VICTIMS of a system?????????? No.

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind…Bob Marley

………………………………………….

Babylon.

Oppression.

The Government.

Corporations.

The MAN.

Whatever you call it….

Its all the same.

A SYSTEM.

A system set in place by those who have no care for those “below” them.

A system that is governed by PROFIT .

A system where PROFIT is the ONLY objective.

…………………………………………………………………………………..

The  American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the Press, the radio, the churches, and the schools.  A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature….Octavio Paz

…………………………………………………………………………………

For years Jason and I have felt the HEAVINESS of a system designed to keep people like us “out”.

By “out” I mean….

making it hard for someone “like us” to get a loan, buy a house, a car, or even get a job.

A system SET UP to keep those who WON’T conform…OUT.

A system set up to keep the PRESSURE on.

Pressure to live like “everyone else”

Pressure to do what “everyone else” does

Pressure to think like “everyone else”

Pressure to keep up with “the Joneses”

THAT is alot of pressure that is FED to us throughout our LIVES –with little knowledge that it is evening happening.

We just grow up EXPECTED to CONFORM.

Expected to just fall in line……left, right, left, right.

But..

Conformity is a CHOICE.

I am aware that we have made a CHOICE…knowing that this CHOICE would keep us on the outside of the SYSTEM.

We still made the choice. 

I LOVE the choice we made.

But it is still a DIFFICULT LIFE sometimes.

Always going AGAINST the GRAIN.

Always feeling like there is a STRAIN, because the choice we have made doesn't necessarily mean there has been ALOT of money, or material things.

Our happiness has had to come from LOVE, LAUGHTER, and FAMILY.

Lately ….

I have been noticing something interesting.

I have noticed that NOW…because of the economy and recession…others have noticed this SYSTEM.

People who have never felt it before.

They are feeling  the heaviness of OPPRESSION in the  USA.

The HARDNESS of a system that will…

kick a family out of their home(because they couldn’t PAY),

take a family’s car(because they were a little behind)

force a family to ASK for welfare(when they never thought that was even a POSSIBILITY.)

AND

Keep a MAN from getting a job to take care of his family.

They are feeling the “system”….and its HEAVY.

Its heavy until…..

you realize that you can OPEN YOUR EYES and live on the OUTSIDE.

you CAN LIVE  in a world based on FAITH in GOD….not in material things.

REMEMBER:

19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also"

                                                                                        Matt 6:19-21
