The intellectualisation of conflict, the dark shadow of civilisation

In the ‘grand old days’ conflict inevitably became physical.

Tribes, religions and empires all dominated through undercurrents of violence.

Modernism has transferred these control mechanisms into laws and media demonisations and pressures.

Anyone who threatens violence in a ‘civilised’ society is now legally branded as a domestic terrorist and is subjected to ‘special powers’ outside of the basic structures of law, which simply enables a level of brutality and immediacy to be enacted upon them.

Civilisation comes at a cost it seems.

Not just within these societal social justice aspects but within the broader harmonisation of the general public as individuals.

Laws do that, they bundle individuals into a group called society and Ideally this enables a pretty handy control mechanism to create environments and interactions that are civil.

But energy is energy as anyone who repetitively watches news channels will attest, and it needs healthy venting ( movement from being held), otherwise it builds up within the individual, becomes stagnant and creates toxicity.

This is a problem for society, because if enough individuals are affected they can lean towards more and more active ways to shift those energies, and those seemingly good folk end up under the banner of extremism, every if it’s simply talking about what they don’t agree with.

Conflict of course is a very human experience, we all share the trials and tribulations of trying to navigate life’s waters without leaning into any dormant ancestral pirate gene codes.

Xmas which we are about to encounter is a situation where very many individuals meet choppy water, where the expectation for non conflict is hopeful but the strength of energy in people is greater than many can handle under these circumstances.

The tongue, an agent of the heart, will always seek the moment to discharge some of the injustice fuelled energy that years of perceived power plays and helplessness have delivered.

This is part of the problem, when we process almost all conflict via the mental plain, are we truly capable of processing the energies involved properly.

I think not, they need to be expressed in a healthy way. In days gone by, dancing around a fire to shamanic drum beats would suffice perfectly, but now those vital beats are internalised and solidified.

There is simply too much conflict non resolution in our nervous systems.

The body dutifully adapts itself to the rigours of the mind, but it has only so much capacity.

When reached it will allocate storage for excess energy and information.

That internal storage is directional - excess upwards generally equals anxiety, downward equals depression, and the waistline is often a capacity boundary for what cannot be digested.

A very healthy remedy is a combination of targeted body work and expert levels of awareness or consciousness. Just like the fire dancing but more suited to modern etiquette.

In my clinic I set the stage for this type of transformative work, the music is handcrafted usually rhythmic, mantra based, the PEMF and Infrared matt on the treatment table delivers harmonies into the cellular networks and I work on the greater channels with hand applied and tuning fork based resonance, and target time honoured energetic interfaces that hold the keys to unlocking how your body has held these destructive forces from conflicts.

Remember modern conflicts are everywhere, families, workplaces, roads, schools, dealing with institutional inadequacies.

All dealt with via a hopefully civil tone through the mind, and simultaneously processed and held in your body.

The fact that society is dominated by increasingly tremendously selfish individuals generally speaking, adds to the lack of respect and dignity that used to be more present in general society.

One of the first barometers of this is curtesy, political ideology, money control via banks and corporations used to at least pretend that they cared via curtesy, not anymore, those veils have been lifted leaving humanity fully exposed to the cruelty and corruption that governs their daily lives.

Emotional intelligence with its deep layers of wisdom, instinct and insight are swept aside routinely in favour of brutal Marxist ideology reinforced by the legal justice system.

Individuals are tasked with the Herculean responsibility of getting it right every time in relation to conflict.

As we can see clearly, our modern society is delivering to many flash points of constriction and pain for too many individuals.

This leads eventually into conflict and eventually violence, which is met with deeper levels of control and punishment.

It’s an inverted spiral going inward, instead of an aspirational spiral of expansion.

As individuals we need to take individual responsibility to flip that and expand our own intellectual and emotional geometry into something the civilian grid hasn’t encountered.

Humans taking ultimate responsibility for their own thoughts and actions for their own wellbeing.

Being aware of the collective structures that imprison us and lighting our own candles of enlightenment into the grey mist of life’s downward spirals.

Not just through our minds but our bodies as well.

On simple terms we can assist ourselves, regular movement, humming in the shower, tai chi, Qi Gong, stretching, yoga, receiving clever body work, tapping, acupressure, swimming, walking and general exercise, taking six deep breaths every half a day…the list is only limited by your creativity.

Indigenous societies understood these principles perfectly, and acted upon them religiously, shamanism and aspects of Sufism such as the whirling dervishes are founded on altered states of consciousness often in shamanism via plant medicines, but also rhythmic sound and movement practices.

Just don’t, after reading this blog, let it all stay in your mind.
