Last Friday(April 11)a group, including some friends and i, were harrased by the police in the coventry area of Cleveland Hts.(long a bastion of free activity), for the crime of giving away food we had collected and prepared. This is an activity we have participated in every Friday since i and four friends were arrested in the area for playing music about eight months ago. More will be written of this soon to come, along with some photos(includind an especially humorous one of a cop trying to throw our stuff away...)Interestingly enough, they left two hours later for we were not breaking any of thier stupid laws anyhow, although it is irrelevent if we did. I'm sure there working on it now...
i mentioned all this, for it brings me to this essay. As Thureau wrote"...they do not rule by ... superior intellect, or even superior wit..." Anyone who has even once stood up for what they believe in in the face of this athority realizes the truth-thier rule is one of violence. Thier control arises from the fact that if one does not follow thier orders, however unjust, unmoral, or inane they may be s/he will be subject to this violence. WE must realize also that thier control arises from our willingness to follow it, however unconscious.
One of these ways is through the acceptance of money as a form of control. Without it, ultimately, these dominating forces vanish.
One who truly believes in "naturae" philosophy must likewise understand the inneccessity of currency, including the harm to which it brings us. By naturae philosophy, i describe the teachings of Bhudda, Jesus, Lao Tzu, eastern and native American religions, The phycology of Carl Jung, the bootstrap theory of quantum physics... i could go on; the syncronous content of all mentioned being a grasping of eternal Truth. This is something, consciously or unconsciously, we are all currently striving for, and must be understood as a shedding of our fractured world view. Through this emerging consciousness we see the futility of monetary, external forms of control. Each of us has talents and interests that guide us toward our destinations and goals. Our higher, individuized self is part of a connected whole, following it our actoins are of greatest benefit to ourselves and the whole. Therefore a system forcing her to follow any path is unneccessary, one resisting the natural goals is extremely harmful.
When we dislike our jobs thier is a reason. Anything done just for money is a squelching of creativity and the strivings of the higher self. Thier is a reason that no one wants to do certain jobs. They should not be done. Upon a brighter refletion fast food jobs, subservantile work for power hungy repressed white men, and the construction of weopons are things we can do without. All these will invariably exist under a controlling system of currency.
This system of control must not be seen only for itself. It was formed in our fears, founded on a fractured, five sensory view we are evolving beyond. What we once created, now we must uncreate...
This brings me back to the begining of this essay. We are now witnessing the stress that precedes all evolution.I think the folly of changing things 'from the inside' is obvious. Just as current medical pracice gives a chemical to a man with illness deriving from his stressful, unhappy life, poor nutrition, and polluted environment, then calls him cured while the causes still remain, this society of external power responds to its problems. All politics, regardless of the banners of left or right it labels itself under, are obsolete. Just as the shortsighted doctor, its sight is too fractured and effect too limited to be of any use to a connected whole.
That is the symbol of the fractured view we are leaving behind.
This is a symbol for what we shall find:
Though this all may seem unscientific in nature, it is the very essence of that persuit. Gary Zukav, in "The Seat of the Soul" writes, "Are there forms of life smaller than the eye can see? From the five sensory perspection, the answer was No. Someone did not accept that answer, and the microscope was invented..." We are now finding our greatest discovery of all, shining in the darkness.-dan coate
