“The whole system that we live in drills into us that we’re powerless, that we’re weak, that our society is evil, that’s its fragmented.  It's all a big fat lie.  We are powerful, beautiful, extraordinary. There is no reason why cannot understand who we truly are, where we are going. There is no reason why the average individual cannot be fully empowered. We are incredibly powerful beings.

“I think I spent 30 years of my life, the first 30, trying to become something. I wanted to become good at things, I wanted to become good at tennis, I wanted to become good at school and grades, and everything I viewed in that perspective. I’m not OK the way I am, but if I got good at things. I realised I had the game wrong: the goal was to find out who I already was.”

“I wasn’t born Richard Albert, I was just born a human being and then I learned this whole business of who I am, whether I’m good or bad, achieving or not, all that’s learned along the way.

“In our culture we’ve been trained for individual differences to stand out. So you look at each person and immediately you think brighter, dumber, older, younger, richer, poorer, and we make all these dimensional distinctions, put them into categories and treat them that way. And we get so we only see others as separate from ourselves and the ways in which they’re separate. And one of the dramatic characteristics of experience is being with another person and suddenly seeing the ways they are like you, not different from you. And experiencing the fact that that which is essence in you, and is essence in you, is indeed one. The understanding that there is no other. It is all one.”

“The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you go on it you think it’s real, because that’s how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down, and round and round, it has thrills and chills and its very brightly coloured, and it’s very loud, and it’s fun, for a while. Some have been on the ride for a long time and they being to question: “Is this real, or is this just a ride?” And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say “Hey, don’t worry, don’t be afraid ever, because this is just a ride.” And we kill those people. “Shut him up, I’ve got a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account and my family. This has to be real.” Its just a ride. But we always kill those good guys that try to tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn’t matter because it’s just a ride, and we can change it anytime we want. Its only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings or money, just a choice, right now, between fear and love.”

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”

People.
People. That's all that counts in this world.

Imagine now that every person you know is content and happy in all that they do (including yourself). Now, isn’t that a world worth fighting for? A world worth working towards?

A place where each of us is ourselves? Nothing more, nothing less.

Now, in terms of where we live today, how can this possibly be?



Each of will keep our respective heads down, focusing on what's immediately in front of us (which is ultimately focused on only ourselves), in order to better our immediate future.

But what of the future in general?

Humanity, as it stands, proceeds forward in the scale of time, focuses on how we can better what we will do now and later, without considering on how will affect those around us, as well as ourselves, in the future.

Each of us would be so much happier if each of us worked towards a future where all of us were happy.

This may sound like a load of hippy mumbo-jumbo, but you can understand what I’m getting at, right?

Irrelative of our own platforms of belief, we can all appreciate and strive for something like this.

The point of this is that there is something working towards.
And that thing is ultimately happiness for everyone.

Why do we squander our lives on such immaterial things, when, by working towards a communal happiness, we can all be content with what we have and what we can achieve?

Humanity, thanks to our years of civilised indoctrinization, has come to believe that we have to improve ourselves in order for us to achieve something.

However, one we all change to a mindset that believes differently (I.E: that we all we need to happy in order for each of us to be happy) then can we each being to achieve something that we can all be proud of.

My point here is that, as we stand today, each and every one of us needs to evaluate how we stand now so that we can achieve what we ultimately want in terms of the future.

Think now on what you want and think on what you can do to achieve that. What sucks in you life? How can you change that?




The answer is really simply, and you know it.

That's really all that I have to say.

Thanks for reading and I hope that this has change something in your world (irrelative if whether it did or did not)
