The system has, down to it's very depths, built up walls of defense against events that may threaten it. One being to use it's own members as protection through enforcing loyalty to it, unthinking loyalty to a system which enslaves us all. Anyone who is different, more intelligent, or asking searching questions is, within the system- a system in which the world's religions and social systems are mere subsystems, such is its scope and penetration- seen as a type of threat and is very likely to suffer some form of persecution as the system tries to contain this threat. The fear of this persecution, or estrangement, of being misunderstood, is the ultimate deterrent that the system has. Yet this deterrent is rendered powerless by those who find a truer happiness within themselves and are thus far less concerned about the judgements of others.
People would be better off being loyal to the future of humanity rather than the systems they find themselves in. All systems can be reformed and made better, more humane, more efficient, and more progressive- they are not worthy of worship in and of themselves. People should listen to the voices of progression and change, not try to stifle them by various means, of various levels of barbarism. The fact they don't do this and instead feel threatened by the good doctor who offers them medicine to make their lives better, happier, freer- shows how deep the brainwashing has gone.
If this blog in any way makes even one human less brainwashed and more friendly to the cause of progress, to the cause of a better and happier future, then it has accomplished its objective. Intelligence is a wonderful, pure thing when combined with virtue and inspiration- listen to it from whomsoever's mouth speaks it. Black, white, brown, rich, poor- it makes no difference. It will find a way to be heard and often such are the nature of social obligations that it would rather chose to come through someone on the lower end of the social spectrum- from someone who is free to speak, as they have nothing to lose by doing so. A president or prime-minister- with all the world's media constantly watching or listening, has a lot less freedom to speak his mind- plus there are the obligations to others in his party who could also 'lose their jobs'.
The system often manifests itself in our lives most clearly in the guise of 'the workplace'. In the workplace it may be a bit harder than with friends to speak your mind-you may want to improve things but not to 'rock the boat' or seem like a bad influence. Unlike the homeless person, you really do have something to lose- your job and anyone who may be depending on you to keep it. So if you have something intelligent to say, just find a safe way to say it and it may have its effect. find a tactful way through the recognised 'chain in command change whatever is bugging you without ruffling too many feathers.
Ultimately, it is the authorities, the management, who have the power to make changes, so try and let your ideas reach them in a way reassuring that it is not an attempt to show disrespect their power but rather to help them to wisely manage. They can often appreciate this and accept it, yet of course watch out for your personal safety and try to approach a ‘boss’ who is understanding and welcomes advice- a boss who is thereby a blessing. Of course, this level of compassion and understanding are rare in today's primitive world so what I recommend more is developing your skills to the point at which people really can't live without you- and they will change things to make you happy so that you will stay!
So, never feel bad about having an idea to make things better- even if people should make fun of you for it. Jesus, Galileo, The Beatles- all were ridiculed for being ahead of their time, yet now all are highly esteemed and honoured, even if their ideas have yet to be fully-implemented. Yet let not another’s hurtful words sting you- rather forgive their misunderstanding, seeing that it comes not so much from malice as from ignorance. ‘Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do’. Rather share your wisdom and intelligence in a spirit of patience as the thanks may come long after the act of giving- just as a child given a bottle of fine wine will have to wait years before appreciating the gift, which he hoped would be a wanted toy. They will understand and thank you for the guidance. In the fullness of time…
