Re: Young people??? Teenagers???
What up SAAK, Im so glad I randomly happend upon this thread... here is my take.
Im 26 years old, and just like you and Estar said, I also had the notion that the story that we had been told as children was not as it seemed. I mean were lied to as children, Santa Clause, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy even the smallest of lies is a reflection of the whole picture. But you knew that already, otherwise you wouldnt have found your way here. I also felt like amongst others I had a pretty good grasp of the idea that conflict and war really didnt seem to solve problems as much as perpetuate them, It always seemed that keeping a positive energy around me always difused situations and kept them off, shoot I made friends that way.... good friends, strong close friends. But you may have been aware of that as well because hell, youre here. I found that I didnt need to be what anyone wanted me to be, I found that my personal happiness and health was BOTTOM LINE because honestly without that I was just a slave sweating and bleeding for someone elses benefit whilest I wasted away in an ocean of servitude and debt. But you may also be well aware of that because as I said before...you...are...here....
This is my point, on behalf of our generation, DO NOT fall into that image of being an inferior youth. Dont let anyone condescend you and make you feel like just because youre younger that you have less of an awareness or idea of whats going on around you. You have eyes too, you have ears, you damn well know how to use them, and can use them better than people much older. In fact ill wager that HUMANS of our generation even have a better grasp on what oneness is and what its going to take to usher in this new way of life that we are heading for. Now im not saying that youre acting inferior or ANYTHING LIKE THAT. But its natural for the younger to feel as though they have less in ways of consciousness and intellect than those who are older than them, and thats just plain bullsh!t. Its just as much a form of social programming as anything else we learn about on these boards. I can say this true, because recently I have had so many debates with my elders that it is CLEAR that they have no grasp on the truth or even the comprehension of such things, I know that if worse comes to worse itll be me helping them to adjust and to survive. Hell a lot of the jack@sses on this very forum that have fist fights over the most unimportant issues are decades older than ourselves. Because we are younger does not make us inferior in awarness, or consciousness, or intellect. What younger really makes us, is the adults who will be in control on future dates such as 2012. The LEADERS of tomorrow who will have to pick up all the broken toys that our elders have been playing with for decades upon decades.
Never lose respect for those who came before you, but take the things they say as if you were reading a thread on this forum. Think of what theyre background may have been, think of what they have been through, think about what types of bias they may have, think of what kind of programming they have not yet transcended, be conscious of the fact that have struggles inside and out and what it may do to the way they think...think and question and think and question and THEN draw your OWN TRUTH. Draw your own truth because its clear, not even our elders know what were really in for, no one will know until that day.
Good luck Kid.... Good luck to all of us,
