It's Good to be here.

It is good to be here. Growing up I always suffered from an internal conflict because I always wanted to dedicate my life to humanity, but such a thing would be considered illogical in my society. I am glad that I stumbled across this community as an unexpected part of my awakening because I now see that there are others with similar feelings.

It doesn't matter what you call the revolution, it just matters that it has begun and it is about love. I like to call it the Love Consciousness Revolution, a spiritual revolution based on love and altruism rather than fear and greed. I am a currently college student, and I am concerned that many of my peers are being driven solely by fear, greed and narcissism.

I am concerned about the path many of us are on... students are taking performance enhancing drugs to boost test scores, and not very many people are asking questions. Why? This is the most dangerous question... It's like the rabbit that led Alice into the rabbit hole that led to Wonderland. I think that most of us before we wake up can feel on an intuitive level that "something" is not right... We just don't know what it is... By asking the question "why" we are led to the rabbit hole- of truth. If we step into it, reality as we know it will be shattered... If we do not, then we will continue to live in a world where "something" isn't quite right... What a dilemma we find ourselves in...

I suppose I could ramble for a few pages, but I will summarize the next rant as follows:
That "something" that isn't quite right is a reality based on duality and separation where money takes the place of god.

When I ask some of my classmates why they cheat on tests and take drugs that damage their bodies to enhance their academic performance, they often look at me as if I am a fool and explain that it is all about money. I am already aware of the concept of money, and I know what they do not: that money is a concept. That's it. Plain and simple. It's like the world is being manipulated by a large game of Monopoly, a game where only the banker is the true winner in the end, while the players toil and fight over colored pieces of paper.

Sounds silly, huh? Well it's no joke. Bankers in real life use this paper, soon to be completely imaginary digits in a computer system if they have their way, to manipulate the world... People, wake up: money is not real. Its function is to corrupt and instigate separation from love. Sounds crazy? Perhaps, but this is real. Think about it: in the US the Federal Reserve has the right to print paper money; paper that millions of people would be more than willing to attack others and even trade their bodies in a sexual capacity for. The issue is that people are willing to trade their most precious gifts from the creator for... paper. Paper. Did I miss something?

Money is a corrupter of true love; see the effects it has had on marriage, education, and friendship (oh I won't associate out with poor people...). Lately I have been thinking about this a lot. All that I ever wanted out of life was love and adventure. I just want friends and family and learning to grace my life. I have been rich, and I have been poor. My happiest times were when I had no money, this was when I stopped paying for entertainment and went into nature. Let me tell you that nature (a forest walk, playing with your dog, meditating in a garden) is the best entertainment I know, and it costs nothing. True love is the source of happiness; I tell people all the time that my friends are my source of happiness. It has always been my dream to live in a loving community where there was no money, just love and teamwork (most likely on a tropical island with lots of tropical fruit trees ;).

A world without money? Is it possible? My friend answered this perfectly: "money was INVENTED." This means that humanity existed before money... interesting.

Things will change soon. This is fact. Either those in "power" will have their way and they will tighten their grip around our lives, using our greed and fear much like a carrot on a string to manipulate us; or we will renounce greed and fear and choose love and altruism. The choice really is ours. We are all ONE. We must not allow the delusion of maya to deceive us. Money is not creator, but is creation. Money is not god. God is the essence of pure love.

I have realized this, and as a result, I have decided to share all of my digital art with the world and not charge money for it. Sure I am making less money, but I am already being paid in love, and very honestly, the love in my heart is much more real to me than imaginary digits in my bank account. I will soon be graduating from college with a degree in biomedical engineering, but my real learning has been within my soul. I am completing a chapter of my life, and my heart is filled with subtle love. I can't explain it in words... I have made friends through this network, and although I haven't seen your faces, I truly can feel your love. Life is about experiences, and at this point I have no regrets. Love is the truest wealth, and, it is good to be here.
