I Know You Won't Read This......

...line for line and word for word, so why do I bother? Well, here goes anyway, because I have a deep faith in the human psyche with both the conscious and the subconscious absorbing knowledge and rendering the birth of wisdom that this process eventually achieves, even if only by the process of osmosis. --------------------------------------------------------------Now Comes the Eclipse Of Our Discontent------------------------------------------------------------------------- We're told results are what matters and it is often true that good results will ameliorate the impact of a lot of questionable behavior. It is also true that history is written by the victors. They say size matters too. They say that every dog must have its day. At the same time the size of the dog in the fight and the size of the fight in the dog are often strongly influenced by a home court advantage; just as it is on the playing fields of Washington if the sport happens to be Lobbying or Politics. Aphorisms, like so many things, have corresponding poles. And just as it is the case of metaphysics it often proves to be in real life; in math and in art, that two poles create a third, which postulates another opposition to that new pole whose fruit is yet another pole and so on and so on. Which is how you can get deeper into things; how you can understand what someone means behind the appearance of their words, how you can understand math and art and sometimes penetrate into the secrets of the human heart; possibly all the way to the gates of the Divine. We often stop far short of what we could have learned about anything. We very often miss the connections between what we are studying, contemplating, and seeing… and everything else in the world and in ourselves. This brings me to the tangled web so many weave. It brings me to results unforeseen and unintended on the parts of those who had all the reference points and advisers in the world to point out to them the things that you and I and some others knew from the very beginning; without the need for those ill-advised advisers. Good advice is only good advice if the motivation pushing it has correctly predicted the best results for justifying the bad behavior employed to the argued result. Good advice is only as good as the results. Good advice is a very subjective thing. Most of the time the best advice is to do nothing; to think and reflect, to study yourself first; and what you are contemplating, after… even though we have heard, "those who hesitate are lost." In the case of the case I am addressing; going to be addressing, hesitation would have lost nothing. But of course in this case, self-inquiry was not a consideration. It was more a graphic example of the male goat seeking the promise of sexual congress. It's an observable truth that male goats urinate all over themselves in the process of getting to it. I find the mythic implications ironic here; goats… horns… pissing… sex… results . Long ago (just before the Iraq invasion) in a small forum far away, it was pointed out a few things about the case I'm addressing. Some of the things that were pointed out and that were at great pains pointed out over and over and over again were; there were no weapons of mass destruction, that the Muslim fundamentalists- being the most organized and pervasive influence about- would become the power, and that Iraq would naturally split into three demographics which would effectively create what would amount to three separate countries. That would be one for the Shia and one for the Sunni and one for the Kurds. We have heard, over and over and over about, "staying the course." We have heard about free elections and democracy and we have heard whatever was possible in the realm of hyperbole in terms of the grand ideals of the kingdom of materialism in its altruistic largess for the great oppressed, unwashed at a distance... neighbors and brothers and sisters of Iraq. We've had funny math that compute more than 7.5 dead Iraqis as actually equaling 1 dead Iraqi. We've had a whole lot of things and we've had some curious results… but the real results were always off in the distance; seen through the wise and compassionate, far reaching and visionary eyes of the Mad Hatter with the Shroud of Turin elbow patches on his "commander-in-chief" bomber jacket. So, the results are coming in and, as Gomer Pyle might have said, "Well, suuurprise, suuurprise!" Rather than argue the case I am just going to give you a link here, ( http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/article334476.ece ), and here (http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/AE85A874-2D60-4564-B2A7-0A314E2D426D.htm ), and you can read some of what you are going to be reading more and more about soon; or not… you might get your news through MSM filters or re-shaped to reflect party-line propaganda that represented how it might look if you leaned over real hard and then bent down, grabbed your ankles and looked between your legs while holding your breath and closing one eye with the goats circling in from behind. I've watched people spin this and spin that with the net result of a folded, mutilated origami model that got some passionate attention from the aforementioned goats (e.g. the truth got SCREWED by the spinmeisters). You'll probably want to read those links so that you can get an idea of the case I am making. Then again, it may be immaterial to my point; which is not the same as the case I am making except that they touch, as all things touch and are in related communication in the world where everything is made out of the same stuff. Some have had the majestic hubris to refer to Captain Flight Deck as a spiritual or religious man. I suppose his constant church attendance might speak to that, to a degree. Then again, observing his works would certainly tell us something. And still yet again, his associates and their collective intentions can and do tell us something. Results (or the obvious lack of). Period. Do definitely tell us something. We've been told we must support the dupes-in-chief. We've had many a flag, after the goats of corporate media got through with them, waved in our faces. We've… we've… WE'VE BEEN HAD… ...or not. Some fight, some flee, some flee to fight, and some… well, yeah. The God that Captain Mission Accomplished refers to does not exist. I can tell you with real authority that this Bushlings' God does not exist. I can tell you that the God of Pat Robertson and many, many of the organizational front-bots for the Hollywood façade of a God tangled in the two by four supports behind the well worn mask of the hypocritical born-again greed-loving and materialistic evangelical idolaters that are deceiving the wanting-to-believe-in-something-sheeple, does not exist. I can tell you that the God of the Wahabi Muslims does not exist. I can tell you that the God of the Zionist Jews does not exist. I can tell you that 99% of the God they define is either non-existent or a badly drawn caricature. What I cannot tell you is, what God Is. But I still know the difference, however. For quite a very long time there have been… how shall I put this? There have been impostors… monkeys in the mirror… poseurs… astral con artists and elemental forces of considerable powers; such as you might see in the wind and the waters and the like, who have put upon themselves the costume of The One, or say they represent The Way. And this accounts for the real results of history in this world. This accounts for the grief… the blood and the iron shackles and the courtrooms and fires, the bombs and the screams and the tears. Because every false God has its particular preferred sacrifice; it's 'burnt offerings' if you will. Did you really think that a God of transcendent radiance far, far beyond our comprehension would be attracted to this vast landfill… by the smoke and stench of burning flesh? Who might be attracted to such a thing? …This everlasting Hell on Earth. The most pleasant offering, however, is a contrite human heart, its offering of unconditional love and the service provoked thereby; if you're talking about The One and Only God, our collective Father of all dimensions. If you're talking about the others, well, just take a look around. The key to The One is the restoration of the true Regent to the Throne. Following that, it is all 'self' explanatory. Everything and everyone else who aspires to or actually ascends on the throne prior to this restoration speaks for itself… in every evil way. Do you imagine in your anthropomorphic dreaming that God is really just a big YOU? Isn't that how most people see God; a God who can't be seen... …As a larger version of themselves? Could anyone imagine that God would be represented by men dressed up like certain rock personalities in concert? It's funny when you read the so called actual words of The One from historical texts and compare them to the actions that got interpreted by men; how the letter of the thing changed and became the result. Does the end really justify the means; because an eye for an eye… is no loving, understanding, compassionate way for an incomprehensibly superior immortal being to reward His children. That's how you get God on your side, with your heart, by looking inward to discover your own spirituality; not by vainly searching outward and having someone else tell you how to live and when to pray. When you wonder how obvious hypocrites can reconcile scripture with bad actions… wonder no more. Call it what you will. Don't call it at all. Go on with your business in your brief hour or inquire as deep as your heart may compel… we all must do something. There is something deep in the mix… deep in the center of all things; creating an empty vessel out of itself under every novice potters hand, to be filled to overflowing... as...a demonstration… of witness… for others… that it makes everything, regardless of intentions and results, serve to demonstrate that there is something deep in the mix… deep in the center of all things. We may not see the mover but we do see the things that are moved. It certainly is everlastingly fascinating. And, it certainly isn't over; except for that timeless battle between good and evil. That was won long ago. It's the preposterous idea that it could be otherwise that accounts for everything else ongoing. It's time to wake up and take account of the condition that our condition is in. I can see that the usurpers of power on this planet have plundered and pillaged, wrecked and divided humanity to such a degree that we fear not only fear itself, but also the invisible bogeymen that our war-loving leaders have invented to scare us… for the submission of our liberties that will lead to the loss of every quality that defines us as human. For a long, long time; longer than any of us can remember and far longer than it has been recorded, humanity, or what passes for humanity, has believed in demonic possession as the cause of insanity and aberrant behavior. Basically, the devil made them do it. On a parallel course there has been the consideration; maybe it came from the Greeks and maybe the Greeks got it from somebody else- that a lot of people's problems had to do with the way certain internal forces combined. The Id and the Ego, the super-ego, the libido and persona and the way they operated with and against each other were the causes of problems and conditions; though they may have named them differently at the time. Not so long ago, with the birth and refinement of certain sciences like psychology and psychiatry, the general world view was that personal problems were just that; personal problems. They came out of the way people were raised, and how they adapted or didn't adapt to society. Then along came sociologists to add their two cents; adjusted for inflation. Still, coreligionists and cults and the esoteric world continued to state that there were more supernatural reasons for human behavior; these ranged from the ridiculous interpretations of the purely dogmatic; the Rush Limbaugh as Father Flanagan mindsets… to the pronouncements of the Theosophists and New Thought movement. In our modern times we have suspect new systems like Scientology and The First Church of Satan, along with things like The Solar Temple and the Raelians; these latter constructs bear enough similarity to each other that they could probably combine without too much conflict in doctrine. Society is made up of people. People with similarities in purpose and principle make up societies. People with conflicting purposes and principles also make up societies. Just as the thoughts in a person's head can be considered the individuals that make up the society of the person, people are themselves individual thoughts in the body of society. You get rules and regulations that define the permissible parameters of action on the part of these 'thoughts' as they move through the mind of the society. The cells in the human body make up societies within the systems that also make up societies within the body. They are complex things whether the system is large or small. Wars in the larger society are mirrors of wars in the smaller societies. Systems war against systems in the human body; cells war against cells. People kill themselves and each other, often working at both simultaneously. One strange feature is how the tiniest systems are composed of the same features and symmetries of behavior as the largest systems and that they are all made out of the same basic stuff; but is it THAT strange? The only anomaly is in the human system and how it fails to adapt within all the other systems, which… may actually be only one system after all. Like clockwork, people appear in society bearing new ideas. Let the record of history show what happens to these people. If the person heralds a message that suggests changes in a social system and those changes are based on the greatest good for the greatest number of people, that person is usually subject to tremendous resistance on the part of those individuals maintaining the status-quo who operate the control machinery of the society in which the new suggestion takes place. Reflexively the larger body of society joins in this resistance at the encouragement of their controllers, much like lemmings following the leader over the dam to their imminent demise. But, if the person appearing has a system or practice that benefits only a small group of individuals, beginning with themselves… or seeks to introduce a political system that means no good for humanity in any location where it is introduced, that individual usually finds a large support system for their venue. And regardless of the evidence of the past in respect of these things, off they go to power and riches; negativity prevails over positive constructs, thoughts and actions. Is it some evil in the basic makeup of humanity that continuously permits what is contrary for their own good to flourish? Are there living forces, invisible or otherwise, that are not human, which engineer these conditions and cause them to flourish? Philosophers of all stripes have argued about this for a long, long time. Sociologists and economists and representatives of every area of speculation upon the nature of human events all have their ideas of what and why. Most of them have their own agendas, too. My question to you is; does it matter if it is demons or psychological components who urge a large portion of humanity to their destruction? Does it matter which one you believe to be the cause? Is it possible that the focus of the former is the manipulation of the latter? Those schools of thought that argue for demons also include angels as agents of a divine regent. The rational schools maintain that the regent is all powerful. This implies that anything and everything that happens and exists, does so by permission of the regent. You can take all of this and re-interpret it into a psychological system, with you as the regent, and get the same thing. In the one case a God is responsible and in the other, you are. There is The God or, you are the spiritual being. It is also possible, once again, that both of these are true, coexisting simultaneously. Possibly the problem with defining what is true is, most likely, that more than one thing is true; that contradictory things are eternal and true, hence the example of yin/yang, plus/minus, good/evil, God/Satan; "opposites attract" - is the point that must be emphasized here, one half can't exist without it's opposing force. It's also possible and likely, that one's definition of things turns out to be the system by which one's life is defined, and by which one's fate is determined. Does it matter whether the president of the United States is insane, or possessed? Insanity seems to be contagious. We note that demonic possession has often proved to be contagious as well; regardless of the proof of the alleged demonic possessor. Sure, there's Jim Jones and his suicidal followers, and all those Hindu's who used to march into the ocean by the hundreds and feed themselves to the sharks, and then there are those entire countries and societies that used to be but aren't now. Religions seem to possess a great propensity for both insanity and demonic possession, that mostly being their central issue. We've seen the madness sweep across the plains/planes. A certain psychiatrist would have told you that this had something to do with the sex force being bent through inadequate tubing or directed wrongly according to misapplied pressures. Political systems are the same. My observations have led me to conclude that very few people are sane and that very few people are not possessed, and that those non-afflicted individuals are in a constant danger from the inmates of the asylum. My observations have indicated to me that sane people have to pretend to be insane while moving through dangerous coordinates. Unfortunately for some of these sane individuals there is an impetus toward healing others that are afflicted, and enlightenment through discovery and creation. It may be that the inclination for healing is a calling that some feel is uncalled for and that the eternal quest for enlightenment is forever premature. So how can you tell who is sane… but possessed of a higher, rather than a lower order? You can judge this by the amount of people laughing at him, or mocking it, or being enraged by her. Why do systems allegedly set up for the greater benefit of all always seek to kill those individuals who work for the implementation of the essential tenets of the system; whether it be a custom, a creed or a constitution? A current example of this is the soldiers who have volunteered to protect our national interests, but they are the ones to be slaughtered first. If certain principles such as truth and the pursuits thereof are collectively agreed upon to be in our best interest… to discover all that our Creator has bestowed upon us as human beings on this Earth that is to be used for our physical and spiritual nourishment, including all politically incorrect plant species; to be right and fair then would be the ideal; why are those who work on behalf of, and in the interest of the spirit of these principles and pursuits so often jailed, exiled, tortured, and killed? How can a system that espouses such particular principles as life, liberty and truth use those principles against themselves… and still go on appearing representative of those principles? How can our (un)selected representatives of "we the people" kill and murder innocents; "protect" us by diminishing our constitutional rights: claim "national security" as their method to keep dubious actions secret; lie about there even being any reason for question and when caught in the lie, continue to even lie about the lie… thus compounding their duplicity. How can simple truths be interpreted in so many diverse ways to justify something; anything at all? Why does a society that includes some amount of intelligent members, consistently allow for the worst exceptions to the commonly accepted principles to flourish? Indeed, and how can they applaud those examples as well? Would you call this insanity, or possession..? ...Does it matter? It does if by your very nature you question everything, accept nothing as fact until proven beyond all doubt… and you can unequivocally read between the lines!! But, if you choose to organize yourself by burying your head in the sand similar to the lifestyle of an ostrich, then the jokesonyou and you may not live to regret your untimely indecisive nondecision of uninspired noncompliance.
