Day 242: Equal Money is an Educational System

We are wasting our time, our breath, our money, and our life within a system of CONSUMERISM that is based on planned obsolescence, driven by profit, and designed to support the system/profit and not life.

In fact life is being sacrificed in the name of profit, as profit is placed before life and therefore the system has become ‘god’, or rather the ‘devil’ – yet we are all responsible for the system being what it is and the world being as we know it.

The system, the world, society, exists as the result of all our relationships and relations, all our interactions and the ways of our co-existence. Now since this co-existence is based on fear and thus survival, we in fact exist against each-other, in fact against life, as we are educated to exist to survive at all cost, that cost reaching a global scale and being seen in conditions such as poverty, hunger, starvation, war, unemployment, mental illnesses, violence, separatism, pollution and natural disasters.

“…I have been trying to figure out what the hell the general consensus is regarding "what to do to prevent all of our deaths due to planet becoming uninhabitable". It appears that many people are very concerned and are willing to do a few small things like donate, recycle, save energy etc. to try and "lessen the burden on our planet" – anything more than these token acts of "caring" is simply too much to ask. What is sad is that in order to really make a difference, we will all be required to make substantial changes to our lifestyles and perceptions. It does not help to put out more rubbish bins – we need to decrease the rubbish and make it safe for the environments. It is not enough to turn off our water heaters, we must turn off the power to all the factories pumping out unnecessary and exploitative products and services. It is not enough to replace the politicians, we must replace the entire system. It is not enough to simply know what the problem is, we must actively work to test and apply solutions.

The signs are clear: we are destroying ourselves by destroying the only home we have. There is no planet B.“

Unless we take responsibility for What Is Here, which is fact is Our Creation, we stand no chance of surviving the consequences of our existence.

The credo of Consumerism (and this can be seen not only in sales and marketing but also in trends like the New Age movement and spirituality in general) has been to Live in the Now – but this is the very tunnel-vision that has kept us consumed in self-interest, unable to see or consider or even care about the consequences of our thoughts, words and deeds; the consequences of our way of life and the beliefs it is based on, let alone the make-believe ‘realities’ we form in our minds while we disregard the actuality of reality, that is physical, that is Here, that includes everything and everyone at all times.

We have been trapped in the NOW of the mind, and have ignored and disregarded the HERE that we all share, the HERE that is always determined by all-time – past, present and future – as it is a reality of consequence.

Unfortunately, within our obsession with quick-fixes and our limited vision focusing on instant-gratification NOW, we made ourselves incapable of seeing in clarity and acknowledging the consequences and outflows of our existence. We do not really care for future generations, the future of our home planet that sustains us, let alone plant- and animal-kingdom. We do not really care for What Is HERE unless it directly affects our NOW, our personal ‘pursuit of happiness’ which isn’t even really that which will truly fulfill who we really are as life, but only that which will fulfill the wants, needs and desires of a conditioned mind/consciousness ‘educated’ to exist in a mental polarity-construct of fear & desire – which is what makes the human predictable, controllable, able to be manipulated, which is what the consumerism system does: it plays the human like a puppet on a string.

The end result of such system – which, forget not, is the image and likeness of who WE are, a reflection of ourselves, an external manifestation of what we exist as – is total waste.

Pollution is everywhere – you can see it, feel it, taste it, nothing can escape the virus of the human consciousness that is set out to ‘win’.

We are drowning in waste, we have literally become the waste, the by-product, the parasite that feeds off the physical that is its source to create the bipolar energetic MENTALities it is addicted to, mentalities that are used in an attempt to ‘justify’ an existence of self-interest at the cost of LIFE.

At Desteni we investigate practical ways to actual, sustainable solutions for our existence, individually and collectively; practical ways to bring-forth win-win solutions that consider all life equally; practical ways to re-educate ourselves out of the fear and mind-control and into actual freedom and dignity as life.

Follow the Economist Journey to Life and educate yourself in how the accepted system in fact works, in understanding cause and effect, acknowledging consequence, and realizing that the solution is as simplistic as common sense - that to get there however will take understanding the core of the system as it exists within and without, so that we can change things by changing our starting-point and our individual participation in our world based on collective responsibility and the self-realization of Life as One, which implies that within that Oneness we are all equals as life.

Study Desteni to educate yourself on this vital point and start realizing our collective responsibility as Earthlings.
