I Am A Slave, And You Are Too.

Nothing you will read in this article is new; new perspectives are often more valuable than new facts.

Crucial to the perspective I am presenting here is this notion:
The best slave is the one who falsely believes that he or she is free.

Yes, I am saying that you, in all likelihood, falsely believe you are free.

I know you contest this. Is that not implied by the reality of the notion?

Of utmost importance to this consideration is what, exactly, freedom is and means. The common conception of freedom is being able to do whatever you want, whenever you want. Curiously enough, that's also an apt description of narcissists and assholes. This is why there is the "counter-argument" to this "freedom", being "We can't have total freedom; that would be chaos."

Consider the following scenario, wherein you are the only person on Earth. This is a perfect description of "being able to do whatever you want, whenever you want." It's also a very lonely world; there's only You. Additionally, unless you are a geneticist, you will not be able to reproduce: the human species is finished.

This scenario highlights the overarching theme: Isolation.
Isolation is the conceptual framework and premise from which the 'best slave' notion is possible. This premise, of course, is utter bunk. However, there are innumerable offspring of it, from the consideration of whether children can socialize without being herded into a space where they are essentially imprisoned and taught to value obedience over all other things (school), to the idea that without various types of people in certain costumes and designated "official", and given exemption to the rules everyone else follows (such as, "don't steal, don't murder, don't lie") everything that we value and need in life, from shelter (property tax), to transportation (roads), and basically every other sphere of life, would be impossible.

However, the necessary component to ensure perpetual slavery is not yet present here. it's been hinted at, but not stated flat-out. That last component is projection. The solution to the problem is presented as the cause of the problem. Curiously enough, "Century Of Enslavement" presents this idea very well in the first half, falling prey to the very propaganda it exposes in the last section, where it's advocation falls short of the full solution: End the Fed, it says, not End the Gov.

Along similar lines to this is the idea that money is the problem, and that we need to get rid of money. Like with "End the Fed", this too falls short of a full solution. Like the Fed, money is a symptom of the problem; it is not the problem itself.

The problem is the belief in outside authority.

This problem is identical with the notion that the best slave is the one who falsely thinks he or she is free; they are one in the same.

There is also a reason why this belief has occurred. Ultimately, there is only one thing that exists. That thing is energy. The contention that has immediately come to your mind is precisely the dynamic that is vital to understanding what is known as the apparently complex concept of zero-point energy: if everything is energy, then nothing has meaning; WHAT is energy, and WHY is it that, with "I" being an apparently separate being, there is "only" energy?

You are right:
A singular entity (energy) cannot exist. It is identical with what in colloquial is meant by God. A singular entity cannot interact, for without time, and thus space, it has no existence, no manifestation: it does not exist, just like God, as atheists rightly point out.

Clearly, that is not the case: you exist, and you are in a world of people and objects.
What is the solution to this conundrum? Why do you exist? Why does anyone or anything exist? Why isn't there nothing, instead?

Because you have infinite time.

The two basic realities - a singular entity cannot exist, and all that there is... is a singular entity, energy - form what I call The Paradox Of Energy: Because a singular entity cannot exist, and because all there is is a singular entity - energy - the result is the manifestation of what many call "the persistent illusion of space and time," famously stated by Einstein, which forms the basis of DNA, which is why and how the cosmos is, fundamentally, biological.

The reference of DNA, in all likelihood, looks like a complete non-sequitur to you:
What does DNA have to do with anything?
Existence. Who you are. That's what. Why there's something instead of nothing.

You know, of course, that DNA is comprised of 4 nucleotides, and that the 4 of them combine in a specific way - two of them match with the other two, and not the other ones. This correlates with time-space and space-time, which is likewise a singular entity, but one is the flipped version of the other.

Now, I'll grant that these latter conclusions and assertions are highly unrefined and in need of greater attention to verify their cogency. However, it is not up for question that DNA has a great influence over what traits and tendencies you are most likely to express; that is undisputed. It's not for no reason that we speak of "the DNA of an organization." Likewise, when considering how society will exist and function, what is being spoken about is the DNA of society.

It is now an accepted idea that concepts can act in an identical manner to biological viruses. Indeed, that's essentially the core contention relating to the sheer availability of information and the ability to influence opinion, and thus how people act and react. Not long ago in human history, information was highly controlled; the most famous example of this is with Constantine and The Bible, but the known standard for history is, "The victors write the story." This is also the issue with police reports.

How you process information is more important than what the information is.

A basic example of this is the vase/face visual illusion, which is also an excellent way to get a feel for the particle/wave duality, although it's somewhat different in terms of interaction VS equivalence of being (when a particle acts as a wave, you cannot see it as a particle unless you observe it, whereas you can observe the vase, or observe the face, depending on what you want to focus on; yet, as you can sense, it would not be impossible to make an equivalence of this).

Here are some things that this applies to:
-Selfishness
-Laziness
-Greed

All of these have a common source. What is it?

The opposite of selfishness, so it would seem, is altruism; this would likewise apply to laziness (energy to do stuff in relation to other people) and greed.

Here's a way to look at them that makes the seeming dichotomy and eternal struggle collapse:
Selfishness, in the typical colloquial, is the result 0f false assumptions regarding what one must do to enjoy one's life. These false assumptions result in what I call Self-Absorption. It's an important difference that I'll discuss shortly.
Laziness, in typical colloquial, is the result of the feeling of helplessness or pointlessness.
Greed, is essentially the equivalent of selfishness here, seem from a slightly different perspective.

There are two forms of interaction that occur on a repeated basis: voluntary, or involuntary.
Predominantly, globally, our interactions are involuntary in a systematic way, and likewise based entirely in and on fear. Voting is an excellent example of this, with people voting "for" someone, whether it be Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, or Bernie Sanders, for the entire purpose of "voting against" the other candidate. "Just not ___ to be in office!"

I mention these words, as I mentioned money, because they are likewise concepts that have felt the force of projection, where the solution is presented as the cause of the problem.

Altruism and selflessness are seen as good things, for instance, as opposed to selfishness and greed. Like the words Capitalism and God, they are twisted beyond coherent understanding, and it is to make the solutions of peace for the world impossible.

Above, a few paragraphs, is the example of just one person being on the earth, with the concept of isolation. After that, The Paradox Of Energy is introduced. Consider, for a moment, yourself, and how you do not exist in isolation to others. Consider, likewise, the pain your family and friends would feel if you suddenly died. Now, consider how you happiness likewise affects others. It should by this be apparent that what you do for you, you do for others, since you are not an isolated character, but part of a whole, part of a group, part of the dynamic of life.

The essential notion in the concept of altruism is that there is no benefit to you, making the concept fundamentally flawed in terms of actual reality. To benefit others, is to benefit you. To benefit you, is to benefit others. Only by means of disconnection from the reality of how you are connected and related to others is it possible to maintain the delusion that it is possible to benefit only someone else, without it having an impact on you. An iconic and ironic example of this is how you feel when you help someone out: it feels GREAT.

To refer to such things, including sexual intercourse and orgasm, as merely the result of evolution and chance, is to dismiss the beauty of evolution, and how it correlates and dances with creation; more accurately, with manifestation, since "energy cannot be created or destroyed, but merely changes form." David Wilcock, though he has his faults of theory and expression, talks about how we are at an apex of times, and how our DNA is being charged and "awakened," and this correlates with the idea of The Stoned Ape, presented by Terence McKenna, and the essential idea that both of these things relate to is the Quantum Leap, whereby rapid changes occur in a small amount of time, "practically overnight" you could say. When considering such varieties of time scales (quantum mechanics (instant, from our perspective) to social interaction and human history (YEARS, DECADES, ffs), it's easy to lose track of the proper scale. Likewise, in similar fashion, people have not yet in general come to understand how Quantum Mechanics informs Future-Telling via the most basic assertion it makes, "Observation changes everything;" this is why we have had such difficulty with understanding the future.

The term that I use instead of selfishness, that is much more accurate, is self-absorbed. The value of this change is the enabling of seeing how to end the "selfishness", and that is by enlarging the circle of consideration the person is having, and you do that via listening to them. It is the same method for interacting with those who are suicidal. Suicidality and self-absorption occur when a person's space and mind is in a continuous implosionary mode. The implosion is occurring due to either a rejection of one's self, for which they need space whereby to express that and interact with it, or imposition from others close to them, whether family or friends, which has the same requirement.

Freedom is the ability to do as you wish to the extent that you do not restrict by your freedom, others' freedom. If your reaction to the idea that you falsely believe you are free is disregard and disgust, that is evidence that you are falsely free, because you can prove whether you are falsely free.

I am not free. I am a slave among many slaves. I acknowledge this, and I am working toward global freedom, because I am not isolated from others, and the majority of people falsely believe they are free; it is by this majority that I am imprisoned.

I accept the reality that I have slavery in my life, that I am enslaved, and that by being alive, I enslave others. I change this reality by conversation with the global mind, which is you who are reading this, by using words and interacting with many people to enable coherency of thought, unto eventual collective realization of this understanding, such that I am no longer enslaved, and that I do not, by existing, enslave.

By my continued interactions with others on the planet, I bring freedom.
Faster and faster, is freedom realized, and manifested.
