But we haven't progressed forward as a society, we've gone backwards with the help of technology applied to social issues. We've created a
machine hungry for more fuel than we can feed it, and which continues to grow and require more and more to satiate it's hunger, yet if we don't feed
it, billions will fail to be sustained and thus die. How is this progress? It's regression into a state of enslavement by our own creation.
We were more advanced thousands of years ago, in consciousness, when real holy men and shamans, philosophers, thinkers, etc. used intuition, instinct,
consciousness, respect and reverence for existence itself, and respected the balance of all seemingly opposing forces and realized that balance must
be kept.
Where's the balance in our prison world where the soul is stifled since birth, where you're told reality is only physical, and any thought that
doesn't conform is seen as mental illness. I consider myself very sane, aware, and cognizant of the reality as well as all that is not reality, but
still exists, yet if i was examined by a "professional" i'd probably be locked in a padded cell chained up like an animal with symptoms of severe
mental illness, simply because of what i say is the antithesis of all the disguised under the mask of normalcy and social acceptance.
That's what I'm trying to say, we're not progressing anywhere. Has any technology or any amount of oil products brought you spiritual
development? Has dutifully complying and purchasing $5/gal gas made you a better person, or has it just made you a slave that your employer and the
oil company exploit for sweat equity?
Without me in the system buying gas or slaving in a wicked industry, the wicked hold no power over me, i'm free of that chain of oppression.
Without you in the system buying gas, without any of us, there will be no system and maybe we can see true social progression. We're not moving
forward or rising up anywhere, we're just digging the hole that will become our grave, and we're doing it one gallon of overpriced exploitation at a
time.
Measure your progress in the self worth of your soul. How far do you think your SUV will take you down that road, even with a limitless supply of
fuel?
