Day 137: The Copyright Scam Revisited: Self Forgiveness

In the previous post we walked Self Forgiveness in relation to the point of ‘Copyright’ in having a look at what we’ve accepted and allowed that such a thing as ‘copyright’ exists, and here we’re continuing with Commitment Statements, wherein we walk the commitment to corrective application to stop the consequences we’re manifesting in this reality.

I commit myself to see, realize and understand that the human does not actually require profit/making money as motivation to create or do things, and that in the current system the promise of profit/making money is used to motivate the human to do things they would not otherwise do, in order to make money to survive. Within this, I commit myself to show everyone that would argue that the human requires profit/making money as motivation that this is not the case in fact, as it’s the fear of survival that motivates the human to commit all sorts of unspeakable acts, labor in the worst of conditions, take advantage of one’s fellow man, and rape and destroy the earth and the environment in which we live and depend on to exist, because they are not given the means with which to secure their survival which is Money, as some are given more and some are given less and some are given none and they Die.

I commit myself to question every aspect of the current economic system, within the starting point of that it should be system which functions to effectively support all of humanity, meaning that all should have a house, access to food, water, clothing, effective education and healthcare, and that if these things are not being provided effectively to every single being here, then something is very wrong with our system.

I commit myself to realize that ‘copyright’ exists as a way that one can ‘make it’ for themselves, and that within this it’s not even considered why one has to find a way to ‘make it’ and isn’t supported in the first place. Thus, I commit myself to see, realize and understand that our system should be functioning in such a way that one doesn’t have to ‘get lucky’ and find one of these few ways, which only a few humans will be actually have access to, to ‘make it’ in the system, and that that indicates a massive failure of our system to do what it is intended to do, which is to function as a life-support system for humanity and all life.

I commit myself to, when I see points within the system that seem like they benefit me as offering me the possibility to ‘make it’ in the system, to look and see if it is something that is able to be applied to everyone actually, cause if not then it is actually not a real benefit to life and myself as life, as it only serves a few while leaving everyone else out, and I might/could be one of those left out, and thus I commit myself to realize that there is no point to have a system which is only supporting some, when all require support equally, and it is actually in my best interest to ensure that no matter where I am that I am supported, as I would not want to be left out.

I commit myself to see, realize and understand that by supporting a concept/law like copyright, that I am actually supporting abuse, because I am supporting something that is not available to all and thus will only support those that have access to the opportunity while everyone else is left out, and thus I am responsible for those on the ‘losing side’ as I am supporting the very system which only includes some while leaving others out.

I commit myself to living the realization that we should have a system which is supporting everyone and all of life, as life should not be a strife, and we should not be enslaving anyone by withholding their very needs for survival, as no one would want to be in that position, and therefore I commit myself to supporting the Equal Money System, where the entire starting point principle of the system is to support all life equally, within the realization that no one should be left out, because you could be that someone, and thus by implementing a system based on equality, you give the gift to all that you want for yourself, and in that you have given it to yourself as well.

Day 105: Waiting to Stop Blame – It’s Your Fault! How Could You?

Here is where when I’ll go into a reaction of blame toward another, and think that there is just no possible way I can stop blaming them for whatever reason has come up that I’ve decided to blame them for. And I don’t even see it as a decision, it’s simply taken for granted that in such a particular situation, I’ll go into blame. That’s called a program. I’ve accepted and allowed myself to program myself to react in a pattern of blame in certain situations. A pattern of behavior which I’ve learned from early in my life from the examples I saw around me, as the adults in my world, and examples that I saw in television, movies or in stories and books, it’s quite a common behavior to see, as it’s really quite a prominent point in accepted human nature. 

So within looking at the Creation Dimension of how I created this character within myself, I can recall seeing this behavior presented in books and fairy-tales I read when little, and in how I saw adults react/act toward another in ‘real life’ in their interactions, especially my parents within their own relationship which is for most the primary relationship one is exposed to, and in television/movies, especially soap operas – along the lines of ‘How could you do this to me?’ and ‘This is all Your Fault’, where one person goes into angry reaction toward another for what has happened, and so I learned and copied this behavior in myself, and accepted it as ‘normal’ human behavior, and just a part of ‘human nature’, as it’s just ‘how we are’.

I mean, really, you’ll see this behavior everywhere, people blaming other people. We’ll do it individually, we’ll do it in groups. We’ll blame the sidewalk when we trip over it. We’ll blame the weather for spoiling our mood. I mean, it’s really a chronic behavior pattern, blame.
So what is really going on within this reaction of blame? 

Well, firstly, let’s take a look at the Fear Dimension, as the initial fear that comes up that triggers and activates this character of Blame. Typically the fear is that this person is doing something deliberately to harm/spite/take advantage of me or failed to consider how something they did would harm/disadvantage me. This fear comes from the fact that sometimes people do deliberate acts toward another to harm/take advantage, cause we’re accepting ourselves to live in a society and world where we are placed into competition against one another, because we allow an economic system which does not support all of us equally, and thus this puts us in a position where we can’t trust each other, as we’re perpetually in competition with each other and where those not effectively supported by the system, have to ‘do what it takes’. We could easily correct this situation by implementing an Equal Money System that supports all of us to have the best possible life, instead of only a few. 

This fear also comes from memories of past experiences of another doing deliberate harm/deliberately taking advantage, and where I went and took this personally, instead of considering the possible reasons why such person acted as they did, and not making a personal experience out of it, as it has nothing to do with me, but what is going on in that person’s life/mind/situation. 

Fundamentally, it’s a point of Fear of Loss, as I fear that I have now lost something as being harmed/disadvantaged in some way, and within the character of Blame, I’ve decided that this other person is responsible for that loss and that this means I’ll go into a reaction of anger, judgment, rage, annoyance, frustration, toward them. So really, the fear and the playing out of this character is all just an excuse to get to have this particular emotion/feeling/energetic reaction within myself, so I’m actually using the situation as an energy-junky to feed my mind with a certain experience, with has nothing to do whatsoever with what happened, and how to practically address/direct the situation that has occurred. So you get really mad and frustrated at the other person, and go into this whole reaction in yourself, although whatever was done is done, and there’s no going back to change it, so now you’re just creating more consequence on top of what has already occurred, and totally distracted from sorting out what is going on in actual reality. So here we’ve looked at the Reaction Dimension of the character of Blame.

Now, within the Thought Dimension, the thought that comes up is usually a picture of how things ‘would’ve gone’ if such person had not done such thing, and this picture is seen as ‘positive’ and this is then compared with how things did go, which is seen as negative, and from here, once this positive/negative judgment is validated/accepted, I have then accepted that character of Blame to activate, where I now blame that other person for ‘creating’ this negative experience for me.
In the Imagination Dimension is where I’ll play out scenes in my mind in which I imagine the other person is deliberately deciding to harm me, or how they carried out whatever it was they did in deliberateness and spitefulness toward me, wherein I’m assuming how they must’ve acted and what they must’ve been thinking. 

Then the Internal Conversation that arise within me within the Backchat Dimension is along the lines of: “How could they do this to me?” “It’s all their fault” “Why did they do this?” “Didn’t they see how this would harm/disadvantage/cause a negative experience for me?” They must’ve known how what they were doing would effect me and did it anyway!” 

Within the Physical Dimension, what takes place within my physical is a tension in the shoulders, and a heaviness in the chest area, and even the movement of my eyes will change, where I’ll look sidelong at the person, like “I don’t trust you now I need to watch you out of the corner of my eye”. And how I speak toward the person will change, where my speaking will become terse, short, and forceful, like blunt in a way, and the tonality of my voice will become more ‘hard’ and ‘edgy’. So here just a few examples of the physical possession that takes place once the Blame character is activated.

Now let’s take a look at the Dimension of Consequence of what happens when we participate in the character of Blame. So, when something happens in my world/reality where I fear I’ve been taken advantage of/harmed by another, and I go into the reaction of Blame to become the Blame Character, I go into a personal experience of feelings/emotions/thoughts/backchat all within myself, which then effect my physical body as a possession that changes my very behaviors, the words I speak, the tonalities I’ll use when speaking, how I’ll move, and then bombarding my human physical body with the emotion/feeling reactions of anger/rage/frustration that sap the resources of the physical body.

Blame has the particular consequence of giving away one’s self responsibility, and thus one diminish oneself by participating in blame, because the whole point of blame is to focus on another, instead of oneself. So, while one is busy pointing the finger at someone else, one is actually distracting oneself from the actual solution to the situation, which is oneself. Self is the solution, because it’s self that is causing the reaction in the first place, as that’s how one has accepted oneself to react in such a situation. The solution is thus to stop participating in and fueling the reaction, as the other person has nothing to do with the reaction.

And THEN, once one’s personal reaction is sorted out, can the actual situation be addressed, as to whether there is really a problem, and to work out the best solution for all involved.

And As Above, So Below, as how we treat ourselves we treat the world at large, and so when we exist as Blame within/as ourselves, how is that effecting the world? What kind of world are we creating? Well obviously everyone is busy blaming each other instead of investigating oneself and sorting oneself out first, so that we can then all work together toward solutions.

So, no more Waiting for an excuse/reason/justification to stop Blame when realizing that I am the creator of the character of Blame within myself, and of the reactions I experience, and thus I am the only one that can stop what I am creating. And in the realization of the extensive consequences created by participation in/as the character of Blaming. It never brings about any kind of solution, and only creates consequence that is of no benefit to life whatsoever.

Day 93: I Can’t Afford It - Self Forgiveness

Featured Artwork by Matti Freeman

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to make ‘not being able to afford something’ into a personal experience, wherein I’d experience anxiety at the thought of having to explain that I cannot afford something, instead of simply communicating the point that I cannot afford it, without any energy behind it, just as a simple statement of the facts.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to think/perceive that I’m doing/have done something wrong within not being able to pay, or that I have failed as a person to do what one is expected/supposed to do which is to earn a sufficient living within the system, and thus I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to take it personally as a reflection on myself of my self worth/value/effectiveness as a human being in this reality, not realizing/seeing/understanding that the current system does not allow everyone to earn a sufficient living, and thus to blame myself as an individual is ignoring the fact that it is each individual collectively that has/is agreeing upon the current system to not effectively support everyone, and thus it is not to ‘get lost’ within taking it personal and creating and going into a personal experience about it, but to rather come to understand how it is I am responsible for accepting and allowing the current system to exist as it does, and to find and implement solutions, such as exposing the ineffectiveness of the current system and the consequences of accepting and allowing it, so that all can see the common sense in rather implementing a system which supports everyone, as the Equal Money System does, so that we can stop manifesting these consequences and life can actually be able to be enjoyed by all, with none left deliberately unsupported to suffer for the sake of a few to make a profit off of the rest.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fear/resist exposing what is actually going on within the world, within the system we’re currently accepting and allowing, as it’s been humanity giving in to that fear/resistance that has kept us from really facing what it is we’re actually busy allowing, and to then take action to change our reality to one that is actually beneficial to life, rather than destroying life for profit and greed toward the end of destroying ourselves and our entire home here as earth, the animals, nature.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to only wait for some situation to arise where for example someone can’t afford the necessary healthcare, before I even consider or think about the suffering that’s going on in this world, because it’s not happening to me, and thus I can ignore it, and then when the situation is over, to go back to my life of comfort, making excuses in my mind as to why I need not concern myself with the plight of this world, as if the world is something separate from me, and not considering that I am actually responsible for the suffering taking place, as I am benefitting from the current system, while accepting the fact that it’s not supporting everyone, and thus it’s my responsibility to stand up and say this is unacceptable, within the realization that I would not want to be one of those who are suffering while others are living comfortably and accepting my suffering, when we could actually all be supported equally so that no suffering happens. 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fear and resist creating ‘awkward’ situations, where reality is exposed, not realizing that that experience of awkwardness, is because we realize that we are actually responsible for the suffering that’s taking place while we do nothing about it, and thus why we feel suddenly anxious/nervous, because the truth of ourselves is being exposed and can no longer be denied, of what we’re allowing to take place in the world.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to exist as a society in which we make it personal, where we act as though if you haven’t ‘made it’ and ‘found your own way’ in the system, that this is because you have failed as a person, deliberately ignoring the blatant fact that not all start in the same conditions, that what situation you are born into practically determines what kind of a life you will have or won’t have, in terms of how supported you’ll be and whether you’ll have a dignified life or not, and deliberately ignoring that all have an equal right to a dignified life, and thus we should have a system that reflect that, and gives all a dignified life, which would reflect that we are actually beings of integrity, respect and honor toward ourselves and each other as life.

Day 64: Horses are Magnifying Glasses of Who You Are

On the farm I have been working with horses, learning how to take care of them and interact and communicate with them. Anyone who spends some time with these animals will realize pretty quickly that these animals are quite aware of themselves and you and their environment, often more so than the human. What’s fascinating is how one is able to communicate with them, without even using words.

This proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that animals are not stupid, as they’ve shown us time and again that they are really aware of what is going on, more so than humans, and it is often the human that completely disregards this, proving that the human is the ignorant one. 

I have had but a little experience with horses in my past, I took some lessons briefly when I was 11, and helped a friend who worked in the stables a few times. So working with horses on the farm now for about 6 months has been the bulk of my experience working with horses. At the farm we practice natural horsemanship techniques for interacting and working with the horses. Bits haven’t been used the whole time I’ve been here, and we trim hooves ourselves and don’t use horseshoes. When we lead horses to pasture, many of them we only put a lead lightly around their neck, and some of them don’t need a lead at all, it depends on their temperament.

You really get to form a communication with the horses you work with, and it’s fascinating how you actually build the communication between you and the being that is the horse, where you can use gestures to communicate to the horse how to move, and together you form this communication, of ‘this gesture means do this’ and ‘this gesture means do that’. And the horse has a fun time learning new ways to move himself. Today, I learned how to communicate to the horse to walk toward me, and he responded right away and it was fascinating. And what’s cool is that none of this is done with any kind of rope or forcing the horse in any way, or by using rewards to coerce him. The horse is simply enjoying himself moving around as a physical being and communicating with you, and I quite enjoyed it as well. It really gets you here working and participating within and as the physical.

It is really supportive to work and communicate this way with the horses, as they will literally act as a mirror and reflect you back to you, as they are following your lead, and thus if you are being distracted, they will be distracted and you won’t get a direct clear response from them, and depending on their temperament they may take advantage of your distraction and act out and challenge you. Thus, whatever you are living as yourself becomes magnified by hundreds of pounds into this big mass of a physical being, literally showing you who you are and that they are actually more aware of your physical than you are, as they are responding to where your attention is focused, and how you’re holding yourself, if you’re slouching or if you’re standing upright, if you’re walking ahead with direction or if your just lolly-gagging around. 

But what really struck me, is when I was doing research on the internet to learn more about natural horsemanship, very little turned up. And that’s when I realized that this way of doing things is still incredibly rare, that most horses are worked with in traditional ways with bits and ropes, in many cases where the horse is not considered equally to the human at all, but is seen as less than the human, and just something for the human to use, or even as nice pet but with the human still perceiving itself as more than the horse, as the ‘owner’ of the horse, where an actual equal and one relationship with the horse is not considered.

That’s not to say or suggest that anyone and everyone can or should start doing natural horsemanship techniques right away, because you have to actually develop that relationship and communication with the horse, and the relationship between horses and human currently is ruled by money, as humans themselves are ruled by money, and thus extensive abuse happens to horses within using them to generate money in the current system, such as with horse racing, rodeos, bullfighting, for show, and using them for labor, without any regard for their well-being.

This is why we require an Equal Money System, so that we can stop being ruled by the pursuit for money as security of a dignified life, and instead give everyone the right to a dignified life, animals included, and free ourselves and all of existence from enslavement to a money system that is not actually supporting us as humanity or the earth as the environment/nature and the animals, and actually being to re-establish effective communication between ourselves and what is here as this physical reality.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed a world in which that which is here as the physical forms and manifestations, as nature and the animals, are disregarded and abused for the sake of a few beings to accumulate money, while most of humanity is not able to afford a dignified life, and must turn to abusing what is here as nature and the animals for the means to survive.

I commit myself to doing what it takes to bring forth an Equal Money System, so that we can begin to correct our relationships so that we can live in oneness and equality with that which is here, and explore the full potential of what may be possible when all life lives and exists in oneness and equality.

Day 50: Stepping Out of Character: 'I am Vegan / Vegetarian'

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that when I live the character of ‘Vegan/Vegetarian’ that this means I am ‘doing my part’ to stop animal abuse, and that I am living a lifestyle that is actually going to lead to the end of animal abuse.

 I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize the extent of how unaware I am of the entirety of the situation in existence as to how/why animal abuse is taking place and all the dimensions that is involved, that I could come to believe that I am actually able to not take part in animal abuse, in believing that it’s possible to end the abuse by simply buying products that do not involve the abuse of animals, not considering that no matter what I buy, the very system I am buying it within the very system that is driving the animal abuse that takes place in this world – and thus I am still supporting animal abuse, still participating in animal abuse, and still responsible for animal abuse. Therefore-

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to ignore the fact that my participation in and living as the character of Vegan or Vegetarian was to feed and perpetuate an idea of myself as ‘caring’ and ‘making a difference’ and not actually having the result that I am apparently standing for of ending animal abuse, as I am not taking the necessary action that could possibly actually lead to the end of animal abuse, as no longer supporting the current system and standing up to establish and create a new system which will enable us to actually stop animal abuse, as within the current system that is based on profit and inequality it is impossible to stop animal abuse. See the Equal Money System as the equality based system busy being developed within the starting point of supporting life and ending all abuse.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not consider how I took on the character of Vegan / Vegetarian so I could have the ‘feeling’ like I am having a positive impact on the world, so I could ‘feel good’ about myself – which shows that it was simply a character as an act I put on with the starting point and focus being myself – and having a positive experience/feeling about/toward myself, and not actually about stopping animal abuse.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to imagine in my mind all the animal lives I was ‘saving’ by no longer apparently consuming animal products, and using this picture to create the idea of myself for myself that I am having some kind of impact on animal abuse, within this, focusing on the lives I believed I was saving and ignoring all the rest of the animal abuse that was still taking place and that I’d had no impact on whatsoever, within the justification that I am doing ‘what I can’ and that in, according to my mind, having apparently ‘saved’ a few animals that that was all that really could be expected of me, and all the possible impact I could have, as I can’t control/effect everyone else that is still using products made from animals. Within this not considering that I can in fact have an impact on others, as we all already do impact each other through the examples that we live as the actions we take and the words we speak, and through accepting and allowing the current money system which keeps the majority of the earth’s population enslaved in wage-slavery with little or no choice in what one has access to as one’s needs to be able to choose products that are not made from animals. Thus – 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that the characters of Vegan and Vegetarian are elitist lifestyles created and perpetuated to serve consumerism, as those who are poor/in poverty have little to no choice in what they consume and whether it is of animal or not.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not consider that in living the character of Vegan or Vegetarian, I am creating and participating in a polarity of plants vs animals, wherein I am placing animals as more important than plants, and not considering that abuse that is done to plants as well, wherein I have decided within myself that something/someone has to suffer/pay the price for me to live, and it will be the plants, and thus within this there is no equality and oneness as consideration for all live equally as all life is of the same substance and all forms are part of this earth and this existence.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not consider how I act when I am living as the character of Vegan or Vegetarian, as how I experience myself when I tell others that I am vegan/vegetarian, where I feel a positive charge/feeling for being a ‘good person’ who is ‘doing the right thing’ and used this definition in comparison to others who are not vegan/vegetarian and felt superior toward them, like I am better than them because they are abusing animals, while ignoring that I am still abusing animals, as animals have been and are abused within everything that is made from this earth, as in no way are we actually taking into consideration and caring for the animals, or nature/the environment or ourselves, as all equal parts of existence here, and in no way are living in such a way that is supporting life, but are rather accepting destruction of the earth to take place on a massive scale, where there is only a tiny fraction of area on the land of the earth where animals live unmolested, as we’ve literally taken over the whole planet within the overconsumption driven by the current system by those who seek to profit off of the earth, in total disregard for the immense destruction being done to the earth, animals, nature, and humans.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not consider that I decided to become and live as the character of the vegan/vegetarian due to memories, wherein I had seen pictures of animals being abused and felt bad and powerless to stop the abuse that had already taken place within the image/picture, and when the idea of becoming vegan/vegetarian was presented I took it on in order to feel like I was doing something and was not powerless after all - within this showing that I lived this character as a way of directing how I was experiencing myself within myself, to make myself feel better, so in essence I became the vegan/vegetarian character in order to experience myself a certain way, and thus the starting point is not to become a force that can influence the world to actually make a change like ending abuse.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that I am wreaking havoc on my physical body and the physical reality by living as characters as information that I’ve taken on and lived as myself that is based on ideas /opinions/beliefs that I learned/read/heard from somewhere, without ensuring that the information is valid as that which if lived will lead to a world where life is supported.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that to live as/according to the mind as my beliefs/thoughts/perceptions/feelings/emotions/opinions, I am harming the physical, as I am not living as the physical and thus according to what the physical requires and what actually supports the physical.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that the character I live as is a personality suit that I put on in order to make myself feel like/believe that I am something I’m not in actuality.

I commit myself to no longer living as a character for the sake of thinking/believing I am making a difference/having an impact in the world, and commit myself to ensure that who I am will actually have an impact on the earth.

I commit myself to realizing that to end abuse, we must change the money system, as the money system stands as our acceptance of abuse to be done to life as ourselves, nature, the animals, and it’s through the current system that animal abuse is perpetuated, and thus I commit myself to supporting the Equal Money System, as a system where life is valued as the only real value, and thus abuse will not be allowed, and we can begin to reform the balance of nature that should be existing here.

I commit myself to realizing that to live as a character is a criminal act, as I will defend my character no matter whether such character accepts and allows abuse to exist in the world, as a character must be defended because it isn’t real, and thus I commit myself to investigating and finding every way that I live as a character, so that I can stop and become a real being that lives in consideration of life – not as an ego that seeks to be validated and feel good about itself no matter the cost to life.
