WATCH: Escaping the Madhouse – #SolutionsWatch

If you’ve watched Dissent Into Madness then you’ll not only know about the ways that psychological insights are being weaponized against us but, more importantly, you’ll have an idea about what we can do about it. Today on #SolutionsWatch, James considers more ideas for escaping from this societal madhouse garnered from the new Psychology course at OpenSourceEducation.online.

I took an interest in NLP years ago when I was young and single and came across the pick up artist stuff.

Never had much success using it to pick up girls, but I do value it for being able to see how much manipulation we are subjected to each and every day. When I have passed through airports in the US, I noticed that the level seemed ramped up even more than in my own country.

The shift that I invite and practice growing in, is of recognising a ‘guilt’ operating system usurping love as living principle (not dead concept).

But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”

“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.
“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.
~ Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland 

The assumption that reality (of our self, our life and our world is ‘as we tell it to ourselves’ is a wishful thinking that could not stand but for being reinforced and persistently reset by shock framed in attack and grievance that we WANT to accuse in the Other – be that anything other than a sense of self ‘saved’ from attack as a limited hangout or damage limitation set in masking cover stories of self-justifictions.

Of course such is not anything we know that we do — for the most part—because we operate from a strategy of masking defences that gain functional support from seeing others as either with or against us – with the focus on war (including one-up-man-ship) overriding a receptive and reflective appreciation.

I’m saying that to frame it all in terms of THEY LIE or sin etc – is part of the signature characteristic of the ego-adjusted/distorted perception. That we join in mutually reinforcing self-illusion is so evident to all but those en-tranced to their own vested image as a scripted play of diversionary displacement – (Plato’s Cave).

Phishing is a new term for being taken in by image and form as reality. It also underlies what came to be called Satanic—as judgement of reality as form assigns locked down meanings that reflect a possessive grasp of control.
“I want it THUS!” can represent to ego of such terms and conditions. Tantrum arises from a sense of self-denied as a manipulative intent to force life to what we invest in as ‘self-will’. When we discover open attack rarely works, has deep drawbacks and is exhausting, we develop subtler and more sophisticated strategies —within a social masking of other egos or other living ones who are actively joining in learning, boosting and maintaining such defences.

As I recently posted into escapekey’s substack
https://escapekey.substack.com/
The system capture (so well described in his writing) that is increasingly substituting, replacing and denying life to the Living is a reflection of a collective inner conflict.
My point is that you cant attack the cause in the symptoms or effects but that you wish to be-live fake solutions that buy time (with sacrifice of true), so as to put the conflict OUTSIDE yourself and at the hand of an Other – regardless who or what serves the shifting roles of a world cast by denial, rejection, abandonment, treachery and betrayal.

There is a realm of cause and effect in time that serves a basis for growing self awareness and self-responsibility in time. But prior to the split mind that I have just sketched, is Cause and Effect as one – where Creation is in no way separate from Creator. For many this is somewhat abstract and perhaps archaic, but the experience of unselfconscious joy is not a ‘self-gratification of terms and conditions met, but a release of the ‘permissive’ tyranny of madness rendered ‘normal’ to a light of awareness that is both in and through all that is. There is no way to bring the ego of possession and control into wholeness or timelessness. Nor is there any such need.

Covid Operation—for many—has shown that perceived or believed threat or evil is enough to trigger countermeasures as defences that not only project the evil as ‘real’ BY reaction, but protect the underlying conflict from critical awareness or discernment. (Healing).
How can we escape from an unreal situation, but that we must first make it real in our own mind, and by giving value and meaning to it, live the meaning we have invested as a basis for ‘solving’ or managing the ‘problem’.

Clearly there is awareness and manipulation of minds by other minds, (we all know how to do this) but beneath the forms of polarised ‘narratives of good and evil’ that shape blame and sacrifice are contracts of an energetic resonance—running beneath the masking presentations of a ‘socially normal’ madness.

To truly seek the renewal of our mind may not be available to us while we persist a mindset of grievance driven attack and sacrifice as if —this time —it will work.

That solutions don’t solve nonetheless holds a residual function of delaying the reopening or re-vision of what lies beneath. Conflict avoidance is not concerned with truth, integrality or true workability – but of buying time against compounded guilt and fear that seem to be under control and thus further away or dissociated from.

From the perspective of a truly grounded reference point, our thought and feeling is coincident to our ‘world’ or result.
Emotion-driven ideological capture runs on self-lack and grievance driven self-indication or indeed ‘vengeance’. “Give vengeance to the Lord” is often interpreted by fear as framing a god of vengeance.
But giving or releasing the mind of vengeance to a willingness for truth receives peace as heart and mind as one.

Beginner’s mind is not an immunity to experience, but a fresh and living willingness from which to ask and receive or knock and be answered.
That we can and do manipulate our own mind runs beneath the ‘mind-control’ assigned to Others. The call or need for sanity of an undistorted mind is thus fundamental to all that then proceeds. But this is not a process of hoops to get through so much as a simple and direct willingness in the moment or situation at hand.

Mind can project conflict, but does not truly extend Creation by blocking communication. Lies call to be undone in our own mind —first. THEN we can receive a discernment to the situation that is not yet another way of feeding it under a mask of war on…whatever.

The basis for not joining in lies or living by lies is living truth.
This is not patentable, nor can the ego copy right.
Its not wrong to use self-illusion or imaged reality as long as we recognise the map is not the terrain. Else we are phished by our own thinking as an identity theft by which to be robbed by an unwitting habit of perception-responses.

How can you translate what you demonstrate no understanding of?
Is this because you are locked down into thinking you already know and thus have no need to ask for wisdom but only to accuse what you prefer to judge in others?

Alamy sell rights to use stock photos.There is a lot of marketising and weaponising of victims in our ‘caring’ era that actually cares nothing for them but what they can be used for.
Seeking to shame others is not an honourable communication, but an intent to attack, undermine or mark out as a target for ‘cancelling’.

If Life=War then no such behaviour is simply ‘natural’ beneath a ‘social’ masking of claim or assumption of authority or virtue relative to its target.

You take it as an attack but it was not meant as such. I just wanted to make you see the situation in another angle.
Maybe you was/are locked in box. To be confronted with harsh reality can sometimes bring people back on track. No offence intended.

The photo is real life. I have walked in these streets and seen and met these kids. In one occasion I invited the whole gang to eat pizza with me on a restaurant.

The waiter and me had a good time asking the boys, “Senhor here is the menu card”, “would Senhor like it with anjos, cheese or salami”, Choose between orange juice, mango juice, passion fruit juice, with or without icecubes, etc.
The boys pretended they had done this a 100 times……..(turning the menu card upside down).

Your sentences in your latest comment are very difficult to read even for me who are not top but anyway read advanced stuff frequently.

As one of my superiors said to me once reading my marketing of his Senior expertise to Employers: “Its fine to play the guitar, but you should also be careful not to be completely infiltrated in the strings”.  🙃  .

Worshippers of false gods are not poor innocent sucklings

When a blind man on a galloping horse could see that:

5 minute old sucklings are interested in milk – they have no idea about Deities, real or imaginary (that occurs at the later time of inculcation).

i.e.

they ARE poor innocent sucklings.

Voken megalomaniacal innocent suckling killer worshipper easing whatever conscience is left with a bit of pizza.

You didn’t attack me.
But your own credibility.
Why ‘make someone see’ when you can offer your own witness as an invitation to see?

Using specially selected examples to smear by association (what I did not address TO such a situation), is a typical form of ‘attack on communication’.

If we use such a mindset, we cannot understand or accept freedom to see – because such a mind is ‘made to see’ something ELSE – for which victims and perpetrators (grievances) are summoned to serve as witness for guilting invalidation, denial, subjugation or sacrifice.

Part of this is a confusion of levels.
I am not addressing the ego level and attempts to interpret with a fear and guilt operating system will not not make sense.

Focusing on the persona engages in ‘interpersonal’ diversions that reflect intra-personal conflicts To such a focus Life Is War.
This can be discerned in the sci-rationalised ideologies that underlie system capture to a closed system of thought as a control structure.

If you want background to Gaza that doesn’t get much focus look at
https://escapekey.substack.com/p/the-20-point-plan-for-gaza
Unless the underlying active corruption of thought and identity can be addressed – the sacrifice of life to ’emergency’ ratchets to a hell frozen over or a lockdown of undying vengeance that can never be satiated.

I’m open different ways of seeing than polarised hate, ratcheting guilt-based ‘moral’ control as financially rigged technocratic sacrifice.

I live who I am in good faith as trust in self and life as a whole. I am not here to tick all your boxes for accreditation as conditional to transact within a zero-trust mindset.

Playing and singing is for me an easy way to become transparent to or one with a wholly living music. I don’t understand what ‘infiltrating the strings’ could possibly mean.

Conceptualised joy can be performed as a technical brilliance but without the resonance of the heart, runs hollow as image or idol worship. That illusions fail is a merciful release, but while defended, the idol demands fear, pain, struggle and loss as sacrifice of the Living.

establishing The Gaza Riviera For Billionaires, compulsory digital

Name and nature are no longer of the same for ab use of Form is not a truly shared reality.
Blair T consents to be used as a face for fronting systemic plunder and sacrifice framed in doublethink as ‘power’ over life.

The idea of improving the stock or managing the stock was a mask drawn from the ‘authority’ given the (political or whig-framed) science of the time.
But the same mindset now nurtures sickness and dysfunction in its ‘lab-human’ culture.

As an individual I can accept responsibility for thought as consciousness through which to see and share in a world of the fruits thereof. Or I can blame the world I see on evils to be attacked, eradicated, excommunicated, cast out and made sacrifice by judgements that also speak of my own unhealed or unfaced conflicts.

But a Mastery set over slaves doesn’t need a ‘race’ so much as a joining in hate and deceit for the will to power over life. That this is death -and a death wish – is not apparent to the illusion of power playing out as a collective self-reinforcing and self-destructive script.

That we are is not the same as what we assert or claim and contract to be.
The realm of defining and judging reality is where power is extended as surrogate agreements, that can and do drift to become a corrupted usurp of true power – which is indigenous to life.
Thus the idol or a fake solution taken as a foundation.
Thus the prodigal’s mis-taken inheritance.

True Inherence is a living ‘field’ of Communication as Participance.
The models and theories utilised or technologised for private gain of fragmented functions, run in our mind and shape our thought but are be-lived as the framework of ruled and filtered ‘reality’.
Accessing the underlying definitions is ‘blocked’ by guilting terror scripts’ that deny ‘user access’. But there is a basis from which to question a masking ‘reality’.
“Who told you you were naked?” (said the Lord) – signifies an awareness from which to move from an unmasked curiosity. By living love is the loveless revealed false through the renewal of our mind.
To accept truth is to release the use of the false – and here is where we find conflicted allegiances and dependencies, having long adapted to and invested in a false face as our ‘survival strategy’ for a treacherous or ‘defective’ world.

It doesn’t have to be a symbol if it means access to buying and selling requires the mark of state permission.
There are variations of this :ie : Religion dictates sacrifices that must be bought from Temple priests or their officials – who run monopolistic extortion where exclusion or excommunication would be stoning or being driven out.
Mandatory does not mean lawfully required but as escapekey on substack articulates, regulatory guidelines, operate protocols that underlie credit/money access. As the system automates it becomes impossible for transactions to occur if the regulatory protocols have not been met.
This is bigger than – but includes an individual as a component of programmable currencies of value assignment. Its the fruit of Economically structured moral socialism. But the concept of moral here refers to judgements set by the elite or special few over the managed many. For the greater good – of course.
