With the beliefs and perspectives that we consciously or unconsciously choose to entertain, we have the ability to both enslave or liberate ourselves.
I once heard it said that thoughts affect our behavior, but it turns out that's backwards: it's our behavior that affect our thoughts! Sure we can guide ourselves with our minds with our own free will, make ourselves do things, but it's not until behavior become habit that we begin to think in patterns that are compatible with our behavior.
This is how structured societies operate - the form of mind control they use is by training us in certain behaviors (for better or for worse), day in and day out, until our minds are trapped into the confines of that behavior. Learned helplessness. Placing limits on what we believe we can and cannot do. This isn't always bad, it does keep society functioning and has mutual benefits, but it is limiting our minds.
Once a person breaks away from the behavior and form new and better behaviors, the thought life will have no choice (pure coping mechanism) but to conform to the new pattern of behavior. This is how people find joy in their work, joy in their morning routines, joy in their habitual pleasures. It's the mind accepting and enjoying these behaviors and forming a new and better belief.
It is true that changing our patterns of behavior is one path to changing how we think and feel, as in the case of exercise, integral practices, healthful food, and the like, but from my own experience it does also go both ways, with the beliefs that we hold having a truly massive effect on our personal experiences.
You're quite correct about how social engineering/brainwashing/mind control/conditioning/programming has been carried out on the populations of the world, though from my perspective this has not been beneficial to the peoples of the world at all. We were taught to be slaves. Now it's time for us all to come to understand what sovereignty really means.
Yes, we can indeed learn to find satisfaction and enjoyment in what we do, regardless of what it is, and while this is a good thing, I'm more interested in doing those things that truly excite me, bring me alive the most, and that are aligned with passion, purpose, and mission. When life is oriented that way, work is play and play is work. Thank you very much for sharing your perspective on this, Benjamin, I really appreciate it! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
This is going to sound strange, but it's not the slavery that is what bothers me, it's that our slavemasters are wicked and abuse us. Our slavemasters have no regard or respect for us. They think we are stupid. They take advantage of us and train us to accept it and be happy in spite of it. Our wicked slavemasters lie to us, cheat us, wrongfully punishes us, diminishes us, subjugates us. The sad thing is that people who love their abusive slavemasters, will imitate the bed behavior of their bad masters and abuse their fellow-slaves, especially those seeking freedom from this wicked system. They see us as rebellious, but really we are not - we are looking to be free from tyranny, rather than just learning to accept it.
A good slavemaster will give their people the right of self-determination, freedom to associate, freedom of thought. His people will not be rebellious, because his people love their master. He is honest with us, truthful with us, patient with us, deals kindly with us. And we imitate the good behavior of our good master.
The idea of individual sovereignty is attractive, but billions of kings each with their own tiny kingdom will lead to a disastrous end. The nations and societies that thrive are those whose government yields to the higher authority, allowing and providing for good slaves to be free to serve their good master. The system in the US was initially designed to be this way, that a moral and upright people can self-govern. But an immoral and depraved society will inevitably fall and become subjected to wicked tyrants.
While I myself am not OK with slavery of any kind, I do agree that those that created this satanic slave system think that we are stupid, and use and abuse us as it serves there purposes. I'd say it goes a lot darker than that, too, unfortunately. They see us as cattle, basically as a resource. I saw this quite a good while ago, which is exactly why I began, bit by bit, step by step, to disentangle and remove myself from the grasp of its insidious tentacles.
The way that you describe good slave masters, from my perspective, is more akin to those that love and care for their fellow humans, and as such makes them not slave masters at all, but what the idea of leaders is supposed to mean. If I love someone, I want them to be happy, free, and empowered, with full self-determination to live their lives as they see fit, so the opposite of those that desire and seek to enslave.
When I use the word 'sovereignty', I don't use it in exclusion to what is truly good and beneficial for the collective, for in truth they must go hand in hand. If we can't live our lives as our divine life energy calls us to live, then we are slaves, both individually and collectively, and I want no part of such 'society'. I do agree that any governing body should indeed yield to, and align with, the Greater Whole, God, Spirit, but not in a controlling manner, but rather in service to the sacredness of life and existence, and therefor to the people being served. I appreciate this conversation, Benjamin, thank you again. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
I can see that perspective very much, especially in regard to service towards our fellow. We should not be controlling, but loving. This is key to self-governance. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I really appreciate it!
