We are Slaves. All of us.
You are all slaves
I am writing from a desk.
Provided by my employer
I work to feed my family
To provide them with an opportunity
Greater than my own.
To build a base of home,
a social/financial/agricultural/cottage industry/ genetic meeting point
That despite paying the bank
I will always owe the state for my annual rent
A bargain for roads and services
That your property is up for collateral
You are all set to be expelled from your homes with the possessions you can drive away with the moment your bank account runs dry
By definition, slave, when you produce goodness for your home center you are maintaining your home.
When you, slave, stockpile a bank account with positive numbers you find you can maintain your home for the future. Feeling the gratitude for less toil and more time at home center.
Yet we know, the possibility of death is 100%
The possibility of calamity slowly sweeping away our wealth as we age is very high. So we buy insurance to pad the fall. To prolong wealth as our bodies degrade and our ability to provide diminishes.
We realize from a young age that work is a life giving process. A generator of good in our lives. Yet we attempt to overreach attempting to surpass life’s many winters in preparation for the nursing home.
We complain that change is hard. That growing wealth is a scale tilted against you.
That industry wins over the individual
That government and industry ally to roll like tanks
Political and social movements ally to roll like tanks
Both in effort to take power
Over the bodies of all who dare to stand in the way
We do this for our children
To ally with power.
To group together for the best protection of our existence and experience
For the preservation of good experience to our children
For them we sell our souls to social contract
We sell our bodies to work for money
But our souls we give to social and political groups
Let us not make useless words.
Because your life has a purpose.
Because it will end. Your death will happen.
Perception is tied to action.
All change happens on the sacrifice of one life for another.
Your choice of life desired is the sacrifice you make to get it
You ally yourself to what power for the best guarantee of safety. You can only better your reality as much as your allied powers allow.
What you sacrifice for determines your high ability as well as your low ability. But the object of aspiration governs the reward. And your effort in the sacrifice and the circumstance feeding your ability to achieve dictate how well you receive your reward.
1. Are you satisfied with it?
2. If you want to change something, you can.
3. In order to change anything you must know what is true.
4. If you know the truth. You now know how you want to live
5. The change that happens is your sacrifice
6. Are you living it? What you plan to retire to is the way you should live now.
7. If your means are not great enough, you have proud destinations for yourself. Ask if you are too proud to be happy where you are.
Life seems to say choose your reward, but understand you are choosing a master.
Once the reward is chosen. Your whole being is driven by it and for it. Life is the continual refining of this goal. Either into failure or into success.
Once done and the reward gotten. There are 2 things that move things forward:
1. “Now what?”
2. Is it worth the pain/ Could there be a better way?
If the path of life is worth it then one will continue to repeat the cycle of life. But the idea that there could be a better way will keep you searching.
The idea of now what is the idea that something was conquered. A reward fully embodied. But now something else must be done.
There is no reward big enough that would cause a person to stop pursuing more good.
If you want to see good change. Start with yourself. See that you have your needs met.
Not your wants.
Food, water, shelter. With these elements comes a deep acceptance of circumstances. You must accept that you are both good enough to have these things and that life creates unfairness that you will have what others do not. And that others will have what you will never have.
Now see to your neighbor has his needs met.
Repeat.
This too is empty work. Particularly in America as most needs are met. Yet we are in debt for all the many things we want. We both want and feel deprived of; more because we can’t risk more debt to fill our want. Because to fulfill...
