Not anymore brother, come come come come

Now they have the machines and AI. Soon they won’t need us.

Congrats, I'm happy for you that you made it to freedom and a wholesome life 🍀💕

First off -I'm sorry about the loss of your soulmate. Second - I'm very glad that you did'nt pull the trigger. I understand how you got to that point. You paint an awesome picture of a life worth living.

Are you stupid?@@richardscathouse

I’m sorry you lost your soul mate. I lost mine about 2 years ago. But thrilled you are thriving and loving your country life!! Sounds amazing!

Is that soke quote from some space head?

Not entirely. People go along in what seems like a state of somnambulism but challenge them an iota and you'll see that they are not as docile as they appear to be. My thought is that while they are going along they are also always wondering (to themselves) if there is an alternative. People never miss a chance to let me know that there is something still roiling under that waxy facade. At the same time -many never miss a chance to let me know , in no uncertain terms , that they are fiercely loyal to the status quo. A person with his own mind, in this culture , as far as I can see , is viewed as a deranged anomaly. I was even called an anomaly by a Mensan , a person who belongs to a group of people who are considered anomalies in their own right. I think right now the weight of the corporate, technological , medical , media chain link is too heavy for most people to challenge. People don't know that there is something beyond all of it. My eyes were opened (a bit) upon reading Plato's Allegory of the Cave. Shadows on the wall . If you're conditioned to think that reality consists of shadows on the wall of a cave then it's VERY hard to believe that actual reality is outside the cave.

​@@bellavia5 it's all about consciousness. If people are conscious of TRUE reality and live by moral principles they will not be fooled or led astray.

“Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.” ― George Carlin

No picture how they would be if they never even made it through High School?

Yeah exactly. No one can 'afford' to retire anymore. The game is rigged and it isn't going to fix itself. Do we not send our children to indoctrination centers, I mean school? How does a parent earn enough money to do this? Its a closed loop system for us common folk, and there is more abhorrent slavery today than there ever was in history. We are taught at a young age that slavery was everywhere back in the day, but thats just to manipulate us into thinking we aren't slaves anymore. The almighty dollar is our master. It feels like there's nothing we can do about it.

Agreed!

The "Social Security" is for me a kind of insurance. I can't retire, the social security is for me a "disability insurance".

@@GBPaddling Agreed. Most people are so entrenched in the system that they would rather kill you than accept they are slaves to it.

True. But the ego-mind exists to keep you distracted, where the term "ego" means the idea of separation from the whole. When you are completely here now in the present moment, you have achieved a state of consciousness that transcends the body, the emotions and the ego-mind. It is simple, but not easy.

​@@jivanvasant Yes it is simple but not easy 😂

It is in plain sight. You just have to look.

nothing new here.

Religion is the same way. Going to heaven is the ultimate promise, and the ultimate scam. All we really do is Reincarnate to do it all over again.

And then what? What’s the answer once everyone has watched or listened to it? There is no answer. Make your own way

​@@Yuri-nc9vl It sucks you are young and have health issues but at least you're wise to what this world is really about.

Ouch, an honest person.

Another grandiose statement. Maybe YOU lied, but it's an extreme stretch to claim we ALL lied.

If the entire education system is flawed as we know it all to be , built on lies , the text book system the standardized test system all of it , if you were half as intelligent to what it all is then you’d know yourself that you were only helping to spread the lies and continue the broken system itself , grades grades grades papers papers papers tests tests tests just to go clock in clock out ear sleep clock in clock out ear sleep clock in clock out , at least the guy who’s talking in this video has the balls and the love to spread a little truth to the world , obviously you didn’t create the system but if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem , clock in clock out eat sleep clock in clock out eat sleep clock in but hey get those state test scores up so your paycheck loooks better too , make sure you’re “teaching the “facts “ they want you brainwashing us with , we really have our kids spending there whole childhood on a flawed and broken education system that is doomed from the start , and Let’s be honest our system is detrimental to a healthy happy sustainable society and the work is shown that it proves itself to be just that.

@@robertbeaulieu460everyone’s lying and you’re lying to yourself if you think that isn’t true

I've been saying for some time now that I cant believe anything I read or see on internet. But that doesnt mean EVERYONE is lying. There are lies, and then there are mistaken beliefs.

The mind is like a feather. Going in whatever direction the wind blows it.

Lovely, thanks!

Actually, not even the present moment is under our control. We think we have the obligation to be in control and much of what we do on a daily basis is motivated by that insatiable need for control. But control will never truly be in our hands whatever we do. In fact, it is only if we learn how to let go of the need for control that we can start to be present, truly present in every moment. The irony is that giving up the mentality of chasing after control will be the closest we will ever come a situation of secure alignment with reality, as it unfolds continuously. Understanding this will give us an understanding of what give rise and maintains our ego. Our illusory sense of self have built a whole universe around this principle of being in the need of security. Its whole existence depends and feeds of off the chase after potential threats and looming calamities. Our deceiving self like to be our watchdog promising us to always be on the lookout and one-step-ahead in order to prevent our destruction. It builds its whole reasons of existence around this task, for our sake no less! And here we are showing signs of unappreciative disloyalties talking trash about our own watchdog that have done so much for us up until this moment. How dare we be so reckless and ungrateful to even question the existence of our own self! Shame on us! But there’s no need for real alarm. Our friend, the watchdog, will continue to be our only true and loyal companion as long as we think we need him and trust him more than our true nature and reality itself. Just like any dog our own watchdog will endure any amount of abuse as long as it feels its mission is still valid and appreciated. Only when we reach our true point of crisis will we understand that the moment of choosing between our watchdog and true reality have come and we will know that a final parting with our watchdog is the gateway to eternal peace that has been eluding us for an eternity. Only at that moment we will understand that it has always been our incessant search for security that have been holding us back from being at peace and in harmony with ourselves and the universe. Only at this moment we realise that it is our own sense of insecurity that have kept our watchdog barking up fears in our heart. With infinite love and compassion we can now liberate our old friend the watchdog from all its obligations and let it roam as freely as it wants without having to attend to our well-being as a stand-in for our guardian angle anymore. Our primordial wisdom have kindled in our heart and we are no longer in the need of a barking watchdog on our front porch. We now know that we are the universe itself and the ultimate protector of all living beings.

We have control over our future if we imagine it as if it has already happened, and if we then take steps to walk towards it.

@@saturdaysun10 Which takes living in the present moment to fathom. Either way the future is not set.

The present is always the present until it's not which is always after the present. So just be in the now as it is with you in the now.

There is no present. We literally live in the future, and every moment that comes by ,instantly becomes the past. We are nothing more than an observers, with the false illusion of control and possession, while in reality we can't even control our own bodies and senses, which constantly deceive us. Things weren't allways like this, but everything we learn about life and history is made from people who run this place for far too long now, and it's all lies.

I stumbled on rescue missions after a head injury in 2007. I had no knowledge of where they existed. they provided shelter, food, clothes and spiritual gatherings. some offered more than others. I realized a person never had to work or fly a cardboard sign for handouts. the Grant money would keep the operation open. it was an eye opener to see what the government would give you when you put the address of of the rescue mission as your residence. I heard conversations from some folks that traveled the Country going from one rescue mission to the next ​@@stevefrazer6101

@@randyalbright7212 Free for grabs. Free in not paying dollars first. Don't be nitpicking on semantics.

Many P Hall does it for me, also

I enjoy work and don't want to buy anything

I have always felt this way but never heard anyone else say it. I have always loved and lived for moments at hand. Never lived for the future. Because I know the future is not promised to anyone. The best thing in life is love. Nothing else comes close. And when your old and you don't have anything else to look forward to you will always have memories. If you're lucky like me you will have kids that love you. Family is all you have in the end, friends come and go but family will always be here for you.

Everything we learn is a foundation for the next thing we learn. What I'm getting now makes what's coming simpler.

You will hardly ever use the math they teach in high school . It’s a joke and shame on this country and administration.these poor kids are so stressed. To me from my view … schools create failures. How you ask. ?? When a child is unable to retain all this difficult math , coupled with pure pressures, parents high expectations of course we will see kids act out . I know exactly how these kids feel . I was one of them . I’m speaking from Experience. Education is good but it’s really a racket 🤬🤬most of the Bull you learn is never used or you could learn on the job of necessary.

​@@debragillen255 Yes, without a doubt!

That's a classic refrain of people who are intellectually lazy. All forms of human endeavor have value, and for mathematics that is especially true. If you see no value in it, it's merely a reflection of your ignorance.

I am a computer programmer and I don't need complex math. The functions where I need complex math are created by people who love math and would not of needed a teacher to learn it. Let them make the physic engines. I call their functions to use in my programs I use their physic engines in my software, that's ok, they love it, but they can't do what I do... The very thing that makes me creative I never had to be taught it. We are all different tools. Learning basic math is all anyone needs to do and like I said if they have the passion to learn it, they just would anyway. Just like all the forefathers of math, it never existed until they came up with it, they were just into something.@@debragillen255

“The Power of Now” is a great book.

Or end up homeless unfortunately

They rather brainwash kids to be nonbinary and pro terror. Teachers are mostly very mentally ill people nowadays 😢

Rite!!

i think you did not get it, there should not be any high schools as they do not educate but indoctrinate the children. Look at the Amish as an example, they learn to live in the present and they are highly skilled No 12 year old can do what a 12 year old Amish can do

Hahaha never ever 😅

It should be, but the education systems don't generally approve of students or teachers for that matter, who think for themselves.

❤

No Now, no Future.

Blown away.....

Ideally, everyone would live in the present and making plans would be unnecessary (Garden of Eden). But we've created a world where that's impossible, and so you get the paradox Watts mentions. Running to stand still.

I have more or less done that all my 85 years. I always felt at home wherever I was and whatever I did but put seeds into the atmosphere where to go next. Sometimes it was chosen for me by circumstances and I accepted it with no regret Now I have some health problems but trying to figure out what i can learn from it and send healthy thoughts to others.

So are you, all of you. 🥳🥳🥳When you are authentic you shine. Shine in whatever way you choose to serve humanity and you will be loved for it!! What would we all love you for?? 🤗🌟💥💫💃🕺

That didn't stop the Greatest Generation OR the founding fathers who risked literally everything to revolt. We no longer have the guts

I want to go deeper, and ask what do you get from travelling? Are you escaping something? Im just wondering, why people don't get the enjoyment in their home landscapes

@@turdeemi IMHO I'm 'escaping the Matrix' I'm aware that I can never get fully out of the system but I can use it to my benefit. I come back when I need to earn money but as soon as I've saved enough or had enough of being a corporate slave, I quit my job and travel again. I'm single, no kids and never married so that makes my decision easier to just up and leave. We were not put on this planet to just work 9-5, 5/6 days a week, pay taxes for 50 years and then retire and die. Life is for living, so go make the most of it.

What you call freedom is spirit. It's free by default and cannot be tamed, which is what makes civilization a contradictory concept to say the least.

There is no freedom. with respect my friend you are still part of the system, just a different narrative.

How do you afford to travel if you quit your job? Are you walking and camping? But even that requires money. Are you receiving some kind of welfare assistance from the government, leaching off other people’s work? Panhandling? I hope my tone isn’t coming across as completely snarky; I am genuinely curious how you do it.

I'm interested in too many different kinds of food 😅

It's not the growing of the food that troubles you. It's wondering what growing your own food will lead you to.

You need to start improving your soil two years in advance. Organic amendments. ✌️

To grow all your own food that needs to be all you do; THAT becomes your job and it’s an incredibly hard one with lots of loss and disappointment along the way. Read Little House on the Prairie and if that’s the life you’re ready to live then go for it. But, supplementing your food supply with some home grown produce is fun and if you can keep laying hens they can be really fun and rewarding too. Collecting eggs is a great way to start every morning.

Have fun 😊 Plants need space, and some plants grow well together. Microbes as well balance of nutrients are key to bountiful return.

Your comment is worth more than his video. Bravo.

Interesting. More ?

Awesome, big congrats!

​@Sharky14 Yeah, but if you need money and don't work, you automatically live in poverty.

@Sharky14 Some poor people in 3rd world countries live in deserts inside of mud huts.

I haven't had a TV (or should I say "propaganda box"?) for years, thank goodness. AND: a mud hut is a home, too 😉

​​@@Sharky14the most important comment, too many people are focused on the hardship overseas to care about the citizens of their own country and the actual hardship that will one day hit them if they make one bad move and fall behind the momentum of the societal system. Case in point, Biden telling coal miners to learn how to code. The system just told you to get some skills or be left behind. You do not matter to us. Edit: coal miners are a major reason why this society even exists. People who worked in the past paved the future and today's society has turned their back on them as if they destroyed the world, but they never think about the fact they may never have been born if those guys didn't mine that coal, or oil, or fight in those wars. Think about society turning their back on you one day, because you did what was the right thing at the time, 40 plus years ago...

I’m not convinced.
