Brain Flossing

I'm beginning to think that the "System" has evolved in such a way that it prevents the success of those who want and choose to fight against it. For every one of us, who's eyes are open to what that system is trying to take from us, there are thousands of "THEM" who prevent us from making our dreams a reality. I don't think that the majority mean to do this, rather they do it inherently. They believe as much in what they've been told and learned from oppression as that of which we believe. We are grossly out numbered. Wherever we turn with our ideals of freedom.....freedom of thought, freedom from possessions, freedom of lifestyles, freedom's of whatever, we are met with resistance from those who refuse to go against the grain, and ultimately to them, against what is "Supposed" to happen or be. The complacency they share is also inherent and comes from what "WE" are supposed to do and feel. It is that complacency which builds the wealth of America; "If we continue to go the way of the "American Dream" we "WILL" be successful...If we just want it bad enough, we "Might" just make it happen." Unfortunately for the "Free Thinkers" the American Dream wasn't tailored to or for us. It was written around us, with the foresight that we would not be a cause big enough to warrant concern. Were they right? I'm beginning to think so.

There are two things I disagree with in your statement. First that you have a good chance of becoming successful in the system if you just want it enough. First of all, that depends on your definition of making it. Traditionaly, in the American Dream of today, that has to do with a certain amount of financial freedom and a certain amassment of possessions. Most peoples idea of 'making it', based on material measures, are too lofty. These lofty goals are encouraged by religious leaders such as Anthony Robins. Of course the real issue is that success is based on material possessions in the first place.



Secondly I disagree that our founding fathers had such material ideas of success in mind, though I may be just being naive. In fact, I believe the opposite, that the founders of this country MAY have had exactly us in mind. Those that wanted freedom from the system itself. Isn't that one of the main reasons they came here in the first place? I know I'm overly simplifying, but I think our founding fathers wouldn't be happy with where their country has gone. Then again, the founding fathers were wealthy land owners and would probably be just as socio-economically l33t today. They'd probably believe the same BS.

It may not be the case you were thinking of, but I know a lot of people who bought things like clothing (and food) on credit while they were students because they had no other means of purchasing necessities. At that point, it becomes a trade off of what you value more: education, or freedom.

"If we continue to go the way of the "American Dream" we "WILL" be successful...If we just want it bad enough, we "Might" just make it happen." -- This was meant to critisize those people like Tony Robbins and others that buy in to the thought "if only wanted it bad enough". I didn't mean to suggest that I was saying this, rather I was trying to elude to the fact that it's what we are tought by the system. And it's as dumb as it sounds.

Re: Kasei
I intentionally and specifically said it is bad most of the time. It would be easy to come up with senarios where debt is justified. If a single mom bought food on her credit cards so her kids could eat while she was between jobs, I'd think it was justified. Most debt is frivelous though.

I said it before and I'll say it again: "All DEBT is BAD and is meant to keep us slave to the SYSTEM". Debt might be needed or justified for survival but that doesn't make it a good thing. The American Dream is fulfilled a little more each time that single mom uses her credit card to buy food for her starving children.

"American Dream" = "Taking advantage of someone else's misfortune!"

Now that's a great thing isn't it?

I would have to disagree with the prospect that the American Dream is fully capable of being realized with the right effort, because it simply isn't. If that were the truth then the glass ceiling that keeps the lower class at bay would be easily overcomable, which it obviously isn't. The success of the individual is proportionally rated against their ability to form the correct relationships with the right people. In simpler terms, it takes money to get money or attract money rather, and in our modern consumerism society, money is everything. Money buys you success, money buys you that cute fleece pullover that all your friends will envy, money will give you the freedom to oppress those less fortunate. Our monitary system is just an extension of the "survival of the fittest" ideology that has the better portion of an entire generation slaves to its unswerving power. This was an inevitable byproduct of the Neolithic Evolution. We are just the ones unfortunate enough to experience its birth. But as everything in life has a cycle of birth and death, the question I want answered, is when, or how, it will die.

free your self from the system and you will find a life 50 million times better then this one. a life where any thing is possible even the flight of our selfs. love is a word but the connection is unity. mankind is a family. a family cannot survive divided so neither can mankind. we have to unite or we will suffer the consequences.

if you are not part of the cure you are part of the virus. and this virus babylon and rome will be wiped out. praise be to us and the creator. for we are the creator and the creator is us.

if we realise that we are in the matrix of nature. and we free our selfs then we can create our own needs out of thought. if we need clothes think of them in the state of consciousness called samedhi when it is gained and it will be so. this i believe is how our brother and father jesus turned water into wine
