Day 143: The Neo-Apartheid Era

In the past, Apartheid meant the segregation between people according to the colour of their skin.
Currently, many may still mistake the current inequalities in the world as being the result of an 'Apartheid' mentality - but the truth is that we are currently dealing with a whole new form of Apartheid: Neo-Apartheid.

Neo-Apartheid, is the division of people -- not based on skin colour or race -- but based on what you have or do not have as: MONEY.

In South Africa, many claim 'Apartheid' is still roaming, and that the major inequalities present are the result of division based on race. It's really a division based on money: you have those with money, and you have those without money (or very little). It just happens to coincide, that many black people are poor and thus disadvantages -- but the colour of one's skin is not the foundational point, money is, and this is what the Neo-Apartheid is all about.

In the past, for building you had two doors: Whites and Non-Whites -- and based on your skin colour you would have a particular access to resources. Now, we work with a different system of segregation: Money. You want food? This is the price-tag: You have money = you have food. You don't have money = you don't get food. Our current Money System, does not care about the colour of your skin, your gender, your age, where you're from -- all it wants to know is: do you have money?

The peculiar thing with Neo-Apartheid as the Money Division Scam -- is that no-one seems to notice that it exists. We don't seem to think that it is strange, that we go to the shop and see a homeless person in a shaggy box, begging for food or money. We don't ask: "How come that I am able to go into this shop, and get myself food, because I have a card with digital money on it -- and this person who does not have a card with digital money on it, or paper with numbers on -- for some reason does not get to go inside and buy food? Why is that?".

No instead, we try not to look the person in the eye, shush the children that are with us shopping, telling them not to look or interact with the person -- like he has some freaking disease -- and just walk into the shop stone-cold. And then once you're in the shop with all the bright lights and sparkly colours you can relax, you're safe -- that person cannot come through the sliding doors, he does not belong here.

I mean: what the fuck.

If money is our ticket to basically everything in this world, then how come some have it and others don't? And how come some have A LOT of it, while others don't?

This Neo-Apartheid phenomenon, is not an isolated incident that is typical for only a few countries -- this is a World Wide phenomenon taking place!

Let’s have a look at the Lorenz curve of the world – but first, let me explain what a Lorenz curve is:

The Lorenz curve is a graphical method of depicting inequality within a particular area and thus concerning a particular group of people.
You have your vertical and horizontal axis, where the vertical axis represents cumulative income in percentage, and the horizontal axis represents cumulative percentage of people/households, like this:

Then, there is a straight diagonal line in the graph – which represents the point of ‘perfect equality’: the first 10% of the people receive 10% of all income, the first 20% receive 20% of all income and so forth. This line is our point of reference and is always included in the graph:

Then, another curve is drawn, and the ‘deeper’ the other curve is compared to the straight line = the more inequality, as income is more disproportionally distributed. The closer the second curve is to the straight line – the closer it is to being equal.

Here’s a few curves to get an idea of what I’m talking about:

So here you can see the curves become more curved – indicating more inequality.

Now let’s look at the Lorenz curve of the WORLD


Woooaaaah!! That is like practically bordering on the point of Perfect Inequality (and there is no curve more unequal than this one for any part of the world -- this is it) ! That means, that currently, in our Neo-Apartheid Era --- the majority of the people have to do with very little, while a few hog all the wealth. So, we can see that the most prominent inequality currently, is not a race thing, it’s a money thing – and right now, money is distributed disproportionally over the whole of the population and no-one seems to think that this is a strange thing. It’s almost like this must be the graph for some really bad, poor country, where criminals run everything and are so corrupt that nothing is left for the people… This can’t be the graph for the WORLD??

But it is, which means, the world IS run by criminals and we are in a pretty messy situation right now where so many people are living a life of misery because we as humanity have lost all common sense reasoning capability and have surrendered ourselves to fear, where we will never question authority, and never do anything that is ‘out of line’ – just nodding our heads while we’re being robbed blind.

It’s time to wake up to reality, and see that what we have created is so disturbing that it just cannot get more disturbing than what we’re at now. Wake up, the world does not have to be this way, we don’t have to live in fear – check out www.EqualMoney.org -- let’s stop Neo-Apartheid.

Day 101: True Care Knows no Compromise

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to take it for granted that doctors' handwriting is illegible.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to think it's normal and acceptable that doctors' handwriting is illegible, even on medical prescriptions, thinking that doctors 'can't help but write in an illegible manner'.

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that that there can be serious consequences if doctors do not clearly state/write what the patient requires as medication and how/how often the medication should be administered - and thus, that it is of great importance that the doctor writes the prescriptions in a clear and legible manner - as important as the diagnosis itself.

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to question why doctors never do an effort to change their handwriting and what it implies about who they are within being a doctor; that they do not actually care about life or their patients, but that they only care about their egos and other people seeing them as 'more'/'superior' to them, so that they can feel real good about themselves.

I forgive msyelf for accepting and allowing myself to believe, as a doctor, that I have the right to a crappy/illegible handwriting, because I have studied for over 7 years in order to do a great service to humanity by becoming a medic - and therefore, I am allowed to have an illegible handwriting as a reminder to everyone how I have sacrificed so much of my time and money to benefit others.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to believe, as a doctor, that I deserve the praise of my fellow human beings for my 'selflessness' in becoming a doctor, instead of being honest with myself and admitting that I really just wanted to have a good-paying job and wanted to be a respected citizen - and not because of selflessness - because if the doctor really wanted to do a service to his fellow human beings, he would make sure his handwriting is legible so as to provide the best possible care to his patients and mimise possible harm.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to be 'content' with a doctor who simply has a lot of knowledge, instead of realising that a real caretaker would perform every part of this duty with care - including the writing out of the prescription.

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to question an economic system wherein people become doctors not because they really care about people, but just because they wish to get recognition and a lot of money - where we place our trust, our health and our lives in the hands of people who really only care about themselves, their wealth and their reputation.

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that any economic system wherein someone's job is a means towards an end (money/income) - will always produce professionals who perform below standard, because they are more concerned with the end that with the means - whereas, in an Equal Money System, the job is the end in itself, as someone will have a certain profession as a means of self-realisation and self-fulfilment and not because of any other ulterior motives.

I commit myself to expose the superficiality of the elite in that they really worry about what people think of them, just like everybody else.

I commit myself to expose how the seemingly selfless individuals in society merely act according to their own self-interest and within that, cause harm to others - all perpetuated by our economic system that assumes of human beings that they cannot be anything else/anything more than egoistical creatures who eventually only care about themselves - instead of acknowledging that human beings have limited themselves to believe that all we can be is self-serving creatures, when we are able to change and transform ourselves to serve life.

And thus, I commit myself to designing, establishing and promoting an Equal Money System that supports human beings to realise their full potential without harming others in the process.

I commit myself to discover and in turn educate people on what it means to care and that there are no compromises within this, where we cannot pretend to care based on these and these facts if we are still allowing acts of inconsideration and harm out of self-interest.

Day 37: Can’t Hide from Economics - Part 1

When I was younger, I did not want to know anything about economics. I had the belief that it was hard, complex and that I was just not in a position to understand it. I stayed away from the subject, ignored it and focused on “my life”.

Yet, it is the current economic system within this world which ‘defines’ my life and which provides the framework and rules within which I live out my life, and to an absolute extent decides what I can and cannot do with my life. Thus, to ignore and shy away from economics, is really a stupid decision, as economics within this world is what gives and defines the shape, form and direction of your life. Even if you decide to ignore economics and how it operates, you are still controlled by it – and within not wanting to look at economics you are merely placing yourself in a position of disempowerment, as you are deliberately denying yourself the tools with which you can change your life, your world. If you do not know and understand economics, you are excluded from the economic debate. You won’t know what anyone is talking about and thus you are unable to give your input, and thus excluded from the conversation by you own doing, within not wanting to educate yourself about economics.

I was very aware that I had a resistance towards money and economics throughout my life, as something that was apparently too much ‘out there’, and thinking that “But I’m not able to understand this, it’s too complex! Let me just not even bother trying” – so when the Equal Money point opened up and we’d start to have conversations and meetings about the point – I felt left out. I had absolutely no idea of how any of it worked and thus I saw myself as unable of being part of the solution as the Equal Money System. And so I realised: this is where I have to go, this is what I have to take on – this is how I can prove to myself that I can indeed change and expand myself, as this was one of THE points that I could never see myself being able to grasp and work with: “Me? Talk about Money and Economics? Noo… that’s not me! I don’t do / know that stuff! There’s other people out there who are designed to do this type of thing and who like it – let them be concerned with it, I’ll just go and continue with ‘my life’ ”

What’s interesting to be observed from this thinking pattern I just laid out, is that obviously those people who are inclined towards economics are then the ones who end up with all the knowledge and power in terms of how this world works and then they can thus manipulate the world so that they can be at the receiving end within the money game, while everyone else is at a loss because they decided that they “don’t like economics” and within that gave their power away to those that do know economics to rule the world on their behalf and with their permission – within that moment of “not wanting to know how the world works” which is really just another way of saying “I don’t care, leave me alone to do what I want” and thus we all within this gave our “okay” to those in power to do as they please and thus create the mess that has been created – and within that acceptance and allowance: we are equal creators of this mess, and within the realisation that we are all creators either actively by being those with the power and knowledge, or passively through simply not caring – we see and realise our point of responsibility and move our asses in gear so we can no longer accept this ‘laissez-faire’ attitude. Which is fascinating, because the free-market system is often referred to as ‘laissez-faire’ (= “let it do its thing”), which is exactly the attitude so many of us have towards economics, where we just ‘let it do its thing’ without bothering to find out what it’s about, without ever seeing and realising the real impact economics has on our lives and the lives of others and thus within that very acceptance of ‘let it do its thing’ created an economic system which ‘does its thing’ and doesn’t care about anything or anyone – just as we didn’t care about economics, which is really about the distribution of Life. I mean, wouldn’t you like to have a say in how Life is distributed within this world? It’s your Life too!

So, there you go, it’s quite a fuck up – but now we can see and realise the part we have to play and see and realise that we have to educate ourselves on this matter so we can have a say about HOW LIFE IS DISTRIBUTED WITHIN THIS WORLD – and stop this stupid game of some having more than others because we couldn’t get over our egos as our likes and dislikes. I guess that’s why it sounds like 'egonomics’.

And here I am today, studying, reading and writing economics – while this was something I had deemed impossible for myself and something I did not want to do -- yet this has been one of the greatest journeys I took for myself, as I have empowered myself to see beyond “my life” (which I actually didn’t really see anyway, as I did not see and realise that “my life” was subject to economics) and now see how the Life of Earth as Earth and the interaction of all its inhabitants plays out, with money as the driving force, the blood pumping through the veins which decides all outcomes about Life on Earth.

So I invite you to join me in the Journey of Learning about Economics – so you can empower yourself to have a say in the distribution of Life -- as from now on within this Blog we’ll be walking the Economic System from beginning to end, explaining how it operates, applying Self Forgiveness and Scripting the Correction as the Equal Money System – so we can remind ourselves to never ever make this same stupid mistake again, and be responsible human beings, responsible creators – and thus once and for all establish a World which is in Fact Best for All, so we can actually live for the first time.

Enjoy!

Day 25: The Mockery of Democracy

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that democracy exists

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that a political system is in place where elected politicians represent and work for within the best interest of the population

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the world is governed within a system of plutocracy (rule by the wealthy for the wealthy)

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that presidents and leaders are not brought forth into their position through true democratic processes – but are selectively chosen by the wealthy as their candidate – where the candidate has shown promise to serve and maintain the interest of the wealthy –and thus the wealthy will sponsor and fund their candidate’s campaign and place him/her in a position of power

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that money rules

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself that no democracy and sovereignty can exist when countries are indebted over their heads to other countries and private entities – and where the latter will dictate to the debtor what must be done to remain in the creditor’s grace

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see that there can be no political freedom within the current state of the world due to the current world economic system – as all decisions are based on money and one can only do so much if there is only so much money available and one is in massive debt

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that there is only power where there is money

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that a leader can only do as much as he is being supported to do financially by other parties – where these parties are the wealthy who will only support their leader if the leader supports their interest

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that at this stage it does not matter who gets elected during a political election – as the elected can only carry out policies if he has money and this money comes from the wealthy – and thus the cash flow from the wealthy will actually determine the course of a nation

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that although symbolic leaders change – those who actually govern do not change – as all they ever do is make sure that they do not lose their wealth and find ways to accumulate more wealth  – and thus no real change ever comes about

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the leaders within this world and their cronies are all interlinked with the corporatocracy – as they all in some way or another have links with major corporations and will rule and run their politics in the benefit of the corporatocracy

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the world isn’t run by politicians but by ruthless businessmen

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that we are currently not all “free citizens” with a “chosen leader” who will direct a society to what is Best for All – but where we are all employees to a symbolic leader who in fact works for the corporate elite and that we are freedom is only an illusion which is maintained so we won’t see what is going on and complacently remain in our position of slaves

I commit myself to expose the political criminalities that take place within the world

I commit myself to show that the current political system is works more like a criminal syndicate than a system which support the people for the sake of the people

I commit myself to expose that we do not have and never have had a true democracy – and that the first step towards true participation and representation of the whole is the Equal Money System

I commit myself to expose the money flow which dictates who gets to be a leader and who doesn’t and how leaders will only act in a way which benefits the wealthy

I commit myself to expose that we are not living in a democracy but in a plutocracy/corporatocracy – where only money counts and money votes

I commit myself expose how no nation, no being is in fact sovereign as all are slaves to the money system and have no actual freedom whatsoever

I commit myself to show that we as the human race have in no way evolved – we’ve only gotten better at justifying our behaviour and come up with clever, sophisticated ways to keep doing what we’ve always been doing while maintaining the illusion of “evolution” and “freedom”

I commit myself to an Equal Money System – the only system where all will in fact be FREE
