How come there always seems to be this lurking cloud of ‘the faceless masses‘ poised in my mind?

And the task of whether I choose to direct my thoughts towards or away from this mass seems to be the most important choice of all. My focal point somehow habitually realigns and checks above, below and around me – seeking the others to whom I can orientate my own thinking around. It is so odd – especially because I am by no means an extroverted person. I am a hermit by nature, always have been.

This image of clouds and with it the idea of weather is the perfect metaphor because it honestly portrays the vision and sensations that come along with this phenomenon.

It’s like a mass overhead, unformed and yet unified which sits sometimes fluffy and nice, signaling calm seas and good weather – well received responses, happy endings, problems solved. There’s a likeness in the reflections which whisper agreeing thoughts and signify commonalities linked and strong. Safe and surely seen by those who love you and all around you.

However, just like a storm can seemingly come out of nowhere, these clouds can quickly change faces, too. Dark, ominous and overbearing these heavy clouds push down and crowd thoughts. Suddenly doubts are looming or chaos is cracking in the air. The clouds take on a whole different pressure state and the temperature shifts. You feel the changes as clearly as if they were weather events happening separately somewhere high above and apart from little, individual you.

I know I’m not alone in this feeling or knowing – and there are quite a few theories out there surrounding this kind of concept but what I’d like to explore here today will be the strangeness of this idea of clouds of “people” and how I (and others) seem to always need to address this populace in one way or another.

It doesn’t matter where you look, inevitably you will come across some post, blog or meme which references this foggy figurehead of “people”.

It is a term of convenience really and it carries absolutely no weight or stature and yet it is the most commonly used foundation on which we attempt to impress our version of truth upon others.

When someone tags their opinion to one of these likely phrases it is supposed to underline their perspective as correct while simultaneously undermining an opposing view.

“People say…; these people – those people – some people…”

All these taglines are used in varying ways to assert authority over a conversation. They frame information in way which asks the listener to position themselves alongside the speaker. Why is that important to understand, you may ask? Well, it creates a closed circuit conversation and we should all know by now that a closed system is a negatively oriented system.

Liar loops are built upon these seemingly insubstantial and irrelevant closed circuits. You are stuck confirming the entire concept because you’ve agreed to be looped into the first set. You don’t realize you’re running the same course over and over until some trigger pops up and asks you to stop the entire trip. By that time, some are too comfortable with the looping trip and choose to keep it going instead of facing the unhappy truth which waits on the exit from said liar loop.

Negatively aligned systems rely on cognitive biases, disassociation and community pressures to keep the energy coming and going – so there are loads of protective measures in place to assure those who’ve agreed to serve the system stay in it. There are threats of punishment, exile or even death placed upon the cogs in the negative agenda’s machine. This is how, even though the negative is always uncomfortable and unhappy, it still retains servitude from its cogs.

Now, taking all this knowledge and applying to the message for today’s blog, I’d like to point at the tagline again as a marker of a negative orientation.

Simply using the term “people” doesn’t necessarily mean the person (or system) is undoubtably negatively aligned. I call it a marker for a reason. The way in which the tagline is presented matters most in determining polarity orientation. If the highlighting is in a predominately connected or linked shading and presents unification, similarity or oneness in it then the usage remains in the positive side of the scope. However, if it is used to create division (opposing sides / friends vs. enemies) or purposeful segregation is implied as necessary to retain some purity or specialized position of one part over another then alignments have shifted onto the negative side.

Noting the setup of the tagline is for personal reference only. It is not meant to instigate action against or promotion of the aforementioned tagline and phrase that follows. It is merely something, that as the listener, one should realize at this point a sleight of hand is taking place. An illusion is being provided for you to take part in and go with per se. Navigating responses is difficult and highly dependent on surrounding criteria and so I won’t go into it now but just for reference I wanted to note this occurrence first from the external world before I head into internal conversations where we have much more accountability and can actually exert some form of control with corrective measures.

When we accept an other’s position in a conversation we naturally ‘put ourselves in their shoes’ and conform our thinking to this new seat. This is how organic intelligence operates and it is positively energized at the start because it is open and accepting. However, we immediately polarize the thought and separate the sides, creating a distance or boundary between the two in order to really put ourselves in that others’ POV. This is the first steps towards negativity. Opposites, enemies, conflicting beliefs all have this assumption of separation which is the basis of all negative operations.

For those of us aware and seeking positive orientation and service, this becomes an impassable gap. We are asked to negate Oneness and subjugate our service from The Whole to another limited version. This may be posed as a request or given as an order, it might be introduced as a ‘for limited time only opportunity’ or promoted as a necessary cut in order to regain more at a later time. All of these are illusions and false premises offered up simply because they “fit” at the time and solely for the outcome of absorption. Whatever the appearance, remember the inner core intention is what designates polarity and those seeking positivity will never compromise their God given sovereignty.

Once included and running on the loop, the cog finds it highly difficult to detach even when things press against personal morals. The individual will cut off its own well being for the Whole system now because it has morphed its natural state into this negatively aligned system. Now, the system is viewed as the permanent “whole”. Each cog is told there is nothing outside this whole which would welcome them as anything but an stranger now. The individual has forgotten it subjugated its organic sovereignty and freedom to a particular system. It forgets there is a true Whole. This is where I link terms and ideas to say that the person has forgotten God and their one truth.

All lies, discontent and negativities stem from this first lie, the denial of wholeness and accountability to the creator of the whole. When one denies the first truth, only lies can come forth and when this happens the system responds by rearranging itself into a negative alignment, to serve itself first and ensure its own prerogative is carved out in the way it sees best. This goes against everything innately programmed in the heart, and so one must convince itself that out of harm good can eventually come. This is one the weirdest lies I find the ego/shadow whispering about to the unhappy clouds that congregate above it.

The inner propaganda of the negative system uses the terms “people” in a self serving manner and seeks to control thinking by pitting selves against each other. This is happily accepted by the majority within because they’re told they are on the “right side” and part of the “right people”. Those others are marked as the enemy, the opposition, those whom are wrong on so many levels that it isn’t even worth it to attempt reconciliation.

This is the negative alignment’s answer to the repercussions of the positive’s original rebuttal. Since the positive cannot compromise and refuses to interact negatively at all, the negative forms a mirrored effect which says, good – we don’t want you anyways. It then feeds this idea to all the subjects under its reign in a truth/lie sandwich. You must eat the whole thing in order to prove your allegiance. Once under the bar, you then believe you “know” there are others out there who are unreachable, unchangeable and to be left by the wayside.

I called this is a lie/truth sandwich because there is an ounce of truth contained in the notion – we do have the power of choice aka free will in this space and time – therefore it is upon each of our conscious shoulders to accept or deny the Truth: we are fractals, different yet of the same source. This understanding harkens back to the one Truth and the original lie I mentioned prior.

The truth which hides inside their sandwich is obviously a paradox. Just as we feel it as quite clear we are all separate beings, we also know we are interconnected.

I view physical separation as a purposeful hurdle set within a race. It is not meant to be removed but hopped over, it is part of the set and our job as runners is to go around the track, not reorganize the obstacles.

We are one whole species. We are one family. We are even one with those other beings here which outwardly look so different from humans – the plants, animals and elements. All things are in fact One and formed from one mind, within the infinite creator, which we all share because He extends His Love and Knowing out to us as life: breath and energy.

These integral pieces tie us all together in such deeply rooted ways that none can escape, nor does any truly want to escape. The notion of free thought and the power of choice glitter and reflect in such ways that some see light while others shadow. This is again, set and stage material, and as the actors, we are not meant to design or even pay that much attention to it, right? It has a function within the show and adds visuals to the message but we all know actors don’t write plays, directors don’t act and the crew are not to be seen on stage.

There may be an air of deception in this angled metaphor but I truly believe there is no malice behind the setup at all. It could not be so, for if it were there would be no show at all. It would be a much different experience here if a positive, benevolent creator was not playing the main role.

Strict, inwardly focused light cannot refract, cannot reflect or even stretch its rays outwardly at all – therefore how would any version of expression exist? It would not. And even a glitch or shift of energetic expression would be immediately noticed and destroyed, if it could be,that is. The tiniest wave of truth would cause a negativity of that size to lose control completely because it would fracture its foundation of reality.

Nothing is falling apart here on earth, except things which humans have built.

Seasons, day and night, the moon’s cycles are all going on just as they always have. Trees, flowers and plants are blooming or hibernating depending on their biosphere. Animals, just the same. These are God given schedules and time markers within the set and setting of the play. They signal to us humans that we are part of a larger cycle and web of life. The Creator needs nothing from the creation in order to sustain itself – how could it? How could a mother say to its baby – you must now provide me energy to stay alive? The mother must have been alive before conception. How did she survive before and where did the extra nutrition, cells and structure come from in order to build the babies body? It makes zero sense to try to assume the Creator would require anything – unless of course, this creator is but a creation himself.

I’ve gotten a bit off the point here, so to reel myself in and refocus on the point of my ramble – the usage of the ‘faceless masses’ ploy always holds the key to unveiling which angle a system (or person) is oriented towards. The chosen way in which one highlights other “people” clearly states their own base assumption of the world around them.

And I even include myself within this assessment, don’t worry, I’m not trying to stick a soapbox under my feet. I use this observation technique to gauge within my own self where and how I am choosing to highlight things I think I know. It can be rather difficult to push yourself into a 3^rdparty perspective, but it does become easier over time. Now I find great relief and assistance when I step outside myself.

Since picking up this practice I’ve begun to notice with more detail the clouds of faceless masses. Nothing particularly ground breaking has happened except that I now know I am not a part of this conglomerate. There is a boundary which it seems no individual can actually pass.

Now, this sets up the strangeness of the paradox – how can “people” grouped together be some immovable force or monolith of thought? Why is it that individually each person makes sense, has a backstory and reasoning behind their every action yet collectively a group of people can suddenly be unreasonable, irreproachable and even violent?

Would a person act out these puppet-like movements if they were approached singularly? Probably not, right? Of course we do see examples of extremist behavior sporadically but is every person really capable of being absorbed into the swarm like an angry beehive activated to rage against whatever threat has triggered them?

I would hope not – but the appearance of these mobs and groups of angered people has increased recently and that pushes me to write these ponderings.

An upset person has a reason behind their feelings, plain and simple. When dealing with an individual who has been wronged there is always a solution. It is only when the solution is ignored or refused that extended issues build up. This is simple energetic math.

When more than one person is situated within the same framework of upset there is clearly a systematic breakdown happening somewhere. The solution must be purposefully hid, outright denied or else fabricated in some distorted way which confuses problem with solution. This can only occur if it is orchestrated and must run top down in allegiance to the negative hierarchy. This is systemic rotting and it happens a lot within negative structures. The good news is every single infected individual still holds the key to their own release and healing. They just need to back out of the groupthink and return to their sole individuality. Sovereignty erases all imagined discrepancies. However, typically the person has relinquished their sole purpose for the whole group they’ve aligned with and become a cog instead of a human. Realizing you’ve degraded yourself into a robotic cog in the wheel of some poorly constructed not-so-funhouse can be a groundbreaking or life shattering epiphany. And depending on how one views this, they may choose to back down and remain “safe” in their robotic role or break the chains of habit and conformity to fly free again as the individual they are destined to be.

Destiny and fate are not so different – just as friends and enemies are merely sides of a single coin – these seemingly separate presumptions of life’s goals and expectations are really one in the same; a belief structure. The world is built upon thoughts and how we each thinks adds to our external world.

When we think “these people” do this and “those people” do that – we are create clouds and cause conflict in the skies. These energetic clouds collect a charge and respond to their surroundings in accord with natural law. AKA a storm brews, temperatures shift drastically, pressure rises or drops. We instigate the bad weather scenarios but then turn a blind eye to causation and lay blame on the result alone. We hate the rain, damn the sleet, can’t stand the snow. We see heavy clouds darkening the bright blue sky, imposing their greyness over our sun’s quiet rays and somehow we think formations are separate from our thoughts and actions. They are not. Just like a person doesn’t become aggressive for no reason, or “evil” out of nowhere – there is always a root cause.

What we have done is merely deny the cause completely. We do this when we make presumptions about others or groups, systems, etc. We basically use the weather excuse – which is “nobody controls the weather” it just is. Then from that foundation we castrate, demonize and judge all those around us as the appear to be in whichever moment we subjectively choose. No consideration for the build up, causation or justification behind whatever ugly outside we currently see. It’s easier to assume and categorize than to pull back the layers and look at the inner workings.

How we treat others is a direct reflection of how we see and treat our own self. I have come to this reckoning many times before but lately I’m seeing blurred lines where clear borders used to reside. Who is outside of my mind and who is within it? What makes me, me? In seeking the answer to this question I’ve come to realize there is no question at all because I already know the truth, We are One. No answer can be sought if there is nothing to ask. And when I apply this knowing to the world around me each day I understand more and more clearly how integral all people are to this world.

I have no particular summation to reach with the blog. I merely hope to share my thoughts in words on a screen, “on white paper”, to see for myself the sense hiding in the confusion. Yes, I still may harp on about certain people here and there or I might find myself caught up in us vs. them thinking occasionally but just as a compass always redirects us towards North – my heart is connected to the poles of truth on this planet and I am reminded gently of the real direction home which is here for all people. Opening up and reconfiguring my own inner navigation to this truth is helping me greatly on my journey back home, and I hope if you’ve read this that it helps you, too.
