Comment on Against His Time by Boudewijn

Boudewijn — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 11:15:05 +0000

Fighting for your own free flow of energy. The total flow of being.
Isn’t this an inner battle? Often played out in (your) reality as mirror?
The death of the resister, means the death of the fighter. A paradox?
Who fights? Is there a choice? Do people consciously choose or follow A fight?
Who wants what? Is it worth the fight? Is it a protective battle or to gain (freedom)?
Too many questions. I should read the book. Time is pressing us into a corner, or so it seems.

In reply to Boudewijn. I was not familiar. In spiritual science as well as Donald Hoffman's mathematics the human brain is insignificant.

In reply to Machteld van Eeden. Thank you! Personally, I do consider the natural flow of emotions to be part of sensory perception. It is just that the biophysical blockages cause the emotions to become suppressed and twisted into unnatural, harmful expressions/behaviors, or at least that is what Reich's research shows.

Great article Laura!

Especially:
¨It is clear from often suppressed evidence, that the natural world is not one of chaos but of balance, homeostasis, and that a chaotic outer world can only be created by a chaotic inner world.”
It is our perception colored by emotions like fear, acquired bias and unconsciousness, that perceives this beautiful world as chaotic, hostile and even evil.

In reply to Machteld van Eeden. If the good, hardworking people in the world do not get cynical and work together everything is possible. I believe you see it that way, too.

“Our current sociocultural predispositions aside, we know from humble observation that humans have a propensity to try to control their surroundings all the way up to the brink of total destruction, like the atomic bomb.”

Why shouldn´t we? Having an immense stockpile of nuclear weapons mounted on sophisticated platforms in which we have invested billions of dollars. It would be a waste not to use them now that we have created a window of opportunity to actually deploy them against our adversaries Russia and China, those nations that threat our way of life, our freedom and democracy. It’s either us or them…

The African continent is a perfect example. The indigenous people are with few exceptions are untameable . There is no other continent that comes close to the the freedom its inhabitants enjoy .

One study of (un)conditionality is Hannah Arendt’s book ‘Love and Saint Augustine’ from 1929.

Comment on Building the Non-Lie by Mark B

Mark B — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 09:07:26 +0000

Walking your path of life and finding meaning and purpose while make ends meet is challenging indeed, I totally agree. Specially when lots of experiences in Marketing turn out “different than promised or expected” with different outcomes as result. Honesty and integrity are not met and will result in disappointment, frustration and a loss of faith and trust, in business and perhaps life in general also. So building the Non-lie comes from the longing for genuine creation, as I experience it.
What if building the Non-lie in life as well as in business, requires a state of awareness or energy with an intention “to create, serve and contribute” in the widest meaning possible? Like an Art of Living? And what if we are able to interpret these experiences as guides on our path?

In reply to FlorisV. Most certainly marketing does not equal lying. My observation is that it can be seen as ‘a means to further temporary Non-Truth aims’, a bit abstract but no other way to define.

Marketing is not the same as lying. Advertisement can lie with false claims or exaggerate, but primarily marketing is simply about bringing something to your attention as much as possible: exposure. You can make the best and most truthful art ever but nobody will notice it…unless there is an effort to get attention.

Commerce is important as well. If an artist or other “truthmaker” if you will cannot sell whatever authentic product, he’ll need a mundane job and will make less art as he has less time and energy.

The problems are not commerce or marketing, those are merely tools. The problems are government-related institutions entangled with corporate entities that have become too powerful. This problem is reduced if the government stops favoring the large corporations and lowers taxes for smaller enterprises (and thus becomes smaller itself as well). This will lead to a more fair market where innovation can more easily come from the smaller start ups.

Decentralising monetary power is equally important to prevent government induced poverty in general. BitCoin provides this solution. But it’s up to the people to use it.
