Well then, consumer is the perfect name isn't it! It's sad to think that we perpetuate this charade with our hard earned money, most of us never having a clue as to what is going on. The brainwashing hits us at so many levels. Just another con that does two things, it reminds us that we are unworthy and unacceptable as we are, and funnels our resources and turns them over to the select few.
It can be discouraging, and there are times that I get so angry, it feels like being repeatedly violated, but there is one thing that keeps me going... I want to be here to watch this psycho reality crumble and I sure hope I get to.
Yes -- we've all been repeatedly violated!
It's all a charade.
...our hard earned money...
Even using this 'terminology' is part of our brainwashing -- playing their money game and applying 'worth' or 'value' to everything.
Here are some examples. Is a stick of gold really more 'valuable' than an apple? Am I more 'valuable' than you? If I work hard at something, is that something to be 'judged' by its 'worth'? Who's to judge? This is all very subjective. However, if we accept that everything is of equal value and all of us are to be treated equally, that would be a great start!
All I know is the hardest I've ever worked (and the happiest I've ever been), I never got paid a penny. Money never motivated me and I didn't know why until I found out it was all a scam much later on. Money is a barrier set up between us and what we need and want. As you put it perfectly:
Just another con that does two things, it reminds us that we are unworthy and unacceptable as we are, and funnels our resources and turns them over to the select few.
Money also does this: it keeps us enslaved and in debt.
The fact that money (all forms of it including barter and trade) is a scam is one of the hardest lessons for people to 'get'.
Sorry, I think I'm getting a bit off-topic.
I want to be here to watch this psycho reality crumble and I sure hope I get to.
Me, too!
