Odd though it sounds, another of our self-inflicted
misfortunes was to apathetically allow civilization as a way of life to be
foisted upon us. Yes we know that it happened back in the mists of time. But
our belief in Reincarnation compels us to admit that we all were there and
allowed it to happen, just as we always will allow things to happen until each
of us boosts our value of self. But where would we be without civilizations you
may ask? The most probable answer is that most of us would exist in caves or
crude hand-made shanties, and would somehow survive (or not) by our individual
efforts.
This is noticeably similar to the existence of those,
dumped by the system, and who now exist in cardboard cartons under cave-like
railway arches. Many of this growing population of unfortunate people are
neither winos, nor drug addicts, nor do they believe that the world owes them a
living. In fact probably their sole contribution to their ongoing predicament
was to trust a system that has little or no time for human beings.
The problem isn’t the existence of civilizations the
problem is the herd-like fear-based apathy of civilization’s billions of
members. As a result we allow ourselves to be convinced that we need leaders to
tell us what to do. We then blame our leaders when the long, ruthless scrabble
of would-be leaders to gain and keep the leadership destroys most of the high
principles the leaders may once have had. We again blame our leaders because
once in power they realize that they in turn are helpless because they are led
by national and international powerful vested interests.
These hidden leaders of leaders are remote businessmen
and remote investors who no longer think just in terms of a decently earned
yearly profit that keeps pace with inflation. Now business success means that
the growth of profits must continuously accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate.
This same principle (?) applies whether the commodity
happens to be luxury items or your basic supply of gas, electricity, water, or
telephone service to your home, or a vehicle and fuel supply to get to work.
All of these manipulative people that we have mentioned are trapped by a system
that existed long before they were born. We are all trapped by the same
fear-based system, and we all continuously go along to add our fears to the
fears of the crowd.
Before we criticize others for their fear-filled
greed, just think of how we all (including New-age enlightened folks!) react to
the news of imminent industrial strike action by the bakers, or by the drivers
of motor fuel delivery tankers. Suddenly the veneer of civilization falls apart
as its individual members scrabble to strip the supermarket shelves of every
trace of bread, flour, and yeast. Every service station is sucked dry as
individuals impatiently queue to fill to the brim, fuel tanks, five gallon
jerry-cans and anything else that would hold some more motor fuel.
The first in the queues think, “Too bad about the
rest, I’ve got a family to feed and support and a job to travel to.” Only those
who arrive too late think, “How selfish people are to hoard.” But we all take
it in turn to hoard or to complain because we were too late and must go
without. From a child’s first infants school sports day race he or she is
taught to compete. This is the day when every child learns that no one is
really interested in the many gallant losers, because it is the winner who
receives the praise. More to the point, it is only the winner who receives the
prize. This sets the pattern that will mould the child’s determined usefulness
to a long established inhuman system. We describe it as inhuman because it is
as if we all are compelled to exist and try to be, humans that care, whilst
also we all try to fit inside a huge, intricate, mindless machine.
The machine is man made, and has many parts that
blindly and continuously move in every direction. If our ancestors were strong
and fortunate they found and then received for self and their fortunate heirs,
great benefits from the machine. But also they took and kept most of the spaces
into which the machine parts never move. Any benefits and spaces that were left
became the sought-after prizes in a ruthless competition to ride successfully
on the parts that do move. If you are strong you will have a successful but
hectic ride, until your strength wanes. Then the machine will cast you away
because the machine didn’t even realize or care that you were there.
Why has a system, been allowed to become blind and
inhuman that was originally designed to benefit every human weak or strong? At
least, for our benefit is what our leaders have always implied to us. The
system has become blind and inhuman because we allow it to function without our
human guidance. When we say “We” we mean everyone without exception.
In these latter years we all have read ‘New-Age’ books
that reveal the manipulative selfishness of the hidden and powerful few who
manipulate and tightly circumscribe the powers of national leaders. Sadly no
one seems to publish books about the billions of power-filled people that say
nothing and allow the few to get away with it. Public opinion is a very
powerful tool. It is a tool that up to now mostly is only used, or rather
abused, by the system’s professional manipulators. These cleverly manipulate the
flocks of sheep-like minds that easily feel fear or comfort but seldom feel it
is their own role to clearly think beyond their own personal and immediate
needs.
As a result the media ensures that any protest group
will be made to appear silly and odd until the growth of power of the group can
no longer be ignored. Only then does it become fashionable and sound business
policy to loudly give lip-service support to the protest group. Of whom does
the original protest group consist? Mainly it consists of a few courageous individuals
that refused to be led by their own early conditioning of fear-based
selfishness that without exception we all receive. Instead these few used clear
thought to empower themselves despite their personal fears and worries. This is
no different to the hidden few, who use clear thought to manipulate the minds
of others. The only differences are the motives behind the manipulations.
Again and again ‘New-Age’ thought urges us all
individually to empower self, to place a far higher value on our thoughts,
ideas, and opinions, regardless of the judgments of others. Individually each
of us is a potential future God in our own right. So let’s all start right here
and now to act as if we believe that this is a fact. Let each of us put this belief
into real-life practice.
Public opinion is a vast irresistible tool that is
used to guide the direction of the machine that is the system. Public opinion
based in manipulated fear is a tool used to benefit the few. Public opinion
firmly based in the clear thought of each individual that makes up that public
will first and foremost benefit that public. Only then will we see the leaders
of civilizations begin to genuinely work for the benefit of the planet and for
everyone, not just to work for the strong. The international few have never
felt the personal need keep to national boundaries, but cleverly they taught us
all to feel this need. As a result of our fears we all dearly paid, and paid,
and paid, for world wars, that culminated in the use of nuclear weapons. This
continued in a deliberately divided world until an elder statesman warned us of
the endless planetary nuclear winter that would follow massive use of these
vile weapons. Then we all paid again to have the bombs dismantled.
Regardless of the talents of those brilliant brains
that split the atom to save us from our current enemies (?) and to offer all of
us the cheapest (?) cleanest (?) ever electricity. Regardless of brains of
similar brilliance that sent a manned rocket to the moon and endowed us all
with non-stick frying pans etc. Regardless of all of these we now all face a
poisoned, overheated planet. Meanwhile the latest big potential money-spinner
for the hidden few is research into genetic manipulation. This has to include
the highly invested, expensive technology that enables this research to be
done. In this way any talented scientist who requires research funds will only
receive them if the research in some way aids the latest money-spinner.
There is a problem with the ‘latest’ anything. The
problem is that despite previous official, authoritative,
self-confidence-filled public statements to the contrary, no one really knows
if the ‘latest’ will later have to be returned to the factory to cure
unpredicted faults. This may be acceptable if it is the latest automobile. But
it may be unacceptable and impossible in the god-like world of spliced DNA
strands demanded by the hidden few. Billions of self-devalued people cringe at
the thought of a world unintentionally, negatively altered beyond all
recognition by brilliant men pressurized by the ongoing demands of their
paymasters for profitable spin-offs. Those billions of people cringe but they
don’t do nor say anything about it, except to each other.
Now we have mentioned automobiles let’s think about
them, because regardless of our spiritual and ecological beliefs we all have to
exist and survive in a competitive world. To survive we have to work, and for
many, affordable public transport no longer exists, and so a vehicle is a must.
For all concerned except the owner, each vehicle itself becomes an ongoing
source of income, Bank loan interest, tax revenue on petrol or diesel, Road
taxes and so on, and on, and on in an ever upward spiral. But the horse-less
carriages of yesteryear and the latest models at the latest prestigious Motor
Show all continue to share one thing in common. They all pumped and continue to
pump poisonous gases and extra heat into the atmosphere of the planet.
Originally the horse-less carriages were divided into
those driven by crude, petrol internal combustion engines, and those driven by
crude steam engines, the early models of both generated little speed, and huge
amounts of mirth. But by the mid-nineteen twenties, IC engines and steam
engines matched each other for sophistication, power and speed, and either
power source would fit into the same streamlined family motor car. Both petrol
and steam powered types in 1927 raced each other at speeds of +70mph at
Silverstone Racetrack. The steam-driven engine would take you from
Today at the motor shows, as a (lip-service to
ecology) curiosity, tucked between the +200 MPH double airbag, fuel injection
models is displayed the latest (prototype only, you must understand?) electric
car. The ecological car of the future, but it is never genuinely intended to be
the mass-produced runabout of today. It would be far too expensive to be
commercially viable.
All of the tired old excuses trotted out every year,
and no one says anything except a few that are firmly labeled by national media
as, ecological nuts. Probably the public of our ancestors’ time was expected to
wring hands together in anguish at the unemployment the nutty cry for the
abolishment of the slave trade would cause. How many more generations of
improved smog mask designs must town dwellers wear before they realize that
only each of us can change things for the better? No one will do it for us, why
should they? They’re onto a good thing already.
Loudly beaten 40-gallon drums and the black smoke of
motor tire bonfires, the banners carried by processions and the endless
petitions of never-read, totally ignored signatures. All of these are regarded
by the protester’s current target as the harmless release of mob-mind energy,
with the police paid and expected to take the blows and clear up the mess.
So if you want change you’ll have to
clearly state what you want changed.
You bypass mob and police action if you write and send
simple letters, and you tell all of your friends what you are doing. If they
want to join you or help you with funding that’s great, but the important thing
is to do it anyway. Or join someone who is doing it already, but don’t wait for others, because that is how we all first got into
this mess.
Let us give you an example to illustrate what we mean.
When countless members of Amnesty International write letters to dictators and
secret police chiefs for the release or fair trial of political prisoners, they
all write as private individuals and they never expect to receive replies. Eventually
all of those individually written and sent letters have a cumulative but never
publicly admitted effect. The effect is to continuously spotlight the dubious actions
of the target. Very quickly the desired result is achieved because dubious
actions require furtive darkness amid public apathy and so they and determined
spotlights cannot co-exist. Exactly the same applies if we are to gain a
better, fairer, cleaner world. The clear thought that guides your pen is mightier than the fear and
anger-filled emotion that loudly and pointlessly beats a 40-gallon oil drum.
Physical existence may not be our promised ultimate paradise. But for now it’s
all we’ve got, so why should we continue to allow a self-empowered selfish few
to make mankind feel just like….
