So ya wanna save the world
Well, we're definitely living in a world that needs saving..but..the world, our Universal Family members making up this world, aren't so keen on CHANGE, FEAR has them gripped by the throats, like the big bad wolf in "Little Red Riding Hood", and though they beg and cry for their salvation, they cling like spiders to the web of imprisoned illusion, they have grown accustomed to.
We ALL KNOW the government is corrupt, the legal system lacks justice, and inequality reigns supreme.
There is no need to hide our faces in shame, or make pretend otherwise, it's all documented facts, and if it's not documented loudly enough, it's spread like wild fire through the masses, via our entertainment mediums such as movies, t.v. shows and internet to keep us up to date with the TRUTHS we choose to pretend aren't really there.
Except, they are.
And WE ALL KNOW it!
Why do we turn the other cheek? Go about living our daily lives as though we aren't affected, making pretend there's nothing we can do about it and our lives are insignificant in the greater scheme of things?
Because that's what we have been told, by those who are running the world, and us - our lives, as they so please, so long, of course, as their back pockets are getting larger and larger with YOUR bulging dollars.
Did I mention, the dollars,they're YOUrs!
That's right, no matter how much you want to make pretend or look away, the bottom line is, YOU are FEEDING the very things, people, systems, corporations, organizations that are keeping us all down, WE ALL are!
Why?
Because we have been brainwashed, disillusioned or otherwise cajoled into believing it was for "our good", our benefit, and what's more, we NEED it! We need to be controlled, we need money to exist and definitely, we DON'T NEED to think for our selves, because there are others who will take care of everything for us.
And WE believe them! So, we give up our individual rights to think, to be who we really are, and keep walking around, living our own lives, as though they are insignificant and have no affect on the WHOLEwhen in TRUTH, they do, WE ALL DO! Let's look at this logically. You have all these parts, that are required in order for your watch to function, your car to drive, your computer to work.
If ONE piece of the WHOLE is affected negatively, the ENTIRE WHOLE is negatively affected, the watch, car or computer is not going to work the way it's supposed to, the way it is MEANT TO BE! There is simply no getting around this FACT.
