Yesterday I posted a pic of an email on Instagram that my grandmother sent me of a conversation that she had with a woman at the car wash who is stock piling guns and canned food because the “world is being taken over by a group of rich people and bad things are going to happen.” I posted this pic to show the prevalence of this belief, and the fearful behavior that is ensuing as a result. I counter this belief with the following: our society has been controlled, quite successfully, by a group of rich people for a very long time. At this point, we as individuals live our lives precariously dependent on the dole of these rich people. Our money, food, energy, and livelihoods all depend on these rich people. We have quite willingly given up our personal freedom for the illusion of security and the trinkets that we get in return. Buying guns and stockpiling food is not the solution, this behavior just perpetuates the problem. Fear is the number one tool that is used to manipulate the masses, and acting out of fear only continues the insanity. The solution is to stop acting out of fear, and take responsibility. It is time to take back our land, take back our schools, take back our community and take back our personal sovereignty. We need to start banding together and use our creativity and resources to solve the problem, not continue to perpetuate fear and misery. We need to start growing our own food, creating our own systems of trade, taking care of the families in need, and supporting each other in community. Do not fear what is to come, instead rise up and create a world worth living in.
I reply, “As souls we are all eternal. A soul is one of the infinite expressions of source. We are all souls having a physical experience. The experience of physical reality, however, is only fleeting; the experience passes, and this passing we call death. As source, we are formless. Life outside of form is like nothing we can imagine whil…e experiencing form. The essence of source, which we are all a part of, is supreme nothingness, or the absence of form-Supreme Nothingness with Infinite Potential. It is within that potential that the form we are currently experiencing exists.”
He says, “Hmm..I like that, it sounds like a huge step up from where we are now.”
I reply, “To say that what we are experiencing now is less than what we experience after death is diminishing the experience in the now. Now is the moment you as an expression of the infinite have decided to manifest.”
He states, “I think I follow…it sounds like an extremely interwoven existence.”

The function of rational consciousness, and particularly the will which results from self-conscious involvement in the world of nature, is not just for the experiencing of nature, but for its understanding and control. If man does not use his self-consciousness to harness and employ the preconscious (which is the embedded Spirit of Man), he wastes his own opportunity and also deprives the Spirit of Man from rising in this one instance to the self-conscious level. Man is necessary for the evolution of the universe! Indeed, he is inevitable.

Quote with 7 notes
A human being is a part of the whole, called by us “Universe”; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.
