Declaration of Independence

 Declaration of Independence

I declare world independence from the oilgarchies and tyrants who have ruled us since our inception.  They have used a variety of means to control and use us.  Mostly they need our agreement and compliance or distraction or supplication in a variety of ways.  They utilize things that we love and are good for us.  They indoctrinate us as children.  They divert us.  They fool us.

We are in a dystopian time.  But a crucial time.  It may seem like things don’t matter.  But you and your world matter.  And a return of a bigger world matters.  The things we want, whether they be simple or complex, are in jeopardy—and we are devouring ourselves and our world.  Not exactly as portrayed—though there is a lot of information out there.  But much deeper.

The powers that be cannot control us without our permission or agreement somehow.  We are too many.  They can pick us off one by one and scare us.  Or co-opt our heroes and leaders and infiltrate our work and social groups.  They can and have reached us where we were weakest and most vulnerable—and most rewarded.  We may be both transcendent and lame.  But it is still your life, your world, and your soul.

If it matters, the oligarchies and tyrants are also chained.  In ways that you are—and to needing you as their matter.  As they reward you with esteem or importance or simpler things—what is yours to begin with; while its is them that have taken them away from you to begin with.

This battle is also spiritual.  Our enemy is also ourself.  We might be fooled by inner beings and chakrology—thoughts and feelings—and indoctrination—and our beliefs—and be co-opted that way.  Spiritual endeavors may be crucial to this fight.  Meditation and Service and amends and stands are crucial.  It is okay to break down and get up again.  It is okay to have been the bad guy and redeem yourself.

It is your world and your soul that is at stake.  And in the end, there will be no authority or group—nor friend or spouse—to answer to or take recluse in—nor diversion to partake in.  But if you engage yourself first; and then the powers that be, you will find liberty and heaven—in this world and after.  You determine your fate much more than anybody else.
