Somewhere along the line...(and the line spans over centuries). We humans have traded our true identities in for false ones. For the purpose of this article, I will refer to ones identity as ones consciousness. For our consciousness is nothing more than what we allow in our awareness. And our identity is based on what we identify with in our awareness.
So our beliefs and actions stems from who we think we are. Who we think we are is our identity, and our identity is formed by what we identify with in our past and present awareness. Now this is the catch. What is ‘out there’ is INFINITELY greater than your current awareness. I also know that what is ‘in here’ is INFINITELY greater than your current awareness. I know this by experience, by reading stories of other peoples experiences and because all holy scriptures throughout the ages have always had the same message that, ‘We are made in the image and likeness of our creator’ and that ‘We are powerful beyond measure.’
I also know for sure that we live in a universe of absolute ABUNDANCE. How do I know that? You need only look around you! We were not given one flower to appreciate but thousands. Not just one colour but hundreds. We were not given one sunrise or sunset, not one star to gaze up at. Not one type of animal but thousands . Not one fish but hundreds of thousands. Not one grain of sand, but trillions. We have not one drop of water but oceans, and rivers and lakes and streams. Not just one tree to give shade but thousands. Insects, birds, mountains, beaches, animals, fruit, vegetables, water, flowers, trees, minerals and land etc.
We have an abundance of natural resources on this planet, so many resources that each person can live more than comfortably on this earth. Not only have we been given so much natural resources but also human, the talents and unique capabilities that exists amongst us are immeasurable. We are blessed!
So where does all this fear come from? This consciousness of scarcity? Where does this vision of lack come from? Why do we see all these hopeless situations? Why do we feel powerless, insignificant, less than, and insecure? You need only turn on the TV and pick up the daily newspapers, most religious institutions teach it, listen to the local gossip, or listen to your favourite radio station. It is everywhere! We are being bombarded on a daily basis with negative headlines of FEAR; crises, FEAR, economic depression, FEAR, war, FEAR, crime, FEAR, poverty, FEAR, unemployment and once again FEAR. You are told on a daily basis how you don’t measure up, how you are less than. You are too fat, too poor, not educated enough, the wrong religion, too black or too white, you were born in the wrong country, you have the wrong dress sense you follow the wrong political party, you drive an old car. FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! The only power which they make you believe you have is the power to vote for a particular political party! FEAR!
Do you know that the same headlines of economic crises, depression and war. Were on the front covers of Time magazine and other newspaper headlines in the 1930’s, 1940’s, 1980’s, 1990’s and 2000’s? So what is the difference now? None. Bad news sells. They know that! They know that a newspaper is much more likely to sell if it has headlines of doom, than if it has a headline about how people are saving the rain forest by planting trees! Do you honestly think that these good, humanitarian efforts don’t go on, on a daily basis? They do! A majority of people however are just not interested in hearing about it.
You see we humans have been brainwashed to believe that we are weak, and powerless. And so the best we can do is vote for a particular political party and hope for the best. While in the meantime, we do the only thing we know how to do....ENTERTAIN ourselves! Movies, Ipods, computer games, facebook,fashion magazines, gossip and being mesmerized by bad news. While we put in long hours climbing the corporate ladder, trying to be the best so that hopefully we can feel less insecure about ourselves. But it’s never enough is it? Because they keep telling you, that you aren’t enough, that the world is going into deeper crises. So you must accumulate more, strive more be afraid more.
Do you think this is by accident? Do you not think that someone could have an invested interested in keeping you struggling and entertained. Keeping you mesmerized? Of course you don’t! Who the hell would be interested in you! Insignificant, powerless, insecure you. I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist but I do believe that there are a group of people who are brainwashing us to have a scarcity consciousness. To keep us feeling insecure and little. Because when we don’t believe that we are powerful or that there is enough for everyone; we fight for scraps and then we are content with the scraps we have. And we don’t ask questions as to why many have none, and few have insane amounts of resources. And in exchange they keep us entertained.
And that my dear friends is why 10% of the population earn 90% of all the money, and have all of the power.
