Avoid the Dominant Paradox

Avoid the Dominant Paradox

 

by R. Ayana

 

It’s a good time to start creating a better world. It’s a good time to stop supporting the current system by extricating ourselves from it. It’s easy for groups of people to create new ways of life of their own devising.

 The only way to achieve true freedom is to be aware of the subtle and sledgehammer programming planted in us all by family, nation and culture. Until we’re aware of why we think and feel the way we do, we cannot be free.  

There’s no point fighting the system or even attempting to change it from within (see http://www.geocities.com/ramaussies ) – instead, let it wither on the vine. The dominant paradigm survives through ingrained, unexamined beliefs and aphorisms that hypnotise the unwary into a life of fearful acquisition and pointless (re)activity. In nature’s reality unbridled growth means the inevitable death of an organism or species – and within the human sphere, possessions possess the possessor.  

 

 Society’s ongoing task is to program free agents to fulfill its ends – which may or may not be beneficial to the individuals involved. Either way human awareness must be limited or reduced by a culture to channel the individual will toward predetermined corporate goals – instead of toward personal survival, growth and self-knowledge. Historically, it’s been necessary to avoid society or dwell on its fringes to fully explore these regions of human awareness. 

Genes and Memes

 
 
We’re all programmed by memes – in the original pre-blog usage of the term, a meme is a thought-form with a reality all its own, a living program of idea propagating itself through and via the human collective consciousness, just as genes propagate themselves via human protoplasm. These programs act like possessing entities, often driving and riding their human mounts to unlikely or unfortunate destinations.  

 To change the world we must remake our selves. The will to change others is a wish to control them. The only place change occurs is within you. To learn what drives us you must listen to your thoughts to realise how few of them are actually yours. Then you can decide which ones you agree with. Better still, learn to stop ALL the monkey chatter of thought and learn what true peace is. With this simple step you can conquer the illusory fear of death that governs and directs all unenlightened beings – and drives them to their graves. 

 No one can save the world, but it takes every one of us to save the planetary ecosystem. You can save the tract of earth on which you stand and the life-forms that share it with you – yet saving yourself and your environment requires much more than changing light bulbs while continuing to steam along on a doomed Titanic luxury cruise. 

 It IS possible is to create new systems and ways of life that are real alternatives to the world-destroying cultures and societies our ancestors built for us – if only like-minded people can enjoy living together. Learning to accept and like others – and not merely tolerate them – is a loving skill denied most post-modern nuclear family denizens and their sole children offspring. Sharing is a skill we must all develop if we are to survive and thrive in this New Millennium. 
 In a single house in a city, or a city block, or on agricultural land or in the wilderness, you DO make a difference, all the time – every time you flick a switch, flush a toilet, turn on a tap or pour something down a drain or into the earth or water, every time you buy, make or sell something and each time you meet the eyes of a fellow conscious being. 

 If we want freedom to choose not to destroy the planet by our very existence, we must first resolve and dissolve our ancient individual and racial sibling rivalries and all the customary feudal ill-will toward our own family members. It’s easier to remake or selves in the womb of our creation. Then we can really have a chance of trusting others and creating alternative, sustainable ways of living, learning, earning, occupying and entertaining ourselves. 
  

 

 
 Or we can just sit and talk or write about the state of the world or our lounge rooms, contributing to the distracting chatter of slowly evolving simians who still foul their own nests and spend their time by spending money. Humanity is a wide, deep gene-pool with many shallow shores. It takes all kinds to make a world. 


Anything is possible. All of our fundamentally medieval cultures and lurid shallow media give us an utterly unreal, biased and propaganda-driven view of reality. The world is actually very friendly and benign to those living in harmony with nature and their own natures. Compassion breeds compassion and focused awareness ignites awareness in others. Communication requires respectful sensitivity to feedback and the knowledge and belief that the other person is at least as conscious as you are. If you contact the other person’s true central awareness you’re far more likely to achieve true communication. If you assume you’re talking to a dullard you’ll often fail to get anything through a brick wall of your own devising. 

 It’s possible o live in a tribe wherever you are or find yourself. The first step is to be open to the idea and all that it entails. A nuclear family isn’t a viable way to create or raise healthy human beings – it‘s designed for the use and abuse of industry, religions and militarists. Humans need society just as society needs humans – individuals need to feel part of a tribe to remain healthy and keep growing, and a tribe is not a nation; it’s a small group of people. It’s easy to make a real home, with a family of any reasonable size; your brothers, sisters and cousins are all around you, born into the same divisive small families that are now deemed necessary to reduce unbridled population increase.  


Find real friends and find a home to share. Learn how to heal its ecosystem. Plant a tree. See how long it takes for a tree to grow – and how long it needs protection from axe, saw and fire. While you’re waiting plant a forest, with plenty of food trees. All over the world, two generations of alternative pioneers have quietly been learning how to create a wonderful future – in the here and now. Help yourself by joining and helping them create a better world. 

 What would you like to create? How would you like to live?What kind of world will it help to create?Be careful what you wish for. Dream on – or just do it – today.

Soul Survivor: Could a Little Boy Be Proof of Reincarnation?

Soul Survivor

Could a Little Boy Be Proof of Reincarnation?

 Six decades ago, a 21-year-old navy fighter pilot on a mission over the Pacific was shot down by Japanese artillery. His name might have been forgotten, were it not for 6-year-old James Leininger. Quite a few people — including those who knew the fighter pilot — think James is the pilot, reincarnated. James' parents, Andrea and Bruce, a highly educated, modern couple, say they are "probably the people least likely to have a scenario like this pop up in their lives." But over time, they have become convinced their little son has had a former life.

From an early age, James would play with nothing else but planes, his parents say. But when he was 2, they said the planes their son loved began to give him regular nightmares. "I'd wake him up and he'd be screaming," Andrea told ABCNEWS' Chris Cuomo. She said when she asked her son what he was dreaming about, he would say, "Airplane crash on fire, little man can't get out."

James Huston Jr., whose tragic death during World War II is remembered in detail by young James Leininger, pauses for a picture sometime in 1944, the year before he was shot down. Source

Reality Check

Andrea says her mom was the first to suggest James was remembering a past life. At first, Andrea says she was doubtful. James was only watching kids' shows, his parents say, and they weren't watching World War II documentaries or conversing about military history. But as time went by, Andrea began to wonder what to believe. In one video of James at age 3, he goes over a plane as if he's doing a preflight check. Another time, Andrea said, she bought him a toy plane, and pointed out what appeared to be a bomb on its underside. She says James corrected her, and told her it was a drop tank. "I'd never heard of a drop tank," she said. "I didn't know what a drop tank was."

Then James' violent nightmares got worse, occurring three and four times a week. Andrea's mother suggested she look into the work of counselor and therapist Carol Bowman, who believes that the dead sometimes can be reborn. With guidance from Bowman, they began to encourage James to share his memories — and immediately, Andrea says, the nightmares started become less frequent. James was also becoming more articulate about his apparent past, she said. Bowman said James was at the age when former lives are most easily recalled. "They haven't had the cultural conditioning, the layering over the experience in this life so the memories can percolate up more easily," she said.

F4U Corsair

Trail of Mysteries

Over time, James' parents say he revealed extraordinary details about the life of a former fighter pilot — mostly at bedtime, when he was drowsy. They say James told them his plane had been hit by the Japanese and crashed. Andrea says James told his father he flew a Corsair, and then told her, "They used to get flat tires all the time." In fact, historians and pilots agree that the plane's tires took a lot of punishment on landing. But that's a fact that could easily be found in books or on television. Andrea says James also told his father the name of the boat he took off from — Natoma — and the name of someone he flew with — "Jack Larson."

After some research, Bruce discovered both the Natoma and Jack Larson were real. The Natoma Bay was a small aircraft carrier in the Pacific. And Larson is living in Arkansas. "It was like, holy mackerel," Bruce said. "You could have poured my brains out of my ears. I just couldn't believe it.

USS Natoma Bay

James 2 = James M. Huston Jr.?

Bruce became obsessed, searching the Internet, combing through military records and interviewing men who served aboard the Natoma Bay. He said James told him he had been shot down at Iwo Jima. James had also begun signing his crayon drawings "James 3." Bruce soon learned that the only pilot from the squadron killed at Iwo Jima was James M. Huston Jr. Bruce says James also told him his plane had sustained a direct hit on the engine.

Ralph Clarbour, a rear gunner on a U.S. airplane that flew off the Natoma Bay, says his plane was right next to one flown by James M. Huston Jr. during a raid near Iwo Jima on March 3, 1945. Clarbour said he saw Huston's plane struck by anti-aircraft fire. "I would say he was hit head on, right in the middle of the engine," he said.

Treasured Mementos

Bruce says he now believes his son had a past life in which he was James M. Huston Jr. "He came back because he wasn't finished with something." The Leiningers wrote a letter to Huston's sister, Anne Barron, about their little boy. And now she believes it as well. "The child was so convincing in coming up with all the things that there is no way on the world he could know," she said.

But Professor Paul Kurtz of the State University of New York at Buffalo, who heads an organization that investigates claims of the paranormal, says he thinks the parents are "self-deceived." "They're fascinated by the mysterious and they built up a fairy tale," he said. James' vivid, alleged recollections are starting to fade as he gets older — but among his prized possessions remain two haunting presents sent to him by Barron: a bust of George Washington and a model of a Corsair aircraft. They were among the personal effects of James Huston sent home after the war.

"He appears to have experienced something that I don't think is unique, but the way it's been revealed is quite astounding," Bruce said. Asked if the idea that James may have been someone else changes his or his wife's feeling about their son, Bruce said: "It doesn't change how we think. I don't look at him and say, 'That's not my boy.' That's my boy."

About past lives ... Uniontown WW II flyer's memories in Louisiana boy http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/dailycourier/news/s_189477.html

The Past Life Memories of James Leininger

Editor's note from Reverse Spins:

Apparently they mentioned on the show that the boy's memory of his past life is fading. This is not surprising and no refutation of reincarnation. For those who say there is no reincarnation because we can't remember past lives, I challenge you to remember your childhood. Most of us can only remember isolated events. If we can't remember most of our childhood how are we supposed to remember past lives?

We have enough problems dealing with this life. Imagine trying to cope with the problems and traumas of past lives all at the same time. God in His infinite mercy casts a veil over memories. Some do remember but it is not necessarily the right course of action to seek one's former lives, for once you discover them, you take on more karma all at once for that embodiment. Normally it would be stretched out over time. The boys nightmares are a perfect illustration of this phenomena and demonstration of cosmic law.

Although I do not remember my last embodiment and do not wish to pursue it, this story really resonates with me for two reasons. I absolutely love that plane and have for a long, long time. I also spent a year in Japan in this life. I was born five years after WW II ended, a reasonable amount of time between embodiments. Maybe I hated the Japanese too much and had to balance that karma. I now love many aspects of Japanese culture. I don't know if I was ever one of Mr. Huston's wing men, in any event, God bless this former F4U pilot for remembering his past and all those who brought it to our attention.
