HOMELAND INSECURITY

by Paul Levy

...The terrorists we are fighting are not external terrorists, but
domestic terrorists who have taken over our government, the very
institution which is supposedly protecting us from terrorists. The
barbarians have truly stormed the gates and occupy the seats of power.
The underlying military-industrial-financial crime syndicate that
controls our government is a true terrorist organization.which rules
through the creation of terror. The “global war on terrorism” is not a
war “on” terrorism, it is a war “of” terrorism...

If terrorists themselves had infiltrated our government and taken
control of our country, they could not have done worse damage to our
once great nation than George Bush and his regime have accomplished.
Bush is just the latest incarnation - in amplified form - of
self-serving, darker forces that have progressively insinuated
themselves into our government over many administrations. Like his
predecessors, Bush is a finger-puppet of the underlying
financial-military-industrial crime syndicate that has animated and
controlled our government for many years.

In their most incredible fantasy, no external terrorist with suicide
bombs or box cutters could have ever imagined being able to eviscerate
the United States in the way that the Bush administration has. What the
people and corporations controlling the White House have done in
reaction to the seemingly external threat of terrorism - which they
themselves have purposefully helped to create - is truly staggering. The
forces that control our government have fanned the flames of global
terrorism, deliberately creating a clash of civilizations between the
Christian west and the Islamic world so as to further their political
and military agenda. In addition, they have shredded the constitution,
are in the process of taking away our freedoms, and are turning the U.S.
towards a fascist, police state. They have started illegal, preemptive
wars – the number one war crime according to international law - that
were from the beginning based on lies, greed and imperial lust. As far
back as 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called the US “the greatest
purveyor of violence in the world today”. Sadly, this is even more true
today. These criminals who have taken over our government have broken
both domestic and international law, ruined our international reputation
and standing in the world, alienated us from our long-time allies, and
have turned the overwhelming majority of the world, who now consider us
to be the biggest threat to world peace, against us. They have just
about broken our military, corrupted our voting system, incapacitated
our legal system, greatly

harmed our social services, health-care,

harmed our arts and education, “redistributed” (i.e., stole) wealth from
the poor to the
rich, emptied our treasury and are destroying our economy (which is now
on life-support, fully dependent on foreign countries for its survival).
As a result of their utter recklessness, they have plunged us into
literally unimaginable debt (which is a form of slavery) that will take
generations to pay off.

They have shortsightedly raped and pillaged the
environment for financial gain. These madmen and women have not only
ignored but forcefully obstructed actions that would have helped deal
with global warming. Incredible as it is to consider, they themselves
are actively participating in creating global warming and destroying the
biosphere (the life-support system of the planet), like some sort of a
self-destructive, death-creating, apocalyptic cult. Investing in
technologies of destruction instead of creation, they are true agents of
death. Instead of doing what it alone is in a position to do: bring the
era of nuclear weaponry to an end,

our government has instead taken
actions to “heat up” the nuclear arms race.

This is to not even mention
Katrina, depleted uranium, and torture, as the seemingly endless list of
ongoing nightmares perpetrated by our very government truly challenges
the imagination.

And of course, this is to not even think about mentioning 9/11. Does
anyone in their right mind truly think that the same planetary pirates
that are in the process of destroying our country from within are not
also behind 9/11 and its cover-up? To quote retired Air Force colonel
Guy S. Razer, “The attack on 9/11 was planned, organized and committed
by treasonous perpetrators that have infiltrated the highest levels of
our government”. Who else do we possibly think has both the motive as
well as the capability to simultaneously perpetrate and cover-up what
happened on 9/11?

One of the reasons why this is hard to see is because these global
terrorists are committing such unspeakable acts that we have trouble
even imagining that any other human would do such horrible things. Our
lack of imagination works to the terrorist’s advantage, as what they are
doing is so off the charts of normal human behavior that it is
incomprehensible to us, which is the very blind spot that allows them to
get away with it.

This is why the great doctor of the soul C. G. Jung counseled us to
consciously develop an “imagination for evil”. Instead of an overly
one-sided identification with the light side of the personality,
developing an imagination for evil is a way to inwardly realize, through
the use of our creative imagination, our own, and by extension, others,
potential for evil. As Jung points out, lacking an imagination for evil
“deprives us of the capacity to deal with evil.” Once we wrap our
imagination around the utter evil that is being perpetrated in our
world, we are much more effectively empowered to deal with it.

We hadn’t seen the depth of the evil being acted out before because it
was so overwhelmingly transparent, (i.e., not hidden) that we didn’t see
it, as if it was staring us in the face and we were looking away. Our
turning away in denial was a reflection of our avoiding relationship
with a darker, previously unimagined aspect of ourselves.

Once we see clearly, it could not be more obvious that 9/11, one of the
worst war-crimes in all of history, was an “opportunity” which was only
able to be successfully pulled off, covered up and capitalized on by the
same financial-military-industrial crime syndicate which has taken over
our government and is trying to extend its tentacles to the furthest
reaches of the planet. If you think that I am exaggerating or being
paranoid when I point this out, I would respond by inviting you to open
your eyes, explore the evidence – which is right in front of your eyes –
and look at what is actually being done in your name (see 911truth.org).
U.S. political and military documents openly proclaim that the
establishment of an empire that includes the whole world - a fascist
global Pax Americana - is their goal.

It is as if virulent parasites have insinuated themselves into the body
politic of our nation and are consuming it from within. Speaking from a
spiritual point of view, eminent theologian David Ray Griffin says,
“…demonic power is now firmly lodged in the United States, especially in
its government, its corporate heads, the ‘defense’ industries, its
plutocratic [wealthy] class more generally, and its ideologues.” These
psychopaths who have taken control of our government are the worst
terrorists imaginable; they are truly our worst nightmare materializing
into physical form!

It is truly mind-blowing, in that it literally blows the “blind”-ers off
of our minds when we realize the extremity of the madness and
criminality that the latest incarnation, the George W. Bush regime, in
the supposed name of freedom and democracy, has been able to implement,
or more accurately, perpetrate in our name (please see my book “The
Madness of George W. Bush: A Reflection of our Collective Psychosis”,
available on my website www.awakeninthedream.com). To the extent that we
believe ourselves to be disempowered and remain silent, we have allowed
this evil to be done both in our name and to us, which is to say we are
complicit in our own enslavement. It is far more than allowing our
pockets to be picked. It is like enabling someone who is stealing our
national soul. Just like in a dysfunctional home suffering from abuse,
the violence in the family system (in this case, our nation) is only
possible if the rest of the family members (US) tacitly agree to keep
silent and stay passive, which is to say we are all thereby complicit in
allowing the abuse to happen.

The forces that have taken over our country are actually global
terrorists who rule by creating terror, intimidating and subjugating
people through fear, all under the guise of their (mafia-like)
“protection” being for our own good. The pirates who have taken over our
government are not interested in governing, but are only interested in
feeding their unquenchable addiction for power, control and booty. These
criminally and morally insane people are literally trying to centralize
power and control on our planet so as to exert full-spectrum dominance.
Psychologically speaking, they are embodying the negative,
testosterone-driven patriarchal ego amplified to a pathological extreme,
as they literally try to attain omnipotence as a compensation for their
own inner fear, weakness and insecurity. Malignant narcissists on
steroids, these criminals are trying to create a New World Order and
literally take over the planet as a perverse way of avoiding having to
consciously deal with their own unconscious inadequacies.

What is happening is hard to see because it is so overwhelming that it
literally gives us a “shock” of realizing the “awe”-full ness of the
darker side of humanity, which is to say, of what any of us are
potentially capable. It’s so sci-fi that it’s hard to believe it’s
really happening. It feels like being in some sort of hyper-dimensional,
Star Wars-type movie which has the extra mind-blowing feature that we
ourselves are in the very movie that we are watching. It truly has the
feel of an invasion from a parallel universe.

To think that the notion that terrorists – literally planetary pirates
(see my article “Bush: Planetary Pirate”, available on my website
www.awakeninthedream.com) - are trying to take over our planet is a
paranoid conspiracy theory is to be truly ignorant (which means to “not
know”) of what is actually happening, and to be in denial with a capitol
“D” with regards to reality. I don’t mean to be impolite when I say
this, it’s just that there’s no time to waste in beating around the
bush. To think that this is a crazy conspiracy theory is analogous to
being sound asleep while our house is being ransacked. We mustn’t be
complacent, we can’t just naively depend upon some off-planet deity for
our salvation, as we ourselves are responsible for how things turn out.
Which is to say that we must find the divine power within ourselves to
effectively and creatively respond to our predicament.

The terrorists we are fighting are not external terrorists, but domestic
terrorists who have taken over our government, the very institution
which is supposedly protecting us from terrorists. The barbarians have
truly stormed the gates and occupy the seats of power. The underlying
military-industrial-financial crime syndicate that controls our
government is a true terrorist organization.which rules through the
creation of terror. The “global war on terrorism” is not a war “on”
terrorism, it is a war “of” terrorism. It is truly shattering, inducing
a form of post-traumatic-stress disorder, to realize that those who are
supposedly protecting us are the ones from whom we need protection. And
yet, it is a form of trauma that can potentially so “shake us up” that
it can snap us out of our fear-based, frozen paralysis and can trigger
mobilization, inspiring us into empowered action. Paradoxically, the
trauma itself activates a response in us which is both utterly traumatic
while simultaneously being able to bring about its own creative
resolution. How the trauma manifests depends on us: whether it deepens
our pathological denial, or awakens us to a deeper, more expansive level
of our creative being, depends upon what we do with it.

Symbolically, it is significant when the darker forces incarnate as an
intimate member of our own family system (in this case, our nation).
Seen as a dreaming process – an inner process materializing itself both
literally and symbolically through events in the outer world – the fact
that the enemy we are fighting is not outside of us but within our very
homeland symbolizes that these darker forces are not separate from
ourselves. For example, Judas incarnating as one of Christ’s intimate
disciples is symbolically expressing this same deeper, archetypal truth:
our true enemy is not a distant enemy, but an intimate enemy. Seen
symbolically, what this means is that the seemingly outer enemy is
actually an embodied reflection of the adversary within ourselves.

This mythic process of overcoming the intimate enemy within has played
itself out from time immemorial, or more accurately, since the birth of
“civilization”, both inwardly in our psyche and outwardly in the
projected (i.e., “dreamed up”) form of world events. This underlying
mythic drama has reiteratively unfolded itself, fractal-like, all
throughout history in multiple dimensions simultaneously –
intrapersonally (individually), interpersonally (in relationship), and
transpersonally (collectively). All of these different levels are
mirrored reflections of each other, as well as of a deeper, archetypal
process which is currently making itself known to us as it appears in
externalized, projected form by incarnating in, as and through events on
the world stage. As Jung continually pointed out, the unconscious always
gets projected out and approaches us from seemingly outside of
ourselves, where it both literally and symbolically gets dreamed up into
materialization.

What is happening in our country and our world is synchronistically
revealing to us a process that is going on deep inside all of us. What
is playing out in the world theater is a cosmic drama that exists deep
within the collective psyche of humanity. Darker forces trying to “take
over” and possess someone (be it an individual, a home, a nation, or a
planet) is a mythic, eternal and recurring drama that exists deep inside
the collective unconscious and has played itself out in this world in
nearly infinite variations. Only in this moment in time, however, do
these darker forces have it within their grasp to potentially accomplish
their evil intentions on a grand scale that was previously unimaginable.
The only thing that can get in their way is if enough of us wake up and
see what they are doing – which is to say, if enough consciousness is
added to the mix. Just like a vampire can’t stand the light, these
darker forces cannot stand the light of consciousness. “The global war
on terror” is a war on consciousness. Because it can potentially expand
our consciousness, the war on consciousness is itself the very catalyst
and instrument for consciousness to awaken to itself (see my article
“The War on Consciousness”, available on my website
www.awakeninthedream.com).

Something is being made available to us because of the extremity of our
situation: this deeper, mythic process that is playing itself out on the
world stage is revealing something to us that is most important for us
to know. To recognize what is being revealed is itself the necessary
expansion of consciousness which initiates the re-solution of our world
crisis. For when enough of us recognize what is being revealed, we can
connect with each other through the open heart of lucid awareness and
literally change the world for the better.

HIJACKING OUR HOME

This deeper, archetypal process that is giving shape to and in-forming
events in our world is expressing itself like a fractal, which is to say
in and over time it endlessly, creatively manifests itself in unique
self-similar and reiterative patterns. Jung recommended to us that we
develop more of the aforementioned imagination for evil as a way of
seeing and dealing with the archetypal evil that is playing out
destructively in our world. To get a better sense of our situation, we
can view our country and our planet to be our home (which it is). To get
in focus the deeper pattern of the darkness that is fractally
explicating itself collectively in our country and our world, we can
creatively imagine, if just for a moment, what it would be like if
psychopathic criminals took over our home to the point where they had
power over us.

Having hijacked our home, these pirates abuse their power without
restraint simply because no one can stop them. It is like being invaded
by imperialistic aliens who are trying to “colonize” our home and make
us one of their territories. These terrorists rule by fear, by force, by
violence – truly a reign of terror (interestingly, this sounds very
similar to what I imagine the typical Iraqi’s experience is of the
foreign invaders who are currently occupying their homeland). The
emotion of terror that these criminals actively inflame in the field as
they invade our home feeds their virulent pathology, as if they are
parasitic vampires who feed off of others’ fear and terror.

These criminals sole intention would be to gain power and control over
all of our minds, our bodies, and our lives as fully as possible.
Imagine if these criminals had us under their control to the point where
they made the rules of the house in secret, and they continually changed
the rules so as to serve their own agenda, which was the opposite agenda
of what best served the family (US). Imagine if these criminals
controlled the money that flowed through the household, to the point
where they could control how all of the affairs of the house were set
up, as well as how each member ran their life. Imagine if these pirates
controlled the information that flowed through the family, monitoring
any and all communication, so as to control perceptions and manipulate
the family member’s psyches and relationships with each other.

When there is a family system that is ruled by terror and abuse, a very
powerful psychological field of denial gets conjured up over time which
induces an unspoken agreement to never talk about the abuse. There
becomes a group consensus to deny the horror of what is actually taking
place (for then we’d have to deal with it). Commenting on this
situation, dramatist Harold Pinter says “The crimes of the U.S.
throughout the world have been systematic, constant, clinical,
remorseless and fully documented but nobody talks about them”. Of
course, this silence is supported and facilitated by the abusers
clamping down on any family member’s expression of the truth with the
threat of severe retribution (for example, Joseph Wilson and Valerie
Plame), as the criminals try to furiously stamp out the brush-fire of
truth that exists in potential at every moment in the household. Once
under these psychopaths control, breaking the vow of silence and
speaking the voice of truth in our own home becomes a radical,
revolutionary act that is demonized and punished accordingly, for it is
the very thing that can put an end to their reign of terror.

Imagine if these terrorists diabolically created separation, division
and mistrust between family members, completely polarizing people into
two conflicting camps (red vs. blue), manipulated people’s feelings
about each other, and literally turned the family against itself. In a
truly crazy-making, Orwellian world of Big Brother watching us, family
member’s start becoming paranoid and policing each other (“please report
any suspicious activity!”). Imagine they created a sense of us vs. them,
compared to the underlying unity and love that naturally is expressed in
a healthy family. Imagine if they created such scarcity and poverty in
the home that all members had to work most of the day, like slaves,
having little free time for connection, creative expression and
learning, play or contemplative thinking. Prisoners in our own home, we
are slavishly forced into becoming indentured servants of the
pathological family system, which is the very act which both supports
the terrorists who lord over us and feeds our own genocide.

If “spiritual, new-age lightworkers” are averse to envisioning such a
dark scenario, as they don’t want to feed the darkness by putting their
attention on it, and continue to insist on solely visualizing the light,
I will point out that in their avoidance of what is actually happening
they are unwittingly reinforcing the very evil from which they are
looking away. It’s a beautiful thing to visualize and affirm the light,
just not as an unconscious reaction against the darkness. It is true
that we don’t want to focus on the dark too much, or we invest it with
power and energy. But looking away from the darkness, and thus keeping
it unconscious, is what the darkness itself depends upon for its
existence, for as we unconsciously react (as compared to consciously
respond) to the darkness by looking away, we are investing the darkness
with power over us. On the other hand, we create genuine peace not by
turning away from the darkness out of fear, but by becoming instruments
through which the radiant light of consciousness shines on the darkness,
so as to dis-spell its apparent power over us.

Our current situation is nothing new, as it is a timeless, archetypal
process that has played itself out in and over time not only throughout
history but as the warp and weave of history itself. The thing which
makes our situation unique is that the danger has never been so great,
while at the same time there is an incredible opportunity offered – make
that, demanded of us - as the gravitas of our situation can potentially
catapult us into a deeper level of awakening to who we are as creative
agents of the divine.

TAKING BACK THE PLACE WE CALL HOME

What I am describing in this imagination of our home being taken over is
the very real nightmarish situation that is happening on a grander scale
in the family systems called our country and our world. Developing
Jung’s imagination for evil and creatively visualizing the utter trauma
of what it would be like if our home was being taken over can help
“shock” us into recognizing the reality of our imagination, which is
simultaneously a deeper level of awakening. What a radical idea –
creatively imagining what is actually happening as a way of helping us
see. Of course, this is only a prescription for people who have a strong
enough sense of self to be able to bear the shock and not be overwhelmed
with despair, which would only leave them no help either to themselves
or others. Paradoxically, trauma contains encoded within itself the
hidden key to its own resolution.

Many people are in denial because our situation is so horrifying. Not
only is there no benefit in denying what is taking place, but our denial
is the very thing which allows the darkness to act itself out in our
world without restraint. Our denial is the very act which both conjures
up and is itself an expression of the very evil we are denying. We can’t
pretend or magically affirm the darkness out of existence. We are in no
position to deal with our situation effectively until we see clearly
what is actually happening. We can’t wake up from a nightmare if we
don’t see that we are in a nightmare. When enough of us wake up,
however, we can connect with each other in lucidity and change the
waking dream we are having. Of this, there is no doubt.

When I continually unfold my imagination of our home being taken over, I
notice something interesting. At a certain point, I find myself
creatively imagining how we can free ourselves in ways that I couldn’t
previously have imagined. It is only when I get into focus the trap that
is happening do I begin to be able to creatively envision the way out of
the trap in surprising and new ways. This is why it is so profoundly
important for us to step out of our denial and see the nature of our
situation. Once we see what is in fact happening, we can access the
empowered part of us that is able to creatively, and imaginatively act.
I find myself imagining that we can easily connect with each other in
both covert and overt ways so as to awaken and mobilize our collective
creative genius and God-given power so as to skillfully take back
possession of our homeland and return it to being in the hands of “we
the people” for the good of all of us.

Through the shared, open heart of lucidity, we can conjure up an energy
that is greater than the sum of its parts, which is to say greater than
ourselves. When we step out of our fear-based, separate and narcissistic
selves and get in synch with each other based on the intention to serve
what is best for the whole, a transpersonal and “divine” energy becomes
available to us: the three-faced jewel of love, wisdom and compassion.
We become the channels for this sacred, divine and “blessed” energy to
materialize itself into the third-dimension. Just like when enough
dreamers in a dream become lucid they can transform the dream, when
enough of us lucidly connect with each other through the open heart of
love, wisdom and compassion, we can change the world. This God-given
power is being freely offered to us, and everything depends upon if we
recognize and make wise use of what is being revealed.

Seen as a dreaming process, taking back our home – which symbolically
represents our sacred space - is to literally step into and awaken to
ourselves. Seen as a dream, the terrorists themselves are the very
figures that we have dreamed up so as to force us to empower ourselves
and awaken to this deeper level of our being. The terrorists in our
waking nightmare are nothing other than a mirrored reflection and
externalized, embodied revelation of the archetypal terrorist who exists
within ourselves. Once we recognize this, we awaken to that the true
adversary is the intimate enemy who lives within us. This is to begin
the process of integrating all of ourselves, which includes both light
and dark in its greater wholeness.

Withdrawing our projection of the terrorist from the outside world and
understanding and embracing it as a part of ourselves empowers us to
deal with external terrorists more effectively, as well as having less
need to dream up someone to terrorize us. Awakening to the dark,
intimate enemy within us is to simultaneously access and awaken a deeper
part of the organic, divine light within us, which, just like a dream,
instantaneously gets reflected back by the outside world. Penetrating
into and recognizing our own darkness is a genuine illumination,
affecting the whole universe. Like a fairy tale or a dream, it all seems
like a script written a long, long time ago.
