I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself
to see and realise that capitalism in its present form can only work as long as
we keep on producing, selling and consuming – and within this I forgive myself
that I have accepted and allowed myself to have defined terms such as “growth”,
“prosperity” and “advancement” within the limited framework of how much a
society is producing and selling
I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself
to see and realise that using concepts such as GDP and GNI to measure and
indicate economic prosperity within a society only reflects the success of the
society as a consumer – not as a society of living beings
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to
have created an unsustainable economic system of over consumption of the few at
the expense of the majority where the few rich will prey on the land of the
weak/poor and seize their resources for the personal gain of the few, leaving
even less for those who need it most
I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to
see and realise that within making consumerism/consumption the sole
purpose/reason within one’s life on earth we are in fact misusing and abusing
the earth and it’s natural resources to satisfy a fantasy which cannot be fulfilled
– as there is always more to consume and newer things to buy – in fact
contributing to poverty and hunger as resources are ineffectively and unequally
distributed to those with money only
I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself
to see and realise that our consumption lifestyle is moving land ownership into
the hands of a few – where large corporations take over and swallow smaller
ones resulting in job losses and the migration of people to the cities looking
and hoping for better jobs which results in more slum areas, health problems,
increased crime etc – or where in the case of agricultural takeover, the
landless will move to less arable land which may conflict with wildlife, or
moving into forests causing deforestation and disturb the natural habitat of
wildlife – all as a ripple effect of our consumption behaviour and need to buy
and have more
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to
have created and imposed an economic system within this world which promotes
consumerism at all end – which results in millions of acres of land being
misused and directed towards non-productive luxury goods for the wealthy while millions suffer
and starve in a world of plenty
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to
have created a world economic system where food and basic essentials are
produced conditionally – and that this condition is MONEY – and if you do not
have money you cannot have these essentials – which is in fact a crime to Life
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to
tell the poor to do as I do and step in the footsteps of globalizations if they
want to be “lifted up” into the world of consumerism – where the belief is held
that “it worked for me, so it must work for you” – without seeing and realising
that the reality of consumerism came about through acquiring massive amount of
resources – resources which were not local but which were taken from other
societies and people – those societies and people who are currently poor –
where the rich took it upon themselves to Exploit Thy Neighbour for Thy Gain –
which implies that if the poor should follow the footsteps of the rich, they
should invade the land of the rich and take what it is they need and place the
rich in an inferior position – only reversing
the roles – which is obviously not a real solution as it merely switches the
tables around without in fact changing the problem with a solution that is Bestfor All as Love Thy Neighbour as Thyself
I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself
to consider the outflows and consequences which follow from a lifestyle of
consumption – as consumption is linked in with pollution and if we consume at a
unsustainable level we produce pollution at an unsustainable level -- revealing and showing how the human has
placed more value in money as energy as delightful experiences within the Mind
at the expense of the Physical Body as the Earth suffering the consequences of
our idiocy
I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself
to see and realise that saying to poor people that “they must do as we did” is
within this physical reality with the current available resources impossible –
as currently 86% of the world’s resources are being consumed by the world’s
wealthiest 20% -- implying that if everyone consumes at this level we need
several more planet Earths which are non-existent – proving again the
unsustainability of our current accepted economic system and lifestyle and
showing that it is a system that is doomed to fail as it does not consider all
Life in anyway whatsoever
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to
abuse the position of the poor for the gain of the rich through migrating high
pollution industries to poor countries with lower environmental standards as
they will do anything to have more money circulate into their economy – while the
rich can continue to abuse and waste at unprecedented levels
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to
hide and cover up the harmful conditions within the world through pollution
stemming forth from consumption as any increase in disease and decreasing
health results in higher sales of pharmaceuticals which provide jobs and create
a new form of consumption – creating the idea/belief that a society is doing
better as the GDP of a country is growing while all the while living standards
are declining but these are not taken into consideration as all that counts is
the success and level of consumption within and through which we have defined
our value as life – which is not Life in fact but a made up illusion to keep us
trapped in a zombie state mode in order to not question our reality but keep us
on track in our chase and Pursuit to Happiness which is never-ending as an
illusion can never be achieved and made into something real
I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself
to see and realise that Wars in are in fact waged to protect and maintain our lifestyle
of consumption – as our level of consumption is unsustainable inevitably
leading to the depletion of resources – where societies will fight and kill one
another over resources needed to satisfy our consumption compulsion – where wars
are waged for resources to be exported to the West such as coltan which is a
substance needed for computer chips to function
I commit myself to change our current lifestyle pattern of
consumption to a lifestyle pattern that takes into consideration what is Best for All and the designing of an economic system which is created within the
consideration of REALITY instead of ILLUSION and which is actually sustainable
which can provide a lifestyle which is obtainable and sustainable for ALL on
Earth
I commit myself to expose the consequences and outflows
stemming from the Evil of Consumerism and the impact it has on the majority of
the population here on Earth
I commit myself to expose the mathematical inconsistencies
within propagating and promoting consumerism as THE ULTIMATE LIFESTYLE for ALL –
as this is practically unsustainable, where the promotion and promise of this
lifestyle is what is keeping millions enslaved in the hope that one day they
will ascend into the world of Consumers and Consumerism while this is not
practically possible and is merely wishful thinking – which keeps the masses
from questioning the current economic system and how it does not in fact
consider and provide for everyone in a way which is Best for All
I commit myself to designing and establishing a sustainable
economic system which takes into consideration All Life, as plants, animals and
humans and not just the monster called Consumer
I commit myself to expose the extensive abuse done unto Earth
as the Physical Body we all share in the name of consumption and the pursuit of
happiness
I commit myself to expose how the policies and suggestions
of the rich to the poor are unsustainable and impossible to the core – as the
existence of the rich is in its very foundation dependent on the existence of
the poor and as long as we allow a world where some live in abundance in the
pursuit of happiness there will always be the other side of the coin where the
majority live in scarcity and dismay
I commit myself to expose that a Life of Consumption is
really not a Life at All but merely a life of a pre-programmed robot following
its every impulse without for a moment considering who it is or what it does
and how this affects others
I commit myself to wake up Consumers so they may cease being
Conned and Mesmerized by Consumption and live a Life in consideration of what
is Best for All
