We all want to get back to the point in our lives where there was no worry about next week's bills, no issues about Trump and Obamacare, no care about the latest social issue to hit the feeds.
That point early in our childhoods when it was us, our families, and the bright, big world ahead of us. Our minds were quiet and if you were raised in a functional place, you could have a good time with just about anyone around ya.
This ended when education came, when bullies and homework and "college prep" entered in. Televisions started breaking out conflicts of murders and disease, and our bright world turned dim.
Many, maybe even you yourself fell into the treadmill of society, the cycle of working to pay bills to buy things to pay more bills to always looking forward to Friday, I'm sure you know about it by now.
And in a quest to get out of the rat race, you've stumbled across Bitcoin and Silver and starting a business and becoming a blogger on Steemit so that you could one day be free from all of this hassle, so that you could form a decent living for your family.
But then you start looking at the price every day or week and eye-ing the latest crypto news because you have that fear in the back of your mind that all of this could go to zero and sh*t could hit the fan at any moment.
I get it. We all want to just be free from this Matrix bullcrap, but don't know an inkling of how to.
For some, you live alone and in a city where you have to keep paying rent and taxes. You don't know the land and so you can't live off-grid. You're fed up with the sensationalism that has creeped across all of your YouTube and social media feeds, and if anyone challenges your vibe you kick them to the side.
For others, you have a girlfriend or boyfriend and you want things to work out, but the bills have him/her working more and more, instead of you two enjoying quality time like in the beginning of your relationship. Now you fear that they could get someone else at any moment, that they probably already do and that you're not aware of it, and you fear that all of this stress is getting in the way of your career.
Careers, investing, saving, it's all our quest to ween ourselves off of this dreaded system and just live a good life. Our plans go from a few months, to a year or so, and before we know it, we're still working hard at 35.
And coping is hard.
- Getting stressed and falling into "comfort" food.
- Smoking weed to twist your reality a little after a long week.
- Going out for some drinks and having a little too much to get yourself loose.
We do it because we know something is wrong, something we can't place into words nor deal with effectively. And a few of us get trapped in that cycle of avoidance and never get around to reaching what we set out to do when we were 12.
"Pick your poison: Flouride or Plastic?"
"Pick your path: School or work?"
There is a Way Out, But You Won't Like It.
If you want to stop the cycle of bills, stop the constant need to check your phone or the web or anything, and just get back to a point of solidarity with your friends and family, it will take a lot of work to undo because the level of damage we've done to ourselves is so vast.
So vast in fact that I'm not sure you'll end up following through, but make it a challenge for yourself. Plant the seed in your mind that you know what kind of life you want, and you will find yourself there before your last breath.
Here are some seeds to plant if you want MAXIMUM health, abundance, and harmony with the world around you:
Cut the Digital, Connect with your Neighbors.
Learn the Local Plants
Chances are that most of us aren't native to these lands, and so our genes aren't optimal for survival where we are. But this doesn't mean that learning about the local plants are a fruitless endeavor.
Nature has everything we need to survive and thrive -- it has ever since we've been here. While almost all of us haven't a clue what any of the plants around our house do, it doesn't hurt to inspect and try -- the internet has that sort of knowledge for nearly every plant in the world. It's also strongly recommended to find a local that knows the plants. If you're not careful, eating the wrong things could seriously harm or kill you.
But there are plants for clothing, plants for building, plants for medicine, plants for psychedelic experiences, even plants for deodorant and mosquito repellents! None of it costs a dime out there if you or your tribe can find it.
Forget the Bitcoins, Stack Silver and Knowledge
While the goal is to forget about money, in the meantime we need a trade network to fairly exchange between the people around us. Not everyone knows about the plants or how to grow food, and not everyone can knit clothes or defend the turf.
This isn't about the price of silver, this is just about getting it in your hands and telling others that they can exchange the metal for cash if they ever need to. Divorce yourself of needing to get rich in the future, and focus on building the knowledge and the contacts today. And you may need the internet of course in the beginning, many of us don't seem to have any friends anymore, so there are tools that can be used.
If you know somebody that can grow food, somebody that can cleanse water, and somebody that can build shelter, that's all you need. Having someone into spirituality, into singing, and into storytelling is a plus, and the list goes on. After a while you won't need to keep up with when the dollar will collapse, because you and your network have divorced the need of a "dollar."
Recognize the Game; We're all Players.
It's all ironic how we've gotten here as the collective human society. We created writing to remember history and now we've forgot it. We created the internet to be more connected and we've ended up disconnected. We created religions to recognize God and then we lost the idea of who we were. We created money to tally wealth and most of us are restrained by it. We created government to create order and then we find ourselves losing rights by the day.
At some point you'll realize that Life is meant to be this difficult game, to test you, to engage yourself in this beautiful universe, to show you that we're just as alive as any other animal. If you want to see what humans were like prior to our supreme f**k up of a civilization, look at the hunter-gatherer tribes on YouTube. The schools and media tell us that we've been on a progressive curve upwards ever since the dawn of agriculture, and that these hunter-gatherers were primitive and outdated. The truth is that these various tribes around the world are just as intelligent and FAR more connected with nature than we could imagine, and far more engaged with their families and their environments, and that they still exist today.
These tribes are at the epitome of self-sufficiency, of strong families, of harmony, and of truth. They don't occupy their time stuck in traffic, or arguing about the #MeToo movement, or pondering the purpose of existence. They are where we wish to be, indeed they are where we were made to be.
Our DNA has been totally screwed up with mixing of genes from all over, with having our ancestors transported overseas, and with all of the toxins in our environment. We find it now hard to live on our own because of the division, and too afraid to inflict real change in our lives because of our dependence on the system instead of on nature herself.
We forget that this is Life, that we are Light, and that we materialized here to engage with Creation.
That this experience is infinite, that we do influence the world all the time, but we're caught up in this fear of something happening to us. We fear poverty, we fear death, we fear the mark of the beast, we fear the tax man getting us, we fear the police state, we fear disease, we fear the 5G grid.
Be done with fear.
Humans were meant to be great, and you can become a master of your own world. Step outside of the sinking rock and create your own revolution.
