If my 'heart' had not been sliced-and-diced, yesterday, here's the gist of
what the prior post would've been.
quoting from the third article, below:
"'Their words are not matched by their actions, and their actions speak
louder than their words.'"
No matter where one looks, it's all the Same-Stuff. Everyone's wanting
others to conform themselves to the their =own= familiar world-view.
Despite the fact that everyone can 'see', right-off, that such is
Impossible, because it'd require folks to, somehow, 'morph', dynamically, in
the eyes of others, while remaining themselves, to themselves, as they went
from interacting with this person or that, and likewise, in some
Impossibly-fantastic chimeral fashion, while interacting within groups,
everyone 'expects' others to conform themselves to the their familiar
world-view.
[An 'aside': I know, I know, in their productions, Hollywood folks do have
some 'success' toward such ends [and the Hard Truth is, that such is clearly
part of the Problem in which folks, all over the place, are losing-'sight'
of Reality. All the talk shows, during which Celebrities =Graciously=
demonstrate their own stuff, just are not viewed in any proportion even
wispily commensurate with the numbers of viewers of Hollywood productions. I
enjoy what Hollywood does [well, a lot of it, if not all of it], there's
tremendous Worth in being lifted-up in Art that flows from the 'Heart'. So,
what can be done? How about doing a production that addresses all that's
entailed head-on. have the Stars being looked-to as 'Heroes' by 'Fans',
within the production, but, in the end, the 'fans' are the production's
Heroes, with the Stars's Humanity shining-forth, having Recognized it all.
Why not? [You know, stuff-within-stuff, like in _The Last Action Hero_ and
_Galaxy Quest_, only with a down-to-Earth, light-but-Honest-Drama, plot?
[We've Witnessed exactly this, but in Enormous Seriousness, at the Pentagon
and at the World Trade Center, didn't we? Yup.]] Anyway, I'm not 'lobbying'
against. I'm 'lobbying' for. For =balance= with respect to folks in the
Audience being Enabled in-themselves, while remaining in-Reality. [One knows
the "point's" been missed when one sees Young Folks peeling-out of the
parking lot when one encounters them exiting some 'street-racing' flick.]
You don't have to stop doing what you do [do it ever-better.] It's just that
you've been taking-the-money-and-running, not caring, sufficiently, about
keeping all of your viewers, =all around the world=, with their
'feet-on-the-ground'. Augment vision, rather than diminishing, or
unrealistically-skewing, vision. As it is, folks not having access to the
stuff that balances everything, take the stuff of Hollywood 'two'-literally,
use it as a 'model' for action, and we experience their 'acting' within our
reality.
'Difficult' stuff, I know. But it's 'broken'. Fix it.]

one more 'Difficult' thing before i go offline for a bit.
'two'-ness begets 'two'-ness.

tanks, Israeli uniforms, pointing guns at, and shooting, Civilians.
This should've been:
Tank-blasts, Israeli uniforms, pointing guns at, and shooting, Civilians.
Bomb-blasts, Israeli uniforms, pointing guns at, and shooting, Civilians.
The 'point' being that, 'underneath' this or that merely-familiar trappings
[the 'uniforms'], it's all the Same-Stuff.
No matter where one looks, it's all the Same-Stuff. Everyone's wanting
others to conform themselves to the their own familiar world-view.

l
'two'-ness 'pretending' to 'be' One-ness. [One-ness deals in understanding
not weaponry.]
at least, when the understanding's right-there, available. Forgive me, such
'pretending' is the Same-Stuff that the 'corporate' slippery-numbers folks
do. 'sees'-self-only. "To hell with everyone who doesn't see it our way."
'Calculation' that Doesn't-Compute with respect to Truth.
Don't get me wrong. I was born in, served in, educated in, and Cherish the
Military. This Nation is Born in it's Blood.
But why resort to 'Bullets' when there's Understanding that Honors Life,
while Resolving things =Permanently=?
I mean, why work to 'Hide' the Understanding, in order to'Celebrate' the
'Bullets'?
Doesn't Compute.

'two'-ness struggling to become One-ness.
"I.R.A. Apologizes for Civilian Deaths", By BRIAN LAVERY
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/16/international/europe/16CND-IRELAND.html
I Apologize for the 'Difficulty' inherent, but not for wanting to address it
right in the light-of-day.
[...]
quoting from the article:
"'Their words are not matched by their actions, and their actions speak
louder than their words.'"
'Two'-ness 'moves away from' Seeing that, no matter where one looks, it's
all the Same-Stuff. Everyone's wanting others to conform themselves to the
their familiar world-view.
"'Their words are not matched by their actions, and their actions speak
louder than their words.'"
Truth, inherent, is so Awesomely-Simple that folks, caught-up in the
'complexity' of everyday affairs, 'just' can't See-it.
To paraphrase what Jesus Addressed ~2000 years ago: "If this or that is your
problem, get rid of it. It's better to 'prosper' without this or that than
to find yourself in the Hell of mutually-inflicted Savagery, with this or
that.".
Life is Wondeous Stuff.
Go for Life, not this or that that, through nothing more than experience,
has become the merely-familiar 'treasure' for which the
Exceedingly-Prescious stuff of Life is forsaken.
Toss the Falsely-evaluated merely-familiar stuff, and Choose the
Exceedingly-Precious stuff of Life.
Then, no matter where one will look, one will See that Everyone's wanting
others to conform themselves to That-Which-Is-True.
It's a Thermodynamic, around which there is no way.
I Apologize. What's here should be =still= be more than what's here. And,
"of course", I am working to push-things-over-the-top. So, 'interpolate' in
your own Good 'minds'. The 'Difficulty' is inherent in the Problem, not in
what I bring to it. If anyone 'wonders', yes, I Ache with respect to such,
and Accept the Consequences of my Choice. I Love you in this way.
Gotta go seek employment.
It's a Thermodynamic, around which there is no way :-)
