Strong leaders define character by modeling that character in a way that inspires others to aspire to a greater quality of character themselves, not because they seek to be a model for the standard or seek to be a leader but because they set high ideals for themselves and demonstrate those through their actions in a way that motivates those who fall under their watch to aspire to the same quality because they see, feel and hear the benefit and strength of doing so.
In a world governed by a battleground of competing narratives where the weapon is information, “whole foods” information is the nuclear weapon. What we see is ultra processed junk food.
What defines any size collective be it a small group, a company or a country is the quality of its peoples actions and behaviors.
If you ask me how a group is defined, what crafts the authentic identity of a people, its their quality. Their culture. Their behavior. The degree to which they find harmony with life. Its not ideology or belief even though those things shape behavior, its about identifying the common most impactful benchmark behaviors themselves. Collective identities are not about how the behavior is established through specific ideologies or beliefs which is an endless conversation. So a country’s identity is comprised of the quality of those within it and defined by the most predominant influential behaviors that are demonstrated and that its people aspire to. Thats important to recognize always but especially when a group wants to take on a position and be recognized as a voice of moral authority in the unfolding of the evolution of a civilization. Any group, small or large that cannot demonstrate the highest quality of character as a people as its predominant trait, doesn’t have the credentials to be a leading voice in moral guidance for others, especially if its people don’t convey morally sound or conscious behavior. Because its people, their quality, thats what really defines a group most authentically. Its the only real measure of authenticity. The credibility of a groups voice to be a voice in moral authority is only as credible as the quality of its peoples willingness to walk the walk. You can take advice on your teeth from a dentist who has poor oral hygiene if you want, but hell if Im gonna. No dentist with poor hygiene should expect anyone to take them seriously about advice on how to take care of their teeth no matter what their credentials are. A metaphorical "fill in the blanks".
If you go to the edge of a body of water looking for intel on the conditions and overall status of the water (pool, lake or ocean) and you find that there are people in the water and under the water, and adversely there are people standing on the shore line or sitting on a blanket,,, in that moment if you want to get your intel from the people on the shore so you can figure out what you need to do to prepare yourself for that domain by all means do that. They'll have something to say about the water conditions and its usually going to entail details about whats deterring them from getting into the water (not perfect conditions, don't know how to swim or scared of whats in the water) or what made them jump out, who knows what they'd say, but its likely about whats got them on the bystander blanket looking at everyone swimming. Thats ok and there isn't anything wrong with that but If you want to show up to the water and get your intel from people that haven't been swimming just know its going to be shoddy and inexperienced at best. If you ask the folks in the water you'll here stories of all kinds of experience but mainly they'll say it feels like we're adapted to be in the water and it seems natural that we've used our ingenuity to access parts of the water we couldn't access before. You'll here stories of friendly encounters with intelligent Sea life like dolphins, whales and seals. You'll hear about encounters with predatorial sea life like sharks and giant squid. You'll hear about geo forces at work on the sea bed. What you won't hear from the folks swimming is why they didn't get in the water. We're not alone- Get over it. You can either remain skeptical, freeze in fear or prepare to shoot first and ask questions by acting and reacting through our primitive systems OR you can learn more. The best approach is inclusive and its a combination of all three because we're an all of the above species. We're a child like species that knows how to defend itself from threats we understand and knows how get more information on what we don't understand but what we can observe to be a part of reality; that's us as a species. Thats what we do, and in my opinion learning to laugh at ourselves, while holding our own sovereignty and learning the spectrum of whats accessible as experiential and concrete data points is exactly what we should be doing and exactly the kind of compass point people can find a place in across the maturity spectrum of the civil social fabric. Advanced Intelligence describes an intelligence that has a perceptual optics governed by broader situational awareness and technological advantages compared to your own. In most cases people can look around and figure out where that is in domestic domains. A Childs parent (in most cases) is a more advanced intelligence compared to Johnny Rocket on 3rd street playing on his console all day. The intelligence community is a collective of advanced intelligence if we define advanced intelligence as that which has perceptual optics governed by broader situational awareness and technological advantages. So use of the word advanced intelligence is suggesting just that and only that, perceptual optics governed by elevated technological advantage and broader situational awareness,,,, and it's going to be local relative to the person using the term for the most part. If you're an intelligence operator and YOU FIND YOURSELF observing advanced intelligence you're looking at the water where it meets the shore line. You look to your left and look to your right and talk to the people on the beach.. There are plenty of those folks... They tell you what they see.. Your JOB is get the most comprehensive picture of that domain possible, make comprehensive data sets and gain a distilled perception to relay that where it's wanted and needed. But at some point you'll need to get in the water to do that. Now what do you do next ? Whats your ethics protocol ? I think it might be about time for all of us, all of us meaning the human race, pantheon of Gods and alpha beings, angels, higher realms, lower realms and any other universal civilization that wants to join in the game to come to an agreeable consensus re-engineering or at least clarifying our definition of good and evil.
Our definitions of good and evil have always been at the foundation of perceptual awareness impacting our perception of reality and influencing our decisions to align with collectives, factions, motives and compass bearings in all dimensions of reality. Maybe it's time. Maybe thats what's needed in order to re-establish cohesion. Because irrespective of how cohesive or stable the planet may appear, it is as strong as our ability to base our perceptual optics on sound reasoning in the face of chaos. The human psychological infrastructure if highly vulnerable to all ideas regarding components of the universe it does not understand. Clear agreeable universally accepted definitions of good and evil may well assist in strengthening some of the foundational cornerstones of our social cohesion optics. Currently we find that the reality is that an individuals often establish a perspective of someones intentions based on their perspective of the individuals associations or identity. In example. A physically apt well intentioned Roman Catholic may look at a physically apt well intentioned Pagan and through their limited understanding of the living reality of that individual and conclude to themselves that the Pagan is Evil because he does not submit to the same definition of God so must be heretical. The Pagan may do the same; But put them together in a situation where imminent harm is at stake or where there hearts are tested (as in a response to a natural disaster), where there are potential victims that are about to suffer or who are in danger and neither one of them thinks that anymore and instead sees that they are on the same side willing to work together to take action to preserve the wellbeing of others and in that moment would enter into a perceptually prime reality seeing each others true nature by witnessing the actions and intentions of each other to help resolve the issue and bring resolution. No only would it be witnessed but as "reality" it would be FELT. In that moment they re-establish their definition and understanding of evil and humble themselves to accept the individual as a peer in this universe through a shared FEELING of kinship. Evil is not defined by a collective organized faction any more than good is. It is a WAY OF BEING ONLY; and if that way of being INTENTIONALLY fosters malice, hatred and suffering you have found evil. It is an essence, the antithesis of which is love, compassion and good will.
Even good men fall victim to acting on the seeds and impulses of evil. Even bad men have moments where they seek a right path for themselves. To root out evil first look inside yourself objectively and question your own prejudices, your own malice, your own hatred, your own actions, your own intentions. If you look for an enemy based on ideology you'll find one. If you look for an enemy based on action you'll find many many less. Should the fall be the fate of mankind it will be brought about through the actions of individuals that intentionally and knowingly provoke malice, hatred and suffering and it will be saved by individuals that intentionally and knowingly defend love, compassion and good will. Defending good is defending a way of being alone. There are no organized factions or collectives that are all good or all evil. It's all gray comprised of individuals who act on both poles of impulses. The collective of good and the collective of evil is bound in the primes, in the actions and intentions of individuals not their associations of ideals. In the end no matter what faction or collective you identify with and call home, your true nature is not defined by those collectives (religious identity, family, national identities, political affiliations), its defining lines are more prime. You're either seek to convey good will or you seek to convey malice. In the end your side is defined by the quality of your actions or your desire to improve the quality of those actions. If a line is drawn in the sand the sides will be determined through conduct, intention and action alone. Intolerance, anger, the aggression needed to defend what is right to defend is not evil. It is necessary and in its necessity its important not to take on the characteristics or equal parallel characteristics of that which you seek to defend against. Thinking that you would understand the universal perspective of an individual like Jesus, believing you have established a degree of relatability just because you believe in a Meta source of intelligence, go to church, recite scripture or pray is like someone who likes guns, looks through tactical magazines, plays first person shooter games and enjoys the shooting range thinking their universal perspective is relatable to a combat hardened general.
Worlds apart. There are plenty of "compare and contrast" examples that can be drawn as parallels but that seems fitting for todays social climate. Beware the anti-christian Christians. They're everywhere and they carry impressive influential pedestals of power. Like trying to separate the salt from the sand at the shoreline. When those who seek to control truth or manipulate its essence with polarizing isolated perspectives can no longer control that truth or reinforce it, that truth comes to control its handlers, there thoughts, actions, impulses, potentials, options and decisions; all come to be controlled by that which they once endeavored to control; And therein the reality that the truth ultimately controls all things and sets all things free comes to pass. You cannot control truth, you can only manipulate it until you’ve boxed yourself in and become surrounded by it like a cage.
Then what? The move becomes crystal clear. You confront it. |
If we forgo sound reasoning we might as well just stop trying to make sense altogether.
Much of what is written in this blog reflects a potential of an extreme pole of perceptual awareness within the human experience. - Semper Lux - Archives
