[GJM] Giftegrity and Reciprocity reposted from SynEarth with comment from Marguerite

[marguerite hampton]

Hi Bill, 
 
This post is very interesting to me for as you know, I have been conducting
research for my book: The Sacred Quest for the Biology of Consciousness. 
And, I feel there is a very definite link between human motivations, values
and the state of one's consciousness.  
 
A really extraordinary book is "The Biology of Transcendence"by John Chilton
Pearce.  In it, Pearce explores how the brain becomes entrained or not, both
with regard to hemispheres and with the triune heart brain, and how this
effects the state of consciousness of an individual.  
 
We also encounter this in Vern Woolf's work as he explores "brain states"
from a "particle", "wave" or "holodynamic" viewpoint. Woolf also explores 
the collective consciousness" of groups from couples in relationship to
clubs to societies, religious orders, businesses, and nation-states.  
 
Pearce also writes with regard to Carl Jung's thoughts on this:  "Culture
can become a kind of psychic entity that can possess/and or inflate a person
or even an entire country and achieve its violent ends through such
possession and inflation".  Jung also referred to a demonic archtype that
had long percolated benearth the surface of Germanic European thought. :This
archtype, galvanized and brought to action through the Nazis, was used to
build a demoralized people into a cohesive unit.  Such was the collective
consciousness of communism in the former U.S.S.R. that 
Vern Woolf was able to aid in transforming through the process he calls:
Holodynamics.  

.  And such is the collective consciousness of the United States today and
why we see such violence erupting. As we have discussed previously among
those who will receive this message, numerous social psychologists have
diagnosed the culture of the U.S. as suffering from the 
"pathology of dissociation" to such a depth that Ken Wilber has said that
indeed the pathology may run so deep as to be non-treatable".  Not only do
we suffer as a collective from the pathology of dissociation, but we have
the add-on of mass addiction to consumption and other vices. 

  What I am submitting here is that the archtype of some cultures, in which
normal brain entrainment, which encompasses the two hemispheres of the brain
and the triune heart brain, 
takes place, Giftegrity and Reciprocity could easily appear and be the norm
for that culttre. 
However, it is impossible for this kind of action to take place in our
present society because for the majority of its inhabitants, brain
entrainment has not taken place.  

  Let me quote again from the chapter entitled Triune Consciousness which I
posted a few days ago.   
Paul Maclean discovered in his research on the human brain that by far, most
of Western Society never escapes the trap of the Left Brain and its Ego.
Consequently, all types of illnesses result because of the lack of contact
with the Right Brain, which contains the Self. Because of the polarity
between the Left Brain and the Right Brain techniques must be used to make
contact between them and begin the Integration process.  
Here lies the root of the problem in part, but only "in part" because
MacLean does not mention entrainment with the Triune Heart or with the
Immune System Brain, all of which is necessary to create a consciousness
that is fully "present" or "holodynamic".  
 When one is operating from either a "particle" or "wave" dynamic, it is
like driving a car down the road of life and being able to see from only one
section of the wind shield.  In other words, one is not fully coherent and
can receive only partial in-form-ation -- so one is never fully functional. 
As a consequence of having so many people who are able to operate from a
particle or wave dynamic, we have a largely "dysfunctional society".  
And, what we need to understand is that until the brain is properly
entrained, no amount of talking or cajoling, or whatever, will allow the 
mind-field" to receive the proper information because in its incoherent
state, it is physically unable to do so.  
 Fortunately, we do know how to entrain brains today; however, what we are
facing is how to do this on a mass scale involving the collective
consciousness, and within a short period of time prior to the total collapse
of our ecological life support system, if, indeed, it is not already too
late. 
 Tomorrow, I will go into this in great detail.  When the brain is perfectly
entrained, what naturally  emerges is a human consciousness that I have
begun to refer to as "the Christ Consciousness" -- it is a consciousness
that is "all-knowing and all-seeing".  And, from all apperances, can be
achieved by anyone.  As we go deeper into this, we will also come
face-to-face with Zero Point Energy. 
In peace and with love, 
marguerite

 THE FABLE OF L’HOMO ECONOMICUS  is destroyed by Dominique Temple and
 Mireille Chabal in  La Réciprocité et La Naissance des Valeurs Humaines
   (Éditions L’Harmattan, 5-7 rue de L’école Polytechnique, F-75005
 Paris
 FRANCE, 1995, in French).  Modern Economics and the EuroAmerican
 culture are based on the assumed reality of homo economicus.  That is,
 that the only motivation of humans is material self-interest.  This
 book examines all cultures throughout history, including our own modern
 culture, and demonstrates that human motivations and human values have
 been distorted only in the last couple of hundred years, and more
 vehemently in the last few decades, to become based on values which are
 destroying the humanity and life on Earth.  Reciprocity  is  more
 fundamental and more friendly to both humans and nature.
 Reciprocity is the antithesis of exchange or selling.  Reciprocity, or
 “gifting,” has taken on many forms in different cultures.  In some it
 is imbedded in religion.  People produce and distribute goods and
 services in celebration of their spiritual beliefs.  Their work is a
 gift to the gods, to the Earth, and to humanity, without thought of
 material return.  In other cultures production is for the common good.
 That is, people see themselves imbedded in their families and
 communities.  They exist only because of their relationships to other
 people and their bioregion.  And these relationships depend on the
 productive role they play  -- how much they can support and give to
 society.  In still others, material welfare is paramount;  but one
 gains insurance of her or his material well-being by giving to others.
 “To him who gives shall be given.”  Each person gains prestige in
 society by how much s/he gives.  That prestige demands reciprocity to
 the giver and to the family of the giver.  The more one impoverishes
 himself  in betterment of the community the more the community is
 beholden to the giver.
 This reciprocity on which almost all cultures are based is uniquely
 vilified by neoliberal economic theory which refuses to recognize that
 production and distribution can be based on anything but greed and
 exchange --  giving up something only to gain something else.  This
 distorted economic theory of exchange goes well beyond just “the
 market.”  Economic reasoning has invaded sociology, education,
 politics, ethics and the law.  Homo Economicus  is believed to base all
 values and judgments on economic exchange values,  what one can gain
 materially.  It is only in this distorted Western society that
 reciprocity has been subjugated to the concept of exchange.
 Bronislaw Malinowski, Claude Levi-Straus, Marcel Mauss, Marshall
 Sahlins and other anthropologists have shown the deep roots of
 reciprocity;  Aristotle, Homer, Hobbes, and other political
 philosophers trace reciprocity from the Greeks as the base of our
 Western society;  and Hegel, Adam Smith, Durkheim and Polanyi  and
 other economists, describe reciprocity’s relevance to the age we are
 in. But it’s the future which really concerns Temple and Chabal.
 Money, exchange, and globalism have replaced the human values inherent
 in reciprocity with motivations which are leading to social,
 ecological, economic and political destruction.  Reciprocity exists
 deep in ourselves, our families, and our communities; but it is
 suppressed by our belief system and its resulting social institutions.
 We see reciprocity in President Bush’s “thousand points of light”, in
 the burgeoning NGOs around the world, in volunteerism, in our familles,
 in our communities, and in many grassroots social innovations.  Our
 future can be assured only if we release this constructive force of
 reciprocity. Or as the authors end this book, “Si l’esclave veut etre>
libre, il ne lui faut pas seulement différer la mort, mais dominer sa
 propre vie par le souce de celle d’autrui, maitriser la vie avant
 qu’elle ne le condamne a mort.”
