How Inner Government Will Replace Outer Government


How Inner Government Will Replace Outer Government

Democracy is not the be all and end all of human social structure. The next step is Inner Government. Outer government has proved too imperfect and now many people are wanting something better...and it is beginning to manifest.

Inner Government is spiritual. It might even have been already imagined in the literature of science fiction. But it definitely is being moved towards by millions of people these days...each in their own ways.

This is the final frontier of “government”...as far as I can see. It has many refinements and permutations, but its over-arching indication is that it is within and not without.

Now this will be a big step for many. But there are many who are moving towards it by baby steps and from many different directions. Millions and millions. And I believe that we are being Divinely guided—all of us—no matter what our belief system –religious, ethical, philosophical, political, atheistic or whatever.

We have all been asking for something better in the world and numerous attempts to create something better on the physical plane of reality have been attempted...all with some success...to my mind. Even Hitler was an idealist and wanted something better. He dreamed of a “final Solution” to all the problems of the world. To him the problem with the present social structure was the presences of impure races—Jews, blacks and others. He thought that if he could just get rid of them and enforce his view point all over the world that it would be a better place.

Trump has a similar idea. He is xenophobic too, as are most of his supporters. He sees invasions by “aliens” as the biggest threat to the purity of America.  The pure Aryan race, as Hitler would have called it) is being diluted by people different from “us”-- white, male, common folks. Rich or poor—there are commoners, red necks, salt of the earth guys who are the rightful owners of America. He, nor Hitler really saw women as “aliens” exactly. They don’t want them gone, but just subservient and willing to serve the white males in whatever way he wants.

The only difference I see, at this point anyway, is that while Hitler wanted to change and dominate the whole world with his vision, Trump is more of an egoist. He wants power for himself and feels a kinship to other “rulers” who feel the same as he does—e.g. Putin.  In their egotism (not idealism as Hitler mainly displayed—although he certainly was an egoist as well), and most egoists are also control freaks, they are imperialists openly or covertly—as are both Putin and Trump. Trump right now is grooming Americans for attacking N. Korea with nuclear bombs by filling the news with terrible stories of harsh treatment by the N. Koreans of both foreigners and civilians. He wants everyone to know how awful they treat people, so he will be applauded, supported and justified when he attacks them.

That will be the superficial motivation behind his imperialistic aims...the spread of Communism no longer being adequate. But his real aim is inner and psychological—just as everyone’s are. He is angry and frightened from having been raised in a left-brained culture that squelched so much of his natural humanity. And he is reacting in the most common—but incorrect—ways that humans do to the oppression he was subjected to as a child. He is paying it forward. He is trying to get rid of his anger and pain by finding others similar to himself and blaming them; making them the target of his anger. He is hoping to obliterated this most recent target—N. Korea (which is doing exactly the same psychological thing –a match literally made in heaven—and is subconsciously hoping to get rid of his inner angst—his feelings of powerlessness, fear and anger by expressing them on someone very much like himself. Someone who feels that power is outside of the self and that the only choice is to be a victim or a perpetrator. Both victims and perpetrators are perfect complements to each other—again—both believing that power is outside of the self—and you are a winner or a loser.

All wrong.

But just now, as I washing out the compost bucket I had a revelation. They happen during the most mundane tasks—washing dishes, taking a shower, ironing, sweeping.  

What I suddenly understood how the seemingly HUGE step from and belief in outer Government to true and ever more complete awareness of the already extant Inner Government will take place.

It will happen one person at a time—but that is enough—because enormous influence comes with ever growing awareness of Inner Government.

Inner Government, as I said above, already exists. Every single soul on the planet is already governed by it. However, once one becomes aware of this Inner Government, one becomes cooperative and much more effective in one’s participation in it. One is free to not believe in it and to oppose it, but eventually everyone realizes that they are opposing themselves in their highest form. And so they change from outer-directed to inner-directed and then things begin to get better for them. We all have an Inner Being, who is a vaster part of our self. This Self is extremely wise, loving, all seeing, compassionate, kind, patient, tolerant, allowing, understanding, knowledgeable and effective.

 I won’t say powerful, even though we are, at that level, but because that is such a loaded word in our left brain paradigm/. Power here means power over others. It means domination of people, Nature, space, Earth, outer space etc. etc. That is really just manipulation and is empty. Impotent. For the “others” you try to dominate are REALLY YOURSELF. And your personal self and your other-self can at best hold a gun to each other’s head. They will both pull the trigger at the same time. Always. One may die and go to the next level of reality above this one where things will be better, but where they will eventually have to face the fact that they just attempted to kill a part of themselves.

 Life is eternal. It is impossible to permanently kill anyone. But it is a TERRIBLE MISTAKE to kill anyone else for any reason—or to even use force of any kind against another. WE now glorify our warriors, but deep inside each of them knows that they have made a terrible mistake in killing anyone. They come home extremely traumatized. They drink, they do drugs, sex, over-work, they blame...and they hurt others to pass on their pain in a vain attempt to get rid of their inner guilt and anguish.

The only way to rid one’s self of those feelings is to go within to Inner Being—or to whatever Higher Power you believe in or suspect might exist and to ask them for help. Surrender to them. They know how to relieve your pain and to make things better for yourself and everyone.

But getting back to Inner Government. This state is has as its “ruler” your Inner Being. It is You in your finest form. There you are divine. We all have an Inner Being and all of our Inner Beings share a common Inner Being—God. Our personal inner being is our hot-line to God.

God has everything already perfectly organized and arranged for everyone’s best-mutual benefit.  There are no accidents of happenstances. Everything is amazingly coordinated/organized/orchestrated/choreographed. Everything is perfect already. If something bad happens to us it is usually because we shared a belief with our attacker or our misfortune. They were a mirror for us.

When something bad happens, we can take our emotions within and ask Inner Being to hold us while we feel them and to release us from them when the time is right—usually quickly. For Inner Beings quickly apprise us of the true nature of the event. They show us how to cash-in-on-it.

This is a very rewarding feeling. We feel great relief and appreciation for our Inner Being and for the even that occurred that seemed so awful. We learn from it and put the spiritual gold gained into our spiritual purse, our personal soul, which we can take with us on our eternal journey. We get richer and richer this way.

So the left brained paradigm we live in is very outer-directed—and misinformed. Basing our lives and trying to live from what we learn “out-there” leads to a great sense of futility and helplessness. Even if we win the lottery, or score the biggest business or political coup ever off of another, or a social coup or a criminal coup, or “win” a war, we will have gained nothing. It will feel empty very soon. The honey-moon will be over. In the words of Irving Berlin, as song by Marilyn Monroe “When you get what you want, you don’t want it.” She experienced this often in her life...especially with men who desired her strongly, then mistreated her and cast her aside—e.g. John and Ted Kennedy. Many believe they killed her they so did not want what they got. John Kennedy had his aides lead an endless string of whores in to his office via a secret door. None ever satisfied for more than a moment.

So many simply try for more...as in any addiction...love, money, marriages, relationships, higher level of schooling, new place to live, a new book, movie, friend,

 As AA says, “You can’t ever get enough of what you don’t need.”

So what do we need? Inner Government.

This government consists of a personal relationship with one’s Inner Being. The Divine, vaster , non-physical part of oneself that one accesses through feelings, emotions, bodily feelings, intuition, revelation, hunches, childlike performance of any of the arts, and dreams, trance, meditation, prayer—that is praying believing; expecting a yes,  staring at Inner Being for further guidance.

Even if you are terribly lost you can pray for something awful and still be led to a high answer.
It may be step by step. So even if say someone prayed to know the best way to kill their wife. Inner Being—if he/she is trusted by you and you listened to carefully—might say
IB: Allowing Everything, why do you want to kill her?
You: I hate her. But she has money and I’ll inherit if I can kill her secretly.
IB: Allowing Everything (so you don’t feel guilty about your feelings, which can stop the process) do you truly believe that inheriting her money is the best way to get money?
You: Yes.
IB: Can you trust me—who has infinite intelligence/effectiveness/love to find a better way for you to be free from her and for you to have the same amount of money...if not more?
You: Can you really do that?
IB: Absolutely.  It’s easier for me to do that than to allow you to kill her and inherit...although if you insist on that way I will allow it. You will feel guilty though, and you will experience consequences that are not happy, but I will allow it if you absolutely insist. For if you allow that its okay to kill others for money you will attract to yourself another who feels the same towards you. IT is the Law of Attraction.
You: Well, I don’t want that, so I will trust that you can give me more a lot more money and freedom from my wife.

And then Inner Being goes all around the world knowing that there is a cooperative being or event that can be the channel for your money and freedom.  Then soon (if your faith is strong) someone will appear and give you the money. or you will win it; or you’ll suddenly discover that your great aunt Mathilda’s painting on the wall is worth millions. If you have doubt it will still come, but just slower. And as for you being free of your wife, anything might happen. She might meet someone she likes better and divorce you; or have a change of heart and set you free; or suddenly die in a real car accident, or just ask for a long separation with an allowance to you. The possibilities are endless, but Inner Being will find the best one for you if you expect it.

So that is a personal example.

But let’s say you hate a group and want them gone—shut out or dead. They are aliens in your mind. You believe they are crowding into your country and sucking up tax dollars and contributing nothing and maybe are arrogant -- entitled-feeling as hell-- about it. Many people look at welfare mothers, blacks, elderly, female babies etc. as useless pariahs on society. They blame them for the dissolution of morals, and freedoms they want to keep or get back.

So such a person, once realizing they have an Inner Being—who stands for Inner Government—is petitioned for relief from these people he/she again might say:

IB: Allowing Everything, the real thing you want is freedom, security and a way to be rid of the angry/scared feelings you have inside of you. Getting rid of these groups won’t solve your problem.
But forgiving yourself for similar things you have done to yourself will help tremendously. It will solve your problem. So where inside of you do you feel like you are disempowering yourself? What are you forcing yourself to do?
You: Well, I force myself to hide my true feelings and force myself to go to a job a hate because I need the money, and I force myself to be nice to a lot of people who annoy me...or whom I even downright dislike.
IB: So force is “off”. Force against others and against yourself--off. But you learned it from your parents and your culture didn’t you. They said pushing yourself and others is necessary because we are all basically bad, lazy and sinful. Push yourself in school. Push yourself on the playing field. Push yourself in business. Push other people out of the way by tricks, or human laws, crime,
...whatever works. But force is not necessary ever. Allowing Me-- Inner Being-- all of the time in matters small and large will lead you to all that want in the easiest way. And when you get it you will want it. You will enjoy having it immensely for a long time.
You: But how can changing myself change others?
IB: We are all one being. Everything one being does—for good or evil, affects all others. Good stuff goes into a collective bank account of spiritual gold. Anyone can call on it. All individual successes are there. You can download their earned wisdom into your personal spiritual bank account and know how to do anything.
You: But what if they don’t know enough to ask for it and use it. What if I run into one of those folks.
IB: You won’t. The law of Attraction says that you will only attract others that are like yourself—or that you actively choose to be with. So don’t worry about that. The more you play with this the more effective (powerful) you will become in changing the whole world. You can change it all from within yourself—and still leave everyone with free will.

So that’s how Inner Government works. I got more on this but can’t recall it now. I’ll write more later. But Inner Government is not far away at all. It’s easier to install than you could believe from here--and the rewards are immediate. However, you can’t think your way to it. You have to invoke your vaster Inner Self—your Inner Being. He/She knows how to do it all. Your job is to have limitless faith in them—even when things don’t seem to be working out fast enough...continue with blind faith. It IS working in the larger picture and it WILL descend to the small picture. Everyone will see and enjoy this new easy way to get what we want for our self and for the world.

EMAIL RESPONSE TO THE KILLINGS AT CHARLIE HEBDO MAGAZINE







“Your Show Today 1/7/15”
An email 
To: Patrick Madrid, Catholic IH Radio Commentator

From: Brenda Nelson




Hi Patrick:
It was a very interesting show about anger this afternoon. Thank you for taking my call and allowing a discussion of this timely and timeless subject concerning terrorism in general and the terrorist attack at the offices of “Charlie Hebdo” in particular. I agree with you and Bill Donohue in supporting the right of Islamists to be angry with Charlie Hebdo. And I agree with you in supporting the rights of the German protest groups to be angry with Muslim immigrants. However, I also  support to the creators of “Charlie Hebdo” in their anger at religious leaders of all denominations (and satire is really just sneering anger thinly veiled as humor).
Everyone has the right to feel and express their anger. However, I would assert that the expression of that anger must respect the boundaries of the other person or group. Expressing anger at someone by killing them is an obvious and extreme boundary infringement. The terrorists allowed the satire to affect them by voluntarily picking up the magazine and reading it. They invited the insult to come within their boundaries. They could have ignored it. But I would imagine that they would still feel that their dignity and the sanctity of their spiritual leader had been compromised in the eyes of the rest of the world as well and that would matter very much to them, which is a pity, for we cannot control others and what they think. And what they think of us or what we hold sacred is truly not important. We can only control what we allow to affect us personally. We impute dignity and sanctity where we will and what others feel need not be our concern.
One of your other callers had a provocative suggestion for how to deal with the anger of Muslims and their feeling of entitlement to express it by killing others. His proposal was that we mount a modern Crusade or Holy War against Islam. By extrapolation I assume that he meant that the winning of such a war by the Christian countries and their allies, would teach the Muslims to not be so violent and to not retaliate with killing when they were angry. The irony is obvious to us, but not at all to him or to many people. After all we are not so far from The War to End All Wars that was quickly followed by WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom (my personal favorite) and numerous other US deadly covert operations all over the world.
You did immediately express your disagreement with his Modern Crusade idea, but only in that you thought that the situations were different. I heard you say that you felt the Crusades were justified in that the Muslims had attacked Jerusalem and were killing innocent Christians. You seemed to see it as a heroic rescue mission.
However, I feel that most, if not all wars are draped in altruistic ideals in order to seduce young men to make their bodies and lives the willing tools of the power brokers with much more selfish motivations and  who remain safely distant from the front lines. Their incentive is fear and their goal is control of people, territory and resources so they can feel more powerful and therefore safer.
So I found your acceptance of the Madison Avenue version of The Crusades a bit naïve.
The real reasons, at the start of the “Holy Wars” of the 10th century were much like those held by Truman and Eisenhower, and their cohorts had for sending troops to North Korea and Vietnam a thousand years later in the 20th century. Variously Truman, Eisenhower and Pope Urban II felt that the sword-point of the enemy (be it Muslim or Communist) that was entering the heart of a distant country, would soon be entering the heart of their own region if they did not stop it where it was.
Also, and very importantly, Pope Urban II saw that his power as the highest ruler of Europe, could not safely be maintained for long, because he was being drawn into the various power struggles and in-fighting among the various kings and princes of his domain.  So far he had done well with picking and betting on the winners, but what if he should back a loser some time? It could be disastrous for his own reputation and career. (A good reputation, to my mind, is an extremely dangerous thing to covet.)  So he hedged his bets by creating an exterior conflict.  He distracted the combatants at home and united them in a common cause—fighting the infidels of Islam.  He maintained undisputed kingship in Europe by giving his squabbling courtiers, as it were, an external enemy at which to aim their anger. For there was  huge fear and a huge appetite for war, then as now; and it was then and is now an appetite that needs to be fed continuously --seemingly. Urban was canny enough to know how best to do that in order to preserve his own power. He was the consummate politician.
I don’t know the specific psychological motivations of Truman, Eisenhower and the rest who came after who have continuously felt that killing others was necessary for their personal gain or for the safety of their citizenry. But I know without a doubt that the same generalized fear that grips the populace gripped them as well.
There is a growing suspicion that the most recent of US wars “against terrorism” were in fact designed and implemented and manipulated by some of our own leaders: Dick Cheney for one. I did not believe these at first but have seen mounting evidence that now leaves me feeling it is plausible. I know that the historic lust by men of power for land, resources and the allegiance of people can lead them to do horrific things. For they fully believe that the end justifies the means and that as long as the end serves them in some immediate way it is allowable.
This is absolutely the polar opposite of the truth. For whatever means are employed to gain an end, will without a doubt shape that end to be just like them. The means create the end.
Meanwhile the idealistic reasons given the public for waging war in Southeast Asia –was put out to be about defending the underdogs in S. Korea and Vietnam and elsewhere. This is strikingly similar to the reasons you, Patrick, mentioned (and which many people believe) about why Pope Urban II sent crusaders into Jerusalem--to right the wrong done to the martyred Christians and save the living ones.
Brave idealistic young men and women will lay down their lives and kill others for the patriotic ideals of keeping the homeland safe from present or future real or imagined dangers, and of rescuing the down trodden. They find it tremendously difficult to even entertain the possibility that they and millions of other military personnel have been manipulated by this same love… and it is love… down through the centuries. They will find it impossible to believe that they have been manipulated by their own desire to reach for something greater than their mundane selves—by reaching for something finer to surrender to wholly and to even sacrifice themselves to it unreservedly.
This sacrifice to war and killing is all a horrible perversion of something genuine and beautiful. The real spiritual surrender that the intellectual ideal arose from, has become twisted by anger that is not allowed on the one hand (as children) and is allowed excessively and inappropriately on the other (as combatants).
Children for the past 6000 years of our 160,000 year history have been increasingly taught that emotions are to be controlled and suppressed. And this is absolutely deadly. For the emotions are our direct link with our God-Self. Our emotions in their purest form lead us to conscience. A collective human awareness of and refined use of the emotions as guidance for the life would lead everyone individually and collectively towards peace. We would automatically know right from wrong without the need of any code of ethics delivered by either the philosophers or the theologians.
There is a natural, genuine drive towards altruistic surrender, towards service that verges on self-sacrifice, but it has the saving grace of genuine self-interest within it. It must feel good to the self as it is being delivered. If it doesn’t it is out of alignment with the God- self and it is wrong. Self-interest is of prime importance. But with the suppression of anger that is taught in virtually every family, every church, every school and every community a terrible perversion of genuine healthy surrender with self-interest has occurred. People are unnecessarily hurting themselves and each other. The surrender is simply to a higher deeper, wiser, more Divine part of the self.
I noticed that in another instance during the show, that you displayed the same preference for idealism that glosses over reality. You read a long list of Muslim terrorist attacks and the body counts. Then at the end you drew a contradistinction between “us and them.” We the Christian countries may have anger too, you admitted, but we do not go about killing the people who “made” us angry [quotes mine].
I was tremendously shocked to hear you say that, for the obvious truth is that anger has been behind all of our wars. We were all abused children, in terms of being taught to ignore our emotions and to look to outside of ourselves for authorities who supposedly held the Truth, when all along all the truth we needed resided within us, in the kingdom of God which is within.
It was angry American leaders and angry American citizens that sent American troops to Iraq and Afghanistan to kill 132,000 citizens and another 25,000 combatants after 911. It was angry citizens and leaders who sent US killers to Pakistan for the covert operation we are conducting there—sent there to kill another 35,000 children, women and men non-combatants. And because God allows everything, he allowed that those who had childhood anger that had been turned inward and became guilt, would feel like victims and would attract those who had anger that they turned outward and would inflict it on others. They would blame the weaker and feel justified in killing them for it would seem that those others had caused the unhappiness that the perpetrators felt.
So it might be the unhappiness of having one’s most holy object of spiritual devotion made the object of derision and salacious, demeaning “humor.” Or it might be the unhappiness of having had 2000 people in the twin towers murdered by the suicidal mission of religious zealots who were full of hate and self-righteous indignation. Both sides feel the same things. They feel disrespected, they feel victimized and they feel they have the right to retaliated in the most violent ways imaginable. And they are both wrong.
Love is the way. Love is the starting point, the means and the end. But those words are almost devoid of meaning in today’s world. So I will dilute it and make it imaginable. One [place we can begin to love is with the children. We must start to end the endless retaliation by loving the children. The children must be raised with vastly more respect. They must be seen as arriving in this world bearing an inner template or “app” of how their God-self wants them to live their lives. They must be seen to have a precious innate tool of knowing how their God-self wants them to live. That tool must be recognized to be the tremendous gift of the emotions.
When an infant cries there must be a loving response so the child feels empowered. When a two year old says no, they must be respected. When a child asks his weeping mother why she is sad, she must not say “Oh I am fine. Nothing’s wrong.” That is a lie and emotional lies to self or others—especially children--are extremely destructive. The parents of a child whose wishes they want to respect must also learn to respect their own feelings and desires at the same time. But ideas and beliefs must not be confused with feelings. We all have many ideas and beliefs we have gotten from others and from the past that simply are not valid. All beliefs and ideas must be examined for emotional validity and released if they have none.
The emotional needs of both parent and child can be ameliorated and accommodated successfully every time… with a little creative thinking and intuiting. For example, children do not like school the way it is presented today. They learn to tolerate it and to be as happy as they can. They learn to make the best of it. But they are not really happy. So when a child says I don’t want to go to school, then the parent should take this seriously and see if she can accommodate the child. If her answer is, “but if my child doesn’t go to school then I can’t go to work. And I MUST!” Then ask yourself, “do I really want to go to work?” Does my inner child want to go to work? Or is it my intellect, my rational mind (which is vastly overrated) that is saying I must go to work. What would happen if I didn’t? What would happen if I started to ask for what I really wanted? Fewer hours, better conditions, more pay etc. Or perhaps I would realize I had really wanted to work at home for some time now, but hadn’t dared act on it. I had not trusted my feelings. I had “thought better of it.” I had tried to be “practical” but had really allowed fear to rule me. Nothing is more practical than listening to one’s emotions and intuitions. They can always lead us to the perfect God-given solution that works best for both us and our children.
When the whole world is turning within for this wisdom we will be raising the children very differently. School will not be compulsive. Better child-centered schools will begin to appear. True love of learning will be allowed to be more important than discipline and control by the adults. Bells and clocks and rigid schedules will disappear in favor of an inner timing based on intuition and feeling. Children (not parents) will be assigned educational subsidies they can take wherever they want. The best child-centered schools will receive the most students and the most money that way. Other schools will quickly adapt and become child centered as well.
Emotional intelligence will be taught in every school.  They will learn to ask, “what am I really feeling?” What are others likely feeling (although this is a distant second to what the self feels) How can I best express my feelings? What are the boundaries I want respected around myself? How do I allow others that same respect—for they will be taught that there is a Universal law that says, “what goes around comes around.” So they will not put out to others anything they would not want for themselves, for it will come back to them eventually.
And so anger will begin to subside in the world. Compassion will take its place. There will be no further need for finding targets for suppressed anger. Wars will end because love has become the way. Loving the child and allowing them to remain the genuinely self- loving/other loving beings they are when they are born, will change the world. The children will no longer feel terrorized inside by all the emotional falsity around them. They will not be terrorized by the domination of the intellect over the feelings (from others and eventually within themselves). Then outer terrorism will end. There will be no more “Charlie Hebdo’s” or war. There will be universal peace and amelioration of thought and feeling. Thought will serve feeling.
