WHAT ARE WE TO DO? _______________________________ Most 'ordinary' people have a positive value on their lives. They want basic necessities (food, warmth and shelter) plus, perhaps, a little leisure time.They also want safety and a chance to enhance their lives through creative pursuits. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be possible in the world in which we live now. Our lives appear to be controlled by others; if we let them. 'Freedom' is a word bandied about by these controllers. There is no 'freedom' in their world; you are slaves to their desires be they religious or political. Real freedom lies within a person. Freedom, therefore, becomes the feeling that you are free. It is not a belief, it is a feeling. 'Freedom' in the controllers' minds is a fake. If they have you in their control, you are not 'free'. The game (I use that word advisedly) is to be as less controlled (realistically) as is possible. For a greater number of people this is not possible because of the design of your life by controllers. You are told that you are born in a certain 'country' and that you have the 'nationality' of that country. You are told that so-and-so is the prime minister, king/queeen, or whatever controlling regime is present at your birth. This means, according to them, you are 'one-of-them'. Some sick people even mutilate your body to make this so (circumcision, for example). Yes, I know 'primitive' peoples perform these mutilations but that is no excuse for anything. They are all aware of what they are doing for whatever their reasons. You are therefore born a serf to some-one. You are inculcated (without your permission) into the rites of their religious practices and 'baptised' or 'christened' or what-not. So you become a serf of a country you might decide you do not like, or a religion which appals you later on but it seems you are stuck with your birth-rite. However, as far as I am concerned, I am a person who was born in a particular part of the planet. I have no allegiance to anyone, religious, political or otherwise. Allegiance is not a 'right', it is a fact of serious thinking. It is perfectly fine to associate yourself with a group if that is your desire. It is not fine to be labelled something without your consent (which usually means the new-born). The world as created by controllers, is a shambles. ALL controllers are a shambles; the anathema of the 'ordinary' people. NONE of them have any saving graces. The world has been created on lies and deceit for control by a few. Yes, these people may afford a controlling army but only upon the backs of the 'ordinary' people who actually do any work. These people are too naiive and too busy to see that they are manipulated from Day One. I may be a very rare person, I don't know. Maybe I am wrong and everything is hunky-dory. I can't see it myself but maybe I am 'sick' or something. I just could never get to grips with the notion of flag-waving for 'Empire Day' at school when I was very little (and Britain still had an 'empire'). It just did not enamour me. They call people like me an Outsider (proper noun, so I'm labelled). There are many, many others. I read their books, Camus, Kafka, Solzhenitsyn, Colin Wilson, Jean Genet, Hermann Hesse,  Barbusse, Orwell, Asimow, Lyall Watson, Simak and tens of others. Some of the controllers have notice of these as well, be sure of that, except they use these people for their knowledge  to control. These same controllers with their endless/senseless 'mind' games (which is all they have to contribute) have re-written any history there may have been by contemporaries of the period in which they lived as in Orwell's 1984 Ministry of Truth. Truth, of course, is furthest from their 'minds'. (I put 'mind' in quotes because I am not sure there is a mind to consider but I could be wrong?) Real truths are only available to the 'ordinary' people who live closest to nature which provides their basic needs. So, what are we to do? It is up to the individual and how he/she sees their life. We have been constrained by the notion that if we borrow money, we must pay it back with interest. Profit is the key to our survival. No. Profit is the key to others who control you. They manipulate 'interest' rates. The rate of 'interest' determines your future to pay back the debt. That is the controlled Banking System. Let us face it; if you can't pay back a debt, then you are not in control. You have little survival value. It matters not a jot whether it is a fishing boat or a house. Man is often tempted by greed. Greed is a personal game played to achieve more than you have on hand; thus betting on a fly climbing up a wall in real-time. Fun, maybe, but not a way to live a self-fulfilling life of independence of total survival. Game within game. Greed leads to ruin of the finances and the 'soul' The 'soul' is the totality of a person. Greed is counter-productive. In the end it leads to what we call bankruptcy; the inability to pay debts. Debts are usually monetary by today's standards. The controllers have made it possible to be both financially and morally bankrupt. They have you in their power until they also go bankrupt because they have been too greedy and no-one can pay their debts. What do they do then? I am still asking and getting no answers, even from the financial pundits who claim to know all. I don't understand finance at these 'people's' level and I don't want to. I just want a quiet life of my own. A financial life is a life of misery. There is no happiness. There is no looking at butterflies and marvelling at their beauty. You need to get out of your debt to these controllers as fast as possible, whatever the immediate consequences. Do not become a slave to debt. My friends, you have been conned all your life. You have listened to the controller's 'fine' words and believed them. It's time to take control of your life. It's up to you only. As I keep saying: It's only you in your head. Your choice, your responsibility. Forget what everyone else is saying but read them all (pro and con) and make up your own mind. Peace. 23rd, August, 2008
