This is the Divine Chaos.

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend." — Albert Camus

Welcome to all my new Facebook friends. I'm a 31 y/o father of 3. I left my job after realizing the harm I was causing. I left to work on building a better reality for everyone. I chose to start doing what I felt I should do, not what I was told to do. I blog my experience, both personal and within the world at large. I contribute my experience to the whole in order to improve our shared understanding.

There are more and more reasons for people to become totally disenfranchised with our dominant cultural expectations. The American Dream has been drifting further and further away as the gap between rich and poor widens, but now it is in complete collapse. The Quickening. Our previous social contract was a failure. It is time to re-write our expectations. It's time to abandon judgment, it's time to imagine something new.

Trickle-down Reaganomics was a fraud and technological advances have not lightened our burdens. This is because capital only follows a profit to shareholders. There is no reason we can not afford to feed and shelter our entire population. Failure to do so is a burden we must all bare. The terrors of financial insecurity attack our freedoms, not men living in the caves of Afghanistan. Our failure to comprehend the suffering financial insecurity has caused is due to our belief in a media manufactured reality. A reality manufactured by the need for profit to shareholders. It's time freedom becomes a motivation.

You're not actually free unless you're wealth, then you have all the freedom you could want. Money is freedom in our social contract, and freedom is alloted to those who conspire to take it from others. I've decided that true freedom does not come from an allegiance with anyone, it comes from personal independent action and free association. So this is the reality I choose to embrace. Economic freedom is vital to human freedom. Those who benefit from our corrupt system often compare us to the worst of the world and direct our path as such. I compare us to the best possibilities, and seek the road up. Lets not look to how much worse we can be to each other and imagine creating a new reality. What is freedom if you fear you very survival? What is freedom if you can't afford food and shelter? We tend to only like the parts of America that we identify with. Most don't understand the principles of freedom this country was founded on, instead choosing a fanatical patriot sports team mentality for the Red White and Blue. I love our fanatical patriots, but please allow room in this nation for people who try and imagine how to support the cause of freedom.

It is time for a Second Bill of Rights, not Martial Law. This is not Helter Skelter. This is the great understanding. This is the Divine Chaos. This is when we learn to see ourselves in the eyes of every other person. I don't fully understand my role, but I'm building a Field of Dreams. I do the work my muse compelled, and trust to fate. I make mistakes, I backslide, I question my faith, but this is life logged @ Life-Wharton.com.
