Seeker part 13

The world is not safe.

Isn't this how we are we kept in-line? Control by fear? I like to think back to our natural way of living. I believe we were designed to live in groups/tribes of around 100 people. A balanced mix of old, young and very young.

In those groups we could easily meet eachothers' needs and have plenty of time for leisure and rest. They say that we used to have children at 20 because our bodies are strongest then and that the grandparents (40 years old or so) would raise the children as they are wise while still being physically strong enough to keep up with and protect the children as they grow.

In these the tribes daily threats would include possible animal attacks, the weather and possibly another tribe invading and trying to take over or steal resources. In these moments the tribe would band together eliminate the threat and soon peace would prevail.

Most of our existence would be fairly peaceful, hunting and gathering, cooking, making art and socialsing. A state of fear would defintely not have been our default setting. News of far off events would never reach us and as long as we had food and eachother I believe we would generally live fairly peaceful lives.

Fast forward to today where (if you allow it) news bombards the majority of people for hours a day of “big scary” events happening all over the world. News is manipluated and carefully selected to induce fear in the population. What percentage of stories are positive? This lower vibration created by fearmongering allows those who we allow to have power over us and dictate how we live our lives.

Look at events such as 9/11 or COVID. Events that directly affected a small number (percentage wise) of the population but through the media and manipulation of events caused a wave a fear to run through the population. People quickly gave up their rights and freedoms for a precieved threat that when we look at the facts and figures was not much worse than the flu in the case of COVID.

Children were told that they could kill their grandmas just by being closer than 2m when there was no scientific proof to back up these claims.

This sort of thing goes on on a daily basis at one level or another. It has been going on for generations now. Our parents were some of the first to get images on a global scale through the first televisions. Their parents had the radio and before that the newspapers. All of these tools are able to sway people on a mass scale to feel things that they weren't directly aware of and would have no idea about if they hadn't read or listened to anything that day.

There was a Japanses man who hid on one of the small southern islands of Japan for more than 20 years hiding from the Allies convinced that the Second World War was ongoing and even when people found him and informed him the war was over he refused to believe them.

His world view and way of live was completely controlled by a fear that wasn't even real!

Fear is a good thing. If we didn't fear anything we'd probably be dead or seriously injured. I saw a video of a guy high on meth trying to make friends with an alligator. He had no fear and thought he could pet it and when he tapped its snout a few times it locked it's teeth around his leg.

The problem with fear is when it is our defualt setting. When our decisions come from a place of fear we are living a much-less-than-full version of ourselves.

I remember the fear ingrained in me to get good grades. If I didn't get good grades I would get a bad job and if I didn't get a good job I wouldn't be able to retire. I feared going for what I really wanted and stuck with what was “safe.” Slowly but surely it lead me to a place which I mentioned in a previous post, “I have no control over my life and I will be chained to a desk until I am 65”, which lead to depression and my first and last anti-depressant tablet.

More recently I began to read about the “powers-that-be” and how the world is controlled by the few. I was so worried about 2012 and the “end of the world” and that we were all heading to a techno-cratic hell hole that I decided not to have children. I was scared of the world I would be bringing them into despite having always wanted to be a father.

I overcame that fear when I realised I had the power to raise children that would one day be the ones to help change this world.

During COVID I thought the next big move was being put into place and I ended up investing a lot of money, time and energy into converting my home into a permaculture site where I could be completely self-sufficient. It came from a mix of love and a desire to protect my family with the fear that the world as we know it was ending and no one else really realised what was going on.

Since then I have realised that it was an impossible task. We need eachother just like a tribe needs its members. Family units are too small in my opinion to succeed by themselves. One parent can work while the other looks after the children. However, if many families come together, it still only takes one parent to look after the children but so many more are being looked after and that frees up the rest of the adults to complete other tasks such as cooking, cleaning, making basic supplies and building infrastrcuture for the tribe to fully prosper.

We are told this thing is going to get us or that the world will end because of this and that but when you sit in the moment and actually look at what is directly affecting you in this moment you soon notice that you are safe and that there's way more support than you think.

New ideas for parallel societies away from the top-down power control systems currently crumbling are popping up everywhere. Pepole are moving away from supermarkets who have strangle holds over their suppliers and are buying directly from farmers. Private and alternative crypto-currency projects are being developed to by-pass the current fiat currencey charade. The same is true and in all aspects of our lives including medicine and the body's ability to heal and regenerate itself, as well as new technology saving us time and money such as 3D printers.

99.9% of people just want to live and let live. We are not out to “get eachother” but the divide and conquer methodology is a powerful one, pitting one group against the other whether it be Man U vs Chelsea, Left vs Right, or Brown vs White. There's always going to be someone or something that is out of line and could be considered as a threat but where is your focus? Most football fans aren't hooligans but if all the news shows you is that they are coming to smash your head in then you will look at everyone in a red ManU shirt through those eyes.

If we are able to just step back with love in our hearts we will see that below the superficial differences we are all the same, a spiritual being having a brief human experience. How we proceed with that is up to us. Once we treat our neighbours like ourselves the rest will drop away as we awaken to the fact that life truly is a beautiful, wonderful and safe experience.
