Bare with me. The other day I was talking to a pal in Hawaii I haven't talked to in about 1.5 yrs. I asked how things were going, he said working 12 hr days in his new huge red truck going around taking groundwater samples to check for contamination. He spends most of his free time traveling around the world to sight see. He said he was getting tired of his job.

I was thinking in my head, in the world I envision for the future there would be no need for someone to waste time checking for groundwater contamination because humans would never think of doing anything to pollute water/air.... I was thinking, he is so sedated in his soul, just what the money masters want, people to blindly go about their 'career' and believing that that is the way to 'make it in the world'.

OK, here is my revelation: It is such a powerful, simple, concrete technique that I have actually been scared to the point that I stopped doing it because it was so effective. Now, I see that this action I will next describe can free the souls of the sleeping naturally, innately, without any effort on their part. If you are familiar with 'Nonviolent Communication' tm by Marshall Rosenberg, he describes a concept called 'empathy'. Empathy is sensing what is alive in another. Sometimes people are soo sedated by the media, drugs, going after pseudo-needs (like money), 'careers', 'education' in 'college' or 'university', religion, highly processed foods, many prescriptions/vitamins/supplements, looks.. ...they are subtly or obviously like 'zombies', incapable of the possibility of awakening, or opening their minds eye to what might really be going on. We the people, are all spectacularly aware, brilliant, beautiful, shockingly amazing beings, naturally. Many are so 'brainwashed' they, like Ray writes, may have 'amnesia' and have forgotten their brilliance. No one can physically make someone 'awaken' to 'life'. They must do it themselves. But others can provide the environment at any moment for one to awaken, or snap out of it, by themselves. It can be done with the concept of empathy, concretely written of in Marshall's book, most likely found in any library by now.

It brings people back to life before your very eyes. I have seen some stuff immediately occur that scared me so much, I stopped doing it. Kinda like that saying that goes something like: it is not our darkness that freaks us out, it is the light in us. I am hesitant to say much more, I have shown the door.

Oh ya, how does this nonviolently and painlessly boycott the beast? By getting people connected to life,,, not consumerism, career paths, money,.... it naturally snaps people into a place where their life is then in every action BBBBBBOOOOOOOOYYYYYYCCCCCOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTT.

Just some advice, my friend. Be sure to put in black lines between paragraphs (I took the liberty of doing that for you on this post). It makes the post 1000x easier to read. Otherwise is looks like one big run-on paragraph.

I know what you're saying in your post. But for those who need a little more help, can you be a bit more specific on what things to do, not to do, etc? Can you also be more specific when you say you've seen things that scare you come out of it? Thanks Smile

Thanks for the heads up Shaun about easy readability.

Thanks both for the expression that the concept might be a bit difficult to grasp.

The only answer to this mess I foresee is a nonviolent one. Ofcourse, if there is absolutely no chance for dialogue, then by all means use "the Protective Use of Force". The men behind the curtain would love to see the people revolt with violence, as it would make it that much easier to obliterate them. Boycotting starves the beast painlessly; you get what you pay for, it's your dollar and actions you're voting with. If people are connected and aware to the life-serving universal needs in themselves that drive their actions, then every action (strategies for meeting a human need) that anyone does is naturally BOYCOTTING. If people are doing things for pseudo-needs (false needs) (like money, power, )or are unaware of the universal human need at the moment of an action, then their strategies for meeting their needs may not do a very efficient job. For every single action you make, you are motivated by a life serving need. Some strategies meet needs better than others.

Here are some basic needs/values we all have:

AUTonomy
choosing dreams/goals/values
choosing plans for fulfilling one's dreams, goals, values

CELebration
Celebrate the creation of life and dreams fulfilled
Celebrate losses: loved ones, dreams, etc. (mourning)

INTegrity
Authenticity
Creativity
Meaning
Self-worth

INTerdependence
Acceptance
Appreciation
Closeness
Community
Consideration
Contribute to the enrichment of life
Emotional Safety
Empathy
Honesty (the empowering honesty that enables us to learn from our limitations)
Love
Reassurance
Respect
Support
Trust
Understanding

PHYsical Nurturace
Air
Food
Movement, exercise
Protection from life-threatening forms of life:viruses, bacteria, insects,
predatory animals
Rest
Sexual Expression
Shelter
Touch
Warmth

PLAy
Fun
Laughter

SPIritual Communion
Beauty
Harmony
Inspiration
Order
Peace

For example, a man rapes a girl. His needs behind this action may have been sexual expression, understanding for how he was treated when younger, nurturance, touch, empathy ... So, as you can see, these are beautiful needs this human has, but there may have been other strategie(s)/action(s) that could have better met this human's needs much more efficiently then the action of raping another without their consent. Empathy is sensing this aliveness (these alive needs in others) and it helps shine the light on them so that people will naturally meet their beautiful life-serving needs with awareness, as opposed to the people out of habit doing an action that never truly satisfies their desires.

Aa writes: I've seen people in tremendous fear be filled with hope and laughter moments later, people break down crying (on many occasions) with life-serving mourning or tears of joy which usually is accompanied by a very visible self-acceptance/contentness, people totally reluctant to work with someone or express a deep fear then switch to joyfully willingly expressing and working with others, .... Like I wrote before, I saw how shockingly powerful the extremely simple techniques written of in Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg were, that I became scared from using it too much.

I found the quote by Marianne Williamson, here is part, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us."

When people are connected to life, their actions naturally BOYCOTT all things associated with death, domination, and things contrary to freedom. Very, very powerful.

Regarding being specific about what to do/not do, I recommend getting your hands on Marshall's book, most likely found in all libraries by now. I intend to contact the publishers to now put the book free online, as I have found some of the best movies, media, books I have first read free online before I purchased a physical copy.
