honesty, taking self-responsibility, developing self-trust, purifying ourselves and our relationships, and establishing the self-will from which emerge the freedom as we break free from the chains of 'old' and ingrained habits and patterns of this system consciousness that is based on fear, self-interest and basically war/competition/winners and losers. A win-win solution is possible for life. And that is the process of life as oneness and equality, within as without.


Check out the open forum at http://forum.desteni.org - much is shared there and people/we utilize the forum to write, share, discuss and support ourselves and each-other in self-honesty and practical common sense.

Check out the Equal Money website. The website will change in about a week's time with an interactive first page where people will be able to vote and comment on the goals and policy development thus far on the Equal Money System. There will also be an Equal Money wiki. Make sure you get involved, make sure your voice counts for what is best for all!

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.

Honesty vs Self-Honesty – System vs Life


Honesty vs Self-Honesty – System vs Life
---Equations for Self-Realization---

Given that our current definition of a System is not life-supportive but rather life-depleting, and given that Life is that which we all have in common and (common-sensically) that which should protected and supported in all ways –
I looked to constructively investigate the differences between System and Life, and also to see What is common sense within/of a System and What is common sense within/of Life.

All can agree that systematic patterns, systematic behaviour, systematic occurrence is based on conditioned stimuli-response-patterns, and is thus never truly self-directed; systematic approach is reactive approach, instead of active participation from a starting-point of self.
From this one could deduct the ‘definition’ that life is that which is free of pre-programming; life is self-directive; life is not the energetics we exist within, life is not single ‘frequencies’ – life is source, unlimited, sound.


Here follow some expressions from the perspective of equality - a comparative differentiation between ‘systematic common sense’ and common sense of life, as well as a parallel differentiation between ‘honesty’ and self-honesty:



SYSTEM COMMON SENSE 
*I am defined by that to which I am attached 
*fixed opinion, justification is necessary 
*definitions exist so that I may exist 
Honesty: through my personality I demonstrate who (I believe) I AM

COMMON SENSE OF LIFE 
*no attachment – no definition 
*no opinion - only self-expression as the moment one and equal
*Man Know Thyself
Self-Honesty: I live who I really am – There exists no need/want /desire to demonstrate or acquire ‘validation’



SYSTEM COMMON SENSE 
*change is dangerous - because change threatens my definitions, attachments, opinions, therefore it threatens me
*change exists as evolution - I change, therefore I become ‘better’ 
*I change according to trends, situations, environment – my ‘honesty’ is defined by these factors

COMMON SENSE OF LIFE
*change is not an act 
*change is - as the only certainty – the flow of life

...will I direct myself to change/flow as life
or will I allow myself to be changed into yet another system?
Self-Honesty: I remain ‘who I am’ regardless what the situation demands from me – change doesn’t change ‘me’ = I ‘know’ ‘who I am’, I am here



SYSTEM COMMON SENSE 
*I perceive choice 
*I am defined by my choices
 
Honesty: I choose to ‘love’ or ‘hate’, ‘like’ or ‘dislike’
Choice is (ab)used to abuse
COMMON SENSE OF LIFE 
*no choice exists - life does not choose to be life 
Self-Honesty: I realize the source of ‘like’ or dislike’ as based on programming/resonance – and that I did not direct myself to my choices, rather, my choices have been impulse unto me. I also realize that those impulses have been systematic and not of who I am as life.
Now I have an actual choice: self-honesty as life, or self-dishonesty whereby I would continue to identify with and define myself by my ‘choices’ as all external factors making-up my ‘identity’ in the system



SYSTEM COMMON SENSE 
*if I just make my box big enough, I can be free 
Honesty: “I will be free when I’m able to do whatever I want”

COMMON SENSE OF LIFE 
*freedom exists only of self as life - as who I am as life 
*real freedom cannot be limited by a box
*real
freedom exists from the starting-point of self within and as
self-honesty 
given that self = life = all = equal – freedom of self implies that none are free unless all are free



SYSTEM COMMON SENSE fears the unknown - thus it evolves into and as that which is already known 
Honesty: “I AM.... divinexxx”

LIFE is the unknown (COMMON SENSE) 
SELF-HONEST common sense dares the unknown and despite all definition remains undefined



A SYSTEM exists equal to and one with the system it is
*per definition a system exists in/as polarity and separation – look around - and that this is so, is COMMON SENSE for the SYSTEM
That is the Honesty of the system.

LIFE exists within and as oneness and equality, within and as awareness of oneness and equality as all as one as equal. Thus – no separation, no polarity.
In Self-Honesty, self = life = all = equal. Oneness and equality OF LIFE is SELF-HONEST COMMON SENSE



SYSTEM COMMON SENSE 
*the others come first when it´s about blame & judgement 
*self comes first when it´s about profit/attainment/achievement 
This is Honesty of the system – it exists in self-justification / self-interest

SELF-HONEST COMMON SENSE 
*self first 
as self is all as one as equal of life 
*there exists nothing that is not of self as all as one as equal 
and thus self always considers what is best for all: self-honesty as life



SYSTEM COMMON SENSE 
*awareness is considered and defined as ‘attainment’ or ‘higher purpose’ separate from self and is desired as ‘power’ over others - without the realization that awareness in separation leads to yet more separation 
Or
*one often ‘accepts’ limitation/inferiority/being inadequate, so as to remain in one’s ‘comfort zone’ – justifying this with words like “I’m just not good enough, honestly!” That is ‘honesty’ of systems.

SELF-HONEST COMMON SENSE 
*awareness is here as self:
self-awareness in every breath as the law of self and the natural beingness and hereness of life 
*awareness is awareness as life self as all as one as equal 

within and as self-awareness, LIFE allows no separation within self and all as self.
 
Self-Honesty allows for one to see one’s own imposed/accepted limitations and realize that ultimately one can only break-through through self-will and letting go of ego.



SYSTEM COMMON SENSE is conditional, conditioned and conditioning 
“I’ll do this for you (then honestly you must you do this for me)”  

COMMON SENSE OF LIFE is none of the above - it is unconditional  

SELF-HONEST COMMON SENSE in application is unconditional - never conditional, conditioned or conditioning - One never does something ‘for another’ – that would imply separation - it is always self



SYSTEM COMMON SENSE can be ‘bought’ and/or ‘attained’ and is used to validate, justify and sustain the system 
Honestly, if you got the money – I’m yours!”

SELF-HONEST COMMON SENSE is priceless and cannot be attained but only self-realized - and is applied to support and honor LIFE as all as one as equal of life 

SELF-HONEST COMMON SENSE serves no purpose but LIFE
in the realization that the value of life is life




SYSTEM COMMON SENSE is the mind abusing life 
“I am an honest person..., but...”
“I’d really like to do this now, but I’d rather do it tomorrow, because...”

COMMON SENSE OF LIFE is life in application 
SELF-HONEST COMMON SENSE is being and supporting life as all as one as equal
Self-honesty is ‘in the moment’ – every moment there exists a single actual choice: self-honesty or self-dishonesty – ‘Who am I within it all?’



SYSTEM COMMON SENSE: it is good to wait, “waiting is wise”
In the system we reason with time to manipulate things to our personal self-interest
Honestly, – I have time or I don’t have enough time, I don’t have time at all....” - "If only I had the time..."
SELF-HONEST COMMON SENSE: ‘waiting’ does not exist’, as life is here within and as every moment.
I, as who I am of life, am here within and as every moment of breath, thus ‘waiting’ is self-dishonesty.
Self-honesty is walked Here, in every here-moment of breath.




SYSTEM COMMON SENSE will place the system support before life. Look at the current world system.
Honestly” often indicates explanatory factors and a point of view separate from the common good.

In SELF-HONEST COMMON SENSE life always comes first: what is best for all. What does not support all/life is simply unacceptable. 
Self-honesty has no need for validation. I either do what is best for all or not. Self-honesty is to act like all is always known to all. Imagine all standing at the end of time and seeing it all. Validation/Justification is irrelevant.


Equal Money is Life for All - Common Sense

in Self-Honesty : Communication implies Directive

...
Looking at a pattern of ‘communication’ where instead of being straight-forward within and as self-directive power, one will rather ‘wait’ for the other to ‘come forward’ and give direction or make a suggestion one can ‘relate’ to.

Why is this a problem?
If one ‘wait and see what’s coming’ to then accordingly interact – What does that imply? One is not communicating, one is reacting. Action-Reaction accumulated, one will end-up in a chain of reactive patterns not knowing how one got there. 
Action-Reaction is not Communication. 



Reactive behaviour stems from lack of self-determination: Out of ‘fear of being direct’, one will behave ‘indirectly’ and attempt to anticipate and manipulate another and/or one’s reality.
If we look at this perceived ‘infeariority’ (‘fear of being direct’) more closely, we can see that it is but a justification for cowardice and self-dishonesty. Fear always hides self-dishonesty and that is a ‘flag-point’ we can use to assist and support ourselves with effective self-direction. 

What is the ‘fear’ actually about? Let’s see: Being direct and communicating straight-forward implies Responsibility – Self-Responsibility and accountability for ‘who I am’ and how I co-exist and interact within my world.
Thus, ‘fear of being direct/directive’ is ‘fear of self-responsibility’/’fear of accountability’. What does that imply? That one does not trust oneself to direct oneself and one’s world as best for all and be accountable for every thought, word and deed.




It is easy to leave it upon the other to direct, while one simply ‘wait and see’. Being a Re-Actor one can blame another or blame one’s world, as one abdicate Responsibility for what is ‘happening’ to oneself and others in one’s world.

Being directive, one is an ‘activist’, a ‘practivist’. Taking self-directive power, one will communicate oneself directly, and will consequently take self-responsibility.
Because we either sit and wait and allow for things to ‘happen to us’, or we must ‘make things happen’ by our own directive will, in self-responsibility.


In the Communication model, within Actual Communication, both individuals are able to stand in equality and oneness and equally communicate self-directive will. The responsibility that goes with the consideration of equality means that the systems created within and through Communication will consequently serve what’s best for all as support to ‘who we are’ and how we are directing ‘our Here’, our common ground.
Communication is about communicating SELF, communicating directly ‘who we are’; When we communicate about points it is within the context of sharing ourselves and/or building support-structures for ‘who we are’.

In the Action-Reaction model however, one will create systems in separation, as personas and ideas through which one attempt to ‘communicate’ – thereby completely ‘missing’ oneself and each-other.


Communication is ‘physical’, direct and open in nature; it is ‘what is here’, as ‘who we are’. It is ‘immediate’. Responsibility is the 1+1 ‘consequence’ one will inevitably realize.

Action-Reaction is of ‘mind’, secretive in nature, based on interpretations of what is here. It is ‘mediate’. Responsibility is abdicated in fear of ‘consequence’.




We can see that Self-Honesty as ‘Man Know Thyself’ is imperative in the self-realization process of mankind. 
Because when one know oneself, consequence is not something to be feared or avoided; Consequence is simply the common-sensical outflow of ‘who I am’, the outcome of the steps I take in every breath : Self.Response.Ability. And when one’s ‘account’ is clear, one make oneself ‘able’ : Account.Able

We must push ourselves to learn how to truly communicate; with ourselves first, to firstly take responsibility for who we are and how our existence affects our world – and then with each-other based on the principle of equality and equal respect. 

We must learn to be directive, taking on the self-directive will to shape our world explicitly
We must be straight-forward and responsible, to live without shame, to live without regret, embracing ourselves and each-other in mutual recognition as life.
