What can we do to create a wiser and passion driven society? How can we think in ways our predecessors haven’t ever imagined? Well, simple or complex, we require the will to see beyond the taught.

A strong will can transform the world, the issue here is… How do we use our will?

To create “a better for all” or a “I need from” world? … It is not about forcing a way of life to all, but to create opportunities, so each person can follow their passion always taking in account the best interest of their self, families, society, country, and world.

We have been “taught” that:
If you don’t work for money, you are/will be poor. If you are poor, you will be inferior, you will have less opportunities, and so, you will feel bad about yourself.

Well, let’s breakdown this idea:

01Money was used as a way to exchange things. What happened many years later? We created complex systems (economic models and games) depending on the representation it created. It actually is a very good idea. To use a symbol “who used to be backed up in gold” (right now, it is not) to obtain what I need, if you don’t want what I have to offer.

02These models depend on our ability to predict human behavior, if our common behavior changes, then our models will begin to shake. It is supposed each time a variable is added, reduced or anyway changed, the model has to undertake some kind of scrutiny. That is one of the hidden layers of artificial intelligence, inside our mathematical models.

03I mean… Our brains are models used over and over, but as those need to change we do, too. Therefore, as our brain does, any kind of model needs to change if imminent. Somehow we believe variables (numbers/symbols) are the only ones to change, but that is not true. We do this because it gives us a sense of knowing and understanding, so we feel secure about our knowledge.

04If we feel secure, then we psychologically will feel stable. For how long can this go? Until, the environment becomes so unstable, so we begin to crumble down in the form of an economic meltdown, civil wars, etc.

05Life has patterns, but they evolve; this means we should be in a state of awareness in which we can oversee the consequence of a certain action will produce.

For example, I am greedy, I do not care about others. I believe money is happiness. In time, you know that if every person behaves like this, there will not be enough to comply everybody’s needs. Chaos will follow to raise some consciousness to the latter.

So, what should we do: A “better world for all” or a “I need world”?

You may believe, if I can have what I want, when I want it; I will be happy. I need to be rich to obtain power, influence, and to enforce my will… However, ask yourself: Why?

What is happiness? What will make me be fulfilled? Is it to have everything I wish or is it to water my garden? Is it to convince everyone to do what I want or is it to embrace my loved ones?

There is no need to exclude one from another, but to reach a balance… The way the ocean flows in peace, comes and goes, never extinguishing, always asking yourself questions to unchain ourselves:

Freedom comes from the inside-out.

Think about things thoroughly, letting the past behind to forge a future without those rusty chains of thought that have brought us into this mess.

I write in a non-specific (scientific-proven) way. Just take if it helps, drop it if not.

Do the voices control me or do I control the voices?

Those voices are conditioned by my past experiences. I see a tree. I know it is a tree because someone told me it was so. I am not focusing. I believe there is a man standing beside it, but I focus and no one is there.

Was it my mind or my senses?

This event tells me the mind is not trustworthy. My senses can trick me and my mind can create whatever it wishes. (Example: Schizophrenia)

Is there a way to discover what is real without other people as my point of reference?

There must because we will die, and alone. So, other people’s opinions or ideas are not valid at the time of death.

So, if certainty does not come from external interactions, but from inside out. How can I discover it?

Let’s explore this with our thoughts…

The fact: Thoughts are influenced by our surroundings, if we are not aware of those thoughts and how our surroundings affect them… we may end up doing things we are not passionate and happy with.

Thoughts play a very important role, but sometimes we underestimate their power. We take a thought as a reality or a fact, when a thought is one of the most ephimeral things of this world.

For example:
I see a man with big wrist watch. I want it. I see a TV ad. I want it even more.
If I ask my self: Why do I want it? Do I need it? Can I use that money for something even better?
Answer: I don’t need it. I prefer… or I want it because…
You just stopped to think, therefore your free will is in action.
On the other hand: if you did not question yourself, and just bought it… You are just a muppet of our surroundings.
Think about it.

While I believe the media is not the one to blame, but each one of us, who don’t question things and go with the flow. If we all began asking the reasons behind everything… this world would be very different; more peaceful and educated.

The media is the result of our actions, and it is the reflection of the mayority of our society. Don’t blame the media. Question your mind, and find out: Am I being controled by someone? Or am I being free and those are my elections?

Why?

Each one of us, choose how and what to absorve in the media, if we are aware of our surroundings as they unfold. It is very easy to just blame others for the way and how we are being manipulated.

However, it is a point of view I find somewhat interesting:

It is really weird because somehow people don’t relate nature with themselves, when we are actually very much the same. We are nature, as nature is in us.

Why do we want to destroy who we are?

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

Nature is us as much as we are 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 go, and destroy a cinema because they showed it. 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, 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 traditionally made communication systems.

It is strange, but instead of using thought system to break communication ones, we use communication systems to understand our thought system. I believe we can use both in a spiral, break one, understand one, and in time change our devious ways to become a better person.

Yet, even though, you conclude that egoism is good, famine is good if it is not yours, imprisonment of the body is good because you are free although others may be trapped, and living without the wonder world is good because you will live a rich life, if you have taken time to analyze yourself and question your motives, there is more truth in that than those who say to be generous and have never spent time to analyze why.

However, those who don’t believe in being good to others, surely haven’t found the truth, they still must ask themselves more questions to find the joy of life, instead of living a treat that is keeping you from having a fullfilled 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.

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.
