“To Be Truly Radical Is To Make Hope Possible, Rather Than Despair Convincing.” [Raymond Williams]
Uploaded and passed along thru many channels. [http://youtu.be/0DF_xKAO8aM] Re-post it if you so desire.
We are really getting the hit-hard energies now. “Here we go” doesn’t seem to scratch the surface of what it feels like to this blogger. I can barely handle waking up in the morning at this point.
I will post more as things calm down (some what) for me.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with a good healthy dose of skepticism, especially in today’s world of information-overkill and fear laden main stream media propaganda. Having “higher-discernment” is a must during these times, however, balancing that with healthy skepticism is pretty tricky.
Healthy skeptical inquiry is good curiosity. I think it is very similar to “higher discernment” in that the latter has an established set of criteria thru which information is sifted. Albeit personal, one still has the ability to discern what they will believe and how they will study it.
When the student (and EVERYONE is a student) seeks an answer for his or her self knowledge and chooses which direction they will lean, that decision is usually made on the basis of repeated inquiry and duplicated evidence. We learn from repetition.
Relying on outside authoritative confirmation has not only become glaringly biased from those from which you seek it, but teaches you to follow the herd, be compliant, and never look like a trouble maker. We are all human beings questing for something – answers, truth, knowledge…etc and if we continue to rely upon those with (seemingly) higher knowledge, we will never learn to take responsibility or risk, let alone learn from our mistakes.
If those in power are failing to depart wisdom to the “lesser individuals” because they don’t think we could “handle the truth”, then it is up to us to show THEM what it looks like to have an open mind and heart to new and challenging ideas. And if we can not do this ourselves, (due to our docile herd mentality) then we shouldn’t be pretending to play with the big dogs by challenging them at every turn and looking like the fools with infantile minds they love to think we have.
“Higher discernment” is something very unique and is relative to your personal (inner feelings) and knowledge. Skepticism is a little sharper edged, often more publicly pronounced (announced), and may become pathological if left unsupervised (by you) due to its emotional content and how it is encouraged by the aggressor. This type of pathology is commonly found in the comments section of most alternative news sources, YouTube, and others.
[path·o·log·i·cal] – “of, or relating to, or manifesting behavior that is habitual, maladaptive, and compulsive. Being such to a degree that it is extreme, excessive, or markedly abnormal.” Merriam-Webster
An excellent article on this subject written by William J. Beaty © 1996 – states in part;
“Many members of the mainstream scientific community react with extreme hostility when presented with certain claims. This can be seen in their emotional responses to current controversies such as UFO abductions, cold fusion, crypto-zoology, psi, and numerous others. These scientists react not with pragmatism and a wish to get to the bottom of things, but instead with the same tactics religious groups use to suppress heretics:
Erecting barriers against new ideas by constantly altering the requirements for acceptance is often found in main stream science communities. (A practice called “moving the goalposts”)
Example: “I won’t believe it until major laboratories publish papers in this field. They have? Well, that means nothing! Major labs have been wrong before. I’ll believe it when stores sell products which use the effect. They do? Well, that means nothing, after all, stores sell magic healing pendants and Ouija boards. I’ll believe it when a Nobel Prize winning researcher gets behind that work. One has? Well that means nothing! That person is probably old and dotty like Dr. Pauling and his vitamin-C cures…” etc.
Belief that science is guided by consensus beliefs and majority rule, rather than by evidence has also become a favorable habit. Indulging in behavior which reinforces the negative effects of consensus beliefs while minimizing the impact of any evidence which contradicts those beliefs.
Example: “I don’t care how good your evidence is, I won’t believe it until the majority of scientists also find it acceptable, and it is announced on the news or in the NY Times. Your evidence cannot be right, because it would mean that hundreds of textbooks and thousands of learned experts are wrong.”
True skepticism is vitally important to real inquiry. Skepticism involves meticulously questioning beliefs or facts. Ideally, every scientist then is a true skeptic.
Skeptopathy, (another word for pathological skepticism) on the other hand, is not a logical rational pursuit. Pathological skepticism is the irrational belief that a theory or a piece of evidence is false merely because it is unusual, or goes against conventional wisdom, or is simply too difficult to imagine.
Pathological skepticism then involves an irrational unsupported belief that something is untrue. Skeptopathy involves not fact and scientific rigor – but blind faith that an unpleasant notion is false, usually followed by ridicule of some kind.
“Scientists are people, after all, and subject to basic human irrationality and selfishness. Like many people, some scientists routinely engage in denial…. If reality is too difficult to face they will simply ignore it. Like many people, some scientists are largely self-serving, and despite privately acknowledging the scientific truth, they will pretend that a disturbing hypothesis is false in order to protect or further their funding, careers, or reputation. This has done much damage to our society and has caused many people great emotional suffering at the hands of a few “trusted authorities”. (William J. Beaty)
Learning to use your OWN discernment and keeping quiet with your opinions for just a little longer before you “pounce-to-announce” will take you far in this new era of disclosure. Be a healthy skeptic, but keep a sharp eye on your compulsions. We are all entering into the realms of new and bizarre scientific discoveries, some exciting, some frightening, and some extraordinary in every respect.
Lets give you a little test…. shall we? Watch the entire video (or rather listen to it) and observe your thoughts. I wonder if you will have a good sense of curiosity on board, or skeptopathic disregard.
Ringing Earth – Tibetan Monks in “spirit cave” hear new sounds
“There is a secret cave of spirits in Tibet. This cave is not known to the public.
The Tibetan saints are sleeping in this cave. The old men and monks are saying that it is starting to sing its mantra calling for gods to return to the Earth. This mantra has three levels. The last level means the coming of the new era.
Listen to this sound recorded by Russian enthusiasts who were allowed to visit the place near the cave where it was possible to record the sound.
This sound has no artificial changes and is presented in raw format (only noises were reduced).
An open letter to the economy … revised slightly. As always, a valuable documentary follows. (Should be mandatory education)
Below is a quote from one of Charles Eisenstein’s essays.
“Stumbling” upon his work has brought me some much needed mental rest, and a little distance from the feelings of hopelessness for a future… for myself (and many of you who have written in about these feelings). To be honest, I am almost numb with overwhelm and shock at the current state of the collective un-consciousness and the desire of the ‘majority’ to stay complacent and addicted to this world-reality.
Eisenstein offers a collage of out-of-the-box ideas for a financial do-over, sustainable community wealth, and Living The Gift-Time Bank Currencies, a little good news amidst the deluge of doom and gloom.
Here are most of his links so you can read his essays, listen to his talks, and just do some general “de-schooling” as he calls it.

“We have been betrayed. After centuries of sacrifice on the altar of technological development, we harbor a deep disappointment and anger. We export that anger onto the Illuminati, or whoever it is that has robbed us of The Future. Surely this technological utopia exists – it has only been withheld from us, and the technologies of paradise turned toward nefarious ends. But the real problem is deeper than that. It is the paradigm of control itself that causes us to sacrifice everything in pursuit of a mirage.
The conspiracists agree with a defining precept of our civilization: that the world is fundamentally amenable to control. They think that this power to control has been turned toward evil, but do not dispute the technocratic doctrine that society and the material world can be endlessly improved through the methods of science: gathering information, making plans, eliminating variables, applying force, and so on. To believe that the NWO conspiracy is even possible is to conform to one of the primary motivating and justifying beliefs underlying totalitarianism. The NWO believers are not as radical as they think.
Conspiracy theories ascribe a degree of competence, foresight, and efficiency to the controlling organizations that is generally foreign to human institutions. We live in a civilization built on control, on the idea that we can order the world through material and social technology and, once we perfect those technologies, win the war against nature, against disorder, against uncertainty. But in fact, the world is messy, chaotic, and unpredictable, and no matter how tightly we attempt to orchestrate events, control slips through our grasp like mud through a clenched fist. We are immersed in an ideology that says that with the next technological revolution, with next medical innovation, or the next set of comprehensive regulations, finally we will get all the messy variables under control and live in an orderly, secure world.
Are there really ultra-intelligent, ultra-competent people on top whose plans actually work and whose technologies actually succeed in molding the world to their plans? Or are the elites of our civilization as confused and scared as the rest of us, responding to events that, at every turn, take on a life of their own? The futility of control is written into the fabric of reality. Complex non-linear systems such as a body or a society are inherently unpredictable. Of course, those in power try to maintain control and often wreak awful damage in so doing, but generally speaking it is events that control them, and not the other way around.”

Greetings & Salutations… From Poofness
Well, here goes, people have been snatched and put in undisclosed locations, thievery is being met with ‘instant karma’, so the arrests have already begun.
I’ve heard of 3 locations, offshore on ships, the hague, and mainland china. Europe can’t make it without The infusion, yes, and some banks will shut their doors as the new system takes over.
*Damn, is it so hard to be honest in today’s world?
They also had to fix something at the us treasury, no names were mentioned, so it’s just pure speculation at this point. That comes down to who somebody hates the most. That judgement is going to come back and bite some butts out here. Folks just don’t have enough information to be pointing at anybody, plus some folks have had to keep their cards really tight to the chest so you’re free to let your mind wonder. The news is only giving you folks reactions, but it is not telling you what they are reacting too. Last week 60 minutes, exposed the money making going on in congress and this past week I watched politicians in some really bad moods. Catch it tonight, Lagard will have some choice comments for you to hear.
The ‘platforms’ have been funded, by metal, so the freakout will only get louder. Fiat currency is headed for the toilet and the big boys know it. None of this is really a secret anymore, you are watching the reaction of the end game being put right in their faces. Kimberly Clark stock has got to be rising right now, with all these folks losing control of their bowels right now. Intense abdominal issues are up for all kinds of folks, so the flight and fright zone is being hammered. Hang on to your shorts folks, the ‘fix’ is here, and they won’t lose the moment on somebody trying to throw a monkey wrench in. People are poised and in position and some of these folks running their mouths are going to be embarrassed for having led a bunch people off a cliff. These forthcoming announcements in the east and the west, will get the public hip to what has gone on for 100+ years. It’s really just a foreclosure on a planetary scale. You will know who borrowed but did not pay. The word given to me was ‘because they did not share’. Greed, got ‘em in the end.
BTW, level 1 and level 2, are done…we make all that stuff liquid. That puts things in a position where the unhappy will start becoming vocal.
Have a wonderful future and don’t take any wooden nickels.
Love and Kisses,
Poofness
