This year made me realize some things which I was not willing to see as it threatened my view of the world (though I deep down knew it but decided not to look at it as I probably felt I could not change it, anyways). \n\nI read a lot about anarchy these days. Maybe the only way to exist in more or less peace. Unfortunately the definition of this term is negative. \n\nI hope, you will find this late answer some day. I wish you to find peace in your heart and mind, especially in this upcoming era. The same I wish for me and all of us. \n\nLove, \nE.",

As such, it can be programmed incorrectly; in a way that does not align with reality. The truth of our core nature, however, is singular and consistent. Our programming may align with this nature, or it may diverge. Let’s call this core nature “Spirit”.  \n\nSpirit is who we are at the most fundamental level – our core consciousness. It is the same in every person (and perhaps every sentient being). This remains unaltered by anything we think, do, or experience. It is the *observer*; it bears witness to our lives from behind the scenes. It watches you be hungry, but it does not hunger. It sees you weep for the loss of a loved one, but it is not made sad. It knows only that you exist, and that existence is **glorious**.\n\nSpirit cannot be fooled, despite any erroneous programming of the brain. It knows the truth of your glorious nature in every moment. The interaction between these two facets of ourselves leads to innumerable fascinating outcomes. Humanity is a single light passing through myriad prisms of varying shapes. Hearing people’s communications in this context is what allows us to really connect with them; to recognize our inherent unity. There is only one thing being communicated: *“I am glorious Spirit, and I strive to revel in my glory.”* \n\nMarshall Rosenberg, proponent of “Non-Violent Communication”, reminds us that all statements are either saying *“Please”* or *“Thank You”*.  These two statements refer to a single experience. Much like light and dark, or hot and cold, the polarity is not between two different things, but between the *presence* of a thing and the *absence* of it.\n\nThe *“Thank You”* expressions are a thumbs-up: *I am successfully reveling in my nature; I appreciate how you've facilitated my alignment*. \n\nThe *“Please”* expressions are a thumbs-down: *My reveling is being blocked; I'm asking for your help in realigning.* \n\nAnything that anyone says ultimately refers to this alignment. Let's look at an example...\n\n># Man says: \n>”OMG, did you play the new Call of Duty? It’s frickin’ amazing, you have to play it!” \n>\n># Spirit is saying: \n>”By propping up this marvelous expression of my genius as a mirror, I was able to revel in my creativity, my aptitude, my wonder, my excitement for being living consciousness. I would like to milk this experience by having it over and over again; through you, and millions of other individualized instances of myself.” \n\n\nWhen we're in the *\"Thank You\"* mindset, we're showing appreciation for our alignment. Every positive experience is rooted in this self-awareness, even if  we're appreciating something--or someone--ostensibly outside ourselves. \n\nNow let's look at one where things aren't going so well...\n\n\n># Man says: \n>”Why didn’t you call me for my birthday? I thought we were friends.” \n>\n># Spirit is saying: \n>”I am glorious, but my brain has been conditioned to require certain events to occur in the outer world in order to recognize that. One of these required events is having other individualized instances of myself exhibit that recognition in particular ritualistic ways on particular days of the calendar year. That did not happen, so my brain is blocking the recognition. The error of this thinking is causing an experience of misalignment with the truth of my glorious nature.” \n\nHere the programming has put permission parameters in place that limit the experience of alignment. The programming requires that certain conditions be met before the alignment that's always available can be experienced. Oftentimes we will blame our discomfort on the person whose behavior did not meet our parameters, instead of blaming the true causal factor: the parameter programming itself. This causes us to enter the *\"Please\"* mindset, requesting that others meet the conditions of our parameter programming to facilitate our return to alignment.\n\nPlay around with this interpretation of communication and it will become apparent that there is only this one comment being cast through the prism at all times: **Self-Love**. Knowing this will help you unravel the knots of resistance and dissatisfaction in your own psychology; and keeping this in mind while communicating with others will help you to assist them in remembering who they are, and getting back to the reveling they so desperately seek.\n\nWe all want to be loved because Love is who we are on a core level. It's the nature of Spirit to simply *be*, and to love every minute of it! It’s what we all want to see expressed in the world, because the world is a reflection of ourselves. All man-made ills are caused by erroneous programming in the brain that contradicts the reality of our nature. Our work is to heal that discrepancy—first in ourselves, then by assisting others—and to bring our collective thoughts and actions back into alignment.\n\nThanks for checking in!\nBrian Blackwell\n\n*Relevant articles supporting a full understanding of the ideas presented above may be found here:*\n\n* [Emotions (Part 1): What They Are, and How to Use Them](https://steemit.com/spirituality/@bbblackwell/emotions-part-1-what-they-are-and-how-to-use-them)\n\n* [Emotions (Part 2): The Lie Detector](https://steemit.com/spirituality/@bbblackwell/emotions-part-2-the-lie-detector)\n\n\n* [The Nature of Needs](https://steemit.com/life/@bbblackwell/the-nature-of-needs)\n\n* [A Holistic Approach to Social Issues](https://steemit.com/life/@bbblackwell/a-holistic-approach-to-social-issues)",

As such, it can be programmed incorrectly; in a way that does not align with reality. The truth of our core nature, however, is singular and consistent. Our programming may align with this nature, or it may diverge. Let’s call this core nature “Spirit”.  \n\nSpirit is who we are at the most fundamental level – our core consciousness.

      "body": "The reason why I'm reluctant to share personal experiences is because I reject the idea that they are relevant. If a person says *\"When washing dishes, one should use soap and warm water for best results, instead of a dry stone\"*, the validity and efficacy of that information is independent of the speaker's having exemplified its efficacy in practice. Think on it yourself. Try it for yourself. Investigate to see if it's true. The idea is to be judged on its own merits, not that of the speaker.\n\nYes, the information I provide is available elsewhere. I consider myself a radio, broadcasting a message that I have not created; something that is being broadcast by many other individuals. But someone may come into my range who would not have come by this information anywhere else. I am merely trying to carry this information into my sphere of influence.\n\nI absolutely DO embody what I speak about, and one of the ways I do this is by speaking these ideas. I attempt to make my influence in any circumstance representative of that message. So whereas people may have carried on a conversation about compulsory schooling under the assumption that it's moral, appropriate, and beneficial, my presence will introduce an alternative viewpoint that casts doubt upon that unfounded set of assumptions.\n\nI also remove my support from institutions and practices that are not in accord with Truth and morality. I do not vote or appeal to politicians. I do not call the police to enforce immoral laws upon others. I do not support the vile practices of the meat and dairy industry with my dollars or participation. I would not send my children to school, but for the fact that my wife would destroy my family if I imposed this action without her consent, and I have yet to garner her consent because she is too insecure to step outside the conformist paradigm. \n\nI do, however, raise the issue constantly, and teach my children the **truth**: that teachers have no rightful authority over them, and they have no responsibility to follow any of their commands because they never consented to the arrangement that would imply the obligation. I teach them to challenge what's being asserted by teachers when they bring home information that's erroneous or deceptive. I teach them what that ritualistic oath known as *\"The Pledge of Allegiance\"* actually means, and let them know they need not participate, nor should they feel compelled to take oaths they do not understand or agree with.\n\nThere need not be any distance between us. I would prefer to both look out into the world hand-in-hand and try to figure out what we're looking at. Is the sun an LED light bulb in the sky, or a flaming ball of fire? There is a truth to this matter, as all others, and together we should seek to find it. When we do, we will necessarily agree; and if we are not in agreement, it only means the work is not yet complete on that particular subject.",

      "body": "How can you be a small expression of a higher order, when you cannot recall personal events in which this order showed itself in practice? Practice doesn't mean to talk with people about failures in reference of a higher order. It means to practice to overcome your own difficulties in interactions without bothering them with theirs or those of third parties. \n\nAre you saying no matter where you worked, where you were embedded in a family or social system you did not make a difference? How then can you explain that two facilities with the same proportions of staff and the same tasks (like hospitals, for instance), can create such different outcomes in the view of the people? If it not were for the different people in the system with their personal histories? Imagine yourself as a radiate part of the system from where everything and everybody around you is being influenced by what you do or omit (think and feel). From you it's being transported to the next and from there to the next, and so forth. Are you saying no matter if you have a bad day or a good day that those around you are unaffected by it? \n\nHow can you even be taken seriously by me if you perceive yourself as insignificant? Your higher principles are not applied alive if you cannot tell personal stories where your aspired ideals are reflected. Why should I listen to what you say when you are not an example to me? \n\nYou seem to consider it void what you or I as individuals contribute to the whole system. But we form the matrix of our human coexistence. I see it as being an important part of my system, because everything I do or do not do has an effect. Philosophy loses its meaning and power, if you see it merely as a subject of discussion. How everything becomes impoverished and philosophical without depth if you do not practice it. \n\nPractise? What does that mean for you? Talk about what's going on in your mind? The practice of compassion becomes weak when you consider your existence to be small, your past as distasteful. You don't want to be you then, but someone else? \n\nActually you point the finger at your fellow human beings who are not like the woman from the video or the philosopher or another ideal. You seem contradictory to me because, on the one hand, you imply that you are already ideally suited, on the other hand, you cannot give examples that tells such things. \n\nSo how should I understand you? Our dialogue reflects your distaste to name real episodes, your answer a renewed rejection. But at least an answer to which, unfortunately, I can only ask again: who am I actually talking to? Why should I continue to be interested in this dialogue? Everything that you mention and that is *not* Brian, I can research on the net myself. Whether it is about higher principles, searching for truth or anything else, everything is already out there. The only thing I don't find are anecdotes of a personal Brian nature, because only everyone can tell the narratives themselves and thus enrich the whole thing. \n\nAbout my anger: Mostly you have nothing to do with it. It's my frustration to not having overcome the distance between you and me and my inability to express myself in a supportive way which creates understanding. I try not to stick to it and see in this dialogue a chance to practice being less flawed. But if I fail, it's not your fault, neither mine. It's just a matter of process in which there is no end. A failure it only becomes if I consider it a failure and fix this in time.",

I care for direct interactions with teachers, state officials, policemen, judges, bosses, clients etc. etc. wherever and whenever I meet them. Situational. \n\nWhen I was unemployed and the man behind the desk began to suggest \"what we now must find out for you... \" I said to him: \"Listen, I know that's your job and I thank you. But I am very well aware of what I want and what I don't want for my working life. I make it easy. I have an idea and a plan. I prefer not to hear from you so often and instead appreciate when you give me job offers which match exactly what I have in mind.\" \nI was witnessing him breathing more easy and relieved that I took the burden from his shoulder to pretend that he could guide me. The state is not my father and neither my mother. \n\nMy bank refused to give me credit when I needed three rents from them for my new landlord. I went there and set it clear. So they gave it to me. \n\nMy boss wanted to exclude me from staff meetings and I told her that I was there to learn something and not to look from the outside. So she afterwards included me in the meetings. She actually made a joke about me, as I was crossing the borders of my profession and poked my nose into matters for which I was not responsible. My answer was: \"But that's why you hired me. You know that I do care for the people and the company as a whole. I get into trouble and that's the way it goes.\" At another time I disobeyed and said I won't do a certain task as I did not see it as my responsibility. We respect each other, I work there now for seven years. \n\nA colleague wanted me to do her inconvenient work and I told her she should do her stuff and not bother me with it. We became very good colleagues after all. \n\nI insisted to get another job at a place I really had loved to become a part of. They told me: \"Impossible. You do not bring the required education and the city binds us to this requirements.\" I said: \"Fine, than hire me as a freelancer and let's try a few hours a week.\" They agreed and actually created a fully new position for me. I work there for six years. \n\nI rejected a job offer at a rich finance company, where I could have my company car, cell phone, bonuses and leading my own marketing department. I was not interested, finance bores me to death and I am not a friend of high finances. \n\nPolice stopped me on my way to my family, two hours away from my town. They told me the back lights were broken (both!) and gave me an escort for the rest of the way, which were about 30 kilometers. \nAnother occasion, it was in the middle of the night, I was grumpy as I gave my friend a ride to his work and then lost my way in the city and ran over a stopping sign. The officer stopped me and I gruntled at him that I can't find the damn way and if he knew the directions. He gave them to me and wished me a good night. \n\nI could go on and on. \n\nYou see, you always speak of authenticity but nowhere I can feel nor sense it in what you describe as your life. \n\nOf course, I was traumatized, insulted, being taken advantage of, disrespected and accused of whatnot. But that doesn't mean I am a victim. Of course there are forces I cannot influence. But I prefer to interact within the systems I can get my hands on.",

I did not insinuate that you must be angry, or that you are a powerless victim who leaves your children to the wolves.\n\nI acknowledge that the teachers are well-intentioned... but this is of little value if they don't know the difference between right and wrong. Healing is required, but this cannot begin until the person realizes they have a problem. Pointing out that problem is not an evil, it is a necessary first step toward uplift.\n\nI have described the reality of the situation. I'm not telling you how to react to it, other than that it must be openly acknowledged. If you can devise a loving way of changing their minds, that's great, but in the meantime you and your family ARE being victimized, whether you choose to call it that or not. You and your son are being coerced to participate in this system, and people who use coercion never do so for *your* benefit, they do it for their own.\n\nPersonally, I always seek to resolve conflicts by finding common ground in what's undeniably true. You know how much luck I have with that? With most people - hardly any at all. With others - 100% success. It doesn't work is when people don't value Truth. Many are more concerned with their own circumstances, their own feelings and opinions, and with remaining in good standing with cultural norms. On some level, they don't even accept the notion of Truth at all - they think their opinion trumps everything.\n\n I don't have an opinion - I'm describing what undeniably IS. Would you refute it? Would you say it's not so *black and white*? There are certainly many factors to consider, but there IS a reality, and that reality is these people are acing in an immoral capacity, regardless of the good ends they have in mind. Those ends do not justify their *means*.\n\nI'm not sure why you take offense to any of this, or why you would judge my words based upon anything about my private life. A message must be judged upon its own merits, not upon the merits of the messenger. Either what I say is true, or it is not. If it is not, it should be rather easy to explain *how* it is not. If it is, it behooves you to accept it and figure out how to cope with it. \n\nTruth is only dangerous to falsehood, deception, and denial - to all else it is a benefit. I always seek to resolve things peacefully and rationally, yet I find that others become angry and irrational when their worldview is challenged. It's rooted in fear and insecurity. I cannot make decisions for others; all I can do is present accurate information and argumentation to support it, and encourage them to face uncomfortable realities with grace so we can help each other move forward. Unfortunately, I am not often met with willing partners in this effort.",

      "body": "What concrete examples can you give for your own life in which you and the other person involved have separated feeling that a conflict has been resolved? \n\nSo on the basis of your speech and logic I could tell you what is immoral and wrong about your own thinking and behaviour. So would you understand if I told you that the way you present your arguments and ideas is absolutely wrong and you damage your fellow world? \n\nWell, then I do that herewith: I think it is completely wrong to give my son such a world view and tell him that his teachers without exception and one hundred percent are the vicarious agents of a thoroughly evil system and that they do evil to him - because they are too stupid to recognize it - and alienate him from me. \n\nI think it is completely wrong to suggest to him that the teachers and the school are making me a weak and powerless person who, because she has nothing to oppose this, as a result makes my son a weak and speechless victim.  Who makes a judgment about people like the teachers right from the start, who suggests to my son that his mother first of all makes a verdict without knowing the convict or having heard him. Second, she presumes not only not to hear and respect anyone personally, but to place all people of a profession under general suspicion. Thirdly, she presumes to spread this general suspicion as righteous in the world and to believe that her own superior moral concept justifies it. \n\nNot only would I pretend to be exploited and a victim of the system, I would now want to inoculate my son with this self-pity and resignation. I would misuse my son to pass on my imagined powerlessness to him and want him, because I did not have enough courage myself, to resist this evil that I portrayed as generalizing. I would put my frustration as a mother on his shoulders because I would never have had the good experience that a conflict means really listening to the teachers and not judging them. It wouldn't let me set foot in school, but it would boycott everything. I would suggest to my son that I was not only a cowardly and selfish mother, but also that I would leave him alone and that he would think that I was not interested in his life. \n\nAccording to your logic, I would have to file a complaint and defend myself against compulsory schooling and do everything in my power to prevent my son from going through the state school system. In your opinion, there are no alternatives. Not a view that can move away from yours. \n\nI could say to you on the basis of your rationality: I consider all this completely immoral and wrong. Even dangerous.  Not only have you failed in your self-imposed duty not to harm other people, but you are part of the problem you condemn. What would you say if I told you that you were deeply violating my code of ethics? \n\nInstead, I invested time and energy, and I could feel that my controversial confrontation with a difficult teacher could make a difference. We didn't separate as \"ah, we love each other so much now,\" but as peers who went through a tough process. I have chosen the alternative, others may choose the fight, still others bundle their energy into activities that have an indirect impact on the systems and so eventually everyone will create change through time. \n\nIf you really believe that it is done with such simple accusations as you pronounce them, then you are much more similar than you believe to those you consider powerful.",
