To Believe
You have never believed right until you wish for others what you wish for yourself. What does that mean? Simply to love. In life situations present themselves before you, these situations are paths offered to you by God. He splits the road ahead of you, giving an opportunity to turn from your straying ways. So often these opportunities are missed completely without even a hint of notice by the trotter. And why is that? There is a lack of awareness in the common individual to recognize his own ability to direct himself. With my eyes closed I’ve strapped myself to the track leading me in circles until eventual death.

Not until I witnessed my close friend sacrifice all his material possessions and donate his physical body to God did I understand this capability in an individual. I pondered how my friend could break the chains that held him dependent on the system I could not imagine "escaping". I began to study the knowledge that empowered him to lay at his feet the ruler of men. Greed, selfishness, lust, vanity, idolatry, and pride all lead to hate. I was trained to consider these characteristics as normal, acceptable and often encouraged. Then I learned to easily realize how they lead to hate, because I realized there was something to learn.

I learned to see how greed leads men to hate those that had and that didn't have. It trained men to envy the rich and resent himself, the poorer. This selfishness compounded the desire for pride. The hate to lift himself above those on his own level because of his desire to be like the "high ups" that in turn hated him for his lowliness. We can see it at all levels of society throughout the world. I can see the young gangster hustler buying up the fancy jewelry, rims for his car, and any other material item that gives the illusion of prominence. In the end where does this money go? To the ruling designers of the economic system that do nothing to realistically benefit these individuals.

Imagine this scenario, the farmer grows his corn and sells his crops to the distributor. Then with the money he made from the sale he purchases more seeds to grow more corn. And who does he purchase the seeds from? The same distributor, not even disguised as a non-affiliated entity. So what is wrong with this? The farmer is being raped; he is being raped and kept at leash end. This is an actual depiction of what takes place throughout the agricultural industry all over the world. Corporations trademark certain strains of crop that they genetically engineer to not produce seeds which would allow for replanting. This forces the farmer to purchase seeds in order to grow that strain of crop. He is obligated to grow only that strain of crop because the purchaser of the crops regulates that only that strain is allowed. This is achieved by implementing food and trade policies that control the crop, allowing it to be considered property. These corporations patent the seeds and threaten the farmers with lawsuits if they set aside seeds for the next year or even if they shared seeds with other farmers. The corporations are able to dictate the prices they pay and the costs for the farmers to do business because they control all aspects of the business. This converts the farmers into slaves. They are no longer business owners, merely servants of the employers. Historically the races of humans have known the practice of farming. We have worked with each other sharing seeds, learned techniques, material, & experience out of selflessness. The breakdown of a community style trade has been instigated by selfishness and greed.

This economic structure is a reflection of the social structure. With these successful ventures increasing the wealth of few rather than many we see the true desires of these individuals. Unfortunately the “democracy” of America eagerly associates wealth with leadership. The more money a corporation or individual has the more power they wield. Our society is an imitation of the ideas and desires of the ruling class. When we watch our televisions (which has become a tool used successfully for evil purposes) we see fairytale worlds. We as individuals concern ourselves more with the breakup of Nick and Jessica than the deaths of millions of children every year around the world. We vibe to the music of Ludacris and admire his material possessions and lifestyle. We envy all that these social role models portray, which includes their lack of respect and lust for women. I see him riding his pimped out Mercedes with three fine bitches while smoking a blunt and laughing at the sorry brother on the street that never “cops” nothing. His name is exactly what he is, ludicrous. The majority of youth grow up watching these images with admiration, the majority of youth only witness these images on the television. They see none of that as reality. Their reality is watching their parents struggle to survive. They grow to hate the idea of struggle and see the lifestyles of these “role models”, their methods to fame, and they imitate. They learn that it’s a dog eat dog world. They want to satisfy their dictated desires of physical satisfaction. The tactics in a dog eat dog world include lying. Everyone has been trained to lie. Everyone lies. It can be one of the hardest things in the world to accomplish, a mentality to NOT lie. Lying leads to secrecy and secrets are kept within yourself or individuals. This then leads to selfishness, and when you admire yourself you create an ego and pride.

The thought, wishing for others what you wish for yourself, lingers on in the back of our minds. We were all born without the mentality of hate and selfishness. These dispositions have been trained into your minds. And fortunately there is the mentality gifted to humans that never kills our conscious, at most we suck the blood from it leaving it numb. One critical milestone that needs to be achieved is realization that true happiness is living as equals with love. True happiness comes from others and not yourself. When you are surrounded by people that love and bless you with all their hearts, then you shall understand. Building a community based on love and selflessness is a solid stake for the foundation of a world based on love and selflessness. Figuring out the method to best achieve this foundation is what we need help on. The first step is learning to wish for others what you wish for yourself. This is the ideology we all must conceive and make reality.

This can be especially difficult for the believer of this ideology. Understanding the true meaning of loving others means to dissect your own soul and mentality. It’s much simpler to judge others than yourself. This is why it is so critical to endure the faults of fellow people that hear and try. You yourself have faults that you won’t be able to identify without an outside voice that can recognize them. Another person in my life helped point out my selfish nature hiding behind the front of selflessness. I am forever thankful that these individuals were there to point out the correct path in the fork in the road for me. No one is able to unbind the cuffs around their hands without help. Once we are able to be 100% honest with ourselves and others we realize that we need the help and love of others. And though we’ve been shown there are paths to choose, we still need the experience of others to know which is the way leading to peace and love. We must unite and be dedicated to the right revolution.
