The best solutions to the problems in our society are probably things youve already heard of. Youve probably already heard of solar panels and windmills. Youve probably already heard of industrial hemp being used to make paper, fuel, plastics and clothing. Youve probably already heard of paper ballots being used to assure accurate democratic elections. Youve heard of organic and vegetarian foods, natural non-toxic cleaning and body care products, natural medicines, fair trade goods, etc. All of these things are not new technologies, products or processes, but pre-existing, fully functional ones, that are being purposefully and actively suppressed by a few very wealthy individuals in positions of political/corporate power that benefit from the suppression.
In fact, those that maintain the destructive status-quo system probably only number in the hundreds, while those that want positive change number in the tens of millions (a conservative estimate). The keepers of the status-quo know they are vastly outnumbered, as they have always been throughout history, and that is why their actions and the policies they support are distinctively fascist and violent.
Of the majority that are living reluctantly within a society designed by these impious individuals, most fall into two categories. The first would surely like dramatic positive change, but they are not aware, capable or compassionate enough to work for the change, and instead they usually carry a jaded and apathetic personality concerning socio-political change. The second category of people are aware, capable and compassionate enough to fight against the massive unnecessary suffering occurring in the world, but they think the situation is hopeless, and fall into despair, dejection and trepidation.
This second group will be the focus from this point on, since the first category will likely be uninterested in a revolutionary path of living.
The reasons for despair are many, and they are justified. When ones child is killed or maimed by weapons deployed by order of fascist war criminals, there is no silver lining. When compassionate human rights activists are tortured in the most cruel and painful ways, there is no positive counter-effect. When people suffer terribly from diseases caused by toxins and radiation that never needed to be spread, there is no good side to the situation. When a child starves to death or dies from a curable illness, there is no way in which it was the will of the Divine. These experiences are hellish, and there is no bright side to hell on Earth. These things should not be happening, they are not part of any cosmic balance or part of a perfect world that we just cant perceive. This world is far from perfect; socially, economically, politically and spiritually.
Therefore, despair is a natural and logical reaction to those that wish to live in peace, health and happiness, and wish the same for others. However, I believe this crippling despair can be greatly diminished by living in harmony with the positive, non-violent, justice-seeking energy that infuses our Reality.
This is achieved through living a revolutionary lifestyle. Living in a way that does not support a destructive status quo-system, becoming more self-reliant, more self-empowered, in a society whos rulers work daily to make the Public more dependent on the rich, more ignorant of the truth and solutions, more unhealthy, more apathetic, more isolated from others in their community, more paranoid, more fearful. Slander and ridicule are the most pervasive tools of disempowerment, but they become lese and less effective as you live more and more on target with a truly non-violent way of life. They want to destroy confidence, for alignment with the Will brings unshakable confidence. Resisting this system of control and violence is paramount in achieving social and spiritual liberation. This is done most effectively by manifesting the two opposing qualities of the status-quo, compassion and freedom. It means openly rejecting war-supporting propaganda and lies. It means not supporting industries that harm their employees and the environment. It means not killing/torturing animals for food when we dont have to. It means not spewing cancer and global warming causing exhaust into the air when we can run automobiles on alternative fuels, and so on.
Once youre aligned with the crucial work for justice your desire for the non-crucial, the superficial, the hollow, will fall away. You will be left with a sense of purpose and meaning that will give you energy and contentment as you move forward. You will want to associate with others and with work that is in harmony with this movement because it gives satisfaction, and the status-quo paradigm does not. It becomes not an issue of morality but one of enjoyment. The system is turned upside down, pleasure is found in destroying the hedonistic false materialistic system in favor of a lifestyle, work and action that rebels against it, and systematically dismantles it.
Seeing through the corporate/superficial gloss, the vanity in much desire and relationships, the lies of government, the distractions in entertainment, etc. to the violence, illusion and injustice they cover up, their hollow nature is known by negative consequences produced for the participants who never understood why their life continued in a mediocre and dissatisfying fashion and at a lower level existence, despite their normality. In a society based on destruction and violence, normal is not the ideal. The ideal is its antithesis, the ideal is a revolution in ones mind that has been conditioned by the backwards system, coinciding with a revolution of the framework of that system itself.
