I so resonate with everything said in this video. I'm going to share this with everyone I know who may give a damn.

We are the solution. When we change, so will our world.

This was beautiful; I found a link for the transcript:

At this moment you could be anywhere, doing anything. Instead you sit alone before a screen. So what’s stopping us from doing what we want? Being where we want to be?

Each day we wake up in the same room and follow the same path, to live the same day as yesterday. Yet at one time each day was a new adventure. Along the way something changed. Before our days were timeless, now our days are scheduled.

Is this what it means to be grown up? To be free? But are we really free?

Food, water, land.

The very elements we need to survive are owned by corporations. There’s no food for us on trees, no freshwater in streams, no land to build a home. If you try and take what the Earth provides you’ll be locked away. So we obey their rules.

We discover the world through a textbook. For years we sit and regurgitate what we’re told. Tested and graded like subjects in a lab. Raised not to make a difference in this world, raised to be no different. Smart enough to do our job but not to question why we do it. So we work and work, left with no time to live the life we work for. Until the day comes when we are too old to do our job. It is here we are left to die. Our children take our place in the game.

To us our path is unique, but together we are nothing more than fuel. The fuel that powers the elite. The elite who hide behind the logos of corporations. This is their world. And their most valuable resource is not in the ground. It is us.

We build their cities, we run their machines, we fight their wars. After all, money isn’t what drives them. It’s power. Money is simply the tool they use to control us. Worthless pieces of paper we depend on to feed us, move us, entertain us.

They gave us money and in return we gave them the world. Where there were trees that cleaned our air are now factories that poison it. Where there was water to drink, is toxic waste that stinks. Where animals ran free, are factory farms where they are born and slaughtered endlessly for our satisfaction. Over a billion people are starving, despite us having enough food for everybody. Where does it all go? 70% of the grain we grow is fed to fatten the animals you eat for dinner. Why help the starving? You can’t profit off them.

We are like a plague sweeping the earth, tearing apart the very environment that allows us to live. We see everything as something to be sold, as an object to be owned. But what happens when we have polluted the last river? Poisoned the last breath of air? Have no oil for the trucks that bring us our food? When will we realize money can’t be eaten, that it has no value?

We aren’t destroying the planet. We are destroying all life on it. Every year thousands of species go extinct. And time is running out before we’re next. If you live in America there’s a 41% chance you’ll get cancer. Heart disease will kill one out of three Americans. We take prescription drugs to deal with these problems, but medical care is the third leading cause of death behind cancer and heart disease. We’re told everything can be solved by throwing money at scientists so they can discover a pill to make our problems go away. But the drug companies and cancer societies rely on our suffering to make a profit. We think we’re running for a cure, but really we’re running away from the cause. Our body is a product of what we consume and the food we eat is designed purely for profit. We fill ourselves with toxic chemicals. The bodies of animals infested with drugs and diseases. But we don’t see this. The small group of corporations that own the media don’t want us to. Surrounding us with a fantasy we’re told is reality.

It’s funny to think humans once thought the earth was the center of the universe. But then again, now we see ourselves as the center of the planet. We point to our technology and say we’re the smartest. But do computers, cars, and factories really illustrate how intelligent we are? Or do they show how lazy we’ve become. We put this “civilized” mask on. But when you strip that away what are we?

How quickly we forget only within past hundred years did we allow women to vote; allow blacks to live as equals. We act as if we are all-knowing beings, yet there is much we fail to see. We walk down the street ignoring all the little things. The eyes who stare. The stories they share. Seeing everything as a background to ‘me’.

Perhaps we fear we’re not alone. That we are a part of a much bigger picture. But we fail to make the connection. We’re okay killing pigs, cows, chickens, strangers from foreign lands. But not our neighbours, not our dogs, our cats, those we have come to love and understand. We call other creatures stupid yet we point to them to justify our actions. But does killing simply because we can, because we always have, make it right? Or does it show how little we’ve learned. That we continue to act out of primal aggression rather than thought and compassion.

One day, this sensation we call life will leave us. Our bodies will rot, our valuables recollected. Yesterday’s actions all that remain. Death constantly surrounds us, still it seems so distant from our everyday reality. We live in a world on the verge of collapse. The wars of tomorrow will have no winners. For violence will never be the answer; it will destroy every possible solution.

If we all look at our innermost desire, we will see our dreams are not so different. We share a common goal. Happiness. We tear the world apart looking for joy, without ever looking within ourselves. Many of the happiest people are those who own the least. But are we really so happy with our iPhones, our big houses, our fancy cars?

We’ve become disconnected. Idolizing people we’ve never met. We witness the extraordinary on screens but ordinary everywhere else. We wait for someone to bring change without ever thinking of changing ourselves.

Presidential elections might as well be a coin toss. It’s two sides of the same coin. We choose which face we want and the illusion of choice, of change is created. But the world remains the same. We fail to realize the politicians don’t serve us; they serve those who fund them into power.

We need leaders, not politicians. But in this world of followers, we have forgotten to lead ourselves. Stop waiting for change, and be the change you want to see. We didn’t get to this point by sitting on our asses. The human race survived not because we are fastest or the strongest, but because we worked together.

We have mastered the act of killing. Now let’s master the joy of living.

This isn’t about saving the planet. The planet will be here whether we are or not. Earth has been around for billions of years, each of us will be lucky to last eighty. We are a flash in time, but our impact is forever.

I often wished I lived in an age before computers, when we didn’t have screens to distract us.

But I realize there's one reason why this is the only time I want to be alive. Because here today, we have an opportunity we never had before. The internet gives us the power to share a message and unite millions around the world. While we still can we must use our screens to bring us together, rather than farther apart.

For better or worse, our generation will determine the future of life on this planet. We can either continue to serve this system of destruction until no memory of our existence remains. Or we can wake up. Realize we aren’t evolving upwards, but rather falling down...we just have screens in our faces so we don’t see where we’re heading.

This present moment is what every step, every breath and every death has led to. We are the faces of all who came before us. And now it is our turn. You can choose to carve your own path or follow the road countless others have already taken.

Life is not a movie. The script isn’t already written. We are the writers.

This is Your Story, Their Story, Our Story.

Great words ,,,and from such a young guy,,

I got 2 responses and they were from my brothers. One pro and one con. Guess which one is head of loss prevention for Walmart Pharmacy Distribution Centers?

William Skip Greer I'm gonna share this.

James Greer While I do not disagree with the premise that we all need to do a better job of getting along, I am not sure what this video actually wants us to do. This video uses the same tactics as the corporations and leaders it castigates. It uses distortions of the truth to frighten everyone into doing what it wants. It exaggerates extinction to frighten us in to doing what? it talks about the evil drug companies without recognizing the fact that the average life expectancy has increased 20 years worldwide and 35 years in Asia alone since 1960. It talks about the disconnect amoung people due to technology (which I agree with) and then says "lets use that technology to get along? I guess I am not smart enough to understand these vague ideas.
Gary Greer What drug do you take that increases your life span 20 years? Not everyone considers 20 years extended life, as something to celebrate. To what "distortions of the truth" are you referring? Perhaps the actual fact and rate of extinction is what frightens. Perhaps noting, contemplating and using thoughtful reflection is just good, responsible and intelligent procedure, especially.on such things as elevated levels of disappearing species of life forms and also concerning unintended or unforeseen consequences of all activities that draw from or, exhaust to, the earth and all it's life supporting resources, Up until recently it has been mostly necessity and accident, or maybe incident(s), that has modelled intentions for technological advances. Perhaps, since intentions determine the direction and development of technology, then perhaps technology can be redirected with intentions other than maiming, killing or destroying, as well as intentions of producing for profit. There are things like coherence, continuity, integration, cooperation, awareness and advancement through constructive consideration. We have no consensual plan for technology other than what's done through the military and/or government spying and/or profit driven enterprise. Technology basically used only to force and to gain profit for accumulating and exerting more force is all the "not smart enough" there is. We ARE smart enough now and we have the technology to curve our destructive tendencies towards a more intelligent approach.

I don't mean to bash James Greer's comment about life expectancy when I say I wonder where he got his statistic. It's fairly well-known that the US is trailing other developed countries in this regard, despite the high cost of healthcare and availability of pharmaceuticals. On this chart, America ranks #42. What does that tell you?

I guess that part didn't strike me as the point of the video. I can see why your brother used that in his response, as he is involved in the medical industry, and they are used by those guys regularly. But I wouldn't attribute the increase in life expectancy to health care anyways, but more to the infrastructure in heavily populated areas,(sewage,access to electricity,etc.), and the cleaner environment and food quality in more remote areas, all of which result in a less stressful life. A less stressful life enhances one's "perception" of their environment, which, genetically speaking,(referring to Bruce Lipton's take on it), would extend the life of the biological bag of neurons and cells we are. I believe there are better ways to build the infrastructure, as the methods we have used have come back to haunt us through polluted air and water, but they definitely worked for a while.China is finding that out real fast, as they are so heavily populated, the increase in quality of life came really fast,,but the consequences are coming even faster....

To me, it was just nice to see such a young man speak so eloquently about the times we live in, and the decisions we are facing,,,and, especially about the quick mention of the solution. I am referring to his comment about looking everywhere except inside ourselves for the solutions....l,,,,T

I bet if you had said something about the Stuporbowl you would have gotten a ton of comments back.

Facebook spontaneously features the dumbed down idiocracy we have devolved into. Bread and Circuses still works as it did in the past. We aren't even a challenge for the powers that we willfully yield to. Rats in a maze. How could anyone in power ever have any respect for a populace like that???

And why would they have any qualms about planning to end have of the humans on this planet??? It could actually be reasonably rationalized in the minds of the "deciders"....

Sorry, rant off subject a bit....

Here, here! I've quit Facebook twice already. It's been years since I've been there... Second time I just used it to get in contact with an old school mate. Done with it now!

It's totally just a worthless bunch of drivel. I found the same difficulty of no one wanting to hold any meaningful discussion or ongoing conversation. Totally shallow. Crap like "t.g.I.f." or kids are sick again garbage. It's all anyone could do to just type out a few lines of nonsense...

Rant! Rant! ;)

Great point Noa. Thanks for the stats. I'm gonna throw them in to the mix.

You know Todd, I thought the same thing as I was reading his comment. That's why I asked which drug he took for that. I also find it suspect that he states how he can't disagree and then proceeds to turn it into a debate, and dismisses the whole idea because no one has layed out a step by step map on what to do.

Wendy, Chris and StarMonk, I get what you say about Facebook and it's true about the frivolousness. I, however, see advantageous aspects amid the lunacy. It's a good platform for what I call, morphing. You have to wade through a lot of nonsense and contrast, but that's the nature of morphing greater awareness into immense perceptual deficiency. An attempt to awaken and raise consciousness levels of people still stuck in an obsolete universe with a restricted and irrelevant view of reality.

I've wondered about that, myself. "Free radicals" floating through the mix for all those NOT using them. I sort of hold that opinion about where we've moved to, too. Montrose is a lot more... well, simple, we'll say. As opposed to Longmont in the front range near Boulder and Denver where people do TOO MUCH thinking... Ft. Collins is a little less so, being a state school.

But, I digress. I think there is a way to make use of that inherent energy that others are not using, and if done properly and positively, it can "up the ante" or whatever for the general populace.

We'll try it with Montrose, as an experiment of sorts. And also to hopefully improve our living and that of those around us.

Cheers!

Great point GG, planting seeds in fallow ground (or is that shallow ground, LOL)....

Good examples of the world in general,,,You have to wade through the sea of irrelevant stuff to find what grabs you,what you need to ingest, digest and move on.....we all plant seeds,,,and the rare ones stand out,, so gradually, I think they draw attention, and hopefully, become a more common species,,ha!

QQ and Wechat are the chinese facebook,,,and in a big move, they linked with google last year,,,and facebook too I think. It seems that must have really pissed off the PRC Gov, as they are going extra hard in their quest to shut google out now. I have to use my vpn just to update my gmail now. They also shut down my vpn 2weeks ago,but they got everything back up in a couple of days. I can use the qq and wechat for voice and video calls anywhere in the world now(free on wifi), and don't have to get involved with the "facebook"side of it. It works better than skype when I call america. But,it's a scary thought thinking that google, facebook,qq and wechat could all merge one day. I don't know how bad the spying is,,,I started a group site for some advanced students I had here,and put some pretty questionable stuff on it,,and haven't been black bagged yet! I am going to the states in a couple of days,and am leaving this video on the site for them........L,,,,T

Can't remember the last time I participated in this kind of clearity and understanding among this many people in the same conversation. Good stuff Goob. Aw-ite din.

That's a lot of stuff to contend with Todd. I guess it's taught you about resourcing means and methods in a pinch. That can't be all bad. Still, what a hassel. Makes me wonder about when/if the grid shuts down, how different things will be.

I guess that depends where we all are when that happens. You know what I mean

I'm thinkin ... "the hour is getting late ... hey" but who knows. Some times it seems like the machine has to break down cause it's hogging all the power, but I really don't gel with that cause the machines "power" is not from the abundance of the universe and there isn't an "all the power" to be hoggin ... ed ... , so an alternative system could, or maybe as well, should, implement alongside the machine and over a period of time, render the machine obsolete. Yeah I dunno Monk, have to think that over.

I guess if it happens maybe I'll go talk to the Hopi.

Geographically speaking, as far as the U.S. goes anyway, I feel safest in the southwest. The mountains and desert are OLD, but not teeming with people. And it doesn't feel like "going back in time" when I visit or travel back east.

I meant more mentally/emotionally and spiritually. If those are balanced/in the right place, then I'm pretty sure it doesn't really matter where you are physically.

And the machine is a big joke. The only power "it" is hogging is caveman power. Even if it seems developed or futuristic. Compared to the power/potential WE have inherent in our biology, although maybe latent at the moment. And collectively, it's even greater. Hence the divide and conquer strategy. Disempowering.

And as far as the hour goes, time great and small, natural or mechanical, is just what it is. Only relevant if we make it so. It's true that seasonally or astrologically, some moments are more auspicious for this or that, but it's still all relative compared to INTENTION.

Things to contemplate and consider...

Thanks, G for being THERE

Maybe it's too late but maybe this would make a nice FB post for anyone whos on it.

http://digwithin.net/2015/02/01/why-would-seahawks-coach-pete-carroll-question-911/

I wouldn't be too hard on people for being so dumbed-down. There are an awful lot of cards stacked against us -- toxins in food, air, and water, chemtrails, and probably the greatest saboteur of intelligence and life force so far... EMFs from cellphone towers and wireless devices.

The elites may hate us, but in many ways, they created us. Just think how brilliant we'd be if they just left us the f*** alone.

Yeah, you're right Noah. It's a good thing we're able to be as powerful as we don't know we are, or we wouldn't stand a chance. Although, if we weren't already surrounded by that power, we wouldn't be able to fall in it on accident.

My Sweetsie and I (we both call each other by that corny term for fun) have been having fun conversations lately about this. In the movie The Devil's Advocate Al Pacino's Devil character says at one point that he doesn't make people do anything, he just provides the opportunity.

I can't help but think that this may be exactly what the alleged "capstone" PTB are doing, providing the opportunity and refining the process as per what they see the collective us moving towards or away from. In my opinion the collective we of common humanity are never slaves as much as we are willing participants or even slaves to our base desires.

And being in denial about this (like I imagine so many are after I saw so little reaction to the so blatantly obvious nature of the 9-11 false flag event) doesn't make it any easier for self-discovery concerning this matter of our true inherent power as the beings I imagine we truly are.

Example: a group of people go to a protest concerning their favorite pet issue and afterwards they go to McDonald's to celebrate and pay for the meal with a Visa card. Completely engaged willing participants of the much larger issue, the fascist state corporatocracy, but feeling like they have really gotten something done at their protest.

This is a simplistic example, but spotlights the problem in general. The PTB could not successfully get all of us fighting against each other over individual pet issues unless the "collective we" were already predisposed and willing to entertain that kind of behavior in the first place. We are at the very least as much the problem as the alleged "they" or "them" we point our fingers at, if not more.

We cannot beat this until we disengage from the behavior that makes "their" agenda so damn easy to execute. We are little more than an energy resource to them at this point. It's a shame we make it that easy, by being so easily entertained by and attracted to their endless parade of conveniences and petty distractions....
