And indeed, all of us that have studied the research and
started investigating in self-honesty what and how we have become, realize that –
as the Desteni research has been indicating from the beginning, and as one can
see in the meantime through various documentaries as well, like
The Century of the Self, and also documentaries like The
Power Principle, Human
Resource, The Trap, Manufacturing
Consent, The
Story of Your Enslavement, Blind Spot, –
the
systems and the ego are in control of your mind and the thoughts you are having
are not created by you, and that listening to the thoughts brought-up by your conditioned
consciousness or even talking to these thoughts is a serious problem and only
perpetuates one’s ego consciousness and one’s separation from life, one’s
separation from oneself as life.
So, this is a serious task ahead, one that we’ve been
walking for years now with the Desteni group, and more and more people are
realizing the obvious common sense –that which we are too brainwashed to see,
that which we can’t see because we are
it –, and even those who at first didn’t wanna hear this and didn’t want to
face themselves or make the effort to introspect in self-honesty, are later
returning to the forums saying that hey, I realize now it was my ego that kept
me from seeing, or hey, I was just so stubborn and didn’t want to admit that I
was just looking for a quick-fix, etc., so they then begin using the tools and
the material to support themselves, to sort themselves out and get to
self-honesty and common sense.
I mean, we –each one of us in this world– are the building
blocks of the system, we create this world, it is OUR creation – in our image
and likeness. And the world is in serious trouble. No one is gonna sort it out,
unless we do!
And a very important point within this all is that we learn
to work together, realizing that Life is interconnected, and each part of life
affects every other part of life. And unless we can work together on a common
solution for our common ground that is this Earth, in the common interest that
we all share which is Life, any solution will not be sustainable and will only
benefit some while it will place others in disadvantage.
That is why we walk this process each one individually – yet
together as a group, realizing that ultimately there must be only One group,
Humanity as Life, and there ARE practical ways to stop our separation and
realize Life on Earth as oneness and equality – Best for ALL.
A summary of my previous posts (links at the top) for reference:
If Self is the life that we were born as, ready to expand to
its full potential, and Consciousness is the limited, systematic versions of Self
that we become in the process of ‘fitting’ into the System ...
then our Self as Life has become Consciousness as the System
... and has trapped itself and everyone else within and as it.
And you’ll notice an interesting thing, namely that all
motivation/drive in this world is conditioned to function based on one thing:
Energy = which is about “What can I get out of it?”
So one’s motivation/drive is gonna be based on money, fame,
sex, power, ‘feeling good’ about oneself, being seen as a ‘good person’ – all
the things that constitute self-interest. That is what drives us.
And that is how the Consciousness we become – the system
personalities programmed and conditioned to survive and preserve self-interest –
suppresses and constricts the life within Self, the very life of Self – that
spark of passion, that spark of self-drive, that common sense that considers
not only oneself but everyone and everything involved, that force that wants to
live, express, expand and be free.
Instead of using the mind as a tool to manage ourselves and
our physical reality best, it seems that the mind is using us; just like the
system uses human resources to keep the system running, it’s like the
mind/consciousness uses the Self to keep itself as a system and its programs running.
The separation is evident, and yet it’s not that we can now
just blame the mind or blame the system and just see ourselves as victims, that
would be plain stupid. I mean, the system, the consciousness – does not exist
without our acceptance and permission. The patterns we exist within, that
habits that inhabit us, do not exist without our doing, without our acceptance
and allowance.
Self-interest has in fact become our nature. Human nature is
the nature of a system of abuse. It is obvious common sense, one only has to
take a self-honest look at the world and investigate the ‘terms and conditions’
under which everything functions.
And it’s interesting because one can call it ‘my way’, or ‘habit’,
or the ‘safety’ of one’s comfort-zone, or laziness, one can call it all kinds
of stuff, but all of that is in essence one simple point: convenience.
And I mean have a look where convenience takes us: it keeps
history repeating, on individual and on collective level.
The only thing that stands in our way of expressing,
exploring and expanding ourselves as life, to our full potential, is our own
minds.
And at the same time, the only thing that stands in the way
of establishing this world to its full potential as a Home for Life, is
ourselves – our nature of/as self-interest.
One must investigate one’s justifications and excuses, because
those justifications and excuses is how one sabotages oneself within and as the
mind, through/as consciousness, into remaining within one’s ‘convenience’.
And within such process, one will also reveal to oneself
what it is that one has placed value into, what it is that one doesn’t want to
give-up. But as you re-evaluate and assess and examine these things in
self-honesty, you’ll inevitably realize that all you’re hanging-onto is
basically constituting your own limitation. Giving it up is basically to give
up nothing for everything. Because within that, you are giving yourself the
freedom to explore everything and expand yourself.
So you’ll find that this point is inevitable: re-evaluating
and assessing and examining whether that which you have placed value in (eg.
convenience, certain beliefs, certain emotions/feelings, the perceived ‘safety’
of one’s consciousness design, one’s comfort-zone) is indeed worth valuing, or
whether your expression and expansion as life is more valuable, even if it
means you have to make the effort and drive yourself, move yourself, push yourself
to step beyond your accepted limitations.
Obviously within the current system there are people that do
not even have the minimum requirements for a life in dignity and cannot even conceive
of the idea of expression, expansion, exploration; and neither would you if you
were existing at the brink of starvation, in hunger and poverty.
So this is a main issue to address in our world and find
sustainable solutions for, but even for that (to understand the problems and find
and implement solutions) it seems we have to move beyond our accepted
limitations and certainly beyond our self-interest!
Unless we do everything in our power to have an influence in
this world that will impact reality towards a change that is best for all,
towards a transformation of our systems so that all systems of human existence can
in fact support life, and not only the profit of a select few; unless we, the
people, dare to stand in positions of influence, each one according to their
own talents and abilities, expanding these to a level of excellence and
practical common sense, to be able to stand as an example and show what is
possible, show what there is much to learn and to consider; unless we MOVE
ourselves –
nothing is gonna move, nothing is gonna change for the
better, and instead the world will keep on following its path of
self-destruction, as we have programmed it through our consumerism existence
wherein we consume this world, this earth, ourselves and each-other, all
according to what we are consumed by within our minds/consciousness, with all
kinds of fears, wants and desires – a pre-programmed design that so ‘nicely’ has
been accentuated by all kinds of propaganda, brainwashing and mind control in a
process of establishing capitalism as consumerism, under the dictatorship of a
corporate elite.
That System wants
you to ‘feel convenient’, and it wants to remain
‘convenient’. That only serves the
System, not Life.
