"using people is freedom"
The only way to be able to do this is if you have money and the time to enjoy this money. If you are busy making money you cant possibly be free as all your time is tied up in this. If all your time is tied up in this, you may be able to do whatever you want because you have money, but you wont be able to do it whenever you want as you are busy all the time. This is where you use other people to work in your place and you pay them a set amount and live off the surplus fruits of their labor. The freedom to come and go as one pleases is the real currency here, because without that, winning the lottery would be meaningless. What do you think of when you imagine winning the lottery? Having a lot of money isnt the exciting part, no, we imagine all the free time we will have. We imagine being able to go where we want, whenever we want, and be able to do what we want.All this being said, flexibility in scheduling of when we will work and the conditions of our work and having some control over these things should figure in to how much money we are making. If you are making very little money but have flexibility and control over when and how much you are going to work, therefore doing everything completely voluntarily,you are still making more freedom than the guy who makes more money with less freedom. Remember money is freedom. Forget about all the working to survive crap. Survival is what you get when you are working with money as your primary goal. Survival is what animals strive for. A man is not an animal and should be striving for more than just mere sustenance. Man requires free time and this is what we should be working towards. Free time is the true currency. I guess this is what they mean when they say that time is money.
The only sustainable way to keep your freedom is to use other peoples time, and trade them money for their time, since most people are living on an animalistic survival level.Even if one is not making much money, if he has all his needs met while maintaining his freedom, let all the employees make all the money, give me the freedom. Using people is ok as long as you pay them for it. I've seen it all over the place. The place I work now, at an a/c company, where the workers are putting in 80 hours a week in 107 degree plus environments and are happy to do it because they feel the money they are making is just compensation for the chunks of their lives they are missing out on. They dont mind being used. Meanwhile, the ones at the top can take off when they want because as long as they have drones who live for money doing all his work for him, his presence isnt required. If there ever was a secret conspiracy, this would be it; that money is not the true currency for evolved man. The true currency is the freedom to make headway in the enjoyment of his lifetime. But, just as you cant pay a dog for a trick with a dollar, (he just doesnt understand the value of it) you cant pay some men in freedom, because they are conditioned to think that money is the only form of valuable currency.All money gets you (if not used to buy you time), is the ability to consume, and the adoration of like minded people who worship this consumption. At what point did we trade our freedom in for this thing that has value because everyone believes it does. This is the real "illuminati conspiracy".

coincidence?
gods have a time-space allergy
Everyone wants to be the fly on the wall, the house on the hill overlooking the coolest location. We watch everyone else move around while we look on like ghosts. “What are you looking at?”, yet we are sitting in the cafĂ© watching all the people go by like little voyeurs. We all want to look without being seen, sitting in our homes in our underwear while laughing at the guy in his underwear getting arrested on COPS. Everyone has a double standard, thinking we deserve one thing and everyone else deserves another. But this is all darkness and the stuff of beasts.
The kind of stuff that blows away with the wind after one dies.

hookey
message from a tree
Message from a Tree
· Today is the closest thing to Friday I have had in a long time and it feels good. I took a bike ride and it is a day I am not likely to forget in a long time even though I did nothing totally out of the ordinary for most people. I went to Reverchon park at about 3:30 to 4:00 and had an extraordinary experience with a giant tree. I don’t know what kind it is, but I wont likely forget its location. The tree is so old and wise, that I feel like I have my own Don Juan to teach me things. First, I stopped and said hello to it and it didn’t seem very receptive, but it told me that it was just not used to having a human talk to it, that’s why it seemed so aloof at first. It (the tree) didn’t waste any time teaching me things. I started out by feeling its energy, and it was very warm, and its warmth extended out farther away from the tree than the one that got cut down over on Lemmon by the red and white checkered water tower. This tree has a completely different personality, not as heavy. This tree here at Reverchon isn’t as aloof as the other tree. Its as if the one at Lemmon were older than its years. The one at reverchon seems to be as old personalitywise, but as evidenced by the thickness of the trunk and the height, it has to be at least twice the age of the other one. This one has a mood to match Don Juan and is more tolerant and patient while listening to my questions. I asked him about the tree over on Lemmon and he didn’t answer me right away, but instead, I just sat there and it must have given me energy or something because I got really patient all of a sudden, and that just is not me. It was a feeling of patient energetic ebullience, kind of like the everyday feeling I had as a child when playing with my toys in peace. I was just about to leave when he told me, “see, that is your problem, you have no patience, I was just about to answer your questions. Sit down and look at the shadows of my bark and try to perceive the flipside. “ He must have given me some energy or something, because I was able to get a few good glimpses of the shadows as perceived as this world, and this world as perceived as the shadows. I had been trying to do that for a long time; ever since I started reading Castaneda. I guess it took my meeting of this tree to have a breakthrough. While I was sitting there practicing my shadow watching, during a break in concentration, it told me that I was the reason the other tree got killed. I wasn’t the direct reason, the tree knew its time had come way before I had arrived, but something about my being there had something to do with it. As if I am a black cat or a crow. The black cat and crow don’t make things happen, but they are signs of bad to come. He said its because of my heavy mood and because I indulge too much. I ---“Love it and kiss it and squeeze it and never put it down’’--- too much to everything in my life, and that is a coincidence because when I was riding my bike , what I thought was Jesus told me earlier today that if you live your life you will lose it. Its funny that a tree would tell me the same message put in a different context, as if they were related. I need to quit holding on to things so tightly in life. I need to let go . I am going to start going to the tree to get counsel, because I think it might be able to explain some things I want to know about God and the universe.
