Just take a look at your “country”, and ask: Does the government work for you or for themselves? It is very easy to blind the population, most of us are sheep believing what others say without questioning. Why? We are afraid.

1. Afraid we could be wrong, instead of accepting your perfect human nature of imperfection.
2. Afraid we have to take responsibility for our actions, instead of blaming others for our failures.
3. Afraid to confront the truth, instead of being constantly drunk with excuses and lies.

People who work for themselves, and never taking in account the others are corrupt.

Why? Corruption means dishonesty.

You are not honest if you believe working at the government is so you can live better, public service means to serve the public… Let’s make it clear: Not to serve yourself by pretending you are working for others. 
Of course, if you honestly work with great devotion to others, you should be rewarded… However, the reward comes after you have given to others:

Remember: The more you give, the more you get.  Give, and you shall have.

Getting that clear, we must then think a little more about liberty… Is freedom given by a country or can you live trapped although living in a “free” country? There will always be a “trap” where you live, people may be selfish, and therefore influence their surroundings, so you may not be able to do what you should. Is there a lack of freedom there? Where does your liberty end, and where does mine start? Well…

Let’s give it another focus. Freedom as we have stated it for so long, does depend on our exterior world. However, the reality of freedom is that it does not depend on “the outer world” but deeply inside you. People may steal your whole, they may degrade your voice, and even try to rape your spirit, but they cannot touch your inner self if you don’t let them.
Yes, I know, this sounds too idealist but think about it. At the end, death will only knock on your door, leaving your body behind…
Let’s assume freedom only depends on your inner self…

Show your arguments against me… Make this world a better place, and think about it thoroughly. Don’t be just “like the herd”! THINK! ONCE AND AGAIN! Make a difference! Please!

Then, ask yourself:

• Where does your freedom start and mine end?
• Can freedom be gained?
• Can you develop freedom from your own attachments and obsessive behaviors?
• If you are constantly tormented by your conscience are you free from yourself?
• Can you be free from yourself?
• If you act according to your greatest sense of humanity and love, can you be free from your own judgments?
• If you judge others, can you later judge yourself for the same issues when acting as you had previously judged?
• If I treat you with respect, are you giving and providing freedom?
• Is freedom only external or also internal?
• How does freedom from yourself mean?
• Does it mean to be selfish or giving?
• What is freedom?
• Can you really live freedom?
• How does freedom relate to the truth and love?

Can you see it? It does not matter if you live in a free country, you are not free from your selfishness and suffering.

How can you be free, truly free? Is living in a free country enough? Is that country really free? NO! It is not free because each person living in that country is not free from itself.

Let’s think about freedom with new eyes, and let’s realize that you are not free. You are trapped in the routine established by those who gain from it, in the illusion of happiness while you are surrounding of so much suffering, in the lies of the media and advertising so you may happily be asleep while your life slips away from you, and in so many other killing doses of “freedom” that actually in time makes it harder to take that terrible sleeping pill that convert us into drunken/drugged sheep who do not have/want the time to think.

WAKE UP!

Can’t you see there is a fire in your garden? Can’t you see… we are all burning in pain?

WAKE UP! Let’s make change possible by looking at the mirror….!!!

Why do we want to destroy who we are?

I suppose this does not only happen against nature. We also act constantly against ourselves without being aware of it.

The path of self-distruction is not to hate, but to act upon your hatred. For example, you may hate a movie, but it will stop there. You won’t destroy a cinema because they showed a movie that does not follow your belief system.

It is the same thing inside of our minds…

We may even hate parts of us, but hate and love have the same root: You care about something enough to hate it or love it. So, how to find a balance in so many “opposites”?

01We tend to compare things in the same sphere of consciousness, when things are not like that. For example, love can be compared to hate as an opposite if you see love as a feeling. However, if you understand love as a state of being, then it may be harder to compare it with being hateful.

02 Our definitions represent the image we have created of those concepts. Therefore, a comparison is just valid using your own internal processed ideas about what is being compared. Even though, we use dictionaries, those lack the deepness of a human being discovering the reality beyond our communication systems.

It is very easy to say: Hate is the opposite of love, but is that the truth? In what extent of awareness it may be, and when do they begin to unite each other?

This all happens because we are living in a society full of “I AM WHO MY MEMORIES TELL ME I AM”.

That’s ok if that’s what you believe is enough if you don’t want to ask more questions, and you don’t want unveil the truth behind our confusion. Those memories can help us to elaborate complex thought systems that break our traditional systems of communication or those memories can entrap us in as sheep in a herd going no where.

It is strange, but instead of using thought system to understand communication. We use our thought system to break and fragment communication. The tool that should help us unite us through dialog becomes a method of division. Should we investigate this further?

We use a dictionary, but those terms are so vague that at the end our interpretation of reality varies in such a way that peace is no where to be found.

For example: If conclude that egoism is good, and famine is good if it is not yours. You might believe that imprisonment of the body is not good, but because you are free and although others may be trapped, you really do not care.

How come you do not act when seeing others in a state where you believe is not good? How can you believe that something is good in one perspective, but not in another one? What is the problem with words that they do not seem to reach a real consensus?

Do you know what the term good mean? Yes, you might be tempted to define through the use of a dictionary, but… Is good, a very relative term, an easy term to define?

To become aware of this fact changes the way you see the world because our perception is biased by our conditioning.

A child sometimes can see beyond because although they are not aware of the complexities of thought and language, they realize what we have lost… A sense of wonder that brings us back to the present moment that can be translated into a sense of fullness and profound goodness, one that is beyond any dictionary definition.

For example, those who don’t believe in being good to others surely haven’t found the truth beyond their own thoughts and beliefs. These people might not understand what does the concept to be good really mean. They still must ask more questions to find the fulfillment of a joyous of life.

It is a serious matter, don’t take it lightly, it is unfair to continue this way. What will our future generations remember us for? Our acts of self-destruction? Because when we contaminate, it is not killing just us, but everything that surrounds us.

Take as an example smoking, those who die first may not be the smoker, but the little daughter that spends her time with her dad who smokes.

Can you see the lack of awareness due to their own concepts and lack of wonder? Please, let her live… Let us live. Let us have a wonder future before it is too late for us to correct what blind adults have done.

01 Society will be solely a power game. It doesn’t matter if it is communist or capitalist. People fighting and controling in the name of justice or equity, but really doing it for the power, commodity, and money. Those “who have a lot” will want others ‘who don’t have a lot”, to have less, so those “who have a lot” may have even more and more.

We will live a lot more of war if we don’t begin changing ourselves, and a lot of suffering. How can you expect to live in peace if you don’t have peace in your heart?

I don’t want to think this will be the way we will end up to realize that we cannot continue on this self-destructive path to gain security through egoism. I wish we could fly away, reach the skies, and begin a new morning where human beings understand the spectrum of their actions.

02Society will see how an egoist life will destroy the earth. As a consequence, people will understand how beautiful it is to be generous. Those “who have a lot” will stop wanting more, but finding ways of giving others in a rational and well thought way. One thing is to work for your food, and another thing is to be corrupt and brainwash people so what you sell is bought.

The best way to go out of this mess it is to understand our innerself, and discover who are we? Why do we do what we do?

Always remembering, we will someday die, and leave a world for those who don’t know why we left it that way. Always remembering, security does not come into living a “better life”, but with an understading of who are you, why are you doing what you do, why are you here, and where are you doing?

Security comes into being when peace is in your heart, and how does peace come into heart? Where does love lie in your heart?
