"Who Is Really To Blame For Our Violent World ? – Russell Brand"

http://educateinspirechange.org/alternative-news/really-blame-violent-world-russell-brand/

..my 10 cents for the evening...

...with a 2016 twist of flourish below... smile emoticon

A Very Good vdo from the pSi archives a year or so ago & ever more relevant daily...worth watching regardless of how one feels about Brand personally...

Brand [i wear it on my sleeve = my moral paradox] shreds the military-industrial complex (MIC), including its extraordinary hubris & hypocrisy, in this *great* 8.06 vdo above...does include an interesting clip of Obama on religious violence i had not seen before...[remember 'yes we can' bro?]

& we are now, today, far beyond this...they/we did not listen...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisenhower's_farewell_address

Paraphrasing dramatically, Brand says something similar to the below...so many paths...One...love...

...that the MIC 'complex' is so too fast re-co-evolving with 'the state', that it has strongly captured the dark side of the public's imagination & for too long a time already, has managed to manifest its toxic 'complex' into the delicate web of Homo Sapiens [un]mindful exploration/response [sub]awareness on a near global scale...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_%28psychology%29

...the MIC 'complex' has intentionally triggered the human fight/flight/float/fantastically soft-wired-epi-genetic-selfish-ego-individual-tribal-socio-political-spiritual-love consciousness magical miracle wave we are surfing both within & without...

...greater than is possible to imagine, i can imagine, unto ourselves, in a potentially delightful, but in an unfortunately actually, devastating manner, such that most people are the authors of our own extremes of suffering, myself included...

...however the opportunity is always there to continue to shine the light...

Brand makes an excellent reasoning- Ja Rastafari! - (why not? Its foundation myths & ongoing beliefs system are still *someones projected imagination* manifested by the CULTures followers; similar in this regards to ALL superstition/consensus realities/laws/religions) against blind sheepishness & exhorts us to [excitably, if you were to follow his own example] struggle through the birth/growing pains of each of our 'beautiful minds', especially in the epi-genetic ego (E.G.E) 'anti-Om' sticking points within the spiral, whilst being stronghearted in the faith that there is a multitude of paths into global peace & love on Gaia...

Whilst all paths are *spiritualised* in love, some however must be repeatedly repudiated to lead a healthy & happy long-lived material human existence...

Deliberate violence to others both/& in/directly, to name the most blindingly urgent 'complex' of spiritual corruption to address &, 'in spirit', one can intensely study the awareness of the Om moment...the samadhi moment...find the best place to focus on upon within the personal satori spiral, resolve the pain, & massage our mind-hearts back into...One...love...

...the mind is beautiful, but we must also be within awareness, as 'one' can also get lost within The One...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Beautiful_Mind_%28book%29

...we can, we must, do much way better than Eisenhower managed in his actions...although he had good vision...

...start here in the phrase below..the brass tacks...get down into the radicle self...the roots of the ego/body-mind/soul that must be actively cultivated to actualize the most beautiful Garden of Eden...

...conscious re-evolution is thus ***the call to action***, via the most 'obvious' vector...

***..."imagination decides everything"...***

...uttered 400 years ago...

...let it really sink in...really sink in...

...this is the *crux* of the matter we unconsciously crucify ourselves within daily...the eternal struggle of the ensouled body for both material AND spiritual coherence...the danger being that the yin-yang spiral becomes an endlessly hypnotic fe/male duality if it is looked at from only a partial one-eyed perspective on the rainbow spectrum...spinning beyond trinity into multiplicity more easily than we are usually aware...& we can soon become bedazzled by the pretty bells, whistles & trinkets we find along the way, rather than remaining focused on the seeking after of the truth of becoming embodied loving compassion...

...you have to be both that near invisible rainbow on the event horizon that is birthed, & then rapidly blended from 'the afar' into infrared base chakra, AND follow the flow thru into the blessed 'human torus', into the ultraviolet 'crown' chakra, then dissolving again into the 'death' in infinity in the beyond...whilst cycling back into the torus to be born once again...black hole surfing the singularity paradox that is life, from birth to death, & back again, with every breathing moment...follow the breath...breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakra

...we've known this in a mystic sense for millennia, initially by singularly exceptional prophets of their times...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_Age

...then, increasingly more commonly, the pan CULTural, Gaia wide alchemical mystic 'misfits' ever since...here's a very small *partial* list...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alchemists

...sadly the Axial Age has given way to the 'Axis of Evil' that is The War OF Terror...those who masturbate over the biggest weapons inventories & profit margins ['its only business'] are wide open to their own hypocrisy, but are beyond caring & it's now even almost celebrated in a grotesque way in (especially?) 'Western' CULTures fascination with violence in all its guises, right to left across the individual-societal spectrum...

...clearly it has long since become spell-bounding to behold; look at us all...!!

...& is also the cause of the greatest quantity of global pain & suffering...generating vast quantities of useless energy-sapping shame & guilt...

...why are 'we' so caught within it...??????

...if it's only our collective 'imagination', why is it so hard to break the spell...??

...'why not' [thanks Saint Tim] lets evolve into a new sub-species, maybe try being say 'Femina Sophia', & give the 'universal female values' a take at the wheel from the Alpha male tradition...??

...the Beta version is slumbering within us all, so lets release the compassionate heart, truly SEE that all of us are someone else's children & embrace the fear of ego annihilation anyway...it is the 'death' the Axial prophets all obliquely referred to...

...its past time to admit that our epi-genetic ego's are open to violent, benign, & beneficial imagination...'why not' deal with the erratic tendencies, & transmute the fear/pain into love/pleasure...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fana_%28Sufism%29

...our fears manifest the the tendency towards malevolent selfish material genetics, isolation, whilst our love manifests the tendency towards the altruistic spiritual self, community...

...they are co-dependent, however, our imagination can easily be encouraged & rewarded to enjoy compassionate community...just have to face our fear/s of death in all its forms...

...theory is easy...starting here, below, helps in understanding the mind-hearts relationships, across all of the selfs-Self...

http://www.psychforums.com/relationship/topic84035.html

...i submit that one has to consciously repudiate the corrupted 'consensus reality' we are submerged within, & passionately surge out into the limitless horizons that we, you & i, are the only *authority* who has the power to limit the extent of our own imagination for exploring...

...for this, it is often most effective to indeed wear ones heart on ones sleeve & embrace vulnerability...it hurts, but it works...indeed it works extremely well...but it's not easy & it hurts...did i say it hurts...??...

https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_on_vulnerability…

...about now on the journey, one realizes a/nother re-evolved script of Unified beingness is required, & very soon we can imagine *love* as the expression of the invisible strands of the eternal spiral that binds compassionate community together...

...however, on a personal level, we each need to 'write our own script', & for that it can be extremely helpful to *author* a coherent personal ideology, to support the voyage across history/future eternal, & that will resist the corrupting affliction of loss of personal & cultural memory...

...who wants [much of] recent history to repeat itself anyway, or even rhyme...???...how can i re-mind myself of a more coherent healthy way...??...write it down...

...& for that i am nearly complete [for now enough anyway] in my own personal offering...thus...

...the 1+e, philerosophi-e, spiral is my about to be coherently espoused (i hope!!), path of *love* i have relearned from atop the shoulders of friendly giants, & as i have often fallen, i have also been mostly lucky in dodging being stomped on by small-minded, mental-mess people i have had the pleasure/pain to meet along the way...in that regards, both the vista's & scars make the story more interesting anyway...!!

...philerosophi-e...more coming soon...

...the oldest 'foundation myths' of 1+e are to be found are in my hand written diary, c.2002-3, but 1st translated into cyberspace on my old/current blog that you, as i/I, are reading at this moment...

...& much more frequently of more recent years on my FB page...some of which is copied to here...

...seems tonight its time to bring it all into coherence...simple as 1,2.3...1+e ! & thus ! we all are !...

...if me, myself, i do say so myself...One...love...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tat_Tvam_Asi

...if we really do want our imagination to co-author everything, an im/personal manifesto is most helpful in order to sort the chaff from the fractal chaos & co-create patterned, melodic, harmonious order to the music that Universal mind sings reality into being with, from out of the silence of space...

...we are such clever monkeys...

...astronauts every one of us on Spaceship Earth...we are as crew on this 'rocket ship', *all* co-dependent on each other for our survival...along with all the rest of the Gaian ecology of life...

...what will it take, only about 10% says the science, surely we are there already...??...what is holding us back...

...is it me...??

http://freakonomics.com/…/minority-rules-why-10-percent-is…/

...the wishful wave is everywhere, i/we need to magic it real...better get writing...

...lets dance... :-)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Practical_Mysticism

...final *be aware* reminder...as already stated, it is easy to get quite 'lost' in the mix...extracting oneself from the place of inertia between bliss & despair is an ongoing fitness routine, a constant clarion call to action...it's a big place, 'The One'...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysticism

...but with coherent belief in ones own story of pain & com/passion, magic does happen...lets all hope for miracles too...

...finally, to ref the famous Goethe quote...

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back — concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:

that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.

**Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now"**

...real or not, ones imagination knows it to be true...taking the path of commitment certainly does produce results, but the challenge is always containing the coherence, always, in all ways...

...as noted ^up there^, more soon...getting coherent...
