Things will change.  Slowly.

Yeah you're right.  Change is always constant, right?  :wink:

Basically, I'm just making the point that all these institutions, such as corporations and governments, that conspire against society for their own benefit are only doing what we demand they do.  Take Big Pharma for example.  As long as the major pharmacutical companies continue making billions of dollars from consumers with cancer or other illnesses, they will of course do anything in their power to prevent anything from interfering with that by conditioning society into believing there is no cure through mass media, and that their chemically made medicines are the only thing that will subdue or relieve their illness.  They of course heavily influence governments to pass laws against anyone or anything that gets in the way, which include natural cures.  Does anyone actually think they want the sick to get well?  They don't want us to die of course, well at least not all the time  :evil:, because we pay their bills and their lifestyle.  But the way the system is setup, it's only logical that they want to keep society sick.  A corporation can't make money by being ethical.  They wouldn't survive.  Big Pharma is just one example.  This is the personality of most all institutions because this is the personality of mainstream society.

So again, as long as the majority of mainstream society continues believing they must consume pharmacutical medicines to get "well" because their doctor told them so, and because all the commercials tell them so, and as long as they keep believing that naturally grown cures are nothing more than hippie crackpot snake oil because the movies and T.V. tell them so, then marijuana will continue to be illegal, and it will continue to be extremely challenging for others to get the real cure that actually works.

Like I've said before.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of this.  Everything is working exactly as it is intended.  Everything that occurs is our choice.  Otherwise it wouldn't occur of course.  :wink:  The system is setup exactly the way we chose to set it up, all to satisfy the demands of our ego.  These are all excellent learning opportunities however.  As every single moment is our own personal learning experience, we should collectively learn to work through these issues.  If we didn't have these conflicts, or any conflicts for that matter, we wouldn't have much to learn from.

Everytime protestors get out into the streets and protest against companies that perform unethically, the protestors are in a sense protesting against themselves because they are protesting against the very institutions that we ourselves created to suit our demands.  Sure, the company in question will implement new policies within reason to satisfy the protestors, but the new policies DO NOT change the person.  So what happens next?  Everyone goes back home and continues doing the same thing they've always been doing: Serving the self, serving their ego, and more times than not, the new policies end up being worse than before while at the same time 10 other companies are cropping up that will behave unfavorably towards society in some form or another.  It is impossible to change anything outside ourselves, so trying to change our institutions with protests or revolt will do nothing to change the system, because once again We as a collective are the System.

Just FYI, everytime we spend money at a grocery store, a department store, or practically any place of business that feeds our institutions throughout the globe, we cast our vote and give our support to the destruction of our ecology by supporting aggriculture, oil, hydrolic fracturing, chemical refineries, etc.  We give our support to many many other conflicts accross the globe because we all live out of harmony with the planet, with nature, and with each other by obsessively satisfying the demads of our ego.  To keep up with the increasing demands of society our institutions, which include our governments frequently have to go to extreme measures to keep up with those demands, such as wars, occupation, genocide etc..  So when someone talks about how terrible it is that our institutions prevent the use of substances that has the potential of saving lives, or how terrible this corporation is or that corporation is, or how stupid our laws are, etc., my question is always:

IS THIS A PROBLEM?

If it is, then what can we do to solve the problem?

Each and everyone one of us could easily grow our own hemp if we wanted to.  We could grow absolutely anything we wanted that could improve our lives, and there's nothing our institutions or laws could do about it if we would all support each other.  We could do absolutely ANYTHING we wanted and have a society never before experienced in the history of our planet if we all served one another instead of serving ourselves.  Global Unifcation is THE solution.  I'm not interested in how utopian that may sound to some.  Again, that is just more conditioning by mainstream media.  I understand that the majority of society is dominated by belief systems and of course the ego at the present moment.  Overcoming them is of course part of our learning experience.  However, global unification and world peace is not impossible.  It is inevitable.

So again, our institutions are not the problem.  There is no problem.  At the end of the day we only have ourselves.

Yes, a lot of industries and corporations would be affected, most especially Big Pharma.  And yes, hemp is a cure for cancer, as well as a cure for many other diseases.

Hemp will never be legalized because once again the "System" demands it.  And who is the System?  WE are for the umpteenth time.  :lol:  As long as the current mindset of the global society remains the same then don't expect anything to change.

Well either way hopefully will be a good thing if it happens :)

If "it" happens?  :?  And, if "it" is not "good" or what you "hoped" for, then just choose something else.  :-)

The video sounds interesting, but it has nothing to do with my own personal reality.  However, I am currently watching an AWESOME video at this very moment that has everything to do with my own personal reality, but it has no title.  :wink:

Oh, and... Wha'ts 2012?  :?

I can't watch her... I simply can't.

Hehe, yeah I can understand how you feel.  But from another perspective the Blackmores, the Randis, and others have been great for my own learning opportunities, and I'll explain why.  There were times when I was entertained by Susan and Randi's comments because whenever I would listen to their comments my ego would kick in and I couldn't help but get the serious giggles.  :lol:  And to the other extreme I would catch myself watching shows like the Jack Van Impe show and find myself getting the biggest laugh.  Then later I would search myself and examine why I would be entertained by what I perceived to be so amusing.  I soon discovered that it was nothing more than my ego taking control combined with my own belief systems - a VERY powerful combination.  I then turned this into my own little project.  Attachments can be quite a challenge to let go of, and there are many many attachments.  So I would keep watching these shows while practicing letting go of more attachments to my own deeply embedded beliefs.  The more you explore your beliefs the more you surprisingly realise how many there are.  Some are so extremely subtle yet so extremely powerful it can take an entire lifetime on Earth to free yourself from them all.

It's important to keep in mind that there are no right or wrongs.  Just as every snow flake is unique, and each individual has their own unique finger prints, each and every individual has their own unique perceptions and their own unique learning experiences and their own unique reality that has nothing to do with any other individual in their own path of self realization.  I eventually started watching these shows and listening to these individuals without any judgement or bias and without being attached to most if any other beliefs that I am consciously aware of, and I can honor and deeply respect anything they feel to be true for their own reality.

Anytime I experience an event and I feel a nudge, whether positive or negative, I realize that there is an attachment somewhere that is causing the resistence.

Yeah, whether it's a tunnel, a garden, a heaven, or a hell, the experience is all dependent upon one's beliefs.  And what is this afterlife they speak of?  :roll:  What exactly is after Life?  If you look at it from an atheist perspective where you no longer exist beyond this realm, then the term afterlife is irrelevant anyway.  If you look at it from a spiritual perspective where you believe life continues after the body expires then the term is still irrelevant, LOL.  Given that there is life beyond this realm, is there anything other than life?  That's like saying everytime I get out of my car I have just entered the afterlife.  :lol:  It doesn't make much sense.  :|  But yeah, I understand why the term exists.  I'm just pointing out the silliness of the word.  :-P

Also, it's somewhat entertaining to observe scientists obsessively try to come up with the fountain of youth, or to extend life as long as possible - and not just scientists, but has been the dreams or vanity of many people throughout many cultures because they fear this event that the global society refers to as "death".  I mean I guess from an atheist point of view where they believe life ends, or from a materialistic point of view where they fear to lose their possesions, I can somewhat understand the fear.  But wanting to live forever within this reality here on Earth is like wanting to stay in kindergarten forever, bleh.  :-o  Eventually you must move on or else you will reach a point where you will cease to progress.  Where's the fun in that.  Talk about monotony to the extreme, hehe.  :-o

Also, the brain is basically a receiver, a receptor, a regulator, a tuner, and a filter.  Memories, dreams, and beliefs are not stored in the brain.  Information is not stored in the brain.  Images are not stored in nor do they originate in the brain.  So when the brain is being deprived of oxygen when the physical body is expiring, the neurons firing off DO NOT create the images we see when we move on beyond this reality, or not, A.K.A "die".  There are many things we still don't know about the brain, but one thing is for certain, the brain does not create any images, illusions, halucinations, and it does not store information.  It accesses.  Again, it's much like a receiver or an antenna.  It accesses information that already exists, and the information we receive is based upon the input request from the programmer - You.  It is an input/output device.  So when events happen, such as "death", sudden head trauma, drugs, "halucinagens", etc., the brain is being altered to access or tune into information in a way that is not normally done in a normal, average conscious state, so anomolies happen, such as the so called "halucinations", but they are not halucinations.  They are realities the brain is temporarily tuning into that is outside our normal experiential reality.  There is no such thing as halucinations.  That is just a term we coined to explain this event because many do not understand what is happening when part of our brain is tuning into a reality where our beliefs and perceptions can immediately become part of our reality.  Even when the so called halucinations have no physical effect or do no physical harm, which is most often the case, it does not make the experience any less real.

So 5 million dollars eh?  Well, sounds like fun I guess.  It'll be interesting to see what they discover and what conclusions they come up with.

And if those who are taken in by these conspiracies out of fear, realized how irrelevant conspiracies are, whether true or not, there would be no need to do any research to validate them.  These conspiring institutions just wouldn't matter anymore.  As far as the fate of the global society is concerned they DON'T matter.  They are not important.  They are not relevant.  They are only relevant to those who choose to make them relevant.  But I think a lot are taken in by these conspiracies out of entertainment.  Kind of like Jerry Springer in a sense.  People are bored and just need something to do to entertain their ego and this is one of them.  Governments, corporations, religions and other institutions don't exclusively decide the fate of society.  To many it may seem like they do, but they don't.  They participate in this System just like everyone else participates, but they do not exclusively hold all the power.  They are equal participants in the System.

And like I've said before, all our institutions are nothing more than a reflection of society.  They were formed out of the necessity to meet the demands of society.  They are a symptom of society, a result of society, and so on.  They can only do what we allow them to do, whether we agree with what they do or not.  And if they conspire against society to satisfy their greed and their desire for power then so what.  They are no different than the average mainstream individual, because individuals throughout society are always conspiring against others in one form or another for their own self interest and personal gain.  Again, all our institutions are a reflection of us, and therefore contain the same characteristics.

Personally I find conspiracy theories and actual conspiracies boring.  For myself, I like hiking through mountain trails, and forests, kayaking, spending time with nature, riding roller coasters, and would love to try sky diving, or maybe even base jumping off a mountain cliff - now that would be cool.  8-)  But hey, that's just me to satisfy my own ego.  To those who are entertained by conspiracies, then I certainly don't see anything wrong with it.  It's just not for me.  :wink:  Everyone is unique and like different things.  But to those who are attracted to these conspiracies out of fear of what they could do to society, then you have failed to realize who actually holds all the power, or at the very least have failed to realize the significance of that power.

Nah, it won't stop, because there is no difference between the Light Workers, "New Agers", Christians, Muslims, Conspiracy Theorists, End-of-World Dooomsdayers or any other religion.  They are significantly bound by a very strong and very effective set of belief systems that makes it extremely difficult to free themselves from this bondage.  Just as the Christians will continue believing the rapture will come, so too will the new agers continue to wait for an alien rescue or alien invasion, a 5th dimension, and many others that I'm just not going to list.

The point is, the majority of society is always waiting for something outside of themselves to rescue them from their discontent with this reality - from their perceived unpleasant life.  I guess that's why there are so many super hero movies.  So many people seem unhappy with their lives, not because of the world they see around them.  They may think it's because of the current state of this world, but what most don't realize is the world is nothing more than a reflection of the people, of society.  They're not unhappy with the world, they're unhappy with themselves, but their ego prevents them from seeing this.

The challenge for most is that when you tell people that "It is impossible to change the world around you.  You must change yourself." most just do not comprehend what you are saying.  They know what your saying, they just can't comprehend it's meaning.  It's similar to trying to explain color to someone who was born blind.  Even the new agers will preach that you must change yourself, but I get the sense that a lot still don't fully understand it's meaning because they are yet waiting for that spectacular moment that will change the world.

Stop waiting!  Just let go of everything, and just be.  It's easier said than done to be sure, but there's no time like the present, or rather, there is NO "time", there is only the present.  It's silly to wait for something.  Waiting is reserved for the fearful.  Just live in the moment and be free... or not.  The choice is yours.  There is no "right" or "wrong" choice.  :wink:

So yeah, this will continue, and there will be more of these Galactic Federation of Light announcements.

What's "wrong" with our governments, corporations, and other institutions, and what is "wrong" with it's leaders?
