Freedom/Politics

[Jayne Evans ae]

But the corporate controlled USA government is a dictorship of sorts. The
power is certainly centralized. Would be nice to thin it WAS subject to
overthrow though.
A democracy is only as good as the people and only 29% of USA citizens
vote in presidential elections.

Dictatorship is more risky, because power is too centralized and therefore
too subject to "whim", overthrow, etc. I think that (disseminated power
base) is a real strength of democracy -- if the Constitution and Bill of
Rights were being honored; and maybe some further helps needed of some
sort....

dictatorships are not necessarily easy to overthrow. they effect great control of their
citizenry. look at saddam-- he was in power over 20 years i believe. it seems that
democracies are in a much weaker state if they are truly more open. what is most
important is that people stay vigilant and not become complacent and this country has
been bought into complacency. the corollary of the picture is that people have been
rendered powerless--or that is how they feel. individualism has become so exaggerated
that people no longer feel any sense of community with power and in isolation they
cannot feel strength. that is why demonstrations are so important. there is nothing like
being part of several hundred thousand folks all marching and chanting together to get
you blood going and your spirits rising. no wonder demonstations against power are not
covered by the media. the impact is infectious and powerful.

scott ritter spoke about a month ago on NPR and his ultimate message was that bush is
beatable if people get their acts together--and that includes the democrats. he was
castigating them for not hitting hard where it hurts; ie the lies and corruption of the bush
administration. tariq ali, a pakistani poet who lives in london now, also was featured and
the bottom line of his message was that iraq will not be conquered because of the will of
the people. he spoke strongly about this country saying that opposition has to grow
loud and large--that is what is necessary to create a change.

I completely agree, we are not much of a "democracy" at the moment, with
worse apparently in the works.

Some of the non-voting is simply because there is no acceptable candidate,
and no evident basis for preferring one over the other. It's not
necessarily due to apathy. (Tho sometimes is, of course.)

there is no massive demand from the public for anything other than what is given
and people do not understand that even voting for the lesser of the evils is better
than letting the evil win. last election, there was no outcry from the public over such
illegal tactics. the democrats abandonned 50-90,000 african-american voters who
were prevented from voting because it was felt they would vote democratic. and
where is the outrage over the illegal voting machines. they have been getting used for several
years and have proven effective in denying the public majority in any of many elections, especially
in the south.

Dear Friends,

On the face of it, this thread does not seem to relate strongly to
homeopathy but the solution to the dilemma being discussed may require a
different mode of human interaction which is modelled by homeopathy.

Many of the problems that we deal with in the world can be traced to the
structures that we have created and empowered to act on our behalf. We
create these structures, empower them and then they take on a life of their
own. The structures we created become our masters instead of our servants
as we originally intended. This pattern has been known for a very long time.

Lao Tzu wrote:
When people lost sight of the way to live
Came codes of love and honesty,
Learning came, charity came,
Hypocrisy took charge;
When differences weakened family ties
Came benevolent fathers and dutiful sons;
And when lands were disrupted and misgoverned
Came ministers commended as loyal.

When we loose confidence in our ability to manifest what we need, we build
structures to provide for these needs. These structures can be buildings or
they can be institutions like corporations, governments or religions. Out
of our fear we build these structures so that they will endure without
change to provide that which we no longer believe we can provide for ourselves.

One of the primary characteristics of life is change. Structure is created
to resist change. When we think of changing structure we often think in
terms of creating new structures to change the old. This often results in
two structures battling for control with living things being the losers.

We saw this when a constitutional structure was created to overcome royal
and religious structures. Now we are seeing corporate structures working to
take over the constitutional structure. All of these structures ended up
being suppressive.

At a certain point, many of the social and economic structures we have
built take on a sort of life of their own. They seek to perpetuate
themselves by cornering the market on certain of our needs. When these
structures get very large and powerful a few of them may try to totally
control our access to food, energy, health care, shelter, clothing or free
choice.

Structure typically uses certain tactics to gain and maintain control.
Limitation and control of necessary resources is one of these tactics. By
controlling necessities for life, structure can gain control over us. Thus
if a structure controls our access to food, energy, health care, shelter,
clothing or free choice that structure can effectively control us. On the
other hand, the more we are in control of our own source of supply in these
areas the less power we will be giving to structure.

Some scientific and religious structures would prefer to have us believe
that the nature of God, the universe and everything is essentially
structured and changeless. The structure of science tells us that immutable
physical laws control our lives and that scientific structure is necessary
to bring us the benefits of food, health and energy. The structure of
religion tells us that we must believe only in one version of one book and
that the religious structure (church) must mediate any connection we might
want to develop with God, the universe and everything. Both structures
foster these beliefs in order to obtain and maintain control.

Corporate structures tend to try to control us (their "consumers") by
threatening to take away those things which they provide and which they
have taught us that we cannot provide for ourselves. Structures use fear as
their greatest ally.

As corporate, governmental and religious structures grow very large and
powerful they tend to loose track of the other needs of the people they
were built to serve. They also tend to maximize short term "profit" by
"mining" resources without consideration of sustainability. Supply lines
tend to get longer, more interdependent and more fragile.

Our food supply capability is a good example of this. The small, local,
family farm has given way to large, distant corporate farms. These large
farms are much more dependent on petroleum for running equipment and for
shipping food to the distant consumer. As nearby petroleum is "mined" out,
the supply lines for it grow longer and more difficult to support and
defend. The large corporate farms also become more and more dependent on
chemical poisons and fertilizers to maintain production levels because they
have depleted ("mined") the mineral productivity of the soil.

As nearby soil is depleted we must go further and further to find
productive land. This same scenario has been repeated over and over by
every city-based civilization in the past. At some point the supply lines
and profit margins are stretched so thin that the smallest disruption can
bring the entire structure to the ground. We saw something like this happen
with the airline industry after 9-11.

Structure is not alive and can become hostile to life. All of the world's
great spiritual teachers have opposed existing structures and suggested
ways to change them. They say that we do not need to believe that we are
dependent on structures to supply our needs. We should not serve structure;
structure should serve us.

So, if building new structures is not the best way to bring about change in
old structures what are some good ways?

The best way is to connect directly with "God, the universe and
everything". Spiritual folks call this connection LOVE, scientists call it
quantum coherence or quantum non-locality. Regardless of what it is called
the process involves improving our connection to All That Is.

The homeopathic model is a wholistic model wherein a pinch of yeast can
leaven the whole loaf. This model postulates that a very small portion of
the whole is capable of changing the whole through some sort of mysterious
connection. It is inherently empowering for the individual.

Homeopathy works through imparting information or resonance to water. In a
previous post I described a mechanism whereby thought also might influence
the shape of water molecules through the agency of quantum resonant ORMUS
units inside the icosahedral water molecule structure. You can read a more
developed description of this hypothesis at:

http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/tw/resonance.htm

Since all biological life on earth has water as a major component and since
water is also a major component of the surface of the earth and of the
earth's atmosphere we can postulate that our thoughts influence all of
these things. Furthermore, I suspect that the same sympathetic resonance
physics, at work with water, also works with many other substances. This
might mean that our thoughts can influence the entire earth and all live on it.

There has been discussion on this forum of some of the ways in which doom
might come to us. Thoughts of doom have a resonance too. I believe that in
the same way that homeopathic resonances can change our bodies, our
thoughts go out into the world and change everything.

Previously I suggested that the ORMUS elements in water appear to be the
communication medium for homeopathic resonances. In a similar way, they may
also be a universal communication medium.

As a communication medium, one or more of the ORMUS elements appear to work
like the air, in that the air will carry any sound you can utter. The air
does not care whether the message is one of love or of condemnation; it
will carry both equally. On the other hand, communication itself is
generally better than non-communication.

This means that it will facilitate the manifestation of intent whether that
intent is loving or not.

Imagine that you have two bells at your house. One is made of loving
intent (what you want) and the other is made of the fear based emotions
like anger, judgment, fear or hatred (what you don't want). These bells are
dinner bells. The love bell calls in the angels to support you but the fear
bell calls in your demons.

Both of these bells depend on the air to carry their message. ORMUS is like
the air in this way. If you ring the love bell it will call in everything
which resonates with what you want--like love, abundance, health and
connectedness. If you ring the fear bell it will call in those things that
resonate with what you don't want--things like fear, pain, justification
for anger, unhappiness and lack. This is very much like a homeopathic
effect except on a more global scale.

Each generation has its own way to describe the law of karma. One
generation will say "he who lives by the sword will die by the sword"
another generation will say "what goes around comes around" and yet another
generation will say "you get what you pay for". This common folk wisdom is
our way of acknowledging our personal responsibility for our individual and
collective reality.

Even when we ring the fear bell we are expressing a basic good intent in
that we know in our hearts that the results of ringing that bell include
suffering. If we can look at our suffering we can often look back at how we
called that suffering to dinner when we rang the fear bell. This
looking-back process is easier if the suffering is more closely linked in
time with ringing the fear bell. (John Lennon called this "instant karma".)

If you are to hear the resonance of a bell there must be air to carry the
sound. If you ring a bell on the highest mountain where the air is thin it
takes longer for the sound to travel to your ear than if you ring the bell
at the ocean where the air is thick. You will hear the train coming with
your ear to the dense, iron train track long before you will hear it
through the air.

Imagine that it is possible to have infinitely thick air. The sound of a
bell would travel instantaneously and everywhere this infinitely thick air
existed. I believe that the ORMUS elements provide this sort of infinitely
thick communication medium for our thoughts and intentions.

Modern physicists and other scientists have observed something like this
kind of instantaneous communication. They have even coined terms to
describe it. They call it "quantum coherence" or "non-local interaction".

Many modern scientists have also suggested that this instantaneous
communication occurs in a "place" which underlies physical reality. The
physicist David Bohm called this "place" the "implicate order" and he
called our physical reality the "explicate order". The biologist Rupert
Sheldrake calls this "place" the "morphogenic field". Lynne McTaggart has
written a book that collects much of the scientific research on this
"place" of instantaneous communication. She calls this place "The Field"
and that is the name of her book. (You can read my review of this book at:

http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/tw/review.htm )

To bring the ideas of modern physicists further into our analogy: modern
physicists often speak of the field, which underlies physical reality, as a
"plenum". This is like the plenum, which connects the ducts under the floor
that bring warm or cold air to every room of a building. We can often put
our ear down to a duct and hear conversations in other rooms of the
building. In a similar way the non-physical plenum, which underlies
physical reality, is believed to carry information instantaneously and
without being limited by distance.

In 1924 Albert Einstein, building on the work of Satyendra Nath Bose,
predicted that it should be possible for two or more atoms to get into the
same quantum state and their wavelengths would become superimposed on one
another. This state of matter is referred to as a "Bose-Einstein
Condensate" or BEC. It took a long time but a BEC was finally created in a
laboratory in 1995 by taking a small group of atoms to a millionth of a
degree above absolute zero. This deed got the 2001 Nobel Prize for the
physicists who did it.

A Bose-Einstein Condensate composed of many atoms would, in effect, be an
infinitely dense substance. We believe that the ORMUS elements can become
room temperature BECs. If this is true then they might form the basis for
an instantaneous, non-local communication system like the mystical
connection that sages of all ages have described and the mysterious
connection of homeopathy.

I like to use the Internet as an analogy for such a communication system.
Your physical body would be like an individual computer that connects to
all of the information on the Internet through a modem. In this analogy,
the ORMUS elements would be the connector (the modem) that allows you to
access the information of the "Innernet" (or The Field, or plenum, or
implicate order, or Unified Field of Being). While the basic modem
connection is adequate for email and a bit of web browsing, most people
would like to have the faster connection that broadband cable or DSL
provides. This is true information abundance, an almost instantaneous way
to bring sound and images to your computer.

We think that the ORMUS elements may need to reach a certain concentration
in the body before they make the quantum leap into true conscious, coherent
communication with the Innernet. Using ORMUS can help here but this
coherence is also a function of something the ancient sages called "one
pointed awareness". Another way to put it is:

"If two make peace with each other in this one house, they shall say to the
mountain: "Be moved", and it shall be moved."

If we alternate between ringing the "love" bell and ringing the "fear" bell
we create interference patterns in the air. In much the same way the
interference patterns of these two feelings may tend to prevent the ORMUS
elements from getting into a coherent BEC state.

It is like we always have the modem for the basic Innernet connection,
which sustains life, but we are seeking a better connection which requires
a synergy between the new hardware (broadband or DSL) and our own software.
If we use ORMUS without learning how to focus our feelings on love then we
will mostly succeed in bringing on instant karma.

Though the law of karma is a learning tool too, the law of grace is
probably a less painful way to learn. We come more and more under the law
of grace as we acknowledge that we called in each unpleasant feature of our
life by ringing the fear bell. When we accept this responsibility for all
that happens in our lives we begin to see the many ways in which we ring
the fear bell. As this happens structure has less and less power over us.

The law of grace kicks in when we start actively appreciating each
difficulty as a way to learn of its cause within ourselves and as we extend
our hand in love to others as an example of the healing power of the
connection of love.

These kinds of thoughts and actions are mostly outside of the realm that
structure can see. As these magical connections start to work more and more
in our lives we find ourselves being in the right place at the right time
more and more often. This can bring magical change which seems to come from
everywhere at once. An ancient sage described it thus:

Barefooted and naked of breast, I mingle with
the people of the world.
My clothes are ragged and dust-laden, and
I am ever blissful.
I use no magic to extend my life;
Now, before me, the dead trees become alive.

Comment: Inside my gate, a thousand sages do not
know me. The beauty of my garden is invisible.
Why should one search for the footprints of the
patriarchs? I go to the market place with my wine
bottle and return home with my staff. I visit the
wineshop and the market, and everyone I look
upon becomes enlightened.

Physical pain is just an extension of emotion. It's all the same thing.
There are two emotions. One feels good and one feels bad.
Which means, you're connected to your Energy Stream or you're not allowing
your Energy Stream.
