Conspiracies

I am sitting here, eating frozen blueberries out of an autumn leaf jewel tea custard cup trying to remember what it was I wanted to write about on the way home from work tonight. Oh, it just came to me... conspiracies. Our parents instilled in us a healthy Celtic sense of idealizing clairvoyance without calling it that. Combined with Quakerly meditative awareness on a more spiritual plain, the two leave a person in a state of psychic awareness that most in the surrounding environment don't have a perception of.
In a highly intelligent mind, this psychic awareness easily can lead to paranoia, to the extent of suspecting conspiracies in every corner. Conspiracies can be conscious, or subconscious on the part of their makers. They can even be somewhere in between.

I am of the belief that they don't exist on the conscious level as often as we think they do. As a result, the conspiracy can easily be disrupted without much ado. Such "conspiracies" are more properly called by Walter Wink's created entity, "the Powers that Be." If those powers are on a constructive path, there is no need to disrupt them. If those powers are on a corrupted path, they can be fixed, or disassembled and reassembled altogether. If one is going to do such a thing, it is best to bring it all to a conscious level on the part of everyone, and make clear why one thinks it is corrupted, and how one intends to fix it. This alleviates paranoia on everyone's
part.

Back to the psychic awareness/clairvoyance part...some people are of the opinion that this is not "real." I think that is psychic gifts are so abused. If one habitually puts one's self into a transe-like state in which items of importance are permitted to come forth in a safe manner, so that one see's whole pictures and whole Truths more clearly, the person doing so is bound to be aware of Truths that others are not aware of. To live in a responsible manner, a person needs to act on these Truths in a responsible way. One usually finds there are others who have come to discover the same Truths, and it is usually good to affirm them by sharing them.

Going to that plain requires submission of one's spirit. Few people are knowledgeable about how this works. Quakers know, and submit themselves to Christ. That way, it is all "safe." To open one's self to the spirits of their ancestors, all alone, might be quite another matter. Buddhists meditate, and so do yogi's. It is usually in these states when we "see" what is really going on.

So, in a sense, I don't think there is a such thing as a fully conscious conspiracy, usually.What we perceive as conspiracy is usually collective action based on collective fear. In such a corrupt conspiracy - the War on Terror for example - the collective fear needs to be addressed with education. The enemy needs to be redefined for the vague entity it really is - NOT Saddam Hussein, and NOT Osama bin Laden. To confront such a corrupted conspiracy is difficult, however, when it is a self-organized machine, elusive of all who are cogs within it - a machine that propogates its images that keep the machine running with such corrupt things as greed, money, fear and glutton for violence.
A constant, good fresh rain will eventually rust such a machine. It may take a long time. I have hope, and I can provide some of the rain.
