Handbook for the New Paradigm

“I” am not writing this material.  Only transmitting it.  I have been a disseminator of this information for a few years now, so, I am now posting it up here.  I will post a new section weekly.

Respose to REVOLUTION v EVOLUTION - read this second

Argus said Oct 3, 2006, 2:29 PM:

 


I should not have attempted to begin or be involved in a discourse in regards to the Handbook.  I started the pod simply to put it out there…to be a messenger.  I felt pushed into mediating this pod beyond simply publishing the material, and after having become involved, and being who I am…Let me repeat that….simply by being who I am, I am now getting shot from several different sides, not to mention the sides that I don't talk about in this forum. 

The only position I have ever taken is one of the neccessity of allowing evolution to take place rather than fight against it or joining forces with those who are actively fighting against it.

If you remember back, I had made the statement that we do not know who initially recieved the information.  Shortly afterwards, I found the website (and posted links to it) of someone claiming to be the initial reciever and transcriber.  I also voiced my doubts as to that individual's sincerity considering his website was considerably newer than the material, and I spent many long hours doing internet research to try and find the guy, but never did.  Now, this guys nomorehoaxes.com website is one of the first things that pops up in a baseline google search.  Where was it before?  Anyway,  things will never be the same again.  It will never be one second ago ever again.  And that one second ago resides solely within the confines of mind, that's the only place it ever has dwelt.

And as such, I have been trying to avoid any interpretation at all, and I did not want to start other threads and discussions around it.  I did so because I was asked, and felt (and its my own fault for allowing myself to feel that way) obliged to comply.  But if you browse back through the other posts, you'll see that I don't have much to say about the material itself at all.  Do you know why?  BECAUSE I AM IN NO WAY QUALIFIED TO INTERPRET IT.  Shit, I don't even quote the material beyond the occasional mention and I only paraphrase.  I grew up around fundamentalist Christianity and I have had verbatim bible quotes thrown at me all my life, and I can't particip[ate in that type of behaviour because it has already been done and shown to not work.

Those words in that Declaration of Sovereignty you quoted were taken directly from the original Declaration of Independance, and those were the words of Thomas Jefferson.  And I do firmly believe that I have the RIGHT to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in whatever form I define for myself.  I also believe that I have the personal responsibility to not use (or mis-use) that right to deprive others of their identical rights.  My happiness does not come before the happiness of others (in my own personal paradigm).

We see the signs every day.  Every single generation that has come before us has said that theirs was the one when it would all happen, and now that bitter cynicism has set well in, and in many peoples eyes its never going to happen.  That this is the greatest civilisation and most advanced culture in human history, but we all too easily forget that “His Story” is always written by the victors of war and conquer.  That is why it is His Story.

This is all I have ever worked towards living (and this is from your email to me:

“If as Andrew Cohen has said - human incarnation is not intended to be living to fulfil the desires of ego -  but individual responsibility to switch,  as a result of the activation of  conscious choice,   to assuming the burden of  positive & qualitative evolution - and that that switch is a big thing  - and furthermore that  - there is an elegant simplicity to all I'm saying … it's very satisfying … it's very simple really … it's not complicated … it just takes time for people to get it  … when you get it it's very simple ….”

And it is a very simple personal decision, and it is a HUGE BURDEN, but it is having the strength to continue in that decision with deliberate intent no matter how much of a burden it is.  Saying out loud; “God Damnit this is how I'm going to live my life, and if it makes me happy then why can't you just leave me the fuck alone and let me pursue happiness?!”  Saying; “I do not want to live in a world beset by corporate madness, out of control government behemoths, dirty cops, dirty teachers, dirty congressmen, and just dirty old men in general.  I'm tired of jumping through the hoops of the crooked who have placed themselves on pedestals so high they can't even see the top of my head anymore and the validity of my existence has been relegated down to a number that can be deleted at the push of a button.  I am working towards living positive and qualitative evolution…on a global scale without a single thought to my own well being.

Did you know I have already been threatened by the FBI once for this?  I am facing spending the rest of my days in a dank government cell for telling my experience of the truth.  Simply stating that I saw that no airplane hit the pentagon…that I was a witness to that lie puts me in danger.  Yet still I continue on until I am either arrested for being a patriot or killed for it.

So no.  No cult here, I wish nothing to do with it, and the mere suggestion of it signals my time of departure.  My very first statements on this pod aside from posting up the book was to state my reluctance to do ANYTHING more than post it.  The discussion was for you guys, I was never supposed to have a part in it and I never wanted a part in it.  Do you have any idea what I go through on a daily basis?  My social life is nothing.  The people I associate with accuse me of being a bullshit artist, and I have never done anything to deserve that except tell the truth as I experienced it.  I have been suicidal.  Extremely depressed.  Angry.  Infuriated.  All of it when I seek to associate with other people.  The only crime I am guilty of is not keeping that dirty secret that my incestuous uncle told me to keep.  The only crime I am guilty of is being the messenger, and now I am broken.  I am done.  Maybe I'm taking this too personally but I can't help but feel from the tone, and maybe tone is hard to convey in an electronic format, but it seems to me that I am being accused of trying to start a god damn cult around this.  FUCK THAT.  FUCK THAT FUCK THAT FUCK THAT.  I will have nothing to do with it.

One of the things that the Handbook states is to think the thought and let it go.  Well, I'm letting it go.  I am giving the pod over to Yosyama and I will not be a part of it anymore.  It is too much for me, I have so many things going on in my life right now and I have been giving it all away, and thats what I'm supposed to do, but there are other people out there, and as long as I don't try to stick around and make 'friends' with anyone everything seems to go smoothly.  I am only a messenger, and everyone wants to shoot the messenger, just as I feel as I am being shot at now.

I am taking my personal information off the site, and closing my other pods.  I will still respond to emails for a while, but I will not respond to anything I feel to be psychologically hostile.  I have had a horrible fucking day, and this takes the cake.  Don't kill the messenger he says….What the hell do you think you're doing?

It's been real.  It's been fun.  But all good things must soon come to an end.  You can either allow the process to take place naturally which makes for a smooth transition, or you can stir everything up and make it suck.  One way or another, all things come to their transition point.

I have been a messenger ALL my life and have forever being shot down for the message which I have conveyed - but have come to terms with - not  taking this too personally  - & the reason - completely unconnected with you or the Handbook - that I posted my Don't KILL the Messenger blog in the first instance.

I know not from whatever other quarters your perceived criticism has ensued - but my own REVOLUTION v EVOLUTION posting was genuinely made to pay ABSOLUTE respect for what you had posted in its entirety - if it were to be seen in the context of the switch.

You may indeed be of a mind that responsibilities follow on from rights but I continue to propose that any  manifesto of universal parcipitative action must - as a priority - be driven by motives of responsibility which would themselves convey the rights of  Life, Liberty  and the pursuit of Happiness.

That has been my perspective of the Handbook from the outset - and continues to be so - but as I have oft quoted Winston Churchill as saying - the UK & the US are two nations separated by the same language - & perhaps it is this statement and others pertaining to potential misunderstandings on the part of others - that are at the heart of your own reaction at this transition point.

I thank you for all your time and effort and wish you well for the future
