Page 98 - Spirit - A Journey Through Embodiment

indigenous society is one where freedom, self-sufficiency and
independence is the key, where a community is formed and all
contribute for the common good of all members of that
community. Crime is nonexistent as there are no written laws
to contravene and importantly there is a strong code of respect
and a strong spiritual presence. There is very little serious
conflict and any that does occur is dealt with within the
community. Compare this with the social system that exists
around us. We are in a society that controlled by laws that are
made to protect those in power from those who are their
servants. It is a society that has lost its individual
independence and freedom. It is a society that has controllers,
who control politicians who legislate in favour of those who
control. Then we have those who are inveigled into electing a
hierarchy to be subservient to and who have in effect sold
their rights in return for being permitted to live in this society.
Spiritual needs are supposed to be satisfied by the various
religions that operate in conjunction with the political
structures. Let us see the world that we are presenting for the
four year old. It is daunting and spiritually un-supporting. The
only option the child has is to learn how to conform. The child
is quickly thought about money, but only how to add and
subtract it, how to earn and how to spend it. The child is
exposed to materialism and to the control that materialism
imposes on its future decisions. Its moral compass is set by
religion, it is thought fear.

There is an urgent need for the system to change to
accommodate the spiritual needs of humankind. The direction
that humankind is currently taking is finite. We all know how
when things are going well for us, we hope it will never end
