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.

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.

A New Individuality for New World ALLitics

No actual individuality exists currently really.
If one self-honestly observe, it is obvious that we all exist within the same patterns – as variations of patterns in a bipolar world – merely clones of our forefathers and everybody else. Not only movies and rock stars repeat… even history is repeating and that at least should be recognized as an indication of our ‘stuck-ness in a trap’; An infinite time-loop on a blue planet with a humanity driven by fear and controlled through a value-system of polarity – surviving instead of living.

Self-empowerment requires self-will and the self-honesty to see what it is that is actually keeping one from supporting self as life: Apart from the ego consciousness and the power-games of ‘superiority’/‘inferiority’, in this physical reality self-support / self-sustainability is impossible when one’s physical needs are not met.
As physical beings, our needs entail physical resources – and although there is enough for all in this world at this very moment, not all have access to what is here. Money has become the ‘god’ that decides who lives and who dies – and our so-called individuality has so far been of no help when it comes to breaking down the walls that bind us and bringing-forth a real solution for this world that will stand the test of time.
Why?
Is it because individuality has so far been based in fear? InFeariority – which one try to cover-up with a ‘superior’ make-up, a made-up personality that is always in competition, desire to be ‘more’ while it fears being ‘less’… Fear of survival, fear of loss, fear of each-other, fear of oneself? The desire for power and the lack of trust in oneself and each-other – all that as starting-point of ‘self’ has resulted into a human race that is unable to support self and each-other and take care of its common ground – Earth.


All ‘power’ witnessed in this world is fake – it is based in polarity, it is a cover-up for fear, for cowardice, for indignity and separation.

The only ‘real power’ in this world is Money – not because money is real but because man has created money as god that has real impact on people’s life and death. Money the holy spirit – a demonic spirit in the image and likeness of man, that became evil in nature, equal and one to its creator – man: an evil ‘god’ that allows half the world to suffer, as long as its ‘own’ is ‘safe from harm’.
That is our ‘individuality’ today.
What we fail to see and recognize in this bipolar world, is that all is suffering from the same conditions – and the suffering is self-inflicted, accepted and allowed, tolerated or simply given permission for through inaction and ignorance.


At Desteni we explore, test and document practical solutions for the insanity of this mess age – solutions both individual as well as collective that can be practically lived and applied by everybody and all together – solutions from the starting-point of equality and oneness of life – to stop abuse, stop separation, stop polarity, and stand-up as self-willed individuals that care for the whole equally as self. A new self is emerging, a new individuality – to stop the horror in fact and actualize our world as life as oneness and equality in an eco-system of actual life-support for ALL.
