> Employment "should" mean working honestly and persistently toward the benefit of self and others. I contend that dignity is lost in the modern man and that a change of attitudes is in order to achieve the next phase of synthesis with higher modes of prosperity. The concept of "wage slavery" was monikered in the beginning phase of the Industrial Era. If your ancestors knew you drive your car an hour one way to sit in a chair in an office under fluorescent lights, not have the liberty to leave, eat, relieve yourself or tend to other business at your leisure, they would spit at you. >Literacy "should" be the ability to communicate and research, or as you say, to question and navigate. See, you understand more than you give yourself credit for. Not only have you identified my aim of reframing these concepts, you've offered an example, which, to your credit, is sort of the point of me making the distinction - for you to think harder and manifest a better, less-diluted perspective of concepts like "literacy". >Church or temple "should" be an internal state of being reverant, or a group of people assembled for that purpose, not a physical place or building that you go to. Well done. "Church" doesn't and *can't* mean a building. If it does, none of those participating are progressing toward spiritual development, but vanity at best. "Church" is about community and a consensus of higher aspirations to achieve an elevated state. >Truth. To quote Shakespeare, as Polonius said to his son in the Merchant of Venice, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be, For loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry." Still, debt is unavoidable, and as in the Lord's Prayer, something to ultimately be forgiven. Debt, you'll find, is a monetary tool that the privy out to wield by themselves. The trouble is economic tools are deprecating by the day and until the mean better understand the solutions to current deprecations, all of those with adequate foresight will escape the wage cage and be a step ahead of the next phase for how Energy is processed, transacted and accrued. >Modern laws have indeed gone beyond all reason, and it is impossible to avoid breaking some of them, but a relatively clean criminal record could still be considered somewhat virtuous. The sad part is no one seems to understand what having a distinct profession with the role of deciphering Law really means. If Laws aren't simple and rare enough for Man to understand the breadth of them, they're beyond pointless; they're burdensome. >Who? i encounter them every day. Many millions of people seem to have gone out of their fucking minds. What if I told you that you're not supposed to notice these things, that perceiving these discrepancies is indicative of changes brewing in you that were not long ago unaccounted for, that this occurrence is growing rapidly, that the answer for this anomaly is unfound in most concerned circles and that you're very early, which will ultimately afford you a powerful but responsible position during "the next phase"?
