So good and clear, thank you.

Our mad system is born of our collective madness: identification with the voice in our head called “me”.

This egoic voice is by definition a blindness to greater awareness. And we are drawn to content instead of structure.

Notice that virtually all arguments about politics and society remain at the level of the particular issue. Even when someone mentions the greater system it is done within the context of the ‘two opposing sides’ which are currently doing battle. Always focused on the issue at hand we don’t simply step back to say: your argument is unloving and unkind. It leaves people behind. There are more than enough resources for every single being on this planet. Would you select this for your own child? Humans have a biological need for safety/food/water/shelter/education/health and more.”

This should be the stock answer to every single debate. This would elicit the response that we are competitive and cruel animals and that we can’t override human nature. It is here that they are wrong. It is at this point that their egoic minds are distorting reality.

This is because we are not only propagandized by society but also conditioned by our survival brain to believe that ‘dog eat dog’ , superior vs inferior thinking and behaving is our human nature. We are in essence propagandized by our own inner oligarch ( the ego) which makes use of this distorting information from the survival brain without informing us of the other vast part of our nature —love, compassion, empathy, sharing.

Forcing the debate away from the issue of the day and toward human nature is key. No one wants to take the side of being unkind uncaring and unloving. We biologically would not trust that person for too long. They are forced to justify their inability to express kindness and love using the human nature argument. And this is the field upon which we should be playing and revealing truth. Every time.

Caution them that the AARP does not count as a union. They are huge corporate cocksuckers.
