911 and 77 (21)
The mind splits and we adopt a double set, a twin set, a double-mind, instead. There's no lacking of integrity; it's either present or it isn't. This loss, this disintegration of integrity is a coward's way out of a difficult situation. Perhaps he or she has no choice - most often they do.
But from then on, the word unity no longer applies to their minds.
Their's is now a mind-world of duplicity and deception not least to fool and kid one's self that all is well and all is unified and integrated when taking the blinkers off shows the reality quite clearly and it is not one of integrity; the person now has to work constantly to keep the two distinctly apart, moving smartly from one way of thinking to the other alternately to keep pace with the impossible circumstances.
Once that cowardly decision is made it becomes a self-punishing life, inside the mind, where the tension builds up that exists between these two opposing thought worlds that now are the person himself or herself - there is no distinction.
Small wonder then, in the light of the truth of 7/7 especially and before that the murder of princess Diana and miscellaneous cold blooded murders of good, consciencious people - often people who have integrity it has to be noticed - that he, this ex PM, is looking for a way out and has turned to the religions in his search for it but doesn't have the insight to know what he is really doing or trying to do.
He won't find it. (shades of The Prisoner creeping in, and quite appositely too)
Little does he know that he has jumped from the frying pan into the fire.
It amazes me how childishly little insight or understanding these public figures of authority actually possess. Developing insight into one's own personal motives is hardly the stuff of the genius mind but far more a simple aspect of being grown up.
For us, well anyway for me to admire someone, or respect them, the last thing I need to see is their disintegrity, and I see it clearly so often that it seems to be the rule more than any exception. It's not a bad apple in a barrel of good ones; it's a barrel load of rotten apples and the good ones are contaminated within hours of joining them; that's how I see it.
Break and pause for light refreshment, coffee and biscuits...
