#false exchange

We enter into being without knowing. We will leave the way we came in, without knowing what death will bring. How long our life span is and how much knowing we attain do not necessarily correlate. It is up to the individual to determine what level of knowing it will attain. It is beneficial that we, as a collective, gather and have ready all known knowledge and possibilities for every being, but one can either accept or deny the material presented. Therefore, knowing will be a unique experience for the one, contained within their being inside of their circle.

Our knowing begins to form with awareness of what is sensed and what is perceived. It becomes about the questions of Authority as we draw further into consciousness: Why am I? and Why is This?. One of the first things we begin to know is what we are called, the name given to us by our mother. It is what we begin to identify ourselves as, the first thing that binds our consciousness to our form, the object that others see our being to be. Accepting our name and giving it to others is how we continue to be identified and processed by others. It is not the answer to Why am I?, but it is part of the knowing for others.

Our senses draw us more and more into knowing Existence. Even if one of our senses do not function, we are still made more and more aware as we grow that this is happening. We can feel it, hear it, smell it, taste it, and most of all, see it. If someone were to play games with knowing by asking the question of how you know this is not all a dream, you know because you can sense that it is not, for we do not sense in dreams. We rely most on the senses of seeing and hearing, followed by feeling, to tie our being to our form and experience the place we are present inside of Existence. Still, this does not answer the questions of Authority: Why am I? and Why is This?

Let us hold the questions of Exchange and Authority as we begin to explore some of the systems of knowing we enter into. Some of the things I will begin to point out will challenge your current knowing. Let me be forthcoming with how I am approaching each system: the goal is to identify how each system adds to knowing but also identify the things that are false within each system, to shed light upon the Opposition. This does not mean that any of these systems are to be disregarded completely. It is more to learn how best to hold virtue from within our circle as we expand it, giving us knowledge as to how it will be opposed.

Education

Our societal circles have put in place systems that draw new beings, children, further into knowing. We know some of these to be educational systems design to transfer knowledge to all individuals equally. They are often limited systems, by design, thinned down to contain only information the society considers to be both true and reasonable for use once a being is ushered into adulthood and expected to pay service to the circle of society. The benefit for an individual comes with being given access to knowledge and granted time to share in the knowing, often in a disconnected and disembodied fashion reading others words and grasping written concepts.

That the education systems are balanced for exchange before one comes to the table, the questions of Exchange are compromised; Do I matter? is determined on whether or not one achieves successful evaluation and testing results and Does this matter? depends on the quality of the placement of one inside the system. In the terms of Exchange, it is up to the one to continually add to the scales that are already weighed down, and balance is not the goal, rather imbalance in overachieving to keep with the undermining competition in play.

Education is a false exchange in the sense that the individual is challenged to change a No to Yes or hold the Yes of others inside the system. The system is a forced exchange if one wants to be an active, useful part of the circle of society. That the circle of society holds an expectation that one master the balance of the education system to be deemed worthy of better exchange shows the system is in opposition of the one. It also puts them in opposition with one another, what we praise as competition. Competition is a contemptible form of false exchange that lets circumstances and results give others the right to change our answers to Exchange, empowering beings inside the circle with justification as to why they have a right to determine them, and opposing virtue at all levels in looking for separation rather than joining.

Despite the system being corrupted by Opposition, there is still much opportunity for knowing for the one inside, for as all things in the Symmetry of Existence yield some balance or they would inevitably lose form. One can come to explore what others before them have found to be true or worth further knowing. One can also find shared being every so often inside the system, friendship and understanding with others that turn away from the competition and look instead to embrace the passion and excitement with others who are seeking and learning to hold Authority.

The system of education has its base in shared knowing, but also opposes in that it is a false authority. It positions itself as the only acceptable system for a being to hold true knowing. One might gain benefit within it from the exchange of knowing, but how we begin to see its false exchange and false authority is when we look to see how it handles our questions. Where there is Opposition, such as manipulation and intimidation in play, there is always a false.

We need look at our question, Why am I? and Why is This? to reveal the false authority in the system of education. The system promotes the allowance of one to answer their own question of Why am I?, yet it seeks to answer this indirectly for all within. That it is part of a larger system that only places value on What am I?, the education system looks to replace this questions of Authority and leaves one lost, having forgotten or not knowing to give the answer to their question on Authority. This makes it harder for them to hold the question within themselves. The education system also looks to dismiss the question Why is This?, once again with focus on the importance of the what. All of this design to make one useful and only allow those with the most use to be known.

This does not mean the system itself is without purpose or holds no value in Exchange, just that we are valid to feel the pressure and pull from within the education system. As we expand our circle, it is important for us to see the false as well as the true. We must begin to see the Exchange and Authority for what it is, what it asks or takes from us, and understand how the Opposition looks to undo and disavow.

Religion

There have been many forms of religion throughout the history inside the various circles of society. Religion is a system of belief that has its focus on Authority. It looks to answer the why for all beings: Why am I and Why is This? That a religion looks to hold and force the answer, we have understanding that it easily becomes a false authority.

There have been quite a few religions when the circles of society did not share the same space. Most of these systems of belief contained many representations of authority figures which held the parts of Existence that surrounded the beings, the parts that could not be claimed and controlled under their own authority. But most of these religions shared in having a representation of a central being with ultimate authority to rule over all, usually a male figure with great power and a quick temper. And as the circles began to expand and the beings collide, so too did their systems of belief, and was only the concept of a central figure of true authority that remained accepted in the process of the circle becoming one.

It was then when the figure of God emerged. This God was cast in the same image of the male-dominated systems of authority that ruled over the circles of society. A God that holds the ultimate authority over all, that judges and damns, that gets angry and undoes, that favors the few in spite of the many. One only need to hold Humility for just a moment and the question Perfection asked it to hold, Who is like God?, to know that this representation of God is a False Authority, based in sin rather than virtue.

Many beings often recognize the Opposition of religion for it does not hide itself well. It often uses direct opposition in force and intimidation to push the answer for Why is This? upon all. The religious system then pulls one's other question of authority, Why am I?, using indirect opposition, removing one's feelings of worth and purpose with shame, guilt, and fear.

When a system of society beings to establish more freedom for the beings within due to a protective authority of goverment which understands and honors the rights of its beings to hold Authority. These religious systems are unable to use direct opposition and begin to rely heavily on indirect opposition in the form of proselytism with the projection of blame and fear towards those that are not in the system, as well as actively trying to influence the governmental system that diminished their Authority. Although these beings have been freed from the Opposition to once again hold Authority, the system's ongoing Opposition to try to re-establish its hold creates a divide between the beings inside the circle of society impacting Kindness (shared kind) the most.

The concept of shared belief is a valid one. It does seem that most religious systems to date do not empower the beings within or evolve past ancient scripts that cast Authority as pointless, and Perfection as sinful. That the virtues, the parts of Perfection contained inside the archangels were also established in these ancient times, you have to wonder why their shared being is not represented in these systems? That one religion, the Catholic faith, knowingly removed them from the system in fear they would be worshiped before God. Yet, they are the very parts of Perfection that enable us to join in belief. It may be that the desire to answer the questions of Authority, rather than hold them, makes growing the circle of shared belief much more challenging and vulnerable to Opposition?

You might be at the ready now to cast aspersions for I failed to highlight those religious systems that are more about shared belief or to defend the one you have entered into for all of the virtue that you see within. It is here I remind that it is your circle and our journey. Our path is not one where I shall hand you the answers, for that would make me a false authority as well. All I do provide is the revealing, the opportunity for shared knowing of the Symmetry of Existence, insight into our share circle, and the ability to recognize the Opposition wherever it may be.

Science

Science means knowledge. It is a system of knowledge that is considered reliable for it can be both tested to be true and proven to be real. Education leverages science in their system of knowing, and any education system without science in its shared knowledge would be considered lacking in the exchange it offers.

What is true about science is its purpose: the pursuit of knowledge. It is a true authority in that the one holds the questions of Authority and looks to find and share the answers to Why am I? and Why is This? Science also offers true exchange, where the questions remain and the one may look to see if its answers match. The shared knowing that science has offered the circle of society is well proven, providing a wealth of knowledge to build upon, grow, enhance, and provide new reward in exchange.

That Opposition has tried to corrupt science with promoting fear of the dangers of knowing in what it reveals, or ask those to leverage the knowledge for sin, should not be confused with its overall purpose and exchange. But what makes science closer to Perfection is that it allows the many to share in the knowing, and any danger that exists in the one is Opposition itself. It is up to the one to hold their own authority as they use the knowledge. Science leads with humility, putting emphasis on the questions and seeking answers that are true to share. Where science stumbles is when those that hold their authority in its name begin to look to be the Authority, or rather become prideful in the power they feel in the knowing or they feel Science has already found the answers to Authority. For even though Science is a true authority, it only seeks to answer Why am I? and Why is This?, and it has in no way provided such answers.
