And my book would leave none of us toadie to another. If we could expand awareness of the ideas so that we all did our minor parts, with abundance
emerging, there would be no one we would have to take ANY orders from. And we would ALL be "rich" in terms of what we could have. Just not in terms
of money, as money becomes moot.
I am sure that’s entirely possible, I don’t believe in saying ‘never’ like so many people do. I am though cognizant that people individually
have to make that choice for themselves, and I tend to look at it this way, many women my age who are still single when asked what are you looking for
in a mate will often say, well I know what I am not looking for, they tend to be far less clear and precise on what they are looking for though.
There is a process of discovery for most people that simply include trial and error and elimination. This didn’t work that didn’t work and this
didn’t work either, so maybe this will. Of course people who are often ruled by desire want what they want and they want it to work regardless of
its feasibility and capability so they will grab that hammer and start pounding that square peg into the round hole for just as long and hard as they
have the strength and determination to try.
It’s a slow process and do be prepared to get hit by their hammer should you interrupt and say hey, why don’t you try putting it in the round hole
over here? “I don’t want it in that one, leave me alone, you don’t know what you’re talking about you jerk”…OK have a nice day then.
They insist on learning themselves, the hard way through trial and error. Where I differ from most people is simply, hey you are a carpenter and you
say this doesn’t fit in this hole? Thanks for the heads up, now what hole does it go into what’s the best way to get it in? Hey thanks.
Most people do not want to learn in that fashion. In fact most people will seek out the largest group of people they can find who also say “Yes that
square peg fits in the round hole, hallelujah!”
I'm well aware. This fact was the impetus for my searching for a solution, and ultimately writing my book.
This is highly commendable some people are part of the problem and some people are part of the solution. It’s important to appreciate that people
who look to be deceived for the sake of absolution, acceptance and love are in fact not victims as you might be inclined to feel and imagine but part
of the problem. Ultimately people do have a responsibility to question, think and act in sensible intelligent ways even if it means bucking the herd,
abandoning it, escaping it, and or trying to educate and elevate it.
The problem is not just ‘Them’ the problem is ‘They’ as well.
Being a Master is a lot of responsibility and no easy thing, conversely being a slave is a lot of responsibility and no easy thing, Masters and slaves
are entirely codependent upon one another, and each must serve one another in line with what their responsibilities are to one another. A slave has
equal opportunity to enslave their Master to their service, a slave has equal opportunity to rebel from the Master and seek independence, just as a
Master has equal opportunity to neglect their slaves and dispose of them. Once again it’s a two sided coin that requires two sides to be a coin and
two like minded entities from opposite ends of the spectrum to form it.
Each has to take the ultimate responsibility of the side they choose but while there are two sides to the coin, the coin is a singular object that
binds both sides of it together in restrictive and prohibitive ways. Masters can give up being Masters but who is going to look out then for those who
still want to be slaves. Slaves can give up being ruled but rarely will just settle then for ruling themselves and will seek instead to become
Masters, in large part because slaves will always seek Masters and create them in others if need be just as Masters will always seek slaves and create
them in others if need be.
You could lay all the blame at the feet of the Masters or lay it all at the feet of the slave, but the coin is symmetrical and even on both sides, the
opposites attracted for a reason.
Heh. Won't my solution put their views on edge! They have deliberately kept the management of resources at a poor to horrendous level, thereby
ensuring themselves riches and control. But with out present level of tech, combined with efficient management of resources, we find enough to support
all of us on this planet in rich fashion at LEAST ten times over.
In theory yes, you are correct, theories need one thing though to be reality, logistics and execution, and of course partners.
How much oil is in the ground? Do you know? They do, how long does that oil have to last until a replacement infrastructure can be manufactured and
put into place that feeds off of another energy source? They do. How big is the pie? How long can the pie last?
When does ground become barren and turn into a dustbowl, when do trees stop growing at a fast enough rate to meet demand, when do water sheds dip
below life sustaining levels.
Information is the most important weapon and the best information is tightly guarded.
What would you do if you found out there was a three year supply of oil left in the ground and it would be 12 years until a new technology could be
fully brought to market and distributed? A theory isn’t going to help you when you have a dry tank and need to get to work, a theory isn’t going
to help you when you say well plant a garden and you are living in the center of 10 square miles of concrete and steel high rises and if you could
secure the next tillable patch of land available it’s a 12 mile walk there, where 25,000 other people would also like to till it.
What about the people who don’t want to leave their home for Australia and a quarter acre?
Theories abound, but the key to sustaining human life on the planet is workable logistics.
When Caesar fought the Gauls on the frontier even as he was defeating them and finding out through them that there were still vast unknown lands and
peoples out there he must have thought, how much is out there? How can I find out? How long will it take? How can I conquer it all?
It’s the same trial and error process that humans use. I have a plan, I have a formula, and then sometime later, well now I have encountered what I
didn’t know when I made the formula and plan, I have made some headway, its back to the drawing board.
Keep in mind we have all enslaved ourselves to the logistical controls that make our lives sustainable. We all did of our own free will. Few of us
took the initiative to make a functioning system. Lots of people create plans and theories they never logistically are capable of implementing, and
lots of people create plans and theories that logistically can’t be accomplished at the time.
The 1993 all new Pontiac Firebird sculpted from sleek polymer body panels molded into aerodynamic lines that were as functional as they were
cosmetically attractive was actually designed by John De Lorean in 1963 as a concept car. The technology and materials and logistics to build it were
not available until thirty years later and that’s when they built it.
It was a great idea and concept in 1963 except for that little fact. So good that when it was possible to build it, they built it, logistics are what
the Powers that Be handle and resources are what they control to employ the logistics that create their wealth, power and control.
Could you do a better job at it? Maybe, you still have to get that job, and then you have to create the logistics of distributing them differently and
you have to realize you are still creating a very powerful power base in the process that can be corrupted at any time including by yourself!
They are just not seeing things clearly through the blinders of a love of money. (And a very big motivator for war is, of course, profit - so they are
profiting from their culling of our herd. Rather evil an approach, in my humble opinion.)
I too believe it’s an evil and self serving approach, yet the reality is people choose to participate in it, and often to profit from it.
It is a genuine attempt to conquer the world and slowly create a homogenous mass of people devoid of competing ideologies, philosophies, ethnologies,
cultures and regions, each of whom wish to be dominant in their own right in their own way, and will fight and resist any attempt to deprive them of
those tribal identities and affiliations.
No one has a magic wand, not even the powers that be, that they can wave and force people to stop being self serving, selfish, and self centered.
All they are doing is a slow process of highlighting the differences between factions to keep eliminating factions until there are no competing
factions.
In other words if you kids want to fight take it outside, you can have the ball bat, you can have the tire iron, I am staying inside with a good book
and a cup of tea, have fun now.
Look at how many Americans enjoy this insane war with Afghanistan. People do think its fun to hate, kill, and act with blind prejudice, base
assumptions, all to validate their own belief system, ethnology and identity as being uniquely superior. They have not mastered their own base
impulses and as with many shortcomings that humans are fraught with, the tendency is to see it as someone else’s fault rather than look in the
mirror and realize that they are part of the problem and not the solution.
