Now this is where it gets tricky. The thing is, there are many facets of your societies that need addressing but all of those facets can be placed into two simple categories, the first is spiritual and the second, socioeconomic; understand that and you will understand everything else, it really is that easy.”
“Okay then, go on.”
“Spiritually speaking, you are all one, we are all one, that is why that divide and conquer tactic is so powerful, it keeps people from connecting with one another, it keeps people from working together towards a common goal, externalising resolution instead of internalising that resolution within the human psyche, within the collective consciousness that is humanity where all of what you need will be found instead of seeking that external resolution in the form of legislation that is then enforced, to the detriment of either side by your governments courts.”
“Okay.”
“Take racism, for example, if left alone, the human spirit would entertain very little of what is going on between its races but as it is, race is a demonstrably bitter issue, even within seemingly civilised nations, which is in stark contradiction to the term, civility.”
“Okay.”
‘Which is the thing, racism is an issue that is pushed and pushed, first one way, then the other, back and forth, people riding bandwagons, not realizing that much of their reasoning is not their own, that a shift in polarity simply sees them moving with the masses that are driven by those externalised dictates but, if left to their own devices most people wouldn’t think twice about the matter or race, it is just not human nature.”
“As in children who’re left to grow on their own, they never seem to mind who is who so long as everyone is accepted and any squabbling tends to be for just about any other reason.”
“That is exactly it. No one grows from the bones of their youth harbouring that sort of prejudice, many of a child’s prejudices are learnt, externalised teachings that are not innate within a child’s psyche.”
“Okay.”
“This is the thing, regardless of how it all came about, we are stuck with that notion that sees us wanting to champion issues like race as if we are those social superheroes that are there to right all of those wrongs not ever realizing that, whether you like racism or dislike racism, racism is the thesis of your argument and why the issue of race will persist and will continue to persist so as long as racism is your own personal staypoint.”
“And why there is no legislating our way forward because, so long as we have legislation in place to protect those who need protecting, racism will always be our own personal, staypoint, as you put it.”
“And why championing any cause will only keep that cause alive so we may never find peace within our own lives.”
“So, all of those champions out there championing those causes, after a certain point, aren’t championing those causes so much as they are internalising that cause as a seemingly intrinsic part of their own identity.”
“Yes. Exactly. Once an issue is raised and enough awareness is cast upon that issue is it then that we understand the need for change and begin to make that change, after which, change must then be allowed to run its natural course and not held in check because those pushing for that change have anchored their identity within someone else’s cause for reasons of their own, which are not as selfless as they may initially seem but, ultimately, selfish.”
“Okay.”
“Though this is something we do on just about every human front imaginable, we hold onto our cause as if it is who we are and why there is never going to be an end to whatever it is we are fighting, because we identify so heavily in that fight that an end in any form would mean an end to not only who we are but, an end to our reason for being.”
“Which is where unity comes in.”
“Yes. The oneness of life. The great unseen. That which binds us all together in one contextual energy field.”
“As in, we are all one, quite literally.”
“Yes. Exactly. If we understood that we are all one then we would put an end to human suffering and never again allow ourselves to be divided on the topic of race or any other topic that keeps us from indulging in the diversity of life from within our human cultures.”
“Still, understanding that in intellectual terms is one thing but understanding that in terms of emotion is another thing altogether.”
“Look, from where it is you are, almost everything stems from an intellectual understanding which often, but not always, begins with an intuition, which without, would leave you fumbling around in the dark but such is the human psyche with the way it is, that your emotional understanding is almost always discarded without the empirical evidence to back up your intuitions.”
“As in, nothing means nothing without the intellectual evidence necessary to make that emotional justification.”
“More or less. Though our intuitions do lead us forward, albeit slowly, it is a shame that it takes us so long.”
“So, when it comes to this oneness that you mentioned, what do we have as far as intellectual evidence, if anything at all?”
“Again, take human sciences, for example, in a nutshell, everything we see is oscillating at a rate of vibration which gives matter the illusion of solidity but what we know about matter, due to matter’s atomic and subatomic structures, is that there is more space between any given matter than there is actual matter, so whatever it is that is flowing through space is in fact binding all matter, both seemingly inert and that which is in motion, both the table and the chair and both you and me, together as one, regardless of outward appearances.”
“Okay.”
“It does not matter who it is we are, all of those unresolved dualities, both men and women, both cat and dog, however many skin colours there are out there, religions, genders, all of it, black and white, Christians and Muslims, every single one of us, despite our socioeconomics conditions, obscene affluence or abject poverty, are all one, not one of us are individuals so much as we are individuations, of that one whole, that is the source of all life. End of argument.”
“So that means we ceases to exist as individuals as we know ourselves individually but at the same time, we will always retain our individuality.”
“Essentially. Yes.”
“Okay.”
“What you have to understand is that people will always be people and, for whatever reason, there will always be a sense of conflict in people lives, after all, this is a duality so conflict is as much a part of of life as life itself, conflict will always reside, what is important is not the conflict but how that conflict is resolved for it is conflict, the healthy resolution of conflict, that enables growth within what is, this duality, and it is from within that healthy resolution that the human species will eventually transcend its dualistic confrontations, so we need to embrace conflict as much as we seemingly embrace love and let life simply be and live that way forward.”
“I’m guessing this is where you tell me that much of the conflict within human societies is a result of the agenda stirring up what they can so we are not living with that sense of resolution but instead living at each other’s throats.”
“As I said, poverty is a prerequisite for war, spiritually, as in, the division of mankind and socioeconomically, where you have this artificially created socioeconomic paradigm that indebts your children before the day they are born which creates what is the perceived lack of material wealth in your world, a lack that sees people and people alike pitched against one another in that never ending battle for what it is neither side ultimately has.”
“Which is the thing, most people live without the means or ability to afford their own time, so their lives are not their own, even if they lived humble lives, they still would be enslaved and left paying rent on the land on which they live.”
“Well, this is the other thing I mentioned earlier, about socioeconomics and how that is the second largest problem on the planet.”
“Go on.”
“Our lives in that respect are a screwed up mess and what is worse, we have not even come close to understanding the nature of the problem, not as a species as a whole.”
“Okay.”
“The problem is, we see our governments and our banks as authoritative paradigms that can more or less be trusted, despite our overall mistrust in those very same paradigms and it is largely that way around because, challenging the system itself, requires a level of thinking that is beyond most people’s capacity to understand life on a deeper level.”
“Why are we not able to see the forest for the trees if it is that obvious?”
“Because you, because we as a species, have been conditioned to think the way we think.”
“Is it really as simple as that?”
“Yes.
“Are we really that gullible?”
“Yes. We are. Take for example, fractional reserve banking, the concept where a customer walks into a bank with a deposit for a mortgage, ultimately the fraction that will then be held in reserve, where the bank is then legally by law, allowed to write up the rest of that mortgage on paper based on that reserve, as in, the bank is not even required to be holding that money in its vaults in order to create a system where you then, willingly, agree to fork over money as well as the interest on money you never borrowed, for the term of that mortgage. Then continually inflating prices see prices rise and rise again to the point where the banking institution is able to leverage you and your time, effectively cutting your life short by confining you to your job for what little time you have to live and nobody asks any questions, nobody knows any different and why they willingly play along as if it is life in all normality.”
“So, we’re simply signing a contract to give the bank money for say, twenty-five years, enslaving ourselves through our own ignorance?”
“Yes. Though, this is just at the level of the individual, when we are talking at the level of a country, it is these world banks on a global scale that loan a country its money then charge that country interest on the principal borrowed, leaving that country without the means to create the necessary money to pay off the interest since that country has signed an agreement, that its own central bank, is prohibited from printing what money it needs to stay afloat and why the world’s economies are a sinking ship.”
“Surely we’re not that blind, are we?”
“Let me ask you this then: has national debt ever been paid off?”
“Well no, but why would a country do that, I mean, borrow in that manner then render itself unable to pay off what can only be described as an assumed debt? Why don’t those countries simply resort to their own central banks, surely they’re big enough to take care of themselves, like, if a country told a central bank that it wasn’t going to play along anymore, what could that bank do, especially if the system itself is nothing but a system of perpetual debt, it would hardly be unethical, sacking those slave masters, so to speak.”
“If a country resorted to its own central bank then it would be the exact same scenario except that country would then be doing that to itself. Though, not only that, governments know exactly what they are doing and are simply playing their part in all of this at the behest of their masters. What you need to understand is that, things are the way they are by design, things are not the way they are not by default, because governments know no better.”
“Not all countries though?”
“Show me a country that has paid off its national debt and I will show a country that has a functioning economy.”
“And I’m guessing it gets worse.”
“If you can convince a man that he is free when he is in fact a slave in every facet of his being, then you can convince a man of absolutely anything.”
