The Fall, Redemption and Play

The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us. ~ Paul Valery

Been writing up a storm of late regarding the Fall and Redemption...as always the solution is Play.

PLAY AND THE COURAGE TO FACE REALITY
As whole persons and mature citizens it is required of us to face reality "as it is" in order to be motivated to change in the right direction. This is the duty of the sovereign. In fact you are not sovereign at all if you prefer to avoid the shadow nature of humanity to pretend various utopias. However the crucial difference between the sovereign and the sheep, is that the sovereign doesn't hold onto the knowledge of the dark and the weak, but transmutes both inner and outer ignorance within their own flesh. The key to doing this is to "blow the fear-charge" off of the heart to avoid contraction of consciousness and separation from the All.  Discharging tension from the heart can be done in many ways, but the simplest way is to do a series of forceful sharp out-breaths. This is especially effective while walking outside. Then while doing this feel into the transcendental, futuristic and magical nature of reality in order to infuse the brain with more visionary chemistry. Then directly engage in a series of actions to propel you and your community forward. Out (release), In (revibe), Do (actions). By not fearing fear we become invincible and fully human at the same time.

There is no reason in this day and age to not let go and say a single unambiguous Yes to life! It is only ignorance that holds us back. Sovereign Will is courage, and courage is having the heart to do the right thing. Thus we see that sovereignty IS heart-intelligence. While ignore-ance is a failure of heart-intelligence. Only by tolerating the truth of the darkness and weakness of our human nature can we put it in the correct perspective, learn from our mistakes and move on to encompass greater strength and maturity. Thus sovereignty is synonymous with the courage to face ourselves and the Real. Sovereignty means the recovery of our innate egalitarianism (we are all one) through realizing our full brain and heart capacities. When we have the courage to face ourselves, we can infuse the world with beneficent, glorious and creative intelligence. Remember it is not so much "damage" that led to a hierarchical/machine culture, but “latency”...that is, not using our potential capacities and levels of consciousness because we didn't know they were there. Only now with the easing of the threat to our physical survival are we now beginning to get an inkling of how miraculous a species we are, and the infinite mystery of life and the universe.

In the immortal words of Theron Dumont, “There is a wonderful inherent power within us all, and there is never any sufficient cause for fear, except ignorance.” 98, The Power of Concentration.

Facing reality requires a brain and self-system which will not crack under the strain of greater awareness, but instead will become permeable to information from multiple layers of awareness including primary perception and gnosis. The sovereign state is merely the reestablishment of our inherent noble condition and “full capacities.” Ability depends on the openness to ideas, and this flexibility is the result of the maturation of the mind-brain toward the pinnacle of cognitive function…what Piaget called reversibility thinking. This is the ability of the mind to traverse a spectrum of equally valid states to explore the continuum of possibility and then return to the original perspective. Thus operational thinking develops mental actions that are multi-perspectival or reversible while the myopic egocentric position diminishes.

This labile ability of the expansion, detachment and distancing of the focal point of the mind’s eye reveals that sovereignty is simply the rare condition of “human adulthood.”  In human adulthood when we are somewhat conversant with integral thought, alchemy, science, mythology, philosophy, anthropology and history etc... information is held more in an alchemical context in those individuals that have transcended formal operations, normalization and anxiety conditioned acculturation. The human adult is not possessed by, nor does he possess, or cling to the stream of ideological content that flows through his worldview…and in this way the human adult’s thinking has the potential for originality, creativity and the generation of novelty. Because the human adult or sovereign is sourced from the ground of being beyond the anthropic world, he doesn’t seek to be “right,” but seeks to express his “unique” Self regardless of how it is received. Play is the means by which we become a "human adult."

“The gnostic message is about is the choice to select what you believe.” John Lamb Lash

However this maturation of the cognitive faculties of self-sufficiency, autonomy and independence requires certain developmental circumstances in order to manufacture the sovereign brain. The definitive book that presents an overview of child development as it relates to human potential is Magical Child (1977). Joseph clearly articulates the loss of humanity that occurs at the very beginning of life with our Western practices of birthing and raising children. He sees this unnecessary loss of breadth of consciousness and creative potential as an ongoing monumental tragedy of epic proportions.

Joseph refers to the structure of knowledge or worldview that we each create as the “matrix.” He says that bonding is the essence of intellectual growth, ability and agency for it the principle means of the establishment of our matrix. He relates how the unbonded person searches for the matrix and uses all their intellectual activity in the pursuit of a ground of knowing. Intelligence has its own innate laws for growth and the anxiety ridden, work focused adult can greatly damage the organic basis for intelligence in the brain, body and heart of the child. Development is the result of the interaction of intent with the world and this relationship forms the matrix of self-knowledge and self-sufficiency. When the shift of the matrix from the mother to the earth fails to take place, logic has no way to organize concrete patterns into abstraction. Anxiety thus arises due to never having the earth as our matrix to orient ourselves in the world. With a primary process/earth schism we are groundless and so try to fabricate a matrix with thought and identification. Joseph points out that the aborted second birth between the ages of 4 to 7 years leaves us functionally separate from the earth, with a conscious ego system that is not integrated with the primary processes of our old brain. The left-brain is the center of the social self, generally known as normal consciousness, while the "second subliminal mind" is comprised of the right-brain which provides field awareness and the older brain which is the seat of body-earth rapport or primary process.
 
Thelma Moss, director of the Neuropsychiatric Institute, theorizes that bio-communication arrives at an unconscious level, and must rise up through the personal unconscious, receiving on the way to the surface the distortions of primary process, molded by the specialized brain and personality of the receiver. Psi, intuition, nature-union and gnostic wisdom are the primary perception source of deep morality, Gaian intelligence, compassion, soul vocation, art and genius. Our masculine understanding of spiritual hierarchy is upside down and unreal, for our highest creative cognition and our spiritual states are reliant on initial childhood social and nature bonding in order to facilitate whole brain functioning.

The corpus callosum, the connection between the brain hemispheres, starts developing around 3 years of age and psi abilities become strongest around 4 years of age as primary perception is prominent and earth bonding is undertaken during active imaginative play. Play serves a survival function through the exploration of aspects of life in a random, purposeful, enthusiastic, joyful and successful way. The structuring of worldview and potential for higher intelligence is thus built during the formative years of child’s play. Note this is not the rote learning of facts, but a joyous physical, emotional, mental and spiritual engagement with the world through autonomous volition. This type of free welding play in nature is the origins of personal power through the establishment of a strong earth-bond matrix.

If we failed to make the necessary transition from mother to earth during the 4-7 year period, or if bonding was inadequate, trauma experienced, or access to nature-play denied, then less differentiation and specialization in the brain occurs. If sequential developmental cues are aborted then the adult remains somewhat of  an egocentric infant - dissociated from body-wisdom, earth-gnosis and socially compliant to the given consensus. Once out of touch with our primary perception we resist it breaking through into our contracted atrophied awareness for it would disorient and destabilize our given ideological constructs. This essentially is the Borg condition in which the mind is closed and running on a set program with little flexibility and novelty. This is the type of descended humanity that would fight resource wars and destroy the earth while using fundamentalist religion to try and justify its errant behavior. Bonding is one aspect of primary process that lays down the foundation for whole-persona functioning and establishes the active, integrated earth citizen with high moral integrity.

The inner schism generated by insufficiently rich wiring during crucial developmental stages leads to selective inattention, unquestioned sanctioning of a pathological consensus, plus the alienation from a deeper experience of ourselves and the world. Thus Joseph believes that active, imaginative play is the most important of all childhood activities because that cultivates a mastery of one's environment and "creative competence." Children without that form of open-ended play develop feelings of isolation and anxiety, which along with depression and cognitive impairment are reaching pandemic proportions in today’s world. Allowing our children the full biological potential for their innate intelligence through establishing a fearless, non-punitive, loving and richly stimulating social and natural environment would go a long way to establishing a society of actualized, non-addicted, sovereign mystics and whole-persons.

I have been focusing on the heart-intelligence thingi to see if I could find the master series of the sovereignty practices...I found this one last night.

• Serpient Kissing Lovers—This meditation is the most advanced sovereignty building exercise to date. Lie on your back in bed or on the ground in nature. Place the right hand under the left breast with the thumb point up on the sternum; place the left hand cupping the right ribcage over the liver with the thumb pointing up on the sternum. Now feel-sense a caduceus inside the body with the double helix going up the spine and the two snake heads as the brain hemispheres. Focus attention on the top of the forebrain and sense a kissing of the hemispheres at the crest of the forehead. This is done in association with active dropping of discursive thought and inner/outer conflicts by focusing peace into the brainstem, opening the heart to the forebrain and breathing into areas in the body that seem blocked. As the charge builds up there is a very real sense of maturity, parenting, royalty, rulership, empowerment and one pointed attention. If it is dark you might see two merging light balls with the inner eye, which ultimately form into one ball of light. Magically through building up our sovereign state we allow others to come into their own empowerment and freedom. All conflicts in the outer world can be first resolved in the inner landscape. The Kissing Lovers sensercise essentially allows a nondual alchemical means of overcoming ego and conditioning and to transcend stress and disorder by working through all that stands in the way of this sublime integration.

“He who has a firm will molds the world to himself.” Goethe

If we were a perfect superconductor we would have perfect will and live as a visionary mystic. Higher will is the soul. The source of life energy is the soul, which is composed of light (photons) and sound (phonons). This field of energy is both the organiser and animator of our form and consciousness. When there is perfect "touch" or superconduction between the subcellular components and between the cells themselves then communication is sublime and we experience what is known as cosmic consciousness or God. As we approach this spiritualized mode of being where "all is love" we enter into perfect relationship with the universe.
 
When we eat cooked food and substances that have been damaged from their state in nature our cell membranes and entire organism gets coated in inflammatory fats, toxins, inorganic minerals and heavy metals. This residue dims the light and sound of the soul...our form and function starts to breakdown...we feel anxiety, stress and ultimately exhibit degenerative disease processes and opportunistic pathogens and parasites. However if we lived in perfect harmony with nature we could extend our life well beyond known years and increase the richness and depth of the human experience, while greatly facilitating our true life's play.

Various teachers have equally valid approaches in expanding the contraction of the relative bodymind.
• Mike Sucro—Logic the ego away proving to yourself that you don’t exist:
“An ego is impervious to peace (absence of conflict) simply because peace is an absence of conflict between bodies and such an absence would negate the egos ability to continually actualize proof of its existence. As long as the ego-self (“you”) defines itself as an individual IT MUST experience conflict, because individuals must be defined by limits and boundaries in order to contrast and conflict with other individual bodies.” Mike Sucro http://www.peacefulself.com/          mbsu@verizon.net

• Steve Pavlina —Leave your poor beaten ego along and build character:
“The reason you may be stuck in a negative thought pattern right now is that at some point, you chose it.  You figured the alternative of accepting full responsibility for everything in your reality would be worse.  It’s too much to handle.  So you turned your own thoughts against yourself to avoid that awesome responsibility.  And you’ll continue to remain in a negative manifestation pattern until you’re ready to start accepting some of that responsibility back onto your plate.” Steve Pavlina   www.stevepavlina.com/

• Michael Singer—Seduce and soothe your ego boundaries open to infinity.
• Robert Augustus Masters—Pummel your grateful ego into submission.
• Michael Brown—Become present with the holding, clinging and retreat.
• Ken Wilber—Integrate all aspects of your being and ego evolves.

[Daniel]

Thank you for these wonderful quotes. If I accept full responsibility for my life (truly) and have an emotional breakdown or nervous breakdown, or need weeks off to re-establish some connection with the world if there is an extreme disassociation as the higher order of consciousness crystallizes, who will pay the bills and take care of the kids if I lose my job during this process? I won't be able to go into work after all and no doubt will be layed off. It could happen. Then what, foreclosure and homelessness with two children to worry about? It could happen. That’s one of the fears, and my ego won't allow it (just saying, not that that is my attitude. I fully support what is being said in this thread). This system, this society deliberately reinforces ego...it doesn't want true freedom, that would be disorder in its eyes. Plus, think of all the money the banks, Wal-Mart sales would drop, and all the other non-essential junk people go into debt with were to shut down when so many egos gave up needing or wanting. Too much money to lose won't be allowed. Keep that ego reinforced. Sell that sex, encourage low self-esteem and keep the tension of war going. This is what freaked out the establishment in the 60s about LSD. Not that it was dangerous, but that who will sit at the nuclear warhead button? Who will build the cars and clean the bedpans in the hospitals if everyone starts "dissolving"? This world thrives on ego, its survival mechanism.

It could happen. Then what...with two children to worry about? It could happen.

Daniel,
I think your priorities are in perfect order and that you should be immensely pleased with them. The Taoist sages taught for centuries that the welfare of one's family should always be elevated above any conflicts they might have with the desire for and the attainment of self-cultivation or enlightenment (whatever that is) or some other vaunted state a guru might be pitching. From what I understand they would disagree at this point with the need to pummel one's ego into submission; rather, the consciousness is to be infused with some humane and easily held to values and strengthened to the place where, as in the Commentary on hexagram #28 in the Taoist I Ching reads, "Thus Superior People (a Taoist term of art) stand alone without fear and leave society without distress." At your time in life the sages would interpret that to mean that one elevates the world one has created above concerns for and preoccupations with the pathologies of their culture. There is no need to be burdened with the concerns of inferior entities, which in relative terms vis a vis your family, society should be regarded. They saw this phase of life as superb training for it takes a strong but compassionate ego to see to the needs of a family and when that phase of life has dissolved into the next, it also takes a strong and compassionate ego to reach whatever level of spiritual attainment one chooses. Enlightenment or whatever achieved through a weak ego is probably indicative of emotional pathology.

Cheers.
Steven

[Daniel]

Steven,

 Thank you for this comment! Your response here is enormously helpful and insightful. Sometimes one feels like there's nowhere to turn. It's guidance and reassurance that is like a breath of fresh air when you feel you are starving for oxygen. It's confirmation for me that helps anchor and balance priorities. Your offering is like a lightening rod drawing power to a gap that needed to be healed and restored. I am blessed to be with such admirable friends.

"This world thrives on ego, its survival mechanism."

The Borg world is dying of the ego survival mechanism...and so we must spontaneously create the new world in order to survive. It takes strength but you have to overcome the fear of survival in order to truly activate the higher cognitive capacities. Not that fear is rejected, but that it is "used" and worked through to more expansive states and wider possibilities. Fear often gives us the sense of having our choices reduced. Fear positively processed becomes the portal to a fearless life. This is the key to invincibility...such immunity however can strike fear in those around us that are still heavily embedded in 3D reality and the reptilian responses. You know you are really getting somewhere when your exalted serenity and your peace and fearlessness create an umbrella and oasis of sanity for all who encounter you.

The Kissing Lovers meditation is extremely helpful, as is remembering the term "exalted serenity" and focusing peace in the brainstem. When you simply can't break people out of a reptilian nose dive you may have to move on to those who are more empowered and have greater self-esteem. The difference between a culture of fear and a culture of love is education and sometimes we cannot be forthright and explicit in showing people how to live in the strength of sovereignty. However the more people make the shift, the faster the species will move beyond the death grip.

You are your own oracle. The superlight from the entire universe flows through your heart. Exalted serenity, heart uplifting the chest, throat throbbing with the opening. In this way are we protected and immune to the underhand convolutions of the Borg.

The trick to overcoming an out of control ego is to realize that we have both an infinite potential for individuation, and an infinite potential for interconnectivity…and the two are inseparable. When individuation and interconnectivity are not in harmony the humanizing principle is undermined and various forms of pathological relationship and society ensue.

We find the origins of our lack of sovereignty in an egoic survival culture, with its power-over, patriarchal/codependent families. The emotional schism and latency of higher cognitive and psi capacities represent a form of self-neglect and self-abandonment that we imbibed from our parents and community. In a social context of Self-suppression and truth-avoidance we were afraid to shine brightly to avoid intimidating others. Our heart and mind therefore never learnt to live exuberantly and express its truth. We literally cannot be our Self in such social conditions, and instead we become numb and fail to realize our inner resources or potential. Patterns of relationship and emotional connection affect the development of the brain, our sense of self and our world-view. The neurochemistry of humiliation, exclusion, disengagement and outright abuse is toxic to the growing nervous system and the head, heart and stomach brains. When parental attention is often “negative” we go on seeking negative attention throughout our lives to reaffirm the sense of identity we built in childhood. One version of hell is a bunch of people all out to seek negative attention. This negative attraction is the basis for low self esteem, isolation, social rejection and failure to make anything of ourself in the world. To counter this prior programming, we must turn on our own prefrontal lights and become our own nurturing, loving, attentive and life-affirming guardian.

If You are Discouraged Try 'Unplugging'
 
Ecopsychologist Dr. Craig Chalquist has come up with a nifty and 
empowering "to do" list for those of us who are feeling discouraged 
about our individual and collective economic, political and 
environmental situations. He calls his process "Unplugging from the 
Empire: 30 Immediate-Impact Action Items."
Chalquist offers "suggestions for withdrawing your support from 
destructive institutions busy warring, polluting, spying, 
monopolizing, stealing wealth or ruining air, water, soil, and ocean" 
and urges us to "make them change or die by depriving them of what 
they need - and feel better about how you live."
 
So what's on his list? Here are a few ideas he encourages us to 
consider:
 
Move your money from a big (bailed out) bank to a more deserving 
local bank or credit union...
Wean yourself from the big chain stores...
Buy local food at farmers markets, coops and small local stores...
Don't buy anything you don't really need...
Buy glassware instead of plastic; don't use plastic bags or buy 
bottled water...
Keep your savings out of the hands of unethical investment 
speculators (try ethical investing)...
Pay down your credit cards...
Turn off cable TV...
Don't buy books from publishers that print works by the likes of Ann 
Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh etc...
Use ethical phone carriers (e.g. credomobile.com)...
Use ecotherapy methods like spending time outside, gardening, being 
around animals, etc. to stay healthy...
Learn the basics of first aid and medical care...
Don't support politicians funded by big petroleum or other 
questionable industries or lobbyists
Learn about socially responsible investing...
Stay informed by using reputable and alternative news sources...
Reinhabit the place where you live by getting to know its ecology, 
climate, cultures, prehistory, native flora and fauna and the unique 
features that make up its spirit or soul...
For good food, networking and resource swapping, start or participate 
in a community garden.
Just taking a few constructive steps towards sanity can go a long way 
towards giving us the feeling that what we do really matters at every 
level. At the very least, we feel better about ourselves (and save 
money) if we start to live our values. And we also create the 
possibility that if enough of us stop feeding the machine that is 
destroying our lives and the planet, it may "change or die."

What is wrong with the human species that the visionary artists would consistantly paint goolish cartoons and freeky ugly stuff. http://beinart.org/artists/group/International%20Paintings/   

We need to start a movement of visionary artists that envision the highest possible future and beauty.

“He who has a firm will molds the world to himself.” Goethe

"Voidness does not mean nothingness, but rather that all things lack intrinsic reality, intrinsic objectivity, intrinsic identity or intrinsic referentiality. Lacking such static essence or substance does not make them not exist - it makes them thoroughly relative." Robert F. Thurman

"According to the theory of emptiness, any belief in an objective reality grounded in the assumption of intrinsic, independent existence is simply untenable. All things and events, whether ‘material’, mental or even abstract concepts like time, are devoid of objective, independent existence. To intrinsically possess such independent existence would imply that all things and events are somehow complete unto themselves and are therefore entirely self-contained. This would mean that nothing has the capacity to interact with or exert influence on any other phenomena. But we know that there is cause and effect – turn a key in a car, the starter motor turns the engine over, spark plugs ignite and fuel begins to burn… Yet in a universe of self-contained, inherently existing things, these events could never occur! So effectively, the notion of intrinsic existence is incompatible with causation; this is because causation implies contingency and dependence, while anything that inherently existed would be immutable and self-enclosed. In the theory of emptiness, everything is argued as merely being composed of dependently related events; of continuously interacting phenomena with no fixed, immutable essence, which are themselves in dynamic and constantly changing relations. Thus, things and events are 'empty' in that they can never possess any immutable essence, intrinsic reality or absolute ‘being’ that affords independence."  Dalai Lama

The physical world is composed of a seamless, chaotic and formless field of energy. Forms do not exist in the physical world. Yet we perceive a myriad of forms as part of our subjective experience. These forms are entirely the result of artificial projections of the human mind. These artificial projections are commonly known as 'thoughtforms' e.g. zeitgeists, archetypes, egregores,  etc.

Thus subjective reality is a resultant collage of sensations derived from the formless energy field combined with the projected forms that reside in the mind. If we were to perceive the formless field alone, stripped of its metaphysical embellishments, we would experience an ‘objective reality’ that is the goal and inspiration of all mystics and yogis. If the doors of perception were cleansed, the world would appear as it really is; infinite

Our subjective reality is produced by mentally superimposing arbitrary structures onto a formless field of physical energy. Subjective reality is composed of objects, patterns and relationships – all of which are distinguished from a ‘background’ with the aid of metaphysical forms. The metaphysical forms – our ideals, beliefs, associations and definitions – completely determine our subjective experience. The formless energy of the physical world is like the light from a film projector that passes through the film (mind) and creates an image on the screen (subjective reality).

This leads to a potent alchemy of reality manipulation; magic. Science is really just a popular sub-discipline of magic and it is no less mythical. Can you imagine a more mythical beast than the electron? Science is like the unlikely kid, raised in squalor, that grows up to make it big in Hollywood. Scientism has taken over the public relations campaign for science and it tries to hide its rather embarrassing mythical underbelly.

By changing the ideals, beliefs, associations and definitions that make up our partially-unconscious metaphysical landscape we can radically reform our experience of reality, as science has done. This is the main idea behind “The Secret”

As it turns out, many of the common elements of our personal metaphysical landscape were laid down in our minds by others, without our expressed or explicit permission, during our formative years of socialization. Evicting these elements is not usually easy, and can even be dangerous in some cases. Such are the challenges and risks of self transformation.

Scientism is a dogmatic religion based on the blind worship of gross material energy and reason. This all begins with language. The word is the original artifice and the first layer of abstraction. Next come intellect and reason, which are then formalized into science, then dogmatized into scientism, adding layer upon layer of abstraction. After all, knowledge is only a reflection of experience, thus it's at least one step away from the experience itself. This one step is the Fall.

Art is more about the worship of subtle energy, but again we're dealing with representations that are one step removed from the raw experience. Raw unreflected experience is ineffable, the poet tries anyway.

Whether it's subtle or gross energy makes very little difference. The gutsy thing is whether we are going to engage the energy directly by means of an ineffable rapturous embrace or merely reflect the energy as abstract knowledge or art.

Will we fully submit ourselves to the tide of the NOW or will we cling to the shore, demanding that the experience be subjected to the rules of reason and representation, and thereby strip away all of the numinous aspect in a futile attempt to collect time (experience) in a bottle (representation) ?

Simultaneous full command and full surrender. As we say in poker; “all in” “double or nothing” “going for broke.” Now that's full engagement, with heart and soul on the line. Fakers; step back!

[Jana]

What?

I just think that blood and guts is a rather prolonged teenage period...we should be over already. What drugs are these people taking.

[Francis]

They're worshiping at the lotus feet of the Salvador Dali Lama, who famously said "I don't do drugs; I am drugs"

[Jana]

Moving from a community of disempowerment, with its caustic attack on the worth of the individual, is a developmental task of epic proportions. As soon as we try to express our truth, show more soul, reveal who we really are and admit to our differences the Borg pushes back. Mythic level paranoia and persecution can occur, with people banding together to suppress the emergent shoots of greater awakening. To be around Borg members while not rocking the boat, we cannot ethically revert to "pretend sleep," so we must find ways to gracefully awaken around people without riling their anger and fear.

While a lot of growth can occur directly in response to the challenge of the Borg, in order to substantiate and integrate the next evolutionary levels we "must" be socially supported. Thus it is ironic that a lot of work can be done alone to increase our sovereignty, but to actually make cultural evolutionary gains we must establish a peer-to-peer relationship with at least one other sovereign. Otherwise unless you are a spiritual giant there is little chance of a full-fledged sovereign emerging in a community of Borgs without deep traumatic damage to body, mind and soul. Remember it is the nature of the Borg to maintain itself through the subversion and suppression of the true individual. This is simply the way of the culture of fear...the only way out is to live and teach the culture of love.

[Jana]

How to break out of the Self abandoning mode?

The ego armor is composed of impulse and counter impulse. Lightspeed conflicting commands to "move" and "don't move." It is thus grossly inefficient and energy burning to live within the cage of second nature and second guessing. It also means we can never know ourSelf, act in our own best interest, or live true to our authentic self. This false life makes for a good slave, but doesn't serve creativity, liberation, maturity or spiritual community. The Borg is composed of this collective diminished being, which constitutes a type of learned paralysis. This is a helpless passivity born of living from the defensive shell rather than our true nature. To break out of this paralysis we must somatically and experientally learn more empowered modes of thinking, feeling, moving, behaving, relating and experiencing. The diminished mode of the Borg must be replaced by the experience of the deeper human in order to give up its ghost. To assist in this emergence you can stimulate and simulate transformation by drinking raw-green juices along with taking 4 Bcomplex/day and 4gms Vitamin C/day. Combine this with extra exercise. stretching and dancing and you begin to get a sense of what coming alive means...and the response-ability of authenticity.



The repressed mode of the collective Borg polis encourages mutant leadership through this learned paralysis, which develops from intergenerational trauma and the shock doctrine (Naomi Wolf). How do we emancipate ourselves from the continuing feedback loop that the socialization of limitation automatically recreates the further socialization of limitation? To defy the mechanism of recursive contraction we must train ourselves to break out of the box of our species evolution, through meta-inquiry into the composition of that box of impoverishment. Through exercising sovereignty we can choose to step out of the comfy box of comformity and free ourselves from the macrocosm of offical social dogma, so that we may discover the infinite spectrum of sentient choice on the microcosm of the interiors of our human "being."
