Robur Directum Scientia Est via Fortunae

Energy Directed by Science is the Highway to Prosperity

There is a way in which production for its own sake is completely natural – I mean it makes sense.

When you make something – then, there it is. It’s definable, obvious.

It is action, it is activity. It is more.

People can tap into the energy, they can experience it ~ and really this is what we are all after in life!

However, and this is a big HOWEVER – if this production is mis-purposed we have a problem.

The problem being – we have produced growth, activity, excitement around something that is wrong. Therefore this is leading people in the wrong direction. It’s like people waiting for at a station a train or bus does not actually stop at. As far as these birds actually catching the worm, it’s not going to happen.

This seems to be precisely the case with the concept of private property in our society today.

People are like –

I will build something on my property -> people will think it’s awesome – QED – I will be awesome.
So clearly this is an ego based malfunction. One that typifies our cultural bias.

The issue is that in today’s world, we are so bound up by our own private worlds that the sheer number of private properties, not to mention their size and scale; severely out-weighs the numbers of people to actually participate in enjoying them.
This is such a simple equation -> and it runs right through the heart of all of our cultural hang-ups.

Take for example money – in order to fulfill my acts of personal aggrandizement, I am inherently required to hoard vast sums of money to pay for it. So, if there is only a finite amount of any resource, including money, this means that I must find ways of actively taking this money from others.
This dynamic typifies everything that is wrong with our society.
It is the dystopia that drives poverty, it is the fear that breeds greed.

All stemming from the simple desire to improve one’s life, one’s circumstance in life.

Well what can we do in regards to this?

To me the answer is in growing a life from the seed of the inner peace we all know it starts with.

 

World peace begins with inner peace.
What is reflected on the outer is merely a mirror
of what is on the inner.
Trying to change the world without working to change consciousness
is like trying to change the image in a mirror
without changing the object
that is being reflected.
The physical environment and circumstances we experience,
are merely a reflection of our consciousness.
Our consciousness is created by our thoughts — the true creative force.
To change our consciousness we must transform all our limiting thoughts.

So this is where I am today.

This the continual challenge, AKA opportunity: ————>>>

  • Can I find ways to interact with other people in my community that are mutually beneficial? – On an ongoing basis?
  • What would this look like?
  • What would it feel like?

ETC…
