Day 570 Instead of Restricting Speech, Remove Anonymity.


If we decided to legalize drugs then many of the problems associated with the “ war” on drugs would come to an end, and the use of drugs would become more transparent, meaning visible, open, and as such the moving into solving the problems that lead into an excessive use of a  mind altering substance that is really a process of wanting to escape reality, this actual physical world.
If we have a government that is creating laws that inhibit speech, then why not open speech up and make it transparent, meaning if something is written or spoken up about, to require that there be no anonymity? Would this not be the way to hold people accountable, to see what is practically here?
Censoring speech is creating a protection and defense situation where there is an army needed to chase the speech, but if anonymity were no longer allowed, people would be more careful with what they spoke up about, and governments would have to become transparent, and each in their position. Even here, competitors wanting to eliminate threatening products, would have to prove and be open about their complaints. It would seem, as with legalizing drugs, especially with the benefits of lowering crime and creating revenue for towns, to make what is happening with people transparent, removing the fear of punishment and allowing transparency. 
It seems we chose actions that shut things down more than open them up so we can see what we are doing and then begin to find solutions. But we have to not fear opening up what we believe, how we are afraid, and not react to what others may think. Within this, we can realize that development is a process, and mistakes are made, and that this is part of the process of becoming aware. Why do we not see that learning to walk, so to speak, is a process that has moments of falling?
Why don’t we see that we all understand this in how our society is changing,  especially in the internship  situations? I mean, if we have allowed a level of opportunity to cost, after paying for increasingly expensive education that then demands paying for internships to have the opportunity to grow and develop, we can see that we understand development and growth depends on opportunity. So, we are aware within ourselves that in order for a human being to grow , they must have open and direct opportunity to interact, to process, to expand and yet we are allowing money to determine development, when it is development that breeds competency, and as such a human being who is able to walk - so to speak.
So, if we legalize drugs, we open up the dependency and face it, giving space to face it without the fear of facing criminal elements. If we allow the freedom of speech and remove anonymity, we hold people accountable for their actions at every level, in government and in the private sector because what each says they become responsible for, and as such what one may believe in a moment can be corrected which allows everyone to grow and expand. This would allow this world to open up what is closed and hidden and then brought to light, where just as with plants, things begin to expand and grow.
Is it not in facing our fears, our mis-takes, that we open up what we are doing and then enables us to move into more self awareness?  In having opportunity cost money, we are essentially allowing a system that limits opportunity through economics, and then creating laws that punish lack of development that the system format creates. This makes no sense, none, and has no reasoning that can justify it, it simply does not work.
The solution is to legalize drugs, to bring the use of this out in the open so it can be addressed. The solution is to remove anonymity and require that we each put our name to our words, because this is how misunderstandings are turned into understandings. This is how we can give ourselves the opportunity to face our fears, and forgive ourselves for our beliefs that were not what was best for us and as such not what is best for those we enjoy.  A system that realizes opportunity means development, and as it exists at present, costs money, is a system of suppression and punishment, one that punishes a limitation but does nothing to address that limitation, which is like a snake eating its own tail, it does not work and cannot work. I mean this has been going on for a long time, and since the choice is to do more of the same, as in wanting to remove the freedom to speak which is allowing limitation to express its limitation so that the limitation can be addressed and brought into awareness, the system is like, wanting to shut down and hide the very lack it creates, which is not an action of solution in any way. It is an act of rejection of life. It makes no sense because it abdicates its own sense as life, which is the root of the problem. And this is each of us. We are rejecting life, as what we are, as our own capacity, as ourselves as life which is being the sense of the world around us. it is like we are fighting against that which allows us to be. I would say, it is not “ like” it is what we are in essence doing.

Day 253 it is our responsibility to show all consequence when using words on a page.


I was looking for words to practice in the company of a guest staying at my house. She became involved and we started to speak the meanings to some of the words on the list. It appeared to me that she knew more words than myself. I noticed a moment of “ not wanting to look stupid” as a judgement. Then I stopped and let this go. I defined words as I thought I understood them, and then looked up the meaning. If I did not have a clear meaning to the word, I noted it and moved on. Together, the two of us realized we did not know some words as well as we thought. And we laughed and just enjoyed ourselves. It was really just pure “ follow through” as I call it in this moment. Another way to say this is to have direction within clearing up, taking a direction into understanding, letting go all ideas of self judgement, judgement about the other being “ more” and any thought about the task being overwhelming. She and I were simply two people working together. 


I realize that humans build understanding together through communication, through words. Yes, we can within direct physical interaction imitate and learn but in our modern world, we use words to communicate with one another. For this reason, placing words on a page without giving a total understanding, can be used to manipulate within a monetary system of inequality. And, it would benefit some for children to not be able to process information, the IN -FORM ation as words that have come to be used to convey how things work. In essence words on a page are people communicating together.


Thus, any group of words placed on a piece of paper that do not fully reveal all consequences within what the words propose is a crime. And, not taking the time to ensure that all children, all humans can understand the format of the written word within proposals is a crime. If we as a collective of people assume that others can understand words on a page, within the full implications of what those words are building an understanding of,  and we do not follow through in making sure every person understands, and, that our words and descriptions are clear within all consequence,  there is no one to blame but that the very fabric of the collective must understand before decisions are made.

It is easy to see in this that in a profit before life system, this can be used and abused, and this is what is happening. This is unacceptable. Blaming the ignorant is not solution, it is blame. Using this lack for gain, or brushing off the incapable can no longer be allowed, because this is not taking care of the very sound understanding of this earth. We, all of us as people, are the composers of what is sounded on this earth. If we remain in bubbles, thinking we are only responsible for our little bit, then we are not being responsible. A democracy means that each is aware and participating in being aware and ensuring that those around us have understanding. This is why a principle of what is best for all is the only choice. It gives direction within following through, beyond ignorance, beyond lack, beyond abuse. When facing resistance, it means cleaning up what has been accepted as a belief as a limitation. Deconstruction and reconstruction do not happen in an instant, especially within a system that has not been honest within itself as life. Realigning will take time and practice as the “ turn” from judgement into supportive direction will probably be slow. But there is no other choice.

On an individual level, this means letting go of all ideas of inferiority and superiority, it is these emotions, that are the limitation, as they are ideas about good and bad. Such state of being is stagnant. Such state of being is believed to be impenetrable but it is only a constriction that is inferior to movement, to life, to self direction that leads into understanding. Thus, again, there is no choice but to follow through to understanding. This each must realize and move as, forgive all lack, in every moment. This is the only way to align with life, as life would what is best for itself as form absolutely, this is how life can exist. 

So, start walking self forgiveness, to acknowledge the accepted judgements and then change the voices of separation in and as the mind into what is directive within what is best for all because this is the way of life, the way of understanding what supports life, which means self being equal and one to and as life , here.  In essence this is what we are all looking for, and the gift of this is within us as the very sound of us as the words we speak. For this to be allowed, this system of profit for a few must stop. It is simply the manifestation of not understanding life, it is a construct of our own fear, a fear that is a state of non-follow through of self as life. It must be realized that the elite are as delusional and limited as the rest of us, they just dress better in their limited and stagnant state, that is all. What is here as abuse, that is non support and care for this earth, is because the collective as men, are not aligned with choosing in every moment what is best for all.  It is the only choice, it is the way to understanding life.

Day 332 The profit corporate, the liability mass.

Today I read about the austerity cuts in the American government and the turnover of public transportation systems to the private corporate structures where pensions are cut and employees disregarded and the unions defunct, even those trained to stand and fight within the system are rendered useless. This non- allowance of communication has bothered me for a long time, as I see this here within relationships and within the system, people just disallow a voice, the public to speak, and our government agencies keep everything private saying it would effect patients and thus the information is private - this a red flag as it is a hiding behind supposed private ownership. Thus, there has become a systemic way to hide in ownership and so, transparency can be touted by governments but then hidden behind private patient ownership. Even the label meanderings of how things are called within the oil industry, bitmen is not yet “ oil” and thus does not fall under the rules of oil, and thus the oil spill in Arkansas can be kept “private” and non-transparent. It seems that so much these days is kept out of the public eye, and the governing representatives of the people, our politicians and government officials support the private protection, and they must to protect their wages, as they now have a tax on medical products so it is in their profit as salary interest to keep products on the self of private corporations despite evidence that such products might not be what they are touted to be.
In the midst of this maze of layered protection, a hierarchy of ignorance in self interest before what is best for life, because profit has been allowed before life, the laws have turned the cost of production and maintenance onto the taxpayer, and the government supports this, as the very same elected officials benefit from this, as the profits from the corporation go into their pockets and the liabilities are carried by the masses, the public.
And now I see that there are the risings of PB across the country, this is known as Participatory Budgeting. But i have to ask myself where this will lead, if the budgets of local towns and cities are being cut? Is this another pretty picture of hope presented in the face of spending cuts? Is this local officials hiding the fact that there is not enough to “do the job” so instead of having to face the angry mobs of their constituents, they decide to avoid an angry mob by allowing others to decide? Is this really and act of desperation?
I also have read that in Iraq there are private soldiers used to fight the war. Is this the future?
So if we have a government that is no longer working for the people, but working for the corporations - the owners and profit holders of the resources of earth, and we have a public body that holds all the liabilities and who can decide where the local monies are spent - what is left after paying for the work of the hands of men to extract and form resources through corporate dictate- are we supposed to feel like we have gained something? I may not understand this yet, but somehow this does not sound like a system that is supporting life, it sounds like another layer of separation into a system that has become more abusive of life, more ignorant of life, more destructive and of greater divides than any of us can fathom, and are totally blind to.
I am thinking of Afghanistan where the guns of the few who own the means to make such things on such a scale, have rendered Kabul a leveled city, while labels such as “ America” are still touted as the reason, but I don;t think the carriers of liability paid for the guns, yet the collective participated within this so, we all are to blame, as we have allowed this profit based system that breeds inequality, the play out of which is becoming more extreme, and Kabul is the scene of this extreme. And here, what money is sent to rebuild is used to pay the administrators, while sexual abuse runs rampant with the children being the victims, it does not seem like there is any opportunity for a participatory budget system here as there is nothing left with which to budget out!
Yet, perhaps there is a way to learn from participation in budget decisions that will teach us what we have accepted and allowed, as the means to begin to see what we have allowed is ever present, it is only to see it and to make a change.

All of this reminds me of the movie Blade Runner, where the corporation controls everything, and the movie Brazil, where a machine makes a typo error and the paper pushers just want their paper work in order so they don’t lose their job and become one of the liabilities of the liability carriers, where every one is hushed in being glad that it was not their turn to fall.
There is time to get out of this, there is a way to stop this, because there are many who can stand and vote and join together realizing the value is life. What must be realized here is that the resources of this earth are given freely and are here to support life, and all that is here is life. Thus to believe, to be caught up within the lie, that what is of this earth can be owned is to support abuse, to support inequality, as this system of profit, that uses the tool on money to sequester power and control, must come to and end. This does not mean that you will lose your home, we all need a place to live and where we are on this earth while we are here is ours to care for, thus changing to a system of equal money, does not mean that suddenly one will no longer “ own” their home, it means that your home is where you live and is the gift of space on this earth for you to experience life. What some might find is that they might even want to move into a smaller home, that what they have was to “ appear successful” and how much of an illusion they had spent within their life, and when this is no longer the case, they will stand back and say, “ why am I taking care of all this? what if I had something smaller and could give my self time for those things I always wanted to do but never had the time to do?”
Allowing a few to benefit from what is freely given because they are warped and cognitively dissonant from life, as in believing owning more and having more material goods, more than they can possible use at one time, makes them more, because of some illusory divine right, has to stop, and what is the value as in being life, here, communicating with what is here as the physical is the real value and what we all enjoy when we are not stressed and worried about money, can become what is on earth, where we have a direct participation within what is developed and why it is developed, and thus we all vote/participate with understanding and awareness knowing we are taking care of this earth and choosing what is best for all because this is also what is best for self.
It is time to stand and support a system of equality, Equal Money Capitalism. And support a Basic Income Grant. TIme to change this world, because the direction it is taking is going to end up on your door step before you know it, and then it will be too late.
