Responsibility...One's...Ability to respond - philerosophi

Namaste!

...ditty from the manual diary...

...away we go back through the looking glass mirror in the window, me looking back out at the world looking in on me looking within, without which [my] within would be without the synchronous link "with", before in & out, & yet both with "with", together at One...

So how is One to respond?

Peace & love!

pSi-pHi :-)

Paean to life...

Was randomly hitting 'Next Blog' for something to do this Fathers Day eve (NZ), when came across this blog entry:

http://fishwithtrish.blogspot.com/2011/09/assuming-comment-from-my-visit-to.html

Trish makes a rather passionate call for stopping abortion from a Christian perspective, & I felt compelled to type a reply, & here you go below...

Came out quite nicely, so thought I'd copy it here so I would not forget about it...don't 'lose it' as another random unacknowledged comment amongst hundreds...

:-)


Namaste Trish!
The fact that every abortion is a tragedy is undeniable.

But the issue you talk to here, is not the death of a baby, but your own.

Yes, you & I, & all of us will die one day, maybe tomorrow.

To die is indeed 33/33 guranteed to happen, & if I had a choice I would want to leave this mortal coil with as much of my dignity upheld as I am able.

I feel the greater dignity is to be found in Love.

To live a life in fear of one's inevitable death, as a 'merciful' god threatens to cast you to eternal hell, for an ever changing grab-bag list of sins (feel free to debate on this list of sins with me), is in a way even more tragic.

Also somewhat undignified (in my humble opinion).

Choose life Trish!

Don't get lost on the abortion canard; yes canard.

Abortion opposition is a righteousness that some people hide behind, to make it look like they're doing something 'big'; a 'safe' cause to support.

And worth fighting for to a degree as, I reiterate, every one lost is a tragedy!

But its a given that EVERYONE also agrees it would be great if there was no need/want for abortion. No one supports abortion directly, except in your right to have one as a last resort.

But there it is, & that's life.

However, the greater injustice is the starving billions on Earth- the 30,000 children EVERY DAY who die a preventable death. The 900,000+ every month, & the 10 million+(?) every year!

Many Christian charities do excellent work in that field.

I would suggest you sign up the energy you obviously have to maintain a blog to this great service to the glory of God. After a time you will come to know the precious blessing that is every vulnerable child...as it dies in YOUR arms.

But the humility that comes with this horrid experience, & with this knowledge, will strengthen your resolve to resist the forces that allow this BIGGEST of injustices to occur.

Almost every death preventable, all but a pawn in the game of money, greed, power & status.

Resist that demonic force Trish, & you will truly be doing the 'good' work, both for humanity & to the service of God.

This is a dignified life.

This was the example of Jesus on how to lead a life of Love, & is mainly what he preached upon. Help the needy, heal the sick, feed the poor, challenge the self serving powers that be.

Show me one reference to abortion in the Gospels of the Apostles. Are there any? - I don't know.

Peace & love to you.

Amen.

pSi-pHi :-)

p.s. I just came across your blog here randomly, by using 'Next Blog' from my own.

Thanks for being a sounding board at the very least, even if my words have no resonance for you. They are but mere words...

Confirmation Bias

Namaste!

Watch this 1 1/2 minute clip 1st:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq0KNfS_M44&NR=1&feature=fvwp

The evolution of the sovereign states of Europe over the last 500 years. Many paths to citizenship of the E.U.
Map just tickled my fancy as it reminded me of more angles of 'confirmation bias' which I have had multiple synchronicities with of late...oh the bias's we love to be blind to! We should look close @ our bias's, cause they are a simple tool to direct awakening.

The evolution of bias can be winnowed down to any imbalance between likes & dislikes, largely 'unexamined' by the intellect, but sloted into place by either/both of the reptilian brain stem that controls our instincts & the mammalian limbic/emotional, middle brain structures.

The intellect in the neo-cortex has little access to the mid & lower brain structures on a direct rational self inquiry basis, @ least not in 'real time' situations that demand answers asap. However we can access these mid/lower regions by bringing mindful, loving, awareness to the emotional & bodily reactions that are caused by various stimuli, both of in & exterior varieties...dislikes & likes, costs & benefits, a movable feast continuim of desire/aversion that can swing wildly between the poles of bias...& acceptance.

The whole body-minds reaction to stimuli is a study in bias from introduction, recognition as 'other', understanding, acceptance & integration...ready for the next stimuli...

Sorta like Bhuddism for a 30 second attention span, but much better said using a different metaphor by the guy in the next link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q95kX_EP2Nk

And there are many paths to experiencing the body:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D0BeLz5blM

But getting to the place above can be a long journey on the way to...LOVE!

So go ride your bias's, but make sure that it's for the peace & wellbeing of all.


Peace!

pSi-pHi :-)

I guess my 'confirmation bias' has a good stretch from Europe map to Bill Hicks looking for the goodness in the recesses of our global soul...!!

Got a 3 hour gap to fill...???

Very much worth a close look.

One of the more 'grounded' analysis' of the criminal fraud & blatant lies surrounding 911 & the path to war in Afghanistan & Iraq, to where we are today; in the perpetual War of Terror being force fed us on the nightly news...

What a GREAT Idea for an 'Alternative Currency' !! Yes, oh yes !!

The above would be just one of many possible solutions to our global greed/financial crisis conundrum it would seem to me, but quite a good one to begin with.

This, or something like it, should be the start of an international co-operative competition, the prize for which is to be of the greatest benefit for all humanity.

LETS Harness our collective energy for compassionate loving goodness & design an energy exchange system where little ole me, one person, one student of love, is rewarded for the amount of energy I put back into the One, converted from the least amount of energy consumed from the One.

LET us all truly learn be One Love together.

Amen- LET it be so!!

The ultimate reward, from this challenge for ourselves to collaborate on a local to global scale for finding the best evolutionary wave/s to surf on, is for our own personal & humanity's collective salvation.

So here's an idea below I've been toying with. Obviously still needs more work, but, here you go!! Have been thinking about it for a while, but been inspired by Mike Rivero's 'Lectro' to jot down my thoughts to give them some more cohesion.

**You need to read this post in conjunction with "21/12/2012; what does it all mean?" which I wrote a few days before this one.**

From a part of all this seething energy, like a plasma surrounding & infusing us, which many of us are already rapidly learning how to massage into more beneficial streams of intention, perhaps we can put something into a physical structure...

Like a Metta-Compassion Bank.

Spelling intentionally metaphoric- cheers Jas-Un!

YES WE CAN!! ...finesse a financial system that doesn't only take from us, but gives back to us, based on our own SPECIFIC personal & collective positive energetic performance in life.

What you get is what you give- simple as that.

But to obtain this (nearly) heaven on earth, the education about how to inspire to, & harness the elephant of, optimum loving energy performance would be best had for free, not for a fee, ensuring it is (more likely) delivered in a non-partisan manner.

This free education will have necessary & appropriate cautions about 'biting off more than you can chew', & non-judgmental assistance for any who inadvertently do - those who do dance too early with the siren of serpent-like materialistic power, Ms Kundalini. What a lovely apple you have to share there !!

When we do bite off too much, all that results is an overpowerment, an ego inflation that is paradoxically a regression of one's consciousness into unconsciousness, as Carl Jung says. This always happens when an individual takes on too many 'unconscious contents' upon oneself & loses the faculty of positive discrimination.

However, there is no consciousness at all without discrimination between opposites.

This is OBVIOUSLY what has happened to a great many/most of the financial & political power elites whereby their ability to discriminate good from bad effects of their social & business policies have ended up skewed into almost pure negative discrimination, & greed/fear of loss is what has been manifested.

It is blindingly obvious that 'the trickle down effect' is a severely flawed premise & believing in this 'religion' has brought us to where we stand today - on the edge of global financial meltdown...not to mention an ecological meltdown directly related to above said greed/fear.

To start with, we MUST thus FIRST learn how to operate our own WHOLE brain-body to start with, educate ourselves (& 'the other') how to operate all 3 levels of reptilian, emotional & intellectual miracles of brain-matter we each possess, from which the 4th level of brain morphs into mind.

Metaphorical Logos marries Eros, & I/we will then begin to e/merge with/in 'mind at large', our higher Self, Great Spirit, or God if you prefer.

Homo Sapians can now evolve into Homo Sophia!!

This marriage of opposites melds soul-heart & mind-body into a successful creative union for the good of All.

However, any commercial educational enterprises that then succeeds from the All, (versus the quasi-success of the FREE education systems that are already VERY proven over the last few centuries, in various cultures), are to invest a minimum of 50% of their profits into other enterprises that are purely for the good of the wider community, again local through to global.

And it is now way past time & essential that our modes of mass communication & the media moguls that direct it will need be given an ethical 'code of conduct' that speaks for all parts of society to uphold.

For if we can't believe what we see/hear/feel/find in the 'News' of the medium of media that we are aligned to, then what can we trust? We need to be able to trust more than just our closest family & friends. We need to write the ethic of trust into something, perhaps even like a citizens code of conduct. Maybe there could be different codes we could adhere to that are treated, or taxed, in different ways depending upon how giving they are.

A GOOD EDUCATION SYSTEM would put debating about & enacting these type of solutions into the heart of all human endeavor. What good is an education if the outcome is not to evolve us into being more fully human? The Goal? The animate animal & the inanimate spirit at peace within us.

LETS move past using but 10% of our brain -hats of to Einstein but- & access 100% of MIND OVER MATTER. If this really matters to us we will put our minds to it- right? No child left behind should be everyone's birthright!

.......so in that outpouring of idea's is perhaps a genesis for another possible solution, &/or to be combined with the Lectro perhaps? Somewhere in this coming debate we will find many solutions, & the urgent task is to marry them into a gift of the greatest benefit for the weakest of those amongst us. Many, MANY, amazing people have already dedicated themselves to the attainment of similar goals. LETS all do it! "Why? Why not?" said Saint Timothy. For this is how we need to measure our humanity, our status in society must be reflected thus; not by how many dollars of personal wealth that you have retained, but by how much you have given away.

There is NO genuine debate on the justice of this call to action.

Start counting the calories & harvesting the kilojoules, & what better moment to start than now!

Give Michael Rivero at http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/LECTRO/lectro.php your very best idea's on how to create a more compassionate financial system, a vastly improved energy bank that empowers the very best of the individual human body, mind & soul to strive passionately for the good of One & All.

The Metta-Compassion Bank...an idea whose time has come.

It is often said 'we live in interesting times'.

LETS make them really interesting!

LETS allow the voice of compassion & love to 'direct the conversation'.

Fear & greed have been holding the reins for far too long & only perhaps 5% or fewer of sane intelligent, loving humans would be willing to say otherwise.

LET us consciously evolve into Homo Sophia, for the time for thinking about it is over- now we have but to act.

LET us be the change we wish to see in the world says Ghandi.

Kia kaha everyone.

Peace is Love,

pSi-pHi :-)

Peter Dunne - Another Hypocrite...

...sure I smoked pot 'a couple of times in the 70's'.

I got away with it, but if you try it today I am going to criminalize you for the rest of your life.

One law for me, a different law for you.

If people admit to 'victimless offences' in their past for which they would have been convicted of a crime if they had been caught, why do they have a free pass, a get of of jail free card, if they admit it 'today'??

Why is that?

And how are we supposed to take them seriously on the subject anymore?

Peter Dunne- hypocrite! Wake up Ohariu- vote him out this time round !

Start here, a fresh voice, for your education:

21/12/2012- What Does it Mean?

Namaste!
Jubilation perhaps...???...if we had a focus for this day what would you choose?

- universal healthcare & education for all?
- the passing away of poverty?
- local/national/regional/world peace?
- $10,000 gift for everyone?
- a new, truly sustainable energy source is unleashed?
- the aliens would finally land & rescue us from ourselves?
- global cataclysm wiping earth free of the human virus so Gaia can start fresh?

Well, it seems to me that there are elements of worthiness in all of the above, but what is incidiously everywhere & has its tentacles wrapped around almost all human endevour?

DEBT, by way of usury, pushed by a lost & corrupted banking system, that SOMEHOW seems to believe that if we just borrow just a bit more, then 'it'll all be ok'. Well that's what 'they' want us to believe, 'they' being those power elite that pull the global financial strings that the political puppets dance to.

Solution? Is there one to such a labyrinthine system?

A simple solution is always the best.

How can we dilute down this debt behemoth that is threatening to swamp the world in a king-tide of disheartment, quickly leading to depression, both of the soul & soon after the economy everywhere?

Have a Jubilee is what I suggest. In the 'biblical' version of the term where, amongst general forgiveness of sin, there would be debt forgiveness as the primary focus.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubilee_(Christianity)

But to forgive all debt would throw the whole world banking & trading system into chaos, so there would best be a transition from a system of debt to a system of savings.

For which I propose the Compassion Metta-Bank be established. Metta is intentional, & yet also suggests that it is a meta-physical event in its own right, where we bank our own loving kindness energy to share with others.

I've only been thinking this thru the last few weeks in full, but the idea is ROUGHLY to take the concept of 'Credit Unions' & turn it on its head to be a 'Savings Union'.

Here are some thoughts on how it might work- 2nd draft!! (1st was in my diary).

ALL profits are generated by the individual loaning money/energy to themselves, meaning for example:

- you make a $100 deposit into a trust a/c that is for YOU ALONE.
- the maximum you can borrow @ any one time is 25%, i.e $25.
- the $25 is lent to YOURSELF @ 1% interest; highly affordable, with repayment time limits agreed.
- it is easy to pay back the $25+1%.
- you can borrow again, but only 1/2 as much, 12.5%, now @ 2% interest.
- & 1/2 again 6.25%, now @ 3% interest
- 3.125% @ 4% interest.

- by about now one gets stuck with vanishingly small returns, so its a disincentive to borrow any more, & if you add 25% + 12.5% + 6.25% + 3.125% = 46.875% meaning that borrowing any more than 50% of your original $100 deposit is impossible, so @ worst you will always have 50% of your earnings...philerosophi.

- in this manner you borrow against yourself, against your own energy levels you need to reimburse yourself & because you are borrowing from yourself, the interest you earn from this borrowing, although small, is paid directly back to yourself, on a scale appropriate to the risk, i.e. the more you borrow, the higher the interest rate, just like how banking works right now.

- interest rates too low at 1/2/3/4%?? This is just philerosophi's essential 4-fold structure. If you want MORE, & you should be very careful & aware of why you would want more, then up the ante into the next loop of the spiral 2/4/6/8% if you wish. You may gain or lose more personal energy more quickly, but be mindful of the potential of power to corrupt...however as the basic rule of 25%/12.5%/6.25%/3.15% etc restrains us within the 50% safety net, one's personal bank can never go bust, as it were.

- all profits are socialised back to yourself, not the current 'private shareholders' of existing banks, & debt is fully controlled by your own inclination to pay YOURSELF back.

- but how do you get that initial $100 dollar start of loan balance?

- take the existing banking system & gradually transition away from it by paying yourself a 'seed money' deposit, at an energy level sustainable to yourself.

- it may take a while to build up a head of steam, but ultimately it is a system of financial equity building that is solely reliant on one OWN efforts to make the most of it.

- after you have saved up a significant balance towards your retirement you can choose to invest in 'the marketplace', under the same t&c's of interest as above, using the same interest rate structure, & again the same limitations so the most you can ever lose/invest is 50% of your monetized energy savings you gift to yourself.

- we can still have a superannuation scheme for those who for whatever reason fall on hard times, but in theory (which I know won't match the practice) one will always retain a minimum 50% of savings, however if you don't use the scheme, that would be 50% of zero, thus the need for the pension.

- you could incentivize it by having a bonus scheme for those that save really well, the easiest incentive of cause, is to reduce one's tax x amount, based on one's self made savings.

Time for bed- gotta catch 7am bus to day meditation retreat tomorrow & its already 1145pm.

More tomorrow, actually staying at friends place tomorrow, so likely Saturday or Sunday after retreat is over.

Peace is love.

Is Dr Frankenstein in the room?

Time to resurrect the hero of the story, Adam, I created a few years back...I am trying to encourage myself to do so, oh yes I am, but the time, the time, the time...
