The world is drowning in drugs. We are consuming an endless list of vices. Most only have experience with artificial dopamine. This world does not care or want to nurture the human spirit, to feed the human soul. I have observed, that due to global structures and patterns in technology, business, and government, humans have lost the very things that make them human. Their humanness is gone. I am one who can critically write about this subject, as I theorize the deeper root problems further below.
Do you see the anguish, the pure agony and distress this man is in? Nobody wants to live like this, and many don't choose to. They are thrown into a battle (modern society) that they're loosing from the get-go. As we know, people on the streets of a city are crowded into concrete slabs and stacked cubbies just like the rest of 'em, and had no access to re-learning tribal practices and survival techniques that we lost over the generations. They didn't even have a farm or ranch they could find or reach. They're just left to slowly waste away, suffering in every way imaginable while the world goes on without them. Partly because no one knows what to do with them, and there's no where to "place" them. There's no "room" for them. There's no "role" they can fill. Nobody wants to deal with them so they act like they don't see them. They could have been abused as a child, lived in the foster system full of physical and sexual abuse, abandoned by their parents, lost everything after their family, children, or spouse died, had no one and no where to return to after serving their country. Nobody deserves this. This is a grisly symptom of civilization and cities, which are far from civil. There is all the money in the world to fix these issues, yet those who have it are cruising the Mediterranean sea, joining secret societies, having wild sex in expensive hotels, and buying their Gucci, Chanel and Dior. What a depressing world. While I'm here I want to give-back far more than I ever took. That is what these b-ings need most, real leaders to add some light into their lives.
A drug is a medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body. Alcohol, caffeine, sugar, dramatic lights & visuals, lust, and even love is a drug. People forget that drugs are anything that has a sort of amped effect on the b-ing to provide stimulation, distraction or numbing where there is a lacking or unhealed space, a subconscious diversion.
The root of the problem is that human conditional needs are not met in our day-to-day lives and society encourages, really is intended to deprive humans of what they need, all so they can make a dollar to survive and sell all their time to a role they didn't sign up for. There is no sense of purpose, belonging, meaning, opportunity, or freedom for the general public. They also don't feel like they're seen, heard or represented in the public. It's all a spiritual concern.
People need to have a purpose to live for, a cause they stand for, a philosophy they share, or chosen path they chose to take. That is, if they don't have children or family. The bulk of these homeless folks and/or addicts and lost souls don't have family to support them or who cares, or they've tried but couldn't meet them where they needed. There could be some history that brings up too much pain or negative associations with those individuals. They could have placed all of their energy, could have gave their all to a job that suddenly laid them off and they didn't know what to do or how to cope. We don't know their stories.
These lost souls were unable to find a space to really belong. I learned that I truly belonged to the Earth once all humans had disappeared when I needed them most, so therefore I will never feel like I don't belong again. The Earth birthed me, raised me, fed me, and allowed me to B. No offense to my parents, but the Earth loved me in all areas of life. Se, the Earth has no judgment, no opinions, no favorites, no trauma she inflects on you, she just is, and she offers, selflessly gives all she has, and we take. Humans need a community, a group, a clique, a family, a culture, anything to attach to in order to feel like they belong, and so they shape their lives around those spaces and characteristics of those group identity to fit in. Aliens don't need to fit in; all they need is the Earth to support them. They need access to the Earth and to work with her elements, to appreciate all her creatures, and to admire her beauty and mystery. This is shedding identities which are not everlasting. Indeed, everything changes with time.
Lots of people go around moseying through life feeling like it is meaningless, or barely feeling at all. People need meaning, whether it be a spiritual meaning, an existential meaning, artistic meaning, emotional meaning, or a contributional meaning. People cannot work at a job that doesn't provide any meaning, where they're not helping anyone, or any b-ings live better lives. Working in customer service or sales for, say, a tech distributor, or a insurance, or a pharmaceutical brand. Maybe working as a stocker at a store, a butcher, or a bankteller, or a fast food cook, a janitor, etc. I am not shaming these jobs whatsoever, in fact, I respect the people willing to work them who have a better work ethic than me, but I know that they deserve a meaning-filled life, if they desire it. I have known many people were perfectly satisfied to work these jobs, and led very content lives. However, some spirits need to walk a different path, they need more, they want to make a larger impact, or to insert deeper aspects of themselves into the world. Meaning is found most when you form your own thoughts, opinions, and share these in combination with your story through acts of expression, symbolic connection, and thoughtful or creative works. Meaning can absolutely come from making a difference in individual lives, healing others, and saving lives. Find what meaning is to you.
Opportunity significantly determines whether someone is healthy, happy, or "successful" by their own definition. If you are raised in a village without clean water, you will grow sick, tired, and we know the rest. If your parents couldn't afford to send you to college, you will have to work longer hours at a more strenuous job, maybe even struggle to pay bills for many years of your life. If you're born in a family full of addicts and abusers, not only will you become accustomed to that lifestyle, because it's all you know, you will also have very little opportunity for escape, for a stable guardian, and a secure home. You will struggle with relationships, financials, possibly your own addictions or compulsions, and you will be negatively affected emotionally, physically, and mentally, so every area of your life will suffer. If you see one of your parents deal with an abuser during your childhood and you feel powerless, you will continue that powerlessness and dependence, that fear, and that outlook while attracting an abusive partner yourself. It's such a shame how deeply intertwined the random circumstances of our lives, the cards we're dealt can dampen the quality of your entire life, as opposed to being born in a setting where you have everything and then some that you could ever need. Opportunity and freedom are almost one-in-the-same.
It is in my wholly belief that all b-ings are working toward greater amounts of freedom. All the conditions above we expanded on allow for more freedom once found for the individual's complex and Younique needs, demands or wants to accomplish what their soul has planned and what their spirit is capable of. Freedom exists mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Typically, many of the freedoms within each of these components of b-ing are only accessed by the means of money. As of current my perspective may be biased. Sure you can feed these areas to some degree without money, but there is only a fraction of freedom to be found without it.
The only way someone exists is if they are seen, heard and acknowledged by others. The homeless, and those suffering from other spiritual ailments feel like they are invisible, like they don't matter. These people need our attention and they need their stories and hardships to be shared. They need a means to do so.
This is worse than "less civilized" peoples and demographies, wherein they are still working for their food, working together to cultivate, collect, hunt, travel, child-rear and then some. Here in America these people want to die and have resorted to feel nothing than to feel all the pain and suffering most of us are dealing with, even if it literally leads to death and they know it. They are not fighting to have enough food and clean water, they are fighting to survive the lifelessness America's useless structure and lack of problem-solving causes us. These people have no where to turn because we are left helpless. We have no power and these people feel it. They are killing us willingly.
These are all symptoms of modern living. This world is not made to feed the soul.
REAL SOLUTIONS
Transform churches/schools/grocery stores/business buildings into homeless shelters or indoor gardens.
Provide shelter animals (soon to be euthanized for no fault of theirs) as pets/companions/healers for people (food & vet expenses paid for by the State, City, County, or organization, etc.)
Transform streets into farmer's markets.
Provide free art supplies from State, City, or County budgets.
Plow more fields and transition to gardens. Create jobs that allow people to get in contact and work directly with the dirt, their food, animals, or nature. Simply allow humans to see and experience the outdoors instead of drab, soul-crushing city life or digital numbing.
Humans (soon to be aliens) need to get in touch with their roots, their primate ancestors, their tribalistic behaviors and mentality once again.
Again, another critique of the Capitalist ideology. Our world is drowning in Capitalism and its barbaric "ideals." Our people are starving, they are drained of their life force, and they are suffering financially, mentally, emotionally, physically, AND encompassing all these, spiritually more than EVER BEFORE. Yes, there are 8 billion people on the planet, and it seems our governments and elected "leaders" have no idea how to help them or what to do with them. When it seems impossible for the majority of the population to find a life purpose, that is a blatant indication that there is very little true human progress to be made (aliens) and an overpopulation of humans, as most are depressed, distressed, or in some type of severe pain, dying internally or externally. Governments, officials, even most "thought leaders" are ineligible to speak on human issues, needs, or the environmental crisis, as they are from previous time periods (such as a decade) and time is SPEEDING UP VERY FAST. They are not qualified to take care of our needs because they have not experienced those types of pain, however, some have. Spiritualism is really an outlook on life and maintaining an energy and mood or "vibration" which stimulates the self and soul to live a healthier, abundant and all-around more satisfying lifestyle. This is impossible to do if your parents abandoned you as a baby, you need community and/or a reason to exist, to feel loved. If you were physically abused as a young child or teen, you need love, healing, and protection. If you sat in anguish for months or years after the pass of a loved one, alone, you need friendship, kinship, or simply a reason to trust again. If you were a military vet and had no one to listen to you, you need to be heard, understood and supported. If you were bullied and verbally attacked by those you thought were trustworthy, you need safety and someone to listen. These humans are missing all the points. They aren't comprehending the picture of life. Let me make this clearer for you. We must think deeper. We must try new solutions. We can and will create more rehabilitative service-centered jobs. We must respect humans for what they are. We absolutely must have suffered in some form or capacity to really know what these b-ings are going through. If you are a privileged, spoiled brat, and I've met my fair share, then you are entirely incapable of understanding the direness of these b-ing's hardships.
Some of the most talented, thoughtful, soulful, spirited, beautiful people with the best stories are homeless. With capitalism, you must know marketing because it is ingrained in everything people living amongst society do and it is the one way we have structured life to work. That is not how growing numbers of people really want to live. Marketing is a lie, it is usually oversold, dramatized, endorsed, or hyped in some way. That is not how I want to live. Capitalism does not go in-hand with the soul, and it kills the spirit. Let me be specific, TOO MUCH Capitalism results in this. We forget that balance must be brought in with more altruistic, communal qualities. I call this the give-back system.
WE MUST SOLVE THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM.
Humans as a whole suffer from loneliness, missing purposes, absence of meaning, and are yearning for connection, belonging, and a means to express themselves, and be themselves fully. Financially, if someone has insufficient funds, then, with the devastating way our world is structured, they are unable to have a safe, comfortable living quarters, find medical care or therapy, buy nutritional foods, and by and large, tend to emotional, physical, mental wellbeing to help the individual live their best life. It is unfortunate that many freedoms are granted only with the possession of money.
Humans have been consuming rather than creating. Building up anger, frustration, shame, guilt, resentment, hopelessness, depression, loneliness and the dozens more emotions experienced by humans, but without finding a way to express them in a healthy manner—they could turn to bitterness, mania, lunacy, aggression, and even violence. All these wounds and traumas that humans absorb could compound and be inflicted onto others if they're not handled properly. They could very well be unleashed on family, friends, or strangers who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They could be unleashed on the self in the form of toxic limited beliefs and behaviors. All these vices, drugs, these dopamine hits will destroy your body's natural brain chemical levels, like serotonin, melatonin, and healthy, constant levels of endorphins because once these are affected, they are quite difficult to return back to their former stable levels and may no longer respond with normal production levels.
To sum, I believe that the globe is not only suffering from a drug epidemic, but a spiritual and soulful depravity and disconnection. My soul came here to study life and my spirit is here to bring the dead to life again. I will leave this statement to your interpretation. Everyone has to figure out their own soul, spirit and ego.
