Our Spiritual Natures vs. Influencing Agendas
Please note a couple of excellent recent articles by two of my esteemed ‘blogeagues’, Kingsley Dennis and Neil Kramer, whose insights and intelligence continue to inspire me here at Surfing the Tao.
Neil Kramer has blessed us yet again with another thoughtful post over at The Cleaver, entitled What Lies Beneath: Is Belief a Big Con? From religions and spirituality to new physics and our concept of reality itself, how and what we believe, and how we apply these beliefs, can either uplift and heal, or bring certain doom. Our traditional concept of reality, including ‘mainstream’ science, must at some point begin to absorb the study of consciousness itself, to take a note from our ancient sources of wisdom. The two are intricately intertwined on a level we perhaps have not yet come to terms with. Certainly “unveiling the Control System” is important initially, but how we react and what we do with that knowledge is the ultimate key to an enlightened and sustainable future. It’s all in how we catch the wave.
One might understand why I mention Neil’s post in the same breath as Kingsley’s incredibly well-researched article, Global Gridlock: How the US Military-Industrial Complex Seeks to Contain and Control the Earth and its Eco-System. Kingsley does indeed note the spiritual implications of our ‘new reality’ in various posts on his blog, Between Both Worlds, and so this most recent article is received in the spirit of understanding there is a vast amount of information out there we need to be made aware of. The government is intent on achieving dominance over the entire electromagnetic spectrum, including the development of a ’synchronic’ society with regards to tracking and monitoring even the biological elements – this is powerful information that could have vast implications with regards to our future as a society, and even as living beings within it. Making well-informed decisions about how we progress in this world is imperative, and Kingsley is a very important source to pay attention to on that front.

Thanks Angela for your understanding - you’ve hit the nail on the head: ‘to be of the world yet not of the world’ refers to the need to evolve and develop our spiritual natures and awakening whilst, on the other hand, keeping abreast of the social changes, influences, and agendas that are unfolding around us.
To be made aware - yes: but not at the cost of delaying or disrupting the positive energies within. In the end - we ‘choose’ our paths by our choices. Informed yet never made powerless.
Aloha!
Nice links, thanks!
