What do Consciousness, Ethics, and the leadership of the GOP have in common? At this moment - nothing... let me explain.
My quest for a better understanding of creation, the existence of man, and our purpose of being led me to an interesting delve into the study of the Mayan Calendar - and a different perspective in understanding not the existence of man as an object, but the evolution of Consciousness as an understanding of creation.
I won't go into depth about the Mayans, other than to say that the understanding of their calendar shares an understanding of creation - the understanding of tools of this evolution - and the understanding of the ultimate development of consciousness (Heaven on earth, new Jerusalem, Oneness, etc - depending on your religious beliefs).
"What you pay attention to, you become conscious of" - Ian Lungold
The evolution of consciousness would indicate that total awareness, total consciousness, requires the ability to pay attention to all things... The mind cannot do this - the mind is limited to "24 frames per second" processing... The evolution of consciousness requires one to escape from the tool of the mind, like man escaped from the tool of the monkey tail, and use intuition...
Intuition, the final evolution of consciousness, requires a solid base... cellular, familiar, tribal, power, and ethical evolution are all required... The first three are accomplished - we are all humans living in societies... We have basic understandings of laws/rules... and with those, comes power... the evolution of power requires Morals.
Morals are a blanket solution to spontaneous situations. The laws of Moses - commandments of God... those are Morals... You must weigh the consequences of your actions, and follow your moral code of conduct. This is in reference to the "affirmation" list I provided a few postings ago... If you cannot subscribe to a solid form of Morals, you cannot evolve - that is, your consciousness cannot evolve. You are not aware of the world in which you live... This is the state of our GOP leadership... we cannot find leadership - not because it doesn't exist - but because it doesn't exist at the level of consciousness that WE THE PEOPLE demand... there is the gate to Ethics...
The Moral failings of our leaders is a driving factor of the Ethical failings of our leaders.
Ethics are a spontaneous solution to spontaneous situations. If your consciousness is not aware of the moral base of right v. wrong, your ethical decisions will be corrupted - examples: Sen. Larry Craig's sex tryst, Madoff's ponzy schemes, Bush's Bailouts, McCain's response to the Economic Crisis (suspending his campaign), Obama's Stem Cell decision... leaders in our nation unable to become full aware of the outcomes of their spontaneous decisions...
The evolution of Ethical Consciousness is disallowing the embrace of flawed leadership within our party... it is not Jindal... it is not Steele... it is not Limbaugh... The leaders who have risen to power have done so under the tools of a lower stage of conscious evolution - power... but they continue to fail in the next phase - ethics...
There is a leader in the Republican Party... it is the intuition of the constituents - intuition is your own personal knowledge/power... If we have fear or doubt about a leader, it is our intuition telling us that they lack the conscious evolution necessary to lead our evolved society...
When a leader is strong enough to implement the affirmations in my previous blog, understands not just the moral but the ethical implications of their actions, and shows the evolved intuition that we are all demanding - then we will see a leader...
When we realize that we do not need a leader to succeed - that we all have the power to change the party and lead on our individual level - then we will see that we are consciously evolved...
Until then, we will continue to see jesters playing the part of kings.

The GOP apparently still has a lot of evolving to do. But one wonders if extinction isn't the better way for it to go. Perhaps if the "Party of Lincoln" joined the Great Emancipator in his bone-filled grave, *conservatism* might see a new day.
Jonesie -
ReplyDeletebased on the understanding of the above discussion, the natural course for non-evolution is extinction... par example: Neanderthal - no change in way of life for 100,000 years... it was not unto Cro Magnum came along that Neanderthal adopted some small jewelry, etc - these were individual co-existing with the evolved species, adapted, mated with, and most likely moved their genes down the line... the others that failed to adapt or evolve - well, we know what happened to them (and no, insurance commercials is NOT the correct answer).
The GOP cannot simply look for leaders who have adopted techniques from the competition - we must have folks who see, know, and understand the future of the party...
It appears that it is in the cards for our party, and the party system as a whole to dissolve. The impacts being a more radicalized, less moderate society... wait - isnt that what has happened due to both parties being two sides of the same coin?
