SAD and angry....
Want to challenge bourgeois, good. But when capitalists suppress the workers, when e-voting which against the spirit of secret ballot and democracy implemented, when unfair discrimination happen between political ideology, stand, race, nationality,religion, region,gender,when authority miss use their power, when exploitation between class,group or people happen, when lack of freedom happen, when the cruelty of poverty happen..cancer of corruption.....why not so many people angry and feel emotional? All these are the vital issues that confront us and are the real battles the engulf us today...why...Only political humbugs, tyrants and cronies will hold sway over the silent, weak ,and suffering group. !!!No one care, just care on own ego and prestige....creating opponent which cannot cause harm to make yourself as hero....smart....

《拥抱信念,迎接光辉岁月》
从2007年至今,开始活跃于马大亲学生阵线。从助选团成员,协调员,选委会主席,到今天的阵线共同领导人,一路走来,历尽沧桑。
不愿被校方权贵收编的我们,的确是吃了很多苦头。我们没有物质的好处,没有免费旅行;凡事自己出钱出力,熬着过来。如果只是没有机会捞点眼前利益,对权贵而言,也太便宜我们了。他们还有要我们吃苦头,被理应作为保护学生的保安人员欺压也不过是个司空见惯的方法 。听证会,警察局报到也是小意思罢了。
学弟学妹问我,学阵有什么。我心里想了一想,我们没有钱收买人、也不能请你吃大餐、免费旅行更是发梦,要住宿舍也比人家难;但,我们有的是尊严、骨气、理想,一股为人民未来奋斗的使命感。我们穷吗?如果你们以物质角度来看,以贪小便宜的心态做人;我们的确是穷。若你以人性的光辉为出发点,我们很富足,至少在精神层面。 我反而认为校方权贵的代理人-亲校方阵线才是穷!他们穷到只剩下钱!
我们的斗争很单纯,很直接。校园民主、学生自治、种族团结、宗教和谐等愿景相信大家都能明白。这是为了什么?有人质疑我们无法为学生谋求眼前利益,多几架饮水机、多点免费宴会、多点拨款好让学生能够更加尽兴的吃喝玩乐。如果单从争取学生福利角度来看,亲学生阵线参选的确是吃力不 讨好,毕竟校方才是校园政策的最后决策者。然而从大格局来看,亲学生阵线赢得学生代表理事会,却能在舆论上牵制校方和政府,任何威胁到学生权益不公平的事 情,有了学生代表理事会这个平台,将能够迅速做出回应,并动员支持力量,在舆论上与校方和政府相抗衡。
朋友们,眼光放远点,格局放大点。不要让自己沦为小家子气,贪小便宜者。最近不小心在网上一个部落客(http://dami719.blogspot.com/2010/01/blog-post_17.html)
读到类似的文章,也许是冥冥中注定吧。在此引用
一些内容以作比较:
大米说:“越来越多这样贪小便宜,似乎只要一个环保袋就可以收买的人,我们的政治意识,我们的选举什么时候才会进步?一个不值钱的环保袋可以让人的丑恶贪萎内心在公共场所暴露无遗,在在说明了选举中只要有投机份子肯大抛金钱,什么事情不会发生?”
这很值得全体大专生一起反思,我们是否曾经也有类似的思维。为了不劳而获得到宿舍的一个床位,是否可以委屈屈膝呢?(注:我在宿舍也有一些非常值得赞赏的朋友,他们是堂堂正正以运动表现,学术成就及活动贡献而住下来的,不是靠关系的。上次大选宿舍票也是他们帮忙拉到的,宿舍选民趋势也是他们帮我弄的)
还记得曾经宿舍有学长告诉我宿舍的好处(这条水平时什么活动也没有搞,没有比赛成绩)-例如有食堂,吃饭方便、厕所走廊有清洁工人洗,不用照顾清洁。最令我喷血的是,他说水可以开大大不用关,不用关电,不像住外面要自己还水电费! 这种货色,这是令人摇头!不负责任,贪图利益,这种人无论在公共事务、私人企业还是任何机构都是一种祸根。在今天,失信案(CBT),滥用公款(CMA)等白领犯罪日益严重;也许这和我们国立大学的教育有关。为了令学生对校方贴贴服服,不惜利诱,不顾礼仪廉耻;把大学沦为制造一群祸国殃民的贪腐知识分子,祸害苍生。
回到该部落客,作者也提到股东大会:
“因工作需要,我常出席很多上市公司的股东大会,会后通常有茶点或午餐招待,而我总是看到争夺食物的场面总是不停的上演。
更 甚的是很多华裔还带了plastic盒和纸袋来打包,我就曾亲眼目睹一个AUNTIE,在股东大会 后把coffee & tea station的那些糖包全部扫进她的包包里,连炼乳也不放过!!倒进她带来的小瓶子!!这还没有完结,当时我站在她的旁边,看得目瞪口呆,她还好意思对 我说:啊,这个酒店的碟子很美(也就是那种白色的普通瓷碟),拿几个回去;于是她就老实不客气把二个碟子放进她的包包里,一脸“理所当然”“毫无惧色”的 样子!留下那个在一旁看到傻眼出不到声的我!!
最 近出席一个官联公司的股东大会也是如此,从汹涌的人潮估计,签到的股东有3千多人,但是过后当会议正式开始的时候,在会议大堂里的人数却不到200人!! 那些人去了那里?那是因为这家官联公司,在会议开始前就送了礼物(电器一份),它没有准备午餐,但却送了KFC的免费餐券;换句话说,就算这些贪小便宜的 股东待到会议结束(接近2个小时),也不会再有额外的好康,那么,还留下来干什么?以为他们真的是sincere investors吗?股票交易所、证券委员会和小股东监督机构不断的进行投资者教育,培养出来的却是这些只为来拿免费礼物吃大餐的股东,真正准备就绪向 各上市公司发出问题的股东只属少数人。有这么多贪小便宜的股东,难怪我们的上市公司当中,有很多的企业监管出问题,弊病百出。”
相比下,大学也是同样的情景。我们有没有想过所缴交的学费到底用在什么地方?校方的财政是否透明,整个大学内地招标过程如何(包括食堂、清洁工作、工程、巴士服务、复印设备、电脑等)。我始终坚信,制度和政策改革才是最佳方案。大家试想想,若是学生力量强大,食堂负责人看给我们吃难吃又贵的食物吗?、巴士公司敢不准时吗?关键就在招标的决策权!学生必须要有力量,监督他们!也就因为如此会影响到某些利益集团的好处,所以他们要分裂学生,扶植一群学生当爪牙!这和当年英国殖民地政府扶植一群本土利益集团、日本侵略者在南京扶植汪精卫汉奸伪政权及今天的美国在伊拉克为了油田而扶植亲美势力是同工异曲的!还记得我新生的时候,法律系教授Azmi Sharom 就在主讲校园选举醒觉讲座会时曾经问过大家一句话: ARE YOU SO CHEAP?
的确,我们亲学生阵线的处境是“条条绳子,处处陷阱,危机四伏,防不胜防,欲不触雷,殆无可能”,但,我们坚信,虽屈于今日,必申于将来。面对在多点苦难,也有处之泰然,沉着应对。横挥铁腕批龙甲,怒奋空拳搏虎头;这是我们的选择,历史必会给我们一个交代。
任何曾经与我们一起并肩作战者,我坚信这是你们一生的光辉。我们会挺起胸膛,堂堂正正的说:“令伯是亲学生阵线的”。
最后,以福棋学长的话与大家共勉之。信 念、理想和价值,是人类安身立命的基础。如果一个人的信念可以轻易的被动摇,那么他根本没有信念;如果一个人能够轻易的放弃理想,那么他根本没有理想;如 果一个人能够轻易的背弃他所信仰的价值,那么他根本没有价值。信念、理想和价值,是人类立定来坚持,而不是立定来背弃的!
以下下两首歌,很适合我们。(笔于读了青春可爱美丽动人的叶贞均小美眉的《校方,我不是你的敌人》有感而言)

全國徵文賽頒獎禮
作品比去年微增
(吉隆坡7日訊)校友聯總代總會長陳鵬士指出,今年全國徵文比賽共收獲100份作品,雖比去年95份略增,但卻實際反映當今學生不注重華文。
他說,今年參加各州華教常識比賽人數達1733人,可見學生對華教發展歷史有濃厚的興趣,使這場比賽達致發揚中華文化的作用。
“現今學生要兼顧課業及課外活動,導致他們對參加比賽的興趣欠缺,甚至還出現教師請求學生參加的情況。”
他是在第7屆各州華教常識比賽及第14屆全國徵文比賽頒獎禮上致詞時,這么說。
出席者有校友聯總顧問周素英。
第7屆各州華教常識比賽是由校友聯總主辦、董總及教總協辦及各州校友聯承辦﹔第14屆全國徵文比賽則由校友聯總會主辦、各州校友聯協辦辦。
陳鵬士指出,教育部決定將華文及淡米爾文納入國小正課,以吸引更多非土著學生入讀國小,惟他希望,政府勿在華小缺乏師資情況下,調動華小教師到國小任教。

2012會是世界末日嗎?2012 is the end?
2012年到底是不是世界末日,還是會有大災難,我其實不懂。我們只能以歷史來分析。
I am not able to tell you whether 2012 would be the end of our civilization as mention in the fiction or any other prediction. However, we should look at the history and analyze from it.
首先我們看看2012的天文現象。
1st, we may look at the astronomic phenomena during 2012.
5月21日——日環食,在下午2時左右,中國華南,臺灣,日本南部可見。
May 20 – Annular solar eclipse, a Sunday. Path of annularity runs through the Pacific Ocean from northern China to California.
6月6日——金星凌日。
June 6 – The second and last solar transit of Venus of the century. The next pair is predicted to occur in 2117 and 2125.
11月13日——土全食在澳洲北部及南太平洋可見。
November 13 – Total solar eclipse (visible in northern Australia and the South Pacific).
November 28 – Penumbral lunar eclipse.
December 3 – Jupiter in opposition.
On the sun, the solar maximum of Solar Cycle 24 in the 11-year sunspot cycle is forecast to occur. Solar Cycle 24 is regarded to have commenced January 2008, and on average will reach its peak of maximal sunspot activity around 2012. The period between successive solar maxima averages 11 years (the Schwabe cycle), and the previous solar maximum of Solar Cycle 23 occurred in 2000–2002.During the solar maximum the sun's magnetic poles will reverse.
由于本人是法律系學生,不是天文學家。對天文現象了解有限,暫時只能提提金星凌日。
I am not able to look through all the phenomena because i am not scientist, i am just a art background student.
金星凌日是当金星运行到太阳和地球之间时发生的一种罕见的天文现象。当金星凌日出现,从地球上可以看到金星像一个黑色圆盘从太阳表面划过。通常都是用小时来计算金星凌日的时间(2004年和2012年,持续大概6小时)。原理上类似于日食,虽然金星的直径有差不多月亮的4倍。我们从地球上看金星要小的多是因为她离地球更远一些。
歷史上發生金星凌日的日期
1396年11月23日
1518年5月25–26日
1526年5月23日
1631年12月7日
1639年12月4日
1761年6月6日
1769年6月3–4日
1874年12月9日
1882年12月6日
2004年6月8日
在這段期間發生的自然世界(都在一年左右)
1)1518~1850年小冰期(little ice age),1518開始
2)嘉靖五年(西元 1526 年)浙江、江西、福建各省大旱。
3)1631年(明崇祯4年)在常德附近发生了一次破坏性地震
4)1639-1640陕西、河南、山东蝗、旱灾,大饥,人相食。
5)1761年8月洪水是黄河三门峡-花园口区间的一次罕见特大洪水
6)1769年圣纳扎罗教堂蕾击
7)1874年9月22日——甲戌风灾。
当天一个强烈台风在珠江口附近登陆,先后吹袭香港及澳门,远至广州亦受灾害。在香港,台风造成2,000多人死亡,成为香港有记录至今第三多人死亡的风灾。风暴期间,千间房屋被摧毁,维多利亚港内十多艘远洋船只沉没,数百只中国帆船沉没。澳门则有5000多人死亡,数千只渔船沉没,大量楼宇倒塌,损失达200万银圆。珠江口西岸从香山至顺德、广州俱出受飓风及风暴潮袭击,“围堤破裂,水高二丈”。是战前及十九世纪仅知侵袭香港及澳门最强的台风之一。
8)1883年7月28日——意大利伊斯基亚发生地震,2000人丧生。
9)1883年8月27日——印尼喀拉喀托火山爆发以及火山导致的海啸造成約36000人死亡。
10)2004年2月24日-摩洛哥发生地震,571人死亡。
11)2004年9月16日——飓风伊万席卷加勒比海和美国多个地区,造成至少103人死亡。
12)2004年9月23日——美國圣海伦斯火山喷发。
13)2004年12月26日-2004年印度洋大地震引起印度洋沿岸巨大海啸,对印度洋沿岸国家造成巨大破坏,有超过20万人在此次海啸事件中丧生,其中有许多为外国游客。
中國地震局研究員,中國地球物理學會天災預測專業委員會副主任耿慶國說,研究了『金星凌日』的規律後,他采用取象比類的方法對2187年來的『金星凌日』與黃河中下游發生大洪水的年份整個進行比較分析,發現二 者存在相關性,尤其是公元前184年至公元60年期間(相隔243年)黃河中下游發生大洪水的年份,與公元1761年至公元2004年期間(相隔243 年)黃河中下游發生洪水的年份,存在著極好的同步性和一致性。
除了黃河以外,他發現『金星凌日』到來的前一年淮河往往有大洪水。例如,1518年、1761年、2004年『金星凌日』到來的前一年,即 1517年、1760年、2003年,淮河流域多出現洪澇異常。眾所周知,2003年,中國淮河流域發生了自1954年以來的最大的流域性大洪水,與 1517年和1760年的淮何流域大洪水互相印證。
下一輪金星凌日發生在2012年6月5–6日,會有什么事情,我不知道。不要忘記,2012年除了金星凌日,還有日環食、土全食、Penumbral lunar eclipse、Jupiter in opposition、太陽風造成的磁場變化等等。

在這段期間發生的自然世界(都在一年左右)
1)1518~1850年小冰期(little ice age),1518開始
2)嘉靖五年(西元 1526 年)浙江、江西、福建各省大旱。
3)1631年(明崇祯4年)在常德附近发生了一次破坏性地震
4)1639-1640陕西、河南、山东蝗、旱灾,大饥,人相食。
5)1761年8月洪水是黄河三门峡-花园口区间的一次罕见特大洪水
6)1769年圣纳扎罗教堂蕾击
7)1874年9月22日——甲戌风灾。
当天一个强烈台风在珠江口附近登陆,先后吹袭香港及澳门,远至广州亦受灾害。在香港,台风造成2,000多人死亡,成为香港有记录至今第三多人死亡的风灾。风暴期间,千间房屋被摧毁,维多利亚港内十多艘远洋船只沉没,数百只中国帆船沉没。澳门则有5000多人死亡,数千只渔船沉没,大量楼宇倒塌,损失达200万银圆。珠江口西岸从香山至顺德、广州俱出受飓风及风暴潮袭击,“围堤破裂,水高二丈”。是战前及十九世纪仅知侵袭香港及澳门最强的台风之一。
8)1883年7月28日——意大利伊斯基亚发生地震,2000人丧生。
9)1883年8月27日——印尼喀拉喀托火山爆发以及火山导致的海啸造成約36000人死亡。
10)2004年2月24日-摩洛哥发生地震,571人死亡。
11)2004年9月16日——飓风伊万席卷加勒比海和美国多个地区,造成至少103人死亡。
12)2004年9月23日——美國圣海伦斯火山喷发。
13)2004年12月26日-2004年印度洋大地震引起印度洋沿岸巨大海啸,对印度洋沿岸国家造成巨大破坏,有超过20万人在此次海啸事件中丧生,其中有许多为外国游客。
中國地震局研究員,中國地球物理學會天災預測專業委員會副主任耿慶國說,研究了『金星凌日』的規律後,他采用取象比類的方法對2187年來的『金星凌日』與黃河中下游發生大洪水的年份整個進行比較分析,發現二 者存在相關性,尤其是公元前184年至公元60年期間(相隔243年)黃河中下游發生大洪水的年份,與公元1761年至公元2004年期間(相隔243 年)黃河中下游發生洪水的年份,存在著極好的同步性和一致性。
除了黃河以外,他發現『金星凌日』到來的前一年淮河往往有大洪水。例如,1518年、1761年、2004年『金星凌日』到來的前一年,即 1517年、1760年、2003年,淮河流域多出現洪澇異常。眾所周知,2003年,中國淮河流域發生了自1954年以來的最大的流域性大洪水,與 1517年和1760年的淮何流域大洪水互相印證。
下一輪金星凌日發生在2012年6月5–6日,會有什么事情,我不知道。不要忘記,2012年除了金星凌日,還有日環食、土全食、Penumbral lunar eclipse、Jupiter in opposition、太陽風造成的磁場變化等等。

Healthy and Vital Politics: The Power of Love Against Fear and Hatred -- Healing Against Harm
What! Politics and spirituality!?! Duh? Hello. If you like freedom, democracy, have any sense of justice and fairness, and wish your children to have adequate food, shelter, energy, and medical care. Then being engaged with functional political-economic systems in that sense is excellent as one is either participating in oppression or tyranny on one hand, or on the other hand participating in alleviating injustice, oppression, and exploitation of self and others. If a person does not care about these issues, or would rather believe that autocratic forces, God, or trusted authorities will be taking care of these matters for one, then keep dreaming, wishing, and hoping. Good luck!
Politics, like it or not, pervades modern life. It is observed in the funding for war and the lack of funding for peace. In the amount of money allocated toward gulags and prisons, or on the other hand toward educational and economic opportunities for all. It can increase environmental toxins and disease, or it can limit and decrease such. It can ensure the free dissemination of information and data, or it can restrict it. It can foster policies of scarcity and competition, or on the other hand policies of abundance and cooperation.
Thus political-economic systems can be an amazing force for freedom, justice, peace, abundance, and creative fulfillment when not manipulated selfishly by greedy, selfish, and oppressive dark forces. Politics impacts people and other living beings in many ways. It can come down to the bombs falling over head and killing you or your loved ones (if you live in a war zone or soon to be one). Politics governs the quality of our air, water, food, energy, and healthcare. For human beings and their families (all of us0 its policies determine if you can use a quality library, find employment after fifty, be exposed to toxic pollutants and risk environmental disease, be sent off to fight in foreign invasions or not, be robbed by the government or be robbed by desperate "others", be jailed, tortured, beaten, or punished for your beliefs or dissent, etc.
Political policies have permeated all walks of daily life, unless one can find a perfectly isolated wilderness left alone in its pristine unexploited beauty or else attempt to view the heavens with telescopes and satellites all day long in ivory towers. It's not only difficult, but really impossible, to escape or deny, while money no longer promises to immunize one from this "reality". One may invest in expensive security guards, security systems, satellites, mercenaries, threats of torture and incarceration, escaping via spaceships, or attempt to buy tickets to heaven, but such ways of thinking only isolates one more, placing one in a very narrow self made prison of fear.
In short, many greedy self interest groups having their own agenda attempt to exploit people and resources, educational and health care institutions, regulatory institutions, government agencies, politicians, commerce, the environment, the financial institutions, and the economy incessantly for their narrow-minded agendas. Such political influences have to be recognized in order to rectify it. Ignoring it simply allows one to become unknowingly victimized and manipulated by it unconsciously harboring a delusion that one is somehow franchised as long as one goes along with the rules. That's an attitude held over from serfdom (read slavery). Worse it's an illusion. When serfs/slaves become worthless to the lords of greed, they are disposed of in an efficient manner. All human beings are subject to old age, sickness, and death and hence to the exploiter mentality, they have become useless.
In fact the manipulators and rulers would prefer that one did not participate in the political process (democracy), and hence the dark side of "politics" is thus promoted, discouraging people from becoming actively engaged for claiming responsibility for their future and future generations, righting injustice, creating a sustainable life supporting environment, and helping others to awaken to their innate creative fulfillment. In this latter sense political activity can be the road to social happiness and justice, abundance, sustainability, freedom, and spiritual fulfillment. For awakened , informed, and human beings who still have a living sense of justice (honoring the lifeforce within and without), political activity can be very empowering when regarded in this light. It can be the means to assure the happiness of our future great great grandchildren should we dare to broaden the scope of our vision and activities accordingly.
Authentic or real politics is essential to a democracy and a happy people. That does not mean power politics for power's sake like most of today's expedient (read deceptive and corrupt) politics has become today. Rather by real and authentic politics, it is meant a system where people have a say in governing themselves and changing their own future and destiny in the direction that is best for them and their children according to their own values, rather than to be governed by would be slave owners.
That sounds simple enough doesn't it, but I think that most Americans don't know the value of freedom (democracy) because they don't want to be bothered being informed. Democracy can't work without people being informed, of course. The same about the economy. It ain't complex either. Just because the "experts" say it is complicated and complex, it doesn't make it so. Real economic systems based on life affirming values are simply methods to efficiently expedite, distribute, and access water, food, energy, transportation, and medical care amongst a group of people. When that is accomplished expediently, then any time and resources left over is used for recreation, free time, creativity, and individual pursuits. If "free time" is becoming less available or vital resources/services dwindling, then that is a clear indicator that the economic system is not working and requires adjustment. In the end an authentic political-economic system is compassionate; i.e., it serves the needs of the people and future generations. That way we look forward to the morrow, free from worry, stress, or apprehension.
This kind of politics is reflected in wisdom, light, love, vision, abundance, justice, and ahimsa which is natural to an awakened heart. For those mired in darkness, fear, greed, selfishness, scarcity, and competition, they can not recognize it as such, rather they will project their own selfish motives upon "others" because that is what composes their own mindset or "world view" -- that. which is within their own minds and conveniently placate their egoic self deceit by imagining and imputing that love, compassion, justice, and altruism is its opposite; i.e., a disguise for jealousy and greed.
This article was originally written as an introduction to Rainbowbody's Healthy and Green Politics page, but it grew naturally as a seed into a flower of its own, and hence has been continued here. Here we will show that there is a direct interactive correspondence between man's institutionalized apparatus which externalizes and propagates ignorance and suffering through events, and the pre-existing institutionalization of ignorance and suffering that resides in the human psyche. We will show that there exists a direct correspondence between human behavior, activities, and hence the institutions that man creates as being direct results of human consciousness (a prior mindset) which is either lacking consciousness or is on the other hand informed and wise.
Consciousness or its lack shape and/or permit either abuse, exploitation, oppression, injury, and continued suffering to occur on one hand if it is unhealthy, sociopathic, pathological, dysfunctional, and perverted/corrupted; or on the other hand, consciousness can support healing, liberation, creativity, integrity, abundance, cooperation, peace, and happiness if it is healthy, functional, biosocial, based in the values inherent in the community of life, integrated, and wholistic; i.e., sane. The former relationship is what the psychiatrist, Erich Fromm, termed necrophilia (the love of death and destruction), while it is opposed by biophilia -- the love of life. Hence the social and political problems facing the human being are iatrogenic (self caused). The causal factors at their root are essentially psychological or spiritual, hence it is worthwhile to look into the reasons why this spiritual flowering and unfoldment has become stifled and repressed and in doing so we will uncover and identify institutions which serve to repress and inhibit critical, creative, and free thought.
For many humans who are partially awake these connections are obvious; i.e., that consciousness (and/or its lack) shapes man's behavior, institutions, and politics on one hand; while also that man's environment, culture, institutions, society, and experiences shape his/her consciousness as a simultaneously occurring or symbiotic two way street. Both are true, but neither is true exclusively.
For too many years this obvious connection between consciousness and behavior, between psychology and politics, between spirituality and political-economic systems, between psychology and socioeconomic, agricultural, ecological, and medical systems, etc., has been widely ignored and even purposively obfuscated by forces allied with ignorance and darkness -- with selfishness and greed. Such connections between sky and earth, spirit and nature, psyche and soma, consciousness and beingness have rarely been integrated (except in indigenous societies) of whom have been under attack especially in the West for 2000 years. Thus a widespread but artificially created pre-existing problem has been that consciousness expansion, spirituality, and the so called human potential movement has heretofore been poorly linked to social and political activities. Such a separation on a daily basis has artificially reinforced a needless spiritual rift (dematerialization) between so called earth/body positive"spirituality" and social activism whose schism unfortunately and dysfunctionally continues to erode human progress and happiness while creating needless suffering. The task is obvious. An authentic living spirituality must be embodied and allowed to manifest in daily life. Such must be part of a sane and healthy way of integrity which honors life and creativity which we will discuss in more detail later on.
This connection between consciousness and politics -- or rather between political action inside an overall spiritual context which honors our connection and co-creative interdependence with life support systems (Systems that support life) by honoring the greater community which upholds it and from which it has sprung, requires acknowledgement at a fundamental level of "self" as a part of (not apart from) the evolutionary power of creation. The connections between our persona and our environment should be obvious to anyone who has learned critical and creative thinking; but modern day urban institutionalized propaganda and rigid institutionalized ideology will refuse to link the two. Rather such self serving institutions serves to obviate them in an attempt to fragment human beings from the source of their innate power and goodness.
The "Good" News is that this acknowledgement of this symbiotic relationship between consciousness and beingness (our actual experience) empowers us while allowing and enabling sentient beings who have been awakened to change the future positively through skillful loving wise action. The bad news is that there exists self interested institutionalized forces afoot on the planet with greedy agendas and well funded strategies, who do not wish humans to wake up and bridge this gap, because such is judged as a threat to their perceived "advantage" (their perverse identification with the status quo in terms of their comparative advantage, security, greed, self image and thus is associated with mental fear, pain, and feeling of lack of self worth). Those who are awake and in the light and who are propagating wisdom and compassion are still in a minority. Similarly those who are consciously promoting ignorance, destruction, darkness, greed, control, and egoic power over others selfishly are also in the minority. The majority are sleepy people who see only a faint shadow or hollow phantom of what they are missing/craving or fearing, thus they become easy victims, slaves, and purveyors of a neurotic consumer oriented society and political machine which pursues ersatz consumables and vague symbolic representation as substitute compensation for the basic displacement/rend from being a vital conscious participant of the dynamic evolutionary and creative force. In that way willing consumers become accomplices in perpetuating their own state of need and anguish, which can not fulfil (except in over indulgent orgies of excess (such as over eating, drug abuse, alcohol addiction, other avenues of insatiable greed, until they become sick, recognize their folly, and desire to wake up and become free. Currently this neurotic consumer driven malaise (driven by insatiable greed) is a major factor in ruining the ecosystems of the planet.
With this compensatory neurotic apparatus reinforced, when one has become so invested and convinced, it then becomes more difficult for the average consumer to let go of their ersatz compensatory opiate/pabulum and addictions. However "kicking that habit" (renunciation of neurotic compensatory consumerism) is a powerful first step which supports further realization of their innate dormant higher potential -- the aforementioned healthy wholistic natural state of vital integrity which was lost sight of before the psychological conditioning, negative programming, perversion and corruption of one's psyche/consciousness became dominant. Worse people so addicted and dependent upon such false identifications will cling to and defend it; i.e., their egoic self image (pride) which is rooted in separation and isolation, will feel threatened by paradigms which expose or reveal its contradiction. That is because this false identification has succeeded in becoming familiar known territory and predictable, thus one chronically mistakes safety and well being with predictability. Thus they will tend to resist their own liberation from their own self imposed bondage to addiction because of a fear of unpredictability or change. Change will appear threatening instead of liberating.
Even worse they will tend to hide and deny their consumer addictions through defending and glorifying it in a self defensive/aggressive pride especially through psychopathological methods of demonizing their perceived detractors which is really the externalization of their own inner conflict and demons. These are psychological resistances and armoring of the ego which manifest when people who identify with their beliefs about themselves and "the world", but who have not yet looked at the mechanism on how those beliefs have become assumed. They have not learned how to question those assumptions and trust their own innate critical thought processes. Indeed even questioning their beliefs appears to such as a personal threat rather than as an opportunity to self liberate and expand. One way that human beings change is by suffering; i.e., when there is nothing more to lose, then they will more easily rebel. However such solutions based on scarcity and desire, wind up in the long run repeating the scenario of scarcity until this great lesson is learned; i.e., that we are all one big family -- that the quality, richness, and depth of life is not found in the individual's accumulation of more things and their protection/maintenance. The more things humans need and own are signs of discontent and spiritual displacement. They are signs of how much they crave, need, and are unhappy.
Thus the remedial mechanism for the political milieu will be shown to be a spiritual/psychological mechanism of waking up, of regaining our inherent integrity, wholeness, spiritual health, sense of justice, sensitivity to the life force, and increased consciousness which was perverted/co-opted through negative programming. This will be shown as being the same process as throwing off the impure thoughts, false beliefs, propaganda, and illusions of fragment identifications as a clearing of the contraction of the heart, because as the sky clears the clouds go away -- the sun shines through without complicated contrivation and fabricated rationalization.
People who honor love, do not kill, hate, rob, exploit, harm or oppress others. Peaceful minds, honor peace -- they make peace. Inner peace comes from a deep realization of who we truly are -- where the inner demons of the corruptive HeartMind have become conquered. Inner peace is a result of realizing who we are in completion -- as eternal unrequited love. Here there is no room for hatred or fear, only love, joy, fulfillment, compassion, comfort, and light. People who know fulfillment and joy are neither insatiable nor insecure. Successful people no longer incessantly strive, but rather they engender peace and fullness. Loving people make love, rather than hate, murder, or war. One who has found love, values and honors love, peace, and abundance attempts to enhance it. Such a person is motivated by such stirrings deeply from their core. As such peace is not passivity, but active -- it is the activity of love. Such people would not honor systems that create scarcity, competition, stealing from others, comparative advantage, war, or strife. Similarly, people whose HeartMind have become clarified and open love and honor freedom and do not enslave, oppress, nor support totalitarian police states. Rather they become engaged in wise activities which liberate, remove suffering, heal, and celebrate a life wedded in Great Spirit -- their actions acknowledge and honor the sacred in All Our Relations.
In identifying the causes of oppression and suffering we thus have to avoid obsessing "about" the negative (hate, greed, fear, and selfishness) of our fellow humanss especially so when we live in a materialistic, competitive, militaristic, capitalist, gulag society. This is not to say that one should turn away and ignore the oppression, exploitation, and lies while leaving them unacknowledged. However it will do no effective spiritual good to simply condemn it in outrage; or on the other hand glorify the perfection of love as a spiritual process on the other hand. The t the authentic challenge is in bringing the love, light, truth, happiness, kindness, justice, and joy through where it is absent -- grounding and manifesting spirit in everyday life -- embodying love and spirit in integrity here upon the earth as in "thy kingdom come -- thy will be done, here on earth as in heaven". This is the spiritual work of cleansing the HeartMind detailed elsewhere on Rainbowbody.net; however here we address the activities of the Heart versus activities of men whose hearts are occluded. Framed in this way, it is not a condemnation of others but an inquiry how humans have arrived at precipices of strife and dysfunction, and as such teaches the lesson of history, how we can learn not to repeat such errors of learning the hard way -- through more pain and suffering -- until wisdom dawns!
Processes based on love, compassion, ahimsa, justice, and peace do not encourage nor reward suffering, comparative advantage, greed, jealousy, adversity, hatred, fear, competition, strife, and more confusion. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out, but it does require a healthy mind and a good heart. It requires some degree of sensitivity, awareness, and sanity as well. It is taken as a given (a priori) that people collectively moved by transpersonal universal love are capable of moving mountains -- that when we act motivated by the universal non-dual Source (Great Integrity) acting in alignment and harmony with the natural joy of spirit, healing, abundance, wealth, peace, then true happiness manifests. This basic assumption of a natural altruistic ambition forms a most powerful momentum of its own. It opposes the perverse idea that man must be motivated by the whip, by scarcity, conflict, competition, fear, intimidation, greed, threat, or negative ambition.
Hence we return to the first paragraph:
"Through Universal Altruism we develop a feeling of true responsibility toward others; the wish to help all actively over come our problems".The Dalai Lama of Tibet
We have said that freedom has a price. In a democracy it is called, responsibility. Freedom does not mean to give up that responsibility to crooks or tyrants. That responsibility is not discharged by simply voting (giving consent). First a true democrat (one who values democracy) has to value freedom which requires becoming informed and free of the propaganda. That requires a critical and creative thought process -- a mindset that values truth over lies as well as free access to information. So the responsibility is to be informed while at the same time throwing off the propaganda of belief systems which desire to manipulate your mind (and hence manipulate you as their servants/slaves). Then one can act responsibly and effectively in helping self and others. That can move us into a happier, more just, and spiritual situation.
To sum up so far, mankind's long history of war, murder, plunder, exploitation, violence, rapaciousness, and suffering thus is not a natural phenomena (although normal) at all, but rather is a perversion and corruption, a fragmentation, a falling away from innate integration, from All Our Relations. It is fundamentally unnatural and anti-nature. It is egoic, arrogant, and based on the delusion that human can be separate and independent from nature and primordial wisdom -- from the Big Family. As such it is merely a symptom of man acting out from his spiritual malaise -- his alienated or out of attunement/alignment with the wholeness of creation/creator. Simply put all abuses, injury, oppression, and suffering that man brings upon himself is due to a basic spiritual pollution and spiritual self alienation -- a primal rift or separation -- the false identification of the self limitation imposed by the small self (ego) who arrogantly imagines himself to be independent-- a lack of "Self" understanding which has become institutionalized, an institutionalized and programmed barrier, obstruction, or impurity which has stained and occluded his HeartMind.
Here again we can divide/reduce this situation into two directions -- the direction toward Self Integrity -- the Great Binding (mahavratam) of yoga or All Our Relations-- which we will call the altruistic motive power -the pure ambition of a peace warrior, Bodhisattvas, or Christos) -- of non-dual transpersonal Love -- the power of the Great binding and Final Great Gathering. On the other hand, the aversion to this integration is a fragmentation and corruption by definition called the way of dissolution, spiritual self alienation, and false identification with a separate self or ego. This latter addiction or rather enslavement of is the neurotic or compensatory desire (motif) which contains hatred, fear, compensatory cravings and all the other secondary resultant spin offs such as greed, jealousy, competitiveness, malevolence -- all the manifold vagaries of humanity's many afflictions and oppressions. It is in the latter that the Heart has become chronically contracted and where one has lapsed into chronic forgetfulness -- "dis-memberance" -- fragmentation, alienation, corruption, and perversion. It is there in this stage where mankind has formed its pact with "sin" and corruption, where he harbors his own demons which haunt him, and which is calling for a cleansing -- where the Heart is deeply calling out to him to open up.
Simply put the expression of eternal Love and Joy -- of All Our Relations -- opposes exploitation, abuse, harm, oppression, exploitation, suffering, and killing of others -- thus it supports freedom, well being, and peace. Further it supports abundance, life, and healing. Pure air, pure water, low crime, non-toxic environment, low crime rates, less needs for armaments, less prisons, more attention to an empowering educational system, healthy agricultural policies, cleaner air and water, non-oppressive governments, more abundance, etc. All these effects and manifestations follow naturally from a common health motif and cause. These are natural consequences of Love and happiness. They appear to be "wise" or at least sane.
The Dysfunctional/Disempowering Mechanism of Externalization, Authoritarian/Totalitarian States, Demagoguery, and the Politics of Blame is the Result of Abandoning Self Responsibility: Freedom can only occur when we are willing and able to take "self" responsibility.
On the other hand, when confusion, selfishness, hate, fear, jealousy, and greed dominate people's hearts -- when the Heart has become contracted, contaminated, or oppressed -- then we see the manifestations of dissatisfaction, greed, selfishness, competition, strife, hatred, envy, fear, jealousy, in over consumption, rape, war, crime, murder, theft, deception, prejudice, bigotry, abuse, waste, pollution, slavery, suffering, and the like. In this occluded, confused, and sleepy state, hate and fear -- or rather paranoia, insecurity, and greed rules and thus one's activities, behavior and politics becomes correspondingly occluded, dark, perverse, corrupt -- what is commonly called evil. Extrapolating this illusion further then, externalized "enemies" are created as if some one else or some external group was perpetuating this evil upon us and thus a scapegoat, an objectified enemy, evil, or object of hatred and blame external to "self" is manufactured. This simpleminded approach is attractive to those seeking quick and simple answers and find it difficult to think because they have been given no tools to investigate their inner demons or conflicts -- because they have been separated from their inner spiritual authenticity and authority -- from living spirit. Thus an externalized/objectified enemy serves the neurotic purpose of directing their fear and confusion into hatred and pride, because they are at once absolved from any responsibility and at the same time their frustration, grief, and anger are sublimated (discharged and relieved albeit temporarily) toward an external object. Thus in psychic terms a temporary catharsis is created and the neuroses, guilt, pain, trauma, fear, and self hatred appears temporarily relieved by objectifying a surrogate enemy or demon.
This neurotic mechanism is more easily manipulated en mass through group illusions (creating consensus support for the illusion) as in an objectified enemy external to the group, ethnic identity, religious identity, state, or national identity, as in war. This serves the same temporary release/discharge of anxiety (fear, hate, guilt) for the neurotic again relieving self responsibility, self hatred, guilt, anger, and grief. If the enemy is associated with "evil", then the enemy of evil becomes absolved as "good". Although simpleminded this childish transference has occurred for thousands of years where demagogues have manipulated people's fears, prejudices, confusion, anger, and guilt, even to the point cooperation with their own oppression and genocide. Here a figure of authority becomes the mediator (be it king, father, fuehrer, president, priest, or pundit). This same neurotic mechanism can be invoked pointing the finger toward an internal "security" threat by a demagogue creating a totalitarian police state where no one is trusted, no individual freedoms are allowed, where critical thought and creative thought are seen as threats, where the threat of "an externalized, ubiquitous, insidious, and omni-present enemy" is amplified -- where people cower in fear and terror (and not coincidentally where fear and terror are self perpetuating). Although authoritarianism will inflate and attempt to propagate and hide behind the appearance of virtue, there can be no mistaking totalitarianism no matter how cute the mask as anything other than institutionalized slavery -- it thrives on fear, paranoia, neuroses, hatred, prejudice, suffering, and ignorance.
Here we will link together the fact that world peace and true security comes from peaceful and psychologic/spiritually secure people, rather than from insecure people; i.e., a domestic or international "security" problem is the result of psychological/spiritual insecurity; i.e., insecure people. To root out this "security" problem must include why and how people feel insecure in the first place; i.e., what are the cause and effect factors involved. Only then can the insecurity be successfully approached and remediated. Those who advocate war are themselves at war inside of themselves. Those who see the demons everywhere are obsessed/possessed with inner demons -- which we need to exorcise. They live in a shadow world which begs for illumination and it is up to us (even though we may feel oppressed by "them" to rise above our own grief and suffering to increasingly learn how to share the light. Only together will WE walk into the Heart of Hearts -- no other.
Here we will see that greed, jealousy, pride, hatred, and fear all come from a spiritual lack and more basic insecurity stemming from a spiritual estrangement from "Self" -- a primary sickness -- a separation from "All Our Relations". As a matter of fact all human made problems emanating from our any of our activities or institutions of so called education (which turns our children into parrots), a profit motivated disease care system (where disease pays), environmental protection (where pollution and poisons are justified), agriculture (where scarcity, starvation, and poisoning the soil, water, air, animals and people are promoted ), energy policies (where global warming, acid rain, ozone holes, and ecological destruction are promoted), and where war, crime, homelessness, disparity, inequality, scarcity, and genocide are daily promoted -- all of such are unhealthy and reflect unhealthy souls -- are a reflection of a pre-existing inner predilection and dynamic; i.e., they are all part of mankind's spiritual malaise/trauma -- the split from Self in All Our Relations. The institutionalization of this trauma has for too long governed the price of bread, the quality of our air and water, war or peace, feast or famine -- this type of government policy of course is dysfunctional and unhealthy -- it lacks joy and heart. Instead of celebrating life, it demeans it and as such it creates more self hatred and alienation. It is not due to poor leadership, but rather the willingness of the people to be misled -- to not to think for themselves and thus to not take responsibility. Vampires and parasites do not thrive unless there is carrion for them to feed upon.
We will show that every aspect of mankind's sociopolitical structures are a direct result of his alignment with Source -- his embodiment of love and happiness on one hand, or on the other to the lack thereto. Either man integrates his Creative Loving potential into daily life -- in harmony with Creation or he will suffer accordingly. Here we will show thus that not only irrelevant sociopolitical structures and modalities (both domestic and foreign) are affected, but rather our daily life in terms of the air we breathe, the cost of our food, how much we work; i.e., in terms of basic agricultural policies, health care policies, education policies, environmental policies, and the like all are concomitant as a cultural reflection of man's persona -- his identification and alignment with Source (creator) and Substance (Creation) or else his separation or corruption from it -- its absence. It is in this sacred field which living spirit plays the dominant role in our daily institutions which today is severely lacking because it governs our daily quality of life. This situation requires mankind's attention acknowledgement, consciousness, and embrace. As such it is a inner spiritual process first because before man can see the love and manifest it, he first has to experience it. Merely reading about it will not suffice.
In this light then any economic system can be evaluated in the light of this field -- of how well it brings forth abundance, love, peace, well being, health, self empowerment of its citizens, freedom, and happiness. Thus healthy food, health care, agricultural policies, work safety, environmental health, eco-systems, education, social security are all very much inter-related. It does not take much thought to link the facts that clean air, clean water, and clean food are necessary and vital to any economy that those who would justify poisoned air, toxic water, and cancerous food products are themselves toxic, poisonous, corrupt and polluted -- their minds and bodies have become corrupted; just as much those who religiously advocate competition, strife, scarcity, wars, prisons, exploitation of natural resources and people as "necessary" motivation. Indeed it does not require much thought at all to see that removing violence and harm to all beings as a motif and ambition will effect a higher quality of life, less waste, and more pro-active policies all bringing more abundance. The reason that such a motif has not been adopted is not so much that the greedy and powerful status quo parasitical vampires wish to keep their advantage in terms of increased status, wealth, and power (simply read fear, insecurity, attachment, and greed) and will stop at no deceit or abuse to keep such, but rather it is because that not enough loving and wise people have awoke -- have refused to become the symbionts for their own oppression.
Thus it should be clear that the way of the open and clear heart playing in the sacred field of love, well being, joy, and fulfillment differs greatly from that of the constricted heart anguishing in the bitter depths of desire, greed, paranoia, fear, disparity, greed, and competition. We will see how the former healthy spiritual perspective clashes with the latter and show their differing veins which run through the rungs of history in a psycho-history, spiritual history, or new "science" (if you will) of poli-psy or poli-spirituality.

Politics, like it or not, pervades modern life. It is observed in the funding for war and the lack of funding for peace. In the amount of money allocated toward gulags and prisons, or on the other hand toward educational and economic opportunities for all. It can increase environmental toxins and disease, or it can limit and decrease such. It can ensure the free dissemination of information and data, or it can restrict it. It can foster policies of scarcity and competition, or on the other hand policies of abundance and cooperation.
Thus political-economic systems can be an amazing force for freedom, justice, peace, abundance, and creative fulfillment when not manipulated selfishly by greedy, selfish, and oppressive dark forces. Politics impacts people and other living beings in many ways. It can come down to the bombs falling over head and killing you or your loved ones (if you live in a war zone or soon to be one). Politics governs the quality of our air, water, food, energy, and healthcare. For human beings and their families (all of us0 its policies determine if you can use a quality library, find employment after fifty, be exposed to toxic pollutants and risk environmental disease, be sent off to fight in foreign invasions or not, be robbed by the government or be robbed by desperate "others", be jailed, tortured, beaten, or punished for your beliefs or dissent, etc.
Political policies have permeated all walks of daily life, unless one can find a perfectly isolated wilderness left alone in its pristine unexploited beauty or else attempt to view the heavens with telescopes and satellites all day long in ivory towers. It's not only difficult, but really impossible, to escape or deny, while money no longer promises to immunize one from this "reality". One may invest in expensive security guards, security systems, satellites, mercenaries, threats of torture and incarceration, escaping via spaceships, or attempt to buy tickets to heaven, but such ways of thinking only isolates one more, placing one in a very narrow self made prison of fear.
In short, many greedy self interest groups having their own agenda attempt to exploit people and resources, educational and health care institutions, regulatory institutions, government agencies, politicians, commerce, the environment, the financial institutions, and the economy incessantly for their narrow-minded agendas. Such political influences have to be recognized in order to rectify it. Ignoring it simply allows one to become unknowingly victimized and manipulated by it unconsciously harboring a delusion that one is somehow franchised as long as one goes along with the rules. That's an attitude held over from serfdom (read slavery). Worse it's an illusion. When serfs/slaves become worthless to the lords of greed, they are disposed of in an efficient manner. All human beings are subject to old age, sickness, and death and hence to the exploiter mentality, they have become useless.
In fact the manipulators and rulers would prefer that one did not participate in the political process (democracy), and hence the dark side of "politics" is thus promoted, discouraging people from becoming actively engaged for claiming responsibility for their future and future generations, righting injustice, creating a sustainable life supporting environment, and helping others to awaken to their innate creative fulfillment. In this latter sense political activity can be the road to social happiness and justice, abundance, sustainability, freedom, and spiritual fulfillment. For awakened , informed, and human beings who still have a living sense of justice (honoring the lifeforce within and without), political activity can be very empowering when regarded in this light. It can be the means to assure the happiness of our future great great grandchildren should we dare to broaden the scope of our vision and activities accordingly.
Authentic or real politics is essential to a democracy and a happy people. That does not mean power politics for power's sake like most of today's expedient (read deceptive and corrupt) politics has become today. Rather by real and authentic politics, it is meant a system where people have a say in governing themselves and changing their own future and destiny in the direction that is best for them and their children according to their own values, rather than to be governed by would be slave owners.
That sounds simple enough doesn't it, but I think that most Americans don't know the value of freedom (democracy) because they don't want to be bothered being informed. Democracy can't work without people being informed, of course. The same about the economy. It ain't complex either. Just because the "experts" say it is complicated and complex, it doesn't make it so. Real economic systems based on life affirming values are simply methods to efficiently expedite, distribute, and access water, food, energy, transportation, and medical care amongst a group of people. When that is accomplished expediently, then any time and resources left over is used for recreation, free time, creativity, and individual pursuits. If "free time" is becoming less available or vital resources/services dwindling, then that is a clear indicator that the economic system is not working and requires adjustment. In the end an authentic political-economic system is compassionate; i.e., it serves the needs of the people and future generations. That way we look forward to the morrow, free from worry, stress, or apprehension.
This kind of politics is reflected in wisdom, light, love, vision, abundance, justice, and ahimsa which is natural to an awakened heart. For those mired in darkness, fear, greed, selfishness, scarcity, and competition, they can not recognize it as such, rather they will project their own selfish motives upon "others" because that is what composes their own mindset or "world view" -- that. which is within their own minds and conveniently placate their egoic self deceit by imagining and imputing that love, compassion, justice, and altruism is its opposite; i.e., a disguise for jealousy and greed.
This article was originally written as an introduction to Rainbowbody's Healthy and Green Politics page, but it grew naturally as a seed into a flower of its own, and hence has been continued here. Here we will show that there is a direct interactive correspondence between man's institutionalized apparatus which externalizes and propagates ignorance and suffering through events, and the pre-existing institutionalization of ignorance and suffering that resides in the human psyche. We will show that there exists a direct correspondence between human behavior, activities, and hence the institutions that man creates as being direct results of human consciousness (a prior mindset) which is either lacking consciousness or is on the other hand informed and wise.
Consciousness or its lack shape and/or permit either abuse, exploitation, oppression, injury, and continued suffering to occur on one hand if it is unhealthy, sociopathic, pathological, dysfunctional, and perverted/corrupted; or on the other hand, consciousness can support healing, liberation, creativity, integrity, abundance, cooperation, peace, and happiness if it is healthy, functional, biosocial, based in the values inherent in the community of life, integrated, and wholistic; i.e., sane. The former relationship is what the psychiatrist, Erich Fromm, termed necrophilia (the love of death and destruction), while it is opposed by biophilia -- the love of life. Hence the social and political problems facing the human being are iatrogenic (self caused). The causal factors at their root are essentially psychological or spiritual, hence it is worthwhile to look into the reasons why this spiritual flowering and unfoldment has become stifled and repressed and in doing so we will uncover and identify institutions which serve to repress and inhibit critical, creative, and free thought.
For many humans who are partially awake these connections are obvious; i.e., that consciousness (and/or its lack) shapes man's behavior, institutions, and politics on one hand; while also that man's environment, culture, institutions, society, and experiences shape his/her consciousness as a simultaneously occurring or symbiotic two way street. Both are true, but neither is true exclusively.
For too many years this obvious connection between consciousness and behavior, between psychology and politics, between spirituality and political-economic systems, between psychology and socioeconomic, agricultural, ecological, and medical systems, etc., has been widely ignored and even purposively obfuscated by forces allied with ignorance and darkness -- with selfishness and greed. Such connections between sky and earth, spirit and nature, psyche and soma, consciousness and beingness have rarely been integrated (except in indigenous societies) of whom have been under attack especially in the West for 2000 years. Thus a widespread but artificially created pre-existing problem has been that consciousness expansion, spirituality, and the so called human potential movement has heretofore been poorly linked to social and political activities. Such a separation on a daily basis has artificially reinforced a needless spiritual rift (dematerialization) between so called earth/body positive"spirituality" and social activism whose schism unfortunately and dysfunctionally continues to erode human progress and happiness while creating needless suffering. The task is obvious. An authentic living spirituality must be embodied and allowed to manifest in daily life. Such must be part of a sane and healthy way of integrity which honors life and creativity which we will discuss in more detail later on.
This connection between consciousness and politics -- or rather between political action inside an overall spiritual context which honors our connection and co-creative interdependence with life support systems (Systems that support life) by honoring the greater community which upholds it and from which it has sprung, requires acknowledgement at a fundamental level of "self" as a part of (not apart from) the evolutionary power of creation. The connections between our persona and our environment should be obvious to anyone who has learned critical and creative thinking; but modern day urban institutionalized propaganda and rigid institutionalized ideology will refuse to link the two. Rather such self serving institutions serves to obviate them in an attempt to fragment human beings from the source of their innate power and goodness.
The "Good" News is that this acknowledgement of this symbiotic relationship between consciousness and beingness (our actual experience) empowers us while allowing and enabling sentient beings who have been awakened to change the future positively through skillful loving wise action. The bad news is that there exists self interested institutionalized forces afoot on the planet with greedy agendas and well funded strategies, who do not wish humans to wake up and bridge this gap, because such is judged as a threat to their perceived "advantage" (their perverse identification with the status quo in terms of their comparative advantage, security, greed, self image and thus is associated with mental fear, pain, and feeling of lack of self worth). Those who are awake and in the light and who are propagating wisdom and compassion are still in a minority. Similarly those who are consciously promoting ignorance, destruction, darkness, greed, control, and egoic power over others selfishly are also in the minority. The majority are sleepy people who see only a faint shadow or hollow phantom of what they are missing/craving or fearing, thus they become easy victims, slaves, and purveyors of a neurotic consumer oriented society and political machine which pursues ersatz consumables and vague symbolic representation as substitute compensation for the basic displacement/rend from being a vital conscious participant of the dynamic evolutionary and creative force. In that way willing consumers become accomplices in perpetuating their own state of need and anguish, which can not fulfil (except in over indulgent orgies of excess (such as over eating, drug abuse, alcohol addiction, other avenues of insatiable greed, until they become sick, recognize their folly, and desire to wake up and become free. Currently this neurotic consumer driven malaise (driven by insatiable greed) is a major factor in ruining the ecosystems of the planet.
With this compensatory neurotic apparatus reinforced, when one has become so invested and convinced, it then becomes more difficult for the average consumer to let go of their ersatz compensatory opiate/pabulum and addictions. However "kicking that habit" (renunciation of neurotic compensatory consumerism) is a powerful first step which supports further realization of their innate dormant higher potential -- the aforementioned healthy wholistic natural state of vital integrity which was lost sight of before the psychological conditioning, negative programming, perversion and corruption of one's psyche/consciousness became dominant. Worse people so addicted and dependent upon such false identifications will cling to and defend it; i.e., their egoic self image (pride) which is rooted in separation and isolation, will feel threatened by paradigms which expose or reveal its contradiction. That is because this false identification has succeeded in becoming familiar known territory and predictable, thus one chronically mistakes safety and well being with predictability. Thus they will tend to resist their own liberation from their own self imposed bondage to addiction because of a fear of unpredictability or change. Change will appear threatening instead of liberating.
Even worse they will tend to hide and deny their consumer addictions through defending and glorifying it in a self defensive/aggressive pride especially through psychopathological methods of demonizing their perceived detractors which is really the externalization of their own inner conflict and demons. These are psychological resistances and armoring of the ego which manifest when people who identify with their beliefs about themselves and "the world", but who have not yet looked at the mechanism on how those beliefs have become assumed. They have not learned how to question those assumptions and trust their own innate critical thought processes. Indeed even questioning their beliefs appears to such as a personal threat rather than as an opportunity to self liberate and expand. One way that human beings change is by suffering; i.e., when there is nothing more to lose, then they will more easily rebel. However such solutions based on scarcity and desire, wind up in the long run repeating the scenario of scarcity until this great lesson is learned; i.e., that we are all one big family -- that the quality, richness, and depth of life is not found in the individual's accumulation of more things and their protection/maintenance. The more things humans need and own are signs of discontent and spiritual displacement. They are signs of how much they crave, need, and are unhappy.
Thus the remedial mechanism for the political milieu will be shown to be a spiritual/psychological mechanism of waking up, of regaining our inherent integrity, wholeness, spiritual health, sense of justice, sensitivity to the life force, and increased consciousness which was perverted/co-opted through negative programming. This will be shown as being the same process as throwing off the impure thoughts, false beliefs, propaganda, and illusions of fragment identifications as a clearing of the contraction of the heart, because as the sky clears the clouds go away -- the sun shines through without complicated contrivation and fabricated rationalization.
People who honor love, do not kill, hate, rob, exploit, harm or oppress others. Peaceful minds, honor peace -- they make peace. Inner peace comes from a deep realization of who we truly are -- where the inner demons of the corruptive HeartMind have become conquered. Inner peace is a result of realizing who we are in completion -- as eternal unrequited love. Here there is no room for hatred or fear, only love, joy, fulfillment, compassion, comfort, and light. People who know fulfillment and joy are neither insatiable nor insecure. Successful people no longer incessantly strive, but rather they engender peace and fullness. Loving people make love, rather than hate, murder, or war. One who has found love, values and honors love, peace, and abundance attempts to enhance it. Such a person is motivated by such stirrings deeply from their core. As such peace is not passivity, but active -- it is the activity of love. Such people would not honor systems that create scarcity, competition, stealing from others, comparative advantage, war, or strife. Similarly, people whose HeartMind have become clarified and open love and honor freedom and do not enslave, oppress, nor support totalitarian police states. Rather they become engaged in wise activities which liberate, remove suffering, heal, and celebrate a life wedded in Great Spirit -- their actions acknowledge and honor the sacred in All Our Relations.
In identifying the causes of oppression and suffering we thus have to avoid obsessing "about" the negative (hate, greed, fear, and selfishness) of our fellow humanss especially so when we live in a materialistic, competitive, militaristic, capitalist, gulag society. This is not to say that one should turn away and ignore the oppression, exploitation, and lies while leaving them unacknowledged. However it will do no effective spiritual good to simply condemn it in outrage; or on the other hand glorify the perfection of love as a spiritual process on the other hand. The t the authentic challenge is in bringing the love, light, truth, happiness, kindness, justice, and joy through where it is absent -- grounding and manifesting spirit in everyday life -- embodying love and spirit in integrity here upon the earth as in "thy kingdom come -- thy will be done, here on earth as in heaven". This is the spiritual work of cleansing the HeartMind detailed elsewhere on Rainbowbody.net; however here we address the activities of the Heart versus activities of men whose hearts are occluded. Framed in this way, it is not a condemnation of others but an inquiry how humans have arrived at precipices of strife and dysfunction, and as such teaches the lesson of history, how we can learn not to repeat such errors of learning the hard way -- through more pain and suffering -- until wisdom dawns!
Processes based on love, compassion, ahimsa, justice, and peace do not encourage nor reward suffering, comparative advantage, greed, jealousy, adversity, hatred, fear, competition, strife, and more confusion. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out, but it does require a healthy mind and a good heart. It requires some degree of sensitivity, awareness, and sanity as well. It is taken as a given (a priori) that people collectively moved by transpersonal universal love are capable of moving mountains -- that when we act motivated by the universal non-dual Source (Great Integrity) acting in alignment and harmony with the natural joy of spirit, healing, abundance, wealth, peace, then true happiness manifests. This basic assumption of a natural altruistic ambition forms a most powerful momentum of its own. It opposes the perverse idea that man must be motivated by the whip, by scarcity, conflict, competition, fear, intimidation, greed, threat, or negative ambition.
Hence we return to the first paragraph:
"Through Universal Altruism we develop a feeling of true responsibility toward others; the wish to help all actively over come our problems".The Dalai Lama of Tibet
We have said that freedom has a price. In a democracy it is called, responsibility. Freedom does not mean to give up that responsibility to crooks or tyrants. That responsibility is not discharged by simply voting (giving consent). First a true democrat (one who values democracy) has to value freedom which requires becoming informed and free of the propaganda. That requires a critical and creative thought process -- a mindset that values truth over lies as well as free access to information. So the responsibility is to be informed while at the same time throwing off the propaganda of belief systems which desire to manipulate your mind (and hence manipulate you as their servants/slaves). Then one can act responsibly and effectively in helping self and others. That can move us into a happier, more just, and spiritual situation.
To sum up so far, mankind's long history of war, murder, plunder, exploitation, violence, rapaciousness, and suffering thus is not a natural phenomena (although normal) at all, but rather is a perversion and corruption, a fragmentation, a falling away from innate integration, from All Our Relations. It is fundamentally unnatural and anti-nature. It is egoic, arrogant, and based on the delusion that human can be separate and independent from nature and primordial wisdom -- from the Big Family. As such it is merely a symptom of man acting out from his spiritual malaise -- his alienated or out of attunement/alignment with the wholeness of creation/creator. Simply put all abuses, injury, oppression, and suffering that man brings upon himself is due to a basic spiritual pollution and spiritual self alienation -- a primal rift or separation -- the false identification of the self limitation imposed by the small self (ego) who arrogantly imagines himself to be independent-- a lack of "Self" understanding which has become institutionalized, an institutionalized and programmed barrier, obstruction, or impurity which has stained and occluded his HeartMind.
Here again we can divide/reduce this situation into two directions -- the direction toward Self Integrity -- the Great Binding (mahavratam) of yoga or All Our Relations-- which we will call the altruistic motive power -the pure ambition of a peace warrior, Bodhisattvas, or Christos) -- of non-dual transpersonal Love -- the power of the Great binding and Final Great Gathering. On the other hand, the aversion to this integration is a fragmentation and corruption by definition called the way of dissolution, spiritual self alienation, and false identification with a separate self or ego. This latter addiction or rather enslavement of is the neurotic or compensatory desire (motif) which contains hatred, fear, compensatory cravings and all the other secondary resultant spin offs such as greed, jealousy, competitiveness, malevolence -- all the manifold vagaries of humanity's many afflictions and oppressions. It is in the latter that the Heart has become chronically contracted and where one has lapsed into chronic forgetfulness -- "dis-memberance" -- fragmentation, alienation, corruption, and perversion. It is there in this stage where mankind has formed its pact with "sin" and corruption, where he harbors his own demons which haunt him, and which is calling for a cleansing -- where the Heart is deeply calling out to him to open up.
Simply put the expression of eternal Love and Joy -- of All Our Relations -- opposes exploitation, abuse, harm, oppression, exploitation, suffering, and killing of others -- thus it supports freedom, well being, and peace. Further it supports abundance, life, and healing. Pure air, pure water, low crime, non-toxic environment, low crime rates, less needs for armaments, less prisons, more attention to an empowering educational system, healthy agricultural policies, cleaner air and water, non-oppressive governments, more abundance, etc. All these effects and manifestations follow naturally from a common health motif and cause. These are natural consequences of Love and happiness. They appear to be "wise" or at least sane.
The Dysfunctional/Disempowering Mechanism of Externalization, Authoritarian/Totalitarian States, Demagoguery, and the Politics of Blame is the Result of Abandoning Self Responsibility: Freedom can only occur when we are willing and able to take "self" responsibility.
On the other hand, when confusion, selfishness, hate, fear, jealousy, and greed dominate people's hearts -- when the Heart has become contracted, contaminated, or oppressed -- then we see the manifestations of dissatisfaction, greed, selfishness, competition, strife, hatred, envy, fear, jealousy, in over consumption, rape, war, crime, murder, theft, deception, prejudice, bigotry, abuse, waste, pollution, slavery, suffering, and the like. In this occluded, confused, and sleepy state, hate and fear -- or rather paranoia, insecurity, and greed rules and thus one's activities, behavior and politics becomes correspondingly occluded, dark, perverse, corrupt -- what is commonly called evil. Extrapolating this illusion further then, externalized "enemies" are created as if some one else or some external group was perpetuating this evil upon us and thus a scapegoat, an objectified enemy, evil, or object of hatred and blame external to "self" is manufactured. This simpleminded approach is attractive to those seeking quick and simple answers and find it difficult to think because they have been given no tools to investigate their inner demons or conflicts -- because they have been separated from their inner spiritual authenticity and authority -- from living spirit. Thus an externalized/objectified enemy serves the neurotic purpose of directing their fear and confusion into hatred and pride, because they are at once absolved from any responsibility and at the same time their frustration, grief, and anger are sublimated (discharged and relieved albeit temporarily) toward an external object. Thus in psychic terms a temporary catharsis is created and the neuroses, guilt, pain, trauma, fear, and self hatred appears temporarily relieved by objectifying a surrogate enemy or demon.
This neurotic mechanism is more easily manipulated en mass through group illusions (creating consensus support for the illusion) as in an objectified enemy external to the group, ethnic identity, religious identity, state, or national identity, as in war. This serves the same temporary release/discharge of anxiety (fear, hate, guilt) for the neurotic again relieving self responsibility, self hatred, guilt, anger, and grief. If the enemy is associated with "evil", then the enemy of evil becomes absolved as "good". Although simpleminded this childish transference has occurred for thousands of years where demagogues have manipulated people's fears, prejudices, confusion, anger, and guilt, even to the point cooperation with their own oppression and genocide. Here a figure of authority becomes the mediator (be it king, father, fuehrer, president, priest, or pundit). This same neurotic mechanism can be invoked pointing the finger toward an internal "security" threat by a demagogue creating a totalitarian police state where no one is trusted, no individual freedoms are allowed, where critical thought and creative thought are seen as threats, where the threat of "an externalized, ubiquitous, insidious, and omni-present enemy" is amplified -- where people cower in fear and terror (and not coincidentally where fear and terror are self perpetuating). Although authoritarianism will inflate and attempt to propagate and hide behind the appearance of virtue, there can be no mistaking totalitarianism no matter how cute the mask as anything other than institutionalized slavery -- it thrives on fear, paranoia, neuroses, hatred, prejudice, suffering, and ignorance.
Here we will link together the fact that world peace and true security comes from peaceful and psychologic/spiritually secure people, rather than from insecure people; i.e., a domestic or international "security" problem is the result of psychological/spiritual insecurity; i.e., insecure people. To root out this "security" problem must include why and how people feel insecure in the first place; i.e., what are the cause and effect factors involved. Only then can the insecurity be successfully approached and remediated. Those who advocate war are themselves at war inside of themselves. Those who see the demons everywhere are obsessed/possessed with inner demons -- which we need to exorcise. They live in a shadow world which begs for illumination and it is up to us (even though we may feel oppressed by "them" to rise above our own grief and suffering to increasingly learn how to share the light. Only together will WE walk into the Heart of Hearts -- no other.
Here we will see that greed, jealousy, pride, hatred, and fear all come from a spiritual lack and more basic insecurity stemming from a spiritual estrangement from "Self" -- a primary sickness -- a separation from "All Our Relations". As a matter of fact all human made problems emanating from our any of our activities or institutions of so called education (which turns our children into parrots), a profit motivated disease care system (where disease pays), environmental protection (where pollution and poisons are justified), agriculture (where scarcity, starvation, and poisoning the soil, water, air, animals and people are promoted ), energy policies (where global warming, acid rain, ozone holes, and ecological destruction are promoted), and where war, crime, homelessness, disparity, inequality, scarcity, and genocide are daily promoted -- all of such are unhealthy and reflect unhealthy souls -- are a reflection of a pre-existing inner predilection and dynamic; i.e., they are all part of mankind's spiritual malaise/trauma -- the split from Self in All Our Relations. The institutionalization of this trauma has for too long governed the price of bread, the quality of our air and water, war or peace, feast or famine -- this type of government policy of course is dysfunctional and unhealthy -- it lacks joy and heart. Instead of celebrating life, it demeans it and as such it creates more self hatred and alienation. It is not due to poor leadership, but rather the willingness of the people to be misled -- to not to think for themselves and thus to not take responsibility. Vampires and parasites do not thrive unless there is carrion for them to feed upon.
We will show that every aspect of mankind's sociopolitical structures are a direct result of his alignment with Source -- his embodiment of love and happiness on one hand, or on the other to the lack thereto. Either man integrates his Creative Loving potential into daily life -- in harmony with Creation or he will suffer accordingly. Here we will show thus that not only irrelevant sociopolitical structures and modalities (both domestic and foreign) are affected, but rather our daily life in terms of the air we breathe, the cost of our food, how much we work; i.e., in terms of basic agricultural policies, health care policies, education policies, environmental policies, and the like all are concomitant as a cultural reflection of man's persona -- his identification and alignment with Source (creator) and Substance (Creation) or else his separation or corruption from it -- its absence. It is in this sacred field which living spirit plays the dominant role in our daily institutions which today is severely lacking because it governs our daily quality of life. This situation requires mankind's attention acknowledgement, consciousness, and embrace. As such it is a inner spiritual process first because before man can see the love and manifest it, he first has to experience it. Merely reading about it will not suffice.
In this light then any economic system can be evaluated in the light of this field -- of how well it brings forth abundance, love, peace, well being, health, self empowerment of its citizens, freedom, and happiness. Thus healthy food, health care, agricultural policies, work safety, environmental health, eco-systems, education, social security are all very much inter-related. It does not take much thought to link the facts that clean air, clean water, and clean food are necessary and vital to any economy that those who would justify poisoned air, toxic water, and cancerous food products are themselves toxic, poisonous, corrupt and polluted -- their minds and bodies have become corrupted; just as much those who religiously advocate competition, strife, scarcity, wars, prisons, exploitation of natural resources and people as "necessary" motivation. Indeed it does not require much thought at all to see that removing violence and harm to all beings as a motif and ambition will effect a higher quality of life, less waste, and more pro-active policies all bringing more abundance. The reason that such a motif has not been adopted is not so much that the greedy and powerful status quo parasitical vampires wish to keep their advantage in terms of increased status, wealth, and power (simply read fear, insecurity, attachment, and greed) and will stop at no deceit or abuse to keep such, but rather it is because that not enough loving and wise people have awoke -- have refused to become the symbionts for their own oppression.
Thus it should be clear that the way of the open and clear heart playing in the sacred field of love, well being, joy, and fulfillment differs greatly from that of the constricted heart anguishing in the bitter depths of desire, greed, paranoia, fear, disparity, greed, and competition. We will see how the former healthy spiritual perspective clashes with the latter and show their differing veins which run through the rungs of history in a psycho-history, spiritual history, or new "science" (if you will) of poli-psy or poli-spirituality.
