Exactly my friend. We can organize our own peaceful (r)evolution without even bringing down the system.

We can create a system of peace within the current system which will inevitably lead to the superstructures of the old system collapsing in on themselves.

People connecting with each other and uniting, seeing past their difference - this is key.

Wow man I truly appreciate it :)

I remembered your username but didn't recall which comment it was, so I went back to check - it was a reply to your comment on CST on a post about smoking weed right?

I'm really happy that a simple comment from me was able to help on your life path :)

About me?

Well there's not much to say really. To put it briefly - I'm a 27 year old dude from central Europe that has in many ways dedicated his life to the pursuit of spirituality, knowing more about this reality, philosophy, being more and more free - and then being able to share that wisdom, freedom, peace and love with others.

I love to write, as well as read. Writing is probably the main medium I use to share my knowledge with others, but eventually I'll try to move to helping people one-on-one in a sort of coaching manner, as well as share my views with others in seminars and workshops (when I feel ready). I've been down this path now for over a decade and I'd really love to make this path the main means to sustain myself financially as well, which is a big goal for me that I wish to tackle next.

I've also went through quite a very difficult period in my life (both in terms of mental and physical health), where I was literally engulfed in an internal hell for several years. But I managed to get myself out of it with the help of those close to me, plenty of help from various alternative health practitioners as well as a lot of work and effort by myself. That period gave me a lot of realizations about reality, fuelled my compassion for anyone suffering as well as helped centre me on my life path to peace, freedom and the Divine spark that is present within me and all of us.

You can also DM me with any more questions if you want.

Stay well man, I'm glad I was able to help :)

Thank you for your comment my friend. I'm glad we share this view.

I do think we can make it as a humanity. Call me a crazy optimist, but I have faith that we will pull through before we destroy ourselves or this beautiful planet.

I'd even say it's already happening, but the revolution will not be televised.

I've been where you are, in your pretty much exact mindset. And I'll be honest, when I see the brainwashed people everywhere that don't want to let go of their ignorance, I get right back into that mindset.

Because what can we do, right? It's every man for himself, right?

If you want to truly grow spiritually and "win the fight in the afterlife", not getting thrown back into the maze after you die (or at least getting thrown back in a wonderful part of the maze, having a beautiful incarnation), so to speak, you have to understand something that took me a very long time to understand.

That thing is unity.

It means that the Cosmos is not a game of every being trying to simply save their own ass. It's about saving yourself as best you can and then helping others, serving others - because you realize the others are not ultimately separate from you.

If you want to defeat your karma and whatever challenges await to you after you die, you need to move towards love. You need to free yourself first, but then you need to allow yourself to help others - you need to become a light in the darkness for the world.

If you truly help yourself and free yourself, you will see that the impetus to help and be the light is a very natural course of action. All you have to do is allow it to manifest. All you have to do is allow yourself to take action.

But even now, giving, helping others, spreading love, value, peace - all of these things are immensely satisfying and immensely fulfilling. They are also the key to resolving all your karma and getting out of the rat maze as the immortal being that you are.

There is a light, a way out - but that light, that way out inevitably leads to love in every form. There is no ultimate freedom without it.

First allow yourself to love and accept yourself fully. Then channel that love in whatever form it may take into the world. Every little bit of it helps.

Good luck my friend.

I understand where you're coming from and I honestly don't mind if we disagree at all. I'd just like to share some more of my personal perspective on this. You don't need to agree with it, but perhaps you might find some value in it nonetheless.

Many things in this life are based on perspective. From one perspective, an illness, an unfortunate even, a horrible condition can be hell on Earth, a nightmare, an unjust coincidence, a prison sentence, but from another it can be a challenge, a lesson, a means of growth and finding your way home.

I myself have gone through a period of my life where I went through the worst hell you can imagine. In the psychological and physiological sense, mentally, emotionally and physically, I was a wreck. This went on for years and only through the help of those closest to me, a lot of alternative medical practitioners and through my own effort and will-power, I was able to get myself out of it.

Even afterwards, even now, I still find myself to be angry about the horrific mental and physical trauma I went through. But I realize that if I hold on to this perspective, I can never truly free myself and can never truly continue living my life the way I want it to. I can never find peace, joy, I can never find love, express love, be love!

Thus looking back, I can also honestly see that what I went through was in fact something that helped me in many ways as well.

For one, I gained deep insight into what true suffering means, how much people, how much beings can suffer. From this a lot of compassion was born within me, compassion and empathy for all beings. Compassion and love are directly intertwined and two sides of the same coin - thus coming to a space of compassion gives one so much. With deeper compassion comes deeper peace, freedom, well-being, as well as purpose. I have discovered that I wish to help others, the ailing world and the beings that reside within it. Though every being must ultimately help themselves, being a catalyst for their growth can be a wonderful experience - and the more of us that there are here, the more we can change this planet into the Utopia it was meant to be.

I have also been discovering more and more how I am not ultimately separate from the rest of reality and how I am deeply intertwined and ultimately in unity with it.

Many insight were born within me as a result of letting go of the baggage that has come up, of learning the lessons, of coming to the realizations that I came to through my ordeal. Life guides you and I would say that Life is not something that wishes to harm you or wishes to destroy your happiness. The Cosmos wishes to, if you listen to its call and guidance, grant you a deeper freedom and peace and move you on to a path that is in the best and highest good for you and for all beings.

Yes, there are many beings that are unconscious, that wish to hurt you. Even the world itself is a place of utter insanity and in many ways filled with what you could call evil. But I see now that you cannot really come in contact with any evil simply by coincidence. Nothing happens by chance. Every evil you come in touch with, every karmic knot that appears in your life appears within it because you can gain something from untying it, from resolving it - you can gain a deeper freedom, many realizations about our life, deeper peace, love.

Ultimately it is every being that creates their own reality, their own experience within it. And through their own creation they move from life to life. Thus in a way everything is your own creation. This can seem unfair because what you create from a place of insanity and unconsciousness breeds more of it - and because of this feeling guilty for your creation is also total nonsense. But karma is not meant as punishment, it is meant as a means of showing you what you can move beyond, what you can transcend, how the energy that you are vibrating with, the anger, hate, fear that you have, can be moved beyond and liberated from . It is a lesson if you will. And that lesson is always meant to move you toward heaven, not greater hell and misery - though where it will lead you is in many ways dependant on your perspective and your perception of it and of the events in your life.

This life could be a prison or a school - but it could also be both, simply depending on your perspective. From one perspective it is a prison, from the other it is simply a prison until you learn the lessons present within the system and thus find the key that is the means of escaping the prison. That key lies within you, as does all wisdom and knowledge that you need to find freedom and refuge from the insanity.

From a karmic standpoint, you create your own current life based on your past lives. In many ways, if everyone remembered their past lives, their load would be far too great. People already have so much baggage from this one life, let alone having memories from things that have happened in the past!

And besides, you must also understand that each life is a self-sustaining microcosm of the macrocosm of your existence as a soul. Thus you don't need any prior knowledge of what you were in a past life, or what you are yet to become. All you need is now. All your patterns, your fears, you anger, your grief, your problems....all of this is here now, all karma that you need to resolve now is available to be resolved now, that is why being present is such a powerful way to live life. If you resolve what is here now, your future can be much closer to a pleasant dream than a nightmare. You have the power to change your destiny by looking within, bringing to light what is troubling you and coming to understand the lessons that you need to learn.

Because I'd say you aren't ultimately forced into being here. Whatever this here is, is here to benefit you. You can learn from all of your experiences, you can find courage and freedom and love from the greatest traumas, you can move forward to your divine destiny. Try to see the whole Cosmos as conspiring to help you instead of conspiring to harm you and you will see plenty of evidence for this being the case :)

Anyway, that is simply my perspective that I wanted to share with you. I do not claim to be absolutely right in anything, but I have been through a lot and have been on this path for a while so I do think my realizations have value for others as well.

Take what resonates with you and discard the rest, only you can know what is true in your own experience.

Much love and I wish you all the best :)

Congratulations man, that's truly inspiring to hear!
