Why I Am Doing What I Am

I have never been one to willingly follow the masses. I have always felt uneasy about the human situation and have got into a lot of trouble for bringing up questions that most leave swept under the mat of the daily grind. I understand the situation slightly better these days and so don't complain and criticise as much anymore, but still see the real and desperate need to have my questions answered, because my questions are the questions of mankind, whether they know it or not.

I have never understood why we accept unacceptable situations when there are alternatives. My understanding these days is that most of us are conditioned from a very young age to accept the unacceptable, because we have been conditioned by fear for many, many generations. The plot really thickens when one studies the motives driving those who institute the ways we are to live. Most do not have a clue as to why we are conditioned from such a young age to conform to a life of hard work. The history of mankind is one of slavery from the very beginning. The realisation one happens upon after putting the pieces together leaves a bit of a bitter taste that lingers long and confirms many a suspicion running deep for very long.

I am not one to accept the sorry state we are expected to accept and be content with. Life to me is more than that. We are the marvel of the universe, with complexities that will continue to baffle the scientists for the next three hundred years. Our brains are the most complex structures known and our DNA is the code that builds, manages, and records our everything. That we are only using 3% of our entire genome sequence is a testament to what our potential is if we can evolve enough to grow into a bit more of that sequence. We are children of the stars and not destined to be a slave species any more.

The first and foremost most important thing mankind must change is their view of themselves. We deserve more than a mediocre life of slaving away for a system that has served a few greedy heartless bastards, while leaving the majority a broken and miserable many, trying to scrape together enough to eat and feed their foolishly large hungry families. The picture is very, very bad for humanity at the moment. We are on the brink of a major restoring of the balance. The few have taken too much from the many, and the many have taken too much from the earth. 95% of humanity live in dire poverty while 1% of humanity enjoy 95% of the wealth.

I understand that the process must unfold and that consciousness must undergo all experiences, both the bitter and the sweet. I also understand that we have it within us to make the changes we need to make this experience we share a bit more enjoyable for more and more of us. What has to be slowly but surely chiseled away at is the enslavement we have toward the money concept. The idea that only money can bring the things we need to enjoy life is absurd. The idea that we have to work hard doing a miserable job to earn enough to afford the basics of living is even more ridiculous. Food, shelter, access to knowledge, peace and health, adventure, fun and love. These should not come at the price they do. Just because it is that way does not make it right.

So, before I say too much, this is why I am doing what I am. We must stop preaching from the rooftops and criticising the system that we have ignorantly allowed to take over. We must stop talking. We must, in the words of Gandhi, "be the change we want to see in the world". We must take back our freedom from the enslavement of this sick system and rebuild it in a way that is good for all. The rich and the poor all bleed if cut. The Earth too suffers from our situation and so the need to restore balance with all is the most important thing now for us to do. We have discovered many technologies and have learned so much about our surroundings, but at a cost. We must now learn to give back as much as we take. We must learn to rise above our conditioning and give our future generations a consideration. What are we going to leave for our children, a pleasant place to incarnate and learn in peace, or a worsened version of the current mess?

So, because this is a big mess, it is going to take a lot of cleaning up. The first thing to do is to enable people to exist on their own again, as our forefathers managed to do for hundreds of years before the industrial revolution. We need to learn how to feed ourselves and provide our families with the basics the modern age has to offer. Electricity is not as important as food, but it is something that the modern age human should not have to go without. It is warmth in winter, coolth in summer, it cooks food, it preserves perishables, it provides entertainment and brings knowledge to many.

Since we are not going to reform the entire system in our lifetimes, we must learn to work with the system, while at the same time creating an alternative system those brave enough to embark on will enjoy and leave for their children to enjoy in harmony with nature and fellow humans. Because we need money, we need to find a way to acquire it in a sustainable, easy, harmonious way. The way I choose is to let the money blow in with the wind.

This blog will chronicle the process whereby I turn wind into money using wind turbines to facilitate the conversion. Citizens need power, the system needs power to further its onslaught. The system is prepared to pay for any power generated by independent power producers. I intend to exploit this idea and secure enough income for the purpose of furthering the creation of the alternative system. This way everyone wins, and, as long as the system remains, it is a renewable source of income.

I know that this smacks of hypocrasy, but the inertia of the system is so big that is is virtually impossible to exist without it, but we must begin somewhere, and this is where I choose to begin.
