[2012] Is LOVE something you can TOUCH

Love in this world has been defined through the consumerism consciousness of self-interest (see the documentary The Century of Self for an extensive background on the development of ‘modern civilization’ as we know it today), and definitions of love has been impulsed onto us through the different media in an idealizing manner, resulting into various consequences in terms of what we think of love, how we struggle to experience love, and what illusions we tend to create as ‘love’ in our attempt to deny the physical actuality of ourselves and this existences, our attempt to suppress the ‘negative’, the suffering, the ‘dark side’ of ourselves and this world, our attempt to avoid taking responsibility for life.

We have become ‘happiness machines’ and ‘love’ has become the drug which we use to either seek the bliss of enlightened self-interest or to become comfortably numb.

So – love has become an idea, a concept, an illusion of grandeur and profoundness, when in fact our practical physical living in this world gives no evidence of love, no evidence of a loving reality within ourselves and our world, this existence.

How can love exist in a world where separation, self-interest, war, conflict, rape, starvation, exploitation prevail?

We fight in the name of love, we hate in the name of love, we kill in the name of love.

How have we missed to make love practical?

What are the mental projections and concepts of ‘love’ that we’ve deluded ourselves with – to such an extent that we’ve lost all practical connection to reality as ourselves and this world?

We can see definitions of love in all fields of our consumer consciousness field: media, movies, money-system, education, religion, spirituality...

You will also note that those that are possessed by ‘love’ will refuse to consider anything else but that love is the answer -- and there will be no practical way they can explain how love will change the world and regardless of this obvious oversight, their egos will spew one word like magic poison: ‘love will heal the world’ -- they should watch the news to see that the only love on the Telly is the love the corporations are promoting as love for their products. [1]

How do we redefine LOVE to be a living word that will in fact change the experience of ourselves as humanity, as a whole, as existence?

Love is: to not give up on yourself or others/existence - but to be willing to stand no matter what, to not accept or allow anything less than what's best for all; and be willing to take the risks/actions necessary to get this done. [2]

When we look at the practical-living of love, it is not in the words “I love you”, it is not within one person making another person feel ‘special’ or ‘wanted’ or ‘desired’, it is not the stroking of your ego, it is not accepting each-other the way we are because that would imply that love is a lock-down of personalities so that they never change as they have found the point that accept ‘just the way they are’ and therefore they will not expand, they will not grow, they will not consider anything else since the ego/personality is ‘satisfied’. That is not love.

Love is NOT an experience - it is a living reality you participate in with another being and existence as a whole. [3]

Looking at love in the context of relationships we can see that the point of love has been extremely sexualized in all aspects. One cannot possibly ‘have’/’get’ love without participating in comparison, competition, jealousy. Further, obsession, possessiveness and fear of loss play a role in ‘keeping’ the love one ‘has’. Seduction, manipulation, deception are further phenomena in the context of ‘love’ in this world.

We sell ourselves for love in all possible ways. Love becomes the context where we compromise ourselves just to ‘have’ that little bit of attention and acceptance that we mostly don’t give to ourselves. Within that, touch has become a tool of hidden messages and manipulation, as beings do not actually get to know each-other and self beyond the boundaries of the personality traits we present ourselves as; we do not learn to actually communicate, support and assist self and each-other to express, expand, flourish.

Can you allow yourself to be touched by another without it becoming immediately a sexual projection?

Why can people not touch each other in support to just convey ‘I am here with you’ = in the touch? [4]

How do we redefine TOUCH to be a living word that will in fact change the experience of ourselves as living beings, and through that change the experience of our whole existence?

Touch as the living word is how a mother and father will hold and touch a new born baby or how you would hold a puppy when you bring it home... [5]

Touch as the connection/embracing of a physical-manifestation/ body for a moment sharing the contact of being here together with each other [6]

Touch is the evidence of I am Here.

But what am I here as?

Our touch has been throughout our lives coloured with all kinds of symbols, depending on what we have gone through and experienced, the relationships we’ve had and the ones we’ve witnessed. It’s like we’ve lost touch with our own touch, our own physical, our own presence, as our presence has been and is being defined through the consciousness of our conditioned mind – the mind that exists in polarities of fear and desire, thus: we never express directly, but through patterns of the mind.

The same with Touch.

It is a challenge for all human beings to let go of the conditioned existence we have accepted as who we are and get back to self, to the simplicity of I am Here, to the purity of touch – Touch without hidden agendas, without future projections, without the need to control the outcome, without the expectation to get something out of it.

Simplicity in the direct communication as I am here – the straightforwardness of pure touch can be the greatest comfort in this world ...and perhaps a way to change it!

Give up sainthood, renounce wisdom,
And it will be a hundred times better for everyone.

Give up kindness, renounce morality,
And men will rediscover filial piety and love.

Give up ingenuity, renounce profit,
And bandits and thieves will disappear.

These three are outward forms alone; they are not sufficient in themselves.
It is more important
To see the simplicity,
To realize one's true nature,
To cast off selfishness
And temper desire.

-         - Lao Tzu

At Desteni we walk the process of transforming the conditioned existence of ourselves into self-directive living through self-will in self-honesty – to no longer be puppets on the strings of the mind, but to stand equal to and one with the entirety of self and take responsibility for who we are in every moment, with every word, thought and deed, in everything we participate in and everything we touch.

Let's make Love something we can Touch - 

something all can see, live and practically experience as the fabric of our existence in all possible ways!

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.

Cult of Holy Spirit/Spear-it/Spare-it | Is it truly Wholly ?

...
Wholly Spirit
...

The holy spirit is 
wholly as
the breath of life - 
as the life that all 
living beings share - 
We all breathe the same air.




There is no requirement or necessity to separate oneself from this life force and call it 'god' or whatever.
The only reason to do that would be the intention to abdicate responsibility to such projected entity - to not have to be accountable for our creation here.


It is insane:
the human seeks 'power' (directly or unconsciously) - and yet abdicates the very power as life that comes with breathing here - the responsibility for life, for all that is here.




Equality is in fact the 'highest' a living being can be.


Within equality one can be anything, yet is not limited to something, which one apparently 'own' or 'possess' and has to 'protect' against others or 'prove' as worthy or valuable through self-righteousness.


Self-honesty is required to let go of ego and Stand as Life - as a self-willed equal to all that is here - as one, as whole, here, as self-directive principle.


We can ALL be truly wholly.
All together and each one individually.




The Holy Spirit as 'god' is like a cult. All cults are mind fabrications claiming 'grandeur' and 'exclusivity'.
Life is All-Inclusive.
The Sun is Here for All. Nature knows no boundaries.


Why is Man not Equal as the Sun/Son?
Because of the want/need/desire for 'something more'?


Why does man not BECOME 'more' in fact -Earth could be Heaven for All if man will it-, instead of making-it up in the 'mind' where it becomes 'mine', possession, delusion, enslavement... and we keep on 'mining' for 'more'...!


'Mind the gap'.




Rather Breathe Here. 
Let's Walk in Awareness on the Souls/Soles of our Feet - facing Self, as all that is here. 
Rather become the Wholly Spirit of Life, Equal as the Value of Life: in Dignity and mutual Respect; Worthy of Life, Worthy of each-other, Worthy of the Air we breathe.


Self-Willed Equals will Free ourselves and Life as who we are from the enslavement of this human consciousness that is of separation, suppression, 'superior'-obsession, supposed 'profession'.


LIVE!



Instead of secretly, in the mind, following what one 'beLIEve' and 'hold dear' in self-righteousness and in fear - Rather be one vote for LIFE - Speak up, speak out, shout it out loud! LIVE!


Join Reality: Here are Human Beings Standing up to realize self.response.ability for What is Here - within this creating a new desteni for Humanity, as man-kind in fact, in actuality.

‎"The only soul of value is the sole of your feet that take you breath by breath to walk in the shoes of each other and take care of each other as if it is yourself -- then the soul/sole is nurtured and valuable and supported and supportive" 

‎"See the inbreath as accepting life and the outbreath as giving life -- it must be equal --
as you receive you give
thus -- the trees live on our outbreath and we live on the outbreath of the trees" 

- Bernard Poolman

‎"...human beings have defended the ‘right to believe whatever I want’ as a form of self righteousness that stems from our delusion of apparently having ‘free choice’ and ‘free will’ in this reality, which are only but a pair of aspects that we’ve debunked within this process of Self Honesty. While walking it, we see and realize that we are subjects of a preprogrammed reality, endowed with preprogrammed features to create the faux perception that we are ‘free to think’ whatever the hell we want – we can! yes, though from thinking to reality there’s a huge step missed: the physical-living and tangible reality we are realizing ourselves as. 

Within this, the mind conjectures become invisible ‘food for thought’ that serves no purpose in the physical reality, but allowing each being to remain as an enclosed bubble of thinking processes justifying and excusing itself of how thinking is ‘at least’ the self-righteous act wherein we ‘make the rules’. Hmm."
