I think that the sense of having an inner-void needs to be enhanced. That way people will feel an even stronger motivation to address the problem. Right now, complacency rules the day. The reason that this is important is that the fix is strong medicine that it is not for the faint-of-heart. A sense of desperation is needed to motivate people.



"The New Ark must try to save human potential. It cannot save old forms such as rigid cultural systems with their religious and political prejudices. It cannot save the universal patriarchal philosophies that belong to the past, not to the future. Indeed, the very definition of a human being is being changed by present circumstances and it is extremely limited. There cannot be a return to former definitions nor can the emerging one be accepted. A meaningful definition of the human creature should be based on real attributes and capacities. It would be wrong to perpetuate delusion merely because the actual condition may appear to be unflattering or painful to acknowledge. The present wrong definition is based on the idea that humanity already possesses complete consciousness and has the ability to direct its course. The smallest degree of objective awareness undisputedly demonstrates that what is called “full consciousness” is merely reaction to stimuli, very similar to that of a spider weaving a web or a beaver building a dam. Human reactive behavior is more complex and involves a greater range of capacity, but it is scarcely conscious. It is conditioned response at a low level when compared to the potential of real consciousness and action of will. Intelligence is at work as it is with the spider, but consciousness beyond simple awareness is lacking.

The realization that collective humanity is in a low state of conscious being is not new. Most of the religions of the old world, though diverted by cultural manipulation, began as an attempt to help people wake up to their potential to be conscious creatures with conscience. The force of transformation is always lost in this process, but it takes only minimal effort to discover in Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and other religious systems, a teaching that points to a higher state of conscious being than the ordinary conditioned state. Some call this higher potential “enlightenment,” “awakening,” “transformation,” or “salvation”. Jesus called it the Kingdom of Heaven, a state that can be entered only by “metanoia” (a Greek word used in the Gospels, very wrongly translated as “repentance”, which means “change of thinking”…an intellectual rather than emotional change.)

Apart from religion, modern science has made helpful discoveries about the human brain and its potential, although science is limited by its own incomplete assessments and limited scope. Science is good at dissecting the material universe, but it cannot comprehend the unity of whole systems in a dynamic universe. Science can be a useful tool for human beings with values, with conscience, but at the same time, without direction, it can run amuck and be a destructive tool, as is so obviously the case in life at the present.

…

The almost insurmountable problem in presenting ideas that actually help individuals change their being, --help them to wake up to their real situation, -- is that what can really help is offensive to the conditioned ego with its false sense- of-self. People as a rule cannot hear the truth about themselves – that they live in a low, conditioned state with no real choice as to what happens to them – that they live in illusion, basing their self-image on false beliefs about themselves and about the world – that they never really think, but that thoughts occur to them automatically – that their emotional life is not under the control of a permanent identity and wreaks havoc in their own lives as well as in the lives of others, -- that their physical function is unhealthy and in a state of peril, in constant conflict with the other centers, the intellectual and emotional systems.

When we are not aware of our awareness we live in a low, conditioned state with no real choice beyond mere reactivity to happenstance; but reside in an illusion, based on a fictitious self-image and false beliefs about our inner and outer worlds. Rather than endless forms of anaesthetization to avoid the pain of not really being here, we must find the way out of the haze of substitute gratifications. The void - the wound of lack of sovereignty cannot be filled with anything other than sovereignty...the inner Light. So how do we allow the inner Light to shine?

The Tantra of Tango
True tantric relationship is not possible while we are still encapsulated in the cocoon of conditioned personality, because the motivation and operational mode of the painbody and ego is focused on physical stress relief and pain release. That is the relationship is based on comfort and the assuagement of suffering and will thus tend to generate suffering in equal measure to the pain we carry inside. Tantra engaged in with awareness, insight and preparedness to moving through the layers of karmic armoring, is one of the fastest ways beyond the ego, if there is sufficient love there to burn through the shielding.

"I have been very intrigued by the possible relationship of conscious awakening of Kundalini to the experiences available to social dancers who allow the intimacy of the tango embrace to open their hearts." Brian Dunn

Tango is an interesting play of control and surrender...which is ineffable...like love or sex itself is ineffable...and kundalini also in ineffable. Even though we cannot really express its full nature, mastery of these is a matter of coordination...(with ordering action)...the act of ordering or uniting...a synthesis of body, mind and soul. Very healing for participants and observers. I would like to have a conversation with you about the mismatch of skill or talent levels...the matching of a very fluid open person with a neurotic person and such...and how that plays out in tango and results you may have seen along these lines.

When you look at big picture of how the culture creates the brain that creates the culture it is obvious that we still live in a pyramid structured society. Hierarchal order is maintained by subtle force, aggressive power and intimidation, which weakens the inner pilot, the core creative self and damages the inner child. Through its integrating action of bringing together kundalini fire, movement, coordination, relationship, rhythm, music and the play of the dance...tango may be one of the most profound methods of building sovereignty we have. The two individuals have to be a functional center in themselves in order to come together in a sublime fashion to "dance or play" together. Perfect interaction therefore requires whole individuals, which then builds ever-greater wholeness. The whole being more than the sum of the parts...and this spontaneous play toward wholeness being the art of life. The dance towards wholeness is called awakening or metanoia.

Carl Jung interpreted “metanoia” as a process of renewing the psyche as a form of self healing or cathartic state change. Metanoia is viewed as “changing one's mind,” in the sense of embracing thoughts beyond its present limited, negative thought patterns. Metanoia, I think means becoming conscious of being conscious. It is when the pilot light of the soul has been lit, and the noetic juice is flowing strong. With meta-awareness we are more real because we are not simply reacting to our environment with the cache of wounds and deprivations that we are seeking compensation for. Permanent metanoia is the state or stage of the adult human, the sovereign individual. Kundalini is the metanoetic heat that fuels the life of the muse. I think my bubbled oxygenated water may lead to a radical steady amplification in Kundalini by increasing metabolism. This may mean that along with copious raw greens, I may have found a way to keep the muse’s metanoia volume permanently up and also have the energy for execution of the work as well.

The sovereign state is invincible, immutable immovable. It is unequivocal rootedness in being in the “Kingdom within,” that is sufficient unto itself. From there we can act to bring our unique cosmic genius into the world…whereby the worldly Kingdom or divine order comes about. If we never enter the crystal castle and sit on our throne, then we are a pitiful pawn to the maelstrom of other people’s agendas. Gaining the inner resources through becoming a self-reliant captain and learning soul navigation skills is the way out of the leviathan of the wounded self. You have go to be sailing your own ship, you can’t just jump on another occupied boat and expect to get along with its inhabitants at such close quarters. We all carve our own destiny from the ocean of stars. Through alignment with infinity we become real and find our way through the daze of our lives. Through the superior vision of metanoia we can supervise our lives with benign supervision.

Once you establish your throne and your Kingdom, then you can be with your Queen. The Queen represents gnosticism, Sophia and the Muse or Daimon. The wisdom of the Heart’s intelligence in communion with All.

In a word; boring

[Jana]

No, everything beneath sovereignty is boring. Sovereignty is the essence of magic and mystery and magnificance.

This might be the simple version of what I m doing with this book...do you think this offhand paragraph could go on the back of my book...I like its casualness.

This book on awakening sovereignty is to help us all move out of slave consciousness and codependency to figures of authority...ie: to find the Source within. The lack of creativity, spontaneity, and synchronicity exhibited in a rote learned, orthodoxy seeking culture is represented in the symbol of the old diseased Fisher King. The King is wounded in the thigh...that is his Eros is blocked and he is cut off from the healing energies of the Whole. We can see that this is a metaphor for the entrenchment of the ego in the individual and in the collective...at the end phase of a life or a cultural era. By deliberate intension and positive proactive practice we can initiate the spark of divine redemption, to release the energy held in the armored shell of isolation. Increasingly we will perfect the science of spirit such that we can let go of the karmic load of our species ignore-ance...to make good...to travel lighter and to discover our ultimate freedom. For the purpose of the universe is Freedom, and the science of spirit involves waking up to that fact. Through the alchemy of amelioration we can reboot ourselves and the entire species to fully enter the stream of Life!

The problem is the solution!
