If we don't abandon ourSelf then Source, the Light and the Force are always with us.

We have established that primate power dynamics are largely maintained by negative, underhanded or shadow means. Socialized into the horror of human power dynamics means our spiritual and relational wiring becomes damaged, saddened and disillusioned. Our hearts are all but killed by belonging to the human race as it presently stands. In moving beyond this socio-psychosomatic deprivation and deterioration we have to find the strength to grow our hearts in hostile territory. If we are committed to our larger purpose in life we have to maintain our sovereign ground and draw directly from Source all that we need to become whole in mind, body and spirit.

The infantile impulse of the broken human (Borg) in us may seek restitution for the ills done against us by others, but the sovereign understands that all such attempts at groveling for dignity from the existing sick power systems are futile. We are so very relational that we often try and seek to gain personal freedom from the person, institution or “culture” that permanently imprisons us. Sovereignty is always Self bestowed. So don’t try to ask, beg, demand or force the Borg to give you sovereign dignity, for the Borg IS the antithesis of the Christ or Buddha Self and can only ever give you more of its own hell. The Borg can only devastate the human species and ravage the earth till it is a sterile lifeless rock.

If we cannot do the heroic work of rising up against the Borg in our own flesh and coming into the Self, then it makes it that much harder to others to also free themselves from the trance of Thanatos. But this is not a war of death, but a truce of love. Only the sovereign “I” through a powerful connection to Source can heal us from the infinite sneaky machinations of the Borg. The wound of separation from Source is the wound of dehumanization. As we move through the wound of dehumanization that is caught in our bodymind, the incarnation of spirit into repressed and deadened tissue may be excruciating. Growing angel wings is especially arduous, but the secret is to absorb waterfalls of light through the head to illuminate the lungs and the belly...this takes the strain off the heart...then you just close your eyes and breathe into the light.

The temple in our own heart is exemplified and reflected in the world.

Why so unforgiving, and why so cold?
Been a long time crossing Bridge of Sighs.

I am doing my job...someone has gotta do it... It is the Borg that is cold and unforgiving...and I am killing the Borg with love lest we abandon ourselves completely for eternity.

• Lust for Shakti—Focus on the “flame” instead of on the “vessel” leads to an explosion of the vessel and a loss of the alchemical gold. Spiritual growth is thus aborted by not understanding the metamorphic process and our own condition. Preoccupation with raising Kundalini is problematic because of our inflammatory western bodies and psychotic culture...so I only recommend raw, regeneration, remineralization, restitution and reforestation (RRRRR)...then if we do these and kundalini awakens we may become sane. The secret to raising kundalini which I deliberately avoiding putting into my BOK book was that if you do the Kundalini Practice Skills List in order to revitalize the bodymind, you will probably raise kundalini gracefully; and the Inner Arts help to integrate and focus the powerful energies of emergent consciousness.


The Avatar movie clearly expresses the difference between base and true gold. I think the justification for the quirky name "unobtanium" speaks to the fact that this "element" symbolizes the last piece of commodified richness in the universe. It is unattainable because it sits under the home tree of a sentient species that is guarded and protect by Nature - for they live in perfect communion with nature. Through the mining company it is suggested that humanity is so degraded and separated from the Tao that some of us would even destroy the last bit of God-like sentience in the universe in order to get at the base gold. The spiritual gold being the love bond and spiritual consciousness of the Na'vi. Hence the True Alchemical Unobtanium is achievable by those who work with the syntropic, generative powers of the universe herself. We do not have to destroy anything to attain the True Alchemical Unobtanium, but our own destructive shadow nature that occludes the light of spirit. Within the home tree of our own DNA lies the greatest riches in the universe, should we wish to partake of the inner treasure with a true heart.

Because the Borg lives on power it hates disturbance to its power differential and will up its tenaciousness when its dominance position feels like it is losing ground. This escalation of power-hunger will encompass a range of symptoms such as exaggerated self-aggrandizement, more negative projections, deformation of character, suspiciousness, enlisting others in baiting and trick dramas and screwed no matter what dilemmas. This paranoia is not unusual it is the norm, especially in times of economic stress, resource scarcity or territorial situations.

This defensive stance is the basis for war, criminality and crimes against Nature. Because “the little man” is separated from the sublime connectivity of the Self, the Borg’s sense of right and wrong is skewed and this explains why it is unrelenting. The Borg will not cease in its rampage through the universe until the sadomasochistic (fascist) armoring in the body is release and more expanded-unified levels of consciousness are reached. When we have a Wilhelm Reichian style re-volution of the human species, only then are coexistence and inclusivity and celebration of difference possible. Peace is unity-love-flow or connectivity to All...having broken out of the shell of defensive social conditioning. When the Borg is “undone” then peace will reign. We just have to love enough to not abandon the Self…then we can bring heaven to earth.

Exposing Disorder

Your lack of social knowledge compounded with bad social
conditioning created a self-invalidation cycle in you; first, your
dysfunctional attitudes and behaviors resulted in a steady
outcome of invalidating social experiences. This reinforced
negative feelings about yourself. Not only were you ignorant
about the way to become attractive, you also felt worthless.
This lead you to develop many self-defense mechanisms to deal
with your feelings of worthlessness. You created distortions,
deceived yourself and denied any truths that would expose
your feeble, incompetent condition.

To bring order to your social interactions, your disorderly
condition must be exposed. There is no way to address your
disorderly condition without first realizing you are disorderly.
Otherwise, you will see no need to change the way you interact
with others.

Exposing your own disorder is not an easy task—it requires
pain. You have built your sense of worth around your identity.
To reveal a problem with that identity will cause you great pain.

Exposing your disorderly condition will be a great blow to your
self-esteem; however, this realization is necessary to progress
toward order.

Like most people, you probably assume that changing your
perspective is simply a matter of gaining new information.
But because your perspective is dysfunctionally linked to your
identity, that approach never works. Your self-esteem will fight
being exposed, making your current perspective stubbornly
resist attempt to change it.

Change equates to an admission of error on your part. To
accept change would expose your disorderly condition. In
turn, the value you assign to your identity would be negatively
affected, causing you to feel terrible.

This is why your self-esteem treats attempts to fundamentally change your
perspective as cold-hearted attacks against your identity. Your
self-esteem hates the exposure of your disorderly condition.
However, a proper change in perspective will touch your
identity at its core. It is an extremely painful matter because,
in effect, changing your perspective asks you to change your
identity. Even though your identity is the problem, you have
grown accustomed to its familiar presence like an old stuffed
animal.

Yes, disidentify with the level that created the disorder through dissolution in formlessness...sliding the core operating mode more toward the divine Self. This letting go of the more contracted position on the scale of Being usually requires fasting and opening the body armor...for we cannot normally speed our vibration without removing that which is blocking the light. When greater Self-connection is achieved we can then focus and integrate it to substantiate our evolution.

If you are fighting for sovereignty you will never make it, for sovereignty is only won through opening and love. We inflame the Borg by focusing on it and this allows the disclosure and clarification of shadow necessary to build the skill set and meta-awareness needed to transcend it. The "way to dissolve the Borg" is to accept the little man and respect the reptilian brain functions and understand the shadow. Then to raise ones own energy beyond mere reactivity to primate politics and positively project "higher human functioning," and then to include others in the field of this embrace.

Gaining meta-awareness of primate dynamics by studying chimps (Jane Goodall) and baboons (Robert Sapolsky) allows the detachment necessary to rapidly ascend the veils of samsara to create more visionary proactive relationships through the universal Self. The Borg is constructed from the vice of status control which has been with us since the beginnings of the species. Every act of denying our truth or compromising our well-being in order to survive within a group hierarchy has built up the false self over millions of years. This diminished persona belongs to the relative or conditioned domain, and yet we also have a cosmic Self on which we can draw to pull ourselves out of the suffering and limitations of the ego. Awakening sovereignty is an infinite journey of the metamorphosis of body, mind and soul from the relative small self to the post-conditioned large Self.

http://www.integralenlightenment.com/pages/giaaudios/index.php  —Awesome talk with Ken Wilber on “Integral Spirituality: Embracing the Three Faces of God,” (ie: I, We and It). Fantastic essential contemporaneous overview even if you think you know it all already. In this outstanding overview talk Ken Wilber points out that we are a spectrum of being that encompasses two sides:
RELATIVE: Form, Time, Finite self, Ego, Separate Self Sense, Personality, I Am (subjectivity).
NONDUAL: Formlessness, Emptiness, Timelessness, Infinite Self, Unified Ground of Being, Divine Presence, Self, Spirit (Objectivity).

Wilber suggests that the key to realization is to recognize that the personal I Am is not separate from Spirit itself and to engage in a one-on-one relationship with God through the second person “We.” By dissolving into the infinitude of ultimate intelligence that constitutes the cosmos the small "I Am" loses its finitude and boundaries to include ever more of the whole into its Self-system. This is not a loss of identity, but an increasing expansion of identity and the cosmic dignity of sovereignty or sublime identity. Through such opening and embrace we can build a civilization based on networks of husbandry and care, rather than one based on negative control mechanisms that diminish our essential humanity. The key to the mystic civilization is to know that the sovereign Self is the expression of Source.

Non Self-abandment is the central means of obtaining sovereignty.

The Egyptian alchemical term "The Great Work" speaks to the the science which transmutes base levels of consciousness steeped in ignorance, to recover our connection to soul and bring forth from its depths the new values which represent the The Young King (Trismosin - Splendor Solis).
THE GREAT WORK: HEALING THE WASTELAND Anne Baring

The regeneration of consciousness itself lies at the heart of the sovereign journey and this renewal process is determined by "will." We could say that "will is sovereignty" or the ability to reign over outside and inside forces to determine ones self chosen destiny. Will employs focus, determination, consistancy, mental resolve, choice, self-control and self-determinancy.
 
"Unless you make proper use of [will] you have neither indepence nor firmness. You are unable to control yourself and become a mere machine for others to use." 58, The Power of Concentration, Theron Dumont
 
Concentration is the source of will and wisdom...and this requires peace in the brainstem (autonomic nervous system) which allows the energy and brain coherence necessary to focus and sustain ones attention and to remove the barriers between the conscious and unconscious mind. Thus peace is the key to whole person functioning. Lack of peace, otherwise known as stress,  leads to the diminished spectrum, depth and potential of consciousness and mainifests an ongoing Borg culture in which life becomes increasingly mechanical.

Hi Daniel,
I have a page on self-abandonment if you want it, email me.

Non Self-abandonment is the central means of obtaining sovereignty.
A man or woman of means does not Self-abandon.
Meaning in life is the antithesis of Self-abandonment.

Self-hatred = compulsive suffering and self-torture having been taught to love ourselves on the condition of our contribution or utility to those we are bound to. This generates a sense of loss of self-center, or self-abandonment that is ultimately depleting and destructive…and fails to uplift the collective good, no matter how hard we spin our wheels in an effort to relieve the condition, without being aware of its cause. The defensive ego that has been unskillfully trying to preserve our sense of self against others claims and infringements on our life, becomes the very cage that keeps us from our Self and prevents our being response-able for our own life. Composed of our resistance to not having our sovereignty affirmed we are cut off from our true nature and cosmic feeling self or spirit. We then try to “make contact” and be included through ineffectual attempts to heal, help, fix, teach and save others. That is our lack of center makes us compulsively extend responsibility for the outer world through cues for action that are coming at us. But because we don’t have a strong sense of self-worth and self-love we find it hard to turn our conscious attention back onto ourselves in order to generate mature cues and motivation to self-responsible action.

The larger picture to non-Self abandonment is this:
    If it is the non-alpha male and female that causes “trouble” in a population due to insecure power plays, then it stands to reason we should set about expanding the alpha faculties in all individuals. Because the infrastructure of civilization is already well established we no longer need the master/slave dynamic. Indeed the leader/follower model is obsolete if in any way it promotes suppression and latency of the genius and sovereignty of the individual. The guru is only valid if he or she points the student to the powers within and their own divinity. Once we gain sovereignty we establish emotional security beyond the need to engage power plays and so we can cooperate and cocreate win/win outcomes in all transactions. Freed from the entropy of petty competition our imaginations can expand to reveal the most abundant, spirited solutions. As a species we have hit the wall with our mode of social behavior to date and now we have to become more conscious of the fact that competition, following leaders, top-down power systems and lack of individual sovereignty is driving the species to extinction. When it comes to the human species Darwin was wrong…it is not survival of the fittest, but survival of the most cooperative…and cooperation doesn’t mean obedience, it means doing the right thing. We are headed for a mystic civilization in which sovereign individuals cooperate enthusiastically to build heaven on earth.

Here is the rest of the Self-abandonment piece. Would appreciate if you could tell me if this covers it for you. We are only rejected and abandoned to the degree that we reject and abandon our Self.


In trying to name this condition we could call it codependency, but this tends to stop the inquiry at addiction, enabling and dysfunctional families. Whereas in actual fact human society in general is in this dissipative mode until sovereignty is established and dharma is derived from the core self and not from karma. Presovereign dharma is a reactionary over responsibility that constitutes a guilt-ridden need to rescue and enable others in our life in order to patch together a sense of self and self worth. This under-prioritization dismantles the natural hierarchy of the macrocosm and microcosm and subverts the individuals relationship with themselves and the universe at large. If through unawares the individual is culturally prevented from developing their core self and authentic motivating force (the Muse), then we have a society of under-actualized enablers racing around trying to get enough strokes to compose an identity and feel like their lives have meaning and purpose. Apparently post-awakening relationships need to be focused on joint dharma or joint interest or vocation. The biological imperative to bond with another human is radically diminished as the hormones have changed away from procreation.

By taking on too much responsibility for our others, even by holding the subconscious hope that we might save them, they fail to develop appropriate self-responsibility. The best thing we can do for people is to affirm their inner resourcefulness, sovereignty, unique potential and their power to responsibly engage their life. But we cannot even do this much if we ourselves have not yet claimed our little center of the universe for ourselves. The double bind of hopeless service extended for conditional love is one of the main lessons of the age that we are having to deal with and grow out of to more evolutionary healthy patterns. Those without sovereignty are caught transfixed between an overwhelming compulsive urge to heal, help, fix, teach and save others, while simultaneously subconsciously knowing the futility of doing so and even feeling that one will be hated for ones so called selfless service. The premonition of rejection is there because our compulsive world-saving campaign is founded on the deprivation state of self-abandonment. If we stop giving ourselves only conditional love then we rise out of the deprivation state. If we abandon or reject ourselves, so will everyone else abandon and reject us also.

At this time of great change we must actively and mindfully shape our contacts with other people to make this crucial turn on the spiral of rising consciousness. We must explore new avenues of cooperation founded on sharing the truly awesome gifts of sovereignty born of aligning with cosmogenius and bringing forth all that we are. If we don’t care enough about ourselves to listen to our own soul and tend our personal self-system, then all we do is continue the entropic culture that is counter to the humanizing principle and evolution. The loving thing is a piece of cake - you just get out of your head and into your heart. But because we have been overly engaged in presovereign non-self-loving behavior as a cultural tradition since the species was conceived, we have to talk about how we screw ourselves and each other over...and establish that baboon politic conversation along with the solutions and the inspiring insights.

Here is the jist of it: When love is conditional a defensive shell personality is built which bottles and contorts the force of spirit and prevents individuation. But I don’t mean to imply that there has been an ongoing conspiracy against the emergence of the sovereign individual. Rather it is just that we haven’t consciously focused on it and applied ourselves to it yet as we were still too busy with food, fucking and fighting. I am sure you know of people, perhaps your own parents, who forfeited their own interests and development for the sake of the family. We must always deeply honor and respect the enormous suffering and sacrifice of those in the past whose struggles have given us both the learning experience and the opportunity to explore our higher purpose and drive toward actualization. We own it to them to do so, so that their pain may not be in vain, for any gains we make toward sovereignty are seeded into the collective common-well. Through the drive for spiritual freedom of all those who have gone before us we now have the potential to build a Sovereign Society.

The need to save the world—to heal, help and teach all sentient beings out of avoidance of ones own life—is a sign of the dissociation and depersonalization trauma damage caused by patriarchal dynamics. In patriarchal dependency systems such as the average nuclear family—we are encouraged to give up our life in service in order to survive or be worthy and “loved.” Thus dysfunctional families breed selfless narcissists. Which sounds like a contradiction in terms, and yet narcissism is actually the self-hatred that emanates from being separated from the core sovereign self and cosmic connection. The world saving messianic drive is an immature attempt to gain self-respect and to ease the pain of separation, having not been taught to love ourselves due to the power-over rather than power-within societal model.

The world saving impulse is intimately tied to the Muse (wholeness navigator) and élan vital, so engaging on the Great Quest is one way of reconnecting to the cosmos and the soul. Living the art of life as Divine Play is a more mature response to “reconnection” that allows us to give most deeply and rewardingly to humanity and Gaia. Thus as our awakening process deepens we are motivated more from en-joyment rather than from the need to fix the pain of the past. This being a natural progression, it offers hope that we will increasingly live lives at a higher order of being in which we do not have to suffer greatly in order to wake up. Martyring yourself for the sake of the human race or all sentient creatures does produce blissful reward chemistry, which suppresses the pain of the sacrifice…as is described in the Passion of Christ.

However, we have also seen in the last two thousand years that one person’s martyrdom does not lead directly to another person’s enlightenment. We can do more for the whole by modeling higher modes of life, rather than allowing ourselves to be victim of the impossible ignorance and negligence of human behavior and the cultural habits of humanity. The holiness of martyrdom is a ploy used by the patriarchal religions to encourage people to give up their lives and go into battle to acquire resources, property and power for the church and/or state. Clearly this model is the opposite of what is needed in a global community.

On one level dependents hate those they are dependent on because the tension of needing anything from another is painful, decentering and disempowering. Thus it is ironically counterproductive to try and achieve affection and importance by giving to others out of a need for approval or appeasement. Far better to focus our energies on increasing the perfection of the delivery of our greatest gifts and in inspiring others in the discovery of their own sovereignty. Codependency, or the refusal to claim sovereignty, is a spiritual disease because it aborts and destroys lives and prevents the flourishing of the Self-system on which higher functional civilization is built. We are only codependent and bond together through infantilism, shadow and addictions because we have not yet consciously established sovereignty as the core structure of society. In this way, by default and neglect we fall short of a spiritually actualized society generation after generation, for prepersonal sacrifice, enabling and codependency lead to stagnation, regression and loss of actualization. Knowing that sovereignty is an emergent quality, we can compassionately use the pain generated by codependency to grow into our transpersonal self, and to honor and respect the sovereignty of all others.

We survived the last 6 million years due to our capacity to evolve adaptations to environmental changes via cultural traditions. We can now begin a cultural tradition of evolving sovereignty and basing all our “systems” upon the hub of the inalienable right to the flourishing of Self. When we do this, much of that which is life-negating, dysfunctional and “dark” in our human world will be resolved and the will to life will not be set against, but nurtured in the deepest sense. It is very important to realize that we are indeed bringing in a new stage in the human experience. Although we have talked about soul, genii, daimon and Self for centuries, we still have not substantiated these on a general societal level in our daily lives.

As the Self finds its wings forgiving damage we endured by past primitive modes of being that we or others have done to us becomes superfluous. We see it more as being eggshell damage that went into the formation of our greatest gifts, through the understanding of how the hardships were actually the catalysts for their emergence as designers of the new genetic mind. The driving imperative then is to move and breath in new life and full out to our greatest height and breadth. To simply build the fire in the solar heart regardless and pull our focus away from where we have come from, to imagine where we are going. Ho'oponopono and forgiveness have their place in the beginning stages of recovery of the self-loving core, toward transformation toward the Self. But ultimately acceptance of the large and small within means forgiveness is transcended.

It sounds rather obvious...and guys have a different orientation to the problem than females, but the question of going with the evolutionary arrow through prepersonal, personal, impersonal and transpersonal is a question of energy conservation and cultivation. Instead of wasting energy by polarizing in opposition to lower memes and our own shadow, we can “pull ourselves together,” neutralize disharmony, conserve and build our energy by taking an impersonal position. It is not realistic to expect others to always be fair, rational, kind or have the same perspective as us. It helps to defuse the tendency to polarize by putting ourselves in the others shoes and laughing at ourselves. This acts to humanize us out of the self-hate/self-idealization that leads to separation, defense, entropy and weakness. We can then see how we have squandered our divine nature in favor of the entrapment of the conditioned (genetic) mind, entangled in time, space, and the illusions of a disempowered belief system.

Getting real with the human condition is required to gain the humility necessary to master life. Life is what it is. Unpredictable, uncontrollable, finite, light and dark, and ultimately unknowable. Allowing ambiguity and confusion or luscious mystery provides unique flexibility needed for greater clarity to arise through a deeper integration based on real strength, rather than neurotic and facile certainties. Much of the work needed to construct a sovereign culture involves re-parenting ourselves to build a more integrated brain with a more developed prefrontal lobe/heart connection. Our “Compassionate Self Quotient,” or attitude toward ourself, determines how we treat others and how others treat us. An unconditionally loving inner parent is non-punitive and non-abusive and offers us hope, kindness, peripheral vision, bird’s eye advantage, sense of impermanence, equanimity, fairness, freedom from shame, guilt and blame, warm embrace, appreciation, encouragement, inspiration, self-respect, self-intimacy, self-listening, affirmation, plus the motivation and discipline to grow. Compassion cleans our Self-limiting filters and thrusts us into the middle of a vast and vivid life.

“By whatever means we aid compassion and resolve the conflict between it and self-hate, we are enhancing inner peace, but peace is never absolute.” 167, Compassion and Self-hate, Theodore Isaac Rubin


The solution to sovereignty is to stop holding ourselves back.

You can address integral buffoonary if you like, but spiritual materialism...or spirituality used for defense power tactics, status, or sex or whatever...is not an integral problem, its a human problem.
Fact is, ideally in my opinion, people should just shut up about spirituality in general.

Spirituality should be private like going to the toilet.

I told that to a ZPE researcher that wanted to use me as the female socket to his psychic ZPE research from 5312 miles away...not that space matters in superconducting/superluminal technology.

I spent only 1 hour with the love of my life due to spiritual materialism and messianic fantasies so I HATE MODERN SPIRITUALITY AND SPIRITUAL TERMS, IDEAS, FEELINGS AND ASPIRATIONS and I avoid socalled spiritual people cause they are NASTY!!!!

And yet life goes on...My awakening books are not spiritual...you can call em...cultural plumming.
