In THEY, You Trust

~ On Frameworks of understanding and trust
Every interaction and relationship we have with another or a group, is structured around a framework. Even the incidental interaction of passing another in the grocery store, contains a framework. One of: politeness, assumed safety, non-invasion of space with an “oh, sorry” if we get a little closer than comfortable and so on. Each party comes to the exchange with expectations and trust which forms that framework which exists within each Oneself. Within our sub-conscious we have a filing cabinet full of multiple framework designs. We call on one design or another with differing relationships and situations. When One sends their littles to school, there is a very defined framework of what is to be expected of the child’s teacher. Or the framework you take with you to the Dentist’s office and then sit in the chair of pain and torture, talk about trust! It is with various levels of trust and expectation that we all agree on that makes a community function. When these frameworks of trust and expectation mesh, that is to say they agree, then we have a relationship where the possibility of benefit to the parties involved, exists. — Without agreements - no community — : full stop. It is when one party is not in agreement to the framework that the house, or skyscraper, will not withstand the load of conflict and crumbles to the ground.
The requirement to trust another, a spouse, a Policeman, an institution, an Authority, or even a dog, is essential to live with some kind of peace in One’s life. There are times when it is not only convenient, but essential, to put One’s trust in one of these “others”. Can you imagine what a life of constant fear and unending danger would be like? One would not be able to go out into the world for fear of physical or mental attack. Imagine if One believed that everyone and everything was trying to take advantage, abuse, or even destroy them and that no ally existed, anywhere! It was just Oneself against EVERYTHING! Sounds pretty bad doesn’t it. So to facilitate this requirement for a varying degree of trust and expectation, we build frameworks of safety in our mind. Perhaps the most necessary and fundamental framework that we assemble, is the one we use for the people near to us, our family, our spouse, our co-workers and neighbours. We choose to trust, that the ones we interact with are not always out to get us and cause harm. The family I grew up in, all the schools I attended, the hockey teams I played on, the concerts I have enjoyed, strangers I met and got to know at conferences; all of these groups or communities shared one common value upon which we built the frameworks to interact and negotiate. That shared and agreed presupposition is — the Golden Rule. Treat others as you expect to be treated.
Mathew 7 verse 12 KJV: Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
When one believes that this understanding is shared and what the others around them are acting within, then one feels pretty safe and can go about their business free of the burden of constant vigilance.
To be clear, the “framework” that I describe here, is a psychic construct. That sounds more complicated than it is. Within our conscious mind, One creates a picture, or feeling, of what it would be like to be with this “other”. The things that One would expect from the “other”, as in, you might expect your spouse to help with doing laundry or house cleaning, but when your neighbour shows up for tea or a beer, you don’t hand over the vacuum or the laundry basket to sort colours. So too with differing levels of trust. At the public swimming pool, you trust that if your child, or anyone for that matter, begins to drown or need help, that the one sitting in the lifeguard chair is not going to phone 911 and watch to see what happens, but dive in and rescue, willingly, with competence, and without hesitation. I hardly think that expectation would carry over to the 91 year old Great Grandpa who has brought his “greats” to swim and is sitting in the bleachers, but you might trust him, a stranger, to hold your infant as you rush to the pool deck to aid your half-drowned child. The different types of frameworks, once constructed, are used as a guideline, or general limitation, and are then filled in with each specific relationship. The framework that is “teacher of my child” is then detailed more specifically with each teacher and type of class your child interacts with. The math teacher, vis-`a-vis, the personal math tutor who after school sits alone, one on one with your child, creates a little bit more specific framework, maybe one with an addition off the back to include the kind of trust One puts into a more “intimate” kind of potential jeopardy.
~ On Innocence transposed
And deeper yet. In Human Psychology it has been observed that infants have a rather extreme version of this pre-built framework of trust and expectation. An infant requires safety and care, without it she will die. The question, “who is going to be the one(s) who feeds and cares for me?” must be answered and the position filled. This critical requisite function and the framework that the infant acts within, sets up a demand whereby the infant will sacrifice elements of itself to secure this care and safety. When an infant is put in harms way by those caring for her, as in experiencing some kind of lack or abuse, she will turn the error, the reason for the shortcoming upon herself. In other words: Mom does not play with nor pay enough attention to infant, infant is in need, lonely, unstimulated, left wanting; the infant then distorts her view, where it is herself that is imperfect, the cause of the deficiency, NOT Mom! Why does this happen, the shifting of the fault? As the infant is utterly dependent on the primary adults in her life, for safety and care, they must be viewed, by the infant, as perfect and without shortcoming. This has to do with bonding; the parent, primary adult(s), are bonded to, by the infant, for the long term survival and future family structure. When the parent also bonds, through attunement, we have matched meshing frameworks, wherein growth, development, and maturation, can occur; not only for the infant, but the parent and eventually the family. This is where proper forms of attachment occur, or not, depending on the case.
A couple of things have come up here in this discussion, which I did not foresee, “bonding” and “trust”, and how these go together, and are absolutely essential in several idioms (future consideration; ie: Bonds and Trusts).
So when an infant grows up, blaming its - self for the “sins of the father”, so to speak, the blame and responsibility have been inverted. What “THEY” seem to play on, not the parents, adults, or infants, but the THEY who are running the scam of “Inversion by and through Conversion” (see my last post), is this notion of the human, if infantile, need for the Authority (parent) in One’s life to be perfect and without fault. THEY rely upon the need of each such an One, to choose to see the Authority as: fair, considerate, correct, superior, and trustworthy even without any evidence to support such a choice. And, I would argue, go so far as to invert any blame once again. If there is a problem with such Authority, then it must be myself who is in err. The Authority that holds and cares for all of your money, BANK, the Authority that arbitrates and ensures safety and fairness, COURT, the policy enforcers that keep the streets safe and criminal free, POLICE, and worst of all, the Ones that claim to lead with the interests of the people, holding their Citizens at the fore, GOVERNMENT! To choose to not see the betrayal and lies that Authorities administer, and then to juggle One’s reason into some kind of cognitive dissonance that I or we, the people are the ones that have got it wrong! That kind of mental gymnastics leaves a whole society exhausted and unable to reason and rationalize the facts, and stand with the uncomfortable truth. These Authorities are all too often given a free pass, that, THEY will look after our best interests, without scrutiny or consideration by us, the people. Rest assured, each of these, and pretty much EVERY other institution, has been captured and inverted, hence, Upside - Down World.
The creation and tradition of the ideal of a “Trust Based Society”, is touted as the biggest reason for the advancement of recent Western cultures. Business and interaction that can stand on that “golden rule” and begin at the safe point of, I am here to build, not destroy: you, your family, your community, or your society, is of great advantage in the lifting up of, and for the expansion of possibility, comfort, and fortune.
~ On, the Obverse
And along comes the psychopath.
Many articles and books have been written on the phenomena that is
The Rise of the Psychopath in the Corporate World. The current structure of virtually all institutions gives the Psychopath the advantage in climbing to the top of the corporate food chain. Government, Medicine, Church, Pharma, the energy sector, etc. are all ruled at the top by this elite club of “Big Dogs” in the dog eat dog order. It is no mistake: why, how, and who constructed the Corporate world to reward this type of “leader”. In a meritocracy, it is the one who is able to show by their achievements and proven capacity, who will be rewarded. No boasting, flowery language, nice haircuts and soft tones will bring advancement and respect; cold hard truth and proof of performance brings about the new upgraded office and company car. In the current corporate formations, the most ruthless, manipulative, brown-nosing, cheater and liar sits atop the corporate pyramid, ruthless being the most important characteristic. By the time these psychopaths have made it this far, they are expert at using the peon’s infantile need for the Authorities to lead, direct, and constrain One’s thoughts and deeds. Our frankly immature nature no longer serves us in these cases. To - go along to get along - is the sublimation of the self to the force of that constraint. This nature serves when all players have the same rule book out on the court (Game-Makers and Courts) and all of the players and the referees/judges follow the commonly understood Golden-Rule! If I can count on and trust that another is treating ME the way HE wishes to be treated, then WE are, and will be, golden.
~ On, These People
These people! The Psychopaths that is. The Psychopath relies on our social graces to keep us in confusion and naive blissful torture. While he is dishing out lies, manipulation, and cutting One to ribbons, One who acts “in trust” is left wondering, how, with all of their talent, skills, hard-work, knowledge, and dedication, “I did not get the …”: promotion, benefit, job, make the team, etc. When One looks a little further into the good book, another of the morsels of societal guidelines appears: “turn the other cheek”.
Mathew 5 verse 39 KJV: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
To put a spin on the common misapprehension on the familiar interpretation on this verse, and “rule to live by”, let us consider a few things. There is an extensive discussion regarding the right and left cheek and being struck by the left and then right hand, and the significance of “left and right”, dig into that if you wish. What I see here is the power of the one being struck. This is the opposite of, what is commonly seen as, an act of submission. “If you, the violator, the striker, believe that you have just cause in striking me on the cheek, then, I as the accused/violated, will challenge and confirm that your position and action was not a mistake or done in error. I will step forward, lean in, and ask again, what was your indictment of my deserving to be struck/violated”. Truth does not need to defend itself, to convince, it only need stand, throughout the storm and controversy. It will remain. The lies and falsehoods will be revealed and the cover of deception will be eroded away with the rot and stink of decomposition as it breaks down, fails, and the truth abides.
1 Thessalonians 5 verse 15 KJV: See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
If One was to not follow the golden rule, and act out of vengeance or spite, then One would be saying, treat me vindictively and spitefully. That is why the command is to each such an One, that “One” acts in the way in which they wish to be treated. And so, In Thessalonians as Paul writes, do not return evil with evil, but follow that which is good. So what is “good” for yourself and all men? There’s that “T” word again — TRUTH! A Psychopath is a Psychopath is a Psychopath! Ruthlessness is Ruthlessness is Ruthlessness; and so on. The truth hurts. It is not “good” for yourself and all men, if lies, cheating, and ruthlessness are left unchecked, ignored, allowed, adhered to, believed, and worse - silently obeyed. That is not what the golden rule, turning the other cheek, nor any other lesson that the good book brings, or tells us to do. To calmly do as the evil One demands, suggests, connives, or tricks One into doing… is a betrayal of One’s self, One’s spirit, and duty to stand in faith with God.
So, “These People”, the “THEY”, the Ones running the inversion campaign, can no longer be let to continue. The only way that their scheme continues, is by each such an One, volunteering, saying yes, by not saying NO, going along to get along and submitting themselves, perhaps unwittingly, to a master of lies.
I am not composing a Bible study here. The truths extracted from the verses quoted are not peculiar to this book. They are also expressions of “Natural Law”. I have been taught much about natural law by the best teacher there is - nature. The horses, dogs, cows, trees, waterways, FIRE, the best one being dogs, have taught me so much about how things work and how they will come to a balance, left to their own devices. That balance reflects the inherent truths from the passages above. If One games out the golden rule, turning the other cheek (in what I believe to be a more correct interpretation), and the not answering evil with evil but with righteousness, the ends that are met are the same as what nature would resolve.
~ An example, In “God”, we Trust
The design of the current monetary system is by its very nature a fraud. If one digs at all into how money is created, check out the simple video MONEY as DEBT:The Truth about Money, it becomes clear that there is a ”someone” at the top, who is controlling the money supply through policy and manipulation. That is why inflation continues, and has been ongoing, at least back to 1930 and I expect before. It takes the same amount of gold to purchase a hand made quality men’s suit, belt, shoes, and shirt today as it did in 1920. If Great Great Grandpa, had put that amount of money away for you all those years ago, and it sat in a Bank untouched, and you showed up at the tailors today, with it in hand, I think you would be lucky to get a pair of socks. The energy expended, the work your G,G,Grandpa did to make that money was real. Over time, the value, the stored energy, was siphoned off by the monetary policy and manipulation that is inflation. Inflation is theft. So what does “God” have to do with money, at least US currency anyway? And what does trusting God have to do with that currency?
Depicted on the back of the US $1 bill there are so many questions and issues that many have taken apart and questioned. I will posit that along side the “IN GOD WE TRUST”, we find “ANNUIT COEPTIS” arching over the all seeing eye and a hovering pyramid. Of course, all symbolism. Annuit Coeptis means: He/She approves of or favours our undertakings. Below that appears “NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM”, translated as, New Order of the Ages. There does not seem to be a clear reason and definition for all of this symbology. With what is now known about the conversion, inversion, and capture of the institutions listed above, primarily through bankruptcy (future post), and that this action has been a long slow burn, a few questions that I will posit are as follows:
which “GOD” is being referred to
if One was a Satanist, would they Capitalize their god’s name
is MONEY - GOD, converted and inverted
positive = energy/creation vs. negative = debt/sin — inversion
who or whom is approving of what and who’s undertakings, who is “our”
undertakers = handlers of the dead, corp(se), corporate fiction
currently, who or what backs the money, what is the value upon which the money stands (in this author’s opinion, it is not Oneself, or the people, that back the value of the money as is touted, but that it is the value of One’s labour and production converted and inverted with the creation of, and attachment to, the ALL CAPS CORP(se), STOP IT!!!)
what ages are we a new order of
when does the “new age” begin
what is the “order”
as Money is created as debt, to whom is the debt owed
how is it that, the storehouse of Ones creative effort or expended energy, is converted into and held as a “debt instrument”, where did the value go??
If One believes that, at the time that “The Great Seal” (the words and imagery that appears on the back of the US dollar) was composed, the intentions and foundations of the newly budding United States were of goodness and truth, and opposed to the then status quo of corrupt Kings and Monarchies, then perhaps all this Latin, language, and symbol analysis stuff is moot. Or, … ??
~ On, standing under
Another word in the wordplay(s) I have described in previous posts, is the one that is so essential to this topic at hand: understanding. Commonly interchanged with and deemed to mean the same as comprehension; to understand = to comprehend. When One comprehends what another is saying, or what One is reading, it means “To take in the meaning, nature, or importance of; grasp.” Which under - standing can also mean. Both words can basically be summed up with “knowing” something. However, understanding also means: to stand under, to hold up (uphold), to support a view or belief to be true, or even where One accepts culpability and liability. To comprehend does not incur quite the same weight or responsibility (another post perhaps).
~ Natural law, and dogs
I have had several dogs over the years, and one of many things that they have taught me, is that One is always training the other. Now who is doing the training and who is being trained may flip flop a little over the course of negotiating a new relationship to a newly acquired fur ball. Whether it is intentional or not, someone is being trained. I never thought of it until just now that perhaps the little puppy does work from what I described the infant above to be doing: if something is wrong, it must be my fault. As I think about it, it may be the reason a dog is trainable at all. When teaching a dog to sit, and it does anything other than sit, we, the trainer, do not reward, but perhaps scold, persist, or whatever method One employs. It has to be the willingness of the puppy to presume that it is wrong that keeps it trying to succeed and get it right. They keep trying different things until they find that when they go from standing to putting only their hind end on the floor, praise or reward occurs, concurrently with a specific sound - sit! - good boy! It is this willingness to put the trainers needs or wants ahead of One’s own that creates the possibility of trainability.
So which one are you? There are times when we must assume that we have it wrong and continue to try different things to get it right, or at least what makes the other, say - good boy! This comes back to the framework point and what the expectations are in the relationship. We define, by each framework what position we are in, trainer, trained, partner, leader, follower, etc. When our position is inverted, particularly with One not recognizing that little detail, we’ve got a problem, that is how owners of dogs get bitten by their own dog.
At this point, it seems apropo to ask the reader, what position are you in? Are you an infant, needing everything and everyone around you to be, or at least appear, perfect and in order? Are you a Citizen, a member of an organization where you are at the bottom, with leaders and Authorities to tell you when and how high to jump? Are you a Taxpayer, again, a member or employee of a privately owned Corporation where you have an obligation to perform; as you have agreed to a contract? Are you a child of the creator, God, mother nature, supreme life-force, or the Universe? Who is the boss of Oneself, who holds that position? It is time to grow up and put our big girl panties on (a favourite phrase of a housecleaner I once knew)! Be a real man/woman. Act in whatever capacity you choose, just do it with intention, responsibility, and knowledge.
Have it good,
Arlen
