Blog#2: Identity
Part One
Personal identity. The tags, labels, and badges that we wear. "This is me. This is who I am. This is what I like. What I believe. What I stand for." In the end, they all need to go in the bin...
'Identity' is a bit of a complex topic, it seems to me. On one level, it's vital: it provides a degree of personal knowing, of helping to locate our place in a hugely complex world. It's like a marker, or an anchor, a grounding. It is also this sense of identity, related to feelings of personal security and insecurity, which is negatively played and distorted by the pushers of 'political correctness'.
In the case of 'gender identity', the aim is to confuse the individual. Eventually, gender distinctions can be removed from the equation altogether. The profusion of gender choices nowadays available (half a million last time I looked) acts to spread doubt and confusion in the minds of young people; it is a step towards ushering in the transhuman, asexual, non-human being.
There is also a spiritual/metaphysical aim here. Removing gender identity, specifically the male/female duality, is intended to collapse the basis of what are sometimes called emanation theories. These strive to ignite the experience of 'God', 'Source', 'Buddha mind', whatever, through experience of 'sacred polarities'. 'Two', the divine syzygy as Jung calls it, is a direct expression of, and pathway towards, 'One'. Oneness is seen in the manifest world through archetypal dualism.
This is a prime route in mystical and tantric traditions, and a way out of stupefying ignorance. So the intention is to cut off one pathway towards connection with Source, the One. Render humans devoid of any chance for higher, spiritual experience whatsoever.
That's gender politics. Through 'identity politics' more generally, political correctness engenders division and strife among the human population. It encourages a human to identify closely and exclusively with increasingly narrower categories; anybody outside that category will become different, other, enemy. In this way, eternal discord is generated. All in the name of 'equality'!
It is only when we are confident in our personal identity, in who we are (which does not require labelling, by the way) as unique yet connected individuals, that we can throw identity in the trash can. We ne longer need this stuff; it simply serves to limit.
Part Two
For me, identity came into full focus around the topic of 'Buddhist'. For years I was more than happy to be 'Buddhist'. Buddhism introduced many things into my life which I had craved: practical 'consciousness' things to do, especially meditation; a healthy framework for everyday living; great friends and acquaintances. It was my passport to freedom.
Slowly, however, the sun went down, and a new dawn brought fresh insights. What once was liberating now appeared limiting. I felt as if I had grown up - somewhat - and, paradoxically, that to fly through the sky untrammelled like the Tibetan Tantric dakini ('sky walker' as sometimes translated) I needed to renounce 'Buddhist' altogether.
No tags, no labels. I needed the mental freedom to wake in the morning to all and any possibility. To feel free to go train for priesthood in the Catholic Church; to become secretary of the Nicola Sturgeon fan club (neither of which has come to pass.....).
In fairness, the context within which I practiced as a Buddhist provided a good deal of leeway, and was relatively free of dogmas, rules, regulations. But it was not enough.
'Personal identity' is simply an idea, a thought, a belief, you have about yourself. A constant ego self-reflection. Apart from being a mental construct, it holds no reality. Neil Kramer who, at one time, was something of a teacher and mentor, explained how we need very few beliefs in order to function as human beings, and encouraged people to experiment with letting go of beliefs, seeing how it went. No need to knee-jerk decide whether you agreed or disagreed with any new idea that comes your way; no need to incorporate it into the image of 'who I am', or reject it. Just drop it into your shamanic shoulder bag, light as a feather, and see what transpires. No worry, no hurry.
Part Three
Some aspects of identity are conscious, and obvious. The most fundamental ones, however, will be those which the human is completely oblivious to. They are so much part and parcel of who you are, that you don't even know they are there. Unconscious assumptions about yourself. And so we arrive at 'the current situation'.......
It was all very bizarre. Things kicked off in early spring 2021. All of a sudden, going for an innocent little walk turned into an intermittently grotesque act. As I approached, many people would veer away violently. They would do anything to avoid me: jump into a hedge; into the street without looking; risk falling into the canal. It was beyond my comprehension. Where I live, the air streams down from the hills, or in from across the seawater, fresh, clean, pure (aside from anything released through chemtrails or similar). And me: I was in great health. No nasty germs issuing from my lungs. What had happened?
I found it curious in the extreme - and curiosity is a prime catalyst for developing awareness. The great majority of humans were caught (and continue to be so) by the vai-russ story hook, line, and sinker. A smaller number looked sceptical, but went along with it regardless. While another smaller number didn't buy it at all. I didn't get it. This was not a case of mere difference of views and opinions. It was as if fundamental perceptions differed. During early summer I caught David Icke saying "If you could experience what is going on in many people's minds, you would be really shocked." He was understating. You wouldn't recognise it as the same species....
The covid fear-and-submission programme had worked a treat on billions of humans. But on some - me included - it had failed. Completely. It was as if we were immune to its influence. As if the programme just hadn't taken. We had a special firewall, or were simply wired a bit differently.
Come midsummer, come the mask mandate. This is what really did it for me. There was no way I was going to put on a face mask to buy a bag of carrots. No way. I had all the rational evidence, explaining what a silly and pointless idea it was. But something more visceral was at work. If I asked myself about the face masks, the same answer would always come back:"We don't wear face masks where I come from."
"We don't wear face masks where I come from." A simple, unqualified statement. There is the constant temptation to psychologise whatever doesn't fit into our ready-made box of how things work; with my knowledge of Jung and archetypal psychology, I can do it pretty well. However, I am less ready to make this move nowadays. Why psychologise something just because it seems weird? What kind of prejudice is that? Why not just take it at face value, quite literally?
'Consciousness is everything'. I've known this for decades, to an extent, on and off. In recent times this has become much more of an uninterrupted felt experience. 'Consciousness', note. Not 'my consciousness'. Not 'human consciousness.' Just 'consciousness.'
'Me', 'my' consciousness is simply the experience acquired through bringing to bear a fixed point of attention onto the indescribable infinity of consciousness. Long words, but that's all it is. An identity that's provisional, maybe useful at times, but devoid of any innate existence.
And human consciousness? 'Being human'? Well, it comes with assumptions. That we are all one and the same. Homo homogeneisis.
Not everybody sees things that way, I have discovered. This 'single species' lark is an illusion, so they say. We all turn out in the same kind of body, but it's more like a uniform that we put on, a 'bio-suit'. Humanity is similar to a Mozart opera of disguises. 'We' are actually many different races, from different places and densities. Each has its own distinct way of looking at things, which is one reason for the divisions and mess that humanity finds itself in.
In addition to these many galactic races, many 'humans' are not properly human at all. They are merely programmes, totally matrix; 'backdrop people' as I believe Dolores Cannon describes them. They have no originality, nothing individual to them, no soul. They can sometime be recognised by their total incomprehension of any ideas outside the programmed box they have been presented with.
As if that isn't enough of a confusing recipe, there are also those souls who have turned up here with the specific mission to help humans to improve the mess, their lot on Earth. These are the Starseeds, some of whom have also incarnated here simply for the experience, to witness and learn from low density, intense polarity, materially-based existence.
I don't watch BBC nowadays, but I don't think they have programmes about this sort of stuff. It's a different take on things, and a stretch of the imagination for me, even. But, holding the idea in my mind, I found things all beginning to make more sense.
Put it in the shamanic bag, see what transpires.......
