Re: We are no victims, we chose to be here - Freeman
Hi
I posted this video to start a discussion about victim conscioussness and how it does affect us and may or many not have been the cause that keep us locked in this paradigm of constant waring and other ups and downs of life in which we feel victimized and disempowered. Freeman in this video (which is the 3rd of 5) says
"..As I became awake and aware I went through the different cycles of grief that all of us do when we realize we have been dupped and I felt anger, I felt sorrow, I went thorugh all the different satages until I realized acceptance, until I understood I chose to be here, and [B]released myself from the victim mentality[B] that wants to be the dark hero, the enemy is manufactured...
I am able to speak of love and smell the flowers....I was always in a wonder world and was able to express joy....and it is this message that is forgoten from all the methods of indoctrination that we receive
There is this email from this man that thinks that the evil is coming from outside when we must realize that the evil is generated by us because we support the system that creates it
So what I find empowering from his words is that by accepting that we are co-creating the system that we don't like and releasing the blame to others we can heal and forgive ourselves and move on, but how did we created it in the first place?
We created it with our subconscious mind, 93 pct of us that we do not know. We can of course try to know what is that other 93 pct, but if you are tired and just don't want to study more for a while, that is ok too
What can be done? ....Become mindful...there is a very simple and cunning method and that is the 6 minutes awareness check up. It means that every six minutes you check what you are thinking and if you are thinking what you don't want to see in your life, you just say to yourself, no I chose to think this instead, without judgegement, sadness or guilt, just change what you are thinking for what you want to see in your life and move on, do it for as long as you can comfortably, ther is no goal, no end line, just practice makes perfect that is all....like when one learns to ride a bike
And report here if you want how you are getting along and how your life is changing
The bottom line is, to have a victim you have to have a victimizer but if there is no victim the victimizer has to find another job
Love to you all

Re: We are no victims, we chose to be here - Freeman
If you buy the idea that every life form is a spark of the same being, then we are all both the victims and the victimizers. I do believe that every breath we take is by choice, and I also believe that when a rebel in Rwonda hacks off the arm of a child, it is all of us hacking off the arm of the child. When a fighter pilot drops a bomb on a wedding in Kandahar, we all share responsibility. At the same time, when someone extends a hand in friendship, we are all extending that hand, and when one of us commits an act of kindness, we have all committed that act. We are one.
The only explanation that makes any sense to me is that we (the universal we) are a conflicted being, capable of both destruction and creation, torture and kindness, hatred and love, death and life. I believe that the only way we can be healed is to choose to create rather than destroy, extend kindness rather than inflict pain, love rather than hate, and embrace life rather than death. We can only do this as individual sparks. The more of us who choose rightly, the faster we will be healed.
