Then they help design the system to spread the Elite and the commoners. The rules are already rigged to assist the Elite and enslave the un-elite. The system could be the system of monetary exchange (how we should exchange our work so all could benefit), system of self valuation or worth (How one should look, behave, act, weight, what should they drive), systems of relationships (how, when and who one should marry and what will it look like, what gifts to buy on holidays or how to celebrate perfectly), religion (who should you prey, what will cause the sin...) ETC- you get the point. Even before you are born, your life has been programmed. And from that point on it is an uphill battle to just stand still or you are termed a failure.
I use the metaphor of 'malicious spyware' in your computer stealing valuable data and resources and essentially corrupting the software. Our mind has acquired these spyware since birth provided to us from different harmless sources (of-course they themselves infected and don't realize it). Our parents, teachers almost everyone around us are walking with these infectious 'mental constructs' designed to keep us in captivity and controlled. some people are so infected that they have no spontaneity and no fun. They are so predictable like a machine. We are all infected to certain and I believe our mind is not working to it's true design. have you tried asking it to shut up. The damn thing is missing an off button. Also it runs in a constant loop even when it does not need to. go figure
I am not saying this to spread fear. But forearming us. Awareness is the key. The Stillness and Silence of meditation (even for a moment) cause interruption in these programs. Also when you operate from heart you reduce the power of these programs on you. you become more spontaneous and loving and in the moment...
Exactly! To love is so easy. As we've evolved, nature has taken care of these few first stages for us (achieving basic life, creating a body, and developing a brain capable of thoughts) but those first red, orange, and yellow stages require no directed thought on our part to form, although if we did we might have evolved through those stages faster. Now, we are on the green stage, love. All we have to do is stop listening to the yellow and orange stage thinking... their time is done. Nature will take care of this next stage too, but we can speed it up so much more with directed thought.
What I'm trying to say is that people naturally think from red, orange, and yellow, and all those thoughts have their places and times, and have served us well on our evolutionary path up until now. All we have to do to activate green is stop, for a moment, and the love will flow in naturally.
