Day 216: And On This Day A Savior Was Born?


“And On This Day A Savior Was Born”

I saw this posted on the sign of a church. It's there because it's Christmas time, which is meant to be a celebration the birth of Jesus. At first glance, it sounds nice. But, isn't it odd that we're celebrating the birth of Jesus one day out of the whole year? And why would we celebrate the birth... instead of the actual life/living, the words, the principles, the actions, of the one who we are claiming to be our 'savior'?

How strange that there was a man who went so far to show us the key to our 'salvation', and that today what remains is a one-day celebration that has become far more about buying stuff and supporting the addiction to consumption than anything else. I mean, if you don't see this, really you just have to look at your main thoughts and actions around this time, and it's mostly about what to get for whom, and it becomes a conversation point, “Have you finished all your shopping?”, and sharing our experiences with shopping and traffic and long lines and hectic mobs fighting over products. I mean, where is there any discussion of Jesus of the principles he lived? Nowhere. It's all about sales, 'Black Friday' and 'Grey Thursday'. They're like holidays for Shopping.

How strange that we would have a man who lived and showed us how to save ourselves, and yet we aren't busy living our very salvation. Why are we once a year celebrating the man, when it's the principles that he lived which are what mattered. It wasn't that he was 'Jesus' and it doesn't matter what color or ethnicity he may have been, it's really inconsequential, it was what he lived and showed us about ourselves that mattered.

So this shows, the serious pattern of self sabotage that we're in, where we've got solutions all around us, and yet just aren't living them. For some reason, we're still going about with our heads in the sand, never questioning what is really going on here, never questioning how it is that we apparently had a 'savior' and yet we face all the same problems we've ever had, and worse. That's because no one can save you from yourself. No one can save us from ourselves, but ourselves. We are the very key to our own salvation, to sorting out our world and reality, and yet we ignore that and continue in the same patterns of consequence and abuse.

We had a living example that came and went and walked a life to show us what is possible, and we ended up warping the whole thing into something completely backwards from the original point. The principles that Jesus stood for as 'Love thy neighbor' / 'Do unto others and you'd have done unto you' should be celebrated, because they are in fact the key to our salvation. But instead we've gotten entirely side-tracked into this year-after-year rigamarole of shop shop shop which has become so forced and obligatory. Instead of taking the very solution as the principle of Equality, and actually living it, so that we can become the living solution, and sort out life here, before we become our own Demise, as we're busy doing now.

Isn't it a new level of irony when we're celebrating a 'savior' while busy with our own destruction in the making? How bizarre is that?

We've got to be our own savior, by changing ourselves, because it's really just us that's the problem. We've got to sort out our nature and realize we've got to work together to live here. We've got to take back our self worth and stop excluding ourselves from the life we should all have by virtue of being here and breathing, which is a life of dignity, which we can give to ourselves through implementing the Living Income Guaranteed proposal to snap us out of the cycle of enslavement to money as a first step in the direction of our own salvation, in our own hands. How many more Christmases, how many more empty celebrations do we have left, before it's too late?

Day 215: Happy Who-lidays? The Santa Story Complicit in the Abuse of the World


Here we are coming up on yet another Christmas holiday and something quite profound has just struck me in regards to this generational tradition. Now, I was recently watching a video about fast food, in which it was mentioned that Ronald McDonald is most recognized by children second only to Santa Claus. I believe it was in this video here: The Dark Side of Fast Food: Why Does It Make You Sick / Fat / Tired / Taste So Good (2001) which was very eye-opening and informative on the fast food industry and it's impacts and so I suggest to watch it, however in this blog we're talking about Santa Claus, and this interesting fact, that Santa Claus is the most recognizable fictional character by children.

What this shows is just how pervasive the Santa Claus story is. Meaning, that many, many, many of us are raised with this story. The story of Santa Claus and how on he manages to deliver presents to all children. Well, just those who have been nice, and not those who have been 'naughty'. What shocked me about this is that in a world where billions are living in poverty and most assuredly do not get any kinds of presents at any time of the year, let alone have their basic needs met, what are we doing giving children the extremely false idea that apparently everyone is going to be taken care of, and if you aren't, it's because you were naughty.

I remember myself as a child, thinking, 'man that is so cool' because it makes sense that everybody should be enjoying themselves and be taken care of. But, the reality is anything but that. And more and more of us are feeling that reality as it becomes harder and harder to make a living and pay all the bills, let alone have enough for gifts.

It truly is an elitist holiday, as only those who are lucky enough to have 'extra money' can participate, and those who don't are just out of luck, and have to watch everyone else being jolly and giving gifts, while feeling bad that they can't give the gift they'd like to, because that is a big part of what Christmas has become, proving to our family how much we love them by buying them stuff. And this is no joke, we will experience these things, I know because I went through it myself in a rough year where I had no money for gifts and I felt horrified because I couldn't participate in the gift giving like everyone else, and I dreaded what others would think of me when I would receive a gift from them but they would get none from me in return. I feared that they would be disappointed, like they missed out on an opportunity to have received a free thing, because really that is what Christmas has become about. And that they would think less of me because they had given me a gift but got nothing in return, and I mean, we will think/say these things. And all of this is really petty when we look at what is really going on in the world.


There is almost no consideration for the consequences of this holiday, of all the slave labor that goes into massive amounts of products produce just to hopefully be bought as Christmas gifts. And where a lot of the gifts that are given are immediately thrown away because they weren't wanted. Or all the pets given as gifts that end up becoming strays or in shelters, have a look at these articles: No Christmas Puppies, Please! and Many pets given as Christmas gifts end up in shelters, animal advocates say, which shows how an idyllic picture in mind “of floppy-eared puppies peering innocently out of a colorful gift box” meets up with reality, and the cute puppy ends up in a shelter, where many pets are euthanized due to lack of space.

So if the picture of cute puppies in our mind helps us to ignore and not consider the reality of what having a pet and being responsible for another living being entail, then what affect does giving children the impression that we all get presents every year as long as we're 'nice' have, in a world with massive global poverty?

How sinister is it actually to tell such a story, when the reality is that there are children who won't even have anything to eat on Christmas day, there are thousands of children who will in fact die on Christmas day, and if we really cared at Christmas, we would want to know whether all children got a present, whether all children were able to be in a 'Christmas spirit' and enjoying themselves. Wouldn't we be outraged to discover that on Christmas Day, the day in which all children are supposed to get presents, that children who have never done anything to deserve it, are busy starving to death? Wouldn't we care that reality goes entirely against the beautiful, nice picture we're trying to paint? Could we really stomach it, to go on and pretend all this Holiday Cheer and niceness, while allowing such atrocity to be the real reality?

Could you tell the story of Santa Claus to a starving child who is living in abject poverty? Could you tell them a fat man is going to come and give them a present? Would you tell a homeless child on the street that if they are nice Santa will visit their cardboard box? Obviously not, because they are going to see the reality pretty quick. So why do we tell any children this lie at all? Especially when it's the children who are in positions of support who can then grow up thinking that life is good to you if you are good, and if you're poor you must have done something wrong, you must have been 'naughty' or you are 'just lazy'. Who grow up to be the adults who could actually make a difference in this world, whereas those in poverty are stuck in poverty.

What we are teaching our children is to believe in a fairytale nice story and ignore reality, but what this leads to is the problems in our reality are ever increasing, and eventually no one would be able to hide from it in a nice fantasy.

And all this may sound bleak, and that is because the situation is bleak indeed, and yet, all we need to do, it is so simple really, is to face the problems, and sort them out. And then we can live in a world where Christmas is not in reality a dirty lie, a world where all children really are supported, where you really are gifted with a life worth living, where Holiday Cheer is not something that's forced out of habit and fear of not conforming. I mean, it's like we fear more to be different and do something different from the crowd and what everyone else is doing, that we would participate in what we really can't pretend anymore to be a 'positive' thing, as it's become all about consumerism and is one of the most stressful times of the year.

You don't have to be a part of the deception. One by one we can set ourselves free by living the example that you don't have to go along with this mass illusion, and become an individual that shows that it really is ok to stick to reality, it really is ok to not have to exchange gifts and find a gift for everyone, it really is ok to let go of a fairytale, so that we can get down to earth and focus on making reality what it should be: A Joy for All Any Time of the Year.

The Living Income Guaranteed is THE Gift to give ourselves, as an act of real caring, to show that we are beings that don't just believe in fantasy utopian stories, but actually care to make reality match up to the principles we pay lip service to, and make sure that no child has to suffer at Christmas time again, to put in place the support that would make sure that all children actually could have a Merry Christmas.

Day 169: Christmas Day: Where is our Savior?

Featured Artwork by Anna Brix Thomsen

For unto us a savior is born. And yet, where is this savior. You hear/see this phrase at this time of year, as Christmas is supposedly the celebration of the birth of this savior. And yet, there is no evidence of this savior anywhere. The only ‘savior’ that exists in the current system, is Money. Money is what save you from Death, from starving, with money you can buy the life you want to have, have access to proper healthcare and education. Without Money, you have nothing, and you die. Thus Money has become god in this world.

And so, Christmas has really become a celebration of Money, where it all actually revolves money, as money is required to be able to celebrate Christmas, to buy the decorations, and gifts, and decorations for the gifts, and food to feast, and to travel and get together with friends and family. It all takes money, and thus if you have no Money you have no Christmas. A man on the side of the road had a sign that read ‘Please help - my grandchildren need a Christmas’. And he’s asking for money, obviously, because that’s what you need to do anything in this world. Not just to celebrate but even just to live and exist.

Yet we tell children that Santa is going to bring presents to everyone in the world, when we know that this is in fact not so. When we know that there are children for whom Christmas just doesn’t even exist, as they have no Money, and that there will be no Santa Claus come to give them anything. Yet will tell our children this, why? So that we can avoid any responsibility. So that we can pretend that everything is fine, so we can continue just the way things are, because we’re ok, and we don’t want that to change, because we fear we might end up on the losing end as well.

But just so to really solidify the deception, we’ll say that Santa only brings presents to those who are nice, and not to those who are naughty, so therefore, all the poor and suffering just weren’t nice enough, they have been naughty somehow, and thus they don’t deserve any presents and it’s their fault they are starving to death. If they had been nice good people they would be fine. This is the message we tell the children despite the fact that those who are suffering are simply given no Money within the system and are in no way supported in the way that the elites are who are able to celebrate Christmas. We’ve thus proven that Santa in fact DOES give presents to those who are NOT NICE.

The consequence of this is passing on from one generation to the next this acceptance and allowance of the suffering in the world. Now is this really in the spirit of Christmas? Christmas is supposed to be the time of spreading ‘joy and cheer’, yet what we’re actually spreading is excuse and justification for allowing the suffering to continue in the world.

What we actually do at Christmas time is increase the slavery that we’re already allowing within the current system, where so much more work is done to push out all the various products one can buy within the celebrating of Christmas. And thus Christmas is really the opposite of the joyous and holy occasion it’s meant to be, as presented within various religions.

Featured Artwork by Damian Ledesma
If Christmas really had anything to do with Jesus it would be aligned with Jesus’ message of love thy neighbor as thyself, and we would not allow a single being to starve any day of the year, by ensuring our system is effectively supporting everyone, and not capitalizing on the enslavement of many, in the name of Jesus.

What do we have to say to every child that will die today? What would you say to them? Would you tell them that on this day unto them a savior was born? When there is no one saving them from the condition they are forced into from birth?

Would you tell them the story of Santa, and that he’s going to come and bring them presents? And that if he doesn’t, it’s because they were bad? Would you tell them this to their face? So why say it behind their backs?

The greatest Christmas gift we could ever give would be to give ourselves the gift of Life, by actually caring for life instead of living for Money, and actually being genuine beings that do not celebrate while inducing mass slavery and suffering on the majority, pretending that everyone gets presents as long as they’re good, when we know it’s a lie, a lie that is allowing children to starve to death on Christmas day.

The True Christmas spirit would be to take action to prevent the suffering taking place in the world. If Santa was a being the truly cared, he would implement an Equal Money System, so that no one goes without in the first place, where Life is a gift in itself, where everything you need is already gifted to you as a guaranteed right, and not be restricted according to how much Money you do or don’t have, and where whether or not you have money decide whether you live or die.

    Day 164: How to Predict the End of The World and, Consequently, How to Stop It


    There’s a lot of hype going around about the End of the World and that it’s maybe going to happen on December 21, which is less than 5 days away. Is the world going to end on December 21? No. There is absolutely no scientific evidence that would indicate the world is going to end in any of the numerous ways that is being predicted that it could happen.

    Therefore, those that still want to believe that the world is going to end on December 21, have to make a choice to believe in it, despite the fact that science shows nothing is going to happen. And that’s the thing with consciousness, the con of consciousness, you can make up any fantasy you want and believe in it, and that’s your free will. That is really all that free will is, is the choice to either stick to reality, or live according to a fantasy reality you made up in your mind. Why we would even want a choice between that is really bizarre.


    You’ve got one theory that says it’s going to be sun storms that do us in. Another that says a planet is going to smash into us, or a comet will hit us. Or there’s going to be lots of earthquakes. Or an alien invasion. None of which is there any valid scientific evidence for. What this is evidence for, is how we have done a very bad job at educating ourselves effectively as to how this physical reality operates, that we can actually entertain such wild predictions. Which is also indicated by the way we are currently using the earth’s resources in a way that is unsustainable, and thus busy leading to our own unpleasant demise. Not something we’d be allowing to happen if we properly understood the importance of how the physical reality operates and our dependence on it, and that our current actions are in fact harming and destroying it.


    Predicting the end of the world is really simple, anyone can do it by looking at what our actions are collectively, meaning, what are we as humanity as a whole busy doing, and what will happen if we continue with what we’re doing. Is what we're doing leading to a world that is best for all life, or leading to the destruction of all life?

    Thus it’s simple and easy to deduce when living in a space/time reality where you have cause/effect’ where actions have specific outflows/consequences which if done consistently accumulate over time, and you can thus look at the actions being done on a consistent basis, the consequences it produce, and how that will accumulate, and you can predict what is going to happen. Thus when you, for example, look at the rate which we are consuming resources and changing the substance of the earth into that which is unusable or harmful to life, it is easy to predict we are on the direct path to our destruction. Since it is us that is performing the actions that lead to us, obviously in simplicity what would be required is to stop those actions through which we are destroying ourselves, and instead only take actions that are supportive to life, as a whole. Here’s a vlog about that:




    The End of the World has been predicted so many times, and obviously, hasn’t ever once come true. In fact, here’s a list from Wikipedia that lists all the end of the world predictions so far: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events

    It’s becoming so common, since it’s so good for business, maybe we should make Armageddon another consumerism-based holiday like Christmas or Halloween or Thanksgiving, and just celebrate it every year, in fact we can celebrate it at the END of the year, oh wait, we’ve already got a holiday then, scratch that. Guess that’s why it has to always be on some odd date.

    For any real, significant change to happen to this world, on December 21 or any day, what would need to End is the current economic system, and have implemented an Equal Money System, through which we can correct our relationship to this physical reality, within our understanding of how it operates and functions, by ensuring that all have access to the most up to date education, and that the education we provide to ourselves is the best it can be by being accurate, practical and relevant to reality, where science is used to the benefit of life, and how best to care for our planet, so that all life may thrive in harmony, and not be harmed for the sake of money.

    Day 159: Ah, Christmas! Sweet Coping Mechanism of Capitalism


    Ah, it’s that Christmas time of year again. You can tell by the Christmas music that’s playing everywhere on the radio, in stores, reminding you it’s that time of year to buy buy buy stuff. Every year, there’s the jokes about how early the Christmas music starts, and how annoying it is, and rolling of the eyes, like it’s driving us insane.

    It really is a bizarre event, in so many ways, though I remember a time where I did somewhat accept this idea/event of Christmas, when I was a child, and it was something that happened every year, and you got to get presents, and so I figured, heck with it, I don’t care if this makes no sense, I want presents, and so I put my self interest before the truth.And that, is exactly what Christmas is all about! Christmas is a really hard pill to swallow, since it's all complete and total bullshit, and therefore is really a clear indication of the fucked up state that we as humanity are in. I mean, the fact that this whole Christmas ‘thing’ / ’episode’ / ’pandemic’, what to call it, takes place at such a vast level of participation, shows the extent of our brainwashing, and the extent of just what we’ll accept and allow to take place in this world, even when it goes beyond all common sense.

    I mean, we think of this holiday as a ‘good thing’, a ‘beneficial’ and ‘positive’ thing, kind of like God, in how you’re not supposed to question it, because it’s just, well, ‘good’. I remember in my childhood, thinking Christmas was so weird. I mean, you’ve got grown adults, telling you fantasy stories about a fat man, that rides a flying sleigh, driven by reindeers, who lands on everyone’s roof, goes down their chimneys, and leaves shit in their house. It’s obviously total ludicrous bullshit, and it’s presented as if it’s real. This would not be defined as the actions of an intelligent species of beings. To take their young and give them information that is in total contradiction with how this physical reality actually operates. Look at the consequences of for example, Superman, where you have kids jumping off roves thinking they can fly. At Christmas we’ve got children putting out milk and cookies for some man to come to their house to give them toys. And then we teach them to not take gifts from strangers.

    And that really illustrates the hypocrisy that is Christmas, that even though the world is going to shit, there’s massive problems everywhere, 75% of the population living in poverty, we string up some lights, tell fantasy stories to the children, buy lots of stuff to give to people in our lives, most of which isn’t needed or wanted but is given just because ‘it’s what you have to do’, ‘you’re supposed to give gifts’, ‘what will they think if I don’t give them a gift’, ‘I don’t want them to think that I don’t care about them and to think poorly of me’. Gift giving has become about maintaining your face, where it’s ‘I’ve got to find something for so and so’, not so and so needs this or that, so it’s not based on anyone actually needing anything, when there are billions in this world that do need, and are allowed to go without. While those of us in elite countries are busy trying to find stuff to buy for each other that no one needs, there are children starving to death. While we allow an economic system that allows poverty to exist, we at the same time participate in the bullshit of Christmas and pretend everything is great.

    And we know it’s not. We can’t wait for the holidays to come around for a break from the monotony of the daily grind that we go through, busy all year round with our jobs that go to feed the system of consumerism and generate profits for a small minority of the population to live in luxury, while the rest slave away for jobs that are largely irrelevant to life and providing no actual benefit to humanity or life or the individual doing it, which is why it’s so hard to do those jobs. Who really wants to participate in something that in no way is of benefit to oneself and one’s reality and world, and only serves as a point of maintaining one’s survival. No wonder we can’t wait for a break. But it shows the extent to which we’ve accepted things how they are, they we accept the whole year of drudgery just for this little break, instead of realizing that life is such a drudgery because we not actually living for life, but are living as wage slaves to capitalism. And we’ll take these little positive fleeting moments, and use it to cope with our situation, instead of actually changing our situation. I mean, we must be really shit-scared to actually participate in a story about a fat man on your roof, not to mention the whole Christmas tree point, of cutting down trees en masse, which are also grown en masse for only this reason, to put them in our living room and string lights on it, and hang colored plastic balls on it, and make this ‘lovely’ decoration of lights that sparkle and make us feel entertained for a moment. All supposedly to celebrate the birth of Jesus. I mean, this is some really bizarre shit.

    If Jesus could see this, what we’re doing in his name? What would he think about the cutting the trees down and hanging plastic balls on them I wonder. Such blatant acts of pure consumerism. What this shows is the massive education that’s required for humanity to understand our physical reality, and how best to live in it. I mean, here we find ourselves in this physical reality here with the animals and nature which we depend on to survive, and let’s see how we decide to interact with what’s here? Ah yes, let’s grow millions of trees, in order to cut them down to put in our living room and dress up with decorations that consume electricity and you don’t want the Christmas tree to just wilt and dry up right away, so you got to feed it water and there’s even chemicals you can put in the water to keep it greener a bit longer, because you want to milk the most you can out of it to keep that feel good feeling of ‘it’s Christmas time and everything is wonderful’ going for as long as possible, although the problems in reality never go away, and will be there still after all the lights come down and you’re hauling that tree out to the curb. Is this the way in which beings who respect the earth that provided us with live and existence, would treat nature? As a commodity for entertainment, for momentary distraction from the problems in the world that we never get around to facing and solving once and for all?

    Christmas is just another bandaid we use to make us feel good about life, while letting life go to shit, and this why we don’t want to let go of Christmas – because it’s become our coping mechanism, and if we let that go, then what can we use to hide from ourselves and our responsibility for just a little longer? If we didn’t have the coping mechanism of Christmas, then we might have to actually face the reality of how crappy we are allowing life to be, the worldwide suffering we’re allowing to take place, and then we’d have to change ourselves and how we’re doing things. Oh wait, but then we could actually solve these problems once and for all! I mean, how is it even possible that we get excited about the prospect of getting gifts one time out of the year, because we don’t already have the best of everything. What if we all had the best? Would we care then about gifts? Would it even be relevant?

    The very idea of giving gifts has become just a trick of consumerism, where instead of giving ourselves as a whole, in our entirety, the gift of the best life possible in all ways, the best house, the best food, the best car, the best nature, we settle for a jackpot system where we’re not simply guaranteed the best in the first place, but can only hope to get it, but we never do, as for most the best is not affordable, this done to make the most profit possible, so this Christmas, the real gift to give ourselves is an Equal Money System, where the gift we give to ourselves will be the gift of life, the gift of the best life possible, where life can be enjoyed all year round as life will no longer be enslaved to profit, and we won’t have to ‘settle’ for a false holiday that is just about creating a good feeling in ourselves, as that feeling never lasts and we’re back to the same reality again, facing the same problems, only worse, because the more we ignore them the more they grow, so time to get out of the fantasies and finally apply a real solution that makes life enjoyable as a living reality.

    Thus instead of having a Christmas holiday built on consumerism in total disregard of the planet, as a reaction to how we’ve accepted our current reality where we get tired of the year round drudgery that we’ve accepted life to be in the current system, rather change the reality by changing the system, changing the source of the problem, and then we won’t feel the need for such an elaborate distraction from the suffering we’re allowing, as we’ll prevent it from being created in the first place. Prevention is the Best Cure.

    Day 136: Hurricane Sandy & the NY Marathon: We Know When it's Not Time to Party

    So I was reading recently in the news about how in New York the mayor had decided to go on with a scheduled marathon that was held every year. This just 5 days or so after hurricane Sandy went through and many residents in some areas of New York still without power and requiring support. The point that was being brought up was how can you go on with such an event when people are in dire conditions who need assistance, so it’s really not the time to go on with a big party.

    What this shows about us, is that we are in fact well aware that there are priorities – that when it comes to people in need, that that should come first. However, this doesn’t explain how it is that we every day allow billions of being to suffer, and we go on with our events and celebrations, and never give a moment’s thought. How when we’re busy celebrating Halloween for example and passing out candy to kids, there are thousands of children dying each day, so on Halloween thousands of children died, while we held a celebration and gave out free candy and treats, without giving a moment’s thought to those who aren’t getting treats from us, but wound up with the ‘tricks’ – brutal suffering from a system of inequality which we’re allowing to exist.

    Or how about when we celebrate Christmas, handing out gifts to ‘friends and family’ while so many are suffering in the world. How come no one calls a stop to these celebrations? When it’s obvious that we understand that some things come first, like making sure everyone is Cared for and no one in Suffering.

    Now let’s have a look at why it is the mayor most likely made the decision to go on with marathon – Money. And why is this? Because in the world as we’ve created it and accept it to be, we’ve made money our God, where money is the primary influencing factor of all the decisions we make. The mayor is in charge of looking out for the city and the city requires money to effectively function. A marathon makes money, probably not so much when it’s cancelled/delayed. So it’s really a stupid position we’ve placed ourselves in, where we find ourselves making choices between doing what makes sense, and what makes money, because we’ve created a system where money is more important than life.

    I mean, what would happen if we did stop celebrations like Christmas and Halloween in light of the fact that it’s actually really Evil to party while allowing billions of other to suffer – well businesses would sure suffer a hit, as the holidays are big time revenue for many many businesses that cash in on all the ‘specialized’ products that sold in order to ‘celebrate’ these holidays. And since the workers of most big businesses only get a small portion of its pay such that they live paycheck to paycheck, if the business does bad, they will probably get less or get laid off, and so this means that individual’s incomes will be decreased and their quality of living will go down. So are those business owners and their employees going to stand up and say ‘hey – this isn’t right to be celebrating while so many suffer – let’s stop’. Obviously not. So here, an example of how we’ve allowed ourselves to be enslaved to money, because our very survival and quality of life is not guaranteed, and so we have to make choices and do whatever it takes to get what we need, even if it means screwing others.

    So what can we see from the case of the marathon? That we do realize that we’ve got issues to sort out, that we’re putting off and postponing because we’re doing fine, meanwhile billions are suffering.

    Thus here we’re blaming a politician for exactly the same thing that we’re all living – thus the point here is to realize how this is a reflection of who we are and what we’ve accepted as our reality – because we’ve placed value in money instead of in life, so that we make choices that are based on money, in the disregard of life. And that we do in fact realize that we have a responsibility here to make sure that everyone is getting the necessary care and support, just like those living through hurricane Sandy, and anyone that’s been in a situation like that knows first hand – that we should be making sure that Everyone is Cared for as that is what one would like for oneself, and thus we have to give to ourselves that which we’d like, and make sure that Everyone is cared for on this Earth, through establishing an Equal Money System in which all life will be supported. As we’re well aware that in disaster situations we need to take care of those in need, and this whole world is practically in a disaster situation, thus it’s time to get to our priorities in making sure that we’ve left no one out and all are considered and cared for, as then we can really Celebrate without it being partying in Evil Ignorance while others suffer and go without assistance. It’s time to create a world where where suffering is not ignored and allowed, where life itself is a celebration in each and every moment.
