I Am Free

“When they lose their sense of awe,
people turn to religion.
When they no longer trust themselves they begin to depend upon authority.” – Tao Te Ching
If you understand the above quote, there’s no need to read anything I wrote after it…
~
We are taught and brainwashed since the beginning of time, that we can not criticize religion or we all go to hell.
All books and laws are man-made, so they can sit on their golden thrones and palaces, hiding behind man-made golden symbols, idols, statues with diamonds and man written books. They gave us obsessions with “wealth”, “power” and “fame” (all illusions). They have us worshiping idols – statues, actors, sport figures, singers, kings, popes, presidents, systems etc.. They thrown us worthless (“global banking system” and “federal reserve”) pieces of paper, while stealing all our gold.
They created differences, in order to divide us. They told you that “faith”, “church”, “symbols”, “labels” and only “their law and word” can not be questioned. Your critique and not believing, will be punishable and is considered unholy.
They all made mockery of what god creator, energy (or whatever name you want to give it) really stands for.
You know what I see in those pictures? I see Emperors in disguise.
These Emperors and ALL other “holy men” hiding behind religious cult made with their own hands, smothered in gold in their ENORMOUS palaces, who sit on thrones, are the biggest scam artists on the planet.
If they were actually wearing modest sandals, a modest robe, no jewelery and lived in a small shack in a desert, while preaching goodness and vow of poverty, didn’t molest kids, helping sick and poor, trying to heal the world with their actions, instead of words, I’d join them. I’d actually consider kissing their hands and feet, for such love towards all living souls. These are your Emperors, right there, on their golden thrones! Don’t worry, you’re not alone, even “presidents” do it, with a sense of immense honor… you’re in good company.
“People are “followers”. A fairly good example is “Mob Justice”. If a thief is caught in public red-handed, the “mob” instantly want to punish the thief. When one person beats the thief, the rest “follow”. It’s like monkey see, monkey do kind of thing.
Decades of black deeds with violent measures of control brought upon the simple minded people, by means of fear, torture and submission with a word called “heresy” coined by the catholic church, led to the cleansing of the so called “witches” that questioned religion with logic and expected rational explanation. A fact is that people back then were “free thinkers”. During that period a wave of genocides in the name of god took place under the guidance from catholic church that was of tsunamic proportions. People of all ages irrespective of their physical state were burned alive at the stake for being free thinkers!
After a considerable amount of fear was brought upon the people, the “Acceptance of Christ” took shape and the people started “following” the Christian religion. But now Christianity is “polished” like a old shoe is polished to hide the creases and no one wants to speak about it and even if someone speaks about the ugly acts performed by the church in the name of god, the answer is ” Oh, but we humans were uncivilized back then!”
Those in power can control the media and show a false path, a fake identity, but they cannot control our inner learning self.~ G. T.
Pope (“Papa” in Russian) means “father”, didn’t “God” say “call no man “father” ? Just my 2 c on the whole subject of papacy and other “holy” actors around the world.

I got some emails and messages saying that they felt I was attacking Catholic Church. I’m sorry, allow me to elaborate on this a bit more. As I said earlier ALL organized religions stink so bad. (even so-called “atheists”)
If You believe in a dude by the name of Jesus, then you should know better – He was the one who preached against organized religion, he preached against all those priests, in their palaces smothered in wealth, while their 99% of people are in poverty or near it.
Mother Russia Santa Clause with his 30k watches, 4 million dollar yacht, private jet, palaces all over country and very expensive private cars with security escort, while most of his country is in poverty.
Here’s Tibet’s very own Santa, his palace and poor people who live around it.
They live in every “religion” and they are all just a bunch of thieves and hypocrites.
–
To divide and conquer, with fear, guilt and hate is terrorism. ALL religions do this. As a matter of fact, all “ism” ending ideologies are mass control tools, with a few minor differences, here and there, yielding the exact same result – chaos, hate and fear – that’s their true trinity. Think about those things and who really benefits from them. You and I, don’t benefit from them.
They came outright and told you, that history repeats itself. But they knew, that most, will be asleep. We are obedient, part man, part robot slaves. (soon to be only robots) Millions of mindless slaves, snap pictures of their butts in a gym/beach outfits and every french fry they eat, in order to post on their vanity fueled websites. Keep shopping (diamonds, big brands etc, are all worthless.It’s all one big marketing scam that you swallowed up)
Keep eating more food than you actually need, keep snapping pictures of your adorable shoes, bags, cars, houses, labels, animals, kids, lips and tits, 100 times per day and not being able to construct a sentence, without a parasitic “like” between every spoken word. Keep looking down on your iphone screens, when crossing a street or sitting at a bar and never making eye contact or conversation, with any REAL living, breathing soul.
Generation of “smart” phones and dumb people – “Like, oh, wait, let me, like, take a selfie, like now…oh, look, 10 people liked it already!, I’m soooo liking this!”… while your jeans are tied with belts around your knees and your Botox and silicone filled parts of meat, making you into a monster-looking creature. It’s embarrassing to see the state our “entertainment and music industry” is in today. I want no part in it.
They want us just healthy and smart enough to keep slaving for them, for fake and worthless pieces of “money” and just sick and dumb enough to keep filling their pockets.
Wake up.
Your fear and hatred are their power. Stop making them powerful with your own actions, thoughts and emotions. If we wake up from their hypnosis and no longer feel hate or fear of/for anything and anyone, they lose. They will lose big time. They’re only kings, because we made them kings. Think for yourself, be different, be interesting, spend money exploring the world and making soul connections, instead of buying yet another gadget or any other material thing.
Take responsibility for your actions, emotions and thoughts. Take back your mind. Live with your soul and eyes wide open. Love yourself. Love others. Forgive yourself and everyone. Forgiveness, love and laughter are the best cure. Speak your truth. Future and Past doesn’t exist. You have only now. Be happy now. Happiness is a choice. “Owning” anything is an illusion. They sell people the illusion, that we have a choice of who becomes our “president(s)”. We don’t. It’s all a trick, guys. They are all just magicians and actors.. (crappy ones, at that) .. now you see it, now you don’t. It’s all a manipulation of our minds and emotions. That’s all it is, really.
“It’s a small club, and you’re not in it” – George Carlin
There is no law that says you must pay taxes, but if you don’t, you go to jail. Freedom? Are you kidding me?
You “paid off” your car and house? It’s “yours”? You have to pay taxes for the rest of your life or they will take it from you. They want you to have the “illusion” that you own something. You don’t. You rent your whole life from them – When you purchased your home, it lists you as the tenant, not the owner. Just like the rest of the world, people own nothing.
The only thing that you do own is your mind and your soul. You can kiss that goodbye too, if you and your kids keep watching TV, keep buying beauty mags, following celebrity gossip, while your eyes are glued to your iphone. They made “paying taxes” as something “unquestionable and inescapable” like death. (“death & taxes”) That phrase is so deep within your subconsciousness (films, tv shows and news), that you don’t even realize, that what they are really doing is called theft. Everything is privately owned, from “federal reserve” to “federal prison”.
Seriously, just take a few minutes out of your life and listen to what this ex-IRS agent has to say.
(How come butt shaking videos have millions upon millions of hits on youtube and videos like this not even 50k? What happened to your minds people? Why are you so afraid?)
“Where is evidence that your laws apply?”
Don’t show me the money! Show me the law!
Voluntary Servitude = Slavery
Proud to be in the ‘army’ ? You are just another number to them, they don’t care about you or your family. Many, who’ve been to war, agree with me. If you don’t know how to solve a problem without a weapon, you’re very weak. Sorry to break it to you, but you are. Can you imagine what our world would look like if every single soldier (Soul Dier) on the planet refused to go and kill? But guess what? Not many refuse.
They were taught that “killing” and “being in the army” equals to being a hero. (plus they show you all the scary ‘terrorists’, that they create themselves by the way, in one way or another) They make it so hard to earn a living in their own country, that many men and women across the world, think that they have no other choice, but join and get paid money, plus become a hero in the process. Great offer, right? I’d rather starve, then pick up a gun and kill another soul. Even at gun point. They’ll have to shoot me first. I’m not afraid of death.
War should never be an option.
Any leader that supports/justifies wars is a scared little doll-pet, who gets thrown a bone, for good behavior.
“If a country is governed wisely…There may be an arsenal of weapons,
but nobody ever uses them.” – Tao Te Ching
You think ‘1984’ was just some book? Surrounded 24/7 by surveillance, police brutality, encouragement to snitch on your neighbor or anyone else for money, media brainwashing and your very own “double speak” & “2 minutes of hate”, brought to you, by your loving daily dosage of “news”.

“The truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself.” ~ St Augustine

Where do you go to get a job? “Human Resources” … To them, You are a Human Resource, nothing more. A Human Resource, who feeds them and slaves for them. A perfect slave is one, who doesn’t know he is a slave. The moment when slave looses fear, the chains break.

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” ~ Richard Buckminster Fuller
~
If you step away from your own ego and shadow, forget everything you were conditioned to believe, you will see the truth. You will hear your voice, instead of theirs. Change your mindset. Look at the world from a different perspective. Look at it from YOUR perspective, not theirs. Step outside of the box, they created for you. They are masters of capturing all living forms in boxes and cubes – easier to control them. Break their cube with your mind. Throw away your TV. Stop buying into “their truth”. Seek your own. Don’t be afraid to be alone in silence. Silence is good – a place where your soul has a chance at speaking to you. They will do everything in their power, to take that silence away and fill it with their noises.
Don’t be afraid to sit with another person in silence and look into each others eyes. Stop Talking! Listen. Listen to your Soul. They made you forget who you really are. Throw away your TV (i don’t have one for over 8 years) and cancel all “beauty” magazines subscriptions (that are NOT about beauty, they are about telling you how too fat or too thin and uncool you are, it’s all about cold profits). Remember who you really are inside!
YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT!
(please read that again)
You are limitless and fearless! They want you to feel self conscious, afraid, small and helpless.. always! You are not! Teach your kids, that material wealth, fame, materialistic things, will never bring them happiness. Teach them, that other people are not responsible for their own happiness and well being. Teach your kids the power of enough, not more. Teach your kids the difference between want and need. Teach your kids curiosity about life.
Throw away computer games, tv’s and gadgets. Give them a map. Travel with them. Teach them compassion, love and forgiveness. Get out into nature with them. Tell them, that their diploma (which they will slave for) is NOT a promise of success and happiness! Teach them what mortgage stands for ~ “death offer”. ‘Mort’ means death in French, ‘Gage’ means offer or “Death Pledge” in Latin. Debt slavery, human death pledges, debt till death.) Teach them, that their credit cards, life insurances, cars and two and a half kids, will not bring them happiness. Teach them, to ask themselves what they truly want.
Ask every soul you meet “What is your passion?”, instead of a robotic “What do you do for living?”.
Stop saying “I’m fine”, if you’re not. Look at each others eyes … smile. What you see in my eyes, can not be bought. Even if all the wealth, power and fame of the world was thrown at me, in exchange for what’s in my eyes. Stop lying to the most important person – yourself. How you make others feel is the only true wealth. Everything else is an illusion and one really flawed magic trick. Learn the power of less stuff and more memories. “Security” is an illusion. They make big bucks on selling it to you… every single day. Do you feel more “secure” with all the cameras watching you 24/7?
“Planning for future” is an illusion. They make big bucks on selling it to you… every single day. “American Dream” or any dream for that matter, is also an illusion, a business, just like Santa, Hollywood and Organized Re-ligion – all of them have one thing in common – They steal your hard-earned money, with fake symbols and myths. It’s all, one big, mind control machine. That’s all it is. No bank and no government can come and take anything away from me… know why? Because all my life I was investing only in things they can’t steal. Time is not money! Time is free. Spread your wings!
Fly!
They put us in a cube (apartments, cubicles, cars, tv’s, computers, iphones etc) and conditioned us to not step away from it, because outside is a very cruel and scary world, with some boogeyman, who wants to kill us all…. all the time! The name of boogeyman constantly changes of course, but the result is always the same – you stay afraid in your cube. Every self-respecting secret service agent, will tell you, (well, only if he’s high) that those, are mass-controlling conditioning techniques, that are used globally. Just like a rat won’t get off the wheel, if you shock her enough, when she stops turning the wheel. But here’s the thing… they know, that the rat will be so scared of the shock, that there’s no more need for shock “therapy”.. she’ll be turning the wheel non-stop, until death. Hey, no biggie, right? It’s a rat… let’s get another one, shall we?
Not governed by any entity, religion, symbol or man. I will not bow to any man-made myth. I am a permanent nomad, (traveling/living/creating around the world) artist, creative soul (poetry) and a minimalist. I represent no particular country and no particular ideology.
I don’t vote. (Silence is louder than a scream…)
IF VOTING CHANGED ANYTHING, THEY’D MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO VOTE.
I have no permanent home, no flag and no agenda. Will always dance to my own beat. I stand alone. I believe in free thought, creative mind and open soul.
“Religion And Its Origins” (different perspective on all religions) Here are some thoughts of a priest – religion is about control
Had to add some George Carlin : )
I want everyone to challenge and question everything and everyone … myself included.
“I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts,
you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.” – Tao Te Ching

Hi Elena,
Your site, from the little I’ve read so far, is an incredible insight into a so very obviously beautiful mind you made me believe again that dreams and wishes can and do come true and reminded me, as I often times forget, that life and the loving of it is about appreciating for enjoyment every precious second and having the strength of individual character to keep it all, negativity and bad free! That is such an amazing human strength to own because it means that you’re AWARE, it means that you DARE, it means you believe in what you naturally ‘Feel’ and that ‘thought’ is but your literal PRAYER. You’re a wide open book and that tells of a Soul that is living without a CARE. You’re an amazing living example of the little recognised, ‘Living Art of human expression’ in action I SWEAR! I’m learning the very Art of that right now my self and although I’m a very long way behind where you are now, I will catch up at some point, I’m a determined soul when I know the truth.
Your website just makes me realise how ‘un-alive’ that I was for most of my adult life and that, irrespective of this anyway, I took from your words that it’s better to realise NOW than to never at all that we only get one chance to live a life truly worth living. You’re a wonderful example of how to live your life on YOUR terms and I’m eternally indebted to you for sharing your Self so openly so as to, shine your brilliant brightness in my direction. I knew my self that I was on the right spiritual path before I saw your light, but there is nothing else like the feeling of ‘meeting’ someone else on, perhaps a different path of course, but definitely parallel and progressing in the positively same right and good direction as my self. I’m learning from my own individual experience of it now and I found it incredible that this simple concept has had such dramatic and positively significant affect on me and my life. It really is, Simplicity, Its Self! Take responsibility for your self and YOU have control then. If you feel the intuitive truth you know instantly what’s good or bad, right or wrong, negative or positive and you then act logically and accordingly to keep the Good and deny the bad. It’s easy to do, you simply say NO, I know what is wrong, I know what is bad and I don’t like nor want them to negatively influence my life any more. I want only Positive things to happen in my life now and as, I am, the only one who can make that be, I will take the full and complete responsibility for making sure that that does in fact occur. No bad thing gets in my world unless, ‘I’, Allow it! How stupendously and stupidly simple of a concept is that, and yet, it quite literally changed me from one negatively extreme side of my self to my positively new, other, when I’d understood and learned how to naturally use the concept, that is. Simply beyond incredible, as you already know yourself Elena.
To finish and in regard to the section of your profile that deals with, particularly the ‘religious’ but, many other aspects of this ‘modern’ life and that you feel negatively damages this world of ours and its people, and I hope that you don’t mind the suggestion here Elena but, have you ever read Leo Tolstoy’s, ‘The Kingdom of God is Within You’? It’s one of the most remarkable books that I have ever read in my life and it is an absolute crime against humanity that it is so little known to the world. I understood clearly after reading it however the reasons why and chief amongst them was the way in which Tolstoy, by very simply discussing the true meaning of Jesus Christ’s philosophy of ‘non-resistance to evil’ not only proves the utter falsity of the existence of the orthodox ‘Church’ and religion itself, but also destroys in the process any semblance of integrity or credibility that, ANY of its religious representatives had or have, by their blatantly intellectual corruptions and personally poisoned manipulations of such a spiritually perfect and prophetic principle. Jesus Christ had given to mankind the ‘God’ given blueprint, with instructions to boot, on how to be a ‘Natural’ human being and because it didn’t suit the ‘church’, or the state, or most other ‘superior’ minded people on the planet at the time, they basically started up their own religious ‘organisations’ that ran along the same basic spiritual lines as Jesus’s principle but, was personally altered and adapted to suit the practical realities of the time because, by their ‘superior’ ‘thinking’, Jesus or God, could never have possibly understood what it was ‘really’ like to live in this harsh, kill or be killed, world. It was a profoundly ‘Great’ principle they ALL said it, but it was totally unrealistic for this world and so they made up their own personal version of it to suit. It’s a masterpiece that speaks a level of truth I’d never felt before and I could talk about it forever Elena but, I’m conscious that I’m writing too much as it is and taking up your precious time. Just thought it would be an excellent way to ‘educate’ the critics, especially the religious ones, in your ‘Freedom’ section, by referring them to this book. The only thing that you need to understand it is simple logic and a modicum of ability to recognise the ‘Natural’ truth and you can’t then fail to understand the ‘True Gospel’ of Christianity as Jesus Christ, Himself, proclaimed it.
Just a thought Elena, ignore me if you’d rather. Keep on living by incredible example Elena, it is truly inspiring to many people not least my self. Thank you X

Great Stuff
[…] FREEDOM […]
A great blog!
I have shared Your post, in short, and giving full reference to Yours, at https://lovehappinessandpeace.wordpress.com/2015/06/06/many-are-doing-it-wrong/
You are Very Right, my Dear Elena, on Many counts! But it would be very helpful to shorten it from the 4 thousand word thing. Regards. 🙂
Hello Elena,
You are obviously a smart lady. But based on what I read I’d like to ask you a question. Do you live in a nice house or small appartment? Do you drive a nice new car or old one, which is falling apart and required repair all the time?
If you live a nice life style , I’m SURE you would never want to move to cheap apartment from your nice house and change you nice car to the junk car..
Some people say that they don’t need stuff, simply because they can’t afford it.. For example, I don’t know any woman who would refuse to wear a nice brand name purse… However, whoever can’t afford it keep saying that they just “don’t want it”.
Just based on my experience..
S.
hello ) i live in a tiny studio, i never had a car, i don’t have a tv for 8 years, i rarely shop and ONLY in second hand stores.. (every picture of what i wear is from second hand stores, bought for 2-15 bucks) I don’t go to beauty salons, because I do everything myself. I don’t have diamonds and almost never wear jewelry. When I travel to less economically well off countries, I either bring clothes to donate or buy something in that country and bring it to orphanages. I have lived in 10 countries and traveled to 41 – those are things I always wanted to have instead of ‘luxury’… if you put gucci on a cow, it’s still gonna be a cow. I wear a 20 dollar dress and look like a million bucks. (yes, I’m modest) I only have 1 debit card and will never have mortgage. I am a nomad and CHOOSE to spend money on memories with human beings around the world. This is my experience.
ps – wherever you see on my modeling photos, me wearing a “brand” it’s for work. I can’t stand brands. As I said, before, all my clothes are 2-20 $ range, maybe 30 (rarely). I went to biggest red carpets events in Hollywood, wearing 12 dollar dresses and legends like Julie Andrews wanted to know, “who” I was wearing. I’m more than happy to help you choose clothes and not spend much, but I’ll have to charge you for that, so I can buy yet another ticket to a country I haven’t been to before ))
pps – proceedings from clothes i buy at second hand stores go to charity – cancer patients, arthritis etc and not to some asshole millionaire. I will NEVER wear ‘red sole shoes’ and i don’t buy ‘beauty mags’ … i, unlike politicians and popes, actually live what I preach. In October moving to even cheaper place, so I can travel, more often and much longer.
“I don’t know any woman who would refuse to wear a nice brand name purse ..” – darling, you just met one.
So true … and so inspirational ! Thank you !!
Elena, you have become a Motivational Speaker. Or else, you really SHOULD become one.
naahh.. i’m only searching for my own truth and asking people to do the same, for themselves. ) i’m a student of life )
Me too. I just love it when you fire your Kalashnikov of common sense. AND you look good on a horse. A gift I myself am sadly not blessed with. 🙂
I’ll teach you! )
You’ll have to! It would be such a great scene in the film!
haha!
Nice written and power words for all to read. So true how people get locked into religion to not face up to things or have their own perspective.
Thank you for your honest missive. 🙂
Nicely and emotionally woven facts…God I wish you were in Africa and Nigeria to be precise to see how my people are brainwashed to this religion and intellectual subjugation daily……Elena, I don’t know you but when I arrive were my passion is taking me financially, I will cross oceans just to seat and have a chat with you……..thanks for this post
we will! all my love to you.
always best to ‘be’……
Well said! You hit the nail on squarely on the head.
As always a most intriguing read…love the video of Cuba…was there not too long ago….wonderful people.
I have tried to impart the theme of this blog many, many times in my own blog. I was raised by religious people in a very religious small community. I am an ordained minister and an atheist. Not an agnostic, but an atheist, I am not wondering if their might be a god. Even if there were, he hasn’t shown up for work in thousands of years, lets all kinds of atrocities happen, so I would fire him, her, it, anyway! By the christian description of god, he, because men wrote the bible scriptures, is not of this earth but lives in some off world heaven. So by definition he would be an alien! Now I believe life in the universe probably does exist other than on earth, but gods? No! Is religion and the followers of all the different variations responsible for war, discrimination, atrocities beyond mention, absolutely! Any real reason for any of this, absolutely not. You look at religion in America and you will find the same radical elements you find elsewhere on the planet. It infests our decisions to bomb, wage war, and interfere with our neighbors even more than our greed does, and that is saying something. As we progress down the evolutionary path I hope our intelligence and wisdom also grows so we can give up believing in fairy tales. Until we do world peace will allude us!
Not all religions preach war. What about Baha’i or Buddhism? Some say Buddhism is a lifestyle, not a religion, but The Dalai Lama calls it a religion.
A lot of what you’re speaking of is hegemony. It’s not necessarily mind control because it requires some acceptance from the public.
For example, if companies were pushing a certain type of fashion trend, and the public didn’t like it, the companies would have to recall the product. They can’t FORCE people to buy things. You may argue that there are certain types of advertising techniques, but there are free thinkers like yourself who are immune, therefore it is impossible to truly force anyone.
I agree that there are fundamental flaws with religion. That a lot of doctrine thrives on devotion without questioning, or criticizing other faiths or peoples that do not follow it. But, like you said, scripts are man made, and therefore are filled with man-made laws that helped govern the people at the time.
At the same time, however, aren’t we taught to read and observe everything critically anyway to come to a balanced, objective opinion? We have to do the same with religious texts. Sure, there are people who abuse the power, but spirituality doesn’t have to be a total rejection or total submission to text. People CAN pick and choose what they wish to observe.
Just as there are religious fundamentalists criticizing individuals who pick and choose, so are there anti-religious fundamentalists who criticize individuals who sway from religious fundamentalism. Their general belief is, “If you’re so liberal, why are you religious at all? You’re wrong for subscribing to any of it.” Both are the same person with a different face.
imho
thank you for your truth. ps – ” It’s not necessarily mind control because it requires some acceptance from the public.” “You may argue that there are certain types of advertising techniques, but there are free thinkers like yourself who are immune, therefore it is impossible to truly force anyone.” – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQXe1CokWqQ for other videos of mind control, please take a look at many of his great shows and videos.. love him! He’s not bullshitting us, he’s telling like it is. Derren Brown is a very interesting man )) i’m sure you’ll enjoy him.

Lovely. I love the “what’s your passion” question! Thank you……..
Too true, especially the part about smart phoneas and dumb people… I miss talking to people while waiting for a bus or in a doctor’s office. Our world is getting trully anti-social.
i miss that too… but sometimes i’m lucky when they forgot their phone and we’re having a great conversation in a coffee shop line )
I agree with a fair amount of what you say and the overall sentiment.
There is a lot wrong with all religions. I do think that your photo pictorial is maybe harsh on the current Pope? He is the most humble of Pope’s for many a generation. Did you read about his approach to the office and how he hates the shininess and pomp of it all? He is driving some change although I think it is not recognised as much as it should be.
To have your pictures focused soley on one of the religions is maybe not enough balance? There are many attrocities going on as I type by people who have a very twisted view of religion and what it means to them. They come from a religion without a living ultimate figure head. They kill people of their own religion because they believe that is the correct thing to do. You know who I am talking about – for me the people who purport the glory of violence as part of a misunderstood religious message is the biggest fault of any religion today or in the past.
Heads focused on phones and electronics instead of appreciating the world around us – totally with you there. I’m certainly not into this “selfie” culture – I hope it is just a fad.
As for millionaires. I’ve met a few myself too, although I’m unlikely to ever be one. I can honestly say that some when I’ve looked in the eye have been genuinely nice, decent and happy people. For me it is the character of the person, not the wealth that matters. If people are totally driven by money and what it can do for them then yes I’m likely to meet some people who are not content. If I meet people with a good heart and a true conscious (rich or poor) I will find a good soul.
Thanks for a well constructed and emotionally committed post which was a joy to read and understand.
thank you for your truth. I said “ALL religions” several times. didn’t want to pull out all pictures, that look the same, representing different churches and people. Russian one, has the best money can buy, he’s always in a Mercedes Benz, preaching to a very poor old woman, that she needs to prey more, go to church and give up her earthy possessions to church aka god. Seriously, it’s sad to see how blind and asleep people are. As far as current pope and any other scam artists, you should study he’s history and what group of people he belonged to.. i’ve been in one his “history places” in Paraguay – creepy. When popes and other santa clauses throw away their thrones, sell their palaces, gold statues and symbols etc., then give it to the poor, I will take them seriously, until then, they are the modern day Caesars.
I agree with your thoughts on religion. I read a psalm one time which advised us not to rely on our intelligence! (Can’t remember which one.)
I agree! well said. We only get one life so help yourself and others. Be happy through life’s experiences not through the things stolen from others – gold is just gold. It is stuff that you can’t eat, or wear, and it doesn’t protect you from the elements. Now books, the windows into other people’s perceptions and ideas – they fascinate me as much as this blog!
So well said, thank you. I’m reminded of the line ‘never use money to measure wealth’. If only people could recognize their conscious self, the materiality we’re hopelessly awash in could simply fade away…
Amazing 🙂 I totally agree with you. We should ptomote love and finally wake up in order to see how magnificent the world is.
Loved your post & I absolutely agree to every single word (& meme) here. Religious figures are just another form of capitalism and their massive wealth (did you know that the Vatican is the richest institution on the planet?) is unjustifiable in the presence of this much injustice to the suppressed masses in the world.
It’s not “false politics” that’s causing hunger in Africa, it’s the imperialism of the first world countries, whose corporations continuer to deploy this continent to use them as human subjects to try on them weapons, vaccinations, medications, viruses… etc. While stealing their natural resources. And guess what? The church is one of the biggest investors in those same corporations.
Love,

bravo!
I agree!! Thanks for this post Lena
Thanks for sharing this, Elena. I do agree with the zombie apocalypse. Not sure about the Christian memes, though. I think you’re generalizing some things. I’m a Catholic myself and feel hugely misunderstood. European Christians (mostly poor themselves) are not responsible for funding Africa’s (or any other country’s) false politics. World hunger is a problem, but it can’t be solved by pointing fingers at the church or wealthier countries. Consider how much the Catholic Church actually gives in order to help, you’d be surprised.
Many Greetings to Cuba! ❤
thank you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88GTUXvp-50 ps – since you are a traveler, you should pay more attention to your surroundings – Egyptian Obelisks, Pyramids, Sun symbols, all seeing eyes are not only in Egypt… they are EVERYWHERE, globally. In every major city across the globe. Even in Vatican. Egyptian Obelisk is right in front of popes palace (can’t call it anything else) and the cross has a huge golden sun on it. What they put in your mouth is in a shape of a circle – Sun… “So(U)n of God”… I study history and ancient religions. Washington Monument is not a munument to George Washington – it’s an Egyptian Obelisk… This is a global FACT. Not fiction or myth. I think you would enjoy Cuba. Let there always be a road.
This is a lovely and clever post.
Emotions beautifully expressed.
“I’m a Lord”, …
Land LORD? .. Or The LORD of Queen’s throne? which one are you talking about?

I like my stuff too. So I will just have it all while I have only one word for the commy system lover: execution. You don’t have to give away the stuff to prove anything. Keep the stuff. I have bigger recycling being done.
have fun with your stuff. They stole your gold and gave you stuff! Regardless, thank you for your opinion. i respect your truth. so much love in your comment though… guess it’s all from that stuff of yours.
All means the gold too. That is included in the stuff word. Greed is something to hate, love and test us not avoid. It is in us and we can not ignore it. It is our choice to suffer greed or not in what we collect around us. Greed can cause very due self suffering.
