You were born a small bundle of infinite potential

You loved and were loved unconditionally

The concept of lack was foreign to you

As you grew you started to question the world around you

But at school you were taught to repeat information instead of to think for yourself

You were ridiculed by peers when you challenged the status quo

And so you allowed group mentality to sway your actions and decisions 

You did as you were told as you feared the consequences of what would happen if you did not

Do you like being ruled by fear?

You were judged and so you learned to do the same

Yet one has to recognise in ones self what he is judging in another

Be aware of what you are judging then change that part of yourself

Your opinions were formed through the use of television programming
(it's not called programming for nothing)

You were presented with continuous distractions to keep you from questioning the reality around you

You were deliberately kept ignorant as we fear what we do not understand

You sought news of world events but were fed propaganda

You were given hope with promise of effecting change through voting

But that hope disintegrated when you realised that both parties were played by the same hand

You were told by religions to worship a deity outside of yourself

Never realising that you were already part of the infinite consciousness of the universe

You joined the rat race as no other option was evident

You were trained to be a consumer with constant bombardment of corporate symbolism

Chemicals were placed in your food and drink to make you more passive

You grew unhappy with your situation but were told "that's life, get on with it"

You were taught to disparage others because of their differences

Which made you vulnerable when those differences you identified yourself with were in turn attacked

You repeat the same cycles of negative behaviour because you let circumstance dictate your mood

If only you were able to realise there is no good or bad, only perception

You let the past dictate your present and worry about the future

Even though the past and future do not exist, you only ever have the present

Living in the moment is all you can ever do

National pride was instilled in you at the expense of distancing you from the rest of the world

You only limit that which you label and ascribe terms to. The truth cannot be so easily forced into a box

Is it any wonder you feel confused and directionless?

The powers that be have been working very hard to make you believe you have no power, no control

But it's all just an illusion

Once you realise how powerful you are you will never again act against your will

All you have to do is remember who you are

You are the same soul that was born all those years ago

That same soul but with years of conditioning clouding your sense of self

As Bill Hicks said "You are the imagination of yourself"

So who do you want to be?

It's your choice, just start believing 

We all come from the same source, we are all one

You realise this as the labels you were given no longer fit

You were born free and will die free but will you live free?

The choice is yours

You are infinite potential

Respect yourself and you will respect others

A world beyond war
