There is Always a Price to Pay, Basic Income Guarantee is a Step Forward– Day 322



When we say there will be a price to pay, what we are saying is that there will be a consequence for our actions, individually and globally. Unfortunately, we are not taught this in a direct and common sensical way within our youth, yes it is spoken, but it is hardly ever lived. We see the forest being cut down, the people starving in pictures, the women being stoned, the animals with there tusks cut off, over and over and over again we see the horror of this world, but we don’t have any real recognition that this is our consequence, this is real, and this is what we have to face sooner now more then ever. So we follow suit like everyone else in this world, no action, no plan, feeling powerless, and the consequence of these inactions currently is a decaying environment, destructive people, disregard for animal and plant life, and a ruthless existence. We have made the very life that is here, that we need to survive on this planet a commodity, to be harnessed, used, and sold for a piece of paper, no matter the consequential effects it will have on life as we know it and this not in a positive way.

Today, I have read some disturbing stories of consequence, the death of 37 million bees in Canada, “Shortly after 50,000 bees were found dead in an Oregon parking lot (read more here), a staggering 37 million bees have been found dead in Elmwood, Ontario, Canada. Dave Schuit, who runs a honey operation in Elmwood has lost 600 hives. He is pointing the finger at the insecticides known as neonicotinoids, which are manufactured by Bayer CropScience Inc. This also comes after a recent report released by the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) that recorded its largest loss of honeybees ever.” (Source: http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/07/01/over-30-million-bees-found-dead-in-elmwood-canada/)

Also, there was a story of a famous clothes brand in America, contaminating and destroying an Indonesia waterway due to their chemical dyes for clothes, “Gap’s latest advertising campaign declares that we should ‘Be Bright,’ but by collaborating with toxic suppliers Gap’s clothes are turning the Citarum into a multicoloured mess," says Ashov Birry, a toxic-free water campaigner for Greenpeace Southeast Asia, in a statement. "Gap and other big brands need to work with their suppliers in Indonesia and elsewhere to urgently eliminate all uses of hazardous chemicals from their supply chains and products before it is too late." (Source: http://www.ecouterre.com/gap-banana-republic-old-navy-linked-to-toxic-river-pollution-in-indonesia/greenpeace-river-pollution-west-java-2/?extend=1)

These two examples are just a few of the millions of stories we can gather of this simple principle of ‘do onto others as you would do to yourself’ not being followed, and yes, we currently live in this world and need to survive, buy stuff, and eat for instance, but the exponential abuse is due to exponential consumerism, we don’t need in anyway all the waste stuff we are creating and increasingly we are using more and more of the earths resources destructively to get them. We as the consumer are creating these very consequential outflows, that eventually will come to bite us in our asses. I mean it already has, if the bees dying off in the millions is not a huge red flag then I don’t know what is.

There are solutions here, please investigate the Equal LifeFoundation’s Bill of Rights and the Basic Income Guarantee, which will create the starting point platform for the change that is so desperately needed. This change is the change of our intent in this world from greed and profit to caring for others and supporting others equal to yourself, always considering the other equal to you. The point we have to get to is to understand and live an equality with life, with our environment, with the animals, with nature, with each other, and within this world system.  We are living in a closed system meaning if one suffer we all suffer, and  it will be a slow but certain point of death for us all if we don’t get a handle on what we are doing, what we are consuming, what we are taking, and who we are effecting. It’s a self process of realizing a stability within self and a will to direct self in what is best for all, this is based on and lived within equality and oneness. We have to change the within of ourselves to change the without of this world, it always start with who we are to determine what we will live. Study the links and comment with any questions or feedback, it’s time for a change and The basic income guarantee is a practical step forward.

The Happy Human and Our Superficial Escape – Day 317

So in my last blog I looked at the word superficiality on a more individual level, here I will be looking at the consequence of superficiality through the more global platform and the effect it has on nature, our environment, and ourselves. Superficiality by definition through dictionary.com means:

su·per·fi·cial  
adj.
1. Of, affecting, or being on or near the surface: a superficial wound.
2. Concerned with or comprehending only what is apparent or obvious; shallow.
3. Apparent rather than actual or substantial: a superficial resemblance.
4. Trivial; insignificant:

We on a global level participate and thus agree on this capitalistic system, which is kept going based on the superficiality of the consumer, equaling the human, this is not good because there are innumerable amounts of death and suffering to humans, animals, and nature.  The superficiality of the human being only cares about there own self interest, and we can see this as evidence within our world through the continents of people suffering of starvation, hunger, extreme poverty, war, genocide, and many other atrocious acts of crimes against life that is all being done in front of our faces, but we don't want to do anything about it because we allow self interest or superficiality to distract us.

This is a willed action, we all know what is here, we all see the diminishment of our society, security, and living standards no matter what bracket of living you fall under, but those with money can use it to deny, look away, become distracted by superficial means and thus not have to change. We like to care more about celebrities then the children in this world suffering and dying on a day to day basis. This a top news story today on the DailyMail website, "'OMG, it's William and Harry!' Excited Royal fan is almost overcome after she snaps princes at charity polo match" with a picture of the two 'princes' smirking at the fan, and we as humanity like to say ‘we have evolved’ and ‘we are an intelligent race’, but given the true evidence of our actual world, the actual way in which all parts of society are living, it is the stark opposite. We are cruel, ignorant, and ruthless beings, and use the excuse of shallowness as superficial distractions to continue on our drive only to care about 'me'.

Superficiality in this world today is basically our consumerism market, the beauty image, the love image, the traveling image, the high tech image, the sexy image, the athletic image, the skinny image, the stylish image, all these images selling a feeling and experience that pulls on the human’s desire strings to think ‘oh, if I have those shoes then I will be sexy!’ or ‘oh, if I have that tennis racquet, I will be the best tennis player!’ or ‘oh, if I go to that place, I will be so peaceful’ or ‘oh, if I get that phone then I will be the coolest!’, where the marketing and advertising industries of this world deliberately create a desire for more within the viewer as they know that the human will fall for the experience rather then the actual fact of where this product is coming from, how in fact it is created, and what life it is effecting. (Recommend watch for Psychological Manipulation and Consumerism - The Century of the Self)  

Thus through the guise of superficiality we are accepting and allowing ourselves to not care about the countless lives that are being effected because they have to slave to survive. Here we have the pope saying, "Living on 38 euros ($50) a month - that was the pay of these people who died (He is speaking about the recent factory collapse in Bangladesh), that is called slave labor. How many brothers and sisters in the world are in this situation because of these economic, social and political policies? Social, political and economic systems have made a choice that signifies exploiting the individual. Work is fundamental to the dignity of a person. I think of how many, and not just young people, are unemployed, many times due to a purely economic conception of society, which seeks selfish profit, beyond the parameters of social justice. " (Source: http://money.msn.com/now/post.aspx?post=1a685537-b674-462d-9189-21772d2f4be4)

So here within the pope's words, he is recognizing the fact that the slave labor in this world is obviously a crime against humanity, and he is also recognizing that the cause of slave labor in this world and reality is our global economic system and policies we have in place within the structure of the capitalism system of the premise of 'survival of the fittest'.  And so yes, I agree with him on these points - the slave labor in this world is unacceptable and the cause of this inequality is our money system, the problem where I am seeing is the superficiality of these words he speaks and thus he represents within the catholic church. The church claims to be the number one charity giver in the world, so thus the next obvious question is why have they not been leaders in this point of equal rights for all through a system change to be fair and make sure all are supported. The church alone has billions of dollars they have accumulated over the centuries and yet have made no significant change in the living conditions in this world, but actually stood to perpetuate the problem. If they where serious about this change, they would have realized the common sense in that charity as a solution is not working, and so would stand as a leader for what is being proposed by the equal money system. Ending slave labor and all violations to life is not rocket science, it takes common sense reasoning and practical real world problem solving to do, but to the superficial mind as human, it is not even a second thought. 

So when looking at what you have and desiring more, and within this using excuses and justification within a superficial starting point, consider for a moment yourself in the other persons shoes, the person who has nothing and has to work in horrendous conditions and for inhuman hours, and see that we need a change, a solution that will bring about a real change and a world that is indeed best for all.

Here is some Facts to help you see what is here as slave labor conditions:


- In 2007, a case of crucifixes purchased by St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York were traced back to a factory in China where girls as young as 15 were forced to work up to 19-hour days, seven days a week to manufacture the religious items. Today, Christian items from bible covers to t-shirts are being made in factories which abuse and traffic workers.

- Slavery in the strawberry harvesting industry happens around the world. In one case in the U.S. last year, thirty Mexican workers were enslaved harvesting strawberries in Louisiana.

-In Malawi, 78,000 children, some as young as five, work 12-hour days to produce cigarettes
.
-Those Christmas decorations from Walmart? Twelve year olds working 100 hour weeks in China for less than half of even their paltry minimum wage!

-That shimmer in your eye shadow? It is a mineral called mica. Much of the world’s mica comes from India, where children as young as six labor long and hard for a single meal of rice. Their labor is what fuels the Western cosmetic industry.

-A 7-year-old boy works all day, every day, in a balloon factory in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. He and 19 other children work 12-hour days, 7 days a week, for about $2.14 per week.
(Fact Source: http://fightslaverynow.wordpress.com/why-fight-there-are-27-million-reasons/labortrafficking/products-of-slave-labor/)

Documentaries on effects of Consumerism and Superficiality I suggest to view:


Solution:


The solution for this point of using superficiality to hide away or escape the collective consequence we have created here of abuse to all areas of life in this world is to first on a self individual level - walk a process of self purification through self introspection, self understanding, self forgiveness, and self correction within a point of writing and changing oneself (For support with this process of change, please check out Desteni I Process - Lite Course) This to stop only seeing what money can buy me, but to see reality for how it really is, how it is being lived by every being who brought that product into creation, and support the change that is needed for this to end, you can start by investigating the Equal Money System and the Equal Life Foundation. This Equal Life outcome if all take responsibility for themselves and change to be a person that respect all others equal to self, then we can start making this reality a real substantial place of integrity and thus opportunity for real growth in self expression and freedom for all.

This self responsibility will have to be incorporated on all levels of our system so through the business sector as well, where the corporations and businesses will have to purify themselves and live from principles of equality of life, bringing back the balance of what they take they must give back in equitable measure and making sure that all the life they touch is considered. This to ensure the continuation of all life and the respect and care that is needed within this delicate dance that nature and the inhabitants among her must learn to balance and walk this within what is best for all always.
So we must take care of those who are now seen as the ‘have not’s’, and so be there voice until life is restored back to it's natural order equal and one.

Reward:

When life becomes balanced and life is seen for the purpose within itself as self expression instead of the desire for a point of self interest, life will then become natural meaning we will be aligned with nature = life and that is the highest gift we can give ourselves, and so once lived we will live in joy. And thus the obvious reward for a life were all live in equality with life/nature and so consider everyone the same as yourself, we will have real lasting peace, a place to really take a deep breath and feel secure, feel safe, and feel stable where ever our feet are placed on this earth. Peace within life is what is the reward of living equal with all life, and as a guy said to me today, 'we all want peace', yes, but we must live it. Join us @equalmoney and @equallifefoundation.

Day 309 – I am only Human





When we speak these words, ‘I am only Human’, it is said I find within myself in the point of justification for the actions or lack there of of common decency and living to my utmost ability. But what am I really saying here, I am saying that I accept and allow myself within the state of the way I am living in my world as excuse and justification, and I am living in abuse and in excuse because I simply don’t want to change. I don’t want to put in the effort of what it will take to eliminate this justification in words of ‘I am only human’ implying I can’t do any better then what I am living, when in reality I realize I am living nothing near my potential that I see I can be.

So one should as I will whenever this phrase comes up is to question the starting point of why this is being said, this specific statement of ‘I am only human’, and thus what am I justifying, what am I trying to excuse and push aside, and what is it that I am trying to hide from and not face. And then obviously, face self, find the points you are trying to hide through the tools that are available, and change self. I mean what is the point of being here if we don’t live and strive and push for the best we can be in this world, what are we doing here allowing and accepting the massive extinction and abuse to billions of living beings on this planet every moment when we have all the resources, know how, abilities, intelligence, everything we need, we just don’t have the will within us to change. These excuse such as the one listed in the title, is the slow death of ourselves as a species, if we don’t strive for change in excellence in living to our utmost potential, we don’t deserve to be here, we abuse in these excuses and annihilate the very planet that gives us lifeunconditionally.

So it’s to push through our limitations, and walk a point of correction through becoming self honest with ourselves, seeing where it is we are not living to our utmost potential and walking whatever it takes to change and correct this point to honor life and thus honor oneself through living there best in all they do.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to use the excuse ‘I am only human’ to justify my behavior of indecency and abuse to myself or another because I desired a point to possess me and did not want to control myself to walk a point of equality with that other, but instead chose to abuse and degrade myself to have what I desired to myself and have my satisfaction over others satisfaction.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to use the excuse of ‘I am only human’ to get out of points of facing myself in reality in what I have accumulated as consequence that wasn’t desired, and thus use this excuse to make light of what happened and make it less of an instance through using this as a valid excuse, where others are geared more to accept this and thus the point of responsibility of myself is abdicated as this excuse was accepted by myself, and thus I did nothing to correct myself and nothing changes, I continue to abuse.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to degrade and limit myself with this excuse of ‘I am only human’ when in reality I am the physical, the physical is what is real as life, and thus I am life and have equal and one opportunity to live this life as me to the utmost of my potential through aligning with the laws of the physical, that all is equal and all is one, and thus abusing this opportunity for self interest is not only a disgrace but is extremely foolish of me as I am giving up the life that is here for me to live and is who I am, I am not the mind as the mind is illusion and excuse and justification are used to protect the mind and thus abuse the physical because it is always in separation.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to desire to live for myself rather then look at the reality of who I am and correct myself to make sure all equally are considered within what I am doing and the environment I am in, so thus I stop abuse life due to not considering them, and thus I live self responsible for my actions by always considering others as I would myself in all environments I live in and interact with.

When and as I see myself go into the excuse of ‘I am only human’, I stop and breath, as I realize this is simply self abdication and justification to abuse life and degrade myself through living from self interest rather then life here in equality.

I commit myself to when I see I am walking this path to abuse and justify my actions, I stop immediately when I realize what I am doing, and implement the correction of common sense to do what is best for all.

I commit myself to find the point that I am trying to avoid and not face, and thus look at it in writing, and face the point within myself so I can clear it and stop the fear within it from directing me.

I commit myself to live this process to my utmost potential by pushing myself in my living, pushing myself in my writing, and pushing myself in my correction in aligning with life as equal and one to myself and living this in my reality always in consideration of what will be best for all life.

I commit myself to stop my self interest through letting go of the desires to escape and thus face myself through the process I am walking of self forgiveness and self correction.

I commit to flag point when I see I am going into escapism with excuses such as ‘I am only human’ and breath to realign with the physical and walk the point I am trying to avoid.

Day 304 – Self Judgment – Comparison Memory Breakdown – Money – “My money is better then your money”



Check out this blog for reference of this portion below:
Day 299 – Self Judgment – Comparisons – Money Memories

“when I got my first car, I identified it with the brand as jeep and saw that I am in a cool car as this is an expensive brand and car, so I can been seen as elite, more worthy, and high class with this symbol as the car I drove as someone who has money even though I hardly had money, but wanted to give off the impression to others that I had money cause i associated money with acceptability.”

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to associate the brand of something with the idea of myself as someone acceptable and cool because I could essentially afford this car because I was driving around in it.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to see that who I am is an idea in my head as someone driving a nice car and thus get an energy attachment as feeling more important then others.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to attach this idea in my head as a picture of driving a nice car to me as being superior and important, and thus desire this through getting these nice cars so I can feel important and superior in these cars over those who have cheap cars.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to compare myself to others based on what cars we drive and thus induce a point of polarity of better/worse based on the idea in my mind of what the symbol represents to me.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to base who I am on what I have as symbols and brands and thus separate myself from others and abuse life based on this idea that I am cooler then others because I have the right symbols.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to judge symbols as cars in this case to see where I stand, and thus I forgive myself to define myself by external things searching for who I am, when I realize I am here in my body and can define who I am based on my living in equality with others not in polarity.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to desire to be more then others based on not seeingmyself worthy for having cars that are not this and judging them and me as not as good.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to judge myself and others as not good if they have a car that is not expensive.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to see people based on the things around them, what they have, and not here within equal consideration of myself in seeing them as a person living here and not defined by anything or any idea.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to judge and compare life to be more then others and fuel my ego of feeling superior.

When and as I see myself go into this point of defining and judging what people have and what I have in stuff, I stop and breath, and realize that this only create a point of self compromise and separation with me and the life around me because I am not seeing clearly but only seeing where I can win. I realize this create abuse and me to live within polarities which is not equal.

I commit myself to let go of the comparison and judgments of what is here as stuff and push to practically see what is here and what it will be bested used for.

I commit myself to let go of my mind ideas as what is good and what is bad through desire and walk the point of the physical purpose, it’s use, and if it will function correctly at the time of use.

I commit myself to embrace others as well as embrace me and accept self for who ia m as how I live and stop defining due to a desire to be more.

I commit to walk my ego into correction as equalizing it and stop the point of mind control in seeing life in self interest.

Day 303 – Self Judgment – Comparison Memory Breakdown – Money – ‘We are NOT shopping there’


Check out this blog for reference of this portion below:
Day 299 – Self Judgment – Comparisons – Money Memories

“shopping at ames and bradleys which were stores that were cheaper in price and my sisters use to make fun of my mom for going there, and so I from that perspective saw it as a cheap and like not cool place to shop, so saw us as ‘low-class’ for shopping at these places for clothes and thus didn’t want to be associated with the name of these stores nor buying clothes from them and wearing them around my friends in more the older childhood like 5th-6th grade on.”

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to compare the clothes we wear based on the store it was bought from and the name brand, and thus I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to seewhere people buy things is a status of who they are as either high class or low class.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to see myself wanting only to be associated with the high class stores and clothes because within me it gives me a sense of importance and status over others because I could afford those clothes, and thus I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to only define myself and others based on the symbols of the clothes they wear and thus create an idea in my mindabout them based on my idea of the symbols I have created within my mind.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to see myself within this idea of symbols and that some symbols are better then others, and thus from this idea judge others and treat others in how I judged these symbols.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to create an idea in my mind of symbols being better then other symbols based on believing what the media said such as this makes you more important and higher status cause you are able to earn the money to get these things, and thus you are more important and valuable then those that can’t afford such symbols.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed this idea that symbols represent life and who someone is, and thus I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that who a person is is based on what symbols they buy and what I judge as who they are as inferior or superior to me based on the symbols they can afford.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to program myself and believe that those who are able to buy certain things are more valuable because they have more money and thus were able to get that money, and those who can’t get those symbols aren’t worth as much because they are not good at getting money.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to create my relationship with others based on my perceived definitions of value based on symbols that one wear, and thus I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to judge another and treat another any differently then I would want for myself.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed symbols to direct me into separating and compromising myequality with others believing this is real, when in fact these are not real, but made up, and what matters is not what the symbol represent as the being, but what it’s purposes in creating life in the best way possible is as I realize what is valuable and thus equal within all is the life that live, and thus this is the only value that is real and thus should be honored and respected within all and thus given equal support for all to have the support all need to live in dignity as this is what I would want for myself.

When and as I see myself go into any point of judgment of a symbol on any point of the physical and judge it as more or less based on ideas within myself, I stop and breath, and realize that this is a programmed behavior of status desires to be more and thus I see, realize, and understand I am compromising my self integrity by judging others in any way as more or less then me.

I commit myself to investigate all symbols I judge as bad or good, and thus purify them through self forgiveness, self correction, and living the correction in my world.

I commit myself to breath through all judgments and release the memory of energy as being superior or inferior until I am stable within it and can direct myself in equality with the physical.

I commit to support all life here regardless of any point of difference of physical picture/image, and treat others as I would like to be treated always.

I commit to breath through the desire to judge and release the energy through my feet and into the earth to practice stability in these moments of energy activation, such as when I see a symbol and react to it.
