Betrayed

Perhaps, you have had the personal experience of someone you trusted, a wife, close friend, a son, doctor, or business partner, doing ‘something’ that harmed you, even deeply, knowing what they were doing. I have, more than once. The feeling is betrayal.

If you can, I ask you to reincarnate that feeling of personal trust betrayed, or imagine what it must feel like, and magnify it, apply it to 7.9 billion people, each one just like yourself, just like your wife, husband, and precious son or daughter.

How do I live?

That, indeed, is the question.

First, we must distinguish between the virtual reality thought and imagination create and lived, embodied, direct perception with its own qualities and knowing. Nature intended us to live in this embodied, present, immediate state of direct ‘knowing,’ and use thought as a creative tool in the service of this, our true ground and nature. Love, compassion, empathy, wisdom, appropriateness, care, attention, joy, ecstasy, beauty, telepathic resonance, immanence (the sacred that permeates all of nature), feeling our interdependent-entanglement with all of nature, all abide in this realm and all these are absent in the dream we falsely consider to be ‘reality.’

Canceled Due to Lack of Interest

Speaking with James W. Prescott today, now in his late 80s, after more than fifty years of passionate scientific research into the embodied roots of love and violence, I shared the essence of my last conversation with Ashley Montagu, of similar tenure, with over fifty books on being human.

Exploring the Life and Insights of Joseph Chilton Pearce

Perhaps the greatest obstacle we each face is the open-ended nature of true intelligence and wisdom, as opposed to knowledge and imagination. Real development is not the accumulation of knowledge. He or she with the largest flash drive is not the most developed, the best human possible.

What does it mean to be a human being? What are the astonishing capacities that make being human unique in all the world, perhaps in all the worlds? What are the self-inflicted limitations that prevent those capacities from unfolding? Is there anything that can be done to take the lid off of our own, and our children’s, true development? Why, after millennia haven’t we become more than we are? Is it becoming even harder, with each new development, to discover, awaken and develop the miraculous gifts nature has hidden in each of us? Which side is winning; the dark or the light?

The Essence of Krishnamurti’s Teachings

All 250,000 pages can be summarized in a few words.

Freedom from the Known. One enlightenment, not 31 flavors. Truth is a Pathless Land and Choiceless Awareness. When two people observe with the same intensity, freedom and clarity, they see the same thing. JK

Termites

Those driving the brand called COVID are like termites. The real damage is done in darkness, beneath the surface, relentlessly. What we see, 99.99% scripted media, is all surface. A dreamlike-nightmare. Everything is twisted; good is bad, bad is good, counting cases not illness, sleepwalking psychoses, sane is crazy and crazy insisting it is sane. The new normal.

Like the US Civil War, the lines have been drawn. Hidden behind useless masks it’s hard to tell; Yankee or Rebel? But then we see a glimpse:

Rediscovering Our Missing Mind

Civilized societies, which began perhaps around 10,000 years ago, make up less than one percent of humanity’s presence on the planet. Prior to the gradual emergence of herding and farming communities, over 95% of humanity’s existence was spent as small-band hunter-gatherers. As the neocortex grew, with its astonishing capacity to create inner images not present to the senses, abstracted images filled human consciousness, pushing aside nearly all ‘other’ ways of knowing and relating. As abstract knowledge grew, so did its power to enchant. We lost track of what the mind is doing and assumed the image is real. Reification created a false virtual reality, mistaken as real, in which past knowledge, culture, personal identity, and ego, with their implicit conflicts, dominate. Technology magnified the excluding nature of this virtual reality, amplifying and broadcasting it simultaneously around the world, capturing humanity in a homogenized Global Brain, that is dominated by an easily manipulated artificial reality.
