‘It is so empowering to say this isn’t serving me and then to walk peacefully away.’ Anon
If there ever was a time for major change to happen, now is that time. I’m not just talking about tweaking our current dystopic system where the 1% currently lord it over us, but a real change where the 99% take the lead and move out of the age of the destructive Anthropocene and into in to the age of sustainability. We need a word to describe an age where humans live in harmony with the natural world and each other – the Pathoscene perhaps using the Greek root of Empathy? Or, Einfühlungcene using Rudolf Lotze’s German translation of the Greek empatheia that seems less catchy although memorable. Yet, there is that word again – empathy. I covered this previously in an earlier post ‘Spiritual Crisis is the World’s Greatest Problem Part 2 – Cultural Sensitivity and Empathy’ but it is at the center of human development and growth. And this includes us being honest with ourselves as well to live a live of self-integrity.
Self Integrity – to be 100% honest with yourself in every given moment. To face your dark-side and all the demons that haunt your fears. Ask yourself continuously: Why am I saying or doing this? Is it to gain recognition from others to increase my sense of self? Is it to show I am powerful because I really feel powerless? Is it to impress others because I don’t feel I have any real worth? It takes courage and strength to truly look in the mirror and see your weaknesses and fears exposed to yourself. As Mother Teresa once said, there is a Hitler and a saint in every one of us – which one is expressed is completely up to you. When you are willing to face yourself and see your dark-side, you open up spiritually and gain more inner strength and empowerment to be the authentic you living without fear. You can Love yourself and accept all the features that make you, who you are. Being You is letting yourself be authentic and not being driven by other people’s acceptance and expectations of what they think you should be. Projections, expectations, and judgments are the major problems in accepting ourselves and others (e.g. Dain Heer).
Facing the Future – If you are always saying that I can’t yet, or that change will happen sometime in the future, then it is always in the future. You have accepted the world as it exists now with all its problems and suffering. Anytime you set anything to the future is always in the future until you begin to make it begin now. What world do you want to see NOW? Start making it happen now? If you want community and a sustainable future, what can you do not to start making it a new reality and thereby set an example of others to follow your example. Be the courageous guide and not the fearful sheeple.
What is the worst thing that can happen if you begin to make change part of your life? This illusionary scenario you create in your mind can make you so fearful that you stay with what you do not like or want. It is better to stand up for something you believe in rather than fight against something you do not like. Note the difference here. The former is based in living a dream of something better, while the latter is fighting against the old with only a hope of some kind of change. Acting on your heart’s desire and following through with passion creates a better world, while acquiescing to the status quo merely maintains the fear, which is how the Cabal controls everyone.
Economies are not about money, although money can be a part. It is really about how we use and share resources. That is at the core of how we need to live. This fun ride with consumerism was OK while the ones who benefitted from it did OK, but this lockdown should have awakened a good many people to just how controlled we all have been to the whims and control of the corporate systems run by the psychotic cabal. To put it really simply about money. In the USA, the difference between a 1-dollar, 5-dollar 10-dollar, 20-dollar, 50-dollar and 100-dollar bill of money is literally just the number printed on it in green ink. Other world currencies use pretty colored paper currency, but the number is all that make one piece of paper worth more than another piece of paper. Let that sink in for a few seconds. If this artificial money system hasn’t been obvious to you yet, then as I have said several times in this blog, money controls us because we let it control us, and with it the whole system of consumerism in which it exists – it is all artificial. How many of you chase money to make your life work? How’s that working out for you at this time? Once you realize that you control yourself and stop letting the system control you is when a new world opens up for you.
To paraphrase from Nassim Nicholas Taleb, “The difference between a technocracy and slavery is that slaves are fully aware that they are not free.” So how is technology enslaving us? Don’t get me wrong, I love technology, but I want the power to control it not the other way around. Throughout all the current dystopic system is a pattern of enslavement to the system. Once you wake up and see it, your life changes. The red pill is empowering – but don’t let what happened to Neo in the Matrix movies scare you away from acting – it is a wonderful metaphor, but computers are not using us as batteries, but the world we see is the one that has been carefully scripted for us such that we never question it – that’s what being asleep means and why becoming awake is to see the man behind the curtain – how many clichés can I use in one sentence?
I want to take this empowerment idea a lot further, but first a little more awakening. I need to explain a little more about how this Covid-19 fiasco is trying to enslave you more.
