Bettering this World.

I keep hearing “My country!”.

I keep hearing “Our borders!”

I keep hearing “Our sovereignty!”.

I keep seeing nationalism and patriotism on the increase.

Ask yourselves, where does your food come from today.

Ask yourselves, where do your woods and metals come from.

Ask yourselves, where does your oil, gas, lithium, and plutonium come from.

Ask yourselves, where do all the minerals which make up the circuitry of the devices and machines you are so used to using come from.

Ask yourselves, where does your medicine come from.

Ask yourselves, who is digging, cutting, drilling, and mining these out for you.

Ask yourselves if it were not for the richest nations taking from the poorest nations would you be so privileged and egotistical to accuse others of wanting more. Of wanting to consume materialism as we do.

Ask yourselves are we simply repeating our past without lessons learnt. Those with power will abuse the weak of their rights, their health, and their freedoms. Just as we did to get to where we are today.

You! Millions of nobodies. Why are you blinding yourself with information which comes from power to control you. They will not create cures for your ills but pills so you may comfort their pockets as your time slips away. They will not comfort you on your deathbed.

Now listen to me! You know you are in a modern form of bondage. You will pay the debts of governments until you die. You have accepted this in return for an illusion which will guarantee the “surplus” who will come to do the same. For weighing yourself, your skills, your talents, and your time in exchange for money. Our value is not to be weighed, otherwise the pyramids foundations will always have slaves to spare and no one will ever be equal.

But there is a way. A possibility. An opportunity if only we all wake up.

Without bloodshed, without war we can galvanise this planet into a better way of life, a new philosophy of living and be prosperous. But there will be much sacrifice. If you can endure it for the coming of future generations then our legacy will keep them aiming in a better direction.

The solution is simple. It is so simple you may not see it. You will not believe in it. The Solution is to work for free with the freewill each and everyone is born with. This planet is mine as it is yours. All its resources are mine as they are yours. It is our birthright as it has been the birthright of every other living thing born or sprouted on this planet. All living things work hard and without knowing they are organised into a web of symbiotic relationships bringing prosperity to the only planet we can survive on. We are the only living thing which has upset this balance and now have reached several tipping points from where there may be no good return.

If you still cannot see how this works then do not brush this off. Please do not stop thinking about this. Figure this out even if it takes you weeks, months or even a few years. Keep coming back to this. If we do not the future is bleak and will likely end with the destruction of the most beautiful planet we have ever known. Then we will become something we hate. And finally, we are extinct.

There is much to explain and even more to discover for the prosperity of humankind.

So, take these words and repeat them everywhere. Repeat them in any way without changing its core message. Translate this and let us start bettering this World.
