Consumer slavery

groks

Look deep into the rabbit hole, find the motive, see the programming. More than 70% of the American economy is based on consumerism. This is a beast we are speaking of, it lives and is directed for the benefit of an end game. We think we are free of mind. We are not, our thoughts are provoked. Mankind has been deliberately enslaved by debt due to rampant consumerism. The corporate Illuminati structure manipulate the mass media with subliminal programming. People are consuming without understanding the why of it. If you don't think you are being programmed try this little experiment.

For a six month period track the spending of your household. Cut off the television and radio for the second half of the year and see if your household consumption naturally ebbs.

Three times in my life I have lost everything I owned. I can confidently tell you each experience was a fantastic catharsis. Gone from my life are the trinkets and baubles of my past, photos, diplomas, gadgets and widgets all gone. In lieu of the superfluous expenditures my family finds other addictions like books and music.

Herein lies the motive, they don't want you to expand your mind, the power structure want abeyance and control. The more money you spend buying a home and all the toys and trinkets the more you find debt. " In debt we trust " becomes the mantra of the twenty first century. How does the average Joe spend his time? Working for at least forty hours per week becomes the norm, tack on another five or so hours for transportation. After meeting the demands of the home, only a few hours per day are left for reflection.

Big boss has another idea. Instead of reflection let's program people to occupy their " spare time " with frivolous entertainment like television and gaming. Look around people, how many average Joe citizens choose to pick up a book with the intent to expand consciousness? The economy of the world is being held together by momentum and programming.

Fear is the greatest commodity being pumped into our brains and most people can't even see how it separates us from the power of ONEness.

Go ahead, pay your next cable TV bill, but while you do, know that you are buying fear and paying the man to program your brain. Breaking the addictive programming is not easy. It all starts with seeing the motives and choosing to fight the system. Believe me when I say World War III is now. The war is for the ability of the individual to maintain integrity and control over his/her mind. The corporate Illuminati structure are making great leaps and bounds with mind control, RFID chipping, HAARP and mass media mind programming are just three examples of the new weapons of war. You have a choice, you can take the blue pill or the red pill. You can break free of the matrix. Each person needs to wake up to the reality of war. If you allow them to program you then are you not complicit in giving away your freedom? Fear is the commodity, give it back to them. Step out of the commercial matrix, liberate your mind.

Namaste, my brethren, freedom from slavery.

agreed. start unplugging from the grid now.

backyard perspective

I hope my backyard perspective on free-will and self-discipline seems to resonate with this blog. I'll try to cram together many parts, for fun.

It takes free will to choose enslavement for our mind. By commission or omission, free will choice is made individually. Is the average person too ineffective? To involuntarily for making good choices? Is the average person too lax? To educate their will in wisdom or knowledge? To succeed with any creative plan? I think plenty of choices come, plenty go and some recycle or transform in many ways. That proves to me that free will has acted, continuously. It is not completely hopeless, then.

Possibly the main trouble has been resting on 'laurels' or indulging too much in short term successes. Sort of 'blown away', or awe struck, so that progresses subsides or stops. A good mind can also will to probe chaos or can will-against achieving any judgement-made. Faults found with a person's will, might defy judgements of it. However what really deserves judgement, is the broad public trend. Is freedom developed or increased in society? Is slavery installed undetected? Have the traps of materialism nudged the masses, into that pit of material slavery?

I'd prefer optimistic views. Kind of like a 'staring contest'. Who blinks first? Who is just moaning or nodding off? Who is noticeably deceiving? Who is cheating?. At some point extensive agendas are launched and some are detected. Better analyses to see through and beyond is wanted. With advancing tech, more of us can look or see beyond. But we are challenged with our own limited knowledge or wisdom. We are held to the level we have personally achieved (with our own self development). Or we are challenged with the masses who may be focussed against our choices.

Just how many crazy-agendas can crystalize over generations is not so clear to me. I have scanned through a few of these things. How much could a cult or secret group advance a secret agenda? Such things all face the same challenges of new wills born into this world. Free wills are born. All alpha wills eventually die, just as the passive wills die. May the succeeding generations entrusted with these legacies, steer towards better causes. Ratchet our way out of the confusion and ignorance. Every small personal gain can add to the whole crescendo. May the hands which rock the cradles, rock them for the enlightenment of all.

fits well.

Your comments fit well my friend. I guess at the end of the day the term free will, like much of the venacular of today needs redress. The commentary reflects how the dark side of society dominates and indoctrinates the individual mind. The issue of soft kill of the mind of course is not conjectural, it is real. However an argument can be made to insist free will is the engine which switched the television on. The parallel we can see is that we would benefit by waking up both spiritually and mentally.

Namaste, my brother Artgineer, love conquers all.

Kudos!

You speak the truth my friend.

Killing us softly

Soft kill = hard sell.

Are we so stupid as to sit around a dinner table and have our thoughts controlled by a box that puts the fear of God into us and then pushes the pharmaceutical companies down our throats to ease the pain?

Why is it so hard for people to see that we sacrifice slivers of ourselves every time we engage mass media to inform or entertain us?

They are killing us softly with their words.

We are subjected to more advertisements in a week than previous generations saw in a year. Every advertising dollar is spent on the same propaganda -- we are ill-equipped as humans. We must buy to survive in the world. To feel better about ourselves we must consume. To feed our self-esteem, to propagate the white lies we tell ourselves to get by. I shop therefore I am.

Hell, if you listen to AM talk radio you would think it is our duty as “good Americans” to go out and consume more to solve America’s woes. NO. The best duty we can perform as an Americans at this point in the game is dissention, unafilliation, and revolution. It is the basics of freedom.

America is sick. We are not.

-Prophet Steve

As I wrote this my mp3 player picked up the song Fake Wood Trim by Emmet Swimming so I have included the lyrics…

“Failure’s like a scarlet letter
How do you like me better?
It’s old truth out
New truth in
Freedom’s not something
You fight for
It’s just the key
That locks us in
And what did your father die for?
A cupboard house with fake wood trim”

Synchronicity...

I like the way you think Steven. How about that music synchornicity, don't you think that sort of stuff is happening so frequently these days? Our world is changing, the power structure of the bankster pigs is falling apart. It is time for a revolution, of the people and for the people. Kennedy would be proud of Americans like you Steven.

Namaste, my brother Steven, truth is a warm blanket.

Damn you marketing schemes!

I stood in the aisle of the supermarkert staring at the "new" glade candle sets, three beautiful looking candles each with its own holiday scent, and oh! how I wanted them! Below was a three pack of a new holiday scent febreeze, each over ten dollars,......I stood there looking at them, wanting them, wishing I could buy them each cause somehow they would make my house happier, if only I could afford them I thought, and I gave the imaginary rich folk I seen in my head buying these items the stink eye. As I walked away feeling sad, I looked down at my milk and my hamburger and I realized it was these items I need for survival, not some silly smell good candles! and I hailed Damn you Glade! Damn you for making me want your candles! For making me feel I was less worthy cause I couldnt buy them!!
I walked out of that supermarkert with my head held high. Back home to my house to bake my own Apple Pie to fragrance it! So there marketing industry! Take that!
:)
~Peace & Sunshine~

Well done...

This comment is a great example of how much effect the programming has on the mindset of the average person. We are taught that if we are not absolutely beautiful and considerably successful then we are somehow diminished. This is an absolutely insane thought process. You are the essence and perfection of God. You are a beautiful caring and loving being.
Take a close look around, see how the rich behave. Now tell me who are the psychopaths and deviants. Last time I checked the poor person would give you the shirt of his back and the rich would not even give you the time of day. I say piss on all those who fail to share their wealth. Bow down to the poor man who shares his love and poverty with his neighbour. Sorry for being crass Jessba but this subject reflects one of the few things I still have trouble dealing with.

Namaste, my sister Jessba, your perfection shines through never let it go.

We are the Key

Truth is something few of us know. You speak the truth. Thank you.
Peace & Love

Consumerism could work to

Consumerism could work to the benefit of the people if we put regulation on big business and abolished the federal reserve. Right now capitalism is running rampant because there isn't any form of law to regulate it. The Fed currently doesn't answer to anyone and it hasn't EVER been audited.

We can discuss the evils of consumerism as something that is a detriment to the well being of the mind, but I would rather take the institutions of consumerism and use them as a means to empower the consumer and provide people with worthwhile employment- where employees wouldn't have to live up to some fascistic corporate standard. Take capitalism and make it the voting system of goods it was initially intended to be. If the consumer is empowered, things as socially taboo as psychedelics would eventually be integrated into the paradigm, I speculate.
-i

What is an "empowered" consumer?

The article didn't say a thing about capitalism, which I believe is what you're really interested in protecting. Consumerism is (as far as I can see) about addiction. Addicted people aren't free.

Do I sense a tone in your voice? (kind of kidding haha)

Well, consumerism is tied to capitalism. Don't the two exist in tandem with each other? I agree that consumerism is about addiction currently (perhaps even alienation and manipulation), but the initial idea behind the thing was that people use money to vote for products they actually want/need. Of course, we understand that this is not the case in our current economic paradigm. The current way of things is Wall Street dumbfuckery and corrupt business practices. I don't want to protect capitalism so much, as I'd rather bend it back to it's basic fundamental principles and eventually break it down into a more efficient means of production and, dare I say, consumption. Preferably, the production and consumption of resources which are renewable. I don't know, I'm still kind of working on a good replacement for capitalism. I'll let you know when I figure it out. Haha.

What I mean by "empowered consumer" would be something along the lines of say "learned consumer." A consumer will know what they're getting into instead of being bombarded with ShamWoW advertisements, sexy commercials, and clever psychological manipulation on an individual with colors and magic symbols. It's a matter of putting the power of the marketplace back into the people who spend their money on it. I'd rather do away with the whole institution of money, but one step at a time.

As far as "addicted people aren't free," I mean, sure I guess. People addicted to heroin are certainly chained down by their addiction, but people are addicted to everything, we have to be. Human WANT drives this addiction and our advancement. I want books because I'm addicted to reading. Does this make me a "slave" to books or reading? No of course not, I just like to read. Misplaced addictions, however, which cause detriment are usually ones that are done in excess. You can trip too much, you can watch too much TV, and drink too much alcohol, for example- but these things can be fine if you moderate yourself as not to fall overboard.

I don't disagree with the person who posted this blog, I was just sharing my idea, my take on this whole consumer mess, which I thought here on Evolver was an okay thing to do. We consumers are slaves, sure. It's just that, there is potential not to be. That's all I was saying.

New Economic Systems, and Addiction

The way I'd like to live is in an intentional society that thinks carefully about how it wants to permit advertising, and governs advertising -- a society of people who choose to make the society what it is, and that makes priorities collectively. A portion of income would go to shared concerns, a portion of income would go to savings for the future (or a date of leaving the society,) and a portion of income would be a person's personal choice what to do with, but with expectations that it goes to projects more or less in line with the person's stated ideals, dreams, and values.

The banking system would be run by the society itself.

There's nothing anti-capitalist here, because (A) this is entirely voluntary; I don't see on what grounds even the most ardent libertarian could object, and (B) individuals are still doing things by their own volition and direction.

We need to look at the time-frequency slice when considering freedom. "Freedom" to be momentarily tempted and then spend -- freedom to impulse, is not necessarily the freedom of highest concern. I would far prefer the freedom to set a budget, to live by that budget, and to have the support of the society in assisting the mastery of the flesh to meet that budget. That means, subduing those messages that stoke impulse purchases, and so on. I would rather do things reflectively, rather than impulsively, and I'd rather live in a society that fosters such reflection, and works to subdue such impulse.

I don't believe "learning" is enough -- we can learn all about some temptation, and still be powerless against it. I don't believe it is realistic to try to build people to withstand all the horrible temptations. (Worse, in our existing system, we are taught both to defend ourselves from traps, and to set ever evolving traps for others.)

People addicted to heroin are certainly chained down by their addiction, but people are addicted to everything, we have to be. Human WANT drives this addiction and our advancement. I want books because I'm addicted to reading. Does this make me a "slave" to books or reading? No of course not, I just like to read.

No -- we do not have to be addicted to anything -- and it is a very good thing to remove ourselves from addictions of all kinds.

I do not speak ill of instinct, desire, or even need (water); What I speak against is addiction -- and our consumer society fosters addiction.

If you are truly addicted to reading, then you are a slave to books and reading. If you are not addicted to reading, then you are not. The difference may be subtle, -- but how important it is!

You will know whether you are addicted or not, by whether you are able to cease in pursuit of the power of dream, or whether you fall to comfort.

We consumers are slaves, sure. It's just that, there is potential not to be. That's all I was saying.

Yes, there is potential -- a potential we need to turn into an actuality.

I understand and agree

I understand and agree mostly with what you have to say. A society that fosters intent, introspection, and functionality is certainly the kind of civilization I'd like to live in.

Keep in mind, I'm coming from a mindset that is trying to work through capitalism and "kill the bugs" so-to-speak. So my questions are coming from this perspective. I'm not limited to it and I get what you're saying for sure. This is just good discussion.

How does the society run the banking system itself? We do this already in the sense that people in our society run it. Humans have a tendency to muck up their creations because of ill will. How do you run the banking industry as a society?

You can divide wealth into this framework you suggested; shared concerns, future, and individual, but there is a lot of things to be separated into these categories. Where does housing fall under? Where does food fall under? Would people have to buy food, or would food be considered a "shared concern" and would-in a sense- already be paid for?

I'm no fan impulse buying. Every time I approach the checkout, I tend to scan the rack for random items which would peak interest. I never buy anything, but certainly the temptation is there. How do you curb that in a whole species? Advertising is a very powerful industry- by what means does one regulate advertising? Most obvious I suppose is law or something like the FCC, but to what degree do you censor what is allowed in commercials?

Learning may not be enough, but for the moment it's all you can do. You can't run into a CVS or Walgreens and wreck up the impulse buyer shelf. You can, but you'll end up probably paying fines and it's kind of jerk thing to do anyway. People have to learn about the nature of humans. How it's changed, how it is, and how it is changing. It's a far leap to remove these kinds of things from society.

We're talking about a lot of people too. There are many many people in this world. How do you manage all this money? How do you organize a population the size of the human race to function in such a way? How do you subdue advertising malpractice?

This is where I am right now. I see the finished product, I get it. I know the utopia we all have coded into our DNA (metaphor of course), but to avoid being a jovial anarchist shouting, "SMASH THE STATE," I seek a process. I think when it comes down to it, everybody wants to live in the same kind of society, it's just a primitive use of language that hinders us from getting the picture. That same language which makes people greedy and violent. I think it's about finding common ground and going from there. Understanding each other and ourselves is where we must start. So where do we go from there?

Addiction is a product of our society, certainly. But some addictions we can never get rid of. No matter how bad cigarettes are for you, there will still be tobacco connoisseurs (though in the right kind of society, tobacco probably won't be laced with formaldehyde and other poison. People would probably respect it more instead of chain smoking as well). Addiction is heavy subject and I could argue that there are good addictions (love, etc.), but I fear it'll just fall into semantics and the rest of this conversation is far to interesting to make it about addiction. I understand where you're coming from and in that sense, I agree.

I wish Evolver had an IRC-like function so the whole lot of us could talk in real time like this. This is interesting and fun conversation LionKimbro. I'm all for ideas.

Plausible Answers

I haven't explained clearly enough -- I am envisioning people creating their own societies, of say, 500-10,000 people each.

I don't dare touch "the huge stuff" (like the present day systems,) because I don't understand how to work with systems where we don't have some ability to experiment, to try things out, to learn from mistakes, to make new initiatives. The city, state, and national systems are so far beyond me, I don't think I can reliably make good proposals for tests.

"How does the society run the banking system itself?"

The society I envision starts as 50 people, then grows to 150, then grows to 500, then grows to 1,000. Banking/societies evolves and may well fragment with growth.

As a basic principle, interest paid on loans goes to the society's money pool.

You can divide wealth into this framework you suggested; shared concerns, future, and individual, but there is a lot of things to be separated into these categories. Where does housing fall under? Where does food fall under? Would people have to buy food, or would food be considered a "shared concern" and would-in a sense- already be paid for?

Food (breakfast, lunch, dinner,) are collective, hot dogs and coffee when you go out are individual. (Rather like how it works in my family.)

I would aim for housing that:

(A) is communally owned, individually "rented" (rent goes into the collective pool)

(B) ...and yet, "renters" can do whatever they like with the housing, and determine their own policies -- taking out walls, extensions, and so on.

I'm no fan impulse buying. Every time I approach the checkout, I tend to scan the rack for random items which would peak interest. I never buy anything, but certainly the temptation is there. How do you curb that in a whole species?

We don't have to curb the whole species -- we need to be practical, and apply where we can, in our own sphere. (Besides, people are different everywhere.)

These voluntary societies need, I believe, a spiritual pact between their members. Purity of intent -- that is really core; The starting point and the aim is perfect wholeness. When we look at each other, we need to not want to take advantage of one another. The importance of this cannot be under-emphasized: A very strong consciousness that we are here for each other.

So, if we find that someone has a weakness for a thing, and they say, "I have a weakness for this thing, please help me curb it," there is some imposition on us, be we can cooperate to keep them away from the impulse.

A society of 1,000 people, say, likely creates a grocery store; The people can discuss about how to do these things -- I envision societies of solidarity.

By now, you see that I am not talking about main stream society, -- the conventional society that we live in today: Where people live in atomic households, and where we do not extend feeling to the people in the grocery stores and on the trains, and so on.

Advertising is a very powerful industry- by what means does one regulate advertising?

What I am envisioning is something more than "intentional community" -- I am talking about "intentional society."

"Regulation" is not what we want, -- much more, we'd rather have sharing of ideals, sharing of dreams, and both license and conflict. When a paper or other stream of voice is identified, we want people to be able to make it their own. To put something offensive into the stream will be treated by attention and care, and ideally -- transformation.

I see nothing for us to do but to make societies from scratch. It may sound crazy, but there are plenty who have done it.

...but to avoid being a jovial anarchist shouting, "SMASH THE STATE," I seek a process. I think when it comes down to it, everybody wants to live in the same kind of society, it's just a primitive use of language that hinders us from getting the picture.

I agree with your spirit and the basic image, but I have a slight difference: I think people actually want to live very differently. When I think of "how someone wants to live," I ask myself, "What dreams are in that person?"

The destination of the human being is, I believe, a marvelously diverse world, with many worlds within it. Who's heart wishes to be constrained by someone else's image? (I know you envision nothing of the sort -- I am just articulating.)

Understanding each other and ourselves is where we must start. So where do we go from there?

We need to develop and articulate our visions. A vision of visions, and visions, and then the people will be attracted by the vision and we can start working on making them real, at the practical level.

We can start by making a group here on evolver, and a wiki -- how do you think about it?

I envision society very

I envision society very similarly. When Terence McKenna coined the phrase "psychedelic society" the image of a very colorful world where communities functioned in something like a neo-tribalist kind of fashion, where every town differed from the next and through intelligent use of psychedelics, people would understand the basic fundamental principles of love, truth, and what it means to be a human. That being a human is a absolutely insane thing to be and that life should be a positive experience.

What I mean by everyone wants to live in the same kind of society is exactly what you mean. Everyone wants society to be different in that it caters to the individual identity/dream/ambition instead of separating everyone into this or that demographic. We're just all very confused with the spoken word. We hear things like "democracy" and "communism" and the sort, and these words paint different pictures of how a society functions. The ideology you're talking about is nameless. It would just be "society" or "civilization." Which is what I think we all want. Real society. True civilization.

I'm all for radical restructuring of society, even if it means starting from scratch. It's just "crazy" enough to work!

We can start a group for sure. What would you want to name it? :P

New Societies group

Allright -- I just did the beginning steps of forming a group here; I called it "New Societies," and sent you an invitation.

Now to figure out how to

Now to figure out how to respond to it, heh.

another way...

I know you are looking for a way to make todays capitalist democracy work. Remember what Einstein said about solving problems. We cannot hang on to the old system and try to make it work, we need to completelty throw it all away and start anew. I advocate that we need to insist our economic agenda be that as we have in the nuclear family. I don't ask my children to pay for their supper. My wife does not charge the family for preparing the evening meal. The children are no running up a debt to my wife and I. We love each other unconditionally and work as a group. We share and give every possible consideration to the well being of everyone in the family. If one of my children were to get a better report card from school I will not offer greater reward or reduce the amount of love to the child who fails.
We need to eliminate money entirely and focus on living as the global family we truly are. No borders, no debt, no fear, only love and sharing.

Namaste. my brother Allseeing, fear to love will conquer all.

Well, love needs to hurry up

Well, love needs to hurry up on that conquering business! :)

£lavery = Debt of the Human Spirit!

Debt $lavery is all about the oppression of the human spirit. The more debt one accumulates the more hours people put into the system to work off their debts and that is exactly what the money ma$ters want. They increase the retirement age hoping that you die soon after so less "$ocial In$ecurity" or "pen$ion" benefits are paid out. It is the Slo-Kill of the human spiritual evolution. If I can't buy something in cash that I feel I "truly need" I save for it until I can...otherwise I've cut up all of my "credit cards" years ago and feel soooo much better for it! Namaste!

So very true...

My family never were and never will be big consumers. Knowledge is all we wish to consume. We probably pig out on library fines and book expenditures too much but we just can't help it. It is horrific how so many people are living lives of fear, dread and hoplessness. The worst crime I believe is when they affiliate their self worth with the amount of money they do or don't have. My God, that is such a disgusting thought it really does make me ill to the stomach. Just replying to the blog about the air fresheners made me ill. The sheeple keep grazing my brother, they could make me cry.

Namaste, my brother SoulTraveller, always a good word to say.

Turn off the TV

My TV burned out just after the warranty expired. I have not replaced it and have not missed it. It is amazing the things I have learned and the depths I have delved since then. It has been at least two months I think.
I am more than happy to live with out it and my 2 year old son will learn much more about what is happening around him.
The programming produces zombies and sometimes the programs malfunction. Though I think that may well be by design.

Koodos to you....

That my dear friend is called synchronicity. How apt that the bloody box could become the harbinger of it's own redundancy. Hip hip horrah to the gods of love, best regards to the little one.

Namaste, fear becomes love in one more home.

This is The Truth

.... and we shall all evolve and rise up out of this slavery because we know the truth, let's spread it!! and with these articulate words that you have posted GodIAm et al, I have even more faith that we are moving forward. the opressor is the fool, the fool carries no love in his heart ... the end is nigh .... we're flying high ....waving bullshit goodbye .... take a slice of this fun & love pie .... mmmmm .... i think fear will die

we have to accept the illuminati agenda
and laugh in the face of it, because they just can't get us down!

Let's inspire one another to open our hearts more and more each day, it's the only way to be ok

OPEN OUR HEARTS MORE AND MORE AND MORE

So true....

Such a good point to make. The Illuminati have two fundamental requirements, depopulation and spreading of fear. It is very important to understand the corporate illuminati structure. Understanding the soft kill aspects of their rule, the mind control techniques. Knowing their agenda and motives will allow for you to protect your neurological and pathological integrity.
However, it is equally important to know that you are the divine being, you cannot be defeated. Living in the knowledge a better future awaits is one of the most important aspects of manifesting global reality of peace and love. Focusing on fear will only manifest more despair and maya.

Namaste, my brother Piskey, fear wanes in the light of love.

Inhale and exhale satisfaction from this conversation

I agree. When I worked for a large corporation recently, I struggled with my ability to earn a living while also being responsible for the consequences of my participation in dismantling the sacred power of the soul.

One day I was having a conversation with one of my "superiors" about self-esteem. We were talking about the self-esteem of employees and how it affected performance. It felt weird to be having such an openly sleazy conversation because he kept suggesting that I offer self-esteem boosts to my employees only when they went above and beyond (which meant working excessively and bending their own virtues to fit the company's) like lab rats going through a maze for a piece of cheese, a hit of good 'ol fashioned approval. I expressed my difficulty with this concept. His response was sobering. He told me that we were in the business of self-esteem, that our product WAS self-esteem, that if people didn't have low self-esteem then we wouldn't have jobs. He told me that this is the way of survival in the modern world, and that I was a fool to not want to take control of this power and to milk it with my team of employees. I quit the job a week later.

And now, effectively, I have been living without money, truly, none, and traditional work for the last five months. It has been grand. I connect with the soul all day, my own and others. I help others to remember their magnificence in exchange for a taste of their innate gifts- true bartering, and it is beautiful... not easy, but beautiful. I remember ancient truths, I find myself performing rituals and ceremonies I cannot explain, even to myself, like I am being guided through life by some magnetism I could not afford to follow when I was making so much money.

But now, my question is this; Inside I feel whole, congruent, complete, in love with the love that I can now unmistakably identify as the collective "us" in our hearts. And, how do we build lives with this? I am fortunate to be in my family's house while I undergo this change, and I am so grateful to them for caring for my monetary needs while I forfeit the game. But now I am in so deep that I can't bring myself to chase money, though money seems a true necessity for survival. Our modern society requires it for space, for time, I would even say for connection.

Go sit in a park and watch people go by. See how many of them are willing to make eye contact... few. We are programmed to believe that community comes with a price tag, that rest only comes on a brand name mattress, that nutrition is something that must be collected in mass quantities from warehouse retailers. What has happened to us?

In this time when I feel complete, when I have unplugged from tv, radio, corporate, money, greed, competition, I must say that I feel high, better than I have ever felt in my life, awake and at peace with the world. It is so easy to understand energy and flow with it. I also feel terribly sad about the fact that the further I go into this the more alone I feel. In order to connect with brothers and sisters I must look to this pseudo-world, my e-life, because in waking life we do not even speak to one another any more unless it is over the matter of things- the things we want, the things we have, and the things we think about.

Anyone have a thread to pull? Who cares about money when there is love? But how do you get your surrounding community to share love when they believe that it is as much a commodity to be bought and sold as bicycles and toothpaste? In essence, if you do not sell it, how the hell do you share it with folks who only speak the vernacular- the all mighty language of commodification to the nth degree?

Namaste,

Virginia

How wonderful....

Reading your blogs over the last few months convinces me that you are on the right path. Follow your heart, help out where you can the ones you love. The world will always provide for your needs.

You are God there is nothing you do not already have.

The beauty of your response lies in the fact you choose to release everything and hold dear the only thing that matters, LOVE. I know you to be a wonderful loving person who has so much to share. Keep giving your love away it has made you so very rich. You are a beacon of light in a dark room, shine on, everyone will see and some will want the same.

Namaste, my 1derful sister Virginia, bare are the feet that touch the earth.

Namaste, my brother, yet again your love ripples across the pond.

got me cryin'

happy tears, from the heart, thank you for such kindness and support. Such a wealthy way to make use of the internet, to make use of yet another line of communication. Yes, love and a reverence for the darkness we must all endure along the birth canal. all around. There's plenty to share. May you receive as much soul nourishment as you give, each of you, and a special dish for you, GodIAm, for your words that bust open a gentle well spring of "yes"!

Namaste,

Ginnie Jester

Namaste...

Namaste, my sister. Love conquers all, we are one.

I totally agree

I normally don't watch any television. I was sick with the flu all last week and the first 3 days was in bed in a dark room as I could do nothing except read a bit. The last 3 days I still had little energy and since I was alone and was bored I turned on the tv and watched some old movies. Even after that I now feel spacey even though I muted most of the commercials. YUCK! I stay away from 'stuff' as a rule and shop at consignment stores. My biggest expenditure is tools for my creative outlet which is jewellery made out of fused glass, metal and beads. However, sometimes I wonder about that too as it is 'stuff'. I sell a bit of it to friends and mostly give away as gifts. I love to make things ...

Creativity is better than brain numbing TV and gaming ...

Hello...

I was looking on your bio to see if I could get a peek at your jewellery. Nice to see a fellow Vancouverite, what part of the city do you live? Sorry to hear your health was off, hope you enjoy a speedy recovery. The thing that annoys me most is the deception is not clearly seen. I cannot fathom how so much of the public fail to see the conspiracy of slavery we are forced to endure. Our world is changing, their time is at an end. Seeing the Illuminati structure crumble is balm to the burn.

Namaste, my sister Marlyn, fear becomes love.

It's only 'stuff' because that is how our minds are representing it to us at any given time. In reality, it Is little congealed light forms buzzing around. But that also doesn't mean all light forms are essentially equal.... because the whole is more than the sum of it's parts.

It could just as easily be tools or it could be garbage or it could be food or it could be art, or it could be god. That's up to you and your little reality bubble and however you want to make it.

Whether the debt is due to consumerism, or the consumerism is because of debt, that is a chicken and egg question. Because we are constantly pumping out fiat currency, our economy is under the incentive to grow or die, which means advertising, which is essentially only used for selling people what they don't need... in order to pump out more products (by liquidating the wealth of the natural world). It's really about converting the earth into stock, or numbers in a bank account, and less about actually creating things.

As for me, I treat material objects (and beings) the same as I treat books and videos... as a store of information (and we should also be treating our information as a material object). By creating objects we are printing information into the matrix (matrix means mother). Every material object has a life and a story and a soul to it, even the mass produced ones. But I'm not into collecting stuff personally. I've resisted my urges to collect Star Wars Legos. I do have some fossils and a bit of silver, glass and stones for making jewelry.

I agree, however...

Consumerism and debt can, to a certain extent, be a function of each other when speaking of the individual. However, the bulk of debt carried by the individual is a function of an illegal and immoral global banking system. By example, upon the inception of the federal reserve as creator of currency for the U.S. government America began it's steady and inevitable decline into poverty and second world status. The constitution of America specifically states that no outside institution can be given the authority to print money. This illegal activity goes on unchecked by the puppeteer governments who allow themselves to be controlled. Servicing the National debt has become the prime catalyst for every first world nation to become debt ridden. As a result of bankster manipulation of government most countries utilize more than 80% of their national income tax revenue to service national debt. Personally I would much rather see my next pay stub indicate a 7% federal income tax rate instead of the 35% I pay now to service Canada's debt.
Our system of taxation lines the pockets of the global elite yet no one is awake enough to even feel slighted let alone angry. Speak to most people about such issues and their programmed response will be to label you a conspiracy theorist. How the minds of society have become enslaved.
Five hundred years ago a slave had shackles and identified himself as slave. Today we are enslaved more completely than ever, our health is attacked, our nervous system and brain being bombarded by chemicals. Our minds are programmed beyond any wild Orwellian fantasy. Big brother will have us all chipped within five years. Smart dust will maintain a two way connection relaying data to a central hub with audio and video access to every inhabitable square foot of land.
Our wages are taxed beyond the realm of feudal lords from centuries past who only demanded 33% of a farmers crop for the King. Slavery is a cancer upon the essence of every man, freedom will remain an illusion until we unite in discord against the machine.

Namaste, my brother Rob, freedom from enslavement.

Thanks for the response GodIAm, I guess the question I was raising here is what happens when we actually stop spending money on all this extra shit the economy is producing? Since we can't possibly pay all the debt back, and the economy is not growing, the system collapses. It's analogous to what happens when we actually pay all the debt off.... the money supply disappears. So that's the incentive for the individual to be indoctrinated into consumerism... so the pyramid scheme of enslavement can perpetuate itself.

I'm working 50 or sixty hours a week right now, and believe me, I'm not very happy about a third of my labor being appropriated by Globalist parasites. But even with these shackles we're still overflowing with abundance... so I don't sweat their nickel and diming me. I'm still going to do what I want to do.

Smart faierie dust...err...not so scary. Christmas elves on the other hand...

VERY SCARY.

Make sure you watch that newscast about elves 'mysteriously' appearing on peoples mailboxes and then getting themselves into all sorts of trickery.... putting toilet paper on the christmas tree and writing letters backwards??

Freedom from Enslavement my brother!

Cheers Rob...

Thanks for the links, there never seems to be an end to nonsense. Regarding your query, the debt is not serviceable herein we find the rub. From the back end of national debt we find the corporate banksters pressure state governments to privatize public services. Here in B.C. for example we are losing countless public services to monopolized private operators. Our transit system which was run by the province a few years back was privatized. Now we find sky rocketing fare prices while the services are being cut. As well our province has sold to American corporate ownership the rights to over 30% of our rivers. As it stands we are committed to honor the water needs of our American corporate demands above and beyond the needs of our citizens.
Of course the fall out always has the middle and lower class suffering the brunt of such choices.

Thanks for the input, enjoy the information.

Namaste, my brother Rob, freedom is an illusion we can no longer afford.

Well spoken! I totally

Well spoken! I totally agree. Mass media and entertainment are deluding the minds of our culture. Only by unplugging from the Matrix can people come to any true understanding about their lives. employment law service

WOW, GOOD SHIT!

Once I found out about all this "Cult"ural indoctrination I left school and started to read and meditate almost daily. I came across this book " The Secrets of all age's" by Manly P. Hall ( I will write a blog on it in the future), but he lays the secrets of the high level freemason's and how they actually constructed the english language, Francis Bacon was a 32nd degree and Hall infers that he was actually Shakespeare. The conditioning runs deep, the words I am speaking now, the english language, is the NWO language, the lowest vibrational language.
haha peace and love.
