We Are Controlled By Hopes and Fears
As we are controlled by our own
hopes and fears,
we are also controlled by others’
hopes and fears
and so we control others by
our hopes and fears.
It’s a conscious – and not so conscious – un-merry-go-round.
Everyone sets out with good intentions, but quickly learns who is “buttering their bread”. Politicians make policies and police them. A political party is partial to its own agenda. Their objective is work together to deceive us. It’s been that way since society was conceived. Those in charge want to stay in charge. Those with wealth want to keep their wealth. Their power and wealth comes from us; we consent to them being in charge and acquiring wealth.
They need authorities to protect them, and they also protect themselves. It doesn’t matter what they say, we only have to look at the results to see what they’re up to. And it always seems that there is someone else to blame. Political parties are here to stay, so time does not matter as there will always be someone else to carry on the agenda. Corporations are the same; to them, what matters is their dynasty.
It is not a filter-down system; it’s a filter-up system. The population gets milked. It’s corruption, but as they made the rules, it can’t be termed ‘corruption’. Of course, it’s been this way for millennia, but now there is intrusive surveillance.
Why would they need such intrusive surveillance?
They fear that we will find out, and they hope that we won’t.
I absolutely wholeheartedly agree with this….All I can add is that all i see is both absolute truth and relative truth intertwined and wrapped so tightly together I see no way to separate them easily at this point.
Hello Rob,
Our head and hearts are being messed with.

I always liked the quote form Krishmurti, “There is no authority in human form.” The whole truth must be “There is no authority in form.”
Hello Su,
Yes.
Form is but an expression or reflection of absolute truth. As it’s says in the “Heart sutra” Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form.
That expression may light/love or dull/ banal-evil, it all depends on the individual practitioner. We all practice something.
