Hello there!
I want to share my thoughts on the "western" system of the world that many of us exist in.
Many of us start in the system, going to school, many times being lectured by everyone around completely not conscious about what they are saying is based on artificial mindset and way of life, that is bound to only work with the machine of civilization. And it's not anyone fault. Fault is maybe in our genes, that tend to lock us in comfort zones, just to keep us alive, than to look for new possibilities and widen our consciousness. That's why many of us are offered with full time jobs that will in general enslave us into doing same things over and over again, for some credits that will help us ease the pain of losing the only two valuable resources in this universe for us - time and life energy.
From my experience I feel that fighting, having a primitive rebel against all of it only gives the energy to the cause that you are fighting with. It's too big of a machine. It will devour us freedom-addicted people.
What we need is a language of love. Of happiness. Even if someone wants to enslave us, we try to give them the most positive energy we are able to. Love is inspiring. Not trying to persuade. People will hear what they want to hear. Forcing the way for someone is a nature of evil. Living and let live is a simply just nature.
The more you love yourself, the more you love the universe in fact. If you won't love yourself, you will look for love everywhere else on planet but you will never be satisfied.
Hate will end up in creating another cycle of hate, unless all of the people are dead.
What we need to do is to acknowledge that all of the happiness is already inside of us. We don't need any supply of the external materialistic world, besides essentials like food, warmth etc. That's a another big topic.
We can focus on minimalism. On ways of creating happiness by our creativity, any way of expression, doing essential life chores, taking care of someone, doing sport, having a beautiful relationships. Attending the festivals. Living with nature. Caring about the nature. Having a conscious relationship with our environment. Etc.
The need for consumption will drop significantly. Thus, the need for money.
We can guide ourselves with love and no law written by "dead people" in the law bible, where papers communicate with each other.
We can try to find people that are alike to us. Try to make solid connections. I think that our world needs to be consisted of many small societies, where everyone knows each other.
Something like tribes. In today world we have a lot less everyday life contact with our neighbors. In the past there was no capitalism - we had to depend on each other.
Someone in the village was being a flusher, a smith, a shoe maker etc. There was a barter. Someone's friend was building a house, you were helping him. Then he would help you in the future building yours. It's kind of social energy, happiness that is very present in our genes. The ability to feel like a family among the "strangers". Having not the same goals like other people, but having the same destiny. The goal would be to have a good relationship with the land and with all the inhabitants. To live freely, to experience.
When we start creating local communities it's important to try to organise meetings where someone can share their knowledge, craftmanship to the others. Like lecturing on herbs, foraging, survival, farming etc.
Permaculture is a topic that you maybe would like to dive into if you like what I wrote.
I've been attending a couple of meeting with local pagans from Poland. In the past times, we had our own religion which was focused mainly on having a relationship with the land that you are living on and with everyone around. We meet regularly to put all of our common intention and praise the life, exchange the energy, speak some promises, being thankful and respectful to everything around. I've never ever felt that specific kind of "social happiness" like during those meetings. It was very primal and soon I realized how much I need it in my life. Thus I realized how we are socially distancing from each other in today civilization.
We should learn how to live with each other and know the importance of every man and woman around you.
We humans are good at developing things and wanting more and more. But we need to know "when" is actually a good enough.
We can make our lives much easier financially for example just by "borrowing" goods from corporation stores. We can try to look for our own water supply, learn how to farm, think about ways of producing renewable energy. If it fits your beliefs, you can think about social benefits that you can get so you can pay your basic bills. Try to understand the law in your country, so you know what laws you can avoid or fit to your benefits and not hurting anyone.
You have to remember that laws are ideals, pure ideas and we are not perfect beings. We can dodge many laws and threats that come with the laws just thanks to the natural mental-laziness of many humans.
I really recommend anyone a book called "Walden, life in the woods" by Henry David Thoreau. Do your own research. The guy is a extreme proof, that anyone of us can live happy with a minimalistic approach while trying to separate from system.
