Day 229: The Math is Simple, We Need a Living Income Guaranteed

So I am going through my college classes, math in particular, so going over things like fractions and rations and linear equations. Being that I am now over 30 and have been living life for a while and not just fresh out of high school, and not still living at home with parents, I have actually practically applied a lot of this math within my day to day living, within things like budgeting mainly. And as I go through the course, this is actually the practical application that is shown for this math – is that it is useful for doing your own personal budgeting and such.

So we have here in this math a really cool and useful tool to be utilized in the distribution of resources and goods to everyone, the things that we need and use on a daily basis in our lives. It has helped me to figure out whether or not I can afford certain things, and just how much I can afford to pay in rent for a place to live for example. The problem comes in however when your numbers just don’t add up to being enough to provide you what you need.

It seems strange that we would allow such problems to exist where individuals can be faced with not having enough to cover all our basic needs, where no matter how you do the math, there is just no solution. You would think that we humans don’t even grasp the simplest of math to see that for so many it doesn’t add up. It’s even stranger still that there are those who would seem to even deny that such a situation exists and would imply that it is simply due to individuals not managing their money properly or living ‘within their means. But there is a bottom line that if your income is below that, you just don’t have enough and no amount of money management is going to solve that.

Interesting that we are taught this math in school to help us with finances but not really taught that hey- you might end up not actually having enough to pay all your bills though. I mean, maybe I would have geared up and gone to college right after high school instead of taking my chances with the ‘real world’ and trying to go straight into getting a job, if I’d had any idea that pretty much the only jobs I would have access to would be those that don’t pay enough. At the time, I was afraid to incur a huge college tuition loan, when I didn’t really even yet know what I wanted to do with my life. But if I had known that in the end I would be no better off than I was 10+ years ago, maybe I would have had a different perspective.

However, even then, it is still a numbers game. Even if you have a degree, it doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you won’t still end up in one of those jobs that doesn’t pay enough. Because over time, those types of jobs have been increasing, and the better paying jobs decreasing. The ones that provide better pay, decent benefits, paid leave, or any leave at all, and maybe some kind of retirement, or even pay raises. When we have heard politicians say they are making more jobs, we should have asked what kind of jobs? Ones that actually will support us? Or treat us as cheap labor?

Our economy is screaming for a Basic Income program like the Living Income Guaranteed. Just look at the numbers. I see more and more homeless on the streets literally every day. I am approached more and more frequently by individuals asking for some money. I see more and more shops closing and vacant buildings. The signs are all around and I don’t want to wait to see how bad it gets. If we are not going to make sure that we have enough jobs that pay enough, then we need a proper support system to make sure everyone has enough for a decent life. It only costs us more to try and help individuals once they aren’t being effectively supported by the system. We have so many costly programs that only exist to try and help the problem after it’s already been created, that often still aren’t enough to keep people on their feet. It is much more cost effective to prevent causing problems that need to be cleaned up. The numbers don’t lie so it’s really time we listened to them and make sure that everyone really is in a position to effectively work out a proper budget.

Day 163: How Does Humanity Exist as FEAR?

Desteni Artists

In this post I’m going to address a comment I received to a previous blog post, Day 160: Is Ascension Really the Earth Kicking Humans Out? Suggest to read that blog post for perspective on the comment, which was this question: 


“Why do you assume people live in fear?”


This questions is an indication of the extent to which we as humanity have become ignorant of ourselves and what drives the very decisions we make. As, our entire existence revolves around fear, and yet we can be almost completely unaware of that, because we've never really investigated ourselves and what goes on in our minds, and what is the nature of thoughts, to be able to identify what is really going on within ourselves. It's not something we are taught to do, and thus there is no real practical ability developed to work with ourselves and the experiences that come up within ourselves, or even to recognize and identify what is going on. Thus we're largely at the whim of what we experience, and take much of it for granted. 

So in this post we’ll start with identifying some of the many fears that humanity live as. There are also some perspective on how we live as fear in the following post I wrote, Day 161: In Capitalism Everyone is a Beggar.
 

How do we as humanity live in/exist as fear? Here’s some of the common fears we as humans experience to various extremes: 

Note: Not everyone will necessarily have each and every one of these fears, and the degree to which an individual experiences it will differ, according to one’s particular personality and how one’s mind consciousness system is structured. For perspective as to why that is so here is an interview available from Eqafe on that subject: Why Fear Feels Different to Different People

Fear of aging/getting old Fear of death/dying Fear of losing hair/going bald Fear of losing job Fear of not being able to pay bills Fear of losing a relationship Fear of being dumped Fear of being fat Fear of failing a test Fear of driving Fear of the dark Fear of being robbed Fear of having a heart attack Fear of speaking in public Fear of being poor Fear of starving Fear of getting sick Fear of being injured Fear of being embarrassed Fear of losing your memory Fear of people not liking you Fear of heights Fear of flying Fear of being alone Fear of commitment Fear of clowns Fear of dogs Fear of going to the dentist Fear of god Fear of being punished Fear of talking to girls Fear of being a parent Fear of judgment Fear of germs Fear of water Fear of crowds Fear of missing out Fear of monsters Fear of marriage Fear of not knowing Fear of not being good enough Fear of the unknown Fear of aliens Fear of bugs Fear of failing Fear of falling Fear of the end of the world Fear of judgment day Fear of control Fear of government Fear of school Fear of displeasing others Fear of losing teeth Fear of not getting enough sleep Fear of being poor Fear of being nauseous Fear of getting a stomach ache Fear of getting a sore throat Fear of being raped Fear of not existing after death Fear of conflict/confrontation Fear of being yelled at Fear of depression Fear of loneliness Fear of dying alone Fear of being in a war zone Fear of not having enough money to retire Fear of not finding a job/ Fear of unemployment Fear of insults Fear of being humiliated Fear of one’s secret thoughts being discovered Fear of secret habits being exposed, like porn addiction Fear of sexual rejection Fear of being bad at sex Fear of friends/family members dying Fear of pets dying Fear of not being loved Fear of being misunderstood Fear of not being accepted Fear of losing Fear of being proven wrong Fear of making a mistake Fear of getting something stuck in your eye Fear of being ugly Fear of being burned Fear of losing a limb Fear of going blind Fear of having cancer Fear of smoking Fear of having a stroke

Fear of allergies Fear of high blood pressure Fear of being murdered Fear of having bad credit Fear of being in debt Fear of foreclosure Fear of losing one’s pension Fear of losing one’s home/ Fear of being homeless Fear of food poisoning Fear of being sober Fear of one’s car breaking down Fear of being lied to Fear of being scammed/ripped off Fear of being taken advantage of Fear of asthma Fear of not being able to breath Fear of getting Alzheimer’s Fear of going bald Fear of being out of style Fear of being seen as stupid/sounding stupid Fear of going bankrupt Fear of answering the phone Fear of what others think of you Fear of brain damage Fear that your life has no meaning Fear of never becoming successful Fear of being stuck in a dead end job Fear of not going to college Fear of failing out of college Fear of not being able to your pay loans Fear of going insane Fear of not exercising Fear of being too skinny Fear of being shot Fear of being bitten by a dog Fear of running out of gas Fear of not being able to provide for one’s children Fear god doesn’t exist Fear god does exist Fear that you’re going to hell Fear of going to jail Fear of side effects of medication Fear of surgery going wrong Fear of drunk drivers Fear of being caught driving drunk Fear of not having the perfect body Fear of being seen as negative Fear of being a party pooper Fear of farting in public/being caught farting Fear of being heard using the toilet Fear of losing your keys Fear of being late for work Fear of sleeping in late Fear of going to the dentist Fear of pain Fear of eating junk food/not eating healthy Fear of getting in an accident Fear of being pulled over by cop Fear of one’s marriage failing Fear of losing custody of one’s kids Fear of going deaf Fear of not being able to speak Fear of being paralyzed Fear of being dependent Fear of being accused of something you didn’t do Fear that you won’t like the meal you ordered Fear of overeating Fear of becoming obese Fear of crying in front of others/being seen crying Fear of paying too much Fear of having your money stolen Fear of not being able to walk Fear of being confined to a wheelchair Fear of never having sex Fear of dying a virgin Fear of having food on your face Fear of not having any talent Fear of not having any skills Fear of being seen naked Fear of forgetting Fear of running out of time Fear of having nightmares Fear of one’s children being harmed Fear of smelling bad Fear of choking Fear of your possessions being stolen Fear of your house burning down

If you identify any more fears, write them down and add them in a comment.

An interesting thing, is you can actually look at each of these fears, and see how these have been/are capitalized upon within the current system, where businesses and industries appeal specifically to these fears that humanity exists as, in order to sell more products/services to make a profit.

And also conversely you can look at the industries/services that exist and particularly how they advertise, to see what fears we exist as, that they play off of, or attempt to. You can actually drive down a business street and look at the products and services offered, and how they are advertised, and this will indicate many of the common fears humanity exists as. Like a locksmith, or security systems. That would appeal to the fear of having your possessions stolen/being robbed. Why do we fear that? Because it could happen, and we aren’t taking action to prevent theft, but only deal with it after the situation in which someone would want to or feel the need to steal something has already been created, we never address the underlying root cause of the problem which is that not everyone has equal access to what’s here, and thus some want what others have, or can’t afford what they need and thus have only the option of stealing it, and thus those of us that have what others don’t, we must use locks to keep things from being stolen.


Or like a beauty salon or plastic surgeon, which appeals to several fears, like fear of aging, fear of being seen as ugly/unattractive, fear of not attracting a partner, fear of being judged by others, to name a few.

Or a church, appeals to the fear of going to hell, being judged, being punished by god.

If you watch TV, commercials also will show examples of what we fear, and TV shows and movies. Like shows with superheroes, for example, show us what we fear that we wanted to be protected from, like crime and violence, and there we give in to an idea that an individual with fantastical powers can save us, because that way we don’t have to take action ourselves, and why would we not want to do that? Fear. Fear of change, fear of losing my comfortable lifestyle.

And of course one can investigate one’s own relationship to fear, as the fears that one experiences within one’s day to day living. Suggest to read and follow the Journey to Life blogs, where many are deconstructing the patterns we've existed as, as humanity, such as fear, that keep us and the world in the cycles of abuse that we've always existed as, so that we can walk ourselves through the transformation from beings of limitation and self interest, to beings that care for all life equally, so that we manifest the best world possible.

As it is currently, we exist primarily as a reaction to what we've created and create, since we don't have an effective understanding of how it is we've created what's here, as we've done it in ignorance of the consequence. We have law enforcement and prisons to deal with crimes after they are committed. We have hospitals to care for the sick and wounded after they have become sick and wounded. We have charities to give aid to starving and poor, after they are already starving and poor. Becuase we haven't understood how we're creating, we've been perpetually stuck cleaning up the mess after it's too late. And thus it's through this process of getting to know ourselves and how we create what's here, as there is no one else doing it but us humans, that opens up the opportunity to change ourselves, our actions, and our approach to living in this world, and to therefore stop creating these situations in the first place, as Prevention is the Best Cure.
