The Illusion Of Racial Domination And Victimization


A person was telling me about the horrors committed against the race that he emotionally identifies with. He was emphasizing the meanness and cruelty that was committed a long time ago. And, he claimed that the unjust treatment is carrying on to this day, but in a more secretive way. He painted a one-sided picture that gave the impression that his so-called race was "innocent and undeserving" of being abused and murdered in such a cold-blooded way. He condemned the race and their "religion" that justified their barbaric treatment of what they believed was the "inferior" race.

Now I don't care which so-called "race" that people emotionally favor or disfavor. What matters is what is taking place in the minds of people that brings about various destructive behavior. Both the controlled (or victim) and the controller (criminal) are playing an illusory game with each other. Both sides pretend to themselves to be justified in their way of thinking. Both sides are polarized and feed off each other. Both sides do their part to perpetuate conflict, opposition and destruction. Both sides are dependent on each other to give a certain imaginary value or worth to themselves. Both sides are psychologically dead - meaning, that their mind is operating off of an image about themselves. An image is a dead thing that is born out of the past (which is dead).

Racism is founded upon the dead past emotionally-driven experiences. Something happened that aroused emotional disturbance. That state of disturbance is being continued into the present by constantly remembering cruel events that happened in the past. So people are not in relationship with what you are in the present. They are only concerned with your past and reacting to you based upon your past. Racism is a warfare tactic to divide the Human species into being at odds within that one species. Race is an illusion invented by people who wanted to take control of massive quantities of people in order to steal from them while they bicker among themselves.

This endless cry of being wronged by some group of people is bogus and misdirecting the victim's responsibility for their victimization. Nobody can be a victim by another person or group of people without first victimizing themselves, psychologically. When the mind stops being in touch with itself, it is dead. The living is in FULL CONTACT with itself. A living thing is aware of itself in each present moment. Awareness is NOT a memory. Memories about past emotional happenings is NOT a living fact. Yesterday I stepped on your foot. But right now, I am NOT stepping on your foot. Being preoccupied about yesterday's experiences destroys the mind's ability to pay attention to what is presently happening. A mind that focuses on the past is a dead mind because it ignores the living present state of being.

Before any group of people are invaded, the state of mind of the people are existing on a make-believe idea that they invent about themselves. If the mind does not like any emotional state of being, it uses its imagination to dig into its emotional past feelings, and then it concentrates on those feelings that it remembered that felt pleasant. The mind does this in order to escape from being in touch with any emotion that it dislikes. No matter what "race" (which is purely imaginary) one may identify oneself with, the emotional mind operates exactly the same way in everyone. The entire mind of Humanity has an emotional-imagination that it uses in order to hide from any emotional state of being that it does not want to acknowledge. The mind is disassociating itself away from itself in order to not be in touch with anything about itself that it dislikes. When the mind does this, it is dead because it is out of touch with itself. A thing is only ALIVE because it is IN TOUCH with the living reality of what it is, regardless if it likes it or not!

Now then...

Humans have made up the idea of "race" based on the geological location of various groups of people being shaped by their physical environment. If you live near the equator, the people will have dark skin. If you live near the north or south pole, the people have fair skin. When people live in groups they develop a language that they all become habitually familiar with. All of these things are merely superficial. Because, the Core of a Human Being is emotional/psychological based on feelings. Someone compliments your skills or appearance, and there is an emotional response that is pleasant. Someone insults your skills or appearance, and there is an emotional response that is disturbance. When the mind likes its feelings, it wants to hold onto that state of mind. When the mind dislikes its feelings, it wants to escape from that state of mind. The way the mind holds onto pleasant thoughts/feelings is that it imagines itself to be "good" or "superior" or "wonderful" all the time. This is called a self-image (an ego). The mind does this in order to hide from or ignore its emotional thoughts and feelings that it wishes to disassociate itself from. So, in essence, the mind has divided itself against itself. It has declared war on itself by opposing the feelings and thoughts that it dislikes -- and opposition is warfare. This is a fact.

So within all so-called "races" is an internal war going on. There is one quality of the psyche that is in conflict with another quality of itself. The mind is ONE UNIT. However, that unit is fractured when the mind seeks to get away from or refuses to pay attention to any emotional quality that it finds to be upsetting. If you look at the mind like the weather or climate, it has states of being that are like a storm or like a sunny day. It wants itself to be "a sunny pleasant day" all of the time. It does not want to ever be "a disturbing stormy day". So what the mind does is go into its past memories of when it was in "a sunny pleasant day" state of mind, and then it focuses on that memory in an effort to drown out the current "state of being a storm". So the mind is choosing to exist in a dead memory of past feelings and thoughts in order to distance itself away from what it is actually feeling in the living present. So when the mind does this, it is disintegrating, degenerating and decomposing like a corpse, psychologically.

Enter the villain...

While the mind is internally fighting against itself, externally some foreign group of people come along and physically hurts those people who are in a state of internal psychological warfare. This invading group of people are viewed as the villains. When a mind is divided against itself, it is already hurting itself by being out of touch with itself. To be alive means TO BE IN FULL CONTACT WITH WHATEVER ONE IS FEELING OR THINKING, even if you dislike it. The mind is the content of whatever it thinks and feels. So when it tries to ignore itself by repeating phrases that gives emotional comfort, it is seeking to drown out whatever thoughts or feelings that it doesn't want to have. The mind is denying what it feels and thinks in the living present. And, it is seeking to invent what it wants to think and feel by remembering pleasant thoughts and feelings. Choosing "what one desires" over the "disturbed state of being in the present" is the mind disintegrating and dividing its itself into FICTION vs. FACT! This is self-destructive and violent.

So the mind is already destroying itself by believing itself to be different from what it is feeling and thinking. If one feels hate, it believes in the concept of "love". That word "love" is born out of the actual state of hate so its "love" has its roots in hatred. Therefore, it is a false form of love. The mind does this with all of its feelings and thoughts that are ugly. It makes up the opposite to disguise and cover up the original ugly state of being. This is a mental battle taking place in the minds of most Humans. It is very rare that a person discovers that this entire process is immoral, false and self-destructive. So when a foreign group of people or whenever a stranger comes along and does something abusive or cruel, the victim claims to be "an innocent victim" (which is a lie). The "victim" has lost its innocence whenever it opposes whatever state of mind that it is in. ALL states of mind is that mind. For that mind to be WHOLE (and innocent), it must be IN FULL CONTACT with every state of mind that it expresses. Being IN TOUCH is the sacred act of REAL LOVE because there is NO division, conflict. One is communing with itself and learning about its entire nature and so it is WHOLE. Such a state of being WHOLE implies that it cannot be destroyed by external threats of violence because it is not being internally violent to itself. So the villain is then disarmed. And "race" is not an issue.

The main reason why people can be assaulted and murdered by other people is because the victims were already attacking themselves by being in a state of emotional self-opposition. When the mind "believes", then it is not seeing itself as it is, but rather, how it wishes itself to be. All "believing" is imaginary in order to fight against "what it is actually thinking and feeling". Belief is FICTION that fights against FACT. So when people are in a state of FICTION OPPOSING FACT, it is tearing its mind apart. So when so-called "villains" come into their lives and start hurting them, the so-called "victims" already gave the "villains" permission to attack them because they were already internally attacking the "FACTUAL STATE OF MIND" that they did not want to be in. So long as the emotional state of being is pulling away from itself by "believing" in the opposite ideal, the mind is actually attacking itself. When the mind attacks itself, it is giving permission to others to attack them, as well. However, the mind is unaware that it has given its permission to be attacked by others.

A mind that understands that IT IS ALL OF ITS EMOTIONAL THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS, also realizes that all there is left to do is to study itself and understand itself as it is. In the state of self-study, there is no escape or pulling away from itself. I am whatever I think and feel so there is no reason to choose to feel any other way. My mind is like the climate that I don't choose. If I feel any kind of emotion, that emotion is my mind. So I commune with myself and learn about all of my emotions. There is harmony through communion, which simply means TO BE IN FULL CONTACT with whatever I think and feel. Being in touch is not a memory; it is a living state of being. Therefore, the mind is ALIVE because it is not delving into past emotions in order to ignore what it is thinking and feeling right now. So whenever others come along that means me harm, their efforts to destroy my physical well being backfires on them. Why? Because, the Holistic Mind has not given anyone permission to destroy it because it is NOT internally divided or believing at all. Therefore, its body is standing on a solid, stable foundation, which cannot be bought or stolen by another.

So whenever people babble about the past crimes of one group against another, it is plain and clear to see that both sides manufactured their friction against each other, because of the internal self-opposition that is taking place within the "villains" and the "victims" minds. Both sides are rooted in psychological division and deny being "in full contact" within themselves. In other words, a dead mind set its body up to be killed before the "villain" arrived. If the mind were to be in touch with itself, it would not have been destroyed by the "villain". "Villains" simply take advantage of minds that are already in a state of decomposition (that are opposing itself with its beliefs that it is something that it is not). One may "believe" that one is loving, moral or whatever. But, that very "belief" is the denial of actual morality or love. LOVE is being FULLY AWARE of ALL STATES OF ONES MIND and never to oppose itself with a dead memory (which all beliefs are dead memories from the past handed down by blind traditional obedience). To see the false as being the false IS The Truth. By being aware that "believing" is false and self-destructive, then ones mind is being a Light Unto Itself (the Light is the Awareness of what the mind does that is false and self-destructive). Self-Awareness without Opposition is Freedom (from conflict, misery).

Tradition means treason, in Latin. That means that "the Past/Memory" is committing treason against "the Present". The dead is seeking to overthrow the living present. The living present state of mind that one dislikes is being overthrown by the "belief" in being the opposite of what one thinks and feels. This is treason and a betrayal of being alive. Being alive means being aware of whatever one thinks and feels in the living present, period. It is an act of betrayal to ones own living being to seek to escape from being fully aware of what one is thinking and feeling. Just because you don't like whatever you are thinking or feeling is no excuse to hide from yourself. The mind can only hide in a dead emotional memory that it calls a "belief". Whenever the mind refuses to be in full touch with itself, it is destroying itself because there is no LIFE without relationship. There is no relationship without CONTACT! Take away relationship and you get a state of being mentally dead. A mind that refuses to be alive inside of itself is a magnet that is attracting others to come and destroy its body. So when the outside" villain" does murder that person, that person was already mentally dead. So the "villain" simply finished off the body.

So there you have it folks...

All of the history of one group violating another group is all based on internal mental disintegration. Without the mind being at war within itself, none of these tragic events could ever taken place. For the most part, Humans are mentally childish, because they only superficially study the surface of any problem. They never study THE SOURCE of a problem. A child's mind can only see the surface. However, a mature mind is interested in learning about THE SOURCE of any problem. Because without THE SOURCE of any problem, there can be no problem. So once THE SOURCE is fully examined, there is no problem, anymore. "Racism" has never been studied at it's SOURCE. It has always been viewed through emotionalism based on outward behavior. But, no one cares to understand where this behavior originated, which is why the problem persists.

People never get in touch with their minds, completely. So as a result, they take refuge in emotionally identifying with a group (that is the birth of race). If the mind was in full contact with itself, it would be secure and never seek to emotionally identify itself with any group, at all. Then there would be no such thing as belonging to a "race". The mind mistakenly assumes or "believes" that through emotional identification, there is safety. Because, it thinks that by comforting itself on an emotional level that such comfort will also insure physical well being, as well. But, this is false. The evidence shows quite clearly that seeking emotional comfort always puts the body in harms way. For example: when you pledge your allegiance to some symbolic flag in order to feel emotionally great, you must be willing to sacrifice your health and life for that emotional comfort. So "national-security" is really emotional-security, which is defended by war. The body is then being endangered in order to give the emotional mind what it seeks. Because the body is the "building"; the "state of the emotional mind" is the foundation. So when the mind is fragmented, the body must follow suit. No building can stand on a cracked foundation. The foundation is cracked (divided) when it refuses to be in FULL CONTACT with itself BY OPPOSING ITSELF BY "BELIEVING" IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT THINKS AND FEELS.

THE SOURCE of racism is "believing" that my mind is different from other minds because of superficial differences. The different shades of skin color, the different textures of hair or the different languages are all superficial. At the foundation of all Humans is the psychological process of "believing", which is to oppose the present state of mind by using the past emotional memories to hide or ignore the present state of being that one dislikes. This process of denial is at the foundation of all people in the world. Either one is aware of it and is free of it through self-study without opposing itself, or one is ignorant about this process being the cause of their misery. So the mind of most people are hurting itself and then getting mad whenever someone from the outside does it harm. This is hypocrisy because the mind that hurts itself is unknowingly inviting others to be cruel to it. Because, the mind is in a state of self-destruction. If it really didn't want to be a victim or a villain, then it would stop attacking itself; it would stop opposing itself and simply be in touch with all of its states of mind and be free of division. Then the body would be safe from harm, too. Because, its foundation (its mind) is no longer cracked (no longer in opposition to itself) thereby, insuring the body's safety.

So whatever pain that one group of people bestows upon the other is born out of a mental foundation of internal conflict. All groups that were attacked and destroyed first destroyed themselves by being unaware of their own cracked foundation. And that is why their building (their bodies) fell to ruin. This process is constantly being repeated from one generation to the next. Because the psychological mind is repeating itself by perpetually opposing itself, and "believing" that it is something that it is not. The mind sacrifices its body by seeking emotional comfort in its fantasies it has conjured up about itself whenever it feels or thinks anything that it doesn't want to acknowledge. The mind says to itself that, "I like these thoughts and feelings and I don't like those thoughts and feelings". So I will believe that I am the opposite of those thoughts and feelings to which I dislike. The emotional-mind seeks emotional comfort through its imagination that it is the opposite of those disturbing thoughts and feelings. This game of self-deceit is what the Ego is born out of and maintains itself in that very deceit. So when it gets attacked by strangers or even by relatives or so-called "friends", it claims to be an "innocent" victim that it did not deserve to be mistreated like that. But the very perpetuation of self-deceit is psychological self-abuse. Therefore, one is not innocent, instead one is corrupt. Corruption is fragmentation. A corrupt mind has betrayed its own body's well being. So anyone else is given permission by a corrupt mind to victimize its body.

War is based on one thing -- DIVISION! You can't conquer anyone until they are internally or emotionally divided against themselves. So both sides of a conflict are equally responsible for all of the horrors that take place, because both sides are psychologically self-deceived and out of touch with their whole mind. Both sides are rooted in a foundation of self-opposition, which is self-contradictory. A mind that is free of opposition is no longer in the field of conflict. Therefore, it cannot be captured. The one who takes credit for conquering a person or group merely finished the job that its "victim" psychologically started. If that person or group of people were in FULL CONTACT WITH ALL OF THEIR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS WITHOUT OPPOSITION (WITHOUT ANY BELIEFS), then their foundation would be WHOLE and then their body would be safe and secure from external threats of harm. If a broken mind tries to destroy a WHOLE Mind, the broken mind will self-destruct. This is not a belief but an absolute fact. The only reason why there are victims is because they were in a state of emotional self-opposition, initially. In other words, the "victim" was the original "villain", internally, which opened the door to let in the outside "villain".

Some will say what about babies? Are they in a state of opposition? Is that why they get murdered? No. They are not in a state of denial because their minds have not been trained to oppose itself yet. They are victims because they are like a fruit of their parents tree. If their parents are rotten at their mental-core (through being in opposition against their own states of mind), then the parents are not only placing their own personal bodies in harms way, but they are also placing their very young children in harms way, as well. The child's physical safety is based on the psychological foundation of their parents. If their parents are at war within their own minds, then the child's safety is determined by their parents psychological condition. Sometimes children survive and sometimes they don't. But once that child grows to maturity and they begin "believing" in the emotional-opposite, then they carry on the same self-destructive pattern of their parents and then go on to put their own children in that same physical danger that they had to grow up in, as well. Until the mind awakens to THE SOURCE of its misery, it is destined to repeat the same ignorant pattern of psychological self-opposition, which divides the mind against itself. That opens the gateway to allow other people to come into their lives and attack their physical well being. So long as the mind seeks comfort by ignoring any emotional disturbances, it is attacking itself which is the foundation of its life on which its physical security rests. There can never be physical security as long as the mind is at odds within itself.

All cultures train their emotional minds to "believe" in something. That training is falsely given great respect and high regard. So people ignorantly assume that they are suppose to "believe". But that "believing" psychologically blinds the mind from being in touch with itself. You can't see your mind while you are assuming or believing things about your mind. You can only do one or the other, but not both. You either see how you think and feel or you assume or "believe" what you "should think or feel". An assumption or "belief" is moving away from the fact of how you actually feel or think. Moving away from fact means that you are moving away from LIFE, itself. LIFE is a FACT, not an assumption or "belief". The mind is made dead by existing off of its imagination or "beliefs". When you are hungry, all of the imaginations of eating a hearty meal will not nourish your body. When you are tired, imagining that you are well rested will not regenerate the body's energy. Imagination is only useful for mechanical tasks. You can imagine a blueprint to build a boat, building or an outfit to wear. So imagination has its right place. However, imagination is abusive whenever it is used to deny any emotional feeling or thought. This is where our education has failed Humanity, as a whole. Our species has never learned to psychologically distinguish between the proper and improper use of its imagination. It is not imagination that is "good" nor "bad". It is the understanding its right place of appropriateness. It is inappropriate to use ones imagination to be out of touch with any state of mind. It is appropriate to use imagination for physical needs (and only that).

So stop whining about the hurtful things that one group of people have done to another group of people. Because, in the end all victims destroyed themselves, psychologically, long before their bodies were destroyed. Stop emotionally identifying with any group, because when you do that you are dividing the Human species. Once an emotional division is made, then physical violence must follow. By "believing" that you are a certain "race", you are inviting others who believe that they are a different "race" to come and attack you. They may attack either boldly or secretly by pretending to befriend you, but behind your back do damaging things against you.

So it is the responsibility of each person to be in touch with their entire mind by being aware of every feeling and thought in the living present. If you betray the living perception of your mind, then you are no longer innocent, you are then corrupt/divided against yourself. So when you get attacked by others, you are then responsible for their attack, because you started the attack the very moment that you hid from any state of mind. When you are enemies with yourself, you are in no position to complain about being wronged by another, when you wronged yourself, first! People don't see how they are responsible for their own suffering and want to point the finger of blame against outsiders in order to hide from the Truth that they invited harm into their lives by mentally harming themselves, first. So if you don't want to be a "victim" don't hide from yourself, psychologically. Then others wont be able to destroy you, either. Then "race" becomes irrelevant.

So wake up people and stop being so childish by focusing on the superficial causes of social unrest. Go to THE SOURCE and then these problems will disappear, instead of endlessly griping about your misery. The ones who complain are the very ones who are psychologically at war within themselves. They want others to suffer for what they are doing to themselves. I do not see people as being different "races". I see people as being mentally out of touch within themselves. THE SOURCE of all problems come from this one fact of psychologically being out of touch with oneself. The act of "believing" is the very act of being out of touch with oneself. The act of "believing" is the inappropriate use of ones imagination. Until that is clearly understood, there can be no peace nor physical security. Our world will continue to be torn apart so long as the Human mind is tearing itself apart by refusing to be in full contact with ALL of its emotional responses. "Belief" blocks ones ability to be in Full Contact with All States of ones Mind. The Mind is either Whole or it is not, and that is THE SOURCE of all of these Human horror stories that expresses itself in a multitude of ways. But the expressions are not the main concern. It is THE SOURCE that matters. But, most people don't want to deal with THE SOURCE of their problems. They want to pretend to want a solution to their problems while they carry on maintaining THE SOURCE of their deterioration.

The racial domination and victimization is an illusion created by the mind that is out of touch with itself. Being out of touch with oneself is what brought about the "belief of race", in the first place. We are all Human Beings from ONE SPECIES. At our core foundation is our emotional state of being that we either learn about or go to war against. Underneath the different physical appearances is a psyche that is opposing itself or it is not. That is the Source Code that makes people behave the way they do. When a mind is learning through communion with itself, it behaves harmoniously and sanely. But, when the the mind is resisting itself, it behaves like a savage that is dysfunctionally mad. Society is your relationship with yourself. The way you are related or not related to yourself determines your relationship with everybody else, period. If you are at war within yourself, you are at world with everybody. If you are in touch with all states of your mind, then you are in touch with the facts about everybody, psychologically, without opposition to those facts, then you are a peaceful being that does not destroy others nor do you allow others to destroy yourself. You don't allow it by not being self-destructive because you do not oppose any emotional response, instead you commune and learn about yourself so that no state of mind is a problem at all.

Life is a Seed. What takes place in that Seed determines its outgrowth. Your mind is either a Seed of Destruction or a Seed of Benevolent Creation. So if there is suffering in your life, check your mind to see if it is in a state of "believing" or "imagining" itself to be in some other state of mind that you prefer it to be in order to escape from the state of mind that you are presently feeling. If you are trying to run away from any thought or feeling by "believing" you are in an oppositional state of mind, then your mind is divided against itself. Your mind is the Seed of your Life and what is going on in it. As long as that Seed is Divided Against Itself (which is corruption), then you are maintaining your own misery. Until your mind changes, your life will be in turmoil. Nobody can help you or save you from what your mind is doing to itself. You are responsible for what your mind is doing to itself -- and You Alone! Not some other "race", not any sexual partner, not any governmental authority, but only you.

The real question is, "Do you want to really live or not?" You can't have it both ways. To live means to be related or in full contact with ALL OF YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS IN THE LIVING PRESENT. The denial of this means that you want to be dead and that you are mentally dead. A living thing is able to be in touch with its nature. That nature is your emotional responses to anything going on in your life. If you don't want to be in touch with your responses to the challenges in your life, then your mind is blind and numb to itself, so it is dead. It exists in past emotional memories and ignores the living present. So it is like being a mummy. Either the mind is awake to itself or it is not. When it is not, it is not really alive, is it? If the mind is dead, then anyone can come along and finish off its body and kill it. Yes the outsider did harm to your body, but your dead mind gave it permission to do so.

Therefore, complaining that a certain "race" did wrong to your "race" is irrelevant. It is merely an emotional distraction away from THE SOURCE of the problem because the mind does not want to face the fact that it is ultimately responsible for placing its physical security in harms way by psychologically being out of touch with itself. Until people mature into being concerned about THE SOURCE of their suffering, they will continue to lie to themselves and blame superficial reasons for why they are "victims". The mind is the criminal that is doing harm to its life and to the lives of others who are also doing the very same thing to themselves. Self-Destructive minds like to complain about other people that are are doing wrong to them so that they can remain blind to how they are destroying their own lives at the very foundation of their being, which is emotional. The only challenge or problem is The Divided Mind!



"Race" is not a fact; it is a product of our emotional imaginations!
