Whats everyone's take on Society and how it works??...or doesn't work

I just got to thinking & had a bit of a daydream...

I see our society today largely as a community of people born with confident, peaceful, loving, souls with unlimited untapped  power within, struggling... trying there hardest to think,feel &live their truth whilst unknowingly up against a super effecient machine/alien/? (i will call it a machine) that never sleeps hellbent on keeping the truth from us at ANY cost, pitting us against eachother in war & conflict, constantly throwing distractions our way to numb and confuse...dangling a poisonous apple infront, tempting us - one bite will bring you happiness we promise...only to leave us empty & emotionally paralysed...why?

...because this machine is fearful of us discovering & developing our true powers because if we did realise our unlimited power within what would that mean?...it would mean the end of the machines fear-fueled reign and hello to a world free of ownership, hate, destruction, dependancy & fear full of infinite wonderful possibilities....but we could have that now couldn't we? I believe we could if we all united our powers of giving, peace & love & truly believed in ourselves...

But the rampage continues unchallenged by most in the form of damn obvious straight out commands & constant programming (starting at birth) via repitition of subliminal messages throughout the day via different mediams like tv, radio, billboards,ipods, internet, cooked food behaviour modification etc....phew well I'm exhausted lets just conform...its easier, its safe...but can we be truly happy living a lie? Where will this ultimately take us in life? I see lots of people sleep walking down the streets of life...like zombies, in a daze...giving in and drastically falling short of their true potential.

It is a choice to become an empowered, peaceful,self-love-filled population....just a choice.

Maybe the machine is our friend and actually here to help us to become powerful by providing us with challenges rather than an an easy ride so we appreciate & earn our powers with integrity?? Those who earn their powers will then be rewarded with acceptance to a world/universe so amazing & beautiful that it is beyond words & our logical minds comprehension....is this world/universe awaiting within you now??...

I know this post could sound a little negative to some but it truly comes from a place of love & peace, I am filled with a drive to help others feel their best in every moment, to assist them in discovering their own power within & ultimately affect the global consciousness.

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, people lived a fairly peaceful life, in tune with themselves and the earth and the group in which they travelled as they wandered with the seasons to the best places for food and shelter.  Some groups found places they particularly liked and decided to stay put there and enjoy the abundance of fruits and other food available.  Soon they discovered how to work with nature to ensure that more food was grown in the place of the food they ate.  Kind leaders of these groups knew that harmony in the group was a very good thing.  However, not all leaders were kind, perhaps originally stemming from a lack mentality and a fear that the food would run out.  They urged their people to grow more food so that it could be stored in case of flood or famine.  The people were quite happy with the way things were going and did not want to work so hard - there was so much more to life than spending all day in the fields.  So the leaders decided to lock up the food and force the people to work or they would not be fed.  Some people were conned into being security guards to watch over the people and the food stores.  And so the machine began...   

To keep the fear going and to prevent the people revolting, stories were created - devils and evil spirits that would torment the people if they got out of line, but if you did what you were told, the Gods would be pleased and be kind to you and your family.    Turn turn turn....


I question the motives of all of the current people in political power, and those aspiring to be.  I believe that quite possibly, many of them started with good intentions of actually representing the people, but that the influence of their peers and lobbyists etc was too great to resist the temptations of what they offered them personally for their loyalty or vote...money, trips, luxury items, sex, power.  The stories that have been leaked over the recent years have been just the tip of the iceberg of the amount of corruption and greed that goes on.  The absolute lies told to the people is outrageous!

I question the educational system..who are 'they' to decide what a child should know?  Each child has their own beautiful gift for this world that is soon forgotten once they walk through the kindergarten door and are told they must paint the apple red, not blue.  They are told what to think, not how to think and how to tap into their strengths and share their gifts with the world.  They are told one version of history, one way to get to the right maths answer, that they must be able to read at a certain level or write a certain way or they will get a bad grade and be shamed in front of their peers and family.  The machine has so many people convinced that this is the way it must be.  TV "programming" enforces this, as does printed media, advertising etc.  We can break the cycle!

I think there is a very large - and growing more every day - number of people who have had enough.  Who are waking up.  Who can see through the bs and see how they have been mislead for far too long.  People who are tapping into their ancient strength and remembering what it was like, that it is possible to grow your own food, to live in communities of like-minded people, to get out of the 'system', off the grid and to a certain degree, in control of everything you do.  The growth of families homeschooling - unschooling is fantastic!  That's such an awesome way to start a new cycle, to get out of the machine-based mentality, to start of new generation of thinkers and people who know who they are enough that they do not get caught up in the machine.

I am so inspired to see the changes happening on the planet, to be a part of the change, to unschool my children and help them discover and share their gifts, to mix with people who already, or plan to, grow their own food, to eat healthy foods that nourish their bodies instead of eating processed fake food that helps numb the masses, to mix with people (like on here!) that question the machine, that already think outside the box, and to see the possibilities of harmony on this planet.  Can you feel it?...it's here...it is happening...it just needs more people out there spreading the word.  Waking people up.  It's so tempting to want to shake people by the shoulders and say "there's so much more....remember Who You Are!".  I think that might work for some, but others it would scare, they are just not ready.  We are among the Pioneers.  It may take many more generations to get the message spread, but have faith that it IS happening.  Focus on the things you CAN change and Be the very best you can Be!

 :ohyeah:   Go the RAW community!    We really really really do need to start doing this.   And spreading the word as all you lovely people are doing.   Trying to lift the blinkers off people around us.

I contacted Planet Ark after our last National Tree Day and suggested that next year we have National Fruit tree planting day.................    got a lovely polite repsonse saying that it wasn't 'environmentally responsible' to just plant any old fruit tree in any old spot and sorry but they couldn't really endorse my idea. 

Just keep telling people to plant a tree in a pot, in the ground.   joybell

Example of of goodwill slightly off direction?

My take on the society and my motto is this:

If you wants to change the world, change yourself. Don't judge others. Learn to see others as your brothers and sisters. The best way to affect the society is to inspire and empower others.

PS I'll take the Ministry of Defying the Conventions.
