Isn't it time as a species to step back and take an honest look at the problems facing us? Take a look at when was the last time our family units, communities were functioning well? About the turn of the last century. Before the “industrial revolution”. The “industrial revolution” seems to have been just a convenient way to re-implement slavery only instead of just black people now everybody gets to play. Even the women too!
Why women should stay home? Because we are evolutionarily fitted for the job. Women can indeed do most everything that men can do, however, that doesn't mean we should. Men and women are different. At a biological level. Neither one is lesser than the other. It is our differences which make us unique. If you want to have a career great. Go and fulfill yourself. IF you have children, you need to be at home with them. The job of mother is too vitally important to hand off to someone else who will never have a biological connection to your children. Who will teach your children what you want them to know about life but you? Stop passing your responsibilities off to others and become an adult.
Why should we have to go anywhere for anything outside of our local community? Sure the local merchant may charge more for the services provided, however, the local merchant has a vested interest in the community and the people who live there – opposed to the multi-billion dollar corporation that only has to worry about what's best for the bottom line and the shareholders.
This is has come to me, is the only way we will be able to take back the power which was given to us by the founding members of our country. We need to stop feeding the beast. Take your money out of major banking institutions. Place it into a local bank. Or deal on a cash only basis. Stop shopping at major chains – be they grocery, department, or what have you. Start clothing yourself, from your own hand. Stop supporting slave labor of children. Grow some of your own food, so that you KNOW for certain what is on/in it. Have one parent at home with your children. Don't let the “experts” trick you into giving away your authority. Throw out your TV, gaming boxes, and what other distractions you have been fooled into thinking you NEED. Cut up your credit cards. What is so vitally important that you put yourself into indentured servitude to have it?
We have to be willing to let go of that which no longer works – not to be afraid to try new things. If our fore bearers had been so afraid as it seems we are to evolve, I wouldn't be writing these words. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again, and to expect a different result.
Change is coming. At a biological level we instinctively know something new is about to click into place. That is why we are perhaps so anxious, stressed and depressed. Instead of taking the needed steps to re-evaluate our progress as a species, we have instead thrust ourselves into high gear with blinders on. As if flapping our arms, wishing, hoping, and praying hard enough will cause this flying machine to take off and soar instead of plummet towards the ground. We point our fingers at anything but what the real problem is(that what we have as a culture isn't working quite right) and throw money at it hoping that money will change the result we are getting.
We can do this – as Terrence McKenna so aptly put it - “Nine times the ice ground down over the earth and our ancestors didn't fuck up. Why should we?”
We have the ability to make it – the real question is, will we choose to? Or will we let ourselves become extinct through sheer complacency and rigidity? What do you choose? Will we go quietly, drugged, submissive, separated from the earth and our biology, malnourished in body, mind, and soul, consumed by this cultured beast which has been manufactured for us at a profit? Will we end gasping for a last, tortured, poisoned breath; dying in despair, still blinded? Cut off from our birthright, wondering where it all went wrong? Still at the last searching for something real and authentic?
Or will we reach down into ourselves, pull out the fruits of our evolution, lift ourselves up out of the quagmire that we have sunk into unwittingly? When will we say no more? When shall we rise up and cry out against the injustices perpetuated by these vile beasts? When will we demand our humanity back?
Shut off your TV. Let go of the addiction. Remove it from your life. It only makes you desire that which is utterly unattainable and nonexistent. Stop consuming for the sheer sake of consuming. Did no one ever tell you that less is more? No one ever dies wishing they had spent more time at the office or had bought more useless possessions.
The loss of influence from parents in regards to their children is occurring at a rate which is appalling, and disturbing. We as parents, have this opportunity to make REAL not unattainable differences in the world. The occasion arises when we learn that we are going to pass on our genetic code.
Who do you want to mold your offspring? Whose “values” would you like imprinted on their young minds? A TV's? A prostitiute posing as “manufactured musical talent”? The marketing industry who makes us never satisfied and content with what we have, but constantly craving more, more, more, at the expense of our species?
Are you ready to let go of the illusion of independence? No one is independent. You never can be. As long as others make your clothes, food, water, shelter. We all depend on someone else for something. Independence is illusion. How can you expect your children to be whole if from the moment they are born you push them away? Pushing via non breastfeeding, genital mutilation(circumcision), “let them cry it out”, separate sleeping places, not wearing your baby, daycare, vaccinations, abnormal/unnatural foods, education apart from you.
We wonder frequently why, (in this culture more and more now) why teenager do not want to talk to or to be anywhere near their parents? What do you suppose the effect of 12 or 13 years of pushing away from you, as the parent is? Forced independence results in alienation. You have to be willing to accept the responsibility that comes with parenthood. Accept that you really are the student. Sacrifices of self are indeed required. As a whole we have, unwittingly perhaps, handed over our responsibility to the “experts” and the system. How could anyone else ever be an “expert” on your child? They did not give birth to that child. It is in fact inconceivable.
In the last 100 years we have seen the disintegration of the family unit. The “women's liberation movement” was akin to the dying gasp of a land beached fish. It was in fact anything but liberation for now who is raising our children? Who is at home gently guiding the future of the human species? Who is nurturing the little ones? Who is?
Women are encouraged to give up their role to the medical industry. We are pushed to be uninformed about our bodies. We are forced to relinquish our choices through ignorance. We are gently nudged to unsatisfaction in every aspect of our selves.
Physicians yank babies out of the mother's body before they are ready. The result? No maternal hormones promoting bonding of mother and child. It so much easier to follow the “expert” advice from the system if you don't care about your children. How long do you think it will be after we lose that last inhibition about cloning before women give up pregnancy and birth ala “Brave New World”?
There is a movement towards not having periods at all - “abnormal to menstruate” says an OB who works for a drug company pushing a birth control product that results in only four periods per year. How can any biological function be abnormal? I will not say it is beautiful to have blood running down your legs, but it is necessary for the continuation of the species. However, now thanks to “modern” science and technology, nature and biological functions are unneeded and can only be improved upon. Billions of years of evolution could possibly be wrong of course!
We need a revolution of evolution. We need a new movement. But not a women's movement or a men's movement. Let's try a human being movement. Novel idea, however, isn't it past time? Let us wait no longer. Evolution waits for no one.
