Living Earth Life

We have spoken of death, now let us talk about living. It is often said that in order to
live one has to experience the pain of death. When one discovers that there is no pain in the
final stages of the process of death then the fear is released and the living begins. See how a
person who is diagnosed as terminally ill changes their attitude to the life they have been
living and strike out to get what it is they most wanted from life before it’s too late. It is a pity
that such extremes had to be reached before they would decide to do this. Life is there for the
living at all times but it is up to the individual to live it. How many subject themselves to a
life of servitude to a system which is at it’s very best corrupted by power seeking.

This is what we wish to discuss this time. Humankind constantly seeks to develop but
only within the parameters decided by those who are in control. Humankind is unaware of the
agenda that the system has nor is the system aware of it’s own agenda. Where does the
corruption come from? The corruption comes from those who control the system. And who
controls the system? Now that is a very good question. You are part of the system and the
system is in place for you. You might ask why then does it not do you any favours? The
reason for this ineffectiveness in your favour is because you are not in control. The system of
living in the western world was devised by civilisations that existed long ago. These
civilisations devised a system that controlled the masses for the benefit of the few in control.
Modern philosophy is based on the reason that these civilisations expounded in exercising the
control and thus modern society is governed by a system based on an out of date philosophy.
You can take control of your own life and indeed you have a duty to your self to do so. This
does not mean that you have to walk over your fellow humankind but it does require you to
be conscious of your own feelings in relation to living and your need in that. If you do not
exercise your rights in relation to your feelings then what is the point of having feelings or a
point of view. We have talked before about individuality. In your exercising your response to
your feelings you express to the world your point of view – provided that response is not
controlled by the system. If it is controlled it is a conditioned response in favour of the
system. You have heard and maybe even taken part in mind control courses. These are
courses to condition your response to a given situation. It is not your individuality that is
expressed rather the safe option in favour of the controller. And that isn’t living.

So what is living? One word that could be used for this is freedom. The freedom we
speak of is the right and will to clearly express our response to your feelings and points of
view without the fear of criticism or censure. Think what it is in life that you are unhappy
about and what it would take to make the necessary changes to your life to make it happy or
happier. What is it that is stopping you from achieving that happiness? Whatever that is
represents the first task you need to undertake in order to begin living. You will find that the
journey to your goal will be more interesting than the achievement of reaching your goal.
When you do reach your goal you will then realise that it is not your final destination but the
