The awareness manifesto

Let it be known that there is a conscious spirit in all things, and that he who sets his limits upon this consciousness evolving is committing a crime, not so much unto another, but against his own roots and being.

For that, the system is stupid. It limits the growth and intelligence of a world that could be, and replaces it with a sick and meager version of a twisted form of reality. Many a movie has been made about an apocalyptic future, in which mankind lives in miserable twisted circumstances. Nature is absent, dead. All is technology, and this serves the domination of the system. There is nothing but artificial food, artificial drinks, artificial air. All is ruled by the system and science is its servant. Mankind is dead, mankind is doomed. Will our future ever look like this ? Will evolution ever amount to a lifeless and tasteless product of the mind ? Will the heart ever die ?

Some say these times are times of revolution, times of change. Some believe that from the highest realms of the spirit, children are born into this world, that bring with them a special aura. They are born in great numbers, people say, to occupy places in this world from where they can work on a new time. A time of the heart. Perhaps the system will not realize a future dead for all, a future where only through conventional scientific cleverness, man can make it, in the absence of all that is natural and already there to serve him. Must man replace every living thing with a robotic version, must man make everything artificial. Why can the original not just be kept in honor ?

Many people are protesting in the streets these days. They oppose the further decline of the world under the influence of capitalist logic. And they are right. Capitalism is dead, it serves us not, it has become a horse or a ship adrift, without control. The people must resume control. That is what they try. They do so, not in the reason of the system they fight, in the reason of mere profit and personal progression, but in a spirit of communality and sociability. They do so for the common good. For nature, for the social agenda, for the weak, for the poor. They do so for reasons the system claims to care for as well, but of which it is clear that nothing ever gets realized. It is like the system is comfortably asleep and these people seek to wake it up. Can we keep protesting the system, can we ask for change ? Can we waken up the system with our own aliveness, with the banging of a drum, the saluting of a flower ? Does the system have eyes, have ears for this, does the system have a heart ? I believe not. I believe we should expect nothing from the system. I believe we should throw over the system and just make the world anew. For from the system, nothing good will come. The system is the side of death, the system is what is keeping people down.

For sure, the system has eyes, has ears, everywhere, but it listens foremost to its own interests. It hears everything, there is surveillance everywhere. But it is not a gentle awareness, that seeks only the good, reason and balance. It is a dangerous surveillance, that only serves the survival of the state of domination. It wants to know, if people are still afraid. If people show courage, the system responds with brutality. This is the law, for people must be afraid. If people are not afraid, dominion cannot stand. It shows, that the system is afraid, is forever afraid that people would no longer just obey. It is the dream of the system, obedience, obedient people, it serves the system. It is a system of repression and of slavery indeed, and the common people deserve much better. They deserve to be treated with respect, with freedom, with options, with a choice and freedom of will. If the system says walk this way, people should be allowed to walk the other way, if they would choose so. People should be allowed to disobey. But they are not. Therefore, they must be smart enough themselves, to rebel, to throw off the chains and all be dissidents. Then the system will flee in the end.

If all the slaves rise up, the master will hide in fear. For they will lynch him, they hate him, they want him out of the way. And why not hate him ? He stands for nothing but restriction, for nothing but a boundary to their world. Who is to say where your world ends ? Who is to say what is the end of you ? You are free and wild, and there is no limit to what you can achieve. For someone to say, this is all you’ll ever be, is like a threat that asks for it to be questioned, to be challenged. So the system should be challenged, to say the least. Is it true that we are merely slaves, is it true that we must just obey. Is it true that this is all we’ll ever be ? Who are you to say ? I say you cannot. You cannot say that this is all I’ll ever be. And prove it. Prove that you are more. Prove that you do not obey. Prove you have the courage. Prove you have the heart. For the system is a mere making of slaves, slaves to feed the big machine, corpses from which the machine grows money, and becomes more powerful ever more. We must break the machine, we must sabotage its growth, its growing power. We must make their money no more.

We must care for nature, we must arise to stand up for ourselves. For our souls, for our spirits, for the magic that we are. And trust, and know, that god is on our side. God is never on the side of death, god is life, god is what is giving life, god is a woman giving birth. Endlessly. In joyful laughter, in peaceful ecstasy. To make a way for god in your life, is to make a way for the woman, for the gentle being, it is to make a place for bliss, for ignorance, for not knowing, no longer for the hell of mind, but for the nevermind, for emptiness, for surprise. The system holds little surprises, the system is the same every day. You go to work, you go to work, you go to work. Every day. Never does tomorrow come, never there is change. Nature changes all the time. The weather of today may be all to different from that yesterday. A frog may leap into the pond where it was sitting. A cat can change her course. But man is so part of the system, he is an animal no more. He lives not by his own surprises, he lives for staleness and wonders about destiny. Was the system my predestination ? Is an apocalyps our common destination ? Will nature wipe us from the earth, after all we’ve done to her ?

Nature may surprise us yet. The earth is a being of the universe. She is not a stranger to other planets, and she is loved by the cosmic beating heart. She is heard, she is cared for, she is seen. When we are killing her, it is not true that no one knows this. The whole universe knows. And earth may call upon her siblings to come help her, in the pains and struggles she is in. That is why I believe the times are changing, that is why I believe special people are being born. I do believe in revolution. A revolution of the soul, a revolution from the purity of nature. I believe indeed we’ll be surprised.

But for now, the system. If it is killing all, if it is destroying all, if it is sickening all, is it not enemy number one ? Is it not the greatest worry, that hangs over mankind ? Capitalism, globalization, the system of the rich and powerful. And all of its tentacles, and all of its security. How to overcome it, how to live once free. To some the system is kind. A sort of nepotism. It favors the wealthy, it seeks the sympathy of the powerful. Thus grows the greatness of the power. And becomes evermore difficult to circumvene. But man is many, and in unity and focus, who knows what the end of his truthful powers yet may be.

I pray for revolution, I pray for an uprising of the soul. In all at once, like one great celebration, like one big family. Let all join their brothers, in their quest for freedom, in their thirst for happiness, in their prayers just for healing. Peace !
