Brexit

Healing for broken and empty words ….

After an interesting process of being interviewed by The Hull Daily Mail and after flinching just a little from the online headline, I have come to a few realisations as I saw the finished article.

“Unseen leader of the world”, now there’s a headline you don’t see every day in a newspaper!

The newspaper changed the story headline for the printed page version.

So, what is happening with this publicity?

Marianne Williamson, a spiritual teacher who also happens to be standing as a candidate in the 2020 US Presidential process has said that at a time when outrageous lies are being told by global leaders, then those that can should tell outrageous truths.

The ability to shock with a statement is a Sufi hallmark that is recorded in stories throughout the centuries and millennia that The Folk have been recorded as being teachers. So the headline of the online version of my interview is an outrage that has a context.

My work is and has been a matter of public record on my blogs now for six years and Diction Resolution Therapy (DRT) has been available for three years. My social media presence on Facebook and Twitter over these years has been mainly dedicated to my work identifying stuck or broken addiction as the bellwether disease of an era change.

I have built a relationship with my local radio station BBC Radio Humberside since they kindly broadcast the opening of DRT in July 2016 and I have given brief interviews on air for them as addiction matters have periodically entered their news broadcasts over the subsequent years.

This exposure of my work in an article by the Hull Daily Mail allows me clarify it on my blog, to focus the work of the journalist into a more pinpointed outrageous truth.

The journalist who interviewed me is very capable and she has done her best with a deep and problematic phenomenon, namely that Addiction is a primary disease that is not being seen as such by the medical Establishment, whilst also writing about a Sufi quite possibly for the first time in a local Hull story.

A Sufi historically is usually a hidden person, who even if they are known in their locality becomes a paradox, often seen as a holy fool by the orthodox religious people of their particular time and cultural setting.

A Sufi has often been seen as only placed in an Islamic context, this is not necessarily so, for wherever One Love is, there the Sufi is, was and will be.

At this time therefore, my presence as a Sufi is to orientate with the beauty of the Islamic perfection of Muhammad (pbuh) whilst also being able to be connecting all of Abraham’s people with the whole of the Eastern hemisphere’s spirituality as the HU man healing.

I connect HU with AUM as That that’s never actually been separated in essence at all, ever, just as these two poems from the thirteenth century expose – the first is from Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi and the second from Jalalludin Rumi.

“O marvel, a garden amidst the flames –
My heart has become capable of every form: it is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks,
And a temple for idols and the pilgrim’s Ka’ba and the tables of the Tora and the book of the Qur’an.
I follow the religion of Love: whatever way Love’s camels take,
that is my religion and my faith.”

“Come, come whatever you are, it doesn’t matter
Whether you are an infidel, an idolater or a
fire-worshiper,
Come, our convent is not a place of despair.
Come, even if you violated your swear
A hundred times, come again.”

The core of Diction Resolution Therapy is in the curing of the word “addiction”.

Once the word addiction is healed and forensically restored to a healthy place on a flow chart describing the executive function of a viable person, then the prevailing cultural conditions of this time can be seen more clearly.

As the broken and empty words that describe the collapse of an ill person are seen to correlate with the broken and empty words of an ill system, then the behaviours of the global politicians can be seen in their actual context of collapse.

Once this collapse is seen, healing can begin.

The reason that my work is now appearing in a manner that seems to be challenging the orthodox methodologies clinically as well as the orthodox methodologies theologically is that that is what is necessary as this page from an Idries Shah book shows:

When words are broken and empty as in the UK Parliamentary drama that is being watched from around the globe, Consciousness responds to help individuals and leaders to begin to diagnose their difficulties in a way that gives a better chance of their problems becoming solved.

Post script added 10/10/19 from my Facebook profile:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-49182184

If a person were to search for an “unseen leader of the world” on Google, perhaps in a reaction away from many of the “seen leaders of the world”, then the BBC headline might become even more clear!!

The Sufi, as a paradox is not limited to Islam or in fact to any exoteric religion, is limited perhaps only by their onlookers’ receptivity of limitless Love.

The seen leader of the free world in 2019 describes himself regularly as “a very stable genius”. I listen to this and smile at the warped and twisted reflection of the “seen from the unseen” as I have a clinical supervisor vouchsafing for the stability of my therapeutic service and I am a member of Mensa!

So as an externally verifiable “very stable genius” myself, I listen to the seen leader of the world and try to find areas of compatibility with his self-validated utterances from his self-proclaimed position as a “very stable genius”, to no avail!

The reaction to the headline written about me locally was just about zilch …. it might as well have said “green eyed alien lands his flying saucer on roof of City Hall”, for that headline wouldn’t surprise people either in the febrile atmosphere brought about by the eleven years of the global post bank-crash cartoon that has culminated in the UK with its last three years of frozen Brexit.

My blog at http://www.lifeisreturning.com has reached a “warped and twisted” point of bewilderment as events nationally and internationally continue their reciprocal duels in the dark.

This moment of my experience is actually breathtakingly beautiful, has no longing for a more glorious past nor any longing for a more spectacular future.

So, I’m inclined for a while to make sure that I frame any of my further comments about the seen world and its leadership proclamations more clearly from this, my revealed place of search-engined authority, just to see how “stable and/or genius” any erstwhile leadership reflection actually is and to explore the requirement for “respect”.

Salaam.

A Facebook Postman

Thanks to James Souttar for being a catalyst ….

The position for us in the body of Mankind reminds me of the terror that Gurdjieff talked about, the Russian Doll connectivity that renders us as energy beings oft bewildered as we grapple with the ancient control mechanisms of materiality and its collective dynamic.

When the body of an addict dies, most of the material stuff on a cellular level is viable, but the life-force seeps away.

So with Mankind and the mechanical protocols of the necessary systems of control that utilitarian imperatives have produced to manage essential services for masses of people.

The possibility of Human leadership overriding protocols when necessary can often seem indistinguishable from a dictator’s take over of the body politic.
Are Trump and Johnson part of God’s cure for the collapsing orthodoxy or are they the 4th Reich?

I have grappled with God to get Him to be clear with me.

The only way that I have to be clear is the illness paradigm that can bring leaders of good-will together knowing that they are on the right track.

But you’re right, the tricky bit for a person and more so for Corporations and Nations, the tricky bit is to accept that they are ill and not to blame.

The body of Mankind could to all intents and purposes die suddenly and soon. That is the irreducible message that I have been giving for nearly ten years.

It is a message given by Attenborough at the UN recently but using a different vernacular.

I know my message is almost impossible to receive practically, what are we to do with it?

There is an almost impregnable issue of Grace that attends the survivability or lack of survivability when looking at the millions of successful recovery stories in the 12 Step possibility over the last 85 years. Why do some people survive and ten times more never even get through to the first few steps, even after landing at the doors of recovery?

What’s more, how can any analysis of this mystery be made practical enough to guide people living in the dying body of an addictive system today?

In a common or garden addict, the body gives up even trying to communicate with its Executive function.

The fat body stops saying that it’s full, the drunk body never has time for a hangover, the gambler never stops long enough to tally up, the religion addict collapses into terrorism, the sex addict keeps blowing up the bubbles of their particular form of anaesthesia and on and on.

So, is there a common denominator across the different forms of personal Addiction that can give a clue as to how to suggest people might act when waking up to the fact that they’re trapped inside the body of an addictive system?

Is it permissible to see that politicians’ partisan ideologies can binge upon whole Nations plunging them into total war?

First and foremost, don’t panic. When the body truly knows it’s in trouble there seems to be a direct connection to Spirit that animals enjoy.

As people we need to let the leaders know that they’re ill, not bad, not stupid …. just ill.
This is the first step.

In my practice I have treated many previously successful people who truly had no idea why their previously successful strategies were now killing them.

Only when they truly accepted that they had a disease did their shoulders relax and all of their formidable will-power could then be unhooked from their disease and reconnected to their recovery.

Those that couldn’t accept that they were ill, died.

Problems

All my problems seem so solid, only solutions flow. I seem solid, although quantum physics tells me that all matter is made up of mainly empty space. The forces of attraction and repulsion seem solid, as matter is pressed against me or as I press upon some matter’s place.

Existential matters seem heavy as though they weigh unkind upon my mind.

Financial matters seem like actual things that knot together and insist upon a form, upon formal meetings with a choreographed manner of processing what’s due where, to whom, when and what for, in a matter of due diligence, contracted service, work, payment and statements as receipts.

All breath flows, in and out. My blood flows across expansion and contraction, my food digests within a peristalsis of squeeze and release. Everything that is living flows, conversation flows, air, water and electricity flows, love flows.

It doesn’t seem to me, at times that my life is flowing, that it is within necessary boundaries, pressured and purposeful, pumping it’s energy toward a goal; that it’s much fun.

God calls me to return to Love’s flow, in the here and now. Who is the miser of my misery? Not He who makes all, but the he or she who would try make small the beauty of Her face.

I’ve written and written blog entries, social media posts and tweets. It seems a …. long drawn out debt …. man of words, a merely sent invoice for my time’s blood, seeping from a gash of an amateur’s concern for a professional game never really played. It seems that my past life has been nothing but a secret, leaked.

So for now farewell, my android’s metaphoric pen must cap: my leaky way become more light, more robust if I’m to survive, escape and pay down my debt to those who would prefer to see me dead, like them.

Only solutions flow.

“Say Allah then leave them to plunge in vain discourse and trifling” ….

(No just estimate of Allah do they make when they say: “Nothing doth Allah send down to man (by way of revelation)” Say: “Who then sent down the Book which Moses brought? – a light and guidance to man: But ye make it into (separate) sheets for show, while ye conceal much (of its contents): therein were ye taught that which ye knew not – neither ye nor your fathers.” Say: “(Allah) (sent it down)”: Then leave them to plunge in vain discourse and trifling. – Al Qur’an 6:91 (Y. Ali) )

The Question

At this time of historic Parliamentary chaos for the UK, this quote from Jung is the only “in/out” vote that the UK faces, the vote that #Brexit mimics. This question reflects the power at the very core of the 12 Step Programme.

This is the affirmative message of Diction Resolution Therapy (DRT) the very reason for my work as ‘Abd al-Mu’min al-Jāmi’ ibn Hulli, the only reason that you are reading this now.

“The decisive question for man is: Is he related to something infinite or not? That is the telling question of his life. Only if we know that the thing which truly matters is the infinite can we avoid fixing our interests upon futilities, and upon all kinds of goals which are not of real importance. Thus we demand that the world grant us recognition for qualities which we regard as personal possessions: our talent or our beauty. The more a man lays stress on false possessions, and the less sensitivity he has for what is essential, the less satisfying is his life. He feels limited because he has limited aims, and the result is envy and jealousy. If we understand and feel that here in this life we already have a link with the infinite, desires and attitudes change.”

— “Memories, Dreams, Reflections” (CG Jung)

From the text of the book Alcoholics Anonymous, the book that published the 12 Step Programme in the 1930s, comes this posing of the question ….

“Our friend was a minister’s son. He attended church school, where he became rebellious at what he thought an overdose of religious education. For years thereafter he was dogged by trouble and frustration.

Business failure, insanity, fatal illness, suicide —these calamities in his immediate family embittered and depressed him. Post-war disillusionment, ever more serious alcoholism, impending mental and physical collapse, brought him to the point to self-destruction.

One night, when confined in a hospital, he was approached by an alcoholic who had known a spiritual experience. Our friend’s gorge rose as he bitterly cried out: “If there is a God, He certainly hasn’t done anything for me!”

But later, alone in his room, he asked himself this question: “Is it possible that all the religious people I have known are wrong?”

While pondering the answer he felt as though he lived in hell. Then, like a thunderbolt, a great thought came. It crowded out all else:

“Who are you to say there is no God?”

This man recounts that he tumbled out of bed to his knees. In a few seconds he was overwhelmed by a conviction of the Presence of God. It poured over and through him with the certainty and majesty of a great tide at flood. The barriers he had built through the years were swept away.

He stood in the Presence of Infinite Power and Love. He had stepped from bridge to shore. For the first time, he lived in conscious companionship with his Creator. Thus was our friend’s cornerstone fixed in place. No later vicissitude has shaken it. His alcoholic problem was taken away. That very night, years ago, it disappeared.

Save for a few brief moments of temptation the thought of drink has never returned; and at such times a great revulsion has risen up in him. Seemingly he could not drink even if he would. God had restored his sanity.

What is this but a miracle of healing? Yet its elements are simple. Circumstances made him willing to believe. He humbly offered himself to his Maker —then he knew.

Even so has God restored us all to our right minds. To this man, the revelation was sudden. Some of us grow into it more slowly. But He has come to all who have honestly sought Him.

When we drew near to Him He disclosed Himself to us!”

So then, it seems that an overwhelming urgency, a preparation of the personal place, unique conditions that are often painful through disease, abuse, war, sudden realisation of a true situation as against illusion (as in the case of The Buddha walking away from a rich privileged life), collective adversity as can be seen in the microcosms of both Moses and Muhammad (pbuh), all of this and more has prompted people in the past to ask Jung’s question …. “Is he related to something infinite or not?”

So the conditions cited in the opening of this post are contextualised.

For good or ill?

Mankind is a programmable and a highly conditionable phenomenon. The description here of how youngsters are desensitised offers an insight into the training of any persons who then have to work in conflict zones. The only difference is context, the ‘dition’ of the chain of command, whether there is any connection left in the process with ‘love’ as an arbiter of conscience toward Humankind as against an agenda that is about an enemy to a particular version of Mankind.

These descriptions are about illness. These descriptions are about ‘diction’ and ‘dition’ and the hijacking of a dictionary, the corruption of meaning away from a Universal Love that is synonymous with Humankind.

Whether apparently self-induced or induced by the induction process of a programmer attached to a ’cause’, the end results of the inevitable developmental conditionability of Mankind are only ultimately measurable in terms of ‘good or ill’ rather than ‘good or evil’.

Good-will is Universal, ill-will is always partisan and sectarian. This is the difference between healthy addiction and stuck-addiction.

This disease of ill-will, this stuck-ness and paralysis of Executive function whether in personal or systemic bodies, wherever and however it manifests, is attended to by Diction Resolution Therapy.

The 2017 UK General Election

The politics in the UK is foggy because the two main party leaders have both suffered from heart and head dissonance even more than is occupationally usual for politicians.
Before the Conservative Party was forced into a Referendum on EU membership by the ‘what you see is what you get’ (WYSIWYG) rhetoric by Nigel Farage and his many years of political consistency, Theresa May was at heart a ‘remainer’ on the EU spectrum.
Jeremy Corbyn on the other hand, in his heart was an ‘exiter’ on the EU spectrum.
So, in the run up to the Referendum vote, the WYSIWYG power of the heart/head authenticity of Farage, regardless of the analysis of the exit argument in financial or sociological terms, began to affect the debates because people are hard wired to resonate to a heart/head authenticity, whatever the modern theories of communication might try to say about such a ‘spiritual’ statement.
The Conservative position weakened as previous remainers such as Boris Johnson further fogged the heart/head channels from Executive to social body.
Theresa May and her intimates saw the shifting ground and her head separated from her heart and from her leader David Cameron, as she prepared her coup.
Jeremy Corbyn never connected to his heart/head power that comes through in the impassioned voice unmistakeably, so he was unable to lead an effective Labour remain campaign, which simply amplified the inevitabilty of the authenticity of the heart/head exiters.
Now, post Brexit, an interesting though still very foggy dynamic presents in Theresa May’s flawed gamble for more power.
Her gamble is intellectual and head based, but from a personal configuration of a pre-existing heart/head split, she is still in her suffering prostituted heart a remainer. So her voice lacks real unmistakable passion and energy, in fact it is often tremulous rather than tremendous despite her clever quips.
Jeremy Corbyn however, though having to accept a Labour party flavouring of remain, he is now reconnected to an authentic heart/head power configuration as a long-time exiter, which is already showing in the power of his speeches and their actual connectivity potential to an audience anciently wired to recognise heart/head dynamics.
The Lib Dems even have more heart/head appeal than the disconnected words of Theresa May.
As the campaign goes on it will become clear why she is so frightened of being directly compared in debate with her more connected opponents and she is hoping to be able to simply ‘head bash’ audiences with reporters getting heartless soundbites that are designed to feed pollsters.
