Modus Operandi

So I should probably mention quickly, the inspiration for this blog. I'll be the first to admit... i was in "The Matrix". I was a blind consumer. I was a social lemming.  I used to believe that the pursuit of happiness was levered to the ability to "live the life", the "american dream".  I was the child of immigrant parents who only wanted to escape the poverty and tyranny of their homeland and it's dictatorial rule.  Fast forward to today.  I find myself extremely conscious of the worlds operating forces, namely government, politics, military industrial complexes, big pharma, big oil, big banks, the federal reserve/central bank of Canada etc...

My days are now consumed by the relentless pursuit of knowledge.  TED talks, documentaries, social activism causes and independent news media have given me a completely new level of awareness. Awareness of our place on this planet, our symbiotic relationship with the earth, our common ancestral links as a human species, and our definitions of happiness and well being.  Now I know that sounds pretty flowery but there really is no other way to break it down other than in plain English.

So where does The Zeitgest Movement come into play here?  Well it was simply the first step that i encountered in my journey. The awakening from a sleep ruled by slavery of debt, acceptance of the status quo, and not questioning established institutions.  If you haven't yet watched it, i highly recommend watching this quick summary.  Knowledge of a solution concept that has been termed a Resource Based Economy is a rational and compassionate solution to the worlds problems that truly is, "beyond poverty, politics, and war." I'm looking forward to sharing this journey with all of you. Till next time...
