Physical Pain Support (PART 1) Demolishing My Ivory Tower: DAY 15

May 2, 2012 in Anna's Journey to Life

For weeks I have been experiencing pain in my left hip. Immediately when I look at the point I see the hip representing femininity, fertility and since it is the left hip, it has to do with self-expression and the “feminine” side of myself. The hip is also related to movement, the ability to move flexibly. There is furthermore a point of “weakness” in my “base structure” as indicated by the pain in the hip.

I have used a suggestion from Sunette Spies as to how to investigate the pains that come up in the human body and how they relates to points one is walking in one’s process.

1) Allocate the pain and place a gentle pressure. If one cannot reach it oneself, one can get a partner or someone that one trusts to do it.

2) “See” and feel within oneself if an experience or emotion comes up through the solar plexus.

3) Investigate the back chat (as self-talk in the head) that one has been participating within. If the experience/emotion and the backchat refers to the same point, then this is the point one is working with

4) Release the point through self-forgiveness

The main point that comes up is: “conflict”.

The points I have been looking at lately is how my writings have not been effective from the perspective, that I have not effectively lived the corrections I have prescribed for myself. In that, I have created a time-loop for myself within attempting to force myself into an application of “perfection” as an ideal – while actually not being able to “live up” to this ideal and as such have to “fall” to be able to stop – clear myself and go back and get myself again in who and what I really am.

What often happens when I face a point, is that I get angry with myself that it exists and that I have not directed it effectively in the past – and as such, instead of sitting myself down and writing it out, I have used laziness and come up with excuses not to write myself out. So I have rather wanted to remain in my delusional self-definition than actually facing myself. Through the hip I am now “calling myself out”.

There are many factors playing in with the hip – pushing myself too hard in Pilates, going into competition, abusing myself in other points – in a polarity of “too hard” and “too soft”. So these are further indicators of the same point: not effectively nurturing myself. Not being patient with myself.

So why am I not being patient with myself?

I am not being patient with myself because I am not satisfied with my application. I think that I should push harder, push more, do more – be better. I think that I should get more satisfaction out of sex, that I should lose weight from Pilates, that I should be able to do it all in one day. I think that it is too hard and that I am allowed to lax and “let go”.

As I am writing this, I experience a stinging pain in my hip – so that is a cool sign: I am on the spot. The pain activated specifically in relation to the word “should.”

I live the word ‘should’ in a battle with myself – a battle between the lazy side of myself and the pushing, militant side. ‘Should’ is an indication that I am walking for something/someone else – in separation of and from myself. This is thus a polarity relationship in and between which I live and exist, polarized and energized. And the hip is what is taking the toll on this. The physical hip is being harmed through my pulling and pushing between these sides of myself.

So patience is realizing that we are in a time-space reality and that what and who is here as me is what I can direct. I cannot direct myself according to ideals/ideas/sins/desires/fears or “should’s”.

“Patience – Patience is a movement of self, it is standing within the center of self/self’s beingness holding existence within self as the beacon, the pillar of/as self and within that equal and one stand as and with existence self-know: what I speak, how I live and as I lead – the certainty of who I am as existence is here as me, and I walk in every moment with/as breath as this certainty that is trust of me as existence: that I remain, that I stand and whatever shall come to pass – we’ll be here. Patience is thus the certainty of self’s trust in who self is and knowing/living that what we walk for/as existence will stand/remain as self – whatever the outcome may be for all.” – Sunette Destonian Spies

So – the words I am looking at here are: Hip, Laziness, Should and Patience.

The hip is the physical manifestation of this point – where the abuse becomes evident and brought to the forefront. It should not have to be like that, that a pain or a point of abuse has to manifest before we are willing to direct ourselves. In this is both the word “should” again – but also a point of self-correction, to, when it is clear that I am not satisfied, that I am suppressing this and such experiences, that I do not just ignore it or write it off as “training ache” but actually bring myself to a point of direction and realization. It is no different in the big picture of the world-system and the pain and suffering that exists as the manifested consequence of our self-abdication.

So here I can see that it is indeed about a point where I am “out of balance” – but even balance in itself signifies that there is a constant weighing between two points, through which an ‘equilibrium’ must be maintained, which is the motion of swinging from polarities. Then I am lazy and then I push myself too hard. Then I overdo something in ego and competition and then I give up on myself and feel useless. As I saw myself participating in back chat of being judged by someone and at the same time saw how I was projecting my own self-judgment onto them and in turn judged them, I also experienced a sharp pain in my hip. I can see how I judge back chat, thoughts and the mind in general which shows me that I have not gotten it, from the perspective of reconciling myself with the fact that backchat is who and what I have allowed myself to become and thus not something I can claim that I am not. In fact I require embracing myself to forgive myself in self-honesty and take self-responsibility.

The HIP

“The hip joint, scientifically referred to as the acetabulofemoral joint (art. coxae), is the joint between the femur and acetabulum of the pelvis and its primary function is to support the weight of the body in both static (e.g. standing) and dynamic (e.g. walking or running) postures. The hip joints are the most important part in retaining balance. The pelvic inclination angle, which is the single most important element of human body posture, is adjusted at the hips.”[1]

Dictionary definition:

hip1

n noun

1 a projection of the pelvis and upper thigh bone on each side of the body. Ø(hips) the circumference of the body at the buttocks.

2 the edge formed where two sloping sides of a roof meet.

PHRASES

be joined at the hip informal (of two people) be inseparable.

The words that stand out (I wrote: “up”) – lol – the words that stand up, or the words with which I direct myself in, as and through the hip are “projection”, “edge” and “joined” – so “who I am” in what I referred to previously is largely defined through a projection, where I am not moving or acting Here as myself, but always in a relationship in my mind towards something or someone, even myself. The consequence of this, is that I am living “on the edge”, meaning for example living “on the edge” of my physical capacities, always trying to balance out the two parts of me, the “too much” and the “too little” – through which I have formed and created an unnatural “equilibrium” – a balance that at any point can tip and switch from one to another, where no really stability is here, because I am not here directing myself in, into and as stability – but instead being preoccupied with projections. “Joined” at the hip refers to two people that are inseparable which here refers to the two polarity points in the relationship through which I exist. But it is also “joint” as that point which is the joining together of parts – which is obviously indicated in its reverse of being at war with oneself.

Etymology:

hip (n.1)

“part of the body where pelvis and thigh join,” O.E. hype “hip,” from P.Gmc. *hupiz (cf. Du. heup, Ger. Hüfte, Goth. hups “hip”), from PIE *qeub- “to bend.” Hip of a roof is from late 17c.

Through the hip, we can bend the body, turn the body, carry the meat of the body and the skeleton as well as provide stability in the entire physical. The hip is thus an important part of an effective living as a human being. If the hip is out of whack – lol – the rest of the body suffers. The body must also currently carry the mind that as a heavy shadow of memories, energy and information invades the physical that is forced to carry more weight than it is designed to.

So – the hip is responsible for bending. The first point I saw in relation to this was “flexibility”. Another point I saw was the ability to bend down and stand up when needed and this is interesting in relation to the point that has emerged here, because this point exactly shows how I am inflexible in my ability to “relax” and “bend” and to conversely “stand up” when required as something I simply do – as automated as we move the body – as required. I have however created an artificial version of this in separating myself from myself as “stability”, “flexibility” and “balance”. Even in writing this I wanted to simply write “separating myself from stability” – which indicates that I actively don’t accept or recognize myself as stability. So in this artificial “equilibrium” I must spend lots of energy maintaining a “balance” that because it is not real balance, a natural balance, must constantly be adjusted. I lax and then I become angry at myself and force myself to “do what is required to be done” – but in that, in both points, I am not here, I am not considering what is best for all from a starting-point of self – I am instead looking from within a fight with myself where I see, perceive, experience and accept myself as the “lax” “sinner” and try to become and live up to the “saint” as a stipulate that has been created by someone else, outside separate from me. “If you do not become a good girl, you cannot participate.”

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to direct myself according and in relation to the word “should” as a point of direction based in, of and as separation of and from myself

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to separate myself from walking principled within and as what is best for all, through seeing that I “should” do “what is best” – though actually stating and accepting that I am not already that which is best and that I have to force what is best onto myself – while I am in fact suppressing myself and creating an inner war, because I am not being self-honest about who I am, as who I have allowed myself to be and instead have accepted myself as a follower, following a principle that I am in fact not standing by within and as myself

I forgive myself that I have not accepted or allowed myself to realize that there is a “weakness” in my “base structure” as indicated by the pain in the hip showing me that I am out of balance

I forgive myself that I have not accepted or allowed myself to realize that the points I am not walking effectively within and according to what is best for all, indicates that there is a weakness in my foundation – as my base structure and starting-point in who and what I accept myself as and what I accept and allow myself to participate within and as – where I am allowing myself to live self-dishonestly, in self-delusion and deception as self-interest and as such in abuse of myself as life

I forgive myself that I have not accepted or allowed myself to realize that the points that I am not walking effectively within and according to what is best for all, cannot be changed by me attempting to force myself through the word “should” as imposed external morality, in which I separate myself and create a polarity relationship – but only by me facing myself in self-honesty as “who I am” and take self-responsibility for who and what I have accepted and allowed myself to be and become

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to write out specifically the immediate points I am facing and that I instead have attempted to walk points that I had not yet aligned myself to and as such have created a separation in which I have created a time-loop for myself in and as self-denial and self-dishonesty about who and what I am that could only fall, so that I could walk back to where I left myself and thus start over – which had been unnecessary, had I only walked the points at hand instead of attempting to align myself to an ideal in my mind

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to attempt to force myself into an application of perfection as an ideal while actually not being able to “live up” to this ideal and as such have to “fall” to be able to stop – clear myself and go back and get myself again in who and what I really am.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to create, manifest and experience anger, judgment and self-blame when I see who and what I have accepted and allowed myself to be, become and exist as, as self-abuse, abuse, greed and deception and as such, instead of sitting myself down and writing it out, have used laziness as self-suppression and come up with excuses not to write myself out and face myself.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to rather want to remain in my delusional self-definition as an ideal in my mind than actually face myself in self-honesty and as such create a time-loop of self-deception and delusion that I have to walk through and fall within and create manifested consequences for me to face myself through, so that I can get back to the exact point I separated myself from, into and as.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to, through my self-abdication and deliberate self-denial have accepted and allowed myself to make it necessary for myself to manifest pain as consequence in order to “call myself out” thus allowing myself to abuse the body instead of simply having faced myself directly and immediately and as such walked through the point directly

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to create, manifest and participate within and as a polarity relationship and within that a fake equilibrium of pushing myself too hard and too little and as such exist in a constant energetic tension as a war within and between parts of myself

I forgive myself that I have not accepted or allowed myself to nurture myself effectively – in any way what so ever and that I in fact have accepted and allowed myself to neglect and disregard myself in any and all way, only caring about that which took me away from here, through which I could suppress myself and dilute myself into a mental reality in my mind

I forgive myself that I have not accepted or allowed myself to realize that I have accepted and allowed myself to exist in a constant equilibrating polarity relationship between “too hard” and “too soft” wherein and from I have attempted to move myself to only one polarity – as what I perceive and believe I “should” do and be, not realizing or admitting to myself that polarities can only exist in a relationship and that if I am not living something as myself consistently, then the point has to do with my starting-point as who and what I allow myself to be, live and exist as and that until I bring this back to myself in self-honesty, I will continue looping between polarities

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to create, manifest and participate within and as thoughts as self-talk that I should push harder, push more, do more – be better. That I think that I should get more satisfaction out of sex, that I should lose weight from Pilates, that I should be able to do it all in one day. That I think that it is too hard and that I am allowed to lax and “let go”.

I forgive myself that I have not accepted or allowed myself to realize that the only way I can exist within and as a war with myself against “sinning” and “temptations” – is if I am allowing myself to be directed by, with and as the mind – in abdication of myself here as the directive principle as what is best for all

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to think that I should push harder, push more, do more – be better and as such confirm the starting-point that I have accepted for and as myself: that I am flawed, lacking, missing out on and not good enough and compound this self-acceptance by forcing it into actual manifestation through my constant and continuous application according to it – where I have eventually accepted and allowed myself to in fact be and become “lacking” as in not giving myself to myself the self-respect and dignity to stand up for what is best for all as myself

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to think that I should get more satisfaction out of sex, that I should lose weight from Pilates, that I should be able to do it all in one day and as such direct myself according to a condition of “should” as a belief and assumption that I have abdicated myself into and as, as an external point of reference that I have related myself to in and as separation of and from myself – because I don’t stand in self-trust in a clear starting-point and foundation of self-direction of who and what I will accept or allow myself to be

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to think that it is too hard and that I am allowed to lax and “let go” and as such allow myself to manipulate, deceive and lie to myself to not have to face myself and as such change myself and take self-responsibility and give up that which I have defined as valuable and as who I am

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to live the word ‘should’ in and as a battle with myself – a battle between the lazy side of myself and the pushing, militant side – which is actually in insisting on separating myself from myself in not bringing the point of direction back to myself in and as self-responsibility and instead having projected my self-direction onto a point/person/principle outside separate from ,that I, because I see myself separate from it, have allowed myself to justify “not living up to” and as such deceive myself into accepting and allowing myself to abuse myself and everyone else so that I can continue living in self-interest

I forgive myself that I, through attempting to live according to the word “should” as a point of direction outside separate from me, as a moral guideline to what is acceptable and not, have accepted and allowed myself to walk for something/someone else – in separation of and from myself.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed the hip to take the toll on my accepted and allowed self-abdication and as such allow the physical hip to be harmed and abused through my pulling and pushing between these sides of myself and as such having accepted and allowed myself to abuse and harm the hip in my attempt to create an artificial balance as equilibrium – instead of pushing myself to stand here consistently in self-trust directing myself in and as what is best for all as an expression of myself as who and have I accepted and allowed myself to be and live as.

I forgive myself that I have not accepted or allowed myself to realize that I exist in a time-space reality and that what and who is here as me in each moment, is what I can direct and that I cannot direct myself according to ideals/ideas/sins/desires/fears or “should’s” – because that is then not me directing me in fact.

I forgive myself that I have not accepted or allowed myself to patiently develop a principled foundation as the starting-point in and from which I walk and participate in my world and my reality and that I instead have accepted and allowed myself to create an ivory tower in my mind, that was not based on a foundation of all and that therefore had to fall and that I then had to build up again and again every time it fell because I refused to realize the truth of myself – that I had no foundation at all and that I can only create myself as an effective home, by creating a solid foundation which I only can create once I have removed the rubble from all the ivory towers I have attempted to build myself into and as and on top of each other

“Patience – Patience is a movement of self, it is standing within the center of self/self’s beingness holding existence within self as the beacon, the pillar of/as self and within that equal and one stand as and with existence self-know: what I speak, how I live and as I lead – the certainty of who I am as existence is here as me, and I walk in every moment with/as breath as this certainty that is trust of me as existence: that I remain, that I stand and whatever shall come to pass – we’ll be here. Patience is thus the certainty of self’s trust in who self is and knowing/living that what we walk for/as existence will stand/remain as self – whatever the outcome may be for all.” – Sunette Destonian Spies

I forgive myself that I have not accepted or allowed myself to move myself here but always in a relationship in my mind towards something or someone, even myself – thus as parts relating to each other, which essentially is a form of a war, because these parts are me as one and as such there can only be one, one.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to try to balance out the two parts of me, the “too much” and the “too little” – through which I have formed and created an unnatural “equilibrium” – a balance that at any point can tip and switch from one to another, where no really stability is here, because I am not here directing myself in, into and as stability – but instead being preoccupied with projections.

The Phoenix Rising from the Ashes: DAY 6

April 20, 2012 in Anna's Journey to Life

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to rise as a phoenix from the ashes, in allowing myself to let go of the past and start anew burning through and with and in and as self-forgiveness what was before, so as to allow myself to emerge anew

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe and fear that the symbol of the phoenix rising from the ashes is “too big” for me to apply myself within and align myself to, in oneness and equality

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fear that others will see me aligning myself to the phoenix rising from the ashes and judge me for being pretentious in using such a symbol – instead of seeing, realizing and understanding that I have projected my own self-judgment of myself outside myself in separating myself from my own self-judgment and from accepting myself as less than the symbol of the phoenix rising from the ashes

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to define myself within and as a relationship with the symbol of the phoenix rising from the ashes in polarity of seeing and accepting myself as less than the phoenix and the phoenix as more than me and within defining myself as a phoenix rising from the ashes, have defined myself as more than myself – instead of simply accepting and allowing myself to embrace the symbol of the phoenix rising from the ashes – removing all definitions of polarity and positive/negative energetic charges and as such align myself here, one and equal to the symbol of the phoenix rising from the ashes and as such align the symbol of the phoenix rising from the ashes to what is best for all, in and as a living practical application of self-purification and rebirth of self here as life

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to interpret and understand the phoenix rising from the ashes as a noble and romantic symbol of rebirth, instead of embracing the symbol as a practical and living application of renewing myself through letting go of the past, so as to allow myself to emerge as new

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fear walking into the flames and alighting myself in flames, through, as and within self-forgiveness in purifying myself and letting go of the past, so as to allow the new to emerge

I forgive myself, that I, within resisting, refusing, hesitating and fearing to walk myself into and as the flames of burning away the old, have accepted and allowed myself to remain and exist as a shadow and as an echo, because it is not physically possible to live and exist in the past and thereby by insisting to hold on to myself in and as the past, having allowed myself to separate myself from myself here in and as the physical

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to realize, that to let go of the past, requires that I walk into the flames and burn away the old completely and totally so as to allow myself to emerge as new from the ashes

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to resist, refuse and not allow myself to let go of the past, symbolized by and within the phoenix creating its nest from where it lights itself on fire to burn the old and allow the new to emerge from the fire and the ashes

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to refuse to renew myself within and through self-forgiveness and practical application of living change and to within that have accepted and allowed myself to remain existing in and as the old, as a shadow, as a ghost, not actually living or breathing here, because I have remained and held myself preoccupied with and within the past in my mind as thoughts about what could have been, what should have been, what should not have been instead of seeing, realizing and understanding that I can only move myself here, through letting go of the past

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to resist building the nest of my fire of rebirth as writing and bringing here the relevant words for me to face and forgive, within fearing and anticipating pain and suffering in the actual burning of myself as the past through self-forgiveness and thus within that, have accepted and allowed myself to justify not changing myself, not re-birthing myself, not renewing myself

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to justify not changing myself, not embracing the complete and total letting go of the past as what was so as to renew myself, through, by and within fear of getting burned – which is fear of facing myself in self-honesty as who, what and how I have accepted and allowed myself to be and become and fear of the actual change within letting go and not knowing who or what I will become or emerge as

I forgive myself that I have not accepted or allowed myself to see, realize and understand that I cannot avoid or escape the pain and suffering as the manifested consequence that I have accumulated and required for myself to walk through as the flames through which I must purify myself to start anew – and that by holding onto the past and myself within it, I am in fact allowing myself to remain in suffering and pain and abuse, instead of simply once and for all walk through the flames and allow myself to burn myself down to the ground as all and everything I have accepted and allowed myself to exist in and as – so that I can stand myself up anew

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to resist and refuse changing myself by and within holding onto the past, through participating in memories and automated patterns based on memories and past experiences and to within that hold myself enslaved to and within a one-dimensional reality in my mind of and as a delusion about who and what I am

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I can redeem the past by holding onto it, instead of allowing myself to realize and walk through – that what is done, is done and I am here and that I can only walk from here, change myself here, correct myself here

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to realize, that for me to re-birth myself I must light myself on fire as the letting go of the past through burning away what was and that this will and cannot happen by itself, without me in fact directing myself to change

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see, as I walk through the day, when I am allowing and have allowed myself to participate here, within walking in and as the past, through directly accessing memories or through walking based on a self-acceptance, definitions and expectancy to myself and the world based on the past – and to within that moment, direct myself to let go of and release myself from the past

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to push myself in every moment to let go of and release myself from and as the past and to realize that the past will not go away or disappear or be released unless I directly stop participating in and from the past and bring myself here in, into and as the physical and in through self-forgiveness allow myself to face myself in self-honesty, face the manifested consequences of and as myself as the past, through which I must walk to release and let go of myself as the past

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to realize that the very manifestation of fear is to not let go of the past and to believe and accept that without holding onto the past, and myself in and as the past, I cannot exist – instead of seeing, realizing and understand that it is directly the reverse, that within allowing myself to hold onto the past as fear of losing myself, I am in fact missing myself here and now allowing myself to live

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see, realize and understand that for me to let go of the past, I must bring the past here and face myself in and as all points of the past, so that I can directively through self-forgiveness and self-corrective application burn the past to the ground and from there emerge from the ashes anew

“Understand that the mind is used to program responses into the physical that then is accepted as the personality called self. First one removes these programs to get to the point where you were born originally and then only allow that which is best to become integrated in the body.” – Bernard Poolman

I forgive myself that I have not accepted or allowed myself to realize that I cannot renew myself, without facing and releasing myself from the old, as a purifying fire set alight by my very being as I move through the layers and patterns formed in and by the past to release myself from the past

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe and accept that if I do not hold onto the past, as my memories about myself and the definitions I have made of myself because of it and the memories of past hurts through which I specifically have designed patterns to avoid experiencing by suppressing myself, and through emotional and energetic relationships with words, people, sounds, smells, forms, tastes – I will lose myself, I will not exist – instead of seeing, realizing and understanding that what I am existing as in this here moment, because I have conditioned myself to and as the past only, is the past – not living here, not existing in any way whatsoever than in and through the past, as a shadow, an echo

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to refuse and resist to let go of the past as all that I have accumulated myself into and as, as experiences, memories, personalities, relationships, patterns and stories – within fearing that if I allow myself to let go of the past, I will not know who to be, how to live in such a way that I can avoid danger as I perceive it as and within fear of not surviving in believing , accepting and experiencing that who and what I have become, is effective surviving – instead of seeing, realizing and understanding that I have created, formed and designed my entire existence upon the fear of losing myself, not ever stopping up and seeing that I am here, that I was never separate and that I created a separation of myself and from myself through the abdication of myself here

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe and accept that the only way I can effectively direct myself in the future to gain life and avoid death, is by calculating myself, my relationships, my world, what I see according to memories and past experiences instead of seeing, realizing and understanding that I within living through the past, am re-creating the past over and over and never actually living or participating here and as such existing as death from the moment I was born, in the certainty that I will die, yet in the refusal to accept death and to take responsibility for how I have created and manifested myself into and as death only, never actually living here

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe, accept, define and experience myself only as an accumulation of memories, of knowledge, of sensory experiences that I have logged within my mind as a map that I guide myself through – but never to live, always and only to ensure that I survive, that I avoid that which I have perceived as dangers to my life – to ensure that I do not lose myself – instead of seeing, realizing and understanding that I have lived my entire existence within the acceptance of myself as lost through separating myself from myself here, into and as a mental delusion from which I have believed that I could regain myself, if I held onto myself, and never allowed myself to realize that it was within letting go of myself as fear, in letting go of myself as the past that I have held onto – that I could bring myself back here and realize that I am here.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to rely on memories of past experiences, thoughts, emotions and feelings to guide myself through my participation in the world and never have allowed myself to stop up and ask myself what I am doing and if what I am doing is an effective way of living that is in fact best for all

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to give myself the opportunity to rise from the ashes of the delusions that have been burned through self-honesty and self-realization and specifically through the support of others in assisting me to walk through the point of the manifested consequence that I had created for myself in not facing myself in self-honesty, so that I could face myself as the delusion that I had accepted and allowed myself to be and become

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to take the fire of burning the delusion of and as myself, personally and fearing it, as the ego fears the confrontation with the brutal truth of self as what self has accepted and allowed self to be and become – and such not allowed myself to embrace the point of fire or falling – as an opportunity to rebirth myself through the purification of the fire as myself in walking through the manifested consequence of my acceptances and allowances in self-honesty – and to take responsibility for who and what I have accepted and allowed myself to be and become and as such walk myself into the fire of purification so that I may rebirth myself here as life

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to refuse to walk through the fire of purification as the self-realization, self-honesty and self-forgiveness in letting go and releasing the past and through self-responsibility stand up anew, in giving myself the gift of rebirthing myself here

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to directly and indirectly participate in, create and accept hell on earth, through my refusal to walk into the fire of self-purification and the death of myself as ego, as the relationships I have created to, with and towards the past

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to validate and confirm for myself that all I am is ego as the accumulation of all past fears into and as a single point as a personality through which I have found an “effective” way of surviving that I now believe to be life – through refusing to create the fire, through writing and absolute self-purification in every moment – that I can burn myself in the flames of self-forgiveness and self-honesty to stand up anew and rebirth myself in every moment

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to experience, believe and accept myself to be incapable of releasing myself from the past and renewing myself, instead of seeing ,realizing and understanding that releasing the past and renewing myself is a self-honest, self-directed, common sense practical application in every moment, that I through consistency slowly but surely place myself into and as and as such change myself moment by moment

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to hold onto and for having automated this holding-on-to an image/definition/experience/memory and acceptance of myself as “bad” and “evil” and “not good enough” contrasted in polarity to an equal image/definition/experience/memory and acceptance of myself as “superior”, “good” and “benevolent” and as such define myself and condition myself to only accept myself as one of these polarity definitions, instead of realizing, seeing and understanding that I am all and everything and that who I am, within these polarity definitions is the creation, design and manifestation of polarity in itself – as I have designed to generate energy through friction so as to keep myself locked-into and as the mind – in fear that if I allowed myself to stop and let go of the mind, I would no longer exist

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to use all my resources, focus and energy on holding onto myself as the past in order to “Live”, instead of seeing, realizing and understanding that only by letting go of myself as the past, as manifested into and as ego as a single personality-entity that I have defined myself according to and as, can actually begin Living here – because I am simply here, not existing dependent upon or defined through relationships with and in the past

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to experience and participate within and as an experience of frustration in experiencing that I am not effectively letting go of the past, that there is something I am missing in my self-realizations as I write out this point, instead of seeing, realizing and understanding that frustration can only exist in and of the past – as all that is not in the past, is Here, as a living, physical direct manifestation with no residue of definitions according to relationships of the past

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to deliberately hold onto myself in and as the past – in a belief and an acceptance that if I don’t, I will not be able to calculate and calibrate my actions according to my desired and feared outcome effectively – instead of seeing, realizing and understanding that I have not in any way directed myself effectively within and as living in and as the past – as all I have existed as was memories and reactions upon and towards the past

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see, realize and understand that only I can let go of the past as myself – and that when I don’t, I accept and allow myself to accept the unacceptable as the system of abuse and separation that I have accepted and allowed myself to be and become – in and as greed as fear of losing myself as manifested into and as the money-system as it currently exist based on debt

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see, realize and understand that I have accepted and allowed myself to exist in debt as guilt and revenge towards the past, in and as a relationship with my memories that I have held onto deliberately to keep me reminded of the fears of the past that I have accepted and allowed myself to in every moment, define and control me – believing that I cannot survive without this

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to resist, fear and believe that I will be burned and in pain if or when I walk into the fire of self-purification through self-forgiveness and brutal self-honest self-realization and as such justify why I have not accepted or allowed myself to direct myself to walk into the fire

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to resist, fear and believe the burning of myself as self-purification and within that allowing myself to let go of the past and allow the past to return as ashes to the earth – within fearing that I will then have lost myself, instead of seeing, realizing and understand that all I have let go of, is the delusion of myself in and as the past, the conditioning and constraint and enslavement of and as myself into and as the past and such understand and realize that I can in fact only give life to myself and myself as life, by allowing myself to burn the past in a process of self-purification, wherein and through I, as the ashes, return to the earth to rebirth myself as life anew

The question I am asking myself is: how do I renew myself? How do I walk into the fire as the manifested consequences of my total accumulation of the past, of what I have accepted and allowed – so as to burn the past and purify myself through the flames of self-honesty and self-forgiveness into and as the self-corrective application of living change through standing up from the ashes?

I commit myself, to as I live and breathe here, to identify and investigate all parts and points from and in which I am allowing myself to live, see, breathe through and as the past only and to as such stop – forgive and release myself from the past, and in that walking directly to the self-corrective application of living the change of stopping myself as living in, by and through the past

I commit myself to create for myself the fire upon which I will burn myself as the past as ego, as memories through a process of purification in writing, where every writing I place and direct and every word I write to purify myself as the past, is the practical formation of the fire that I will burn myself through – without fear – walking straight into the fire of purification as self-forgiveness and brutal self-honesty

I commit myself to walk the living change and application of the realization that all that is not simply me here participating directly in and as the physical reality here, then I am participating in, as and from my mind – and as such from a starting-point of self-delusion and enslavement – and as such when and as I see and realize that I am participating in a point/experience that is not physical – I stop. I breathe and I bring myself back here.

I commit myself to walk into and through the fire of self-purification in and as self-forgiveness and brutal self-honesty and to allow myself to let go of the past as myself, as ego, as memories in allowing myself as the past to burn and once again return to the ashes of the earth that I am one and equal with here

I commit myself to rise from the ashes of my fire of self-purification and to stand up anew and to apply for, as and within myself this process of self-purification as self-rebirth until I have purified all memories, the past in and as its totality and I stand here as a completely new being birthed from the fire of my self-purification

I commit myself to let go of the past – to let go of all definitions, images, ideals, beliefs, ideas, feelings, emotions, reactions, memories, knowledge, experiences that I have defined and confined myself within and through – one by one practically here in my daily participation as I see and realize each pattern and each layer of myself as the past as who and how I have accepted and allowed myself to be and become and such release myself from the past as myself – in facing myself and in taking self-responsibility for who and what and how I have accepted and allowed myself to be and become

I commit myself to dare myself to walk into the fire of self-purification and to support myself in doing so, by building the fire for myself through writing and seeing myself here in self-honesty

I commit myself to live as a phoenix through and within which I specifically and directively rebirth myself through the fire of purification that is self-forgiveness and self-honesty and to through from the ashes, walk myself into and as self-correction as the living change

2012 – The Dark Side of being a Modern Woman

February 25, 2012 in World Exposed Blog

In this article we are going to once again reveal a Dark Side of 2012, an emerging trend that at first glance appears to be positive, yet which in-fact exposes humanity’s true nature. We are here looking at what it means to be a modern woman.

“Class, race, sexuality, gender and all other categories by which we categorize and dismiss each other need to be excavated from the inside.” - Dorothy Allison

Countries like Sweden and Denmark are famous for being some of the most gender equal countries in the world, where the wage gap between men and women is the smallest and where women were the first to be sexually liberated and men take paternity leave. Lets have a look at a practical example of what the Scandinavian women have achieved in terms of gender equality:

A recent newspaper article[1] in a Danish paper exposed how female drivers are becoming more like men. Normally it is men that primarily get into traffic accidents and who drive while under the influence, but cases were more females drive hazardous is increasing.

While female drivers are often ridiculed as being bad drivers, what is in fact happening is that women have started to drive more like men, at least when it comes to speed.

John Schalets and Jesper Sølund from the traffic safety council in Denmark explains that “It gets more and more common to see female drunk drivers as the gender equality develops.” They furthermore expand that and say that:

“We have to act faster and more efficient in today’s society and as women get a stronger placement in the business community, it is not so odd that they get a traffic behavior that resembles the males. We will probably start seeing women driving in bigger cars that are stronger and more powerful.”

The gender ‘equality’ is here defined as women being able to do and act as men does and in this case it is the male way of driving hazardously that is considered a sign of liberation of the female.

Now – it is interesting that what is being equated as ‘equality’ is merely ‘being the same as’ while the fact that what is ‘valued’ within this ‘equality’ is completely overlooked.

So that women are becoming more like men is seen as a good thing, a liberating thing, whiles the fact that who they are becoming is irrelevant and ignored. This is however not a debate about who is best, men or women, but it is about the misconception about what equality is. ‘

Equality basically means ‘the same in value’ – but the important emphasis is on the entire paragraph, that the value is the same. In this context above the emphasis is merely placed on being ‘the same’, while the value of the equality women has ‘reached’ is disregarded.

Women drive faster because they need to be more like men, perhaps because they want to be more like men and it is clear that if they want to make it in the business world they have to drive fast to get to where they want to be in the world. They can’t care for such petty points as traffic and consideration of others in the traffic as that would merely slow them down. They need stronger and bigger cars so that they too can show off their wealth and status, exactly like the men does.

What values are implied here? And even more so, what exactly is it that is equal here? That we are all equal in being assholes? Is that a value in itself? That women are now able to be assholes too?

This is not even about men or women, but about the personality characteristics that have come to shape the definition of an effective and successful human being. This means that men are equally striving to become ‘a man’, a man that does whatever it takes to get the job done, a man that is willing to risk life and limbs for that career and this is how we measure the pinnacle of a successful life.

Why is it a good thing that women are driving more like men and consequently killing more people in traffic accidents? Is that the kind of ‘equality’ we want? Is that the equality women have been striving for? It appears so.

It seems like the classic bully in the school yard or the psychopath in the corner office have become the standard ideal for everyone to achieve, women and men alike.

Everyone wants to be the winner of the world, but those very few who actually stand in such positions of power, money and influence are doing so by standing on the backs of everyone else.

The capitalistic system in which we live is patriarchal from the perspective of it being values associated with being a male that is predominant. Males have learned generation after generation to march in tact as they walk firmly with a tunnel vision towards the ultimate goal of success, power and money. It is not who they really are and it is not who women really are either, but this ideal stereo type is what is dominating our societies. So as women become “liberated”, all they are liberated to is to be and act like men and first and foremost: make money.

In the course of what has been called the “liberation of women”, women were told that they in their newfound freedom would be able to live independently and live the live they choose. They can get abortions, be CEO’s or whatever they want to, as long as they remain within the ideal of what a real man either wants or is.

Traditional female features such as ‘empathy’ and ‘care’ are in equivalent of positions in the job market, still the lowest paying jobs. Mothers that work at home in making food and cleaning AFTER coming home from their job as CEO’s or lawyers or politicians, are still not getting paid or even credited for their double labor. Instead one is expected and is expecting of oneself, to be able to do it all, all at once.

It is a race to the finish line of a perfect career, body, house, kids and husband and the real truth is that that life doesn’t exist, for anyone. It simply doesn’t exist. A modern woman is thus a man – and not even that, is the projection of the characteristics of what a man supposedly is.

If equality means “the same in value” it is the value that determines what that equality is. What this means is that we require reconsidering what it is we have given value as being that all should be the same as.

The ‘equality’ as same-in-valueness that is presented in the patriarchal system in is predomination of the world is what creates wars, hunger, rape, porn and deceptive politics. It is through this that we as humans allow ourselves to justify why we are depleting the world of its resources and nurture and why we are forcing extinction on the animals.

It is not an equality that is best for all life. What is best for all life has nothing to do with gender. And if we as women (and men) SEE that a change is required in humanity and as such in ourselves to what is best for all, we got to stop trying to become like men, as they are presented in the world and start trusting ourselves to actually live in a way that is best for all.

In this text by Jack an extended perspective is given as support for why women have tried to become like men, showing the redundancy of that and that this is definitely not what equality is about.

“Soon after the creation of man, women were told that men were the ‘stronger sex’. They appeared more muscular, athletic and well put together, able to do physical task with ease. Now millions of years later we have the most fascinating manifestations within the role of the woman coming forward. Firstly I would like to congratulate woman on behaving as if men have power over them, when in actuality nobody does.

I realize that you have been taught from a young age to bow down to men, but is it really who you are? Are you equality or are you slaves? So what I see when I look at woman has been my endless point of amusement for the last couple of weeks as I seek to understand what it is you’re doing.

Many women are currently busy with the application and manifestation of greed. Once men are out of the way a woman will steamroll others in her path to ‘get to the top’. This of course is my reference to the working class lady who has taken the micky out of dominating the work force, done by steam rolling everybody that dares put a foot in their direction.

Men understand that woman rule all over the capitalist work place and are dearly missing the days when their rule was final. Women are currently seizing everything from the ego that they perceive was taken from them when woman were enslaved to their rightful place at the top of every large industry. However, I laugh only due to how ridiculous it still makes you all feel. I look inside any power hungry woman and all I see is actual embarrassment. Some might even say that woman was never driven to become this, yet hundreds of years later woman are standing up to their enslavement yet it is not able to be further from who you are.

I understand that women are directing themselves, yet what is currently playing out is the overcompensation because no middle ground is seen, creating suppression of self. I will not tell you what your middle ground is, rather how you are able to direct yourself. Are you at least aware in your actions that you’re overcompensating from being submissive to over assertive? Nothing wrong with standing up as who you are and directing yourself, what I am talking about is when you realise that the only way to get some ‘respect’ is to force it down people’s throats.

Manifested behaviours exist within these women such as dominance and career driven obsessions. Manifestations of physicality’s such as enlarged muscles depicting strength, larger body shapes to ‘match’ that of the male build, more upright body posture to ensure the image of worth, and the list goes on. However tough this world may appear there does remain one basic understanding for us all.

Who you are, is direction, flow, participation, creation in every moment not because you’re molding yourself to the corporate image but rather because in essence you remain, therefore your likeness is not determined by male dominance or how you respond. Forgiveness here would give you the opportunity to realise who you are and assist you to ‘re-connect’ with yourself and understanding where you have compromised yourself. Realise you are feminine , as much as you are strength.”

Further perspectives are giving here on the male ego, the female ego and how “women’s liberation” is impulsed into our lives as a form of self-deception.

I was DECEIVED BY ECKHART TOLLE (True Story)

November 17, 2011 in Anna's Process Blog

A couple of years ago, I had the opportunity to join Eckhart Tolle, as he came to speak in Denmark. My friend and I saw that he was coming several months prior to that and decided to go and see him and hopefully talk to him. In spite of both of us being quite poor, my friend was a single mother with a small child and I was a student, we saved up the equivalent of 250 Euro or 370 US $ that the ticket to see Tolle costed. Both of us had prior to this read “The Power of Now” and at that stage I had started reading “A New Earth” as well. So you can say that we were hardcore Tolle fans, although my friend was (and as far as I know still is) a bigger fan than me. I was fascinated by the story of how Eckhart Tolle became Eckhart Tolle, meaning how he got from being a German College nobody to being a spiritual guide for millions of people (not to mention a very rich man). At the time I was very interested in disengaging the personality as I perceived to be in the way of “the real me”. Tolle both supported that view, but also nuanced it by saying that we should accept ourselves unconditionally. That sounded good to me. However what I have only realized recently, was that I was even more fascinated by how Tolle had achieved the status he had. I secretly desired becoming a guru, a superhero, a star and of course having a lot of money, in such a way where no one would blame me for it and where I would go to sleep with a good conscience. If there are any readers out there who are familiar with Tolle’s work and life (perhaps more than me), you will know that he was a university professor teaching in Germany at the time where he had his “enlightening” break-through. He was miserable with his life, at the brink of suicide and suddenly he experienced himself breaking into two parts. After that he was more or less enlightened and the story goes that he spent the next two years or so in a state of permanent bliss, sitting on a park bench. He sat there until a publisher, who had felt drawn to him, came and gave him a lot of money and an opportunity to write a book. (At least that is how I remember reading the story) I went to Tolle’s website to double check this story and here the description is even more vauge:

“At the age of 29, a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of his life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating and deepening that transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey.”

So he had this amazing experience, which I was extremely fascinated of. In my eyes he had so easily broken free of the chains of personality, experience and even the runt of an everyday life. So he became my roll model in that sense, rather than his teachings actually “speaking” to me. Believe me, I tried. I tried feeling it, being it and I did practice the exercises that Tolle suggested. But looking back at my experiences with Tolle, it was as much an inner as an outer scam. Back to the day where I ‘met’ Eckhart Tolle. My friend and I arrived at the place where Tolle would speak, which was a huge concert hall in the center of Copenhagen. Thousands of people were there, mostly women, and some men and slowly the room filled up. I applied within myself a reverent expression, and I saw others doing the same. At the same time I was struggling inside myself with “feeling it”. I had previously gone to spiritual conventions and often felt cheated in that most of it were clearly created for profit, yet pretending to be “enlightened” and benevolent. It made me sick, but I kept going. I had a similar experiences with the Tolle event, especially cause I had spent so much money on seeing him. So I mustered a serene an calm feeling and sat down waiting for “the man himself to arrive”. I could see below me further down on the front seats a row of celebrities that I knew from TV and the tabloids. They also looked very serene, yet in an elitist “front-row” kind of way. If I recall correctly, one of them was wearing sunglasses. Then he came out, Tolle and he talked and it was difficult to hear what he was saying. I tried getting some of his energy, by sort of awkwardly ”opening myself up” to him, but it did not really work. I could not feel it and afterwards I blamed myself and believed that there was something wrong with me because I was not able to “feel it” and get a profound spiritual experience from listening to Tolle (and after having paid that much money). Soon after that, I stopped reading Tolle’s books and I slowly but surely started realizing how I had in fact deceived myself into a major self-delusion through the “support” of Eckhart Tolle’s books and the entire movement that he represented. I realized that what I required was to be self-honest with and as myself. That is another story. Now – if one goes to Tolle’s website, the very first point that springs in ones eyes, is the sentence “Creating a new world together”. When I was a Tolle-Follower, I believed that we were in fact changing the world, through following Tolle, through meditating and “accepting myself unconditionally” and essentially applying the Buddhist principle of avoiding desires and separating oneself from the mental experience of self. However, if we have a self-honest look at the world – which is simply to look at what is here, physically and in fact – it is clear that the world is not going to change from us drawing ourselves back into ourselves and refrain from standing self-responsible for this world through separating ourselves from what is Here. I realized this within and as myself, when I started simply applying self-honesty and for the first time in years were able to move myself and accelerate my process. Until then I had followed teachings such as Tolle’s that actually supports people to separating themselves from who and as how they’ve allowed themselves to exist and within that supporting them to abdicate self-responsibility. At the same time there is an entire hype that “we ARE changing the world” and “we ARE raising consciousness” – and it was within that I started blaming myself because I was not “feeling it”. No wonder I was not feeling it – it is not real. Changing reality starts with actually changing the reality of and as ourselves within standing self-responsible for all and everything we exist within and as – to do this we require to bring all of ourselves together, not to separate ourselves into parts – which is ironic as Tolle and the entire movement promotes ‘oneness’ – but the problem is that this oneness is disregarding equality and thereby ends up being oneness of and as deception – a coming together in a mutal deceptive oneness. This can clearly be seen within my ‘encounter’ with Eckhart Tolle – how more than 2000 people were gathered, all paying a large sum of money simply to hear Tolle speak. It can also be seen within how it was pop culture celebrities for whom the front rows were reserved for. It can also be seen within my experience of pretentious serenity and reverence that I most likely shared with every other person in that room. Where is “the world” that we are apparently changing in any of this? Where is it really in Tolle’s words? When do any of the Tolle followers actually stand up for Life in self-honesty? Several videos on Youtube from different (Destonian) users criticizing Tolle has been removed from Youtube on a claim of Copyright infringement from the “Tolle Movement” – since Youtube complied and since there is an industry of spirituality behind Tolle, we can (at least polemically) conclude that this means that one is not allowed to question ’the establishment’ of capitalist-lightworkers because within doing so, one might risk to expose the scam that spirituality is and has become. I was deceived by Eckhart Tolle – but I was really deceived by myself. I allowed myself to deceive myself because I preferred having closed eyes. I preferred a program where I could conveniently within a belief that I was changing the world, sustained by an millions of people around the world doing the same (albeit only the middleclass Elite) yet continue to exist in and as abdication of self-responsibility. Eckhart Tolle as such ironically represents the system of inequality, deception and separation. Therefore, when you got a capitalist-lightworker like Echart Tolle against you, you know you’re in the ‘right spot’ and should simply keep on doing what you are doing. I AM ONE VOTE FOR A DIRECT WORLD – WITH NO SPIRITUAL MIDDLE-MEN I AM ONE VOTE FOR AN EQUAL MONEY SYSTEM – TO ENSURE THAT THE ONENESS WE LIVE, IS EQUAL AND DIGNIFIED FOR ALL LIFE. I AM ONE VOTE FOR A HUMAN BEING THAT VALUES LIFE AS LIFE

Born for Porn? (By: Earth Global Review)

June 19, 2011 in Anna's Process Blog

Looking at the children and youth of this world, we see our own creation. We see the custody we keep, the legacy we leave behind; we see where 'value' is placed and what is perceived as 'worthwhile' by the modern human being.

Was my Father was killed by the Psychiatric System?

March 24, 2011 in World Exposed Blog

On Mental Illness and Psychiatry – My Father’s Story – What will Change with The Equal Money System?

In October of 1989 my father died at a mental hospital after an untreated influenza and unspecified heart problems. This is his story.

My father was a psychologist and was, before his disease, an esteemed counselor and author with an interest in dream analysis and psycho therapy. My father was diagnosed with Manic Depressive or Bipolar disorder – He got the diagnosis a few years before I was born and no one really knows how or why he became bipolar, except for speculations about it being caused by him having had polio as a child or a traumatic experience when he was two years old. When I was born, he was in a manic period and right after my birth he went into a severe depression. He tried to commit suicide many times, one more extreme than the other.

On one occasion my mother found him on the attic naked in the winter trying to freeze himself to death. In his manic periods where he would feel like the king of the world and do the most crazy and outrageous things, such as setting his apartment on fire so that he would be incarcerated, simply because he wanted to experience what it was like to be in prison. Or he would order a thousand doughnuts and have them flown to a wedding in a helicopter across the country. Obviously for my mother this was not easy, raising a small child, while taking care of a sick husband.

The Psychiatric hospital

When I was four years old, he was admitted to a mental hospital against his will, due to the apartment fire incident where he was considered a danger to himself by the police. After he was admitted to the mental hospital, I saw him only one time before he died. I remember walking down the avenue towards the hospital that was situated on the countryside, with big trees on each side of a long straight road towards the hospital at the end. I remember a woman screaming as we entered the building. I was six years old.

My father was often strapped to his bed or heavily medicated and he would write letters and drawing to me about his experiences, sometimes lucid, sometimes writing in code or with trembling hands that conveyed onto paper as nonsense . While admitted, he started a union between the patients, to speak up for their rights and he would often be the cause of uprisings in the hospital.

Doped and Medicated – Uppers and Downers

He was given lots of medication, but none of it made a difference in his condition, he seemed to be getting worse every day. He was treated with electroshock (this was the early 80´s), where they would specifically target the right side of the brain to inhibit his emotional and creative cognition. My mother have told me how he, after these treatments, had no memory, couldn’t remember his own name or what day it was. Amongst the drugs he was treated with was Seranace, also known as Haloperidol which is known for its severe side effects and especially the damage it can cause on the heart. As a consequence of all the medicine he gained lots of weight and were then given “uppers” when he was depressed and “downers” when he was manic.

Psychiatrists are fumbling in the dark

The doctors basically did not know how to treat him and thus tried every drug possible on him, until he finally died. For my mother this was the most frustrating: that there was a system, that was seemingly taking care of my father, yet they could give her no answers and no support. She experienced it as though they did not want to admit that they did not know what to do. This is only but an example of thousands around the world, where mentally ill are misdiagnosed and mistreated, because of a system that is incapable of treating them.

My father was definitely very ill, his condition quite severe and he would have most likely harmed himself or others, had he not been admitted. But this is also an example of how we place our faith and trust in a system that is supposed to have the answers, to protect us and keep us safe, while the people working in that system as the professionals and experts does not Actually know what they are doing – and unwilling to admit that, because this is all we got.

The Money-System the cause of Mental Illness?

Someone once told me that 95% of all diseases are caused by the way our system works and that only a minute few are actual physical and structurally diseases, like a flaw in the design. If this is so, is the system itself not the disease? And if that is so, then it is no wonder that the psychiatrists are fumbling in the dark, as they themselves are Equally a part of the System that is causing a disease as my fathers. This can be exemplified through the cases of all those people and even children, who’ve sought help and therapy and instead are given medicine because it is cheaper than counseling or other forms of treatment. It has even been said that the amount of ADHD medicine prescribed for children is in perfect alignment with the increase in standardized tests in the U.S.

How will this Change with The Equal Money System?

With The Equal Money System, this will Change – because we Change our Starting-Point from the basic foundation of the Systems we’ve created to manage our Lives. As it is now, we’re fumbling in the dark, simply following the money wherever it moves with fear and desires as our lanterns. There is no Actual Care for Life in these Systems as shown in the case of my Father. One of the Basic Foundations of The Equal Money System IS exactly Care for Life in and as Equality – All Life. Furthermore: If the diseases are in fact Directly caused by the systems we’ve created, we will see how the slowly will disappear as people start Living instead of simply Surviving through Self-Suppression, Self-Medication and Addictions as examples.

Simply by taking Fear out of the Equation – we have Changed the entire foundation of the System. This we can do with The Equal Money System – Because it is based on the Principle of Common Sense: That what is Best for All, at a Physical and Practical level, is Best for the Individual too. So by deciding to Stand together Giving Everyone as Ourselves as each other an Equal Right to a Dignified Life without fearing for our Survival through the basic requirements firstly of shelter, clean water, food and education – We Are in Fact beginning the Process of Healing Ourselves and our societies from the Madness of Man that we’ve Abdicated Ourselves and our Lives.

How does it Feel to Starve and do we even Care to Know?

March 14, 2011 in World Exposed Blog

Investigating Starvation – How does it feel to Starve?

How does it feel to starve? Have anyone of us ever asked ourselves that question and if not: Why? This article investigates these questions. It investigates the silent and secret resistance that most of us experience when it comes to a subject like starvation – a condition that more than 1 billion people are born into without any possible way of ever getting out. It investigates the problem from different angles and offers a Solution that brings the Perspective back to a Common Sense Re-education of all of us to start Caring for Real and Participate in bringing about Changes that is in Fact Best for All.

So how does it feel to Starve?

Alouette Mayer writes: “What does it feel like to be hungry, really hungry, for many days? And many weeks? And longer. It’s easy to imagine the beginning symptoms like weakness, shakiness, irritability, fatigue. But what happens when those aren’t remedied by food? Is it painful when the organs begin shrinking as they do in starvation? It must be. And as the immune system loses force, how does one endure the cramping, combined with the weakness, combined with the lowering body temperature, combined with the overall bloating as the body retains fluid?”

Can you imagine yourself feeling that terrible? Now expand it to your family. Your daughter. Your tiny son whose tummy is distending and who cries with headaches. Your grandmother, coughing and scared and silent. What would it feel like to watch a toddler, your toddler, weaken and beg for what you can’t give? No running water, no toilets, huddled in refugee camps miles and miles long, And its getting cold. It’s going to get really, really cold and wet heavy snows are coming. And you’re so terribly hungry.

Imagine the stench and disgusting danger of raw sewage, of the infectious diarrhea that comes from that. And there are already dead bodies to be dragged away to be buried or burned by weak hungry men. How does a frail starving man dig a grave for his neighbor, his friend, or his tiny son? The nights must be endless, filled with prayers for a warm morning sun.”

All that Matters is food

That is unfathomable – except if you are one of those 1 billion people that actually are literally starving to death or one of the 2 billion living in extreme poverty. What I find when I look at it for myself is the word “desperation” – not even a single thought creeps into my mind because all I can think about is food. Maybe I don’t even know how much food actually exists in this world and believe that everyone lives the way I do, or I have seen food at the market, luxuriously prohibited and out of my reach. Maybe my village had food once, but a drought caused the animals and crops to die, so now we have no food. Or maybe I lost my parents to malaria and now have to live on the street begging for scraps and rotten food. Whatever the case: I am hungry.

All I know is that I am hungry. If I am able to, I drink water to fill the stomach and get some feeling of being full. I feel tired and drained, but I have to keep going and I look desperately everywhere for any sign of food anywhere. I look at the dogs running around and when we had a goat, it was difficult not to kill it, but we needed the milk more than we needed the meat. I keep looking for a way out, but there is no way out, so all I can do is survive.

In a documentary from Nigeria a woman talked about how it would be like to live in a Western country. What she said was: “that would be nice because then I would not want to die”. Another documentary about North Korea, two men in their twenties, who had escaped the regime and was living in Soul, said that even though they had lived there for over two years, still all they thought about was food. For those of us who have been used to plentiful and endless access to food, it is unimaginable to conceive how it must be like to live your entire life, only thinking about food.

The Good Intentions of The West

In our Western and 1.World countries, it has become fashion that young people travel to third world countries and for example work as aid workers for Humanitarian Organizations, maybe out of the goodness of their heart or because it looks well on a resume to show that you are someone that cares. One blogger wrote about people travelling to third world countries: “I saw so many hungry and starving kids. It was unbelievable!” This is a too common occurrence in the experience of people who visit Third World Countries and get shocked and in awe of the witnessing of Starving Children, and provides insight into how lucky the rest of us are to have high standards of living that are actually met.”

A question that brings itself to the forefront is whether we are actually lucky or if that is yet another word we have used to justify the fact that we are Equally Responsible for reproducing and recreating starvation and poverty? We know that people starve. We know the figures and the images of starving children. But do we see them as our neighbors, Equally Living Here on this planet or as spots of guilty conscience on our minds? Do people then go to third world countries, only to return with a feeling of relief that it is not them who are in the shoes of those that suffer?

Google as indicator of Ignorance

If you Google the words: “How does it feel to starve?” you will be surprised to find that the first ten results are questions people have asked in regards to how it feels to starve to death – literally posed and categorized as “trivia questions” – as something people ask for fun or out of curiosity. There are articles about being anorexic or how to starve oneself to get the perfect looks. An example is an article called: “how can you starve yourself without slowing down your metabolism?” If we take Google as a representation of what we as people in the west are willing to consider and investigate in regards to starvation, this is what is revealed about us. We don’t care – even when we say we do, even when we sell and buy products with labels that say we do – we don’t care. Because otherwise we would do something about it. We don’t want to know what it feels like to Starve.

Starves Real Child to Feed Virtual Child

In 2008 there was an article in several newspapers about a Korean couple who starved their child to death, because they were busy raising a virtual child at the local internet café. The virtual child, called Anima in Latin ironically translates to: “A living Being”.

A police man later told the local media that: “The couple seemed to have lost their will to live a normal life because they didn’t have jobs and gave birth to a premature baby,” “They indulged themselves in the online game of raising a virtual character so as to escape from reality, which led to the death of their real baby.”

This situation is indicative for the current situation in this World, where people of the West are living in virtual realities of their Minds, while disregarding and neglecting the Physical entirely. And why? Because Reality is too hard to Face – because there is no hope anyway and so one might as well lose oneself in the endless layers of information and stimulation provided by The Mind as thought and feeling and manifested into Reality through games such as the one described above. Entertainment is nothing but the suppression of the Fear of not Surviving that is already dictating and directing our lives. We might read this story and be appalled, but who of us has not gotten lost within the entertaining of our Minds? What are people actually doing but watching television all night or being busy imagining their future lives? So many people live only for that which is created through and as the Mind, while the Physical is forced to tag along and live out our cravings, desires and nightmares. So this couple depict in brutal clarity the situation of what we have Allowed Ourselves to be and become: Consumed with fear and powerlessness, turning to virtual realities which we try to keep alive, while the Actual Physical Reality, as Who we are – Suffers.

The Hard Facts of Starvation

In spite of the Fact that there is currently more than 1 billion people (every 6. Person on the planet) Starving – the world produces enough food to feed everyone. World agriculture produces 17 percent more calories per person today than it did 30 years ago, despite a 70 percent population increase. This is enough to provide everyone in the world with at least 2,720 kilocalories (kcal) per person per day (FAO 2002, p.9). The principal problem is that many people in the world do not have sufficient land to grow, or income to purchase, enough food. (worldhunger.org)

What is the problem? And is there a Solution?

As stated above, the main cause of hunger is poverty and the main cause of poverty is the lack of money. Poverty is furthermore re-created and reproduced through generations, which means that virtually no one born into a country with extreme poverty has any chance of every getting out of the living hell that they are born into. This is all do to an extreme income inequality, where half the world’s population are literally carrying the other half like dead weight on their shoulders – and I am not talking about the rich carrying the poor, quite the contrary.

Patrick Bond writes: “The question as to who and what is responsible for African underdevelopment can be answered at two levels. Firstly, the answer is that the operation of the imperialist system bears major responsibility for African economic retardation by draining African wealth and by making it impossible to develop more rapidly the resources of the continent.”

What are the consequences? – Inequality Placed into Perspective

Looking at the world as a whole, with a 6. Of the world’s population living in poverty and starvation it is obvious that it is not what is Best for All. But too often do we see the world as separated in smaller units that have no influence on each other. Placed into perspective we can use the following metaphor: Imagine a body. Imagine that as you eat and drink, you pull all nutrition from one limb such as the leg or an arm and instead only disperse nutrition into the rest of the body and primarily the head. Imagine having a leg or an arm, completely starved and sucked dry, the muscle issue deteriorating, the skin becoming thin, sensitive and you cannot stand the feeling of pressure or clothes against it. Imagine you dragging your leg after you because it has lost all its muscle mass and are no longer able to function. Imagine the bones of your arm breaking as easily as glass and while the rest of your body is in better condition, this limb is constantly filled with excruciating pain. This is basically what we are doing at this planet, where a 6. Of us are starving to death having exactly these experiences as described above. Now imagine the body being all warped with a big fat head, legs so skinny that they cannot stand and arms and hands worn from working all day.

If the Earth was a single Human physical body

If Earth was a Human Physical body, this is basically what we would look like. Would we be able to stand, walk or move? Probably not. It is unacceptable that people suffer when there is in fact enough food in the world, it shouldn’t matter that it is someone else and not us and only something we care about when we place ourselves in another’s shoes – because when one suffers, all suffers consequently. It is not someone else, in some other world, separate from us that suffer – what we do and how we live is directly influencing what is happening in other parts of the world.

The people that are starving have no possible way of changing their situation. Their situation is caused by unequal distribution of resources and by our collective Acceptance of a money-system of inequality as the Directive Principle that is managing the world and everyone in it. How are we equally Participating in upholding and accepting these systems? By turning our backs on those Suffering, because we don’t Act. We either blame our governments, each other or ourselves, but that doesn’t in fact Change the situation – it only makes us feel powerless and from there we can again justify that we are not responsible. Imagine standing in front of a mother starving with a dying child. What do you think she will tell you? Do you think she will blame you or ask you to feel bad for her? Is the Solution to finish our meals or send our leftovers to Africa or Indonesia? No – none of this will change the situation, because the root of the problem is the entire world-system as a whole – a system that is based on our Acceptance of and daily participation in an unequal distribution of resources.

How can we Participate in Bringing about Change?

The systems with which we manage our world, determines the lives we live. The money-system does not exist by itself – it is managed and supported by Human Beings. This is why we propose an Equal Money System, because whether we can feel it or not, whether we can imagine ourselves in the shoes of those suffering or not: we are All Equally Here on this Earth and as such have an Equal Right to a Dignified Life.

It is imperative that each of us Face ourselves within Self-Honesty about how we are Participating in Allowing the world to exist the way it does – this is not easy as we have existed within separate mind-bubbles of Separation, Inferiority and Fear and in this not been able to See and Realize that we are Equally Responsible for what is Here.

Through The Desteni I Process we re-educate ourselves to Self-Honesty, Self-Responsibility and Self-Respect. We do this through some very simple tools that each can Apply for themselves, through Applying and Living the Common Sense of What is Best for All, bringing ourselves Back Here to Earth and out of the Separate Mind-Bubbles of Self-Interest, Denial and Fear. We do this through Supporting each other to keep it Real, To Realize Ourselves within and as the Whole – Standing together as All as One as Equals. Join The Process Towards World Equality – Support and Participate in bringing about an Equal Money System For The End of The Human Annihilation of Life – For The End of Suffering and Abuse and for Bringing Forth a Life that Cares for All Life Equally.

Virtual Reality with Xbox Kinect vs. Living Reality – Citizens of Facebook: You Decide!

March 11, 2011 in Equal Money Blog

Recently the new Xbox 360 Kinect Kinectimals was released. The Kinectimals is a version of the new kincetics hype that is based on interaction similar to Wii and the new Playstation games. The product itself costs around 300 Euro or 400 dollars and the basic Principle of the game is that you get a virtual pet. As described by one blogger:

“Xbox 360 Kinect Kinectimals is designed for the entire family as a result kids as well as men and women will delight in building partnerships with exotic pets. If you or your children have always dreamed of having a tiger cub, then this particular game is right up your alley. You could listen to the Kinectimals purr with pleasure as you scratch him behind his ears; not an adventure you can expect to have in real life.”

So basically you get to play with a tiger as if it was real life, right at home in your living room, but without the risk of being killed or bitten by mosquito’s.

The blogger continues to describe how the game works:

“The game starts with the user adopting and then naming one of the different exotic animal friends, such as a tiger, cheetah, or lion. The Kinectimal will learn how to respond to the users tone of voice and commands. Eventually the Kinectimal learns to fetch, and will explore the on-screen island. Then there additional tricks to teach the Kinectimal for instance fetch, as well as other activities to participate in for example jump rope.”

Virtual Reality

What is striking is that these types of games that are becoming increasingly popular, where the plot is based on one not having to leave the comforts of ones living room and at the same time be able to play games that have a sense of connection, intimacy, relationship and “realness” about it. Obviously there are also those targeted for the adult players that will often be exercising games where one can play tennis or golf and become the image of one’s dreams

So basically one has all the pleasures and stimulation of a real life situation, without actually having to be Here. This brings associations to Science Fiction movies and novels such as Wall-E and Surrogates, where the virtual life has virtually taken over Living in the Physical.

So – Imagine for a moment if all the people who had purchased an Xbox and the Xbox Kinetics games would spend their money on for example making sure that the tigers don’t go extinct. Imagine the billions of dollars and resources that have been put into creating these games in the first place – All for What? For some human beings to make a buck and for others to buy a life of leisure in safe distance from everything that is Real. And meanwhile we are happily merchants of extinction of the Animals, the Earth and ourselves – but hey, we will always have Virtual Reality.

What could we do with 25 billion dollars?

In the first 60 days on the market, the Xbox Kincect broke the world record of being the “Fastest selling consumer electronics device” having sold devices for more that 25 billion dollars. The company had spend 500 million dollars on advertising alone – the slogan for the campaign appropriately being: You Are the Controller.

With 25 billion dollars we could change, if not the world, then at least feed the Starving for the next 10 years, while we figure out how to create a sustainable Solution so that no one will have to Starve ever again. Why create a virtual Reality, where there is a Real World Right Here. The sustainable Solutions have been created and invented. The scientists are skilled enough to create cars that can last 100 years. Meanwhile the headfund (pun intended) of Microsoft, the company that produces Xbox, Bill Gates is Promoted as the Angel of Mercy, a Modern day Mother Teresa of the Age of Knowledge, who supports the needy wherever he goes and stands as a beacon of charity and compassion.

WTF?

What does this show about us Humanity? That we have become so warped into our imaginary bubbles of self-interest that we are shaping the world to fit our inner virtual Reality – Mind you that it is only a fraction of the world’s population that can even afford an Xbox. Surely there are also parents working two or three shifts only to be able to provide such a service for their precious young. Seriously humanity: Is this who we want to be?

Why do we rather live in a virtual reality?

People would rather live in a virtual reality, than fixing what is Here. It is tough Facing what is Here as this World with 2 billion people living in grim Poverty and so by living in a virtual Reality, we can push the Real World away and pretend for a moment that it is not as bad as it looks. But it IS as bad as it looks – and starving children are not images in the newspaper – they are Real and their Suffering is Real. We have gotten so used to seeing these images that we do not even consider that they are portraying Reality for millions of people in this World. We even believe that by being appalled, we have done at least something to state that this is unacceptable. But statements of intent are Lies if they are not Applied into Action. Principles only Apply if we Actually Live by them, not some of the time or when we want to, but in every moment of every Breath.

It feels safe and warm and comfy in there in the virtual realities of our minds and living rooms and often we don’t even realize the extend to which we will plan our lives according to fear. The fear of not surviving is not only for those who actually have to fear for their lives, who fear that they will not even be able to feed their child today or that they will be killed by soldiers if they go to the market. The reason behind purchasing and playing a game like Kinetics is also fear and so we can hide in our minds separate realities or even create virtual ones at a physical level. The only problem is that all bubbles burst eventually and so no matter how hard we try, we cannot keep Reality away and it will eventually creep up on us as thief in the night or when our fences are broken down by angry mobs, our houses burned down by forest fires or our water is contaminated to the point of poisoning and genetic mutation.

Citizens of Facebook – Unite

Measured in population, Facebook is currently the world’s largest country in the World. That means that we as citizens of Facebook have a Direct vote in this World, that is currently being wasted on virtual realities where all that matters is the next moments entertainment, and the next… Why not join together and each of us decide for Ourselves that we would rather Live in the Real World and fix it so that we can Actually Enjoying being Here for Real.

Instead of spending 3oo Euro or 400 dollars on a virtual Reality that will only postpone the Moment of Facing what is Here – Join the Equal Money Movement and Start Participating Actively in Bringing about Real Change. Practivism is Activism with Common Sense Consideration of What is Best For All, at a Real, Practical and Physical Level. We have the skills, the resources, the money to Change the World – All we need is each other. That means – all we need is Ourselves. To Decide for Ourselves, each and every One – that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH – TILL HERE NO FURTHER and that we would rather Live in a World where Tigers run Free, than to be looked up in a room petting imaginary friends.

Join the World Equality Process – The Equal Life Foundation where we work towards Creating an Equal Money System that guarantees Everyone an Equal Right to a Dignified Life with Clean Water, Food, Shelter and Education. Where no one has to Fear for their Survival or Live only to Survive.

Join the Re-Education of Ourselves from Organic Robots Living in Virtual Realities as Slaves to Fears and Personal Desires to Beings Standing up for Life, Equal and One, In Self-Honesty and Self-Respect.

Q and A – “Do we need an Academic Elite to Change the World? “

March 9, 2011 in Equal Money Blog

The following Question was asked by Tood as a reply to the article: “Academic Education – A Waste of Space, Mind, Money and Time?”in my column on The Sociology Journal

Q – from Tood:

Do you not think that your call to action in creating an imagined world of equality is also a product of one of these theories of university education which you denigrate in your article? Before action can be taken toward any goal, what is required is a thorough analysis of the situation at hand. This will require thinking, not acting. After this task is complete (and it is not), you must subsequently be able to define the goal toward which you would like to steer society as well as to justify that goal as a proper goal. Given that your goal seems to be equality for all, in all aspects, the next step would be to formulate a process of transition from the current situation to the desired one– a plan of action. This will require an immense amount of interpretation, theory, data-gathering, statistical analysis, historical considerations, etc. (e.g. consider Karl Marx’s more than 3000 page collection of volumes known as Das Kapital). Before beginning work toward global equality, we ought to consider its feasibility, desirability, and complications it may bring– questions which, by the way, are being asked and answered inside the University (consider, for example, the work of analytic marxists such as G.A. Cohen in “Self-ownership, Freedom. and Equality”). I agree with you that the University has a socializing function, and that success in the university is at least contingent upon learning the language-games of academia, however it also functions to open up a space for the dedication of oneself to inquiry– a space which is not generally provided outside of the University. And as a final consideration: when is success outside of the University going to be devoid of the socializing function of the University, or of its criterion of “learning the lingo”, apart from living a hermitic life?

A – My reply:

Hi Tood – When I (and when most people) were a young child, my basic outlook on the world situation was that of: “Why are people starving, when there is enough food?” – “War is stupid, why can’t we simply be friends?”

Thus my perspective was that of Simplicity and Common Sense – without moral judgments towards those creating wars: I saw the World and the people within it, as Equal. Therefore the call to action – based on the basic Principle of Equality is not an ideological conception constructed in the Academic class- room.

Unfortunately we have as adults, covered and sugar-coated ourselves in fancy words and knowledge to hide from ourselves within ignorance and abdication of Self-Responsibility – which Actually for any Child, is Common Sense. Thus – we will back up Self-Deception with Self-Righteous regurgitation of useless knowledge simply to postpone the Moment, where we literally have to ACT – where we Actually have to Give up this armor of theories upon theories and see the World and Ourselves for what it is.

It is plain to see, even within the theories of Social Life: Common Sense Perspectives that All can agree on is being reproduced, mutated an twisted into oblivion, even though they always say the same: That to Change the World, we require to Change Ourselves first – because whatever We are, is what the World is too. I have heard professors regurgitating the glory of knowledge and thinking as enlightenment and cure to the disease of ignorance and inequality. Yet – we see none of those professors or students Changing anything in their own Participation. Instead the regurgitation of knowledge is used as the justification for NOT ACTING and thus being reproduced and recycled with every new batch of students in hope of Changing the World.

We do not require anymore “thorough analysis as thinking” of the issues at hand – The sustainable solutions to the World’s problems ARE invented – we are simply not Applying them. If every Child can see the Common Sense of war being stupid and not even blaming those that create war, but simply suggests for us to stop it – it is clearly not assisting to create long theories upon the impracticality of War. It is basic Common Sense: 1 + 1 = 2.

If the 1 eats all the food, the other 1 will starve and the 2 will exist in inequality – which is Clearly not what is Best for All. This requires not Socratic or dogmatic systems of approach – It does however require Self-Honesty of each of us as re-educating ourselves to take Self-Responsibility for what is Here.

The plan of action towards Global Equality is to create a Global Political Party based upon the Principle of Equality, where each commits themselves to Stand Self-Responsible in Common Sense Equality and do what is Best for All – at a Practical, Physical level – in All ways.

This we are doing with the proposal of the Equal Money System, which of course requires thorough planning – but within the Principle of Equality as what is Best for All, no ideological discussions are necessary, which will give us room to investigate and research Practical, Real Life Solutions.

Even though the tradition of the universities place themselves within the “honor” of the objective inquiry (aka truth producing business) – this is in Fact not so and the Space of universities as learning facilities could be utilized for so much more fruitful and practical purposes – not simply to reproduce knowledge for it to be reproduced. Activism without Practicality as well as knowledge without Application, is useless…

Q and A – Discussion: “How do We Fight the Big Corporations?”

March 9, 2011 in Equal Money Blog

From the article “Corporations, Governments and Consumers – The Unholy Trinity of Inequality” in my column on The Sociology Journal on Sociology.com

Q – from Derrick:

What is the obligation of a corporation to the people of the world? I believe it to be a bit more than making a cheeseburger that half of the world can’t afford and that kills the half that can – – – at the expense of the most bio-diverse eco-system on the planet, the rainforest.

I would like to see a buyer caveat on products and services. If there is no legal way to nudge corporations towards philanthropy, then I want to at least see a sign in front of the mega-department-store pointing to the millions they gave in the recent election to anti-gay candidates. How can such massive entities move without a sound?

A – My Reply:

The corporations can move without a sound, because of a system of governance and consumption that we have all accepted as legit – It moves without sound, because We move without sound. Because the sounds we do make, are accusations, blame and acceptance of ourselves as powerless.

I have fought many battles in my life trying to beat the System, trying to get off the grid, to live sustainably – until I realized that the System is within me, that I am the System – That a poor man given the chance would do exactly the same as the rick guy, once getting his fingers into the cookie jar. That the System in which we have Accepted ourselves, is build on fear, competition and greed and that actually Living by Principles that Stands for What is Best for All Life requires a score to be settled with all and everything that we have ever done and been – that words are easy, but action not.

As shown by Raj Patal and others, the only political power the modern consumer-citizen has, is to chose between organic and regular products – And for many that is seemingly enough to make us sleep through the night. The problem is that responsibility is shifted between corporations, governments and consumers in a way where no one is held accountable, let alone holding themselves accountable and where half the world literally is left with the consequences of what we are collectively accepting and allowing in this world.

The solution is therefore not to simply stop buying certain products, and anyway that is most often done to keep one’s own hands clean, while not considering that choice comes with money and that money is what motivates all of us, because it has become synonym for survival, comfort, safety and happiness. When you are poor you do not have the luxury to go organic or vegetarian and thereby this choice is an elitist choice, that does not have an actual impact on the world as a whole.

A collective Stand is required, where each takes it upon themselves to be accountable for what we are participating within and as, as a collective – That is firstly done by researching what it actually is we are allowing, by removing the veil that lets us sleep through the night, by recognizing that we not only have the power, but that we are also using it, knowingly or unknowingly every time we shop, think, eat and breathe.

Next it is required that we Stand together to actually create the necessary changes – to realize that behind corporations and governments and money, are people just like ourselves, living for their own survival only, just like ourselves.

We’ve gotta move the System as the System, from within the System – We’ve gotta Stand by what we have created and Change it in fact, in practical, actual reality – into a world that we would want our children to be born into. Dreaming up some Utopian society, bashing the powers that be – that is easy. What is not easy, but what is also required is for us, each of us, one by one, to be the Change.

If your life, your thoughts, your actions represented One Vote, what is yours? Are we even able to answer that honestly? Or is the brutal facts of what we are Accepting in this World too hard to Face? Is there even a choice?

I am One Vote for World Equality and an Equal Money System – Where governance is about making the choices Always that considers what is Best for All, not as an idea or a philosophy but as a Common Sense, Physical Fact – Once we get there, it will be easy to see and do what is required to be done.
