RE: Mindshift: How Being A Steemian Is Helping Me Build An Abundance Mindset

in #life8 years ago

You're extremely intuitive and insightful. What a deep thinker you are.
Your observations are correct: "Be stingy with your knowledge and compassion." and "But as I made more and more research, I discovered that in a way, I've always been plagued by the scarcity mindset. And I'm not at fault. I think."
I spent a lot of time with organic farmers. Farmers know the truth about the abundance of the natural world.
Man has built in scarcity into the fabric of our lives for one purpose only: to profit and extract as much wealth as possible from those beneath him.
You are also beginning to understand the fundamental underpinnings of the patriarchy. Patriarchies tend to be wealth extracting in nature, while matriarchies tend to stress sharing and cooperation more than anything else. Most people are not even aware of these differences. I've studied some matriarchies and they operate very differently.
Corporatism has exacerbated the problem even more.
It's easy to believe that there is something wrong with your thinking.........it is. You had a faulty program.
This program feeds on fear. I see this happening every day inside my brain. One moment I am operating on the FEAR program which goes like this: "I'm going broke. I should figure out a secure way to earn more money. I should go get a big corporate job."
Abundance thinking then takes over my brain: "I want to go on a world robot tour with my daughter in the future and write a book about it. I think this would be an amazing way to introduce my daughter to the future world she will inhabit. Plus, I could utilize all my skills of writing, documenting, and video making, thereby creating an adventure that might inspire other parents and their kids."
I vacillate between these every day.
You're doing great, by the way.

Thanks for taking the time to write this thorough reply. Your thoughts on patriarchies are right. As evident in my society. And thanks for the compliment. You know it means a lot to me.
