Solution to what's wrong with this world? Ecoknowme challenge
When treating a disease, one can either take the allopathic approach and attack symptom after cascading symptom with singular compounds scientifically shown to alleviate said symptom whilst causing the onset of the next. Alternatively one could diagnose and address the root cause of the symptoms using a holistic approach which recognises the physical body as the tangible aspect of something much larger which extends to those ends of the spectrum of existence that can not be perceived by our 3d senses. The former is good for return business if you are a medical professional. The latter sets you off on a journey down a rabbit hole which culminates in the kind of thinking which I am bout to express.....
Ask 1000 people what is wrong with the world and chances are you will get 1000 different answers. It is certainly not hard to find examples. Just look around you. Rampant pollution, resource depletion, corrupt politicians, unscrupulous corporations chasing profit at all and any costs, child slavery, adult debt slavery, pedophile rings among our leaders, the fact that we even HAVE leaders and meekly submit to their 'authority'. One can fill pages with examples of symptoms and, ironically, list a solution already in existence for every one of those symptoms. We have the technology and methodologies documented to solve all of our problems so why are they not being implemented on a large enough scale to have any kind of significant impact?
A good answer to the question posed above would be that only solutions deemed to be financially viable are implemented on any kind of scale as the resources required to implement such solutions invariably come at a cost and we live in a world where the dreamers seldom are left in charge of the purse strings. Yes that would be a good answer if we choose to limit ourselves to operating only in the 3d aspects of existence but being free thinking sovereign individuals, we choose to delve a bit deeper, don't we now?
Next stop down the rabbit hole. Station consciousness. We have now departed from the 3D spectrum and arrived in the ethereal realms. I realise many are not comfortable exploring here and I suggest those passengers hop off at this station from whence one could still walk back to 3D land with ease and go build an earthship. Goodness knows you will need one if we don't turn this boat in time. For those still aboard, let us then examine the problem from a consciousness perspective.
I have heard it said numerous times that all of our troubles are a result of consciousness, or rather unconsciousness to be precise. Fix the consciousness and the world will be fixed. I agree with this statement. If we accept that, as the late great Bill Hicks said; "All matter is merely energy condensed to a low vibration", and science certainly has shown us that energy is matter and that our thoughts or consciousness affects that energy, then it computes for me.
Right on... puff puff pass to the left. Ommm. Drop more shrooms, do a 5 rhythms dance and some more yoga. Is this how we fix consciousness? 70% of the world's population can't afford the yoga mat on which your privileged designer yoga pants clad little tush is sitting wallowing in the luxury of free time. No my brothers and sisters. A$20 green juice, some incense and doing the recycling is not where it is at. Don't get me wrong. I am by no means opposed to shrooms, yoga, green juice or recycling. I love all of those but not when they serve as a distraction. A way to satisfy the ego and trick ourselves into thinking we are effecting positive change.
To get to where we really change our world, one has to go right down to the assembly code and debug it. The assembly code of our reality is frequency. We weave a reality based on our own frequency every waking moment. Every action, thought and action affects our own frequency. Emotions are frequency. What keeps us trapped in a failing world is frequency. We literally program reality through our emotions, unconscious actions and associations. We are, every one of us a coder constantly debugging and rewriting the code of our reality using frequency to do so and the higher the frequency we are able to obtain, the purer the code we feed back in to the quantum supercomputer of life.
Every time we compromise, either consciously or not, we lower our frequency and feed back bad code. Every time we surrender our free will to governments, priests or assorted men in white coats we compromise. Every time we exploit another human who, through the accident of her birth is desperate enough to clean up our messes in exchange for some worthless fiat currency, we compromise. Every time we allow ourselves to go into fear and be manipulated we compromise. Every time we respond in anger we compromise. Every time we justify an injustice and allow it to happen in the name of 'progress' or business, we compromise. Every time we temper our truth, we compromise. It is the layers of compromise that keeps us locked into a frequency which codes a less than perfect reality. The solution then, from my perspective, is to stop compromising.
An immediate objection would be that it would require 7 billion people to stop compromising to have any effect so let's reflect on that a bit deeper. We have very good mathematical evidence that we inhabit a fractal holographic universe. If we examine nature closely it becomes clear that life uses spiral fractals to assemble everything. Life finds a pattern that works and repeats it until form has emerged. We are, each of us a fractal of the world at large and we are in control of our own fractal. The only way to change the entire hologram is to change your fractal of it and we do so using frequency. Higher frequency will override lower frequency and have a bigger impact on the hologram. It is a power vs force thing. The square root of 1% of the fractals need to change in order for the hologram to change. Chances are, if you are still reading this, that you are one of that number. Go forth and be in integrity. Be sovereign. Be impeccable to your own self. Apply your energy solely to those pursuits which raise your frequency. Pledge allegiance to life.
Write good code. Hello beautiful world.
Awesome @qholloi! Seems like we're getting some more contestants for @ecoknowme's challenge. Nice! I kinda see it as a way to get to know others rather than winning, and I'm especially glad to see you participate after reading your other post about the permie design of the property.
I agree @stortebeker. That's what I like most about being here - people write actual stuff and what better way to get an insight to the way some one thinks than to read their writings
Yes!
excellent exposition....this is exactly why I love this place...to explore and suddenly find a new source of intelligence!
Glad you enjoyed it bchick. Seeing as you are into crypto and homesteading, I thought you might enjoy

Feel free to join the competition with your own thoughts! There is still time :) @bchick ! so far I think it is just dudes :/ Curious to get as many different perspectives as time and exposure allow. Just a thought, I read your recent post describing your beautiful acreage and thought you might want to share any connection between your present lifestyle and the state of the world. you seem to be the change you wish to see in the world. Cheers @ecoknowme
You did inspire me to write something and I was almost done and must have hit a key inadvertently and it all disappeared.
OH I JUST SAW THAT I HIT THE POST KEY BY MISTAKE.
It wasn't really complete but now it is on the block chain.
Let me just give some more ideas here.
The possibility of DECENTRALIZATION seems to be offering us a way to solve world problems and I am curious to see how it will live out. The people I am meeting here on steemit seem to epitomize HOPE for our future. But some people still find ways to cheat the system; even here on steemit there is evidence of that. Encouraging and discouraging.
We all need to see what our part is in this scheme of things and I hope the cream will rise to the top.
The variable ways and means of achieving this goal can be found in innumerable places. If we all individually live our lives as if this change for the good was possible, then we would reach the 1% and the cascade of possibilities will amaze us all!
I see no solution except individuals choosing to live according to the best standards they are capable of. Permaculture is the ideal. How to convince everyone to live this way? I can only let my life be an example.
Tithing is key! It changed my life when I realized that I am just a steward in God's world. I own nothing but have been given charge of some part of creation.
Please take the unfinished essay that got posted with a grain of salt.
