· 1020 Rhino Poached in 2014, compared to 333 in 2010. Despite Millions thus far spent on charity organizations the number of rhinos poached tripled in 4 years. Not a Happy New Year ahead for them.
· Half the world still lives in poverty.
· Nearly 1 Billion people suffer from “chronic undernourishment “ aka hunger.
· 80% of the world population lives on less than $10 a day.
· An average of 3.5million people experienced homelessness in the U.S., despite the fact that there are enough empty housing for them all.
The tradition of wishing somebody a happy new year has many complications, sure we can want for other to have a good year, or maybe you are glad that you made it through another year, but for me a happy new year will be finding ways make the statistics above less.
How great would it be if humanity was able to completely eradicate poverty? Bring the amount of hungry people down to zero? Or even have the rhino poaching at a big round zero for a whole year? We certainly have the capacity and resources to do so. For example to put every child in the world through education all we need is 1% of the military budget of the U.S. We have the means to do so.
The Living Income Guaranteed will also be a solution for all the problems above. If it’s implemented it will bring the number of people in poverty down to zero. Money will no longer be a factor for whether or not a child gets an education . People will also have enough to actually live and buy the food they need. There will also be no more homeless people, because they would be able to afford a home.
That would make a truly Happy New Year.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I must be the best and a head above the rest
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I should do everything I can to be better than everybody else
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to in this belief walk over others and used them for my own personal gain so that i can become better than them
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that i must compete with others so that I can survive in this world - and to better survive I should be better than everybody else
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to give into this idea of competition and that it is necessary and the only way to survive in this world
I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to realize the consequences of my actions and wanting to be the best and better than others will never bring equality
I forgive myself that I have accepted not and allowed myself to realize that if I believe I should be better than others and everybody else believes they should be better than everybody else - then we create a world where competition rules as every man for himself - which is what we have today
I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to realize that competition breeds self interest where i am only focusing on myself - and in this I ignore the world around me, because in order to be the best I must walk over people
I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to realize that I was taught how to compete and chose it as who I am - and just as I have accepted this within myself I can not stop this within myself and realize that i do not need to compete to survive - that survival should not be a problem within this world
I commit myself to stop the belief that i must be the best in order to survive
I commit myself to no anymore dedicate my life to be a head above the rest as I was taught by the world
I commit myself to realize the consequences of wanting to be better than others - that it is based on self interest and disregarding others - that I will never find solutions to assist and support others because i want to be better than them and in this equality cannot exist
I commit myself to realize that If everybody want to better than everybody we will continue the path of this world and never bring the change that is needed for a world of equality where everybody wins
I commit myself to stop competing with others to be better than them - but to instead find the solutions needed for a quality life for all to exist
I commit myself to stop competing with others to boost my ego
I commit myself to give up the illusion of power that comes with being the best - to stop the survival game - but to instead start living and dedicate my life so that others can also live
Self silence is when nothing moves in you – you are here. No thing that is not self directed moves within you.
Obviously this is a process so what we do is use Breath to be able to see the thoughts feelings and emotions as they come up.
We Humans are not breathing – we are not aware of our breath which is shocking because breathing is that which gives us life.
If you look at dolphins – their breathing is not automatic – they have to physically with awareness take a breath and can choose not to take the next breath and die.
So when you are aware of your breath you are here – when you not aware of your breath your in your head in another world. So when you notice you are not in fact breathing here you know your not here. Then you look at what thoughts came up in that moment that kept you from being here and do forgiveness on it with effective self corrective statements that you can live by.
Same with emotions and feelings – as they come up you deal with it. Anything that moves in you that you didn't direct you must investigate what it is and deal with it immediately. You want to eventually have nothing move in you – silence Here. This is a process of becoming self directed where nothing can move you.
