 IONS Consciousness Transformation Model

“We believe that the more we learn about this complex and mysterious process, the more successful we’ll be in helping individuals, communities, and institutions to cultivate the paradigm shifts that are needed today. To that end and for over a decade, IONS researchers engaged in a series of studies that included analysis of individual narratives of personal transformations; focus groups with teachers of transformative processes; in-depth interviews with 60 representatives of ancient and modern wisdom traditions; surveys of over 2000 people who had experienced their own transformations; and longitudinal studies of people engaged in transformative practices. “

What I am going to do is analyse this transformation model diagram in my own way, focusing primarily on the arrows going off of the main arrow or main course of action. Note that the following is not necessarily IONS analysis of this diagram model. Take note; for anyone who is unable to read English in the diagram, I will only mention the English language in the diagram that is relevant to this post.

The main course of conscious transformation action, depicted as the main arrow, shows steps beginning from Noetic experiences, the start of conscious experiences, to the collective transformation, when we all become as one collective rather than divided individuals. The arrows going off of the main course of action are of individuality, courses that create individualistic realities that are based on what is desired rather than what is needed for the collective to thrive and progress consciously. Often these diversions, that are shown by small arrows, represent self-interest that often inhibit further conscious development.

Note: I have numbered what I call diversions from the main course of action from 1 to 5.

Diversions:

1: Deny the experience; that is of a collective transformation for a more accepted and a consciously conditioned self-interest narrative. Ask yourself, are many of us conditioned to a self-interest narrative, therefore deny anything not of this course?

2: Continual seeking; often for what will serve our self-interests.

3: Practice often becomes end rather than means; which means that anyone of self-interest will only seek an end, not a collective means.

4: Becomes all about me; which says it all in relation to self-interest, what I can get out of life to serve me rather than the we as a collective.

5: Forget “We to Me”; which further reinforces the self-interest narrative and conscious conditioning.

So many distractions on our journey towards the ultimate collective transformation, a consciousness that has no end to it, an eternal consciousness.

Collectivism Scorned in the West

Written By Mathew Naismith

So why are people of a collective mentality in the west scorned by most other people in the west? It is indeed an interesting question as this is exactly what is occurring in western countries at present.

In the west it seems to be immoral to put the collective before individual, believe it or not, putting humanities needs before individual needs and desires. This is no joke, this is exactly what is occurring.

How could it get to a stage that it is immoral to put the collective before the individual in the west?

Actually, the western mind in all of us to start with is of a human trait of putting individual needs before collective needs, this is apart of the western mind set to start with. Depending on the environmental influence within a western society, this trait can vary from a passive state to an aggressive state. Passive simply relates to also wanting to comprehend the collective needs as well, where aggressive is simply about individual needs and desires, full stop.

So how can one determine how aggressive individualistic needs and desires have become?

Try telling the western mind about the trauma that the collective is presently experiencing, the western mind just does not want to know. Mention the harm that covid vaccines are causing, or that paedophilia is being normalised, or that western governments are doing exactly what the individualistic western NWO wants them to. Try informing the many western people who are into spirituality about this collective trauma, they desire not to know, when spirituality is supposed to be all about the collective.

Well, in western countries it would seem that spirituality is about individual needs and desires, while often not desiring to know about the collective trauma. I have been spiritually aware, to one extent or another, since the late 1960's, the change from the spiritual collective mindset to the now individualistic spiritual mindset is quite apparent and obvious. Notice it is now deemed negative in the western spiritual community to speak about anything that exposes this aggressive individualism for what is it. Imagine if Jesus or Buddha were of the same kind of mentality!!

The funny thing is that my wife and I did not choose to go down this path of collectivism, as many people do not choose to go down the path of individualism, it just happens that way. For me, I simply became aware of the difference between aggressive individualism and passive collectivism, in the process simply becoming not of what I thought was more harmful to the collective. The individualistic mindset would be to take note of who has more than me, and not desiring to know what this kind of mentality is going to do to the collective!! I think I was born with a collective mindset to start with. I was brought up in an environment of people serving their individual desires, while others like myself did without because of this. I don't regret doing without so that others can serve their own personal desires, I learnt so much from this, but of course I could have gone down the road of suffering from this as well, which would have ended up with me being of an individualistic mindset!!

It is funny how my own western mindset is so easily offended, in other words traumatised by the obvious and the more obvious it is, the more traumatised this kind of mindset becomes, leading even more to an individualistic mindset therefore reality. All it takes is a bit of self-honesty to avoid going down this road of individualism, which again offends and traumatises the individualistic mindset!!

Middle Ground Humanity

 

Written by Mathew Naismith

Seen as I am conditioned to a foreground reality or environment, as in a western civilisation, I can speak from actual foreground humanity experiences.

As is known, the western mind thinks and sees through a foreground reality as the eastern mind thinks more through a background reality. To get a better perspective of this think in these terms, that the western mind set individualism is of the foreground reality and the eastern mind set of collectivism is of the background reality.

“Generally speaking - there are many exceptions - people in the West tend to be more individualist, and people from Asian countries like India, Japan or China tend to be more collectivist. “

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20170118-how-east-and-west-think-in-profoundly-different-ways

There is also a middle ground, a reality that is of both foreground and background realities. It is like in photography, were a good photographer will take note of not just the foreground and background but the middle ground as well. Certain photo shots, like a photo of a model, are focusing primarily on the foreground reality, where a photo shot of the sunset is primarily focused on the background reality. A good photographer will take note of the middle ground, if applicable, in both cases.

I look at it like this. Like a good photographer, a spiritual minded persons of wisdom will take note of the foreground, background and middle ground simultaneously. In an existence of extreme foreground and background created realities, this practice of also focusing on the middle ground reality, the adjoining reality to foreground and background realities, is not easy to focus on as you would expect. Ever wonder where wisdom has vanished to in relation to humanity, in as existence of extreme realities!!

In western countries, the middle income earner is dramatically shrinking, while in eastern countries middle income earners are on the rise. The biggest tax contributes to the collective is being eroded away in western countries!! The present homeless problem in the west is representative of the background, a background created by people primarily focused on the foreground, individualism. I am not saying that this only happens in western countries either, just that it is presently occurring in the west on quite a massive scale. Once any reality or society is governed by people primarily focused on the foreground, individualism, homeless people are sure to be a byproduct of this kind of self-centred reality. Be it an extreme of foreground or back ground realities, primarily focusing on individualism or collectivism, homelessness and the lack of middle income earners is sure to follow.

So the rise of middle income earners in the west in the past was a wise move by the western mind, the focusing on the middle ground as well!! Well, no. Who did this middle income earner reality serve the most? The very same people who created a reality of middle income earners. At no time did the middle income earner serve the collective, without primarily serving the individualism within society/humanity, the people primarily focused on the foreground. The foreground is all about what you can get out of society, not what you can give society.

Now imagine a society or humanity that is primarily focused on the middle ground, a reality that adjoins both foreground and background realities!! In other words a reality that is created on the back of wisdom, a middle ground existence.

Honesty Within One's Truth

Written by Mathew Naismith

The following is simply of my own reflection.

As I wrote recently.

“I am so glad I do the research I do, yes, even if it costs me friends and acquaintances.

It is not that I don't value friendship, it is just that I value honesty more than I do friendship, especially when the truth is based on honesty. Yes, I do have friends that value my honesty within my truth as I do theirs, even when we are not of each others or living within each others truth or reality.

Yes, I do become critical of people's reality that are of the truth expressed in the absence of honesty. To be honest in your expressions with your friends and acquaintances, one must first be honest with themselves, this seems to be becoming a rare trait in people these days.”

“No one is more hated than he who speak the truth.”

Plato

Truth told in the absence of honesty is simply a distortion of reality, and the more the truth is told in the absence of honesty, the more one's reality becomes distorted.

Mathew G (me)

In observation of the west, which seems to be severely undermined internally as well as externally, the absence of honesty as well as integrity and wisdom seems to be taking it's toll. It is like observing the inaction's that are going on in the west, inaction's simply being of the absence of actions. The absence of or lacking of honesty, integrity and wisdom are like inaction's. When we only focus on the actions, which seems to be deliberately orchestrated, the inaction's that we are not focusing on distort reality even more so, more than the actions. An example of this. Putin wants a peaceful resolution in regards to Ukraine, but the Wests inaction's to a peaceful resolution is obvious. I think NATO's ever expansion, which is an action, is not to create peace, quite the opposite it would seem. Notice the absence of any peace keeping force in Ukraine and the West bank and Gaza!! Look at the distortion this absence has created!!

Is the western hemisphere of the western mind more focused on actions than inaction's, as it is known that the western mind will focus more on the foreground than the background as opposed to the eastern hemisphere mind? Both western and eastern hemisphere mind sets has it's own truth, which often creates a reality based on what is desired rather than what is of actual reality. This is not of a lie, it is simply of the absence of self-honesty.

So what creates honesty within the truth we tell?

“For only in the absence of bias is there real truth”. This statement of mine says it all, honesty is created in the absence of biases. Where is all the present energy going, like wealth, power and control? Presently to this western NWO, New World Order, agenda. This energy is not being distributed throughout humanity, it is being channelled to a bias entity, the NWO. Yes, this NWO is notably excessively biased therefore of the absence of honesty altogether. Notice that reality for a lot of people in the west is presently distorted, by no mistake? It seems this NWO wants to kill off 95% of the worlds population, which does not include their own NWO top people!!

Once a society is of the absence of honesty, integrity and wisdom, a distorted reality will surely follow. The distortion within this NWO seems to be massive, why anyone would want to be this distorted within themselves is beyond me. Yes, there are many material gains and pleasures to be had distorting reality/energy but in all honesty, imagine a world that could be created by not distorting reality, distorting energy period to suite one's own biases!! A world of the absence of distorted energy flows........
