Problem                                                                

• We have made Money more than the Value of Life – this implies that the outflows of our own creation have turned against us due to our desire to have power and control over others in the name of self interest and greed. There is no Integrity in the form of capitalism where money has become an end in itself, where life is not valued in Equality but only reduced to become another ‘item’  or product that can be transformed into a new need to make some profit out of it.

• There is no Self Respect in a world where we bind each other to the relationships we form based on money which creates inequality, because there is no equal opportunity to make money to live in dignity.This enables the social polarization and Inequality that currently exists, where only a minority have the access to most of the wealth/ power in the world and mostly work on increasing it/capitalizing it. This creates the belief that such individuals are to be considered ‘more powerful’ than other human beings just because of having ‘more money’ which means that there is no Physical Common Sense as the regard of each individual as equal and requiring the same means to live and the same desires to have a happy and comfortable life, but instead we value the ability to abuse within a system where money decides who lives like a king and who starves to death.

• There is no Authority in a world where what we see is Common Sense, what would be Best for All is diminished to be a ‘pipe dream’ or a ‘utopia’ when declaring that All individuals should be Supported in Equality to have the Best Living Condition possible – instead we abdicate our ability to direct ourselves as equals as life by delegating our power to a governmental structure where our ‘representatives’ have no genuine interest to guard everyone’s best interests in equality. Instead we justify the disparity based on the diversity of education, skills, country, race, age and general ‘environmental conditions’ which implies placing our living capacity and necessity subject to rules and regulations that limit each one’s living condition instead of enhancing it – and  justify this Inequality as something ‘real,’ when we all know that we are all made of flesh and bones, we all require the same elements to live.

• We are not regarding and considering all other Life Forms as Equals within our reality, we have turned animals, plants and the Earth’s resources into mere raw materials that make us make money and keep fueling our current lifestyles. We have No Self Respect and no Consideration for them being also equal parts of who we are as One and Equal. This has been also the result of our Education and the way we conceive, perceive and understand reality wherein we have imposed our dominion as human beings, as knowledge and information that we call Intellect where there is no regard to what is Best for All, but only what will make the most profit and make only some be the winners in a system designed to create just that: winners and losers and call it ‘having to make a living.’

• The origin of the problem to this system is often being diverted to only blame our current Authorities, while the reality is that the system is created and conformed by each one of us, which means that ‘The System’ is the reflection and result of each one of us as our Individual participation, it is what we have become as Self-Interest driven players of a game where we have complied to believe that ‘our goal in life is to seek to ‘make More’ than others’ and teach each other to never be satisfied with having just Enough and the necessary to live. There is this inherent drive to Greed that we fuel and live by as our purpose and intent throughout our life, which is reflected in the laws and terms that create the necessary conditions to ‘maximize profit’ and ‘ensure one’s success’ which is based upon the abuse imposed onto other individuals that are left deliberately ‘out of the game,’  so that they have no other option but working on slave-jobs that will enable them to ‘get money to live,’ instead of each one of us ensuring every person has equal access to dignified labor conditions that pays equal to any other position in a corporation or a business, since we are all humans and require the same type of support to live.

• There is no Common Sense in a system where money is valued upon life and for that, it is our collective acceptance to believe that some are meant to be poor and some are meant to be billionaires. There is no common sense in a system configuration where two human beings made of the same flesh and bones and living in the same world can make $7.25 per hour on a regular work and others in ‘CEO’ positions can make up to $5000 per hour which, is the kind of contrast that proves there is no physical regard to a sensible value of ourselves as Life, we have become absolutely delusional to believe there is any way to justify this abuse of life and call it ‘success’ and ‘wealth.’

• We live in a system where fearing each other to survive has become the essential characteristic of our human nature, the ‘survival of the fittest’ is the foundation of our schooling systems because we have conditioned each other to fear not having enough money to live – or never enough “success” to be satisfied with and always seeking for more – we know we cheat and lie to each other to make money, because that’s ‘how the system works’ and if not, one is prone to be robbed and subject to corruption because of some individuals having no means to make a living in a dignified manner. We fear at all times having to be left with no money and resorting to self abusive ways to subsist in a world where abusive jobs are allowed and unregulated by the laws that should protect our integrity and basic living rights by granting access and generating means for each one to have a dignified work to live – this Common Sense is Non existent in our society at this stage.

• We fear our authorities the same way that any ‘god’ is feared, we accept the imposition of institutions like our own government, international organizations and institutions, banks and corporations as ‘the untouchable’ sectors of our society, as something we have ‘no power to change’ while disregarding that it is each one of us that have voted off our ability to change a system where no corporation is being regulated by democratic means.  There is no regard for our ‘Best Interest’ in a system where what matters is enhancing, ensuring and provoking what should be illicit enrichment instead of ‘profit making’ and justify it as one’s ability to pursue happiness. Our laws and regulations have become weapons against our own well being.

• The Cult of Individualism is adopted by each one as our lifestyle, our own religion where only our personal interests are considered, where we value who we are according to images/pictures and concepts as the ‘Idea’ of ourselves more than a physical and common sense integrity; instead we generate more ways to justify and excuse  the abuse of life and the transformation of each other as mere products and assets where even our children are dragged to become part of the ‘work force,’ where mothers are forced to give birth to children that have no medicals support or a certainty to be able to feed them properly, where we allow people to go homeless and live tents and survive on food stamps while having empty houses for sale and tons of food is disposed and maimed so that ‘no profit’ can be made out of its failed retail sale. These are all indicatives of there being no democracy whatsoever in this society, yet it still remains as our own ‘card’ left to restore the sanity that we have lost or never in fact lived before.

• There is an entire world to redefine from the root and cause of the problem, which is the mind of ourselves as human beings that regard money as more than life, losing all physical commonsense of how we are the ones that created money, we accepted its ‘ways of existing’ and it is now our own creation that we are all enslaved by. Thus, it is our collective responsibility to take part in its rehabilitation, to transform the capitalist system to a sustainable and best for all living condition, as it always should have been, as it was intended to be but got high-jacked by personal desires to have all the power and control over others, a human trait that each one will have to ensure is corrected and aligned to recognize our Equality if we are to survive in this world – this is a process and it begins with redefining the meaning of our words and direct them to always ensure that life is regarded as equal in all.

Solution                                                           

• Equal Money Capitalism is the key to adapt, change and reform the current political and economic structures of our corrupted form of capitalism, take its basic principles of serving individual rights to have all of the necessary means to satisfy our physiological vital requirements, and improve our individual development and social relationships with the base foundation of ensuring we support All people Equally to have access to this.

• Equal Money Capitalism is based on practical physical reality: what you give is what you receive, you get money to live according to the work you do in equal remuneration to everyone else where your living condition is ensured to be satisfactorily fulfilled by virtue of our collective effort. The motivation is the realization that we require everyone participating to keep living in such a sustainable and comfortable condition that benefits all. And, just as any other organism, if it stops working to obtain the necessary means to live, it dies – so we all have to ensure that we keep the system alive by our individual contribution. This is a physical organic consideration at a social level, being a vital organ of the ecosystem and coexisting in symbiotic relationships within it.

Equal Money Capitalism will be the necessary transition step to as a global society establish an Equal Money System as presented at www.equalmoney.org Equal Money Capitalism therefore investigates what Capitalism should be like according to its very own principles – and thus, what requires to be adjusted within the current Capitalistic system to make it a system that works for everyone. A few pointers: Full employment is not negotiable, each one requires to be employed and receive an equal ‘wage’. This implies that if a person’s job is replaced by a machine, that the person is not fired, but is given a different task in a different department of the company. Companies will be required to have an Environmental Department that is tasked with giving back to the Earth what was taken in the production process. For instance, if a company utilizes clean water for its production process – then the Environmental Department will be in charge of purifying the water so it can as much as possible be reintegrated into the ecosystem. If a company utilizes wood – then the Environmental Department will assist with planting trees in areas where it would be supportive for the ecosystem. Such departments will assist with the full employment requirement. Free stuff is not acceptable as this creates monopolies. It also implies that someone is not remunerated for their contribution in the production process. Free stuff can only be produced when you have slaves to produce them. Each worker in a company will be owner of the company, and thus, each one receives an equal share of the profit. This means that one’s profit share is one’s wage. No-one owns the Earth’s resources – they belong to the Earth. We are here and are able to utilize them and when we go, the Earth must be able to continue to support itself and the life on it. Therefore, when we pay a price for a good or service, we pay for labor only as we don’t require to pay any owner of the resource. Herein, raw resource management will be an important task of Government. Governments will be tasked with ensuring that each one is provided with their Basic Human Rights – therefore, things like Healthcare, Housing, Sanitation, etc. will be provided by the government and one pays for them through tax. If Equal Money Capitalism (EMC) is successful, we can reconsider whether a step towards an Equal Money System (EMS) is required or not. - Maite Zamora Moreno’s answer to Equal Money Capitalism: What is Equal Money Capitalism? – Quora

• The removal of our current survival mode will be created as an outflow of each one of us living our responsibility to become active participants in our economy which will be founded upon providing equal support to everyone through having an assured access to Education and work to earn money and as such, each one becoming a well educated and integral participant of a society where the Living Principle is to create What is Best for All in Equality.  This ensures that everyone’s best interest is created/generated and sustained by the collective participation with equal consistent support ensured by direct democratic means, which is the form of government that will exist in a participatory economy where each one’s vote is counted to decide what is best for all.

• Our self-interest as a Common Wellbeing Interest is to have a fulfilling living condition  with all our needs met and having access to a  comfortable, secure and assured  living conditions. In an Equal implementation of these capacities, we require to give access to such benefits in an equitable manner. How to do this? Through the equal profit distribution policy applied to every participant in a business/ organization/ institution/ corporation in an equal manner – this is the way in which we can ensure that everyone’s right to be happy, to be healthy and enjoy life is guaranteed by virtue of their own work and effort. These are all physical reality plausible living conditions wherein no other philosophical or ideological terms are required.

• All of these solutions require an extensive and gradual process that begins with the Process to take Self Responsibility for ourselves at an individual level to then be able to stand together to create the necessary political platform of individuals that can be proven to be acting and deciding what is best for all by our equal participation to do so.

Rewards                                                  

• Life will be the only Value that exists. This means that no one will have to be sacrificed to create a general wellbeing, instead each one will become a person that lives to develop and enhance one’s living expression and skills/abilities  in order to excel within the consideration of what is best for all, becoming a living participant that takes part in the creation and production of these common wellbeing principles. Each one’s contribution to the common good will be the result of self-responsible individuals working toward the same outcome:  No one will be allowed to get any less than their best living condition – this means no suffering and no misery, no marginalization, no poverty, no famine, no crime, no violence, no abuse and no harm will exist or be allowed.

•   By covering everyone’s Best for All condition, we ensure that no one seeks to deliberately abuse to create a relationship of power and control. This s the foundation of actual freedom between individuals, which is only able to exist if Everyone is Equally supported to Live in a Free condition, in other words not being bound by undemocratic rules and regulations, but instead implementing a Living System  based on a Universal Principle: Equality as Life, translated as ‘Give as you would like to Receive,’ ‘Love your Neighbor as Yourself, ‘ ‘Investigate all things and keep what’s best,’ ‘Do onto others as you would like them to do onto you,’ which are the pillars of our morality and ethics of Life in Equality.

• No one will be ever again a slave as someone that is forced and coerced to perform jobs or activities that he/she does not want to do but has no other option because of needing money in a desperate manner. Within this, we will consider that all those ‘shitty jobs’ that no one wants to do will have to be done by ourselves, taking responsibility for what we used to enslave others to do for us, this is an example of how Self Responsibility in fact creates a state of freedom where no one is subjugated to do jobs/ work that they don’t want to do only because they ‘need the money.’ No one will be sacrificed for the greater good, since sacrifices imply abuse and abuse cannot exist if everyone is always living in the best condition possible.

• Being self determined and actually free with full authority upon our reality can only exist in a system where Self-Honesty is established as the basic mechanism that ensures the functionality of our society at a social, political and economic level, which means that every single word, every single action and social/political/economic system that we create must be engineered to ensure that each one’s living condition is granted and satisfied within the principle of What’s Best for All. This is how an actual evolution and development can take place in humanity, where we  focus on learning how to live and coexist as equals, deliberately changing our intrusive and abusive nature to become beings that are worthy of life and able to give to honor and trust each other by virtue of being equally participating to generate the common well being.

in-law (nlô)

n. A relative by marriage.

I was sharing a funny story today about the video below with a friend of mine and some of the details were about a drive from my house to my in-laws house…which is a pretty good distance.

Now, I know that when I say “in-law”, we all get different pictures in our heads and we’ve all had quite a bit different experiences as well.  There are jokes galore.

A lot of us have heard the term, “Monster-In-Law” and most of us have seen the movie Meet the Parents.  We get that there’s been some less than stellar relationships out there.

 

So…my story.

THEY ARE NOT MY IN-LAWS.

Referencing the federal Defense of Marriage Act as it practicably exists today, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg noted that

They’re not — they’re not a question of additional benefits. I mean, they touch every aspect of life. Your partner is sick. Social Security. I mean, it’s pervasive. It’s not as though, well, there’s this little federal sphere and it’s only a tax question. It’s — it’s — as Justice Kennedy said, 1,100 statutes [related to marriage alone], and it affects every area of life (emphasis added).

I maintain – despite my personal feelings on the broader issues involved – that the State has no constitutional or otherwise legitimately wielded authority to even be involved in the issue of marriage at all given that it is a voluntary institution of reciprocal devotion and a compact between individuals that far predates government.  But I additionally posit that Justice Ginsburg’s remarks analogously characterize just how unjustly invasive and behaviorally questionable the government’s presence in our lives has grown.  Justice Ginsburg’s remarks could and should be just as easily applied to “nanny” statism, economic protectionism and interventionism, the growing surveillance/police state, political egalitarianism, and the like.

If one supports the notion that the government should mind its own (very limited) business where, say, peaceful firearms ownership is concerned then one must necessarily support the notion that the government has no business in the peaceful domestic affairs of consenting adults, and vice-versa.  To deny this simple axiom is to implicitly support perpetuation of the ever growing special interest sectioning that is effectively eroding individual liberty and prosperity far more efficiently than any foreign enemy ever could.

So what does it all mean? Well, I’m here to tell you.

The Human Rights Campaign, an organization that supports gay marriage, has started a successful social media frenzy about the support of gay marriage. The Supreme Court will be ruling on the subject over the next couple of days. The first day of hearings began yesterday, March 26, 2013, at 8:30am in Washington, D.C. Yesterday, the Human Rights Campaign, asked it’s followers to support gay marriage by “painting the town red.” They are asking their supporters to wear red, display the equal sign as their default, attend events, and follow them on Twitter and Facebook for the latest information.

Everywhere you look, people are showing their support.

According to the newsfeed on TIME, “The photo has racked up more than 25,000 likes and 78,000 shares on the group’s Facebook page in the past 24 hours.” The court is discussing California’s Proposition 8, which takes away the right for same-sex couples to marry. Later, arguments will be heard about the Defense of Marriage Act, which has legally made marriage between a man and a woman since 1996.

Enjoy this video. Court reporters are the building personalities for Captioners!

An interesting item in the video is that it’s the telveision captioning itself that captions the video too. Working well.

And when someone mentions Internet captioning – it’s quite importan to note that the new CVAA law only applies to TV on the Internet, not to all the huge amount of media on the Internet other than TV.

Acting in Common Sense is ensuring that What is best for All is integrated as part of our comprehension of reality, and implemented as the basis of our interaction and work done to ensure that our individual participation considers at all times everyone involved, always ensuring Life is honored in Equality.

Problem                                                               

• A succinct definition of  ‘Common Sense’  in a dictionary is: ‘good sense and sound judgment in practical matters’- however this single statement has been diverted by ideologies, beliefs and opinions from various intellectual realms that taint what should be physically evident to every single person  in order to ensure that ‘what is Good’ is considered as What’s Best for All in Equality, which is the definition of  what Common Sense Is in our physical reality.

  One can do a simple research on the definition of  ‘Common Sense’ in Wikipedia and get to see what the imposition of the human mind as intellect upon physical reality has made of this simple factual understanding of  how life in this physical reality and who we are as physical organisms require a constant supply of resources and living conditions to continue living in the best possible condition for All participants – that’s common sense. 

“Separation is loss of physical common sense”
– Bernard Poolman 

• The Problem is Who and What we have accepted and allowed ourselves to become As the Mind where we always require to place a Value, a qualification, a category to assess something based on theories,  and appraise reality according to mind created schemes of ‘worth’ based on conventions that disregard physical reality, measuring  it according to the Experiences generated at a mind level only. This is how People claim that ‘what’s best for me might Not be what’s best for you’ – this is where preferences, beliefs, ideologies or mere desire to be special opposes the commonality of a solution that leads to a mathematical certainty of what is Best for All.

• An example is how Education is regarded as ‘Good’ for all in our society, hence Education becomes Common sensical for individuals as part of their development in society. Yet  we don’t question what such Education is based upon and if it is in fact leading to generate what is Best for All. It is ‘Good’ according to suiting an individual to be functional and have the necessary means to live, to become a competitive person in a world where the amount of knowledge you have determines ‘your status’ and level of income to sustain yourself –however, if such education is not available to you, you are not part of such ‘common sense’ because money is not part of your basic support to live. This ‘good’ consideration of Education is thus not lived and applied Common Sense as it exist now, because:

1. Education is not available for every single person as an indispensable process of becoming an effective member in our society.

2. What is currently taught in schools is not leading to a Best for All outcome. Instead it perpetuates the separation by teaching knowledge and information that is Not practical and that keeps the system ‘as is’ without pondering first why we haven’t yet created a world wherein every person is equally supported – instead common sense is limited to those that have enough money to live and be educated – not Everyone is counted in.

3. Education does not lead to a ‘good sense’ but an elitist and sectarian sense where some are trained to be leaders, some are trained to be followers/slaves and some are absolutely let out of the Equation – thus the foundation of our Common Sense learned in schools is in fact not common sense as what’s Best for all in Equality.

• Common Sense at the moment is still existent as a condition based on probability and opportunism based on ‘where’ in the world you live in, your gender, your intellect, your religion, your familial status, our economic status, your environment, politics, education – it is not a readily given and guaranteed point of support. The same goes with every other aspect we can consider is necessary for every human being that is not provided because of the interests  – monetary ones – that are still guarded as ‘more important’ than providing every individual with the necessary means and ways to earn money and support themselves. This means that programs like ‘Defending your country against Terrorism’ gets more funds than Educating people to be active participants that change the world. This proves that common sense is subject to monetary interests at this stage, not to generate a general uplift where actual well being exists for all beings.

• It is evident and clear that no common sense exists in our world, otherwise we would have prevented the crisis that we are currently facing at all levels in our reality. Yet we understand that this is an Educational flaw that begins by the conception of who we are as individuals in this world, believing ourselves to be separate beings that are supposed to only care after themselves and disregard the whole as one and equal as who we are. We have been taught to only seek for our individual well being and self interest and disregard everyone else. That is the truth of our reality, that is what we have become.

Solution                                                           

“Common Sense should be the senses nature based on what is common and thus equal for all, yet it has been tainted by capitalism, religion, consumerism, education, the religion of self and many more dividing man into singularities of self interest with no concern for the common good. The evidence is clear: Unless common sense is that which is best for all as the only acceptable definition of common good, you have been misguided into a possession of self interest and will not be able to stand up and change yourself or the world. Investigate what is best for all and become that as your inner being that the outer may manifest. Then you are rebirthing for real. Investigate Desteni, where self interest is finally transformed into Common Sense as it should have been for each child from Birth.” – Bernard Poolman

• What is Common Sense is to give to each other what we require to live, and support each other back as a living understanding of who we are are not islands that can function individually without support from others. Our society and world system is currently functional because of everyone’s participation, yet it is not existing in the best way possible because many are left out of such equation of support.

• Common Sense applied as an economic model, a social organization standard and a Political Principle implies an actual guaranteed living condition for every single being in our reality, because that is what is Best for All, creating a Life-Support System wherein all parts are enhanced to live in the most effective way. Common Sense is in fact another pillar in our Equality System proposal, because our individual well being is guarded when we look after Everyone and Everything’s well being in an equal manner.

• We can understand from this physical Common Sense realization that there’s no intellect required to define what is best for all, since best for all entails a physical and mathematical assessment of  what is it that we require as physical beings to have our physiological and psychological needs satisfied.
• Please read the blog 331. What is Best for All in Equal Money Capitalism to get the details on this.

• Creating a satisfactorily living condition for all in an Equal Money Capitalistic System means that the ways to make money will be guaranteed by each individual in Equality according to their skills and what they want to work and contribute with. What is Best for All is that everyone gets an Equal Profit Share of the work done, everyone gets access to the best Education where people will be prepared to develop themselves to their utmost potential, have access to all basic Public Services, have all the necessary means to develop our living expression as a matter of fact, by physically enabling us to be in a living-mode and no longer in a survival mode.

“Common Sense is the Result that is Best for All Life in All Ways” – Bernard Poolman

Rewards                                                  

• No more Hunger, no more Abuse, no more exploitation of resources, no more flora and fauna abuse in self interest of ‘what’s best for a few,’ no more Discrimination, no more Violence, no more Racism  or Sexism, no more Social Statuses or Intellectual Segregation because every single individual will have access to that which is Common Sense to create a sound living condition for everyone, not only humans, but Animals, Plants, the ecosystem as a whole within the understanding that who we are is not only a ‘One’ individual but a whole that must coexist within the principles of doing onto another what we would like to be done onto and investigating all things to keep what’s Best for All.

• Education will become the platform and main tool to ensure this Common Sensical living reality is lived and implemented by all at an individual level from birth and lived till death.

• Knowledge and information will be useful to cross-reference results that lead to a Best for All outcome, this will be done within the understanding that there can be no ‘power’ exerted from holding information that stagnates the entire society from developing in a sound manner. If we progress, it won’t be a sectarian progress but a communal living effort where we ensure no one is left behind.

I think I have an analogy for the world, a comparison, a similarity….Okay, I don’t really know what it is so I’m going to begin with a bit a backstory. A setting up of the punch line if you may.

As some of you may know I am a nanny for triplets, all girls. I’ve been taking daily care of them for fours years now. As many of you may not know, caring for triplets and or raising them is quite different from raising a singleton, twins, or several kids of different ages. It comes with many disadvantages but also its fair share of positives. I love my job and have gained so much life experience by being able to submerge myself into the family mould both by becoming family member but also an observer. Everyday get to see the challenges a family/marriage must face from a relatively non-bias point of view. Is it a beautiful thing to witness but also somewhat tragic. I see how much the outside world affects who you are as a person. When I started watching the girls were barley speaking, they had such a limited vocabulary because they had developed their own language to talk amongst themselves, they spoke triplet. This quickly changed as I talk A LOT and was spending upwards of 10hrs a day with them. They were quick to learn from me.

As they grew older and their vocabulary grew larger I tried to teach them as best I could to be understanding of others. I love to see them standing up to anyone who uses a colour as an adjective to describe as person.

“People are not colours.”  They say.

“What?” Confused bystander.

“They’re just people.” They smile and continue on.

This is not a dramatization this has happened many times, they are expremely vocal to and about their surroundings.

I’ve Mentioned before in a post but I think it’s important to repeat that we have also discussed things like same-sex relationships, adoption, poverty, charity, amputations, metal disabilities, crime, recycling, aliens, religion, racism, and hate among a plethora of other things. Now I want you to understand we don’t sit down and say, “Today we are going to talk about same sex relationships.”
No, they always initiate it by asking a question about something that is abnormal or different to them. I answer them in the way I would have wanted to be answered when I was a child. They responded greatly to this. Now that they have begun school some of this teaching has been damaged by opinions of their peers and their peers personal family ideal, however I do still see more empathy and compassion in their souls then most adults and I hope the world doesn’t keep breaking it down.

I seem to have gotten a little off track but as I said this is the back story to this epic analogy to describe equality and the lack their of it (if you haven’t guessed yet, the triplets are involved ;p )

About 20 min ago I was telling my best friend about my day with the girls and how I painted all three of their nails. I told her how they always want to have the exact same colour and exact same pattern as their sisters have (this happens when we do crafts as well) Today I didn’t let the girls see each others nails until they were all completed and each had picked different patterns and colours. I had a realization that they all wanted to be the same because in their mind “same= equal”, “equal=same”. They always want the same amount of attention and praise, and if one receives an extra praise for her beautiful nails then they see that girl as somehow more important or better. AHA! So much of the fighting, arguing and frustration they have with their sisters makes sense now. That being said, I feel like it will be hard to break this habit, but I hope to stress to them that different doesn’t stand for better… or worse for that matter.

Now here’s the analogy, the comparison, the similarity. The triplets are really just a miniature version of our current world. People believe and most likely have always believed and may possibly continue to believe that difference creates inequality. That to have equality you must have sameness, that we Must all believe the same thing, perceive the same, see the same to be equal.

I would like to dispute this!

I believe the core quality of equality is acceptance. If there must be any sameness, let it be that we all treat everything in is world as if  all on the same level. Every single thing on this planet deserves respect and love from the smallest grain of sand to the last star in the Sky. It may seem like such a large, exaggerated, unimaginable expectation but that is how open my mind is.
Equality = acceptance of difference + love x compassion. Such a simple equation.

I want to leave you with this unwisdom challenge of the day, of the month, of your life.

Take a moment, now or later, tomorrow or ten years from now. Just take a moment and let go of every assumption you have about the world. i mean absolutely everything you ASSUME you know. You may be surprised to find that you know nothing at all. Freeing isn’t it?

Peace and love and equality

Self Responsibility is Not taught at home or in school, yet it’s the Key to actual Freedom where our participation ensures what’s Best for All – and this is Why when we speak about being One Vote for World Equality, it means I am Standing up as a Self Responsible being willing to partake in the necessary processes to implement a new living reality where All Life is Honored and I Agree to Give as I would like to Receive in Equality – this is Actual Living Words – not fighting, hoping or dreaming.

 

Self Responsibility is one of the Key Elements of Equal Money because it implies individual participation in the corrections that must take place in our world to create a living reality that is favorable for all as Equals. This is what many other proposals for ‘World Change’ lack, which is why it is of utmost importance to Understand at a practical level what it implies in terms of Self Education, Practical Skills and Living Comprehension of our Thoughts, Words and Deeds as our direct intervention within the creation of a World that’s Best for All, as this is an Equal Participatory System where we restore our ability to be Trusted with Life.

• 332. Word Policy in Equal Money Capitalism
  • 331. What is Best for All in Equal Money Capitalism
  • 333. Life = Money in Equal Money Capitalism
  • 334. Equality in Equal Money Capitalism
  • 335. Money in Equal Money Capitalism

Problem                                                               

• Being Part of this world entails being Aware of and Know how everything functions in order to Act in a Self-Responsible manner toward all parts, all beings and conduct one’s life within the Principle of What’s Best for All. But, are we Educated to be Self Responsible or are we Taught to Only Focus on that which ‘fulfills’ our lives and disregard the rest? Is our Freedom dependent on our ability to Stand as a Self Responsible being?

• Responsibility is a Feared world, because that’s what we’ve been taught to do. See, when we require ‘Someone Else’ to Take Responsibility for Ourselves, we then comply to the belief of us needing or requiring a Government, an Authority to take care of us. This is the Paternalist idea that is ingrained from the beginning of our lives within the Family System, then teachers in the Schooling System, then Politicians in the Social System and Gods or ‘Higher Forces’ in the Spiritual realms wherein the Human Being has become a specialist on generating ‘superior’ beings and ‘authorities’ to Not have to recognize one’s Authority as in being the Author of all the Consequences we are witnessing in our reality today.

• When we confront the Change that is required to be directed in our world that is about to collapse due to our participation in it, we tend to veer toward the ‘Authorities’ to solve it for us, some others hope that some God or Jesus come and save us, some others simply refrain from being informed about what is going on in this world to not have to ‘Feel Bad’ about the situation we’re living in, yet there is Never a sense of Self Responsibility within the current conditions we’re facing as our society as the recognition and realization of us being Equal Participants and the direct actors that have co-created the mess we are currently living in.

• Blame is poured over ‘The System’ or ‘The Government’ or ‘The Corporations’ or ‘The Banking System’ but we Rarely want to admit the fact that it is every single one of us that is In Fact ‘The System,’ and every single action of the individuals we perceive as the ‘Villains’ of our day to day living are in reality only the executors of an individual narrative of actions that exist only as Self Interest, the Pursuit of only one’s happiness and having a ‘Good Life’ as long as money is available for our benefit. Fighting, protesting, retaliating against the system is Not the way to follow in order to ‘Change the World,’ if anything it only Upgrades the level of Control and Limitation to ensure that no one attempts to disrupt the order kept by the hands of a few.

• Rights are ‘Fought for’ instead of understanding that we have Violated our Right to Life the moment that we disregard the fact that Our Lives depend on the Well Being of Every Single Person in this world, every single Animal, Plant an molecule that comprises this reality that we coexist with. How can we Ask for ‘Our Rights’ when our most Vital form of Life – which is Every Single Breath – is taken without awareness while being in The Mind scheming ways to make More than your neighbor, thinking about How to make the most, how to trump the rest, how to get away with murder, how to satisfy one’s own desires without a care of the consequences such selfish actions create in the ‘bigger picture’ that is our world.

Solution                                                           

• Self Responsibility implies individual responsibility and collective responsibility – it is the realization of the Self as All as One and Equal. It is becoming beings that use what is here taking into consideration the outflows and consequences of such actions toward a best for all outcome to maintain and sustain this living organism as the world – everyone is then equally responsible as we are all equally here
•  
• Shouldn’t it be then clear by now that it is in the Recognition and Admittance of Self Responsibility that our Real Power exist as society? ‘Think’ about it,if Each Individual stands as a Self Responsible being: We Don’t Require ‘Father/Mother State’ to take care of us, because we will hold each one’s best Interest as our Own.  The only reason why we have been Indoctrinated to Fear Responsibility is because that is the Key to our actual Freedom, because when standing as Equals in Self Responsibility, the world system does not require Force, or a ‘Superior power’ to take care of ourselves, because our thoughts, words and deeds will be Lived as Self Responsibility within the Principle of What’s Best for All Life.
•  
• This Process of Self Change is in fact taking back the point of Authority, the point of Power and Self-Direction that we have Abdicated through the acceptance and allowance of an ‘External Political force¿ being required to ‘take care of us.’ This Process of Self Realization of being One and Equal as Life, and realizing the Authority as in being the co-creators of this Reality is the Key to re-establish our Individuality as Self-Directive beings that have the actual Power to change how things work in this world.

• Self Responsibility entails existing as a Self Directed, Self Willed being that is able to Take Responsibility for the Creation that we have currently framed ‘outside of our own responsibility’ and Integrate its correction as our Own personal process of  Self Responsibility toward ourselves, each other and every aspect that we participate in either in a direct or indirect manner. This implies the following:

• When we speak about Self Responsibility, the SELF is encompassing All Life as One and Equal which means that in order to Act, Live and Think in a Responsible Manner- this implies being aware of how our own participation affects the whole, but also having Practical Skills and Knowledge in order to act in accordance to that which is Best for All.

• All relevant knowledge that prepares a being to be a functional person in our society is required as part of our Educational Curriculum. This is unlike anything we are currently informed about in our ‘Official schooling,’ we are talking about understanding how our basic services function:  Food Production, Hygiene and Health Care and basic Self-Support Medicine and Preventive measures , Nutritional Habits, knowing about Water Resources, Animal Care, Electricity generation, Waste management, extraction, production/ manufacture of our goods to generate a Self-Responsibility toward our Consumption, Building skills, Agriculture, Parental Skills and Education, Recycling,  Weather functionality in relation to the cycles that affect all species on Earth, Self Understanding of one’s own Mind and Physical body, Local Communal Planning for resources and food production, best Transportation methods, Food Storage, Psychological diseases and Self-Support to work with them, all of this based on the Realization of our own actions being directly linked to creating a Best for All world where our understanding of the Functionality of the System creates individuals that are Independent yet Interdependent while Honoring Each Other’s Lives.

• Educating Children with all of the skills, knowledge and awareness on the list above will result in a New Human being wherein Self Responsibility is Integrated as our renewed Human Nature by our Ability to discern at all times what is the Best Way to Act, Live and Speak that is in accordance to that which will Ensure that every part is regarded as Equal and No Harm or Abuse is able to be lived-out, as Consequences will be known beforehand as a way to Prevent getting ourselves again to the current state we’re living in today.

“We should study everything that we did so far and how we did it, so we can walk back, undo it and keep it as an example of how not to think about the world, as the environment, economy, infrastructure, education, parenting and each other, next time we set out to build something as big as world systems that impact the life of all living beings, earth included – that must in fact work for all and not just for some.” – Eleonora Gozzini

• Self Forgiveness is the written action and physical living statement to take Self Responsibility for what we have become, to create a new starting point ensuring that we take part in the correction of that which we have neglected, destroyed and abused in the name of our individual interest and personal pursuit of happiness. Self Forgiveness in Self Honesty is the way to walk a Life of Self-Correction, Self Education on all of the points mentioned here which will lead to a new Human Nature that is Yet to be born, and that is what we call Birthing Life from the Physical: becoming beings that Regard Life as Oneself, as All and ensure that every being and part of our existence is equally Honored the same way we want to Honor ourselves. 
  
• For further support on how to Walk this Process: Desteni Lite Process is the first step to begin grasping the importance of Self Education and Self Responsibility within the Understanding of Equal Money as a Living-Change that is proposed at a Political Level by each Individual’s Power to Decide what is Best for All – true Democracy entails 1+1= 2  – Power can Only Exist in Equality.

• Our Responsibility is thus to become Politically Active  Individuals that are Educated with the Principles of Self Responsibility in order to be able to Act and Propose a new way to Live regarding Life as the one and only and real Value that exists, where Money is no longer the driving force of everything we act, do and speak of – instead Life in Equality becomes the Living Principle of our day to day living on this Earth.

• Equal Rights = Equal Responsibilities, this is the Self Honesty principle that will be the direct assurance of our security, our enjoyment, our actual physical care for one another once that we understand that the world we want to live in and the world that we have all ‘Hoped’ for must be Practically and Actually Worked for to be Created and Maintained, which is why each individual’s participation in it is so vital to understand that we Cannot delegate responsibility as that implies our own enslavement.

• Life in Equality means actual Freedom and Freedom can only exist in Self Responsibility and a True Democracy can only Exist if Each Individual is Equally Empowered by their own ability to stand as a Self Responsible being in Society.

Reptilians – The Force of Good (Part 2) – Part 95

Lucy Meadows was a primary school teacher who died this week. It’s thought she took her own life. She’d lived most of her life as Nathan Upton, and had only recently made a public transition to a gender with which she identified.

David Allen Green has posted a good summary of the circumstances, in which he discusses the negative attention the mainstream press had often applied to Lucy Meadows, and to people who fall outside of standard accepted gender norms more generally.

That particular round-up notably doesn’t mention a column by Richard Littlejohn, which was published in the Mail last December, but quietly vanished from their online archive in the last few days. Almost as if what they thought they could get away with saying about her while she was alive, suddenly seems grossly insensitive now that she’s dead.

David’s chosen not to focus on Littlejohn in particular, because this diminishes the extent to which numerous other newspaper columnists and editors are guilty of exactly the same cruelty and inhumanity on a regular basis. Also, the Samaritans have been reminding people of their media guidelines for the reporting of suicide, in the wake of some commentators being overly hasty and certain in apportioning a direct causative link, or even absolute blame. Richard Littlejohn may be a terrible human being, but nobody has the authority to reliably declare that he drove anyone to suicide.

Taking one’s own life is rarely, I suspect, a simple decision resulting from an easily comprehensible mindset. Understanding what’s going on in other people’s heads is a challenge at the best of times, let alone when the actions they’re taking are quite so far removed from my own. (I hope that ending your life is a distant and unrelatable premise for all of you reading this, as well. Even if not, I imagine you’re well aware that your demons are your own, and not automatically shared and understood by anyone else who experiences any similar turmoil.) It’s good advice, to avoid being too sweeping in our declarations of what it was that pushed someone we never knew personally over the edge.

But this sensible advice leaves one aspect of the whole unpleasant business not fully addressed.

And that aspect is that Richard Littlejohn is a terrible human being.

I can’t do anything to help Lucy Meadows now. But I can repeat this fact.

I say this without holding Littlejohn the slightest bit culpable for the death of Lucy Meadows. Whether or not his column directly affected her life, or indirectly contributed to a culture of prejudice and othering in which she eventually couldn’t bear to live another day, is not for me to say.

But even if we stipulate that Richard Littlejohn is not responsible for her death – even if Lucy Meadows had managed to live a full and happy life – what he wrote about her would still be loathsome and despicable.

The fact that she took her own life is, of course, the primary tragedy, the one point of real significance. But it’s not the only relevant factor to my assessment of a thousand-word article in a widely read national newspaper, devoted exclusively to demeaning and vilifying a troubled individual who’d done nothing to deserve it.

He asks us to think about “the devastating effect all this is having on those who really matter”, explicitly declaring that Lucy Meadows herself didn’t matter a damn to him. He bewails the primary school children’s being “forced to deal with the news”, as if to give kids a chance to learn about people different from themselves were to inflict on them some form of bereavement or abuse. He calls it “selfish” for her to go back to the same school she used to teach at, rather than moving away just so that her freakish aberration didn’t bother anyone.

This from someone who claims to have “every sympathy” for those who undergo gender realignment surgery. Littlejohn seems to think he’s a compassionate and understanding person, who’s simply standing up against those values being taken too far. When you’re standing up against compassion and understanding because you’ve found someone who doesn’t deserve it, that’s called bullying.

Littlejohn quotes the way teachers discussed things with Mr Upton’s class, and explained that Miss Meadows would be teaching them in the future:

Teachers told them that Mr Upton felt he had been “born with a girl’s brain in a boy’s body” and would henceforth be living as a woman.

If I ever have children, and I find myself discussing transgender people with them, I imagine that might be pretty close to what I say. I think I’d certainly talk about the differences between how you feel inside, and how you look on the outside, the relative importance of each, and the way they can both affect each other – I might use their mother’s tattoos as a familiar example, to talk about your body acting as an adaptable, malleable reflection of your internal self.

I don’t think they’d have too much trouble getting the hang of it. If we’ve raised them well up to that point, and encouraged a basic level of tolerance and acceptance and humanism, then I don’t see why they’d be “worried and confused”, let alone “devastated”. It’s only Littlejohn who still finds it too much to get his head around.

(Exactly the same argument, of course, has been made about openly gay teachers, among members of other professions. I wouldn’t expect a conversation about homosexuality with my kids to last more than five minutes, should the need arise. It’s a lot simpler than many right-wing bigots seem to think.)

The point is: Littlejohn’s article is full of the kind of wilful ignorance that makes the world a worse place, even without laying the death of an innocent teacher at his feet.

The end of the story for Lucy Meadows is awful and saddening. But this article was vile and horrendous on the day it was published, even when she was still trying to forge a new life for herself. You don’t need to wait to find out how the story ends to see that.
