There are those in today's so-called spiritual/truth movement that advocate not participating in the world or its systems.
      The second they start telling you you shouldn't work, shouldn't use money, shouldn't educate yourself with secular knowledge, you might want to pause and ask yourself where they got the knowledge to communitcate in spoken and written language, where and how they live, how they travel, procure food and clothing, and pay for their internet activities.
      If the answer isn't something like "I mine my own gold," as they stand on a podium wearing homespun fabric or woven grass underwear after arriving on foot, there's obviously a huge pile of bullshit somewhere.
      If they aren't actually working at making a living, then they are making a living off of everyone who buys into what they're sayng who ARE paying the money they worked for to hear them talk.
This is the world we live in. I know it's convenient to lay the blame for our problems on politicians and corporations and the education systems, but who makes up those groups if they are not humans? Secret aliens? if that's the case we all might as well give up now, because who can compete with that? It's like ants expecting to protest and make someone tear down the house over their anthill.
      Assuming it isn't the Annunaki and the greys pulling strings, humans do have the power to tear everything down. We can destroy all civilization in ten days or less, and yes, we can all 'opt-out' of the systems. We can all stop going to school, stop going to work, stop driving cars, and stop each other from doing all these things. We can tear down the power plants and start living off the land.
      Billions of people will die, but we won't have anyone "controlling us". Then those groups that do want to control you will win, because we handed them their depopulation agenda without much effort.
      We can continue as we are, and the global capitalists will win, because we handed them their goal without much effort as well.
      So...how do you win? By adhering to a code of ethical conduct based on reasoned morality. What good is a corporation as a tool of control if all of it's employees (that's more than 99% of us) refuse to act contrary to morality and good sense? What good is someone who seeks to cloud your judgement and control you if you are well educated, have a mind trained to reason, and a heart full of compassion?
      What good is a religion telling you what is right or wrong, if we have a world full of people who already know right from wrong?
      No...I'm afraid that it's not as easy as opting out. This war is going on around you, between these two factions of control, but we, as individuals and as groups, are the pawns in that war.
Have you seen someone doing messed up things, and how those around them say "to hell with it, I'm going to do it to"?
      People learn by example, and people change their behavior by example. We are individuals, but we change our behaviors to match the group. The sooner we care more about good judgement, rather than what is expedient in the moment, the sooner we all set better examples for each other.
That is the only way to win this war, which doesn't include us yet for which we are the pawns of action.
      The second we begin to realize that we are able to refuse to do what is wrong and refuse to be controlled will be the second we begin to usurp control from the usurpurs of our sovriegnty.
