RE: All life is sacred. No exceptions. No excuses.
Another powerful message.
I send you full energy as you counsel your friend...may your words inspire and your emotions be controlled...may you be a vessel for the divine to tap into what is needed for each of that at that moment.
At the core of all violence and anger is fear. People are scared. At the core, that is what this planet is...most of the 7 billion people are walking around scared to their wits. And it is by design. The powerful, the elites, the constructors of society, whatever you call them, maintain their power and control from this. It is the only way they can have that standing. If the masses did not fear them, their power would instantly vanish. The numbers would be too overwhelming, they would overrun the system. Blind obedience is much better.
I just wrote an article about how the Whales on here are continually losing power. Over the past two weeks, their share went down almost a percent. The reason I bring this up is because STEEM has the chance to be an economy that is not controlled by the few. In the beginning it was. But as the masses arrive, the newer people, because of the numbers, will simply overrun the system. The Whales cannot do enough each day to maintain their present stake in the reward pool. Over time, their influence will diminish.
It would be the same thing in society if people woke up. We see it periodically. In the US, there is the big debate about pot. Some surveys conclude 90% of the people have tried it. 90%!!!! An overwhelming majority favor it being legalized. Now some states are adopting it, some medically, one or two for recreational use. Of course, the biggest bully of them all, the US Government, is still against it. 90% of the people have tried it, most favor it being legalized, and the USG is against it...so much for government by the people and for the people.
Another sensational read. Thanks for all you do and the message you carry. You inspire me to look at myself in an effort to improve myself on a daily basis.
Wow excellent point here comparing the operations of steemit and the whales to society waking up. Even when I was pretty much on my own in my beliefs (incl pot) I believed we'd eventually see things turn upside down. Everything is backwards and it's amazing to witness that all change albeit arduously. May I share a part of this as a reminder on fb? I shall tag you @taskmaster on there, if that's not alright please let me know. That's kind of all I really use it for now haha, promoting steemit, logging things I want to be reminded of and what I think people should see.
Very well said @taskmaster4450. I agree so much.
The key now is to change that. How do remove the fear?
I believe that the Age of Abundance is upon us. The scarcity mindset so common in the bankster era has people scared. Once people realize that abundance is everywhere, and cryptos are a path to this realization, then people might be less likely to succumb to fear. They also could be less controllable which does not bode well for the establishment.
It starts with me. Walking my talk. Standing. Face the fear. Diminish the power.
100 monkey effect.
I also believe cryptos will be a part of that dissolution. The grip of the establishment will lessen as we start ungripping.
This steemit forum is helping to network the awakened masses. Very powerful time.
How great we are witnesses to this amazing journey!
Not only are we witnessing it, we are part of the force moving it. It is our collective efforts which are starting to turn the tide. The success of the entire STEEM ecosystem resides on each of us. No one person is more responsible than another. Every person on here has a part to play and for STEEM to maxmize its potential, it requires the efforts of all.
The grip starts with the monetary component. It is obvious that is the main controlling mechanism and the one that instills the most fear. Too many people feel alone and isolated. And it is amazing how much of a secret it is. People will give explicit details of their sex lives yet will not tell you how much money they make. Isnt that odd? This is how much we are conditioned to believe that money is the value of worth. It isnt but this is what we believe.
As this article states, every living being has worth..it is sacred. @wwf nailed it...too often we overlook that in our desperate need to judge so as to feel better about ourselves.
I agree we are all apart of the movement. It is important to witness, respect and honor other beings journeys.
I don't agree that starting grip of fear is monetary. (Although it is a major one)
Fear has been integrated into every facet of our lives. Fear of God, fear of change, fear of the law, fear of someone finding out you are being abused, fear of success, fear of losing a job, fear of rejection...so many layers.
Money is just a facet. If we are not careful, and stand in our sacredness, the pendulum will continue to swing violently. Just in a different direction.
Such a delicate balance needs to be maintained. I navigate daily through these thoughts and actions. As I suspect we all do.
While I agree that the monetary component is a powerful one, the relationship between money, state governance, feudalism and all the other components is a complicated co-dependent web. In my view, the most insidious component is the trauma left as a result of the violence through war, economic failures, debt, courts, police, politics, terrorism, residential schools, conquest, pollution, vaccines, propaganda, etc, etc, etc.
We have all been traumatized by some or all of these campaigns. We need to end the violence so that we can heal and move past it all. There are a few who have the courage to do the healing despite it all, but I suspect the majority of the healing will only happen when we find the peace and stop the trauma from happening. Divorce, separation, declaration of peace and sovereignty are examples of how we can remove ourselves from the violent offenders. The economic models being demonstrated here can support those efforts as they are removed from the control mechanisms in place right now.
Yes I agree it is an interwoven consortium of terror waged upon the masses. the reason I point to the financial component is that it appears to be one of the main pieces that people focus upon. After all, it is the root of their scarcity mantra. It is also why people engage in the system to a great degree. I need a new car to drive so I go to a bank. Need a roof over my head so I get a mortgage. I need to take that trip (I'm entitled after all) so charge it. Plus it is why most of society shows up to work (I commend you for leaving like you did and taking the step of removing that aspect of control from you).
Yes the violence..but how to end it? The forces that profit off it are continually manifesting it. War is a profitable business. Now we dont even need to have a country to hate, just terror. Who is a terrorist? Whoever they deem that can stir the masses and get them excited.
I know it starts with one...followed by another...than another...it all starts at the individual level.
I believe we are onto something grand here. This is a experiment in freedom...it is telling how some react. It is an eye opener when people realize what freedom truly means.
The desire to run back to mommy, big brother, daddy is still there.
We learned the lessons of our conditioning well....sadly, we were excellent students.
We have to be careful as abundance will provide a mask for the fear. When all is good, who wants to make any changes? It is too easy to hide the fear when everything is ticking along and all appears good but in our bedrooms evil continues to flourish in the shadows. The fear will then be stuffed away and fester, repeating the process that we are experiencing now.
What is required is the will to do this work. It is uncomfortable, painful and even ugly work, but it must be confronted and completed. The turmoil is the catalyst for the change. When the fear has been processed, then the prosperity can re-enforce the lessons we have learned and be leveraged with love, compassion and empathy rather than the energy that supports it now.
That is true and I agree with you. It is often only out of pain that change occurs. When things are going well, few are willing to ask the tough questions of oneself. It is difficult enough to go inward and get honest when in pain; a great deal more difficult when one is comfortable.
In recovery, we call it "the gift of desperation".
Oftentimes, we need that kick in the tush to get us going in the right direction.
