There is a nomad in us all

Sheep is what we have become, firstly enslaved by the myths of the first mythmakers to wipe out all other human species, then to populate the planet, then enslaved by wheat, that we humans helped to become the most successful plant on the planet.

Previous to the agrarian revolution that occurred about 14,000 years ago we were free to roam and we were nomadic. We did not do back breaking work in a field all day long tending wheat and living all on top of each other catching disease and becoming more controlled by the few.

Then the industrial revolution came and we became more and more enslaved by the industrialists and their factories.

The industrialists armed with huge profits, and more likely with initial good intention, bought up the schools, universities, the politicians, the world. That tiny elite, the modern mythmakers, have successfully turned us all into even more compliant sheep, whipped into line via their media messages, their laws, their rules and the fears they have manufactured to control us with.

But in our DNA is still the urge to be free, to roam, to live a simple, meaningful life free from the disease of money, consumption, and control. Our enslavement is only possible all the time we believe their myths and all the time we succumb to fear.

Try roaming, try being nomadic, try being curious about your urge for freedom.

There is a nomad in every one of us, go and roam, leave the flock.

Stop seeking power

We are taught to seek power, authority, to be in control, to rise to the top, to be in charge, to be tough, dominant, strong, be the boss.

Stop seeking that. The moment we want to control others we become weak and insecure.

Seek instead to lead, to inspire, to connect, to collaborate, to be cooperative, to compromise, to do things with others, to be inclusive, to be supportive.

Seek to be comfortable with ourselves and accept that worthiness does not come from control, we are all already worthy regardless of what we achieve.

Seek empathy, compassion, connection and vulnerability.

Why not be with others instead of controlling them?
