Moderates United

I am educated enough to know that academics in the Humanities spend a lot of time talking about Modernity, or used to, and I can’t see where else they can go within the limits they have set themselves.

We see Gemainshaft compared to Gesellshaft, which is roughly community versus society.  We see discussions of alienation, the lack of a sense of place, and the lack of a sense of purpose.

These, in my view, are not problems to be DESCRIBED, but rather SOLVED.  They are practical, logistical problems, and there is zero doubt in my mind they have solutions.  I have provided solutions in many ways on many levels.

The problem with our universities is they continue to embody the fundamental split in Western tradition between body and mind. The work that academics do involves writing books.  Even if it involves watching somebody or something for some period of time, the ultimate outcome is a big pile of words.

In religious studies, which is my field, there is a common tendency to overvalue the beliefs of a group of people, and to undervalue the praxis, because the beliefs can be analyzed and manipulated in the abstract more easily, since they are already ideas.  Praxis–by which I mean ritual in its broadest form–has to be DONE to be properly understood. You have to sit in their shoes, smoke their weed, get naked and dirty, to understand them.

But even if you do this, it still gets expressed descriptively.  There are not anthropologists coming back and saying “we should try this here”, by and large.  They are not trying to figure out how to improve the ritual element of our socity, how to reintroduce one that is vital, real, energizing, harmonizing.

That, however, is what they SHOULD be doing, as that would actually be useful.

Can we not grant that social harmony and individual happiness are not strictly a matter of dopamine receptors, and brain chemistry?  Can we not grant that culture can both hinder and further human happiness?  And having granted this, can we not grant that it ought to be the role of people who study culture to make SUGGESTIONS?  To add ideas?

Could you imagine a university in which emotional development was a core focus?  Why not?  Why not make personal development as important–more important–than reading Chaucer, or studying European history?

For myself, I have worked out a reasonably good model that I think will work.  It has content; it has ideas; it is does not consist exclusively in what it is not (which is the case for moral relativists and postmodernists).

I would like to see the mainstreaming of Holotropic Breathwork and Kum Nye, as expressed within a philosophical framework like that I created in my essay on Goodness.  You need a base belief structure–what I suggest are three absolute principles that can be deployed in innumerable ways–an individual practice, and a communalizing (I may have just invented that word, but if so it needed to be invented) ritual.

We all need ways of calming ourselves down and of promoting positive emotions.  Kum Nye does this.

We need some set of principles that does not change with the wind.  My three principles do this.

And we need both connection with others, and occasional craziness in our lives, ideally shared craziness.  Holotropic Breathwork does this.

In my dreams–and everything of course may fall apart completely, as I assume I am on multiple lists, and can imagine many ways I may die–we build temples where groups of people can meet and both meditate in groups, and do the Breathwork.  And there is no reason people could not give lectures on useful topics.

As I have shared, I think it would be useful and interesting to create a social structure parallel to the family structure which complements and supplements it, in which groups of 20 or so people develop long term bonds through repeatedly doing the Breathwork together.  Shared trauma and wild experience builds strong bonds, and seeing each other weekly or so over years, while sharing those experiences, would build bonds perhaps better than those forged in war.

I’m thinking perhaps one Holotropic Breathwork session a month, and shared Kum Nye perhaps twice a week. Over time, you could go to any of these people with any problem you have, and receive genuine presence, genuine caring.

And we build millions of these groups, the world over.  I have zero desire to tell anyone how to live their lives, other than that I would encourage them to value their lives and pursue their own vision of happiness.  But the very lack of specificity would allow local cultural preferences to be maintained and perhaps even enriched.  I want more diversity in the world not less, and there is no reason this would be inconsistent with peace.

We can build global peace and prosperity.  It is possible.  And we can do it gradually, and pleasantly.

All of the supposed “utopian” dreams of emotionally disturbed people contain nothing but their own desire to commit suicide, and their vain and psychotic need to make the world join them.

We have choices.  We all have choices.

I think it would be most useful to think of Obama as nothing more than an actor, reading scripts. In this regard, a good analogy would be with Ben Kingley’s Mandarin, who comes across as quite dramatic, but is in reality a low grade buffoon.

I have seen the claim that Valerie Jarrett–who takes nearly as many Secret Service members with her on vacation as Obama does–is the real power behind the throne.  And who she takes her marching orders from is anyone’s guess.  They do have names and addresses, though, which are knowable.

Do Mossad or Aman know?  One wonders.  The destinies of our nations are closely linked.

To be patiently persistent in matter of importance.

I am capable of using reason very effectively.  I have on many cases created what I view as very strict, disciplined, but thorough treatments of complex topics.

At the same time, I often trust my gut, my intuition.  The previous post was the result of being attacked twice in my dreams last night by Islamists.  One shouted “Allahu Akbar” (which means in most cases “I am about to shit on God and curse the righteous”) and threw a grenade.  Another tried to infect me with anthrax.

I very much believe that dreams CAN reflect deeper realities, realities outside the realm of my own unprocessed and unconscious emotions.  I still have a great deal to get through, so this could be some remaining reflection of self sabotage. 

At the same time, I do feel a Muslim influence in all this, and it seems likely the Saudis–who as a nation are unimaginably rich–are playing some major role in world affairs.

That is not what I wanted to post about, though.  I don’t claim to operate a normal blog.  I am odd in many ways, but I cherish that.  I think everyone should cherish the gift of being unique.

In my meditations recently, I have realized that when dark forces come up, I do not need to resist them.  Satanic powers will eat me, attack me, destroy me, and I can watch on calmly, as I have realized that I come back, I revitalize.  What I am cannot be destroyed.  I need fear nothing.  My body can be destroyed and my mind perverted, in this world.  I can be brainwashed and broken. 

But some higher self exists which never touches this world, which enables a “reboot”.  This means I can be absolutely persistent and indestructible, in an absolute sense.  I am unstoppable.

And I have been watching these things arise and, say, bite my head off and eat it, and I realize that what it is eating, what it can touch, is not my actual head.  My body consists in light, not darkness, and darkness cannot touch light.  To the extent it is doing anything, it is helping me purify myself.

I think this is the essence of the practice the Tibetans call Chod.

I will add as well an interesting experience I had yesterday.  Due to a bad decision, I got stuck unnecessarily in traffic for 45 minutes yesterday.  I’m like anyone else, and really dislike prolonged periods of alternating between stopping and going five miles an hour for twenty feet.

But they talk in Kum Nye about integrating experience with breath, so I thought I would try that.  I focused on my impatience and sense of being trapped and did my best to expand it, and blend it with my breath.  And to a great extent, it helped.  What I realized is that once you embed that process of accepting experience and blending it with breath you don’t conquer those feelings once, but potentially permanently.

What would life be like if you were permanently beyond complaining?

The flip side of this is that it is possible to suppress feelings, to never ask yourself who you are and what you really want.  Most people do this.  They fall by chance into one pattern or another and even though they are vaguely dissatisfied, they never address it.

I think a life well lived is one where you consciously pursue the things that make you happy, and on the flip side learn to accept without complaint all the inevitable inconveniences and sufferings of the world.

As I have said often, I view Kum Nye as an effective system for this, and will go farther, actually, and say that in my own experience it is by far the most accessible pathway to the sorts of realizations Buddhists talk about.  I feel most other forms of meditation get the cart before the horse: they ask people to meditate before they have learned to feel and to relax.

First off, we need to be clear that Obama seemingly has committed a Federal Felony by using a fake Social Security Number.  It seems likely he was never renaturalized after having been an Indonesian citizen.  It is quite possible–indeed it seems likely–that he never attended Columbia.  It is likely–and has in fact apparently been admitted by Michelle Obama–that Bill Ayers was the actual author of both of Obama’s books.  If you remember back to those halcyon days when it seemed Obama was intelligent and articulate, those books were principle pieces of evidence.  And for his part Ayers once envisioned massive concentration camps for Americans unwilling to submit to  Communist sadistic tyranny, and foresaw the need to kill up to ten million Americans.

So thinking that we are looking at a house of lies is scarcely paranoid.  On the contrary, it is difficult to grasp and accept the extent of the fraud which enabled Obama to be put forward as a candidate, much less elected twice.  It is impossible to fathom the depth of the betrayal committed by the complicit media, the extent of the lies propagated by people who should have known better.

What if the computer glitches are happening with regard to Obamacare because everyone thought that a coup would have already taken place?  What if they never thought they actually had to develop the website?  What if all the money given Michelle Obama’s roommate, or most of it, wound up in hands dedicated to other tasks?  What if some of it even now is supporting Syrian Islamists, or domestic radicals?

Alex Jones broadcast a story about a secret nuclear weapons transfer here: http://www.infowars.com/exclusive-high-level-source-confirms-secret-us-nuclear-warhead-transfer-to-east-coast/

Following this story two senior nuke commanders were fired: http://www.infowars.com/exclusive-high-level-source-confirms-secret-us-nuclear-warhead-transfer-to-east-coast/

Now Alex thinks they were bound for Syria, to start a global war.  It is just as likely they were going to be detonated somewhere in the US, everyone who knew about it killed, and blamed on Al Quedists.  We can’t know, but something stinks to high heaven.

This story was the result of an actual patriot leaking a story to the ONLY NEWS OUTLET THAT WOULD COVER IT.  What if all the cover stories were ready, everybody had their lines memorized, and ONE PERSON did the right thing and prevented mass disaster?

What if Obama has viewed his job all along as simply biding his time until other people completed the preparations for a coup?  What if he is on the golf course, and seemingly uninterested in his job because his job consists SOLELY in providing the necessary authority for others to put in place a road map to tyranny?

I would like to submit some ideas to senior military commanders as well.  I get this image in my mind of some 3 or 4 star General finding out about the FEMA camps, and the plan to house Americans in large numbers in them, and demanding an explanation.  Finding out it goes to the top, to Obama, he demands a meeting.  He is refused, by the Commander in Chief, to whose authority he must ultimately submit.

What that person still can do is create contingency plans to destroy or occupy these camps.  I hate to telegraph possibilities–I have a lot of ideas I never put in the public domain precisely for this reason–but my overall impression of the imaginative/creative capacities of senior military leaders is that they are not actually all that smart in most cases.  As I have shared, I was once told by a very seasoned, career, upwardly mobile Navy Commander about the prospects in Iraq, in 2006, that “I am career military and it is hard to be optimistic”, meaning he wasn’t seeing then anyone willing to understand the situation and respond appropriately.  But for every Westmoreland there likely exists an Abrams, even if they don’t usually get credit.

Further, anyone wanting to fundamentally address an attack on our Constitutional Republic and our way of life has to remember that the Fed controls all electronic interactions.  It may or may not be in the public domain where the servers are, but every debit card transaction, every credit card transaction, every money transfer between banks, every topping off through Federal Funds goes through the Fed.   They report to no public agency and they could shut down our financial system in an instant.  They may be complicit in this whole program–it seems certain that senior members are–and thus likely have a plan in place to do this.  In any civil conflict, taking control of the Fed would be a top priority.

I am of course no general.  I have no training in strategic thinking.  These things are in many respects obvious.  But I discovered long ago that was obvious to me was not obvious to others.

Read/watch this: http://www.infowars.com/leaked-video-military-police-briefing-with-fema-over-gun-confiscation-and-martial-law/

It appears clear beyond any reasonable doubt that contingency plans have been created based upon Army Field Manual 3.39-40 in which a role for regular military and National Guard units is seen in which they would operate domestically, and under the control of the DHS, which as I have pointed out often has made itself into a paramilitary force.  To be clear, the control is under FEMA, but FEMA is under the DHS umbrella.  My treatment of the manual is here: https://moderatesunitedblog.com//2013/03/open-letter-on-army-fm-339-40.html

As I point out, they are quite clear about the chain of command, and the training being taped at the original link is simply indoctrination.

And we need to recall that all totalitarian regimes have Sondereinsatzgruppen.  The Nazis, for example, used the Waffen SS to commit mass murder behind German lines when they invaded Russia.  The Bolsheviks had the Cheka, which commited all manner of atrocities, but normally in such a way that the public and regular army only suspected them.  They did not know for sure what was going on.

And here, what is being taught is that the military MP’s should just keep their mouths shut and let other people do whatever “is needed”, which in my view plainly includes the extensive use of the camps clearly described in the manual as prison camps, reeducation camps, and as existing in the United States.  As I said, I did a pretty close reading, and excerpted relevant quotes, and there is little ambiguity in them.

When I say senior military leaders in this country need to be mapping out a strategy to counter a coup, I mean many things, but first and foremost logistics.  Obama is the Commander in Chief.  Could he not order all ammunition locked away?  Could he not order all tanks to be mothballed, all jets sequestered or commandeered by his fellow travelers? Our Generals and Admirals need to be alert for signs.  They need to have contingency plans to repel an attempted coup.  They need communications.  What if Obama orders the NSA to jam all signals?  What if they obey?

To the extent America faces an existential threat, this is the most important one, and I would hope our senior leaders are astute enough to grasp this.  Clearly, the pretext for tyranny may be a nuclear detonation of the sort that for a moment seemed planned for South Carolina.  This does not mean that the bomb did not come from anywhere but America.

The numbers of people who would actually be able to contemplate destroying our political system and enslaving Americans cannot be large.  I would have a hard time thinking more than a hundred people know all the details of what is planned.

And this is certainly cause for hope.  Americans are not Russians.  We are not nihilists in large numbers.  We did not just fight a war in which we were slaughtered in huge numbers, futilely, as ordered by an absolute monarch.  Nor can he promise the world as Lenin did and be believed. We are not oppressed by the government in the way, say, Castro was able to claim Cubans were.  There are no French colonialists as there were in Vietnam.  Obama is not a war hero like Mao was.

What works in the favor of true patriots is that Obama and his minions can’t know with certainty what orders will be followed, who is just playing along and will frag their unit the moment they get orders to break the law.

He has no mass mandate for a coup.  He can’t expect even a short holiday of support, like were given Mao, Castro, Giap (or whoever the first leader of the conquered South was) and others.  All of his options, looked at honestly, are bad.  The Fabian strategy was a good one, but the sauce has broken.  Post-Obamacare the Tea Party will do nothing but grow.

One hopes that there exist actually sane people among this group, and that they might come to their senses and alert people openly.  We have done a great deal of good in this country, and around the world, and to state the obvious, mass murder never did anything but cause mass suffering.  There is nothing redemptive in it, nothing positive.

Common sense and common decency.

Add to this: jobs and safety for the poor, opportunity for the middle class, and support for job creators.

My understanding is that Obamacare requires insurers to provide free contraceptives to women who request them, and free abortions on demand.  This alone should make the premiums for women, and families containing women, much higher.  My guess, though, is that these costs are being borne equally by both men and women.

As I point out in my treatise on Obamacare, insurance premiums MUST go up on almost everyone.  Not only is the Medicaid limit being raised up significantly, but subsidies will be paid to people who don’t qualify for Medicaid even under the new standards.  Further, you have minimum deductibles, they have to cover “wellness” visits, etc.

Add on top of this the Obamacare bureaucracy which must be paid for as well.  This will come out of tax revenue, but it will no doubt be costly.  It cost over half a billion dollars to build a website that could have been done in the private sector for $500,000, or 1/1,000th as much, and at that the website DOESN’T WORK.

And I don’t buy the argument that the flaws are intentional.  They know they can’t hide the true premium hikes forever, and certainly not until the next election. I think the contract was given to Michelle Obama’s buddy because they  believe in the spoils system, likely in exchange for favors of some sort, like divulging personal details of political enemies; and her buddy was not equal to the job.  Full stop.  Taxpayer money used to pay bribes to people who should not have won the contract.

Obamacare can only be seen as yet one more way of sucking money out of the productive and funneling it to the unproductive or less productive–income is an accurate measurement of one’s economic usefulness in a free market, which is fair–all in order to get votes.

But I think Obamacare sucks so epically that it is going to FORCE leftists to admit that government is not always the answer, that it can’t reliably be trusted, and that Obama LIED about the outcomes to be expected.

I also think that if Republicans get smart and start courting blacks, we have a historic opportunity to roll back the sustained assault on our liberties and common decency that has been the project of the Left over the last century or so.

As Charles Barkley pointed out: “the poor have been voting Democrat for 50 years and they are still poor.”

This term means roughly “blocked energy”, or “emotional blockage”.  I don’t know what language it is from, but since I came across it in my Kum Nye training, I will guess Tibetan.

As my energy begins to flow better, I am seeing things for the first time.  One thing I see is that the effective use of analytical, intellectual reason is impossible in conditions of blocked energy flow.  There is such a thing as emotional logic, by which I mean that the figurative waters flow in the pathways that are most obvious, and most healthy.  It means you process all emotions, all experience, as it happens, and hold nothing back, lock nothing away.

When you look at someone like Barack Obama, you need to see someone who consists almost entirely of blockages.  He interacts with the world in an entirely emotionally detached way, but this is not the same as a rational way.  He claims to want to improve the world but damages it.  He no doubt believes that he is able to pursue his own self interest in a rational way, but he can’t see what that self interest actually is, what would be best for him emotionally.

Blind to his own emotional needs, he has learned to care little or nothing for the needs of others.  Why is the Obamacare website such a failure?  Because even though he has always intended Obamacare just to be a short stopping point on the way to a complete government take-over of our lives in important ways, a person who liked people would have cared enough not to cause unnecessary hurt in the process.  Bill Clinton would have delivered something that worked, because whatever else he is, Bill Clinton is a people person.

Compare the sexuality of Bill Clinton and Obama.  As far as we can tell there is no sexual chemistry between Michelle and him, and if we are to believe the accounts of at least one homosexual man who claimed to have sex with him, there is or was little chemistry even in his homosexual relationships.  Obama has too many locked away traumas to be emotionally present for anyone for any reason.

In the Eastern model, we are presumed to be born for happiness, and only prevented from it by blindness.  Logically, they offer solutions to being blind.

In the West Positive Psychology is only in its infancy.  Until perhaps a decade or two ago, the focus was on treating human beings like animals, with a focus solely on curing illness, but not on providing meaning or direction for consciousness.  Small wonder there are so many confused people out there.

Here is what I would argue is a useful oversimplification (a term I just invented and like): the talent of men is suppressing experience, and that of women processing it.  Men are physically hard wired to more easily sequester experience, to lock it away.  This is helpful, as one example, in war, where the experiences are completely overwhelming.  I asked a Ranger acquaintance once how he dealt with the death of a man we both knew in an IED explosion, and he said: “I lock it away in a drawer and don’t open it very often.”

Women have vastly more connections between their hemispheres than men do.  This means their experience of life is more unified; they have a harder time not feeling things, not reacting to things.  This is a general statement, but my own observations bear this out.

But I would stipulate that because they are wired this way, women’s potential richness of experience of life is vastly larger than that of most men who do not teach themselves to be integrated.  It is not enough to be fearless: one must feel fear and process it and transcend it into acceptance.

I recently became aware that women can have four kinds of orgasms.  Did you know this?  I have reached middle age and not known this.  They can have clitoral, G-Spot, anal, and squirting orgasms.  They can also have many of them.  One girl on a CD I watched claimed to have had 18 in one session.

I say this not because I am obsessed with these things, but because this is actually very interesting.  The potential richness of a woman’s sexual experience is vastly greater than that of a man, who can have one (and if he is gay, or willing to allow anal sex, two) type, and typically is doing well if he can have two in one session, and great if he can do three.

This got me to wondering if in some ways God gave women more ways to process experience precisely because they have no choice.  My whole inner work right now is learning to open up internal energy flow, and I am wondering if women can get everything I am doing done simply through good sex.

I had more to say, but need to run.
