If you blame wealth and power, you're no longer in control and are under stress like a slave

If you blame wealth and power, you're no longer in control and are under stress like a slave.

You will tend to project onto those to whom it most easily sticks if you rely on others to make important decisions for you. Why will you project like this? Because it helps you temporarily to 'escape' from the problems you created for yourself.

The best politicians are super at convincing you of this approach in life. 

For example, if someone asks you what stocks or assets to invest in, they will never be in control of their decision because somebody else will have decided for them. This will be a difficult to control stress factor for them because it was not them who decided but an authority figure or expert or just somebody else.

If they decide in their own right, even if they lose in the end they won't have suffered that stressful slave-like condition where they're not in control. They will be well in the mind still. If they believe what someone else told them to believe, even if they win, it will only have been a win in material terms. Where it matters they will now lack that much more self esteem.

So the difference between a free man and a slave is that you make the choice. 

Whatever that is for you, make the choice, in your own right, and you will remain in control of your destiny. That's not to say it will succeed materially. It is to say that you made the choice and that makes you a free man. Not a slave. 

There are many materially poor freemen. And an overwhelming majority of wealth slaves.

Do not blame wealth and power. Its a projection. You use to escape from the problems you have created for yourself in the world.

PETITION: Government to indicate countries of the UK are open to accede to the US

Sign the Petition A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious con...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...
