The west we made of ourself

When i put the west i see in my mirror, i sense the image after which we have made ourselves.
This sadistic, melancholy one sided anxiety ridden paranoia of an omniscient rationality and omnipotent ruler through abstract principle of justice, morality and order. Enraged when not followed or his will is crossed. Our consciousnes is reflecting this image. Most often as cold, distant and ruthless, but as an ideal he is old, bearded and distant. A god of manhood. Even women identify with this image. This is how we all think we should appear if we want to rule, or show decisiveness. We think conquering is relating. Not surprisingly, this image we have of ourselves then, is also a wifeless one. It´s an ideal of manhood, and it has no woman beside it. There are no traits of compassion. Or true generosity. It suffers a complete lack of the feminine.
No wonder there is a problem with the nature of earth and personal feelings. And in our views on women.
This is what we force upon the world. This is our image. The very image we present ourself with to the world.

Reality as my fiction

Am i not a being whose reality comes wholly from my imagination and the beliefs that imposes.
Isn’t this what I perform and name with the mask of my behavior.
I am enacting and miming a reality that is completely a fiction. And this is were the drama and horrors we create and call everyday life comes from.

It is also what we call news.

About leadership today

Being directed by, and unaware of the patterns of behaviour that flow from the organizing structure of a certain collective itself, rather than the individuality of its members,
is getting us very close to how people have come to appreciate the political, financial and corporate leadership of today.

Imagination as individuality

When we try to describe something to someone else, we use our imagination trying to coordinate the personal inner stream of images and events into a coherent and living picture. There are times when we have to use someone else’s imagination, and we will also use both our own and others mixed together to be sure to get understood by what we are trying to describe in a certain context. But we also have a tendency trying to make them more believable by telling others that they should take them literally.
And we are even saying that since other people do take them literally, we should take them for granted if we want to get listened to, or get acceptance from others without being scorned at.
We are all using our imagination as individuals to express the experiences we have of ourselves here and now in our present environment.
And it is a true nightmare that we use some of them in a literally fashion, and as a collective to reject, or even repress the individuality behind them. We are actually getting shaped into a new internal coherence by our imaginations.
Once we have written ourselves into a particular fantasy with its expectations, typicalities, its character traits, what it offers for recognizing oneself. We then begin to shape our life into a caricature of that imagination.

About power

When we as individuals confuse knowledge with power, we magically exaggerate our importance in relation to our self with the unconcious capacity for wisdom.
This creates the true sense of the word evil.

Origins of personality?

When every private emotion and personal ambition have its origin in public opinion and the media. We are simply being reduced to the expectation and the illusory goals of an eager and excited collectivity.

The expired father

Imaginary speaking, we find ourselves acting out this figure of a heavenly father ruling over our apprehension. We are supporting a sky god character that has long since expired by continuing his formal character and making his outworn presence felt in everyday life in terms of rules and regulations, in dogmas and in dead ritual behaviour. We are upholding a system of belief by trying to fill us up with a sense of responsibility and duty towards social and religious convention. To something of the past. But by questioning his ruling, we might become something more than just a single part of his organisational maintenance. We have other ways to experience inner life as individuals.
We can actually become sensitive enough to become humans.
