With respect, I am deeply disturbed by this unfolding affair. Not at all about the so called exposure and possibility that Clif High and his work may not all be what it seems, but by the general reaction in the public to said possibilities.
Not to insult anyone's feelings with what I am about to say. I have been following the HPH reports and communicating with the person a few times via email, mostly short interactions on specifics. I have been listening to every interview I could find, and recently registered to the Veritas show solely to listen to his "last" interview. As many people have, I have put a lot of stock in the whole "Clif High/HPH" theme.
Yet, in the occuring "fraud" outcry from disappointed former followers and the same "fraud"/"I told you so" outcry from gloating Day One Disbelievers, it seems as though there is a strong element of personal investment in that relationship to the Clif High figure, and that personal investment of a kind, today, feels betrayed and let down. In my humble perspective, that might be the real issue. Not that Clif High may have manipulated or fooled some people. But that those people might have opened themselves up and made themselves available for manipulation, by putting the wrong kind of stock and regard in the work and words of another.
All idols, all fathers, all legends must fail eventually. Whether they do so by virtue of natural order of rise and fall, or we do make them to meet the needs of our personal growth. It is crucial to know this as we approach the pedestal. For what does stand on a pedestal for however long the universe will let it, is always placed there by our fact. If not placed by our hand, then acknowledged to be there by our mind. And our acknowledgement is a validation of object's place on pedestal, unless an issued challenge follows suit.
Nevertheless, as all things carry within them, from inception, the program of their eventual collapse, the pedestal will be toppled. Only true imperative is a matter of being in tune with that fact, both in prior awareness and ultimate readiness to witness said collapse.
This poses the question of our relationship to idols and figures, extremely pertinent in this case of Clif High and the ALTA reports, and our dealings in the so-called "conspiratorial" maze-world or "woo-woo world", or whatever.
From the very first instant, our adventure of "awakening" in that alternative world is a challenge issued to the statu quo. Everything about it stands upon the premise that a power of some kind is adversary to our evolution, freedom and emancipation and that knowledge is the best weapon to bring to the fight. We will spend time researching and studying to make out the characteristics and nature of that control structure and believe ourselves empowered as we apparently slip out of its prior grasp. Then, it's a war of some kind that we wage, using our available methods. Some simply "survive" and document themselves more to form the perfect picture. Some try to "save" others. Some try to expose the control structure. And so on. The process is always that of polarization between opposing sides: ours, and them, with gray areas more or less large and spotty in between.
No different with the HPH work. The polarized bottom line of it all is this: " "TPTB", whoever they are, are the bastards. Through their many arms (government, religion, media), they control us, have done so for a long time, and push their agendas. Stop believing the lies, break off from the control grid, free up".
Eventually, the reports spread, HPH gains attention. From a portion of us, praise ensues, stock is put (emotional, intellectual, financial), and this is where the big credit bubble inflates, as would. From the moment a system gains that kind of attention, then it has come out of its infant growth phase and begun to exist in the big picture. The countdown begins as to its destruction, for such is the way. This is how reality fundamentally works. Questions as to how the system will face/deal with destruction, while interesting each time, irrelevant to this writing.
The real question regarding this so-called "fraud" and the emotional release surrounding it has nothing to do with event itself, this would be yet another case of confusing the messenger for the message. The event, as with all events, is but a set of circumstances which provide opportunity for a reality check. We usually call those opportunities and ensuing checks, when processed, "A Life Lesson" (add flowery embroidery as would). Those open up to greater understanding and growth opportunities as the pedestal naturally wobbles and topples. Like it must.
The real question is thus: why do we break off from the grip of a figure/archetype-based control structure (father, priest, politician, boss) to claim freedom under another, in this case and for instance, Clif High? From day one, Clif High has been but a man, not to be worshipped. Appreciate the man, lend an ear to what he says, ponder his musings… never forget the proverbial grain of salt. For we are made to be sovereign, and we broke off from control in the first place to affirm and establish that very sovereignty. That a person may manifest traits that allow us to place them on pedestal still does not deify their essence. While the act was a pretty big deal in roman times, that too was used as a form of political control through spiritual control. For a crowd sitting on the fringe and boating on the woo-woo sea, you'd think we'd have gotten past that. Apparently not all of us have.
Same. Reject an holy book or another, yet consume in devout fervor the "Reports", cryptic and mysterious as they are. However, unlike the rejected holy books, the Reports do come with multiple warning occurences: "Attention: bullshit also embedded within material. Potentially hazardous to involve in decision-making process.
Yet, we go out and speculate, preach and warn not as an intellectual amusement or exercise in futility, but in a genuine act of faith and dedication to fellow men and against the TPTB control structure. Missionary types that we are so fond of despising for their role in the erasure of ancient cultures have done the very same throughout history, acting on the same reasons and motivators and with the same sense of being vectors for "truth". Better ironies to enact out there.
Truth is not a built-in aspect of outwardly manifesting reality because our own birth builds our own perspective by bringing in its own life imperatives. Thus Truth is a component of deep, personal, intimate, subjective experience. Not to be shared, enforced, or preached. And while in the end, ultimate Truth may well be one word, one idea, one concept universal, it takes no less than millenia of individual, subjective, shapeshifting personalized truth fragments to take us there to that final point of congregation in awe. Respect is thus owed:
- to others for whatever path to whatever truth their life imperatives have placed them on, and they attempt to follow in their own way.
- to ourselves in the just practice of that process of enlightenment under intimate truth.
The ultimate positive is that the HPH experience and the Clif High character has been for some a vector towards a sense of truth. The fellow is pleasant, easy to talk and listen to, full of very interesting insights and clever perspectives. We are free to pick up what we like, as with any other kook or apparitionist or loony out there. For that is what we all are anyway for engaging in this reality-experience with less lightness than gravity and feeling as though anything should be strong enough to cloud and pollute the most part of a 80 years old life expectancy. So why would we spend time fantasizing, projecting and deluding ourselves as to the character and intent and nature of yet another man who's only there to supply options for picking up on the way to the dawning of our personal truth, far up the road?
That's your Clif High. That's your David Icke. That's your Jeff Rense. That's your Weidner. That's your Whoever. Just a guy out there, offering options. Nature? Intent? Purpose? In the end it's only and merely a question of what we take and the precautions we adopt to ingest it, or our reasons for discarding it. End of story.
Bad things happen all the time, by virtue of the rules that make up this planetary existence. Better start learning to let go, bounce and roll. Hence absolute relevance, in all things, of recent Ukemi considerations. Statues, however, atop manmade pedestals, don't do the whole Ukemi thing too well. Just leave it alone. All idols must fall eventually. The pieces will land where they may.
Upcoming post: "Doom & Gloom prophets pave the way to dire outcomes. That is a good thing. Move along: all in order."
