State of Flux

 Where we are versus where we are supposed to be is the crux of our situation. We, meaning humanity, are in a perpetual state of flux, as it were, due to competing ideologies. These ideologies are not only competing, they are in stark contrast to each other and cannot, by nature, compromise. There is no reasoning with either side to come to an agreement for the sake of peace. No, both sides have their heels dug in deep and refuse to budge. And why should they? Both have very strong ideas of how humanity is to progress forward and both have grievances of the other side. So which one is right? That is the real question we need to answer. The truth is, neither side is right and neither side is wrong, because they are both right and they are both wrong. The problem has more to do with perceived power. When in reality, the power never belonged to any of us in the first place. Power, you see, is perceived to be the end goal for those who tend toward the ego, not the spirit, or essence of who we really are. For those who live in the essence of life understand the end goal is expansion. Power, stunts growth, expansion champions it. And growth isn’t about some “Great Reset”, growth is the natural progression of a free society. Growth is the end result of communities working together, yet allowing for individual freedom. Governance only works properly when done small and left to local municipalities. This is not a mutable nor debatable statement, it is truth. All one must do is look throughout history and notice the pattern of how empires rise and then fall. They fall because they get too big and can no longer adapt as quickly nor efficiently, thus creating a stagnating society. And as unfortunate as it is to say, the United States is at that point. 

  Remember, in order to grow, a society MUST acknowledge their own stagnation and consciously choose to change it. But that doesn’t mean dismantle it and rebuild. No, it means looking at what is of value and what can be thrown away. Community is valuable, identity politics is NOT! Acceptance is freeing, judgment is confining. Massive government has no ability or capacity to provide for all citizens, but small, community based governments do. 

  So where can we affect real change, and how? Find the things of intrinsic value to you and focus on those. Stop paying any attention to the things and people who devalue you and what you stand for. Stop giving your hard earned dollars to corporate oligarchs. Think local, act local, buy local. Grow your own food and share with your neighbors. Find out what they can trade or do for you. Band together with them, regardless of political affiliation (if there comes a day when we no longer have a government, or we’re at war, you’ll want to know who and what your neighbors are, for many reasons). Build valuable skills to contribute to your community, so you can all become self-sustaining. These elites cannot control the masses if the masses refuse to listen or fall in line.
