Things change. This is the way of life.

Things change. This is the way of life. Cycles of growth and recession, ups and downs, rich and poor, happiness and sadness, summer and winter. Nothing exists independently, only in relation its opposition and its enviornment. The human mind is unable to conceptualize one thing without another. What is light without dark, money without poverty, and one hand clapping? Even the physical world also exists as such, a single Quark is simply not possible.

The world is going through a period of drastic change. I call this Exponential Progression into a new era of humanity, others see it differently. We are now in a period of poor government, declining living standards, greater division between rich & poor, collapse of the family, and a collapse in everything we thought we held dear. But this is only the calm before the storm. The signs of this change are written everywhere for those willing to look.

As social media becomes more popular and the gate keepers loose control we are now starting to piece together who we really are. Our shared perception of reality becomes less and less dependent on the manipulation of the few, and more and more reflects the shared wisdom of many. Our shared perception of reality can now escape the small box it has been kept in. Fortunately the greatest social upheaval in human history will be accompanied by the development of the very tools we need to rebuild a better social framework. We only see history, we drive this boat looking only backward. We are only now able to acknowledge the Corporate/Zombie Bank ownership of the Government and media because it is becoming a thing of the past. There is, of course, good and bad collateral effects of our world's global financial system collapsing. The Dollar is a share into this system, as confidence in this system falters so will the Dollar. So will our economy, but this is only temporary and is needed for the change to happen. This is known by a lot of people, but when the major US media corporations have no interest in informing the public, the public remains uninformed.

I only now understand the true value of money. Dollars are shares in a corrupt system centered around the Federal Reserve. The Fed is owned an operated by major international banks, this is in their charter. The purpose of this system is to maintain power in the hands of a few selected institutions (see Goldman Sacs) and to provide a simple quantitative measurement of power, the Dollar. Whoever buys treasury bills (shares in our national debt) is buying our country, and conversely when we sell treasury bills we are selling off our sovereignty. Between my family's share of the national debt and our mortgage debt alone we owe the Banking Cartels close to half a million dollars. This is my sovereign debt, my debt to the system that owns me. By law the fed creates money out of thin air and uses this money to buy our sovereignty from us. Whether it is the money the fed gave to banks, or the money banks are allowed to create out of thin air because of the fed, money has no intrinsic value an only represents a share in a system. The fed also manipulates interest rates for the benefit of their owners.

As a child of the divorce wave (and gay marriage is going to reduce the sanctity of marriage?!?) I had 3 fathers. Each one taught me basically the same thing: Work hard, be completely subservient to your boss, all problems are resolved by anger. Basically the backlash of the 60's, and the result was a culture defining itself by being the anti-hippie. Born in 1978, I was essentially a child of the hyper-materialistic 80's.

Simple observation could tell that this was not a path to happiness. However, I was fortunate to have so many perspectives on family values. This has been an incredible advantage to me. Everyone has a choice to make; either past experiences are an excuse for misery or a catalyst for happiness. Most people eventually understand that their parents ideals need not be your own, but for the vast majority of people their only other perspective on other ways of being (life) is TV. I have had the chance to experience many different perspectives in reality, not just different perspectives derived from fantasy. The best example of this in our society is Disney movies. In the absence of acceptable male role-models, how many girls latched onto imaginary and idealized princes? This perpetuates the idea that wealth is always a measure of virtue. One of the many insights this has given me is how to still be happy in poverty.

The vast majority of people receive most of their ideas about values from TV. TV reality is superficial, materialistic, and paid for with corporate money/power. Everything that is supported by the consumer/corporate culture will reflect the very same culture and values. Even when they pay lip-service to the idea that money and consumption does not lead to happiness, all the subtle clues are that these people are happier because they have more stuff then you. There is a reason our culture has degraded to the lowest common denominators, and blaming liberals or conservatives is only distractions. Our culture is defined by media, by the corporate, bank-owned, consumerism driven supper elites that wish only to divide the proletariat (basically anyone who makes under $200k/year).

Success comes after happiness, not the other way around.

So I am figuring out my own path of non-compliance with a system I no longer wish to support, and see if it is possible for anyone to take a Hero's Path. I will use this time to focus on self-improvement through work on body, mind, and spirit. To focus on training myself for the needs of a new social design or anything else to do my part to help us all find the Golden Path. To want my purpose to be finding a cure for mankind. I want to free my mind. I need to find a Glorious Dawn for my children. I am not afraid of failure, it is no accident that I am who I am. My choice is what I can make of it, and heed the call to action.

I am thankful for the social-economic class I have achieved, but I know how to find happiness whatever my economic situation. What will I do? Find happiness through positive thinking and expression of individuality, and good things will follow.
