CORPORATE COLONIZERS ARE KILLING THE PLANET AND WE ARE LETTING THEM

Just thinking about the King Model...
(not the noble one of MLK Jr),
the stupid one on which we base everything that exists in our murky little human reality...
The King Model
wherein the King rules all he surveys, he conquers, he reigns, he slays
at any and all expense to everyone else.

we think about ourselves this way personally, spiritually
we think of the family this way
our social groups
our societies
our governments
our religion/god
the leader rules
everyone else does as they are told...

It's the much written about discussion of feminists and anthropologists of our time.

PATRIARCHY
Survival of the Fittest
Man's Dominion over the lesser animals
GOD
Kingdoms
Empires
Armies
Dictatorships
Fascism
Corporations
Religions
Cults
The Boss
Advertising Agencies
Pimps

The King Model
seeks to Win.
seeks to gain
seeks to be right
seeks power
seeks money
seeks things....
to rule to gain to hold to clutch to

You better let go of It or It will ruin you... exactly as It has the entire world and everything in it.

We have got to realize that the current model of proprietary behavior and Ownership and all of our concepts from DAY ONE are so Flawed and so Integral to the destruction of the earth that we absolutely MUST STOP adhering to, participating in, and believing any and ALL of these ideas and methods of living and thinking.

Our whole society worldwide is based on a lowbrow, archaic and arcane idea that he who has the most gold or the newest iphone wins. No matter how useless and cruel and filthy the system was, is or will become, we keep using the same model believing that "That's the way it is". Disgusting. And Backward.

Toss your litter out the window suck down your coca cola eat your burger pick your scabs and shake your fist at the sun for starving people in Africa. That's the old paradigm at work in our culture today... think of the most ignorant person you know and then try to figure out the One good thing you could say to him/her today to bring them one step closer to actually CHANGING THEIR MIND.

THINK ON THESE THINGS.

CHOOSE TO BEGIN TO LEARN TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE THE SALVATION OF ALL HUMANITY AND EVERY SPECIES AND THE ENTIRE PLANET RIGHT NOW AT YOUR OWN HAND WITH ME AND EVERYONE ELSE.

I CHOOSE TO BEGIN TO LEARN TO BELIEVE THAT I AM THE SALVATION OF ALL OF HUMANITY ALL SPECIES AND THE ENTIRE EARTH, RIGHT NOW, TODAY, WITH YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE.

Carl Sandburg once wrote, in a children's story called "Three boys with jugs of molasses and secret ambitions", from the book Rootabaga Stories, "A secret ambition is a little creeper that creeps saying - come and find me, come and find me".

If you feel a special sort of excitement or awe or fear or like you might cry when you read the words telling you that you are are the salvation of the world, I just want you to know that it is really really extra super good for you to feel that feeling. Hold Onto That.

Object Lesson

Sad days are upon us... difficult days. I look at myself and I know I am not physically strong enough to march and rage against the machine and get arrested protesting every fucking atrocity in our sick and crumbling nation... We are so foolish to presume that we have progressed as humans.

I love this world. It is so beautiful. I really love life and all the wonderful things that happen in our lives.

But the simple and true things of this world are hidden now by the nonsense of the societies we have created.

Do you want your life back? Do you want the earth back? Do you even realize that it is being taken from you? (I sound like a conspiracy theorist here, but the world is actually being run by greed infested capitalist corporations, not secret societies, they are right there out in the open, in front of our faces turning the earth into a waste dump.)

I propose an object lesson. A social experiment.

Let us all do something every day for the rest of our lives that promotes the well being of the planet, of our neighbors and ourselves. Let us all reach out beyond the realm of our insular paranoid silly selfish greedy petty lives and make a safe place in this wretched world of despair and separation.

Make small talk with someone you would normally never speak to. Say hello to every person you see. Give something away to a really needy person. Learn to speak another language. Buy books for a school library in the poor part of your region. Buy blankets and coats and give them to a shelter. Walk down the street to that very old lady's or man's house and bring some fruit or flowers and give them your phone number. Offer someone a ride. Stop buying juice in plastic bottles. Tell someone who doesn't understand about pesticides and organics why its so important. Grow a garden. Don't use miracle grow. Buy organic seeds. Tell a joke to the guy waiting on a line with you. Tell someone they look good. Be friendly despite your own problems. Be candid about your own flaws. Tell someone off who is being a real prick to you or someone else with very polite yet searing words and take their photo with your phone. Smile. Bring more food with you and share it generously. Buy some random person dinner, or lunch or Water. And be their friend. Tell them about this whole thing, about taking the fate of our world away from the corporations and the politicians and the bankers and the greedy haters  and the fearful zealots.... by being friends with everyone and by banding together across every possible barrier until the whole population of the world is unified together to protect the earth and the kind people and animals in it.

Begin to Believe that You are the Salvation of the World because YOU ARE.

CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL CHANGE THE WORLD

I want us all to realize the limitations of our religions and our beliefs and our cultural conditioning so that we can begin to Grow in an important way. A way that will enable us to Be the Ones who can and will and are changing the world.

The people out there fighting, for the world to be a better place in every aspect of reality, Know that they have to step out of their own limitations to do what is required of them to succeed, to even try to succeed.
They know that they have to psych themselves into doing seemingly crazy risky things to get the issue in the news, to get people to pay attention. So Many people are unconscious, brainwashed, subverted, perverted from truth, goodness, kindness... and they have no idea how perverse they are. We ourselves are deluded and perverse. I myself am cynical and depressed and free falling most of the time. I am writing this to talk myself into doing what needs to be done to make the world a better place, to stop the poisoning of the earth, etc.

We all need to reinforce in our selves and others that we Must do what needs to be done Now. If you have a strong faith that promotes this behavior that is great. But most people have religious and social limitations that tell them that they can't achieve anything or that it is not acceptable to participate in radical activism. Most people are afraid to be arrested, myself included, at a rally or blockade. I am not necessarily suggesting that we should be arrested as a solution either.

What I want to impart to you with this new self concept mantra that I am evolving:
CHOOSE TO BEGIN TO LEARN TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS THE SALVATION OF ALL OF HUMANITY ALL SPECIES AND THE ENTIRE EARTH, RIGHT NOW, TODAY, WITH ME AND EVERYONE ELSE....
  Is that THIS IS Possible, and with this mantra You can prepare yourself;  We can prepare Ourselves for The Day When It Will Be Necessary to Be This Strong.  Because That Day is coming, That Day IS Here.

Most religions are based on supernatural unprovable stories with large judgmental punishing deities that they are taught to embrace and to fear. I want to say that this is really not the point anymore, largely because the Sinners are raping the earth, poisoning the air, soil and water, charging us for it too! The Sinners are robbing the poor to feed their fat faces. The Sinners are preaching gospels, and chanting prayers while they kill their enemies. The Sinners are hiding behind God and religion while they starve the innocent and poison the meek. The Sinners are sullying the religions and twisting them into hideous pretzels while the innocent and the meek are looking away, afraid to speak, unable to fight the powerful wealthy abusers.  We, the meek, the disenfranchised, the poor, the average, the middle class... are not the real sinners anymore. Were we ever? Sin is contextual, folks.

I ask you to entertain the idea that we are not sinners, or meek, or less, or just followers, just congregants. I want us to entertain the idea, the core belief, that we are masters of our own destiny. More than that, Masters of the destiny of the earth and of humanity as a whole, NOW. With No god, no religion, no doctrine to Divide us.

That is the part that is the most important. There can be no divide, No differences between us. We all must be equal with no god to divide us, no ideal to divide us. No Doctrine, and most especially no Messiah who is going to come and fix everything.
Because WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO WAIT FOR THAT.

The only tenets should be:
Equality and Human Rights for all people, 
Sustainable Land and resources for all Species, 
Humane treatment for all species, 
No resource stripping, 
No private-profit ownership of national resources most especially water,  
No Pollution or overt damage to the Environment, 
No Land grabbing, 
No Religious Oppression., and/or oppression by religions.
No War

We are totally brainwashed to believe that this can't become manifest by our weird misunderstanding of free enterprise, especially in this country. For example; It is ridiculous that a person can profit-own an aquifer! I really don't mind land ownership, (but how'd you get that land?)  BUT Water? Sure, you can have your own well on your own land but can you own an aquifer? Serious question. Serious. And you, We, should be really interested in the answer. We should also be interested in the utter disregard that gas and chemical companies and governments have for said well/land ownership. We should be Disturbed by it. It should make us lose sleep every night until we can't rest until this problem is resolved on the side of the innocent people who have had their rights, their land, their water devalued and poisoned by the powerful. But that level of awareness and compassion is Not happening enough in this world.

The greedy powerful corporations are running rampant on this earth and Our Attitude of meekness and helplessness Is Destroying OUR Planet.

We are Complicit Because WE Believe that we Have No Power.

So, Again, I am Asking you to repeat with me:

I CHOOSE TO BEGIN TO LEARN TO BELIEVE THAT I AM THE SALVATION OF ALL OF HUMANITY ALL SPECIES AND THE ENTIRE EARTH, RIGHT NOW, TODAY, WITH YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE.

 What could it hurt? Just try it out. Think about it.
Please.

Now say it again....

On the end of the world as we know it.

Hundreds of years ago children were abused regularly. 20 years ago children were abused regularly. And today children are abused regularly. We used to like to think that had stopped and that everything is all rosy in the world... we, Americans... westerners. And we used to like to think that slavery was abolished so it doesn't exist anymore any where... But None of this is true. People aren't just starving to death in Ethiopia. They are starving to death in your neighbors house, locked in a closet. And they are being married off (read: sold), not just in Yemen, not just in India but all over the world, even here in America. By ignorant poverty stricken fundamentalists... And not so ignorant, not so poor, not so religious people, too. Abused, neglected, sold, yes SOLD , and prostituted, and you name it... it is happening. Thailand, Viet Nam, Cambodia, Russia, Sudan, Chad, Mexico, Peru, China, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Iraq, Yemen, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, America.  This is just countries that I have read about recently without trying to research at all.

So what?

Well, in keeping with what I am trying to teach myself to do and be.  It is the truth we all have to face in order to wake up to the reality that we are the ones who will change the world. The time is long past when anyone can believe that "someone else will do something about that." And just because you are not the one out on the street or chasing down the child abuser with your camera and your sword, you have to get behind the idea that you would, you will, you can, you want to and you are in spiritual allegiance with the one who does. At any given moment you will have read and seen just enough information and truth and raw reality to finally be moved. You will finally be moved to accept your position, your true power, your right, your responsibility to be the salvation of the world.

What do I really mean by that? And what is my intention behind saying this over and over again?

Well, let's just say that we all just continue to think about ourselves in the same way forever that we always have. With insecurities or bad things people said about us or critical voices or guilt or apathy...
What will happen then? NOTHING MUCH.
But if we teach ourselves every day that we ARE the ones who will change the world... over and over and over in the mirror every morning, in the car, at work, on the bus, at the gas station, standing in line, watering the lawn, sweeping the floor: I am the one who will change the world.  I AM THE ONE WHO WILL CHANGE THE WORLD  say it. Say It. I dare you.

Maybe your compassion for children and poor and enslaved people wont tip the scale for you. Maybe the climate change imminent destruction of the earth is what will do it for you. I guess I am doing my best to tip the scale; maybe one of my posts will finally break your apathy meter... when will you finally say to yourself... I AM THE ONE WHO IS THE SALVATION OF ALL HUMANITY, ALL SPECIES AND THE ENTIRE PLANET RIGHT NOW TODAY.

And I am just as powerless and feeble and useless as you. I am writing these things to wake myself up to the truth, that I am the salvation of the world, with you and everyone else.
I hope that you get it. I hope that you can understand what I am going for here. It's a mantra. It's a prayer. It's a chant. It's a resistance anthem. It is a mindset. It is a philosophy. It is a battle cry. It is a heart song. A vision quest. A wish, a dream... anything new and different has started as a crazy dream and yet we have this amazing little box of light with all the known knowledge of the universe here in our hands ...

Anything IS Possible.
So, Say It. I Dare you. I double dog Dare you.

I AM THE ONE WHO IS THE SALVATION OF ALL HUMANITY, ALL SPECIES AND THE ENTIRE PLANET, RIGHT NOW.

I am saying it with you.
