Your thoughts are appreciated but at the global level I tend to think that the individuals plotting everyone's future are doing so from their narcissistic and psychopathic tendencies. They are also operating under a permissive materialistic and utilitarian philosophy that is Darwinian and inhumane in nature. They are the fittest and the rest are not, therefore they are expendable.
I agree and was going to say similar if I worked up the example of the WEF - those at the top of that structure are clearly psychopathic, but I see the rank and file members - who enable them, are seduced by the power and money, and not least by the protection that comes with being a member of that club.
These people alive and well bec they dont take the pharma or poison injections they push on others. They accomplished shutting entire planet and turning every human into a prisoner in thier own home,fastracking the surveilance tech which is the new prison system ..trap..using fear of fake viruses
Book, Age of Surveilance Capitalism, good read.
the WEF tool of control. by design not allowing anyone to live freely and survive without a phone or computer, tracking tracing controling your ability to freely move without ID, cameras on every corner etc and digital money is how they control.now..Can you survive or be free without tech? Im still using only cash, tellers inside the bank, hardwired computer and landline, using local farms for 50% food
Last comment , I promise . The daughter of Marina the woman raised with the monkeys , said that her mother NEVER GETS SICK . She got a slight cold once , went to sleep for four hours and GONE . I believe that communicating with our own bodies with our own language , our own inner psyche is part of the healing process , so if it is focused on external stories , it can't focus on inner stories . Wim Hof , also maintains that very powerful inner "How I am feeling "conversation , and in two examples , once in an interview ( I watch and listen a lot to youtube , its incredible that we can in this day and age ) he was infected on purpose to experiment , in a hospital setting and felt it , fought it , and came out without being affected by a known infection . Then , once on an interview a male interviewer offered him a beer , at the start of the time to talk . I watched how he sort of checked in with his body , then , he sort of twitched with his whole body and said " Ok , sure , let's have a beer " - it was the same body response as the monkey lady , she sort of checks in with her body before talking . Laird Hamilton the big wave surfer waterman also is very body responsive when answering questions . Lately I am staring at the " Draw Bridge " of communication between body and mind , I think its a key to unlocking Parkinson's , Anorexia , Narcissism , and even Autism . Thank you for creating this page Gary and for allowing me to freely communicate here .
Re reading this because Ged Ferret liked the comment -- a good reminder to myself , to check in with myself , and not think I can manage anything outside myself until I am listening with ears and seeing with eyes that are attached to my own "story " -- I have the BEST small task job , working at a little hotel here by the shore , it is like a combination of faulty towers , Seinfeld , and Say Yes to the Dress , as they do weddings and some weekends have four weddings , with all family members involved staying with us and eating at the beautiful hall overlooking the river . But .... What happens is I am in the office room cube room , and people come in , do their thing , and then , they leave . After they leave I think about how they affected me , and how my body reacted . Because the interaction is so functional and for a guaranteed short period of time , I have had more chance of seeing my own reaction , and less opportunity to try to figure their story out , which is my usual protocol to stay alive ( Grew up in a loony bin , married a lunatic , and live in an insane society now ) -- but at my job , there is this sit com like moment , when the laugh track has quieted and the room is silent , and you are just waiting for the next person to walk in in full regalia -- costume , accent , ancestry , history , expectations , and I get to self assess , every time . Last night this guy walked in 10 minutes before closing , with almost no clothes on to get "Ice" from the ice machine . I talked loud , stared at the TV , told him the TIME that the door would be locked -- and wished him a good nights sleep . After though , I laughed a lot at the strange intimacy of these situations , yet they are liked locked inside of ice cubes -- they arrive then they melt and it's over . Now in my life outside of my job , I am getting better at differentiating the personalities and charachters of others , and also that many many people are living in a bubble of their own personal game plan , and actually extraordinarily disconnected from proper social norms , or even personal norms -- People need help , people need guidance , people need care .
It seems to me that today many people do not want to understand how to live in the world, especially the natural world. Instead, they want a simulated world to live within them. This marginalizes and miniaturizes their life experience. I suspect that it is a source of the disorders that Janae speaks of.
Ed, I believe you are talking about being "dis-embodied." Western culture is very mind-driven: logical, linear, rational, quatifiable, material, and focused on information.
Cultures that are more tribal and primordial in nature tend to be "embodied." They see things in context, the big picture, understand individuals are not just categories; have empathy, social connection and bonding, focused on the evolving, changing, interconnected, unknown.
These opposites exactly describe the differences between L and R hemispheres of the both the human and global brain.
Yes. I am. He describes what I have known intuitively and experientially all my life. I always felt the outsider because I was very analytical about things and very emotional at the same time. I did see those paired In people. They were one or the other. I didn’t fit in. With analytical people, I was too emotional. With emotional people, I saw things that the could not see. McGilchrist is a great gift to the world.
Same here . . . and it's a real challenge to swim again the "mental current." There are literally thousands of people writing about the extend of the "problems," analysis ad nauseam, and only a small handful of people who are looking for transformation and a way out of this matrix. Nice to find a fellow up-stream swimmer.
I was listening to a guy say " The right brain wants to make the left brain think like it does -- where as most people who are in their connective intuitive mind , are happy when someone knows how to swing a hammer and hit the nail head with it . The left brain is happy to experience differential , but the right brain ( and maybe I have the left and right mixed up ) does not like to change its plans . McGilcrest says that by nature , female brains are absolutely more balanced , and by nature ( biological nature ) male brains are asymmetrical . In a society where the male female
level of fairness is skewed , our whole way of thinking is going to be skewed , just as you wrote in your comment above , Janae .
At the risk of the fundamental attribution error, I can see the pathology of self-delusional, would-be 'white knights' as similar to chain-of-command, micro-managers in the classroom or work place.
The more they intervene without first knowing themselves, as opposed to observing and flowing with nature, the more likely they will only ultimately destroy what they attempt to manage ... pretty much in the same way that pathological narcissists destroy political institutions and machiavellian opportunists destroy businesses.
This post was meant to be on the "white knights" topic, but somehow ended up being something else! There is certainly a propensity in some ideologies/behaviours to criticize and blame everyone else, while not being self-reflected or attending to their own failures!
LOL ... I like it! It shows you are following your nose and going with the flow. I can empathize with starting at one end of a rabbit hole and not knowing where it will lead. Meh ... all roads lead to Rome. I just hope we can avoid the Neros and Caligulas behind the palace gates. 😄
I was thinking off and on how easily the institutional opportunists identify and use the 'white knight' in foreign teachers. Managers and small school owners have been known to short change the teacher, pay late, or not pay at all ... and when the teacher threatens to leave, they are immediately hit with a tried and true emotional blackmail technique of 'What about those poor students depending on you?'
Oh and that point about critiquing others while blind to the mote in our own eye, I was surprised (and not) to find the Japanese have the same expression as 'when one finger points to the flaws in others, three fingers point back at ourselves'.
The more i learn about Japan and the Japanese, the less 'exceptional' or 'unique' I see the culture. I'm leaning towards a thin veneer theory of culture, and underneath it all, 'people are people' ... with more than a few 'snakes in suits' thrown in.
I just want to say - to really clarify , am I being mean to my mother ? NO . She is going to a nursing home where she used to teach art herself , in my sister's town , where her three wonderful teenage grandchildren will be near - as well as my sister and her husband . However , she must engage her spoken personality with her body if she wants to progress and rebalance , and , she must become engaged in a balanced self awareness if she is going to be able to be a good member of the care community that she will be living in . Care partnership is the way to go , both in the patients mind and the care workers minds . If she has an imbalanced attitude , they will have to work harder than they are being paid to do . Appreciating the work others are doing , goes hand in hand with appreciating our own beautiful body structures and our own spiritual truth . I used to think that revering old people because they were old, but ... no more . Sometimes, they are more like temper tantrum fueled three year olds , going through transitions of power and really need assistance with those transition .
Yes, I see all these sorts of dynamics in the care home where I live. Interesting to see the changes as some go through the different stages of dementia. Also, the differences between people with PD, Lyme and MS.
Care ? homes...then they further drug these poor elderly people to keep them sedated and not fighting back..then they murder with morphine and call it comfort "care". I will never go to a "doctor " legalized drug pusher who creates " patients".
Gary, excellent article!! I believe these unproductive nervous system responses are caused by inconsistent caregiving experiences (i. e. attachment) during the first year of life. Extended or too frequent energetic disconnects with mother/known caregivers create a form of insecure attachment known as Disorganized Attachment. The primary coping skill these children develop is CONTROL -- and a set of behaviors I call The Little General. They become experts at organizing the environment around their mother and caring for others, but they are chaotic internally and disconnected from their own needs.
There are two other adaptive behaviors associated with Disorganized Attachment: The Lost Child and the Solicitous Caregiver. All these "styles" are very difficult to heal, as they are rooted deeply in the psyche . . . and psychotherapeutic interventions often take people into regressive, psychotic states, which very few professionals have done themselves and therefore lack "containment" skills.
More and more I think most of the world is attachment disordered, which is what makes us so easy to control and vulnerable to mass formation psychosis, propaganda, and psyops.
Yes, I agree that adverse childhood experiences/developmental trauma is at the heart of these styles and responses. I really need to get stuck into Attachment type theories, and add it into my thinking about styles, and see how they overlap with say Heller's Survival Styles.
my 85 year old mom is in a beautiful hospital recovering from a viral infection , as her mind is coming back in tune , and she is slowly becoming strong and able to stand and walk , her attitude went into this yukky spirit of arrogance , "when they give me a diagnosis " " The food is not very palatable" " If they let me get up " and I literally yelled at her to get that attitude and chuck it , because then the people giving her beautiful help will have to not only do their work , but also work at deal with her GAME , which is an artificial defense system .
She cried < I said stop crying that is just another route out of facing this , then incoming a nurse to help her move to her chair , change the sheets with fresh sheets .... and inside of this simplified setting it is so EASY for me to see the False Affect of domination games , perhaps based on insecurity , perhaps based on a lifetime of it working , and perhaps coming from a learned mannerism , to be applied when in doubt , however .....
I said to her that if she wants to get her body working she is going to have to inhabit it , and not float around in pie in the sky land , better than thou , and do what I say - dictatorship . This split in the psyche , when the mouth does not speak for the body actual , rather speaks to the other person in the room , to see how it can hook a fish , is very serious to me , as this disconnect is so prevalent in this social order that we do not even notice it . .... fast forwards to this OTHER WOMAN < the Girl With No Name , Marina Chapman , who apparently was
living feral in a forest in Columbia between the formative ages of 4 and 8 ...
What is beautiful to me is to WATCH her videos , where she is being interviewed , when asked a question , her body seems to tingle and move before answering , her words describe her feelings as priority , and her languaging is completely centered , and there is absolutely ZERO manipulation or counter game in the interviewer . Its the most fascinating thing to study for me .
Another great resourse is Jean Leidloff "the Continuum Concept " and as well " The People of the Deer " getting back to stories about people who were working with nature as their focus , and the people around them as same similar . "Rabbit Proof Fence " from Austrailia , also shines a light on self managed centered individual behavior , that then becomes interactive , confronting externallly managed behavior that falsely promises results that would benefit .
This is relevant to a post that I am working on now. It got to 4600 words. Time to trim. I'm addressing how difficult it is as moderns to become "one with nature." Too many mediating structures for our own good.
I realize I should know, but are you writing anywhere? If not you should. Very smart stuff.
Thank you Ed , but don't limit your words to a count - Normal people talk for three weeks together day and night before they actually start talking about a new concept . I write poetry and songs . This is the hot topic of now , the relationship that we have with nature , and likewise , the relationship we have with our own bodies , be it the immune system , the nervous system , or mostly , our brain filter system , which I see the brain as a mushroom filter , rather than a "Thing " that does something . The only thing it does is filter , like a placenta , and in that it is quantum , meaning relational / My current theory work is based on the understanding of the "Drawbridge " that lays between the body and the mind , and that is something that I do not think is in the brain , if anything , it is the basal ganglia - but please , when you get your thoughts together I would like to know where to read them . J
"I can’t help but point to the World Economic Forum, as a globalized culmination of a pathological obsessive-compulsive need by a very small group of people to control what the rest of humanity does, says and thinks, in order to keep themselves and their resources safe."
It is a psychopathic, entropic mindset that is fear-based and thus generates fear.
I think this is a non-Divine "engine" of sorts because it promotes disharmony which leads to poor mental state and begets disease.
Excellent thanks. Emerging from the present totalitarianism will involve examining our own spy and spiritual states. Revolutions are always both inner and outer.
Thank you for helping me to understand what my own personal observation meant, not knowing caused me to be baffled and very frustrated! My instinct. and beliefs kept nagging me, I could not wrap my head around what exactly I had been witnessing. I had constantly been asking myself, "why are people still wearing masks and believing lies, something is just not normal here..." I now have a new understanding to the questions as to why it is people are still mask wearers, get vaxxed and boosters, (yes I do realize some are forced into it by the totalitarian freaks & creeps in Gov. enforcing lousy mandates only for power, control and let's never forget, self-embellishments $$$), and still to this day, after all the evidence and FACTS proving that masks and C-19 vaccines do NOTHING but harm, injure and worse... kill! Is it not a psychological operation perpetrated on to people/sheeple by the enemies at the top down! I speak for myself in saying, what a mind blowing experience and sadly, not a fun one at that!

While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation. They put him in custody, because it had not been made clear what should be done to him. And the Lord said to Moses, “The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” And all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, as the Lord commanded Moses.” Numbers 15:32-36

The church was a place where the rich and poor congregated on an even plain , where the spiritual towers over the material ( an irony to be sure) in communication, to be judged by their merits in the eyes of all ( god was a symball for people to share with each other, and show some decency to each other in the public eye ) at least for a few hrs a week

I see exactly what you see. It lurks like a sleeper cell in people until something sets it off. Once it does, there is little chance of correcting it.
And I see it at the institutional level. For organizations, psychologically, are just individuals writ large.

This split in the psyche , when the mouth does not speak for the body actual , rather speaks to the other person in the room , to see how it can hook a fish , is very serious to me , as this disconnect is so prevalent in this social order that we do not even notice it . .... fast forwards to this OTHER WOMAN < the Girl With No Name , Marina Chapman , who apparently was
living feral in a forest in Columbia between the formative ages of 4 and 8 ...
What is beautiful to me is to WATCH her videos , where she is being interviewed , when asked a question , her body seems to tingle and move before answering , her words describe her feelings as priority , and her languaging is completely centered , and there is absolutely ZERO manipulation or counter game in the interviewer . Its the most fascinating thing to study for me .
Another great resourse is Jean Leidloff "the Continuum Concept " and as well " The People of the Deer " getting back to stories about people who were working with nature as their focus , and the people around them as same similar . "Rabbit Proof Fence " from Austrailia , also shines a light on self managed centered individual behavior , that then becomes interactive , confronting externallly managed behavior that falsely promises results that would benefit .
This is relevant to a post that I am working on now. It got to 4600 words. Time to trim. I'm addressing how difficult it is as moderns to become "one with nature." Too many mediating structures for our own good.
I realize I should know, but are you writing anywhere? If not you should. Very smart stuff.
Thank you Ed , but don't limit your words to a count - Normal people talk for three weeks together day and night before they actually start talking about a new concept . I write poetry and songs . This is the hot topic of now , the relationship that we have with nature , and likewise , the relationship we have with our own bodies , be it the immune system , the nervous system , or mostly , our brain filter system , which I see the brain as a mushroom filter , rather than a "Thing " that does something . The only thing it does is filter , like a placenta , and in that it is quantum , meaning relational / My current theory work is based on the understanding of the "Drawbridge " that lays between the body and the mind , and that is something that I do not think is in the brain , if anything , it is the basal ganglia - but please , when you get your thoughts together I would like to know where to read them .

Thank you.
Where do I find your writing?
Here's the post.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
Try saying this next time you are in an emotional pickle.
You might be surprised how calming it is, to repeat if necessary.
THIS:
"I can’t help but point to the World Economic Forum, as a globalized culmination of a pathological obsessive-compulsive need by a very small group of people to control what the rest of humanity does, says and thinks, in order to keep themselves and their resources safe."
It is a psychopathic, entropic mindset that is fear-based and thus generates fear.
I think this is a non-Divine "engine" of sorts because it promotes disharmony which leads to poor mental state and begets disease.
Just writing the WEF up as a worked example now...
Great comments. There is a holistic perspective here that would be very interesting to explore as a live Zoom chat.
In addition, I want to say is that this is parallel to what I wrote about discernment. https://edbrenegar.substack.com/p/synthetic-discernment
Thanks.
💯 spot on
Excellent thanks. Emerging from the present totalitarianism will involve examining our own spy and spiritual states. Revolutions are always both inner and outer.
Some people wont give up wanting more because they are in love with themselves unable to understand that others live also
Thank you for helping me to understand what my own personal observation meant, not knowing caused me to be baffled and very frustrated! My instinct. and beliefs kept nagging me, I could not wrap my head around what exactly I had been witnessing. I had constantly been asking myself, "why are people still wearing masks and believing lies, something is just not normal here..." I now have a new understanding to the questions as to why it is people are still mask wearers, get vaxxed and boosters, (yes I do realize some are forced into it by the totalitarian freaks & creeps in Gov. enforcing lousy mandates only for power, control and let's never forget, self-embellishments $$$), and still to this day, after all the evidence and FACTS proving that masks and C-19 vaccines do NOTHING but harm, injure and worse... kill! Is it not a psychological operation perpetrated on to people/sheeple by the enemies at the top down! I speak for myself in saying, what a mind blowing experience and sadly, not a fun one at that!
Glad it helped. No not fun, and quite scary!
The WEF elite are not suffering from chronic illness. Bill gates, elon musk, trump , Buffet, alive and well despite being richest psycopaths consumed with controlling the world.
Excellent read Gary. Yes, let's stop wasting energy. Resilience is key.

The problem with anarchy is that it has been given a bad wrap, probably due to its utility in creating disunity. Much like re- LEGION.
THE OLDEST AND MOST HIDDEN LIE- is possibly in religious tampering by powerful men. You know the ones.... philanthropists (our betters) I think something fundamental to human profession has been lost I translation ( censored)
The IMAGE of God-
'WE ARE MADE IN his IMAGE'
FALSE. We are MAD in his image. ( It must have been a typo) We are divided by this falsity.
God and the devil are one beast called man; stumbling around Eden like a toddler with a knife.
Man is HIS own reflection? ( just remove the glorified capitals AND THE TRUTH IS REVEALED) Image, I mage, MAGI. 'Oh my LOGOS.'
The false is not external from the truth.
Truth and life are not separate from falsehoods and death. We are out of whack. Oh my dog!
Lies are the souls infectious and terminal diseases. Lies are Hydra.
The Triangle and mentoring
' in alchemical symbolism, the triangle represents the three planes of existence which we experience in our journey of human consciousness. There is the physical plane (body), the mental plane (mind) and the astral plane (spirit or soul).'
An honest contribution- could be one where a person helps oneself by helping others.
Without honest reflection of my abilities to contribute, I must call for help and advice first. Substack is great for this!
Advice from acclaimed guides and parents-
Mentors, Minotaurs and other foster- fathers.
What will you foster in me?
I will only listen if I intuit that there is no ulterior motive. A to do this a mentor must be indifferent to the outcome of his/ her projections? What if personal love of the mysteries of life is the projection?
"We can't have moral obligations to every single person in this world. We have moral obligations to those who we come up against, who enter into our moral space, so to speak. That means neighbours, people we deal with, and so on." -Alexander McCall Smith…
Road- base: aggregation- needs clay, and little rocks of all sizes, people need a road and a foundation, random people getting together
Group- think and other oversized or partisan crap does not scale well- neither does morality, equality, good intentions, communities, charity, technology, religion, science or regulation.
Finding one's own path to love and living-
'Love must have the strength to reach certainty for itself. Only then does it stop undergoing the power of attraction, but exerts it.' - Herman Hesse :Demian
Children +he beneficiaries of lies.
You owe me your life.
I have sacrificed.
Thankyou Father, thankyou Mother.
I am in your debt, forever can you heap apon me your desires and your failings.
Your heirlooms are unwanted
Air looms- tools imbued by their descendants with light or dark energy.
Early 15c., ayre lome, a hybrid from heir + loom (n.) in its original but now otherwise obsolete sense of "implement, tool," extended to mean "article." Technically, some piece of property that by will or custom passes down with the real estate. General sense of "anything handed down from generation to generation" is from 1610s.
Mixed messages-
' you'r special and have the ability to do anything you want to in this world. ' as long as we approve..... ' thanks mummy. When do I get my I scream.
' You are a bad boy for not doing what we want, so you will receive out righteous punishment '.:
You will make us look bad in front of the commune. We do this out of love.
'I will show you a bad boy.... '
While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation. They put him in custody, because it had not been made clear what should be done to him. And the Lord said to Moses, “The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” And all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, as the Lord commanded Moses.” Numbers 15:32-36
Communions - Come Minions
The church was a place where the rich and poor congregated on an even plain , where the spiritual towers over the material ( an irony to be sure) in communication, to be judged by their merits in the eyes of all ( god was a symball for people to share with each other, and show some decency to each other in the public eye ) at least for a few hrs a week
If nothing else was redeemable from religion
