Does Labor have any real value anymore? Day 702

Does labor have any real value anymore.

My experience at the moment is all the coaches that exist everywhere for everything imaginable.
I have met middle aged women who lost their jobs and started a business coaching. They are around, going out and starting the journey in building social networks to retain clients.

It seems that everyone needs someone to tell them what to do, and yet, with all the job losses because of greater automation, all that hypothecated labor has already been spent for the individual, and can be avoided in the collective machine within automating many services for that end goal of profit. Hence, an advent of coaching has come forward. LOL, also, because that labor has followed automating itself to fit into a skill of a job! 

One could say we have the automated taking over the automated!

Anyone who has mastered something for real, realizes that one must always make use of one’s presence, even within what one has come to understand, because automation can run rampant within one’s self and end up causing problems, because mistakes begin to be made, and insecurity sets in and then one becomes a reaction to a lack as defining one’s self as lacking. It is a perpetual motion of limitation and lack. Some understand this, and have used this in self interest. 

Ask yourself why we are sent to school for 13 years, forced to memorize a very limited story mis-using our imagination and only using imagination? We become automated within this limitation, as we mis-used our presence as life, that which we used to learn to crawl and to walk and to talk. Do we end up needing coaches to help us refocus in reality? And does this process demand self assessment and rebuilding. Can the perspective of being lost in one’s mind make such changes appear impossible, because one knows nothing else?

This reminds me of a story I have come across many times. It is the story of natives on a shore. These natives go to the shore to collect shellfish, or something like that, periodically. It is a ritual/habit/tradition/practice that probably has good inherent within it. Maybe it is to get the nutrient necessary for physical stability, which could be iodine; for example.

So these natives are on the shore and they are automatic in their behavior. The tribal shaman follows them, on the edge. He arrives with them, though at a distance, and watches them collect whatever it is that they collect. Yet, he notices that something is amiss in this common landscape. Somehow the wind is not blowing as it normally does. The pattern has changed in some way. The shaman looks out to sea at the horizon. He notices the wind appears to flow in circular forms different from past experiences. He stares at this phenomenon. And then suddenly, through the fog of his comfort zone, his habituated experience, his veil of belief, he see it. There on the horizon are many ships. 

Such ships are something he has never seen before. He calls out to the members of his group, and yet they do no hear, he continues to call, and some begin to look, and some begin to see, and pretty soon, many have stood outside of the automated selves and see what was hidden in plain sight. 

In many ways, we are all those people. There are some, who simply deny the ships, no matter what, because they are happy in their ignorance or the benefits of the problem.  Realize, that Plato’s infamous metaphor of being in the cave and only watching the shadows on the wall, is really the same as what these indigenous people were being on the beach that day. This reveals how what we practice is what we become on one level. It makes it plain that when we practice an imperfect practice, misusing imagination, and limiting our attention to the physical reality around us, we lose what is real, and end up making mistakes. 

Can this  happen over generations because information is passed through DNA in seeds and we are mechanisms of DNA as well?  have we externalized an imperfect and limited practice and collectively accepted this, as we allowed what we believed within to become greater that what is real without? 

Have we placed our capacity into a false construct? Do we follow  what is imparted as information by others to be what informs this great capacity to sense the physical reality around us because a separation we can no longer see has made us insecure and unstable?

Within this false presence, we have allowed our labor to be sold into a future, that is not what is needed in the present yet is based on that past idea. Thus, we have a consequence of coaching to straighten us out, and the loss of jobs because our automations are no longer needed and there are cheaper ways of manifesting that labor needed.  Yet, how can we trust those who coach to not be one of those who cannot see those ships at sea and who may have a somewhat greater construct within to ground into reality just a little more than ourselves?  Are we not all in this together? 

That person who lost their job were as stuck in this as the rest of us. Can we trust them to open our eyes to what is really on the horizon? And, are we going to chose to wallow in self pity, or begin bringing ourselves, our presence back down to reality?

Stopping an automated movement within, is not going to be easy, and yet, is there anything else worth while? I mean, if we had remained present even within internal structures we can zip through to check and maintain, and considered all things instead of only ourselves , where would we be?

As a collective, we really need to ‘ get back on the farm’ so-to-speak. We need to get back into being aware, using our presence, to sense not only what we have accepted and allowed within, as that thick self pity and blame and spite falling down and collecting in out bodies, like an inner matrix, and see through the veil and begin the practice of returning our focus to the physical reality that is this earth, because it is here, working with all things, that we create life. 

That bubble of separation that is a mis-use of imagination is the problem, and the solution is to forgive all of this, and ground ourselves back into physical reality. It is easy if one realizes that our separation is composed of walking an order of steps, until the extra-ordinary is built. We do the same, in reverse, walking what we have accepted and allowed within, and at first peeking through the veil to see the real abundance all around us, as creation as the physical.

At the moment, there is a means to become financially stable in development. It is to promote a currency that instead of being siphoned off to serve what we have accepted as a limited construct - as that, for example, education system that mis-uses imagination with limited story - to allow us to stabilize financially and begin having a moment to stand there on this shore of creation, and listen/sense/feel/read/see-directly what is here, and begin the journey to utilizing all of what we are as physical sensory entities so very capable of learning to crawl and to walk and to talk.


Check it out. Below is an introductory link.  It is only going to happen if we do it. Nothing stops us, but that automated belief system within. It is time to forgive this, the tools are here, we need only walk the ordinary into the extraordinary and become the potential we were meant to be.


Ask yourself what it would be like to stand in certainty, to hold something within that can withstand the test of time? How would that feel? What would it be like to really be present, to be stable and steady? I have to say, it would be totally awesome!

Write me a note!
Thank You!

Day 435 Are you an automaton or are you here aware of the whole?


I remember correcting state writing tests for a school district of seventh graders. So, I sat at a table and corrected the writing of many seventh graders for a couple of days. The words passed by me all day.

Within this there were many forms placed on the paper by each child in this grade level. There was one group of essays that had a pattern, that pattern became obvious because it had more structure than the other papers. A teacher had really taken the time and practiced with the children a simple essay format: the opening statement and the supporting details. The body of the paper fleshing out each point in the opening paragraph. So, the opening paragraph was a perspective given.
Within this, it was easy to see which children could plug in a perspective and support and then flesh this out. There were degrees of difference within this spanning the whole gamut of the stages of development.
Usually, the papers that filled the structure with words I found cool because they completed the order. But when I compared them to what was being said within other papers where there was incomplete order as in building the from of the essay to completion was the perspectives given.
Some of the children built “ thin” statements but completed the template, meaning they had words to place in the form, but the perspective was not encompassing, meaning it did not engage me, it was a common perspective. There is nothing wrong with this, especially at this level because the child is learning to build within a proscribed form, so to take what is known and to use it is fine within learning a new form.
Some children stopped after the topic sentence, moving beyond this was difficult for them. And since this is a process, obviously these children need more support within getting beyond inhibition, getting beyond being overwhelmed with this task. 
Then there were children that could write a topic sentence that was an eye-opening perspective. So “ new “ to me I was astounded. Just reading that first line, the words was like a “ whole new world” so to speak. And often these children had a hard time fleshing this out. This varied by degree too. Some could not move beyond that first paragraph, some had very weak supporting paragraphs.
It was interesting that the papers that were given an ‘A” because they fulfilled the volume of a learned order as a form as the essay, often did not say anything new, even the information was following an established perspective. These papers were praised, not only for their completed form but for the perspective given. Had these children simply learned the perspective as well as the use of words and the conceptual ability to hold a form that orders? What was it about these children that gave perspective that was refreshing but not carried through placed into the structure. Is this that the child that had completed the paper had the time to practice their perspective and thus have easy feed back because the perspective was a norm? Had those children with perspectives that were like a window was being opened, not been allowed to flesh out their perspectives in real life, in ordinary talking, interacting life? Were they stagnant through dis-allowance of their very way of seeing the world in expression on a day to day basis. Had they ever been listened to, and thus practice building their perspective. Or, was their perspective not really heard because it was by degree an  encompassing insight that did not fit the proscription of the norm, and thus even teachers could not conceptually move and direct within this with ease, nor parents and thus the child had no practice, no follow through with their sight about the world?
If that “A” paper is of an accepted order, not good or bad, but conditioned, and all the adults follow this as a norm, and this becomes automated, like a metaphysical guidance system, would it not be difficult to recognize other perspectives? Because in essence what I am saying is that perceptually most of us follow a proscribed order, the one taught to such an extent that conceptually moving out of this is not a movement within us done with ease. A few can do this, but this few are very few, most of us are egotistical and want our perspective to be the only one, not realizing that there is value in our perspective but it is not the only way to see. Thus we are so busy doing this, or following the proscribed order just to get through the day, because we have some worry on our minds, that when a child comes with a new perspective, we cannot see it, because we are automated within a limited view, we are essentially stagnant, and this has become a habit. This in itself is a crime, because it is a state that does not see beyond limited prescription, and thus that child’s voice, that child’s eye opening perspective, is not listened to. Now, what does this eventually do to that child? Do they ever have the chance to build on their perspective? No. Would they become confused and withdrawn. Yes. Would they have ever practiced moving their perspective through to completion, have the practice to follow through. No. Would they become frustrated and withdrawn and eventually seek something to ease that expression that has not been allowed to be released in other ways? Would they by the time they get to middle school have developed habits of giving up? Just as those who follow the proscription develop habits of not seeing anything else other than that proscription that gets the “A” because it is the norm and touted enough and accepted enough within interaction that its practice is available? In both scenarios, we see where we become automated. Thus knowing we become automated, it is obvious that we stop using our conceptual ability, and this act is a crime against the development of ourselves and our children. It is unacceptable. And it means that each needs to make an effort to self realize our own levels of automation. And it also means that we have to be very careful of what we teach because what we teach will become automated to some degree, unless we realize we become this and remain aware of this as we face the world. A human living in automation is a human who has rejected conceptual ability, is a stagnant human, and as we can see with our children, an abuse to the very voice of that child and probably those with whom we have relationships with.
Now, there is this boy who I see walking up and down my street almost every day.  A good looking boy, had a job, must have been in his twenties. Quiet, polite. His hair was always in his eyes, his clothes put together. There was never conversation between us, except for the occasional greeting when my dog happened to run up to him.
This summer this boy died from an overdose. I had to ask myself what lead to this young man being responsible, and yet incommunicative with the general society choosing to basically commit suicide in taking drugs that I am sure he understood to cause himself harm. Was it that this boy never had the opportunity to really speak, to really express his perspective? Was his silence because he had spoken up for years as a child, to teachers and parents and society that moved as an automated limited perspective that never answered/responded/looked at what he was saying, his speaking really a gift as it was an inclusive perspective about life, yet because it did not match what is really extremely limited perspectives taught in a classroom where knowledge and information is imparted but never practically lived thus never substantiated thus this formation in itself not allowing any other perspective to be discovered because it is only presentation as idea? And if we become automated, we begin to believe that this is the only perspective, despite our full awareness , if we read the news, that this physical world is not taking care of this earth, thus our perspectives are limited and do not answer to this physical world, and that child, that boy, perhaps her had a perspective that was a piece of what was missing in our automated understanding, a perspective that would open up our conceptual understanding of this world, to such an extent that the abuse going on in this world would diminish simply by adding the perspective of this human, this man, this child, this expression of life, this piece of earth, this being that is here and thus a support for the whole, as in all actuality, creation would only form a structure as that which supports it. Thus, it is only the blueprint created by the human on top of physical reality that is the problem. It is limited and thus in its limitation destructive, and the self direction from this blueprint without the use of the common sense that built this blueprint in every breath, creates a destructive automaton that destroys through dis-allowance of the voice of ALL of our children.
And we wonder why there are so many behavioral problems in middle school. Perhaps it is simply that it is impossible for these children to fit into such a limited design.
Go and try to correct a large group of  seventh grade papers, and see if you move as judgement within an automated proscription or if you can manage to see the whole,  to see that something is seriously limiting expression within these children. Many of whom have a voice that is astounding, but not allowed practice and development just because it does not fit into a limited prescription.  Try and see/realize your own automation and thus lack of common sense use, this that enables a more inclusive conceptual ability, this being seeing the movement and the form, the process and the outcome, all while remaining aware of the movement and formation of the actual real physical world, in being able to perceptually move within different perspectives, not being afraid to leave the automation behind. Look to your own negative statements of reprimand and your automation self supporting statement of positive reinforcement, caught in this one is not seeing what is here for what it is but flowing a prescription of limited awareness, a detriment to our children, those who by their very voice, have no voice and thus choose what is given, a death of themselves simply because they do not fit a limited set of knowledge and information given without physical experience, the perfect medium to diminish life and only allow that which serves a lesser god of profit before life, this giving what supports life in abundance to a few instead of valuing all life as being the gift, as being what would be supportive of this physical world.
So, the question. Are you an automaton or are you life? If you really look at yourself, more than likely you will realize how much of an automaton you really are.
There are solutions to this at a very basic practical level, to get us away from being automatic as a response. This is changing the system to one that allows change within implementing what allows more perspective in this world and thus more consideration and thus more common sense, more conception that is equal to the without as the world in totality. This is a Living Income Guarantee. This ends the limited viewpoint that some are more than others, and would allow more perspective voice and thus more children the ability to practice their uniqueness, which in essence  are the real gifts, we need only accept them as they allow us, each of us to expand our conceptual ability in becoming equal and one to and as life, here on earth, this cutting edge of creation that is simply the joy of being. Anything else is a crime. That is common sense.
