The truth is...on a need to know basis

In November 1976 during President-elect Jimmy Carter's intelligence briefing provided by the CIA he allegedly asked: "I want to have the information that we have on UFOs and extraterrestrial intelligence. I want to know about this as President."

According to Marcia Smith, (then Director of the Science and Technology Division of the Library of Congress' Congressional Research Service), George Bush Snr, (then Director of the CIA) said: "No . . . that he wasn’t going to give this to him . . . that this was information that existed on a need to know basis only. Simple curiosity on the part of the President wasn’t adequate."

People hope that if we just get the right person in charge then things will turn around. But our idea of who is in charge is completely different to who is actually in charge. Intelligent, visionary, good-hearted men and women have seemingly been 'in charge' but ultimately have only been able to go so far.

This doesn't mean we stop trying to get people with integrity into positions of leadership. But we have to know that this is one side of a double-sided record. On the other side are all the forces at work doing everything possible to stop that person from actioning the will of the people.

Meanwhile the will of the people is at boiling-point, syncing nicely with the awakening to both the corruption in the world and our own inner power to opt out, to call bullshit, to share truth and refuse to be puppets on a string anymore.

Reading official stories on things, or watching things like the election play out, it reminds me of that scene in Seinfeld when Elaine broke the news to Jerry that she had faked every orgasm.

J: "What about the breathing, the moaning, the panting, the screaming?"

E: "Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!"

Seeing this fakery is a piece of the puzzle, revealing the big picture of our right to truth, freedom and power over our lives.

(Un) Holy Fires

Sunday was the Orthodox Easter. Over the next 24 hours, the following churches were set on fire:

Serbian Orthodox Church in New York

Greek Orthodox Church in Melbourne

Macedonian Orthodox Church in Sydney

Russian Orthodox Monastery in Russia

The media are reporting this as unrelated incidents. For F sake!! I feel like slapping news reporters sometimes but then I remember all the stories I have heard from journalists who try to do the right thing and report truth: usually, they are told exactly what they can say and what they can't, and these days a lot of news readers are reading straight off a script that has been sent to thousands of stations. It's either that or lose your job, and the good ones stay to try to make some sort of a positive difference.

Anyway, back to the topic, I have no idea who orchestrated this or why. If you've ever gone inside an Orthodox Church you'd know they are covered in beautifully painted iconic art. Aside from destroying a community's place of prayer, it is like desecrating a sacred art gallery.

What kind of inner rage and lack of connection to common decency does a person have to have to set fire to a church? Or really, to destroy anything? How is this different to acts of war? It's not. It's all inner rage exploded outward.

At the end of the day, this kind of thing only serves to strengthen and further bond the communities affected. You can't burn that which makes us strongest: love, faith, unity, goodness.

My heart goes out to all the communities affected.
