The Forsaken Self, a Lie and a Fraud

Liar,
Liar,
Pants on fire.

This article is about two issues:

I. The damaged child, who is taught that cruelty and even violence are expressions of love

II. The damaged adult, who still believes in the crucial importance of "secret information"

Herein you can learn why there is very few in this country with a true "sense of self" and why that has allowed Barack Obama to get away with defrauding the American people of their God-given rights. Here is an excerpt from the terrific article by Arthur Silber:

"Secret Information": Giving Up Your Life for a Vicious Lie

You can consult the articles linked above (and follow the internal links for much more on this) to appreciate the full scope of the fraud represented by "intelligence." The crucial point is that "intelligence" as it is thought of by most people -- and as it is marketed by the State -- is a fraud from start to finish. It is a damnable, unforgivable lie. I will probably have some narrower comments about Obama's speech, but the speech in its entirety is premised on a complete fabrication, on a conception of "intelligence" that corresponds to the facts and the truth at not even a single point. In that sense, Obama's speech is nothing but a lie. 

I am painfully aware that my position represents an almost undetectable minority view. Very few people agree with me. Among other things, that is a testament to the training and conditioning to which all of us have been subjected. As children, we often had no choice but to accept our parents' and other authority figures' claims to "secret information," which was one of the supposed justifications for commanding our obedience. Most people carry this belief system into adulthood without alteration or serious challenge. An authority figure makes a serious pronouncement, and most adults are prepared to accept it; you see this dynamic with "experts" in all fields, even when what they say is obvious nonsense. The President makes a series of claims that have nothing to do with the truth, and there is no wise child -- and there are almost no adults -- who will declare: "You're a liar, and you're naked, too." 

But I'll say it: You, Barack Obama, are a goddamned, bloody liar. And put some fucking clothes on.

Will This Work?

Deepak Chopra Leads Meditation at Occupy Wall Street

Here was Deepak’s meditation for the group. “I just want to do a two minute meditation, or even less. Put your hand on your heart and just ask yourself internally what kind of world do I want to live in? And listen. Do it now. And now ask yourself how can I make that happen? How can I make that happen from a place of love, compassion, joy and equanimity? Simple anger will only perpetuate what already is out there. It was created by greed and fear. We have to go beyond that, and come from a place of compassion, centered equanimity and creativity. Once again, ask yourself, how can I be the change that I want to see in the world? Thank you.”

 How do you defeat fear, greed and anger? Deepak says: "[A]sk yourself, how can I be the change that I want to see in the world?" It all starts with you. That's the little known secretive message coming out of all these "Occupy" movements all over the World.

"[A]sk yourself how can I make that happen? How can I make that happen from a place of love, compassion, joy and equanimity? Simple anger will only perpetuate what already is out there." 

What is the answer? How does a calm person working "from a place love, compassion, joy and equanimity" effect ANY positive change? Without HARMONIOUS INTENT, you don't. It's as simple as that.
It's also how you defeat bullies when they believe they have the right to beat you - You stop cooperating with them. You stop giving them permission to beat you. You act with purpose and right. You defend you legitimate right to exist same as everyone else.

So, there you have it - How to occupy and take possession of yourself while taking possession of what is rightfully yours - the Earth.

Locally there are the Occupy Humboldt: Bringing the Revolution to Humboldt and Occupy Eureka movements.  [Source]

How to Love Your Enemies – A Timely Way

The following article by Deepak Chopra was published in the San Francisco Chronicle and on his own website today. For anyone that believes they are Christians then writes the kind of personal invective published in the newspaper here, here and here. I don't know if you'd call these people extremist, far right, conservative Republicans or what? Their ideology and belief-motivated conduct expressed in their articles match, in spirit if nothing else, the justification by the Norwegian Anders Breivik for his vicious attack on fellow countrymen and women, people he believes are his mortal enemies.

How to Love Your Enemies (Really)

Although devotion to Christianity is often required in modern-day American politics, one of its central teachings—to love your enemy—is overlooked. Former President Bill Clinton has commented on the virulence of the political atmosphere that seemed to drastically increase during his time in office. Instead of winning against your opponent, he observed, the new attitude was that the other side needed to be destroyed. As a result, the sense of being colleagues or of reaching across the aisle was lost—and remains lost. The other party is nothing less than the enemy.

The difficult question of how to love your enemy goes much deeper than this. Many teachings in the New Testament clash with psychological reality. To love someone who hates you, like turning the other cheek when someone hits you, seems like a spiritual ideal that can't be attained except by saints. Who among us is a saint?

We could turn the issue around, however. Saintliness becomes realistic by seeing it as a state of higher consciousness. Christ was talking about personal transformation. That much seems to be beyond doubt. "Higher consciousness" is not a religious term, however, even if Christ does point to the kingdom of heaven being within. My purpose is not to argue that personal transformation is specifically Christian. But it is the key to loving your enemy.

"God-Speak" and The Dreamer

 

[COMMENT UPDATE Below - Look who monitor's this Report]

 

Dave Stancliff adds another sleazy contribution to his many indictments of self. The irony here is that he is unable to see, let alone understand, that what he says to me are really statements about himself. He can't live my life, even though he keeps trying. He can only live in his own little fantasy world - his world of dreams. His problem, demonstrated by his constant ad hominem litany, is that he keeps getting his fixated dreams mixed up with what he "thinks" is real. If not, he would not keep trying to convince himself that everyone else is as confused and as mixed up about reality and life as he is.

Relevance. The problem is not that I'm afraid or unable to protect and defend my family from predatory, racist lunatics that keep crawling out of the sewer assaulting anyone they think they can get at. The statement made is that the anonymity of the writer(s) of this Report should be considered a "gift." Problem is, the Dave Stancliff's of this world are too stupid to understand what that might mean. Then too, everything he's lyingly accused me of being and doing, really only defines him and since I never take (almost never, ever) anything personally (The Second Agreement) I do not need to be sorely tempted.

Irrelevance. Notice in his last comment his inability to distinguish between what is said directly "to" someone or observations "about" someone. (D. Stancliff below: "If I'm so irrevelant (sp)..why do you continue to write about me?") I used the word "think" above advisably, because even when I explain the difference and why he is so totally "irrelevant" regardless of his continuing attempts to force me (us) to acknowledge or recognize him in some way directly, he still is unable to comprehend. I (we) don't write about him. That is a total waste of time and energy. What he says and does, his conduct and behavior is another matter. Perhaps a quote from an esteemed Bible writer would help explain: "Hate what is evil; cling to what is good." -Romans 12:9 NIV.

Objective Observation. I and Joe Blow write this blog Report anonymously in order to retain its primary purpose: impersonal objectivity. Objectivity means we focus on the "object," NOT the "subject." Dave Stancliff is unable to make the distinction. The distinction being, D. Stancliff is the "subject," what he thinks, believes, says, writes or does is the "object." When the Report makes observations about his newspaper column no one is writing about, commenting about or attacking Dave Stancliff the person. When he comes on my blog and tells me and the whole world that I am a "hatemonger" for writing about his conduct, he changes the rules. Our observations are now about "him," - the subject. So, we observe that such conduct generally is derived from the conduct of a racist-based personalities. Which is generally consistant with people that are unable to distinguish reality from fantasy.

Remember, "hatemonger" is defined as: 1) A person who kindles hatred, enmity, or prejudice in others - 2) One who incites others to hatred or prejudice. -- Even with capital letters, Stancliff never justifies his accusations. Not one example! But, then that would show some respect for the reader. That way you, the reader, could decide for yourself if what he says is the truth. That is not the way of little tin gods. -tin god:
"An often pompous or dictatorial person who demands or receives more respect than is merited."

Interesting observation, though, based upon feedback, people see right through Stancliff and his god-like dictates and demands in his vain attemps to get people to make him relevant by focusing on him. When the Dave Stancliff's of this world measure up to "this" standard, maybe then we can all accept these little would-be tin god's disrespect and think and believe exactly what they tells us is and is not. "This": Love for Enemies - Words of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. - Holy Bible, New International Version. [Emphasis added]

Dave has left a new comment on your post "Warmonger Writes About Peace II":

Looks like the multiple personalities are back.

Back when I was talking to the personality that calls himself Joe, I thought there might be a chance of civil communication.

But your osession with me, coupled with anger, has brought back the "we" - or all those voices in your head.

Just want to let you "all" know that I'm not going to write about you, because that's what you really want; some form of
recognition.

Oh yeah, why would you have to move to Brazil if you let people know who you are(your words)?

Could it be you fear retaliation from all of your HATE MONGERING on your blog?

If I'm so irrevelant..why do you continue to write about me?

Like I said, I'm not going to write about you because this appears to be your goal. Sorry, all of you will just have to suck wind and move on.
