Overcoming the excuses that hold us back

I had a recent talk with my mother about how the system is founded on keeping the population enslaved, both mentally and physically. Mentally, through the manipulation and fear mongering and eventually physically, although this latter part has yet to be fully implemented because it'd be more obvious to most people, if done overtly. However, think about how most people are forced to wake up, force feed, go to work, come back home and then get to sleep, before repeating the same cycle five days per week; and perhaps more in some cases that are not actually that rare to find.

Anyway, we were talking about this and when it came to discussing about solutions, I proposed a few. Some of these included Constributionism (look it up if you don't know what it's about - The Ubuntu Movement), Resource Based Economies (Jacques Fresco's Venus project), as well as other types of movements that offer more practical means of achieving a society that does not have the parasitic money and finance system as a foundation. Aside from that, I've also explained some of my own philosophies, including the notion that we don't need any leaders, nor authorities of any kind. If we were loving and compassionate, while also being thoughtful and reasoning, respecting ourselves and each other genuinely, then everything related to developing an actually free society would occur naturally because we'll all be at peace with ourselves and each other.

Anyway, the current system and paradigm is bullshit. We both nodded at that. However, when it came to actually proposing solutions that are outside the scope of this system, she immediately refuted every one of them on the basis of them being "idealistic" or "utopic", after which she defaulted to "we need some manner of authority to dictate our lives to us." Okay... on one hand, you see that you have a problem. On the other hand, you say that in order to stop the problem you need to maintain that which is causing the problem in the first place. Seriously, what the fuck?! You won't stop bleeding if you merely wipe away the blood that's already been spilt.

Now, I do love my mother and pretty much everything else, but I see that she and quite a few other people have fallen for the manipulation. How do you expect to surpass a tyrannical paradigm if you dismiss anything that goes against it? Some people have a lack of imagination when it comes to self and probability. One such type of limited mindset is what I'd call the "falsely rebellious" mindset which doesn't take as much shit as an entirely complacent person would, but it's still not actually rebellious. Genuinely thoughtful rebellion is not about choosing a different master, it's about taking responsibility and expressing our power, evolving beyond the tyranny and oppression. Genuine rebellion is first individual and then collective.

Making excuses is a way of being willfully ignorant to the infinite potential we all have. Letting others or perceived "fate" and whatever else decide your own life for you is a fundamental cowardice. Some you might get offended by that, which you are free to do by the way, but understanding that notion will actually help you free your mind. Think about cripples who decided they want to do parkour. Think about people in wheelchairs who decided to go to skateboard parks and do stunts despite their physical handicap. People who've been cured of cancer partly because of their mindset. I personally know two people who did this and they weren't particularly healty or active, from a physical point of view. I also know another person who died of cancer, despite being fit and physically active; however, aside from having chemo or radiotherapy, she loathed herself.

So, you see, our minds and perceptions influence our manifested reality. If somene says "oh, I can't do that" or "oh, that can't be done", then they won't manifest that in their lives. Not because "it can't happen", but because they think it can't. They have a limited sense of potential, so their lives will reflect an array of limitations.

The more we become aware that everything is infinite and veyond infinite, we start to bring more and more of that into our lives. Suddenly, "I can't do that" becomes "holy shit, why have I not done this before?"

To end this little article, here's a quote that I find rather pertinent: "Those who say that something can't be done should not interrupt those who are doing it."

(As an aside, she did actually get past that initial, reactive rejection after I explained it to her in more detail. However, we had similar talks before so it's not like it was the first time she heard the information. That shows how much of an influence reaction-based social engineering holds over people who are not entirely conscious yet. It also shows that all of that influence is easily surpassed once we make the choice to no longer let it affect us.

See, it's always efficient to be calm and patient. Explaining things not to impose your views, but to have meaningful conversation, where everyone learns from the experience. If that is genuinely one's intent, it will resonate with others' souls and it will help them eventually make the choice to become conscious.)

Anyway, love and reason, awareness and comprehension... among other things...

Also, here's a small overview of the Ubuntu Movement's projects, which has already gained some track. One town has already adopted such a strategy, they claim. By the way, I am not affiliated with the movement itself, but I thought it relevant enough to share. There are infinities of more advanced alternatives, but for the time being, this is still a relatively significant step forward from the current parasitic paradigm.
