If an object has value, currently, it’s value is made up based on various calculations and inflations governed by laws and allowances for profit. But, as with any system, after enough time, the users begin to see the loopholes in the system and the value of the item becomes undermined while the price incrementally gets pushed upward, seeking higher profit margins. Ownership essentially devalues...
how should global changes be made?
There are two main categories of change
Fundamental changes are a massive shift, from one state to another
Detailed changes are the incremental steps involved in fundamental change
Global Change is achieved by mapping the Fundamental Current State, implementing a first step, and then constantly guiding towards the Fundamental Desired State through a series of Detailed, Methodical Changes to...
there is a lie in every truth, and a truth in every lie… it changes
and so i adhere to no truth, and i adhere to no lie… i adhere to change,
change can be chosen
change is mine to take and make with what i will
if i alone change, my world has changed
if we all change, the world has changed
and it will, whether we choose or not
but the choice is there
so forget truth, or lies…. choose...

sometimes, silence is salvation, but that silence...
the mechanical drip of drops into pools of gathered earth and blood.
the leaky machine touches gently its oily mark onto trees, beaten to a pulp, poisones and preserved.
the neglected machine, protesting, shut-down, overhauled and run again,
to print the value of destruction, giving price to slavery and elements, moulded into our image of neccesity
under the old government, man exploited man, but since the revolution, it’s the other way round.
the question is not 'can we change?', it's can we...
there is a distinct correlation between choice and change, the correlation is shown in the variable effects of a choice and it’s subsequent change. the cause is what determines the need for choice, and is itself the effect of a preceding chain of cause, choice, change and effect. the cycle is not static, or choice could not exist, each choice is vital to change. we have our causes,...

in the flames we purge pain, merge loss and gain,...
the keys to freedom lie
in hands too broken to turn them
in minds too frightened to learn them
in hearts too frozen to affirm them
and the slave numbers grow
and the cage grows smaller
and the less slaves will know
and the the cage grows smaller
but luck must hold
and truth be told
and change will come
like a forgotten sun
shine on bright ones
illuminate the dark of unknown
and seek...
the common denominator
is not blood
is not ethics
is not morals
is not civilisation
is not nationality
is not religion
it is money
none of us are wealthy
we are the 99.999%
and we are ALL poor
and we are ALL sick of it
everything about ALL our lives screams desperately for release
the bonds will break soon, and the 99 must prevail
the point is to have fun
technically, nothing else matters. and you have to have fun, even if everything actually sucks. actually, you have to have fun BECAUSE everything sucks.
the alternative, is to not have fun, and then, seriously, what is the point?
fun
and if you feel like you shouldn’t be having fun while millions starve, then have fun while feeding millions, but don’t stop having fun.

Anonymous asked: Hi Rob, if it were all free then this would enable me to encourage, within a community with open hearts and minds to explore the boundaries of the Human being, within and without, through conciousness and the physical universe to advance further. Human kind could truly advance magnificently under such circumstances. The trouble is after my awakening i look around and dont see others following,...

What I meant was getting enough people to believe in themselves and find the truth of their own existence. Most of what leads us down this path of corruption is control over others, but if people took control of their own lives.. People want good.

To inspire people like me? :)
as long as my friendlyneighbourhoodpsycho is inspired, how can anything be wrong :)
indeed, it is very much about inspiring people, but i wish there was more doing and less thinking, it’s thinking that’s gotten me so frustrated. i’m feeling it’s time for action,...

Hehe. :) Your thoughts are not irrational, not one bit. I wish I could give you more than these simple words. Your intentions are what inspire others to help, and with enough people we can make a difference, for you, for everyone.

To make a better place for our children. We must try while we can.
hmmm. and my inner rebel screams, “I don’t have kids. I don’t want kids! There are already too many! Now I have to fix things for other people’s kids? And they’re only going to suffer more, because no matter how hard i try, I...
what's the point?
if i try to make a difference, i’m told i have a superiority complex, if i sit back and do nothing, i’m doing what i hate about the world.
i watch the world fall apart, and even in my own quiet valley, the ignorance about everything is staggering. if i point out ignorance, i’m accused of being a racist, as if ignorance is skin deep. the system has a hold so deeply ingrained in...

we continuously mouth our objections and our revolt against the status quo individually, but we feed the status quo collectively. if we realize our individual responsibilities to life, we must not only live up to it as individuals, but remember the collective form of life, and more than anything else it is one for all and all for one.

dont let the perception of lies become your truth....
when we take things at face value, we accept all inherent lies without question. when we question, we seek not the truth, but a means to seperate truth from the lie. and when we have truth, we must still question, for ours is an emergent univers.e change is the only truths
have your world rocked, at least once a day
and since no-one knows you better than you, rock it yourself!
choose your path
there are an infinite number of paths leading to and from each choice. and each choice leads to a further infinite number of choices not dissimilar to fractal mathematics.
if you survey all the paths to and from each choice, past, present or future, you can make the choices you need to follow your own path.
it’s all relative, and everything is possible.

observedintoexistence answered your question: okay, so there’s a third option with the free will/destiny debate… random?
The truth.
ah, but the truth is a matter of perception, and that perception is manipulable, which means that truth is manipulable, which means that it’s about choice, which points at free will, unless you are God, then it points to both destiny and free will,...

i’ve finally been convinced to accept that the theory that everything is entirely random is in fact a valid possibility. and it is my own reasoning that was used against me… the indignity of it all!

Mosquitos seriously test the Buddhist in me
i dunno so much about hope, it’s always made me feel kinda lazy, like i should be doing something instead of sitting around hoping, kinda like prayer when i got old enough to ask questions.
faith must be nice, that warm blanket of illusions about a bright future, if only we have faith and pray, or hope that others, those who have shown themselves capable of atrocities, will relent. but...

where do you go when nowhere is safe?
being off-grid has one major drawback, namely, if you are not part of a cohesive intentional community, you do not have the protection of the system. here in port st john’s, on the wild coast of south africa, in a predominantly rural area, i had hoped that the tranquility could remain forever, but, as the saying goes, evil never rests. since the 1st of December, there has been a decided...

the frustration of knowing you know not, but not knowing what it is you do not know
here, where the stars light up the sky with vivid points of history, i have the chance to think, not out, but in. i have had the chance all my life, and i only now see that it was my choice to stay closed to myself, to stop myself from looking too deeply. a choice made in fear, fear that what i would find was a simple empty husk, devoid of meaning, tasked with nothing. a senseless fear, based on...

glad you are back :)
it’s nice to be back, have so much posting to catch up on :)
when the universe speaks, do we listen?
rarely… and when we do, we misinterpret what was said into the strangest things
but then how do we hear the universe?
it’s nothing esoteric, or remarkably spiritual, but if you simply listen, you will hear it. your universe is speaking to you right now,and now, and now, in fact, the world of sound never ceases.

From "The Egg" by Andy Weir
GOD: “The meaning of life, the reason I made this whole universe, is for you to mature.”
YOU: “You mean mankind? You want us to mature?”
GOD: “No, just you. I made this whole universe for you. With each new life you grow and mature and become a larger and greater intellect.”
YOU: “Just me? What about everyone else?”
GOD: “There is no one else. In this universe, there’s just you and me.”
YOU: “But all the people on earth…”
GOD: “All you. Different incarnations of you.”
YOU: “Wait. I’m everyone!?”
GOD: “Now you’re getting it,”
YOU: “I’m every human being who ever lived?”
GOD: “Or who will ever live, yes.”
YOU: “I’m Abraham Lincoln?”
GOD: “And you’re John Wilkes Booth, too,”
YOU: “I’m Hitler?”
GOD: “And you’re the millions he killed.”
YOU: “I’m Jesus?”
GOD: “And you’re everyone who followed him."

GOD: “Every time you victimized someone, you were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you’ve done, you’ve done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you.”
