Speaking out without being Outspoken

Saying it simply, describing a personal sense of experience, acting congruently and exploring relative possibilities. These are expressions we can think of as self - intimate differences in each and every one of us. We all have the freedom to pursue, without malicious intent, any course in life and it's tste can never really be in dipute, that is, freedom is a right we all have and we should not use it to contain or limit the way someone chooses to see things.

Some things like the troubles in the Republican party are indisputably wrong and social justice is required to mediate an agreeble penance. At some time in the future, as was in the past, people will enjoy a world where emotional control resolves such issues. These crimes would not happen if isolation from society was the absoloute opposite of what each culture and every individual was doing. Growing closer. Course that's my opinion, just that the way we rush rubs us up the wrong way, you'll find otherways of saying it I'm sure.

Speaking out is being who you are. Being outspoken is simply not knowing when to be silent or it could happen becomes a person is unaware of the limits to their own understanding. We all, every day do a little conflabulating, making stuff up. There's an article in the new scientist if you want to know more on the subject.

Being outspoken is a weakness, primarily an inabiltiy to explore a subject, convinced of some pre-determined enlightenment you, they, we, must get. It's then easy to prove there's an inability to listen to or see more than one reason. Conversations then take a predictable route of presupposed logic; that the unreasonable can be more reasoned.

There is of course being out-spoken, politicians rarely suffer this they always have some defence but a mortal lack of substance, I like to think that a battle of wits would end with some new ideas being shared, that science, the human potential movement isn't all intellectual cock-waving, that there's a purpose for discussion. Any results, changes in perspective should be concepts that shape differences, not give us a new way of practicing old habits. I am outspoken with some friends, machine-gunning words in a bombardment of reasons, senses, molten feelings that overwhelm my racing mind until I'm struck dumb.

I take great strength from the feelings of the people of Israel. There they have spoken out against corrupt leaders, now gone. Where is this strict code in the UK? Here we have corrupt people in corrupt systems, once all our laws made some sense, now they are abused from political gain and manouvering to increase or protect the power base. How do you dela with such institutionalised corruption...my guess is we wipe the slate clean and get on with making something more decent from what we've learnt from the lessons history teaches us.

Peace, be at one with yourself, the illusion is what surrounds us.
