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.

14

I picked a random number and now I am writing about it.

14.

It is two weeks.

Two weeks, what could you do in two whole weeks?

Maybe you could write a book, paint your house, learn to dance, go on a trip, improve your business, change a relationship, who knows?

We do not know what life will throw at us at any point, yet often two weeks of our lives will drift by on autopilot in a blur and we would not even notice what we had done or missed.

Take the next two weeks and do something new, something amazing, do something different for the next two weeks and see where it leads to.

Tell someone every day for two weeks that you love them, smile at a stranger for 14 days in a row, eat one less thing for 14 days, walk for 15 minutes every day, watch 30 minutes less YouTube, call one person, do some act of generosity and kindness each day, whatever it is, do it 14 times.

You’ll never know unless you try.

What will you do different just 14 times?
