The Reasons Why We Should Meditate.

There are three reasons why we should meditate. One – to be free of our mental obstacles (concepts in the mind) and so realise our true nature. Two – to be free from everyone else’s mental concepts 🙂 And three – to be free from the programming of the Establishment’s mental concepts. If we can meditate at least twice a day and then, during the day, recall the qualities of that meditation, we will cope better with life – doing what needs to be done, and letting go. Being aware, but not being ensnared.

While we go about our daily lives trying to do our best, we cannot ignore that there is a “system” perpetually engaged in ‘its’ own maintenance. Our existence on earth may last for 70 years, more or less. The Establishment is here forever (so they think). We are meant to find this subject mundane and boring, so we don’t bother investigating, stupidly thinking that the Establishment is working on our behalf. It’s not…it’s working on its behalf! This affects the whole world, and involves both our home and work environments. It is all hidden in plain sight.

Protecting the establishment.
The circle within a circle.

Even though we, as spiritual practitioners, are mainly concerned with spiritual development – usually our own 😉 – there are those who, although not interested in their spiritual development, are suffering. They are unaware of the causes of their suffering, and unaware of the three forces that create their lives.

We could just say, “Well it’s their karma”, and leave them to it. That isn’t very compassionate now, is it?

“Who guards the Guardians?” The Guards are there to protect the Guardians, not the public. The Guardians are self-serving. The public are the “outsiders”. That’s how it’s all kept secret! However, even though this is secret (Chatham House Rules) we can be aware of their effects, and not become unconscious supporters. The outer circle doesn’t know what the inner circle is actually doing. They (the inner circle) are constantly involved in control and, in order to control everything, the inner circle needs to control minds. The best way to do this is through deception. We need to take a close look at our own activities. Are we protecting the system?

Protecting the system – the establishment.

A little history, from Wikipedia:
The Establishment is a term generally used to refer to a dominant group or elite that holds power or authority in a nation or organisation.

The term suggests a closed social group which selects its own members (as opposed to selection by merit or election). The term can be used to describe specific entrenched elite structures, either in government or in specific institutions.

The American Sociological Association states that the term is often used by those protesting a small group that dominates a larger organization. For example, in 1968 a group of academics set up the “Sociology Liberation Movement” to repudiate the leadership of the American Sociological Association, which they referred to as the “Establishment in American sociology”.

In fact, any relatively small class or group of people having control can be referred to as The Establishment; and conversely, in the jargon of sociology, anyone who does not belong to The Establishment may be labelled an “outsider”.

The term is most often used in the United Kingdom, in which context it includes leading politicians, senior civil servants, senior barristers and judges, aristocrats, senior clergy in the established Church of England, the most important financiers and industrialists, governors of the BBC, and the Monarchy. For example, candidates for political office are often said to have to impress the “party establishment” in order to win endorsement. The term in this sense is sometimes mistakenly believed to have coined by the British journalist Henry Fairlie, who in September 1955 in the London magazine The Spectator defined that network of prominent, well-connected people as “the Establishment”, explaining:

“By the Establishment, I do not only mean the centres of official power—though they are certainly part of it—but rather the whole matrix of official and social relations within which power is exercised. The exercise of power in Britain (more specifically, in England) cannot be understood unless it is recognized that it is exercised socially.”

However, author and professor, Carroll Quigley of Georgetown University, in his book The Anglo-American Establishment used the term much more specifically than did Fairlie.

Quigley exposes the secret society’s (sic) established in London in 1891, by Cecil Rhodes. Quigley explains how these men worked in union to begin their society to control the world. He explains how all the wars from that time were deliberately created to control the economies of all the nations.

That society was established by Cecil Rhodes in 1891 and, following Rhodes’ death in 1902, was carried on by Alfred Milner, which society, Quigley refers to as the Milner Group, but sometimes referred to as the Round Table movement. That group, with significant American input, would, following the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, establish and control the Royal Institute for International Affairs, later to become known as Chatham House.

The Chatham House Rule.

Since its refinement in 2002, the rule states:
When a meeting, or part thereof, is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.

Purpose.
At a meeting held under the Chatham House Rule, anyone who comes to the meeting is free to use information from the discussion, but is not allowed ever to reveal the identity, employer or political party of the person making a comment. It is designed to increase openness of discussion of public policy and current affairs, as it allows people to express and discuss controversial opinions and arguments without suffering the risk of dismissal from their job, and with a clear separation from the opinion and the view of their employer.

The rule allows people to speak as individuals and to express views that may not be those of their organisations, and therefore, encourages free discussion. Speakers are free to voice their own opinions, without concern for their personal reputation or their official duties and affiliations. The Chatham House Rule resolves a boundary problem faced by many communities of practice, in that it permits acknowledgement of the community or conversation, while protecting the freedom of interaction that is necessary for the community to carry out its conversations. It is designed to reduce the risk of what has come to be described as groupthink, where unpopular views are excluded from discussion, reducing the range of opinions an organisation can discuss.

The aim of the rule is to guarantee anonymity to those speaking within its walls so that better international relations may be achieved. The rule is now used internationally as an aid to free discussion. The original rule of 1927 was refined in October 1992 and again in 2002. Chatham House has translated the rule into Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian.

The rule is a contrast (or a compromise) between private meetings, where revealing what was said in the meeting is forbidden, and on the record events where the discussion is completely public.

Generally, the Chatham House Rule is imposed as a condition of being allowed to attend a meeting or event: all participants are understood to have agreed that it would be conducive to free discussion that they should be subject to the rule for the relevant part of the meeting. The success of the rule may depend upon it being considered morally binding, particularly in circumstances where a failure to comply with the rule may not result in sanction.

NB. All forms of media are meant to distract us, allowing us to play games on the merry-go-round happily, oblivious to what is actually going on. If we can be kept excited about the mundane, we will not realise that we are being programmed at every moment. While we are jumping up and down and reacting, the Establishment can do what it wants, thus maintaining the inner circle by using the outer circle. Gobbledegook is meant to be “TAXING!”
