HOW DID WE BECOME SO
CONFUSED ABOUT REALITY? 💎

That may be the question A Course in Miracles is really trying to answer. Its answer is almost absurdly simple:

We believed our own interpretation.

In the Course’s story, there is the tiny mad idea of separation, and instead of recognising it as meaningless, the mind takes it seriously. From there come guilt, fear, projection, and, eventually, a world outside ourselves that seems to explain why we feel frightened and divided.

Then the confusion becomes convincing.

The body says, “I am here.” The eyes say, “There is a world out there.” Pain says, “Something outside me has hurt me.” Death says, “Life ends.” And generation after generation inherits the same interpretation and calls it reality.

What I love about ACIM is that it doesn’t ask us to replace one complicated worldview with another. It keeps bringing us back to something much simpler: "Perhaps what I am seeing does not mean what I think it means?"

"I gave everything I see all the meaning it has for me."

That changes everything. Because if reality itself is not broken, then reality does not need repairing. Only perception does. And perhaps even that is too much.

Sometimes the confusion simply stops being fed. The commentary goes quiet.

And reality is still there.

Ah yes, because what the world truly needs is yet another way to emulate the cloud ☁️ - as if #AWS, #GCP, and #Azure weren't already confusing enough. 🤦‍♂️ Let's just hope this doesn't lead to a support group for those suffering from "cloud identity #crisis." 😜

Here I spin a yarn about an efficient method of using orientalism to support israel. 🧶

Win! A NSW Supreme Court judgment has clearly distinguished criticism of Israel from antisemitism, settling important questions about the IHRA conflation and its weaponizing by governments and institutions.

“The IHRA core text is so verbose and imprecise that it could not realistically be attributed to the ordinary, reasonably informed member of the Australian public,” Justice Fagan says. The examples, he says, “indicate that the IHRA wording is not intended to give effect to the extant common understanding of antisemitism” but is directed to grafting “onto the community’s abhorrence of antisemitism, understood as hostility to Jews for their Jewishness, a parasitic rejection of protest against Israel. Seen in that light, the IHRA proposal is detached from the reality of the common usage and understanding of antisemitism in this country.”

"In 2023, 60 per cent of Australians rejected a constitutionally recognised Voice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. A body that could only make representations, only on matters concerning the people whose ancestors have been here sixty thousand years.
"Too much, the No campaign shrieked. Division. Privilege. Special treatment.
"Nine months later, Anthony Albanese handed Jillian Segal what the Voice never dreamed of asking for. Not a right to be heard. Power. No election. No parliamentary vote. No hearing. A three year commission reporting personally to the Prime Minister, with a mandate reaching into every campus, newsroom, classroom, gallery, charity, arts contract and visa file in the Commonwealth."

No, I quit at an early age

Is this a silly question or is it just me?

Three Things Challenge ✅

Your three words today are:
ALTER
ALTAR
AFTERWARDS

After seeing the daily prompt my first reaction was ‘Who comes up with this silly shit?’ I instantly thought of altering the question but quickly added Di’s fantastic three word challenge to it instead. Afterwards I still can’t comprehend who could really think this is/was a good question.

So in my typical tradition I will offer a solution to satisfy my altered thinking by suggesting we make an altar to recognize these not so great thinkers making prompts like this.

Welcome to the Altar of the Pointless Prompts. Open Daily at 12:00 A.M.

Come in, sit down and try to comprehend the confusion.

"If the Royal Commission is serious about investigating the nature of antisemitism and its 'key drivers', it should begin with Australia’s Israel lobby – the leading proponents of the conflation of antisemitism with antizionism."

Foreign influence in Australia

"The reach [of the Israel lobby] extends into the newsrooms and it has been there for decades. Veteran ABC journalist John Lyons documented it in his 2021 book Dateline Jerusalem, writing that in forty years of journalism he had never encountered a lobby as formidable, well-funded, or relentlessly effective as the pro-Israel lobby in Australia, and that material the lobby succeeded in suppressing here was routinely published in Israel without consequence or controversy."

"Germany is open about its uninhibited support for Israel‘s war of extermination and genocide in Palestine, and wants to make sure the entire world sees it."

"Establishment forces have translated Holocaust remembrance chiefly as support for Israel, elevating its protection to a German Staatsraison (national interest) coupled with zero tolerance for criticism of Israel, which is automatically treated as antisemitism".

Connu pour organiser des visites de parlementaires en Israël, le lobby Elnet se trouve derrière un meeting du collectif « Agir ensemble », avec le soutien de Bruno Retailleau et Manuel Valls.

« Combattre l’islamisme, tel un dôme de fer », est-il inscrit sur le site du collectif « Agir ensemble ». Une référence explicite au système de défense aérienne mobile israélien conçu pour arrêter les attaques de roquettes lancées depuis la bande de Gaza et le Liban. Le meeting du collectif se tient d’ailleurs au Dôme… de Paris, Porte de Versailles.

Au lancement d’« Agir ensemble » le 18 décembre 2023, le président d’Elnet-France, Arié Bensemhoun, était bien présent devant un parterre d’invité·es dont la polémiste Rachel Khan, Michel Onfray ou encore l’écrivain Mohamed Sifaoui, grand ami de Manuel Valls.

L'État allemand a lié sa propre renaissance dans le "royaume des nations civilisées" au travers d'une relation de protection particulière de la figure du Juif, où les Israélien·nes (toujours juif/ves) sont une incarnation primordiale de la vie juive.

"Tant que la figure du Juif restera un vecteur d'articulation et d'expérimentation de l'identité allemande, l'accomplissement de la différence collective et de l'action politique juives sera relégué exclusivement relégué à l'État d'Israël. La figure du Palestinien, ainsi que la sujétion politique des Palestinien·nes et leurs revendications d'égalité, seront à leur tour considérées soit comme un désagrément à éviter, soit comme une menace à criminaliser, plutôt que comme un prisme décisif pour reconnaître les multiples niveaux de violence morale légitimée en Allemagne. "

Saw a lady on TikTok trying to organize all the “we choose the bear” women into carrying around a teddy bear as a symbol of solidarity, and I love it! And would love to see it. But then I had a pang for all the poor Daddies out there who think “The Littles are suddenly coming out of the woodwork, I had no idea there were so many!” Talk about a namespace (well, symbolspace) collision…

Alors que le préfet des Hauts-de-France veut rompre le contrat liant l’État français au groupe scolaire Averroès, les élèves et la direction se battent pour défendre leur établissement, soutenues par quelques élus.

La Ligue des droits de l’homme ainsi que la Confédération générale des travailleurs, CGT-Enseignement privé déplorent également une « politique de deux poids deux mesures » et affirment que « les établissements d’enseignement privé catholiques ne sont pas aussi scrutés ».

Sihame Assbague (le 28 nov. 2023 sur X) :

"Le lycée Averroès, l’un des plus anciens lycées musulmans de France & le 1er à avoir obtenu un contrat avec l’État, va perdre ses financements publics. Pourquoi ? Des motifs fallacieux, comme d’hab. L’État poursuit sa persécution & son démantèlement du tissu associatif musulman.
Il y a très peu d’établissements scolaires musulmans en France (une trentaine). Parmi ces établissements, seuls 3 sont sous contrat avec l’État. Le lycée Averroès [est] l’un d’eux.
Et contrairement aux autres établissements confessionnels, ils sont mis sous pression constante.
En interdisant le voile & en criminalisant constamment certains élèves, l’État les pousse en dehors du système de l’Éducation nationale. Les rares établissements musulmans apparaissent alors comme des alternatives… mais là encore, l’État criminalise et persécute.

Sur la répression des établissements scolaires musulmans, 2 articles à lire :
