Prayers Are Good, Bread Is Better, Teaching How To Bake Is The Best

"You Know, Sometimes When A Person Has Their Cart Stuck In The Mud,
They Don't Need Advice,
They Don't Need Therapy,
They Don't Need A Good Meal And A Warm Blanket,
What They Need Is Somebody To JUMP In The Mud With Them And Help Them Push Their Cart Out."

Our society has such a "hands-off" approach to helping each other.

Pills.
Therapy (with lots of Patient / Therapist professional distance).
Charity in the form of food, clothing and shelter.

But, what people really need a lot of the time, is for someone to jump into their life, and literally pull them out of a bad situation.

The Past : Rigid Social Stratification. The Present : Brutal Competition To Cross Classes. The Future : No Classes, Empowerment Based Society

In the past, human beings maintained a strict hierarchy. There was no movement possible between the classes of a society. Son of a Blacksmith became a Blacksmith. Son of nobility, stayed nobility.

In the present, the emphasis is on fighting and competing. It is possible to move across the classes, to scrape and claw one's way up to the top of the social ladder. But the process is a battle, and your fellow human beings are waiting in the wings to shunt you aside, or walk over you if you stumble.

The future MUST BE human beings encouraging, supporting, and believing in each other unconditionally. The disappearance of class because people support each other to becoming anything they want in life.

The most important question is :
What do you believe is human nature?

Your answer will tell you which model you think is right.

Is It In Human Nature To Have Hierarchy?

Question : Is it in human nature to have hierarchy?

My Answer : No. I think anyone can do anything when they believe in themselves and are believed in by others. When a person has confidence in themselves and others have confidence in them, there is nothing a person cannot do.

Money Is The Product Of Mistrust

"Money Is The Product Of Mistrust." - David Julio Wang

Money = Mistrust

Solution?

The Star Trek Future.

People work because :

1. They know their society cares for them and will take care of them
2. Knowing this, people care about their society and are determined to help it grow and prosper
3. Everyone has equal access to all resources. People take what they need. People don't take more, because that is taking from others, and people care about others as they know others care about them.

What Eckhart Tohle Teaches Us

"What Eckhart Tohle teaches us is how to block the world out, so that we do not become overwhelmed by the bucket loads of unhappiness and unfulfillment with which are competition focused world is saturated."

"Eckhart Tohle teaches us how protect ourselves from the onslaught of negative energy that a culture of fear propels us to hurl at each other everyday."

"Tohle teaches that the world is illusion and thus doesn't really matter and thus doesn't need to touch you, bother you, or influence you in anyway."
"The world of form is not reality, reality is what you believe it to be."

"Tohle teaches Solipsism"

"The gift Tohle gives is the one of the Bene Gesserit. To move in and out of the human stream at will."
"When life sucks, the world is illusion and form and thus insubstantial and of no real consequence and thus can be let go, never to touch or hurt you."
"When life is good...dive back into that human stream and enjoy the party! Wooh!"
"...and if life starts sucking again, just climb out of the human pool and become an impartial observer, a god of seldom watching the human masses grind together from atop the ivory tower of self awareness."
"You are an island of self, an England, only to join the human mainland when it is nice, when not, back to the island of detached self awareness , and tranquil contemplation."

What do I think?

"I think prayer and awareness is good, bread and actually making the world a place I want to live in is better."

Instead Of Drenching Our Society In Fantasies Of A Meaningful Life...

...we create a society dedicated to insuring everyone is living a meaningful life.

So much fantasy everywhere.
All in an effort to satisfy in a small way the aching need of people to be living lives of excitement and purpose.

The next step is obvious.
A society which dedicates itself to making sure people don't just fantasize about exciting lives, they live them.

The Current Challenge For Humanity Is To See What It Does With Those Among Us Whose Worth Is Not Immediately Apparent

"The Current Challenge For Humanity Is To See What It Does With Those Among Us Whose Worth Is Not Immediately Apparent."

Humanity has always celebrated the flashy ones.
The ones with plenty of raw talent and impressive abilities.
Capitalism celebrates competition : a state where the fastest and most competitive are able to garner more of the wealth for themselves.

The true test for humanity now is to see what it does with the slower among us.

Everybody Needs A Sensei

"Everybody Needs A Sensei."

Someone who is always patient and wise.
Someone who tells you that to overcome challenges, what you need to do is train.
Someone who tells you they believe in you, trains you, you overcome your challenges, and you feel worthy of their faith in you.

I Am Miserable. I Hate This Capitalist Society. And I Am Happier Than I Have Ever Been

I am unhappy.
I am fairly miserable.
And...that makes me happy.
I'm happy that I am aware of how unhappy I actually am.
No lies.
No "looking on the bright side".
No "rose colored glasses".
Just the truth.
I don't like this world.
I don't like this society.
I resent being brought into a mess of a world and being expected to fix it.
I wouldn't have done it to someone else, and, I will do my utmost to fix things for my own children.
But...since all children are my children, I already have a lot of work to do.

----

It occurred to me recently that I am happier than I have ever been.
Why?
Because I have never allowed myself to be as honest with myself as I am now.
I am miserable.
I hate this Capitalist society,
and,
that honesty makes me happier than I have ever been.

----

It "focuses" me.
The understanding that I do not like this society,
that I am miserable,
I have always been miserable.

All my "slacking".
All my watching endless hours of tv,
playing endless hours of video games.
All the "blocking out" of a world I found too unnpleasant to allow myself to be fully aware of,
were not my fault.
I was a child.
Children are taught by their elders how to survive in a harsh world.
I was poorly taught,
poorly trained.
I can feel my limitless potential, pulling at the fringe of my awareness, but I wasn't taught how to tap into it.
I was taught to be an obedient drone.
Conditioned to be amenable to dull, monotonous routine, to sitting in class being lectured to ceaselessly, without feeling an actual connection with the material.

----

It goes deeper than all that though.
I protect myself by being aware that I am miserable, by being honest about the fact that I am sad and unhappy.
By not "wasting energy" trying "to put a positive spin on things",
I have energy available for contemplation of how to fix the environment which is causing me misery in the first place.

----

It Is Liberating

I Don't Have To Be Thankful
- None of this, "let us give thanks" stuff that I feel forced upon me

I Don't Have To Try To Feel Good Because Starving Children In Africa Have It So Much Worse
- What I have to do is fix the world, so that Nobody is starving anymore

I don't have to feel obligated to being happy when I am not.
I don't even have to try to feel "as good as possible."
No.
I can feel as miserable as I want.
And that is just fine.

----

Being honest about being miserable,
gives me the freedom to find ways to be happy.
